Better Rankings= More Traffic ! Want to move to Google Page 1 and take it ALL?

Mark Dulisse has a true IM success story so crazy I almost didn’t believe it until I saw the screenshots.  This single dad went from waiting in line for food handouts all the way to the TOP of Google.

Now he’s coming out from behind the curtain to share how he’s been quietly DOMINATING Google as a 5 figure affiliate, and this isn’t quite like ANYTHING I’ve seen before:

http://secretmarketinglinks.com/dominating-google

One of the things it seems like people have been looking for online FOREVER is really good SEO knowledge that:

A. Is NOT too expensive – some courses run in the $1000s a MONTH!  Come on, I thought this was about getting FREE traffic!

B. They want a teacher who is like THEM.  Not an egghead who knows the science of search but zilch about business…

C. And NOT a junky “fraud-uct” from some slimy sales bully who is only selling re-bundled SEO because he knows people out there are desperate for it.

Finally someone comes along who NOT ONLY has MASTERED dominating Google’s page one as top-selling affiliate, he has REVERSE ENGINEERED several UNIQUE aspects of getting rankings -

Well, frankly, they’re almost unfair!

Why do I say that?  Well when Mark wants to share how he DOMINATES Google every single day, he DOES NOT hold back!  This isn’t just a handful of techniques.

This isn’t just one or two strategies.  This isn’t even just one single way to get better rankings.  Mark’s not satisfied with getting to page 1.  He’s not satisfied for you to get just that either.

Mark’s strategy is to secure MULTIPLE top listings for MONEY MAKING keywords that are ONLY ever typed in by people who are looking to BUY and buy RIGHT NOW. 

They already want whatever they’re looking for – they just need an excuse or a little bit of justification to explain to themselves WHY they wanted it…

That’s where Mark’s methods come in.  No matter where they look, he’s got page after page just WAITING for them to stumble across.

But HERE’S where Mark’s method differs from your average Black Hat Bum.  It’s NOT about selling people stuff that’s no good.  It’s about helping people make informed buying decisions.

It’s about helping them not just find what they were looking for, but leading them to buying the BEST SOLUTION for their problem – and that’s how Mark went from broke…

…To pulling in FIVE FIGURES a MONTH!  That’s right – NO BLACK HAT.  NO SCAMMING.  Do you want to succeed online?  Do you want to do it ALL with FREE traffic from Google?

Most importantly – do you want to make your fortune by HELPING people so you can sleep with a clear conscience?  Now you can, and Mark’s course “Dominating Google” will make it AFFORDABLE.

Mark takes it step by little tiny baby step for the beginners:

> Demystifying Google’s Search Pages, what it takes to get to page 1, to stay on page 1, and to start taking over ALL the spots…

> All the tools you need not just to work your SEO mojo, but even better – measure and IMPROVE over time, climbing past the competition…

> The EXACT blueprint you need to carve your website into a lean, mean, Google-dominating machine, even if you’re starting from SCRATCH!

And even if you think you’ve got SEO in the bag, I guarantee Mark’s got some angles in his bag of tricks that you never even knew were POSSIBLE!

> Dominating Google “Verticals” like Google Local, Video, Images, News, Shopping…  Everything Google offers, you can DOMINATE!

> Dominating Google with every technology out there like RSS, Mobile SEO, Universal Search, Social Media, and of course, even blogs!

http://secretmarketinglinks.com/dominating-google

But don’t make the mistake of thinking of the above two bullets as separate things – ALL of Mark’s SEO knowledge is part of a WHOLE.

That means that this isn’t a list of 100 different ways you might succeed at getting one ranking one time.  This stuff is all part of one GIGANTIC, inter-connected system.

Other people have attempted this before, but by cutting corners, they get only SHORT TERM successes, followed by failure after failure.

That doesn’t stop people from teaching these shoddy techniques to others.  After all, bad SEO even APPEARS to work sometimes… But again, this is where Mark’s training TRULY stands out.

The final part of the course is ALL ABOUT how to avoid these hidden SEO Traps and Fatal Mistakes!  Listen, if you’ve been around the internet marketing scene for long, you KNOW this:

You don’t HAVE to be a “bad guy” for Google to think you are and start punishing you like one!  They call it the Google SLAP – or if you’re feeling nicer, the Google DANCE!

It’s not much of a “dance” if you’re left out of the search results when the music stops, right?  So don’t dance to the tune of some slimy pied piper.  Follow SEO knowledge you can TRUST.

>> http://secretmarketinglinks.com/dominating-google

The FOUNDATION of what Mark teaches is “bread and butter” SEO that makes you MONEY.  This stuff is what fed his kids and kept a roof over his head when he was at his lowest…

And he KEPT doing it because it was WORKING.  And now he’s got more money just sitting in his PayPal account doing NOTHING than some folks reading this made last year.

Heck, some folks made less in the last TWO years, and I have no doubt it took A LOT more work.  But look, you can sit here and read more about what’s possible…

OR you can go here and listen to Mark’s story – See what Mark is offering – and DECIDE TODAY if it’s for you!  It’s that simple. 

http://secretmarketinglinks.com/dominating-google

I’m not going to insult your intelligence with a fake scarcity ploy and say that this price is temporary, or there are only so many seats…

I WILL say that JUST ONE BONUS included with this course has been selling like hotcakes at $97.  To get ALL of this training – ALL of this support – ALL of these resources…

… For THIS price?!  Mark’s insane.  I hope he doesn’t go crazy or broke just delivering this promise.  But I doubt that will happen, because he keeps churning out success after success.

Not just on his own sites, but his students dominate.  His JVs and vendors dominate.  And now it’s your turn.  For WAY LESS than any other course as comprehensive.  For WAY LESS than hundreds of less competent “gurus”. 

You get WAY MORE that what you’re going to spend.  And it’s sad to say, but that’s RARE online today.  Don’t hesitate to check this out.

Only if you want to quit messing around and start DOMINATING Google.  If you just want to tease Google, or maybe tickle Google – you should be fine with any old SEO education.

web marketeer Chris Rempel -The Two Biggest Reasons Why Most People Will Never Make a Full-Time Income Online…

It all starts when some well-meaning (yet misdirected) person encourages a budding internet entrepreneur to “start in a niche they know alot about”, or base their business around “something they’re passionate about”…

As horrible as it may sound – they’ve unknowingly sent the hopeful entrepreneur down a path of false expectations, poor results and eventually – failure. In fact, the myth of “do what you love and the money will follow” has been responsible for more failure than likely any other influence – perhaps even more so than laziness or a lack of perseverance.

Because the simple truth of the matter is that the only way you’re going to make real money on the net is if your business is based around two crucial things:

1) Large Demand

2) Buyers

In other words – you aren’t going to get rich selling a $15 ebook about growing square watermelons – even though that might be a great passion of yours.

The demand just isn’t there. Maybe there’s a few searches a day on Google for the topic, and perhaps there’s some interest in the online “gardening enthusiast” communities – but you’d be hard-pressed to make even a few hundred dollars a month from ebook sales.

Similarly, you also aren’t going to have a particularly easy time getting rich by building websites about some seemingly “popular” topics like humor, jokes, funny pictures and so on. And while there are a few ways to “monetize” your site (with AdSense, CPA Offers, CPM Banners, etc.), it takes literally millions of website visitors to make even just a few thousand dollars in markets like that.

The demand is huge – but the visitor value is extremely low…

Instead, if you want to make it big online – pulling down an impressive six-figure income – you need to tap into markets with tons of demand, where the majority of the visitors are valuable.

You need to capture tons of traffic that wants to buy something. If you take this approach, you’d practically have to hijack your own order links (or affiliate links) not to make a sizeable income.

In fact – did you know that some affiliates make several thousand dollars daily just by promoting a single product in hot markets? (Just imagine what the merchant is making…)

In some markets there’s actually so much demand that the vendors are quite literally selling over a thousand units – or more – per day. Digital products, with practically zero overhead/delivery cost.

But it all comes back to tapping into valuable demand. In most cases, it takes no extra effort or “skill” to market to a valuable market than it does to struggle along with something you’re passionate about.

These two factors – demand and buying traffic – are what seperate the “wannabe” marketers from the millionaires. Because there’s no real secret – you just need to sell what thousands of people are already buying.

The ball is now officially in your court. Are you tapping into markets with massive, valuable demand?

Or are you struggling to simply make a few dollars occasionally with a business that’s based on your own passionate interests?

I use the following site http://www.checkpagerank.net/index.php

Determing google pagerank is important when you buy or sell a domain.

PageRank is one of the methods Google uses to determine a page’s relevance or importance. Pagerank fraud is becoming a serious problem. It is achieved when offending websites use a 301 or 302 redirects that point their sites to sites with a high Pagerank.

It is quite easy to spot these fake PR sites since they have no links pointing to there website, you can do a search on Google link:http://www.domain.com/ or use the site below that will give you a pagerank and other informations.

FAKE PAGERANK DETECTION & COMPLETE DOMAIN ANALYSIS

ex girlfriend Magic Of Making Up, or how to setup a direct link redirect with an associated domain name.

One of the most promoted products at clickbank is making-up with your ex girlfriend.  Many people are buying it because this book was created bu someone genuinly interest in helping those with a broken hart, and since it provides real help it has low refunds.

People seems to need personal advice and this site is providing it.

While looking with http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends/?seed=ex for related keywords I found that ex girlfriend was not a bad keyword with 2106 searches.

Then I tryed to find a domain name to setup my affiliate acccount, with www.namecheap.com I saw that exgirlfriend.biz was th only available and bought it.

The secret: For ex girlfriend I used a framed redirect that make that yo keep reading the domain name in the URL bar, it was very easy to setup when I registered my domain name at www.namecheap.com .When I’ll have more time I’ll setup a wordpress website and will add related content for maybe a product launch, but in the main time my domain will age.

The nice thing about ex-girlfriend is that they do help you promote with texts like the one below that you can use to promote:

The Ways To Get ex girlfriend Back In Your Arms

If you’ve been dumped and you’re looking for ways to get ex back then I have to say that kicking and screaming, begging and pleading is not the best of ways to get ex back.  Instead you need to make sure you closely follow what I’m about to lay out for you.

Always one of the ways to get ex back involves appearing to be in control of yourself and not acting like a desperate and needy out of control victim. So, if you’ve been accused of being needy, then now is your chance to show them that you’re far from that.

