Some fascinating discussion going on there. Thanks for sharing - Lisa

Your welcome, Buff, Lisa. I was wondering how interested others would be. I think that the content is ok, but really the main reason I did it was to help the 30DC community spirit. - Tim Brennan

You and Maria have done a nice job there Tim - thank you. - Isha (Marysia)

We were there nearly 3 and a half hours. Then Enzo & I stopped off at Liverpool Street Station and gassed further for another hour or so. A very enjoyable meet-up and I look forward to many more. - Isha (Marysia)

Here's some more info about this video - "5 of us had a meetup at the good old British Museum in London's West End. We chatted for 3 hours about all sorts related to the Thirty Day Challenge. The experience interesting and encouraging. Towards the end of the meetup, we decided to stage a bit of chat for the camera. I shot about 17 minutes which I've spit into 2 parts. As you can see the... more... - Tim Brennan

Despite the video camera being very close to the action, the audio it picked up was not good at all. It picked up loads of background hubbub which drowned out the conversation. The iRiver audio quality was twice as good. " - Tim Brennan

In case anyone's wondering where the 5th person is, Maria's holding the camera & a great job she's done too. - Isha (Marysia)

Nice video Tim. Looking forward to the next meet up. - Enzo Vullo

Great video and discussion. - Art Y.

I never knew there was a meet up in London. Would like to join you for the next one. Where do you post the info? I don't check FF much but will keep an eye out now. - MayC

There's no-one in charge of them. You just subscribe to the 30dc for London FF room http://friendfeed.com/rooms... and keep an eye out on the 30dc meetups forum http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/forums... Anyone can arrange a meetup whenever they want - Isha (Marysia)

also keep an eye on the meetup section of the forum - Tim Brennan

Well done Tim good video very helpful. - Ken Lee

Nice one, damn I wanted to come but I couldn't. Tim whens the next one? :) - Robertas Domarkas

Very nice of you let us eavesdrop. I wish there were enough of us around here to have a meet... (Helsinki area) - Juho Tunkelo

Thirty Day Challenge: Ritesh Lal

Why spend effort creating backlinks on web 2.0 sites like squidoo, hubpages etc. when they all have nofollow links? Why does 30DC recommend this? I understand that nofollow links are ignored by Google algorithms when deciding your ranking on the search results page. Thanks!

January 10 - Comment - Like - Share

Mario Mendoza, Michael Netsch, Ed Dale and 4 other people liked this

Three things. People follow links and it will be people, not google, that will be buying your stuff. Nofollow links are a Google thing, other search engines treat them as normal links, and getting as much traffic from as many places is a smart move. Lastly Google still indexes those links, it just doesn't pass on the authority juice. - Allison

Ya... what Allison said. Totally agree - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Makes sense. Thanks Allison for clearing that up! - Ritesh Lal

A lot of web 2 properties are as you say nofollow, but i've just created myu first quidoo lens and whne i view the sourse code of my page my links do not have nofollow added to them, thy are just plain html links the way i inputed them. Also there have been a number of test done on low competition where only nofollow links have made a site rank for the phase in question, so google does take them into account when ranking a page, probably just not as much. Jayen - Jayen from twhirl

Thank you everyone for bringing this issue up and explaining it. I haven't done the Squidoo and Hubpage thing yet. I was thinking of skipping it, but now that I understand how the links work I will put the time in for both Squidoo and Hubpage. - Edward Kimble

wow just noticed how many typos i had in my post, sorry guys i'm typing into twhirl and it's very difficult to review and correct. Just did My first hub pages page, the links in this case are definetly nofollow, it shows clearly in the sourse code, but still google will still take them into account as i said before, at the end of the day we just need to focus on getting lots of links, nofollow and PR are overrated. Jayen - Jayen from twhirl

I found an article that answers your question Ritesh Lal: http://seoservicespro.com/link-bu... - TrafficBug

No offence to the writer of that article but iIMHO it's a pretty rubish article, you'd do much better by going by the info already provided by members here. Jayen - Jayen from twhirl

I'd agree but this is where i first heard about it..lol - TrafficBug

Thanks for the link TrafficBug. Nice writeup there on nofollow links - Ritesh Lal

Both Squidoo and HubPages ARE dofollow, IF you follow their guidelines. You simply have to write some quality content that isn't filed with tons of links. - thefluffanutta

Thank you very much Buff! :) I designed it....It took me about 12 days to complete.

