When it comes to choosing a shared hosting solution, I've always recommended people to use Hostgator. For the last 3 years I've been using the shared service with no problems whatsoever, and I also use the dedicated hosting which is really good.

As a result of having no problems with the Hostgator Shared Hosting, I grew to trust it perhaps a little more than I should have. That's not to say that it is a bad service, but I decided to host an important video there over the weekend, and when I...

For a long time, SEO experts have believed that links from government (.gov) or educational (.edu) sites are worth their weight in gold.

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks ago I flew out to Las Vegas to attend Affiliate Summit.

I personally got a lot out of the event because I managed to meet more than 20 people who are making 7 to 8 figures a year online.

What I wanted to do in this particular blog post was simply to mention the top 3 takeaways that I got out of the event...
