OVBlogger: Blogging and SEO

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So, I’m over with the Hexa Track guys checking out their new product Google Goggles. No, you can’t get it yet, but if you’re an AdWords buff like me… You’ll enjoy watching their video.

Go to

and opt in.

This new software will analyze your page and tell you what your quality scores will be at Google. Not only that, but it will show you what’s working and what’s not.

I’m interested because it will take the guesswork out of the whole time-consuming process. And, it’s a slow process, if you’re not a guru at this, which I’m certainly not. But it totally interests me and so, I’m still studying the art of AdWords.

I worked on “list building” for a while before we got all those keywords to have a “Great” quality score and for Google to give us cheap clicks because the lower your quality score, the more you’ll pay for them. So, it’s a lot of tweaking and testing until it suits the Google ghods’ fancy.

If you’re really smart at AdWords, you can do it much more quickly than me, but like I said, I ain’t no guru. I just think AdWords is totally fascinating and something that you really need to study to get it right.

We’ll see how expensive Google Goggles is and if I can afford it. But I totally want it already and they’ve only put one video out. I’m excited!  I was lucky enough to get in on Hexa Track before they shut down memberships, and it’s totally cool. So, I’m thinking this has to be awesome, as well.

And be sure to pick up the free .pdf. I’m off to read mine now. Ciao!

Do you know Deremiah?

Well… I met Deremiah in email one happy day. He’s on my list, you see, and he wrote to me asking, “What can I do for you?”

That’s like awesome! Usually it’s can you promote my whatever or what can I do for others. I don’t mind doing for others, not at all, and I try to help the people on my list whenever I can. They’re great!

But Deremiah comes to you with his generosity and caring, and he’s just a great person to know.

He called me on my birthday and gave me a “Stevie Wonder” style “Happy Birthday” song and just blew me away. (I told him he should be on American Idol.)

Well, he’s just a great guy, and he knows how to make people feel good about themselves, which is an awesome quality.

Wow… Where do the days go? It seems like I’ve been back to work for a month, and it’s only been five days.

Not that I don’t love every minute of what I do because it is tons of fun, but the weekends are even more fun because I get to do and investigate stuff of my own.

This weekend, I have to prepare for a call I’m doing for Erik Stafford. That will be fun. We really had a blast on the call he did for me this week. So, I’m looking forward to that. If you want to hear the replay of Erik’s call with me, just go to http://easyseotricks.com/Erik . I’ll post information about the call I’m doing for him here ASAP.

We also had a product launch at Overcome Everything this week, and unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know it’s Whack the Recession.  You can check that out at http://easyseotricks.com/whack Great product! Smart advice and from Tellman, Harris, and Shawn. (Who didn’t know that?) I had to get transcripts made last weekend for it, so I can tell you it’s A-#1, the Duke. If you’re struggling to make money online, you really need to check it out.

I remember what struggling was like. I thought I’d NEVER make a dime because I just kept trying and trying and nothing was happening. Then, I met Tellman and my life is very, very different from what it was like two years ago.

I remember last year at this time, too. I was doing some consulting for Overcome Everything and ran into a cool guy named Don Griffiths. I’m doing a deal with him next week, so keep your eyes peeled for that. He’s a smart guy and he’s made tons and tons of progress since last year. Why? Because he took ACTION and now his list is exploding!

That’s the word, you know–A-C-T-I-O-N.

If you buy a bunch of stuff and don’t read it, listen to it, or watch it, or if you do and just don’t do anything about it, what’s your deal? I mean, are you going to be successful at this?

Hell, no. You’ll never be successful at anything. You can’t win if you’re not even in the game!

Take action to make it happen. If you want some periodic ass kicking, then just sign up for my list. :-)  I totally want to work with you.

So, I’m off! Get your stuff in gear and you’ll come to see how much fun it is to make money in your jammies.

I love it! You will, too.

So, I could go into my Uncle Sal routine… My name’s Marcello, after all.

But I won’t. I’ll leave that to Sal.

What I can tell you is that I understand how the recession is affecting all of us. It sucks!

I can’t tell you how I feel when I hear them say, “Gas is only $3.73 a gallon!” And… what’s your point, right? Higher gas, higher food, and we’ve been watching it come at us, while the current administration kept saying that there was nothing wrong.

Yeah, right. Any idiot could see that things were declining. Hmm… Maybe that explains a lot, eh?

But I live in Florida. I can’t sell my house because it’s not worth the mortgage anymore. It’s lost 2/3 of its value. Luckily, I like where I am and can ride it out, but how many can’t?

How many of you are facing foreclosure because gas is eating your mortgage payment, but you can’t drive less because you need to get to a job that still doesn’t pay the bills?

Sucks.

I’m no different.

I’m trying to make a living online, and have been luckier than most.

And trust me, if I can conquer Internet Marketing, so can you. Want to know how?

Tellman, Shawn Casey, and Harris Fellman have come up with the answer. Totally. I’m on the inside. I know what the product is about. IT WILL WORK FOR YOU!

WHACK THE RECESSION!!!

Don’t take any more shit.

Whack that recession in the cajones and get back to a normal life.

You can do it!

