Hi Ron I was going to upload it as a pdf for download, I never thought about having it as a post, that is an even better idea, any tips on doing either would be good :) I have uploaded a pdf before in weebly but never with wpd so have no clue. I like the idea of it just being a hand written post but no clue how to achieve this? - Groobers

I don't know about WPD, but why not upload it to scribd or another file storage service and share the download link in your blog ;) - Jorge Blanco

@Groobers I don't think it is possible to upload it from within your WPD contrl panel. The best way to upload it (or any file) is with FTP. I use Filezilla which is very easy to use. All your FTP info is shown in your WPD "manage websites" area. ** If you need help setting up FTP, Direct message me here or PM on the forum**. You would just upload your PDF to your server and than link to... more... - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Lol that last one is beyond my skills Jorge :). Re "You can put a description prefix before your category" in the permalinks section - can you give an example of what that would be? How would adding to the permalink create a Desc optimization for a keyword? As I understand it, the Desc in Market Samurai's SEO Competition matrix comes from the All In One SEO Pack plugin description (I already have the keyword in the url). - Isha (Marysia)

In case I was unclear, I didn't mean I want to put a description in the url - I want to make a description for the page. - Isha (Marysia)

If you go to your WP admin dashboard, then go to Categories (under the post module) there is a text box for the category description. You can also click the "Edit" link on an existing category to get to the description text box. **Heres the bummer though** Not all themes show a category description.....This is right from the WP cat description text box --"The description is not prominent by default, however some themes may show it." :( - Ron"micronet"Harwood

@Isha Here is a plugin that may be of use for what you are doing-- http://www.laptoptips.ca/project... ...Also here is a good post about working/hacking your descriptions .... http://www.jtpratt.com/wordpre... :~) - Ron"micronet"Harwood

You can use %postname% in the custom permalinks section and then use your keywords as part of the post title and it would automatically appear as part of the url, all indexed. - TrafficBug

@TrafficBug, it's already in the url. I was asking about getting it into the Desc ie Description - Isha (Marysia)

Thanks @Ron - I'll give those a go. - Isha (Marysia)

at $0.50 you need to be making $100 sale each 200 clicks to break even ;) IF you can do more than that you'll see profit. Just take in account that to achieve pos 1 in the ads, you'll need to make aprofit with an even higher CPC - Jorge Blanco

the CTR is great, you should have a quality of score of at least 7. I wouldn't say CPC is high or low, really depends on how popular the keywords are and the level of competition. In my experience, position 4 or 5 is pretty good if your aiming to keep cost per conversion low. - besht

I noticed that too. Maybe everybody went to the 30DC Forums while it's really active in August. At least I did. - Michael Netsch

God thanks for noticing the same thing Michael I'm so glad I'm not alone. Let's try this Michael. Yell hello and see what happens. HELLO hello hello hello hello. Yea sure enough there is an echo in this place how scary. - Russ

I am still here hay! - TrafficBug

Hey Russ, Everybody is busy making money :-) Time for 30DC2009 newbies to get the ball rolling here. - Ritesh Lal

Hello hello hello hello-o-o-o ! This old peep has come back from the dead - Isha (Marysia)

Hey Marysia is that you? You are one of the old peeps and one of the good ones the best in fact. Sooooooooooooooooooooo glad you're back Marysia. eeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa. Did you see the time Larry Wolf said "my happy dance continues unabated" still remember that line and it kinda fits now. - Russ

Hello again hello just called to let you know...hi hope all's going well...testing testing hello... - Groobers

Groobers of course I remember you yur onea the old peeps. So cool. - Russ

Russ definitely old ;) I haven't been around friendfeed for a while any big changes? I have been trying to get a grip with the forums but I am so bad at the search thing and with being so behind yet again this year I feel bad because I keep asking the same questions. - Groobers

Well damn Groobers. I think this stuff is all about persistence, persistence and more persistence and then you finally make it. - Russ

I was rudely withdrawn from society by my body's health pecadillos. I sorely missed you all. - Isha (Marysia)

LJF Wolfe is Linda :-D I think she's busy mayhaps. - Isha (Marysia)

Well, busy is one way to put it . . . also not paying the TOTAL attention to FF like I used to, and oughta -- but I sure love seeing all you guys again! It's easy to get out of the 'FF checking habit' when you don't see the icons of old friends. Hiya!! - LJF Wolffe

Larry oh shoot you are LJF a lady sorry, One of your other great one liners is also appropriate here. "I love my computer all my friends are in it." See I not only listen to you but damn I even have your material memorized. - Russ

Wow, Russ -- that's cool, but kinda scary. Good lines, though, huh? Even if I did find "all my friends are on it" somewhere else. And don't worry about the name thing; I use LJF to be intentionally ambiguous, so it's my own darn fault. 8-) - LJF Wolffe

Russ, only just seen your "Marysia is that you? You are one of the old peeps and one of the good ones the best in fact.Sooooooooooooooooooooo glad you're back Marysia. eeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa"!! Thank you - you just made me feel all warm & big-smiley - it's great to be back! - Isha (Marysia)

