Send me your login details and I'll upload it for you. You will also need to create your db and the user for that db. After that, you have to use cPanel to add the user to the db with full privileges. After that you just go to your site and WP starts the install process. I can have WP installed in about 3 minutes. I can even have several installations of WP installed in the same DB in about the same amount of time. hahaha

Anyone need their WP installed, PM me. Anyone want to donate some money to my cause? hahahahaha Just kidding. Free help with the server for anyone in this thread.

Did you install Google Analytics? Ever since I installed, they've been to my site almost daily.

I also submitted hit Technorati, Del.icio.us, and stumbled my site too.

I just got finished adding about 24 pages to my blog. Check it out guys and let me know if it 'works'. Basically I added pages for each 'generation' of Honda Accords. Then I added a page of Ebay links with the 'generation pages' as the parents. That way, when the page links show up on the right side of the site, you see the generations then the particular years under them. The 'generation pages' also have links to the individual 'year' pages for some good internal link action.

Am I on the right track here? I also published all the ebay pages on different days of the month.

We'll see.

Would buying 100 directory submissions from Red_Virus be worth it at this point? << Please answer this time. Not getting a lot of answers lately. hahahaha

Shitttt, just deleted style.css on my site by accident and I didn't have a backup. So a 2 hour delay is now in order. Just what I need. And its fucking hard trying to make a custom contact script when I have no idea what I'm doing with PHP haha. I might just hire someone to do it.

why a two hour delay. Just upload the css from the install package you have. Easy, easy. Was is a theme you downloaded or one of the default ones?

It was something I made myself. But everything is back up now. I had a copy of the file that was half way done on my hard drive, and I knew exactly what I had to do, so it was straight forward. I'll send you a PM detailing what I need about the contact form.

Paid a friend of mine $20 to do the contact script. I'm now finalizing the sales content, and working on the ads to find some employees. Let me know if you're interested in a small part time job

Ok guys, I am about to pay Red_Virus for 100 Social Bookmarking DoFollow links. However, I suck at this since it's my first time.

Can you guys have a look at my site and point me in the right direction for writing a description? 250 words or less. How do you guys usually write a description?

Maybe if someone can just help me get started. I don't want to waste my money on this with some bad verbiage.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hey Matt, still offering help on that WordPress install? DB already set up as well as the ftp client.

Matt >> I just noticed your question from above about the directories and now you are in a buying mindset because nobody answered. I say what I do below as an informed webmaster as I have done submissions (manually & paid) and own a directory.

I would suggest against it for 2 reasons.
1> directory submissions should be a good compliment to a link building campaign, not a replacement for one. They really are not that effective for a site that was just launched.
2> by the time the links get approved and indexed, it will be after the 30 days of this noob event.

If you want to do directories, I suggest getting a deal where 25+ links go to 4 different target urls. Build hubpages, squidoo, etc pages that link to your site and get the directory links pointed there.

This helps you out because the free pages get all the link power (not much) that 25 directory links give to it. It then gives some "honda accord" content and passes links to your multiple deeper pages in the site. This would work MUCH BETTER than 100 crappy links pointing to 1 page with the same anchor text ... that smells of spam.

If anyone participating in this thread wants a link in a directory, PM me and I'll give you a free featured one. But don't expect too much from it :]

About your site ....

- Work on your title tags. Remember they are the name of your page and the <H1> text. Across your site they really need to do a better job containing your keywords.

- Work related keywords into your body for both similar but not exact search phrases and the LSI factor. For instance your "least expensive hybrid" article should contain long-tailed keywords related to a main word.

Those keywords above were scraped from google suggest which just places the most popularly typed next word after "honda hybrid". I built that tool the other day that will does this for you, it's built for a programmer but humans could use it too.

As for your main keyword phrase ...

GREAT JOB on the "Make Model Year Part" section on your site. Drop a paragraph above the ebay links talking about car repair, car parts, etc with the "Year Make Model" strategically placed throughout. You might get some searches for "1996 honda accord camber kit" if you play your cards right. Fix title tags here too.

Matt, just PM'ed

Any thoughts welcome please. My 1st thought was a database/directory for this domain, just for the volume of pages, not sure about it now though. Being a financial geared name it is pretty competitive, but I have found some long tails with low searches. Being financial related could also branch off and do different sub-domains: bank loans, home loans, car loans, credit cards, financial aid, student loans, refi and so on, What say you?

You, my friend, chose a very difficult niche to jump into. I'm not sure really what direction to point you into. If you are shooting for organic results, you are going to have a ton of competition. For a directory / DB site I would point you out here, but you've got a long way to go to fill in the blanks if you want every branch in the directory.

Since this is WF, I might suggest some PPC. Use those subdomains you were talking about and make some landing pages. I'm sure someone could point you in the direction of a $100 yahoo or MSN voucher (MSN would be good for finance related ... I think). Should be an easy way to make the $1 required to keep the domain.

You wouldn't have to pay much to get started ($30 for Yahoo) & I'm sure that the guys here can help with the brainstorming for keywords to bid on.

OK, after much thought about what to do about that Kontera trademark I have decided the following. I'm going to build the slick little script on another domain and just avoid any legal shit alltogether.

What to do with ContentLinks.org - Links & Content meta-search engine? Well I still want to play ball here so I pumped out a quick meta-search engine on the domain and will use it down the road to push some link juice to the script. Perhaps I can just rank well for the phrase "content links" and never worry about the trademark.

Steps I took to build the site:
1. wrote the script. This script consists of 4 parts

• XML search results are scraped from 2 search engines on each page load, reordered & then delivered to the screen
• scrape some recent blogs on the search phrase for fresh content
• scrape google suggest for "Related Searches" available for each search term
• Drops adsense up top with a header of "Sponsored Results"

2. Entered the words "content" and "links" into the google adwords tool. Each word returned 150 of the most popular searches related to that word. I downloaded the csv, combined the 2 & sorted by cpc. I took those words that I just got and seeded the site with them (see links on front page).

Thanks to the .htaccess rewrite and an sql backend, every page is static (location) and totally indexable by google, yahoo, etc. The end result of this little site will be a fully automated, 300-400 page site that's really nothing more than a big scraper site that was given some words to work with.

Now to get some pages indexed ...
