Hey Julius,
Many people think that having a lot of tools is just what they need to make it work on the web. But, like anything else in life if you don’t know how to use it, if you don’t have the experience (that you accumulate by trying and sometimes failing) to handle those tools you bought them for nothing.
As an example: I am pretty much sure that a plumber can achieve much more with a wrench and some plumber’s tape then some newbie with all the tools a plumber can have.

When I first started on the internet, I went in bare bones, no software, all the programming I was doing was in notepad, all the SEO was straight forward(tweaking html, content etc). And now even though I may use some tools I know how to do it effectively, because I know the underlying process involved in that piece of software.

Great article , Julius! Have a nice week!

• Why Google PageRank Could Be a Thing of the Past
  Oh, my bad it still counts but not as much as other factors and it certainly doesn’t count as much as it did just a few years ago.

  P.S. I am searching for the post on google, google blog and matt cutts blog where it was mentioned that PR now is more a small factor and it’s more to orient yourself on the number of links you have/someone has.

• Why Google PageRank Could Be a Thing of the Past
  Google pagerank is already (somewhat) a thing of the past in Google’s vision. They are starting to rely less and less on it, but the concept of a high PR = great is still present in the minds of the great webmaster population.

  I think that PR is something that some are still looking at is because of the myths it started several years ago, also Google itself said the the present PR is just something orientative and NOT that will influence your SERP.

  They are now relying more and more on something called authority rank (or trust rank) and this rank is governed by rules other then the number of links that websites have. (they take in consideration the brand, if the business is legit, if it can be found in the real world, influence over the people and many more factors), but they are still perfecting it and so it’s not yet ready to be deployed fully.

  At least this is my opinion

• Bloggers: If You’re Not Struggling, You’re Failing
  Well, maybe you can have success without struggling. Working smart and planning your day with your daily chores is something that can make the stress levels somewhat lower.
  What I think is that you should motivate yourself to learn more and get more done before the day ends and to struggle to do this things.

  You might not agree with this, but when I hear the word ‘struggle’ I think of trying to do something while not succeeding, and I think that doing something and succeeding is better.

• Personal Internet Marketing: From Zero to Hero in 4 Short Months
  Hey Ana,
  I do see a lot of people treating their email lists and visitors like cash machines that should deliver money when asked.

  Many don’t know how to appreciate other people or the people who might possible buy a product from them, see those pop-up thingy which greet you when you want to exit from a sales page - which afterwords will present you with a better offer, usually a discount, this seems like a disrespect for those people who bought the product the first time.

  Also knowing people more personally is always a good method to make them stick around!

• Outsourcing: THE Biggest Little Secret Nobody Talks About
  Wow, there are so many choices. Thank you Ana for writing about all this services, I only knew 1 or 2.
