How to Write Qassia Intel

So, you’ve joined Qassia and are ready to write some intel (Qassia’s term for articles). But how should you go about doing this? I’ve seen a lot of intel on Qassia that is poorly written, in my opinion. Not that the articles themselves are bad. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. If you haven’t yet joined you need to...

How to Wrap Text Around an Image

Someone asked me how to get text to wrap around images so I decided it would make a good post. What this person wants to do is the following: This is a picture that I included just have a picture here. I’m writing now just to take up space so you can see what text looks like that wraps around an image. In this case the image is aligned to...

Qassia is Back in Business

As many of you found out, Qassia was not working over the past few days. It turns out their server ran out of space and crashed. The good news is they aren’t likely to let that happen again and you can now join up. As I said in my prior post about Qassia, you need to join up using someone else’s link. You can join using my link and get...

My Thoughts on WordTracker

Do you know that I’ve had a subscription to WordTracker for at least four months and have hardly used it? I don’t know why. And I’m kicking myself now because I finally see the value in using WordTracker for building Build A Niche Store (BANS) sites. So what finally made me see the light? Again, I don’t know. Perhaps it...

Common Mistakes when Creating a New Store Page

So, I thought I’d share these mistakes so you don’t make them, too. Whenever you create a new store page make sure you review it before going on to the next page. This way you can...

My Thoughts on Directory Submitter

More than one person has asked me if I have Directory Submitter (aka DS), either publicly here on my blog, or in private via email. The answer to that is, "Yes."

Free Templates for Your Niche Stores

I’m tired of grey. How about you? What I’m talking about is the grey in the default templates that comes with Build A Niche Stores. To combat this grey I’ve created some templates with a bit more color. The best part is you can use them, too! My templates are free for the taking. The only thing I ask in return is that you leave...

How to Redirect Deleted or Renamed URLs to New Pages with a 301 Redirect

The day may come for you, as it has for me, when you decide you want to reorganize your site’s page structure, rename pages by changing the URL name, or delete pages entirely. Whenever you delete or rename a URL it is possible that those pages have already been indexed in search engines. If those pages show up in a search result then the...
