Wow! It's been almost 2 years since I posted in this blog. How time flies. My last post mentioned and investment program. I won't go into all the details, but lets just say I was almost rich, until I wasn't able to get my money out of the program. I feel really bad because I asked several people to join and one of them lost a large sum of money also.

Well after working hard advertising on the web and creating everything needed for my training classes at Direct Fortune Online, that boomed out also!

Now it's another year and I look forward to a fabulous one. I've decided to change my direction from affiliate programs and start working on investment programs on the internet.

Investing offshore in several different programs will probably be my best bet. I'm currently looking into several programs that have been recommended to me by other individuals that I have met on the internet.

I already know to stay away from the HYIP programs! The majority of them are nothing but scams.

In the process of getting more traffic to my newest site called Direct Fortune Online I ran across a fairly new site called Web Traffic Juggernaut. It allows you to:

1. Generate traffic to your site,
2. Earn click-through credits from your visitors,
3. Track the clicks for your referral links,
4. Send out Solo Ads to your downline,
5. Exchange pop-up ads instead of banner or text ads,
6. Viral advertising,
7. Build your downline in two ways

All from one site!

I've been busy for the month advertising my new site, DirectFortuneOnline.com, and adding other areas to the site. Direct Fortune Online now has a Partners Directory and a Toolbar that works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. The toolbar is filled with all sorts of business resources and web tools that I highly recommend. There is also a menu for social networking sites; some of them pay!

I'm also creating other areas for the graudates of Direct Fortune Online. They will be able to post information in our new blog community and our private forum.

I found a site called KickApps.co that allows you to create a social site, but I'm still learning how to use it. Yes, that will be added to the list of areas that folks can visit because they know about Direct Fortune Online. I don't expect the social site to be a huge community because it will be there mostly for affiliate marketers and internet marketers to communicate and learn from each other, along with advertising their information.

 

I know you've been waiting for the announcement and it's finally here! Direct Fortune Online is the name of the site. Learning basic computer skills, intermediate affilate marketing and advanced search engine optimization are the classes that are being taught LIVE at the site!

There are thousands of online training classes that are charging outrageous prices for what they teach. Lots of them costing thousand of dollars. Since DirectFortuneOnline.com is being presented by me, you need to know that I have always been the type of individual that loves to share my knowledge. It means more to me to help others become a success on the internet than it does to rob you blind.

I decided to check the search engine results while creating this post so I could list out all the sites that have made it to page one of Google. Here are just a few of my accomplishments since March of this year.

Since I just submitted DirectFortuneOnline.com on August 3, 2008, I will be working on the phrase "online affiliate marketing training" for DirectFortuneOnline.com!

Visit Direct Fortune Online to find out more about how to get started.

When I have put my mind to it, I have tried to get to page one of Google with several different affiliate programs that I am in. Well I finally decided to take the time to put a little more effort into getting there for Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.

I'm never satisfied with just being on page one though! I am never happy until I'm in the  number one position. Since this company has been around for awhile and has a lot of individuals that have their sites on the search engine results, I will have to pull a few rabbits out of some hats to get the spot. It's going to take longer to get to the very top.

I am on page one for the subsidiary company that started back in March called Natural Longevity Discount Buyers Club because of my profile at Myspace and a group that I created over there. I am still in the number one position for the acronym NLDBC.

Because it is getting a lot easier for me to get to page one, I have decided to create a web site to teach others about affiliate marketing. I've been getting high praises from my students at Greenwood Health Systems.

The site will offer three types of classes: basic computer skills, intermediate or advanced affiliate marketing classes. I've been working on the site for a few days now. After getting the site in order, I still have to create some e-books for my new students.

I'll have to keep you posted on the Grand Opening!

Oh! I forgot to give you an update on Entertainment 4 Less, we are still waiting for the Grand Opening! The owner of the company has given us every excuse on the planet as to why we haven't opened yet. I'm sure once he does open, most of the members that he had back in December won't be there anymore. When he request that we stop advertising several months ago, he had over 97,000 members.

He said the next step was to send out an email to verify who wanted to remain a member. After that, he was supposed to send us another email inviting us into our new back office. We are still waiting!!!

I've been having a problem trying to get my mini-site for Greenwood Health Systems on page one of the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) at Google. Everytime I check, it's still on page 2. It took an entire month for the site to appear on the SERP because of a major diaster caused by Bravenet back in March.

I had to temoprarily move my site Laprial's Fortune, LLC to my second domain, then move it back once they fixed part of the problem. Becuase of the diaster, I'm still having problems with my email account.

