Magento 1.3 Sales Tactics Cookbook Review
This is the third Magento book I have reviewed at this blog. The first book took a beginner through the basics of adding products to and running a Magento store and not much more. The second book was for Magento Developers interested in extending Magento’s functionality. So both of those books covered the “build it” part of running an online store with Magento. And this book covered the “and they will come” part of running your store.
A Few Updates to My Lists for Building Backlinks

I haven’t been posting for a couple weeks but I have been working on things. Here are some updates to my lists. There may still be some sites that don’t belong, but all are valid urls now. And they all have PageRank and Alexa Rank numbers now. The increase of sites in each is approximate since I really wasn’t paying attention:
- I added about 70 free blog hosts to my free blog host list
- I added about 300 bookmarking sites to my bookmarking site list
Yes, Virginia, SEO’s are Ruining Google

And here are some similar phrases that I put in the same basket:
- “We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality.”- George Bernard Shaw
Canonical Tag Flying Under the Radar?

This is a guest post by Craig Smith of Trinity Insight.
In early February of this year, search engine representatives within Google, Yahoo, and MSN (before it was Bing) made an announcement into a uniform method of embracing a new html tag to reduce duplicate content for a webmaster. This “canonical” tag, which would be inserted within the HEAD portion of any HTML document, is a great way to reduce potential negative affects that can happen when you have the same page indexed multiple times under a variety of URL’s
Building Links Through DoFollow Forum Signatures
I haven’t written a link building post in a while, because for the most part, I was off investigating other things. And getting way too complex. When I realized it’s the things I think are simple and run-of-the-mill that people really are looking to learn about. So as people ask me questions, I note them and try to write a post. I used to hate questions. Taking someone from “What’s a signature?” to viewing browser source in one sitting may be hard, but hopefully, it’s not impossible. Now I realize these questions are the master key to the type of traffic I want at this blog. So off we go.
The Inner Workings of the Twitter Machine
I am not quite sure why a made my last post a cliff hanger. To tell you the truth, I was running out of time and decided to just cut the post in two parts. The machine is rather simple and mine is geared to affiliate marketing, but I will explain it so that you can create one for just about any topic or industry.
Now I now there will be questions about spam whenever any sort of automation enters the conversation. Spam is how you cook it. This Twitter account I actually use. The automation is there because I don’t use it as often as I would want to. It picks up the slack when I am away.
