Is SEO PowerSuite Any Good?

Posted by andy on April 29th, 2011

If you’ve been doing internet marketing for a little bit, then you’d know that there are many SEO softwares out there. Some do on page optimization, some do keyword research, some are for link building, rank checking, and many other detail purpose oriented software.

And as far as I know, there hasn’t been one that seems to do a big chunk of it. However lately I’ve found one that does. It’s called SEO PowerSuite.

This software has several components. First and foremost, there’s the tool called Rank Tracker, which is one of the best rank checking and history tracking tool for all your websites. You can even take notes on what you did on what day and easily see if it helped ranking thereafter or not.

Another great feature is the Link Assistant, which is great for systematically acquiring and managing all your link building efforts. You can search for link partners, link exchange forms ready to exchange links with you, and filter these prospects out with many useful filters such as pagerank, nofollow status, and more.

SEO Spyglass is another tool in the suite which basically allows you to check up on your competition and see what they are doing to out rank you, so you can figure out easily what you need to do to out rank them.

Website Auditor is the last piece of the suite. It mainly has to do with checking your website and webpage’s onpage SEO factors and will let you know what you need to do on a particular page to be optimized for your chosen keyword.

All in all it’s a pretty useful package even if you just use one or two of the components. I use Rank Tracker and Link Assistant mostly and I cannot live without it. I think you will find it useful too.

Who Says Link-Building Has to be Hard or Complicated?

Backlinks are crucial to any web marketing or SEO endeavor. Once the onpage optimizations are properly in place and primed for backlinks (as they should be), the next step is to drive backlinks to your site.

Unfortunately, we all know that backlink building is tedious work. Even with softwares that auto submits for you, most of the time you still have to sit there and manager it, by creating new accounts on web 2.0 sites or article sites, submit, and then wait for those pages to get indexed. And when some of these pages do get counted by the search engines, they seem to only help a bit, because there are only so many major web 2.0 sites these services support.

The truth is, the real way to rank higher and higher, is not just to have links from these limited web 2.0 sites over and over again (multiple links from the same site will yield diminishing returns), but to have links coming from much larger community of blogs and sites.

There are a few service that does this, including seo link vine, article marketing automation (ama), and my favorite, rapid free traffic. (yes that’s an affiliate link, so if you end up buying this through my recommendation, I’d get a little kick back, and would definitely appreciate it!) Basically, services like these are monthly memberships that allows you to simply supply an article (spin-ready format), your targeted KWs for anchor text and URL, make a few selections regarding the content/topic,  and BAM, you’re done. Sit back and let it “drip” the articles out into its larget network or blogs/sites and gain powerful backlinks gradually and all on autopilot.

Of course, it’s important to have a natural link profile, meaning you want to have the right mix of different types of links, such as some bookmarks, some blog comments, some published articles on other sites (as with these article “drip” services), some forum links, and so on, so as powerful as this type of service is, do remember to sprinkle the other types of backlinks into the mix to have a natural link profile.

That’s pretty much it. Link-building doesn’t have to be hard. It just has to be smart. =)

Laptop Wireless Internet – The Trend of the 21st Century

Posted by andy on February 5th, 2011

Wireless Internet for laptops is definitely one of the hottest trends of today’s society..The laptop computer was initially developed for portable use, employing the very same concept and features as a Desktop. Since it was first developed, wireless Internet has become more and more widespread, mainly because of its reliability, accessibility and simplicity. For an incredible combination, all you have to do is connect your laptop to the Internet using a wireless device. Plus, connection is no longer the difficult task it once was since there are various options you can follow.

To be able to gain advantage through this valuable service on your own laptop computer, it will really want to be wireless Internet enabled. Virtually all most recently manufactured laptop computers are actually configured for wireless Internet plus nearly all will come set up with a wireless Internet chip.

The easiest method of connecting your laptop to the Internet is by using a Wireless Internet router, the center of your home wireless network. Simply stated, your router receives the broadband cable or DSL signal from your modem, and then broadcasts it wirelessly throughout your house. The antenna on your laptop then picks up the signal and voila! Wireless Internet!

As technology improves and advances, wireless Internet routers become more sophisticated and efficient. Newer models can limit unwanted intruders trying to connect to your network due to increased security capabilities.

Taking things a step further, Wi-Fi has totally revolutionized the way we connect to the Internet. WiFi is certainly one of the most widespread solutions for home computer users to get on to the Internet without need of plugging in a modem to a phone line. Typically referred to as a hot spot, wireless internet access is where a LAN or Local Area Network transmits radio waves instead of sending signals down wires or cables.

This will allow you to tap into high-speed Internet via wireless hotspots up and down the country. Quite a few, for instance those in pubs, restaurants and coffee houses, are frequently completely free to use, although different places including stations and air terminals quite often can charge. Just imagine being able to go online wherever you happen to be: in a cafe, on the bus, in the park or anywhere in your house.

A broadband connection is pretty much a must for a wireless Internet connection to give you the best speed for Internet browsing. High speed broadband wireless Internet for laptops will in most cases make use of Wi-Fi technology. If you are new to wireless internet you should consider what you want from your plan in terms of download speed, price and download limits each month and then compare these with other mobile internet service providers. You never know, if you are already with an ISP, then they may have the perfect plan for you.

If you don’t have wireless Internet on your laptop, this being the information age, then you might just as well not have one! Regardless of where the laptop or computer is positioned, there’s pretty much always an effective way to get on the internet. And the technology is only going to get better in the months and years to come.

email list building
BigMan asked:


Seems there should be a way to build a quick list, i.e. you send an e-mail to 15 people, all of whom you typed in their addresses in an address bar. Or, “find” contacts who have a San Diego address in your contacts list and, once you’ve found all 22 of them, just “click” to make them a mailing list.
