I'm going to show you how to easily find a product with low competition and rank in the top 3 of Google using three linking strategies which work for me time after time. First, let's talk about how much it costs to run a full time Internet Marketing business... Expenses These methods involve the use of paid tools and outsourcing costs, you can get away with doing this all manually, but be warned that the tasks involved are VERY tedious. The tools I use are SEnuke and My Article Network (MAN). SEnuke IMO SEnuke is the best investment you could ever make if you're going the SEO route, using the tool for 1 hour will save you at least 8 hours of manual work creating accounts, submitting content, and bookmarking your pages. Using the social network module will give you tons of backlinks from high PR domains. The social bookmarking module will give you some quility link juice and get all your pages indexed quickly. SEnuke costs $127 per month. See my sig for discounts. My Article Network M.A.N is a huge network of blogs which you can post your content to. using this service will give you hundreds of contextual backlinks to any page you wish, the PR of the blogs are mostly 0-1, but what we're after here is link diversity. M.A.N is $47 per month. See my sig for discounts. Outsourcing Using freelancers to outsource your work to will make Internet Marketing a hell of a lot easier and a whole lot more fun. I outsource 3 things in my business: 1. Graphic Design - I SUCK at graphics. Over at Freelancer.com you can get stunning logos, banners, headers, any custom graphics you need all for pennies on the pound (cheap!). But BE WARNED... Set yourself a limited budget for graphic design, you can get carried away making your site look just the way you want, on one of my first blogs I went way over budget without realizing it. I reccommend leaving the graphics till last, that's if you even need them. 2. Article Writing - I SUCK at writing articles, I have a short concentration span and just don't enjoy writing at all! At Freelancer.com you can pay peanuts and get quality articles written on any subject. I outsource the writing of my product reviews and spun articles. I pay $5 for a 500 word product review and $15 for a 2,500 word spun article (I'll get into this later). 3. Profile Link Building - I'm sure that by now you're all familiar with the backlink packets available from Angela Edwards, Paul Johnson, Joe118, and many more members on this forum. I can't reccommend these enough, you can get lots of link juice from dropping links in the profiles you create on the high PR domains that they find, you should be using them, period. You can either buy the link packets yourself and pass them to your freelancer, or find a freelancer with link building experience and good reviews because most will already have access to some packets. I outsource this task as it's very tedious work. I pay $30 for 100 profiles containing 2 links. Thats 200 links @ 15¢ each. Outsourcing Tips Only hire freelancers with experience and good reviews. ALWAYS ask for samples of their work. Give them a test before you hire them:
After a month or so of testing different freelancers you'll soon find yourself with a great little team that you can rely on to get the work done without breaking the bank. Remember - the whole point of outsourcing is so you get more time to spend working ON your business rather than IN it. Proxies SEnuke comes with shared proxies, but due to other members of the program spamming sites most of the shared proxies are useless. I use this service: Your Private Proxy I buy 10 private US proxies each month for $29.97, you can refresh your proxies each month. Domain & Hosting Domain from Godaddy - $10 (search for coupons here) Hosting at Hostgator - $0.01 hosting in my sig. Expenses Summary A lot of you will be pretty shocked at how much it can cost to run an Internet business, I was. Subscription tools and outsourcing costs can seem expensive at first, but if you use the methods I'm about to show you, you could easily be banking $200 days. If you can't afford the expenses right now my only advice for you is.... Save up, get a job or sell your kidney. Slugging it out in I.M with no budget to work with is business suicide. Thats the truth! You may get lucky making a few dollars here and there, but you'll soon find out that you're earning less than minimum wage for at least 3 months. Even if you worked for a week flipping burgers you'd be able to pay for more than a months outsourcing. Seriously. Leverage. How To Make BANK! Thats enough preperation, let's move onto the bit where you make some money! Choosing A Product To Promote We're going to be promoting free trial CPA products here, simply because you need less traffic to make a sale (CPA converts much more than CPS) To find a decent offer just ask your affiliate manager what the highest converting NEW free trial offer is. Remember we want NEW offers (2 months or less) as we want as little competition as possible. Now we need to analyze the competition to see if it will be possible to rank for the highest converting longtail keyword - "product name review" For this next part you'll need the SEO for Firefox plugin from SEObook: SEO for Firefox Extension: Free SEO Toolbar Firefox Browser Plugin Install the plugin, restart your browser and you're good to go. What we want to do now is search for each product using the following search string: allintitle: "product name review" Using the 'allintitle:' query we're only going to be pulling up our direct competition who are trying to rank for "product name review" by using on page SEO. I'll show you an example and you can follow along, I'm