Well if you read all the way through this post you will find out.  Let me just say that when I see mindmaps and a teacher’s name that has a bachelors and two masters degrees after his name I know I am out of my league.

This post is about a Warrior Forum, Warrior Special Offer (WSO), that I laid my money down on a couple of weeks ago.  The title of the WSO course is Juggernaut SEO which sort of intrigued me as a juggeranut is an unstoppable force, so just had to know more.

Unstoppable is the perfect word to describe this man, John S. Rhodes.  Before this WSO I had never heard of him, better yet I am sure he never had heard of me, but I am here to tell you that I will never forget him and I have only been exposed to two of his classes to date.

Here’s the deal.  These classes, each one of them could almost be described as a full college course, or at least a two day seminar.  You better pee before you log in.  Have your caffeine within your reach and get your pen and note pad in hand.

Once this guy starts there are no breaks and each single class has been about five hours each.  If you ask me I would prefer to have twenty 1 hour classes because for me, who is a prime example of AADHD (and what IM’r isn’t?) I have to force myself to stay with him.

Sounds like an easy task but here is what happens.  John will mention a topic or make a point and your mind races instantly to something you just did or something you have been planning to check in to and you want to scoot off page to go and make some magic happen from your fingertips.

Better not leave though, because the next best tip is in the following sentence.  Holy cow, this man knows his stuff!  Just as you are thinking, yeah, yeah, I know all that, he will hit you with a zinger that takes you right back to the Holy cow!

So far after 10 hours of instruction he is just about starting to get around to SEO.  The first classes have been about getting your head screwed on right.  You are going to learn things like, what makes people buy, how you should be hitting hot buttons with your offers, feeding their inner child, (and yours) and crap that you never ever knew related to SEO, but has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with SEO.

You are in this game for the money right?  Well sticking up a website with some Adsense or an affiliate product on it will not make you rich.  You MUST learn about the things that John teaches.  Then you will start to “Get It.”

The world truly is your oyster.  If you can not suffer through five hours at a sitting, no worries, each class is recorded fully in video, audio, and pdf, so you will have these gems to use forever.

I am sure that I could find an affiliate link somewhere but I am not going to use one.  I urge ALL of my readers to take John’s Internet Marketing Juggenaut SEO course.  Your life will be changed forever.  By joining a little late you will not miss a thing because you will still get the complete program.

Oh, and he really does not flaunt the masters degrees, but I picked them off of one of his early sections “About me”.  He is as down to earth as they come and you will benefit greatly with this course.  Not sure what the price is right now, but it doesn’t matter this is one of those courses that REALLY IS worth thousands of dollars, not just some marketing BS.

On an unrelated topic, but one that I want my readers to know about, The University Kid, aka TUK, has a great blog in the mmo or IM field or as he calls it, How to Make Money at Home, and he is requesting guest posts for consideration to be published on his site.

Guest posts have some of the highest authority in the eyes of the search engines because they are considered peer blogs and you get to use your keyword anchor text as a link.  It doesn’t get any better than that.

A string of recent grizzly murders have been occurring in Angeles City, Philippine Islands.

Some of the victims were Filipino and some were Americans, a Brit and a Canadian.  Seems the murderer had something against ex-pats that retired to the Philippines.

Angeles City is near where the former U.S Clark Field airbase was located, and many American retirees live there.

The suspect was traced by police through his profile and photos on Facebook.

Mark Dizon is a 28 year old computer geek and gun nut.  Many photos of him are on the internet including some that show a silencer equipped 9 mm semi-auto pistol.

Read the full story on the AP wire services.

This just in from my friend Douglas who has been sleeping with one eye open.

Just like location, you just can’t beat good content.  The Google Meisters will tell you that if you have good content, that others will link to you.  Well, maybe.  But there is no doubt about it, if you have good content and it is interesting and helpful to the reader, then Google will shower you with blessings and you just might wiggle upward in the search results.

So if you have one or two blogs about something that really interests you, and that you have quite a bit of good knowledge to share, then the writing should come easy to you.  You either have it or you don’t.  If you can sit down and whip out an article real fast, say in five or ten minutes, and then give yourself a couple of minutes to go back and proof and correct your typos, then you are a really good writer.  Congratulations.

Now what if you are a niche marketer that publishes dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of websites humping products and services of all kinds, sort of like someone I know real well.  Then the writing becomes a little difficult at times.

So I am going to unleash three of my secret weapons for great content, of which you will thank me for profusely.  There is just no way that I can write dozens of articles a day, well not with all the other things I have to do.  So I am going to give you a recommendation from the bottom of my heart.

I employ many writers with varying degrees of proficiency and cost.  The very best one that I use and who has been writing for me going on three years now is Douglas at American Article Writer dot com.

Douglas is a retired American chemist that lives in the Philippine Islands permanently and with the cost of living as low as it is there the price that he is able to offer will amaze you.  In a way I hate to share this secret weapon, but he deserves some good publicity and I know you will be delighted with his work.  He can write on virtually any subject.

The second resource that I use for great content is my friend Rosie who offers awesome  Private Label Rights (PLR) content articles that you can rewrite slightly and use for your niche marketing websites or for parallel blogs that provide backlinks.

This type of content has been used by others previously and even though Google does not ‘punish’ you for using duplicate content, they also do not bother to give you any ranking points if the article has been published before.  So it is really easy to just reword some of the synonyms, change some sentences around, keep the same meaning and insert your keywords of choice to use as filler articles on your many blogs.

So as a get acquainted special Rosie will give you an absolutely free 12 pack of PLR articles on the Weight Loss niche.  Even if you do not have a weight loss blog you should download the free weight loss article pack and see the types of articles that she can provide for you.

