As an Internet marketer being able to get online is of paramount importance as it’s no good building an empire of websites and then not being able to reliably manage them.

People will spend hundreds of dollars on the latest piece of software to help them promote their online businesses but for some strange reason won’t spend a few extra dollars a month to get a decent Internet connection.  A poor Internet connection can cost you a lot of extra time and effort that could be better spent in your business.

I have a business Internet connection with a service level agreement that entitles me to swift technical support and any outage is guaranteed to be less than 24 hours.

Also my Broadband Usage isn’t capped so I’m in no danger of going over any arbitrary monthly limit.  My connection speed is fast, reliable and always on.

The difference between a cheap shared package and a dedicated business connection is usually only about $50 a month.  It therefore makes no sense to try and save pennies and as a consequence lose dollars.

There are many other places where it is perfectly safe to make economies but in this day and age having a poor Internet connection could cost you dearly particularly these days when the Internet moves so quickly.

So get yourself a decent connection and if necessary move Internet service provider to one who was going to give you guaranteed speed and availability.

The Importance Of A Good Internet Connection

Nichevertiser is an exciting new software product that makes monetizing parked domains easier. As Internet marketers we often buy domains intending to do something with them but never quite get around to it. These domains just sit with our registrar doing nothing.

They earn us not a single cent and come renewal time it’s always a difficult decision as to whether we renew or let them drop.

But what if there was an easy way to monetise these parked domains? A method that is quick, easy and almost totally automatic would you be interested?

Well I am. Anything I can do to reduce the cost of my domain portfolio has got to be a good thing particularly when it’s cheap!

Nichevertiser is inexpensive at $27 for a multi site license.

Nichevertiser will:

• Maintain latest listings
• Automatically create keyword tags
• Construct pages and maximize on page SEO
• Generates XML sitemaps
• Pings more than 150 services with RSS updates

The Good

1. Once set up Nichevertiser creates a good looking site with plenty of content pulled from Oodle.com.
2. Using Oodle means you comply with Adsense TOS
3. Google ads are well placed and targeted to your keywords
4. Built in Tweet this and Facebook like buttons
5. Content refreshed by server task so once set up it’s completely hands off
6. Inexpensive at $27 it’s great value for money

The Not So Good

1. Requires direct editing of PHP file to set Database / User / Password and other settings which is OK but requires some knowledge so the technically challenged may find it frustrating.
2. Requires the setting up of Cron jobs to automate the content refresh which can be confusing to the non technical
3. Building the content takes a long time the first time it’s run although it does now have a Drip function which speed things up,

Bottom Line

This is a nice little program that does exactly what it says it’ll do. It took me about an hour to set up my first site but I’m sure I could do it in less than 15 mins next time. If the installer did it all and there was no fiddling with the Setup.php file I’m sure installation could be trimmed to less than 10 mins. A guide to setting up Cron jobs on the most popular Web Hosts would have been useful although if you do a search there is no shortage of guides on-line that show you exactly what you need to do.

Take a look at this test site and see for yourself how easy it is to create a site with over 500 pages in less than 30 mins Schwinn Bicycles

Because everyone else is doing it I’ll off you the following bribe if you buy from my link.

Getting your tier two and three links indexed by the search engines can be a real pain in the butt  because you’re dealing with sometimes large numbers in the hundreds and sometimes thousands. The methods currently being used work after a fashion but lets face it the search engines are becoming wise to them and they don’t work as well as they used to.

Methods like mass pinging or creating an RSS feed of the links and submitting them to the RSS aggregator sites work but they are unreliable now that the method has been spammed to death by people trying to get thousands of profile links indexed (Xrumer, Sick Sumitter etc).

Another method that still works is the Link Driver you create a Blog(s) get them ranked and then drop the links you want indexed into a post. This works really well but if you want hundreds of links indexed in a short period of time creating the posts becomes a pain and the search engines will soon pick up on it because it’s not natural for a Blog to have so many outgoing links on a single post / Blog.

I’ve discovered a method of getting hundreds of links indexed in a short period of time that not only looks natural but the search engines actually expects there to be a massive number of outbound links on the site.

Google loves these sites and indexes them like crazy thereby finding your links, following them and all being well indexing them.

