Post 8: Fast Google Rankings Project – Round 2?

by Joseph on December 20, 2011

In brief – some of you who have emailed me and yet to receive a reply may be wondering wassup… Well, I’ve still got this virus thing, which is now into its 4th week, and although just yesterday I really did feel some revitalization with regards to focus on my business, physically I’m as near a total wash-out as you can imagine. If I’m out of bed for more than 4 hours or so on the trot, its bed time all over.

The worst of the hot and cold flushes seems to have past by now. I did consult with two doctors here in Kuching, only to be told that yes – I do have a serious viral problem which is causing turbulence with my white blood cells and also inflaming my kidneys, but other than that, no one knows what’s wrong with me.

What to do other than to sit it out and “hope” for improvement?

I’m not one to complain about this sort of thing – there are oh so many folks in this world far worse off than I. Nevertheless, the real “killer blow” is when you are physically spent all the time and mentally incapable of adding 2 and 2 together to get 4. That kinda thing occasionally gets you worried because you start to think your business may be doomed due to your incapacity to even think half intelligently.

Oh, I know – time to crack open the malt whisky and open that fancy box of cigars I bought on the way home from Phuket! I’ll drink to that! icon wink Post 8: Fast Google Rankings Project   Round 2?

 

Let’s get on with the main post…

Indeed you read the title right – the fast rankings Goog project has a second lease of life, which was of course on the cards. The previous rankings have re-materialized – all but one of them, and there’s a newbie ranking on the block also which gets 1.9k global search volume in Goog monthly and is now sitting in 6th spot in Goog US.

Otherwise, the rankings go as follows:

BLG 250 x 250 Backlinks Genie Going Cheap on the High End Account for 2 Weeks OnlyJust after heading on back to Kuching from Phuket (the land of the teeny black trunks and amazingly hot women who are only interested in money) I thought I would bring this special offer to your attention.

Backlinks Genie is going cheap until the end of the year. The offer
provides for a month on the hi end account which normally costs $137 per month, at the reduced price of $67.

Now in my opinion, that is a true steal! But only if you are in the position to take advantage of its potential. If you are not sure if you are in a position to take advantage of its potential, let me know and I’ll give you some feedback about what I think.

Last of my Thailand posts because we really do have to get back to business sooner or later… Today’s post is a bit more risque if you will – a bit more fun and a bit more in keeping with Phuket style, I guess you may say. So, if you are squeamish, please don’t read this post. If you enjoy a bit of fun, then keep reading and enjoy the photos!

 

We went to Phi Phi Island yesterday and although I knew full well it would be very touristy, in some ways I was pleasantly surprised. No, not surprised, but rather – happy that I actually decided to go on the trip and take my gf and her kids too. We all enjoyed it, for different reasons. My gf enjoyed the scenery and the whole experience, the kids enjoyed the young western men, and I too enjoyed the scenery in more ways than one icon wink Final Images of Phuket   Not for the Feint of Heart

 

Let’s get to the photos and I’ll do a little side commentary at the same time.

Maya Bay 300x199 Final Images of Phuket   Not for the Feint of HeartThis was Maya Bay. Silly to bring us here, it really is/was! As beautiful as the place is, you get about 100 boats bringing in over 2000 tourists all at the one time. The beach is merely 400 meters in length. Purely a money-making exercise and not at all well thought out! But to add a bit of humour – check out the big guy in the black over to the left of the image. He looks like he’s trying to blow us out in elephant style. And the guy in the foreground does not look at all pleased… icon wink Final Images of Phuket   Not for the Feint of Heart

Pamelo 300x200 Visit the Land of Old Men with Teeny Trunks and Perfect Tans!And I’m not including me in that description by the way! icon wink Visit the Land of Old Men with Teeny Trunks and Perfect Tans!

(Please – if you live here in Phuket, or some place else in Thailand, please don’t take offence at this, will you! Its merely a “light hearted” observation, and something that most of us were already fairly familiar with anyway).

Okay, the title is a bit harsh, but let’s face facts, there’s plenty of these cool dudes around Phuket! Mind you, there is, at the same time, plenty of utterly gorgeous young ladies “on display”, which I think is a good description really – they are “on display”. Almost all pretty young ladies are attached to some older white skin and we know what’s going on there, don’t we?

