Hi Lak,
The embedded videos are hosted elsewhere. We are looking to refine our compression ratios to eventually get the videos in the manual without the manual getting too large. However, we are living with what we have for now. If the videos are not playing it’s because there has been a temporary surge in hits on the video. If you try later, it should work fine.

10. April 2008 at 10:17Hi
I am just starting on blogging so I am new to this aspect of internet marketing. I am promoting colloidal silver and my website is hosted by GoDaddy.com and my web-address is http://www.AdvancedSilverSolution.com. I have 2 questions:
1. GoDaddy.com provide free blogs with domains, and I have taken out a blog thus: blog.AdvancedSilverSolution.com (which I have not put anything on yet). Is this a good way to associate a blog with a website, or should I look for a totally different domain name for my blog?
2. GoDaddy.com have put several of their own adverts at the top of my blog, which I feel is distracting. Is this usual? or again would I be better with another blogging system? or am I worrying about nothing?
Thank you

Hi Bob,
Well without a careful analysis of what you’ve done to date, I can’t say more than to get high quality links and preferably point them deep into your site. However, realize that page rank isn’t as important as it once was and you can rank a page rank 3 site fairly easily. The strategies and tactics we use in our membership end up doing both - ranking sites and subsequently raising page rank but the rankings come first. Remember that page rank is only a number on a scale and I’ve seen high page rank sites not rank on any meaningful (traffic worthy) phrases. What you want to focus on is rankings.
Make sense?

Hi Charlie,
Having a blog on site is a good idea especially with your product (kind of an alternative medicine product). Since it has a broad array of potential uses, having a spot to talk about each individually and even encourage customer interaction is good. We also use blogs hosted on separate domains as well in our course but having one on your site is a nice start.
I hate those GoDaddy Google Adsense ads. But that’s just me. I have two sites we run on GoDaddy (got free hosting because we run so much business with them) and I hate the way they look but it does not interfere with their getting crawled. It’s a cosmetics issue that you should consider in the long term. It may be beneficial to move away from GoDaddy and get cheap hosting with a company that will enable you to put up a blog without the annoying ads at the top.
One final note - you didn’t ask this but I went over to your site for a minute and poked around. Since you have two links in your header link area that point to a site other than yours (the parent company of the product your are promoting) you should go and put a no follow tag on those links to prevent the Google spiders from leaving your site. It will help page rank bleed a bit and it will ensure that the spiders crawl your site more deeply not Nutronix’s site.

10. April 2008 at 17:00RE Charlie’s question. I just did a quik Google search and Google itself says the following:
Preventing comment spam
1/18/2005 04:28:00 PM
If you’re a blogger (or a blog reader), you’re painfully familiar with people who try to raise their own websites’ search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments like “Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.” This is called comment spam, we don’t like it either, and we’ve been testing a new tag that blocks it. From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel=”nofollow”) on hyperlinks, those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn’t a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it’s just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists.
We hope the web software community will quickly adopt this attribute and we’re pleased that a number of blog software makers have already signed on:
Hope this helps

Hi Bill,
New niche?
OK seriously, without knowing anything about your market I’d have to wonder if there is a way to expand horizontally? The competitive part does not scare me nor should it scare you and I don’t know how low margin you are talking about. Some tangential part of your market may have better margins and expanding your site can help you build more of an authority site in Google’s eyes.

