Blind Ape Seo

So the old simian reads a certain small business blog quite regularly.

The guy is quite openly describing his experiences regarding his drop-shipping site and other ventures and has recently begun a series of posts explaining changes and improvements he is making to his shop in order to improve sales.

Some of the commenters pipe up and want to hear about SEO.

- cue cheap eastern kung fu movie music -

The blind ape enters the scene.

Writing the guy an email asking if he would like a guest post by yours truly about various SEO improvements that could be done.

He denies the offer politely.

OK. No bad feelings here, just a short WTF?

He denies a complete SEO Analysis, directions for improvement AND content for his blog at no cost other than a backlink in the article?

Can anyone explain this? Because this sight impaired old ape sure can’t.

After reading the latest article on domaining strategies, the simian sensei took one of his drafts and turned it into a case study on how to develop and sell a domain.

Go and read this perfectly noob-friendly domaining case study.

In this case study I walk you through every step of the domain selling process. From registering the domain to actually selling it. Costs and revenues are shown as well as things that went well and those that could have gone better.

Head on over to  domainingtips.com and read the newest article by Lord Brar on his domaining strategy .

A good read and a step by step tutorial for wannabe domainers.

This plugin for displaying future post dates on a sidebar calendar was exactly what I was looking for.

If you subscribe to the idea of batching work on your blogs, get and install it.
Simply removing the comment function “//” from the second line adds this to your dashboard overview as well.

The old simian is not in any way affiliated with them, but this is of concern for affiliate marketers in general. People reporting on the issue are being hit with Cease and Desist letters by clickbooth.

Well, it sure seems like clickbooth is stepping on quite a few toes.

Here we have some coverage of the whole drama:

The concept was nice and interest was piqued again when Rob announced that he was selling off one of his galaxies because he had lost interest. Having talked to Rob before, the blind ape started bugging him about a possible e-mail interview. Read more
