Hi,

It takes like 30 minutes to do and probably very few know about it yet. What is Google Updates first of all?

If you go to Google you'll see the new options they added, there's a link called Show Options and if you click it you see the new options.

Basically this allows searchers to search specific sites like Blogs, Forums and one of them is Updates.

I got ranked #1 for the keyword noadware which gets around 49,500 monthly visitors according to Google's own keyword research tool. Here's a screenshot of the ranking:
The link that I got ranked was not my website, but a brand new Twitter account which had ZERO followers and just two tweets.

So how did I do this? You probably can do this for practically any keyword you wish as long as they are not very competitive - long tail are the best - because if you use common keywords like computer there are many twits that contain that word and Google updates if you go and see will show them all (go to see how).

Long tail are keywords which have 3 or more words.

Create a new Twitter account or use your existing twitter account, and just post a Twit. Then put the keyword you want to rank for in Google Updates as the first word/s of the Twit. Then of course put a link to your website (shorten it or not probably does not matter since links on Twitter have nofollow tags anyway).

That's it.

Google Updates use Twitter as the primary source in fact most often you see twits there - since Twitter is basically Updates!

I don't know how many people actually go to Google Updates when they're searching - but as you can guess some will... The benefit is traffic to your twitter account - and there's the twit listed too which displays the link so you can also get clicks to your website directly from the listing.

It's true 90% of webmasters don't have a link exchange directory as it should be. 30% of those completely miss the point and it's like they don't know what they're doing at all.

So here's the right way to create a link exchange directory. There's no talking in here for long... 1 Mind Map which you can download below will explain it all step by step...


You can download Google Picassa if you don't have Windows Photo Viewer that comes with Vista. You can open pictures in full screen, zoom in and zoom out easily. It's better than viewing the mind map in the browser. To open image with Picassa or Windows Viewer click on the link, than right click on the mind map and select Save Image As.

In case you're wondering what are the benefits anyway of having a link exchange directory the RIGHT way here they are:

1) Search engines will like your website more, the more it's well structured and easy to navigate the more they like it.

2) Your link partners won't get frustrated when they're looking to find their link on your linkspages.

3) Your visitors won't get bored with tons of links that confuses them.

Hi,

This post will reveal how to be more efficient by using keyboard shortcuts, buttons and windows other shortcuts. This is what I personally use and how I configured my computer so I can be more efficient (and more fun since it's less annoying).

This not only helps me when I'm doing SEO but in everything else I do in an Internet Business. I mean it's a business using a computer - maybe it's worth your time knowing how to actually use the computer more efficiently to save time.

List of keyboard shortcuts I use (Test them out to see which ones you might find useful):

Windows logo key ==> Open or close the Start menu
Windows logo key + D ==> Display the desktop
Windows logo key + M ==> Minimize all windows
Windows logo key + R ==> Open the Run dialog box
Windows logo key + a number ==> If you have programs on quick launch if for example you press 1 along with windows logo key the first shortcut in quick launch opens - if you press 2 the second one, etc.

Keyboard buttons

Your keyboard may be different so you may have different buttons but I have buttons that when I press them I can open calculator, windows mail, web browser, windows media player, play pause or stop a video and a lot more.

So click these buttons on your keyboard to explore and see if anything is good. For example I never go to C: Program files, or waste 20 seconds to open calculator. Just press one button.

Computer Shortucts

This one depends on which version of windows you have, if you have mac it's completely different. But this is what I do that you can replicate maybe:

==> Use quick launch so with a click you can open the most frequently used programs. Note: Use different icons as well. So if you place two folders on quick launch they will both have the same icon and it's not that easy to tell which one is which. Right click on one folder, Select Properties, click on Change Icon.

==> Windows messenger or antiviruses by default open up when you turn on your computer. However you can open up almost any other program as well. Don't open all programs because that can make your computer start slow then.

==> On desktop I usually put text files with notes.

==> Vista users you can find tons of different gadgets from the Internet to put on the sidebar. The one I use is called QuickLaunch - which just like the Windows Quicklaunch it allows me to open up folders, programs, etc with a click.

I think these tips should be helpful to save you some time. It's also less frustration to open ftp software - you can do it with a click - no need to make a research on your computer for it.

