If you’re into SEO, then you know the power of a blog. If you’re into blogging, there’s a good chance you use WordPress (like we do - this site!). And if you use WordPress, there’s a good chance you’ve been getting bogus phony user spam registrations from free email services like mail.ru, web.de, buy-24h.net.ru, bigmir.net, yandex.ru, list.ru or one of many others. And you’ve been wondering… “how can I block or stop wordpress blog registration spam?” “Spam bots are trying to register for my WordPress blog - does anyone know of a WordPress plugin to prevent spam user registrations?”

The Spam User Registration Solution - SABRE WordPress Plugin

We just found the perfect WordPress plugin to block or stop spam bot user registration (by Didier Lorphelin). It’s called SABRE (Simple Anti Bot Registration Engine) and “is dedicated to the protection of your blog against automatic registration by spammers.” We just installed it, then very easily set up how we wanted to block the spammers (from a variety of methods), and presto, our registration form is bot tight (hopefully!). WE LOVE THIS PLUGIN and how extensive it is!

If you have AT ALL been paying attention to anything I’ve said, dear students, then you know that the most important focus of your SEO efforts is to GET LINKS, then get some more links, and when you’re finished getting those links, just go get twice as many as you just got, and THEN you WILL be successful. Really.

“Impossible!” you say… Well there is one man who’s goal it is to earn a full time income within one year of beginning blogging - and he is well on his way. Bryan Clark at OneMansGoal.com has done what it takes to become successful - he gets links. (more…)

Just another gimmick.

Seems there’s yet another ‘great idea’ for bloggers that’s turning out to be just another gimmick (referral link). There’s a new tool called BlogRush that you can sign up for that is supposed to help you get traffic by ’sharing’ your own traffic. You put this widget on your blog, and it displays posts from other blogs in your niche (supposedly) - you get a ‘credit’ every time you show the widget (each impression), the credit allows your most recent post to be displayed on other blogs, hopefully bringing you traffic. (Try it if you want, see if it works for you - BlogRush - referral link.)

From sounding good, to nails on a blackboard.

Sounds good, eh? Well, in practice, it has been a nightmare. We have put it on a test site, and have earned about 1000 times more credits than we spend. So, basically, we could remove the widget right now, and still get our posts showing up on other blogs for the next year (somehow I don’t think it’ll happen).

Here’s where the BS starts - and why I say BlogRush is a BUST. (more…)

It’s all about getting the links. If you focus your efforts with the intention of getting links, you WILL be successful online.

Why? Because if you are getting links it means that you are doing a lot of other things right, like building excellent content, and offering people top quality information that informs, educates, or entertains. People eat that stuff up, and they link to it too. Top Quality Information is called LinkBait. Linkbaiting should be your business focus. (Our contest at www.remodelingmyspace.com is a form of linkbait.)

Why Build Links?

Here’s a great list of benefits of links, but simply:
