This is unusual for me, to make a post that is not focused on something, however I have some WordPress website updates that could not wait. I guess these may become a regular thing but I will not guarantee it.
$100 Guest Posting Winner
I give away $100 a month to a lucky guest poster on this blog. In August Tim Wicks from http://best-kindle.info/ won the hundred dollars for his post called The Art Of SEO. Even though it was posted on the 16th of August it still won with the most unique traffic hits. Ben’s post about 18 link building techniques which was posted on the 22nd of August was a very close second.
If you think you can write some killer content like these guys did then please join in with this website and start guest posting now. You better watch these two guys I mentioned above, as they will probably be in the running for September’s money too.
Commenting Rules on This Website
I have been working on a new set of commenting rules for this website. The article will be posted in a few days and when this is done the new rules will be set in force.
One of the rules is that people must use their real name@keyword or just name. It is really driving me crazy that people put their keyword in the name section when I have installed keyword love and comment Luv to give you links. I have let some people slide through because I know them, however I will not do this now.
Updates for WordPress Websites Case Study
If you missed the post about my recent WordPress website case study, be sure to check it out. Anyway I just thought I would let you know that the website has made $300 so far this month. That’s only 3 sales but I am hoping to make as much as last month or hopefully more. Here is a screenshot from commission junction.
I have started guest posting using links pointing back to this case study website. I have done three so far. Will see what happens with that.
Shock News – Dave Navarro has closed down “The Launch Coach”
not sure if any of you know Dave Navarro but today he closed down his famous website and product “The Launch Coach”. he does not really give a good reason why and it is really no one’s business. I am a little bit worried about this because he has also decided to give away every product that he has ever made. This is a total shock to me as I cannot even imagine why he did this.
You can read his goodbye note and also access all of these products at this link http://www.thelaunchcoach.com/goodbye-my-friends/
Dave has mentioned that he will welcome donations but it is not mandatory. When you see the content that he is giving away, you will definitely feel guilty by taking it without donating.
Anyway that’s it for the WordPress Website Updates.
What do you think about Dave Navarro closing his doors?
Are you interested in submitting a guest post here?
It would be an honor for me to write for you and contribute to your blog Mitz!

Hi Noel
Just sent you a login! 🙂
Very true about the commenting, even if we are more for links than for content we must respect the rules of site 🙂 Take care!

Your $100 Guest Posting Winner is a great chance!! Good job Mitz!
Congratulations on your success with the web site on hosting plans, and thanks for the updates to your case study
I’ve check out Dave Navarro website….I don’t know him,during the next days I’m going to explore his resource and make a little donation
Paul recently posted..Social Networking CMS – Stand alone solutions
Yes the site is plodding away…
I really don’t have time for it though and might have to sell it…
Why haven’t you put a guest post in Paul? You have some great tips to share????
Would be an honor for me to write an article for this blog, but for now I do not have the right skills to explore thoroughly a topic relating to the themes of your blog
In any case, post here, is my goal and I hope to do a good job when the time comes
Paul recently posted..Social Networking CMS – Plugin solutions
Ahh Paul.. I see you as having a lot to share already! 🙂
Hi Mitz, sorry for giving out a blunt comment the other day without stating my name. Anyways, totally have no idea on why Dave Navarro decided to that as well… His contributions were amazing in fact.
Ricardus from recently posted..How to find ideas to post new article in your blog
No probs Ricardus!
I Have no idea about Dave either but your are right, his contributions were amazing! I hope people realize the value of his content.
I consider knowledge as blessing and always try to share what is the best in my knowledge. I am not too good at wordpress knowledge but this blog is helping me a lot.

Everytime I see Dave Navarro I keep thinking of the guitarist from Janes Addiction. I’m surprised he’s not “David Navarro”.

Ahh didn’t realize I was so close, I’ve got another post in the works right now 🙂
Thanks for sharing the news about Dave, that’s pretty sensational stuff. I wish he had elaborated a bit more on his reasoning for giving everything away, I really would have eaten that up.
Ben recently posted..3 Steps to Analyze and Copy Your Competitor’s Backlinks
Yes it was..If the competition went a few days more you would have had it…
Yeah the news about Dave is a bit of a shock! All that hard work! There must be something pretty important going on for him to do that! 🙂
mitz recently posted..5 Tips to Getting your Comments Approved on this WordPress Website
I don’t know Dave, but it seems really odd he’s giving away his stuff. It reminds me of my grandmother just before she passed away. I’ll have a look and see. Thanks for the heads-up.
Anne Lyken-Garner recently posted..Have You Enabled Adsense For Feeds
Yes I am not sure why he is doing this but it is a lot of hard work he is simply giving away.
By the way..great post about enabling Adsense in feeds! 🙂

Hey Mitz,
I have multiple websites built on WordPress platform. They are doing well. Your articles will be really helpful for us. Thank you for sharing.
I am interested in good plugins, new SEO tips and unpopular but good monetizing methods.

What do you mean by unpopular monetization methods?

Hi Dan did you go and get the free products from the launch coach?
My daughter will be so happy that she can finally get her blog updated to the latest version of WordPress. Your tutorial is so clear that she’ll be able to do the upgrade herself. This is so cool! btw – you do a great Ileane impersonation too. You’re awesome dude! LOL!!
Not sure what you mean by Ileane impersonation? What did I do?
Hi Mitz,
This is my 2nd day on your blog and really looking forward to contribute something from my side to your blog.