Just a heads-up.
I don’t know if you learned the “wayback machine” approach from me or not, but when I taught it some years ago, I was careful to make a distinction…
You can use the Wayback Machine to GUIDE you in creating new content or a site design. It is ILLEGAL to just copy the information from the Wayback Machine.
It doesn’t matter if the domain expired, the content that previously existed on the domain is still copyrighted!
Just a ‘heads-up’ for you and your readers…

Hello Nathan,
Let me start by saying I’m pleased that you have stopped by and contributed to the community!
I actually didn’t learn buying domains and the use of the Wayback Machine from anyone so I hope I don’t disappoint you there. We’ve also been using it for years. That’s the amazing thing about the Internet though, isn’t it? That anyone can discover it’s huge potential and hidden treasures on their own with a little hard work and common sense.
And you make a very good point about the copyrighted nature of the material - all published material has an implicit copyright - even abandoned property (such as expired domains) that is unlikely to ever be followed upon. On the other hand, the reality of the Internet is that it is largely unpoliced and when you do try to take legal and proper action as I have tried to do when someone iframed my site and was trying to pass it off as their own site, it’s extremely difficult to get anywhere with anyone. Even with an attorney in tow as I had at the time.
That said, let’s concentrate on what the process is that I was discussing. It’s not really about taking content from the Wayback Machine as is and leaving it there ad infinitum. It’s about getting a bit of continuity from the old content (not taking it word for word) and leaving there just long enough to be picked up. Then the site can be ‘turned’ to any subject which was the real focus of what I was discussing with Frank and the more important take away I hoped my audience absorbed.
So I think we are in agreement here about the Wayback Machine information and I certainly appreciate you making that great distinction. Thanks again for stopping by I certainly appreciate it.

Hi Antonio,
This is a great question and I’m glad you asked it. The traffic number isn’t a scale but an estimate of the monthly traffic in terms of visitors. Tdnam.com makes a point of indicating it’s provided ‘as is’ which means they won’t stand behind it so don’t put any significant hopes into a higher traffic number.

11. April 2008 at 12:00Reply to Nigel Nix »
Hi Nigel,
Thank you very much for sharing! I was unaware of the tool you found so I poked around with it a bit.
A nice feature is the sort by page rank function. While that’s fun I do want to be clear that a thorough review of existing backlinks is is important for a couple reasons. First, page rank can be spoofed (falsely manufactured by clever folks) so you need to ensure that good quality backlinks are there to support the page rank showing. Secondly you’ll want to be sure that those backlinks point to the home page, not interior pages. While deep linking is favored by Google, in the expired domain market you want the opposite - as many links pointing to the home page as possible because those are the only ones that count after you buy the domain and change its internal link structure.
Also I want to point out that you can’t seem to find expired domains that are up for auction at Tdnam.com. Now you can use other sources for expired domains - Tdnam is not the only souce and many are good, but my experience is that most of them end up being more pricey than Tdnam.
Just food for thought.

11. April 2008 at 16:01Hi Nancy
Thanks for your reply - now i know to only take that number in the traffic column that tdnam.com provide with a grain of salt.
Besides using the “wayback machine”, is there another way of finding out the amount of traffic that an expired domain name receives? You mentioned in the video from memory, that you have a great plugin for firefox that measures these such things, am i correct?
If you don’t mind my asking, where can we get the plugin for firefox that you are speaking of?

Hi Antonio,
I don’t think I was talking about traffic potential when I mentioned the Firefox add-in - I’m pretty sure I was talking about looking at backlinks. Anyway the add-in shows a bunch of data and does have an Alexa rank but I find Alexa highly unreliable. The add-in is SEOQuake. Just go to Google and type in SEOQuake. Much to my surprise when I did that and took a quick look at the site (I always like to double check things) I noticed it’s now available for IE (Internet Explorer). This is a ‘must have’ add-in for anyone serious about SEO.

Hi William,
Really if $349 was the best you could do, you didn’t look in the right places. Be sure you click on the expiring domain tab when you get to Tdnam. Then you may have to look a bit but after 10 minutes of looking I got three good domains (OK I’ll fess up I got 4 but one of them was sooooo good I’m keeping it.) I will not bid on any of the following. Do watch these as I’m guessing that they will get bid up because I’m posting them here but as of tonight (Friday) all three are up for auction for $10.
jennyleeberns.com PR1 1 wikipedia links
scornedmovie.com PR2 3 wikipedia links
radiooriente.org PR3 Good backlinks
As a pointer you DO NOT bid ahead of time. That just tips off the public and drives up the price. Good luck to all.

Hi Charlie,
Once you win your domain I should point out that there is about a 2 week waiting period before the domain is transferred over to you. During this waiting period the original owner has one more opportunity to reclaim the domain. Now don’t let this concern you, we’ve bought hundreds of domains and never had the owner come back in that 2 week time frame. I just want you to understand the process.
As for redirecting the domain or setting it up as a new blog, you will get far more long term value with Google from creating a blog with content and placing links to interior pages of your main money making site.

14. April 2008 at 06:52Me again with another quicky

Do you use the traffic figure as a guide?
Thanks

14. April 2008 at 07:03Reply to Charlie »
Hey Charlie,
This is for you and everyone else who is serious about getting into expired domains. You need to review the backlinks carefully before you purchase. The drawback to just buying a site showing decent page rank is that the links that created it may have dropped off.
One free tool that I highly recommend to help you with this is the SEOquake add in tool. What’s really neat about this is it now works on both Firefox and IE. You simply turn it on and off with a click of your cursor on the icon that shows at the bottom of your browser window. So when you have found a possible domain type the URL into your address bar and SEOquake will give you a ton of information about the site, including numbers of backlinks, at the top of the screen.
As far as finding the gems in the huge expired domain market, traffic is one metric but it’s highly unreliable. The more you look, the better you get at finding the good stuff. I do have more specific guidelines in the bootcamp.
To get SEOquake just type that word into Google and they show up on top.

2) What is the pricing going to be like for your program?
Thanks Nancy!

Hi Peter,
Yes it’s really possible to rank on page 1 of Google for a competitive term with a new site. But if you want to make your challenge easier, it’s best to see if you can find an expired domain with a good name (something brandable not one of these keyword stuffed domain names) to build it on. I’ve got more specifics about this in the bootcamp but suffice it to say that all you are looking for is a domain that’s been indexed by Google so it has an age to it.
As far as price, we are still working on that. What we want to do is make our course accessible to the Average Joe. We don’t want to keep anyone out due to a high price. But we also need to cover our costs and build for the future - not our future but yours. You see we need to be able to keep up the research and tool development necessary to keep our members always one step ahead of their competitors.
If you haven’t signed up on our ‘Keep Me in the Loop” list on the home page (www.liveblueprints.com) do so as that group will get some early notice on the opening yet this week.

I have downloaded SEOQuake onto my IE. Maybe I am being a bit slow-witted here, but the links that is shows at the top appears to be links FROM the site under question, rather than backlinks TO the site in question. Am I missing something here?
Thanks

Hello Jean-Marie,
I’m not sure I understand your question regarding your domain name. Why wouldn’t you keep it? The point of the Frank Kern interview is to show how blog pages are very easy to rank but that doesn’t mean you drop an ecommerce site. In the bootcamp we show folks how to use those fast ranking blog page to ‘pull’ ecommerce pages up on Google also.
I don’t know how many products you sell. I went to your site but all interior pages seem to be blank. But to get back to your question, on a large (hundreds or thousands of products) ecommerce site, you probably won’t get all your pages to rank on page one of Google.
What’s more important is to work on the key phrases for the big terms and your site will just naturally pull many interior pages into a good position.

Hi Charlie,
You are looking at the wrong link. The great thing about SEOquake is that not only is it free but they have done an outstanding job of putting together some tutorials on how to use it. I recommend you go back to their site because frankly they do a better job than I would in instructing folks in its use.

15. April 2008 at 09:05I have had a site for about a year and haven’t done anything with it because instead of going in one direction, I’ve gone in circles. AHHH! I’m presently working an affiliate program, that I don’t believe I can ad to (links or otherwise), but I can always link to it via blog site, right? I just signed up for your free “getting started” manual and I thought I’d have it instantaneously … guess I’m part of the “want it now” fast paced “procrastinating” society we live in. Can’t wait to receive it … I thought I knew a lot about SEO, but you really break it down and make it sound so easy. GREAT INFO. Nancy … Thank You!!!

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the nice words. In regards to you comment… “I’m presently working an affiliate program, that I don’t believe I can ad to (links or otherwise), but I can always link to it via blog site, right?”, I’m assuming that you mean you can’t add links to the Affiliate site which you don’t own. Which would be correct. But you can (and I say should) create your own blog and work on it a bit with some good content so the search engine spiders become responsive to that blog site and then you too can go after terms for Internet Marketing products just like I did with my listing for http://www.first-income-online.com for the term ‘the niche annihilation method’. Even though I’ve done nothing more with that page since I put it up and bookmarked it at Digg and Propeller, it’s still #5 on Google.
Make sense?

If you’ve not watched the videos we put up from my presentation at Yanik Silver’s Underground seminar, please do so because I give a great overview of how to start and maintain an SEO program.

Hi Som,
My advice to you is the same as it is for Shweeta. Watch the videos here and watch the one I did still on the seotalk page with Frank Kern. There is a bunch of information there for you to get started. Knowledge followed by focused actions will produce results. In fact, over in our private members area just this morning I was responding to a member who said he’d not been getting anywhere but realized he also had not been applying our program - he was trying something else. He said that as soon as he got focused and followed our system, his site started to rank and now he’s looking for ways to ’sell’ his traffic to others.

Hi Thomas,
I’m not sure I fully understand your comments but here’s how I view it. First you need your own site. Yes that will cost you a little money. If you have no money now, no ‘get rich quick’ Internet scheme is going to actually work. What I actually teach good people like yourself to do is build a long term, profitable business. One that will last and support you financially for years to come. But building a business should be seen as an investment. Get to a financially stable position and then build a great business.

16. April 2008 at 10:12Hello Nancy!
I just wanted to say that I have downloaded the live blue prints and I have begun to read some of it and so far I am very impressed with the detail so far.
My website is new and I have many others that are comming out soon and I have found it very hard to juggle several different websites with all the SEO, traffic generation, and admin work for each. I still work full time at my “day job” and I really want to commit full time to my internet work but I can’t seem to manage everything required to consistantly drive traffic in the meantime. I don’t understand how some people out there can have 50-100 websites and manage all of them!?! Article marketing alone takes up hours and hours of time, let alone all the other essentials for driving traffic. I am very frustrated. How do they(you) do all of it and still remain saine?

Hi Ricky,
Too many websites is a mistake. I tell folks just beginning to focus on one website, aim it at a big enough market to generate significant profits and make it a success. Then if you want to repeat the process you can do that then when you are in a position to hire some people to do some of the more menial chores. Here’s the key. You are right that there are only so many hours anybody has to spend. Any site needs a certain level of what I refer to as ‘critical mass’ to be a success. That critical mass is in part, getting links, building informative content and copywriting. If you have a bunch of sites you are trying to move all at once, you’ll never attain critical mass. 25 websites for 25 small niches will never bring you prosperity. 1 website in a wider market segment brings you ample opportunity for success and makes your life easier as you can still go after small niches that relate to the larger focus of the big site and that makes it easier to write coordinated content.
Make sense?

I found the latst couple of videos inspiring even if they were a little pitchy. However, matching the straight forward information in your first six videos would be hard to match and you are preping your viewers for a membership offer…go figure.
As always, professionally done…and its nice to see the average man/woman win.

Thanks again for your answer. I had asked earlier about having a blog on my main site which you thought was a good idea. Unfortunately, I can’t do that with my hosting company (GoDaddy),
It has been suggested to me that I set up a new
‘alias’ to point at a Wordpress blog. This means that my blog would be hosted on wordpress and my web site on godaddy, but they would look like one and the same site. Wordpress apparantly support this as a standard feature.
Is it a good idea to do it this way?

Hi Lynsey,
For starts I’d pick your passion. You wear a lot of hats but I’m guessing that one of them is a bit dearer to you than the others. Any of the three areas you mention you have experience in would make an excellent focus for an online business. Notice I said business, not website. Your website is only an extension of your business. So after you pick a focus, then dream up ways to monetize it. You’ll have the beginnings of a plan.
All you have to do is get started!

Or, you could get off of Go Daddy. Look I’m not big on dealing with ‘work arounds’ when the best solution is pretty easy. Changing hosting companies is not that hard to do and getting a good host doesn’t have to cost you more than a few dollars per month. Review our Tools of the Trade section in our getting started manual for companies we use.

Now I’m picking up the word ‘holiday’ that you Brits like to use but here in the US we say vacation. Now you could tap into another market. See where I’m going?

16. April 2008 at 19:10Reply to Aghper Jan »
Hi Aghper,
Rather than worry too much about a total to hit I encourage folks to think of it as an ongoing process. You need a minimum of probably 10 to have any level of critical mass build with regard to content on your site but really you should never think it completely ends. Adding articles continues to make your site bigger and stronger and adding new content ‘freshens’ your site in Google’s eyes which is good.
Thanks for your kind words!

17. April 2008 at 00:14Hi Agpher Jan,
If you wanted quantity articles try
http://www.need-an-article.com (
I am not their affiliate. I get nothing from them by telling you this.) I used to be a member and really like them.
Most writers are either professional writers or literature/English major students. Most of them are either American or come from English speaking country such as the UK, Canada, or Australia.
It’s a membership site for $9.95/month. (Plus a few $ for your requested articles which you only pay if you request them.)
You get access to many quality writers which can produce articles for you usually within 24-48 hour.
There are 3 levels of article all based on length plus they also write Press Release too.
Article prices range from just over $5-$10.
I believed their price structure are as follow
* $5.52 for a short article (around 400-500 words)
* $7 (ish) for a medium article (550-750 words)
* just over $10 for a large article (700-1000 words)
Here is what you need to do once you sign up.
1. check out each writer to find the one that you prefer
2. purchase credit for article size (S, M, L)
3. submit your article request (1-10)
TIPS 1. Be very specific about your needed articles
2. It would be easier for you and the writer if you can find articles that you like and show them some sample (just find them on the web and give the writer Urls).
* Don’t worry these writers will not copy the original nor spin them!
You can also submit your request for any writer to pick up your project.
I found that their work quality are very good. I’m extremely satisfy.
The reason that I’m not a member right now is that I’m not in need for any articles at the moment. (Just save myself $10/month).
I hope this help.

17. April 2008 at 06:37thank you Mike Chudej for detail explanation.I found one site called Article Underground for 100$/month you get 400articles.it is worthed but for startup it is expensive.That is why I was looking for other free or cheap alternatives.

Hi Aghper,
Well if your budget is really tight, the best thing to do is to write the articles yourself. Since this is a process rather than a project with an immediate time frame, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that you could write at least 3 articles a week. I don’t have a service I’d recommend right now. I’ve used ‘need-an-article’ but find that by the time I fulfill their requirements on the article title and summaries for each paragraph, I could have just written it myself. I’ve tried content scraping tools that promise that by choosing selected sentences they pull from different sites from the Internet that you can quickly put together meaningful articles. But my results when I’ve used them were very disappointing.
Right now I have a gal who does a lot of different things for me occasionally help out with article writing. Unfortunately I have her booked and she’s not cheap.

17. April 2008 at 10:04Hi Nancy
Thanks again for the advice, I’ll have a look at the other hosting companies. As for your earlier advice about increasing the size of the website, and removing links off the website (or putting in “nofollow”); I have been working on that.
As my product has recently been patented, I copied the patent from the US Patent Office website (a substantial amount of content in one go). Is that I good idea, or am I likely to end up in Googles SI index for duplicating content?
Also, if I put articles on my blog (when it is set up) that have already been submited to article directories, is that likely to end me up in SI?
Thanks again
Charlie

17. April 2008 at 10:12Reply to Charlie »
Hi Charlie,
As for the patent document, that’s typically a long read and I’m not sure what your site visitors will really get out of it. What I’d do is put together a synopsis of the patent with a the initial components of the document and a link to it on the source site and that will be a combination of unique content, referenced content and a link out to an authority source which may be seen favorably by Google and certainly won’t give you any issues with the SI for duplicate content.
As for your blog - NEVER put content submitted elsewhere on it. Put only unique content on your blog.

20. April 2008 at 16:23Reply to JERRY SCOTT »
Hello Jerry,
Well first 2 of the three sites are in Google’s index. They don’t rank for any term you might want to go after though. Two of the sites don’t have a well thoughtout title tag which is a very basic problem that needs correcting. Even the golf site is too distracted in terms of the title tag and focus of the site to do well with search engines or humans. None of the sites have much of any backlinks found pointing at them. I don’t need to go farther to let you know why you are not ranking. Moreover, you need to start applying at least some of the information I have shared for free here rather than ask me for a full website analysis for no less than three sites.
I recommend to people to pick one website and use it to go after a couple of big terms. You are trying to move three sites all at once which is probably preventing you from giving any one site the amount of attention it needs to rank well.
FOCUS.
Focus followed by clear action is required for success whether that’s online or some other venue. Figure out which site is the one you are most passionate about, which one will get you closest to your goals in terms of types of business (hard goods ecommerce or info product or affiliate site), and go with it.

Hello Dr. Owen,
I appreciate your stopping by and asking your question. I will warn you that a good coach tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. In your case there are several reasons why this site is not converting. I’ll cover some of the biggest issues:
You need to realize that ‘hits’ are not equivalent to unique human visitors. You need to get a good analytics package installed that gives you good data. Good news is Google Analytics is free and is one of the very best analytics packages I’ve used (and I’ve used a few - some costing my hundreds per month per site). With that you’ll see what your unique visitor traffic really is. I see you are well placed for ‘hillbilly clothing’ but the problem is that my sources say that’s not going to get you more than a couple visits a day. That low traffic won’t get you any conversions.
Moreover, I took a look at your site and there are some conversion issues. For starts the header is way too large. Your home page should be viewed as high priced real estate that you are going to get the most productive use out of. And the best of that home page real estate is at the top. So why would you chew up space that could be making you money with a header? See where I’m going?
Lastly, there are not enough products on your site for good conversion. A good ecommerce site has hundreds of products. Your site (without actually counting - I just took a quick peek) probably has no more than 50 unique products.
At a minimum, I’d re-design the site. To be honest if it were me I’d start over with a better package but you should at least redesign the header to shrink it to no more than 100 pixels high. Then move to a bigger market that’s still in touch with what you want to do like more of a country theme than hillbilly only. The purposeful broken English should be redone to something that has broader appeal. Then get a lot more products. There are plenty of drop ship fulfillment companies you can get more merchandise from.

Demae,
I sent you a personal email but I’ll also address your question here. SEO doesn’t care if your site is ecommerce or affiliate marketing. We have a nice mix of both in our program right now. Our case studies just happen to be ecommerce and info marketing right now. Many affiliate marketers play it ‘close to the vest’ and don’t want any publicity - so it’s harder to get them to talk. However, in my video with Frank Kern I show how just one of our techniques can help you win in the affiliate marketing game. If you didn’t watch that one yet, please do.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for stopping by! I responded to someone else just a bit ago who was also struggling with sales. While the two of you are in completely different markets, you are both suffering from similar problems:
On the last issue your header at least isn’t the problem but there is a lot wrong with this site. May I be frank? I don’t think it’s worth trying to continue to work with it. I don’t know what you pay for this hosted cart solution but even if it’s cheap, if it doesn’t ever produce sales (and it will struggle to produce even if you work with it) why keep it? You need a much better cart, a bigger market (go for a much larger jewelry niche) and a lot more products. All these things can be remedied which is the good news.
If you are interested in joining our program, I’d love to have you. Email me directly at nancy @ liveblueprints . com and I’ll tell you more.

22. April 2008 at 01:58Hi Nancy!
I came across your website through an email sent by Jim Morris of NicheBotClassic and I almost didn’t read it. I read everything and watched your videos, especially the one with Frank Kearn. I saw him on a Traffic Geyser video too. I just started affiliate marketing and Internet marketing 4 months ago with no background in any of this! I am a stay at home mom actually. My brother has a strong background in computers and helped me create TheBestTimeShareSolution.com site. The other site is company owned and to tell you the truth, I have not marketed that one much (but intend to).
I put a lot of effort into ALL the social bookmarking sites (now I realize that was overkill and time-consuming!), video (Traffic Geyser) and articles submission (1 Ezine Article, 3 Squidoos and no press releases yet) and have a blog at http://www.LuxuryTravel4life.TV. I call this my web channel. I link this as RSS feed when I can but most sites want you to subscribe to THEIR RSS feed. So I haven’t created a lot of links to this blog but it is indexed with Google. I have worked with my Title Tags, Meta Tags, content, HI & H2 and I have ranked with Google but not necessarily with the right keywords. I am trying out a new keyword right now..but realize I need to research more.
Anyway, I would like you to take a look and would appreciate your professional advice! My traffic is not where I need it to be and I have not made one sale! But I gave myself a long learning curve anyway and hubby supports my new found business!
Sorry for the length and thank you so much for your time!
Respectfully,
Janice

Hello Janice,
I reserve full site reviews for my full members. Site reviews are intensive matters for me. I did take a look at both sites and didn’t see either one on page 1 of Google for the key phrases I would have assumed you were going after by looking at the title tags and home pages. So in a nutshell what I can see is a need for positioning in the market.
You may want to consider expanding beyond the one program you seem to be promoting. And be careful about marketing a site you don’t own.
If you watched my video on social media you know now that I find a lot of social media sites a waste of time. There are more effective ways to get to the top and stay there. If you’ve watched my UG videos you have a ton of good information that you can begin to apply right now.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks so much for helping all of us out here in cyberspace and from a fellow Omaha native I really appreciate all that your doing.
In life I’ve discovered success and money do one amazing thing to those endowed with them, they reveal what kind of person you really are. So I say to you Nancy it doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to know you must be a really genuinely good person to have achieved success and the financial rewards that come with the internet, yet your willingness to help others is really outstanding. Your generosity says volumes about the caliber of person you are. So thank you for your assistance.
As for my story I’ve been online since 2002. During this time I must say I’ve learned alot. In fact it wasn’t until 2001 that I even knew how to “log on”. Thereafter I was forced by physical circumstances, (4 auto accidents in 5 years and was unable to do physical work as I once had) that I began this venture with a dial up connection of 28k and a 10mg memeory computer that crashed every hour or so.
Life changed everything I had known and I entered what I called affectionately a “do over life” . You see when I lost all ability to work physically and then being cleaned out financially in a very bad divorce, did I have to by circumstances roll up my sleves and go to work once again launching another business, one I nothing about how to lauch as I was “technologically challenged” to say the least as I didn’t even know how to type, to what I do today.
With abject poverty I as a single mom of 3 was subjected to what should have caused a nervous breakdown but it didn’t becasue of a strong reliance on my heavenly Father whose name is Jehovah.
So “out of the ashes” of my life I taught myself how to type and html and built a website, http://1stchoicefunding.com. During the years that have folowed I’ve listened to and bought all the hype trying to understand and utilize online marketing.
And that’s why I came to your site and video’s. I’ve listened to each one, taken notes and implimented the strategies you mention. However, I really need the walk through on the technical steps that you mention for the sites like Squidoo, Del.icio.us, Facebook, Stumbleupon, ect.
I read the 89 page ebook you sent and for a beginer that’s great but I need to know do you have an advanced “how to” for website owners that are doing everything, article writing, blogging, seo optimization, etc., etc.?
Can you give me some objective assessment of our site as negative feedback always makes us better if we have the humilty to listen, and belive me I don’t think my site is anything great, we’re just trying to be good at what we do and make sure those who are like I once was get the help they need.
Thanks again

Hi Marti,
I reserve in depth site reviews for my full members because they take so much time. But I took a quick peek and your color choice is dicey (nicest way I could think to say not good) given the unusual pinky taupe hues you use. The home page layout needs work and the way the navigation to specific product categories sits inside a box requiring you to scroll down is a poor choice form a human visitor perspective. I took a look at a category page and then tried to migrate to a product page only to find that the system you are using stopped me from seeing one page devoted exclusively to a product but simply changes a featured product box. This is a big problem because then you can’t rank individual pages for specific products. While I don’t have my members spend a lot of time chasing long tail, you do want products to be able to stand on individual pages so long tail comes naturally.
The one lesson that I teach most often is that you are not designing a site for yourself, you are designing it to rank well on the search engines and to convince your human visitors to take action (make sales). In applying that lesson we don’t focus so much on being unique or creating what we individually feel is a work of art. Rather we apply known principles that have been tested to work.
Your site, right now isn’t following those principles.
You need to be sure your site starts selling from the start, is easy to read (black on brown background is not easy to read), and is easy to navigate (the navigation in a box is not easy to navigate - I didn’t even realize you could scroll at first).
On the positive side I see some page rank flowing to the categories. I’m not sure what terms you are after but that can be properly focused.

Yahoo, MSN, and Ask love my site. Google ranks me high on just a couple of keywords…Bali Chains, sterling pendants and a few more. Will the Blueprint program show me how to change this or does it appear to be a “teardown” and start over situation with my site?

Hello Doug,
A quick check shows a very low deep link ratio which is important to rank well on Google but not important for MSN or Yahoo. I’ll bet without looking you have way too many links that say ’silver’ and ‘jewelry’. I’ve given out a lot of information here so you should have caught these issues. Changing a site’s deep link ratio and weighting of anchor text takes time but can be done. You will need to change the home page significantly if you want good sales conversion though. The lack of true product pages (all products show on a category page) is a big drawback. You need product pages to be independent of the category page. Finally the color black is not a good conversion choice.
I say often that the way the search engines work today you end up picking Google or the others to rank on. If you want real traffic, you pick Google. You won’t necessary be blocked from the others but you may slip.

23. April 2008 at 06:22Nancy, I am in extremely tough financial affiliate market.
I’ve been on the 1st pages of Google for a good numbers of keywords for a few months(position 1 to 3). However, all my listing vanished due to recent Google slap.
I would like to know if I am suitable to get this course. It seems to be back to basic, step-by-step.
But I guess I urgently need more personal guidance and coaching than anything. My main aim is to get back on the 1st page again. What did I did right to be on the 1st page and what I did wrong previously leading to Google slap.
And what I need to do now to get back to 1st page listing as soon as possible.
What do you suggest for someone like me? Is this course suitable?

Hi Sandy,
It’s not clear to me what type of site you are thinking of building. If it’s ecommerce (sell physical or information products) you will need a shopping cart to be able to process credit cards. We do have a hosted shopping cart solution we offer to our SEO blueprint members (it’s an ecommerce blueprint you join). If you are going to build an information site possibly catered to affiliate marketing, then a Wordpress blog will do fine for you. Within our blueprints (SEO and Business blueprint) we have step by step instructions for how to set a Wordpress blog up. And the nice thing is Wordpress is free software and it’s almost as easy as using Word or similar programs. We are very responsive to questions when our members hit a snag.
Realize that you will need to work a bit harder if your experience level is very light in the bootcamp. That said
