Filter on: if all you do in your online business is writing unique, high quality content, this tip will be useless to you. However, if you rely on third-parties' content to quickly build large websites, then please read on. I have something for you :-). Filter off.

I will show you how to create unique content in a matter of seconds, without paying a dime. If you are anxious to discover the method, scroll down a bit, to the details section.

The greatest problem with reusing other people's content is the threat of being penalized with duplicate content filters which prohibit your website from ranking well. The simplest solution - at the concept level - is rewriting the content. But rewriting content manually is almost equally time consuming as writing from scratch.

Getting backlinks to your website is currently the holy grail of any SEO process. To outrank your competitors, you need more and stronger backlinks than they have. If you want to approach this process analytically, then you need a good backlink analyzer software. This is exactly where SEO SpyGlass belongs.

UPDATE: I'm back from Crete, after what turned to be one of the best holidays in my life :-). Fresh, full of energy and enthusiasm, I'm already working on several interesting articles that will be posted soon.

I am going on my 2-week (long overdue) holidays in Crete in a couple of hours. That means that all articles that I am working on (including reviews of several very cool tools) will have to wait at least 2 weeks.

But... that may be a great opportunity for you! If you have an idea for an article that would fit this blog nicely, please contact me via the contact form. Include a brief summary of your idea. I should be able to check my email at least every 2 days.

In exchange for your article, you will gain:

• Nice exposure
• A solid back-link
• An opportunity to promote your blog

I really encourage you to take this opportunity.

Have you ever dreamt of the freedom provided by your own online business? If yes, have you ever felt the disappointment of discovering that running an online business may sometimes be worse that the regular 8-5 day job? If you develop content sites in many niche markets, that's more than likely.

If you own a network of white-hat websites in different niches, you invariably face the dilemma of generating content. There are many options, the most popular ones being as follows:

Even while off-site factors may be far more significant today in achieving high rankings, on-site factors are not to be neglected.

Making sure that the code of your blog / site is SEO-friendly is still a very important step. As you maybe using a ready-made template for Wordpress or other CMS, here's a quick tip to make sure that it is not doing harm to your positions in the search results.

When looking through my logs today, I found this great article listing 30 different keyword tools, both free and paid, with short descriptions. This is an excellent resource to discover new tools that you may have never heard about before.

I've some tools that I will try to review a little more in-depth in the coming days.

By the way, my little keyword bookmarklet is mentioned - thanks!

Fantastic sources of keywords are available virtually to everyone - you only need to know where to find them.

When I am looking for new ideas for articles or when I'm trying to optimize some of my content for specific keywords, I very often rely on my own keyword bookmarklet that many of my readers seem to like as well.

The trick is really to find a good starting point for this bookmarklet. Today, I am going to share with you 5 of my best and proven methods (sources) for working with this tool.

Screencasting, video tutorials and multimedia content is surely what can set your blog apart from your competition. The problem that many bloggers face is that the available tools are either: a) excellent, but very expensive or b) decent and free, but lacking in several areas (especially editing).

Well, I've just discovered (via the always useful Digital Inspiration blog) a new piece of software, called AllCapture V2.0.

Perhaps instead of selling a website, you thought of buying an already established online property with proven track record in terms of traffic and revenue. Obviously, as a buyer you would probably use either Digital Point or SitePoint.

The important question here is how to maximize your chances of investing in a good property which would indeed ensure you some return.

In the perfect world you could simply ask for live access to traffic and monetization statistics. But that's rarely a case. Sellers usually provide just some proof in the form of screenshots from analytics software or AdSense interface, etc. That's all nice, but you still should make every effort to perform proper due diligence before spending any money on your next website.

I've recently come across a truly ingenious post on how to build an affiliate site that you can sell for $1M. I will not try to recap its content - there are too many valuable points and it's really worth reading in its entirety.

However, during reading it has struck me that I am really most focused on properly developing a website into a profitable business when I consider selling it eventually as my exit strategy.

It provides me with the energy and determination to make sure that all bases key for valuation are covered. And guess what, when they are covered, the profits usually grow fast, even if I don't sell it after all.

However, if you have a website that you think could have some tangible value for other people, what are your options when it comes to selling it?
