If you are anything like me, then you know that in order to accomplish a goal, you need to set up some sort of accountability.  When I’m able to plan my goals and follow up on my progress, I’m able to accomplish much more. That is the purpose of this page.  This is the Content [...]

After creating Long Tail Pro, one of the most common questions that I get is, “What is the difference between Market Samurai and Long Tail Pro?”  Well, trust me, I could go on for hours.  But rather than do that, I decided to make a video that demonstrates some of the basic differences between the [...]

Yesterday, I posted about the link between more website content and more search engine traffic.  At the end of the post, I threw out the idea of forming a group that could motivate each other to create more content for their websites.  Well, I received lots of positive feedback in the both the comments and [...]
