Archive for 2005

Here’s the next part of my blog updates for 2006.

1. The VincentRich.com forum is now search engine friendly. I installed the phpBB SEO friendly add on I got from Able2Know.com. I "modelled" my forum to their search engine friendly recommendations by removing a whole bunch of useless elements on the page. Now the pages will appear with a "*.html" filename for the search engine spiders.
2. The next forum update will be to let users subscribe to "email digests". I want to participate in the forums as it grows bigger and bigger. By receiving daily email updates, I will be able to keep track of all the topics in the forum and so will you.
3. The forums will also have "insider clubs" for people who purchased products through my affiliate link. I will have forums for people who purchased Google AdWords 123 and some other products I plan to support in my forums. This will be done manually for the time being as I research and find ways to automate the process by looking into Clickbank’s API.
4. I am also creating a "membership site" format for my

You might have noticed a few minor changes in my blog. Here’s a list of changes I made to welcome the new year!

1. Enlarged the logo and made some minor tweaks to the Vincent Rich cartoon and background image.
2. Updated the "Who is Vincent Rich" page with a better photograph of myself that looks kind of like my Vincent Rich cartoon.
3. Added a forum to the blog! Please register an account at the forum while I finalize the categories and forums in it. Subscribe the forum RSS feed to get notified whenever there are new posts in the forums.
4. Added a dollar sign favourite icon to my blog. Its so easy to create a favourite icon for your web site. Check out this free favourite icon service I used to create my own favourite icon!

I have a couple more updates to be released before 2006. I will fill you in on the details once they are ready.

Oh damn I was right. I got kicked out of the Wealthy Affiliate for asking too many questions and the owners didn’t like my tone and said I was being overly negative and critical about them. All I can say is you can look at the questions or even join the site to take a look for yourself to judge whether I was being critical for the sake of being critical or because I was wanted to get the answers from them. I had a genuine desire to learn the things I asked them but the owners didn’t think so. I emailed them my campaign details for a critique but they told me its too late because they have decided to terminate my membership.Please check out my Wealthy Affiliate review for the full story.

I just joined the Wealthy Affiliate membership site 2 days ago. I’ve been looking around in the membership area and so far I am not so impressed. I can’t give a full review on the Wealthy Affiliate membership site yet because I have not used their "coaching" services and all their keyword lists.Wealthy Affiliate is for affiliate program marketers who want to promote affiliate programs with PPC search engines like Google AdWords. I personally didn’t see any information about promoting affiliate programs with Yahoo Search Marketing. I only see Google AdWords related information in there.Here’s what you’ll get in the Wealthy Affiliate membership site:

1. "Personal Coaching" in the forums. I have seen members sending the 2 owners of Wealthy Affiliate their Google AdWords campaign details privately for them to critique. This could be useful to learn how they optimize their campaigns.
2. Keyword lists of a bunch of affiliate programs. I am not sure how they came up with their keywords lists. Its just a long list of keywords in a text file. There are no indications of the amount

Hey everyone, I managed to get all my emails for the past 3 days. Everything’s back to normal again. Thanks for your patience!

I haven’t been receiving emails for the past 3 days. There is something wrong with my email servers at my web host. I have contacted them about this and I hope they can fix this as soon as possible. I apologise for any emails sent to me from 5 December 2005 to 9 December 2005. Hopefully when the mail servers are up, I will receive all the "lost emails" for the past 3 days.

I became a guinea pig to test this lazy pig system for 1 month. So far I have not found a Google AdWords system that has worked for me. Now, I’m not one of those guys that build 1 web site and give up, I created 17 web sites in the past month with the lazy pig system and still couldn’t get it to work even with the author giving me tips on how to improve my web sites.Anyway, read the full review of the lazy pig system and get the full story.

I want to say a big thank you to the 4 guys who sent me their testimonials. Please keep them coming! Remember the testimonials with photos, URLs, full names, country, and audio will be placed at the top. So far we’ve got 1 guy at the top of the testimonials page with a photograph. Who’s next?

I wonder why I didn’t think of this before. I moved the newsletter sign up box on the right to the top. Right now you do not need to scroll down in your browser window in order to see the newsletter sign up box. In geeky terms, this is often referred to as "above the fold". I am sure more people will notice the box and sign up for my newsletter from now on.I just got my web site approved for Chitika eMiniMalls! Some people say it pays better then Google AdSense. I am going to test it on this blog and my other sites to see if it works well for my web sites!
