Check out this site build with BuddyPress. I was reading this recently and had no idea it was using WordPress. It doesn’t look like a blog. That is the idea.

Tim Ferris gives an excellent talk at WordCamp SF.
Takeaways for me:
1. I like the concept of using crazyeggs.com to track user action vs referral sources.
2. Change label ‘categories’ to ‘topics’ increase views alot.
3. He only posts once 0r twice a week.
4. He would rather keep on site then send viwers off to Twitter
5. He test everything.
6. He likes using StumbleUpon and says the traffic is high quality(I had no idea).
7. He uses Twitter for polling and Evernote to gather notes for research.
8. Edit your posts by hand and do SEO last.
9. If you are not having fun posting your audience won’t either.
I am trying out a new plugin on this post. Apture
It is easy to use and you have total control of which content type and data you link to. Nice.

Determining which tactics are going to be most effective for your particular situation is critical for search marketers. PPC, SEO, Social, Viral? Sure they all have their advantages, but depending on the marketplace you’re in, some strategies may be much more viable – in both cost and effectiveness – than others.
I like the insight that even easy SEO work ,like on page optimization, can be effective in less competitive markets but those same markets will be competitive and pricey when approached from the PPC side.
Guess it all is a matter of keyword research.

It covers:
I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.
