Comment on Protecting Your Computer Using Deep Freeze by Bob H

Bob H — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:41:19 +0000

Deep freeze and clean slate are good softwares. But they are limited to on restoring PC’s on reboot only. I prefer Rollback rx - it allows you to restore to any system configuration at any time. This means you can restore on restart, or yesterday, last week etc.

There is more about Rollback rx at http://www.rollbacksoftware.com

Comment on Freebie Seekers by Chris Williams

I read once that the four most powerful words in marketing were:
New,
Free,
Chocolate, and
Sex.

I always thought that the person who could think up a New way to include Chocolate in Sex, and then give that away for Free, would have all the business they could handle.

Hi Gary,

I actually meant products, services and offers rather than regular content on Web sites and blogs.

And yes, lots of people with different views. You see lots of people using the word “FREE” in their advertisements and offers, although it is proven to attract the wrong kind of people. Even for James Brausch’s Glyphius, the word “FREE” is a negative word (-31); “Complementary” is much better (+103).

Personally, I also get more out of paid courses. And frankly, my own mindset changes and I put a lot more effort into it when I create a paid course. Maybe it’s because I know I will attract the right kind of people with it.

James used the right words when I talked about this subject with him, “You don’t wanna have freebie seekers in your business. They do more harm than good.”

Interesting topic, Marcus! I’m sure lot’s of people will have lot’s of different views on this.

Personally, I think providing very valuable free content can be great in helping to get yourself known as an expert in your field. If the content is so good that the prospect is so wow’d by it then I believe that some of them will feel inclined to buy your stuff since they believe it will also hold tremendous value and because you are the obvious choice to goto.

The preconceived idea that if it’s more expensive then it must be better is also very powerful. I, myself get tons more out of a course if it costs several hundred dollars than if I get it for free or for very little investment. I guess that is our conditioning?

Thanks for sparking the imagination, Marcus.

Gary

As always, excellent advice. I had a link page at one time, and you are absolutely right–nobody ever visited–I mean ever. I think contextual linking is not only a good way to drive traffic to a site, but also gives your posts more depth and the readers more information, as they can click on that link if they’re interested, and open a whole new resource.

@ bloggernoob - I never got that e-mail you talk about. Besides, you are too late, bloggernoob. You had one week to claim your prize. Again, one week, not three months.

Quick question…

Are you going to follow you own advice an add a links page to this site?

If so I would be interested in swapping links with you when I add mine.

Thanks,

Thanks for bringing that up, Pat.

It is right that you’ll find Web sites in Google’s Top 30 that apparently do not have the main keyword in the domain name.

We need to keep in mind that the URL (i.e., domain name plus what comes after it) makes up to 20% of the ranking factors. On-page and off-page criteria make approx. 40% respectively.

That means that those who did not search engine optimize their URLs but ARE in the Top 30 in highly competitive areas, they usually have thousands if not tens of thousands of links from other site’s to theirs (one-way links, that is) and eventually also their on-page factors straight.

That means in return when you also have the above 80% straight PLUS your URLs search engine optimized, you do have a 20% advantage above your partners or competitors.

Domain names can be irrelevant though. Once a site has really done a good job at SEO and building recognition I feel that it doesn’t really mean that much outside of having something easy to remember. I mean look at wikipedia and others.

You’re so right that people don’t do their market research before buying a domain name. It’s almost like companies such as GoDaddy are sitting there, preying on budding entrepreneurs who haven’t taken the time to do their homework properly.
