How To Maximize “Unique Article Wizard”

June 2, 2011 By Michael 8 Comments

If you’re doing anything based on rankings and search engine traffic, then you need backlinks. But the days of easily “bulldozing” your way to Page 1 with a zillion “profile” links or blog comments are gone. Google’s February 2011 “Panda” update has re-written some of the rules, such that your backlinking efforts need to be more considered and intelligent.

Specifically, “link diversity”, relevance, and position have become much more important. In this post, I’ll touch on all three of these attributes, talk about one of the best tools for ranking in this ‘new world’, and give you a free report on how to best take advantage of it. The tool I’m referring to is “Unique Article Wizard”.

Unique Article Wizard (“UAW”), is an extraordinarily potent resource, and if used properly, can boost your rankings all by itself. I used to refer to it as my “secret weapon”, having used it countless times to achieve top rankings for page after page after page.

Quickie: Easy Flipping Formula

April 28, 2011 By Michael 3 Comments

One of the easiest and most self-contained ways for making money online is website flipping. While there are many avenues or strategies to pursue, such as buying inexpensive sites, boosting them, and reselling them, for this quickie we’re going to go over a quick and easy formula for building and selling new sites.

This strategy revolves around quickly building unique content sites, and flipping them right away. Using this method, you can expect to get $100-$200 per site, for about a day or two work; if you are good, or able to optimize your efforts, you could realistically produce these sites in about half a day.

To understand this strategy, it helps first to understand the website auction marketplace. While there are a number of venues for selling websites, such as eBay, digital point, and others, we are going to focus our efforts on the Flippa. This is in part because it is the largest auction venue, and in part because it will be the ‘easiest’ in terms of buyer sophistication.

Backlinks, Ezinearticles, And “Farmer” Update Critical Observation

March 9, 2011 By Michael 2 Comments

If you’ve been in Internet marketing for much time and rely on search engine rankings, you know the significance and importance of back links. Among Internet marketers, “article marketing’ has been a mainstay both for direct promotion and traffic, and for gaining backlinks. However, Google’s “Farmer” update – really “Panda” – has significantly changed the rules. It’s also caused a lot of confusion, and there is already a lot of mis-information and bad assumptions.

One of the websites used extensively for article marketing, and one of the sites cited as most profoundly impacted by the new update, is EZA (Ezinearticles.com). In one fell swoop, they’ve lost as much as 50% of their traffic (by their own estimates). Deemed a “content farm” by some, EZA was long considered the ‘strongest’ of the article directories, both for it’s strength in getting top rankings for it’s articles, and the relative strength of it’s links for backlinking purposes.

How to Beat Googles “Farmer” Update

March 6, 2011 By Michael 11 Comments

Google recently rolled out a significant update to its search engine algorithm called Panda, although many in the SEO world have termed it “Farmer update” because of the impact on so-called “content farms”.

While the title of this post might be a bit misleading – think of it as “link bait”- the aim is to help understand the impact of this update and compensate accordingly. You might also notice this post is considerably longer than previous posts; we’re implementing the same changes we suggest below!

Understanding the Update

We’ll begin by trying to understand what the update is. You can read Google’s official announcement here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html. According to the announcement, the update “is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites”. They define these as “sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful.”

Cool Tool: Copytalk

Write an article – or ebook – over the phone with Copytalk!

Regardless of the particular business model, making money through Internet marketing involves content. Whether it’s website content, articles for backlinks, blog posts, etc., creating content is a given. Beyond website content, one of the best ways to profit in Internet Marketing is to have your own product – we’ve all heard this before. But this is where a lot of marketers get hung up.

There are plenty of ways to generate this content, from buying & editing PLR material, to hiring a copywriter on Elance. One way is through voice dictation using Dragon Naturally Speaking (which will be the subject of an extensive review soon).

Here’s a new, interesting, and (potentially) free method: dictate it over the phone!

Quickie: Foreign Language Ebooks

February 11, 2011 By Michael Leave a Comment

I had written this article a while back for my ‘other’ Internet Marketing blog, but feel it’s an even better Quickie now than it was, and a great opportunity for making residual money online. Since Clickbank now has categories specifically for foreign language products, and there is far more demand than supply, it’s a “sellers market”, particularly as there are affiliates aching for products to sell.

This one can give you an extra few hundred dollars each month, and once it’s set up, runs entirely on ‘auto-pilot’ …

Repeat Revenues From Foreign Language Ebooks

Step 1 – Go through your ‘Freebies’ folder and open up each ebook or pdf, and read through the licensing rights.

* (If you don’t already have one, you should create a “Freebies” folder on your desktop. Keep all the Private Label Rights (PLR) and Resale Rights bonuses and give-aways you get – use them for your own bonuses or opt-in give-aways)

Quickies: $4000 From $37 Using PLR

February 2, 2011 By Michael Leave a Comment

Note: The idea behind Quickies is to get you some of the many really good money-making and money-saving ideas I’ve developed or come across, as well as examples of well-executed strategies, quickly. Hence the name!

Many of us have a boatload of PLR (Private Label Rights) material collecting dust on our hard drives, but I would guess very few of us know how to, or go to the trouble to monetize it. Yet PLR can be one of the most cost-effective ways to generate revenue.

I stumbled across a forum posting entitled “$27 PLR product made me almost $4000?, and it caught my attention. The post was clear, concise, and most importantly, repeatable by anyone.

Unique Article Wizard: A Powerful Ranking Tool

January 28, 2011 By Michael Leave a Comment

If you’re after search engine traffic, you need rankings. And if you’re after rankings, you need backlinks. Ideally, you want an ever-increasing number of backlinks, from diverse sources.

While there are plenty of tools for getting backlinks and automating the process, there is one that has occupied a permanent place in my arsenal – in fact, I sometimes refer to it as my “Secret Weapon” – Unique Article Wizard.

Unique Article Wizard, or “UAW” is essentially an article distribution service. With a monthly subscription, you submit articles, and UAW then distributes them to a huge network of article directories, blogs, and other recipients. But what makes UAW so much more powerful than a ‘straight’ distribution service like iSnare is that each article sent out is ‘original’.

The Keys To Sustainable Income

January 24, 2011 By Michael 1 Comment

The focus of this site is on making money online – sustainably. I don’t know if it’s a ‘sign of the times’ in terms of the whole economic picture, or simply human nature, but there seem to be an awful lot of “Magic Bullet” products being launched & promoted. Perhaps it’s the lure of “instant” income, or “money for nothing” i.e. no work necessary. Unfortunately, one thing all these ‘solutions’ have in common is that they aren’t sustainable.

Shortcuts, “Black Hat” methods, loopholes – all of these eventually fall victim to Google’s never-ending efforts to improve their search results – and Google isn’t the only one. This invariably results in these methods or products no longer working. For those seeking the faster, easier way, the reality is that it often takes far more effort having to constantly chase the next loophole or tactic than it does to do things “right” from the beginning.
