Google Fight Against Internet Marketers, Link Building And Blog Networks!

Franck — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:30:37 +0000

It’s crazy, so many things happened in the search engine optimization world since the last Google Panda Update.

It’s not a secret that Google is fighting “low quality” backlinks, but I know that many of you are new to Internet business and seo. At this point, you might be wondering how in the world you are going to drive traffic to your affiliate blog, or your own website? This is a legitimate question.

There are hundreds of seo articles, blog posts and forum threads available, however, if you are a newbie, there is now way you can understand what they are talking about. If you are confused and don’t know what to do, don’t worry because…

This post will end up your confusion.

So here is the scoop.

What is happening with Google?

The answer is simple: Google only want quality sites in their index. But what is Google index you ask?

Google index: Google is an search engine (i.e. a machine), and what this machine does is scouring the web to find websites. The first thing that this machine will do is: adding sites in their index.

Let me give you an example: you create your brand new website (let’s say that your niche is the forex market), and you get a domain name (let’s say: mycoolforexsite.com). Then, you buy your web hosting, and you add your domain under your hosting account. So you are in business! This is great, BUT…you are not in Google index yet. In other words, Google doesn’t know that your site exists, and when someone type: “I want to trade forex” in the Google search bar, your site will never be on Google first page (not even on page 10 or page 100)!

Why?

Because your site is not in Google index yet!

So how to get your site in Google index you ask?

You need to add a link pointing to your site on an other website (this site needs to be in Google index, like squidoo.com). Now, the magic will happen, and when Google visit this site (squidoo.com) and find your link, Google will add your site to its index.

And what will happen from there? Now, when someone type “I want to learn forex” in Google, your site will appear on one of Google’s page! wow, congratulations…however, it will not appear on the first page yet…(more on how to do this later)

Now, the thousand dollar question…

How to get on Google first page?

This is one of my numerous traffic strategies, and I will give you some pointers, and mistakes to avoid if you want to rank on Google first page and most importantly…stay on Google first page for your chosen (profitable) keywords.

But before I tell you how to do this, I’ll tell you what you should absolutely avoid if you want to

1. Don’t buy/get in/subscribe to link building schemes

This is a biggie. Several big blog networks have seen a lot (if not all) of their blog deindexed from Google index.

What does this mean? And what are blog networks?

First, how blog networks work…

A while back, savvy webmasters noticed that the more backlinks (a link pointing back to your site), you can get, the better your rankings. A couple of them took action and said: “Hey! What I buy 100 different domain names, build 100 different blogs on these domains, and allow other webmasters (i.e. me and you, etc) to post links to their websites on my 100 sites? If I sell 1000 subscriptions at $47/mth, I’ll make $47,000.00 per month!!!”

And this is EXACTLY what they did. They bought the domains, build the blogs and sold the subscriptions and made way more than $47K.

The blog network owner was (very, very) happy, the webmasters were happy (because they’d get top rankings for their sites as a result of getting in the blog network), BUT Google wasn’t happy (as always…and I really wonder if they’ll be happy anytime soon?)

Why Google wasn’t happy you ask?

Because Google don’t want webmasters like you to game the system (although THEY teach you how to do that in the first place…). They only want Quality sites in their index, and high quality sites on their first page.

Why Google love high quality websites?

This is the Billion dollar question…Simply because they hate Yahoo, Bing, and every other search engines…They want people to advertise on Google Adwords (they earn a LOT of money with sponsored ads), and if they have “crappy” sites in their organic results, people (you, me and millions of others) will go somewhere else to find what they are searching for (think facebook, twitter, pinterest…bing?).

Got it? Great…

Continue…

The second blunder

Now, the second thing you want to avoid at all cost is getting advice from people who don’t even know how to rank their sites in the search engines.

In fact, when you seek seo or traffic advice, make sure to ask someone who knows what he is talking about. This is really important because this can get your website deindexed, sandboxed, or banned from Google.

Now, what you need to do to get top rankings in Google?

