Hey guys, sorry it’s been a while. For the past few weeks I’ve been filming a series of pretty intense interview style recordings, covering everything I’ve ever done and learned online over the past 10 years, good and bad, as well as what I’m working on now. Nothing is off limits, and everything is as transparent as possible.
I have about 2 hours of material left to cover, then I will be releasing the videos as a product in mid to late January. This will be the only internet marketing product I will ever release. Of course I will add many additional videos to it over the remaining years of my career as I learn and develop new methods, but they will be free to all members.
Feel free to make suggestions here on my blog about what material you would personally like included, and I will make sure to get it in these last few videos before we go live.
Now back to the Google Sniper method I mentioned in a previous post. I’d like to clarify exactly how I use Market Samurai to find keywords/domains for SEO purposes.
Market Samurai is pretty much the coolest software I’ve ever used. It includes much more information than I would ever need or use to evaluate a market/niche.
The only 4 variables I really care about in Market Samurai are:
1) Searches – I set the minimum to 100. This is the number of times the keyword/phrase is searched for per day.
2) SEOC – I set this to 100,000. This is the number of competing website for the keyword phrase. In other words, it is not “broad” match but “phrase” match. Obviously the lower the better. Keep in mind that there is a big difference between 100,000 and 30,000. If you find a keyword with under 30,000 I can almost guarantee you will get the # 1 spot if you use the backlink techniques described below.
3) OCI – I set the minimum to 50% – this is the percentage chance that these searchers are typically going to pull out their wallet for what they are searching for. I’ve tested this with MANY keywords and found that it is typically very reliable – some of my best converting keywords are listed as 84% OCI
4) Match Type – I always set this to “phrase”. This shows you the real picture of how many people are typing in the exact keyword phrase, rather than the default “broad” match, which shows how many times the word or phrase is included with other words you don’t have any info on.
I’ll also go over getting backlinks one more time as simply as possible.
For information on what kind of site to create and how to create it, check my previous post here.
The backlinking process below has worked for authority sites of mine, as well as simple 2 page Google Sniper type sites. One of my authority sites currently has 124,000 pages indexed and 2,000 backlinks using the simple system below. It gets 1,900 organic visitors every day and is growing steadily as Google continues to index 4,000 new pages per day. I’m detailing everything about this site in the video interviews I mentioned above.
I use the following sources/software for backlinks:
1) SEO Trackbacks – This is the software I use to get backlinks from blogs. I usually set it to 20-40 links per week.
2) The Link Juicer – I use this program to get up to 10 links per day. It’s a conglomerate of about 20,000 aged and unique social bookmarking and content accounts where your links will be dispersed randomly with varying anchor text and descriptions. It also has a 30 day free trial.
3) Angela’s Links and Paul’s Links – These 2 link sources send you a PDF file with instructions on exactly where and how to get 80 fresh new links every month from PR5 to PR9 sites. The pages themselves do not have the same pagerank as the homepage, but they still carry weight based on my experience. I use someone from GetAFreelancer.com to create 100 of these links to my sites every month for $30 per month. So you don’t even necessarily need to join Angela or Paul’s services to benefit from them. The guys on GetAFreelancer.com typically already have access to the links.
4) The Ping Machine (free) – Software allows you to paste all of your links to be pinged as well as all of the ping services you would like to ping to. Make sure you ping the URL’s of every page that contains a backlink to you. This basically notifies Google that it’s there, so you don’t have to wait for them to find it.
5) I make an RSS feed of my backlinks (I do about 20-25 per feed) using html2rss.com. I add the RSS feed to FeedBurner, making it look like http://feeds.feedburner.com/my-site). Submit the new Feedburner feed to various RSS aggregators out there. You can do it on your own, or use software such as RSSbot.
6) I use Bookmarking Demon to social bookmark the RSS feeds. You can use it to individually bookmark your backlinks, but after a while you will have so many that doing the feeds instead becomes much more efficient.
That’s it. Welcome to good rankings and free traffic (AND free money).

I previously mentioned that I purchased Wordpress Mage and was testing it. I’m sorry to say I was not impressed, and decided to get a refund of this $1200 product. I found the tutorial videos quite lacking and not up to date. Many times I was forced to search the forum to find answers to my problems, which was quite a task in itself, and it didn’t always result in me finding the answer I needed. Sure I could’ve relied on customer support, but I literally had dozens of questions and didn’t want to go back and forth waiting.
As a 10 year online marketer, if I’m having trouble with the software, there’s a good chance a lot of others are too. And for $1,200 I’m not looking for frustration. And did I mention that my Ebay Publisher Account got banned? Yeah, not good. Especially when my other projects are working just fine without all of the hassle. This is just another example of why I believe doing sites right (and under the radar), and spending a little more time on them is the best route.
Be sure to let me know of any questions or material you would like covered in my videos! Thanks!
