After I made my last post about the recent Google Panda update, I received LOTS of really great comments about different strategies that people employ to keep themselves “immune” from updates by Google.  This has got me thinking about my own strategy and how I go about doing things.  Don’t worry, I’m not about to [...]

After well over a year of planning and development, and several months of beta testing, I have officially launched Long Tail Pro to the general public.  This is a very rewarding experience to be able to take an initial idea and go through the entire process of building, testing, and finally launching. I know that [...]

First of all, I wanted to say THANK YOU to all the great seed keywords that were submitted on my previous post here.  I actually received 113 seed keyword ideas!  Obviously I was not able to use all of those, but I do appreciate the enthusiasm. The point of me gathering all of those seed [...]
