Trying to Make it Easier to Navigate Long Articles!
I know, it seems like its been a full week since my last article at the NSB site. In reality, In my effort to try and make similar content easier to follow, I have started writing series-type content, into one single article. When that article is completed, I will then drop in the tab structure to separate it into sections.
Sorry for the headache during this change … hopefully, it will make following related content easier in the long run.
The Latest Site Updates
The first multipage article was around Speeding up a WordPress Site, and thus far, I have completed two sections of the article, testing the domain at the server, and the Optimizing the Core Install of WordPress. In the next segment, I am going to walk through the typical plugins I install and see how to make each one work a little better!
The next multipage article I started was focused on a Checklist for Building Your Website, and the various steps we take on EVERY site we build! The first segment focused on the Domain Settings and Plan, then jumped right into Installing WordPress and the Plugins for the site. This article is not your typical click here and do this article… but gets into some pretty indepth who, what, how, where and why, type content, that many of you may have had questions about.
This coming week, I am going to walk through each of the 8 core plugins, one at a time, and show you how we configure them for each site!
Progress on Our Site Build and Sell Project
Another week passed and we added several new starter, or core website builds to the list of sites for sale, and the page is open for the next 36 hours.
In the month of April, we have:
- Built or Rebuilt 25 Starter Sites for ourselves.
- Built or Rebuilt 6 Starter Sites for Others
- Built or Rebuilt 2 Local Sites for Others
- Transferred Ownership of 8 New or Existing Sites
- Purchased only 4 NEW Domains in April (That’s HUGE for me! LOL I usually buy many more each month) Use Coupon Code OYH10 for $2.50 off each .com at GoDaddy!
In total, we still have more than 160 domains to get built… and 16-20 of our own core sites that are being maintained along the way. Kim and I really working to get our days better organized has made a HUGE difference in our business!
A Very Good Web Read
Jeremy Shoe… aka Shoemoney.. wrote an article yesterday about Why Shoemoney Hates SEO, and I have to admit, it’s one of the best articles I have read in many months on his site! You really need to read it from top to bottom to get the whole meaning of the article, but near the middle he says it all one paragraph…
I used to live and die by Google. But then my sites started getting nuked out by Google (my own fault) and I thought my world was over… and while I was able to get them back in because of the connections I had, it taught me a valuable lesson… and from then on I decided I would never again live in fear of Google. Sure I try to adhere to Google’s best practices in regards to linking and paid posts and stuff labeling them properly with no follow tags but we do so little of that, that honestly it really does not play a part.
What I get from that, and what follows it… is that the MORE you try to do shit for search engines, the HARDER it gets!
What Tripped Your Trigger This Week?
Share the best posts you found this week in the comments below.
I saw a Problogger article that talks about how good ePN is? I left a fairly long comment that was VERY neutral about ePN and focused more on the signup process… not negative at all, but it wasn’t published!
Did anyone else read the post? Had you commented on it also?

I have been doing my part to "Build the Internet" since 1994, when I built my first website! Since then, I have built hundreds of niche websites for myself and many others, focused on design, applications, ecommerce, search optimization and internet marketing. 
Impressive on the Site Build/Rebuilds – I’ve built 7 new ones in the past 30 days. I need to take my smaller BANS sites and make them into WordPress-Reviewazon-Phpbay sites – it’s a goal. If I could get rid of distractions, I could do more.
Made a goal that for every new domain I get, I gotta let 2 go. Process of upgrading my domains to better ones – which I have seen alot of great domains let go over the past year because of the ecomomy and other reasons (and the domain fees are going up on July 1st for all registers.) I’ve gotten some really really good ones. Sorry I can’t share – but they have a ton of exact search terms. Very happy with the domain turnovers.
I’m one that has suffered from a drop in 20-30% in QCP, but over the past month I’ve actually been up from where I would be if EPN was back to old model. Still trying to breakeven to pay the bills, but as a fulltime internet marketer, I’m making more progress with WP-Rzon-Phpbay. I can crank out a nice site in 48 hours now. Just wish I could get my wife working with me, we’d be unstoppable, but she has a lot on her plate with the kids and involvement with the school.
I did make a move to Florida, bot a foreclosure 1 block from the beach, still have the house in Michigan.
I like the read on the site builds with installing-configuring to make sure they are optimal.

Mark,
We would all love to read your comment, why not publish it here…

@Sean – Congrats on the move Sean! The main thing I am trying to avoid on these new sites is building a store-like site! (aka BANS like, or ecommerce like) I am focusing on the informational aspect FIRST and the commerce aspect second.
Seriously slow-playing it! :-)
@David – I wish it was worth regurgitating, but essentially it was just walking through a few ways to help get your account setup, and a couple do and don’t kinda things. (They DO like high traffic sites, they DONT like store-type sites, etc)

@Mark Hansen – I can’t get out of the ecommerce mode. Although rzon helps a bit – I custom coded a template to make it look more like a product comparison, but I still put up the product loaded pages since I’m a ppc person.
