What is SEO? Explained in Layman Terms.
Posted by: | CommentsSEO seems like some lofty term that’s tossed around by snooty internet marketers sipping Cristal thumbing their noses on those who don’t know what it means…
Well, for the record, SEO stands for search engine optimization and anybody in any industry can do it (that means MLM, network marketing, real estate… ANYTHING) as long as they have a website of course…
So what I’ve done is put together an elevator pitch of what SEO is (in layman terms – never mind the technical mumbo jumbo). So next time you see a circle of snobby online marketers, you can look smart and pretend to fit in ^^

Congratulations to SEO Networker Graduates!
Posted by: | CommentsJust finished off our final SEO Networker Mastermind webinar last night. PHEW! 15 weeks of content (plus 2 more interviews we will be providing our students)… that’s a lot to teach and a TON to absorb.
I want to thank our students for sticking with us and giving us the privilege of passing on our teachings to them. I also want to encourage them to digest every single tidbit of information we provided (even if that means going over each webinar over and over again – after all, you have lifetime access now). By the same token, I encourage each of you to explore all the different facets and options to our teachings – discover different strategies and ways of doing “things”.
And then share with us in our SEO Networker Mastermind Forum!
Lastly, don’t forget, knowing means nothing without implementation. So be sure to implement!
Best of luck and congrats once again.

Wordpress SEO
Posted by: | CommentsWhen it comes to SEOing, some important on-page factors you want to keep in mind include:
- title tag
- meta keyword tag
- meta description tag
There are a bunch of others but these three are good starting points. If you are using Wordpress and wishing to SEO your website that you probably know that
- the default Wordpress installation does NOT have meta keyword and description tags
- All in One SEO Pack is a kick-ass plugin for Wordpress that enables meta keyword and description tags (thereby fixing #1)
What you may NOT know is that if you have a theme that’s “SEO friendly”, there’s a good chance that it adds in its own meta keyword/description mechanism. And odds are, it’s not as flexible as the All in One SEO Pack plugin.
So what do you do? You keep All in One SEO Pack to cover your bases…
Here’s the kicker, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with DUPLICATE meta tags (depending on the theme/options, it could mean duplicate meta keywords AND description).
For example, in my ChatToText review post, with the Flexx Theme installed along with All in One SEO Pack, I see TWO meta keywords and description tags:
Meta Tags #1 (From the Theme)
Meta Tags #2 (From All in One SEO Pack)
Well That’s No Good! Duplicate Tags Just End Up Confusing the Search Engines!
So given the fact that I like All in One SEO Pack’s SEO capability a lot better than the theme’s default SEO option, I wanted to find out how I can disable the theme’s SEO feature.
Unfortunately, there was no “easy-non-technical” solution.
What I ended up having to do is do some quick research on Google to find out how to disable the theme’s SEO feature. This involved tweaking the header.php file of that theme. You might end up having to do the same depending on your theme.
So take a minute and check out your blog’s source code to see if you are having duplicate meta tag issues – then fix it!