Anyway, because my first site had tags embedded in it, to tell the search engines to update it once a month, when I put up my second site, it didn't get crawled until a month later. When I first put up the site, I made some posts in several locations, but naturally they didn't get noticed because of the diaster.

The second problem is the fact that Greenwood Health Systems is a major company that has a lot of external links, which keeps it on page one. There is one little secret that most folks don't know about posting in blogs; if you are posting on a site that has a high ranking (7-10) with Google, your links in your content actually help you move up in the search engine results!

Since I have a bunch of blogs, I decided that I would spend the time today making a post in each of them, so I can finally get on page one of the SERP at Google. Keep your eyes open by searching Google for Greenwood Health Systems or Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.

I'm determined to get the #1 position for those two terms on Google; just look for GlobalFortuneOnline.com as the domain that you would be going to when you click on the link.

Greenwood Health Systems launched a subsidiary company back in March called Natural Longevity Discount Buyers Club (NLDBC). That one is already on page one for the term NLDBC!

I haven't done any maintenance on my site called Lapial's Fortune, LLC in quite sometime and decided to work on it today. I started at around 7:30 AM in the morning and wasn't through until around 1:30 PM. I used a SEO Tool called Dead-Links to check all the pages. My site hasn't been checked for dead links in about a year. According to the first report I had - 79 in the host - 294 out. Those were only the pages that the spider could crawl! There are some pages that are labeled 'Noindex, Nofollow" for the spiders.

I was talking with the CEO of Ebizwizard University of Internet Marketing about how to improve his results in the search engines. He was determined to get on page one of Google! Isn't that where everybody wants to be? I gave him a few tips on what to do and he informed me two days later that his site was number 9 on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). I checked again today and can't find the listing. I really don't know what's going on with Google, since I did see the results with my own two eyes! I will need to call the CEO to find out if he did anything to change his web pages. Yes things can move just that fast on the internet. Here today ..... gone tomorrow!

Anyway, I just stopped by to post some information. I will have to come back and give you a longer update on what's been happening in my life on the web. I have some very exciting information to share with you!

Most people think I'm crazy for some of the things I've been doing lately. Besides advertising my affiliate programs, I've become involved in several projects that can be time consuming.

I stated in my last post that Global WealthBuilders Offshore Privacy Club was reorganizing, well they sold the rights to their membership to someone else that is creating a totally new company! Actually it's not new, it's been in existence for several years and has a great record for producing some really fantastic products! Everyone in the forum are writing testimonials about all the different products. If you wouldn't use the products yourself, do you think anyone would buy them? The products are getting marvelous results for our members. During the Christmas holidays I presented some of them to friends and family members and they've come back for more!


In the meantime, I've been really busy at some of the new Web 2.0 sites that  have launched on the Internet recently. I created a new e-book called Becoming a Social Networking Online Entrepreneur. Here's a direct download of the e-book. Yes, I'm giving it away for FREE!

The e-book contains:

• routines that you must develop at the sites in order to get noticed by the search engine,
• a list of social networking sites that pay,
• information on how to get started at a social networking site,
• what to put on your profile,
• a brief history about social networking sites and much more.

I've also been working on a rebrander package so I can distribute the e-book as a viral one. If you don't know what a viral e-book is then let me give you a quick explanation.

When you open a regular e-book that contains links you can usually go to a site and find out more information. If it's a link to refer you to an affiliate program and you join .... that's all there is. With a viral e-book you can change the referral link and make it your own e-book for re-distribution!

The rebrander package will also have:

• web pages to create a web site,
  
• banners,
• splash pages,
• a squeeze page,
• plus an instruction manual.

The instruction manual will explain how to rebrand everything and get started with advertising YOUR e-book! I've also created a blog pertaining to social networking so I can give you information that you can use or updates on the rebrander package!

The blog site is new and has a lot of extras that you just don't get here! If you are tired of pinging and would love to have a blog that allows you to create meta tags and more, select the image below to get started!

That's just the first project!  Those of us that enjoy helping our fellow Associates at the new club  (to be announced later) are coming together to create a conference room where we can socialize and learn how to work our business. There are several members that have volunteered their time to help copyright some e-books, train to become Moderators for the conference room and anything else we need to do to help everyone in our club to become very successful on the Internet.

One of my fellow Associates actually volunteered a HotConference Room for us to use at no charge! I volunteered to manage things and get everything started. So far, I've created web pages for the room and most of the volunteers are working on the e-books. We've already had several Moderator Training classes in the room!