Is this technique a secret? Probably not and I’m sure lots of people are using it already but the point is the technique is not saturated yet and still works fantastically well in fact I’m supprised more people don’t use it.

However it does require some work in the early stages so the lazy should leave now  and buy from a different site where you’ll get the usual useless PLR bonuses that you’ll doenload but never have the time to utilise

The good news is once the system is set up you can drop the links you want indexed into it and forget about them. Usually within 24 hours (often much less) they’ll get indexed. Pretty cool isn’t it?

So my bribe to you for purchasing Nichevertiser through my link is:

• I’ll send you a link to a document that’ll detail what you need to do to get started with this technique
• I’ll explain why I believe this technique still works so well
• What you’ll need to do to get the best from it (yes it does require some work that’s why it’s still effective)

For the first 30 people who buy through my affiliate link I’ll also send you instructions on:

• A method I’ve developed to automate the entire process. You just set up the links and data then schedule a job to run on your desktop and you’re done.

In a nutshell if you want the usual boring free stuff that you’ll never use I’m sure you’ll find plenty of other people offering them and I thank you for taking the time to read this.

If however you want a great technique that still works like gang busters for getting your links easily and quickly indexed then purchase through my link and Email me your Clickbank receipt to info (@) internetmarketingdream.info and I’ll send you your bonus.

Nichevertiser Reviews – Domain Parking

I know, I know I should have put out an update on the whole Dan Raine Intern Program a lonnnnnggggg time ago but I’ve been busy and have just remembered.

So the bottom line is out of 20 possible places I didn’t get one All I can say was I did my best and I hope the competition was stiff! All that’s left now is seeing how the successful candidates got on.

Dan has said he may make a regular thing of his Intern Program so you never know maybe I’ll apply next time around.

Good luck to the successful candidates and I hope you all make shed loads of cash.

Regards,

The Dan Raine Intern Program – I failed

For those that don’t know RoboForm is a password manager that helps you manage all your on-line passwords (no surprise there). I used to use it in the past but abandoned it in favour of Keypass which is Open Source and therefore free

Now I love Keypass and in the past it has served me well but with the introduction of RoboForm V6 I thought I’d give it another try.

I’m glad I did as all the niggles from the earlier versions have been addressed and like Keypass you can now run it from a USB stick and move it from computer to computer.

Now I’m paranoid when it comes to security and although Robo Form encrypts your user Id’s and passwords using a variety of algorithms (DES, AES, Blowfish, 3DES and RC6) it’s source code is not available for peer review so it’s effectiveness is not really known.

I add another layer of security by using PGP Full Disk Encryption to encrypt the entire USB stick. This means I have to mount the USB stick first (pass phrase one) and then unlock RoboForm (pass phrase two.

If someone steals my USB stick first they have to brute force my PGP volume (my pass phrases are all over 20 characters in length and include special characters) then crack the RoboForm encryption.  Good luck with that unless you’re a security agency

Anyhoo it at least gives me a couple of days to change all my sensitive passwords before the stick is compromised (in reality it would probably never be cracked but why take the chance)

If you can’t afford PGP you could use TrueCrypt which is open source and does a similar job or if you can’t be bothered with full disk encryption and aren’t paranoid you could just rely on RoboForm.

I’ve also used Tcpview and Process Explorer and can see no evidence of RoboForm making any outbound connections.

So if you want a top notch (the best and easiest to use) password manager that has the following features:

• No more having to remember passwords
• Log into Websites (banking, social media, wordpress and many more)
• Strong encryption of user ids and passwords
• Fill in forms automatically
• Can be run off a USB stick (RoboForm2Go)
• Separate Identities
• Free 30 Day Trial

As Internet Marketers we need to store many different user ids and passwords and managing them can be a pain in the butt. Anything that makes that easier and saves time (and therefore money) has to be a worthwhile investment.

RoboForm The Best Password Manager?

The suspense is killing me! Dan has just Tweeted that he’s still short listing the Immediate Edge Intern Applications and will start informing people week beginning 16th August.

I’m reminded of the lyrics “If you’re not living on the Edge you’re taking up too much room” by Reverend and the Makers – Heavyweight Champion of the World. Well I’m not taking up much room at the moment

Oddly enough I’ve learned a lot just by applying and have discovered a weakness (shock – horror) that the application process has highlighted so even if not picked it’s been a worthwhile process.

