Hey folks;

Nov. 17th, 2004

Hello once again and welcome to the many new members, we continue to grow each week. As usual you are getting this newsletter because you subscribed. See the link at the end of the newsletter if you no longer want to receive my tips and ramblings...grin... though I hope you do continue to join me.

One reason is being an automatic member of my membership site as it is going live this issue. Yeah I know... finally... after me saying it over and over again. More on that later.

Some newsletter archives are at:
http://crazywebguy.com/crazy-archives.htm

Be sure to sign-up for the CrazyWebGuy Show/Teleseminar with Becky Hagel tonight. Read about it further down in the newsletter. "No-charge" of course.

Ok, onward we tread with the Crazy Web Guy Notes & Newsletter:

Members Area In Progress

Finally started working on the members area, so now the current subscribers are automatically members. You will notice starting this issue that any ebooks and files will also be available at the members area to download. So if you miss anything it will be there in the members area as well.

Visit the "crude" beginning of the member's area at the link below. Crude but functional, now it's a matter of getting all of the resources uploaded and listed. You will need the user name and password shown:

The below password will change each month for the time being:

user name:   XXXX
password:   XXXX

http://crazywebguy.com/members/members.htm

This will be refined once I decide on the membership software to use. If you know of or use some good membership scripts or software please let me know.

The online issues of the newsletter will not have the user name and password posted.
So you need to sign-up to be a member to get access to the members area.

Willie Crawford Interview

One resource that should be available next week is a CrazyWebGuy show I did with Willie Crawford on how he generates a six figure income on the internet. I'll post that in the member's area as soon as we get the audio ready, so hopefully we will have it ready next week some time. I'll notify you as soon as it is available.

You can read more about Willie at:

Resources and Tools

Newletter Formatter

Do you publish a newsletter or write articles?
Do you have a problem formatting it to the proper length to submit to publishers to send to your readers?

As you know or if you don't then, most publishers and article submission directories like to have the articles in a certain format, such as 60-65 characters to each line and blank lines between each paragraph.

The below site does this for you easily. Paste in your newsletter copy, set the line length and click format. It formats it to the right length and number of characters you specify for each line. Note you do have to have the text in paragraphs already.

======================================================

Copywriter Stephen Dean has furnished a no-charge ebook called "Inside The Purchase Process". This is a good 15 page report on getting more from your sales copy and getting a better response from your potential customers.

You can download it in the members area or grab a copy below:

Right Click and choose "Save target as".

You will need the Adobe reader to read the PDF ebook.
Download Adobe reader here if you don't have it:

Stephen is being billed as one of the most affordable yet very effective copywriters. People such as Ryan Deiss, David Garfinkel, and several other experts have used Stephen's writing ability. Be sure to check out Stephens site here:

Hyphens in domain names - good or bad?
What about underscores?

Check out these forum posts on some tests done using hyphens versus not using hyphens in keyword rich domain names. Seems hyphens are still seen as spaces by Google. When buying domain names I almost always get both domains if they are available. Such as:
mydomainname.com and my-domain-name.com.

On the same note they tested underscores and they were not recognized as spaces in the words. Go figure. Of course all of this can change next week. So goes the search engine game.

Anyway check out the test info and posts at the below link:

[Article]

Basic Search Engine Optimization Results

I wrote an article on some results I have received using some basic search engine techniques and tips recently. It's a long article so rather than include it in this issue of the newsletter just go to the link below to read it online.

Well that's it for this issue, more coming soon. I do hope everyone has a safe and blessed Thanksgiving coming up next week here in the USA.

Hope to hear you on tonight's call with Becky.
