It was almost at 1000 but then I put in a - in the code for my site and I guess it acts as a stop word so I was completely erased from Google. I couldn't get richardmoxley.com but I bought richardfmoxley.com and I have moxley.ca. I feel like I have been doing more selling and worrying about keywords on my blog than getting great content on there. I'm trying to do what Gary saids and be honest and do it in my own style. I have to be careful with Mortgages because if I get reported for saying a certain bank sucks (being honest) they'll come after me. They are also very restrictive on what I can offer as incentives and that stuff. I am really excited about getting this credit book up and going.

Keep it simple. One blog. One Twitter. One FB. However knowing your blog now, I would consider looking deeper into branding yourself on your own name blog. You can always redirect your broker rate site to richardmoxley.com site from here on.... but then again you might have to start over on the indexing in Google. How's your rankings for broker rate going? Got analytics set up? At this stage I would keep the well close to home. Keep it simple. One blog. One Twitter. One FB.

I have been reading and following some of the online marketing gurus and I have a question. What is your suggestion on having multiple accounts for twitter, facebook, ext. As you know I have the mortgage blog but I also am writting a book about credit that I want to start getting all the advertsing started. I also want to get my personal blog set up. Because they are all seperate things show I have seperate accounts for all the sites or should I just put everything together? Hey Jay,

Amazon S3, CrashPlan, etc. (Swapdrive charges $2,800 for only 10GB! That's insane.) The main point isn't actually cost - it's practicality. To send 1TB over the internet would take a very long time (months) on your average connection. More importantly, it would take a long time (weeks) to get it back over the internet. If it's offsite nearby, you drive over, and restore directly from drive. MUCH faster, without the monthly costs. If you don't have very much data (<50GB) , I have room at my house on my drobo - you're more than welcome to backup there for free. $1k / year is an estimate based on my experience with what online storage providers charge.

Can you explain how 1tb offsite would cost me 1k a year? You make a good point about the $80 Tb drive… hopefully my friend has extra ports to plug into.

The idea behind backing up to a friend is you can get insane amounts of storage for basically the cost of a drive. Each of you goes and gets a 1TB drive ($80 or so each) .. Then you attach the drive to your mac(s), back up directly to the drive, then put the drive over at your friend's place. Instantly, you have 1TB offsite of storage with no monthly fees. It is a bit of a hassle, but that would cost you $1K/Year using us. The other thing that's cool is if you loose your computer, you can drive over to friends house and grab your drive / restore over USB/Firewire instead of Internet.. MUCH faster. re>3.1 months. Agreed Our estimates are worst case scenario and change frequently. We should alter the code to make it more realistic/optimistic. Hi Jay,
