    9 months ago

    As a young American boy growing up in the 70’s Evel Knievel was one of my role models. Aside from being a daredevil Evel possessed a strong understanding of marketing and engaged in a level of shameless self promotion that would have made PT Barnum proud.
    When Evel was just getting started he got the crazy […]

  6. Using Site Search Keyword Data to Create Related Content

    9 months ago

    If you have a site with a large traffic stream you can use your site search data to come up with ideas on what content to create, what products to add to your store, and what keywords to bid on. Acting early on keyword data is important no matter what site you publish.

    • PPC margins In many affiliate markets the large profits happen early when the market is still inefficient, and margins are drastically lowered as more affiliates compete. Automatically adding your internal search keywords to your PPC ad accounts allows you to arbitrage the keywords while they have a fat profit margin.
    • Organic rankings if you rank early and pick up a couple self-reinforcing links it gets much harder for people entering the field later to compete with you.

    If you have a strong brand you may be able to use internal search data to automatically create related searches, which creates relevant content on those pages.

    Ken Robinson spoke at TED about creativity and mentioned Epiphany, the name of a new book name that he was working on.

    That book has yet to come out, but enough people searched for it at Amazon.com that they added the keywords to related searches.

    And since they are first to market they are already ranking in Google. When the book comes out they will already control that traffic stream.

    This related searches tip can be used in a way that looks spammy or a way that looks legitimate. It is up to the user to decide how far they want to go with it. ;)

    With the recent job cuts at Doubleclick I’m wondering what a “transitional role” is at Google ?

  18. Need an SEO Consultant? Hire Jonah Stein

    9 months, 1 week ago

    Finding a good SEO consultant who has enough time to take on more work is a tough job. The large SEO companies rarely have a competent employee working on your account, and the best smaller SEO firms end up spending most of their time building their own website and/or are limited in the number of clients they can take on.

    My friend Jonah Stein just shot me an email letting me know he quit working for his firm and is going it alone, which means you might be able to hire him since he has not built up a large list of clients yet, and his old clients are still with his former employer. If you are looking for a good SEO, here is Jonah’s site.

  19. How to Hone Your Persuading Skills by Reading Biased Splogs

    9 months, 1 week ago

    I was amused and a bit irked by this irrelevant and disturbing spam post from a fluff website promoting Wealthy Affiliate. I enjoy reading material plagued with disconnects and false information like this post. You can really learn a lot from both your mistakes and others’.

    They attempted to compare The Rich Jerk, SEO Book and Wealthy Affiliate. Of course, since they are an affiliate of Wealthy Affiliate, guess who the BEST company was? The point here is that they did a poor job persuading me that the three subjects are relevant and from the same category.

    Here are the disconnects:

    1a. Rich Jerk Up-sells
    1b. Seobook.com changed its business model and market one product. This was a good move because it eliminated folks who weren’t serious about learning and keeping up with the ever changing world of SEO.
    1c. Wealthy Affiliate??? I honestly don’t see how this company is different from hundreds of sites like it.

    2a. Rich Jerk offends people as a gimmick.
    2b. Seobook.com is praised by Fortune 500 clients, best selling marketing authors, an Ivy League business professor, and countless webmasters. It’s not our job to make everyone in the world happy but we try and work our ass to give supreme value to our members.
    2c. I can’t find the USP of Wealthy Affiliate

    3a. Rich Jerk is a marketing gimmick that worked.
    3b. Seobook.com is a very active member of the SEO/Webmaster community and writes for other Technorati Top 100 Blogs, including this one.
    3c. The pop-up that attacked my screen disabled me to click further on Wealthy Affiliate

    4a. The attack on the Rich Jerk was 3 long paragraphs.
    4b. The dismissal on Seobook was a short paragraph including a positive statement about the quality of the product.
    4c. Wealthy Affiliate is God’s gift to mankind.

    I don’t know where they got the information that Seobook was free. They need to stop visiting sites that steal copyrighted content. ALSO - they admitted that they heard Seobook was good stuff.

    Persuading the Reader to Take Action

    When you hard-sell a reader, especially how terrible other products are, never mention anything positive about the subject you are lambasting and destroying. IN FACT…. When you want to persuade a person to TAKE ACTION, you need to speak in their own terms. How will this post convince a buyer? Will or can they be trusted? How will it help their buyer’s needs? What are the benefits and potential gains?

    As a newbie Internet marketer, they failed in so many levels:

    • made absolutely false statements
    • comparison of three different products further dimmed their sub-standard ability to determine relevancy, which is really what selling online is about.
