WEBCEO - learning how to optimize a website
About October of last year, I purchased this online certification course to certified how to learn SEO using this companies software - WebCeo. I scoped it out after weeks of being hounded from my coworker to get certified (and which he is now currently self-employed providing SEO to clients at $5k-10k /website/ bi-annually).
It looked legitimate and I purchased the software. At the end of the year, with the holidays, and a few deadlines for websites needing to be finished with savinMedia, I've only hit maybe the 3rd or 4th chapter so far. Grrr.... The material is so fascinating, and it makes me want to SEO all my current websites, and revamp them so they can now be found by those Search Engine Spiders!
April and May is beginning to slow down and I should have more time to finish the course, and get certified.
It makes absolutely sense. Don't get me wrong, web and graphic design makes me happy and challenges me to better myself. However, it's not where the main revenue stream is at now-a-days. You can purchase a SITEBUILDER anywhere (ie.: website tonight available at savinDomains.com) or hire some college student for cheap labor. However, how good is it if the website can't really be found by search engines or people???
SEO is definitely where it is at next. And at the prices I've seen other SEO firms hire - a few thousand dollars per website for a short period of time - whew!

DNForum.com - a resource for Domainers and making $$
I've recently had the opportunity to meet and see Adam Dicker (one of the top 20 most influential people in the domain industry) speak regarding the domain name industry. Among his status as one of the most influential people on the internet, he is also the VP of Godaddy's Domain Aftermarket and owner of DNForum.com.
For the several hours I heard him speak about where he comes from, how the industry works and what he does, I fell into complete awe of how much potential their is to monetize the .COM industry. Surely, the .COM boom is a decade past but the ability to make money is still out there, only if you are WISE and if you have the TIME to put in.
Recently, I've signed up for a membership at DNForum.com - a resource for serious domainers to exchange advise, to advertise any domains for sale etc. I highly recommend signing up (starts at $19.99 for a membership), a small price to pay for a resource full of domainer knowledge.
I'll blog more once I start learning more of the tricks of the trade....
