If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. like everyone else has. So you don't miss anything...
There’s been a great blog post written by Michael Martinez, Director of Search Strategies at 1st Query in Seattle, WA. Michael has been active in search engine optimization and the SEO community since 1998. I suggest you bookmark and read his blog, called SEO Theory.
Michael has laid out the tasks any competent SEO should be doing on a day-to-day basis for you in his post on Tuesday called SEO Checklist: Fundamental steps for every SEO campaign.
I wanted to take a few minutes to blog about it just because it’s hard work to build a system to doing anything and when someone is willing to give out that system they should be rewarded highly. If you look at every millionaire and billionaire in the world they all have systems to doing things…It is 100% those systems that have allowed them to become so wealthy. Once you have a system you have a map to where you are going. How could you ever hope to get somewhere you don’t know how to get to without a map?
Feel free to discuss this in the comments below:

HOLY CRAP!!! Jack and Howie hit it out of the ballpark this time! I was particularly interested in this report because I have been doing the search listing domination trick for almost 4 months now and teaching it to my students…However, I wasn’t smart enough to come out to the public with it like these guys did.
I did however present the technique at Russell’s seminar in Boise last week and everyone ate it up…These guys really have something powerful on their hands with their Bend The Web report.
Reading it…I kept cursing out loud at myself for not coming out with it first and how eloquently they presented the information. Absoultely, definitely, 100% the best report I have read - hell the best 29 pages I have read in all of 2007! No B.S. I am not being paid for this post.
I liked the report SOOO much that I spent the last 3 hours creating the “Bend The Web Toolbar” which Jack and Howie are more then welcome to claim full ownership of. I even made sure that it links back to their www.bendingtheweb.com site in the most prominent position possible.
I created the toolbar after reading the report realizing that many people will need and “all in one place” resource like this. Plus, I’m hoping to get on Jack and Howie’s good side! If you’d like to download the “Bend The Web” toolbar just click here for Firefox and here for Internet Explorer.
Note: Jack or Howie after reading the report I know will be seeing this post show up in your Google alerts…Drop me a line I’d love to chat it up with you guys. I hope you like what I have created, I had no bad intentions or tail riding in mind. I purely wanted to add value to what you guys are doing.

I can say this because I have done research that tells me only 20%-25% of the world speaks english, and unless you are already using keywords in multiple languages you are leaving tons of money on the table!
So how do you do your keywords in other languages? My good friends Kelvin Hui and Vince Tan just released a product to fill this huge niche. The software they created is called Keyword Anywhere and it lets you dig up keywords, sorts them by profitability, and also gives you the keywords in 13 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!!!
Take a look at this screenshot from YouTube to see how much in demand this product really is…
Head on over to Keyword Anywhere and get your package today before the price goes up. (They have a 50% off discount for the launch right now)

What if you had a report for sale that was about copywriting? Do you think you could sell it well if you had an advertisement front and center at the top of the largest copywriting forum in the world?
That’s site targeting!
The Google Adwords Site Targeting program lets you create the same type of ads as you would for a normal keyword targeted campaign, but now you get to pick almost any site in the content network to place that ad on…Without needing permission from the site owner!
I have used Site Targeting for almost 6 months now and have seen incredible results with it. Here is a free copy of a case study I wrote on site targeting about 3 months ago. (Value $27) I need to update this case study one day…I’ve seen triple the results that I talk about inside it since writing it.
Right Click & Save As To Download My Site Targeting Case Study
I’ve never released this publicly and I should probably be selling this…I hope you enjoy! Leave a comment and tell me what you think or any results you’ve had yourself with site targeting.

The easiest way to increase conversions, brand trust, and credibility is to simply have an 800 number for your business instead of your cell number or landline number. Anytime you can make yourself look like the bigger corporations in the mind of your customer you increase the likliness of a sale. You’d never call AT&T through a normal landline number, nor Apple, and it looks to me like they know what they are doing in the sales game!
I think people still have the notion that it’s expensive to set yourself up with an 800 number. However, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. It used to be expensive back in the late 90’s, but hey we have DVD’s, DSL, and satellite radio now. Technology is different nowadays and so are prices for old technology. Here’s a list of places where you can go get your own 800 number setup today…Psst, pick the one I have a banner for 
- http://www.freedomvoice.com
- http://www.ringcentral.com
- http://www.phonepeople.com
- http://www.instant1800.com
- http://www.value800.com
- http://www.tollfreemax.com
- http://www.evoice.com
Some features you might want to look for are auto answer, recorded greetings, voicemail by email, multiple extensions, and call forwarding. These all play their part in making you appear to be a large corporation when you might still be just working out of your house.
Another great feature that you might want to look for and I’ll talk about these in upcoming blog posts are voice blasting and the ability to just have a pre-recorded sales pitch play for each caller. These two services can become great sales tools and pick up conversions that other mediums could never have touched. I recommend using either eVoice.com, Kall8.com or FreedomVoice.com to get these extra “conversion scraping” features.
