It’s time, time for some Link Love!
We had a very busy week last go-round, and I had to get a rush of sponsored posts out the door in time. Despite this, we had a very productive showing of interested readers to the “how to” post I started on how to make your own GPT company. Part two is coming this week, so stay tuned for that, and in the meantime we have our contest sponsored by Motive Interactive to announce. The results of Jimvesting’s Fight to End Poverty are coming out this week, so stay on your toes if you entered! Before we get more into this, let’s talk about the best of last week:
- Pot Pie Girl – How to Squidoo
- Garry Conn – How to Make Money Online Selling Domain Names
- Winning The Web – Internet Marketing: Why You Need Quality over Quantity
- Enkay Blog – Seeing Your Blog as a Money Maker?
- Caroline Middlebrook – Article Re-Writing for Article Marketing
Pot Pie Girl starts us off with one of the biggest Squidoo resource posts that I have ever seen. If you’ve ever wanted to know about the service and how to improve the way you use it, this is the article for you! Garry Conn gives a great walk-through to selling domain names for profit on the internet, with an interesting case study in tact. Winning The Web discusses the need for quality traffic over sheer quantity, which is always an important thing to keep in mind. Enkay blog talks briefly about how you can see your blog as a money maker, without crossing that line of excess. Finally, Caroline Middlebrook rounds us out with a piece on article re-writing for boosting your traffic with article marketing.
Stock Market Update
Stocks sold off again this week… reaching new lows on practically a daily basis. Sure, more bad news has been coming out on a pretty consistent basis, but I am not convinced that this is why the markets are selling off. If that is true, then why exactly are markets around the globe crashing? Uncertainty.
While this is just my opinion, I believe that we really started to sell off on a news basis. For example, GDP comes out worse than expected and we sink the market 5% on the day. However, right now the markets are trading rather irrationally. To explain this, there are really just more people willing to sell then there are buyers. The reason for this is that there is no reason for confidence in the markets. If we could restore consumer confidence, this would greatly accelerate our nations GDP because consumer confidence is a huge indicator of consumption. President Obama discussed today some reasons for optimism in the system, and everyone is really trying their best to rally the markets. Unfortunately, investors aren’t buying… and instead are using the false calls for optimism as a weapon to derail the markets even further on speculation.
We are in a mess, but with stocks like GE trading at ridiculous sub $10 levels… I am almost ready to start pulling the trigger. This, of course, is directly against what everyone is telling you to do. However, I think that the contrarian theme will be huge in the next few months as we start to see things (hopefully) improve.
Blogosphere Update
Sorry for the delay, but yes, we have concluded Jimvesting’s Fight to End Poverty competition and will be releasing results this week. Thanks for everyone who participated, and 
best of luck for those in the blogger entry! A few developments happened in the blogging world this week, so let’s get into the good stuff!
I have joined up with an internet marketing training seminar called “PPC Classroom.” No joke, everyone loves this program so since they were giving it away for FREE… I just had to get in on it. If you want to learn how to make profits in affiliate marketing, I highly suggest that you join up and learn along with me. If you can make money online by marketing products (and even potentially a six figure income or more), I say take that opportunity. If you want to join in, I highly encourage you to use my affiliate link. Oh, and hurry because it is only available a few more days!
One of my best online buddies Ian Fernando released a brilliant product for twittering your way to success! I’m sure that many of you have heard of Twitter, the increasingly popular social media system. Well, you can apparently use this to your advantage and get ridiculous amounts of hits from the service. I grabbed a copy quick (bargain bin pricing!) of Ian Fernando’s Twitter Traffic Exposed and have already tried it out. I gotta tell you, I didn’t know what Twitter was capable of, and I am already getting huge traffic and increased comments (yes, more comments!) to Bullish Bankers today alone, my first day after purchase, as a result.
So there’s my due diligence, eh? For the week upcoming, I will be wrapping up my two part series on starting your own GPT website and compiling them in a nice eBook for your reference hopefully. Additionally, I am going to, starting Saturday, devote an entire week to getting more traffic to your websites. Heck, maybe I’ll take two weeks with a new tip each day… and not too much “fluff” material I promise!

I want to increase links on my some old sites because google update the pr and change some algorithm, and my some keywords are drop down in ranking. And I am also a big link lover.
Thanks

Good links! I do “link love posts” sometimes as well and it works really good.Those who I link to will often return the favor and everyone is happy!
Hey Jim! Thanks for the shout out to Motive Interactive announcing our March Madness with Publisher Challenge. I just thought I would post the link here for anyone interested in singing up. So far the contest is going strong, but we would love to see a few more people playing for the top prizes!
Thanks again! Aaron.

Good Link love Jim,. I have already joined the PPC class room. Huh!lots of emails from them in my inbox.
Hi Jim,
Great posts. I love the one from PotPie, need some basic on squidoo to make my first lens.
Hi Jim! I don’t think you write fluff material at all
Every post seems to be packed with useful tips that you could practically string them all to make a good book…Just want to add that Pot Pie girl, in my opinion is really one of the best Squidoo lensmasters around.
Thanks for the link to Pot Pie Girl’s Squidoo resource. Excellent information.
“Unfortunately, investors aren’t buying…” – IMO this has a lot, not everything but a lot, to do with the psychology of doom and gloom that the media is shoving down our throats. I’m sure if there were investors jumping out of high rise office buildings they’d be gleefully parading those stories before us and cackling about how horrible the markets are.
Great links i frequent a few of those blogs and they always have great content – you also had a few hidden gems that i hand t visited before.
