Hi Gordon, Happy New Year - the config panel is on the left hand side on mine. Feel free to mail me if you're stuck :) - Paul King

I cannot find it at all Paul, it used to be across the top in the Admin in my pervious wp version, looking to manage the plugins, not the activate deactivate screen, but the one that allows me to add in meta details, google analytics code and such like, lost your email address Paul, do you want to pm me it? - Gordon Martin from twhirl

ummm...not likely we're gonna behave ourselves while you're away, Ed. we have to keep our reputations intact, you know ;-) - Barb Sabathil

I really wish you had time to squeeze a day in for Chicago. A lot of challenge members within a few hours of O'Hare or downtown - liz

I have to second what Jamie has stated! Ed, Dan, Bob, Caro, Nez and all the members of the 30DC Challenge team who have brought this together as well as the Marketing Samurai Guys and WordPress Direct Crew, what you have given in the way of your time, knowledge and own expense has been to quote a phrase, "Totally Awesome!" Thankyou so much for giving a me (us) such a wonderful opportunity in learning so much for so little! You All Rock! No word to describe except Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou THANKYOU - Tim

Agreed, its hard to ignore the negative, sadly the usually shout (complain) the loudest. You're all doing a sterling job, thank you sincerely. - Paul King from twhirl

I am constantly amazed at the selflessness and generosity shown by the 30DC Crew. I've learned a tremendous amount that will help me with my business going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Roxanne Ravenel

I cant agree more with all of you. The 30DC and the whole team are awesome. Too bad there will always be that small portion who must spoil everything they touch and those for whom even breathing is too much of an effort. Don't let them worry you. Please keep up the good work. - Frans

Thanks to everyone who has come together to provide us with such complete, thorough and ridiculously awesome training...I have learned more from this challenge than I ever would have had I continued to try to market on my own. You guys rock. Thank you on behalf of myself and every other participant in this challenge. - Shariyf Clark from twhirl

Last year's London meetup was in a Starbucks near Embankment. Several of the Manchester mob came along as well including Dan Raine, because Ed Dale was only staying in the UK for a short trip on the way to the US I think. This year there could be a bit more notice since the idea of face-to-face meetups is being specifically endorsed for 2008. Not essential by any means, but it does seem to help in general after putting a live persona to an internet contact. - Andy Roberts

Id' love to go to this, if only to buy the guys some beer/contraband. Sadly I'm sorting a broken leg so I won't be able to make it :( - Paul King from twhirl

I'd certainly like to go - anyone any idea of the date of the London meetup? - Isha (Marysia)

Ok, i just happened to listen to a recording of the live show where the schedule was revealed a bit more. London would be on 31st August - so we can celebrate surviving the whole 30 days! - Andy Roberts

But I still should get like 1000 a day even if it's its phrase match...whats going on - ZoekmachineGuru from twhirl

good post, thanks...so, why again is seot based on broad match?? - EcoAussie from twhirl

good post (left a comment with my idea about the thing) Umit: if Google writes 1000 under July, that means a 1000 for that month. if you divide that by 30 it's not as good.. you should see 6000 or higher - Thomas Chisler from twhirl

@ EcoAussie Ah true, forgot about that. - ZoekmachineGuru from twhirl

Excellent information. Thanks for the detail. I'm going to start using this to cross check KWs before diving in feet first. - Amy (9yards)

Thanks to everyone for their supportive comments, I've found a new niche AND confirmed it - let's see how fast I can get this baby running! - Paul King from twhirl

Paul - Thanks for posting this. When I do searches for what I'm looking for, I always do phrase matches. Go figure. - David Lemberg

This has been mentioned in the 30DC forum (by me, among others) but never made clear in the videos etc. Who knows why, as it makes a huge difference in which phrase you pick to work on. - Kevin Wilson

umm actually we have covered this alot - in particular the daily shows and Q and A's - Ed Dale

rob talks about the speed of ranking - and this is where you see the impact - Ed Dale

FWIW, I've managed to get through the first ten days on a new niche in about 6 hours (most of the that time spent creating content) New domain live and socialmarked, the lot! Go 30dc! - Paul King from twhirl

Does anyone remember what daily show covered this or could someone summarize? - Amy (9yards)

ignore this, wrong post - sorry - Paul King from twhirl

Hi Greg, I'm not the copywriter in Team Impact but I am a copywriter so thought I'd have a look at your site... hope you don't mind ;). I've not read beyond the first paragraph as I believe you can improve your conversion rate by focusing on the headline, subhead and opening paragraph of your squeeze page and implementing the following... 1. add a curiosity element to your headline e.g. Discover The Secret Formula...; 2. Use present tense (e.g. instead of "that will generate..." use "That Generates"; - Richard Goldman

3. Use strong visuals that relate to one another e.g. instead of stampede and downpour think "That Floods Your Downline With A Torrent Of Big Fish (Not Samll Fry)"; 4. Use a capital letter at the beginning of every word in your headline and all subheaders; 5. highlight power words in your headline with bolding, underlining, font size change; 6. Make a bold guarantee of some form of measurable outcome; - Richard Goldman

7. For your subheader try using three questions that address both the biggest frustrations your target market may be facing as well as the biggest aspirations they may be hopping for. You must ask these three questions so that the natural answer to each one of them is a resounding YES! This gets them in harmony with where you're leading them; 8. Your opening paragraph is all about you and not about the reader. This is about them, not you so make it crystal clear how THEY will benefit by reading on. - Richard Goldman

You did ask for some ways to improve your copy :) Hope I haven't offended! - Richard Goldman

Sounds like some great tips -- but please don't capitalize Every Word of your headers. "Of,", "A,", "With" don't get capitalized. Think of it this way: your title is what you want to shout at your readers. When you shout, you emphasize certain words (what you want to get across), not all of them. "that Floods your Downline with a Torrent of Big Fish" will keep the English Majors from shuddering . . . unlikemy writing style. Make sense? I hope so . . . - LJF Wolffe
