RT @BruceTurkel: You will NEVER guess what this ad is about : http://www.noob.us/humor... It's wonderful.
Brilliant.

I'm up to watch the final - Go Manchester United ..... Unrelated - ever notice how sarcasm never works on twitter...
And it didn't even work to make believe (in Spanish) that you're actually supporting Barcelona. The curse cannot be fooled. Just like you cannot make it rain by washing your car. lol

At this stage I am very close to giving up. The moment I start getting decent traffic Google ditches all my keywords. I'm struggling to research new niches. Market Samurai has stopped working altogether since the much awaited supposedly fast version was released.
I've submitted tickets, but to no avail. I cannot even check them out because the helpdesk keeps telling me I don't have have access to the tickets. The 30DC starts soon, but I don't know if it's worth it as I'm down in the Mariana Trench at this stage.:-((
- Frans
I know how you feel... I feel like giving up every single day, at every single second. =) But feeling and doing are two different things. Don't listen to much to feelings. I'm a failure, and I suck air when it comes to marketing, but Ed's going to post a solution to that soon on his blog, so I'm not too worried either. I quit my job to pursue a full time career marketing online, partly...

Could you explain what this means please "Google ditches all my keywords". Writing clearly will help find the answers to the problems.
- Andy Roberts
I think he means, Google doesn't want to give him good rankings...

MS has been messing up for me also. First time I have had problems since buying last year. The new update I think is the culprit. I put in a ticket and they asked for the project I was doing to get more info on the problem, haven't heard back since (2 days now), must be taking the holiday off.

Ditches my keywords means they disappear for no good reason (that I can ascertain) from the rankings. One day #5 next day #39, next day #197 then gone. Not for one keyword or one site either. Different keywords, different sites. Then it maybe comes back in two or three months, slowly climbs the ladder and then disappears again.
- Frans
As far as MS is concerned I just wish I could get the old version back. Then I can at least get some work done.
- Frans
If you can use rapidshare, here is a link to ver 0.76 http://rapidshare.com/files... just uninstall current MS and install this one. When prompted to update say no ;)
- Jorge Blanco
Frans, Sometimes It's best to do something else for a while...and come back fresh for a new battle. In Previous 30DC, Ed had to insert a day off here and there.
- Juan Pablo
Frans & Ron: is it any better with the newer update?
- Isha (Marysia)
Nope. Still the same.
- Frans
Frans - it might not be google - maybe people are targetting your site,make it stronger with links,optimising as much as you can,post often ,deep link like Ed says....make it too much trouble for them
- Inspired Writing Research
Frans, I reckon you need to do what Art suggests - email helpdesk@noblesamurai.com and explain the situation with trying to view your tickets. I know the same problem (with tickets) has happened before.
- Isha (Marysia)
Yes. Actually, I guess sites disappear from Google anytime, and for any reason. And when they'll be back can be unpredictable.There's no way to stop it. So I think it's a good idea to have as many pathways leading to your main site as possible. If visitors can only reach your site from Google, then if Google slaps it, people can't go to your site anymore. So you need a lot of different...

Have succeeded in getting MS to look at the problem. Seems to have something to do with download speeds. Hope they solve it soon. I have Squidoo, Hubpage and Weebly pages. Maybe not enough different pages of content. Will try some more articles. Have quite good rankings in Yahoo, but the traffic is much less than from Google if it ranks.
- Frans
Yes. 3 Web 2.0 Sites are definitely not enough. The Social Media Daily Blueprint by Michelle Macphearson contains a huge list of other Web 2.0 sites you should submit to. It's a good reference. Look for a lot more different sites to create content from such as Blogger, Xanga, Vox.com, etc.
- Art Y.
OK, I have been inactive on here for a while, but I will pass on what I have learned in the last 2 weeks. If you are using WP (not the direct version but it will probably still work), then site optimisation is a really good place to start reviewing what you have done. This is a link I got in a recent email, and it is a free WP optimisation plugin -...

Hi Frans, I saw this and wanted to leave you a note to update. I checked into the issue, and found that the cause might be related to download speeds. We're doing some analysis to work out the precise cause now - and you've been extremely patient (thankyou!) As you know, Market Samurai downloads a lot of information very quickly - and if it's not able to suck all of the information through the pipe fast enough, it can experience issues. I just wanted to let you know we're on top of things and encourage you.
- Noble Samurai
A drop in google ranking is normal. You get good rankings, then they drop, but they will return. Just make sure you build quality links back to you site - constantly and evenly - don't do lots and stop, keep going and spread them out. Also add new content to your site constantly and in an even rythm, maybe once a week.

from BuddyFeed
Thanks for all your support it is much appreciated. Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood - the guys from Market Samurai is very helpful indeed. I started using email to exchange info and not tickets and that works fine.
- Frans
I appreciate your post. I also wrote that SMS advertising provides a cost effective method of targeting promotions to specific customer profiles. You might want to remind customers of specific events or promotions, but for whatever reasons, SMS allows you to pass information directly to the right customer at very affordable prices and fast delivery. <a href="http://www.hearingaidindia.com/" target="_blank">Hearing aid</a>

