Google Saying Goog Bye Wave
August 5, 2010
Google announced today that it was going to stop supporting it’s Wave service. I have no real opinion on this one. I read so many negative responses about Wave that I never gave it a look. Joining was one of those things that had desire but lacked motivation in my world.
I am a very busy person and quite frankly I have to limit what I experiment with. It is not an uncommon experience for me to start a free 30 day trial offer and to have it expire before I return to the project. Thus I never got around to using it. I can say the same for Google Buzz. I signed up for it and I have never used it. From what I was reading about the product it didn’t seem to offer any immediate benefits for me.
Well, Wave was such a big hit that Google is giving up on further developing the project. I’ll file this one under “Oh Well” and move on. At least I didn’t waste any time on this project.
When you are an internet marketer using social sites is often a crap shoot. Will the site be around long enough to make using the site worth while. As with link building, it’s a matter of will the policies toward links change. I have lost thousands of backlinks when the Ning network of sites made links in posts No Follow. I had been a member of 110 Ning sites and I had made an average of 8 posts per site. All of that work was destroyed.
So do be careful not to have all of your eggs in one basket.

Custom Home Builders Tucson Arizona
July 10, 2010
As many of my regular readers all ready know I am very skilled at getting results for local businesses and industries. To show my skills I will be targeting this specific keyword phrase.
Custom Home Builders Tucson
Green Valley & Marana Arizona
Over the last few years in business in Tucson I have talked with several Custom Home Builders. None of them ended up as my clients for a variety of reasons. Lately, they have gotten my attention as I have been noticing some new home construction occurring around the city.
So I thought that I would write a post to say directly them. I want them to know that I would like their business and that I am very good at what I do. If you are a custom home builder in Tucson and you have discovered this post it is because I have specifically targeted you with this post.
Think about this. If I was able to get an SEO blog post onto the first page of Google, do you think I might be able to get your website there as well? I know local marketing, so if you are ready to contract with a proven winner I will get your website high onto the first page of Google multiple times .
I have a 100% success rate getting my clients onto the first page of the Google results for multiple keyword phrases. If you are serious about getting your website noticed then we should be talking.
Update 07/16/2010:
About a month or so ago I wrote a blog post that targeted Custom Home Builders in Tucson. The goal was to grab the attention of the custom home builder. I reasoned, that if I could place a post high onto the first page of Google I might just stir up some new business…. To be continued…

Traditional Marketing Sucks It Really Does
April 27, 2010
Traditional Marketing Sucks – It Really Does
Traditional Marketing Sucks is actually the name of a company that I work with these days as a partner in a new project. TMS will be providing local website solutions for small businesses. It works this way. The company will be providing total DIY website options. This includes a domain name that has been geo-targeted to their market and primary product. They also provide web hosting and a content management system and template. All of this for less than $40.00 a month.
They also provide SEO and link building training and that where I come into the picture. I will be providing this training through videos. So don’t be surprised if you start seeing video appear here soon. I am really excited about this adventure. By the time that you be reading this I should have already produced the introductory videos.
I think my blood pressure jumped a few dozen points while writing this post. I am so excited to be part of this endeavor. I have been wanting to put together a video training course for about a year now. Now, I have the motivation. This program is definitely a winner and that’s why I signed on.
In the process I updated lots of software and hardware and I am having fun again. I love putting on the head phones it takes me back to my high school and college days when I was a disc jockey. I have been writing blog posts feverish lately and then scheduling them. I know that once I start creating videos it will be hard to find the time for it later.
On another point, I have sold traditional marketing, as in radio and newspaper, and it really does suck, especially in local markets.

