I’ll preface this by saying that these screenshots [...]

After building hundreds of web properties, I’d like to think that I have things boiled down to a science, but every once a while, I still need a kick in the pants to remind me of what works.
I was going through some 100-word posts that I had an outsourcer write a few months back, and [...]

Ezine Articles Premium: You Can’t Schedule for Day End

Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by joefission.

As un-flashy as it might sound, I still like to drive a lot of traffic through article marketing — especially using the “Big 12.” It’s actually not 12 anymore, but that’s still how I refer to the more effective article directories.

Posted on 10. Mar, 2009 by joefission.

I’ve been using Market Samurai for a while now — I don’t recall how long — and I can’t even remember what life was like before it. Before it, I used a combination of WordTracker and Keyword Elite. WordTracker is a great tool, but it requires so much clicking and digging that I rarely took [...]

Posted on 05. Mar, 2009 by joefission.

NextGenLinks looked really promising. And I still believe that it is promising. It’s just not for me.

Article Marketing Automation vs. Unique Article Wizard

Posted on 18. Nov, 2008 by joefission.

Article Marketing Automation and Unique Article Wizard are too similar animals with similar objectives:

Syndicate your content on multiple sites
Build a large amount of relevant backlinks
Provide unique variations of your content

The approach they use to go about these steps is very different.
For my money, I use both. I usually first submit my articles by hand to [...]
