Over the weekend I shot a short infomercial to promote Search Tempo SEO services. It was a lot easier than I thought and I’m very pleased with the results. The cost was free as I borrowed a video recorder and used free software to edit it.

I’ve just put the finishing touches on the SEO training courses to be held in Brisbane in July 2007. The blurb goes:
In 2007 Search Tempo will be conducting two-day training courses covering search engine optimisation and search engine marketing. The cost of these courses is $895 per person with a limit of 12 people per course. Here’s a sample lesson:

Brad Callen’s Article Submitter Software is a waste of my time. I just got an e-mail from Brad Callen of SEO elite fame. He’s promoting a piece of software called Article Submitter.
I’ve downloaded and installed it and I have found it to be a waste of my time.
The free version has 100 article directories in its database. The $67 version has over 700 directories in its database.
The only good thing I can say about this software is that it gave me the names of some high PR article sites that I wasn’t aware of. If you’ve got an hour or so to burn, give it a go.
If you truly want to automate the article submission process, get yourself a macro recorder like Hot Keyboard Pro. It’s cheaper than Article Submitter and a lot faster and you can see what’s going on and know that your article got submitted.
Note that I gain no benefit from mentioning Hot Keyborad Pro. It’s great software that I use every day for a wide variety of SEO tasks.
The trouble with the dedicated automatic article submission bits of software is they take forever to respond to what’s happening on the page. If the page changes, they get very confused.
Using Hot Keyboard Pro, I can submit an article to 3 different sites per minute without error. Here’s a screencast showing the process.

I’ve just discovered a very cool tool on the shoemoney.com site
Basically, you enter in your keyword phrase and your web url and see where you rank for that keyword phrase in the major search engines. This saves a lot of time compared to manually looking for your web site in the SERPs.
