In this blog I will be sharing some of my seo and marketing techniques as well as some of my random seo ramblings. Most of the methods I will be talking about have been personally tested and have been proven to work. I can't say this blog is strictly white hat seo. Just because some ideas are unethical and extremely black hat, does not mean we should not discuss them. I hope you enjoy my blog. Don't forget to bookmark and subscribe :)
Hey! My name is Ilia and welcome to my blog! I am 22 years of age, 7 of which I've spent working for myself. I've had a lot of success with seo and Internet marketing. I've achieved a number of highly competitive rankings, driven millions of organic visitors every month and generated thousands of dollars in revenue. Now I'm here to share some of my experience with you.
Don’t worry, you are not the only one. In fact most active Internet users would use the same password more than once. Its just there are so many different website you register with, it can become difficult trying to remember all your passwords.
Little did you know, this also means you are incredibly vulnerable to various hacking attacks. Even if you have the strongest password in the world along the lines of: P4sSw0orD771bQ/
Lets imagine you are one of these people using the same password every time you register a new account. If I was to steal that password from you I would simply have to find out something you might be interested in. Lets say Football. What I do then is create a dummy website about football. When the website is ready I will drop you an email. This is where a bit of social engineering takes place. I would say something along the lines of: “Hey -your name-, I heard that www.dummyfootballsite.com gives away free tickets to world cup final bla bla bla. You should quickly sign up and grab one before its too late”
That person then goes and registers. I now have his password… to every single place he registered with. All I need now is to get into his main email account and get my hands on all sorts of usernames, pin number, accounts and transactions.
Don’t become a victim. You should now go and make sure you change all your important passwords to something unique.
One thing I find very annoying are fixed size windows not designed for firefox. I would spend 5 minutes filling in some long form just to find out that submit button sank bellow the frame and I can’t resize the window. To fix this problem you can tap in about:config into your firefox address bar and hit enter to open a very secret configuration menu.
Type “resize” into filter and you should end up with “dom.disable_window_move_resize”. Double click the value so that it says “false”. You should now be able to resize any window.
Sometimes I need to limit the amount of RAM firefox eats. Filter “capacity” so that you end up with “browser.cache.memory.capacity”. Then change the value to something a bit smaller. I usually halve my value until I am happy with performance.
Have you ever closed a tab by an accident and lost all your work? You can restore your session when your browser crashed but not when you close it by an accident. You will never lose your work again. Simply filter “startup” and change the value of “browser.startup.page” to 3. Next time you start firefox, instead of going to your homepage it will automatically restore the last page you were viewing as well as the data contained on that page. Obviously be careful with this one. If you were looking at something naughty you might not want your kids to accidental restore that page.
PS: Top commentators is back guys
PPS: Need to give a friend of mine some puolapuut related link juice puolapuut
Sorry for taking so long guys. After celebrating my birthday (It was amazing!) I have managed to get myself a nice little food poisoning. Bloody French food! (I love it really)
Have a look at “About me” in the header. Can you see anything different? That’s right! It no longer says I am 21 I will be turning 22 in 7 hours time. Little did I know, my friends have prepared a surprise for me. I was given a day to pack my bags and grab my passport before they kidnap me and take me to some unknown location. This is going to be crazy! I would therefore like to apologize in advance about the blog competition. I have already picked the winners but it might take me a few days to recover from my birthday, chase everyone down, give out the prizes and make a blog post.
My new social seo project is almost ready. Its the matter of designing a quality theme, which should be done some time next week.
Top commentators plugin has been disabled due to wide spread abuse. I don’t mind sharing some link love but some people just took this too far. As a compensation the seo project I mentioned above should provide you with plenty of backlinks when it is finished.
I have also been granted access to Woopra which is ever so amusing. I can now see what people actually do on this blog, where they come from and I can even chat to them by popping a chat window. I will probably go into more detail some time soon.
You can also buy me a birthday drink here. I like to pay for my own drinks but because so many people insisted they buy me one on this special occasion, I could not say no. You should however donate to children in need instead. They need this money more than I do.
Have you seen “Revolution”? Its an inspiring movie that has been released not that long ago. I watched it the other month and I must say, found it quite touching. Even though this is not my kind of movie. Anyhow, I am not here to discuss the film. I want to talk about the marketing concept that was used to monetize this movie. The video bellow explains the new ticket sales concept quite well:
I can say this concept was a massive concept for these guys. I’m sure you can research the exact figure on your own if I intrigued you enough.
So I decided to try the same approach online. I picked my best selling Ebook that sold like crazy not that long ago. I knew it was a quality product because I have sold 100 limited copies within a few days and not only had 0 complaints, I had people contact me to say thank you. I did not just stop there however. I have bundled the Ebook with more tools and bonuses in order to turn it into a truly great product. I then gave it away for free and asked the “buyers” to pay for it afterwards if they found the product useful. There was no set price either. I asked them as to pay as much or as little as they want, depending on how satisfied they were with the product.
50 copies later do you know how much money I have made? $0! Not a penny! I had people contact me to say thank you. I had some people say they will pay me later as soon as they get more paypal founds. Some said they would send me a cheque… But at the end of the day I got nothing.
You are probably thinking… There are plenty of open source projects that rely on donations from its users. I myself started my online journey with a project that relied on donations because I never even heard of Adsense etc back then… However what I tried with my ebook was slightly different. I knew that my “customers” had the money, I knew that they were willing to pay for this product before, I encouraged them to pay at least something, I made my concept clear and I even followed up some time later.
PS: Obviously they was not a scientific experiment. It was small scale and not so random in terms of customer demographics etc.