Many congratulations Elliot! That is a nice sales page & a great-sounding product. - Isha (Marysia)

Your product looks very awesome Elliot. :) Congrats! Would you mind sharing a bit about the process? Do you basically just make a product, set up a sales page and start marketing it right away? Or do you have need to have a main twitter website which you build up first, and then send visitors to your sales page? - Art Y.

Hi Art, are we talking about the process I took to make this product, or are we talking about the process inside The Twitter Technique?. let me know Art and ill get right back to u:) - Elliot Webb

I want to launch a product too, but I'm not sure if it's ok to start up with a sales pages straight away, or whether I need to build a website with traffic first, and then put up a sales page for them to go to... If I can just go straight into product creation and sales, that would be so convenient :) - Art Y.

Oh. I mean the process before you make the product. Like, in the TDC we learn to build up a niche site first, then put up affiliate links, and gradually get a lot of traffic first, then move on to product creation. But I was wondering if you could go into a niche, and immediately start with product creation (if you know what the ppl want already), and then put up a sales page right away without making a separate niche site - Art Y.

Sure Art, you can do it both ways, obviously if you have an established site traffic will be easier to come by, but even if you have just started you can put up a sales page and use PPC to drive traffic to it. Remember what Ed says in the 30DC, PPC is one of the quickest and most targeted ways to get traffic early, sure you have to pay for it, but if you do good keyword research you can find long tail keywords to add to your PPC Ad, that way you only pay around 10-25c a click. - Elliot Webb

I say if the keywords are right, and you know what your customers want, just go for it Art!!, if u need any PPC help let me know ok:) - Elliot Webb

Oic. Ok. Thanks Elliot! I've been wanting to make a product for so long, but my niche site failed miserably because the competition was too tough, so I couldn't use it as a pivot... I'll go directly to the sales page then :) - Art Y.

The only thing about a high competition niche is, if you do use PPC in that same niche your cost per click (CPC) is gonna be huge too, if you have Market Samurai Art check out the estimated adwords price in that first, this will just give you an idea of how much per click you will be paying. - Elliot Webb

Ok. It's not that the competition is high... it's quite low actually... but the thing is, the ppl at the top are extremely strong... and the keyword I'm targeting is strange... I won't rank for the long-tail keyword, but i'm ranking so easily for a short tailed one - Art Y.

Congratulations Elliot! We are proud of you too! - Buff Toast

Thanks Buff!!!:))) - Elliot Webb

Looks pretty good. I'm not buying, because of two facts. 1. On the video I can see that there's 200 followers, but you are following more people than that, which makes it look like the usual follow everybody and hope they follow back (I assume that you go into detail on how to find the right people to follow / target - not really the point). 2. There's no authority... I don't know you from a bar of soap, yet, there's no money back guarantee, so there's too much risk. Not meant to criticize, just my view. - Riaan

good lookin' sales page... let us know how it goes! - Jeremy Weiss

That a completely fair comment Riaan thanks for posting it, my argument to it is would you not want to follow potential customers back?, not only is it great feedback from your market, but you also get to see what they are talking about, maybe even possible product ideas to market to the in the future. And to be honest id rather be a shower cream than a bar of soap if you dont mind;). Good point about the guarantee, ill be looking into that;). Thanks Riaan - Elliot Webb

Sold my first report;))) - Elliot Webb

Fine, You can be a shower cream :) I'm with Ed Dale on this. If I follow everybody, it gets too noisy and I can't meaningfully interact with everybody. Thinking of creating niche specific accounts where I follow more people, but difficult to manage multiple accounts... Maybe use twirl for all niche accounts and tweetdeck only for main, dunno... Just not crazy about idea of following people to get them to follow back, That doesn't necessarily mean I'm right though. Congrats on the sale btw :) - Riaan

Congratulations Elliot on the sale! Very big day for you! *sniff sniff* Our little guy is all grown up now! - Michael Roberts

Brilliant work Elliot, so glad you are getting there, well done, you have taken a big step, we new you could :) congrats on the sale, you will have many more :)) - Tash

Congratulations on the sale! :) - Art Y.

Productivity seems to be the name of the game at the moment... I'm therefore hoping I'm on the money with my 30DC inspired venture. There's a bunch of free videos on productivity for one and all... (would love comments now it's open for business) http://the845club.com - Mark

Thanks Tim. Downloadedit and am now looking at it - Graham Hunt

Thanks for the link, Tim - TrafficBug

Thanks Tim! Downloaded it! I've never heard of this book before. Is it a famous one? But I'm sure it will provide an insightful read :) - Art Y.

