Today’s idea is about seeking out incoming links for the purposes of SEO. I think many people who are doing affiliate marketing will miss this out solely because the SEO approach doesn’t always appeal to them, and therefore are happier doing PPC advertising.

While I don’t deny that SEO is tedious and often boring, it doesn’t always have to be that way. There are examples of how SEO can be easy, and link building leveraged.

One way is to hire someone full time to do your SEO. This will include link building, article submissions, link exchange programs and the like.

The other way is to get yourself a web-based software program created or a theme created that you distribute for free with your anchor text (the words that you want to rank highly for) in the the program or theme. If this is useful, many people will actually be interested in it, and use it for their own benefit.

The daily routine here is actually in the first method. You need to find good directories to do submissions, and I talk about how it’s less effective now in SEO in my audio training located here. Still, just because it’s less effective doesn’t mean you can’t still use it. I know I do, but because it’s so tedious, I often find it a chore to actually do it myself.

I would like to suggest that SEO is a daily routine and if you want to do it, you need to take some time to optimize your site consistently. Traffic can then stabilize over a longer period of time.

At the moment, the contest has elicited quite a nice following, with many people starting out. I was actually planning an SEO education MP3. So far, it seems like I might be able to pull it off only next week when I meet Kelvin in Hong Kong. Well… have fun, you guys.

John Reese sent me an email broadcast regarding new phenomena on the internet. Apparently, Google is switching their goal posts, and will lead to Internet Marketer Mass Hysteria.

Basically what he mentioned is that Google may either be clamping down on click fraud and booting people out of their Adwords system (or forcing them to – that’s why some of you experienced SUPER high cost per click), OR they are planning to launch a Cost-Per-Action model, which is to say that you will now pay for Opt-Ins.

Well, those who rely on Adwords to drive their opt-ins will be in severe panic, but there are many ways to skin a cat, and fortunately, I’m very happy where I am right now. You can’t imagine how ridiculous it would be for Google to stab itself in the foot.

The fastest way is to tune in to three of the most highly reliable sources of traffic for your opt in lists.

#1 – Search Engine Optimization

If you use SEO, it will definitely assist you in getting search engine rankings, although I know most of you will struggle with it. I am in the process of writing (well… recording) an SEO guide, hopefully, you will be able to see it before my next flurry of training assignments falls on me.

#2 – Article Marketing.

Haven’t I said enough? Submit articles with targeted content and do that regularly. If you don’t know how, then go to www.InternetMarketingSingapore.com/articlemarketing for more information.

#3 – Offline Marketing!

You focus so much online that you forget that traditional media WIN OUT FLAT! I’ve my entire subscriber base created from word of mouth marketing AS WELL AS advertising and the like. Don’t forget offline marketing. I will be discussing some of this in my teleseminars and how you can use it to brand yourself.

BONUS #4 – Building High Traffic Sites.

If you are smart, you will invest up to two years cultivating HIGH TRAFFIC sites. Build a useful site for large numbers and then climb the search rankings OVER TIME. By the time you are done at the end of one year, you will have traffic that is worth talking about. I will talking about my Traffic Site theory in a teleseminar one day…

ÂÂ

So call it what you want, people can contact you for SEO services… if you post smartly.

So you see, most people ARE good at SEO. How good depends on how powerfully they structure their sites. I don’t have many resources, so I’m actually just playing for the fun of it (actually I was playing to get Ryan booted out… ahhaha)

Yay…

Hey – if you haven’t posted your question, remember to head down to www.IMAsiaHub.com/seo/ts.html straight away!

You can actually make over US$4000 from this competition, if you have been learning about SEO already. Those who are interested to take part, just set up your sites and optimize them for the keyword you see on the site (you have to go there and read for yourself).

This will be a good learning experience for those of you who wish to learn. And I tell you want I’ll do – I’ll run a series of teleseminars teaching you how to optimize a site… for FREE. How about that for being totally ludicrous?

To register for this series of teleseminars, all you need to do is to go to www.IMAsiaHub.com/seo/ts.html. I’ll only be able to have a small number of you, limited to 25, actually. So please register tomorrow when the site is ready.

So I knew there must have been some page rank update somewhere. I started looking, then decided to just check my site rankings for the heck of it.

Then voila! Under the search term “Internet Marketing Singapore”, the site is ranked #1!

So it proves one thing – it’s not difficult to be a search engine expert if you know the steps to getting it done! Heh… I think I’ll most likely be running a teleseminar to talk about this… very soon!

There’ sa special bonus for you, but I won’t be opening the registrations yet. First, I got all these darned schools to train, so the form won’t be ready (yeah, yeah – I’m supposed to outsource). Second, I really have an interesting prize for those of you who recommend 5 people to attend this free subscriber’s networking session.

It’s free, and my job is really to give as much value as I possibly can.

So my guess is that I will be teaching “traffic and list building techniques” during this event.

I’ll check out how this works out because I’ll be reserving front row seats for Platinum Members, and give out some Flow Charts on the process of list building.

I think the limit for this class is 80 people. We’ll see how when I officially launch.
