I am on vacation in Park City Utah this week, but will be posting again next week. The below video was created the Friday before I left, but did not get uploaded until the other day due to technical difficulties and a poor Internet connection.
For now, if you are following the SEO Training series, I would suggest creating a Google analytics account, and installing the tracking code on all pages of your site, or at least your home page and any landing pages you wish to track.
The first thing we do prior to starting an SEO campaign is take a look at the site to be optimized and evaluate a few things. Below is the basic SEO site assessment that I did for Mybarebags.com. I encourage you to do a report like this for the site that you would like to optimize prior to beginning your optimization campaign.
This video introduces a series of posts that will be part of our SEO Training program. If you would like to be part of the series, please sign up to receive updates by either RSS or email.
After signing up for the feed, please send me a message via our contact form indicating that you want to be put on the SEO Training Mailing List.
For this series, I am going to use the site which was featured in the Canvas Shopping Bags post, MyBareBags.com, as the site that I will be doing a 1 month SEO campaign. This will include at least a month of SEO services, free to Mybarebags.com, as I will be posting all the steps involved here.
SEO post featuring Mybarebags.com will include but are not limited too:
A brief site analysis.
Keyword research
Baseline Ranking Report
On-page optimization suggestions for Mybarebags.com
At least one month of Link Building
A Ranking Report at the end of the month.
A Link Building report.
When you sign up to be on the SEO Training mailing list, you will receive not only updates, but you will get materials that I am not publishing here. You will also be able to ask me SEO questions via email during the period of time I am running this SEO Training special.
Need SEO Intern?
Some time ago I had put out a request for interns, and I had numerous people who were interested, but only one was seriously intent upon being involved with the internship. Dunstan Barrett, who is the webmaster over at Free Ipods Ect, will be participating in the program, by doing the SEO steps on one of his sites. Dunstan is an 18 year old entrepreneur from South East England. Thanks Dunstan, I look forward to working with on this project.
Need SEO Training?
What about you, do you need some SEO Training? If you have a site you want to have optimized, why not participate in the program. Are you interested in getting into the SEO business, or in getting an SEO position as a company that has an online presence that is lacking? Sign up.
If you are the former, that is someone who wants to be employed as an SEO or wants to make a living as a Freelance SEO, I suggest that you do as I did with Mybarebags.com, and find a local business or non-profit organization and ask them if they would mind being your SEO case study.
To be honest, this is the first time I had heard of the Online Profits Program, but from Pearl’s post, it seems like a great program that has some really big names in the marketing realm behind the program.

This months featured site is a local company I discovered one day while out doing errands. Mybarebags.com is a site that sells reusable canvas shopping bags. The issue of plastic shopping bags has been covered in previous posts. Plastic bags are something that I believe we need to learn to live without, and adopting a mentality of reusing instead of a disposable mentality is a really good step in the direction of drastically reducing plastic bag use.
I have actually bought and started using the reusable bags that you see at the grocery store. However, according to the owner of Mybarebags.com, Joyce Weand, these bags are made out of “non-woven polypropylene which is an oil-based product (more oil dependency…)” and the bags are only good for so many uses, and will not biodegrade in our lifetime.
Canvas shopping bags like the ones sold by Mybarebags.com are made out of cotton and are 100% biodegradable.
Since I got Lizzie a easel for Christmas, she has no excuse but to paint. She was working on a painting that she has been working on for a few months, when she decided she was going to paint over it and start it over again. I remember one painting she actually painted over four times before she settled on a finished product.
Since she was going to paint over it, I asked her if I could work on it. She said sure. So I did a little outlining in black, then made a black and white of my jowling picture, cropped and cut it out and pasted the picture onto the fat lady. After seeing the additions I made to her painting, Lizzie decided she would keep the picture(for now).
