Increase Residual Income Using Chezfat’s Tips

If you want to increase your residual income by working smarter instead of harder, my buddy, Chezfat (or Brian, as his wife probably refers to him), has done us all a great service by offering some strategies based on his in-depth studies of the subject, and I wanted to pass this on to you.
Some friends [...]

Delete Your eHow Article Links After Moving to Another Site

Deleting the dead links to your eHow articles after you move them is IMPORTANT to keep eHow from unfairly competing with your moved articles if you want the relocated articles to rank well in search engines. One of eHow’s favorite tactics (and most unethical) is to compete against its own members. You can fight back.
When [...]

Social Bookmarking to Promote Your Articles

Social bookmarking really does work for promoting your articles. I learned this from a sharp eHow member “Write Now,” (Robin) several months ago, and have seen it consistently prove true over time.
I use Traffic Travis (a free download) to find out which social bookmarking sites, and which user-generated content sites rank highest for any given [...]

How to Build Residual Income with HubPages

Many people want to know whether HubPages links are do-follow or no-follow. The answer is that they can be either; it just depends on your status within the HubPages community. If you keep your HubScore (the score attached to your profile, not to individual hubs) above 74, your links will be do-followed. Your links will automatically be no-followed if your score falls below that.

Changes to eHow Earnings Algorithm?

Chezfat posted an informative article yesterday about his own recent earnings on eHow, and the difference he now sees in the earnings per-page-view rate. He has been carefully tracking and analyzing his earnings on several platforms over the past several months, and I consider him an authority in the area of optimizing articles and blog [...]

Collaborating With Other Writers is Powerful Stuff

Sounds nice, huh? Well, it is. But collaborating is no longer a nicety or a luxury. If you plan to grow your business by writing online, collaborating is now essential. The big sites are getting bigger, and you need to “get bigger” to compete. It’s like opening your coat when a mountain lion approaches you on a trail to scare it away. You’re not really bigger, you just look that way, thanks to collaborating with your coat.

4 Predictions for the Future of User-Generated Content Sites

3. This is a biggie. Search engines will begin ranking individual writers, rather than entire sites. I am pretty sure that Google already knows whether user ID “Herbs4U” on “XYZ Content Site” writes lame articles with spammy affiliate links, or whether they write timely, relevant alternative medicine articles…

The Content Writer is a Do-follow blog…with a catch.

Yesterday, I was reading an article about Google Wave’s cool features on 12Words, when I noticed the “Blog Comments and Spam Policy” posted by 12Words’ author, Chowdary. It reflected my own intentions so well, that I begged Chowdary for permission to plagiarize it, or at least paraphrase it (which is the same thing, unless you have permission), and he kindly agreed. So without further ado, if you plan to comment on Crunchy Data, The Content Writer, please read my “Comments and Spam Policy.”

SEO tips for content optimization: Do comments affect your articles’ SEO?

UPDATE: eHow comments are now indexed separately from your articles. So now the content that affects your article’s SEO the most on eHow (besides your article) is the Related Articles section and the titles of your last five articles, which are included with every article you write. This is a good reason to create separate IDs for each of your niches and choose related articles based on title keywords. Remember, you can’t go back and edit these on eHow after you save your draft or publish.

What is Linkbait?

Yesterday, as I quickly scanned my RSS Reader to make sure I wasn’t missing any interesting news during my busy day, one title intrigued me enough to click through: “Target Stores – An SEO Challenge.” Ian Lurie’s blog, “Conversation Marketing” is one of my favorites already, so that added to my interest. And I was not disappointed.
