This is naturally, a response to the Google advertising on this site. I appreciate the ads, and encourage you to take advantage of any offers that seem promising to you. But, at the same time, they are educational. Google knows people looking into magic, are looking for sex and money. This site fairly covers the ‘money’, but what of sex and romance?

Sigil magic is versitile enough for any desire. Here’s the updated article on sigil magic you should be reading instead of the blog post.

Love magic does relate to money magic, our hormones engender such tremendous will such that focus on another goal can be compromised. So that’s how I’m justifying this post.

Now, classic love magic is manipulative magic. Based on sympathetic magic, you may work with a ‘psychic link’ such as the hair or soiled undergarments of the person you desire. A simple and effective Hoodoo formula involves personal concerns, such as menstrual blood, urine or semen – add this in a minute quantity to the food or drink you offer your desired person and it can attach them emotionally to you.

To my thinking such magic is manipulative and is likely to cause suffering. Yes, it is effective. But such magic is trusting your choice to be the right one, and few people are rational or know themselves so well as to choose well.

The key to magic is to figure out what you really want. The person you desire lives inside a fantasy of who that person can be for you. There’s a gulf between your imagination and any other specific person. But your fantasy does represent desire.

So get real for a moment. The person you desire, if they are not yours it’s likely you don’t represent the person they desire. If you work with this reality and allow your attachment to dissipate , then you can get what you want. Why? Because of the principle of chaos – whoever you are, there are people that desire you!

Direct magic to find you the person you desire that also desires you! This is a principle of using magic to work a likely path to fulfilment. If you open the field of romantic candidates to all possibility, magic will work to find you a lover that will give you what you want! And even if you’re in the midst of a flirtatious relationship, such magic will confirm the promise of the relationship – or deliver a new person to you if it’s not in reality a path to happiness for you!

Conclusion:

The ‘manipulative’ magic of Hoodoo does have its place. If you are married and want to keep your husband or wife, classic love magic is not inappropriate. Such magic serves a vow already agreed to, if nothing else.

In practical terms what makes a person unattractive is attachment to result. If you are a man or a women dating someone that is clearly projecting the desire for marriage or even simply sex – it instantly brings forth your resistance and defence mechanisms. It’s popular common knowledge that married people get his on more frequently than single people – the simple explanation is this: married people are not looking!

So a magic that can exorcise the desire can be useful, so it doesn’t consume you and sabotage your possibilities. The principles of law of attraction, applied to focusing your thought and conscious belief in positive magical outcomes generally – can be helpful here.

Blind sigil magic is extremely effective, but it may not effect your attachment. So in the case of sex magic you may want to compromise the blindness of the practice.

If you want a traditional Hoodoo love spell, here’s an online resource for the real thing. Any candle you’re working with can be inscribed with your love sigil for extra power.

If you’re plugged into the Chaos magic paradigm and are very comfortable doing your magic freestyle (after doing Hoodoo for a while you may become comfortable with improvisation as well) here are some guidelines. Use as many or as few ideas as you please.

• The numerological ideal number is ’2′, the number of sex, relationships. You may choose to perform the magic on a date that reduces to ’2′. Numerological info here. If waxing moon, you can use it to gain love, if waning you can ‘lose loneliness’. Ignoring the moon has not hurt many magics – so is up to you if you want to pay attention to it or not.
• Sigils may be burned in a candle, etched on a candle to burn through, placed beneath a candle to be consumed once the entire candle is consumed..etc.
• visualize the romantic and sexual connection. Act it out with figurines, lodestones (magnetite – ‘male’ has points, ‘female’ is rounded – bring two appropriate lodestones together, their attraction can be sympathetic magic for your spell – they can be ‘fed’ with ‘magnetic sand’ (Iron filings).
• Red candles for passion, white for love and commitment, use either or both.
• you can ‘dress’ the candles with oil, wipe oil on candle from the center of the candle to both ends. http://lucky mojo.com, they sell authentic Hoodoo oil formulations. You can use scented oil (Cinnamon, Rose, Violet, Vanilla, Lavender, Patchouli, Sage – all have Hoodoo love associations) – but if essential oils, use rubber gloves to apply to candle as they can be skin irritants sometimes.
• Sexual orgasm is always a good way to launch a sigil or magic spell, this is doubly so for a spell relating to love and/or sex.
• incense, either a Hoodoo love incense or choose one with one of the following scents (all are associated with Love/Sex/Romance in the Hoodoo tradition) : Cinnamon, Rose, Violet, Vanilla, Lavender, Patchouli, Sage.
• Personal concerns, blood, semen, vaginal juices – candles offer opportunities for acting out sexual sympathetic magic for some people.

YES, having another person cast a love spell on your behalf is often extremely effective. I do recommend you don’t use this option to target a specific person unless you’re married to them.

Introducing a new e-commerce category to this blog. I’ve already done one business tips post. And this blog is for chaos magic applied to e-commerce (or other commerce).

I’ve worked for 2 years as the web-master and Search Engine Optimizer for an online t-shirt business (I also designed t-shirts and printed many, jack of all trades I am), in that time I learned a lot. With this website I’ve learned a lot as well. Though it’s true, I have no Google pagerank yet, it’s coming soon (kitschchaos.com is mere months old, averaging 70 hits a day for the month of March, up several hundred percent from the previous month).

(update for May 9,09 -this site has had Google page rank 1 since beginning of April [index page] and an average of 134 unique visitors/day -Blog SEO works!)

