Low Hanging Fruit - an SEO Experiment

Awesome SEO / Productivity Tools

I’ve been listening to several online videos and came across one that was simply amazing at putting out new resources for internet marketers and SEOs. I hope these will help you… remember that these are resources that you can give to your virtual assistants as well.

Blinkx.com

This is a video search engine that actually takes transcriptions from videos and uses those transcriptions to index the keywords that are used in the videos. These can also be used to help you come up with content to embed into your blog for easy content.

FastBlogFinder.com

This site has a program that you can download and use (Windows only I believe). This program will actually go out and find blogs based on your keyword search and generate a list of blogs that have either a dofollow, nofollow and arrange sites by page rank, both overall site pagerank as well as individual page pagerank. This is great for those of you looking to do some blog commenting.

InternetDownloadManager.com

This is a resource that “fools” the download site to believe that it is multiple people so that the file gets split and ultimately downloaded much faster. This is done automatically and works very well. I don’t own this one yet, but obviously for those of us downloading quite a bit, this is a great resource.

Copernic.com

Document summarizer that will take an article or some ebook and will summarize this into a finished product that is a percentage of the original based on the settings you give it. This may be an excellent way to get a longer article summarized for a blog post. Great way to create content as well.

Mindmeister.com

This is an online software utility that allows you to collaborate on mind maps. This can be used in real time. Combine using this while on skype for free collaboration with both you talking to the other person and putting information on the mind map. Free & Premium versions available.

TubeMogul.com

This tool allows you to upload your video to one place and it will then share that video with multiple sites. This is a free service that will distribute your video to about 12 sites (at the time of this writing). So, instead of manually submitting your site to multiple sites, just do it once and leverage this awesome service. I have paid a $97 monthly fee for another one of these types of sites in the past. It worked, but there are really only a handful of sites worth submitting to as far as getting traffic and SEO link benefits back to your site… This site takes care of that and does that for free.

99designs.com

A unique site that allows you to submit your project and people will actually do the work and then you pick the winner. This is FAR superior to elance or scriptlance, etc. This is an awesome way to basically pick the finished product before you have to pay anybody. One of the best uses for this site is for graphic design or logo design. Fantastic… a must use for entrepreneurs.

SXC.hu

This is a stock photo site that you can get stock photos for free. This has great quality photos, but may not have quite the variety.

Try these resources. I know several of them personally and found them to be great. They’ll either work, or they won’t, but these are all time savers. Good luck!

Pay Per Click Software - Never Before Revealed Secrets

So, I found the keyword that best fit what I thought would be low hanging fruit… It was “pay per click software”. There were about 1800 allintitle results and about 100 searches or more per day on average… What I did first of all was find through the Google Adwords Keyword Tool a list of keywords using the website “GetGoogleAdsFree.com” as the target website. Google was nice enough to generate a list of keywords with an approximate monthly search volume.

There are probably a few other keyword phrases that are probably better, but I didn’t take too much time. But I did want to talk about the product “Get Google Ads Free” and also talk about actual pay per click software that the super affiliates use.

Get Google Ads Free is an ebook that has a relatively basic idea but with an internet twist and some great step-by-step instructions on how to implement the techniques he teaches. The basic concept is that you purchase pay per click ads and on the landing page that you direct traffic to, you sell advertising space.

It might best be compared to magazine advertising. The idea is that you’d purchase a full page of advertising and then sell space on that page you purchase. If you purchase an entire page, you get the page at a discount, especially if you committed to a longer term and if you paid in advance.

With this scenario, however, you’d be the one responsible for actually selling the advertising space which may be out of your current comfort zone and even out of your existing knowledge base.

This ebook Get Google Ads Free gives you excellent methods of how to do this for the internet. Of course, the idea is to have the potential advertisers or merchants come to you with the desire to place ads on your site. This is easier than most people think. The keys to doing this the right way are in the design of the landing page and also your ability to buy cheap clicks.

So, although there are definitely some skills required here, they are taught in the ebook and can be mastered. You’ll need some skills related to understanding how to get inexpensive clicks as well. The landing page and the quality score of the page will need to be high enough to keep the costs low.

This means you’ll need some quality score landing page guidelines. Jeremy Palmer has a great quality score guide… he calls it the “unofficial” quality score something… It’s somewhat specific to affiliate marketing, but has a lot of application to any pay per click marketing and can be used for this Get Google Ads Free ebook.