going to be looking at the competition for a weight loss offer called 'HCG Ultra Diet Drops'. It's a free trial offer that pays $36.50 Step 1 Google: allintitle: "HCG Ultra Diet Drops review" Here's what I find:  Using the SEO for Firefox plugin I can see some stats for the top three direct competition pages. The only stats I'm interested in right now are "PR" and "Yahoo! Page Links" As you can see, the top three all have low pagerank and very few or no backlinks to the page. We've now worked out that the direct competition is weak, we'll move onto step 2. (If the direct competition is strong, choose another product) Step 2 Now we need to see if any of the top 3 direct competition are ranking for the phrase without quotes. I search for HCG Ultra Diet Drops Review with no quotes:  As you can see, position 4 is taken by one of the top three direct competing pages. As this page has no pagerank and only 27 backlinks we can easily take its place with some good on page SEO and link building. Taking a look at the results above the position we're targeting I can see they're pretty weak too. I think I'll easily be able to rank higher than position 4 with the linking methods I'm about to show you. Summary
Create Review page This is the easiest part, most of you will already know how to set up a blog so I'm not going to go into it in much detail here. The steps: 1. Buy a domain. Theres big debate about wether or not to use the keyword in the domain name... I don't. If I'm going to promote weight loss products I'll just use a domain like carlsweightlossreviews.com I concentrate on ranking the individual pages and not the root domain. This way, after I've done a few link building campaigns to my blog there will be plenty of internal link juice to spread around to any future reviews. Over time you'll also own an authority site, one that you can flip for BIG bucks. 2. Get hosting - $0.01 hosting in my sig. 3. Install wordpress and get a SIMPLE theme. 4. Sort out your permalinks 5. Install the following Plugins: Akismet (Included with your blog setup, just activate) All in One SEO Pack: WordPress › All in One SEO Pack « WordPress Plugins SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 WordPress › SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 « WordPress Plugins Dagon Design Sitemap Generator WordPress › Dagon Design Sitemap Generator « WordPress Plugins URL Rotator Plugin for WordPress URL Rotator Plugin for Wordpress | Ad.Ventures in Internet Marketing Use this plugin to mask your affiliate links. 6. Find 5 related keywords. For this just use the following: Product Name Scam Product Name Reviews (plural) Buy Product name Product Name Trial Free Product Name 7. Write your product review and an article for each of the related keywords above. Include the main keyword and 5 related keywords in the body of all the articles. I outsource all this for $15. 8. Post the product review on your blog using proper on page SEO. Put the search phrase at the beginning of the title and the URL, use it in the subtitles, image names and tags. 9. Post one article a day for the next five days. 10. Done. Link Building Your blog is now set up and you should have at least one post - The product review. You'll need to install the Rank Checker Firefox plugin from SEObook to monitor your rankings: Rank Checker - Track Google, Yahoo! Search, & Bing Rankings Free Now lets get it to the top of Google! There's three linking strategies below, as the keyword we've chosen seems pretty easy to rank for you'd probably only need to use one of them. I always use a minimum of two for safe measure. To make this easier for you to follow I've included diagrams with each method. Let's begin with the cheapest and less time consuming... Method 1 - HIGH PR PROFILE LINKS For this method we need to create 100 profiles on the high PR sites found in any of the backlinking packets found here on this forum. Creating the accounts, verifying them and dropping the links can take upto 2 days, a freelancer will cost you $30. (There is a module in SEnuke for this, but it's very buggy at the minute and I don't use it) We're going to be linking to both the root domain and review page of our site using anchor text variation. What is anchor text variation? To put it simply... Google count's all your backlinks. If all your backlinks use exactly the same anchor text there's a good chance your blog will end up in the supplemental index, and all your hard work will go to pot. Using anchor text variation will make your links look more natural, avoiding any punishment from Google. Ya dig? Here's what I tell my freelancer to do: 1. Create 100 accounts. 2. Place 2 links in each account with the following anchor text: URL 1: http://rootdomain.com Anchor Text: HCG Ultra Diet Drops Review HCG Ultra Diet Drops Scam HCG Ultra Diet Drops Reviews Buy HCG Ultra Diet Drops HCG Ultra Diet Drops Trial Free Product Name Click Here NOTE: Please use each keyword equally URL 2: http://rootdomain.com/hcg-ultra-diet-drops-review Anchor Text: HCG Ultra Diet Drops Review HCG Ultra Diet Drops Scam HCG Ultra Diet Drops Reviews Buy HCG Ultra Diet Drops HCG Ultra Diet Drops Trial Free Product Name Click Here NOTE: Please use "HCG Ultra Diet Drops Review" for every other link (50%), the others can vary. NOTE TO WARRIORS: Make sure you look for a freelancer with previous experience with backlink packets. Just list your job as 'Angela Edwards type links' and you'll find plenty at Freelancer.com  Once your freelancer gives you the completed report containing all your profile URL's you can follow the steps below: 1. Go to Icerocket RSS builder and register a free account: IceRocket Free RSS Builder Once inside, create an RSS feed containing all of your profile URL's and save the URL of the RSS feed. 2. Either manually or using SEnuke, create accounts of as many social bookmarking accounts as possible. 