Short and sweet, as mentioned previously, this is my first official shout-out for guest posts on this blog; interested?

True story - I’ve had more then one previous guest tell me they received more traffic from me then other blogs combined. That feels good, I tell ya what .

Take a quick glance at this page and let me know!

You may or may not know this, but my very first venture into the online marketing realm started in forums and quickly became my favorite. Oh yea, I became quite addicted, quite quickly; I was everywhere…..if you think I comment on many blogs, you should have seen my forum post counts all over the net.

Anyhoo, a year or two or so ago (hey that rhymed!), I became quite overwhelmed with it all. That combined with getting completely fed up with one forum altogether (yea Pete, that one), led me to abandon them completely…

…well, it’s time to go back. For the most part, they were good to me, and there’s no place like ‘em for helping others. This time though, I will do it right. One or two Internet marketing forums, one or two affiliate marketing forums, and a bunch of direct sales forums, since that is my main bread and butter as it were.

UPDATE! - WOW I hope you all are as seriously blown away as I am. Before I even had a chance to promote this post, one of our fellow blogger/marketers and a truly awesome person, Pete from Home Made Online Income,  has stepped up to try and help both me and YOU.

After reading the post, be sure to read the first comment carefully before making any decisions. My offer of course still stands if there is one person that can afford it, but if not, please do not hesitate to take Pete up on his…we will work closely together to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you all!

FINAL UPDATE! The money has been paid and the crisis has been averted, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY! Read the next post instead .

Welcome to another guest post here on DSWM that should spark some awesome debate…Adsense is another topic that tends to do just that. I too am hoping to learn a thing or two from both the article and your responses below!

Please welcome Simon Rogers from Teenius.com.

If you’re using Adsense, no doubt you would have seen a little section that speaks about your ‘CTR’. Your CTR is a very important part of  Adsense and for many people determines whether they make a little or a lot by using the program. This article will show you the three main tips for increasing your CTR and earning more through Adsense.

What is CTR?
CTR stands for ‘Click Through Rate’. This basically indicates what percentage of your visitors click one of the Adsense adverts. So if, for example, you get one hundred visitors and four clicks, you’ll have a CTR of 4%.

Hello dear readers, I got another guest surprise today! Assuming you’re one of the few that hasn’t seen him around the sphere yet, I’d like you to meet Nicolas Prudhon, PhD.

Search Engine Optimization is essential to the success of any website or blog. When talking about intrinsic value, SEO is (when applied properly) absolutely invaluable for it may bring tons and tons of potential prospects to your doorstep as no cost.

Helloooo out there in marketing land! How are y’all? Things are busy busy busy in my little corner, so I have another awesome guest post to start your week.

Do you know James King? Maybe you’ve seen his guest posts on a number of other blogs. Or perhaps you’ve even used his service as a professional web design specialist.

If you’re ever in the market for a web designer, here’s some tips from a professional…

Hire a good web designer

Not long ago, I had a conversation with one my former managers regarding web design. She said “Anyone can build a website”, I thought that’s nonsense, because creating a website is much more than making a webpage look pretty. Since the boom of the Internet in the late 1990’s to present day, there has been a selective group of individuals that can use Front Page and this suddenly makes them professional web designers. Professional web designer takes a great deal of personal training, experience to be established as an expert.

I’m asking for guest posts, and receiving them…y’all got some good stuff coming up . However, it seems I was a little lax in communication as to exactly how and when I publish guest posts; sorry about that, I should have added it to my guest bloggers page.

1. I publish guest posts in the order I receive them; first in first out unless I have two back to back on the same subject.

2. I don’t usually like to publish guest posts back to back to back; if possible I like to add at least one of my own in between each one. Under the current circumstance though this may not be possible; I specifically asked for guests so I could get other work done. You don’t need to hear my bitching though lol.

3. I like to give some space (2-3 days or so) between posts for promotion of each post; more or less depending on circumstances.
