Hi Jesse, what a ride:) Haven't made my first dollar yet but have learned a ton of stuff to keep using! I encourage everyone to keep connected. Some of us all going to form a team to take the 30 day challenge over in Sept. Come join us if you want, will be making a post in the forum on it shortly.
- Curtis Miller
Sounds good - right now I am working on making some DVDs of the 30DC video training so I can watch them on TV - if anyone is interested I can mail them for cost of postage when I have of them finished.
- Jesse Seymour
Jesse if you didn't don't feel bad. The majority of TDC don't. But the process is what is important and what was taught...Oh I didn't either..

You copy the document into a mircorsoft word doc then you click on your table and then a tool bar should pop up at the very top with several pictures on it the first one looks like a mountain with a sun. On that tool bar the 7th icon over from the left next to the small sun is the one you want to click on that then go up to the upper left hand corner of your table and drag it diagonally...

Hi Nancy...It really depends on what you are selling...Ebooks I would go with Clickbank because your commission structure is so much better 50 - 70% vs Amazon which is anywhere from 5 to 15%. But you can find expensive items to promote on Amazon that will make you a tidy sum..
- jim sainsbury
Jim is right Nancy but we are in the testing phase of our keyword so either would work at this point. Jim are we just looking at click traffic or sales or both? In other words we are testing to see if this is a market to stay in or move on?
- Curtis Miller
Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with amazon because the product choices on clickbank were just awful! I am having trouble putting something on my site that I don't think is good quality. Is it just me?
- Nancy Nigh
Forgot to mention Dan is doing the tv show on sunday and would be a good time to get your MS SEO competion page gone over by him and everyone on the show
- Curtis Miller
I know how to do a screen shot but then I don't know what to do in order to send it in. Do I upload to flickr, and where do I send it?
- Shauna
Yes you can upload it to Flickr and I believe when they have a live show send the url to them at the question url they give us in chat

Hi guys, way behind. Had troubles with Samurai, then troubles selecting a niche, now I'm waiting on HostGator B4 I can finalise Blog with Wordpressdirect. Hope this slows down soon. Guess that's why it's call 30D CHALLENGE
Me, too. I have given up on keyword research and am going to focus on a product I already have that has coverted quite well. I breezed through about 3 days of lessons last night...thankfully I already knew about articles, affiliate markets, etc. I just wish I could find an appropriate theme in WPdirect!
- Susan Whitehead
Susan if you have any experience with installing wp on your own server you can type your keyword into google and find a wp press theme to install in wp if you have it hosted on your own server. That is what I did to get a more keyword wp theme.
- Curtis Miller
also i found that the search box at the top right of WPD searches themes too. so try related words in there :)

