Hey guys and gals, I’m starting a new blog today 26 dec 08. I’m going to do a step by step SEO of this blog and one other at the same time. We will do each step with video and screen capture. This blog has no page rank or backlinks. I will do some screen shot to show the status of all the sites and blog. Here is my intro video:
If you have any ideas to help make this a great project, just leave a comment or email me. I will be adding an email to the blog in the next day or two. It’s taking me a little longer to use the videos, but I believe we will all get more out of it. Thanks for stopping by..
Now that you have your keywords, it’s time to get started. You will need two email accounts, Gmail and Yahoo. Some of the services that we are going to use you will need them. It’s also, easier to keep up with what you are doing if you use different emails for each blog or site you have. Most of you will not need to watch the video, but it’s here for those that need it.
Ok, Lets get started. The first step to making money online is to find keywords. I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this because there are 100′s of ebooks and website that will teach you. I do know that if you will take some extra time and pick the right keywords that it will make a big different down the road. Watch the video and below I will list the keyword tools:
Has it happens same times, I don’t see the problem right before my eyes. The window as poping up but the background screen was not changing colors or going dark which the effect I was wanting. I found the problem and have made a new video to show how it fix it.
Now have the copy in our header and it’s time to make an image of the YouTube video what we normal embed into our blog or website. I use Snagit to copy the image and save it. Now upload it to your host and you are now ready to make the code change in your listing.
In fact you can use this code and just modify it. Go go YouTube and copy the URl for the video you want to add to your blog. It will look something like this:
Now we need to fix by removing the “watch?” and replacing the”=” with a “/”. So it should look like this:

Now you can replace the text in the first set of code and add it to your blog and you will have done it. Watch the video will help to see how I did it.
Please leave some comments and let me know how this trick was. The more feed back I can get the better I can make this blog and videos.
Now what we have our code on the servicer, we need to add some code to the header. Now you will need to know what theme you using. If you change your theme you will need to make these changes again. Look in the folder for your current theme and find the “header.php” file. Now copy the file to you computer and open with a text editor. You can follow along the video if you wish.
You are going to look for the “</head>” statement in the code. Now look above it and will need to add this copy:
to your file. Now if you did as I did, then you will need to add “/the folder name/” to each of the lines above. I just copied the whole folder lightwindow to my root folder under my domain. So I needed to add “/lightwindow/” to each of the “scr” statements. Like this:
<script type="text/javascript"src="/lightwindow/javascript/prototype.js"></script>
Now save your header.php file and copy it back to your host.
In the next video will modify our post to use the new code!
As I as posting my first video, it came to me that I’m going to have lots of videos on one page from time to time. I don’t want people to be able to view more then one video at a time. After doing some research, I found there is code that will allow us to put images and video into a small pop-up window. This first video in 3 in series to show you have to add this code to your blog or web site.
Here is the link to the site where I got the code for the light box:

You can download the code there and see how to install and use it. Follow along the videos to see how I used it in my blog. You can see that I used the trick here for this video too.
