If you are in SEO for a while you have heard about SEO Book and SEOmoz Premium Membership where you pay for an access to quality content and resources that will help you boost your SEO skills and continue to grow in this area.

“The Marketing Pilgrim Essays” ebook that is given away for free is an example that both publishing scenarios coexist in the SEO world. In the beginning I thought it would be 20-30 pages ebook and I will read it through within an hour. It came out it is a collection of 68 Essays on Improving Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Advertising and Social Media Optimization. Marketing Pilgrim is sharing this precious knowledge with you and will be happy if you recommend this 163 pages book to others and/or subscribe to their RSS.

Copyblogger has recently published a post regarding text formatting with a very specific picture in the beginning. This example is to demonstrate why you should be creative in using images on your website. Just have a read the second comment to this post:

Eric: Best. picture. ever.
The article was OK too

What is our target, Sir?!

If you have a website or a blog you quite likely visit Google Analytics or any other stats often wondering how to improve the following:

• number of visitors and visits
• pages/visit rank
• avg. time on site
• bounce rate

Probably you are addicted to these stats, like I am, checking them to often wondering if you are closer to your targets.

The more I read in the Internet about becoming self-employed, the more I feel I will succeed. Why? Because becoming an Internet entrepreneur is like quitting cigarettes or losingweight - gather more people around you with similar goals and it will be easier to reach your targets together. I regularly feed myself with articles and ebooks of people who have developed their own business or are on the way to it. Not only makes me feel more confident about my efforts, but also there is something else - I feel that we all do this together, especially that most of this people want to share their knowledge, support you and guide you because they know how hard it is in the beginning.

A friend of mine went to the USA for summer holidays and while doing some sightseeing, she met a guy and started to have a chat with him. They were talking friendly for a while and then she said she would like to come to America to continue her studies but can’t afford that. And like in the American dream, he offered her financial support to cover all the costs. He said that somebody helped him in the same way when he was young. After graudating from university she is now studying MBA while working as a stock market analyst in one of the companies in North Carolina.

Probably you have heard a lot of stories like this and they are indeed nice to read but what is my purpose of writing about that?

I finally decided to reorganize this blog and start writing regularly. Thank you for all positive feedback I received. I appreciate your support and I can promise that from now on you will see more serious content.

After my first months in blogging I found my way in doing this and I hope you will like it.

Redesign needed

My first decision was to change WP theme. I didn??Â?Â?t like the previous one and I couldn??Â?Â?t improve it as easy as I would expect. So I was looking for some well-prepared theme and, lucky me, I found it ??Â?Â? Copyblogger theme! While reading different blogs I stopped on Pearsonified.com and it took me just a few seconds on the site to realize this page is going to end in my Blogroll.

I like tools that make my life easier. I was already writing about Docs & Spreasheet application from Google. I have been using it for a while and the function I really like is sharing documents with others. It is very useful for me as I can work with my colleagues on different projects and there is no longer need of sending documents over emails back and forth. And with the latest updates you can organise all your documents in folders. It is not a rocket science - just a functionality that works for me.

I would like to recommend you three very good posts I have found recently.

First one, is a solid article describing gold rules to run a rebliable internet business with a focus on surrviving the affiliate evolution.

Second one, is very interesting as the author in the beginning emphasise that earning money in the Internet these days it is all about hard work. Instead of selling cheap advices how to become rich, he explains the mechanisms how to build an affiliate site you can sell for $1m. Great piece of content.

The third one, also very good editorial, this time about Click-Per-Action and 4 models to make money on it.

I hope you can find valuable information in the articles described above. Drop me a line in the comments if you do.
