How To Create A Niche Website Part 2

TweetShareTweetShare

Some 30 days ago, I shared with you how to create a niche website in less than one day. In that post, I showed you the exact steps on how I achieved this, by covering every aspect required, from the planning stage, keyword research, WordPress setup, up to the effective launch of the website. Back then, I also promised that I will be making an update of the experiment, as soon as one month has gone by. Today, I will be doing just that, give you an update of the project.

How To And Why Should You, Install WordPress In Your Computer

TweetShareTweetShare

I have always wanted to install a local WordPress copy on my PC and have been having a hard time doing it. Reason being is that I am not a tech savvy guy and most of the tools or tutorials available out there can be too complicated. I wanted an easy solution, one that does not fry my brains out, and if at all possible free, why not? Thanks to Lisa of 2ceateawebiste, my quest for searching the near to perfect solution has ended.

Speedlink V38/2011, Google Panda, Twitter Marketing, SEO And The Visionary

TweetShareTweetShare

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great and productive weekend. This week, as you may already know, the “world” lost one of the greatest names in history. A visionary, a creative genius and a great human being, Steve Jobs has in one way or another affected our lives. He certainly deserves all the wonderful reactions that was brought upon to him this week, and I am sure that he is now in a better place, RIP Steve. You will be remembered..

On a side note, Google has been busy again this week. Another Panda wave was unleashed, Google search data from webmaster tools is now integrated into analytics, and a small change in its PageRank URL lookup, caused a momentary panic and related services to fail.

Anyway, as usual, in no particular order:

TweetShareTweetShare

There’s a new wave of emerging businesses that are choosing to use their blogs to make money both online and off in their local areas. Could your blog be the key to an entirely untapped revenue stream from your local neighborhoods?

What is a semi-local business?

A semi-local business is one that offers a portion of its products or services virtually via the internet and another portion offline through traditional methods or word-of-mouth marketing. They are much less susceptible to risks involving say…Google Panda updates…as they typically have a more diversified income stream.

How can my blog be semi-local?

Whether you realize it or not, chances are you’re already close to having a semi-local business straight from your blog. Think about what you blog about. Is it internet marketing? Do you blog about graphic design or copywriting? Maybe you blog about making money online or weight loss? These are all very popular markets online, and those same people exist in the offline world
