Perpetual Traffic Formula

Ryan Deiss has worked his way up to become one of the most respected teachers of internet marketing, and most of his valuable knowledge and insight – probably worth tens of thousands of dollars –  is available in the Perpetual Traffic Formula.

Click here to visit the Perpetual Traffic Formula website.

The goal of Perpetual Traffic Formula is to teach you about the three main components of search engine optimization (SEO), and show you how to quickly and continuously drive targeted traffic to your websites via search engines – mainly Google.

In this program, you will learn about how to properly optimize your websites to rank for strategic keywords, how to quickly and easily generate high ranking backlinks even from .gov and .edu sites, and how to make sure there is enough activity on your websites to drive it higher in the search engine rankings.

(This last part – activity – was highlighted in Google’s “Caffeine Update” because the powers-that-be at the search engine realized that if a site is constantly being updated and people are leaving comments, it’s probably an “authority” site.)

I highly recommend Perpetual Traffic formula for any internet marketer – beginning, intermediate, or advanced – who wants to grow their revenues and profits.

Mass Article Creator Review

One of the best ways you can improve your ranking in the search engines and drive targeted traffic to your websites is through article marketing.

Unfortunately, article marketing can be very time consuming, especially if you write brand new submissions for each site. After all, not only will you be writing and updating your blog, but you’ll be writing and submitting unique content to each article directory.

Mass Article Creator helps you to automate the article writing process, allowing you to essentially re-write articles with just a few clicks of the mouse.

On top of that, the Mass Article Submitter software allows you to submit your newly re-written articles to ten of the top article submission sites with – as you guessed it – just a few more clicks of the mouse.

Here are some additional benefits to using Mass Article Creator:

• In less than 30 seconds, create up to 1,000 articles from just one article you’ve already written, giving you tons of unique content while saving you hours of work.
• It has a huge in-built synonym database for ultra quick insertion and replacement processing.� This will allow your articles to come out so high quality that they’ll read like you spent hours putting them together!
• This truly is more than just your typical article spinning software!

I’m still new to the software, so I’m unable to quantify how much it has helped my SEO and traffic.

However, from experience I know how much article marketing can help your site improve SEO and gain traffic, so I’m sure this product will drastically reduce the amount of time I spend writing and submitting articles, and increase the amount of traffic and SEO benefit I get from the articles.

If you’re trying to build traffic, I highly recommend you give Mass Article Creator a shot. If it doesn’t work, you can get a refund within 60 days, so there’s really nothing to lose.

If you’re an internet marketer, or even just someone who runs a blog for fun, you know how important Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is for getting lots of free and targeted traffic to your website. After all, there’s a reason why people who are great at SEO can essentially charge whatever they’d like in consulting fees and still be in high demand.

That being said, you have to make sure you keep in mind that when you’re writing your content, you’re not writing for just the search engines. In fact, writing for the search engines should be the furthest thing from your mind!

While it may seem obvious or even a bit corny, you have to remember that you’re writing for your readers. Your readers – not spiders or bots – are the reason your blog gets any traffic or makes any sales, so it’s vitally important that these people are at the forefront of your mind whenever you’re writing content for your site.

If you spend too much time writing for the search engines – cramming in keywords to every sentence, being overly redundant, or not paying attention to the tone or flow with which you write – it doesn’t matter how much traffic you get from the search engines because the traffic you do get will leave your site almost immediately, never to return again.

Instead, focus on simply writing quality content. In doing so, you’ll build long term traffic, and will be far more likely to get people to back link to your site, which in turn will help your site to rank higher in the search engines.

I’m sitting here on my 12th floor balcony overlooking the ocean and I’m starting to feel a little bit antsy.  Not in a bad way (how can it be bad, I’m at the beach?!?), but it a “what are some simple ways I can get more traffic and improve my conversions” sort of way.

What can I say, it’s difficult for me to turn it off.

Anyway, I thought back to Marshall Wayne’s guest post, which got me thinking about one of my favorite quotes of all-time:

“Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.” – Basil King (not Goethe, as many believe thanks to Almost Famous)

This quote can help you become a better blogger on a couple different fronts.  In continuing with Marshall’s theme, writing bold and catchy headlines will certainly grab readers and, at the very least, get them to read the first paragraph or two of your article.

Next, being bold and semi-outrageous in your copy will keep people on the page long enough to actually finish your post.  Over the past decade or so, it seems like it has been beaten into our heads that we need to be as politically correct and down the middle as possible so as to not offend anyone.

While that’s certainly great, it’s not going to gain you many long term readers.  After all, there are probably thousands of other blogs out there that give a middle of the road perspective, regardless of your niche.  But, if you pick a side and (most importantly) are adamant about the stance you’ve taken, you’re going to strike a chord with your readers whether they agree with you or not.

For a real world example of how this actually works, just take a look at Howard Stern.  His rise to being “the king of all media” as well as  amassing a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars all started with him being so outrageous on the air that it forced people to either love him or hate him.  Not surprisingly, both sides of the aisle continued to tune it, just to hear what he would say or do next.