It might be too late, but if it isn’t and your ex is simply talking about leaving, then as soon as they mention that they’re leaving, make sure you agree the breakup.  Sounds like the opposite to what you want, but if you let them go and you do it calmly and without drama, then your path to getting them back is going to be a lot smoother.
Once they’re gone, you’re going to have to do what the experts call ‘No Contact!’ That means just what it says.  The best ways to get ex back is always to make sure you’re not bombarding them with text messages and calls.  If your ex has heard nothing from you since they walked out, then it doesn’t make them forget you, it makes them miss and wonder what you’re up to.

Getting on with your life after they have gone is a crucial method to use when you’re trying to figure ways to get ex back.  Not only is this a good way to keep yourself busy, but it is also a great way to put things into perspective.  Nothing will help you with your judgment and confidence more than being in a social situation and having some fun with others, so get on with your life.

After you have given yourself some time to think and adjust, guess what, your ex has had the same amount of time to calm down and reassess their decision too.  You should have been out of contact with your ex for at least a month before you decide the time is right to make contact with them.

Phone them up and have a very short and casual conversation with them.  Ask for a meeting somewhere neutral, but don’t make it sound like a big heavy deal. Remember you are trying to find ways to get ex girlfriend back, so no emotional manipulation.

At the meeting explain you’ve had time to think and you would like to apologize for any mistakes you’ve made.  Tell your ex your feelings for them haven’t changed and you would like another chance.  Always give your ex space to say what they think and how they feel, and listen carefully and sincerely to what they have to say.

SEO tools – Giving Google What They Want To Achieve High Rankings #1

Hello Dear Secret Links Finder, 

Tags: seo,web seo ppc ny,seo company,seo tools,seo services,seo web design,seo hosting web design,web design seo,free seo tools,seo technology environment

Over the last few days we have done some excellent keyword and niche marketing research. This data will help to insure our time spent building all kind of sites and certainly mini sites will be profitable.

That being said their are many, many factors that will determine just how much money our new site will make.

** I like to think of these factors as rules …

However when your just getting started with online marketing and launching a website no one hands you the rule book.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- Back To The Google Webmaster Guidelines

in a hurry click here >>>  SEO TOOLS

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It is really amazing just how much impact a new website can have if launched properly. I have launched websites in the A.M while drinking coffee that have made money by the time I was eating launch just hours earlier.

>> How Did I Make Money So Quickly?

I was able to break into the top ten of Google for my targeted keyword phrases within hours of launching my site.

Thus my new site drove traffic and made money within hours.

The key is giving Google what they want, most folks miss this.

They focus too much on their own needs and think little about Google or visitors to their site.

Google got to be the number one search engine by providing solid search results that help people.

Google is in business just like you and me, their job is to be able to sort through millions and millions of web pages and “rank” those pages based pages they feel will help their users the most.

With this understanding it becomes our job to:

1. - Give Google Exactly What They Want
2. - Give Our Future Site Visitors Exactly What They Want
3. - Rank In The Top Ten Of Google For Our Targeted Keyword Phrases
4. - Drive Our Visitors To Affiliate Merchant Offers And Or To Generate Advertising Income Via Adsense Or Similar Programs

We have already spoken about giving our visitors exactly what they want (and only what they want), now lets take a look at giving Google exactly what they want.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From The Google Webmaster Guidelines:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

** Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links.

Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link. Our websites should be based on text links as stated above.

Each page should be accessible from each page ** Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.

Our websites should contain a sitemap.

** Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

Our websites should offer “useful information-rich” content.

Furthermore … our content must be unique and not found elsewhere online.

** Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes

those words within it.

Our website pages should be based on keyword phrases that people use while searching (we have already addressed this issue).

** Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler

doesn’t recognize text contained in images, use ALT or TITLE tags to give a description to the image, give your images a keyword included name. >> read more on SEO TOOLS

Our websites should be based on text, images and fancy elements are simply not needed.

•  Make sure that your <title> elements and alt attributes are descriptive and accurate.
•  Our website pages should contain keyword phrases from our niche research in the title tag.
•  Check for broken links and correct HTML. Our websites should not have broken links or html.
•  If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a “?” character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

Our websites should not be based on dynamic pages but rather static page urls.

•  Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).

Our website pages should contain fewer than one hundred links per page.

>>Commission Blueprint<< vs. <<Profit Praxis>> – The Challenge

I bet you’re sick to death of it… you know… the latest ‘this’… the latest ‘that’, the latest million dollar launch apparently showing you how to make millions as well…and written by people doing marketing business since 1995 and copywriters old enough to be your grand-pa …

It’s all just so unrealistic…

The fact is, the only reason why these guys make mega bucks so darn quickly is because they pay master copywriters like Michel Fortin $30,000 – $50,000, or Frank Kern $25,000 to write their sales letters…. not to mention the fact they’re obviously buddies with all the other ‘gurus’, all of whom have 200,000+ email lists…

Just think about it… 50 guys with 200,000 strong lists? That’s an instant mail out to 10 Million ultra responsive buyers… guess you are also on a few of these mega-lists…

…I mean, there’s no wonder launches like Stompernet make $28 Million in 3 days.

But it’s just the way in which they make out that anyone can do the same is what really gets me.

To put it mildly…

It’s Disinformation At The Highest Level…

Of course, like anything, it can be done… but the truth is, unless you’re repeatedly coughing up $5000 going to these networking seminars for a big ‘guru bash’, where everyone sucks up to everyone else, they’re never going to help you out or promote what you’re offering simply because you’re not one of the ‘inner circle’.

What you need is

a simple A to Z blueprint complete with PDF’s, Videos and Audios walking you through this amazing affiliate profits system step by step, with nothing left out.. for those who just started in marketing business.

Also the time where you could make money with Google Adsense by creating content websites is over.

Not only did Google change from a search engine to a service provider who put it’s own content above the fold for many valuable keywords (e.g. try to search for “New York hotels” and you’ll see what I mean). You’ll get not one generic result, only Google ads, Google maps, Google News,  Google videos, Google Books, etc… No wonder Google earned 25% more from Adwords than last quarter, they just don’t give chances to rank high in the search results.. And the value of clicks lowered with 80 % in two years time for the same amount of traffic, when Google doesn’t drop your site, because they don’t like your design, content, or some images near a Google ad. So drop Google and try something else.

WHAT YOU NEED: Just proven methodology containing all the easy steps you need to make a ton of money with either Clickbank, Commission Junction or whatever affiliate and CPA network you wanna’ earn money from. If you just follow the simple steps provided you’ll be on your happy way to making your first profits in as little as a few days from now.

Commission Blueprint vs. Profit Praxis- are just doing that:

Did you have a chance to pick up a copy of Commission Blueprint yet? If not, chances are the reason is because you discovered it is not really a newbie product and that the system is just TOO COMPREHENSIVE. Just way too advanced
for the average person seeking to make a few extra dollars online part-time from home.

If that’s the case for you… I encourage you to check out the first system they released called Profit Praxis. It’s less expensive, less challenging and… in my opinion… may be even better than their latest release because you get more stuff.

More videos, tutorials and templates. Literally everything you need (if you are willing to follow instructions, as YOU SHOULD ) to make a significant income online even working part-time.

So if you already had some success yourself with clickbank in the past, and are already getting regularly Clickbank checks use Commission Blueprint and in the other cases Profit Praxis will work better.Tell me below what you did find out. A comment is always welcome.

Google Offers Inbound Link Advice

Jason Lee Miller | October 11, 2008 | found at http://www.WebProNews.com

Want links? Google says be interesting

Google’s Maile Ohye concluded Link Week with a tutorial on inbound links. It says basically what SEO experts have been saying for years: content and inbound links are most important, and in that order.

Just because it’s old news doesn’t mean it’s bad news. Google’s had a real history of silence on the SEO side of things, and experts were often left to theorize and test-and worse, try to game. Google sent a pretty loud signal this time last year by hitting the PageRanks of paid directories, a move seeming to confirm basic white-hat SEO tactics.

In her post, Ohye extols the virtues of naturally gained, editorial inbound links and directly denounces links appear “spammy,” or not “merit-based.”

One of the strongest ranking factors is my site’s content.
Additionally, perhaps my site is also linked from three sources — however, one inbound link is from a spammy site. As far as Google is concerned, we want only the two quality inbound links to contribute to the PageRank signal in our ranking.

“Given the user’s query, over 200 signals (including the analysis of the site’s content and inbound links as entioned above) are applied to return the most relevant results to the user.”

Ohye then offered four bullet points on how to earn merit-based links, paraphrased below:

• Start a site-related blog, writing or video, research or entertainment.
• Be interesting. Be a teacher. (Hey, that should be a recruitment slogan for a College of Education somewhere! I’ll sell it to ya for the bargain price of $500,000-if a private school, just $10,000, since as a non-government institution you can’t just print the money you need.)
• Participate in the community surrounding your industry-social media, blog comments, user reviews.
• Provide useful products or services.

In short: content, content, content, a little participation, and the links will come.

———————————————-

I would add use page title that contain one main “keywords phrase” preferably selected with tools like wordtracker or Google Keywords tool. These keywords should also appear in the URL and you should also make a description metatag that not only contains the same keywords but give the main advantage for human readers. If you include an image give it also a descriptive name and URL and always include a title=”your-keywords” and you’ll have basic SEO skills to go through years of top ranking Google. I don’t recommend the use of H1, H2 is better or just use the Bold and Italic features to give some Google SEO advice

• Don’t forget in your text to include links to other related pages on your site. If you are willing to accelerate the process and can miss a bit of money try to use the most powerfull SEO engine to automate your presence on the internet it’s called Brute Force SEO, (read my review) I use it everyday and it is super effective, als in very competitive niches.

Good Luck,
David Norden

This has GOT to hurt…

It’s a miracle… StomperNet’s freebie is finally live. (2 days late!) . The good news is,  I definitely think it’s been worth the wait.

I reviewed the content that was send to my home.

StomperNet had some problems with their crazy insane free “Stomping the Search Engines 2? free CD course and continuity  “THE NET EFFECT” 44 pages magazine offer (40$ a month send to your home if you decide to follow up) . For me the Monthly Action Plan, giving me 14 steps to turn the “Net Effect” Issue into a Goldmine explaining me what to do step by step was a reason to TAKE ACTION.

They ended up holding the “grand opening” up until tomorrow so they can get everything working just right.

And don’t worry – Andy just promised me they’d fill EVERY ORDER.

But if you want to see And Jenkins actually APOLOGIZE on camera, now’s your chance.

http://www.freshlet.com/stomping-search-engines.htm

But why this is good for you is they have an early notification list set up there, so you won’t have to wait (and wait) for them to get fixed.

They’ll just go ahead and let you know DIRECTLY when they’re ready.