Thanks

Hi,

If you do link exchanges by emailing webmasters these super tips will increase the responses to your emails... result is more links!

Many times you send emails and not receive a reply. I shall reveal the right way to approach a webmaster, what to say in the email and everything else to start getting responses and a lot of them!

It's easy to just compose an email and hit the send button - but to get a reply you need to do a little more than that.

What you should include in the email?

First of all keep it short and sweet, there's no need to explain the benefits and all that - it's boring and you should anyway always ask for a link exchange to someone who is already actively doing it - (check his website, if he has a link exchange directory he is active).

If he is doing link exchanges there's no need to explain to him what it is, the benefits and all that. Don't waste his time.

Second always include the link information. This is the Title of your website (which should be a keyword), Description and Url. So in email tell him, look to link to me use this information.

Title of site: dog food
Description: We sell all kinds of pet products including for dogs...
URL: http://www.yourdomain.com

Third always include the html code, not just the link information but the actual code so they just copy & paste it - you make their life easy.

Huge tip:

There are TWO ways to write an email, like I said short and sweet is best. You can use both and test to see which one gets you better results (the one which gets you most replies).

First is to actually link to the website and then in email you can tell him, look I've already linked to you... now link back to me please... This approach is something great because they obviously know you're done something for them already.

However the downside is that you have to spend more time with that. Means you have to remove the links of those that do no reply, and add them too in the first place.

Second way which I highly recommend is to ask them if they are interested for a link exchange. Then tell them look if you are interested just reply and I'll link back to you first. Then add also of course your link information and html code. Tell them here's my html code and linking information.

This second method will save you more time, you only link to them if they are interested. The approach is still great, because you actually are asking them a question and you look interested and personal. It's also short and sweet they read it in a flash and just hit reply and tell you YES or Ok, let's do it - it's great for them.

The worst link exchange emails are those that are long and those that are unfriendly saying something like:

Link to me first please.
Or
I will link to you first but if I don't receive a reply back from you within two days I remove your link.

Those are not very friendly. So use the second method, probably it's more simple than you currently do it.

Thanks

Update: Not recommend, Google Adwords disabled my account. See bottom of post for reason.

I tried this product like two months ago and I wish to review it - it's rare that I try such products but this one says: Just copy & paste.

So it was the easiest one to actually test.

I watched all 12 videos and basically all it says in step by step detail is to open a new Google Adwords account (you can even search in Google for promotional codes to get some free clicks) and then in your members account of Lazy Cash Formula copy & paste the first campaign.

First campaign and all other campaigns, some 12 of them contain your affiliate link for an affiliate product, handful of ads and keywords. There are a handful of adgroups which basically contain ads and keywords.

It's anyway super easy no need to have a clue about Adwords to do the thing.

The results is what I was interested in next, because the setup procedure was done quite easy.

The campaign I tested was an affiliate product in the money making niche - it's actually the Lazy Cash Formula. Later one I added another campaign in Adwords in a different niche, something in the health niche but a product that is not highly competitive at all.

So the campaign I added made me a sale after 178 clicks, after 10 days which costed $63.21 and earned $42.13. These are the exact numbers because I recorded them. So still not in profit.

Then some "problems" started to occur.

Basically the keywords in this campaign started to be marked as Low Quality Score - and the campaign started to generate few impressions, few clicks, always fewer and fewer until it's almost like it's paused.

After 20 days campaign just got 207 clicks only. I mean is this Google Adwords which they say instant traffic? Lazy Cash Formula say ads and keywords are optimized to convert still that little clicks and impressions.

So I added a new campaign after a total of 20 days with that campaign getting too little impressions and traffic.

This one not in the making money online niche.

This one got a bit more clicks, 566 in close to a month, I still believe that's not a lot in an entire month. I spent $245.19 in Adwords and earned $65.52. Not in profit neither for second campaign.

So basically within close to two months I was not in profit, few clicks, few impressions, just 3 sales for two different campaigns.

I could have let both campaigns running for longer.

However the reason I then stop is because even this second campaign started to generate few clicks, and keywords showing the message: Landing page poor quality score.

Promoting affiliate products in the money making niche is something Google does not really like - that's why then I tried a new campaign.

However this second one too started to get too little traffic and keywords almost all displaying "low quality score rarely seen" message.

