Cash Keywords

Webmasterradio's Good Karma Show with Cash Keywords Overview

The last 10 days have been an exhausting whirlwind, although an enjoyable one.  I appeared on fellow TW member, Greg Niland's Good Karma show on Jan 5th. Just click on the listen now link for the show.  A couple unexpected things happened. First, I was expecting to be the only person on the show, but instead was in the (good) company of Wordtracker.  Can't say we are as esteemed as Wordtracker, but we certainly aspire to be as reputable and around for the long haul as they have been in our community.

Secondly, we did have some feedback/technical issues and the format was changed, so I appeared in the second half of the show. Originally I was going to answer questions about keywords together with Ken from Worktracker, and ended up just talking about Cash Keywords. That was fine and I hope informative for the listeners.

We went over some ideas on how to use top paying keyword lists, and I let listeners know we have some new products coming out AND it's still online, a page with a free 1,000 result Internet Marketing Cash Keyword Report.  You can get one, too, but I won't be keeping the offer up permanently.  I expect to do more podcasts in the future, and I just need to get comfortable with a new and interesting online format that goes well with other online content.

CashKeywords at Affiliate Summit Jan 8-10

I (Roxanne) will be at Affiliate Summit 2006 as a participant from Sunday thru Tuesday morning - the 8th thru the 10th.   Look for me at Joel Comm's sessions or at the Speed Networking Event for sure.  I will have a red LED badge with Cashkeywords.com running on it (gaudy I know! but not out of place in Vegas, right?).   If you can corner me, I just might tell you a few hints/inside info on what Cash Keywords has in store for 2006.  Plus I will be giving out some fun things, too, as I meet people.

Full report when I get back - should be some new things we'll hear about while there, and some AdSense publishers to meet, too.

Now That You Have An AdSense Empire Building- What If Something Happens To You?

Thinking about the possibility of disaster or something bad happening to you that you are incapacitated or worse isn't pleasant - ever.  But it's something I have seriously considered myself and planned for (I even made a will this year).  For the first time ever that I can recall, this topic of what to leave in your place if something should happen to you was addressed on WMW.  Called "Hit by a Bus" it's not only an apt title, but a thread that gets you thinking, as well as some handy suggestions.

If you have children, it's easy to consider taking the time to write everything down, and make proper arrangements for your business and websites to continue to bring in some cash.  If you don't have kids, maybe you have a girlfriend/boyfriend or siblings that can use some help or parents you want to give to.  Don't forget, you may not die or pass away, but what if you get really sick for a period of time, or incapacitated and need assistance to continue your online business? If your business is incorporated, you may already have someone designated as an employee/officer of the corporation that can continue to deposit incoming checks and run the business legally.

The New Year is good time to gather up your AdSense Empire codes and the basic info on hosting, passwords, and even suggesting someone to contact for help, or to sell the site(s) to.  Just type up this info as clearly as you can so even an internet novice will know what to do, then store it in a safe, safety deposit box, or other predetermined location.  I actually keep a "little black book" to write down info I need for my work.  Updating this information once a year is a good idea as things change.

Also consider taking the next step towards estate planning and write a letter to your family (survivors) and let then know how to access your documents and what you want them to do, i.e. "First try to maintain sites with Joe Smith's help.  As a last resort, contact XYZ.com or Mr. Abc to sell the websites to."

None of this takes the place of a proper Estate Plan or will, and you should contact an attorney in your area to find out what exactly you need.

Hide Your Articles, Posts and Other Text Content from Copycats

Hide your website text content, e-mail address or original articles that you don't want ripped off with HideText.   This site has an online tool that allows you to insert text into a field, set the characters, and voila! an image of your text you can now add to your blog or website.

I decided to try it, and here's the result using what I just typed:

You can enter up to 100K characters in one image (arial or verdana font only right now), and download the result and delete the image, or link to the image on their server.

This could really foil all those AdSense hungry content burglars from getting your stuff thru copy and paste. They _could_ steal the image, but most image stealers are too dumb to change the image file name if you had to search it out - and these have weird names unless you change them.   If text images aren't your cup of tea, you could always use the excellent copyright cop  - CopyScape.

The bonus idea is that Google isn't able to index your site content and slap you with a mistaken dupe content penalty, because some guy stole your content and is now benefitting from your hard work.  Not being indexed isn't good for rankings, I know, but a clever person could create a mix of text and images to work around the issue.
