If You Could Suggest Only One Element of Success, It Would Be…

Mark Hansen — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 16:03:56 +0000

So, I got one of those emails from a reader that asked 50 questions that all started with: “If you Could Only Have One [insert 50 different tools here] What Would it Be?” I’m about halfway through the list and when its done, I will let you know where its located… One of the questions however, was very tricky… yet surprisingly simple. If I could suggest just one element of success for someone just starting out, what would it be? The answer has so many variables that come into play, like ...

Pages Versus Posts for WordPress Review Sites

Mark Hansen — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 20:36:19 +0000

After knocking out several RankSpanker reports over the past week, one of the most common questions that comes back is whether I prefer to use Pages or categorized Posts in WordPress, to setup the flow of your site. There really is no carved in stone documentation as to which method works best, but for myself… I prefer to use a Paged format for the products on review sites, and posts to drive demand and funnel traffic to those Pages, here’s why! Hint… think of eCommerce! Pages Versus Posts on WP Review Sites Transactional Landing ...

Free RankSpanker Report – Start Your Own Portable Radio Site!

Mark Hansen — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 23:05:38 +0000

Last week, I published an example RankSpanker Blueprint Report to give you all an idea of what the report looks like. The example was a Board Games Website Blueprint, and was immediately picked up by a few readers who have already started websites in the niche. This week, I am going to step into a somewhat busier market, and plan a website around the portable radio niche market. RankSpanker – Portable Radios I would build the site in a WordPress backend of primarily pages, and supporting posts, then monetize through: ePN, Amazon, or CJ Product ...

Mark Hansen — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:30:47 +0000

Since mentioning my Niche Builder Services last week, I have answered several of your questions regarding the RankSpanker Report. The most common question is actually… “What Is It, and How Will it Help Me?” The easiest way to envision the RankSpanker, is to look at it like a Niche Site Blueprint. So… Instead of explaining what it is… I figured I would simply provide an example report for you to see! If you don’t subscribe to the RSS feed… someone probably owns what is written on this page already! The same ...

New Weekly Feature – Developed Site Dump

Mark Hansen — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 12:04:15 +0000

It’s no secret that Kim and I have WAY too many domains and/or websites that are just being neglected, or completely ignored. We made the decision several months ago, that instead of shelving projects and simply renewing domains with no additional plans, we would have a monthly strategy session devoted only to what we were going to do with the domains set to expire in the following month. What we came up… is that we are going to develop them to the point of 10-25 page sites (Our typical starting point) and ...

How Long Does it Take You To Setup a New Site?

Mark Hansen — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:16:39 +0000

Over the past several years, I have talked with many of you both on and off the site. One of the most common challenges I hear people talk about is staying focused and structured in order to get things accomplished. I can definitely relate, since it’s my own biggest weakness also! Repetition Creates A Habit How many of you wear your seat belt EVERY time you get into your car? For me, its literally the FIRST thing I do, before I even start the car, and I really don’t even have to ...

Mark Hansen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:57:03 +0000

So – I’m gonna step back in time just a bit and get back to some of the very basic things that have been working for me on product review sites over the past few months. If you recall from a few days ago, I still lack focus… and due to that haphazard way of building product review sites in volume, I have definitely seen a few things working better than others. I confess, in the last 90-120 days – I have added more than 30 review sites. The following items ...
