Shoemoney Offers Tools and Training If you liked the recent post on getting great back links with good page rank then you should take a look at Shoemoney Tools and the corresponding free training called ShoemoneyX. And one of the best internet marketing gurus, Jeremy Shoemaker, is now offering an inexpensive 9 day trial for $3.95 to his exclusive marketing toolset.

I have subscribed to his toolset on and off for the past 6 months and really like his backlinker checker which produces more results and more accurate results than the two tools I mentioned in the backlink article. The training I have been working through in my spare time and have found the material very good.

Wordpress Plugins for Better Posting On a site that I am the administrator for, there is a writer who likes to not add site tags to an article but instead adds Technorati tags from within Live Writer to a post prior to publishing. If you have ever used Live Writer and inserted these tags to a post then you know that the tags created are bad. They link to pages that do not exist cause they use the directory structure /tags/ instead of the correct directory /tag/ for each link.

Auto-tags Today I found two plugins that will solve these issues for the writer who refuses to change. The first is called Auto-tags. This plugin works with two different services, Yahoo! and tagthe.net, to add a preselected number of tags automatically to each post that is published to the website. It searches the content of the post for the most relevant tags and adds them. What could be better than automatically tagging posts?

Search and Replace The second Wordpress plugin is call Search and Replace.You have probably...

Page Ranked Links with Affiliate Tools There’s a number of decent articles on the Internet about getting back links to your website by requesting links, writing good content, and leaving comments. But if you’re getting back links on terrible sites that aren’t indexed or have page ranks that look like goose eggs then you are probably wasting your time. I have been there and didn’t like the feeling.

Page Rank Searches With four affiliate tools in two different categories you can find bank links that have good page rank and therefore are worth the time to pursue. The first category is Page Rank searching. I have found two good tools within this category, they are SEO Chat’s Page Rank Search and SERP Analytics Google Search. With these two tools you can find sites with great rankings by keywords that you are focusing on in your writing. And you can search good sites for pages that rank higher than others by using the ‘site:’ directive. SERP Analytics sometimes stops working after too many searches...

Developing a Software Design with Access We had the need for a quick software interface design this past weekend and came up with Microsoft Access as an easy way to layout the forms and add comments which will eventually become the help topics. We could have also utilized Visio or Visual Studio 2008 but the quickness and ease of Access Forms made the process simple. We didn’t use any wizards but opened blank forms widows and began dropping text box and labels as needed.

Grid Control Look-A-Like Buttons were just as simple with all the text available through the graphical interface itself. We expanded text boxes on the far right to add in directions and help information for the developer. Creating a grid was the most difficult part but by using a series of list boxes on top of one another, the design greatly resembled a compiled and running grid control.

Paint.Net and Screenshots Plus saving the work and creating screenshots with Paint.Net was super simple. Editing is just as easy with the ability...

DotNetNuke Module Development If you are looking to get started developing DotNetNuke (DNN) custom modules, a couple of good resources are available to aid in the endeavor. DNN Creative Magazine offers a number of of video tutorials on module development which you can access once you create an account with the magazine’s website. Another good source I found was presented by ADEF with an introduction in addition to using LINQ, DAL+, and Creating a Full Complete Module.

I had hoped to hire out the development of a number of DNN custom modules through the online freelance service, eLance.com. But my first project posting related to software development did not return the kind of developers I was seeking. I am now looking to either spend the time myself to developed the modules or seek out additional resources for this development. I have heard good things about ODesk.com, therefore that will be my next stop in my DNN Module Development project.
