How to connect with your website visitors?

It happened sooner than I thought…
I got my first sale yesterday with the guitar niche. Quite frankly this happened sooner than I thought it would. I have only gotten about 40 clicks to the sales pages, so that is pretty quick to me.
Also, the sale was not even the main product I am promoting! Hmmm.
So, from here I will keep promoting just like I have been except add in some new keywords to target, just as I was planning on doing anyway.
One sale means nothing really, but I still get a thrill when I get them, especially in a niche I have never gone into. And I am not concerned that I didn’t get a sale of the main product I was promoting – if this happens some more I may change the main product to the one that is selling.
Not that I want to invite competition, but the website I made is http://www.learnelectricguitaronline.net.
It’s a simple “review” style site made with Affiliate Genie (which makes the whole process extremely easy by the way). I started off targeting a few keywords, like “learn electric guitar online,” “learn to play the electric guitar,” and “learn to play electric guitar.”
But I stopped targeting these and targeted product names ONLY, like Jamplay, Guitartricks, Elmore and Jamorama. I also added extensions to these keywords like “review,” “reviews,” “lessons,” “scam.” You get the idea.
Then I did exactly what I have been explaining on this blog in THIS POST by getting my content out there and building links. I use SENUKE to save time and automate the process, but all of this can be done by hand.
Otherwise, that’s it. It’s not rocket science. To me it’s a numbers game – you find a hungry crowd, find an affiliate product, build a blog or a site, drive traffic, and you will make sales.
Does it happen overnight? Sometimes yes, but it’s rare. It takes time, patience and work, but you can make it happen.
I will keep you updated on how this site grows and progresses, but I plan on continuing to spread content and links so that it becomes a nice little passive income generator for me.
And I am also working on some cool stuff I will be posting here in the coming weeks on new ways of building links as well as how you can make a ton of money in little goldmine niches that literally no one goes after.

Cool Trick To Find The Golden Nugget High-Volume Keywords
I am working on another video about getting your content ranked on the 1st page of Google and it will be some pretty cool, but often overlooked, stuff.
But I was thinking about this today – have you ever chosen your keywords, cranked out some content, and then gotten little, or no, traffic whatsoever – even if you are ranked on the 1st page? And the best part is that Google told you that this low competition keyword had like 5,000 searches a month or something?
It’s happened to me more than a few times! It’s frustrating at best, and all your hard work seems totally wasted. Bottom line is that the Google search counts numbers (as well as any other keyword research software results) are often totally wrong!
Well, here’s a cool trick I learned from someone (not all my idea, but I can’t remember where I heard it) a while back that can help you weed out the losers on the front end.
1. Sign up for a new Google Adwords account (if you already use PPC, get a different account for this because it will kill your CTR)
2. Create a campaign using the keywords you want to test
3. Set up an Adgroup for each keyword
4. Target your keywords only in [brackets] to get the exact matches, don’t worry about broad and phrase
5. Set your bid price high so you ensure you get on the 1st page
6. Write your ads completely different than what your target keyword is. You do this so no one clicks on your ads. For example, if your keyword is “learn bass guitar” your ad might be about “pink boa constrictor stretchpants” or something completely off the wall.
7. Point it to your website so the relevancy is high.
8. Check it in 24 hours to see how many impressions you got.
Doing this will give you a MUCH better idea of the actual search volume.
Now, a word of caution – be sure to check your account frequently to make sure people are not clicking your ads or you could get in trouble. Odds are that no one will since you made the ads unrelated to your keywords, but it will make you sleep better if you check.
And another thing – BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE CONTENT NETWORK, only focus on Google search.
Try it and see what results you get, you could save yourself a ton of frustration and time targeting the wrong keywords.
2 Secrets To Ensure Your Spot On The 1st Page of Google
There are 2 things I do every time to ensure my spot on the 1st page of Google. I don’t see many marketers doing this, which makes me understand why so many fail.

How To Get Massive Free (and very close to free) Traffic – Part 2
If you are just coming here to this post, I am showing you a sample campaign, blow by blow. To start at the beginning, go HERE.
