You Will Not Get Rich From This Blog

Updates Complete and All issues resolved!! I’m now on the path to SEO greatness! Or something close to it =P.

Update 3.6.2.Arrrggghh – So although the updates and downloads went well, I’m still having issues. My goal today was finally getting this blog updated to the current WP version and moving forward with my efforts for better SEO ( search engine optimization ). My current issue is with my previous site redirect, that connects philsfault.com to philsfault.com/blog1. I’m not going to explain it, primarily because I don’t quite understand it myself ( well, some things but not all the techy type stuff ). Basically, in order to keep the pages of this blog flowing smoothly, I had to change my permalinks ( individual page address’s ) to the WP default setting, which I’m pretty sure is very un-SEO friendly. So yeah, everything is loading and operating smoothly, but I took a few steps back today as well as a few steps forward ( isn’t that a song? )

Updating to WP 2.8.4 was easy and painless. Thanks to the “Wordpress Automatic Upgrade” plugin that I found while searching the WP Help Files. Everything was automatic and I didn’t even have to do my own back ups or delete anything. Very cool. I did have to upload the unzipped WAU file to Filezilla, but that was easy. Anyways, just quickly installed the “All SEO Pack” and now I’m off to play with that.
this post will self destruct in 24 hours

Today is the day I’ve been dreading all summer. Today is the day I finally update this blog to WP 2.8.4. If anyone has a WordPress Blog and has looked at the daunting task of deleting and backing up files in order to successfully and smoothly ( smoothly?? ) transition to the latest version of WP, then you know for us “not so techy” type folks it can look very intimidating. It does to me, and I kinda sorta know what I’m doing half the time.

So wish me luck and if things look weird, jumbled or if you see the occasional expletive flash across your screen, well you know whats going on. For sure I will be off line at some point today, lets hope it’s not for more than an hour or so.

When I’m back and all updated and stuff, I should have a lot of my issues resolved ( with my blog, not my life ) and finally get on the road to having a lean, mean, and fully SEOptimized blog machine.

Have a great day everyone.

As if I needed anything else to distract me from everything else I can’t possibly get to today. Three of my favorite Traffic Exchanges; Blue Surf, Royal Surf, and Traffic Witch, got together and created the “Elite Surf Club“. Now I’ve never really been a fan of other joint traffic exchange super surf or joint surf type promotions, but this one really excites me. Mainly because I’m already a member of all three, and mostly because I already surf these three exchanges quite often. So Yeah, I’m pretty darn jazzed!!

Right away I wanted to see what promotional tools were available and sure enough I wasn’t disappointed by the options ( notice I replaced GDI with EliteSurfClub in the side bar ). The first thing I did was set up my splash page ..Look Look Look. This is really going to tie in with two of my next posts / projects. Sort of, you’ll just have to pay attention to my updates, they will be huge ( and “f”ocused ).

So whats all this gibberish about? Instead of me ruining it by trying to over explain, I’ll just do some old fashion copy and paste. Saving my fingers from carpal tunnel ( wait, that’s “wrist”, not fingers ).

Here is the really cool part.

I’m working on a series of instructional videos for a post called “How to make a simple Splash Page”. I’m going to have several examples, from “basic” to “just below really awesome”. Pretty much, I’ll just be keeping things simple for you and show how easy it is. Splash Pages
are an absolute must when using Traffic Exchanges, and I think my videos are going to not only blow you away, but also increase your sales and conversions and make you think twice about using Traffic Exchanges every day.

So I want you guys to look forward to that post this week. I honestly want every person who visits this little blog to learn, grow and succeed. So please click the subscribe link at the bottom of this post and don’t be afraid to leave a comment, message or even twitter me.

Until next time, I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend.

P.S. I’ve made some major decisions this week. All centered around the “F” word.
( focus ). I’ll announce those soon. Don’t worry, it’s all good.

Daily Babble, Traffic Exchanges

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

Traffic Splash is having another “Splash the Cash” Day.

Hundreds of $$$ Up For Grabs Today! $10 prizes and much much more. If you don’t win $10, you could win $5 or $1 or credits, texts, banners or other prizes.

If your already a member of Traffic Splash, Awesome! If your not a member yet, today will be a GREAT day to get addicted to Traffic Splash. Join, add your favorite programs and affiliate links in the “My Websites” section, and start surfing.

Don’t forget to claim your “surf rewards” after your done surfing. Those text ads and banner credits are actually more valuable than your surf credits. When members click on these ads, it’s because they are interested ( curious ) in what you have to offer or are promoting. So get ‘em up!! In addition to claiming your “surf rewards”, your going to find a ton of link and banner credits while surfing ( $$ as well ). So pay attention to the prize pages. The Splash the Cash Days are always awesome.

OH and to make things even more intriguing for new members, I’ll make you a deal ( this one will keep me super busy ).

Okay, Going to bed now.
