I Kicked My Own Self out of my Blog
Today is a good day, my internet has finally been cooperating and I can actually get some work done online. For over a week my internet connection has been going in and out every minute. I could only do short term work online, like networking and could do some offline stuff. Anyways, back to the subject of “can’t login to WP-Admin”.
This isn’t the most exciting post or anything, but just in case it happens to anyone else, I figured I’d write about what happened and how I fixed my WordPress login error.
I had created another mini niche blog not to long ago and I was playing around in the dashboard under the “general settings”. For some odd reason I changed my blog url in the “WordPress address” url spot and pushed save. The next thing I notice is I can’t login to the WP-Admin and I get an error message saying that url doesn’t exist. On top of that my actual site had no WP theme, it was just a bunch of content and images and basically I took WordPress off of the site entirely and didn’t know what to do. I had one of those “what the **** moments” or simply put, confused.
This is how I fixed it…
Of course I did some Googling and found this very helpful page http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
All I needed to do was enter my cpanel, went into my file manager, found my blog and edited the “WP-config.php”. I only had to enter these two lines below and hit save.
- define(‘WP_HOME’,'http://enter yoursite here.com’);
- define(‘WP_SITEURL’,'http://enter yoursite here.com’);
There’s even a better way of doing this and it’s explained in the link I gave you above. If you ever find yourself in the same situation or can’t login to your WP-admin for your wordpress blog, then this may work for you.
In this post I’ve really showcased my technical and design capabilities by kicking myself out of my own blog, only kidding. I have no skills and that is one reason why I use WordPress. It is very easy for just about anyone to use and any technical problems are usually quite simple to resolve on your own.

Taking Long Breaks from Blogging
This is my first post on my blog for a good while and it’s good to get back to it. I’ve actually been doing more outsourcing, working on pay per click (PPC) campaigns, seo, cleaning out some clutter and getting organized. Oh yeah, I’ve also been doing a lot of vacationing and spending time with people I care about. I figured I would take a break from blogging for awhile just to clear my head and see what would happen.
Now, taking long breaks from blogging is always up for debate whether it’s a good or bad idea.
First off, if you’re a blogger, then you should be blogging about something you have a passion for so it should be relatively easy to continue blogging. Using MONEY as your motivator can work too, since I know many successful online marketers use that as their drive.
The Negatives-
Blogging and pushing out posts on a regular basis, consistently, helps in a couple ways. When I was posting every few days the search engine spiders would visit my blog a few times everyday, now they rarely visit or crawl my blog. My blog posts would appear in the serp’s almost instantly after I published them and I had many posts that were on the front page of the serp’s too, which I lost quickly once I stopped posting. Secondly, your readers will get accustomed to when you publish your posts so you’ll probably lose some readers and less traffic from referrals.
Many people will stop visiting your blog and you’re name and brand will be forgotten quite quickly. The internet is ever changing 24/7, if you take a long break then someone who is hungrier than you will take your place and never look back. You will have so much catch up when you get back into the game and back to your blog that you could lose everything you worked so hard and consistently on. Think about it, just about every Top Blogger stays consistent with their blogging, none of them take long overdrawn breaks.
You’re sales will decrease. I saw a dramatic decrease in my sales from this blog as soon as I stopped posting on a regular basis, probably from the reasons above.
The Positives-
Taking a long break is quite refreshing and can give you some new angles and ideas on what you want or need to do. Having a constant pressure to blog can burn you out so a break is needed or you may just quit entirely. It allows you to work on other things, learn new things and experiment. You can use the time to find other means of making money online such as ppc or ppv marketing.
It’s good to take a break from the pressures of the online world and “live life”. Enjoy some of the freedom that internet marketing allows you to have that the “9 to 5″ doesn’t give you.
Lastly, it is your blog, you decide what you want to do with it. But just remember, are you writing for yourself or for others?
All I can say is there are strong points for both sides of the coin but I didn’t start blogging just to get by. If you want to separate yourself from the rest of the pack then just start blogging consistently since not many can keep up with it for a long period of time.
Too Early for Another Google Page Rank Update
No, the title is not some weak link bait strategy. I had woken up early this morning, O.K. this afternoon, and was checking a few stats and so forth. I had noticed I was getting search engine traffic from Google to some of my older posts that aren’t even indexed. I was thinking to myself, that’s strange since I haven’t been doing any backlinking to any of them lately.
So I start checking out some of these posts on my blog and I notice several of my posts that weren’t even indexed are now at least a PR 1. Then I start checking other newer posts and they are almost all indexed?? I really thought that Google just rolled another page rank update since yesterday. But it’s a month early. My blog’s homepage and my other sites didn’t change in PR. I also checked some of the authoritative sites that usually announce when we have a Google PR update but none of them were mentioning it.
