Google neglecting your site? Add a blog.

Posted by Hugh | Posted in Internet Marketing | Posted on 10-09-2008


How long has everyone been telling you that Google loves blogs? Months? Years? Well, it’s true, and I wanted to share an experience that helps reinforce that truth to you.

The Blog That Resurrected My Rankings

I had a site devoted to a particular type of exercise equipment. The site was in the top 7 results for its keywords in Google for over six months. Unfortunately I had server problems and the site went down for a few days. Google crawled the site constantly because it was well-linked, and so big G knew instantly that the site was down. Since it stayed down for a few days, Google must have decided it wasn’t coming back up, and its rankings plummetted.

After the site did come back up, it reappeared in Google, but this time on the third page (ranking 25 - 28 for its keywords, on average). Its original page one rankings just wouldn’t come back. I shrugged it off as a lesson learned and basically forgot about the site.

Early last week, though, I was testing a tool I’m creating that helps you write and post blog posts to Wordpress blogs super fast. I decided to setup a blog on the site that lost its rankings, just to test it out. I made a bunch of blog posts (they were post-dated so they would show up slowly over time), and sat back to see what would happen.

To my surprise, over the weekend my site jumped back onto page one for its rankings. I hadn’t touched that site in months, and now it’s ranking better than it ever was — at #4 for 3 great sets of keywords. This, of course, has spiked my AdSense earnings for the site.

Another nice benefit of the new blog is that the blog itself is getting some additional traffic from Google, even though the blog does not have any external links directly to it. Google is applying the authority of the site itself to the blog. Since the site is well-linked, the blog is given a bit of “trust” by Google and is appearing in the search results as well.

Scraper Sites Can Help You Rank

On a related note regarding blogs and traffic, I’ve recently setup a blog that automatically creates a bunch of posts each day based on a variety of keywords. This blog is a test for a larger idea I have in mind, and the test is working great, with the blog having achieved more than 12,000 unique visitors in the last 5 days. The vast majority of the traffic has come from Google.

As part of that same test, I setup a second, similar blog that does the same kind of thing. Despite the second blog actually having more content, it has (so far) received no joy from Google at all (it’s not even indexed yet).

The difference is in the scraper sites that are referencing the content. The keywords that I’m creating content around for my successful blog is a scraper magnet — hundreds of scraper sites are auto-posting content from my own blog to theirs, and giving a reference link back to my blog posts to try and make it more legit.

How do these scraper sites know about my brand-new blog posts so fast? Because the blog is indexed by Google’s blog search, and many scraper sites scrape results from that blog search to post to their own blogs. They also scrape many other blog search engines, and since my blog pings those search engines when I make a new post, the blog’s content gets picked up and spread around fast.

Those links from these automated scraper sites have resulted in my blog quickly gaining hundreds of backlinks from all over the web, and that means great rankings for the pages of my blog.

The second test blog I setup, however, has not attracted the scraper blogs and so hasn’t even been indexed in Google yet. It might seem strange that scraper sites can help you rank, but if they link back to the source of the content, they really can.

Trackbacks Are Your Friend

On a final note, I recommend setting up your blog to automatically post trackback links to the blog posts that you link out to. If you’re not familiar with trackbacks, it’s a simple concept: any time you link to an external blog post from within your own blog post, your blog posts a “comment” to the blog post you’ve linked to, letting the readers of that post know about your own post referencing it.

Now, not all blogs will approve your trackback link, but many will, and I’ve received literally thousands of visitors from a single trackback link appearing on a popular blog. So make sure you setup your blog to automatically post trackbacks to the blogs that you link out to — it can often result in a flood of traffic.

Have you heard the ruffles in Internet Marketing?

Posted by Hugh | Posted in Internet Marketing, Thirty Day Challenge | Posted on 05-08-2008


Once again, I find myself, on the breaking edge of internet Marketing, “How Do I keep doing this?”, to tell you the truth I do not know how I keep doing it But I am and I plan to keep doing it!!   You are probably asking yourselves “Hugh, What on earth, are you talking about?”, Well, Have you have more than lightly heard of SEOElite By Brad Callen, Now, I have not used SEOElite but from what I have heard of, this this new stand alone software that can run on Windows, Mac & Linux, is, well how can I put this, folks, this freakin’ software is so AWESOME, I can’t even tell you.