And that’s pretty cool of them.

HI SECRET SEARCH ENGINES LINKS FINDERS,

Have you ever had a friend tell you a juicy secret and then get you to swear you wouldn’t tell anyone?

You know how that makes you want to tell people even more – but you just can’t?

Andy Jenkins of Stompernet did something even worse ;

A couple of weeks ago he sent me an amazing DVD showing how to legitmately get a ton of qualified traffic to your site. Now, a lot of people CLAIM to know how to generate a flood of traffic, but the Stompernet guys really deliver.

The problem?

They made me swear I wouldn’t tell anyone a word about this until today. And I’ve been bursting at the seams to let the word out.

BUT – hey, if I had to suffer so do you .
So I’m not going to give you any details other than these two:

1. This has to be the best, most reliable way to get a ton of traffic to your site that I’ve seen in years.

2. The cost is dirt cheap – in fact, it’s FREE. All you pay is a couple bucks to cover the shipping cost.

“Stomping the Search Engines 2″ goes live today at 3:00 pm Eastern. But you can watch the free video they’ve created right now. It’s quite cool:

http://www.freshlet.com/stomping-search-engines.htm

Then be sure to get back there at 3:00 pm Eastern to grab your copy. Not because there’s a limited supply – they’ve actually got plenty. But because this thing is so darned good you’ll know immediately why I had so much trouble keeping this a secret:

stomping the search engines

Regards,

David Norden

P.S.: I got incredible results achieved with SEO from Stompernet, get it for the price of the shipping and handling costs instead of the full price of 497 $. From the guys at Stompernet, get the strategy’s of top SEO experts in the world delivered to your door.

http://www.freshlet.com/stomping-search-engines.htm

Basically, these guys are giving away a course that in the past would easily sell for $500 , all so you’ll try out their continuity program.

It’s a gutsy move because if you don’t stick, they don’t make money.

And in this case, the monthly continuity is so crazy-cheap that (unlike Kern’s offer) they need you to stick for A WHILE to make it work.

Check out the offer…it goes live today soon.

-David

P.S. For what it’s worth, I have been able to review the product and the magazine (their continuity offer) and I can promise you it’s well worth the money.

(WARNING: Impending “sneaky” plug…)

So, aside from this being a great case study, it’s also a great offer and you should give it a try (if for the premium alone), so you know what to do next is click the link and see the video :

How to Use Wikipedia Entries for Lead Gen – 6 Steps to 18% Higher Conversion Rate.

found at marketingsherpa.com Jul 23, 2008

An interesting article since most marketeer seems to prefer using article marketing than Wikipedia, find below guidelines how to market your site on www.wikipedia.com .

Enjoy, David Norden

SUMMARY: Wikipedia’s heavy traffic makes it a tempting lead-generation channel for B-to-B marketers. But you need to follow some strict user guidelines, so that you’re not seen as a spammer when you use Wikipedia to generate leads.Read how a technology marketer sent more qualified traffic back to his own site. His Wikipedia referrals convert 18% more than other traffic.
CHALLENGE
Like most marketers at startup companies, Scott Niesen, Director, Marketing, Attensa, doesn’t have a huge team or a sizeable budget to build a brand and generate leads. To reach potential customers for his company’s RSS technology products, he must focus on ensuring that Attensa has a presence wherever prospects use the Web.
Niesen adopted SEO principals, and he saw social media and Web 2.0 technologies as a good fit for his marketing efforts. “We’re all about RSS and channeling information from blogs, wikis, forums, and other kinds of channels into feed-enabled portals,” says Niesen. “It’s not a big leap for us to go, ‘Oh, social computing, that makes a lot of sense.’”
http://www.marketingsherpa.com/cs/attensa/study.html

One target was Wikipedia. Its massive traffic volume and influence in search engine results is undeniable. The site also tends to attract a tech-savvy audience that researches RSS and other Web 2.0 technologies. Niesen wondered whether establishing a strong presence for his company with relevant Wikipedia entries could help drive traffic to their website.

CAMPAIGN

Niesen and his team bolstered Attensa’s presence within Wikipedia by creating new pages and augmenting existing ones, always using the site’s strict submission guidelines. Simply creating a page for your company and using language that could be considered promotional could get your article flagged as spam and quickly removed.

Here are the six steps they took to develop Wikipedia entries:

-> Step #1. Audit Wikipedia to find potential voids to fill

The team examined Wikipedia’s content to determine what already had been written related to Attensa, its competitors, and RSS technologies. They also looked for information gaps they could fill with new entries.

They searched Wikipedia manually and used a free tool that allows you to enter a keyword to display pages that receive the highest volume of user traffic. The process identified gaps they could fill, such as:
o Attensa-specific page
o Web Feed Server page (generic term for Attensa’s primary product)

They also found existing entries to which they could add information, such as:
o List of RSS aggregators
o Main RSS entry

Their goal, however, was not to create or augment Wikipedia content primarily in a self-serving way. They had to add value by expanding the information available on RSS technology.

-> Step #2. Create new pages to fill voids

Following Wikipedia’s guidelines, Niesen and his team first decided that no Attensa employees would write articles. Instead, they handed over the task to members of their external marketing agency who were experienced Wikipedia users and registered editors. (NOTE: Other agencies who have created articles on behalf of clients have reported that their entries were deleted as a violation of Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest policy.)

Next, the team employed several tactics to make sure that new entries complied with Wikipedia standards:

- Researched Wikipedia’s guidelines for content creation and editing, including standards for writing style, formatting, editing, adding links, etc.

- Crafted practice articles in the Wikipedia Sandbox – a section of the site that allows members to post draft articles, experiment with formatting, tone, and linking strategies, and receive feedback from the community.

- Contacted site editors by email to state their intentions and ask questions before posting new articles.

- Wrote articles according to Wikipedia’s neutral point-of-view standards, which discourage users from putting spin or bias in articles.

This sentence, for instance, is similar to something that would appear in company marketing materials:
o “Attensa develops RSS technology to get the right information to the right people at the right time.”

For Wikipedia, the team wrote instead:
o “Attensa develops enterprise RSS technology for XML syndication throughout an organization.”

“It’s really taking out all the slick marketing hype,” says Niesen.

-> Step #3. Supplement existing pages

To add value to existing pages on RSS, the team used the following tactics:
- Added Attensa to a list of RSS aggregators
- Included information about RSS technology that could be referenced from a company information source, such as an Attensa Web page or white paper.

-> Step #4. Strategically link related pages within Wikipedia

Guidelines state that content creators should provide relevant links to other Wikipedia articles. The team adhered to this policy when creating new pages:

- For the new Web Feed Server entry, the team included links to entries for Attensa competitors as well as other Wikipedia articles.
- They added links to relevant RSS-related Wikipedia articles under the page’s “See Also” section.

-> Step #5. Use external links to send traffic to Attensa site

Hotlinks are permitted in certain sections of a Wikipedia article, such as External Links. So, the team added links to relevant Attensa Web pages where possible.

Adding external links wasn’t an SEO ploy: Wikipedia discourages sites from using this section as a link-building tool by requiring all external links to carry a “no follow” tag. That tag instructs search engines to ignore a link when calculating a page’s search engine ranking.

Instead, the team drove qualified traffic and leads from Wikipedia to Attensa’s website. Linking tactics included:

- Using concise, targeted pages relevant to the Wikipedia article in question, rather than just linking to the company’s homepage.
- Adding links to Attensa Web pages, data sheets, and white papers in an article’s “References” section.
- Including links to third-party sites on company-specific pages to demonstrate neutrality.

-> Step #6. Track and convert traffic from Wikipedia

Each page of the Attensa website features a box with four calls to action. The box requires users to provide contact information or answer qualifying questions. That way, the marketing team has a chance to convert visitors who land on any page within the company’s website.

Using Web analytics, the team tracked referring traffic from Wikipedia pages, and recorded how many of those customers converted on one of the following four calls to action:
o Start an RSS Feed Server trial
o Get an RSS Feed Server demo
o Read a free data sheet
o Download free RSS readers

In just a few months, the team’s Wikipedia efforts boosted site traffic with qualified visitors. The numbers:o 4% increase in site traffic
o 4% increase in leads overall
o 65 leads per month on average from Wikipedia
o 18% higher conversion rate for Wikipedia traffic

“When I saw those numbers, I was really surprised,” says Niesen. Especially pleasing were “the level of quality and the way we are tracking these conversions, and the ability to get in front of customers and bring them into the sales cycle.”

Wikipedia is a collaborative, constantly evolving site, so the team’s task now is to monitor company- and industry-related pages. They want to be aware of changes being made, participate in ongoing discussions about those pages, and look for opportunities to add more relevant, useful content to the site.

Their article creation effort is still guided by two of the most important factors to keep in mind when using Wikipedia:
- Understand and live by the site’s guidelines
- Always provide value to the Wikipedia community – not just your own company

Opposed views: Seems most of the strategy above fail, once the strategy is spotted, so if you apply these techniques, better is to keep you mouth Shut, and pray your strategy isn’t to obvious. Also since you can’t advertise this strategy online, you can only sell your technique on the phone.

funny T shirt Marketing.

by David Norden

As you should know marketing your keywords is a basic SEO strategy. Anchored links will help you to do this, even better is when you apply the strategies implied by the semantic algorythm used by Google to verify if your site is consistently using the same concept or related concept.

Since an algorythm is only a set of rules those can  be used for your benefit if you understant what is is all about, and do not need to answer Human logic.

Semantic indexing is about related concept, so this means that if you have an African Art site and you want to promote it on a marketing site like this one, you need to combine the two concepts, even if they do have nothing in common, to be accepted by the algorythm.

And if you want to do a page about funny T shirt on a site related on African Art, you will have to include also the “African art” subject once or twice onto the page, so that you won’t be rejected by the Google algorythm.

I also recommend to use once or twice the main concept words about your site, like for this site “secret marketing links” , on most pages from your site even if you do not need to always speak about the basic keywords. Like for this site that will be first on Google when looking for this key phrase “secret marketing links”, even if I created this site only a few months ago.

For marketing reasons I also recommend using an image having as name the main keyword you want for the page, this will give you extra traffic through “Google image”, also use the description tag with your keyword included

Tell me below what you think, and show me your expamples where you used this secret strategy.

How To Build Backlinks via Google Alerts

By Titus Hoskins (c) 2008 found at SiteproNews.com July 2, 2008

Stay up to date by subscribing to the website feed or the weekly e-mail summaries.

