Do you have a blog? ,… and if you do would you like more?
Well,… I've got a special surprise in store for you guys.
Every week during February I'm going to be giving away one free Optimum WordPress installation.
You may have seen the promo link for Optimum WordPress in the right hand sidebar but anyway if you'd like to know more then go and check this out. Then come back here and leave a comment below and let me know you'd be interested in getting one installed for free,…
yes FREE as in "no strings", no signups, no conditionals …just a complete GIFT for any of my blog readers that would like to get the latest, most secure, feature packed super charge WordPress installation.
Just leave a comment below to get Optimum WordPress for FREE: it can just say something like,.. "OK,..cool…I'd like one",.. or "yeah gimme one". The best comment will get the Free install so that may entice you to be a bit more creative and explain why you'd like one and anything else you'd like to say.
If I only get one comment then the freebie goes to that commenter regardless of message length (but it does have to relative and polite or the comment will get deleted anyway,.. along with all the spam and bot comments!)

Keyword Focus

The Reason My Blog Posts Are Thinning Out On This Blog!
The more time I spend online and build blogs and websites the more and more I realize that this WHOLE game revolves around keywords.
I get lots of clients asking me to make them a blog or a CMS site for which they have grand designs of using as a platform to launch their online career and/or some latest product, gadget or service.
The startling thing is that they all have their focus in the same wrong places. What I mean is that they're invariably focused on design, trendy or cool sounding names, graphics, appearance, all kinds of blogging and site features including optin forms and newsletter blasting,.. BUT,.. they fail to focus on and give any kind of real attention to where their customers, clients and site visitors are going to come from.
WHAT ARE YOUR KEYWORDS FOLKS?
Unless you know from the outset what market you're competing in/for and what the specific keywords are that relate to your market, product or service then you're just wasting your time and your blog or site is going to be left to toss around like a cork on an open sea of competition.
Take this blog for instance,.. The Russ Rave,… it's a classic example. Sure I like my blog and I'm quite content with its appearance and layout and cool backend functions but what about traffic? I mean targeted traffic? This blog is so wide and diverse in its topics ranging from Copywriting and Internet Marketing, to WordPress themes, plugins, videos etc.
Whilst I get traffic across those areas its really spasmodic and hardly worthwhile. I mean, theses days the whole blogging scene is really streamlined and focused. Gone are the days when you could start a blog about "blogging" and expect to be successful,.. because you're competing with the Darren Rowse's, the Yara Staraks, the John Chows, The Gideon Shalwicks etc. And then there's the "make money online" niche (if it can still be called a "niche"… more like a monolithe!) In that niche you're up against the Frank Kerns, Mike Filsaimes, John Reeses, Lee McIntyres etc. So you have to be pretty dedicated and focused if that's going to be your ball game.
So,.. what I've decided to do is to dedicate myself and my time to breaking out into other more defined niches and create blogs specifically around that. It's not that I'm not interested in "making money online", its' just that my performance so far in that niche has been woeful (making the odd sale) but I do make money online by building blogs and CMS sites and selling associated services and products around that,- so that's where I'm going to really focus. It just makes sense really. So I'll have a blog for Wordpress and blog technical support and stuff, and a blog for website design, a blog for SEO etc etc. I'm actually working on them right now and spending a bit of time to get the keywords right so that I can highly for certain phrases that I know will get me some very targeted unique visitors who'll be looking for exactly the things I'm offering.
I'll be posting specific URL links later as my other blogs and sites evolve! <<< WATCH THIS SPACE >>>
In the meatime,.. this blog THE RUSSRAVE will stay active and published and will just be treated as my personal soapbox and "home" platform where I'll post stuff from time to time and just see how it evolves.
The reason I'm doing this is to be laser focused on promoting and marketing via keywords that are specific to the markets of which I'm interested in pursuing.

Hi there,.. thanks for stopping by.
Actually,.. I really mean that sincerely because I'm sure you're busy and must have a ton of other things to be doing,. so thanks for dropping in to check out whatever it was that brought you here.
At this stage I'm still developing and tweaking things so please excuse the somewhat "plain-ness". I did have what I thought was a really neat screen Action-popup offering visitors some free e-books (actually they we're really great eBooks) but I'm finding more and more people are becoming less impressed with that massive barrage of free stuff and so I just took the Action popup page down for now.
If you'd like to subscribe to the list for getting lots of free insider benefits including tips, tricks, interviews ebooks, videos and webinars please feel welcome.
If you'd like to connect with me personally please just send me a message via my contact page and we'll chat real soon! I won't bite you and if I can help you in any way or arrange some kind of JV or plug for you (provided its an interesting cause) just let me know because I get over 2,000 visitors per day to this blog (but only in my dreams… it's actually closer to about 150 at present).
Ok… have a snoop around,… hope you find something interesting or some images or graphics worth stealing.
Cheers,.. and have a great day.
