My bad - I’m sorry. Anyways, I’m back from mountain biking - it was great! I’ll get some pictures up sometime soon. However, I have an awesome announcement:
I just received my Teen Business Forum tees!

I’ll be sending one to Shoemoney’s free shirt friday - and selling the rest for $5 apiece - a 50% [...]

During the SMX Advanced conference, Jay Young gave a presentation on his views of link development. To my surprise, Jay Young gave us some grey-hat techniques to SEO sites. Here are some of the techniques that Jay Young recommends for link building:
Directories
Jay Young still supports directories - commonly overlooked, they are still a good way [...]

At SMX Advanced this year, Roger Montti of Martinibuster gave a short presentation on building links from .edu sites. This was one of the shortest presentations - but gave some insightful content on where to look for and find links from .edu pages.

I finally got a Facebook conversion! 16 clicks and $2.70 later, I’ve gotten a registration at Teen Business Forum. That’s not bad. I will keep track of the conversion rate - if it averages pretty well, in a week or so I’ll up my bid to $0.25 or $0.30/CPC. That should get me a lot [...]

I’ve begun an ad campaign for Teen Business Forum on Facebook. Targeted to 13-24 year olds, it’s an ad for TBF. However, Facebook ads have *ridiculous* CPC rates: $0.70-0.90/click was recommended to me.
