Linking isn’t dead, though some think it’s not as important as it once was. Not true! Search engines consider that links pointing back to your website from other sites are “votes” for your site. They’re links from new content you’re putting out on the Web, they’re links coming from quality directories, and they’re links coming from people just thinking, “Hey, cool blog,” and linking back to you naturally.
Of all the types of links coming back to your site, the last kind is what search engines love best.
The links that aren’t as effective as they once were (though they probably still carry some weight) are reciprocal links, as in “I link to you, you link to me.” Just a couple of short years ago, this was great to do and webmasters were busy sending letters to sites in their niche trying to get all the reciprocal backlinks they could.
So, that’s no longer an option. If you want great search rankings, it’s OK to do some of this, but getting that natural “Oh, WOW!” link is the best.

I’ve done some advertising with Google AdWords, but it usually ended up being more expensive than it was worth. Oh sure, I got optins and sales, but they were either break-even or only marginally profitable. I don’t have that “special code,” I’m afraid. It takes a lot of trial and error to make it work really well than I have to spend at this point. I mean, I know I can make it if I focus on it and nothing else. But remember, I work for Tellman. 
But…
Working for him has its perks. Well, lots of them actually, not to mention he’s a great guy. (In case you don’t know, he’s running across the country for Homeless Teens and well… in his bare feet. Pretty cool… go donate at http://RunTellmanRun.com. It’s a very worthy cause, and well… bare feet, people!)
Anyway… Tellman got me to go through Frank Kern and his cousin Trey’s “Screw Google” course, and I have to say that it’s great! It’s short enough to run through in a few hours, and the information inside is easy to follow and really spot on. It’s typical Frank Kern style, of course, and he’s one of the LEAST boring people to watch no matter what he’s doing. He just has that kind of personality that makes you smile. (It’s a no-brainer that he and Trey are cousins, either. They even sound alike. Both of them are good at teaching and keeping things light.)
The course is based on PPC advertising with Yahoo, and I have to tell you that after having worked the AdWords stuff for OE and myself, I find Yahoo to be 1) less anal and 2) far less expensive. My most expensive click to date has been around 12 cents. Plus, I’m getting tons of optins and I don’t have a mega keyword list, either. I have a very select group of keyword phrases that I’ve tested and know work for my & Tellman’s product, Spider Language, which (in case you don’t hang here regularly) is a basic course on SEO. continue reading »
I just finished watching the video that Frank Kern made with mind movie guy, Ryan Higgins. Nothing new there–visualization. We’ve been hearing all about the for the last couple of years, since The Secret came out, right?
And some people think it’s a bunch of crap.
OK…
Feel sorry for you.
I know it works. I know I’ve experienced it. And if you’re not at least keeping an open mind about how the universe works, you’re missing something totally powerful.
So Ryan made these 6 movies about health & fitness, money, relationships, etc. and he says to watch them twice per day… when you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night.
OK… His movies are cool, but they aren’t MY movies. You know? His are pretty cool and general so they might work for anyone, but I have very specific requirements, my friend. Not just any house, any place to live, or any amount of money will work for me. Hell, no! I think about these things every night before I go to sleep. So, unless MY things are in a movie, hmm…
Need to go make a movie.
But… if you don’t want to take the time…
If you want these 6 movies, you can go and watch Frank Kern’s FREAKY MOVIE or just go to http://MindMovies.com and sign up. I get nothing for telling you this. I’m not an affiliate. This is just something I’m into and feel very strongly about.
Knowing what I want has changed my life.
But…
Not because I sat back and waited for the Universe to just go about doing its thing.
I knew what I wanted and took action that led me to the changes in my life. It’s a THOUGHT + ACTION deal. You can’t just sit back and wait for things to come to you.
It’s like the lottery. If you don’t buy a ticket, you can’t win. You can sit there and wish for the money to come to you all you like, but without that ticket, well… Wish in one hand.
Nada happens.
Have definite, positive thoughts, make your affirmations, take action, and watch how quickly you move! The whole thing just rocks out loud in your face!
