Mark P Knowles

I wander the Internet, surf the web or whatever you want to call it on a regular basis. I like to engage with people I meet, add comments to blogs etc, but I have a pet peeve. Some SEM guru somewhere decided that collecting email addresses and forcing people to “become a member of the [...]

Well – it has been a while since I updated my personal blog much – mainly because I don’t make much money with this and it is mostly a bit of fun. Blogging can actually be fun – one of my favorite posts “Mark Knowles is a douche bag,” allows me to poke fun, not [...]

Well – Ouch! and Ouch! again. Big Daddy G made it good and clear they don’t like “content farms” when they rolled out the second stage of their new search algorithm into the rest of the English speaking world.  Everyone has their own idea of the whys, wherefors and wotsits, but all I see is [...]

I am getting sick of the amount of emails I get telling me what a wonderful opportunity to make money social media is. I must get 200 friendship requests a month on my facebook account – most of them from people I have never met and do not know. In fact – going to my [...]

Are you looking to start a new blog, but are struggling to find a niche that is not completely saturated? Good – because I am looking for a few bloggers interested in blogging in the foreclosure niche. I have a new blogging model underway and need a few good men (or women or transgender or [...]

Having decided to do the hubpages 60 day challenge, I also decided to explore a few niches I had not explored before. The niches I decided to explore were – buying a guitar; buying used musical instruments online, making money online and manufactured homes. Apart from the MMO niche – which I have never managed [...]

I am sticking with guitars for this batch – this will bring the total of hubs in that group up to 10.  I am not sure exactly what the optimum number is, but I suspect it is 15, because that is the number hubpages like to see for their “capstone hub” program. So – I [...]

I seem to be on a guitar kick over at hubpages right now. Who knows? Maybe I will sell a few on Ebay.  In the meantime, this is David Gilmore playing “echoes” acoustic at Abbey Road. Awesome! And these are my latest 60 day challenge hubs. Walden guitars Duesenberg guitars Tanglewood guitars Childrens guitars Gretsch [...]
