I know that many people who read this will think that this is impossible, but I was telling Dan (fellow Stomper/30 Day Challenge/Immediate Edge/fellow ex-pat Brit in Barcelona) recently that I got a page to rank in Google in 15 minutes using the techniques used in the 30 Day Challenge and Immediate Edge.

Back from London and I’ve had a bit of a chance to recover by diving into the 30 Day Challenge like mad. I’m now going through day 27, so made some progress over the last few days. In fact there aren’t too many action points, most of it is listening/watching the podcasts/videos and so it [...]

Back from my hols on Monday night and packed again and off to the UK tomorrow until Sunday. Damn, I’ll miss the Italian Grandpix!
I got to day 3 of the 30 day challenge in August as I couldn’t get all the info, but have been at it for the last 3 days and have completed [...]
