How Much Do You Read?

by admin on July 6, 2008

One thing I have learned over the last 2 years since quitting my corporate job, and pursuing my Riding and Training is the importance of reading. I used to sit around at night and watch TV, now I find myself watching less TV and reading more books. My philosophy at first was hey, if I am gonna be broke for a little while I might as well be smart.

This quickly turned into a passion for me, and now I devour books probably more than I should. At any given time I probably have 3 or 4 books that I am in the middle of reading with ten more that I plan on buying.

Dave Tate talks about the importance of reading in his book Under The Bar, This should be required reading for anyone interested in pursuing their dreams or starting a business.

Under The Bar

The only thing that seems to be missing here is that plugin that allows you to interlink your blog content, cloak affiliate links (or any other links), add the no follow attribute and stuff like that. Actually, it lets you do a whole lot more than that but some of the highlights include the simple ability to just write your blog like you normally do and then have links automatically inserted. It’s great for creating affiliate links but it is also a powerful SEO tool as it can automatically interlink the page and posts on a blog with different anchor texts. SEO Smart Links can automatically interlink your content to key pages deeper into the site improving both search engine rankings (by using relevant anchor text in the links) and search engine crawling of your site. So the bottom line is that through automatic interlinking of your pages you will get better rankings and through automatic affiliate linking you get more commissions. Professional bloggers use this tool quite a bit but even the casual blogger will find it very useful. Check it Out -> http://cash411.info/go/223