Building backlinks is an essential, yet tedious job for most webmasters. Here are a few tools and tips to make that job just a little bit easier…

I am a member of many online forums. Most of these forums have to do with online marketing and site promotion. Recently, I came across a post on Ken Evoy’s SBI forum that truly caught my attention.

It basically described how to use Google Alerts to build your backlinks. Now for those not familiar with Google Alerts a little explanation is probably needed.

Google Alerts

Google Alerts is a free program run by Google that allows you to keep track of any topic on the web. You select your “keywords” or “urls” and Google will alert you via email whenever links/ content containing your selected topics appear anywhere on the web.

It is an excellent way to keep informed about your domain or name. It is also perfect for keeping up-to-date on the latest information in your market niche or niches. It’s also a great way to find out what other people are saying about you or your site.

For example: if you have a site on “antique cars” then you would create a Google Alert for those keywords. Google will alert you by email whenever a new link/content related to those keywords appears on the web.

This is a great way to stay informed in your niche, but it is also a valuable source of potential linking partners. Many of those links are blogs that will allow comments with a link back to your site.

Google Alerts will probably send you 10-20 links each day, depending on the popularity of your chosen keywords. Just go to these blogs/links and see if you can leave a comment with some valuable additional information on what’s been discussed.

Don’t Spam

Please Note: Don’t spam; there are intelligent people behind most of these blogs, and they will recognize keyword spam when they see it. Your main goal should be getting targeted traffíc back to your site and any link PR should be secondary. Always put the reader or viewer first, especially if it’s on someone else’s site. Don’t talk about your site or your marketing – just join the conversation and add your comments/opinions/suggestions…

Enhance their site and they will reward you with traffic and a link. But you still have to keep your interests in the equation! You have to make sure you get your targeted keywords in the anchor text.

Keyword Market

First, if you’ve done your homework, your main keywords should already be in your domain name or url. Another way is to add your “keywords” + “guide” to your sig or signature. Such as: Name, Your Antique Cars Guide. If you’re an expert in your particular niche, many webmasters will kindly welcome your comments and links.

Since your main goal is the traffic, many webmasters don’t worry if there is a “no follow” attribute attached to the link. But if you are concerned about this – one way is to look at the source code to see if it has the “no follow” tag. I usually copy the whole source code of the page to my text editor and then do a simple “no follow” search.

No Follow

There is also a great little free comment tool called “Comment Kahuna” co-created by Jason Potash which will search blogs and tell you if they have the “no-follow” attribute or not, it will also give you the PageRank of each blog post. If you’re going to use blogs as a source of your backlinks, I suggest you try Comment Kahuna – it will make the task much easier and it’s free.

Actually, while the “no-follow” issue may be a concern for some webmasters, the savvy ones will realize these are links/sites Google is actively indexing and spidering, otherwise you wouldn’t get the alert in the first place. You must get your links into this whole mix of related, relevant sites to help raise your rankings. Also remember the other search engines may not even consider the “no-follow” tag.

Trackbacks

Likewise, creating trackbacks are another way of linking relevant content. Keep in mind, a trackback is simply an acknowledgement via a ping signal that is sent from Site A (originator) to Site B (receptor). Then the receptor often places a link back to Site A showing its worthiness.

Again, I am mainly concerned with the quality of the blog or link, rather than the linking structure. I want the targeted traffíc, and it doesn’t really matter whether the link has “no follow” because interested visitors only see a link they can click for other helpful information.

Other Linking Options

Since we are on the topic of link building, another useful way to build backlinks is to use Google Search or Google Blog search. Now if you’re looking for niche-related blogs just type in:

“(Keywords)” “powered by (blog scripts)”

For example, if you’re looking for some “antique cars” related links on WordPress blogs, you would search for:

“antique cars” “powered by wordpress”

And Google would give you a whole líst of sites on antique cars.

Now if you want to find the links that will allow comments, just repeat the Google search with:

“antique cars” “powered by wordpress” “leave a comment” -”no comments”

Remember the “-” means posts that have no comments will not be displayed.

If you’re concerned with PageRank, Number of Backlinks, Alexa Ranking… of particular posts you can download and install the SEOQuake plugin. This handy SEO plugin can be attached to your browser and will give you helpful SEO information on the link or links you’re viewing.

Used in conjunction with Google, it can sort thru all these blog posts and give you the ones with the highest PR? Highest traffic? Highest number of backlinks? The more knowledge you have, the easier and more effective your link building will become.

Just remember, finding quality backlinks is probably the most tedious job for most webmasters. It takes time and it takes patience. By using Google Alerts you can have relevant keyword related links emailed to you each day. Use this information to help build your backlinks in relevant related niches. Do this consistently over a period of time and your site will get noticed and ranked higher.

For Internet marketing, it’s all about linking up with others

By Dana VanDen Heuvel found June 18, 2008 at greenbaypressgazette.com

Links are the currency of the Internet. The more you have, the better off you are and the more traffic your Web site is likely to receive. The practice of acquiring more links to your Web site is called “link building.”

In short, link building is nothing more than securing links to your Web site from other reputable sites, such as referring partners, local businesses, the chamber of commerce, local directory sites and the like.

For local businesses, here are some link-building tactics that you can start tomorrow:

Quick!

What is the hottest social media tool to emerge on the scene this year? It’s ‘Twitter’, and you may get hooked too…

I recently came back from a fully packed conference on social media marketing, the Danny Sullivan SMX show in Long Beach, CA, and all-the-rage was Twitter, a micro-blogging platform that many at first (typically) considered a ‘joke’ or maybe just a temporary fad. They (we) were all wrong, but most agreed that using any tool or technique without a reasonable strategy was a missed opportunity.

But, let’s not be too quick – learn how to research & leverage the social media space with planning and execution along the way.

I’ll show you that micro blogging and the other tools and platforms in this short SMM guide are things you might consider for your important social media marketing.

Furthermore, SMM can provide quality traffic, you can minimize the often laborious time by a little planning and it is possible to market into B2B marketplaces. It’s not just for kids anymore.

What is it?

“Social media marketing (SMM) is a form of internet marketing which seeks to achieve branding and marketing communication goals through the participation in various social media networks”. Social Media is a shorter top level term that describes the space overall, and covers the activities around social interaction, content, videos, images and audio exposure.

Where to start?

Many of us are so excited about the technology and web (hence my somewhat trite opening), that we forget key pieces to success: definition of business goals, objectives and overall process for execution. The old “fail to plan, plan to fail” comes to mind. While you need to create the roadmap for your online business – you must certainly decide on what goals and resulting metrics you want to attain.

Social media marketing can help you increase the activity around these top goals:

• Website traffic and user behavior (external and internal tracking)
• Conversion and sales tracking
• Page views, ad exposure
• Growing brand awareness (a softer value, takes longer to build)
• Creating a positive brand association and keeping it there (see also reputation management)
• Business development and a broader customer reach

How can you create and convert all this activity with social media?

Since the social web allows you to interact with others, create and promote content that can get links and viral attraction, you can – with the right strategy – reach key influencers using this medium. We all know what blogs alone can do, and they are pretty search engine friendly out of the box.

Social media expansion is important because this provides foundations for broader / faster mindshare, along with supporting your search engine marketing objectives. You *can* convert traffic if you target appropriately (research needed), and do not spam. Read each point below to get a deeper understanding.

Tip #1 – Assistance:
Limit talking about yourself, at least initially – provide ways to help others instead. This is probably the most important tip in the social media workplace. Say you are building your new del.icio.us profile, make sure to bookmark other useful resources and sprinkle yourself lightly. It’s about “them”, not “you”. Don’t forget this important rule!

Tip #2 – Process:
Don’t become a “me too” – establish a process and goals for how to get there. I recommend reading 5 pillars for one, and much like SEO programs that have a process (keyword research, competitive review, content analysis, etc), build out a similar map. Too many companies dive in too fast, with no real plan and they are simply peeing in the pool, and no good results come from that.

Tip #3 – Contribute:
Be the one to create (quality) content. While community is Queen in Social Media, quality content is still King, and always will be. Studies show that people are reading much online, but a much smaller group is contributing content. This can mean good opportunities for you.

Tip #4 – Connect:
Reach out to the influencers in your niche, be polite, honest, sincere, and you’d be amazed what brand advocates can do for you.

Tip #5 – Position:
Position yourself in front of consumers’ passions. It can and will create a powerful outcome for your brand.

Tip #6 – Blog:
Make sure you have setup a blog. These numbers are not to be overlooked. I think Technorati is tracking over 110 million blogs now, and growing at a furious pace, even excluding splogs (spam blogs).

Tip #7 – Links:
Don’t be afraid to link out to other blogs and websites in general. Links are what search engines and users make good use of – and search engines would not survive without them. Give others the love too.

Tip #8 – Videos:
Video consumption is growing fast. Create a “how to…” or “top tips…” videos and submit to YouTube. It has wide reach, and you could have millions of people see it. For even wider distribution, you should try tubemogul.com or vidmetrix.com, tools to help automate. In generating all content, make sure to keep #1 rule in check. It’s fine to brand with a URL at the end of the video, but no direct selling. Humor, controversy and weird stuff works very well, keep that in mind – don’t be afraid to test.

Tip #9 – Technorati:
You said you have a blog, right? Claim your blog at Technorati. This will ensure you are indexed in their search engines for blogs and updates are broadcast across the network, along with your own blog network updates. This happens behind the scenes from automatic “pings”.

Tip #10 – Analytics:
Open an account from list below, use your brand name as identifier. This will establish your brand or company name, and not let anybody else assume or steal your personality so easily. Then, work with one or two from the list below to start, and don’t go too fast. Look at your web analytics and track referring domains and review traffic movements daily, weekly.

Tip #11 – Feeds/Research:
Subscribe to feeds, and use iGoogle, My Yahoo Web or other favorite RSS readers. Watch for changes (use Google.com/alerts also), and be the first to comment and engage in your topic. First commenters often get more visibility and traction.

Tip #12 – MicroCommunities:
Locate and join microcommunities – they are social communities that are relevant to your business. Some examples are education.com, nowpublic.com, travbuddy.com, gardenweb.com, shoetube.com, yelp.com and care2.com (non profits). It is much easier to have your voice heard in these and similar markets, than trying a post to Digg that may go nowhere. Those are the perfect places for the “big fish in a small pond” rule. Create highly relevant and linkworthy content, research what others are writing about, and connect with the top players and influencers.