If you type these (profitable) keywords in Google:

Learn affiliate marketing
affiliate marketing course
affiliate marketing experts
affiloblueprint review
Internet Business Coaching (you will find my blog – the one you are reading right now)
and to many to add here….

You will find my site (http://www.mynetmarketingland.com) on the first page of Google organic results, sometimes at the first position.

Until now, I’ve been using “old fashioned” traditional web 1.0 link building techniques. But I am going to use more sophisticated new web 2.0 technique from now on…

Here is what I suggest you (and me too) to do to get top rankings, subscribers and sales:

1. Write good and original content in your niche on a weekly basis.

The more you write, the better. WordPress blogs have an advantage here, since it’s super easy to add content.

2. Focus on high quality content

I’m not saying that you need to write the best content on the web for your niche…I mean provide the best content to your readers and followers.

3. Jump into the web 2.0 boat

I mean that you need to get involved in twitter, Google +, facebook, pinterest, facebook, and a few forums in your niche. All these sites will not only help you with Google rankings, but they will also drive social traffic to your website. Really, really important today, so don’t neglect this part.

4. Get involved in other blogs in your niche

Write blog posts for them (guest posts), and comment on the high traffic blogs in your niche

5. Continue with the “old fashioned” seo techniques

I mean continue to get quality backlinks to your website from guest blogging, press releases, etc… plus the social media technique above.

But…

Make sure to vary your anchor texts…I mean that you don’t want to have the same keywords in all your anchor text. Sometimes, you will just have: Click Here, or the actual URL as your anchor text.

And this one is HUGE…

6. Focus on one big authority site and make people stick (and come back) to your site

You want to make sure that your site has a lot of pages, and most importantly that people stay on your site (more than 2 seconds…).

Here is a super tip for that: make sure you build a list of subscribers, and send your latest posts or articles to your subscribers.

Another tip is to create a membership with a lot of free content (I’m not talking about a full blow membership site, but just one page that you update weekly for your subscribers for example).

In a nutshell…to get better search engine rankings and more traffic, create great content, get a lot of high quality backlinks, and don’t subscribe to any link building schemes. Also, don’t forget to get involved in facebook, Google+, youtube and other high traffic web 2.0 websites.

Discover How I Get Unstoppable Free Targeted Traffic To My Blog

Peter — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:27:59 +0000

Generating targeted traffic to your blog is really not that difficult if you take the trouble to learn how to effectively do this. However if you want to see any measure of success, you must be prepared to commit your time and effort to learn and master simple, yet proven techniques of traffic generation.

Here are a few simple techniques that you can immediately start with:

1. Update your blog regularly

Ask yourself if you preferred to visit a blog that has been regularly updated with interesting and useful contents or are you happy to visit one that looks like an abandoned blog. Well of course you would choose the former. Frequent updates on your blog helps to build a relationship with your readers who will come back for more knowing that there will be fresh content being added.

2. Tag your Posts

Tags that you add on your blog posts work quite like any other links and they are quickly found by the search engines. They also help more people find your blog when they perform searches in many of the popular blog search engines that matched any of your tags. In other words if used correctly they can help to bring more traffic to your blog whenever you post new contents.

3. Search Engine Optimization

Many new bloggers can get quite overwhelmed by the work involved in Search Engine Optimization. While we agree some of the work takes a fair amount of time like learning and following a link building strategy that works for their business, there are also a few things that can be easily done. For example, you could learn how to optimize your web pages or blog posts so that the major search engines can find them easily. Write relatively long articles and focus more on writing theme content using LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords. This is an excellent way to get more targeted traffic due to the many long tail keywords Google finds in your content.

Beat the Problem Why 95% Internet Marketers Failed Their Online Business

Peter — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 10:44:03 +0000

It does not matter if you are an affiliate marketing expert earning big bucks or a new Internet Marketer struggling with too much information, too little time. There are 5 very important principles of Internet marketing that you should be aware of to keep yourself in the right path to success.

There are many online marketers who ignored these principles and paid dearly for that by quitting their business early, adding to the statistics of about 95 percent failure rate for new startup online business. It would be ashamed if you were to let this happen to you too especially if you have spent so much time and effort on your new found business. This article will help you understand just what it takes to achieve success and know what kind of obstacles you have to overcome before getting there.

The First Principle: Patience

It’s probably not your best virtue but for the success of your business, you do need lots of patience. Finding success and generating a regular online income do not happen overnight. Building a business from scratch takes time just as in any other businesses too including the traditional ones. Knowing this helps in your mental strength and learning process as you won’t lose interest at the slightest onset of disappointments and setbacks in your Internet Marketing journey. The road to success is never a smooth one.

The Second and Third Principles: Persistence and Perseverance

Many marketers lose heart at the slightest kind of difficulty. They complain about all the laborious tasks they need to do and when they don’t see any positive results, they simply abandon the work they have been taught to do. Many of these marketers started an online business with the wrong mindset that it is easy and making money is a forgone conclusion. If you have such thinking, you have to change your mindset immediately and expect to work really hard before seeing any positive results.

The Fourth Principle: Prepare Your Website For the Search Engines

As an online business owner, you are expected to learn some basic search engine optimization skills. Then apply this knowledge continuously in getting your website well optimized, more relevant, and friendly to both the human visitor and the Google bots. You will learn too that getting free organic traffic is vital to your business because without traffic, there can be no sales. Proper SEO helps you rank high in the search engines so as to maximize your website traffic.

The Fifth Principle: Write Articles

The fifth principle is learning to publish many articles. Writing and publishing articles both for your website as well as external article directories is one of the most effective ways to increase traffic to your website. It also generates lots of one-way incoming backlinks to your website which in turn helps you rank higher in the search engines and thereby giving you even more traffic.

Why Getting To Google’s Page 1 Search Engine Ranking Is Not Good Enough?

Peter — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:45:11 +0000

If you have an online business and own at least a website to conduct your business, you would want to rank many of your website’s keywords in Google’s page one of its SERP or Search Engine Results Page. But is this good enough?

Well quite frankly, it’s not good enough to be just on page 1, unless you are in the top 3 positions in Google. Let’s just look at some important search engine statistics to determine some startling discovery. These statistics show that 90 percent of searchers don’t go beyond the first page, with 42 percent searchers click on position 1, 12.5 percent on position 2 and a mere 8 percent click on position 2. So if you do the math right if your website does not rank on the first 3 positions in Google, you are losing website traffic, yeah more than 60 percent to be exact.

Well if your website is not highly ranked in Google there are many things you can do to boost your rankings, although it does take some time to make this happen.

Title Tag

Putting your keyword in the title tag of your home page is an important factor in helping you rank higher in the search engines. Occasionally I do see many websites who prefer to use their company name in the title tag but hopefully they know what they are doing. As far as I know there are 2 ways why people do this. Either they are more concerned about promoting their brand name or company name so that takes priority over ranking high on their main keywords or they simply made a mistake.

URL

Many SEO experts and other marketers who own hundreds of domains are convinced that having your keyword in the domain helps to boost your ranking for that particular keyword. This is even more evident in people who know how to find a profitable niche . They do so by targeting smaller niches using the exact keyword phrase as their domain name. You can choose to use your brand name or company name in your domain but you have to remember this makes your job at ranking in the top 3 positions much harder.

Age of Domain

Does domain age carry more weight in helping a website to rank higher in Google and other search engines? This has been debated for many years by many marketers who will swear by their interesting theories. Well don’t bet on Google to bare it all here but from my frequent visits to forums there seems to be more people convinced domain age matters. Their strongest arguments: Well- established websites have very old domains, so reverse engineering suggests having an older domain helps to make a well established site and Google loves that. Another argument is that the all familiar Google Sandbox affects new websites more than the older ones. In fact most marketers give it 6 months before you are free of getting the dreaded Sandbox.

Build Backlinks to Make Money Online

Alan — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 19:33:06 +0000

One of the most important aspects when it comes to making money online is building backlinks to your affiliate website. Backlinks are the lifeblood that control how people find your website. However, not just any good ‘ole backlinks will do. You want to build one-way backlinks to your site.

