What Can You Do For Others?

I've made a lot of money out of Internet marketing.



I live in a beautiful home in a wonderful part of the country. I work with some fantastic, clever, creative people who together generate more profit-making ideas than we know what to do with. And most importantly, I have an amazing family and while I do have a busy life, being my own boss gives me the freedom to enjoy time with them.



I feel truly blessed.

Introduction

Hey all!

I'm back from vacation and raring to get back to work. Luckily, I talked my Twitter buddy Hugo Guzman into writing a guest article for you guys while I was gone, or you'd be stuck with no content today.

Enjoy! – Jill


 
Search Engine Marketing Issues

Today's guest article was written by Hugo Guzman, the VP of SEO and Social Media at zetainteractive. Hugo is an online marketing expert with both in-house and agency experience. He's been working in the SEO field since 2002 and his work has been published in industry portals such as ClickZ and SEOBook.com. I follow Hugo's marketing musings on Twitter, and recommend you follow him as well.

Without further ado, here's Hugo...


++How to Exponentially Boost Your Targeted Website Traffic++

Few things in an SEO's life are sweeter than watching one page of a site hit pay dirt for a high-volume, high-relevance keyword in Google.

Witnessing your site appear above the fold for one of these "pay-dirt" keywords and watching the visits, conversions, and revenue roll in help reaffirm one's faith in natural search optimization and life in general. After all, SEO is one of the only channels that still gives the little guy – and the big corporations, for that matter – a shot at a level playing field due to the relatively low cost of entry. While this level SEO playing field is quickly eroding, most agree that the opportunity to stake a claim in natural search results is still there for the taking if you take the proper approach.

But what is the proper approach?

It's a tough question to answer, and there are various answers that would qualify as right. Unfortunately, most SEO agencies and consultants approach it the same way time after time: sticking to the conventional top-down approach that focuses on optimizing pages and engaging in link-building efforts geared toward the home page, followed by category pages, followed by granular product and content pages.

Mind you, there's nothing wrong with this approach. It has stood the test of time and has a proven track record of results. Heck, even my agency bakes this process into the core of their SEO offering.

However, it's simply not enough in today's highly competitive SEO climate. You need additional measures, particularly in terms of striking while the iron is hot and identifying those "on the cusp" keywords and phrases that can lead to immediate and measurable return on investment.

On-the-cusp keywords are simply search phrases for which your site is gaining some traffic but is not yet ranking well enough (say, the top 3 for most people) to benefit from an exponential boost in traffic (and, hopefully, conversions).

So in layman's terms, if you're receiving some traffic from certain keyword phrases, but not as much as you could be, those phrases are on the cusp. And considering the exponential traffic and potential conversions you can gained by moving up above the fold in the search results, it's in your best interest to keep close tabs on each and every one of your on-the-cusp keywords.

Now, obviously there are some on-the-cusp keywords that are worth more than others, and this is where analytics comes into play. For starters, it's probably a good idea to pull search volume data for any and all keywords that are currently ranking in the 4–15 range, so that you can prioritize your optimization and link-building efforts and focus on the highest-volume keywords first. But using ranking report data is really not enough, mainly because it doesn't account for keywords that you don't even know you rank for, and they're not the same for every person.

Learn to decipher your analytics data.

Reviewing your search referring keywords data can help you quickly decipher which keywords qualify as on the cusp. It's simply a matter of identifying terms that are consistently sending in a trickle of visits – that is, one or more visits per day sustained over an extended period. What constitutes a "trickle"? That's subjective, but the idea is to triangulate on referring keywords that are new and/or refer a relatively low amount of traffic.

Don't focus on the long tail.

For this exercise, it's important to focus on two- to three-word terms as opposed to long-tail terms, because most long-tail terms will not generate exponential gains even if they move into the top position.

Once you identify these referring keywords that deliver a trickle of visits and cross-check their rankings to confirm that the keywords are in that 4–15 range, you can implement targeted page-level or internal linking elements that can help push the page above the fold. You may want to secure a few anchor-text–laden inbound links to give them that final push. In some instances, a single anchor-text–laden link (internal or external) or a slight adjustment to the page's title tag will do the trick!

Replicate this process again and again, and before you know it, aggregate natural search referrals (and conversions) will begin to show a tantalizingly noticeable increase.

Twitter Question of the Week

The Twitter question for this week was:
"Is there such a thing as white hat or black hat social media? Why or why not?"

Here are some of the more interesting replies:

@RyanJones: "Of course there's black hat social media. Tons of followers + links posted = tons of clicks."

I wasn't sure what Ryan meant and asked him to clarify how that was black hat. To which he replied, "Auto follow software, plus spamming links. account disabled, start a new one. Drives traffic. Also, myspace 4 cookie stuffing."

@SEOAly: "Don't know about 'black hat,' but fake online personas, multiple accounts promoting same content, etc., are pretty shady."

@Emma_Lee1: "White hat is building genuine networks & relationships; black hat spam, linking for status, many accounts with same content."

@MCIMaui: "With ppl setting up fake accounts, Twit spam and FB pages that are spammy and have no relevance, then I'd say yes."

Then @MCIMaui also added: "Not sure why anyone would think those techniques would work, I find them simply annoying and a waste of space."

Exactly. That's what I don't really understand about what people call black hat social media. With black hat SEO, at least it works, if only temporarily. But what's the point of black hat social media if it doesn't work and only serves to annoy people? Seems sort of like email spam to me.

@t_jones: "There are definitely formal structures set up to manipulate social media. One method is reciprocal "digg"ing, "squidoo"ing, etc."

Ah yes, that's true. And those networks do indeed work in social media.

The issue was summed up nicely by @melaniephung when she wrote: "That's like asking if there's 'black hat dating,' IMO. You can be good, bad or shady, but what do hats have to do with it?"

I dunno...I guess your hat color is your fashion statement? :)

Advisor Wrap-up

That's all for today!

I had a great time in wine country last week with my husband. Thanks for all your recommendations on places to go and things to see. I wrote a little bit about our adventures in my Search Engine Land column "3 Things I Learned on My Summer Vacation."


We were good, and came back with only half a case of wine (not sure how much we drank at all the tastings, though!).

I also enjoyed my couple of days at the Search Engine Strategies conference. Our keywords and content session was very well received.

After all of the above, I then helped our daughter Jamie move out of her dorm, and brought her back home. In fact, we're going to have a full house for the next few weeks as our other daughter, Corie, will be in between apartments. We've had an almost empty nest for so long now that it's going to be strange to be full again. Wish me luck.

Catch you in 2 weeks! – Jill

Creating Multiple Revenue Streams

Whatever your biggest motivation for starting your business, you want to make your life easier. You want to make it wealthier, happier, freer, more comfortable... but also easier to manage.



That doesn't go too well with running a website, even a small one.



Being an entrepreneur is difficult, especially at the beginning when you'll be doing almost everything yourself, from the coding and designing to the copywriting and the marketing. Even if you hire freelancers, you'll still have to manage their work, set deadlines and implement what they give you.



Your website isn't a second job; it's a second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth job.

Search Engine Marketing Issues

++Determining Keyword Competition++

[The following is an email conversation I had with a fellow HRA subscriber. – Jill]

Hi Jill,

I'm a Keyword Discovery subscriber, and I use the tool for organic SEO purposes. I've recently discovered that the keyword analysis information (competition and thus KEI info) is based on exact match search instead of partial match. I asked KD why they do this, and they said it's because it gives you a more "realistic picture" of the true competition on any given keyword.

I'm struggling to understand this. The vast majority of people don't put quotes around their search phrases. I choose the keywords and phrases I want to target based on the KEI info returned by Keyword Discovery. But if this info is based on exact match instead of partial match, then aren't we barking up the wrong tree?

Help! I feel like I must be really dense here, because I just can't understand... Your thoughts and input are greatly appreciated.

Ellen


++Jill's Response++

Hi Ellen,

It's because you're not looking at how many people are searching for the words. You're trying to learn *how many other websites might be optimizing* for those words.

That said, putting it in quotes still isn't a very good measure for how many other sites are possibly optimized for the phrase. It's only telling you how many pages have that exact phrase somewhere on them. A much better way to check the competition is to do it manually at Google via the "Allintitle:" command.