I just hope I’ve done enough to show Dan I have the potential to be his intern.

I’ll keep you all informed of progress and good luck to the other applicants.

I’m On The Immediate Edge Of My Seat!

I love the way Scribd not only lets you embed content on your WordPress Blog but also it’s awesome ranking power particularly for low competition keywords.

As of this posts date and time it’s ranked at number 3 for the term “Dan Raine Intern”. It started at number one but then inevitably dropped below Dan’s Twitter posts (Damn).

I’m experimenting to see if this post helps it at all even though it’s a reciprocal link. Hey if you don’t test you never discover anything new right?

The trick now will bet to get it to stick and avoid the dreaded Google Dance. I’m firing a few backlinks at it but don’t want to appear spammy so I’m going slow.

I intend to do some more experiments with Scribd by embedding the documents in various posts and checking how they rank and stick over time. I’ll test reciprocal and one way linking and see if they both work.

I have a suspicion the embedded objects on a Blog may help the original document rank as per Youtube.

I’ll let you know the results in a couple of weeks so don’t forget to bookmark this Blog.

Scribd Rocks Don’t You Think Dan?

The deadline for Dain Raines Intern Program is fast approaching and it looks like a lot of people have applied.

Having reviewed as many of the videos as I could find on Youtube using “Dan Raine Intern” and “Immediate Edge Intern” as the search parameters the competition is fierce and a full day still remains.

It has been great fun seeing what other people have produced and it’s obvious a lot of talented people are applying (damn them!)

In closing I wish everyone who’s applied the best of British luck but if you’re reading this Dan pick me me me

Dain Raines Intern Program – Applications Closing Tomorrow

I’ll just come out and say it I love gadgets. All types of gadgets. The more expensive they are the more I want them. My long suffering wife just doesn’t understand this desire and is always trying to spoil my enjoyment by calling them a waste of money

I’m still trying to persuade her to let me buy an Ipad but so far her resistance is total (futile in the long term).

So what’s a guy to do. I’m trying to create the right impression with Dan Raine as he searches for his  Immediate Edge Intern and I don’t have one of the hottest gadgets to come out in many years the Ipad.

Damn – I suppose I’ll have to pretend I don’t actually want one because I have something better See for yourself and make up your own mind I think I make a fairly good case for Eggburt what do you think?

Eggburt – Dan Raine – The Intern – Who’ll Win?

Dan Rain and the cursed Immediate Edge Intern Program nearly ruined my marriage Well that’s not entirely true but it did introduce a little bit of friction.

You know what it’s like you have an important project to complete and you want it to be perfect. In my case it was a Youtube video that needed to be created as part of the Intern entry requirements.

You scurry around looking for all the tools you’ll need – Flip video camera check, tripod check chroma key background sheet missing!

CAROL (my wife) I bellowed where’s my chroma key background.

Your what she replies. You remember the huge muslin green sheet that I paid £44 ($60) for. The one you moaned a bucket about.

Dunno where it is you had it last she retorted.

Well it isn’t where I left it are you sure you haven’t seen it I really need it (by now I’m suspicious as I recall one of her massive clear outs last week) are you sure you haven’t chucked it out?

No I haven’t you find it.

Damn I can’t prove it but I know she’s given it away in one of those plastic bags that the charities leave out for you to fill with all your old clothes.

OK Bob don’t panic although I don’t have time to order a new one before the deadline their must be another way.

Well their was,  an old blanket that was a little bit short but did the job (sort of).

I’m still hacked off at Carol but have generously decided to forgive her

Dan Raine And How The Immediate Edge Intern Program Ruined My Life

The Immediate Edge Intern program is now open until Friday 30th July 2010. I’m applying for it after all if you’re not in it you can’t win it

I’ve completed all of the prerequisites and have uploaded my Youtube video as requested. I’m now looking for places to  embed it and remembered this ugly site I set up over a year ago.

I just left it to mature so to speak and think it may be time to add a little content. It’s only PR1 but the domain is now a year old so who knows I may start using it as a link driver.

I’ll post my progress on the internship on this Blog and hope I get beyond first base

Below is the video I submitted for your enjoyment. I believe I’d be an ideal intern so if your reading this Dan pick me me me lol
