So I have been away with problems with CJ (Commission Junction) but everything is now fine and up again so I’ll start posting reguarly again.

Have you heard of Odesk? http://www.odesk.com

It’s pretty much a place where you can outsource your work while having a record to keep track of your employees. It does something like record their screen every 10 minutes or so (I believe) allowing you to check on their progress. The rates there are pretty cheap but I personally never had a good feeling about outsourcing. I mean you’re pretty much giving away your niche and telling them exactly what to do that that has made you money.

Personally I have only outsourced once for 10 articles (not from Odesk) and 5/10 of the articles did not even pass Copyscape. Needless to say, I don’t really personally believe in outsourcing but if you do and are looking for a good cheap way to outsource while being able to track their progress, check out http://www.odesk.com.

Here’s a great article on the latest changes on Google’s algorithm. The rel=”nofollow” aspect of it more specifically. This is a must-read if you consider yourself a webmaster of any sort!

———————————————————

The nofollow attribute for links has evolved from a way to fight blogspam to a power SEO tool. But its days in that capacity may be numbered, according to Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Web Spam team.

When it was first launched in January 2005, the nofollow attribute was described as a tool for site owners to identify potentially untrusted external links, such as blog comments. The idea was that search engine crawlers would not follow that link, not count it in calculating PageRank of the destination page, and not count the anchor text when determining relevant keywords for that page.

It soon morphed into a way for site owners to identify paid links. Proper use of the nofollow attribute was unclear, and Google tried several times to clarify the use of nofollow.

By 2007, advanced SEOs realized that the nofollow attribute could be used internally in PageRank sculpting. Using that process, the nofollow attribute is added to links to certain pages to prevent PageRank from flowing to those pages. The way it used to work, the PageRank that was saved from those links would be distributed among the other links on the page.

Here is where Google has changed the way it handles the nofollow attribute, according to Cutts.

This week at the SMX Advanced conference in Seattle, Cutts joined the discussion around nofollow during the duplicate content session. According to Outspoken Media’s Lisa Barone:

A debate broke out mid-session when Matt Cutts got involved about whether or not nofollow is still effective. Of course, as soon as it got hot, all search representatives got very tight lipped about who said what and what they really meant. As far as I could, Matt Cutts did NOT say that they ignore nofollow, but he DID hint that it is less effective today than it used to be.

Later, Cutts addressed the issue again in his You&A keynote. When asked about PageRank sculpting, Cutts said that it will still work, but not as well.

Basically, using nofollow will still prevent PageRank from passing from the linking page through the nofollowed link. But that PageRank is no longer “saved” to be used by other links on the page. It just “evaporates,” according to Cutts. Rand Fishkin at SEOmoz has some visual aids to help describe the process.

This change mainly affects those SEOs that have tried to optimize their pages using the nofollow tag for PageRank sculpting. It’s safe to say that most site owners have no idea what PageRank sculpting is, which is probable a good thing, since it can quite easily be done wrong and cause more problems than it solves.

A bigger problem arises for those who are using it for its original intention, blocking comment spam. Under the new rules, a blog post that allows URLs in comments will lose most of its “link juice,” since there will be many links on the page using up PageRank, but not passing it on. If there are two links in the post, and 98 links in the comments, the links within the article will be devalued, passing only 1/100th of the PageRank, instead of the 1/2 they used to pass.

Google has said all along that the benefits of PageRank sculpting may not be worth the time involved to do it. Cutts wrote on his blog last year, “if you design your information and site architecture well, it’s not something that you need to worry about at all…there’s an opportunity cost to sculpting and that the vast majority of people would get more benefit from spending their time working on making their site more compelling (so they got more links/PageRank) rather than obsessing about how to move around the PageRank that they have.”

So there you have it. As Cutts himself Twittered this morning: “Hey, did you hear our latest inside tip? Make relevant content. ;)”

- Article From SearchEngineWatch

Yep, you heard it here folks, the CB Quantuom by “DayJob Killer” and Andrew Fox completely blows. No this is not a marketing ploy that is trying to steal your attention by saying it’s a scam and then telling you that it’s actually pretty decent and that you should buy it. I’m saying it here and again, the Clickbank Quantum is such so bad and such a ripoff that it might as well be considered a scam.

