How to Search all Craigslist Cities at Once

Filed under: how to — admin @ 10:36 am

No tool needed.  This is free!

Craigslist.org is set up so as to keep the buyers and the sellers in close proximity to each other in order to facilitate one on one connections, and to lessen the chances of fraud.  If you are selling or buying something you must log in with the city that you reside in or are that you are interested in.

They do not want you to be dealing with people in remote locations as there is no way to determine trust.  There is no voting system like on Ebay where you earn a trust score, so Craigslist wants to keep it local.

Now there is a way to: “Search all Craigslist Cities at Once”, using a specific Google search.

There are many specific websites that have been set up to allow you to search multiple Craigslist listings all at one time.  These tools no doubt work and the entrepreneurs that built those website tools are to be commended.

However it is very easy to do and requires no special online tool.  You already have just what you need and it is called Google.

Here is all you have to do is to enter the following in your Google search box:

site:craigslist.org [keyword]

Make sure there is no space between site: and craigslist, and make sure there is a space between: craigslist.org and the keyword.  You also can use part numbers or use boolean searches, or use quotes to narrow things down.

Then once you find what you are looking for you should contact the buyer or seller and explain that you do not live locally and make your fair and honest offering.

Thank you very much.

Have fun.

New SEO Tools: SERPS Checker and Backlinks Checker Free

Filed under: backlinks — admin @ 1:30 pm

OK, so if you are like me you obsess on your Search Engine Ranking Position (SERPS.)  Over the past three years I have developed a manual method to search Google by keyword.

First I would go to advanced search and set the number of returns to be 100 per page instead of 10 per page.  Then I would type in the keyword that I have been trying to rank for and do the search.  You end up with 100 search results and of course you are trying to see if you are in the top 10 or even the top 100.

So then I used to scroll down one by one until I found my own listing and count my position.  Well about a year or so ago I discovered a way to not have to actually count the returns.  When you locate your listing you hover your mouse pointer over the grayed out word: “cached” near the bottom of the listing, and in the very long string of totally non-nonsensical characters at the bottom of the screen you look for the [CD= number] and that will be your SERPS position number.

So I talked to several programmer friends and asked if a script could be written to do all of this automatically.  At first the answer was always, sure, no problem, but when I asked for an actual price quote to do this everyone decided that they did not want to do it.

I even asked a very well known internet marketer to help me develop it and we would share the profits.  Didn’t happen.  I have been doing some VA business with people in the Philippines and in India both, and had put out feelers to get a price for programming such a tool, and suddenly it appeared in front of me developed by I don’t know who.

All I do know is that this thing is very helpful and the best thing is that it is totally free to use.  You can sign up for a free account and use it as much as you like to check all of your SERPS.  They also have a backlink checker that will show you how many backlinks you have coming to any url.

The website is new as of December 3rd and I can not figure out who owns this site, but it matters not.  It works and works well.  There is a message on one screen that says they have a paid version that will keep continuous tracking of your requests and will send you an email on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.  The only thing is that link does not work and there is no indication as to why.

Perhaps it is just in the free beta version and the paid version will come along later.

So the site is http://easyseotracking.com/

Go there, check your SERPS and Backlinks.

Have fun!
Rich

Income Blogging Guide is Here

Filed under: blogging make money — admin @ 6:48 am

I met Andrew through a Blog post here on LinkMoney.org, first as a commenter and later as a correspondent.  I have come to know that he speaks honestly and he sincerely wants to help people achieve their online income goals.

During the creation of the Income Blogging Guide Membership Course, Andrew and Joel completed a poll on the number of ‘internet related’ products individuals had purchased.

You may not believe the results but 32% of those who responded had purchased over 20 ‘make money on the internet’ type products.

That’s almost 1 in 3 had purchased over 20 products.

One guy actually said, “I ticked the more than 20 box in the vote, only because there isn’t one that says more than 50!”

I’m sure he’s not alone.

Why do we buy so many make money online products?

Because they all promise some form of “overnight success”. You see the seller standing in front of the flashy cars and big mansions and you think, “I want some of that”.

However, the products they sell tend to be full of the same old theory. They grab your $97 and you never seen them again. And they certainly don’t care whether you benefited or even used the product. They take your cash and run.

You are then feeling all alone and if you were to shout ‘HELP!’ you certainly would not be heard. You have less in your wallet and a book. Well whoopee-do!

But I am telling you it’s different with Andrew & Joel. These are the first guys who have come out and said:

“Our course is NOT a silver bullet to making money on-line”

“Our course will NOT make you rich overnight”

BUT what they do say is:

“What our course does show you is how to build a solid on-line Internet business that will generate income for you on autopilot AND enable you to reduce your working hours so you get some freedom and time back into your life…but NOT overnight and with some hard work.”

That is quite refreshing, don’t you think?

They are being up front – in fact their sales letter will tell you how much they expect you to be earning after you finish the course and no it’s not anything like $10k. They are being open, honest and not keeping anything back.

I think that’s different to the normal hyped-up sales approach.

Joel and Andrew care about you and your business.

They won’t be running away as soon as you’ve put your credit card away…not with the bonuses they have on offer, at least.

And Joel is the blogging mentor to some of the world’s biggest and most famous bloggers. You cannot get better support than that.

If you’ve been looking for someone who cares about YOUR success, YOUR business, I thoroughly recommend you check out The Income Blogging Guide Membership Course. Here’s the link: Income Blogging Guide

(http://www.incomebloggingguide.com/stepbystep/ )

I can only recommend that you act now.

(The links within this post are not affiliate links. I am recommending this course not to earn any income but because I believe many of you will benefit from the step-by-step approach to making you own on-line business).
