You’ve come up with an awesome idea, developed a great product, put together an amazing business/marketing plan, and built the most beautiful eCommerce store this side of the Mississippi. Unfortunately your sales figures are far from what you envisioned, in fact not even close, and your conversion…

How important is content creation? Well there’s an old saying that “Content is King.” Actually it’s not King or even Queen. Nor is it a Royal Flush. Content is the entire deck of cards. Yep! All fifty-two of them. Leave just one out and you’re not playing with a full deck. Creating content is just about the most important item on your check list of things to do when it comes to developing your website.
So your robots.txt file looks valid, but Google Webmaster Tools says your site can’t be indexed, because it’s blocked by your robots.txt file. You’ve tried everything you can think of, but your site is still blocked from the indexing giant. Don’t panic. It’s only a matter of time!
Oops! What Not To Do.
The other day I was building a new site and figured I’d try something in WordPress that I’ve not tried before. You can’t really learn new things, if you don’t try new things.
Under the “Reading Settings” in WordPress there is an option called “Search Engine Visibility.” When you check this option WordPress will generate a simple robots.txt file for your site which includes code that will discourage robots from indexing your site. NOTE: the robots.txt file only suggests what files or directories are not to be indexed by search engine robots (also called crawlers or bots). It’s up to the actual bot to respect the request of the robots.txt file. All the major search engine crawlers will respect your robots.txt file, but beware that spammers and troublemakers most likely won’t. DO NOT use your robots.txt file to SECURE anything, ’cause it can’t.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the saying that if you want to be successful, then do what successful people do. Same things goes for losing weight… if you want to be thin, then do what thin people do. If you want to be as fit as a world-class athlete, then you have to do what a world-class athlete does… and if you want to be a millionaire, then you have to do what a millionaire does.
This all starts with having the right mindset.
If you don’t have the right mindset, then you’ll start down a path towards success (or becoming a millionaire), and then your stinkin’ thinkin’ comes into play and somehow you self-sabotage yourself. You’ve seen the people on their 10th diet plan. They get started and lose a few pounds and then after a few weeks, they’ve gained it all back. Why can all those people on the “Biggest Loser” lose so much weight and you can’t?!?! The answer is that you can. They surrounded themselves with helpful people, mentors, and friends who pushed them and kept them on track. Then they did what thin people do – worked out like a maniac and ate properly.
