    Thank you very much, waiting the next method:)

    Jeremy Reply:

    Will be up shortly :)

    Our help desk was jam packed with questions on how to set this stuff up :)

    The other methods that we go over will be a little more “fun” than the first one :)

    Jeremy, I’m already with Hostgator Baby Plan and I was going to upgrade to Reseller Hosting. Do these coupon codes work with an upgradation?

    Thanks!

    Jeremy Reply:

    I really don’t know….

    Try to put the coupon code in and see if it changes the price :)

    As far as I know , hostgator copouns are for new customers only , but hey it’s worth a try right! …….

  3. Oosha Says:

    Will do that, thanks!

    Lol, I just registered a domain and set up hosting with Gator on Friday. Guess I should have held out an extra day for the coupon code hehe.

    Jeremy & Don -

    If we were using the BlueSquares template and had multiple keywords targeted (buy acai berry burn. acai berry burn review, acai berry burn discounts etc - just example - lol)

    Should we create a separate PAGE (not post) for each of those keywords and then create separate linking networks to each page as though they were stand-alone targets? Using our “most important” keyword (buy acai berry burn in this example) as the index page.

    Or would it be better to create a separate CATEGORY for each keyword?

    Thank you
    Gary Fritts

    2nd part of question:

    What are advantages/disadvantages to setting up domain with this wordpress theme as compared to using a web 2.0 property as originally discussed.

    It seems like any new domain might have to overcome the “no trust” factor that might be somewhat avoided by using a Squidoo, Weebly etc as the money page

    Thanks
    Gary

    Hello,

    Interesting side note, I was viewing the replies on here without being logged in.. not the movies though…anyway

    Question for Oosha or staff, this might be answered on the last 5 min. of the webinar which I haven’t listened to yet. Why are you going for a reseller account?

    Does it assist SEO as in different ISP addresses or whatever?

    Thanks,
    GaryL

  7. Oosha Says:

    Gary, as far as I’m concerned, I’m going for Reseller Hosting only because I want to flip websites and it’s easier to transfer hosting to the buyer as well as earn from providing hosting.

  8. a_mansour Says:

    Transfering websites with a normal hostgator account is easy unless you wanted to porvide free hosting as a deal sweetener ..
    Hosting with dedicated ips does carry some SEO value , I’ve done my research and hostexcellence is by far the cheapest , I transfered my websites to them from hostgator few months ago and I never had any problems , the only down side is that you need to pay for yearly contract and they don’t have cpanel so it’s a bit harder for newbies …

    Oosha Reply:

    Mansour, I wanted to shift to reseller only because I thought transferring from the Baby Plan is tough. For now, till I actually start flipping more sites, I’d rather stick to Baby Plan if I can transfer with ease. I want to flip a wordpress site and have no clue how to transfer hosting.

    Are there any tutorials where I can learn how to go about it?

    Thank you very much for the info!

    a_mansour Reply:

    Generally speaking transferring websites between cpanel accounts regardless of where they are hosted is easy and usually done through the backup/import function in the cpanel which backs up all your files AND your databases and then imports them at ease. Personally I don’t do this because it’s either one of two cases for me it’s either I’m moving a static website which is as easy as uploading your files to the new host and pointing the domain to the new DNS or a wordpress blog/forum which will require transferring the database too.
    Transferring wordpress is so easy and if you follow the official guide below you can move it easily to another hosting account that may or may not have cpanel

    Let me know if you still need help with moving wordpress ..

    Good luck!

    Oosha Reply:

    Thanks for that link. I’ll go through it first and get back to you if I have questions.

    Appreciate all the help!

    Can someone help me on this brain freeze…

    When Jeremy says “link squidoo to blogger” does he mean I put my squidoo link on blogger or is it reversed…

    I put my blogger link on squidoo, assumming that squidoo is my first in the network and blogger is the second on the network.

    Like I said, brain freeze here.

    Thanks in advance.

    coaching Reply:

    It doesn’t matter if you link from Squidoo to Blogger or from Blogger to Squidoo. The idea is just to set up multiple pages on variouse freebie sites and link one to the next to the next in a circle but stop short of completing the circle.

    Ex: You can link site 1 to site to 2 and site 2 to 3 then site 3 to site 4 but do not link site 4 back to site number 1.

    All of the sites in the outer circle will also link to whatever page you are using for a “money page” or the main site that you are ultimately trying to get ranked in the search engines.

    The money page can be your own site or blog with your own domain and hosting or it can be any one of the freebie sites that you choose.

    Jeremy:

    Does adding an “Add-on Domain” like you showed, add a subdomain like this:

    AnotherDomain.FirstDomain.com

    OR, like this:

    FirstDomain.com/AnotherDomain

    OR, is it used to add an additional, separate domain name like this:

    AnotherDomain.com ?

    Thanks,
    Johnny

    a_mansour Reply:

    Additional totally separate domain ..

  11. Oosha Says:

    Jeremy,

    I’ve set up offers that are for US/Canada/Australia only. Now when I promote these offers, there are all sorts of visitors from different parts of the world. When someone who isn’t from the above countries clicks on the links to the offer, they are taken to “Survey Scout” or some such page.

    My question is, isn’t that frustrating for people who enjoy our content and click on the links hoping to see something related to what we’ve talked about and they go to a page that makes no sense to them?

    How do I get around this problem. Do I just mention above the links that these links are valid for people from US and Canada only? Or is that not something I should be worrying about?

    I know this is an odd question but something that’s been bothering me for a while.

    Thanks!

    Jeremy Reply:

    Oosha, this is one of those things that we can’t control….

    You could put a little disclaimer in there if you wanted to, but I would not worry about it.

  12. GaryL Says:

    Hello,

    On the Wordpress Landing/money page from bluesquares, can that be used on the same domain with different offers as long if they are not looking at each other?

    Or can the google bots sniff this out somehow if it’s own the same domain?

    Thanks,
    Gary

    Jeremy Reply:

    Gary, I’m not real sure….

    I would like to be able to say no, but it’s hard to tell what BigG can sniff out and what they can’t.

  13. Noah Says:

    Google spiders, as well as any other web crawlers, do not just jump from html to html at random. If you have 100 landing pages, all independent of each other and independent of a hub page (stand-alone pages with ZERO linked pages), the spiders will only see what you send them to via adwords, articles, other websites, etc. If you send them to page #27, they can’t just find pages #26 and #28 on their own. They “crawl” via links you provide them. Hence, the reason you must create a circle of links for them to use.

  14. gaou201 Says:

    Is this blue sqaure template okay when it comes to seo because it is just a simple landing page with no SEO done. Should’nt we be building a complete wordpress site with different keywords as categories OR will this template do the work.

    Thanks

    Jeremy Reply:

    I use it all the time….

    Here is an example of a simple money site that I did with it…