I’m excited about this post because I have been getting some FANTASTIC results with this process recently. The goal here is to absolutely splatter our content all over the place, creating tons and tons of backlinks to our site AND our content.
When it comes down to it, there are really only 2 things that matter in getting free traffic from organic listings – content and backlinks. Think about it like a huge spiderweb on content and links all coming back to the center of the web, which is our site.
And my approach is to pick my 1st keyword and do everything to dominate the 1st page of Google with that keyword. Then after I conquer that one, move on to the 2nd keyword, and so on. You can do it however you want, but I have found that if I focus my content on more than one keyword at a time, I end up not ranking for anything. Call me stupid, but I get too confused as to which
keyword I am creating content on or building links to if I try to focus on more than one at a time.
SO, choose whatever works for you, but I start off by picking one keyword and focusing on that one until I dominate, then move on to the next.
Here, in order, is what I do to dominate:
1. Now, to get things started I blast my site to about 400-600 Web directories. This puts a link in these directories back to my site. And they all don’t happen at once, they come in over time due to the nature of the approval process for most of these directories.
I use a new service to do this called Deep Linker Pro, by Josh Spaulding. If you don’t know Josh, he is an honest, stand-up IMer who stands behind everything he does 100%. Deep Linker Pro is a one time fee software program with free lifetime updates to the directory list and to the software. I HIGHLY recommend it if you can spare a few dollars.
Is it 100% necessary to buy this software? No, it’s not. Will it save you time getting backlinks? Yes, it will save you a ton of time.
***IMPORTANT – the only time, in my opinion, that you should pay for ANYTHING in internet marketing, is if 1) it fits into your goals and 2) it saves you time. By sticking to these 2 criteria, you will save yourself a ton of time and money by not buying every new guru “magic formula” that comes on the market. I will ONLY recommed products and services that fit these 2 criteria. If I don’t think it will help you in some fashion, or I don’t use it in my own business, I WILL NOT tell you to buy it just so I can make a few bucks.
2. I submit my article to www.Ezinearticles.com. We spoke about this in THIS POST so I won’t go over it again, but plain and simple, I submit it to Ezinearticles.
3. I take that article and submit it to Unique Article Wizard. Again, Unique Article Wizard is one of those services that saves me a TON of time distributing content and creating backlinks. Basically what it does is takes one of your articles, changes is it around into 100’s, if not 1,000’s of combinations and distributes it to 1,000’s of article directories, all on autopilot. It takes me about an hour of work and everything else is automated. It’s not cheap, but it is a fantastic service that has helped me rank on quite a few keywords.
4. I then come up with 3 alternate titles for my article so I have 3 of the same exact articles, but with 3 different titles.
5. I take these 3 articles with different titles and I submit one each to 3 different document sharing websites. The major document sharing websites I submit to are:
www.docstoc.com
www.scribd.com
www.calameo.com
If you are not familiar with these sites, you need to be. The things I like about them are 1) you can include anchor links anywhere in the document, 2) there is no approval process, 3) they get indexed VERY quickly, 4) they usually out rank EZA articles, Goarticles, articlesbase, Squidoo and Youtube and 5) you can add pictures to your article.
Here is an example of one I have up for this guitar campaign:
Looks way better than an Ezinearticle, huh?
There are other document sharing sites, like www.slideshare.com, www.authorstream.com, and www.yudu.com, and I am trying some of these out, but for now I simply use the 3 above. By the way, you’ll notice again that my name on the article above is not my name – I do this for anonymity.
6. Once these documents are published, I then take the URL’s of the documents and ping them at www.pingomatic.com. This let’s the search engines know that this information is out there.
7. I will then social bookmark these same URL’s. You can use a social bookmarking service like www.socialmarker.com, or you can even buy a service that will automatically submit to a bunch of social bookmark sites, but I have found that Digg works the best. I will typically submit my documents to the following:
www.digg.com
www.propeller.com
www.reddit.com
8. Next, I head over to www.html2rss.com and create an RSS feed out of my document URL’s. This is a pretty cool free service because it allows you to take a number of URL’s and create on RSS feed out of all of them. Then I take that RSS feed and submit it to the following RSS aggregators:
www.badrss.com
www.friendfeed.com
www.feedage.com
www.postrank.com
www.blogdigger.com
www.blogpulse.com
www.plazoo.com
http://publisher.yahoo.com/rss_guide/submit.php
There are tons of others, but I have gotten good results with these.