You can do that with your blog too.  Now, I’m not saying you have to be raunchy or vulgar, just be different and convincing.

The final way being bold will help you is in your submission to the social bookmarking and networking sites.  If you post your link and say, “Review of the Cell Phone Cash Program,” or, “here’s my latest blog post,” you’re probably not going to get too many people to click on the link or vote it up on Digg and reddit (as we know, success on social bookmarking sites is all about your headline).

However, if you say something to the effect of, “How a Cell Phone Created a Millionaire,” or, “How to Get Someone Other Than Your Mom to Read Your Articles,” you’ll probably get a lot more clicks and (more importantly) votes on the social bookmarking sites, increasing your chances of getting to the home page and gaining even more visitors  increasing your chances to “go viral.”

So keep King’s quote in mind when you’re writing your posts.  Take every opportunity you can to be bold and express your own opinion.  Don’t be afraid of offending your readers; instead, embrace the chance to push the envelope, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with your long-term increase in traffic and conversions.

Clickbank Code Review

Now that I’ve gotten serious about really trying to make an effort to maximize all of my online income streams, I figured it was about time to venture into affiliate marketing, and more specifically, marketing products from Clickbank.

While I had known about Clickbank for some time, I was definitely intimidated by it because, to be quite honest, I didn’t even really know where to begin.  That’s why Clickbank Code is such a helpful product.

After doing some research, I decided to check out Clickbank Code, a new product from Michael Jones that shows in a step-by-step manner how to quickly get affiliate sites up and running and leverage Clickbank so that you can start making money in a matter of days.

If you haven’t heard of Michael Jones, you’d better get used to the name, as he was able to turn himself from a relative newbie into someone making nearly $50,000 per month using the steps he outlines in Clickbank Code.  Considering I’d be happy at just 10% of that success, I figured I’d give it a try!

In Clickbank Code, Michael Jones goes into detail about how to:

• find the hottest and best selling digital products on Clickbank
• leverage free search engine traffic to maximize your profits
• use social media to drive targeted BUYERS to your sites
• track your campaigns to maximize the most profitable ones and ditch the duds

Clickbank Code is different from another learn affiliate marketing program I recently reviewed, Affiliate Classroom 2.0, in the sense that it is more of a “paint by numbers” sort of program, meaning it gives you a step by step process.  In Affiliate Classroom 2.0 you’re given a whole bunch of lessons that allow you to sort of figure out affiliate marketing on your own.

For me personally, I do better with the step by step process because I just want to hit the ground running.  Don’t get me wrong, Affiliate Classroom 2.0 is a great system and I learned a lot from it, but in terms of learning how to quickly get cash coming in from affiliate marketing (specifically from Clickbank) I thought Clickbank Code was more along the lines of what I would need to succeed.

If you’re serious about making money from Clickbank, buying the Clickbank Code program (as well as many of the extras) will be an amazing investment for you.

One of the most important things you need to do when trying to build up traffic to your blog or site is to determine which keywords you’re going to target.  You’ll want to pick keywords that are broad enough that they generate a lot of searches, but specific enough so that the traffic you do it is targeted.

Unfortunately, this is a pretty fine line to walk.

To give you an example, I worked incredibly hard to get Daily Fuel Economy Tip ranked on the first page of Google for the search term “fuel economy.”  I figured if I could get this widely searched keyword I’d be set and get thousands of free visitors each day on this keyword alone.

Yeah, not so much.

Turns out I get most of my search engine traffic from long-tail keywords like “difference between diesel and gasoline,” or “reduce fuel consumption.”  In fact, probably just one percent of my site’s total traffic comes from the highly coveted keyword “fuel economy.”

When you’re working to get ranked so that you can get highly targeted traffic or buyers with their credit card out and ready to go, make sure you’re going after keywords that are going to convert.  You don’t always have to go after the big game keywords because more often than not they’re not going to be the best terms for converting visitors into long-term readers or buyers.

Instead, focus on specific or action keywords.  For example, which keyword do you think is going to provide better conversions: “cell phone cash” or something like “review of cell phone cash,” or “buy cell phone cash program?”  Based on previous experience, it almost a foregone conclusion that the long-tail, action specific keywords will convert better.

Just targeting “cell phone review” will bring information seekers, whereas making a slight change and targeting “buy cell phone cash” will bring in targeted, ready to act buyers.

For those of us who run our businesses online – or just run websites in our spare time – we’re all well aware of how important Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is to getting lots of traffic to our sites and, in turn, growing our bottom lines. 

To that end, we spend countless hours trying to make sure that our sites are in tip-top shape in order to capture massive amounts of traffic from the likes of Google, Yahoo and MSN.

I came across an article published in Entrepreneur.com that may help cut down on some of the time that we have to spend working on our site’s SEO.  The article outlines ten free SEO tools that might be able to help you ascend to the front page of Google much faster than your current trial and error method.

I’m not going to go over all ten tools, but there were two tools in particular that I think are worth noting:

• Keyword Density Checker: This tool is great not only for helping you make sure that you’re hitting the right keyword density (which should be give or take 3% of any given article) but it’s also a useful tool to help you fine tune your article for contextual based advertising like Google Adsense.
• What Are People Searching For:  For the most part, niche sites tend to do a lot better with targeted traffic and revenue when compared to very broad topics.  A great way to start narrowing down these broad topics is to use this free tool from Google to see what other search terms come up for your given topic.

Anyway, I highly recommend that you check out the article from Entrepreneur.com and begin to implement many of the listed SEO tools.

I know it’s a pain to do all of the initial grunt work to get your site ranked on the first or second page for any given term, but once you get your site there, you should see a substantial jump in traffic and revenue.

This morning I checked my search engine rankings in Google, Yahoo! and MSN and was pleasantly surprised.

My rankings really haven’t changed much in Google and Yahoo!, my business blog still isn’t coming up in the major keyword searches. The New Business Blog is still coming up mostly only if you add “Brian Carr” to the keyword (ex. “business blog brian carr”).

But, when I went to MSN, I typed in “new business blog” and The New Business Blog came up number three in the search!

Then, I tried “starting a business blog” and The New Business Blog came up on the bottom of the first page.

Now that may not seem like a lot, but I think that means that the things I have done regarding search engine optimization have started to pay off!

Ever since I’ve started this business blog and come to the decision that I wanted to start a web-based business, I’ve started to learn about how to get my sites ranked higher on the main search engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN). I guess because I’m not particularly tech savvy, I was just expecting simple stuff like, “submit your URL to the search engines,” or, “use a lot of keywords on your pages.” Unfortunately, the more I dig the more I find out that making your site search engine friendly is much more intense than I had originally thought.

If you do a search on “search engine optimization” a whole bunch of sites (typically pay services) will pop up, offering to help ensure your site consistently ranks in the top 10 for any particular search you’d like. By nature, I’m always skeptical of these sites with grand promises, so I’d like to share a couple of things that I’ve learned, as well as a resource I’ve come across in my search for free help.

In looking for a good free resource I came across Brad Fallon’s webpage (full disclosure – I do not have an affiliate program with Fallon’s webpage, so I’m not pushing you to click on this so I get paid, I actually thought it was a good resource). On this page Fallon writes about how he quickly increased the number of hits to the site he owns and operates (MyWeddingFavors.com) by using his search engine optimization background, and how he used this knowledge to turn his website into a million dollar a year business. In checking around the site, it became obvious that he was probably trying to sell something, however if you entered your email address on his webpage you would receive “The 7 Mistakes Search Optimizers Make” for free. I figured it was worth a shot, and was actually pleasantly surprised at the depth of the emails. I’m not going to go into detail regarding all of his tips because I don’t want to take away from his site. Take my word though; it’s worth giving him your email address.

After receiving his emails, I have tried to implement some of his tips on my business blog. One of the tips Fallon talks about is editing the “title tags“ of your webpage. Title tags appear at the top of your web browser, often identifying the page you are currently on. Although unlikely, you may have noticed that I have added additional items to the title tags for this blog. When I first set up this webpage, the top of your browser only said, “The New Business Blog,” and then probably the name of whatever browser you were using at the time. I have now changed my title tags to read, “The New Business Blog – Business Plan – Start A Business.”

Being the curious person you are, you’re probably asking yourself, “Why would he do that?” Well, as was news to me, putting key words in your title tags actually helps increase your site’s ranking in the search engines. The words that are listed first have the most importance in increasing your rank and decrease in importance as you move out. Choosing the best key words for your website is something you should take your time on, and be willing to play around with. The words I chose are related to what this site is mostly about; starting a business and business plans.

Before I changed my title tags, I would have to do very specific searches on the search engines in order to have my blog pop up. A typical search to bring my blog up would be “thenewbusinessblog brian carr leesburg virginia united states,” and even then, it wasn’t certain that my website would pop up! Now that I’ve entered those tags I can enter “business blog starting a business brian carr” and my site will be the first one listed. Granted it’s not much of an improvement, but it’s better than what it was. Ultimately, I would like my business blog to be highly ranked for just “business blog” or “starting a business.” It’s going to take some work and a lot of other tactics to get it there, but I’m going to give it a shot.

You also may have noticed a link for “Link To Our Site” on the right side of my business blog, at the bottom of my profile section. This is because I’ve learned of the importance that “backlinks” play in getting your page highly ranked on search engines. A backlink is a link that is directed towards your site from another site and the more backlinks you have the better. When your site has a lot of links pointing towards it, search engines are more likely to view your site as important, popular or relevant to a particular search.

By soliciting link exchanges, I am hoping to get more people to link to this blog (and in return I will link to their site) in order to help increase the site’s ranking in Google, Yahoo! and MSN. I don’t know if this has made much of a difference yet, but I have a good feeling that ultimately it will.

Needless to say, I have barely scratched the surface of ways you can make your site more search engine friendly, but the two tips I’ve listed are two pretty simple ways to help you get on your way. I’m sure the more I find out, the more I’ll be able to list.

In the meantime, don’t forget to search for “new business blog starting a business brian carr” in Google!