It's sold over 1 million copies, but more importantly this system is brilliantly useful - Tim Brennan

Oic. Wow! I must read it tonight! - Art Y.

Been listening to the audio version. This is GREAT!!! New ideas on how to keep my workspace organized are always welcome :) - Jorge Blanco

Audio version has some parts left out, but is great to listen to while doing my "road work" as GH called it. http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/Boron... - Tim Brennan

I know, the audio is more like the youtube presentation. I get the feeling it needs some visual aids to fully understand it - Jorge Blanco

Today is a day of celebration. I made, not my first dollar online, but my first dollar through sales with the 30DC methodology. This (whooping) 30 bucks commission came just when faith and energy were starting to falter. As always, I tip my virtual hat for Ed and the 30DC team. Thank you all!

Just got my first sale and the comission was around $21 - wow. The product I'm promoting is just $15, so I checked it and the item was something completly different. It seems the buyer went on browsing until he found something else and bought it.

Now *that* kind of visitor response makes the lousy percentage on amazon affiliate look worth while. Congratulations June! - Isha (Marysia)

I Have A Question For All Users Of This Room !!

There is a wealth of information and helpful suggestions in this room. I would like to propose we start using a Hash(#) tagging in titles now that you can also edit titles. The reason is to make the room more searchable for all the great stuff here. Take a look at the APPS room http://friendfeed.com/rooms... at how they are doing it. I would like to keep it to 4or 5 tags only. What do you think? Tag suggestions? - Ron"micronet"Harwood

We could maybe get ED to put the ones we decide on in the header for everyone to use/follow - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Still thinking about the tags - excellent idea, thanks Ron :-) - Kim Baillie

Like your idea. Tags base on the 4 part of symphony. #market research, #traffic, #conversion, #product ... some o/r #seo, #web. - Buff Toast

@Buff I think that those Tags would be "spot on". I would shorten the first one though to be just #research. It just keeps adding one to a title short and sweet, But the room seems pretty slow or just no interest in this so far.We'll have to give it awhile and see :) It would just make doing a search for something sooo much easier.☼ So What do you say peeps? Yes? No? To much work, It sucks? - Ron"micronet"Harwood

@Ron, I am sure peeps will want tis. They could be thinking of tags ... or else, could it be they don't understand the Hash# concept? And I agree to keeping tags short. - Buff Toast

@Ron, how about tagging a thread of yours in this room as a demo? - Buff Toast

Here is an example of it in use http://friendfeed.com/e... - Ron"micronet"Harwood

If u r unsure of how it works, read the little para on Hash Tag. Tag and search concept can be applied in tis room too. http://resources.pathable.com/twitter... - Buff Toast

The way it works is pretty basic. Say you want to search this room for SEO related threads. You would put #seo in the search bar and all the titles that anyone tagged with #seo would be returned in the results.The reason this is helpful is because ppl use different terms to refer to the same subject which can make it harder to find what you may be looking for. Thus the reason for Hash tags # - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Excellent love it anyone new (or restarting) could then easily find all the info they require on a certain topic by using the # tag, before they become overwhelmed or tempted to give up - really great question thanks Ron. - Groobers

It would defiantly facilitate searching. Being this room is centered around the 30DC and to keep it relevant to marketing, the tags @Buff Toast suggested seem appropriate e.g. #research, #traffic, #conversion, #product #seo #web. I would suggest to keep it to 6 or 7 tags so it doesn't become to confusing. I am open for more suggestions though. - Ron"micronet"Harwood

#blog, #tool(eg flock, twhirl, Frienddeck) - Buff Toast

Thanks Buff I'll add them to the list :) - Ron"micronet"Harwood

How about interesting news and update links? #news ? - Art Y.

Since we can now edit FF posts, we can even go back and add the hash tags to our previous posts (as well as comments). - Isha (Marysia)

Have we decided on the #s? Let's start tagging. - Buff Toast

I also like the cool way he highlights & recaps the previous posts in the series (the yellow para). In fact I guess the earlier posts are the more interesting ones, since this post actually just summarizes what we're taught in-depth in the 30dc. - Isha (Marysia)

Now this is just an idea and I have not thought out any details yet, but just in case anyone is interested I have an offer to make. Do you find you just don’t have enough time to do all the things required for your blogs? Or do you want a photo to be more than just a plain photo in your store? I know there are a lot of free tools out there that...

