Just a note to address the video issues going on with this site right now.

Up until today I was paying for a premium video account over at Blip.tv. They have informed me that they have elected to cancel my membership because ”selling through videos is against their policy”.

Strangely enough, as my readers know all too well, I, too am against any selling in my videos, and none of them contain any kind of sales whatsoever.

Further investigation reveals that they have recently cancelled a number of authority sites from the use of their system.

My guess is we were using too much bandwidth, or perhaps Bliv.tv marketing gurus decided that all the exposure we were providing them at no cost was just a bad thing. Maybe they need to get out of the city and get some fresh air, who knows :>)

Needless to say, I strongly advise against the use of Bliv.tv, or any of their services. My staff and I invested about 300 hours in converting and uploading videos to their system, not to mention endorsing them on a massive scale, as well as paying the monthly fees.

So, at this time, as I prepare for the conference next week in Orlando, we are also trying to locate a respectable and professional video service provider to restore the videos on this site and a few others.

As Blip.tv has evidenced that our loyalties to them were ill-placed, I am open to suggestions from eaders on other video service providers capable of multiple format conversions and RSS feeds of video data to iTunes for syndication.

From everything there is something to learn, and in this case I would have to say that we will run a longer trial before committing time and money to future third party service providers.

In the mean time, if you don’t mind putting a note on all of your blogs and sites telling users to avoid using Blip.tv services, I think you will be doing your readers a real service, and they will respect your attempt to protect them

Thank you for your patience as we get this sorted out.

from such unscrupulous service providers.

Cheers!

Start 2009 Off With a Huge BANG!

Come on out to Orlando for the Earn1KaDay Internet Marketing Summit and see Willie Crawford, Craig Beckta, myself, and a long an impressive list of keynote speakers right next to Walt Disney World.

Make a family weekend, you won’t be worried about price, as it is without a doubt the BEST DEAL going in conferences.

It will cost you about 1/4 the price of similar conferences to see these speakers, not to mention the awesome location. Bring your family for the weekend, it’s probably even a deductible business expense for you!

I genuinely hope to see you there!

Start 2009 off in a big way. Networking is everything, and this is THE GROUP to meet, as they have all made their marks in Internet Marketing.

Remember, it’s not just what you know, who you are “hooked up with” is equally, and often even more important.

Get in on the ultimate list of networkers in IM. Get to Orlando for the Earn1KaDay IM Summit!

If you have any questions, or would like to arrange a sit-down together, drop me a line at ron@davies.ca

Cheers, and see you in Orlando!

I use 36 WordPress plugins to power my blogs and need every one of ‘em.
But that’s just me #;>)

Most of the plugins once set up are relatively invisible in my day to day blogging. Many of the ones I could not work without many other professional bloggers didn`t even know existed. I love to research this stuff!
( I know it’s a little sick..)

Here`s your chance to take a look inside my blogs and see what makes them tick.

Some of these plugins are incredibly powerful SEO tools, some greatly simplify keyword tracking and management, while others work small miracles with RSS, and tags when I hit the ‘ole `Submit`button for my post.One even completely automates updating the entire WordPress system when new versions come out.

If you want to know how I use any of them, let me know and I will explain or do a video. My videos often end up on the plugin`s home pages, so they can`t be too bad.

Here is the killer 36. Tell me which ones you use right now.
