The New Automated Niche Support
Yes folks – hell must have froze over and I am turning to technology in order to make my life simpler. Simpler means lazier – I hate updating the niche support page and frankly haven’t been doing it for a while. As a result the emails have piled up. The requests still come in daily though so I thought this might be the answer.
Simply click the link above and then follow the instructions.
I have tried to keep it simple but if things are confusing then my bad and please leave a comment here so I can fix it. Ditto if you encounter any bugs in the system.
We have had very few spammers in the past so I hope to keep things that way – if I catch a spammer they will be removed – no warnings – no discussions – no explanations.
This is free as always so make use of it but play nice.
I will not be removing the old niche support site but encourage all of you to transfer and update your listings to the new page.

OK what the heck is going on here. I am adjusting to the pretty site but posting two days in a row? I saw you mentioned in the comments of your Twitter game post that you were going to make the announcement for the return of the niche support system here, but wow the next day!
As always thanks for all the support you give to us noobs. With out it we may all be lost in the land of the probloggers
Thanks Griz!
Just trying to screw ya’ all up. Btw – I need to approve all sign ups and will be gone for about an hour if anyone tries now. Just sign up and I will approve when I get back.
Leaving for an hour is absolutely unacceptable. Does that mean you won’t be tweeting for an hour either? How will life go on?
LOl – I am back. Is life still going on?
I’ll say your screwing us up, I’m not getting anything done ’cause I keep seeing a new post from Griz in my reader.
I second Dave’s comment, thanks for the help you provide the community. You are like a brightly lit beacon of safety guiding us in our travels through the troubled waters of…
Sorry about that I was starting to wax philosophical again.
Looks like you’re making things simpler for us too. Give yourself some credit. I’ve made a lot of friends from the old niche’ page.
Just signed up. Thanks, Ben
Just added a Music Category for you Ben.
Grizzly
Thanks again for you continous support. I’ve been using your previous niche support pages with great results and I am very anxious to use your new system.
This reminds me of a group I participated last year about SOCIAL MEDIA support. In the group we helped each other with social media. As it turned out it was a waste of time but the interesting thing was that your favourite social blogger was also a member of the group. It seems that everybody has its bad moments
Are you suggesting Darren Rowse participated in something that was a huge waste of time?
Grizzly
How about adding a Weight loss and Disease & Disorders category?
Thanks
Done.
Update – I have started a few threads just to give you all an idea of how to use it.
Don’t forget to enable your email in your account setup so others can see it and then contact you privately.
You said:
“That will take a bit to answer which means it may be a while…”
Just wondering if I could get you to clarify that answer a bit?
“That will take a bit to answer which means it will be (forever, less than a year, within six months, this month, in a few days)”
I am really sorry for bugging you.
KC – My man Chewie has agreed to take on some of my backlogged email requests. Can I entice you to send your questions on to him at chewie@whatawookie.com
He knows this business inside out and will be happy to help you out. Sorry for the delay but it could be ages before I get to your emails.
Griz,
I got an email 5 min. after you wrote this comment. Chewie has already answered my question. You are Great and so is your network of friends. It’s hard being a noob, buy I’ll get through it
Thanks Griz! Thanks Chewie!
I’ll get to work now.
Seems like summer is definitely over there and you can’t play golf anymore because you have all this time on your hands
hahahahah I think you are right Phil. It is getting a little to cold for golf. Lucky for us we will get more help from Griz
At least until he gets his aircraft carrier then we may be on our own and he will just cruise to what ever golf course he wants to no matter the weather
That’s right smart asses… first I have to fleece you all and then adios amigos.
If you guys have any questions, you can also email me. I will be assisting with Niche support. Griz usually gets 400,000,000 emails per week, not per day. I know you guys thought it was more. Unfortunately he is too lazy to handle 400,000,000 so if you need to ask or recommend something and cant get through to the Bear you can email the Wookie. They are both equally hairy. OK maybe that was an unnecessary. Oh well!
Griz,
You are freaking badass, man.
Am not Shaun – I am a techno moron awash in a sea of code monkeys trying to tread water…
Man I didn’t quite get how this niche support page is gonna help. Its much like a forum that’s it…
Well if links is not your thing it may not be too helpful. Bottom line its being used as a bulletin board to get people in contact with each other for links. if you don’t think it will help then you don’t have to use it.
