    This is a nice way to vent out ...
    i think the site is cool......i guess the reason for recommending 3 column theme is to monetize your site..do u want to do so? if yes, then go for 3 columns, else as per your content, site is okay..!! Cheers!!

    Hey

    I like the darkness of it. My thoughts.

    *I agree with the 3 column so you can put some ads on it

    *The cut off of the word "hate" in the header for some reason throws me off

    *Something I always comment on is shortening each post to show a couple of sentences so the person has to click on the post to keep reading. Then putting Google ads on each post.

    *Shorten each page to a couple posts so you can utilize more ads on the left and right side (if you get the 3 column).

    *How about a Poll so people have something to interact with. Questions like "what pisses you off the most" or something.

    *How about some links on the right for stuff like proper etiquette. Funny stuff like "how to control your temper" "Why rubbernecking is bad" "DMV rules on passing on a two lane road"

    I just love the content. Its angry, frustrating but honest.

    Hey Steve you gotta long way to go my man. Scrap it and start again. :) Nobody is going to find that site in the Serps. It does not use any keywords in the Domain name. None in the Title, none in the heading, none in your in your content. Which by the way sux? ::cool:

    How many people do you think are rally interested? in that rubbish and foul language? You need to offer people valuable content. FYI You broke every rule of setting up a website online? lol

    Try teaching and writing or sharing about something you know a bit about like a hobby or one of your interests aside from being p#$%ed off and using swear words. Move on....

    When you find your niche (your subject) use the keyword tool here on the site to get 20 keywords with low competition and good searches.

    This is call SEO for your website so that people can find you on the Internet by typing in keywords.

    Use one keyword to go in your domain name to get searchers and type in traffic. e.g. if you write about "dog training" search for twenty keywords that get 300- 5,000 searches.

    You won't use "dog training" because "every man and his dog" are using it? And it has too much competition. :)

    However' you might use a keyword like "Training a Pitbull" which is a sub niche and should give you a lot of good keywords. Your domain name that you buy from Namecheap or Godaddy or wherever? would then be

    http://trainingapitbulldotcom you get the idea- right? right!

    Your content on your page will have a heading with the keyword in it. e.g.

    Training a Pitbull - 5 Mind Blowing ways

    Your content will have the keyword Training a Pitbull in the first line and Training a Pitbull in the last line? And sprinkled throughout your article. Write 500 - 700 words and have a key word inserted for every 100 words

    e.g. 500 words = 5 keywords Training a Pitbull in the article including the one in your title- so 4 in the body and 1 in the title. Do not put more than 2% of your keywords (or keyword phrase) in your articles or Google will penalize you.

    Remember the most important one is in your domain name trainingapitbulldotcom With your other 19 keywords write 19 articles of original content and slap those on your site. Google will love you and send traffic to your site.

    Whenever John or Jane Doe comes online looking for how to train a Pitbull and he or she types in "Trainingapitbull" Guess who's site Google is going to send them to? Yes- trainingapitbulldotcom- your site.

    There are a few other things you need to know. However, this is more than enough to get you well and truly on your way and to SEO (Search Engine Optimize) your website.

    You can do a Google Search of my name and this phrase (without the quotes) "Philip Randall Expert Author" and you will see I am a bit of an expert at this.

    That is for anyone who needs help. You can be certain that the info is solid and dependable and- usually way more expensive :cool:

    Be good... Phil

    It is okay. Only thing I feel is you can change the color of the page. It make me feel like it is a horror blog.

    why the blog is about "hate"? personally i go on the main page and it doesnt makes me feel good emotionally.. as the word "hate" is so big and prominent rest is ok, maybe you should focus on other words than hate

    Hello Novem 88 you and everyone are so welcome. All my 30 or so sites rank well in the serps bar about one. Some are ugly but they are first in Google and Yahoo at the same time. Some are first in Bing and all my articles are on the first page of Google.

    I have a couple more skills to add to your marketing quivers. Make sure to bold, italicise or underline your main keyword(s) throughout the body of your article. And link back to your previous page with anchor text.

    i.e. if your first page is "Training a Pitbull" and your new page uses the keyword "Pitbull Rap dancing," somewhere in your "Pitbull Rap dancing" page; and content link back to the previous page with anchor text.

    Do that in every one of your pages. Link back once only and do not do it more than once in each page. These are giving a one way link back to all your pages and networking them.


    One more arrow in your SEO quiver. If you are using adsense to monetize your blog or website. Keep your pages clean and pristine for two weeks and you will get indexed quicker than if you put adsense or affiliate links in your pages from day one. Try it and see if you like.

    But the underlying thing here is; Google hates affiliate links and it loves original content and yep it loves value and the best experience for its searchers.

    This strategy meets all three of these requirements and Google will give you lotsa love and index you faster.

    All Good The Fall Guy Phil :)
