Google Instant Previews Video On SiteProNews


Something a little different this week. I am just going to give
you a link to a video that SiteProNews made of one of my articles
on Google Instant Previews. This video shows what these previews
mean for your site and the amount of traffic you get from Google.

And in an indirect way, it also explains one of my best online
marketing tactics.

In a nutshell, one of my most effective marketing tactics this year
has been submitting UNIQUE content to certain key sites related to my
own. This content gets ranked higher in the search engines because it
is unique and only on that site. I highly recommend you find related
sites and see if they’re open to having your unique content (article,
guest blog post, web content…) placed on their site. Like me, you
might be surprised at the response you get.

Also remember, each site has what I like to call its own “keyword DNA”,
depending on how that site is viewed and ranked by the search engines.
This DNA is determined by the keyword layout of the site and the related
links pointing back to it. So an article that’s perfectly matched to these
keywords and placed on a related site will rank higher and bring in more
traffic.

If you don’t have your own keyword research software, just use Google
to find the top sites which are ranking for your targeted keywords.

Anyway if you want to view the video it is located on SiteProNews here:

Should You Use URL Shorteners?



BWMagic’s Internet Marketing News





Should You Use URL Shorteners?


Sorry about last week, the Google URL shortener link
wasn’t working for 3 or 4 days, believe it is working now.
Thanks to all the subscribers who alerted me about this
issue. In the past, I had been using bit.ly but had switched
to Goo.gl, well – because it’s Google. And everything works
better with Google, this is the first time something I used
from Google had not worked as planned.

It just wasn’t my links, none of the links with Goo.gl were
working. No big loss, unless you were linking your Black Friday
& Cyber Monday traffic thru these shorteners. Ouch.

But this brings up the whole question of whether or not you
should use a link shortener?

A URL link shortener works by redirecting your shorter link
to the one you have entered into their database. If this is
a permanent 301 redirect, then your SEO benefits should past
through to your longer link. No harm is done. But if the shortening
service uses a 302 temporary link then SEO is not passed thru
to your longer link since the search engines only read this
link as temporary.

Both bit.ly and goo.gl uses 301 redirects so they are SEO
friendly, if they’re working!

I only started using those link shorteners because of Twitter
which only gives you 140 characters to make your point. These
shorteners are also good for sharing and spreading your links
around the web. However, in one way using a URL shortener is
not a smart marketing move because you are giving up control
of your link – putting it in someone else’s hands, in this
case Google’s.

If it goes down, or they decide not to link to your content
for some reason, you’re in trouble. The same goes for bit.ly,
they are in control of your links. Maybe it doesn’t count
so much if it is a general link, but if you have an affiliate
link in there, you can’t change or alter it.

One of the unwritten rules of Internet Marketing, always control
your links and route them through your own domain which you
control. Especially if you place these links into viral ebooks,
articles, videos… make sure you are linking through a URL
on your site. This way you can easily alter the link if
anything changes.

I like using the simple Loading Page, given out by Clickbank
some time ago but later discover it is a “refresh” method which
is not good for SEO.:


Of course, you have to take out the () and place your link in
the three places, then save this HTML page on your site’s server.
Place your keyworded title for this page in this URL, so you would
have something like: http://yoursite.com/mainkeywords.htm

The above coding was mainly designed so no one could change/steal
your affiliate links, but it can be used to link to any page on the
web or on your site. Instead of linking directly to pages on the web,
you route them all through your site. This way you have control and
can change them at any time. Extremely useful if you place your links
in viral ebooks, videos, articles… once these links get out there,
you can’t take them back but if you’re routing them through your site,
you will always control those links and can change them at will.

It’s up to yourself whether or not you use these URL shorteners,
but if you decide to use them, just make sure the service you pick
uses 301 redirects so you don’t lose any SEO benefits.

For more information on URL Sshorteners and which one you should use,

Here’s what Google and Matt Cutts says on the matter.

Rehashed Online Marketing Tactics That Work!