9. I then create high authority backlinks to 1) my site and 2) the document URL’s (at scribd, docstoc, etc.). I do this manually through a service that costs me $5 per month. With this service I get 30 very high PR sites that I can put my links on. It’s a very cheap price for the kind of link juice you get out of these. It’s called Easy Backlink Builder.
I will typically create 5 links to each of my documents and 5 to my niche site for my 1st keyword I am targeting.
10. As I build these links, I keep track of the URL’s for the profile pages where the links are by pasting them in a text document.
11. Next, I ping these URL’s one at a time at Pingomatic.com
12. Then I create another RSS feed at www.html2rss.com of these profile page URL’s and submit this RSS feed to the RSS aggregator sites listed above.
13. At this point my Ezinearticle submission should have been approved. Once it is, I social bookmark it at Digg.com, reddit.com and propeller.com. Then I create an RSS feed out of its URL and submit the feed to the RSS aggregators.
14. Finally, I let it simmer a few days. Google will naturally shuffle around. You may be on the 1st page one day, then nowhere to be found the next. I let this whole pot of stew simmer and then I check over the next few days to see where I am ranking for my keyword.
If I am nowhere close to ranking, then I will either 1) build more high PR links from Easy Backlink Builder to my site and my documents and/or 2) start the cycle over with a new article but the same keyword.
I will continue to pound Google with my content and links until most of my content shows up on Page 1 for my keyword. Eventually, if your competition is not too tough, you will dominate the 1st page.
***IMPORTANT – this is how I currently do it. I usually try out different things in addition to these steps, but these are the core things. For example, I may create a blogger blog pointed at my site, ot I may create a Squidoo lens (although I hate these!) pointing to my documents and my site. You have to flexible and try out new things because you generally can’t go wrong.
So, get to work on that first keyword and get ranked. We want to start getting some natural traffic in there and start getting some sales!

I have a confession to make…
If you are just arriving at this post, this is a blow by blow analysis of a niche site campaign I am setting up. You can start at the beginning HERE.
The other day after I posted about writing articles, I got a little antsy with my sample guitar site (which by the way I’ll reveal to you after this campaign is ranking and making some sales). You see, I am waiting on some articles to be written, so I thought I would give my site a little link juice while I was waiting. Well, I got a little carried away…
In the interest of full disclosure, here’s what I did….
I first tried out an idea I got from a free ebook called “Top Spot Sniper” by someone named Brenden Clerget. The gist of the idea is to submit your site to Digg, and then bookmark your Digg submission. Apparently this gives a little extra link juice.
Since he has a free ebook on the method, hopefully he won’t mind me posting about it here!
So, what I did was take my guitar website url and submit it to Digg. In the topic and description in Digg, I ONLY put my keyword/keyphrase I was trying to rank for, then submitted it.
I then copied the URL of the Digg submission and pasted it to a Wordpad document so I could easily grab it later.
In his ebook, he then describes how to bookmark your bookmark. His first method is to do it all manually, which is the hardest. This is where you would go to every bookmark site, create an account, and submit your link.
His second option is to use a free service called http://www.socialmarker.com, which I have used plenty of times in the past.
For some reason though, when I went to their site yesterday, I kept getting a warning that something on their site was trying to get on my computer? I tried a few times and kept getting this message, so I figured it wasn’t good and left.
I was kind of bummed because the third and easiest option to bookmark my Digg submission was to use SENuke.
SENuke is a paid option, and I didn’t want to pay for anything.
So, here’s what I did…
When you go into SENuke, you have the option of getting a FREE 7 day trial. There are basically 2 options – a somewhat stripped down version for $67 per month and the “deluxe” model for $127 per month.
At first glance, I thought, “HOLY CRAP” that’s kind of pricey.
Well, anyway, I signed up for the 7 day trial through Paypal for the $127 one because it had the features I wanted.