For more info, please read this article:

Avoiding SEO Brain Freeze Part One – Hunting for Keyword Phrases

Specifically Step 6 (but you should find the whole thing helpful).

For what it's worth, we use Google's Keyword Research tool these days because it's much more accurate than the others, is free, and you get info straight from the horse's mouth.

Hope this helps!

Jill

++Ellen's Follow-up Questions++

Jill,

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

So you're actually collecting your keyword data from two different sources: the number of searches from Google's keyword research tool and the amount of competition using an Allintitle search? Then do you just compare the info from both sources to decide which keywords you're going to target? Do you not use KEI info for that purpose?

So one last question about this whole exact-match vs. partial-match thing for determining competition... Isn't your competition in any given search based on the way the user conducts that search? For example, if the user has done a search with quotes, obviously you'll have less competition in that given search than you would if they searched without quotes?

I may be missing something here, but it seems that if you want to target the majority of search engine users, then shouldn't you gauge your competition based on the number of sites returned using the most common search method (partial/broad search)?

Thanks,

Ellen


++Jill's Response++


Hi Ellen,

You are correct, I'm getting my data from two sources: Google's keyword research tool, and Google's Allintitle data. I create a spreadsheet with the number of searches and the Allintitle number and then it becomes clear which are the "keyword gems."

I don't use KEI at all because it is a useless measurement – all it tells you is which other pages have those words on their page somewhere. That doesn't necessarily mean they're your competition.

You said:
Isn't your competition in any given search based on the
way the user conducts that search? So for example, if the
user has done a search with quotes, obviously you'll have
less competition in that given search than you would if they
searched without quotes?

We assume that the users don't use quotes, since most don't.

Your competition is the number of pages that are OPTIMIZED for the phrase in question. Because it's hard to know for sure who actually optimized and who didn't, the Allintitle command is a quick and dirty way to get an idea. If they've got the phrase in their title tag, then they're at least minimally optimized for it. You then can dig further at the sites that show up for the phrase in question and eyeball them to determine if they really are optimized for the phrase, and if you think your site can beat them.

You also said:
I may be missing something here, but it seems that if you
want to target the majority of search engine users, then
shouldn't you gauge your competition based on the number
of sites returned using the most common search method
(partial/broad search)?

No, because those pages may or may not be optimized. In all likelihood, they may just have one of the words somewhere on the page. So they are not really your competition. You're not alone in being confused, however. It's a common mistake for people to think that somehow the number of searches for a particular keyword phrase tells them how competitive the phrase is.

Here's an article that goes into more detail on that:

Why Use Keyword Research Tools

Here is where you can see all the Keyword Research articles from the past newsletters.

That should help reinforce what I'm saying. You may also want to check out our Keyword Research Forum.

Good luck!

Twitter Question of the Week

My Twitter question for this week was:

"The hardest part of SEO is...?"

The reason I asked was that, in developing my new Kindle Reviews website:

I found myself getting a little bit stuck when trying to determine the best site architecture for it. For me, it's one of the most difficult aspects of the SEO process because it takes a whole lot of organizational skills, which I kinda lack. Determining the site architecture can be a bit overwhelming.

Others had different areas where they got stuck. Here are some of the more interesting responses:

@SusanEsparza – Explaining to my friends what I do. "No, it's not actually changing the search engines..."

@msmichellediane – Figuring out where to begin, what to read and whom to listen to when you're just starting out, building your first site.

@danthies – Ignoring all the distractions to implement the basics.

@LisaBarone – Deciding if I'm a guru, an expert or just a goddamn ninja.

@macgenie – Having the patience and persistence to implement all the great stuff you learn from your favorite experts. :-)

@cyandle – Making sure the client understands NOT to overwrite all of the hard work that went into the SEO project...

@CarrieHill – Getting client & webmaster to buy in on ALL pieces of the puzzle. Structure, URLs, content, keywords, etc. (if we aren't the webmaster :).


I was surprised that most of the answers were about the process of getting clients to consider doing SEO, rather than the SEO process itself. So I clarified my question and retweeted:

"Rephrasing a bit: The hardest part of the SEO *process* is...?"

The retweet got me some answers more along the lines I was looking for:

@SEOSEM – The hardest part of SEO is good external link acquisition campaigns.