Hey Linda and Isha two of the absolute best glad you are back and Isha thanks for the talk, I solemnly swear to stop being so attached without properly testing (from now on just call my wally ;) to the testing... Thanks Russ for starting this post it's great to catch up with everyone :) - Groobers

Man, August was crazy. Lots of unexpected work and quite a bit of travel (crazy as in fun :D) A bit sad I couldn't show up much for the 30DC this year... Rest assure, as the dust settles I'll be showing up here more often. Glad to see ye old peeps are still alive an kicking, cheers to you all ;) - Jorge Blanco

The number one trick to find such a profitable niche would be find something where demand exceeds supply. Its basic economics. Even when there is enough supply, some niches can be profitable if they are prone to repeat business (such as cartridge refills). - TrafficBug

The market tells you what they want, If you can notice peoples needs and wants your almost there, I feel the real key is to search out those things that make someones life better,Example of this would be stopping snoring , how to fix a leek. Hope this helps,I have had this same problem,don't let it stop the momentum of you gurney.Ed Dale is the man and your in the right place.I love Ed... more... - jaiman andersen

Funny enough, I was having same issues past couple of days. Just shut down MS, let it rest a while, relaunch, and it got back all the missing data. - Ritesh Lal

Yes, I am seeing this same error. Shutting it down is the only resolve I have found as well. - Cindy Helton

I shut down numerous times to no avail, but since I have updated to include the "monetization" module, it seems to have worked itself out. Things that make you go hmmm... :) - Peter Gibson

Well, the Noble samurai team works hard to get all the bugs they can out of MS, but since it relies on other services, like google, if google makes a move, they have to adapt MS to it :) In theory, all the bugs will EVENTUALLY be resolved ;) - Jorge Blanco

Just think that when it comes back up - you will have a good reason to do the Happy Dance. ;) - Sheryl Loch

how is your site doing in yahoo,bing. - tomartomartini

Yahoo is doing fine. Bing just seems to ignore me altogether ;) The amount of traffic from yahoo is 10% of what I used to get from google though... - Jorge Blanco from email

time to check your seo on page or any black hat you might not be aware of & bad link communities pointing at you (ie to many link farms for your link count) - JuneM

Yeah, I put AddToAny temporarily while I sort things out. Didn't know about social marker one. Have you tried it? how was your experience with it? - Jorge Blanco

Hi Jorge, I'm from AddToAny, and the author of the WP plugin. Let me know if you need any help or have any questions about the AddToAny plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend... - Pat

http://www.ustream.tv/recorde... - Brian McClure

I have seen this one, it is on youtube on Ed's channel too (very cool news btw). Was there something before this recording? Also, apparently there was also a Q&A session, anyone got the scoop on that one? - Jorge Blanco from email

I unsubscribed and then subscribed back again, so that # 3000 would be me :) - Art Y.

lol - why did u do that art? - Inspired Writing Research

Ummm... feeling naughty :) - Art Y.

Haha! Good job Art. But wouldn't unsubscribing bring the number back down to 2,998? :P - Nicholus

Well, I waited until it reached 3000, then unsubscribed to make it 2999, and then subscribed back again to make it 3000. - Art Y.

lol Art! - Graham Hunt

Class Art just pure class:) - Groobers from iPod

Thank you for your help, it was recorded with an RCA EZ300HD - Mark South

Here's a small little video editor for free. But I'm not sure if it will take your avis http://www.freevideocutter.com/ - Michael Netsch

thanks I will try anything at this point - Mark South

If you can open it in Quicktime, then you can edit it in Quicktime pro - Andy Roberts

for simple splits you can use VirtualDub, or any of these free software http://bit.ly/10JrvL - Jorge Blanco

Hi Mark, the avi's you have will be MPEG4 or MP4 or H.264 or mov...all the same practically. WMM has no codec to deal with that format effectively, that's why it's free! Best bet is to get a cheap video editing software to do the job, something like Cybelink Power Director or VideoStudio. - Lance Carr

I use AVS to convert my videos to FLV and post to amazon S3 and you can find it at AVSmedia.com. Also use the editor and sometimes use the built-in microsoft one (movie maker). - Robert M Stanley

Thank you Jorge! Yes Unfortunately I need them for reading... Makes it obvious that one eye brow is higher than the other :-) Until this video I thought I was perfect :-) Thank you for the pointers I think I will change back grounds for the next video... my first 18 takes were VERY dry compared to this one... yesterday it took me 19 minutes of "film" to get two minutes.. Practice practice practice - Mark South

I would think I need to do all the normal book marking and social networking on this you tube page... Right? Think anything special for Videos?? - Mark South

Regular Bookmarking applies, but you might also want to check TubeMogul (free) and TrafficGeiser ($$$) for uploading your vid to other video sites ;) - Jorge Blanco

Been using it since it was Foxmarks. Awesome addon. Allows me to do some productive work when away of my main station ;) - Jorge Blanco

I WHOLE HEARTED-LY second this suggestion. I lost ALL my bookmarks last year when I had transported them to Flock and it subsequently crashed...taking all my bookmarks with it. It took me over 3 1/2 weeks of back and forth emails with the Flock support team to recover a PORTION of my previous bookmarks. xmarks is a must have if you want to completely avoid the nightmare I experienced...great recommendation Brian! - Roque

