An Amateur SEO Tells
You How He Created
His
Huge Internet Success
 WARNING! I don’t
have a get rich quick scheme for you. For that matter, I
really have nothing at all to sell you because this is mainly a hobby site for
me. However, if you want some honest
information about how a novice built and marketed a very successful and profitable
web site in well under one year, then stick around.
My
name is Albert, and the name of this site is
ArticleSpooling.com. But the site is not just about article spinning and article
marketing. It’s really about what has worked well at getting lots of highly
targeted traffic to an ecommerce website that I own.
As I said, I
really have nothing at all to sell you. But I can offer some invaluable advice
for free. You see, a year ago I was a complete novice at this, and I didn’t
even know what SEO or article marketing was. Today I am the owner of a highly
successful ecommerce web site.
Now, I don’t claim to be an
SEO expert or guru. But I can honestly tell you that in well under one year,
I’ve been very successful at getting lots of traffic to my site without paying
for it. And I have a much higher conversion rate than many other sites on the
web. In other words, I’m well in the “black” and making plenty of money
with my site. And I'm going to tell you exactly how I did it.
My Background:
I’ve been in my own business since 1969 and I’ve had more than my fair share
of success at it. Since about 90% of all new businesses fail within 36 months, I
like to think that over the years I’ve learned how to rapidly adapt to a
changing marketplace.
2006: I
decided to morph my chosen profession into an Internet based business in Feb. of
2006. So I got a copy of FrontPage and I started building a website. At the same
time I started morphing my “product” for online consumption. It is the same
“product” that I’ve been selling in my professional office for many years.
In June of 2006, I retired from my professional practice in
order to focus full time on marketing my “product” via the Internet.
Right about now you are
probably wondering what my “product” is. My “product” is information.
But I’m not going to tell you exactly what kind of information it is, because
I don’t want my direct competitors to know how I took a brand new homemade PR0
site, and advanced it to a PR4 site by Thanks Giving of 2006 - six months time.
More importantly, I don’t
want them to know exactly how I got my homemade website to rank on the first
page in the Google organic SERPS for dozens of very important keywords, and on
the first three pages of Google, Yahoo, and MSN organic SERPS for literally
hundreds of different search terms. It has taken me well under a year, and many
of my competitors have been at it for ten years!
I don’t know it all, and
I’ll be the first to admit that along the way, I wasted a lot of time and hard
earned money on lots of Internet marketing software and lots of worthless
information from the “Internet Get Rich Quick Gurus.”
The Plan
This site will be an ongoing
“work in progress,” as I continue to learn what works, and what doesn’t.
Many of the links below don’t work because I simply haven’t had the time to
create the other pages yet. So you’ll want to bookmark this page and come back
often. You can save your time and money by letting me do the experimenting and
gambling with my time and money. Why should you re-invent the wheel?
There is a lot to learn. But
fortunately – none of it is rocket science. I’m going to reveal to you the
processes that had the most impact on my site’s traffic – and my income –
in the order of importance.
Article Writing and Marketing
I believe that writing
articles and getting them published on thousands of websites for free has had
the greatest impact on my site’s ranking and my income. But if you are not
aware of the downside of article marketing, you can quickly drive yourself out
of business.

Purchased SEO Information
Everyone wants the advice of
an expert, and I am no different from everyone else in that regard. I’ve
wasted more money on “SEO Expert Advice” than I care to admit to. I’m not
going to list all of the people that ripped me off with worthless information.
But I will reveal the name of someone that I feel gave me excellent advice. And
it was so cheap that I consider it as good as free!

Reciprocal Linking
Reciprocal linking was all
the rage for many, many years. While it isn’t as effective as it once was, it
still has its place. Even if it doesn’t have the effect on a site’s ranking
that it once did, it still gets me a fair amount of free traffic and sales. And
the links are free for the asking.

PPC – Pay Per Click Marketing
Pay per click marketing can
help to get your campaign launched quickly while you wait to get listed in the
Google organic SERPS. And I recently learned through trial and error that it can
even help after you’re ranking well. But BEWARE, you can easily spend far more
on PPC than you can ever earn, and drive yourself out of business and into the
poor house.

Free Radio Advertising

pursuing.

Copywriting
While this site is mainly
about getting a lot more traffic to your website, if you want to make money,
then you will need to convert that traffic to buyers and completed sales. The
only way to do that that I am aware of is through the language that you use on
your web pages.
