...For a long period in human history, dogs have been the friendliest animals to human beings. Human beings attempt to coach their dogs so that they can behave almost as similar as human beings behave, and in some cases assist them in performance of specific duties. Even though dogs cannot speak like humans, they can listen and understand when given instructions. There are many aspects involved in training dogs, but the three that are the most important are: (1) Positioning; (2) Obedience; and (3) Rewards. First, positioning is telling the dog to do something at a certain position. Second, obedience is telling the dog a specific command or task to complete. Third, rewards also known as treats are given to a dog when he or she successfully accomplishes...

...So how did I take a site from 0-450 visitors per day (on the weekend mind you, much slower) and earning over $5 per day in adsense alone AND on the first page of msn for its main keywords in less then 3 weeks. Unfortunately I won t be showing this site as I did in the last post. Due to many reasons. Only a few now about it, and heck you could probably find it anyhow. (I know the investigative powers of the warrior forum) The first step that I take when looking at building a new site is the keyword research, and topic research. There are many ways you can go about doing this. My fav way at the moment is by using The Dowser tool, also I use wordtracker and even a free tool. http://www.123promotion.co.uk/ppc/index.php Once there, start running your list ideas through the keyword tool and look for something which has a decent traffic count in overture. (I choose overture as an example because it is widely recognized). I usually target niches with 80,000 upward searches per month for the main keyword. This way you are bound to be able to drive some good traffic to your site. The recent site I picked had 1,000,000 searches per month. Then I would plug in some of the top sites into SeoElite and find out how much seo the main sites are doing and how hard or easy it is going to be to beat them. Next thing I do is research affiliate products and adsense ads available for that keyword. The adsense ads you can do either in The Dowser tool. Or you can go to http://www...
