Novice SEO Tricks That Produce Lots Of Free Traffic To Your Website

Be forwarned! There is no fast way for you to get fantastic rankings and lots of traffic to your site inside of ten seconds, like all of the other so called Search Engine Optimization Gurus who fill your email inbox claim. But then again, if you believe all of the hype that they regurgitate, you might still believe in the tooth fairy or that the earth is flat.

However, if you want honest information about how a sheer amateur built and marketed a very successful, profitable website in well under one year, then stick around. This article is really about what has worked exceptionately well at getting mountains of highly targeted traffic to an ecommerce website that I own.

A year ago I was a complete novice at this, and I didn’t even know what Search Engine Optimization, reciprocal links or article spooling and marketing was. Today I am the owner of a outrageously successful ecommerce website.

Now, I don’t claim to be an SEO expert. But I can honestly tell you that in well under one year, I’ve been very successful at driving huge amounts of traffic to my website without paying for it. And my ecommerce website also has a much higher conversion rate than many other sites on the web. In other words, my site is well in the “black” and making plenty of money.

Here is a little background on my experience: I’ve been an entrepreneur 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, and many established businesses fail regularly, I believe that over the years I’ve learned how to rapidly adapt to a changing marketplace.

I decided to morph my profession into an Internet based business in Feb.. So I installed a copy of Microsoft FrontPage and I started building an ecommerce site. At the same time I started morphing my “product” for online consumption. In June, I was 59 and I retired from my business in order to focus full time on marketing my “product” via my ecommerce website.

You might be wondering what my “product” is. My “product” is information. But I’m not going to reveal to you exactly what kind of information it is that I sell, and I’m not going to send you to my website because I don’t want my competitors to know how I took a brand new homemade PR0 site, and advanced it to a PR4 site by Thanks Giving – a six month time span.

More importantly, I don’t want them to know what I did to get my homemade website to rank on the first page in the Google organic SERPS for lots of very important keyword phrases, and on the first three pages of Google, Yahoo, and MSN organic SERPS for literally hundreds of different keyword phrases. It has taken me well under a year, and lots of my competition has been struggling at it for up to ten years!

I’ll admit that I wasted a lot of money and time on a lot of Internet marketing software and lots of worthless information from the “Internet Get Rich Quick Gurus.” At the same time I’ve learned which software packages are productive and worth the investment.

HOW I FOUND SUCCESS ON THE INTERNET – ARTICLE WRITING AND MARKETING

Many people use link trading to promote ecommerce sites. I myself have traded links with others in my industry. However, it is my belief that writing articles and getting them published on thousands of competitor sites for free has had the most profound impact on my ecommerce site’s search engine ranking and my income. But beware: If you are not fully aware of the downside of article marketing, you can quickly drive yourself out of business.

WHAT MAKES ARTICLE MARKETING SO EFFECTIVE?

It’s simple: 1. The fastest way to good rankings on the major search engines is to have a lot of one-way links from other on-topic sites to your site.

2. When you write and publish a good article to another site, your “payment” for the use of that article is one or more links from that article back to your site. The more articles that you publish, the more free one-way links pointing back to your site. The more one-way links from other on-topic sites, the better your site will rank in the organic SERPS.

3. If you are capable of writing a good article, you can set yourself apart as an expert in your field. Well written articles will create a lot of validation for you in the eyes of the public. And a well-written article is one of the best ways to get qualified traffic to your site. That’s because people will read it, and if you’ve built their trust through your article, they will click your link to see what you have to offer them.

NOW FOR THE MONKEY WRENCH – AVOIDING THE GOOGLE DUPLICATE CONTENT FILTER

If you want to be successful then you must get your articles onto hundreds or even thousands of other websites. Google doesn’t like content that has been duplicated on other websites. So in the event that you have an article on hundreds or thousands of other websites, Google can find the identical articles and only give you credit for the links in one, or maybe a few of the published articles.

So in reality, in order to get the most benefit from your articles you will need to create a different well-written article for each website. But it is almost impossible to accomplish that, right?

Well . . . . Thanks to modern computer software, articles can be spun, spooled, or re-written automatically using software. And indeed, in 2006, article-spooling software began to emerge on the scene.

Unfortunately, most spooled articles are worthless because the articles that the software creates on full autopilot can be totally laughable. The grammar and syntax is very often all wrong. And people who read them usually think that they were published by a three year old. And because of latent symantic indexing, the Google algorithm can also pick out and ignore your articles as well.

However, if you create an article that has been well-written to begin with, and then use the spooling software correctly, the software can re-write your article into hundreds or even thousands of unique, high quality articles that anyone would feel proud of. And more importantly, the articles will be more than unique enough to avoid the duplicate content filters.

If you don’t like to write, if you do not have the time, or don’t have the expertise, you do not need to worry. You can purchase PLR (private label rights) articles and spin them! But you are always better off if you can write your own articles.

I’ve used desktop article spooling software that I paid about $200.00 for, to create these kinds of spun articles, and it works great. As I write this page, I still do use this software for creating articles that I submit to article directories. The upside of this is that each article directory gets a unique version of the article, and this version won’t get filtered out by the duplicate content filters. The down side is that as other webmasters take these articles from the article directories and publish them on their sites, most of these re-published articles will get filtered out. But they will still increase the traffic to your site as people read them and click your links.

Published articles will usually produce a lot more referrals if they are published on your competitor’s website! But it is usually somewhere between very difficult and impossible to recruit other competitor webmasters to publish your articles. So that relegates you to submitting directly to article directories.

HERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS!

There are some affordable Internet sites that allow you to use their article spooling software right on their websites, to create dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of unique articles. Some of these sites will even let you try out their service for free. It is easy to learn and to use their software. And the benefits of these services are almost too good to be true. Let me tell you a little bit about these services.

To start with, the best part about these services is that they can take your article, and they can spin an unlimited number of unique versions of it. Then they publish a different unique version of your article on hundreds of on-topic websites. These articles are so unique that a duplicate content filter will not filter out these articles. So you will get the benefit of all of your back links for ranking purposes.

This is real efficiency. We are talking about the ability to get your well-written articles published on hundreds of your competitors and your peer’s websites practically overnight. To make the situation even more attractive, when your articles are published on another site, they won’t publish that Webmaster’s articles on your site. This will eliminate reciprocal linking and will net you hundreds, or even thousands of one-way links.

Unlike most article directories where the number of links you can place in your article are very limited, these services allow you to put up to 5 keyword rich links in each of your articles. It’s best to have each of those back links go to a different page on your site, not just to your home page.

You should make the links appropriate. So if your article is about baby furniture, and you are talking about cribs, you’ll want to link to a page about baby cribs on your site. If you are talking about playpens, you’ll want to link to a page that features playpens, etc.

The plans for the future on some of these article spinning sites are to spool your unique articles to thousands of on-topic blogs, and into hundreds of article directories automatically. And remember, every submission will be unique as far as the duplicate content filters are concerned.

Don’t get carried away, because this is not a 10 second fix for the huge job of publishing hundreds of unique articles and submitting them to hundreds of article directories and potentially thousands of your competitor’s websites. If you believe that something like that exists, then you probably still believe in the tooth fairy.

You still must be willing to put sufficient effort into creating well-written professional articles. And then you must be willing to put sufficient effort into creating the synonym words and phrases that the software requires to spool your unique article. But believe me, you could not do in a year by manual means what these services can do in a matter of mere hours.

Here is an example of what can be accomplished: I wrote 4 different articles on different kinds of information that I sell. And after only twelve days on one of these services, my articles were on 242 different competitor site on-topic web pages.

You can do the math! With 5 links in each article, one to my home page and 4 to different deep linked product pages on my site, that’s nine-hundred-sixty-eight links in only 12 days! And I began to see some of those links indexed by the major search engines within that same time period. A little mathmatical extrapolitation will tell you what will happen after a month, 3 months, a year, etc.!

JUST HOW HARD IS IT TO SPIN ARTICLES USING THESE SERVICES?

It is very easy to use the software and a 9-year old child could learn the process. You will learn to use it within a few minutes.

Many of these article spinning services will allow you to test out their service for free. They give you a 30-day money back guarantee. You will get to try it for a full month to find out how much it can help your site to improve its traffic before you are committed to having to pay for the use of the software. I highly recommend this type of service and you will want to give it a try!