Vacation is great, but payback, well… you know what they say.

So, we’re doing another launch at OE, which is always fun, but you know how launches go. Frantic city. So, a little of that, and…

Tonight, a Q&A call with my list and anyone who wants to be on my list. Show up at this link for now http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=3865080 , but get on board for news of the next one and replays. I don’t usually post links in my blog. I just rushed this one out so fast that I want to be sure everyone knows.

Then, tomorrow will be totally cool. I’m having “The Faster Webmaster,” Erik Stafford on a call with me. Erik has a really great site, where he lays out everything about getting an Internet Marketing business up and running in exquisite, highly-organized detail. If you’re just learning the IM stuff, you need to hear Erik’s call.

Register at http://Blogging4Boomers.com and I’ll send you all the information. It’s going to be great! Plus, Erik has a very cool surprise that he’s giving away. It’s totally worth the effort.

Next week, we’re turning the tables and Erik is interviewing me.  More details on that to follow, but it will be information packed, just as always. I think I’m a teacher at heart. Always loved the role. I actually taught writing for children for more than 5 years, so I guess it’s my thang. I love helping folks figure things out.

So, that’s it. Busy, busy couple of week. Stay tuned for more info.

And Thursday, Ayyyyyyyyyyyy… It’s Big Sal, the Tell, and Shawn. Should be interesting, eh? Wonder what’s up their muscle-Ts.

Will somebody please get Tellman out of that trunk? I’m concerned.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear… And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” –Frank Herbert, Dune

Fear is indeed the mind killer.

Is fear stopping you?

When I think back to when I was starting out online, I can say that I was afraid of certain things. I didn’t want people to think I was clueless, which I was. I didn’t dare to think about playing in the big leagues because those guys are so much smarter than me. And spend money? I was afraid to do that, too, because I was afraid to lose it.  And my business was going nowhere.

Yet, I thought that without any help or direction, I’d still be able to crack the code.

But it wasn’t a code I needed to crack. It was my own fear.

Are you like I was? Does the tech stuff freak you out? How about talking to people? Are you scared to make videos or to do teleseminars? How about blogging? Creep you out, too?

Well, guess what?

You need to be less afraid and more aggressive.  Fear will kill your dreams. Fear will stop you dead in your tracks and you will be paralyzed in one way or another. It can be fear of loss, or even fear of gain. Yep. T. Harv Eker says that if you’re afraid of wealth or if you think it’s bad, you’ll never have it. It’s that old fear sneaking up on you again.

Get it out of your mind.

Bravery is forcing yourself to do something you’re afraid to do.

Be brave. Make your Brave New World. Visualize it the way you want it to be and then, take steps to make that happen. You’ll be amazed at what you can do when you just overcome your biggest obstacle… you.

Vacations are great, aren’t they? I mean, you get some downtime. You do stuff you can’t do when you’re working, like take a nap in the middle of the day. Very sweet. I did that twice.

Vacations also good for reading. I love to read, and read at least two or three books at a time.

While I was off last week, I read a book for the second time. I don’t often do that. T. Harv Eker and Frank Herbert are two of the few authors I’ve reread over time. But I’ve just added Roy H. Williams to that short list when I reread his The Wizard of Ads. It’s an awesome book, and one that Tellman turned me on to.

In it, Williams talks about advertising, about getting under the surface to find the real stuff, and he teaches you in surreptitious ways. That sneaky guy. When he sells you something, you won’t even know it.  His series of autobiographical anecdotes are interesting and endearing. And, he’s fun. I really love that book.

You see, he doesn’t really talk much about the down and dirty of where to put your deck copy and how many bullets a long-copy sales letter should have; he shows you things in a way that you will remember. He tells you stories.

I had a comment about my “frivolous” style today, and I’ll agree that my style is a tad fanciful. I’m a little wackier than the average serious businessperson and I write some stuff the way I do because I’m slowly moving into that realm of life. Any story will do.

But aside from the now and then serious banter, rather than bore an audience, I’d prefer to be like Roy H. Williams. I like to have fun, and if you’re not having fun with me, well… you’re missing my point.

And that’s OK…

You may totally hate my style, think I’m a twit, and run far, far away. That’s cool. You aren’t one of my people. You don’t get me. And to tell the truth, I probably wouldn’t get you, either.

Oh, well.

But if you enjoy learning and not even noticing that you are, I’m suggesting here that you try The Wizard of Ads. Even if you don’t learn anything, I know you’ll enjoy it.

So, I’m like having a vacation week next week, at least from my regular job. It’s been 2 years since I took any time off at all. Unreal. I feel like an Internet Marketing automaton.

And two weeks ago, decided… This has to stop. Just for a while.

I wake up in the middle of the night and think: Lord, I never wrote back to the guy asking me to coach him. And then, I promised I’d promote this thing, that thing, and that other thing. Oh yeah, and the content has to be updated at Blogging4Boomers? (Like my new banner? I have absolutely no clue how to make it clickable. Help! Anyone.)

And so, worrying about such stuff when I should be sleeping means that Pat’s had enough for a few days–at least.

If you don’t see me, don’t worry. As the Governator once said, “I’ll be back!”