Tip #13 – Submit:
Review the resources below, and consider building out profiles over time. If you submit content, make sure it’s useful, unique and that the title of your post stands out. Pick one or two resources to start, and don’t overextend yourself. Some of the top social marketers in the industry spend 10-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. This is a lot of manual (social) labor, but you don’t have to go at it that hard. Make sure to ask friends to vote or comment on your postings, befriend others, but no spam. Make intelligent posts and do not have your company employees post from the same location (IP Address). The submission(s) will most likely be rejected, and worst case, your account blocked or suspended.

Tip #14 – Hosting:
Have a good hosting provider. If traffic spikes come, and your server instrastructure cannot handle it, you are toast. You don’t want a Digg server melt-down (fun pic). Here’s a first hand story and how to deal with it.

Tip #15 – Monitoring:
If you want to save time monitoring across many resources within the social networks, try the new Yahoo Pipes, it’s a social monitoring desktop in a browser.

Tip #16 – Advertising:
If you are an advertiser, you might want to check out socialspark.com and socialmedia.com – they both are showing promise from what I can see.

Working from home – newbies review to stuff cash

This very low priced product is not something for advanced marketeers was my first impression.

I bought it for 9,97$ (price soon to be raised at 15$), because everybody was promoting it but did not expect to much from it.

I must tell Ewen Chia uses all the tricks of the books to do an upsell ( in fact he does two), and his site looks BOLD  and screamy but once you bought and found the links to the main product you bought (hint:below the page) the main product is well done and gives clear explanations that everybody can understand.

This product is not something for someone who has a few years experience. 

The main Ebook was much to basic for me, but I found the three bonus video’s quite good and the extra Ebook with some “blueprint” quite interesting.

You’ll get two pdf’s, a few video’s, tips to promote Ewen Chia’s products ( a lesson in itself) a few video’s giving explanation about Clickbank, and how to cloack your affiliate links in three different ways, and also a video about how to write articles in article directories in a proper way to get people visit the sale pages.

—>> stuff cash

He also gives some good bonusses for newbies and advanced marketeers, I enjoyed listening to his 26 psychology tips mp3 to copywriting. Giving the main reasons why people buy so that you can use them in your copy, and how to trigger the curiosity of your readers … I was glad he hired a nice voice to read the mp3′s. Shouldn’t it ? SECRETS, CURIOSITY, POWER.  It will give you more power and make you famous , etc ..hm … Just buy know and become rich, … this kind of triggers…  Forget it, if you don’t work to it it will fail, and if you are looking for secret advanced strategies don’t buy this product but if you want to get some good tips to hype your products, or are a complete newbie who want’s to learn how to cloack a link, need some clear explanations video on how to setup a Google Adwords campaign and choose words or if you don’t know the use of negative keywords, need basic SEO tips, want to get tips to do article writing marketing or need a blueprint with all the elements needed to write an effective saleletter go for it. For the price of a burger you’ll get some healthy basic tips, but don’t expect this product to get you out of the rat race.

30 minutes links

Wow! Your video tutorials were awesome.

I’ve always wonderdered how software developers were able to get so many of their links on so many websites. Thanks to you, now I know! Aaron Brandon

 Software is not so much crowded as websites

By Michelle McPhearson

More links = higher rank = more traffic.

“30 Minute Backlinks” is a set of video tutorials thoroughly explaining a previously unpublished method of getting hundreds of one way links to your site.

It shows, in step-by-step follow along detail, the 30 minute process of creating software and adding that software to online software directories (some as high as 5, 6 and 7 PR). Those software directories will link back to your site.

1 way backlinks

Best,

I don’t know how it is for you, but I don’t have the time to create content and and the same time take hours to promote my content with the web 2:0 sites, but the guys at Stomper Blog seem to have discovered some very powerful tips to get your sites at NR 1 when you are working on difficult keywords :

1.  Register multiple accounts for each of the Social Bookmarking sites listed at www.SocialMarker.com.  We suggest starting out with at least 10 unique accounts for each Social Bookmarking (SB)
   site.  Here’s some additional tips that will help you do this quickly.
   
2. For example, visit www.propeller.com and open up 10 unique accounts using different usernames, email addresses, etc.
   
3. Use free email accounts from Yahoo, Gmail, etc. to open up the accounts.
   
4. Repeat the process for each of the 29 Social Bookmarking sites listed at www.SocialMarker.com
   
5. Jeff’s guys tell him it only takes about 15 minutes to sign up for all 29 of those SB sites.   So creating 10 accounts at each should only take a few hours to complete.
6. Use www.SocialMarker.com  itself when signing up for your new accounts; when it takes you to each of the 29 sites, don’t enter your existing passwords.  Simply sign up for a new one and move on to the next.
7. **TIP – Use www.RoboForm.com  to organize all your usernames and passwords – it’s a great time saver (not just for this, but for a LOT of your online activities).
8. Rotate the SB accounts you use for each page/post/video you submit through SocialMarker.com
9. For example, you should have made 10 propeller.com accounts in the last step.  For any given item you are bookmarking, randomly choose 3 of those accounts to submit your item to.  The next time you bookmark an item, randomly choose 3 more.
10. Do NOT submit this same page to all 10 of your propeller.com accounts at the same time.  It may be
    tempting, but it defeats the purpose of this strategy if you don’t follow it to the letter!
11. NOTE: We’re using propeller.com as an example here, but this applies to each different SB site just the same.
    
12. Continue to add new SB accounts to use in your promotions on a regular basis.
    
13. For example, we started but setting up 10 accounts for each SB site.  Each week or two, add a few new ones so you eventually have a roster of 40 or 50 accounts at each SB site. IMPORTANT – THIS IS A MUST-DO TIP
14. This is a DO-OR-DIE tip.  Mix it up!  If you’re promoting a page/post/video about Jessica Alba (for example) – you should ALSO Social Bookmark items you find about her from various
    other sites as well (YouTube, MySpace, Digg, etc.) that are NOT the pages you’re promoting.  This will help create that “natural” appearance we are striving for.**NOTE: If you are not natural when you do this, it’s going to look like spam – because, it IS spam if you abuse it.  Please understand that there is a fine line between power techniques like this and outright abuse – don’t abuse this tip!  Do it the
    right way.
15. Here’s another evil strategy that will multiply your results with some extra effort.  Social Bookmark the Social Bookmarking pages too!  For example, I created a video, loaded it onto YouTube, and then posted that video to my blog.  I then ran an SB promotion for my new video blog post.  But then you
    should ALSO take the video page on YouTube where I uploaded my video and run an SB promotion on that page as well.  Remember, we’re trying to get multiple pages of our content ranking.  This is how it’s done.
16. Do your SB promotions for each page/post/video SLOWLY over time.  I mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. 
    Do a few pages today, a few next week, and a few more next month.  Pacing your promotions over time is vital for long-term success and viability of this strategy.
17. When you are setting the “tags” for your Social Bookmarks, you should be using your primary keywords.  Choose highly specific “long-tail” ones whenever possible.  For example, if you’re promoting a “casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera” one of your “tags” should be “casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera”.  Then, include genreal tags too, like “digital camera”, “casio camera”, “casio exilim”, etc.
18. Create videos for your promotions whenever possible, and spread them as far and wide as you can.  Use services like www.TrafficGeyser.com and www.HeySpread.com to make this easier, faster and semi-automated.  We do this because video pages are currently tending to stay ranked longer than the Social Bookmarking sites and blog pages.  DON’T FORGET to SB those video pages like we talked about in step 5!
19. Social Bookmarking shouldn’t be the only technique you use to promote your page/post/video – Use every technique you know!  Incoming links, article marketing, press releases, SEO, etc.
20. Finally, DON’T run an SB campaign for every little page/post/video you create.  Social Bookmarking can create a lot of “spam” and again, we want to make your promotions appear natural and organic.

Just a quick word..

   It’s  David, and I want to let you in on a ‘family secret’.

   When it comes to Search Engine Optimization I know very much, but some people I know like Andrew Fox don’t but get much more traffic than I do.

How is this possible ? And why does he give you $725 of bonusses, really this was not necessary in my opinion.
   BECAUSE…. Andrew Fox has a”secret weapon”…

   A fool proof system for getting HIGH rankings in the search engine for COMPETITIVE keywords and he’s banking *BIG* cash.

   From Adsense, Clickbank and selling links on his website. Not from SEO.

   Andrew Fox brother Chris Fox has set up a video tutorial series at the website below (there are 28 in total – over 3 HOURS of pure content) showing how to do this..

   However he’s made a big error and the price is FAR TOO LOW for the value of
the information.

   Head over to the website and check  out the PROOF case studies.

  It’s time to get excited and compete with the big boys (for a tenth of the cost

 He created a site http://www.sportsnutritionguide.net/ that in two month and with only 25 pages got a PR2 and 311$ from adsense, sold clickbank products, etc…  something to be jealous from.

The secret is I am not family from Chris and Andrew and I know how to do things SEO, but still the secret tactics they use are much more powerfull, guess I have a problem to be solved …

Dr Patrick Hillenbrand is someone you don’t hear much about, but I tried his adsense video’s course because I wanted to get the grips on adsense, and because my earnings lowered much the last weeks since Google implemented his new algorithms, etc..

Anyone with good content (and lots of it) can benefit from Google AdSense

Adsense decoded videos – 2007 Favorite, See Why!

Is Google Adsense right for you ?

An article found at Mequoda daily

Size, in terms of traffic or the number of site pages, doesn’t really matter as to whether a publisher can, or should, become a Google AdSense partner. Quality content is the defining feature. In fact, the program is a great opportunity for publishers with quality content, but limited or light traffic and/or few site pages.

Some publishers may be concerned about losing traffic by having a link to someone else’s website even though they make a few cents or a dollar for every click. Because what publisher spends all of their time attracting users, just to send them away? The reality is, to many publishers’ surprise, traffic still increases and users spend just as much (if not more) time on the site. Some users may go away, but they usually come back and explore a little more. To top it off, the publishers are making a little money.

Google encourages any publisher to try AdSense, and since it’s free with no contracts or obligations, there’s no reason why a publisher should ignore the potential. You simply sign up, use their very simple ad wizard, grab the code they give you, and implement it on your page. Google says you should “watch it work and compare it to other revenue alternatives. In most cases, publishers have found that Google AdSense exceeds the revenue that they can earn through any other source, and they opt to keep us on.”

One reason why an otherwise qualified publisher might not want to participate is purely philosophical: The publisher may want the site—or certain pages of the site—to be completely ad-free. Google believes that AdSense has the best type of advertising to support content-heavy sites, and we agree.

To understand the divisions and help determine ad placement on the various pages, first prepare a conception model of the site.

