Learn SEO Search Engine Optimization

Posted in Google, Traffic Generation at 1:48 pm by a writer

Learning Search Engine Optimization (SEO definition) is critical to your websites success.  If you get naturally ranked in the Search Engines, you will have lots of traffic flow your way from the major engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.).  If you would like to learn all of the basics of SEO, we would highly recommended that you pick up a copy of Aaron Wall’s SEO Book prior or in the early stages of your site.  The book lays SEO out in simple terms, giving any reader the basics of SEO.

If you purchase a copy of the book, you get lifetime updates and other neat SEO tools on the website.

Thesis Wordpress Theme – Review

Posted in Blogging for Profit, General, Other Money Makers at 6:53 pm by a writer

Sorry for the absence, but future posts will make up for it, we promise!

We recently came across a theme for Wordpress called Thesis – If you have thought about using Wordpress or building a website you should start here (unless if you are a developer, who has a ton of time on your hands, then you are on your own).  The Thesis theme fills a void that is left between developers and casual Wordpress users who have a basic overview of HTML.  On one side you can be a developer and manipulate Wordpress to however you would like and on the other side if you are not, you are limited to the basic look and feels that developers create with their templates.  This is the first time that we have seen a theme fall into the middle – if you know basic HTML, you can tweak the attributes of the the theme in minutes to have the theme look and feel the way that you want it to.  Thesis is the predecessor to Cutline and we must say blows it and any other Wordpress themes that we have seen out of the water.  The secret behind the Thesis theme is the flexibility that is provided by using the OpenHooks plugin (which comes as part of download package).

Here is the Thesis theme homepage (where they offer discounts and coupons on These from time to time) and here is a quick overview that shows off some of its flexibility:

We want your thoughts – so leave some comments!

UPDATE – if you want a more standard template (where you do not have to make tweaks), we recommend Woo Themes.
