30 Day Challenge 2008: Day 23 – WP Direct Content Software

Mike Law — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:54:13 +0000

I am not sure why but the 30 Day Challenge this year seems to have run out of steam a little bit. A lot of day offs and some days which are a bit thin on content. I am a strong advocate of never complaining when something is free and I find it humorous when people complain about free tools or training. However the 30 Day Challenge this year really seems to be about promoting Market Samurai and WordPress Direct.

30 Day Challenge 2008: Day 21 – More Google Adwords

Mike Law — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:44:09 +0000

Today GuruBob goes over how to find keywords for your Adwords campaigns using Market Samurai. There is another video going over a little more detail about running your campaigns. Again as I mentioned yesterday these really aren\’t the best video tutorials on Adwords around but they give you a rough idea of how it works.

Visit www.perrymarshall.com for a more in depth and accurate course on Google Adwords.

Finding Keywords For Your Adwords Campaign

Add Keywords To Your Adwords Campaign

Points to not from this video are that when split testing you do not need to switch an ad on or off to ensure the best ad is displayed as mentioned in the video as Google automatically displays the ad which has the highest CTR. You simply need to add as many ads as possible and Google will do the rest.

Also mentioned in the video is to simply add the broad, phrase and exact match of your keyword however that is not necessarily going to give the best results. If you have your keyword entered as broad match then Google will display it for keywords which it believes are related to your keyword which may not convert well therefore it\’s best to start off with exact match first and then try phrase and broad match if you have success.

30 Day Challenge 2008: Day 11 – How To Create A Squidoo Lens

Mike Law — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 09:07:07 +0000

Squidoo www.squidoo.com is a great place to create content and build links to your own sites, you should also get a fair amount of direct traffic. You should really try and create as many lenses and/or groups as you can making sure they are of good quality. You can also add your blogs RSS feed to your lens which is a great way to make sure your new posts get indexed nice and quickly.

They key is to make sure you optimize your lens your your chosen keywords in the lens title, lens URL and scattered throughout the lens. The more info you can add to your lens(es) the more traffic pulling potential it has and the more likely other Squidoo lensmasters are to link to it.

Also make sure you use the maximum number of tags which I believe is about 40, as each tag you use creates a back link to your lens from the Squidoo tags pages.

GuruBob also shows today how to find content on your niche using Market Samurai. The find content option of Market Samurai has a pretty cool feature which creates an RSS feed of content pulled from a large variety of sources which you can add to your Squidoo Lens.

Today introduces a new feature of Market Samurai which will locate content related to your keywords to help you create your own content. Also if you subscribed to Google News feeds and/or Google Alerts then you should already have some info which you can create some content on.

30 Day Challenge 2008: Day 3 – Competition Analysis

Mike Law — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:16:38 +0000

Today a new feature has been added to the Market Samurai tool which allows you to do some further analysis of the competition for your keywords. If you read my review of the tool you would have noted that one of the drawbacks were the fact it only gave you the exact match competition in Google which isn’t really enough information.

SEO Competition Using Market Samurai

This video explains how you can obtain a lot of crucial information on the top 10 ranking pages for a particular keyword you are interested in targeting using the Market Samurai tool. Data includes off page factors such as domain age, PageRank, Alexa Rank, Page back links, domain back links, .edu and .gov back links, DMOZ and Yahoo Directory and on page factors such as keyword in title, URL, description and heading tags as well as Google cache age.

SEO Competition The Old Way

In this video Ed goes through the original method for analyzing competition using the SEO tool for Firefox.

Overview of Day 3

Analyzing competition may be a bit overwhelming for newbies due to the amount of data which needs to be processed. Don’t let this put you off just concentrate on the main factors such as sites less than 3 years old, fewer than 100 back links to the page, less than PR3, no authority sites such as eBay, Wikipedia, Amazon, etc and you should have any problems ranking on the front page for your chosen keywords.

I think I can smell some Google Knols cooking in the upcoming videos

See ya on day 4!