The other thing I would say is that, another test would not be bad also because I spent little - so leaving it to run for longer or testing maybe another campaign (they add some two new each month) would not be a problem.

But thing is two months, no profit, no hundreds daily earned, and my ads rarely seen on Google - too few traffic at that rate I make hundreds daily in a century.

That's my honest review. Someone else might experience something different who knows. For me I will not look at this again until long... it's true that it requires few maintenance because you just check your Google Adwords account daily and do some very little tweaks to it. However in close to two months I expected more, after reading all those promises in salesletter.

Update: Google just disabled my account and also told me I cannot open another Google Adwords account neither in the future. This is serious now, they said my landing page and sites I was advertising seriously went against their Terms of Service. This time Dan Lok who recommended me this program has upseted me a bit, since usually he says he reviews programs that he promotes.

I think this is just another REASON why these 1 page salesletter promising income in thousands or more are just bull shit 99% of them like I always thought.

Thanks

How To Redirect Multiple Domains Correctly

One of the reasons why you would want to do this is if let's say you bought a lot of domains. Then you wish to redirect all these domains to your main domain.

Usually you would want to do this if you have domain like for example: dogfood.com and wish to buy mispelling domains to grab the traffic.

dgfood.com
dogfod.com

Or you buy yourcompanyname.com OR yourname.com and for all these you simple want to redirect traffic to one of your websites.

There could be other reasons but that's one of the most popular reasons for buying lots of domains.

For SEO purposes it's best NOT to just use the Meta Refresh code to redirect.  

Here's how to properly do it:

If you have lots of these domains pick one of them (any one), let's call it Domain A and redirect it using a 301 redirection to your main site.

Then the other domains redirect them to this domain Domain A, again using a 301 redirection.

So what this does is you'll have just one domain only redirecting to your main site - this is a good technique to apply when you have a lot of domains that you want to redirect. Not when you have one or two, in that case just use 301 redirection and redirect them to which site you please.

This is the same technique you can use if you have subdomains instead of domains and you wish to redirect them. Always assuming you have lots of them not just 1-2, in that case there's never the need to follow this technique.

Why you do this technique you may ask?

Well, it's just a matter of having less redirections, because you'll always have ONE redirection to the main site - no matter how many domains or subdomains you want to redirect.

Simple technique. Google always puts up "Theories" about redirection, this is an SEO Friendly way to use redirections without making Google wonder why you have lots of redirections (1 instead of hundreds). 

Side Note: We use 301 redirection because it's a permanent redirection. Google does not like the Meta Refresh way to redirect... what that does is when you go to a page it automatically refreshes (as if someone pressed the F5 on keyboard or the Refresh button in browser) and the page refreshes to a new one.

Google does not like this sort of "confusion" - the 301 redirection (also known as permanent redirect) makes it clear that page has moved permanently, now it's this one.

So these are all simple ways to make your website/s SEO friendly. In the SEO Booklets you get a lot of these simple techniques that ALL help both to improve your rankings and also to avoid penalties and get Google to love your website and label it as Authority on the subject including reliable and friendly website.

There's one of the three FREE bonuses you get dedicated entirely to answer many of these questions. Remember you can create your websites as you wish, these simple techniques don't have to interfere with the way you wish to create your websites.

Hello,

Soon within weeks the upgrade will be ready. This time there will be more one way link building methods added.

These include:

Directory submission to hundreds of directories number should be around 2518... plus a feature to submit to niche directories - so someone with a travel related website can submit to the general directories plus those niche directories in travel category. (These are directories which lists just travel related websites). There should be around 1968.

Rss submission to rss directories.

Blog directory submission. This is submitting your blog to blog directories.

Another method that I don't want to reveal what's it... this is the second method the software will have that's very little known. This is to get one way links to your blog and blog posts too. Links from unique content websites, of course all SEO friendly links. Links within content too.

The same handy features as software has right now will be added too of course like autofills forms, fast loading of sites (ten at a time in a tabbed browser within software itself), data about directories like pagerank and lots of other features.

This will save you a lot of money because instead of buying a software for directory submission, one for rss submission, script for link exchanges, etc you just get ONE software that does them all.

These are all quality links, it's not that I was desperate to add these features, I tried also my best to make them as well as possible for the best results for users.

Thanks