George – it will allow all of you to post your niches without waiting for me to add them to a list and you can specify any conditions. And you can exchange your emails to contact each other in private. Same as the old page except I don’t have to manually add listings. Just go in, add your niches and leave your email. People will contact you if interested. You can also look through the listings and contact others. Simple – no frills place for people to find others looking for the same kind of help. Not a forum – just has the same kind of script. What do you want for free? lol Btw – G can’t crawl it either.
Just signed up!
Awaiting approval (or not!)
just approved a bunch – sorry for the delay. The only hassle with this is that I have to keep checking for new sign ups. Now if only that was automated I could be truly lazy.
I’ll get to adding niches tomorrow after work (waaah), since some of us actually have to work for a living while Griz plays golf hehehe.
Besides working, writing and being the Go to Girl for Facebook and Twitter, who has time? Ha!
I’ve heard people do that – work – doesn’t sound like much fun…
Sweet. Hopefully this will cut down on the requests of people who have a one page blogspot blog and all I have are well established 250+ page sites that are PR3+ in their niche.
But in your newly found free time, please, just go play golf or maybe do whatever it is that bears do before winter comes…no more posts, no more distractions. I’ve got a lot of serious work to do.
Sorry Chelle – if I had one of those cool indoor Golf simulators I wouldn’t have time to bother all you folks with posts… Donations are accepted.
Should set up multiple accounts for our various aliases?
And I’m working on Askimet. They supposedly fixed another email address. But I haven’t been able to test it yet.
You can set up all the accounts you want – or just don’t let anybody see all your niches.
hi griz,
i’ve been lurking long enough. this looks like a good time to jump in.
i found your blog a couple of months ago and started at number 1 and been reading each one in order (even the countless comments =:-o
my first question (if you don’t mind) should i or should i NOT turn my websites into WP blogs? i started to do that with the simplest template i could find..ugly, ugly (and now you’ve gone beautiful).
thanks to your generous sharing, i finally have an idea what the hell i’m doing on the web.
cruising into the holiday season and believing that 2010 will be the best ever!
thanks again,
kc
KC – use every platform you can get your hands on. Variety is the spice of life and very helpful when acquiring backlinks. As for this pretty blog – the results speak for themselves – Adsense revenue is down by 3/4 since the change… The lesson – “Ugly” makes money – “Pretty” increases your RSS subscribers.
Maybe it’s only happening to me, but this site has taken a lot longer to load since the change. Thirty-forty seconds to load the post is not uncommon. Loading the comments often results in multiple timeouts before the whole list shows up.
She may be pretty, but uggo-blog loaded much faster.
Lis Sowerbutts has a shortlist of plain (ugly) wordpress templates here:

You can also check out the comments for some more themes.
I’ve posted my email on the old niche support page here at MMO Grizzly and everything went smoothly. Very good results!
Just signed up for the new automated system.
Thanks Grizz!

Are you looking for ways to expand your blog? You already added the forum to your blog, so what is next on the problogger list ot things to do.. You will need to add a book to your blog and start videoblogging.
I am a bit disappointed about the link exchange forum though, since you are not charging a ridiculously low price for the value – which will obviously increase after a few months.. Something like $1,97/mo.
The colors of this blog would look great on that aircraft carrier though.
LOL @ Phil… colors remind me of Juvi back in Texas
Phil – It is not a forum – it is a thingy that kinda looks like a forum but since I don’t have an expert like “Lara” moderating the thingy I can’t justify charging for it!
As for Video Blogging – I would have to consume a lot more beer than Allyn before you see my mug on a video and then I would be slurring so bad you wouldn’t understand me anyway…
And yes – These colours (international spelling – stupid spell checker) would look pretty sharp pulling into Pebble Beach on my Carrier.
I bought a niche support on ebay to help correct my slice but so far it hasn’t helped. You are such a scammer Griz!
AL
Only Hackers have “Slices” Al… real golfers are “Hookers”…
I’m wondering if you could add the following category: “Clothing, shoes and apparel” . I tried to post something but i couldn’t quite find an appropriate category for it, so if you think it’s worth it, maybe you can consider adding this.
Thanks
Hi Mike – I’ve added your request.
gee Grizz, I already made a spreadsheet of people to contact, lol – luckily i have one niche up
got to hand it to ya though -
this is a more active process of contacting people
now I’ll have to throw up some new sites just for this *groan* “hard work pays off” someday…
You are the man. Remember…technology (when used properly) does make things easier. I just usually have a hard time explaining to those around me how to use it properly
The old niche resource page worked like a charm…I think this is going to be great.