• Is the site small and homogeneous, with the same kind of content and design throughout?
• Or is it more general and heterogeneous, with many different kinds of content and various designs?

A newspaper site’s sports section, for example, might have a large photo in the middle of the page, while general news may be text-heavy and the classified section might have only listings. A publisher will want to treat each section differently and track each individually.

Meanwhile, don’t think you’ll get away with any tricks, such as artificially incorporating keywords into the text to generate more sales or leads. Google has something called “smart pricing,” which is a ranking system that can detect that kind of thing—and resulting in your page being selected less frequently by the system.

Your best bet on mastering Google AdSense is to create good content. With good content comes more page views, and with more page views comes more of everything else.

I viewed his video lessons, and was astonished to see how clear his vision is, he told me those little tweaks for my website to get more clicks and those with a higher return, he also gave me some advice about things not to do.

He really gave me a few hints how to improve my sites income from Google.

For me today Google adsense is not the main income anymore, since I discover the clickbank goldmine, and that creating content by hand for Google alone is not worth my working hours.  If you want to create pages with real high income you need to sell clickbank products, but this doesn’t provide you a stable income for free, something Google adsense always does … Hillenbrand course provided me genuine blue print videos “AdSense Decoded – Taking Your AdSense to the Next Profit Level” which provide step-by-step instructions how to seriously improve my AdSense profits.

Search Engines Rankings Ups and Downs. How to connect semantically different sites together

November 6, 2007 . By David Norden.

I am personnaly very happy with the new Google Dance. I have kept most of my PR’s and many of my sites are now indexed in Google, like many of the new sites I created only a few months ago (like this site and freshlet.com ) . I have seen my general fresh traffic for all my sites getting up with +/- 30 %. I did this by linking the elements that are semantically related to each other, and by adding new pages to existing sites that have a relevance to other sites, and by including in these pages links to the new (or old) sites.

To improve the ranking of my “news weather” site, I added a page to my diamond site and called it Diamonds weather, the subject is related to Diamonds, Africa And weather on that page is a link to another of my sites related to African News, that when followed by the Google bots will be indexed, making all three sites relevant to each other.

This is how it looked on the Diamond website :

Have your rankings dropped recently? Before you do anything, you should try to find out what has caused your ranking drop. The better you understand the reason why your rankings dropped, the better you can prevent your website from future ranking drops. There are six major reasons for ranking drops: 1. Your website changes Most webmasters update their web pages regularly. As long as the changes are only small, this won’t have a big effect on your rankings. However, if you re-design your web pages or if you optimize a page for a new search term then search engines might re-calculate your search engine rankings. Google even has a filter for changed web pages. If you change your web pages, Google will temporarily apply a filter to your sites. more details Required action: If you have web pages with high search engine rankings then you should change these pages with great care. 2. The links to your website change If you have an old website with a grown inbound link structure then it’s not likely that your site rankings will drop because of a link change. If the links to your site are mainly paid links that suddenly disappear or get discounted by Google then the loss of these links can be enough to cause a significant ranking drop. In addition, sudden changes in the linking structure of a website make your website suspicious. Required action: If you heavily rely on paid links you might want to reconsider your linking strategy. Try to get inbound links that last. Continually getting links is essential to keep high rankings. If you don’t work on your links then your website will be replaced by better linked web pages in the search results. 3. The websites of your competitors change Everybody wants to be on Google’s first result page. For that reason, it’s only natural that other websites will be listed better than yours if you don’t react. Many websites target the same keywords as you do. If these other websites have better content and better links than your site then it’s only natural that these sites get better rankings. Required action: You must offer better content than your competitors. Make sure that you offer many web pages that are relevant to your search terms and that you have better inbound links than your competitors. 4. Spam elements on your web pages Search engines don’t like spam. If search engines find out that you use cloaking, hidden text, doorway pages or any other spam technique on your web pages then it is extremely likely that your website will be penalized. Required action: Remove all spam elements from your web pages. Just because your website hasn’t been penalized yet doesn’t mean that search engines won’t find the spam elements in the near future. 5. Search engine algorithm changes Search engines are continually improving their ranking algorithms. While most changes are rather subtle, some ranking algorithm changes can have a major impact on the rankings of your web pages. Required action: Wait for some days to find out if the ranking drop is not just temporarily. Then optimize your web pages so that they reflect the latest search engine algorithms. 6. Technical problems Your web server can be the reason for a ranking drop. If your website is down when the search engine spider tries to access your website then search engines cannot give your web pages high rankings because they don’t know your pages. Some websites display the correct web page in the web browser but the server returns an error code. In that case, search engines won’t index the web pages. Required action: Make sure that your website is hosted on a reliable server that has no downtime. Check the HTTP status code that your website returns. Almost any website owner will see a significant ranking drop sooner or later. Don’t panic if this happens to you. Try to find the reason for the ranking drop and then act accordingly.

 GG Score, not a natural quality. Happy Scarry Halloween …

by David Norden, November 1, 2007 

An insider at Google showed a screen capture used by the commercials working on Google Words. The numbers have been changed. Would be interesting to know how much your site is worth ! When will it be in Google Labs ???

Source Zoorgloob

I guess the GG is the virtual value Google puts on the sites but it is not sure, ADV yes/no is probably just telling if the site seems suited for ads, Vertical the possible Ad categories (a bit like in DMOZ ) and PVs some traffic indication.

According to Matt Cutts  it is just a tool to find new prospective clients and give them a priority rank.  Let’s hope so, …. Big brother is watching your wallet  …

The fact is Google is the biggest advertising business on earth at this moment and they feed information to potential clients that’s deliberately misleading to stop people from gaining an unfair advantage with their search rankings, so that the commercials at Google can give “better advice”.

It now appears that, in fact, Google assigns an estimated worth to each ranking on their pages (much better than to know your PR 0 to 10) - visible to members of their AdWords sales team they use the information from your PPC campaigns and analytics package in order to figure out whether you’re worth it, for every page in your site.

We should better try to gain advantage by understanding how search engines are working.

Discover the most popular keywords with Wordtracker

Wordtracker Customers Get More Visits to their Websites… Find Out How!

This is a tool I use every week. Why ? Because it allows me to discover keywords that are not saturated. It is very easy to use, and the trial version is free. Just give them your email t get a login link (they never spammed me), and give them one or two words to research, and they will show you more in a second column. You tick the one you like, and once you have selected 30 keywords or keywords phrases, the wordtracker system will rank them by counting how many people looked for that keyword, and how many websites are competing. All words with a “KEI” ranking higher than 400 are winners, and you’ll have god chances to end in the first 10 results if your site and content are a little bit good.

It is much better than Overture because it also shows you the depth of the competition. Why have a keywords with 10,000 searches if you will be lost between 200,000 other sites. It is better to have a “long tail keyword string” with 47 searches every day.

 Also this tool helps you to find keywords for Google Adwords, or to find keywords to use as title for your pages, and related keywords to the subjects you are working one.

And if you enjoy the trial give them a paid chance to open the door of even more powerfull tools to create your keyword lists. Read more at  Wordtracker

Nearly one-third of customer relationship management (CRM) software deployments end in failure, according to new research from AMR Research.

The bottom line is that sales representatives and, to a lesser extent, marketing professionals, just aren’t using the technology, and that non-adoption is leading to failure.

You need to have enough value in the system for end users to make it irresistible for them to use it.

“I do think we can point to the sales organisation that’s probably facing the most challenges with adoption,” said AMR senior research analyst Robert Bois. “The same could probably be said for marketing as well.

The research firm recently surveyed 190 IT and line-of-business executives and found that 29% of CRM projects fail. That’s slightly better than the 31% failure rate AMR Research uncovered in 2006, but it’s much worse than the 18% rate discovered in 2005.

Last June Forrester Research reported that less than 50% of the 94 business and IT executives it surveyed were fully satisfied with their CRM deployments. When Forrester asked those executives to list their best practices for improving their CRM implementation, 66% said promoting user adoption was a top priority.

Bois said sales and marketing professionals reject CRM mainly because it’s just not easy to use.

“That’s all relative,” Bois said. “What you and I might think of as a fairly simple user interface might not seem as simple to a salesperson who spends as much time as possible on the phone with customers and doesn’t have time to be fooling around with a piece of software.”

Bois said sales representatives also reject CRM because it just doesn’t offer any value to them. CRM and sales force automation systems will ask sales representatives to enter a lot of data, but the technology doesn’t always help them do their jobs better. Instead, much of the data they enter into these systems offers value to only managers who are trying to track and forecast sales activity.

“CRM and sales force automation as discrete software categories were initially designed to appeal to sales management, not the sales user,” Bois said.

The root of the problem

Jim Prevo, CIO of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters said poor user adoption is a symptom of a problem, not the root cause of CRM failure.

“You need to have enough value in the system for end users to make it irresistible for them to use it,” Prevo said. “If you put in a system that is primarily about monitoring their behaviour rather than putting in a tool that is about maximising their behaviour, they are not going to see those tools as absolutely essential. Once you do that, you’ll get adoption. And adoption is critical.”

Prevo said his company has adopted CRM technology from PeopleSoft. When he was preparing to roll it out, he made sure the company’s sales organisation was a part of the process.

“We pulled the salespeople into the room with someone from PeopleSoft and made sure it was a business process intervention and not a technology startup,” Prevo said. “Sales forces don’t think of business process. It was very helpful to have someone who really understood the tool in the room.

Another CIO, who asked for anonymity, said his company’s first attempt at using CRM technology was a failure. He said he adopted sales force automation technology from Salesforce.com, using features such as account and contact management, opportunity tracking and Web reporting.

“Our CRM implementation has been rocky and, in my opinion, is still not where it needs to be to justify the expense we’ve put into it,” he said.

Senior managers thought they could bypass key managers who weren’t supportive of the initiative and simply float the technology out there without getting hard-nosed about compliance.

“The results were, at best, uneven,” he said. “Most importantly, one of the people bypassed was the vice president of sales. This was a key strategic error. Managers and reps could tell that their leader was not on board, and thus figured that compliance was optional.”

His organisation also failed to consider the realities of his company’s salespeople, leaving them with a program that didn’t fit their needs.

While his first try at CRM failed, his CEO was still supportive of the project. With that backing, he took a new approach.

“The vice president of sales became the sponsor and advocate for the system,” he said. “We had to overcome a lot of false perceptions and hurt feelings to get him there. But now he’s a believer. We re-launched the product, addressing key complaints the field had about the system, including new equipment and increased training. And the message was sent, loud and clear, that this is a required part of doing business. If you don’t like it, you might need to consider employment elsewhere.”