**Random Note: Save Your Money And Buy A Backlink Tool Like Wordpress Commenter Instead =)

This is not a “CB Quantum review”, I am simply stating the truth and hope I help save a few poor fellow’s money. For $997, Clickbank Q. is well, a laughable product. I mean if you don’t know what it is yet, take a look at it below (not an affiliate link)

Website: http://cbquantum.com

Don’t get me wrong, the sales page is well designed and all but it is simply not worth your $997. For $997, all you get is 2 info products that you get resale rights to, “Affiliate X” and “Adwords Magic”. They call it the “Clickbank Business In A Box”. It sounds great, sounds like money on autopilot… if you’re an idiot and actually believe such that crap. No, I don’t mean making money on autopilot is fake, what I mean is if you believe that they’re giving you 2 products that’s supposedly made them over $500,000 and that you can actually resell them for tons of money (on autopilot), then you’re an idiot.

They’re giving the EXACT SAME 2 PRODUCTS to everyone who purchases CB Quantum and you think you can actually compete with all of them and make money on an old product? Ha.

The whole thing about CB Quantum is about resale rights. They say you can make tons of money off resale rights and they show you how much they’ve made with it (in the six figures). Now I have no doubt they have but the thing is that they’ve PURPOSELY FORGOT to mention 2 key items.

The 2 Key Items

1. You can only make good money off resale rights IF the original seller is a bad marketer and can’t get any sales for himself. The product would need to have been so badly advertised that no one has ever heard of it for you to stand a chance of competing with the original owner.

You would also need to outrank the original site for name of the product on the search engines (esp Google) which is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE* else you’re just promoting the product for the original owner. Imagine this: You get the product name out there and he gets the sales cause of the search engines. Sounds fair?

*Exceptions Apply

2. They’ve made so much money off of resale rights because THEY HAVE A HUGE DOUBLE OPT-IN EMAIL LIST. Now let me say that again “They’ve made so much money off of resale rights because THEY HAVE A HUGE DOUBLE OPT-IN EMAIL LIST“. Got it in your head? Good.

They make it sound so easy to promote your “second tier” resale rights product. That’s what I call it, a resale rights product sold by another person, “second tier”.

I mean, of course it’s easy for them to sell something when they have a list of thousands interested in what they’re going to sell. But the question here is do you? Do you have your own list of thousands of double opted-in subscribers ready to take out their credit card and spend it on an info product? If you do, please go ahead and buy CB Quantum and forget everything I’ve said so far. Else if you don’t, just save your thousand dollars and spend it on something else!

It’s easy for them cause all they have to do it set up a landing page, send out an email saying “blahblahblah, you must check it out! Also comes with these free bonuses worth over $1,000,000 (REAL VALUE)”. There, they’ve made sales. Now how will you make sales? Even if you got free bonuses and everything, how will you get your word out? PPC? You’re competing with everyone else that has the sale product with resale rights competing with you, don’t expect much of a return or any at all.

To find the real product value of these “Free Bonuses” by gurus, simply divide what they tell you it’s real value is, and divide it by around 465,073. There, that’s the real value of those “free crap” they’re giving you. If they say it’s worth $200, just divide 200 by 465,073 and you’ll get it’s real value aka shit, it’s worth shit*. If it’s even of any worth, you know for sure they’ll try to sell it to you some way or another. So another rule of the gurus you should understand -

If they’re not selling it to you, it’s worth crap cause you know they always try to sell you something.

I guess that’s about it for key #2, wow what a long explanation.

*Disclaimer: Exceptions Apply, Some Bonuses Are Actually Worth Something

Conclusion

CB Quantum is all about resale rights and if you don’t have the 2 key items above, don’t bother purchasing it. Now I just want to say some things to clarify some points and to talk about points I’ve missed.

1. I just want to say this disclaimer that CB Quantum DOES have more to it than the 2 info products and the videos talking about “how to get resale rights product”, “how to buy a domain name”, “how to set up web hosting”, “how to joint venture with other people” and some other laughable videos. The other stuff that Clickbank Q. however are all still related to resale rights so they’re pretty much useless too.

2. For $997, CB Quantum is a scam (to me at least). Read #3.

3. There are much much better info products out there that will actually help you make money for MUCH less. For example, one of my personal favorites – Commission Blueprint. It’s a best selling product and with good reasons too. You can now try it and download everything for only $5! Go check it out, there’s not much to lose plus you’ll love it (I guarantee it).

4. For $97, you can get a “blackhat” backlink building tool that will actually boost your site’s rankings and daily visitors. Check it out at http://www.WordpressCommenter.com. I highly recommend this tool.

5. Get both the Commission Blueprint and WP Commenter Script and use the rest of the money you’ve saved from not buying CB Quantum on a Father’s Day gift for yourself or your father. You know you or your dad deserves it =)

Final Conclusion

Please note that I am not a hater of the “DayJob Killer” and/or Andrew Fox, I simply do not like this new product of theirs. I have nothing against them or anything and this is not a bias review. The products that I’ve recommended are truthfully and honestly recommended by me. I’ve used them both and still use WP Commenter til this day.

