I am often asked how to get indexed quickly into Google. I am usually pretty good at this and I actually enjoy doing it quite. This is exactly what I did for a friend a week ago on his brand new site. I followed a set procedure that works for me in about 2 days, usually. This time it smashed my 2 day record and the site indexed in just 2 hours.

Amazing, right? I’ll just say how I did it. I guess I should preface this by saying that this was for a straight html page.

The first thing I did was create an rss.xml file (RSS feed) for the single page site and put a link to it from the page.

The second thing I did was write up a post about the site, with suitable links, on a wordpress.com blog that I keep primarily for this basis. I chose the tags for the post carefully. I chose related tags that are quite active on wordpress.com and a few that were less active.

Next, I used a pinging script that I got a year ago for some website. I had it first ping the wordpress.com blog to 23 sites that accept pings. Next I pinged my new site and its RSS feed. I waited about 30 minutes and manually edited my site’s rss.xml file to show an updated post time and then resubmitted the site to the 23 sites that accept pings.

Within two hours of doing the first work, I checked in with Google and sure enough, the site was already indexed. I was shocked! The previous best time had been 2 days.

A friend and I were talking about an awesome new idea to help people handle the current economic crisis. We had been sitting around trying to figure out a way to help people save more money and make more money in these troubling times and like an Eureka moment, we came up with the idea of Freelance Personal Financial Consultants.

Basically, a Freelance Personal Financial Consultant helps people find ways to save more money and make more money while working for several different programs on a freelance basis. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Traditional marketing has been put on its ear thanks to the internet. No longer does media spending on TV, radio and print represent the only way to get info on your company’s products or services to consumers. There are alternatives and these are just a few.

1) Make up a Youtube commercial about your company and highlight the products and services.

2) Attend conventions and trade shows as a participant and hand out business cards.

3) Make up blogs for each of your company’s products or services and keep those blogs updated.

4) Look into a simple inhouse telemarketing campaign. Do a an hour or two of cold calling about your products or services when you are doing something else.

I want you to succeed and I know anyone can succeed at business if they put forth the right effort.

Having a bank account that easily travels with you is a great thing. One of the problems I had when I was abroad was managing my bank accounts. It always seemed like a huge hassle to maintain an account for my Adsense payments as well as Paypal payments. Many of my income sources were only discovered once I was abroad. Not wanting to make a trip back to the US just to open a bank account, I had to search high and low for an easy to get approved for bank account.

I was able to find that with Account Now. They have both an Account Now MasterCard and an Account Now Visa account available. They are easy to apply for right online. All you need is a US social security number and a US address. You’ll get an account that allows you get accept ACH payments, direct deposit, and PayPal withdrawals. Not only that, but you’ll also get either a Visa debit card or a Mastercard debit card so you can have access to your money from the store and from the ATM.

When I say that it’s easy to get approved for an Account Now account, I am not whistling dixie. It doesn’t matter if you are listed on Telecheck or Chex Systems, you can still get an account. If that wasn’t good enough, you can sign up for their credit builder service and have your bill payment service report your monthly payments to the Credit Bureau. This way you can build a positive credit report.

If you are looking for a perfect compliment to an online business, you should be signing up for an Account Now Visa account today. You’ll be able to get an account that helps you manage your online business, no matter where you are in the world.

Now that SocialSpark has jumped out there with new affiliate offers, I think online blog marketing is beginning to change. In fact, it might be changing permanently. As people begin doing these affiliate offers as posts, it won’t take them long to realize that they can make up their own posts and monetize them with affiliate offers from a large number of different networks.

This could totally change the way the market for sponsored posts has evolved over the last couple of years. Instead of relying on others to create opportunities, individual posties can create their own posts from affiliate offers and make their own income, without needing to conform to rules on post length, disclosure, nofollow, or any other little rule that comes along. The postie themselves are the ones who make the rules and monetize their blog.

This could even mark a return to the independence that blogger had before embracing sponsored posts.