Now, I listened to quite a bit of the Black Ink Project which is all about affiliate marketing and in addition to using Google’s own Adwords Editor software, there are two other pay per click software options. They are Speed PPC and Efficient PPC. Both of these pay per click software programs are used to manage a lot of campaigns and ad groups within Adwords.

Based on the audios from this Black Ink Project, both Jeremy Palmer and Amit Mehta both use one of these programs for managing huge campaigns, so they’re definitely enterprise level.

This ebook Get Google Ads Free is definitely one that should be in your internet marketing library and even without having all of the skills yourself, you could also assign several of the tasks outlined in this book to your assistant (your virtual assistants or employees - think Philippines).

Buy that ebook and use it. Good luck!

How To Make Money - Affiliate Program DOMINATION!

Ok, so the headline is a bit much, but let me explain what I’ve done here and how this can benefit you. This blog is a little bit of an experiment. I’ll get into the “Affiliate Program Domination” at the end of the post, so if you want to skip to the bottom, go for it, but this post primarily will tell you how I do what I do and may be the subject of some modifications as I go along and as the internet technology changes.

Here’s what I’m doing…

1. I am going for any keywords that are “low hanging fruit”. These are keywords that I find that have very few allintitle results when looking at Google. I start with the Google Adwords Keyword Tool and try to focus on any keyword phrases that get at very least 100 searches per day, but of course, the more searches per day, the better.

2. After I find the keywords, I check to see which keywords have the least amount of “allintitle” results. The fewer the better. You may be able to guess what keyword this blog post is about and for what keyword I’m trying to get ranked… it is (drumroll please….) make money affiliate program.

3. After I select the keyword phrase, I use it in the title of the blog post, add it where appropriate to the meta tags (even though I’ve heard recently that the meta tags aren’t very important). I also use the keyword phrase about 1-2 times for every 100 words. Shoot for a 3-7% keyword density. There’s no exact science, but too many will hurt you.

4. You can see from the headline that I’ve used my keyword phrase, but also I usually try to make the headline “clickable” or worth of linking. You may have heard of “link baiting” and using an effective title will get you more clicks, even in the search results. I use CopyBlogger.com for help with headline writing.

5. Once I get the keyword phrases all sorted out and the blog post written, I will then create as many links as I can or at very least a handful of links back to the blog post itself. I socially bookmark the page using SocialMarker.com (usually using both the “best” and the “do follow” options). I do this so that the blog post gets indexed relatively quickly. I have several rpc ping sites added to the wordpress settings, so several services get notified right away about my updated content.

6. Once I’ve bookmarked the pages, I may also use the tag pages from several of these socially bookmarking sites and submit them to Google via their ping service. Often times the ping pages themselves will get ranked higher than the original blog post simply because of the domain name and the fact that it has more “authority” than my little blog (at least at the time of this writing).

So, you’ve obviously found this page and congrats if you’ve read this far. To keep up with the 3-7% keyword density, I’ll be covering more about how to make money - affiliate program domination now…

I’m convinced that the path to success as it relates to affiliate marketing has more to do with finding and organizing tasks than it does any “secret” formula or magic way to do things or any sort of “hook”.

Several programs from Clickbank work… and they work very well. I’m mostly talking about the “how to make money” programs that are being sold on Clickbank. The main benefit to these products (at least most of them) is that they organize the philosophy and step by step processes that can get you started making money online. This information is usually available online for free, but not in a step-by-step format that will guide you through the entire process.

Because of this, let’s say the product in question costs about $97. If it were to take you a good solid 3-4 weeks worth of research to get anywhere close to the information compiled in this step by step formula, we’re talking about multiple hours.

Now, assume your time is worth at least $9.70 per hour… if it takes you longer than 10 hours to get this information, you’re losing money. Yes… Money. Remember that time is perhaps one of the most valuable currencies.

One other thing to note about any one of these products… you most likely aren’t going to ever get through one of these things entirely and see it through to completion. That said, you need to actually purchase the ebook and farm out some or even all of the tasks that the book will outline… and what a better way to do it than to get the ebook into the hands of your employee / assistant.

At the time of this post, the latest and greatest being promoted on Clickbank is Commission Blueprint which is great for a step by step guide that you could do yourself or get help with. Don’t act all overwhelmed… there’s no shortage of information that will walk you through the process of outsourcing or even implementing the steps this great guide will walk you through. Google = The World’s Best University Ever. Yahoo Answers and several other “expert” resources out there you can tap into. Good luck!

Good luck and we’ll see how long it takes this blog post to rank for the keyword “make money affiliate program”. I’ll try to comment in the blog posts as soon as I see some results, that is if I remember.
