Well thank you Google! I mean it. It is important to say that at the start as I am drawing attention to myself by writing about this.
My blog has not been about long but here it is with a PR4 by Google. Those of you in the know will appreciate that it is a real badge of honour to get PR4 and above.
I like to think that I have deserved it as I have been doing all the solid stuff – writing articles and submitting them to the Article Directories. Some of the articles have links back to this blog which means that I must have built up some pretty useful high ranking links.
I really do get tired of all the hyped up Internet Marketing – latest must have – instant traffic generating without effort – build a website with 1000 articles in ten minutes – type of guff.
There are a handful of Internet Gurus who’s opinions I respect – and they take the solid – good content – steady growth approach.
So here is living proof – I haven’t relied on any gimmicks – I haven’t even worried about keyword selection or density. All I have done is written from the heart and with the appropriate research if I needed additional material.
My reward – a PR4 rank in record time for me (don’t forget I have been building websites since 1992)
So – thank you Google – I really DO mean it.
About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
