    .PW Landrush (Domaining)

    INVESTING 
    I haven't secured any as of yet, but something like carpetcleaner.pw could fall into what I am thinking about. I'm sure most of the obviously commercial names (casino, cloud, finance, software, lawyers, doctors) are taken, but some of the scraps may hold some value.

    .PW Landrush (Domaining)

    INVESTING 
    Highly commercial and brandable names. I wouldn't recommend even TRYING with longtails, or hell, even anything past one syllable. I do agree .com's are where the real money is at, by a longshot. Nor will the names ever reach the value of .com's. But I feel the potential to make some real coin...

    .PW Landrush (Domaining)

    INVESTING 
    Not your traditional investment vehicle, but potent, nonetheless. The .PW TLD Landrush started today, and could potentially make some money down the road. If you are not the only person to make an application for the domain name, you will be entered into a private auction with others making the...

    Fastlane Forum Recommended Books, LIVE!

    HOT! 
    Absolutely. Cialdini did an excellent job with this book, the examples and stories that follow each and every concept flow brilliantly. I have a printout of my highlighted sections in the book sitting on my desk at all times.

    PEOPLE 
    Influence by Robert Cialdini is a fantastic read with nothing but applicable knowledge you can put to immediate use in your every day life. I highly recommend it if you are in any type of sales position, it helped me tremendously. Other than that try just being more sociable with strangers, try...

    Gray Hat/Black Hat SEO

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I would tread these waters especially carefully. The risk of getting blacklisted or having your SERPs ranking drop is pretty high with such techniques. With all of the different algorithm updates Google has released in the past year, it's probably best to keep your tactics as white hat as...

    Impact - Found the need, building the process

    Let's start off with a little backlog: I am currently working for a gutter/roofing business and working part time with a SEO/Marketing business. Quite the dastardly duo if I do say so myself. I have learned loads of diverse skill sets from the gutter biz, surprisingly. I used to be shy, quiet...

    Need SEO and marketing advice for an insurance broker website

    MARKETING 
    Hello spanishpoet, these are all valid questions, so I'll try to answer them all to the best of my knowledge. 1. SEO companies are a dime a dozen, they all charge an arm and a leg, and can both help or hurt you. If you must find someone to do the work for you, just be sure to do your research...

    I hit the 1st page of google......Should I be bracing for lots of visitors?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Your biggest concern, as far as I can see, is control. Quit relinquishing it to others and putting off the brunt of the work involved in creating your process. You gave up control when you paid someone else to help you rank your site on Google, which could potentially get your site blacklisted...

    {Important} Disable Java Now

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I had read up on the matter on Monday. Apparently the patch Oracle had released only covered a few of the many exploits recently brought to light. It's a shame really.

    Hello from Raleigh, NC

    Good evening ladies and gents, my name is Tom. I first stumbled upon this site through a random Google search regarding flipping items on Craigslist. I was intrigued by the sheer ingenuity some of the members here exuded in said topic, and was curious as to where this "spark", so to speak, came...