Can you explain what the xmarks are as Firefox has crashed twice? Thanks - linda saunders

Firefox has started acting up on me too...after the recent upgrade. The support forum was of no help. So, I found a website that let me download an older version of Firefox. No problems yet. http://www.oldapps.com/firefox... I hope this helps--Tam - Tamra

Agree with Howard - Im using Flock from last years challenge and am sticking with it for this years - it rocks and new version of Firefox will have to be absolutely awesome for me to swop back. - Andy Grant from Alert Thingy

Firefox 3.5 is just around the corner. Have you tried the beta? it's not stable (at all) but it is another option ;) - Jorge Blanco

Lol - must admit I had you for a member of the female persuasion!! Just shows the androgenous nature of bears!!!! - Andy Grant from Alert Thingy

Oh and sorry, can't help you with the lord gods Ed Dales avatar - if you find out let me know - thanks in advance. - Andy Grant from Alert Thingy

Ahhh thank you I was stressing out!! - Si Stock

I agree don;t panic... but you should make sure to check out googles tools at https://www.google.com/webmast... If your sitemap has an error they will remove your site (been there done that, I fixed it and the site was indexed again) - Mark South

Jorge is right, A few years ago I could get a few top keyword positions in less than 3 minutes..to only disappear a few days later..than reappear. As Jorge said keep doing the right things and as your niche site/blog grows, it won't happen near as much. Best Wishes :) - Brian McClure

The problem I'm having is in the browser, on the twitter.com web site. I've already decided to only tweet using Digsby for now, which at least knows which account to send to. I've run into this catching up in the AM. Thanks, tho, Jorge; I'll be looking into it! 8-) - LJF Wolffe

I have a similar problem, but on Seesmic desktop: in my twitter's Home column for username ishabluebell I have people who are following an identity I have in one of my niches (in addition to the people who follow ishabluebell). Totally bizarre, & a bit annoying. - Isha (Marysia)

Moreover, in Seesmic, when I click on each username identity I have, the display often doesn't change. And I've tried to click on links a zillion times, but no browser tab opens up, ever. - Isha (Marysia)

Eww! 8-( That stinketh! Digsby gives you an icon for each account, and ne'er the twain shall meet; I'm only having trouble on the site itself, thank goodness. I hope that can be fixed 4 U, Isha! - LJF Wolffe

Eh, it's not much more than v irritating. I get much worse prog issues than that. I shall use Seesmic for the sake of having many columns open at once, but prolly also use Twhirl, since I can't get Seesmic to show any more than 3 entries at once, unlike Ed's, which shows 5 or 6 entries at once. Anyone else get that - I can't make my Seesmic window any longer than about 5 inches tall? It doesn't do resizing at all. - Isha (Marysia)

@Isha Seesmic Desktop's Home column always combines all your accounts. That's no bug at all. - Michael Netsch

Try peoplebrowsr. I really like it - all inside your browser, so no worries about downloading and installing (and changing settings) on different computers - Alistair (alpinefolk)

I really like having an icon in the system tray -- instant access without taking up a browser tab or screen space. And I'm keeping an eye on 4 different accounts. But I'll take a look. Thanks! - LJF Wolffe

Thanks Michael - well I never! When I want to look at Home for @ishabluebell I don't want to have to see a load of entries that belong in one of my niche products - how horrible is that! @Alistair: as far as I can see, People Browser only comes with light-coloured writing on a dark background. I find that a trial to read. But thanks for the suggestion. - Isha (Marysia)

LJF Wolffe: PeopleBrowsr comes in an AIR version as well. Download link is on the bottom of the main PeopleBrowsr screen - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Isha: PeopleBrowsr has completely customizable Themes. You can change all the colors as you like them. Themes link is also at the bottom of the page, next to the PB AIR download link. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Also, in PeopleBrowsr, using multiple accounts is easy. Each stack will have an avatar for each twitter account. Select the one that you want to see tweets from/to, and all your replies/DMs will go from that account (in that stack). If you select multiple avatars the replies/DMs come from your primary account. Posting new tweets via the top banner post box, select the TO button, and check where you want the post to go (one or more twitter accts, plus Facebook, Friendfeed, identi.ca and ping.fm) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Thanks Rob! - Isha (Marysia)

Sure thing :) Here to Help! - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Thanks for the info! Will definitely check PeopleBrowsr out. - LJF Wolffe

Didn't know about the AIR version of pplbrwsr, thanks! - Jorge Blanco

Love to hear Feedback on our apps, too! There's a room here on FriendFeed http://friendfeed.com/peopleb... (and you can post right from PeopleBrowsr - envelope at the bottom of FF room stacks) - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from PeopleBrowsr

You can also search FriendFeed and Twitter from either inside PeopleBrowsr or from search.peoplebrowsr.com :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from PeopleBrowsr

I LOVE the new TweetDeck! Multiple user accounts, unlimited columns... Best I have tried! - Sheryl Loch

Its you. - Brian McClure