Other Note: I am probably going to spend some money on Adwords to get the word out about “CB Quantum” so it’d help if you guys bought the 2 recommended products (if you’re going to buy them) from my links on this page. That’ll help me offset the cost from Adwords.

That’s all I have to say I guess. Help me get the word out about CB Quantum being a scam by writing about this post and dropping me a link on your blog(s), I’d appreciate it.

Final Conclusion:

Scam: Clickbank Quantum by DayJob Killer and Andrew Fox
Rated Value of CB Quantum: $147
Recommended #1: Commission Blueprint
Recommended #2: Wordpress Commenter

Alright so we all know that article marketing is still quite effective for sales and backlinking especially. Now the problem is wondering which sites to submit your articles to?

Well here’s my top ten list of sites to submit articles to in no particular order.

1. http://www.goarticles.com/ – (PR 5)

2. http://www.ezinearticles.com/ – (PR 6)

3. http://www.bukisa.com/ – (PR 4)

4. http://www.buzzle.com/ – (PR 5)

5. http://www.articledashboard.com/ – (PR 5)

6. http://www.associatedcontent.com/ – (PR 6)

7. http://www.helium.com/ – (PR 6)

8. http://www.constant-content.com/ – (PR 5)

9. Okay I got No More

10. Honestly!

#7 and #8 provided by SpikeTheLobster / Scrawl Bug

Yep well I honestly only got six article directories that I submit my articles to. However they’re all PR4+ and you can even earn money with some of them! Three of them to be exact… Bukisa, Associated Content and ArticleDashBoard.

If anyone else got any article directories they’d like to recommend, let me know below! I’ll add the sites on #7-#10 and give you credit for it along with a backlink to your site on this page. Do-follow of course.

Sike! Well… actually not really. There was recently someone selling the secret (for like $15) to getting a free PR10 to blow your competitions out of the water and well, I got it so I’m sharing it here!

I don’t actually believe it works but it takes only a minute so there’s not really anything to lose – try it yourself.

http://www.google.com/profiles

Yep, a backlink from Google itself. I’m quite skeptical of this of course but I am skeptical of everything so… ya… let me know what you think!

There’s actually 2 ways to put your links there and if this is a loophole (I doubt it), Google will close it soon.

There might actually be a few great ways to make money online with this… I’m gonna go test it, lemme know what you guys think about this below.

So I know there’s been a lot of talk on Squidoo a while ago, never really got into it but I’ve finally took a dive at the Squidoo bandwagon. Squidoo is extremely simple to use and I must say, the results were much better than expected.

I have one lens that’s making 4 digits a month. If you know Squidoo is, you’d probably think that this lens is in the top 100 but nope, it’s not. It’s not even in the top 1000 lens. In fact it’s ranking in the low 4 digits with around only 300 uniques/week.

Now I’m not saying everyone will have or already have the same type of earnings I do. I’m sure there are many lens in the top 100 that aren’t even bringing in half the amount I am from this one lens of mine but Squidoo is still a great place to start earning.

Get $1.99 .com domains from Godaddy for a limited time only when you use the coupon code

“199DOMAIN”

I’ve just tested and bought a new domain myself. Including the ICANN fees, it comes out to a total of only $2.19 for a brand new .com domain which is a steal!

The only problem is that they only allow credit cards or check as the payment option when you use this coupon code.

Well that’s all, I’ll try to post more often again – I swear!

One of the best ways of getting high search engine rankings and visitors to your websites is with backlinks. Honestly, doing backlinks has always been a tedious task for me and probably many other people which is probably why there are so many SEO firms out there.

Now there’s a new script that will get you thousands of backlinks automatically for you over time and even avoid the “sandbox”. The Wordpress Commenter.

It’s not free by any means but I do believe it is quite a good investment for anyone who owns a website or even sell affiliate products. It posts your comments to thousands of Wordpress blogs for you. There are many different ways you can use it to earn money or increase your search engine rankings.

Well today something interesting happened, I was contacted by Marco Lomeli who’s an account/affiliate manager over at FluxAds.

Well, normally one would be thrilled to be contacted to go join a network such as Flux but however…

Well I’ve been scratching my head for the past 2 months now on why I had a PR drop from 2 to 1 when I thought EndlessCorner was going to get raised to PR 3. Then 2 days ago, it hit me.

It was SO obvious…