Mr. Ed Dale, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed. I just listened to the 1st video on 30DC. But Ed you godda listen to me Ed because I'm an authority on this for real so listen up. A lot of people can not hear you. They mentioned it many times last year. I guess you choose to ignore this. Thinking they are lying or they are complainers. I CAN'T HEAR YOU
Jason liked this
YOU NEED TO HANDLE THIS Ed TERMEDELY. When people can't hear you it's more upsetting then you realize. I notice people are extremely polite about it so you don't think it's a big deal. It truly is upsetting to people. AND IT HURTS YOU. People drop out of your program because THEY CAN NOT HEAR YOU. I got about half way through 30DC last year and I couldn't take it anymore. I wouldn't sign up for 30DC+ only because I couldn't hear you. If you want to make people happy YOU HAVE TO PROJECT Ed. You have to project your voice into the microphone. It will make people happy and it will mean a great deal more income for you. Please take this as a help flow Ed.
- Russ
So Russ... is it the volume, or background noise, or what? I am sure specifics will help
- Allison
RUSS Have you ever considered it may be your set-up thats the problem.Very easy process to check ask other people if they can hear him. Ed I can hear you fine ... RUSS there is an answer that you might not want to hear. THINK you need to do some research for yourself via google to see if their is any know problems ie Are you using pc or apple. What operation system are you using Are...

Russ _ i actually take the audio section of my audio very seriously. Now live from time to time I get of mike but everything else I do I take the time to master to ensure the best audio levels I can.
- Ed Dale
Ed, I can hear you fine. No problem ever.
- Frans
Russ, I understand where you're coming from, but I'm someone who also knows about these things and I have never had a problem hearing Ed. And I don't have any fancy equipment or even a fancy computer. Usually watch the videos or live feed on my 5 year old laptop with a Plantronics headset....
- Lisa
...During the live show the other night Dan was a bit louder and echoey at times but Ed has always come across loud and clear. Anyone who is having problems with hearing the audio, I would suggest first looking at your audio set-up, and make sure you listen through headphones. Computer speakers can often be the culprit.
- Lisa
I'm not saying anyone is lying that they can't hear, but there are so many settings and other things that could have caused it - if others can hear fine then it's a sign that the problem isn't Ed's end. I'm semi-deaf from years of wearing industrial size headphones with loud music blaring through them so if I can hear him it can't be his settings!
- Lisa
Sometimes it is a little distorted, but I think its just the technology. I could here everything fine the other night.
- Rich_Glass
We've had this discussion several times before. E.g. http://ff.im/1Hr9R. I find Ed's videos and audios to have low sound levels. I resolve that by using earphones. Same laptop, Dan's videos/audios are perfect (all Imm Edge in fact). I suggested that Ed post a pdf transcript at least for all his TEACHING videos/audios. The marketing/announcement stuff doesn't need pdf. The pdf transcripts are searchable, storable locally on hard disk, and can be read through in 10 minutes, compared to watching for 40 mins.
- Ritesh Lal
Though I have never had trouble hearing Ed with my headset, I do know that I have had the volumes at the upper levels..... Just like on TV you would not want to have a set maximum... some people may want to Crank it up and do housework! I am not discounting that some may have audio issues, it would seem to me to be prudent to provide a much higher than needed Volume and the rest of us can turn our volume down - Mark
- Mark South
For me all videos till now worked just fine!
- Mitja MG
The issue I had with the audio was that Dan was so much louder that I couldn't hear Ed when I turned the sound down for Dan (who was otherwise blasting in my ears). Also, people's hearing inevitably changes as they get older (even if they don't need hearing aids), so it's great if we can provide audio that can be turned low for young people with good hearing but plenty of room to be turned up by other people.
- Isha (Marysia)
Btw, is there a place where I can watch this? It was 3AM here and I have to sleep sometimes ;)
- Haim Schlesinger
from BuddyFeed
You know what it is. A lot of people hear Ed just fine (so they say above) and I've seen this before. So I believe he must be speaking loud enough (since many people hear him fine) (so it's not Ed's fault) but I could swear some of us, our computers are not picking up his audio.for whatever reason. Get everybody elses audio just find, no problem, but with 30DC all of a sudden certain...

Listen to the warning!!!!

arrg, I need to heed warnings! Very funny Art!
- Elizabeth
That is quite evil. Clicked on it and then couldn't get rid of it at all without shutting down Firefox - which was a pain as at work with multiple windows and tabs open monitoring traffic and couldn't just restart with the same session! had to start from scratch You have been warned!
- Lisa
That was not funny, Hacker style evil. Shame on you
- Colossal Marketing™
Hey Lisa, for future Ctrl, Alt, Delete works wonders :-)
- Elizabeth
Ha ha. Sorry everyone =) But I did warn you... When you tell people not to click on a link, there's no way they can resist clicking on it. =P A good marketing strategy for getting a higher CTR, no?
- Art Y.
I did do Ctrl, Alt, Delete but had to close the whole of Firefox to get out of it. Had 4 windows and about 25 tabs open at the time.
- Lisa
Art - yes, we are all going to click, it's curiosity. Although, in an environment like this there is an element of trust.
- Lisa
it's more a matter of patience... the window moves in a pattern. Find the pattern and the tab's X will fall under your mouse and BANG!!!1 It's gone. Of course you have to go through the lyrics pop ups. It's all evil genius >:D

Me dumb, didn't listen. Serves me well!
- Frans
Why did I click on that????
- Rich_Glass
If you have "restore previous session" enabled, then killing Firefox wont help, as when it starts again, it opens this again, Next version of Firefox wont have this problem, as there is supposed to be an option in every javascript generated alert on a site to "stop running further script on this site"

Curse you Art! I managed to ignore it for days, and now thanks to all these new comments, this came again on top of feed. The worst is that I kept humming the rest of the day "Never gonna give you up..." Oh horror! :-)
