Unfortunately for the past few weeks I have been missing action due to returning from a much needed vacation and then moving into a new home. While it may sound like I had a splendid time, having a U-Haul dolly land on my back during my move put me on bed rest for quite some time.
So how exactly is this good news for you?
During the countless hours spent staring at blank walls, my mind wandered back to work of course — and in trying to see the positive in everything, I began thinking about how I could turn my injury into something constructive. Fortunately, for my blog readers, it just so happens that I have taken the time to bundle it up for you nice and neatly in an Excel spreadsheet since I have not been able to provide anything of substance on this here blog in quite some time.
High Paying Keywords Revealed
If you are having trouble locating profitable niches and keywords, you’re in luck. Believe it or not, the “moving” and “packing supplies” niche is a very profitable one. So profitable, that advertisers are willing to pay anywhere from $3 to as much as $10 per click just for traffic. Now of course Google won’t let you just walk away with all that money in its entirety given the fact that the typical Adsense publisher receives in the ballpark of 1/4 (or 25%) of the estimated cost-per-click (CPC), but even at $1.25 to $2.50+ per click, you can still make a nice chunk of change from this batch of keywords.

For many site flippers, using Wordpress as a content management system is a great way to quickly and efficiently design a website. However, not everyone is knowledgeable when it comes to playing around with CSS in order to edit a Wordpress theme to their liking. Fortunately, editing a Wordpress theme’s CSS files doesn’t have to be a difficult feat to accomplish thanks to Mozilla Firefox’s Firebug plugin.
Since I started using the plugin, I have found it to be a lifesaver when trying to customize Wordpress themes. While I am knowledgeable with CSS, I really hate having to test my changes using various software — or constantly refreshing web pages to view the final outcome. With Firefox’s Firebug plugin, I can not only edit css and other html files/settings, but I can do it all on the same screen, live, and track the changes along the way. This comes in handy when I’m trying to see what color scheme works best, or, when I’d like to change more advanced features of a theme such as margins or padding without wrecking havoc on the original CSS file.
How to Use Firebug
Your Firefox browser does not come standard with this plugin so it will have to be downloaded separately. You can download the plugin by visiting here. Once you have successfully download and installed this plugin, locate the Firebug icon in the lower right pane of your screen. As the name suggests, it will look like a tiny bug on your browser’s screen.

When flipping websites, there are just “those” plugins that I absolutely cannot run Wordpress without. My obsession has become so out of control that I fear that one day they may suddenly disappear into thin air, so I keep up-to-date backup copies of these plugins on my computer so that I can easily upload them via FTP in the case of their sudden extinction.
Each one of these plugins serves a vital role in how I’m able to efficiently design a niche website, as well as help make the new owner’s role much easier.
In no particular order, those plugins include:
pageMash
If you’ve ever created pages (not posts) for your website but never understood how to rearrange their order in the navigation bar without configuring each individual page, this is a plugin you need. PageMash is designed to help you rearrange the order of your pages in just a few clicks. Simply drag and drop the pages in the order you want them to appear and then click on “Update.” Instantly, your pages have now been rearranged and you didn’t have to do it manually.
Another feature I enjoy is that you can also set pages as “child” pages, as well as hide pages that you’ve created, but don’t want to appear in your navigation area.
Download the pageMash plugin.
Category Order
Category Order works similar to pageMash, the only difference being that Category Order only allows you to rearrange categories in the order you wish for them to appear. You cannot set parent and child categories, and you cannot hide specific categories with this plugin.
