[...] Come on! Then again, maybe I should be laughing because Google blogsearch is so full of spam (another great source of data, as per Smaxor). I can’t do screenshots with my HP laptop (or not as easily as I used to with the desktop [...]

You should be lecturing and speaking at conferences Smaxor. This post and the thing about the basic regex script to get the # of results in msn… frikkin awesome..

One issue I do have though is limited resources. It’s nice to suggest making a lot of sites and testing, but that presupposes you’re using throwaway domains. I’ve got a bit of domaining background and, without saying I’ve got true premium generics, the DNs I buy are fairly good. So I don’t want to test them out with bh stuff and risk killing the whole thing.

What I have done is use my basic html skills to throw up one page sites and use those to link to my primary sites. The one-pagers get forum sig links and such. The catch is that I can’t build these significantly because, like you said, if you try to learn everything, you learn nothing. And my focus now is WH stuff.

I had a point when I started writing this but seem to have forgot it now. In any case, I do remember that I wanted to ask you about affiliate marketing. I’ve got about a half dozen kw1kw2 domains in a specific niche, where kw1kw2 is a popular search. I’ve found a variety of aff programs in the niche with products to promote. What should be my next step? Build out the sites one at a time? Get one-page sites up on the remainder for backlinks and build site age? Just try and make a powerhouse primary site? What’s the next step?

Nice smaxor. I’ve had similar convos with noobs and it gets maddening after a while. I’m willing to help as long as some effort is shown, but if they can’t even take the time to TRY something themselves I walk away.

I think it’s a symptom of todays entitlement society. No one wants to work for anything.

great post. Over the past year, I have ramped up my efforts in SEM, and the first thing that happened to me is I was inudnated with all the posibilities. And, of course, most of what I was reading about was old and already used up.

Recently, I have focused all my eggs in PPC, and, am getting results as I am learning the tactics of what to do to rank for big words, how to beat QS, etc. All because i am 100% focused.

I think a series on “HOW TO ANALYZE THE SERPS” would rock. That still is something I run into, which is when I am doing deep link analaysis on a site really getting my hands around the message in the data.

Once you can read the serps, either writting the code or paying someone to do it is almost secondary. the difference between having a puzzle and putting all the pieces togehter, and having a mystery and not knowing whats next. for most, the message of the SERPS can still appear as a mystery.

Hmm, maybe that could be the name of the blog series “TAO of SERPS: understanding rankings and what they mean”