@chrbutler – Creating content worth being searched for.

@vikassah – Hardest part of SEO is keyword research.

@balibones – The hardest part of the SEO *process* is getting high quality external links. When done right, it's always time consuming.

@BDids – The hardest part of SEO is waiting...for links...for ranks...but, it's worth it.

@robdwoods – Creating compelling content.


It appears that, aside from getting clients or bosses to actually implement SEO, the hardest part for most people is link building and content building. Guess I'm the only one with site architecture disabilities. Or, more likely, many don't go that far with their SEO process because it's fairly complicated to get it right.

You can see all the great replies via the #TQW search on Twitter.

Advanced Forum Thread of the Week

++Keywords in Domain vs. Volume of Content++

Forum member "jsp1983" wondered which might be better, "Essentially, a very localised domain, but with less content vs. a less specific domain, but with lots of content."

I'm not sure why it was an either/or situation, but the resulting comments by forum members led to an unusually interesting discussion on the importance of keywords in domain names (or the lack thereof).

Advisor Wrap-up

That's all for today!

As mentioned, I'm off to California at the end of this week. My husband and I decided on the Russian River Valley part of Sonoma for our winery excursion. From there, I head to the SES conference for a couple of days and then a quick pit stop in Hawaii to check in on the family there.

My son Tim has it even better, though. He's headed to London and Paris on a trip his school was offering. He'll be the first in the family to get to see Paris...lucky kid!

How Many Dimensions Do You Have?

Twitter divides people into two camps. To those who use it, it's a whole new Internet. There's the Web of pages and content, and there's the Twitter of people and connections. Both are valuable and both are enjoyable, but they do different things and they do them in different ways.



To people who aren't on Twitter though, the service looks completely bizarre. It's a place where people go to tell strangers what they had for breakfast and what they're about to have for lunch. They can't understand why anyone would want to read the sort of banal posts you can often find on Twitter time-lines.



They just don't get it.

[$48,506.66 In First Month] - A very BOLD claim ... but is this true?

Hi Adisak,

This Clickbank newbie claims he banked
($)48,506.66 in only 4 short weeks!

I was a little skeptical about this bold
claim ... especially when I personally
know Michael Jones!

Why? ... two reasons:

#1 - I know MJ has a massive email list!
#2 - He is NO newbie to online marketing!

BUT ... I have personally spoke with MJ
on the phone and he explained how he
actually did it.

And after he told me ... I have to admit
that I stand corrected.

First, he WAS actually a complete newbie
when it comes to promoting affiliate
products using the famous Clickbank
marketplace.

OK .. fair enough. But what about his
massive email list that I KNOW he has?

Well, MJ actually resisted to use his list
to see if it was possible to earn huge
commissions without a list using CB.

I think he did that just to come out with
this product ... but who cares!

BECUASE ... his ideas WORK!

See it here

He really did make over ($)48k in only
4 weeks from scratch by promoting other
people's products!

And after he gave me access to his Clickbank
Code videos ... I can see why.

Here are a few things I really liked ...

- I love his idea of how to use StumbleUpon
with your articles and then pay for your views
and ratings from mturk .com (I had NO idea this
was possible ... VERY COOL!)

- All the videos are organized well and I didn't
have to go hunting for exactly what I needed to
see.

- I like the ideas he mentions in the techniques,
tips, & tracking your forum traffic (something I
need to start doing!)

- The Clickbank Evaluator Excel file was VERY handy!
I don't even think he mentioned that on the salespage?

But, this file really helps you forecast profitable PPC
campaigns ... AND, what I really like, it tells you
the exact break-even cost per click.

That's really important so you don't have a losing
PPC campaign.

See it here

Ok ... now here are a few things I didn't like ...

I thought the videos were a little too non-techy
for me ... yes, I know ... I am a geek :-)

But, if you are new to this type of stuff, then you
will enjoy the videos and find them very useful!

Another small detail I didn't like, in several videos
he teaches using slide shows ... I wish there was
a little more "web showing stuff".

But, like I said ... I'm a geek and need to see all
the techy stuff that goes on.

Other than that, I highly recommend Michael Jone's
Clickbank Code video training course.

ESPECIALLY if you are new to Clickbank affiliate
marketing!