But do watch out for the lady boys! By George (or should that be Boy George!) - these folks are often simply stunning! The most perfect bodies you can imagine (well, I’m guessing that’s the case icon wink Visit the Land of Old Men with Teeny Trunks and Perfect Tans! ), and the most wonderful, flawless tans! The only thing that kinda let’s it down a bit is that if you hear them talking, fairly often they’ve got a very deep manly voice. Occasionally fog horn – like, that simply does not fit well with such a wonderfully effeminate body. I guess after a good few beers you can maybe get around the fog horn voice – erm, maybe not! Each to their own however…

 

Onto another matter.

I did say that the internet connection could very well be intermittent in the hotel and indeed that very much is the case. Yesteday morning I woke at 3 am hoping to get some real quality time online whilst my gf and the kids slept. No such luck! There was no internet connection to be found. I persevered with the thing for over an hour and even went down to the reception to see if the duty manager could do something about it, then gave up in pure frustration and went back to bed.

Image below right is me and my girlfriend (Yiing, which literally means “cloud” in Mandarin – yeah, like big black heavy rain cloud icon smile Visit the Land of Old Men with Teeny Trunks and Perfect Tans! ) on the beach here in Phuket. Spot the lack of tan! I figure, when in Kuching do as the Kuchingites do – don’t go sitting out in the mid-day sun.

Fortunately, when I got up some 4 hours later the connection was re-established. Then, after breakfast, I try to get back online Me and Yiing 300x200 Visit the Land of Old Men with Teeny Trunks and Perfect Tans!and its down again. Early evening – 7.20pm and I try and its down again. OMG – this is ridiculous!! Its as well I outsource most of my business these days or I’d be tearing my hair out! Nevertheless, its 3am I managed to get online this morning and I’m trying to rattle through everything before it goes down again. Do you feel someone is playing a game with me or something?

 

Okay that said, what else about Phuket that is worthy of mention other than terrible internet connection and old men in teeny “black” trunks with perfect tans (yup – oddly the only colour to be seen is BLACK! I guess that must be more stud-like??), and what else have I been able to figure out, even though we’ve only been here for a couple of days.

Gotta just slip this in before introducing to you our post writer for today. I’m off to Thailand for a few days as of early (very early!) tomorrow morning and will be “out of town” for a few days.

Not to say I will not be online, but you never do know in this part of the world – you book up a hotel whereby the online write-up tells you there is full internet access through-out the hotel. You get there after a long trip, desperate to check your emails (and refresh to check your paltry AdSense income) and you find that you can’t get access.

You phone through to reception – “sorry sir, the internet is down today“. And funnily enough, its down for the rest of the time you are there, other than the desktop pc in the lobby that constantly has a queue of folks waiting to also check their emails and to write to Aunt Nelly about their travels around SE Asia. You feel like shouting out…”get off the computer – I’m a businessman – have some damn respect!”.

In fact, the last time I had this problem was in central Bangkok, would you believe. And furthermore, would you also believe that the other issue was that I did not have the right power point adapter (no – not MS Powerpoint, I mean power as in electricity power point).

And I could not find one either. The hotel did not have one, the local shops did not have one…

Motto is, always be prepared to be lied to with regards to good bedroom internet access when you come to SE Asia (of course, there are some countries that are the exception – Singapore being an example) and stay in a hotel here, and always carry a travel power adapter!

So, what I’m sayin is – I can’t guarantee I’ll get as much internet access as I would like. Bear with me – I’ll be back within a week – promise! icon wink Are Internet Retailer Credit Cards Really Worth It?

In today’s blog post I want to put a scenario to you, then I want to ask you a couple of questions about how best to proceed. I know some people have far more experience of this than others, but please – all thoughts and ideas are more than welcome so don’t be afraid to put your own point of view across, will ya!

Okay – most of you know that I purchased a website back about 4 weeks ago. At the time I could see the potential for it, even though I know absolutely nowt/nada/nothing/nuffink about the subject matter. The gent who sold it to me is actually a very good “customer” of mine, so I most surely offered him what I thought was a very fair price for it, given the then current monthly income and the then current rankings in Goog of this particular website.

Fast forward some 4 weeks or so and we are in early December. As to be expected, Amazon sales are lucid – not flying off the shelves as of yet, but still decent enough to be pleasing.

Furthermore, the rankings for the site have improved nicely, and I’m now really focusing in on gaining a much stronger foothold in Google’s top echelons, whilst at the same time, taking it easy so as not to rock the apple cart and end up being dumped down. For that to happen in this case could be near to disaster, so I’m being very methodical in my backlinking strategies I can tell you!

 

There-in is the scenario, now the dilemma that I would courteously ask you for your input.
