How to Find Hidden Keywords That You COULD be Ranking For

Written by Leo on June 10, 2010 - 23 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

About a year or so ago, Grizzly casually mentioned his modus operandi when it comes to ranking for keywords.  Basically, he said that he writes long ass posts and from those posts, finds hidden keywords that he could use to boost traffic volume.  And that is pretty much all he said about that.
Now, for those [...]

Cut Out The Middle Man….Make More Money….(or why adsense doesn’t pay)

Written by Leo on May 20, 2010 - 25 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

The “numbers” in this example won’t impress.  But the strategy and methodology behind it may.  I have said repeatedly that if you are relying on adsense solely for your income, then you are cutting yourself short.  In this post, I am going to prove it using an recently underperforming/retooled hubpage to illustrate this.
The bottom line [...]

Your Best Back Linking Opportunities are Right in Front of Your Face

Written by Leo on March 22, 2010 - 7 Comments
Categories: SEO For Marketers, internet marketing strategies

I think that most of us make our lives way harder than they need to be.  And getting back links is one of those things that can not only be frustrating but intensely boring.  Finding them is one thing.  Then there is the “work” of adding a link.  Then finding another one…..add the link…and so [...]

Ifs, ands, and buts….

Categories: internet marketing strategies

Excuses.  That is what I see all the time.  Things like I don’t have time to write content.  Things like if only I knew ____(the secret that they think successful internet marketers are keeping to themselves), then I know I could make it online.  Things like I need to learn more before I step out…things [...]

How to Improve Your Hubpages Earnings

Written by Leo on February 24, 2010 - 12 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

I was reading a recent blog post that Court wrote in regards to improving earnings on Hubpages. This could also relate to a number of other parasitic hosts as well that can rank fairly quickly out of the box such as infobarrel. They can also work for literally any web2.0 property that has [...]

There is No ROI in Social Media…or is there?

Written by Leo on February 22, 2010 - 6 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

A couple weeks ago, I read a post (wished I could find it now) which made the claim that there is no ROI in social media.  This, of course, caused a rather intense debate (although somewhat one-sided since there are more social media pundits online than the latter) on whether this was true or not.
This [...]

Categories: internet marketing strategies

I don’t want to get into an ethical is it right or wrong to write misleading ad copy and what you should or shouldn’t do when building copy that produces debate here.
Personally, I think you can write good, strong ad copy that doesn’t mislead without doing it in a way that is “soft”.

My Take on Scarcity and Value

Written by Leo on February 12, 2010 - 8 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

Frankly, the whole subject of scarcity annoys me.  It annoys me because most people think of scarcity only in the most black and white terms. Marketers have pigeonholed it into a way to scare people into purchasing their product or in the very least to make a decision right now, rendering it less effective [...]

Online Marketing is Not Just about Making Money Online

Written by Leo on February 4, 2010 - 10 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

You can operate a business online and still not be an online marketer…..
You can make money online and still not do internet marketing…….
There is a difference between the two, ya know. Most brick & mortar businesses, even the successful ones, don’t have marketing plan for their business.  It is an afterthought and most of the [...]

Making Money with Blogs vs. Making Money with Niche Sites

Written by Leo on January 21, 2010 - 16 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

Court put up a couple very pointed articles on his blog just recently that suggested that niche sites were the better route to go for the majority of people out there. Now obviously, his view on it is a bit slanted (he sells a course that promotes making money with niche sites) but [...]

The Sticking Point and the Visibility Factor…

Written by Leo on January 7, 2010 - 9 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

When it comes to promoting your site, while what I am about to say is not necessarily practical, it is important. And hopefully, after I say this, there will be enough light bulbs going off in everyone’s heads to light New York (actually, I would be happy with one, single “A-MEN”)

What if what you believe will make money online is wrong?

Written by Leo on December 15, 2009 - 10 Comments
Categories: internet marketing strategies

If you are like most of my readers, you would naturally assume that most make money products are scams or geared to the unwittingly ignorant people who truly think that they can make $1,000 of dollars doing nothing more than twiddling their thumbs 4 hours a day. But what if I were to tell [...]
