Search Engine Optimization Bet - Gaming Google For Fun!

June 30th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Creative Marketing, General, News, Niche Marketing, Personal, SEO, Traffic

So the other day I was shooting the shit on AIM with this kid I met at the Azoogle event a few months ago. His name is Jonathan Volk. Some of you may know him, most don’t. Not being mean about it, just the kid has been in the game for almost a year. He’s actually been very lucky to get to where he is, but he’s also a well bankrolled PPC affiliate. He’s doing around six figs in profit. Whatever, his accomplishments have nothing to do with this post, and I’m not promoting him nor am I going to bitch about him.

The reason I’m writing about him is because we made a little bet. We were talking about WH SEO (white hat search engine optimization for you slow folks), and since I love to gamble, I proposed we try and rank for eachother’s names. So that means, aojon.com will rank for Jonathan Volk or Jon Volk, whichever I guess, and his blog will rank for Jon Fisher.

My Once In A Lifetime Project - Domains.org

May 06th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Domainers, Forums, General, Industry Bullshit, News, Niche Marketing, Personal, Promotion, Traffic

I’m going to keep this brief and to the point, so not to bring up any crazy and/or stupid questions.

This has nothing to do with WickedFire.com.

This project will be completely on it’s own.

Internets.. let me introduce you to Domains.org. Domains.org, meet the internets.

The domain was registered ONCE in 1996, and has been held by the same owner since then.

It currently ranks as #9 in Google for the coveted keyword - domains

It gets a pretty impressive amount of typein traffic, and search traffic.

It makes more annually than most affiliate marketers do, and this domain hasn’t even been developed the way it will be over the next few months.

We’re currently looking for partners. If you provide any type of service or product, and you’d like to pitch us, contact me.

We don’t need developers/designers, so if that’s your gig, there are plenty of other outlets for you guys.

I just want to tell everyone who got pissed off at me over the last week due to me not being around to respond to their emails or messages, THIS is why I have been so busy and secretive. I still have to finish writing out the architecture project plan for it, but this is THE project that I’ve been looking forward to. Big thanks to my new partners on it too.

In a few months or so, we’ll start dropping more information on what our plans will be for developing it. I can say that we’re going to be creating services for both the everyday naive business owner that just needs a domain, and also for the secretive domainer market industry.

I won’t be leaving WickedFire, but I may end up taking a less active role in posting and dishing out information. I still have plenty of big plans for WF, so I can’t just cut myself off just yet.

Domaining - The Project Of A Lifetime & Some Other Junk Too

May 04th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Business Related, Domainers, General, News, Personal

Well, just when I thought this industry couldn’t throw me anymore new surprises, I get a bunch of curve balls tossed my way, one after the other. Finally though, it’s really good news for me.

I’m not going to say just yet what it is, but it’s in the nature of the domaining industry. So for all of you who were waiting to hear how I cracked the Google algos over the last year, tough luck. Maybe I’ll sell that info on ebay someday, you know, just to go out with a bang, and hopefully no more lawsuits! Haha!

Make Money Online Now - A Recession Is GREAT For the Internet Marketing & Internet Advertising Industry!

March 28th 2008 Posted to Affiliate Marketing, Business Related, Creative Marketing, Domainers, General, Industry Bullshit, News, Niche Marketing, PPC, Promotion, Publisher Advice, SEO, Traffic

Good news everyone…

While the rest of the country and world even fears the rumors about the US economy going to the crapper, and a recession is either upon us or going to be very soon, this is going to make us a lot of money. I mean A LOT.

I know, you think I’m insane for saying so, but it’s true. Maybe half true on the insane part too.

How am I able to make such a bold statement? Easy. Market research that I do myself, psychological profiling of the market and it’s advertisers and affiliates/marketers, and toss in a few other things I don’t want to mention that our gifted programmers have developed for us that can pinpoint with pretty damn accurate numbers in terms of trends and tracking of the industry as a whole AND in niche markets.

Here’s how I see it…

Internet Marketing Industry People I Respect… And Then The People I Don’t Really Care For!

February 09th 2008 Posted to Announcements, Blackhat, Forums, General, Industry Bullshit, News, Personal, Things That Piss Me Off

Last week I made a bit of a ranting thread on WickedFire as a way to get some stress and other crap off my chest that had been bugging me for a while. I didn’t do it for linkbait, I didn’t do it to pick a fight, I didn’t even do it to entertain anyone but myself. I did it solely for the purpose of the fact that I have just been so sick and tired of reading the same shit over and over by people who don’t have a stinking clue as to how to really do what they say they do! I mean, there is only so much a person can take when visiting other blogs and then hear or see the same crap being posted all over the industry about how great or how unique this one guy’s advice or blog is, when really, it’s just the same shit, over and over and over again. It also turns out, that most people are sheep. It’s true, you can admit it if you know you’re one of those people.
