Be forwarned! I don’t have a quick method for you to get top of the list rankings and mountains of traffic to your ecommerce site inside of ten minutes, like all of the other so called SEO Experts who spam your email inbox claim. But then again, if you believe all of the hype that they regurgitate, you must still believe in the Easter Bunny or that the earth is flat.
However, if you would like some honest information about how a sheer amateur created a very successful and profitable web presence in less than one year, then stick around. This article is about what has worked outrageously well at getting tons of highly targeted traffic to an ecommerce website that I own.
A year ago I was a complete beginner at this, and I didn’t know what SEO, reciprocal back links or article marketing was. Today I am the owner of a highly successful ecommerce website.
Now, I don’t claim to be a SEO expert or guru. But I can honestly tell you that in well under one year, I’ve been outrageously successful at getting huge amounts of qualified traffic to my ecommerce site without paying a dime for it. And my ecommerce website also has a much higher conversion rate than many other ecommerce websites on the web. In other words, my site is well in the "black" and making plenty of money.
My Background: I’ve been an entrepreneur for many, many years and I’ve had a lot of success at it. Since about 90% of all new businesses fail within 3 years, and many established businesses fail regularly, I like to think that over the years I’ve learned how to rapidly adapt as the marketplace changes.
I decided to transform my profession into an Internet business in Feb.. So I got a copy of FrontPage and I started designing and building an ecommerce site. At the same time I started morphing my "product" for online consumption. In June, I was 59 and I retired from my professional practice in order to focus full time on marketing my "product" via my ecommerce site.
You must be wondering what my "product" is. My "product" is information. But I’m not going to reveal to you exactly what kind of information it is that I sell, and I’m not going to send you to my website because I don’t want my direct competitors to know how I took a brand new homemade PR0 site, and advanced it to a PR4 site by Thanks Giving - a six month time span.
More importantly, I don’t want them to know the processes that I used to get my homemade website to rank on the first page in the Google organic SERPS for dozens of important keywords, and on the first three pages of Google, Yahoo, and MSN organic SERPS for literally hundreds of different search terms. It has taken me way less than a year, and many of my competitors have been working at it for up to ten years!
I’ll admit that I’ve wasted a lot of time and hard earned money on a lot of Internet marketing software and lots of worthless information from the "Internet Get Rich Quick Gurus." At the same time I’ve learned which Internet software applications are productive and worth investing in.
HOW I FOUND SUCCESS ON THE INTERNET - ARTICLE WRITING AND MARKETING
Many people use reciprocal linking to promote websites. I myself have traded links with others in my industry. However, it is my belief that publishing articles that I’ve written on thousands of competitor websites for free has had the largest impact on my site’s ranking and the amount of money that I have been able to make. But beware: If you are not aware of the downside of article marketing, you can quickly drive yourself out of business.
WHY IS ARTICLE MARKETING SO EFFECTIVE?
It’s simple: 1. The quickest way to good rankings on the search engines is to have a lot of one-way links from other on-topic sites to your site.
2. When you write and publish a good article to another site, your "payment" for the use of that article is one or more links from that article back to your website. The more articles that you write and publish, the more free one-way links pointing back to your website. The more one-way links from other on-topic sites, the better your site will rank in the organic SERPS.
3. If you are able to write a good article, you can set yourself apart as the expert in your field. A good article will create a lot of validation for you in the eyes of the public. And a well-written article is one of the best ways to get qualified traffic to your site. That is because people will read it, and if you’ve built their trust, they will click your link to see what you have to offer them.
NOW FOR THE MONKEY WRENCH - AVOIDING THE GOOGLE DUPLICATE CONTENT FILTER
If you want to be successful then you must get your well-written article on hundreds or even thousands of other sites. Google doesn’t like content that has been duplicated on other sites. What that means is that even if you have an article on hundreds or thousands of other sites, Google can find the duplicate articles and only give you credit for the links in one, or maybe a few of the articles.
So in a perfect world, in order to get the most benefit from your articles and links you have to create a unique article for each website. But it is almost impossible to accomplish that, right?
Well . . . . Thanks to modern computer programming, articles can be spun, spooled, or re-written automatically using software. And indeed, in 2006, article-spooling software began to emerge on the scene.