Things have improved with the company’s second go-round, but he has yet to get 100% compliance from his sales force.

Sales metrics

Bois said the CRM market is reacting to this problem by shifting its approach to offer more value to the end user.

“The most common thing you’ll see is they’re starting to put performance metrics in so the salesperson knows how they’re performing against their quota. ‘If I’m gong to close this deal in the next 30 days, what would that mean for my quota?’ Ultimately, it is giving them better visibility into their ability to meet their quota.”

Bois said some vendors are also offering applications such as proposal management for more complex sales cycles. These technologies use a wizard-like interface to ask basic information about sales prospects. Then, in conjunction with marketing, the application creates an automated custom proposal to help them attract the prospect.

Bois said CIOs need to get sales executives more involved in the procurement of CRM technology. And CIOs should resist just accepting the latest CRM offering from their ERP vendors. Instead, they should try a third party for this technology. In fact, they should consider letting the sales executive take the lead. This isn’t such a hard thing to do with the emergence of Software as a Service vendors such as Salesforce.com. The sales executive knows his staff better than the CIO does. The CIO can take on a more consultative role to make sure the implementation and any necessary system and data integration go smoothly.

Counting More Than Clicks

As online advertising matures, so does the job of measuring results

By EMILY STEEL October 22, 2007; found at online.wsj.com

When marketers first started advertising on the Internet about a dozen years ago, the Web was heralded as the Holy Grail of efficient marketing.

Unlike television commercials or print ads, where marketers never could be sure exactly how many people saw their message, the Web seemed easy: If someone clicked on the ad, then it worked.

But it’s not that simple anymore. Over the past year, with big advertisers shifting larger portions of their budgets to the Web and using a wider variety of online tools to promote their messages — such as search-related advertising, video ads and marketing through social-networking sites — many have realized that simply measuring clicks isn’t good enough.

Advertisers increasingly want more-detailed feedback on the effectiveness of their online marketing efforts, both to justify their increased spending on the Web and to help guide their future allocations across all available media.

They want to know not only what ads consumers click on but also how those clicks translate into purchases. They are more focused on understanding how their mix of online marketing works together and how it fits into their broader marketing campaigns. They want to find out how online advertising is affecting the image of their brands, and how to target ads to specific audiences.

In response, advertising agencies are turning to companies that use advanced analytic tools to make sense of a flood of data. And in many cases these tools are being combined with old-fashioned devices like surveys and focus groups to give advertisers a clearer picture of what’s working and what isn’t — and why.

“It is more or less an evolution of metrics and measurement that has been happening,” says Jason Bigler, vice president of advertiser solutions at Internet advertising firm DoubleClick Inc.

Focus on Results

Part of that evolution is an effort to analyze the wealth of data that are available more efficiently and effectively. When a company buys an online ad campaign, it may work with several partners besides the agency that created the campaign, including Web sites where the company places ads directly and a variety of ad brokers. Each of these partners collects data — including, for instance, how many people are choosing to view a video that runs with an ad, or, in the case of a broker, which Web sites are generating the most clicks — and delivers that information to the marketer and the ad agency.

Until recently, the agency would have to collect all these data and cobble them together to help the marketer understand what they mean. With information often coming in from dozens of sources, this is a laborious and time-consuming process, and one that discourages the kind of extensive analysis that can take full advantage of the available data. But now, several companies are using new software that gives computers, rather than people, the job of gathering and analyzing the data. That promises to get the job done faster and more thoroughly.

Omniture Inc., of Orem, Utah, is one such company. CEO Josh James says one of the advantages of the analyses his company performs is that they go beyond how well an advertising campaign is reaching consumers, showing as well what each element of the campaign is contributing to sales. “Nobody really cares about clicks,” says Mr. James. “What you really care about at the end of the day is how many people purchased.”

Digital marketing firm Organic, a unit of advertising giant Omnicom Group Inc., works with Omniture to understand how ads for clients perform. Using data from Omniture, Organic is able to learn, among other things, which sites customers visit before landing on an advertiser’s site. “What it allows us to do is not only see the most successful [ads] that users are coming from but also the most successful places where users are coming from as well,” says Rick Corteville, executive director of media for Organic.

Omniture also helps Organic see how much time each visitor spent on a client’s site, the average length of session per user, the number of pages visited, the number of elements downloaded and what makes people leave a Web page.

All of this allows Organic to make continual adjustments to its advertising campaigns and its clients’ Web sites. “It is such a living thing,” says Mr. Corteville.

Omniture is also starting to offer technology that automatically changes a marketer’s advertising mix based on the computer analysis of the data.

The Big Picture

Companies also are looking to better understand how their digital campaigns and their offline marketing initiatives complement each other. This not only helps ensure that their ad spending is properly distributed, it also puts companies in a better position to adjust their campaigns in reaction to changes in consumer habits, broader economic trends or business objectives.

For this kind of big-picture analysis, companies like MediaBank LLC combine online-data crunching with more-traditional methods of directly surveying consumers’ reactions and attitudes. For example, MediaBank will talk to consumers to see how perceptions of a brand or a product differ among those who have seen a certain ad and those who haven’t.

E-Storm International Inc., a privately held interactive marketing firm based in San Francisco, uses analytics from MediaBank to help figure out the best marketing plans for a number of its clients. In the past, e-Storm would look at multiple sources of data to understand how its clients’ online ads were performing. But that data didn’t include any information on how traditional offline marketing was influencing purchasing decisions. The data e-Storm now receives from MediaBank give it insight into the effect of all of a client’s advertising techniques, including, for instance, billboards, coupons received in the mail, print ads, search-related advertising and a banner ad that appears on multiple Web sites.

“I’ve been starving for this kind of tool,” says William Gaultier, e-Storm’s CEO. “As marketers, we’ve been flying blind for a long time.”

Such broad analysis has the potential to shift advertisers’ spending patterns by clarifying the value of various elements of a marketing campaign. For instance, historically, if someone clicked on an ad online and then bought the product, that ad received all of the credit for generating the sale. But marketers are starting to find that there is a multiplier effect: When people are exposed to more advertising both online and off, they are more likely to purchase a product. That leaves marketers trying to figure out how much they should spend on pieces of their ad campaigns that don’t immediately lead to a sale.

Jon Raj, vice president of advertising and emerging media at Visa Inc., emphasizes the importance of knowing whether his company’s online marketing is communicating to consumers the attributes that Visa wants associated with its credit cards — for instance, that they are secure for use on the Internet. “If we don’t get the message across” on those brand attributes, he says, “then we’ve failed.”

A Sense of Urgency

There are other challenges still to be tackled. For one thing, with so many different sets of data coming from different companies, marketers are looking for more standardization. For instance, the figures for unique visitors to a Web site tracked by comScore Inc.’s Media Metrix unit rarely align exactly with numbers from Nielsen Co.’s Nielsen/NetRatings service, and often these numbers differ from a company’s own internal data. In addition, as new advertising opportunities emerge in fields like mobile phones and gaming sites, companies will be looking for even more information to track their ad campaigns.

For some digital-marketing executives who remember the fallout after the burst of the dot-com bubble in the late ’90s, the effort to measure the effectiveness of online advertising has some urgency.

“My concern is that we are going to experience a kick if we don’t figure out these measurement questions,” says Organic’s Mr. Corteville, suggesting that the growth of online ad spending could be slowed. “We don’t want to take steps backward from all that hard work.”

Reciprocal Links Exchange Are (Still) Not Dead

found at isedb 

Reciprocal links are not dead. Weren’t dead before. Aren’t dead now. I know it and you know it. But for just a second let’s pretend otherwise.

reciprocallinksarenotdead A while back there was quite a bit of scare mongering going around the SEO industry about how reciprocal links were dead. I had a potential client once tell me that so-and-so-big-name-in-the-SEO-industry told them that reciprocal links were dead. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it here again. There is nothing wrong with reciprocal links. It’s all about how you use/implement them that matters. No, reciprocal links are not dead and now I have the proof.

Last year I decided to run my own test so I could refute what I already knew to be true. Yeah, I know who cares about reciprocal links now, right? The fear tactics have run their course and, frankly, nobody is engaged in old-school mass reciprocal link swapping (for the love of God people, if you’re still doing that, knock it off!) But for the sake of science and posterity, I now, over a year later, present the results of my (almost forgotten) reciprocal link test.

The Set-Up

On one of my sites I created a master testing page. From this page I linked to eight new pages created specifically for this test. Each of those pages contained a few paragraphs of content with the word “reciprocallinksarenotdead” linked to an external web site. The goal was to watch the search results to see what sites appeared in the SERPs for our test term.

For the sake of creating a good testing ground, we linked to four sites that linked back and four sites that didn’t. From here we split things up even further by linking to two sites in each group to that we considered to be “high authority” for their industry, and two that we considered to be “lower authority” for their industry. We then split this again using one to link using the target site’s keyword in the link and the other not. Got all that? No? OK, let me put it to you this way (the links below take you to the test pages):

Links to reciprocal linking sites

• Link to a low authority site using keyword
• Link to a low authority site
• Link to a high authority site using keyword
• Link to a high authority site

Link to non-reciprocal linking sites

• Link to a low authority site using keyword
• Link to a low authority site
• Link to a high authority site using keyword
• Link to a high authority site

The Sting

I started out checking up on this daily seeing if Google, Yahoo or MSN cached the pages linking out and then watching if/when they showed up in the SERPs. The result was quite a roller coaster ride. One day the test pages would be cached and the next day the cache date was from several days prior. This happened frequently. The same thing with the SERPs. One day

all the test pages would show up and the next day gone and then the next day just some of the test pages showed up and the next others, but not necessarily the ones from the previous day. It was interesting to watch.After about several weeks of daily monitoring I started to cut back to every few days, then weekly then, well I kind of forgot about it with the occasional thought “Hey, I wonder how that test is going”, in which I’d take a quick look and forget all about it again. Here we are now, over a year later and I think I can confidently display the results as definitive.

The Results

Note: These were the results as of Friday, July 12, 2007, I notice that there has been some shifting in results since then, so your mileage may vary.

