[photopress:wordpress_cms.png,full,alignleft]For one of my ecommerce sites I needed a very simple CMS. I always use Wordpress for my blogs, and love it, but I wanted to have a more CMS than a blog. After spending a few minutes, I have turned the wordpress blog into a CMS. I’m pretty sure this has been done millions of time before, but I wanted to share it, because I know it will help somebody who’s looking for a similar solution.

[photopress:google_logos.jpg,full,alignleft]What is google?
- A search engine
- A full service advertising agency
- A verb in English language
This list will go on and on. But what is actually Google doing? What is their goal in the long run? What were the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s plans when they first started google?
This is a pretty long article about my thoughts about Google’s dangerous monopoly game foreplay.
After the launch of Google Adwords (Google Sponsored Search Results), it has started to become popular. It was a great way for google to make money. Many users didn’t even notice they were paid search results, so they have clicked them. Google showed paid search results only at the right sidebar of the screen. My first thought was; They will eventually put these paid search results at the top section just above the organic search results, and they did.
Google Adwords has become a multi billion dollar revenue source for Google, and they wanted to make their shareholders happy quarter after quarter. Don’t get me wrong, I love google, I have always been a big fan since their launch, but just like any other corporation the interests started shifting at the Google Headquarters.

I was checking google analytics stats for one of my blogs, and I was very surprised to see around 15 unique visitors/day traffic coming from Google searched for a specific keyword search. You’d say what’s surprising about this? It was for a 3 word misspelled keyword phrase.
I went right away to my blog post to check the misspelled words, but couldn’t find the misspelled words neither on my post title nor in the post. Then I see a comment from a user with the misspelled keyword phrase.
I have heard so many things about bringing traffic from search engines with misspelled keywords. In fact many many famours domains have all the misspelled versions trying to bring some extra traffic. Now I can see the reason why people spend time and money working on misspelled keywords.
So, if you are doing SEO within a very high competitive niche, it’d be smart to play with misspelled keywords (at least add a few landing pages). I know it may not be very white hat SEO, but if SE traffic is very important for you, it’s something you should try.
Wanted to post about my experience, maybe I should start misspelling when I write (hint hint).
Most people think link baiting is for only blogs, but they are wrong. Blogs might to better link baiting due to their freshly updated content. But I’ll show you some tricks about link baiting for ecommerce sites.

What is Link Baiting?
Create a free content to offer the web community. It may be an article or a blog post on your blog, a press release, or an authority article sent to an article directory, basically any content you offer freely on the internet. Then the web community will find your content valuable and link to it. Bingo!!! You start receiving free backlinks instead of paying for them or spending hours finding them. Link baiting is a part of Viral Marketing.
Why is it called Link Baiting?
It is exactly like fishing. With the bait, you have the chance to catch some fish.
Free Content => Bait
Free Backlinks => Fish
If you have a community related site, or a blog, or an article/authority type site, it may be easy to do link baiting. But I receive many questions from ecommerce site owners about how to do link baiting.