Unfortunately, most spooled articles are worthless because the articles that the software creates on full autopilot are usually totally laughable. The grammar and syntax is almost always all wrong. And anyone who reads them usually think that they were published by a 3 year old. And because of latent symantic indexing, the Google algorithm can also pick out and ignore your articles as well.
However, if you create a well-written article to start with, and then use the spooling software correctly, the software can re-write your article into hundreds or even thousands of unique, high quality articles that you will feel proud of. And most importantly, the articles will be more than unique enough to avoid the duplicate content filters.
If you don’t like to write articles, if you do not have the time, or don’t have the expertise, don’t worry. You can purchase PLR (private label rights) articles and spool them! But you will always be better off if you can write your own articles.
I’ve used desktop software that I paid about $200.00 for, to create these kinds of spun articles, and it works great. As I write this page, I still do use this kind of software for writing articles that I submit to article directories. The upside of this is that each directory gets a unique version of the article, and this version won’t get filtered out by the duplicate content filters. The down side is that as other webmasters take these articles from the article directories and publish them on their sites, most of these re-published articles will get filtered out. But they will still increase the traffic to your site as people read them and click your links.
Published articles almost always trigger far more referrals if they are placed directly on your competitor’s website! But it is somewhere between very difficult and impossible to recruit other competitor webmasters to publish your articles. So that relegates you to submitting directly to article directories.
HERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS!
There are some affordable online services that allow you to use their article spooling software right on their websites, to create dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of unique articles. You can even try some of them out for free. It is super easy to learn and to use their software. And the benefits of using these sites is almost too good to be true. Let me tell you a little bit about these services.
First off, the best part about these services is that they take your article, and they can spool an unlimited number of unique versions of it. Then they publish a different unique version of your article on hundreds of on-topic sites. These spun articles are so unique that a duplicate content filter will not filter out these articles. So you will get the benefit of all of your back links for ranking purposes.
This is real power. We are talking about the ability to get your articles published on hundreds of your competitors and your peer’s websites practically overnight. To sweeten the pot, when your articles are published on another site, they won’t publish that Webmaster’s articles on your site. This will eliminate reciprocal linking and nets you hundreds, or even thousands of one-way links.
Unlike most article directories where your links are severely limited, these services allow you to put up to five keyword rich links in each of your articles. It’s best to have each of those back links go to a different webpage on your site, not just to your home page.
You should make the links appropriate. So if your story is about baby furniture, and you are talking about cribs, you’ll want to link to a page about baby cribs on your site. If you are talking about playpens, you’ll want to link to a page that features playpens, etc.
The plans for the future on some of these article spinning sites are to spool your unique articles to thousands of on-topic blogs, and into hundreds of article directories automatically. And remember, every submission will be unique as far as the duplicate content filters are concerned.
Don’t get carried away, because this is not a ten second "click one button" cure for the huge job of creating hundreds of unique articles and submitting them to hundreds of article directories and thousands of peer sites. If you believe that something like that exists, then you probably believe that the earth is flat.
You will still have to put sufficient effort into creating well-written professional articles. And then you must be ready to put effort into creating the synonym words and phrases that the software requires to spin or spool your article. But believe me, you could not do in a year by manual means what these services can do in a matter of mere hours.
As an example of what can be accomplished: I wrote 4 completely different articles on different kinds of information that I sell. And after only 12 days with one of these services, my articles were on 242 different competitor site on-topic web pages.
You do the math! With 5 links in each article, one to my home page and 4 to different deep linked product pages on my ecommerce site, that’s nine-hundred-sixty-eight back links in twelve days! And I began to see some of those links indexed by the major search engines within that same time period. A little mathmatical extrapolitation will tell you what will happen after a month, 3 months, a year, etc.!
JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO SPOOL ARTICLES USING THESE SERVICES?
It is so easy to use the software that it’s ridiculous. You will learn to use it within moments.
Most of these article spooling services will allow you to test out their service for free. Most give you a 30-day money back guarantee. You will get to try it for a full month to see how much it can help your site to improve its rankings and its traffic before you must pay for the use of the software and the service. I highly recommend this type of online service and you will be happy that you gave it a test run!
