I know all of you are absolutely rolling in the dough already, but if you are looking for a new office-work opportunity, this one rolled across my in-box this morning. I don't code (only write) and apparently buying cabinet hardware from Overstock.com makes me a recruiter as well. I don't care...

There are plenty of posters around offering link wheels and easy links for pennies on the dollar. While these links are on social sites such as wetpaint.com and squidoo.com, they are frankly rather embarrassing to show to clients. The links are certainly there through relevant keywords, but the...

Y’all love SEO articles and basic content around here with good reason – basic article writing has a specific purpose and since you almost always need it in bulk to maximize those keywords, you also need it cheap. If I were pushing hundreds of articles about [insert latest fad keyword here]...

Outstanding for the contestants if they are all hoping to be working for Vicky's some day, but not as much fun as the "old" talent competition used to be. I'm pleased Texas got good odds, but then, the odds are from a Texas source. :) Miss USA preview | Photos | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

I don’t normally mix business with business, but I’m going to make an exception in this case. As most of you know, I teach English and Reading at an alternative high school. These are kids that have already been failed by the traditional high school setting and curriculum and almost all have...

I have no interest in aquariums, but the husband has a 90 gallon salt water tank that he would live in if he could. Thinking of getting him a magazine subscription for the V-day (really romantic people live in my house) and wanted to know if anyone has any good suggestions on one that might be...

I’ve been around the marketplace (meh.) and watched some of the self-combusting designer threads of late, and I know I’ve seen comments by other pros in copywriting and design in other discussions, but I didn’t pay close enough attention. I like to know who the other pros are around the forum...

Press releases get a lot of lip service for backlinks and SEO value, but an effective press release is more than a loosely modified article full of self-promotion with a keyword link. In fact, if your press release is full of self promotion and reads more like a sales page, you’re hurting...

Doing some teacher stuff at B&N today and saw it on the front display table - has anyone picked it up yet? The first one was pretty entertaining - I wonder if this one will be even better...

So I’ve done some time on DP in a past life, and haven’t been back in a while. I started a little link sale over there and decided to drop by the copywriting forum to see what a few old pals are up to. It took me twenty minutes to sort through the I-must-boost-my-post-count-to-earn-clout...

Love him and his many ventures to death, but my husband needs to keep his cash flow up so he’s agreed to let me whore him out. Why? Many of his current projects are more trouble than they are worth and his new ventures are still in development. At the moment, he spends too much time staring at...

I got a ticket the other day in my own school's school zone. Fortunately I wasn't caught speeding or texting (I do have a decent IQ after all) - they got me on an expired inspection and registration while I waited on someone crossing the street (slowly). Just hadn't gotten around to taking care...

Pretend you’re going to build a new site or revamp an existing site. You could write the content and such, but prefer not to as your time is valuable and writing takes more time than you have at the moment. You want to outsource as much of the site development and SEO in a single package as...

Anyone want to own up to seeing the latest and greatest Harry Potter? I've read the books multiple times and like to see how closely the movies tie in to the story line - occupational hazard. Can't get to the movies until next Friday, so I was curious if anyone had an opinion on the latest...
