Frequent blog posting vs consistent blog posting
By Tony Tran on April 2nd, 2010 | 34 Comments

When I first stumble upon a blog, I usually read the first lines of the newest post. If the lines intrigue me or make me want to read more, I will read the rest of the post.

I have sort of psychoanalyzed myself on numerous occasions to determine what it is exactly that causes me to subscribe to a blog. A primary factor is always the frequency of posts.

By Tony Tran on March 31st, 2010 | 10 Comments

Google PageRank. The crown of every newbie blogger. Yup that is right, I said it: Google PageRank doesnt mean squat. Unless of course you are a newbie blogger. PageRank is a value from 1 to 10 that Google assigns to websites in its index. The higher the PR value, the more authority and credibility a site has. Naturally, Google is the only website with a PageRank of 10 and all of the lesser websites are given values from 0-9.

By Tony Tran on March 25th, 2010 | 12 Comments

If you want to understand how to be successful online, study those who are already successful, and gain an understanding of “what they do” and “why they do what they do…”. Then mirror their actions. I have been very successful using Article Marketing to promote my online businesses, since early 2000. I have written and distributed many articles that went on to generate sales in the five figures. But for the sake of the FTC, “Very few people will make this kind of money with Article Marketing…” If you understand the “how and why” of wr...

C. R. Licklider, of the Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) company, in August 1962, in memoranda discussing his concept for an “Intergalactic Computer Network”. Those ideas contained almost everything that composes the contemporary Internet....

Yesterday I received an InMail on LinkedIn with a list of recommended holiday presents and links to purchase them from a fellow group member…seriously?
