What you do is add certain JavaScript to your site. The original code is at http://sizzlejs.com, but there is a faster way to implement it and to see where it goes in your web pages.

Here is a link to an article at EzineArticles: http://ezinearticles.com/?Antique-Avon-Barbie-Doll-Collection&id=1333199

If you copy some text, copy and paste, you will see a reference to EzineArticles has been added.

Looking at the source code for the web page you will see a JavaScript reference to this file:

/min/file/c7e14123ed8568e6a0b4b4c88806433f1316613090.js

You can click on the link in the source code to see the JavaScript text. Do a search for ‘Ezine’ to see where the EzineArticles text has been added to the script.

Add to your website and of course change as appropriate.

.

They will sent multiple emails per day. The content is questionable.

Most importantly – there is no opt-out.

Thank goodness I have a practice of using one-time throw-away email addresses and not my primary one to sign up for lists like this.

Trust me – run away from this company as fast as you can.

And remember, when you sign up for a list never use your primary email. Use an email you can immediately discard if need be, but from which you can forward messages to the primary email.

But hardly anyone helps their users bookmark their website.

This is a really easy fix to make.

Here is some easy to use JavaScript to insert into your pages to promote the bookmarking of your site.

You can see the implementation and how it works at the bottom of this Vandor Cookie Jar website.

Simple. Insert the JavaScript into your web page and that’s it.

Of course you can offer more options, such as social bookmarking, Facebook likes, and so on. But those are all third party sites. With a bookmark it is in the user’s web browser and always accessible no matter what website they are visiting.

That’s the problem with using a hosted, third party autoresponder like Aweber.

As this is written, Aweber is almost completely blocked from major email providers …

Yahoo
Gmail
Hotmail

But NOT one word to Aweber’s customers letting them know of the blocks.

This reminds me of when Aweber’s service was hacked and emails were stolen – no notifications were sent by Aweber to it’s customers.

A self-hosted autoresponder script like this one is what you need to have as a backup.

If anything else, as a backup and alternative to Aweber.

When you read the following, remember that you are PAYING Aweber for each subscriber on your list, monthly, even if AWeber is blocked and your emails are not being delivered.

Recent comments about AWeber being blocked:

“[B]asically Yahoo has closed their door to us, but we are working on it. We send the emails out, but Yahoo is blocking them.”

– As reported from an AWeber Customer Representative

“Here’s the REAL deal…

Aweber is currently having TONS of issues with their mail servers being blacklisted and this has been going on for whole month…

Recently – a live chat with an Aweber rep revealed the Aweber mail servers used to send your messages…

After they gave these – a quick blacklist check showed that ALL BUT ONE of the servers were blacklisted…”

– Coby, AWeber Customer

“Yes, Aweber must be having problems. I have a bad problem with getting yahoo people to change from unconfirmed to confirmed on my list. I just created a few yahoo accounts, and tested them. I also had friends with yahoo accounts test my optin also. Nothing was delivered.

My spam scores according to Aweber are 0 for each message.”

– ‘robsterhews’, AWeber Customer

“I don’t think this is restricted to Yahoo either. I’ve just logged in to my Aweber account and every single person who has not confirmed are Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail – nothing else.”

– Annie Pottinger, AWeber Customer

“Just exported my lists from Aweber then cancelled after five years of continued use. I’m going to start sending the emails from my dedicated server …”

– Kane Insurance

“This is one of the downsides to using a third-party autoresponder service to send out your e-mails.

If their servers get blacklisted (for whatever reason) your e-mail deliverability plummets too – even if you did nothing wrong.

Your deliverability is dependent upon what other list owners who are sending from the same IP block are doing….

For me, going the self-hosted route has little to do with pricing at all.

It comes down to one thing: CONTROL.

With my own self-hosted solution, I’m in control of the most important asset in my business – my list.”

– Shaun Oreilly

Keep in mind that email blocks come and go. Hopefully, this will go

The main point is, while Aweber can be a great service it is not necessarily the best service at all times, for every purpose, for any business.

Why be locked into one provider that controls your ability to communicate with your customers and subscribers?

At a minimum, get a cheap autoresponder script and you install and can use as an Aweber alternative when the need arises.

Insurance is always important.

Publishing tips:

Embed all fonts when distilling a pdf version.
Book must have a title page.
Book must have a copyright page after the title page. Copyright page includes copyright notice and ISBN.
Last page of book must be blank.
Best if page count divisible by 4, or blank pages may be added to end of book.
Saddle stitch is format of Dan Kennedy newsletter – paper folded over and stapled in the middle. Pages must thus be a multiple of 4.

This was solved be commenting out the Wordpress rewrite code.

At this time I have not investigated the Wordpress change or if there is any detriment from deleting the code. It does not seem to have affected the urls for existing pages and posts on the website the problem was discovered on: NFL Lawsuit.

Initially, it was not clear that it was getting these results itself. It appeared that it was instead using another service.

Then after a couple weeks it completely went down. Perhaps the service it was relying upon did not like the fact giftedseo.com was trying to piggyback upon its efforts.

Anyway, that and mysql errors have doomed this service.

From the outset it was questionable why this was a free service (i.e., whether it might be harvesting your keywords).

If you see it again just avoid it.

Update: Found an even better service that is faster and gave me a perfect pdf with proper colors, fonts, page layout, and preserved all hyperlinks. (Trust me, this is hard to find). It is http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert

There is a free online service called FreePDFConvert.com which will do the conversion and preserve your hyperlinks for the PDF file.

This is a super timesaver. The last thing you want to do is manually add hyperlinks to your PDF file.

The only downside I have found is a limited font set. If you have fancy or special fonts the online conversion process will change them to a plain Arial or Times Roman type font.
