SEO Mentor

So I recently wrote an article for my good friend Ron Hudson at his new blog SocialMediaMastermindTulsa.com. The article was titled SEO Meets Social Media and I really put a lot of time and effort into the article. Here are some of my favorite points from the article:

“Here is the problem though, most people think SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is hard and is too technical to understand. As for Social Media, many of you think it takes too much of your precious time. Here is what I have to say about all of this. “GET OVER IT.” Okay, so that was a bit harsh, but come on, if you had a way that you could combine both of these wonderful techniques to drive thousands of targeted visitors to your website and to totally crush your competition, then would you at least spend one (1) hour a day on it? Well I sure hope so!”

So I love the part where I tell everyone to “GET OVER IT” cause it is so true. We all are busy but yet we all want to make money as well, so get over yourself and get to work.

In the article SEO Meets Social Media I gave 6 amazing tips to help you really take your business to the next level using SEO and Social Media to get more website traffic, build relationships, and find the most qualified prospects in your market.

SEOMoz recently came out with the new 2009 Search Engine Ranking Factors report that is full of some great insights on what the search engines are looking at with the algorithms. Now you can disagree with all or some of what the report represents but you have to admit that it is a great report regardless.

You can find the full report at http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#ranking-factors

Here is what SEOMoz says about their report:

The following ranking factors were rated by our panel of 72 SEO experts. Their feedback is aggregated and averaged into the percentage scores below. For each, we’ve calculated the degree to which the experts felt this factor was important for achieving high rankings as well as the degree of variance in opinion, estimated using the standard deviation of the contributors’ answers. Thus, factors that are high in importance and low in contention are those where experts agree the most that the factor is critical to rankings.

The Search Engine Ranking Factors in the report focuses on the following factors in regards to SEO:

• On-Page (Keyword-Specific) Ranking Factors
• On-Page (Non-Keyword) Ranking Factors
• Page-Specific Link Popularity Ranking Factors
• Site-Wide Link-Based Ranking Factors
• Site-Wide (non-link based) Ranking Factors
• Social Media/Social Graph Based Ranking Factors
• Usage Data Ranking Factors
• Negative Ranking Factors
• Factors Negatively Affecting the Value of an External Link
• Geo-Targeting Factors

The scale that the results are based on is by importance:

Hey, my friend Raymond Aaron has just posted a “video posctard” I wanted to share with you.

It’s about goal-setting, and why most people are setting their goals the wrong way.

He has a way to do it that guarantees you ALWAYS achieve your goals.

I know… I was skeptical too.

After you’ve watched the video, though, you’ll be blown away.

As in, “I can’t believe it’s that easy.”

The best part is, he tells you his complete method for setting goals. It’s VERY different.

And he holds NOTHING back:

Learn from none other than Russell Brunson himself on the new concept of Micro Continuity

I had the opportunity to travel up to Boise to see Russell Brunson present to a small group of people his new Micro Continuity program that is changing the online marketing scene. I have never seen someone so passionate about a marketing concept. The best part about it is that there is many people trying Russell’s techniques and it is working like gangbusters.

To watch Russell’s video visit Microcontinuity.com

If you don’t have a product online or you already do, then this simple method that Russell teaches will take that product to the next level. Continuity is essential in making money online these days and it doesn’t have to be hard, and that is why I recommend Micro Continuity with Russell Brunson.

The crazy thing is…

that Russell is semi-retiring to go out for the 2012 USA Olympic wrestling team. You’ll have to watch this short video to understand why:

Microcontinuity.com/fight

So back to the new program! Russell Brunson reveals a POWERFUL new system for getting a mini-membership site up and running in less then 24 hours! If that doesn’t get you excited I don’t know what will. The best part about it, is that the system is so easy to follow that anyone can do it and do it with a very small budget.

Russell revealed this system for the first time 3 months ago. Back then he sold it for $2,497 and it sold out in just 1 minute and 47 seconds… but now you can get your hands on this new video showing how it works for FREE (until he pulls the video down).

So go watch this video now – it’s absolutely free – but go fast (last time it was only online for less than 2 minutes)

Have you ever asked yourself this question? I mean be serious here. I just wrote an article for Search Engine Journal called, “The Top Ten Reasons Your SEO Sucks” where I talk about the main reasons I have found why people struggle with getting the rankings and results they deserve.

Here is my favorite reason:

3. The next reason may be due to us misinterpreting what we read or learn from the so called experts or gurus. Just because you read something doesn’t mean it is correct or that it will work. I am sure I have said or written some things that have been incorrect or misleading. Just because something works in one market or niche, does not mean it will work in your area! So take what you learn from others with a grain of salt and make sure you are not making the next mistake.

So check out the article and see if you agree with anything that I wrote I think you will find something that you are either doing or have done in the past!
