This post will not bash facebook or it’s ad service as it has made me a lot of money and why should I complain about that. However there are some weird things that take place on the ad platform that have me going “WTF”.

What are you talking about you may ask? Well allow me to explain. . .  After about 1000 ad submissions I finally got 10 approvals. After those 10 approved ads were running for little while I chose the ones that were most successful and paused the least.

These few ads were acquiring hundreds of thousands of impressions a day for about 2 weeks. Then without any explanation the raging river of traffic slowed to a trickle. WTF?

That’s what I call the black hole. My ideas on the phenomena. Maybe I’m being highly outbid which is an easy fix and I tried with no result or maybe Facebook in all their infinite wisdom just decided that my ads were too old or acquired enough traffic and it’s time for a new fresher ad to take it’s place.

I still have no idea and I do not want to create a similar ad and resubmit them because they will just get disapproved anyway.  There you have it the Black Hole of Facebook!

I’m a huge UFC fan and mma fanatic so when Kimbo bust onto the scene it was a sideshow. At first I must admit I didn’t like him, but hey I didn’t know anything about him other than he’s getting a lot of attention when he shouldn’t. I waited for the day he would be revealed as a phony and sure enough it came.

Well now he is on the ultimate fighter and the fans finally get to see the real Kimbo Slice for what he is. A good man, a family man, a loveable guy, dedicated fighter and a genuine soul. A genuine soul with knockout power. I quickly became a Kimbo fan like many  and was rooting for the guy to see him succeed.

That however did not happen. His loss came quick and was heavily out wrestled, but what he did win is a larger fan base that wants to see him fight and win not because of his spectacle like ko’s but because he is a great guy and interesting character.

That is why he is a winner and why Dana White sees so much marketing potential in him.

I know many people have there own ideas on this but this is mine, feel free to comment.

No trick to this just a lot of grunt work and some knowledge but hey that’s what I’m here for. The easiest and fastest way to rank high in the search engines is to first do some keyword research and find some keywords with decent traffic that do not have a lot of competition.

The easiest way to to do that is you the google keyword tool. Then type the keywords you think have decent traffic into google search and see what comes up in the results. Now your gonna want to check the PR and back links of the websites ranking on the first page. You do that by getting the google toolbar, simple.

You click on the web page and then look at the tool bar, it will tell you what PR that site is. If the site is over 3 move on to the next keyword because it will be too much to work to outrank a valued and credible site of that strength.

You want to look for long tail keywords with 3 or 4 words in a phrase. This phrase should hopefully get at least 50 to 100 unique searches a day.

So you found a good keyword with decent traffic and soft competition on the first page and top 5 results. Great! Next step go to www.ajaxwhois.com and type in that key word phrase to see if it is available with as a domain name.

If it is great REGISER it! If not try adding hyphens in between the words! Why because the serps give higher authority to domains that exact match a phrase being searched for, they also give a “.com” more authority than a “.net” and so on. So remember that as you decide and buy your domain.

Awesome your almost there! In part 2 I will discuss the best way to set up your site and create back links to increase your google awareness and PR.

When I was younger and naive I suddenly decided to grow a set and begin to step into the online money making game. I was very wet behind the ears but read and seen ads for many “get rich quick biz ops”. I had no idea at the time what they were all about but it gave me a very crazy idea to try one.

I had been working as a barback at a bar down the street so at the time I had a nice chunk of change in my pocket and signed up for a turnkey pharmaceutical sales site with promises and hopes of making A LOT of money.

So my site went live and I did what they explained I should do but I had ABSOLUTE NO KNOWLEDGE and I mean none zero zilch of how to generate traffic, get ranked with seo, ppc, text links, articles, etc you name it I WAS CLUELESS!!!

It didn’t take long for me to realize I was in way over my head and my 300 hard earned  bucks was gone like that. That’s a lot of dough for a broke ass young college kid and I hate losing money especially not knowing why or how it happened.

This event could have ended my drive for financial success via the internet right there, but it didn’t. With my tail tucked between my legs and looking like a complete jack ass I started all over and from the beginning.

I set out on my long journey to slowly teach myself enough information to make some money online. So in the end they may have won that battle but they will not win the war and many other cliche sayings also.

From a young age I have known and felt deeply that within me burns a fire of controlled destruction. Blazing against my rib cage I fought to control it and decipher it’s origins. Many times I would channel this into sports with football being my main outlet as I got older.

I played highschool and then college ball with the sole intent to succeed and achieve greatness as a young warrior. But I soon fell to an almost career ending knee injury. One that changed my focus to none other than the internet and it’s vast glory to be captured.

This is my story, of battle, triumph, and loss.

Enter young brave warrior, for there shall be great rewards upon great sacrifice. . . . . and his name shall be Vini Iachetta