No I Dont Want To Help You
December 21, 2009
Now, that’s a very odd tittle for me to use. I really do enjoy helping others in a variety of different ways. That is one big reason why I blog. I am an educator at heart. Having said that I have had to say no a lot in this past month. It seems that some individuals think Tucson is a good spot to set up an SEO business. That’s ok with me. I relish the new competition and when I discover my new competition I generally welcome them.
However, I have been saying no a lot lately to these new competitors. They have been calling me on the phone and emailing me quit a bit lately. They want to be direct competitors of mine and they expect that I should not only welcome them but also assist them! They all want my expertise. They want to know everything about the market for SEO in Tucson. Plus they want all of this for free! The best offer that I have received is an offer to lunch! Heck, I have even turned down a paid offers a few months back.
I was amazed when I got the first request, but the requests kept coming. I have had five such requests in the last month alone. I can not fathom where these men are coming from. They want explicit information about SEO and the market conditions in Tucson and they expect that I should be willing to meet their desires. Not only that, they expect this information for free!
All of these individuals start off their conversations by stating that they have noticed that am all over the internet for anything SEO related in Tucson. Of course this is true. But stroking me about how good I am, is only stating the obvious and doesn’t impress me. No ego boost is going to change my mind. I got burnt early on by a web developer here in Tucson and I am extremely cautious. This person hired me do to a project for him with the understanding that I would get all of his SEO work. Problem is the work never arrived. I showed him the ropes and that was it. I was now competing with the person that I had helped. As the saying goes once bitten twice shy.
My response was very straight forward “I have no interest helping someone so they can compete with me.” Everyone who contacted me seemed shocked that the Big Dog of SEO in Tucson didn’t want to assist them and I didn’t care. The economy is tough all over and I am not going to assist someone who may later take bread off my table. So I have become every good at saying No.
Now, having said that I still offer loads of free advice on this blog and off. Last week a woman called requesting assistance on getting her website noticed. The site ended up being a very generic one page website. This person had no money for my services but I spent a very long time talking and educating this woman. The site offers Christian music but the site had no real focus. I spent much of the discussion and providing resources. We also discussed defining her sites keywords. When I asked her to define what her sight was about she could not provide a good answer. I recommended that she do some research with people where she goes to fellowship with to provide her with input about the site and how they might search for her music.
Any website that wants to be successful has to define what their website was about (keywords). I pointed out that if she focused on the keywords “Christian music” that she would have a huge amount of competition. I also explained that she would need lots of time and resources to accomplish ranking well in this area. I further explained that she needed to do lots of research to find out how others would search for her music. I went on to explain that she would need to create an interactive website to be able to take better advantage of her music. I ended up recommending that she consider WordPress.
I really enjoy conversations like this. While I am not producing billable hours I am making a deposit in the bank of good will. I truly believe in what goes around comes around. This isn’t an isolated event. I will assist just about anyone who calls, who is sincere, but generally clueless about SEO and Internet Marketing. By the way, I have saved these folks tens of thousands of dollars in the process and that makes my days!
Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking with it!
We at Tucson SEO Solutions are officially requesting that you join the conversation here. That is, if you found that this post was at all interesting, useful, or perhaps you are just looking for a useful link. Then, I would like to entice you to comment by providing you with useful backlinks as part of what I call “Scratch My Back Marketing.”
We are now using the Scratch My Back Marketing plugin. This anti spam plugin simply requires that your comment be at least 150 characters in length or it is automatically rejected. It’s that simple. We are now forcing commenter’s to do what we were requesting for months on this blog! The blog also uses Keyword and Comment Luv. Please note that if you only include keyword your comment may be used put you will not obtain a link!
The Scratch My Back Marketing requires you to scratch this blog by leaving a useful comment. We then will provide you with an anchor text Do Follow Link. It’s all about win/win marketing. I am willing to exchange page rank for the bump that a fresh comment provides.
Are you ready to exchange comments for links?

The Hassles Of Getting Your Content Stolen
September 5, 2009
Owning a popular and successful website can be a lot of fun. It can also be a lot of work. Then again, It can also be a real big hassle. Today, out of the blue I got a feeling that my content was getting ripped off… again. So I clicked over to Copyscape which I have written about previously on this blog. Copyscape searches the net for possible duplicate content issues.
I have previously discovered stolen content using this site. Then I would later file a DMCA take down report on one offending site. Well, today I found that someone had created Tucson SEO Solutions on Blogspot. Someone was using a Google blogging site to rip off my company name and the content of my home page. Google doesn’t much respect trademarks but it does address stolen content or I sure hope so.
Copyscape also located a Tucson based design company was ripping off my content in adds that they were placing on Backpage .com. I called and left Michael of (deleted – he apologized info removed) and left a message requesting that he stop what he is doing. It’s only a few lines but it includes my signature line. One that I am especially proud of.
Update 07/11/2009 Six weeks later Michael has discovered this post which is buried on page three of the Google results. He finally relented and said that he was sorry in an email today. He also seemed confused about the reference to Snowflake in this post and thought it was a racial slur. No Michael Snowflake is a town in Arizona. I was using basic SEO techniques to target the term Snowflake SEO. Any good SEO provider would know this. Since you don’t understand SEO when you see it how can you then go about selling yourself as an SEO provider. This posts ranks # 5 in the Google results for Snowflake website design. I don’t waste posts Michael I optimize everything that I do.
Update: 07/23/2009 Forgiven! I just hope you learned a lesson Michael! His apology was left as a comment below. He could not bring himself to call or answer his phone when I called. He apologized before in a comment but then he threatened to do it again, if I didn’t remove the post. That’s not what I would call an apology. I am relenting, as he did sound more sincere this time around and I really don’t care anymore. I’ve got plenty of small fires to extinguish elsewhere.
Update 08/22/2009: Well, I recently checked Copyscape and for the very first time it did not show that anyone was ripping off my content. What a relief!
The point here is that you, me, and all of us must protect our content and company name at all times. I read a post a while back that suggested that we protect our business names on all the major sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social sites. I thought it was a good idea but not one that I was ready to implement at that time. I never considered that someone would grab my company name and content and put it on Blogger.
It took a bit of work to figure out how to report someone ripping off your content using Blogger. Trying to contact Google about anything can be a daunting task. After about 20 minutes I figured out the process.
I have already begun the process of creating accounts on many of the major social media sites but that only scratches the surface. Protecting ones name online can be almost a full time job even when you are not being attacked. Think about all the social media sites out there that have blogging capabilities. Now, perhaps, you can get a clearer picture of how big the challenge can be.
I checked this persons other blogs and found that other great sites are getting a similar treatment such as SEOdiva and Bruce Clay along with a few dozen other sites.
As for me, I just don’t get it. I am basically a fairly ethical person and that works well for me. I just don’t get what motivates someone to go after someone else that they have never personally known. When someone does these things for thrills they don’t care about the personal and financial damage that they often inflict. Most of us are small business owners just struggling to stay afloat in these difficult times. We are often not prepared for the cost or time involved to keep on top of things.
Intellectually I understand the thrill and satisfaction they must receive but spiritually and personally I can not. While I don’t believe in revenge I can appreciate the motivation behind such actions. It’s the biblical version of “an eye for an eye.” But just screwing with someone because you can is like a foreign language to me. I can’t understand it.
As for the guy that stolen content for his ads, well that say’s two things to me that he’s not a very good writer and maybe our content is just plain good!
