Traffic Travis is a fresh new tool I’m recommending to you. As I always say, “what’s an SEO specialist without his tools?” This tool makes life a heck lot easier for me. And just so you know, the Traffic Travis team has allowed me to give away 10 professional editions of their software.
Want one? No? I’ll tell you why you SHOULD want one.
Who the heck is Travis?
I honestly don’t know. But what I do know is that Traffic Travis is a tool that caught my attention with the recommendation of our linkbuilder, Jason Acidre. It’s a cheaper and simpler alternative to the well-known SEO tool, Market Samurai. I also tried Market Samurai but I wasn’t really too impressed because of the fact that it runs on Adobe Air and eats a lot of RAM when left open compared to Traffic Travis which runs on it’s own executable platform.
As an SEO tool, it gives you the ability to gather data on a lot of SEO-related information about a certain website. Those data can be acquired for free from different other tools (which I previously used) but then those tools do not have the integrated functionalities for its data to work with each other unlike Traffic Travis does. Also, why waste time going through a variety of free tools when you can have all the data gathering you need in one place?

What to do with Black Hat SEO | SEO Marketing | SEO School | Learn SEO Online
This is a very interesting (and funny) video that I stumbled upon in Youtube. The question is: “What should we do with the Black Hats?” Should we kick them out? Hate them? Love them? Give them a job?
I personally like Rand Fishkin’s answer. Very profitable. But that’s just me. The 50 different SEO practitioners in this video have very interesting answers.
Enjoy!
Be the Difference | God and you
In our time today, mediocrity, consistency and loyalty are respected. Faithfulness compared to fruitfulness is more recognized. Perhaps this is why many students feel not the need to excel. And no wonder many of our citizens stick it out in their jobs without the need to have a sense of fulfillment. Thus, the world knows ‘loyalty’ than prestige.
That little difference can give God glory
God said in His Word, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made”. Do you believe this? Have you ever thought this verse through?
Do you know that He knows your every gift, each talent and your every skill? Did you know that He was the one who placed that desire in your heart? He made you…wholly and completely. But are you giving Him back the honor and praise for His blessings?
God has given each of us a mission to live. In which case, He uses our gifts and talents for Himself, to glorify Him. All of us recognize skill and niche for something that many of our peers, classmates or workmates don’t even take interest on. I bet even once in your life you’ve also asked yourself why you were good at it, right? So my next question for you now is, why aren’t you stretching yourself?

Five Business Lessons From Fiverr | SEO Marketing | SEO School | Learn SEO Online
If you still haven’t heard of it, Fiverr (on Fiverr.com) is actually a virtual marketplace of services and goods where anyone can make or take jobs for the price of just $5. The idea (the business more of) became an instant hit the moment it launched. Hoards of people wanting to get things done for a measly price of just 5 bucks flooded the site. And because there’s too many people willing to pour out cash, so did those who are actually willing to do those jobs for a quick cash.
First Reaction…
My first reaction when I heard the transaction cost of just $5 was….. [expletive here]… you gotta be kidding me. Isn’t that exploitation? Isn’t that unfair? This is very, very bad for industry competition. But the more I looked into it (and tried the system myself) the more I thought highly of Fiverr and started to see the light in their innovative idea.
Actually, I joined Fiverr because I needed a place to get started with collecting testimonials for a freelance business that I just launched (see my bio). I figured that while I was doing it, might as well earn a few. The low fixed price didn’t matter because I wasn’t really after the earnings. I was just after the testimonials. So the first thing I did was to post a job that I was willing to do (which was logo design) for $5. Then I’ll just wait IF there will be orders, do them and collect the testimonials (and the money which was just icing on the cake).

Screaming Frog SEO Spider | SEO Marketing | SEO School | Learn SEO Online
I haven’t posted an entry here for a while. That’s because I’ve been really busy reviewing SEO tools for you. I filter only the best and simplest SEO tools – making sure it’s user-friendly to every SEO newbie out there. For this entry, I’ll be reviewing a crawler tool called Screaming Frog.
What’s with the name?
I have no idea. But what does it matter? The tool is a crawling tool that displays SEO related data. Unlike Xenu which displays data only related to your links, Screaming Frog displays data that will matter to you as an SEO specialist.
It crawls and studies all your links: Internal, external response codes and URI. It also shows data about your on-site optimization such as: Page Titles, Meta Description, Meta Keywords, H1 tags, H2 tags, Images, Meta & Canonical. Not only that, you can filter the data display to see only the data that you’re concerned with.
How You Can Win over Impurity and Lust
“I’m Addicted to you Baby, You’re a Hard Habit to Breaaaak…”
I’m sure you’re all familiar with this antiquely remembered song as Peter Cetera of Chicago describes how he feels about a certain special someone. Funny how his lyrics then are the perfect personification of impurity.
Understanding impurity
In this generation and age, pornography, sexual immorality, adultery and lust has enslaved many, many men. Yes, even strong men of God. We live in a very sex saturated world that right now we are more surprised when a man says that he does not masturbate than when he says he does. It has grown into some sort of a norm.
“A man is enslaved to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself” – George MacDonald
And isn’t that the right term? Enslavement? We have been plagued by this sin called impurity.
Why do we have to take impurity seriously?
Impurity is a very dangerous sin. It sucks the life out of you. Look at how our world has been plagued by impurity today. Broken marriages, broken hearts, insecurity, emotional instability, self-pity, selfishness, and the list goes on and on…

4 Ways on How to Deal With Stress | God and you
Are you being pushed in means and ways beyond your limits? Is getting by with life harder and harder each day? Are you simply tired?
You most probably are and have been at some point that’s why this topic appealed to you. Let me first encourage you that even Jesus experienced stress. And even if looking around, others seem to just be having the time of their life, living la vida loca and dancing in the moonlight; in this human race, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
This entry was inspired by Jesus being crowded upon people lost, wanting to be healed or released from evil spirits as they hear Him passing by. Jesus and his disciples continued their ministry/work even to the point of missing meals.
Allow me to share with you 4 ways God impressed upon my heart as ways on how to approach stress:
