What does Joel Comm mean when he says “We’re living in the good old days”. I thought the “good old days” are what people try to get back to, but can never quite get there. How “good” is it, really, when half the world is in debt up to their eyeballs and just one missed paycheck away from being kicked out into the street. Gas is at prices we never thought we would see, forcing most of us to cut back on driving or use grocery money to fill the gas tank. And every time we hear the news they tell us there is worse to come.

When you think about it, there are always those who seem to do well despite the conditions in the overall economy. No doubt about it, thousands or even millions of people are at the mercy of their employers or the government to keep them out of the poorhouse. On the other hand, there are those who are seemingly able to rake in the cash despite the gloom and doom on the news.

Maybe it is possible to stand apart from the crowd and imitate the “gurus” who have cracked the code and dialed in the system for generating serious money.

Like John Reese – though smart as they come, college couldn’t hold his interest. After flunking out, he labored in a video rental store while building his business. He owed over $100,000 in credit card debt at his lowest point, and his friends and relatives may have thought he would fall through the cracks like so many other dreamers. Once he put all the pieces together… he became the cash generating machine that we know today.

Keith Wellman’s story is familiar. Deep in debt and a family to support with his dead-end job, Keith was desperate. He even blasted Mike Filsaime publicly on Filsaime’s blog for taking advantage of his own desperation and hope. It wasn’t long before Wellman had to eat his words in a big way, as he is now a very successful entrepreneur with a lifestyle that others only dream about. Hey, if you can’t beat ‘em, why not join ‘em?

In his disarmingly illuminating style, Joel Comm profiles these individuals plus more than 30 others in his book Click Here to Order: Stories of the World’s Most Successful Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs.
With the same intensity that produced his New York Times Best Selling book The Adsense Code, Joel dissects the paths that dozens took to jump on the internet marketer’s bandwagon.

While Joel is no John Grisham (yet), his book reads like one of Grisham’s novels; Joel’s subject matter is just fascinating. You don’t want to miss getting your copy.

P.S. Joel Comm’s new book is the first to put over forty internet marketing entrepreneurs under the microscope. All the cool kids will be getting their own copy.

It looks as if the latest page rank update is complete. Despite Matt Cutts’ recent declaration that some earlier penalties will be revoked, several of my websites are still languishing at Page Rank 0 due to their previous association with the infamous PayPer Ppost embedded code. All links with that company were severed over six months ago but these quality blogs have still not recovered.
I have another domain that gets the highest traffic counts of all my sites and that has Page Rank 1, but that has stayed the same in the latest page rank review. I was disappointed because I post quality articles on that blog at least three times a week and I have worked hard on optimizing it. Maybe nex time …. The good news for me was that a new travel blog that I launched on 13 June has achieved Page Rank 1, not bad for a site that is only six weeks old. I got this site indexed by Google in four days and I have posted detailed posts at the rate of more than two per week ever since.
Why do I care so much about Page Rank? Because I believe that higher ranked sites will always do better in organic search results. Higher PR = higher SERPS ranking.

I am sorry, I have had to remove the comments facility from this site until I can work out a way to protect it from automated registrations. These are carried out by hackers, who then proceed to upload spam links or, even worse, malicious software, on to the site. I only discovered this today and since then I have been through a fast learning curve to fnd out what ‘Badware’ means. As I was browsing through my site stats this morning I noticed several searches for specific pages and categories within my site. For example, one search showed
“http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Abrilliant4biz.com%20pr”
That search brought up a post from last October, plus a warning from Google that “visiting this web site may harm your computer”! I was horrified, to say the least. I was a victim of spam links a few months ago when spammers managed to load up reams of porn links on to some html pages, but I thought my Wordpress posts and pages were reasonably secure. Only one blog post was hacked, but the category and monthly archive containing that post are also carrying a Google Health warning at the moment. Now I will have to search around for a suitable plugin to allow legitimate comments to be posted without giving the spammers and hackers a way in.
That was not the case - strange new users were registering them on the site and although I deleted them as soon as I saw them, they still had time to do their worst. The reason for this dilemma is that Wordpress only allows two options in its settings - either “anyone can register themselves” or “users must be registered and logged in to comment”

These are the actions I have taken to restore my website to its former good standing:

1. I visited Google Webmaster Tools, where the site is registered, and followed their guide to checking for malware on my site. The good news is that Google had NOT found any harmful software on its last two visits. I then put in a request for the site to be reconsidered.

