Yeah me….the annoying one. The one that promised some kind of regular posting since the beginning of the month but did not quite make it heh.
So the story so far.
Market Samurai ILOVE this tool. You can expect me to be posting more about what it does, shows and why if you are into website building, you should buy it.
Pros
- easy to use
- looks great
- gets information from various sources
- very versatile in what information it provides
- more features still to come
Cons
- Everyone will be using it and making SEO that much more competitive
Ed Dale Mankini as I mentioned on the Ed Dale Mankini Terapad blog I have stopped posting there for the time being due to focussing on the 30DC. If you are following on with the 30Dc you will know NEVER to try and break into a search phrase that looks like this
Ed Dale mankini all SEO pimped out
The BLP and BLEG will be the decider in this one; but like I said, i am busy for this month 
WordPress Direct is the blogging tool that is being used by the 30DC and to be honest I am still not sure about this one yet as I have not had enough time with it. One day of use and I can see the great benefits it will add to those who want to set up blog clusters around various niches.
At this stage for me
Pros
- removes the need the manual searching for relevant content
- Can be used to set and forget to keep blogs fresh
Cons
- Site looks god awful (geeze guys surely you could have grabbed a better theme for yourself)
- Blog templates still need to be edited to remove backlink links and crud from them
- Still waiting to be cached (but I am spoiled by Terapad’s 2-8 hour ranking)
Still in this business test, test, test is the mantra and that is what I will be doing.
Planned and executed my exit from the corporate world. Walked away with a 6 figure payment to boot.
All I can say Allison, I would touch that niche with a barge pole as we over in the UK would say, in other words folks don’t even think about it. And, pity the fool who does try it!
I am still trying to get my head around day 2 & 3, I’ll have to catch up.
Thanks,
Hugh
Hi Allison – this is the last day when can upgrade to silver or gold WPD … and have found your site – excellent …
And its speaking volumes to me as I too have had some difficulties with their customer service (or lack of it really) slow response. lack of communication, leaving me floundering and not clear if the outstanding matter have been waiting on for a week is being dealt with or has been dismissed).
This probably goes against everything that IM is about (but as a newbie I’m allowed) – I think a telephone service would save lots of to-ing and fro-ing and sometimes a proper conversation to iron out a few issues in one hit is all thats required. But patience is a total pre-requisite … for such a service – its a passion of mine and perhaps I just found me another niche.
So my burning question is do i go for gold or simply upgrade to silver and see how it goes … yet i know that the gold package offers all the bells and whistles (except as a newbie – i really don’t know what the difference is – adv on this would be great). I’m slowly going thru the challenge – as am also launching my offline business in health coaching … lots to do and loving both sides equally … But decisions decisions … what to do so little time …