Google results

• Low authority, non reciprocating site
• Low authority, non reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• Low authority, reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• High authority, reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• Test page linking to #9 below
  
• Test page linking to #2 above
• Low authority, reciprocating site
  
• High authority, reciprocating site
  
• High authority, non-reciprocating site (keyword in link)

Google supplemental results show the remainder of the testing pages. Missing from SERPs: High authority, non-reciprocating site

Yahoo Results

• Low authority, reciprocating site
• High authority, non-reciprocating site
• High authority, reciprocating site
• Test page linking to #8 below
• Test page linking to #2 above
• Low authority, reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• Low authority, non-reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• High authority, reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• Link to a blog post that uses keyword as part of the URL

Missing from SERPs:

• Low authority, reciprocating site
• High authority, non-reciprocating site (keyword in link)

MSN Results

• High authority, reciprocating site
• Test page linking to #10 below
• Test page linking to #1 above
• Low authority, reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• Low authority, non reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• Low authority, non reciprocating site
• High authority, reciprocating site (keyword in link)
• High authority, non-reciprocating site
• High authority, non-reciprocating site
• Low authority, reciprocating site

The Happy Ending

We can conclude from that that, all things being equal, reciprocating links have no more or less value than one-way links. Yeah, I know, we all read Matt Cutt’s post about how excessive reciprocal linking can hurt, and I’m sure Matt is right. But the key word there is “excessive”. If all you do is look for low-quality reciprocal links that ad no value to any user’s experience then, yes, that can, and should do you some harm. But don’t be afraid of reciprocation. If someone links to you out of kindness, feel free to link back to them out of gratitude. It’s not going to hurt you one bit and the link to you won’t be devalued. Just be sure you’re adding value, not reciprocating for the sake of reciprocating.

So what do you think? Is this test conclusive or an exercise in futility?

Comment #1 (Posted by Gabriel Goldenberg)

I’ve seen them work myself, and agree with the test. What’s interesting is that each engine put a low authority site on top. And per the first 5, Yahoo’s results were best (high authority and test page). But there’s another point for reciprocals: networking. My blogroll is a source of great links in the future too . Last point: I still get [spam] emails, from one site in particular, asking for reciprocals. Irrelevant niche, and just doing it for SEO. They’re so dumb, I actually pity them. (I don’t normally insult people in public fora, but they spammed me, so I’ll relax my rules momentarily…)

Online Marketing and SEO- The New Scam?

By Alicia Moura Inside found at Tucson Business, on Friday, October 05, 2007

Let’s face it, it’s quickly becoming unheard of for a business to operate without at least some measure of a website. Whether it’s a basic landing site with a few pages and contact information or a massive e-commerce operation, the fact remains that businesses of all sizes ? even in Tucson ? have come to realize you’ve got to be online.

Many businesses are now looking beyond the initial Web development stage. They want to know how to market their site and use it as a fundamental part of their business to attract clients and actually make some money.

This is where online marketing and search engine optimization come in. Search engines are one of the primary vehicles for Internet users to find businesses, products or services on the worldwide web. It is estimated that 90 percent of Internet users who approach search engines with specific queries find what they are looking for, meaning, they end up buying a product, reading articles, gathering resources, making business contacts and a host of other applications the Internet can provide for recreation purposes and business solutions.

As a marketing tool, with online marketing you are looking at a much clearer picture about the type of return on investment you can get. It is important to understand that with internet marketing, it is possible to determine what people are searching for in relation to your products and services, and how many searches are made for those and similar products and services in the local Tucson and wider national market. Unlike traditional advertising, where the best you are going to get beforehand is a demographic overview of how many and what type of readers, listeners or viewers a particular medium has, with search engine optimization (SEO), you can see exactly how many people are actively searching each month for terms that relate to your business. This makes it a much more concrete choice on whether or not SEO is worth your investment before you even begin.

It is important to keep in mind that an optimized website is just that: optimized, as in past tense. While having a top SEO ranking in Tucson may be less competitive than other markets, SEO is not something that you do once. This would be the equivalent of running a one-time ad in a newspaper and expecting to see your sales skyrocket.

Unfortunately, while SEO can be a great tool with a lot of clear advantages for your business, it can also mean a world of trouble, frustration and a lot of wasted money.

Search Engine Optimization in Tucson is still a relatively new frontier ? smaller businesses haven’t heard of it, local advertising agencies don’t generally do it and the vast majority of web developers only think they do. And as with any new frontier, you’ve got a fair number of outlaws out there waiting to sucker you into wasting your money.

The challenge is finding the right SEO firm to represent you, and it is a real challenge.

“For Tucson businesses interested in SEO, their options are usually going with someone who doesn’t know what they are doing and are very affordable, or going with someone who does and who is not affordable,” said Jeff Nordensson, of the Nordensson Group advertising and marketing firm.

His statement neatly sums up the challenge of finding quality SEO services. Generally, business owners find they are paying a Web developer who says he or she can do SEO. But what they are really getting is the bare minimum, and in some cases bad SEO practices for their website. Either that or they are forced to go outside Tucson ? and sometimes even outside Arizona.

Yes, paying a lot or money for SEO that works and greatly increases your revenue is great. But for most local businesses an SEO campaign costing $40,000 to $80,000 just isn’t an option.

FAQs for

choosing an SEO firm

Generally speaking, quality SEO that yields measurable results is going to take expertise, ongoing training into the current trends and methods, a dedicated team…and hard work. So, it’s a pretty safe bet that any company offering SEO services for, let’s say a few hundred dollars, is probably giving you the runaround ? either knowingly or because they are misguided in their ideas of what SEO really is. Additionally, SEO is a full-time job, not a side service or afterthought.

Make sure you carefully check out any company you are considering for SEO services. The best way to be sure you are getting what you need is to understand a fair amount of SEO methodology yourself. You don’t need to be a programmer or a marketing professional to ask the right questions.

Here are some questions to ask a potential SEO firm:

?n? Do the SEO firm’s employees have a background in marketing?

?n? Are they affiliated with other reputable companies?

?n? Does the firm have detailed case studies to show you verifiable results that they have gotten for their clients?

?n? Do they use comprehensive, quality web analytics to look into your competition’s websites? Good Web analytics should be more than just a report each month detailing what happened with your site.

?n? How does the SEO determine which keywords to use for your site? Will they continuously refine and update these keywords?

?n? What types of traffic expectations for relevant keywords can you expect? In other words, how many people are searching each month for keywords that relate to your business that you can expect to target?

?n? Is the SEO firm committed to ethical search methods, referred to as “white hat”? If a company uses spamming techniques or questionable methods, it is only a matter of time before your site gets penalized or banned from the search engines altogether.

?n? What strategies is the SEO proposing for your website? Keep in mind that although revising meta tags, writing clean code, and submitting your site are all necessary components to SEO, they are just the bare minimum. A comprehensive SEO strategy will include methods like SEO-specific copywriting, link baiting, blogging, and even redesigning your navigation (internal and external) to make it more search engine and visitor friendly.

?n? How much of their online marketing strategy relies on pay-per-click advertising? While pay-per-click is a great short-term way to generate traffic, when you stop paying, the clicks stop coming. For ongoing, long-term search engine visibility, earning natural search engine rankings is a better way to go.

?n? Is the SEO firm offering guaranteed rankings? If so, as Eric Van Meter, creative director of Web and e-media at Tucson-based Nextrio advises, “Run the other way, and quickly!”

?n? How will the SEO firm monitor your traffic and ranking results? What types of reports will you receive and how often will you receive them?

SEO expectations

Many people make the mistake of thinking that with SEO everything can be done fast, cheap and with high quality. Although a very understandable sentiment, this is undoubtedly not the reality. You can certainly get fast and cheap, or fast and high quality, but expecting all three is really going to leave you disappointed.

Let’s look at an example. Let’s say you are a real estate agent running a decently designed site. You are doing well with your other advertising, but decide that you could be doing something that will generate clients online. So you hire a SEO expert or firm. Assuming you have found a good one, what can you expect?

Most likely, you can expect the firm to optimize your on-page SEO, improve usability and navigability to increase traffic and conversions, create optimized content to get more visitors and increase links, and perform continuous analytics to begin fine-tuning the keywords and responding to competition.

While the first two can be done in a couple of weeks, or a month, depending on the SEO, creating content and generating quality links as well as refining keywords and fending off competition can be done indefinitely. You should certainly notice significant results after 2-3 months but really studying web analytics and tweaking the site for serious ROI can be six months ahead.

However, if you consider what a good SEO can do (a 150 percent increase or more), then the consideration of time, effort and investment should be balanced with that type of ROI potential.

Here are 10 tips for a SEO client to keep in mind:

1. Learn the basics of SEO to help you make an informed decision on a good SEO firm

2. Have reasonable expectations on what SEO can do

3. Be patient with your results: SEO isn’t magic and it takes time

4. Consider SEO as a partner to bring success to your online business

5. SEO isn’t everything

6. SEO is a balance

7. Be prepared to pay for quality work. You will get what you pay for.

8. Do not change what your SEO has done to your website.

9. If you want to redesign, consult an expert to keep your website SEO friendly

10. SEO isn’t a one-time effort

OK that is the usual pitch to sell the Black Mask project. And one who is written by someone who did not try the product.

If you want to read a REAL review, you might have another idea about the real content of the Black Mask, and come to the conclusion you will have to spend a lot of money to just create hundred of websites (you’ll also have to pay for hundred of domain names at 8$88 and they will be filled with CRAP, also these sites will be ejected from the system after a few months and maybe your account will be closed by Google so you should decide on what side you must be, and also the risks you will have to take:

Seems Google is not making everyone happy, the results are not always relevant, and the way to promote the site in the results is mainly based on the internal and external linking structure, more than on the relevancy of the content and it takes quite a long time to see your sites indexed.

A few new search engines are trying to solve things in a different way:

Tall Street is doing it in pure web 2:0 way, and gives the power to the little man, and You are now able to trade on our Web Directory like a stock market. You will be able to add your votes, and also play it like a game earning fictious money if you discover sites that are also enjoyed by others. Read more about Tall Street Social Search , if many people adopt it it will show to be usefull .

Then you have My Live Search

WebProNews called the service “revolutionary” and as a search startup that “Google is keeping a close eye on” (with no supporting evidence whatsoever). It works with a plugin to install on your computer who does the scanning work live . Approach to search is unique in that all the work is placed on the user’s computer, but it works a little bit slower. Users can select to get Google or Yahoo or MSN (or whatever they like) data for the top ten results, and then see real time stuff spidered from there.

It is a cluttered layout, and things seem quite complicated, but it certainly delivers some interesting results, and you can also request to put more or less News in the results, and adapt the Search Engine to your specific needs, but I don’t think this one will be a Google killer even if it is still in Beta phase. With the necessary tweaks it could grow and become usefull but I don’t believe it will attrack massive traffic.

Did you know that the search engines are driven by Latent Semantic Indexing. That these words are about how you organise your website ?  And that the PR of your site doesn’t determine the position you attain in the sear engine results.
