in How to create a sales letter landing page with WordPress Thesis Theme on How To Make My Blog
I didn't knew that! Well for me I usually buy wordpress themes that are specifically designed as a sales page. So far it works well with sales and SEO rankings because search engines love wordpress..

@Melvin - Well, now you will only need Thesis theme if you follow my tutorial. And of course you still have WordPress as Thesis runs on WordPress.

Yes they do make money but are not a cash cow currently. I firmly believe however that this is going to change soon and is the main reason companies are willing to invest so much in so little stock of the company. There have been some finances leaked but they are certainly not making mounds of profits.

in How to keep your blog active while you are away on holiday on How To Make My Blog
Fortunately for me I think I do all the things you stated there. :) I learned that lesson way long ago. Before, I really used to leave my blog and thats even for close a month. I never cared about my visitors then and has never really done scheduling articles. Now I see the value of it and I think it pays to do those things...

Thanks for all comments!
@Shirley - Strange. As Gerald Weber I find Akismet to work perfectly. It caught some 250 spam comments while I was away, did not slip any spam, and did not put any real comment into spam.

in 15 Ways to Improve Your Writing Ability on Asher Awesome Blog | Make Money Online | Work From Home |
I think it depends on what you are writing and actually what field/audience you are actually writing to. But anyway it makes sense altogether. :)

Hi Melvin,
Thinking of the audience you are writing to is one very important key to improving writing ability. Thanks for pointing that out. A common mistake is to write with a lot of "I" in the article - usually, the articles that are more well received are articles with a significant difference between the use of "you" and "I".

in Writing a Call to Action in your Blog on John Cow dot COM
Great point. Most people kinda interchange the idea with long sales pages and blog post that persuades. Anyway I am subscribed to your opt-in, I have your ebook but I'll never click your sponsors..

I don't know that would be so quick to say that...
I was recently searching for a Wordpress theme and I knew that a few of my favorite blogs are advertising these, so I checked them out. The simple reason being there are sooo many places selling themes. Some are good, many are not. I expect that a reputable blog has reference to only quality products/services (in the authors opinion). So going to sites referenced by my favorite blogs is way to skim out most of the garbage and find the sites that actually offer some sort of value. This only works with a blog author that you have come to trust though. As we all know there are plenty of blogs that have no other interest but to push anything and everything, including the latest paid survey scam.
But there are a good handful of blogs that really aid a person in finding reliable info, products and services. I am subscribed, have the guide, read the posts and, if I need something you advertise, I'll check it out.
Cheers!

You can invite someone to be a guest blogger. I am sure many people would consider it an honor, an often the best experts are not as well known as they would like to be.

in Traffic, Subscribers and Backlinks From Guest Posting on John Cow dot COM
You hit it right. I mean most bloggers do a guest post w/o any link back to their blog other than the "this post is guest blogged by name(link)" ... It never gives anything and you won't be credited that much for it..

Yeah, but so many bloggers do not like you to link back to your own blog in your guest post. I know a lot of guest posts that I have submitted usually get rejected because of that reason. I think that if a blogger really wants someone to guest post they would not care. However, if a blogger is pressing the issue to get a guest post on another blog then they better make sure not to link back to their own blog unless the blogger says that it's ok.