3. Either manually or using SEnuke, bookmark the brains out of that RSS feed! Now go to the RSS feeds of your social bookmarking accounts and save the URL's. SEnuke grabs these for you automatically. 4. Go to RSSmix.com and create a new feed that combines your IceRocket and Bookmarking feeds. 5. Either manually or using SEnuke, submit your new RSSmix feed to every RSS Aggregator you can find. 6. DONE! SUMMARY This linking strategy is killer! Follow it through and you'll index every single profile URL in under 24 hours, giving you that awesome link juice all at once. ---------------------------------- Article Spinning The next two methods require the use of spun articles. I don't have the time to write a detailed spinning tutorial here, but here's a quick overview of the process. (I outsource this) Step 1 - Write a 500 word article related to your niche. Step 2 - Manually rewrite the title 10 times, and each sentence 4 times. Add the proper spin syntax around the rewrites. Step 3 - Using software, spin every 4th word. Add the deep spinning syntax. Step 4 - Add links with anchor text variation. * Article spinning is very time consuming, it takes practice and theres no way around it if you want to do it yourself. You may be able to find freelancers with spinning experience, but they're pretty rare. I had to teach my writer how to spin, it took a few weeks but it was worth it. If you want to get your hands on pre spun articles, Vita Vee was a WSO here: *** ULTRA SPINNABLE ARTICLES *** [RAVE REVIEWS FROM FELLOW WARRIORS!] DON'T MISS THIS *** -------------------------------- METHOD 2 - MY ARTICLE NETWORK  First we need to add our spun articles to My Article Network. I put 2 links in each article with anchor text variation, 1 to my index page, and 1 to the review page. TIP - Add your article to the system 3 times in three different sub-categories to get the maximum distribution. Once your articles are live they will be distributed to other wordpress blogs in the network. Each time another blog publishes your article it will send a pingback to your blog. A pingback is just a notification that another Wordpress blog has linked to yours. You'll find each pingback in the comments section when you log in to the admin area. Follow the link from the pingback and you'll find one of your published articles, along with a backlink. What we need to do now is get those backlinks indexed. Open up notepad and paste the URL's of all the blogs which have pinged you. Each time you have 20 URL's to index, follow the steps below: Step 1. Log into IceRocket and create a new RSS feed using the 20 URL's you want indexing. Step 2. Either manually or using SEnuke, bookmark that RSS feed as much as possible. Now go to the RSS feeds of your social bookmarking accounts and save the URL's. SEnuke grabs these for you automatically. Step 3. Go to RSSmix.com and create a new feed that combines your IceRocket and Bookmarking feeds. Step 4. Either manually or using SEnuke, submit your new RSSmix feed to every RSS Aggregator you can find. 5. DONE! SUMMARY Using a network like M.A.N creates the illusion that lots of different blogs are writing about your content, and Google loves this. And following the steps above it's possible to index hundreds of backlinks to your site every week with very little work. ------------------------------------ METHOD 3 - SOCIAL NETWORK NUKE  We're going to be posting our spun articles to article directories and social networking sites, allowing us to get backlinks from lots of high PR domains which Google loves. For this method you'll need to create accounts on lots of sites, manually this takes a LOT of time, SEnuke can automate 90% of the work for you. I don't reccomend posting your spun articles to EzineArticles as 90% of mine never make it through the review process. Some article directories allow links within the articlebody, some do not. This means you will have to do two different runs with SEnuke with 2 variations of the spun article, one with no links in the body, and one with links. Go easy on the links, I only put two links (index and internal page) in each submission, this increases my stick rate. And I don't try building link wheels of any variation, I'm only going for backlinks here, not trying to rank each property I create. Let's begin... Step 1. First you need to create accounts on each site you want to submit your content to, remember to use different proxies for each set of accounts. Doing this manually can take forever, using SEnuke it takes under an hour. Save your log in details and the I.P of the proxy you used in a text file for future use. SEnuke can save your log in details for you. NEVER log into multiple accounts on one site with the same proxy. Watch the SEnuke training videos and read the message boards for more information on account creation. Step 2. When all accounts are ready, begin posting your content. Save the URL's of each property you create. Step 3. Add those URL's to an IceRocket RSS feed. Step 4. Bookmark the IceRocket feed as much as possible. Save the URL's of all your bookmarking account RSS feeds. Step 5. Combine the IceRocket feed and bookmarking feeds using RSSmix.com Step 6. Submit your RSSmix feed to every RSS aggregator you can find. 7. Done! SUMMARY Using this method will bring you lots of super high quality backlinks from sites which Google loves. And following the steps above you'll be able to index all your submissions in lightning speed. |