I know there are a lot of free tools out there that can do the job for you, but do you have the time to mess around with photos to get just the look you want. I have photoshop software, am I good at it not brilliant but I would like more practice. So to the offer I am thinking I could maybe set up a friend feed room and if anyone would like me to have a go at creating a logo for them or jazzing up a photo for their store, I could have a go. I am not saying that I could create anything better than you but this will be a free service and you don’t have to use what I create but for me it would give me a chance to practice in a market that I am interested in. Anyway it was just an idea. - Groobers

Thanks Groobers for the generous offer-I'll think of you next time! - Inspired Writing Research

Sounds like a great idea! - Jen

Want something to practise on? I need an avatar/favicon for PopularDelusions.net. You can see the image I was using on my old HTML practice site on the home page. I was thinking of just using the P and the D, maybe nested, in a 100x100 image, in a similar old-fashioned "newspaper headline" font. Wanna play? Feel free to say, "bugger off!" 8-)) - LJF Wolffe

Thank You LJF I would love to play around with it, I will start on it tomorrow, as the girls are demanding my attention now, thank you so much for giving me the chance. - Groobers

Cool! Let me know when you're done -- and wherever I use it, you'll get the credit! 8-) - LJF Wolffe

Hey Groobers - excellent idea - I am in the process of overhauling my Scentsible Wellness site and I'd love to put a logo together but haven't done anything yet. As you know I love your creativity from what I've seen and if you want to help me with this I'd love it! We can discuss further at your convenience. - Elizabeth

Thank you Groobers :) - Art Y.

I will be in touch Elizabeth thanks for the support, I am off to create now or at least try. - Groobers

Sounds good. Let me know when you create a room would be very interested for logo. let me know what you need. - eMarketing Hubs - nat014

LJF I have had a go at your Avatar but was unsure how to show you the end result, as I have not had chance to set up anything for these attempts yet - so as you can see for now Groobers has become a Popular Delusion. Hope you like it just let me know if you want it, or you need me to try again. Cheers - Groobers

sounds of real interest - Tim

Tee hee hee! Nice display option. I'm worried that it won't show well as a smaller image (favicon). I was kinda thinking the D nested under/beside the P. I love the reflections, tho . . . could I get you to take one more try? - LJF Wolffe

Thanks Nathalie - will do but now I'm off for some lunch my stomach is making lots of very strange sounds. - Groobers

Sure thing LJF to be quite honest I did not have a clue what a favicon was, I thought it was a fancy name for avatar - what a duh head! - Groobers

Thanks Tim - now back to my belly - feed me . - Groobers

LJF - Avatar mark 2 - I promise Monday to get a room, and stop clogging up this feed. Cheers and have a fab and groovy week-end everyone. - Groobers

Ohhh, Goobers, that's GORGEOUS!!! I love it, I want it! We need to figure out how to transfer it -- maybe email? Lemme know! (You'll also need to know where I should link to when I brag about this -- and I will!) - LJF Wolffe

I am so glad you like it my friend I was a little nervous I can tell you - email is fine with me - what is the best way for me to get your email address? - Groobers

I'm at lfwolffe over on gmail (dot com). - LJF Wolffe

It should be on its way, time to switch off the PC, listen to some tunes or maybe even a podcast or two, then time for a well earned drinkypoo. - Groobers

Can you put links to the avatars into the new room Groobers (providing the peeps they are for agree of course)? - Isha (Marysia)

Heck, when the room is started, I'll put this one in myself, just ot brag. And when the FriendFeed room and the FaceBook pages for Popular Delusions are created, this'll be the avatar I use. All will contain credit links -- because the only payment I can give right now is word of mouth, and this'll speak for itself. 8-) - LJF Wolffe

Great job, Groobers! Now I want one too :-)) - Jen

Presto Chango - I'm back - it was nice to be a PD for a while - thanks LJF that was fun. - Groobers

Oh, good! You gave me a startle this morning -- I thought your post might have come from my new FF room! Very glad to have you back to being you . . . 8-)) - LJF Wolffe

A new FF room I'm off for a looksee... - Groobers

LJF I can not believe you did a blog post about me, you are truly a real friend, Thank You. (Would it be ok for me to join your room, it looks interesting (or would that be a little weird?) - Groobers

Would it be OK? Of course! It's a public room, after all, and the more the merrier! I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff ends up in there; I'm planning on tagging any resources I use to write posts. Come on in! 8-)) - LJF Wolffe

I'm packing up my troubles in my old kit bag and I will be over in a min thanks LJF - Groobers

did you set up a room? Would be interested for 2 logos. Thanks - eMarketing Hubs - nat014