Here is how backlinks relate to making money online. Search engines, like Google, pride themselves on providing relevant search results for users. Users use search engines to search for topics that they want to know more about. These topics that are entered into the search engines are called keywords or keyword phrases.

When building backlinks, you want to use specific keywords that you want your website to rank for as the hyperlinked text of the link. Keywords or words used in this manner are called anchor text. The key to make money online is to build as many links as possible with your keywords as the anchor text. The more links you have, the higher your website will rank in search engines for those given keywords.

If you do your keyword research correctly, once your affiliate website is ranking well for the keywords you want, you’ll start to receive targeted traffic and eventually bring in affiliate sales.

You may be wondering how you can build these one-way backlinks to make money online. Here are some of the more common methods:

Article Marketing – Link to your site within Bio box
Web 2.0 Marketing (similar to article marketing)
Forum Posting – Link to your site in your signature
Blog Commenting – Link to your site using the form provided on each blog
Social Bookmarking – Bookmark blog posts to social sites
Profile Links – Build high Page Rank backlinks
And many more – Get creative!

Building links to your site should be a long-term and consistent process that never stops. Go for quality backlinks more so than quantity. The better quality links you can get, the better. Keep doing this, and you’ll be well on your way to making money online with your affiliate marketing website.

Start Getting One-Way Incoming Links To Your Internet Business

Peter — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:12:24 +0000

If you were a relatively experienced Internet Marketer, you would know the importance of Link Building specifically getting one-way incoming links to your Internet Business. It’s not rocket science and you don’t need any Internet Business Coaching or any Affiliate Marketing Experts to tell you too. Everybody knows Google and other search engines like to see websites grow their backlinks naturally as opposed to artificial means like asking another webmaster to link back to you much like reciprocal link exchanges.

Why is One Way Link Better?

Most search engines consider a website who receives a one-way link as a vote of confidence from the other website and for Google, is almost certainly used in their algorithm for search engine ranking calculations.

How do you get One Way Incoming Links

For your website to follow a natural link structure you do not have to ask anyone to link to you much like a quality website like Wikipedia in which many people would have no second thoughts about linking to it. Under what circumstances would one-way Incoming Links take place for you and when would online marketers be willing to link to other websites? Well this is my favorite method: Guest Posting.

Guest Posting

It’s an open secret that obtaining backlinks from authority sites to your website can give a tremendous boost to your search engine ranking, which then translates to more traffic and sales. The benefit of guest posting on such a website far exceeds the one to two hours of work you take to write your post.

You may not realize the full potential of the power of guest posting especially if it is on a well-established A-list blogger, until your blog post gets published. The one-way link that the blog owner gives the guest poster is good, but don’t underestimate the full potential that goes beyond this. Just visualize the thousands of Twitter followers who will tweet your post and bookmark it to hundreds of social networking sites and you will know how viral your one-way linking can become. All that you need is just to write a great blog post with a compelling title to make this happen.

While the average blogger may not have too many opportunities to guest post on many A-list bloggers, nevertheless the benefits of guest posting are quite obvious with both bloggers gaining from the mutual arrangement. Besides the one-way links, it is also a terrific traffic generation method in getting many new visitors to your website.

How To Get .edu and .gov Links For Higher Seo Rankings

Franck — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:21:25 +0000

As you probably know, I am an SEO guy, and I drive thousands of people to my website via free traffic generation method and not so good at ppc. You can’t be good at everything…

When it comes to getting high rankings in the search engines for your keywords, one of the most important and powerful things you can do is get highly relevant links to your website from .edu and .gov domains (non relevant links work very well too, I see plenty of sites still ranking in the top 3 for highly competitive keywords).

Getting educational institutions and government domains is a must do because Google, Yahoo, Msn and other search engines trust these links a LOT more than they trust links from any other kind of website.

Getting these links is not an easy task though. Mark Ling has recorded a short video showing you how its done:
