Word of mouth marketing is one of the best ways to make money with minimum resources. Like usual, it is always easier to say than done; viral marketing takes time to be mastered, you want something to spread, you need to learn the human nature of spreading, and how to manufacture “spread worthy” things!

Let’s see the example below, you will see this nice little “Google Pagerank Video”, and I love it! You should take a look…

This is a very good example of link bait and word of mouth marketing, you can expect this little site to gain a lot of back links and introduction over the Internet in the shortest time! This is the word of mouth marketing. In this post, I am going to introduce a very nice little plugin that will help you spread your viral content – The new Wordpress Word of Mouth Marketing Plugin!

This plugin will add a link to the:

2. Very powerful Tell-A-Friend service as introduced in the previous post

Don’t expect much from this plugin…What I mean is, this plugin only offer limited settings options, although this is a very handy tool, but you can’t configure anything. You can’t decide what bookmarks you need, or customize the message append on every post!

Still, I will use it on my other blogs, and I still recommend you take a look, a nice, simple and convenient tool!

Many affiliate marketers make 5 figures every month, but they are having some hard time to break-through into 6 figures income, they try harder and harder but never have the “luck” to cross this big wall! There are 3 things they are missing, let me know if I am wrong:

1. They do everything themselves! – We all have 24 hours, no more no less, and the only way to be productive is either leveraging other’s people time (outsource) or increase our own productivity!
2. Their business is not repeating! – Membership sites and subscription based software is getting popular due to residual income from the same customer, and we can accumulate our effort to make more money! Every time a new member join, we are adding additional residual income to our existing income, not just “replace” last month sales!
3. They don’t build list! – How many times did the Gurus told us “The money is in the list”? We still choose to ignore the simple steps and just build a thin and simple affiliate site? No matter what market we are in, always try to build a list!

The importance of list building:

1. Follow up sales with your visitors – Whenever your visitors arrive at your web site, they have less than 7 seconds to decide whether they want to stay, and the conversion will be extremely low without the follow up mechanism.
2. Build relationship – I forgot how many times I buy a product just because it was recommended by Jason Potash, Brad Callen, Ewen Chia, Alvin Phang… I still stay on their list because they occasionally provide good information and products to me! We need email to build relationship with our visitors and customers!
3. Repeat sales – You can continue to sell again and again to the same customers. As time pass, your list will continue to grow everyday even your traffic stay at the same! You should build lists from day 1 of your site go live!

If you are making 3 figures monthly, building a list will make you 4 figures a month! Same applies to others, and if you already building list, what you need to do is scale up your business, re-invest your income to outsource the jobs or employ full time staff to help you scale your business!

Change your business model to membership, continue to provide good value to your customer and build residual income!

By The Way – I am in the process of preparing my new e-book – The Ultimate 6 Figures Monthly Income Guide! (FREE!) I will be off the post till next Tuesday, hopefully I can share this great book with you soon! Please check back on Tuesday or subscribe to my RSS feeds.

Introduction

Google the Big “G” is the king of search engine, if you want to build a constant and long term online business, you must learn this powerful technique that will dominate Google and other search engine’s result page, for a very long time!

What if I told you, there is a very effective way to rank well on Google with any keywords and yet requires much less back links and authority? You can easily out rank many authority sites with high page rank and few thousands or even hundreds of thousands back links!

Before going into depth discussion, I must first introduce Google ranking secrets – How Google knows what result is the most relevant to the user’s searches?

For instance, if I type “Playing Golf” and “Golf GTi”, Google will automatically sort the most relevant result for the user and they are correct! How did Google know the difference? If you type the keyword “Tiger” and “Tiger Woods”, Google will know what are you searching for, isn’t that amazing?

This is the well known SEO concept of LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) – The theme based keywords indexing. According to Axandra Newsletter of SEO LSI back in 2005:

LSI means that a search engine tries to associate certain terms with concepts when indexing web pages. For example, Paris and Hilton are associated with a woman instead of a city and a hotel, Tiger and Woods are associated with golf.

Google has been using this concept to determine suitable ads for its AdSense service for some time now. It seems that Google is now also using this concept to improve the quality of its search results.

If you search for a keyword on Google and add a tilde ~ before the search term, then you get an idea of what Google thinks about a search term.

Theme based SEO techniques is used widely on articles and website, however, there is one crucial technique that everyone else don’t seem to apply – SEO Siloing (co-occurrence matrix). This is the most powerful technique in combination with the theme based keywords to out rank many other authority sites!

What is SEO SILO?

SEO Silo structure is a way to group your content, build relevancy internally and boost ranking with the minimum effort! Let me show you an example using Golf:

As shown in the diagram above, when you look for Golf travel related information, the Golf training page will never be shown! Furthermore, Google absolutely loves this well structured website because it helps to define the relationship of each topic (The LSI!). Now, let’s look at the next diagram, each article in its’ category will only link to other “category”, no linking between different group’s articles!

We build back links to each article with “long tail keywords”, not only long tail keywords is easier to rank, it is more targeted and more relevance to the visitor’s search, and convert to sale far better than general terms! You can use Articlemarketingautomation, Traffic Kahuna and SENuke with Web 2.0 to build authority back links to each article, you should create some back links to the “main category” as well!

You can interlink with each article within the same group, at the same time, link back to the “major category” – Such as Golf Travel, Golf Training, Golf Equipment… and anytime you mention the Word Golf, you can link it back to the Home page – Golf! If you want to link with other category articles, you show use “nofollow” link.

Internal Linking structure will greatly help the Search Engine to build a strong profile on your website, and you can easily gain “Authority” status with the well structured categories and articles! You will dominate all Golf related niches with ** Fewer Back Links ** (I mean not just less, but a lot less!) as in comparison to non “SEO SILO Structured sites”.

Here is an example of the actual site structure in your website directory structure:

/ <– Golf Home page

/golf-travel

/golf-travel/article1

/golf-travel/article2

…

/golf-training

/golf-training/article1

/golf-training/article2

With this structure alone, you gain a good reputation from Google, and your site can rank far better than normal sites. With combination of theme keywords on each articles, major categories and home page, you can easily rank well with many theme related keywords, and I suspect even some theme related keywords that are not mention here will be considered! Bringing tons of traffic from some non-exsitance keywords to your site that you can continue to use and build more pages! (Continue on second page…)

Today is a sad day for John Reese! After trying to make BlogRush works for a year, today it is finally the shutdown…

BlogRush is an idea to exchange related traffic between blogs, to finally increase the blog traffic! This is a brilliant idea, but very hard to achieve. There are some technical issues remains:

1. How to record each site’s credits
2. How to consume those credits
3. How to increase the click-through rate of BlogRush Widget

What I think why BlogRush failed is due to “people”. Everyone wants traffic, but they don’t want to give up their own traffic! There is not a mechanism to encourage click-through, and this is not only the technical problem, but also the people problem!

I think may be BlogRush combine with advertisement might actually work. Here’s the reason:

1. If we can purchase the traffic from other related blogs, when click-through pay the other party or reward them with credit, this will encourage the blogger to optimize the widget for click-through.
2. Any BlogRush members can “cash out” their credit or purchase more credit for more traffic.
3. The most difficult part – how to actually track false clicks and manufactured clicks?

I think BlogRush needs more R&D and testing before this system can actually work…with the limited budget, BlogRush can’t possibly be successful.

Having said that, we must give John Reese the praise of his courage to try this project! We hope to see more success from John in the future!

Search Engine Marketing is one of the biggest Internet marketing strategy that widely used by many affiliate marketers! There are many “black hat” and “grey hat” skills that does not contribute any value or content to the search engine and search user.

What is “White Hat” SEO?

White Hat SEO is SEO strategies or methods that not just to rank high in the search engine, but also provide great added value to the search engine and giving the search engine user better experience. Search Engine marketing shift from pure on page optimization to more emphasize back links and finally to user experience oriented.

How do Google and other search engine track user experience? From my understanding, many Gurus starts to emphasize how “sticky” your website, what is the bounce rate of your site from search engine visitors? I think we can be sure Google will continue to “reward” the good content site with more visitors…in the long run.

Components of “Good Content” SEO Site.

There are 5 major components in SEO for any website, you need to plan properly when you first start your website, and if you do it properly, you can rank well even with low page rank and just a bit back links, the key is how relevant is your back links and how good is your content.

SEO Component #1 – Proper website structure. You website must be categorize with theme keywords, use the keyword research technique in previous post to find all related theme keywords, group them together and form a logical group. All your content will be hosted  in this group and link back to its’ own category, and use the internal linking structure to push the category ranking and build a proper link profile throughout the whole website.

SEO Component #2 – Use nofollow to control page rank flows. For each page on your website to rank well, you need some minimum rank juice. The more links on a single page, the less link juice each link pass to the destination page. Overhead pages such as privacy policy and contact us page or any linked pages that do not need page rank or indexing should set its’ link to rel=”nofollow” to prevent lost of page rank through that link, this will give other pages more link juice and ensure Google index and rank it well on the search engine.

SEO Component #3 – Use keywords in each page. To rank well for a particular keyword, you should put your keyword in the:

Title
Subtitle
H1 tags
First paragraph
Middle paragraph
Last paragraph

SEO Component #4 – Create back links with link bait. You should research your market and create a Top 10 list or any kind of list, the more the better, submit them to the social bookmarking site, if your content is good, you will receive many links from other websites.

SEO Component #5 – Join blog network to get massive traffic. There are some paid blog networks that allows you to create back links with articles, you can easily create a lot of quality back links to your website with articles. The links in the content tend to give more authority power for your website, they are proven to be effective!

Key components to massive traffic and conversion.

Key Component #1 – Create more pages. You must have many related keywords for your targeted market to generate massive traffic to your website, and you need to create pages for each of the few keywords. If you have a list of 10,000 keywords, and each of your web page will target 3 keywords, you must create at lease 3,000 pages on your website and do proper back links to it!

The more pages your site has, the easier for it to rank for the main keywords and attract massive back links to its’ website and finally push its’ ranking into Authority status (PR 4 and above). These are an incremental process, the more links and pages you have, the more authority you became and the more keywords you are going to rank well, and finally driving massive traffic to your site!

Key Component #2 – Build the momentum. SEO is a bit different than other Internet marketing methods, it requires you to build up the momentum at start, and you won’t see much traffic in the first 3 weeks, but if you continue to do things correctly, you will see your traffic start to jump to the roof after 3 weeks!

Conclusion

Search Engine Optimization is the perfect marketing method for products and services oriented website, but not very effective for blogs. I found that blog traffic from the search engine does not stick long, unless you optimize your blog post to a particular problem search term that concern the searchers.

Keyword research is the most critical part in search marketing, if you do not know which keyword to target, you have no chance to success! Are you doing keyword research by keying in a basic keyword into the Google keyword tool and expect all your golden keywords will be returned?

PPC (Pay Per Click) is the best way to learn keyword research, the reason is simple – There is no room for failure, because you are going to lose tons of money if you don’t do it right!

Back to the topic, so how do you do keyword research? Let me share with you my way of keyword research:

Step #1 – Forget about using the keyword tool.
You need to visit forum, Ezinearticles and look at the common problems, solutions and product name. Write it down on notepad, collect as many keywords as possible.

Step #2 – Plug the keywords into Google keyword tool.
Use Google to further brainstorm more keywords, the key is not to focus on the keyword volume or competitiveness, you need to collect as many variants and synonym as possible.

Step #3 – Find theme keywords.
Use Google Sets to find related keywords, copy all into notepad. After that use Quintura LSI keyword search engine, you will find many related theme keywords. Plugin as many keywords into both theme keyword tools, get as many related theme keyword as possible.

Step #4 – Find long tail keyword.
Use Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery to find the long tail keywords of each keyword in your notepad, use the long tail keyword to identify the modifier for other keywords.

Such as the picture above, the modifier will be:

1. First
2. Cheap
3. indexpensive
4. for him

Now, copy all your keywords from notepad into excel, create another tab to store the modifier!

Step #5 – Generate massive keyword list.
Use PPC Keyword Generator to combine all the keywords and modifier, creating a large list of potential keywords!

This is a free tool and yet powerful enough to combine all seed keyword lists (The basic / original keyword list) and the modifier keyword list! If you are doing SEO to promote your site, you need to perform the next step before going into Search Engine Optimization, you must put your effort into those converting keywords!

Step #6 – Use PPC to test the keyword list.
Group the related keywords into campaign, and each campaign targeting a landing page, the fastest way to do this is through SpeedPPC, an extremely powerful PPC campaign creation and management tool.

Step #7 – You are stupid!
You are obviously a newbie who work hard to make some money, well, there are easier ways to do this!

Rewind back to Step #1 and do it again!

What I am going to show you are used by many successful big players, and if you do it right will save you a lot of time and money! So listen up!

Step#1 – Reverse engineer your competitor!
Do you know you can easily spy on your competitor with some spying services? You can reverse engineer what they are doing and use it for your advantages:

Spy Tool #1 – SpyFu.
You can easily find out what are the keywords that are currently used by your competitor, both organic keywords and PPC keywords.

Spy Tool #2 – SEODigger.
SEO marketer dream tool, let you dig up almost every keywords of your website, your competitor has nowhere to hide!

Spy Tool #3 – KeywordSpy.
More powerful tool to find competitor’s organic and PPC keywords, highly recommended for general affiliates.

Spy Tool #3 - iSpionage.

This tool is similar to KeywordSpy, but more powerful in terms of frequent update and bigger keyword list as iSpionage monitor all 3 major search engines!

There are many spying and competitor reporting services, all you have to do is pay them to extract your competitor keyword list, rank better than them and make a cut from their market!

Step #2 – Just go to the top and follow other “Stupid” steps for further analysis!

Lastly, you also want to visit Ezinearticles.com and find all the most viewed articles, many golden opportunities are always open to the public, you just need to know where to find it!
