Blogging Rocket has thrown out the mailing list model. !Gone! It’s finished in our opinion. With the death of the ebook, it’s obvious that the mailing list model is going to go the same way. With everyone so keen to avoid spam building a mailing list was never going to an easy thing to do. So – [...]

Title Tags in WordPress Themes
Here is a quick WordPress tip I thought I’d share with you all. It concerns the <title> tag in your WordPress Theme. Most of them are badly formed in my opinion, so with a little research, cribbing of other peoples ideas and trial and error I think I have found the best title tag arrangement. Open [...]

Netiquette
I wrote this article almost a year ago. I then left it on my PDA and forgot it existed. Tonight I had a conversation with my wife about an email she received which she didn’t like the tone of. I told her it’s very difficult to judge the ‘tone’ of an email because you have [...]

Affiliate Pin Board Launches
All you have to do is head over to APB: http://www.affiliatepinboard.co.uk/affiliates/ and tell them about your affiliate program. They want to know about any and every you may run, or even just be are part of. APB will then follow your affiliate link and sign up to the program too and then make a post about it on the blog. This means that APB are then your 2nd tier affiliate (if that's a feature of your program) and the post on the blog will help to promote your money making efforts.

Are ebooks dead?
This is a question I think a lot of people need an answer to: Just how effective are ebooks these days? I ask because we all know that the: “Free ebook when you sign up to our mailing list” is just a ploy to get you to optin. Everything is free upfront but further down the line [...]

Blogging Rocket MiniTips 
I make bookmarks of my most visited pages and my browser defaults to a local homepage on my Mac that has links to my frequent haunts, but I seem to be typing …/wp-admin all the time.
It’s not a hard folder name to type – but I wish it didn’t contain a dash and was slightly shorter. So I went and renamed my ‘wp-admin’ folder to ‘admin’.
Here is a tip: don’t do it because [...] Continue Reading…
Did you know there was an sweet spot for blog post length? It’s approx 300ish words according to my research. So how do you count your words? As I’ve said many times before don’t use Word to type your blog posts, so that means using Word’s count facility is out of the question. So what should you do? [...] Continue Reading…
