Hi Sean, thank you for the webinar. It sounds so interesting but I cannot attend. Could you make the record version available please?
Could you share with us what plugin or application you use to manage/calculate our comments?
How often do you update the top20 list? Once a day?
There will ‘likely’ be a recording available, Radek
The comments tally is on the HomePage in the sidebar (as shown in a previous video)
It updates live in real time
Perfect, looking forward to seeing that webinar (recorded).
Thanks Sean, look forward to the webinar on Thursday. It was interesting to hear you speak about the site map, does every web site have one of those or is it only ones where there is constant updates going on?
Boy some people must have plenty of free time to get to those numbers of responses…..lol!
Cheers
Most sites have a sitemap – or at least the ones that are serious about getting listed on Google
Sean
Is there a plugin that generates a site map like you have (the visible one) or is it a option of the xml plugin?
Sorry just noticed that my usual picture is not showing up, is there any reason why this would happen? I now have a sideways G as my photo!
BTW forgot to mention that I have added winning your competition to my vision board, in fact also added a couple more zeros to the prize pool.
Cheers have a great day!
If you have a picture/avatar in Gravatar.com that is associated with the email you use in your comments, then it should show up.
I have raised it to “R” rating being suitable for age 17 and up.
Well done with your visionboard
Hi Sean
I’ll be at the webinar with bells on. Nice video
Love the twitter widget.
Marney, most blogs will have an area to find the articles. Usually it is only clever ones like our Sean that have a sitemap. Are you using the same email address for your avatar?
Looking forward to learning some more tips

Hi Radek,
I just don’t sleep!
I think there is several and are speed readers and speed typists
Any body got some tips on how to slow her down? I don’t know if I can keep this up until the end of June
Ah, so that’s my weakness! I like my sleep…
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Hate to tell you, but… They think you’re a Spammer =-.
Yes Lina me too but Jazz won’t let me
I like it too. Can’t wait to get reacquainted.
Hi Sean,
Thank-you for the handy hints on how to access more blog posts to comment on. I’ll be needing them.
Also, I’ve really enjoyed the Mindset Mastery series. The information is invaluable. I enjoy reading all your posts but there have been a few that have really spoken to me.
I’m pleased to have unlocked all this information to you guys. I think you know already how much it is going to help with your online success!
Yes we do Sean but you’ve unlocked an unbelievable competitor in Jazz.
As my competitor you deserve the respect of me giving you my very best effort.
That’s the way Jazz, you are a great competitor!

Hi Gee

Rita
Hi Gee
I think you are doing well yourself just plod along reading and commenting and you are a winner anyway
Rita
That is right Rita, just so long as you creating an awareness out there then you are doing the correct thing, (I guess)
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
Not sure what is the easier challenge – as Sean has a valid reason to reply to each and every comment given by us so he has more options to post
But we will give him a run for his money 
.-= Renee´s last blog ..Motivational Music =-.
Sean is on fire
I do feel a little for him though – how many comment replies a day is it now Sean?
.-= Cemil´s last blog ..Add Custom Footer to Thesis Theme =-.
actually he would get any medal right now
Noone needs to feel anything for anyone… eyes on the prize – eye on the prize!!
Or is it the prize eyes me from the tree outside my bedroom while I dance to Kylie Minogue songs?
Or 2 in the bush is worth a bushell at the market?
Quoting verbatim is not with me tonight… dang, but I love to write!!!!
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
A lot!
We will most certainly give Sean a run for his money. We have only just begun to comment!
It actually occured to me the other day, that was a bit cumbersome finding some of your older posts on the blog, but I’ll be using the sitemap from now on. Thanks for the video and the tips.
I’ll see you at the webinar.

I can handle the Rhetoric. Jazz is the problem
It’s so early in the competition and I’ve only just begun to be a problem.
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I have registered for the webinar and am looking forward to it. See you there!

I do like the idea of sitemaps on blogs, makes following posts easier. I cannot wait for Thursday Webinar, already registered, bring it on.
.-= Sandra Sentance´s last blog ..Time Management =-.
I saw your name on the list, Nanny. It wouldn’t be the same without you
Yaar! Those hidden posts won’t stay hidden for so long (thinking of a couple of beer ads in particular). Been following the XML treasuremap from the beginning.

