Post Your Own Articles dot Com

I'm not sure of all the details but I know that RT Cunningham from ConnectContent has handed over the site to Court and Mark from the Keyword Academy. I have had a number of emails asking if it was still operating. I haven't talked with Court about his plans for Connect Content so if I am jumping the gun I'm sure he'll let me know. (I haven't had much time spying in the forum lately so some of you TKA members may be more up to speed than me)

What I do know is that the site is up and running at a .net url. I believe RT had it on a .com url? In any event I was able to log in to my account this morning and everything seems to be working. If you are a member or looking to join the rest of us you can get to the site here; ConnectContent.net




If you don't know what connectcontent is about you can read my post here What is Connect Content

I'm not sure why RT decided to give up ConnectContent but suspect it took up a great deal of his time. He is a busy fellow and likes to play around with the "code Monkeyism" aspect of working online. I do know that he has a knew project up and running called Post Your Own Articles and it caters to "our" crowd. If you need another source for supporting your authority sites then this should be added to your list. The concept is simple enough - post quality articles on the site (no spammy stuff) and link out to your target site. (With properly keyword anchored text of course) You can find out all the details required to become an author and the monetary rewards offered on the Author Requirements page. I'm not being paid to promote this nor is there an affiliate program - just helping a friend and pointing those F.O.G.s who know what they are doing to a new source. Don't forget to send links back to your post pages on Post Your Own Articles.

I'm still evaluating the latest serp update and will be posting about it but one thing has become clear - the best links are unquestionably content links anchored in posts. This isn't a big surprise to most of you but finding authority sites that will allow such links is the hardest part of the equation. For this reason I suggest that many of you should follow RT's lead and create an authority site (supersite) in much the same manner. The more sites available for everyone to use the better - all properly monitored for quality content while offering a source for quality links for users who want to contribute content. The owner gets an authority site because the users will be smart enough to link hubs and lenses and infobarrels etc back to their posts on the authority site which will increase the authority of their own targeted keyword pointing back to their own authority site. And the users get to use the site to target their keywords. A win win...

Another site that you can look at is InnerBuzz - you may recognize many of the authors... 

I'm just about caught up and am finishing off a set of posts about the serp shuffle and a few other things which will be posted on the dormant Make Money Online Griz blog. Just thought I would wait till the shuffle is over and then talk about several little tests I set up for this round of serp bouncing. I've told you how to get to the top of the serp's so I thought I would work out what can get you penalized in the serp's and how you can fix your penalties should you see a sudden drop... stay tuned.
