OMG! Look At These Search Results!

PotPieGirl — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:47:05 +0000

I know, I know – it’s not like me to post again so soon, but I just saw something in the Google search results that makes me laugh my a$$ off. Let me show you just how bad things have gotten…. OR, it’s a sign that another storm is coming… So I wandered over to [...]

A Tale of a Tornado…and a Penguin

PotPieGirl — Sun, 20 May 2012 06:37:42 +0000

This is yet another one of my posts that will start out with something that seems totally unrelated to the topics I normally talk about. But, if you hang in there with me you will (hopefully) see my connection and why I choose to tell this story. Once upon a time, way back in 1994, [...]

Benched By Penguin?

PotPieGirl — Wed, 09 May 2012 21:32:48 +0000

I read an interesting sports news story the other day. There’s this hockey team, the Nashville Predators, who had two very important players break a team rule…so the coaches BENCHED those 2 players (meaning those 2 players have been put in “time out” and aren’t allowed to play). That, in itself, doesn’t sound that interesting [...]

Ok – Let’s Talk Negative SEO

PotPieGirl — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:36:39 +0000

I really had another post topic in mind today that had nothing to do with Google, but I’ll wait on that. Seems the ‘hot topic’ is Negative SEO at the moment and I’m getting a lot of alarmed questions coming my way about it. So, let’s talk about it. First off, what IS “negative [...]

The Real Reason I Broke Up With Google

PotPieGirl — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:41:17 +0000

My last post about me breaking up with Google caused a lot of conversation…as well as some speculation as to WHY I ‘broke up’ with Google and WHAT that means now. Am I leaving the business? Am I no longer going to ever consider Google traffic and ranking again? No, I am NOT leaving the [...]

The Art of Letting Go (of Google)

PotPieGirl — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:49:42 +0000

There comes a point in many relationships that one realizes that it’s time to let go… time to move on. It’s hard – especially when you’ve been conditioned to feel as tho you NEED that relationship. It’s a scary place to be when you know deep down that the relationship needs to end, but you [...]

Article Marketing, Guest Blogging and Panda – WTH?

PotPieGirl — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:02:30 +0000

Recently over in the Warrior Forum there was a thread started that questioned if guest posting could cause Google to penalize a site and trigger the oh-so-popular-now “we found unnatural links” message from Google. The thread caught my attention because I was very curious as to how legitimate guest posting could cause an unnatural back [...]

OMG! The Sky Is Falling!?!?!

PotPieGirl — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:48:13 +0000

So – blog networks are dead now, right? That means the sky is falling, right? Well, if you know me at all, you know I do NOT subscribe to the whole “sky is falling/end of the world” mentality. Changes happen, we go with the changes – that’s how we roll, right? So let’s talk about [...]

Let’s Talk Taxes and Bookkeeping!

PotPieGirl — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:22:35 +0000

Taxes – woohoo, right? Bookkeeping, double woohoo…lol! I know this is not the favorite topic for the self-employed (or anyone, for that matter), but it’s a fact of life (ugh). So, if you’re an affiliate marketer or any type of online business owner, how do YOU keep your accounting records? I’d like to show you [...]

SOPA and You…and Me – My Thoughts

PotPieGirl — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:48:45 +0000

So, I’m gonna go out on a limb here. As I’ve said before, I am NOT a political person. Every time I dive into something political, I end up realizing how politics really work…and it annoys the you-know-what out of me. But let’s talk SOPA ( the Stop Online Piracy Act that everyone is talking [...]

Weirdness in the Google Search Results

PotPieGirl — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:10:27 +0000

So today I was searching on Google when I suddenly got a very strange search result page. I feel I was in a “sandbox” testing ground (read how Google Makes Algo Changes for more explanation on that), but I’m telling ya – if this weird search result page I saw is any sign of what’s [...]

Matt Cutts Debunked Me

PotPieGirl — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:35:57 +0000

So tonight I am minding my own business and sitting on Twitter trying to catch up on some cool Tweets and industry info. Suddenly a tweet from Matt Cutts to ME pops up on my stream. (In case you don’t know, Matt Cutts is the head of web spam at Google). He let me know [...]

How To Move a WordPress Site (or clone it)

PotPieGirl — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:08:20 +0000

I don’t consider myself a lazy person for the most part, but I will admit that when it comes to anything technical – I avoid it like the plague. I’m probably the only person in this house who still really doesn’t know how to work the remote (and we have little kids ’round here) and [...]

Why Are You On THAT List?

PotPieGirl — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 05:38:03 +0000

Once upon a time, I was new to all this… And – I was REALLY new. I didn’t know squat about internet marketing or HTML or back links or writing articles. Heck, for all I knew, FTP was the same as ABC or MTV (yes, I am child of the early 80′s when MTV was [...]

Wanna Succeed With Internet Marketing? Be a Baby

PotPieGirl — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 01:42:28 +0000

When you’re new to all this internet marketing mumbo-jumbo, the internet becomes this massive confusing place full of terms you don’t understand yet, people giving conflicting advice, and tons of choices. It is SO easy to become paralyzed and full of fear with an inability to take any action at all. Been there/done that. So [...]
