Still trying to figure out the effect of videos

February 9th, 2010

It’s been a while since I made my last blog post, mainly due to loosing my motivation.
All these guru’s keep telling me it’s so easy, but I’ve not been seeing the financial results.

Anyway, I’m not going to give up and I want try adding videos to various sites to find out if having a video embedded on a different site has an effect on a primary site.

I’ve used Animoto to create this 30 second video clip for a limousine hire company.

I’ll let you know how I get on, If you have any ideas for me, please feel free to comment.

Finding Long Tail Keywords

September 18th, 2009

keywords tool

It isn’t really viable for newbie Internet marketers to compete for the most popular key words through pay per click campaigns due to the cost, but we can compete by being smarter in our keyword research and utilizing long tail keywords.

By long tail keywords, I mean, either phrases that people are currently searching for, or very detailed searches such as an exact product id.

I’d like to share some advice from Andrew Hansen of Firepow, on his technique for
Google keyword research

Can I Get A Website to Page 1 of Google Day#4

September 14th, 2009

Google Page 20090914 limo hire coventryDay #4

Two videos posted to You Tube using long tail key words ‘limo hire coventry’ and within a few hours both are on the fist page of Google.

Sure you have to select the video option, but the first video has had 50 hits in only 24 hours, so video is an important part of a marketing strategy.

Now I have to keep writing articles, creating backlinks and optimizing the website to get that onto the the first data page.

Can I Get A Website To Page 1 on Google? Video Diary Day 2

September 10th, 2009

Day #2 of my case study to see if I can promote a limousine hire company to page 1 on Google for specific key words.

Today I’ve been concentrating on backlinks and have created a Squidoo site /black_hummer which reviews the history of the Hummer, from military vehicle to iconic luxury transport.

If anyone gets a moment, I’d appreciate it if they could visit and rate the site for me.

Any feedback would help.

I’ve also started article writing, with the first one, ‘Want to hire a limo in Coventry’, published on Go Articles and bookmarked using Dropjack.

Pretty time consuming, but part of my plan.

Black Hummer H2 I’m pretty sure many of my fellow Alex Jeffreys students are only receiving a tricke of traffic.

We’ve learnt so many traffic generating tips over the last 6 weeks and maybe the Internet marketing niche is a hard nut to crack.

I want to prove that what we are learning works, so I am helping a local business promote their limousine business.

I’ve been set a task to get the web site for American Limousine Company onto page 1 of Google for the key words ‘Limo’, ‘Hire’ and ‘Coventry’. » Read more: Does This Traffic Building Advice Work?

How To Improve Your Google Page Ranking

September 2nd, 2009

Hi everyone,

Things aren’t going as well as I’d hoped with the list building, but I’m a newbie that’s not going to give up and today I want to let you know what I’m doing to get things back on track;-

Alex Jeffreys says if you have a problem, you need to ask yourself a series of questions to find a solution.

My current problem is that nobody has signed up for the eBook on my “Profit Pulling Platform”.

So I asked myself why?

These are my reasons / excuses that I need to resolve;

  • Visitors to my blog are primarily Alex Jeffreys students that are blog hopping; as such they have an identical product.
  • My PPP is ranking on the third page of Google, so nobody is finding it.