If we didn’t just have another Google PageRank update, then it’s the first time I’ve ever had a webpage increase in PR without a update. I didn’t even know that could happen. I definitely ain’t complaining, I just was having one of those confused moments. If we didn’t just have a Google PR update then I must be doing something right, it’s about time. :)
Did anyone else notice any changes to their page rank?
Are Internet Marketing Experts Blogs Only After Your Money?
Do you ever get the feeling like some of the internet marketing guru’s blogs are only trying to make money from you? Some people believe that the value of many of these type of blogs has diminished and is being replaced with “money pages” and affiliate links. I am not talking about all of the experts or gurus. And I am talking about the blogs in the “make money online” or internet marketing niches.
Here’s what I’ve learned…
Most of these Top Internet marketing experts have been blogging for a long freakin time. Some of them were the original pioneers, especially for the “make money online” and “internet marketing” blogs. So seriously, they probably covered just about everything they could on their niche and then some in the first couple of years, and that leads to my next point.
Dig deep to find the good stuff-
I’ve read and continue to read most of the Top Internet Marketing Gurus blogs. But I like to dig deep into their archives or use their sitemaps to get to their older posts filled with some of their most valuable and insightful content. This is where you’ll find posts about case studies of their failures or success. Their best how to’s, lists, tips and tutorials, all before they were rich and famous. This is knowledge and information that you couldn’t even pay for or find in the best online money making programs. Just realize that some of the info maybe outdated, but most of it is timeless.
Learn by watching them-
If you got any experience as a internet marketer, then I’m sure you’ve learned to just watch what the experts do on their blogs and then implement it yourself. That in itself is worth thousands of dollars of coaching, for FREE.
I think most of these gurus blogs have become huge platforms for them to promote or influence a ton of people everyday. If you could write one post “money page” and make 1000′s of dollars from it in a couple days with little effort, you wouldn’t do it? Yet most of them still throw out a valuable post every now and then even though they’ve probably covered it before in someway in their blog already.
So no, I don’t think that most of the experts are only after our money. They’ve just had to evolve and have to be more cautious of what they write because of their HUGE audiences.
Now, I already mentioned I wasn’t talking about every successful blogging expert online in the “make money online” niches. Some of them still to this day continually give valuable, fresh and up to date relevant posts without a handful of affiliate links thrown in. But they are masters at what they do and know how to make a ton of money still without being so obvious to their visitors.

The Yahoo and Microsoft Search Alliance – It’s Coming!
It’s about time a Real Google Adwords alternative is finally in the works. The Yahoo and Microsoft Search Alliance has been given the thumbs up to be carried out in the United States and European Union.
Basically means, the Yahoo Search Marketing and the Microsoft advertising (Adcenter) advertising networks will now be joined together into one powerhouse for those of us who use Pay per click (PPC) or cost per click (CPC) advertising. Once implemented, both of them will be powered by Bing, and we will be able to control our advertising campaigns by using just one platform, Microsoft Adcenter.
Create your add campaign in Adcenter, and launch it, then your adds will show up on Yahoo and all of the Microsoft sites, and networks. It equals to a combined number of searchers of over 150 million in the U.S. and well over 500 million worldwide, which is roughly a 50% increase in search volume, rather than just using one of these networks by itself.
This alliance won’t be ready until end of 2010 or beginning of 2011. Until then, they say just continue using both networks, Yahoo and Microsoft regularly and they are going to make the transition smooth for everybody.
The Yahoo and Microsoft Search Alliance will be more convenient, efficient, and hopefully give a better return on investment (ROI). I know many SEM and Pay Per Click advertisers will be happy.
I have used all three paid search advertising networks before, Google Adwords, Yahoo search and Microsoft Search Marketing, but Google Adwords is what I mostly use. The other two, at least for me don’t deliver enough traffic and some of their functions for setting up campaigns are kind of lame compared to Adwords. Hopefully, both of these things will be improved with their new partnership for search marketing.
This is HUGE for Affiliate Marketers and business owners who use pay per click advertising regularly to drive instant targeted traffic. The Yahoo and Microsoft Alliance will be more cost effective and save time from having two separate accounts. This is great for anyone who has had their adwords account closed or wanted a alternative to Google Adwords and still get a High Volume of targeted searchers to their ads.
If you want to know anymore about this go here.
I am already anxious to try the new Yahoo and Microsoft Search out to see how it’s changed and how it will be different or alike Google Adwords. What do any of you think about this new alliance and are you going to try it out when it is available?
