I've found corsas to be quite good. Deawoo matiz as well if you don't mind growing a vagina

You need to be a youtube partner.
 
You are not a full partner.
 
If you get 1000 views a day or more I can partner you (I'm CEO of a YouTube network)

Hi all... I hope this doesn't get moved or deleted... this is not an advert!
 
I have been working on my SEO for a website of mine for about 6 months and I have personally gained a lot of information from posting in the forums on this site and one memebr has stood out for responding with simple and effective responses.. 'Jason Dexter'
 
Having improved the initial rank of my website with my own efforts from 'off the chart' to page 11-ish I decided to hire someone for some advice. I had a relatively small budget in terms of the industry standard and put it to Jason to have a look at my site. My primary search term was 'Wedding Photography Leeds' for thatbigday(.co.uk)
 
I am pleased to announce that Jason's Efforts over the last 6 weeks as seen my site jump to position 2 of page 2 - YES I am two places away from Page 1 and that particular search engine still hasn't picked up all of the SEO that Jason has implemented.
 
I feel it is only right to give him a public pat on the back and to say thank you - I most definitely recommend Jason and will continue to work with him in the future.
 
Great work Jason - Thanks again Martin

Make one.

The video itself does not matter. We can't upload duplicates anyway even with permission as youtube sees this and stops you earning revenue on the video you're about to upload.
 
Partners will always rank above ordinary people if they are close or even.
 
Ranking factors on youtube are:

interactions - number of likes and favourites it got, how many comments there are. Always ask your viewers to leave a rating, do not even feel bad about it.
Views, this is a small factor but more views equal higher ranking.
Time, the longer the average person spends watching your video the higher it will rank. This came in about 1 month ago. They also rank on how long the view spends on youtube AFTER the video has finished.
Title, put your keywords in the title. Look at our videos, they all have "photoshop speed art" or something in the title in brackets.
Description, put your keywords here as well!
tags - do not go overboard with tags. the fewer you have the better but don't miss important ones out either.

 
Also learn to use annotations to link to your other videos ect. These increase views by up to 20% we find.
 
Take a look here as well: http://tgn.tv/handbooks/
 
That is not my network but the handbooks they have made are excellent and well worth a read. Also look into the youtube playbook 2.0. Some great content in there and if you're taking this seriously read them.
 
YouTube partners get paid per 1000 views, there were over 150 partners on youtube that made over 100 thousand dollars last year according to youtube. There is big money if you have what it takes. I know channels like epicmealtime and FPSRussia are making over a million a year!
 
Also YouTube to date has only approved around 20 networks, ours took 1 year to get. Good luck.
 
There is great opportunity on youtube, machinima for example is a network and worth around 250 million dollars.

I'm struggling to see where moving to Australia comes into this master plan?? or did you just fancy it?

OVER 9000!

thats the script I use for it. Works well
 
Also OP - android is a flash enabled device? It should play flash no problems.
 
I have an android phone and tablet - both play flash content

Well what are you going to do for iphones?
 
They do not support flash in anyway shape or form

I do these often. They sell quite well.
 
Set up a m.domain.com sub domain.
 
build the site specifically for the mobile devices.
 
then put a script on the main site to detect screen size. if it is lower than 520px wide I ask them if they would like to use the mobile version of the site. This means people on phones or smaller tablets are asked.
 
failing that just talk him into an entire redesign (sell him on flash is bad) and build something thats responsive. I think thats the future for mobile devices.

No one looks past page one but no one goes from page XX to page 1 in a single move for keywords worth targeting. It does not happen to my knowledge. It's a steppingstone to page 1.
 
Google will not punish me - I am doing nothing wrong for the client.
 
My own micro blog network may possibly be hit over time if the algorithm changes, but it's the same for everyone. Adapt or be eaten.
 
 
 
Its SEO. The whole essence of SEO is to exploit your idea of the google algorithm for your own gain. If you are doing SEO you are not letting the net be natural and you are spoofing something...
 
Duplicate content is a waste of time. Google is so on point with this now you have to be stupid to think it will do you good. It is simply ignored while the original content is not punished and it is left untouched.
 
You all may think "OMG robbing ****, £500 a month for SEO"
 
lets do some numbers.
 
You own a psychologists practice.
 
You charge £100 a session to help people with whatever it is they need help with and the average client stays on for 6 sessions. Each and every client is worth £600 to you.
 
You are based on London, the total searches for the keywords "psychologists London" "psychologist in London" and "psychologist London" is lets say 800 a month.
 
If you are number 1 for these terms you can expect at least 56% of all these clicks to be on your website. Cornell university did this study. They actually found it to be nearer 70% for local terms like these as well so that's a conservative number.
 
56% of 800 searches a month = 418 people.
 
You do not search for terms like this by accident. These people want the services you have on offer.
 
If you can only convert 2% of these 418 people that's over 8 people worth 4800 every single month to you.
 