Now here’s the thing with kitschchaos.com, the target market is being created – which is not the easy way to go. If I wanted easy, I’d work the fortune telling angle – it’s highly profitable in the current depressed economic climate (when all is lost – there still is hope). But I’m going after something I can feel good about, telling people how to roll their own divination, cast their own spells.

Now one cardinal rule is to target a hungry crowd. I believe there is a hungry crowd. The employee paradigm has failed – companies are shedding payroll and downsizing. But the opportunity to run your own business, only you can stop you! And an internet business, the playing field is level, it’s affordable for a broad range of people! The only thing that’s missing is an edge.

And there’s no shortage of people eager to sell you that edge. What this site is about thou8gh is a geniune edge no one else has considered. Chaos magic works!

So I believe in this site, I know it can and will blow up!

So let’s talk about SEO.

Search Engine Optimization. There’s the basic stuff, html links so spiders can crawl your site, and lots of ways to craft your keywords. Back links – get lots of back links. Yadda Yadda Yadda.

The rules are a changing. Google is altering their formula to do other things. I understand repeat visits will assume greater importance, for example.

Google is routinely altering how they rank sites. But there is a constant – and that’s Google’s intent. What’s Google’s intent? They want the sites on the first page of a search to be the BEST sites. Sites with really great and unique content, that people want to visit over and over again!

This is where ‘black hat’ vs. ‘white hat’ SEO comes in. The ‘white hat’ approach is to, more or less, make the website as good, as rich with quality unique content as possible.This is straight forward, write quality content or purchase it from freelancers.

The ‘black hat’ is focused on making a profit, the site is a means to an end and pagerank is achieved ‘by any means necessary’. Often this means doing stuff like cribbing from other’s writing to make ‘new’ articles (there’s software to automate this though I doubt it does a good job) and automating blogs with feeds from other blogs.

I personally recommend researching it all, there’s a lot of valuable stuff to learn from either branch of SEO. I’ll be sharing stuff I’ve found useful as we go along in this blog category.

the power of blogging

Why blog? Blogs enjoy special treatment in the world wide web.

• When you post a blog, it can be set up to automatically ping a server so your site is crawled immediately by web spiders and very quickly updated in search engines.
• By regularly blogging, you are gradually building an enormous and rich amount of unique quality content for your entire website.
• Your blog can be equipped with an rss feed, this is an additional distribution system increasing the exposure of your website. An rss feed also, critically, can be used to give or add content to another blog, giving you many valuable back links.
• There’s many SEO techniques unique to blogs (see all the links beneath every post to bookmarking sites, the relevant links to other sites are exchanged for relevant links to my site, the rss feed is pinged to multiple clients ..etc.

So obviously, Blogging for the SEO advantages, is a rarefied activity. You need to be able to write something someone else would want to read. And this is challenging for many people. It needn’t be though. If you can talk well enough, there are speech to text software packages. It is best if the blog is on a subject you have real interest in.

SECRETS TO SEO BLOGGING

I’m using WordPress and recommend it!

Here are my tips and plug ins for WordPress!

If you use WordPress, you can access these plug ins from the administration area.

• Akismet is an anti-spam plug in. This one is very important, for ever legit comment I get 10 or more spam replies. If you don’t want you blog littered with links to porn and gambling sites, you must have an anti-spam plug-in (Google will or may sabotage your ranking if you have links going out to porn, gambling, warez..etc.)
• All in one SEO pack is convenient, helps you target key words in your blog posting, streamlines the work involved.
• Easy Adsenser Adsense is one way to make some profit from your site, ideally it adds value though I can’t say I’d recommend many of the spell-casting services regularly posted here given this site is about doing magic yourself.
• Google Analyticator This allows Google analytics to access hits to this blog so your google analytics is accurate. I don’t understand why google analytics has different numbers from my server’s statistics – but Google offers tools my server does not. It’s critically important to have this data if you’re running a business!
• NoFollow Free Without this plug in people that are kind enough to reply to your posts get no SEO benefit from the back link accompanying their post. I want people to reply and I don’t  mind allowing them SEO credit for their link. When I post to other’s blogs I wish they’d offer the same courtesy. The purpose of ‘no-follow’ tags is to limit spam – but Akismet is quite good at that.
• Related Sites This plug-in adds my site to ‘the Blog Traffic Exchange’ – so my site will be posted on other related blogs as others are posted on mine. In practice it also gives links to related posts from my own blog – improving the functionality of the blog to new vistors. Good good good!
• Sociable gives all those links to bookmarking sites below every post. It also allows folks to print or email any given post. I use it to bookmark every new post to several sites as part of my seo effort and it’s been effective. Thanks especially to all the stumbleupon visitors plugging my site!

Now for the killer killer SEO blog tip!

Google trends This is THE killer SEO resource for blogging! What is it? Very simply – it tells you what people are searching for on Google on any given day. How is this useful? Simple – you find a way to relate your subject matter to the popular subject matter – and use the popular key words in your blog title!

There is an art to this. You need to familiarize yourself with the popular subject matter enough to at least keep your first paragraph on topic. This is for the folks new to your site looking for information on the key work you’re using – give it to them. And then you need to tie in the introductory topic into YOUR topic. Usually how I do this is I look at the list of popular search terms and use it as a catalyst for a chaos magic article. It’s not always one of the top ten for that day, and if I can make no connection I don’t use any thing from that days google trends.

If you look at my posts, the one on Watchmen, Google’s Autopilot, Zatanna and several others are posts the were generated by examing Google trends. And they have spiked visits to my site. And many of those visitors – have returned! -Because I write well – dammit!
