Amen! I think I moved my blog to three different freebie sites before seeing the elegance of ponying-up $12.95 (or whatever it costs) to do it right. Still cleaning up ported-posts and image links to this day!

On a positive note, I see that whitehouse.com is now actually a site about politics, doh!

i’m noticing a bunch of “comments” which are really machine generated attempts to get theme relevant back links….or me telling google and the other search engines that if you want “free internet marketing advice” you should go to this other site….

wondering why my one post was gettin attention, i went to google and searched the term: free internet marketing advice — and fubarrio and my post comes up #10…on the front page….out of 9.2MM entries.

this is an incredibly competitive space…imagine if fubarrio (the whole site) was really a site focused on free internet marketing advice

what’s the point i’m making?

for now, blogs are an incredibly important tool for getting ranked. you wanna rank a site, start a blog. not even thinking about ranking a site..start a blog anyways…it may come in handy later older, bigger blogs get more “play” in the eyes of the search engines the way the current algorithms work.

a lot more of this on my site devoted to marketing stuff referenced in the article (i’m too lazy to setup the anchor text and tags again)