If we cut it down further to 1%, 1 in 100 people looking for what you offer. that is still £2400 a month in sales from SEO.
 
This model does not work for all businesses. For example SEO on a chip shop would be pointless you would not see the value but good SEO should pay for itself over and over and over every single month.
 
It is worth every penny of £500 a month if you have a high enough customer value to make the numbers work.

I charge £500 to set up and £300 every month after that.
 
The £500 is to alter the site - make sure every page has all the tags it needs and in the correct places. Make sure link structure is good. Make sure we have G analytics's and G web master tools and other tools set up to monitor process.
 
This also gets the competition looked at and analysed and a clear battle plan along with notes of all changes are delivered to the client.
 
Month after month £75 of that £300 is outsourced to content writers. I get 4 well written articles. The person I use is a professional and I get an excellent price as I did a deal with him to deliver plenty of work his way.
 
A large proportion of the original £500 is spent on domains and I aim to create my own blog network sort of in his niche - these are all built by me and all link to him from different hosts so nothing looks fishy. I build 10-25 of these per client.
 
If I am ranking for a london hotel I will target london attractions and london shops and london directories and build them and point them towards the client. Maybe hotels in other places could be good. You don't target them directly but you do sort of around their area.
 
These are the links I give him. However the quality content is also linked to by real people and it grows and grows.
 
I then spend my time building these sites and writing stuff myself for them. The other articles are posted to their own website and are linked into my sites.
 
I use some of the £300 each month to grow and grow this little network. I buy $1 .info domains and set up auto blogs and point them towards my network. I do buy links to them, I do all the greyhat stuff because through my sites there is no way I can harm the clients site.
 
I tried this with my own portfolio. I got a new domain, set it up and got myself deliberately sandboxed. No effect at all on my site.
 
I only started selling SEO mid December. I've 3 clients so far.
 
I took one from page 12 to page 4. He is happy with this.
 
I took one from page 6 to page 3. He is also happy.
 
I took one from not being indexed to page 12. She got de-indexed by her last SEO guy. I did this for free to just see if I could do it. She is paying from next month on.
 
Thats my formula. I see myself going into this rather than web design tbh. I enjoy it more.
 
It is no easy money done my way but my structure means I will be making it easier and easier hopefully.
 
My clients get a monthly report - they get to see every link I build, every post, everything. Nothing is hidden.
 
The network is my own meaning as time goes on ect I will get more and more 'powerful' and I will be able to rank people easier.
 
cheers

No idea.
 
but best tip I can give for any sort of interview is interview them as well.
 
Ask them questions. Something like "if someone screws up in your department how do you deal with it..."
 
I've given interviews and it is so much more impressive to have someone like that than someone who will ask nothing. Its like they are not serious or do not want to be there.
 
Ask what the department does, ask what the interviewers role in the department is, ask if your allowed to take your shows off in the office if you're stuck... it shows your thinking about being part of the team ect.

Make sure they put in place measures to monitor the progress for you to see.
 
I put every link I build into an Excel pdf for the client to check out
 
I put every effort into making sure the client can see what I have been doing.

I took him from page 12...
 
He has been doing his own SEO for 18 months posting his own content and getting only from page 14 to page 12...
 
He is made up he is seeing results in 1 month. He knows it will take a while to get where he wants but he is happy indeed.

No one looks past page one but no one goes from page XX to page 1 in a single move for keywords worth targeting. It does not happen to my knowledge. It's a steppingstone to page 1.

You are completely missing something.
 
1.) Internet Piracy can't ever be stopped. It's a reality of the digital age. As the old saying goes if it's done in software it can be un-done in software and any law proposed to combat it is a futile act that will ultimately result in the loss of your rights for exactly zero gain.
 
2.) SOPA is a particularly vicious version. It grants US corporations the ability to remove the DNS records of websites that could potentially be used in the process of infringing copyright. If I can share any kind of media with you on a website, it's liable to be taken with very little restriction.
 
That's pretty much the entire web. This very forum. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr. If a user can have an account the potential is there to violate copyright.
 
It is corporate censorship. Own a blog, put up a video criticising Viacom or someone? Their is practically no barrier to stop Viacom taking your entire website offline because of it.

Doesn't say much for mac keyboards if you used one to type this.

do tutorials for web layouts
 
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/freebies/psd-htmlcss-conversion-tutorials/
 
do some of them - you will be touching up your code as well as design
 
Other than that just play! go find an element you like on a webpage and recreate it from scratch!

http://psd.tutsplus.com/
 
thats pretty good
 
just google "photoshop tutorials"
 
there are millions
 
I also do the occasional one on youtube, if you want anything specific tell me what and if i have a spare couple of hours I'll see what I can do.
 
http://photoshoptutorials.ws/
 
they are good too.
 
photoshop for web design is easy. Its all about learning layers, styles, gradients and the odd filter.
 
thats like 75% of it really.

Android FTW baby.

I really like that!
 
Just sort out the edges on the controller logo thing and that would be awesome