I finally got caught up today around 2:00 mdt and I was exhausted. So I left my computer and didn't look back until now 7:42. I did a google search and I was listed on the first page for Digg.
Now I know I might not rate very highly in the scheme of life and the population but NEVER have I been called a no one. I quite enjoyed those intros
- Peter Horsman
from twhirl
It may be your own fault. I think that in the pre-season the main video(s) and the "pre-video" were the same. You trained us too well. That's the only explanation since we pretty much hang on every gratis word descending from your larynx:-)
- Vanessa Constanti
Maybe the problem is you are not getting enough attention. Well maybe Sunday night when you are the trash chat master you can show us a thing or two. I love your intros. And I am now especially careful of dangerous gaits.
- Susan Kaul
from twhirl
I got started with the 30DC soooo late that I am still trying to figure out how to do things and complete all the per season lessons before going on th the actual challenge. OH I do wish I had more time in the day. Anyway I am loving it and learning so much. THANKS to all.
- Phil
As I am not wanting to miss anything, I do watch each of the intro videos!
- Bernadette
Don't worry Ed, I still care. LOL! My team watches it, I can tell you. They all notice you don't change your clothes for 7 days now....
- Hendry Lee
from twhirl
keep up the intro vid's Ed - and increase the danger level!!!
- Mike Talbot
from twhirl
Talk about moving the free line Ed. ;-P
- Mike Hill
from twhirl
Been watching faithfully - might have a look at Olympics ceremony- probably not- just watch day seven again on second thoughts. Can't wait for the next emu attack - all v ninja
- Rebecca Kellock
even my 5 month yr old son is watching them- it's very educational
- Tommy Gordon
from twhirl
Television requires more drama to keep the audience. a Crocodile or 2 attacking would help
- 8seonds
Well people are missing out if they don't watch them, very educational and entertaining!
- Curtis Miller
Maybe i'll go back and watch them all later
- Matt Leitch
I've only just finished Day Two, but I'm loving the videos...as a "Yank" I love listening to the Ed, Bob, and Dan....and seeing the kangaroos! :)
- Rebekah
They are the only thing I can watch until 1:00 am download hour on my satellite connection. So you have gotten offended too quickly. Love them--the gate was almost slapstick lol
- Omitade Adediran
I love the intro's. I was really sorry to hear about the gate smaking into your ^@%#$@^#
- Ian
My favorite one is when an Emu look at Ed while crossing the screen... :)
- Hendry Lee
from twhirl
I watch them, they're great, but I click within the training page itself and it doesn't give me the option to rate...
- Yvonne Hands
Don't feel sad Ed. I've been watching you in your natural habitat as well.
- ChrisDudman
I thought It was the same old movie @ every training, silly me. Ill watch them from now on
- ZoekmachineGuru
from twhirl
don't worry Ed! I'm watching them! They're great. i particularly like the fact your using the rule of thirds - camera techniques. As a film & TV media student, this makes me happy.
- Glenn Mason
I have 7 micro niches all within a niche. Do I need a landing page for each micro niche's keyword phrase, or can I have them all on one site under different catagories?
Roy, here's what I'm doing... I have a niche market with a whole pile of qualified keywords. I am regestering a domain name for the easiest one to rank for as per the SEO competition scale. Since these are all related, I will then go back and create sub-domains later on. Although, since this is using a blog platform you could essentially just setup one blog and create seperate pages for each keyword on the blog... (Second thought, that's what I'll probably do... setup different pages on one blog)
- Mike Hill
from twhirl
@Mike Hill Can I do this with an Amazon Affiliate aStore?
- Roy Gould
Roy the answer to that prolly lies in how much if any upfront money you want to put out as far as buying domain names for each one. Now from what I know,someone please correct me if this has changed, Google views subdomains as a domain in its own right. So if you use the free hosting on one of wordpress directs sites you could have a different blog for each one.
- Curtis Miller
Roy now that I have seen the software I would create one site with your very best keyword (most promising) and then create pages/categories for the remaining keywords you have that qualify...
- Mike Hill
from twhirl
Roy that is exactly my plan, luckily most of my micro-niche phrases contain my main phrase, massive lsi and siloing potential this way. That is why I will be using pages and categories.
- Mark Myers
Thank you I want to try and be circumspect because I want to protect my keyword phrases. Let's just say that I am offering a form of media. I have keyword phrases that pertain to different titles within the same genre.So, for instance, would I use the genre keyword phrase for a WP blog with affiliate links to the product in Amazon? Or would I link to my aStore? What about the other 6 distinct keyword phrases that fall under the genre heading.? How do I exploit those without giving them each a separate page?
- Roy Gould
You could use a Silo Structure for the main phrases and sub-phrases. There are plugins for wordpress that build a silo for you automatically. You could do it yourself using categories and setting up a URL structure that uses the category in the URL (also a plugin in wordpress).
- Craig Eubanks
The video says you have your main phrase at the top of the list of all keywords for the site. Obviously, each post you add will be in one category, so that will take care of that...
- Frann Leach
Craig what is the name of the plugin you're talking about? Wouldn't setting your permalinks to %category%postname% do the same thing?
- liz
I can get that part to work sometimes, but so far have not managed to get any search numbers at all
- Kevin Wilson
Turning off File - Settings - Proxy in MarkSam fixed the SEOC problem for me straight away.
- Paul Williams
I had the problem a couple of times today. I just completely got out of MS and then logged back in. It was working great after that.
- Susan Kaul
from twhirl
I'm not a member I don't have a microphone, any idea what they run and where to buy?
- Shauna
Shauna run down to your local Walmart and pick up a cheap one there.
- Curtis Miller
Shauna. Walmart has a Skype headset with their name on the outside of the package...I think it was $29,95.. We'll guide you thru to get it working...Skype.com also easy. Just sign up for the "FREE" account...I am jimer.sainsbury on skype. Make sure you get the headset with a mic on it...
