This One Is For You Sherry Ann Oakes
Good old Monday rolling back again. For those of you that go out to work this seems to be the hardest day of the week, but for me it is one of the best because I get a break from running round after my three boys over the weekend, especially this one as my husband was away
So, Sherry Ann Oakes filled out the ‘I Want To Learn About’ box, a few days ago, when she signed up at IMMembership.com, with “anything you could possibly teach me would be so appreciated.!”
I was quite touched by this as only about 10% of people that sign up actually fill anything into this box and it is normally short like “how to build a link”, which I have already answered and elaborated on this week. Sherry Ann is obviously keen to learn and get started and almost certainly an action taker. Am I right Sherry Ann?
I have taken my time in deciding what I should teach Sherry Ann & I have decided to do a 30 day training to get a brand new site up and running including how to get traffic and sales. I know this has been done many times, but never for free and not in the way I am going to approach it.
The main problem that most people face when they get started online is that there is sooooo much information and sooooo much hype and tooooo many products that they are completely overwhelmed. No one seems to start something and see it through to the end. They are always leaving it half done and then moving onto the next big thing (launch). I just heard about a $197 offer that is completely ridiculous, because so much is included on so many different topics it is not going to help anyone. Even if someone actually took the time to read it all, they would be so overwhelmed they would not be able to do anything with any of it.
I know how it is and what you are going through because that was me last year. I had about 200 domains, none were finished completely and some did not even have anything on them apart from the godaddy parked page. I had accumulated about 350 gigabytes of articles, software and products that I gave up sorting them out because it was just taking up too much time. Finally in September 2008 (when the kids went back to school after their 2 month holiday) I sored myself out. I sold all my domains, bar 5 or so, got rid of all my hosting accounts, bar 1, and spent two weeks just sorting the ’stuff’ I had accumulated into some sort of order so that I could see what I had. In October I really got going. I created a system from the knowledge I had gained in my time online and built 2 websites at a time. One website I built following the system and the other I changed the system slightly. After two weeks I looked at my results and went with the system that was working the best. I then built 2 more sites and so on and so on, until now I have about 30 sites all making money. I also took one day a week ‘off work’ to learn something new. Personally I need brain food, but it is good to keep up with the news and what is going on in the world.
Some make more than others and I don’t want to go into how much I am earning, because it changes from month to month and I want you to know that you do have to work. If you are looking for a hands off solution to $100,000 a month then by all means buy the product selling it and follow it to the letter. When it doesn’t work how you thought it would you can come back and do my training
The training I am offering is for anyone that is willing to commit to themselves (you don’t need to commit to anyone else but you as you are doing this for you) that they will stick to it and see it through to the end. You have nothing to loose as it is not costing you anything.
I am going to get started probably Monday next week as I have some other posts already in mind for this week. Before I get going with it though, I will give you some guidelines so you can get ready …
- ALL the tools I will use for the training are FREE (I will assume that you have none to be sure everyone is on the same page)
- DO NOT Buy Any More Stuff - whatever it is you do not need it for this training (if you still want it once you have finished, please go ahead, it is your money)
- YOU MUST HAVE one domain name already registered with hosting set up ready for Day 1 (I will post some videos on how to do this before I start the training and it can be done in one day)
- This is my system. Exactly what I do myself when starting up a new site, just in 30 days rather than two weeks. We all have our own pace, so you can go quicker or slower, although I don’t recommend you do more than two days training per day.
I hope this is the kind of thing you were after Sherry Ann

Merry Christmas
I just wanted to wish those of you who celebrate it a very merry christmas.
I am Jewish, but we still have a tree and celebrate both christmas and chanukkah. I think it can sometimes be hard for kids to understand about religeon, especially when they are really young. Mine are 4, 3 and 11 months. They do not go to a Jewish school as we live in a small town in the south of France, although I am not sure I would send them even if there was one.
The big two have talked about nothng except father christmas and what they want him to bring them since they started this school term in November. They even told the checkout lady that they were getting swords and guns, but I explained to them that father christmas rung the parents before getting the presents to check if they were allowed to have them or not. I am quite strict about things like that.
I really believe that in this day and age it is important to shorten the differences between us, we are all made of the same. I tell my kids that we all look the same on the inside
So whatever you celebrate I hope you have some time of work and get to spend some quality time with your family.
On another note, I apologise if some of my links were not working, but when I changed hosts it seems that something got broken and I did not realise until this morning. All links should be working now, but if you find something is still broken, please let me know.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and I wish you and your family health and much prosperity for 2009 and beyond.
Does Having Lots Of DoFollow Links Mean Your Page Rank Could Be Penalized?
This seems to be an unanswered question dating back to the beginning of 2007 and before. Many people have talked about loosing page rank due to outgoing links in case they were paid links, but personally I have not been affected.
As of today this site is a page rank 3 and nothing has changed with regards to dofollow and nofollow in my links. At present only my recent comments are nofollow and this is only on the home page (index page).
As it is supposed to be better for you to have no dofollow links on your site except on your home page I thought I would try an experiment with one of my niche blog sites.
So I did everything I could except make my blogroll links nofollow. I did the normal thing and did a google search for an answer, but only got details on how to change files to allow you to tick a box for the links to be nofollow. I did not want to do that as apart from it being too time consuming it means changing the relevant file every time there is an upgrade and at the moment there seem to be quite a few.
My next stop was the plugin directory at wordpress.org and here, after ploughing through a bunch of completely irrelevant plugins I found the right one by a guy called Andrew Shell. You can read about the plugin directly on his blog (click on his name). It is a simple plugin that does the job perfectly, with no bells and whistles, which is to let you select which blogroll links you want to be nofollow.
So the next time you are searching google for how to do something in wordpress and the answer is not forthcoming, think about the wordpress plugin direcory as although there is a minefield of plugins, there is more than likely one that will do the job for you.
I did think about doing one post about my favourite plugins, but I have so many it is hard to choose my favourite, so at some point I will set up a category and write about each one as and when I find them.
What is your favourite wordpress plugin? If you could have a plugin made for you what would you want it to do? As always leave your comments below.