Same here Tom – can’t beat that XML

Hi Sean
I can work my way around your blog okay, but only because I’ve been using WordPress everyday for a few months now. I did think that it wouldn’t have been common knowledge for a newbie to click on your name for the homepage and some other handy tricks for navigation. Good thinking with making the helpful video.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Richard Branson Business School: A day visit =-.
Thanks Sean, I look forward to the webinar this Thursday. I love listening to the information you share – it is earthy and understandable. And better than that, it is useable!!
Thanks. See you soon.
A great easy to understand video – i never realised about the site map, and how to check out who is in the front
That’s so cool. I have registered for the webinar and can’t wait to see what is in store – the competition is heating up. May the best women/man win (its going to be a women, we always love to comment!!) Thanks Sean for this opportunity.
Cheers
Lisa Wood
Thats Fine Lisa you can win I’m just having fun getting to know you all and the comments that are being made.
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
Can’t wait for Thursdays Webinar, it will be our first live one for a long time (work commitments).
Thanks for keeping us busy lately, Big Fella. You’ve highlighted that we need to lift our game to another level. Forget the 1000 Kanga, we both benefit from the comments, so that in itself, is enough reason to write more comments.
OMG what have you started……
.-= Cade Arnel´s last blog ..4 Tips to Improve your Trade Picks =-.
Same here Cade it looks exciting. I’m getting goose bumps thinking about it.
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
Too true Cade. I’ve been following Sean for some time, but to be honest I have never seen such an explosion of commenting on this site before.
.-= Cemil´s last blog ..5 Important Tips For On-Page SEO =-.
I’ll say Cade. Jazz is like a woman possesed
Gee, you are someone talking
Who did 150 comments in the first day just now? Looks like you and Jazz don’t have anything else to do 
And if this competition is really to continue until June I guess we need a few more blogs included in the competition 
.-= Renee´s last blog ..Motivational Music =-.
150 in one day??? Now that’s comments on steroids!
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Blog comments on steroids =-.
I have to admit – sometimes following the “next post” link goes nowhere.
BTW – should I let you know next time I come across a link that points to a deleted post? Sorry, didn’t think about it at the time as I was busy finding the next post to comment on
.-= Renee´s last blog ..Motivational Music =-.
It only seems to be a problem in this blog. The other one is fine
Yes, I’ve noticed that too Renee. Sometimes the link takes me back to the homepage.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Hate to tell you, but… They think you’re a Spammer =-.
Concentrate on the other blog Lina. As good as this is the information is priceless!
It is very good to be able to view and check your standing this is mind blowing.
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
I don’t know about that . It’s a bit depressing looking at the top and seeing she isn’t going to stop
oh goodie ! A real live treasure hunt – so much better than Easter Eggs, and I love chocolate. Best of luck, one and all. What an amazing way to learn!
Seriously, Sean. This is a great opportunity and we are already gaining so much. Thank you.
.-= Jo Carey-Bradshaw´s last blog ..Empowering Mindset – Mindfulness =-.
Ha – and this year we will have a treasure hunt AND and easter egg hunt. Wondering if Sean will throw in some Easter Eggs? (as long as he doesn’t throw them AT us
)
Who needs a couple of easter eggs when $1000 can buy me a truck load of red tulip easter eggs!!!!!!
Always something to gain when Sean’s involved!!
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
Chocolate lover, Jo? Buy Fair Trade chocolate! Cadbury’s Dairy Milk is going Fair Trade this Easter. Ensures that farmers get paid fairly and minimise the chances of kids working in forced labour in cocoa farms.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..What life is about =-.
$1,000 Not Pounds Pity it’s not UK Pounds, LOL
better $1000 than nothing. Besides we all have lots of fun, don’t we…
I don’t think it would matter what it is. We are just seeing Jazz the competitor. I reckon she doesn’t like to lose
I can see some more in hot pursuit
.-= Renee´s last blog ..Motivational Music =-.
we need our teachers. Come on jobs lost
Sean is one really passionate and real good teacher.

I never really understood the power of comments until I started commenting more often and saw what effect it had on my blog’s ranking.
Looking forward to the webinar on Thursday.
.-= Colin´s last blog ..People Who Discourage Us =-.
Hi Colin,
I didn’t get the importance of comments and I certainly didn’t understand how to get people to comment on my blog either. This competition of Sean’s is definitely teaching me a lot of knew things.
L.ike how to be #1. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s better just to participate
Glad to see you’re learning the power of blog comments Colin and getting something out of this exercise.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Blog comments on steroids =-.
I didn’t see the power of comments before until now either… so it has been quite interesting.
The power of committing to the challenge once you have started is something not to be ignored. Thanks Sean for making it one hella-ava level playing field!!!!
Gosh darn it dang-nam-it… I was only helping someone with a sitemap about a month ago and no light bulbs went off for me until I saw this post!!!
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
Better late than never Sam
And now Gee, now that I am suited up with eye patch, wooden leg, hook for a hand, parrot who repeats everything I say – I am all good to go! Well, I have been good to go for a while now!!
AND I have even been taking Pirate lessons…. “R, r, me mateys! I eye treasure in them thar treasure map.”
Am I crazy-o or what??
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
No, not crazy, just enjoying your passion
I go a long with Samantha, I mean long John silver, what we be a waitin for the treasures is ours
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
It is becoming apparent who is going for “it”. The faces are becoming very familiar as is the mood behind many of the comments. Do you all know each other offline? You seem like a fun bunch:)
.-= Terry Tiessen´s last blog ..Ad Unit Magic =-.
Hi Terry
Many of us are connected through a fantastic online community – called the YOTA (Year of the Affiliate) forum. It’s a compliment to us that you noticed the rapport and relationship between us, because we actually haven’t done much (if any) offline stuff together. We all met online and have a top supportive online network.
Not all of us are from YOTA, which means that many others are getting in on the action and buzz being created by the community.
Glad you noticed
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Blog comments on steroids =-.
I missed the webinar so forgive me if I am repeating what you said in there but a great way to explore a site is to enter site:www.sitename.com into the search engine – it will bring up all the pages that have been crawled and indexed recently.
