James Martell sent me this note a few hours ago.
I thought you wanted to know.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and family, friends and colleagues.

"Hi Johan,
One of the scariest parts for new affiliates is the fear that
they'll be left in the dark with nobody to turn to when they have a question.
Their affiliate managers won't answer their emails because they haven't made any
sales yet, the affiliate FAQs and Forums are full of people who have been doing
it for years and spit jargon like it's their mother tongue, and every guru on
the internet is willing to help . . . for a price.
I can't stand that. I
love to teach and I think that anybody should be allowed to learn affiliate
marketing""and that nobody should have to go it alone.
That's why, in
April 2007, I started holding live Q&As and Coaching Sessions in my online
conference room for members of my SUPER BootCamp. Since then I have been
meeting with members twice a month. These sessions really are no-holds barred,
ask-me-anything forums for beginners and experts alike. It's great for new
affiliates (or those struggling to break out in the industry) to have an advisor
to turn to.
The sessions typically ranges between 60 and 90 minutes with
anywhere from 25 to 50 people in attendance. I offer multiple ways to interact
(some participants prefer to ask questions using their headset while others
prefer to text) so nobody ever feels awkward about asking. Many folks just
attend these sessions to watch, listen, and learn and that's fine
too.
It's a great learning experience for all. It's also great to be
able to get questions answered on the fly""I've found that to be the key to
keeping people on task and on track.
If a member misses a session
(because of differing times zones or for whatever reason) there's no worries.
Every session is recorded and available 24/7 for play back and
review.
Curious as to what goes on in a Q&A session? Check out this
recording I made of one of my latest sessions:
http://www.affiliatemarketersbootcamp.com/audio/live-qa/march-18-2009-questions.mp3
So,
if you're considering taking the SUPER BootCamp or even if you're just curious,
I don't want you to feel like you need to go it alone. Part of the
responsibility of being a good teacher is being available to answer questions
and I take pride in being a good teacher to toot my own horn a little, hundreds
of my students will vouch for that.
Become a member of my SUPER BootCamp
today and you too can learn cutting-edge publishing techniques, insider tips,
and get any questions you may have about affiliate marketing questions
answered. Join today:

Your Websites' Back-Links; Yes Backlinks You Must Have and If You Don't Learn Here How to Get Backlinks - Now.
I received this note of importance from James Martell - The School of Internet Marketing-
James writes:
Hi Johan
I guess by now most readers know the importance I place on
acquiring backlinks through the publication of feature length
articles on a trusted 3rd party sites :: {PAD}.
But publishing on a schedule to your own site must not be ignored
either because it works hand and hand with PAD by alerting the
algorithms to your web presence.
Google's algorithms see everything these days.
In other words, they know if you've been naughty or nice.
You can't hide a thing.
If you have 30 backlinks but have not posted new content for 6
weeks it thinks, "what gives"?
I thought this site was important and popular???
Yet it looks abandoned.
Not good.
And they see who links to you, too.
Are they good guys or bad guys?
They measure the time each visitor stays on every page and whether or not they drill down on your site to other pages you publish.
They analyze your grammar, your spelling, your punctuation to see
if the author has a grasp of the topic.
You cannot fake it when it comes to content.
And this applies to content published to your own site as well as
content published on other sites.
These housekeeping details cannot be overlooked.
However backlinks are still the difference maker in terms of
winning top rankings.
The Main Way Google Measures Popularity.
As you know Google's algorithms are designed to assign rankings
based on a multitude of factors but the one thing they look for
most is popularity.
In SEO circles I often see exaggerated emphasis on the little
things, while often ignoring the most essential and true things
that drive traffic :: {and revenue}.
For instance Google just announced the 19th Panda update adding it will only affect .07% of search results.
This news is essentially meaningless if your site is already seen
as popular.
I know this is old news to some, but for the benefit of my newest
readers let me remind everyone about why we get backlinks in the
first place.
Back in 1995 Google's geeky founders felt they had a better way to
sort rankings.
At that time the competing search engines relied heavily on
relevancy.
Their algorithms analyzed the code of each web page from top to
bottom, left to right looking for words.
These words were the key to what that page was about.
This way they could make an intelligent guess about what page to
serve up based on matching words typed into a search field with
words found on a page.
Not a bad plan.
But Sergey and Larry took it one step further.
They reasoned that another way to prioritize rankings was
popularity.
Have you ever seen a line up outside a restaurant and thought it
must be good if so many would line up for a seat?
The line tells you something doesn't it?
Yes, it tells you the food must be good otherwise why would people
wait.
Google's algorithms are fundamentally programmed with similar logic.
Google's founders explained it by saying, "a link from another site
was like a vote."
If a lot of sites were *voting* for a page on your site then that
page was automatically migrated to the top using a form or web
democracy.
Of course, it didn't take long for web entrepreneurs to figure this
out resulting in a kind of tug of war between Google and those
trying to engineer top rankings ever since.
Think Of Google As Your Partner
I'll admit to a little gaming-the-system in the early days.
But when Google took out dozens of my best affiliate sites in 2005
I saw the writing on the wall.
From 2005 until this day I am adamant about aligning my efforts to
appease Google's requirements, which are pretty simple to
understand if you mix in a little common sense with a basic
understanding of human nature.
Google wants one thing: a great match for every search query.
If someone types Pink Floyd they get Pink Floyd....probably their
official site at the top, a Wikipedia article after that,
merchandize, etc.
Google would never have become the worlds most popular search
engine unless their Engines reliably served up the most useful
information for users.
This is why I harp on quality content.
By quality I mean, well researched, well written, no typos, useful,
current, pictures, bullet points, great headlines, great sub
headlines.
To ensure all of the above I've been hiring writers since 2004.
It was important back then, but now it is absolutely essential due
to the enormous volumes of competing content being published by
bloggers and mainstream media who now *get* the Internet.
Luckily for me I've developed a fair bit of expertise in this area
even going so far as to develop in-house software to manage teams
of writers, editors and project managers.
And luckily for you I can get the job done on your behalf if you
would rather pay someone else to do it.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to White Rock ; Grant Received [up-to] $4,000 Per Station.
"News You Can Use"

City of White Rock Receives Grant for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
The City of White Rock is one of 71 organizations recently approved through an Early Bird Application process for charging station incentives through the Community Charging Infrastructure (CCI) Fund for the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Incentive. The City will receive up to 75 per cent of the cost of an electric vehicle charging station, up to $4,000 per station.
Under this program, the City of White Rock will install a dual charging station at the City’s Operations Yard for use with fleet vehicles in the New Year.
The Department of Engineering and Municipal Operations conducted a fleet review prior to the grant request and already has plans in place to replace approximately two fleet vehicles with electric vehicles when replacement vehicles are required.
A prime area in the City to use electric vehicles is on the promenade for maintenance work and garbage collection.
Electric gator utility vehicles on the waterfront will produce zero tailpipe emissions and will cost less in electricity than fuel for a gas-powered car.
“From implementing alternate week garbage collection to reduce our waste, to receiving grant funds for electric vehicle charging stations to reduce emissions, the City of White Rock consistently looks for ways to protect our environment,” said Mayor Wayne Baldwin.
“The City is also looking for ways to make a charging station available to the general public in order to encourage visitations from owners of electric vehicles,” he said.
This fund is part of “Plug in BC”, an initiative of the government of British Columbia, in collaboration with BC Hydro and others, to help lay the groundwork for plug-in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