Now I am still teaching myself how to use it, why, well I am not the most clever.  This software is so so so powerful, it is like nothing availible and no I am not just saying that, I have access to this software, and even though I have difficulties in using this software doesn’t mean I cann’t see the potential in using it the right way, and can I just say, even if you try to use it for bad, you will get your butt kicked by The Big G.

I will post pics of it, tomorrow. Mind you I will have to ask permission first, all being good.

It takes time

Posted by Hugh | Posted in Internet Marketing | Posted on 27-07-2008


Many of the big names online tell you that they make thousands online Yes, you can make a lot of money online as well but and that is a big but, what we don’t know as small time marketers, or at least we don’t think about it, these big names have a lot of names of their list, I think that bears repeating.  These guys have massive lists, some have over 50,000 on their list! That to me is massive as I myself only have about 20 to 30 people on my list & that is twenty - thirty people not twenty thousand - thirty thousand, nope, 20 -30 people.  So you can see it has taken me time to build this small number up to this very small list, but the main thing is I have names and I AM BUILDING A LIST!

I would love to hear your comments on how you are going with your list building and anything you feel I can do to improve my list.

Here is a video about my website.

Video about my website.

I got mentioned by one of the biggest Internet Marketers!!

Posted by Hugh | Posted in Internet Marketing, Reviews, The Road To Online Success, Uncategorized | Posted on 17-07-2008


Have you heard of The Seven Figure Zone?

If you bought Mike Filsaime’s biggest launch product of recent time, the 84 page printed manual, The 7 Figure Secrets, Which was originally, The 7 Figure Code,  a set of 16 DVD which was at an $5000 per person event held by Mike Filsaime in 2007, what Mike has done was get one of the biggest copywriters on the planet.

This person sat down and organised the content into a readable format, this was the NEW content for The 7 Figure Secrets manual, If you bought this product from Mike (and I thoughly recommend you do get it, if you haven’t already!!) You might have bought one of the upsells which access to The 7 Figure Zone.

What Is The 7 Figure Zone?

The 7 Figure Zone is a Closed Merbership Site, as far I can gather, at least at the time I write this, you have to buy The 7 Figure Secrets to be able to get access to The 7 Figure Zone, you also get access a media player, this media player is loaded with content from The 7 Figure Secrets DVD Collection which incase you have looked at the site the DVD Collection is valued at $1297.00.

Now to move onto the main subject of this post, The first members call was held on 8th of July, a few before the happened, there was a questionnaire that was posted for the members to fill out and one of the question was,

If you had access to Mike Filsaime for one hour what would be the one question you would ask him?

My answer to this question?  If you were to start out with no list, No Contacts, No Money, how would you start and what woudl you do to get customers?

But I am not going to reveal what Mike told me, for this, I am afraid you are going to have to buy The 7 Figure Secrets and then get access to The 7 Figure Zone.

A few days after the call happened, I recieved an email telling me the replay was up and was available for downlad as well, and I was expecting this one, but i’ll let the picture tell you why I was so happy:

A copy of the eMail I received in my inbox.

The picture to the left is clickable so you can see it much more better, Incase you were wondering why I was wearing a grin from ear to ear, It said “Boy that was some call I loved that, that is the first time I have heard Tom (Beal) and Mike (Filsaime) speak Live and boy will ir make a difference to what I do!!”

I truely mean that, after all, these two guys are in the top league of Internet Marketers, and I was mentioned by Tom in regard to that question that was in the questionnaire.  I still smile to this day and it is over a week after this call happened.

You can get this here, I have bought this product myself and that is why I have wrote this, not to earn some commission but because I believe in the product and if i can make a bit of money as a side line then, happy days, never mind, I will still believe in the product.

I Look forward to your comments on this post.
