Google’s goldmine - what can match it?

I’ve recently been reading up on a lot of adwords research for the few various projects that I have lined up. However it was Perry Marshall’s content that brought up something I had never thought about before.

There ain’t no GoogleRankSecrets

I woke up this morning to find an email sitting in my inbox titled “James I Can’t Believe It!”.
Curious, I opened the email and found that Darren Gaudry’s GoogleRankSecrets eBook was reduced to $37 for the next 48 hours ONLY. Oh yeah, it also included 8 other eBook bonuses.
I got sucked in real bad.

Is it just me or does Gawker make absolutely no sense to anyone but those that live in Manhattan? I’ve often skimmed through posts when its success has been outlined on other blogs, but it’s all Japanese to me. Its Reputation is no doubt outstanding and […]

ME TIME

As a uni student, I get to enjoy *sarcasm* public transport to and from university. It’s only in the past few months that I have realised that while public transport is slow and incovienent (sometimes), I actually enjoy it. I enjoy it because it gives me some ME TIME.

Why do blogs exist ?

My accounting lecturer one morning asked a question to the 400+ students that sat before him. It was a question that sparked a few brave souls to put up their hands and answer. So you can follow the story I had better tell you the question.