Thirdly for great content articles we recommend that you hire a full time virtual assistant.  Check out the site at VirtualAssistant-Jobs.com and see the types of writers and content providers that you can find in the Philippines.

So no whining from now on about Blog SEO.  You have no excuses for not having great content, content, content.

Your site is running slow and this is a problem. You probably all know that one of the metrics in the latest Google iteration of search engine rankings, is how long does it take for your website or blog to open and be fully functional?

If your site is running slow, well then there is the possibility that the Big G will just go on to the next site and you get butkas for a speed load rating. This is not a good thing.

Many good sites around that will tell you how to tweak your site, speed up your image and media loads and many other ways to improve site loading.

We recommend using hubspot’s free tool at: http://websitegrader.com/ to test your site and even compare it against the competition and to receive a free report offering ways to improve your site.

What I want to tell you about is something that I have been experimenting with and am absolutely positive that it works, is free, takes no time and anyone can do it.

If you have niche sites that seem to be set up correctly, but for whatever reason, they only get say 10 or fewer visits per day, you will no doubt be scratching your head as to how to get them to load faster so that they will have a better serps value.

It’s a Catch 22 isn’t it?

Well in some cases the problem is your hosting company and I have tested it many times and proven that this method works. I suspect that if your site gets only a few visits per day, then the hosting company looks down their nose at you and they park your domain on an old piece of crap server that is slower than molasses in January.

I can just see it now, they keep a few old 286 or 386 XT computers over in the corner for idiots like us , who dare to try to enter into the SEO / SEM business. OK, that might be an exaggeration, but guaranteed this is going on at some level.

Here is what I do to overcome this problem. I set my browser start page to the slow running site. Now you will see this very obvious slow loading happening for a day or two or three, but soon you will notice that it is starting to open a little faster.

I believe that the hosting companies monitor this traffic and server load constantly and either manually or automatically move domains around on various servers dependent upon the amount of traffic the site is receiving.

Now I run four computers here most all the time. My main machine is a Windows box, have two laptops running Windows, and an old desktop running linux. Most all of them have two or three different browsers, like firefox, IE and Chrome. See where I am going here?

Set each browser to startup on a different one of your slower websites and soon you will be seeing much faster loads and hopefully improved attention from you know who.

Another benefit is that apparently Alexa does not keep track of IP addresses because over a week or two you will start to see your Alexa numbers drop. This is a good thing!
Go ahead, give it a try, the price is right.

You might have heard of the sales management company at Plimus.com.  I never had and thankfully so.

I have been a full time internet marketer for three years now and have been publishing free information before that since the early 1990′s and before the World Wide Web I was publishing data through Compuserve and even earlier dial-up services back as far as using a 300 baud modem and an Apple II computer. In the 1980′s.

Ok, so I am not exactly a newbie.

Thought I had seen it all, and heard it all, but evidently not.  I might have just run into the sleaziest, slimiest sales ripoff organization of all time, in my humble opinion.

Plimus handles the distribution of digital downloads for developers.  Similar to the way you can purchase things through ClickBank and others like eJunkie where you can make your payment with a credit card or PayPal and then gain immediate access to the digital download product, only there is one catch.

Plimus does not give you immediate download access.  First of all they do something that is totally irregular and in my opinion, unethical, in that in the product order form they ask for your telephone number, oh and it is mandatory.  Well that sucks.  I do not give my phone number out to ANYONE, certainly not to some internet marketing company.

Oh sure Slimus says that it is for security purposes and they will not share your number, BS, I say.  Even if they do not intentionally share your phone number, mistakes can easily happen.  How many horror stories have you heard of databases “accidentally” being released to the public?

OK, so I use a fake phone number in such a situation.  For one, I do no business on the phone.  If email is not good enough for you, then I do not want your business.  The telephone is the most interruptive and annoying device invented imho.

So instead of receiving the expected product after paying in full with a verified PayPal account, I received an email from these bottom feeders that said they were unable to reach me by phone and to please make sure I entered my telephone number correctly, oh and of course their email was a do-not-reply address.  Fortunately the form did have one line for a comment and I explained that I do not give out my phone number to ANYONE!

After a fairly long and annoying wait I received another email from them that said they were unable to process my order as they were not able to reach me by phone.  Fortunately number two, is that the very next message was from PayPal that said I had received a refund from Plimus of my $87.  WTF?

Now I have purchased hundreds of products online with very little problem and have never seen a company throw money away like that.  So started checking around on Google, you’ve heard of them right?  Seems I have company.

I found discussions on this very same company that follow pretty much in the same vein, and now I think I know why they do it.  Evidently as reported on some websites, Plimus charges the vendor a $15.00 fee for charge backs.  Any order that is not completed could generate an easy and quick fifteen bucks to these creeps, and best of all, they do not have to pay the affiliate advertiser their commission, as there was technically no sale.  How sweet is that deal, for Slimus that is.  Everyone else gets screwed.

Now to be fair to the affiliate advertiser that I purchased this product from, I have the highest regard for, and I have sent him an email explaining just what happened.  He is surely being cut out of the commission that he would have received for a successful sale.

I also know the developer and vendor of the product as he is on some forums that I participate in, and he is certainly a stand up guy.  I am saddened to think that he is missing out on sales and also for having to pay unwarranted transaction fees that are not his fault if that is the case.

You do not have to take just my word for it, here are some other sites where this company is revered in very low esteem.

OK, so I think you get the idea.  With a simple search you will find many more articles on other websites with the words, scam, ripoff, fraud, etc.  I would not say that but man Slimus sure comes to mind.

Caveat Emptor.