BWMagic’s Internet Marketing News


Old Web Marketing Tactics That Work!




Rehashed Marketing Tactics That Work!


Don’t know what it is about Thanksgiving but it always has me
reflecting on all this Internet stuff and why I do what I do.
Moreover, it really gets me thinking about what is the main key
to my success. My marketing tactics are very common, there are
thousands if not millions of webmasters, using the same tactics.

Doing the same things as I do… creating niche websites, article
marketing, video marketing, list building, blog marketing…
nothing new, just old online marketing tactics which have proven
to be effective and somewhat lucrative for me.

“But you’re only giving re-hashed info in your courses…”

That’s the most common statement I get from my subscribers, usually
as they leave my lists or online lessons. But you can only give what
works for you, the marketing techniques that bring in the revenue.
I believe most readers and webmasters expect that there is some
magic formula that produces all the traffic and sales. Some special
software or program which will do all the work for them so they
can be an overnight success without doing much, if any work.

Marketing hype is usually responsible for this belief. Webmasters
and marketers are constantly being bombarded with so many “Info Products”
which promise the world on a platter. In my experience, it just doesn’t
happen that way.

Sure, there are a lot of useful info products which will help you
and there are a lot of marketing software which will make your job
easier, but I don’t believe you can earn a steady income from the
web without constantly working at it. Day in, day out.

When someone leaves my lists or courses, I always check out their
sites. Now, most of their sites are miles ahead of mine in design
and layout, in many cases their content is top-notch and much better
than mine. But when I look at their site’s traffic numbers I see
the major difference which makes my online sites and marketing much
different from theirs.

The blaring difference is this: the value of their keyword traffic.

How much is your keyword traffic worth in the search engines IF you
had to pay for it? In other words, how much would you have to pay for
your free organic traffic which you get from the search engines.

That’s the difference and the key to a successful web site (i.e. one
that earns money). Many times I see sites with only $10, $50… or a
couple hundred dollars worth of keyword traffic from the search engines.
My simple marketing tactic is to get that number up to $50,000 or more
for most of my sites. Some sites have gone up to $500k and one is even
up over a million. That’s what someone would have to pay each month if
they had to buy that traffic.

Other sites that I have, I have not worked (promoted and built up my
keyword values) mainly due to time restraints. There are just so many
hours in the day and I don’t want to hire employees or outsource anything.

Anyway, this is the difference and the key to online success. You have
to build up the value of your keyword traffic which you get free from
the search engines, and in my case this is mainly Google. Now we are
not talking about traffic in general, most traffic is totally worthless,
we are usually talking about quality high converting keyword traffic
which turn into sales or leads.

I pick my keywords very carefully and build sites to capture the traffic
coming from those keywords. Once you hit the first page of Google you will
start getting valuable traffic… then you have to steadily increase your
rankings up to the top and you will get more valuable free traffic.

Unlike many webmasters and marketers, this is my main objective and goal.
This is what I have to do if I want to keep making an income from the web.
And unlike those same webmasters, I start with the keywords first and build
from there… using article marketing, unique content placement, video
marketing and so on.

I believe it’s closely connecting my main objective with everything I do
online, which has made the difference. Even if you’re using the same rehashed
marketing techniques that everyone else are using, keeping your efforts firmly
focused on increasing your keyword traffic worth will make the difference
with your own marketing.

One of the best ways to get started in order to put this marketing tactic into
place is to closely check your site’s raw traffic logs. Find the keywords that
bring in the traffic which produce a sale or lead. Then start producing content
(articles, related webpages, videos, blog posts…) to help build up your
rankings for these keywords in the search engines.

Over time, these simple marketing tactics will increase the value of your keyword
traffic and once you get that valuable keyword traffic flowing – it is very easy
to monetize it with affiliate programs, Adsense ads or finding other advertising
sponsors.

One useful tool I have found is the Seoquake Toolbar which you can place on your
Firefox Browser. When you visit a site it will display many SEO factors, including
the SEMrush value of the keyword traffic.