I think you should set up a “Donate to Grizz” Paypal button. I’d hook you up with some greenbacks (they are still worth something).
Party on Grizz ;0
Only problem is sorting out the sites that we are already linking with. I’m too disorganised and may end up double linking (if that’s a term).
Not whining or complaining. I know that I have to do my own work sometimes. Just bringing this to your attention.
I started tracking my site “relationships” a while back using an excel spreadsheet. That way I can keep track of people I am already working with.
Doesn’t take too long, and it works.
Hey Griz, I was trying to get the “exact keyword” bonus in the URL, and I couldn’t get one for blogger, but I could for wordpress (free hosted)… started SEOing for wordpress subdomain, but just found out it’s against their TOS to run ads, so I’ll have to turn it into a supporting blog. Anyway, I’m thinking about doing another subdomain elsewhere, but wanted your opinion on the best place other than blogger for adsense?
You could try Wordpress with GoDaddy.
Very cheap and easy even for me, a blogspot addict.
Good luck !
Hey Griz,
Not sure if this request goes to you or Chewie, but categories for Family, marriage, parenting, divorce etc related topics is needed badly. Also categories for cooking, recipes, Legal/Law too. I shot Chewie an email but not sure if it was received or in spam folder. A category for Holiday related topics would be awesome too.
Anybody else notice a hit for AdSense earnings…or isit just me?
I’m just here to look at your awesome new theme for awhile.
Hey Griz,
I am noticing that the ads being shown are all over the place.
With regard to smart pricing, has the monster energy drink post and the twitter, compiled with the niche support post thrown things off?
Are you even worried about it?
BTW-as show on your privacy page as well.
Griz,
I was noticing this as well. Especially on your front page I was seeing ads for DNA and Genealogy?? WTF…. Your single page ads look right though. I wonder if your front page adsense ads are screwy because you are showing two posts on the front now. I was also curious if you had any insight as to why that happens.
Dave
hi, i just want to know :
what this means and how i can use it to decide on a niche.
i used Google keyword tool using movies as keyword.
i have got that on September
101 million searches have been done for the keyword “movie” and global monthly search volume for that word is 151 million.
can i make a blog that rank 1st and take these millions every month??? how???
Yes alaa, it will be easy for you to make a blog that ranks first for the terms “movie”. I suggest you get to work on it right away and don’t give up until you reach the #1 position.
In the meantime, if you have any problems, please refer to JohnChow (dot)com as he is the best online money making guru who will be glad to help you.
hi griz,
your girl kelley pickler is hot again.
just saw her halloweened out as dolly parton.
i had never seen her before, but pickler is very talented and nailed parton perfectly.
hilarious!
Unfortunately this isn’t working out for me yet. I emailed about 6 people and in one week, only 1 has returned my email. Seems like the niche support site is kind of dead too.
…Yes folks – hell must have froze over and I am turning to technology in order to make my life simpler. Simpler means lazier …
I thought this was what internet marketing was all about and what you had been doing all along.
Nice to read this blog post Niche link exchange and it is very useful to the beginners. Thanks for the information.
GRIZ GRIZ GRIZ! I’d be great if you could do a few Posts on ur MMFB website, to gain some serious interest and get people signed up. This idea CAN work! Its all in ur power, Ime here to help, let me know if you’d like any assistance…
LETS DO THIS EVERYBODY
Peace and love
The link exchange is a great idea
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Someone told me that they spend about 40% of the time developing the site (content, research, design, etc) and about 60% promoting it. Do you think that’s about right?
Dave
I have one blog that’s all about travel. It’s not even a year old so I still have a lot to learn, particularly regarding monetizing the site. I’m confused about link exchanges. Does that mean when I write a post about travel, I link to whoever I’ve enchanged with by setting up anchor test that would link back to their site? If that’s the case, that would mean I would need to find travel related websites/blogs to exchange with. True?
Also, not sure what 3-way link exchanges are since I only have one blog so it seems like it would be reciprocal.
Can you clarify, please? I want to make sure I’m on the right track before I sign on to this.
thanks.
You are a great helper to us newbies in blogging. Love to join with the Automated Niche Link Exchange. I love this new site with the new theme. Still love your old blogger blog too!
I just want to know about the niche more here and I need to know how to choose our niche to make money through online.
