Honest Marketing Secrets

Hey thanks for popping to check out my blog and be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So, grasshopper, you seek the holy grail of site popularity? Indeed, you are not alone. And you must prove your worth. You must wait, on your knees, in the rain, for many years. Maybe then we will teach you what you wish to know. If you beg. And fetch us some green tea from time to time . . .

Or you can grab the free, 2008 version of the Authority Black Book that was just released a few days ago. I’m sure there are a few folks who will insist on the former option, but hey, whatever flings your shuriken. (*I know, I’m mixing styles and cultures all over the place, but you know you love it!)

In my last post I mentioned the importance of having hosting that never fails you. I also mentioned that even though you may have set yourself up with fantastic hosting, even with one of my recommended hosting companies (Liquid Web for ultimate dedicated and premier shared hosting, and Hostican for lower-priced and huge storage, but still very reliable shared hosting) you still might have your WordPress blog die a sudden death when all those curious Diggers, or Stumblers hit your page because you didn’t know how to prepare for that kind of traffic.

And finally I mentioned a great resource for prepping your blog for massive traffic. There’s nothing that sucks more than finally getting everyone to come see what you’re on about and having the door suddenly slam in their face. Ouch!

Only thing is, that resource I mentioned is pretty technically challenging for all but the more geeky of us and so I was still looking for something a little easier to use.

So imagine how thrilled I was to discover this fantastic plug-in that caches your WordPress blog for you and speeds it up dramatically when heavy traffic comes to call . . . Great! Yes, there may be a little bit of configuring to do, but usually all you have to do is upload and activate.

I’m referring to the marvelous WP Super Cache created by Donncha O Caoimh. If you haven’t installed it yet, what are you waiting for!

All the best,

PS- in case you’re wondering, yes indeed, I’m experimenting with a couple different themes right now and working on a custom one. Don’t wig out though when the appearance changes around a bit. This is an experimental blog where I test all these crazy new ideas and software tools and report back to you on it–so expect lots of change! More about that later . . .
