Why Midas Shoes has no idea about Social Media
Midas Shoes? I bet you have no idea who Midas Shoes is… and you are right for not knowing that brand.
Midas shoes is just another brand of shoes, but the difference is that that type of shoe was the shoe that Prime Minister Julia Gillard was wearing the day of the horrible attacks by Aboriginal protesters on the last Australia day.
So if you are reading this from outside Australia this is the deal:
Can I take down YellowPages.com.au?
Hey! I have an idea, what about If I take down Yellow Pages.com.au ?
Seriously… just me, from home, here in my home office looking at my garden. What about If I take down YellowPages by producing something so freaking amazing that anyone that looks at YellowPages thinks… mmm Gab’s stuff is better.
So let me do quick brainstorming and analyse why Yellowpages.com.au sucks.
1. Corporate look, boring user experience.
2. The info provided by Yellowpages is mainly one thing. DATA.
8 Reasons why you are not making money online
Last month was my biggest month ever from a financial point of view. You see my wife is a Nurse Manager making a nice salary, well last month my tiny (microscopic ) business made in 3 weeks the equivalent of 7 months of my wife’s salary.
CRAZY.
Am I bragging?
No. I don’t brag. But I want to share… you see, I don’t blog about making money online…. but I think people out there that try to hire an SEO company or an SEO consultant, forget the basic principles about making money online.. (and how the people that really make money online really do it.)

Like Google, Karma is a b*tch that hates Mediocrity
When you work online it seems people forget that everything you do, get’s recorded.
Where?
Recorder somewhere, recorder in a place where “life” is just waiting to pull that “article” “blog comment’ “link” or “old email” where you cut corners.
I know about it, because when I started to make money online, I was playing to game of “quick bucks”, thin sites… or creating sites that didn’t made a dam different to anyone out there….
Harvey Norman Direct Imports: A predictable failure
In Internet Marketing MONEY is not everything. You need to have charisma, you need to have balls, you need to have something different….
in 2012 I worked with many businesses online, some of them failed as business models, some of them became a raving success…. in fact many of them became so successful that I became intrigue to learn (and understand) the REAL REASON behind their success.
And before you think: SEO, Budget, or Customer Experience… the reason may be different:

Time for a break: end of 2011 is here (for me)
So I’m taking a small break for 6 weeks. No more SEO chat. No more talking about links and about ranking. No more talking about what “really works” .
Instead time to go to the beach, watch Sebastian in Tennis lessons (my 6 year old … next Australian Champion) and take Dominic (my 2 year old son) to our local swimming pool.
Time to read more amazing books that has nothing to do with Google.
How to Get Page Rank 5 in less than 2 months
The importance of Google PR from Google…
“PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.
PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value.
Why Paul Edmondson CEO of HubPages is wrong and right at the same time
When the Panda Update happened, one of the biggest websites affected was HubPages.
If you haven’t been living on planet earth for the last 10 years, HubPages is the Squidoo alternative … where you as a member write information about whatever and try to become part of a community “driven” by “quality”.
I like HubPages… building a hub it’s easier than building a squidoo and it feels more “connected” to the community.

Why people like me make it in this industry and other ones fail?
What some people start doing SEO and then they move to web design… or to PPC… or the facebook.
Why not they stick with SEO?
Just 12 months ago I was competing vs 15 other guys… now only 4 … and 300 new ones the other left… quit… said Good-bye or became logo designers (joke)

Link Building With A Purpose
OK, so after my last rank about the SEO spammy company, let’s now go back to basics…
One of the most common questions that novice SEOs ask is the question.
What is the main purpose of link building for your site?
There are two things to consider when you are doing link building.
Behind Some Lovely SEO Company Emails
My business is well… booming… and in fact I can’t take more SEO work at the moment and in many cases I have to refer some SEO work to other SEO professionals.
That’s why I wonder why other SEO companies seem to be struggling.
I mean, if you provide value, if you are honest and you do things properly, you should be able to get proper results for your clients… and then, well… your reputation will grow.
Why Buying Links is like Chocolate Cookies
Whether you like it or not, everyone is buying links to increase PR and ranking.
Buying links is one of those funny things, that every SEO professional has done… and in all the forums, blogs and articles we claim that we will never do it. (but deep inside we have all done it at some stage in our painful link building life)