Of course, I didn’t take the advice given and watch the intro tutorials, I just jumped in with the goal of bookmarking my Digg submission. Maybe I should have watched them, but I was in a hurry and the software is pretty self-explanatory.
I can honestly say, SENuke has WWAAYYY more cool features than I had anticipated. It easily saved me 7-10 hours of work. This is because it carries out a number of very mundane tasks like signing up for various sites, and confirming emails, automatically.
So, I input a few details and SENuke went in and created random names and login details for me for 1) a ton of social bookmarking sites, 2) a ton of RSS feed sites and 3) a ton of high PR backlink sites. It creates these accounts for you at all the sites AUTOMATICALLY. Oh, and these 3 things are only 3 of the 6 features this software has.
Then, it verified the emails for me that these sites send to verify that I was setting up the accounts – ALL AUTOMATICALLY.
Then, it went in and submitted my bookmark to all of the social sites AUTOMATICALLY, to the RSS feeds AUTOMATICALLY, then it posted backlinks to all the high PR sites AUTOMATICALLY.
All in all, I estimate that I got close to 200-300 backlinks to my site within 2 hours.
This EASILY would have taken me 7-10 hours to do manually. And while it was doing all this in the background of my computer I was doing other things.
I checked last night and my actual site was on page 2 of Google, 12th position for one of my keywords, and for another keyword, 2 of the social bookmarks were on the 2nd page! Not too bad in my opinion.
Now, will I continue the trial and actually pay for SENuke? At first I flat out did not want to, but now I’m sort of middle of the road. So, I’m still undecided.
I can see the power of this software and I think the time saved alone is worth the price, but I want to see some sales in some niches from it before I commit to it. I’ll keep you posted.
Do I think you should try the trial just to at least build some links and get exposure to your sites – by all means, an emphatic YES. Download it, use it for all your sites (the trial is a full copy), and then cancel your subscription.
You’ll probably get a nice boost in your rankings, and maybe even some sales!
Anyway, I got my articles this morning and will begin my promotion schedule today. My next post is going to detail out my daily schedule for promoting my niche site. If you can detail out your schedule and take action EACH AND EVERY DAY, you will be successful, I can guarantee it.
And there is some really cool stuff I am going to show you that I KNOW you have never seen. Stay tuned…
The Anatomy of a Campaign – What Niche Did I Choose?
I’ve been thinking about this sample campaign for the last few days and have decided on which niche I would like to promote and how I want to structure it. I’ll get to that below…
If you are arriving at this post, and have not read about this campaign, start at the first Anatomy of a Campaign post so it makes sense.
I think thinking through the structure of a campaign is important on the front end before you jump in and start creating sites, articles, etc. At least for me it is, because I like to think it through and get my head around it before I jump in. Then I like to come up with a schedule of what I will do on which days.
This way I can plan out my steps in a very methodical fashion and adjust it as I go along, if necessary.
I also struggled with if I wanted to do this campaign totally free or with certain paid aspects. I want it to benefit the most people so they can use this “formula” to make a profitable campaign. At the same time, I am at a certain point in my career that I can outsource some of it to save time.
So, I have decided to outsource some of it, and do some of the other parts for free. All of it can be done for free one way or another, but, again, I am going to outsource certain aspects of it (like article writing) because it is 1) either
something I hate (like article writing!) or 2) it saves me a ton of time.
I also plan on putting all of the posts and comments into a pdf when it is finished so it is in an easy to understand format.
However, during the campaign, I will keep one or two things private, such as my keywords and the actual site.
I am doing this because, unfortunately, some people find it easier to steal someone else’s work rather than do it themselves. And if I am part way through the campaign and someone copies it, it could derail the campaign and no one will be able to see it all the way through from start to finish.
With that said, however, when it is all said and done, I will disclose all of my keywords, domain name, etc. with explanations so you can see the full details.
So, what is the niche I will target in this campaign?
Drum roll, please…..
“Learn to play the guitar”
Why did I choose this niche? Is it too competitive? Can I make money? What kind of site will I do?
Stay tuned to my next post where I’ll let you in on how I chose this niche, why I like it, my set-up and promotion schedule, and a whole lot more…
Until next time…
