EZArticles handles that for you and also opens each article on your own website,  a feat that takes some programming.

So if you are looking for an easy way to add hundreds of self-maintaining artices to a site, give EZArticles a try.

MyMovies is a great script for adding movie listings to a website. However, I must say first that MyMovies is not meant to be a big time global service for use by people coast to coast and I hope you are not thinking you have a shot at that anyway.

But if you have a small community website that could benefit from movie listings you shoud give MyMovies a look. One of the cool things you can do is have the main page open to a particular zip code so people in your community would not even have to search Another cool thing is that the main search page sets a cookie that rememb the user’s last search.

How does MyMovies work. [...]

This article does not describe any specific or guaranteed way to make money on the web. Instead, it simply outlines some of the avenues where money may be made. The products you sell may be physical or downloadable information products.

sell products on ebay or other auction sites
sell products on a website
sell affiliate products
create traffic and sell advertising
sell services

No matter what, traffic is the key.  If you sell on eBay, they provide the traffic. If you have your own websites, you must get traffic to have potential customers.

I doubt this a any big revelation to anyone who reads this. But though it is simple, it is absolutely fundamental.

Let’s relate the concept to television. Just about everyone watches television. And just about [...]

Why get a single domain hosting plan when you could host multiple or even unlimited domains without paying too much more. Sometimes plans like this are called “reseller” plans. But that does not mean they must be resold at all, altghough you can do that. Many plans now are simply labeled “Unlmited Domain”. With any unlimited domains account, you can just add domains at will without paying more or asking permission.

Unlimited domain hosting is the way to go even if you have only one domain now. In most cases it won’t cost you much more and will offer the flexibility to quickly add domains whenever you feel like it.

I have researched all the hosts below and they all offer good [...]

Let’s do a test search. It’s getting close to Christmas so we’ll go with toys.

Total Listings
250,000,000

Total Visible Listings
649

Total Listings Shown Including Those Initially Omitted
9,900

Total Percentage of Listings Shown
.0004%

Indexed Sites Completely Omitted
249999999.9996

Aren’t you glad Google is saving you from those 249,999,000 or so listings. Sorry I can’t count that high. I’m sure that would be a giant waste of time, effort and page space. So if you are one of the 249 million who can’t board the gravy train for that simple one word search, feel free throw your money into Adwords. You’ll be competing with the sites who already have the top organic search listings.

Lucky for us Google is saving us from irrelevant listings. That’s what makes it so incredible [...]

As recently as a few years ago (eons in web time) many of the web’s most prolific gurus were recommending huge amounts of dynamic content as the way to create traffic. Flypaper, as it was called. And mostly duplicate content. I did a lot of that business and business was good. After all, you pretty much needed a programmer for any of that.

Content management systems always help some promise but who could have known it would be like this. Now, some of the most popular sites on the web scarcely need a webmaster or even be professionally hosted for that matter. Just upload Wordpress and  you are good to go.

Now those who churn out word rule the day. And those [...]

Here is a quick and dirty polling system that requires no database.

Create a text file named “polldata.txt” with a question and answers in the following format.

What is your favorite color?
red:0
green:0
blue:0
yellow:0
orange:0
black:0
white:0

Then create a PHP page with the following code.

<?php

$pollQuestion = ”;
$answers = ”;

function readData(){
global $pollQuestion,$answers;
// Read configuration
$rawdata = file(’polldata.txt’);
// Get the question for polling
$pollQuestion = $rawdata[0];

// Get number of answers – The foirs row is the question
$numberOfAnswers = sizeof($rawdata)-1;
$count = 0;
for ($i=1; $i <= $numberOfAnswers; $i++){
$answerData = explode(’:’,$rawdata[$i]);
// If tha actual row is not empty than add to the answers array
if (strlen(trim($answerData[0]))>0){
$answers[$count]['text']  = $answerData[0];
$answers[$count]['count'] = $answerData[1];
++$count;
}
}
}

function writeData(){
global $pollQuestion,$answers;
$file = fopen(’polldata.txt’,’w’);
fwrite($file,$pollQuestion.”\r\n”,strlen($pollQuestion));
foreach ($answers as $value) {
$row = $value['text'].’:’.$value['count'].”\r\n”;
fwrite($file,$row,strlen($row));
}
fclose($file);
}

readData();
?>

Marcus Campbell, creator of Simple Sites Big Profit turns web marketing on it’s ear by claiming “traffic is the easy part”.

Or does he? Hasn’t that always been the case. After all, you know what they say. “Find out where people are looking for you and just be there”.

I think “simple” is definitely the key word here. While so many of us the last several years were putting up flypaper, consisting of duplicate content and whatever else we could get our hands on, guys like Marcus and Yaro Starak were typing away at unique content with laser directed niche ads.

Come to find out, they were right all along, whether they planned it or not. Either way, I suppose they attained [...]

In case you have any doubt that Google is completely aware of it’s unchallenged authority in search marketing, trying your hand at the latest incarnation of Adwords will certainly clear that up for you.

If you thought Hal from 2001: a Space Odyssey was a computer hard to deal with, you should try dealing with the artificial intelligence in charge of Adwords.

Have you ever had a boss you’d like to strangle but, instead, suffered in silence. Welcome to Adwords. And this Adwords is like no other animal before it.

Google has evolved to a state where they so absolutely dominate web traffic that they have decided they have the right to tell even their oh-so-fragmented paying customers what kind of content they [...]
