Having reviewed the FREE videos and documentation provided by the good folks at StomperNet, I have come to the conclusion that I am standing on the cusp of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They say that we are in the midst of a new Web 2.0 revolution and that the window of opportunity will close in 12-18 months. Over the next few weeks and months I am going to put in to practice what StomperNet preaches and see where it leads me.Where Should I start?I need an action plan. I see this as a multi-frontal assault on the Internet. There are so many things I need to do. I have to do some housecleaning on the site, set some new personal guidelines to help me stay focused on this blog, keep developing killer content, launch an online presence with the different Social Media, and keep up with it all.

It is a daunting task but if I do this right I can position myself for ongoing residual income for years to come.

Start with some housekeeping

Word Counts and Duplicate Content

One of videos from StomperNet says that duplicate content will be the slow death of my site. It tells me that I have to make sure that my blog posts are unique and have a word count that is, at the very least, the same as my static word count.

By static word count, I mean the actual text that can be hi-lighted with my mouse and exists on every page of my site. That is considered duplicate content.

I need approximately 527 words per post to avoid being tanked by the search engines. It may seem like a lot, but in the time that I have been writing this blog post I have reached 298 words. IS THAT ALL?

Remove Some Fluff

Hmm well I know I can’t maintain that level for all blog entries, so do I need to trim some fat off of my static pages? You know…remove some fluff? Well I can’t find any. I have my site up the way I like it, and removing some of the text will hurt navigation and negatively affect my monetization methods.

Barring removing text, StomperNet told me to substitute imagery with the duplicate text. That is easier said than done because almost all of the text is generated by WordPress widgets, WordPress scripts or affiliate scripts. That makes this a non-option.

So I am going to have to commit myself to writing longer posts, while at the same time not putting people to sleep. Nodding off yet? WAKE UP!

Getting back to the video, it did have a short blurb that coming in under the static word count may work and that the ‘jury’ was still out on how the bots processed a site. but they strongly suggest that I keep my word count equal to or better than 527?

Did Video Kill a the Blogging Site?

StomperNet had mentioned that producing my own video blogging content will be an excellent tool. I have to agree as I was very impressed with their stuff. I plan on implementing that strategy BUT I wondered what will happen with a bunch of video segments in my blogs. Writing a 500+ blog entry to avoid duplicating a content will defeat the video. What the hell would I write about? The contents of the video? Seems like a waste of time.

BUT then again YouTube gets more traffic than Google, so will Google ranking become less relevant? I am so confused now that my head is going to explode.

Remove Duplicate Page Titles

The video said that it is a no-no to have duplicate titles. I think I got them all. This was easy to do. I used the ‘All In One SEO Pack WordPress Plugin‘ and edited a couple of titles that were close to being the same.

So the journey begins

With the site as fine-tuned as I can make it I am ready to go forward with entering into the Social Networking realm.

PS. I am at 718 words counting the title, content, and this PS…I made my quota!
