This spike guy is a dick for giving this plugin 2 stars just based on his extremely uneducated preference.

Dave – great on you for giving really comprehensive replies. A++

“Also do your tips still work in the post panda/penguin times we live in?”

It’s worked pretty well for me. I was hit by Penguin (huge traffic losses). Sitesell folks provided a report on how to fix the traffic loss – traffic loss fixed + much more traffic than when I started.

Just using the bare bones information on the action guide I was able to create a site with 1400 unique visitors a day. I’ve only just started though, so I’m hoping to crank that out to a considerably larger crowd, but I’m sure you get the idea.

YES – the core business-concepts are still relevant today. I’d say they’re even more relevant, as with considerably more information available to us it’s easier than ever to get distracted.

There are probably some more advanced techniques that they’re missing out on, but I’ve noticed more articles going up in that area + you still have all you need to make thousands of dollars a month with their current information.

Also, as far as “cheaper tools”, not sure what you’re referring to there. Other tools such as SEM rush are $50+ a month. You can get some cheap ones for only $30+/month, but that’s still a ton.

I know there are some free ones out there, but I’ve found them considerably lacking.

“What does this even have to do with wordpress!!??”

Well…erm…it’s a WordPress plugin that you use with WordPress to build a business on WordPress.

It’s probably got nothing to do with WordPress though.

I had my site hit by Google penguin and lost 40% of my traffic (around 500-600 people a day down to 250). It was pretty bad.

Ken and every at BizXpress wrote a gigantic report on how to recover from Penguin, and I recovered + much more! Now I’m at around 1400 a day, which is pretty great.

So although there’s a risk of Google Algorithm’s screwing you up, you’ve always got the team to back you up with data and solutions.

Besides, the only reason I got hit by that algorithm was by following shoddy SEO advice on the internet and spamming comment feeds. Now that I know better I just focus on creating wicked comics and content – what’s Google going to hit me for if I’m not participating in the “SEO game”?