2. I checked out the guides at the stop badware site - which really was not very helpful for the average webmaster - prbably very easy for hackers to understand, but the content did not tell me how to identify Trojans or malicious software on my site

3. I visited badneighborhood.com, which has a very useful free tool to scan the links on your website, and on the pages that your website is linking to, and flag possible problem areas. All you do is type in the URL of the home page and the results appear within 90 seconds. These will flag up any sites that could possibly be involved in search engine spamming. You may not be aware of these sites: for example, you could link to a respectable site but they may have links with a site involved in the adult or pharmaceutical fields, and thus harm your website’s position. I am pleased to say my site got a clean bill of health at Bad Neighborhood to day.

I have to admit that,when I am not blogging, I do like a flutter. I have always liked watching the horses - and maybe trying to predict the winner, but recently I have found a new game of chance. When you have not got time to go there in person, you can play bingo online and have a lot of laughs at 888ladies. Their website, www.888ladies.com, has been offering some great bet-related prizes that really make the winners feel special. Imagine getting a free trip to Ladies’ Day at Ascot in a chauffeur driven limo with spending money thrown in. try it today and check all the freebies on offer.

If you enjoy a game of chance then you must be familiar with the Casino-on-Net website, at www.888.com. This award winning site is a popular place for sophisticated online gambling and with their latest addition, Extra Games, they have maintained their cutting edge and top position. Not only will you enjoy playing, you couls also be in line for serious winnings with their Progressive Jackpots. These are edging up to the $2m mark as I write. If you want a chance to win go across to the site and see what the fuss is about.

My posts about XL Results Foundation Life Membership have sparked some debate here recently. Things really hotted up after a recent comment from a woman who was about to join XL after attending Roger Hamilton’s Business Breakfast Presentation in Melbourne. On returning home she decided to do some research on Roger Hamilton and his XL Results Foundation. When the search results served up my blog post, she was alarmed and left a long comment explaining her concerns about the sum - $12,000 - that she had almost paid over. Since that comment there have been contributions from other former XL members and those who had almost joined, expressing scepticism over the value of the offer. Some of these members asked me not to pub lish their comments as they were nervous of going public, and I have used their material as sources for this article. These comments brought several long and involved comments from the XL Results Regional Manager in Melbourne, Jeanette Jifkins, who was clearly very upset that others were not enthralled with her company. There have been other contributions from Paul Dunn, whose Ecademy profile says he ‘runs XL in Australia and he’ll soon be taking XL to America’, in staunch defence of XL’s charitable achievements.

Let me make it quite clear why I have written reports about this business opportunity. The offer to the potential member is membership of a network of entrepreneurs, and extensive training opportunities, whose quality is not independently verified or accredited. New prospects do not get a chance to study the contract terms before signing up, they are swept up in the moment by a persuasive presentation. They are often left to reflect on the implications of this decision only after they have parted with a substantial sum in hard cash. Paul Dunn has asserted in one of his comments that there is a cooling off period for new recruits. I would like to see evidence of that.

I do not view XL as a classic pyramid scheme, but I think others are labelling it that way because they do not see the Life Membership package offering a value to justify its high price - why is there not an annual membership option? This company has been in existence for less than a decade, it is privately owned so what guarantee do members get on the prospects of it existing in another ten years? If I decide to join any Chamber of Commerce or similar organisation in Britain there is a set annual membership fee, and at the end of a year’s membership I decide to renew if the organisation has given me value for money.

When I attended the XL Results presentation the big selling point was the scope for getting freelance work from other life members. Most freelance consultants spend their lives chasing more contracts, and I heard a lot of sad stories at the last Ecademy members’ event. So if a carrot is dangled in front of a hungry consultant, they are very likely to go for it. None of us know if our next contract will be our last and a carefully designed pitch can prey on those anxieties, making us think that life membership of XL Results Foundation is a possible answer to our problems. But of course there is no guarantee of any work and none of the comments in support of XL have given any proof of income generated through membership of the foundation. Charitable work is all well and good but this is meant to be a business networking organisation. The proof of a business organisation should be just that - real, tangible business results for its members.

The XL organisation business model seems weighted towards getting money from new members, instead of improving the value of the membership package. If the company wants transparency (as they have requested from me) then I would like to see them publish full detailed accounts of its revenue sources. They should also be able to show independently verified examples of members who have obtained worthwhile contracts and expanded their business as a direct result of their membership of the foundation.

Yesterday we received an alert from Natalia that Roger Hamilton has begun selling the infamous XL Results Foundation Life Memberships in Melbourne Australia at breakfast meetings around the city. Roger Hamilton is charging A$15,500 and those attending were told that membership are ’strictly limited’. Well, those limited spots are on sale in major cities every day of the week, so I think the only thing in short supply is the number of people willing to pay up.

If you signed up and realised your mistake after leaving the meeting, you are not alone. The presentation is designed to lead you to pay up on the promise that you will be entering an ethical organisation. You will be told that members refer valuable business among themselves, and everybody can be trusted. Sounds great? In fact, one of the guests in Melbourne was David Schirmer, a scammer of monumental proportions - he is a target of investigation by the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC). He is also currently being taken to court by investors who were duped into investing in his Life Success Pacific Rim company with the promise of returns as high as 500 per cent. The investors lost everything while Schirmer continues to live in the lap of luxury. If  a character like David Schirmer is associated with the ‘Circle of Trust’, hold on to your wallet - very tightly!  You can see a video investigation of David Schirmer at Get Rich Slowly - a site full of sound advise and exposes of major scams.

If you are a disgruntled member of the XL Results Foundation, please leave a comment here or if you would like to make contact with others who have been scammed - in confidence - you can email your details to me: flora@brilliant4biz.com.

As a blogger making my living from home, of course I want to get my sites to the front page of the search engine results for my chosen keywords. But I confess, that first step is the hardest part of internet marketing for me - how to find profitable keywords that will bring visitors to my site. I have tried using all the conventional tools, and I have spent a lot of money on expensive software that has just not worked for me. It does not matter how well I write my web pages and blog posts, how many great offers my readers can find, the most important step is the very first one - finding your niche. I seemed to be climbing a mountain constantly and never reaching the top.

Then, a week ago, I found out about a piece of software, Micro Niche Finder, that helps you make sure you are on the right summit. I have now used Micro Niche Finder for one of my sites, which was languishing on page three for most of its keywords. Once I used the Niche Finder, that same site reached No 1 in 48 hours.

This is one of the most versatile keyword software packages I have used, and I have hardly left my screen for days because I just keep finding lucrative new niches for my blogs! The holy grail of any webmaster is to find an area with a good quantity of searches and little competition. You can download the package immediately to start increasing your online income today. If you need to find out more, have a look at these step by step videos that show exactly how you can home in on red hot niches.

I have tried all the other packages available - Wordtracker, IBP Arelis, Google Adwords finder, Nichebot, SEO Elite, GoodKeywords - NONE of them is as effective or as easy to use as Micro Niche Finder.

I signed up for Blogpayz paid to post site in February, completed one assignment offered by them - paying $1.70 - and waited for more.  Then things went very quiet: they paid the money on time, but my dashboard remained empty.  Later I was offered another paid blogging assignment for $2, but at that price it is not really worthwhile.  Today I heard that Blogpayz has more bloggers signed up and they are hoping to offer a minimum payout of $5 per post.  That will be welcome and I hope the service takes off.

Yesterday I did a quick search to see if any other promising new paid to blog sites had popped up nd i came across Blogvertiser. They are in pre-launch stages, you can sign up and wait for updates.  I have left my details for one blog and I look forward to getting some paid reviews from them.
