How Google PENALIZED My Sites for Selling Links (And It’s Not Exactly What You Think)

New to this site? Fill in your name and email to your right (where it says "Free Marketing Newsletter") and you will get my personal advice email newsletter to boost your online marketing profits. You'll also get FREE copies of several must-have eBooks and software -- to take your online business to the next level.

Yes, that’s true. I got caught by Google for selling paid links.

You are probably already aware that Google is taking the obvious measures against paid links.

I have a couple of niche web sites; some of them hardly got any traffic, but they all had nice Google PageRanks. There was a time I was selling paid links with Backlinks.com which made me a small stream of income every month.

However, one day I woke up and saw a popular site of mine dropped from PR 3 to PR 0.

“It must be something wrong! I never used any blackhat SEO methods!” So I checked my other sites.

But to my surprise that all my sites listed in the Backlinks.com are down to PR0. Then I realized that I’ve got a PageRank penalty from Google. …Click to Continue →

Why Giving Away Value for Free Can Actually Make You More Money

free1Before I start, let me ask you a quick question here: would you work hard at giving your work away for free?

Maybe you wouldn’t, because your father told you “Don’t work for free”, right?

But have you ever wondered that why there are so many people doing just that on the Internet? We can see that free stuffs are everywhere: free reports, ebooks, software and various free services…

Here’s the real truth: not only these people are making money, but they are also making staggering money just by giving away free stuffs!

They give something away for free, which opens up a huge buying opportunity.

If you ever read the latest book “Free: The Future of a Radical Price” by Chris Anderson (the fame of long tail theory), you will get the idea that everything will be free - ultimately; and $0.00 is the future of business.

And in this post, you will clearly see where the magic happens in the giving process, and learn the exact steps to take unfair advantage of this phenomenon and make decent profits.

In case you don’t know, let me introduce you to Cialdini’s law of reciprocation: people generally feel obligated to reciprocate when they receive gifts from others.

The law states that whatever you do will be returned back to you. If you can give away value and help people, you will get far more than you gave.

The 99% of people who fail to make money online because they don’t follow this law. They simply try to hard sell to everybody.

And if you can give something to people first, the obligation for people to give back will massively boost your selling and marketing efforts.

Here is the game plan: …Click to Continue →

My Top 4 Fail-Safe Internet Business Models

Let me ask my most *IMPORTANT* question to you:

Are you focusing on proven and profitable business models, in a STRATEGIC way… Or just chasing after opportunities?

The sad truth is, MOST of the “How To Make Money Online” products on the market today are incomplete. They are just individual pieces of the bigger picture.

And in today’s post, I’ll reveal in detail that how these models work, and whether you should choose them or not.

Firstly, I need to mention 2 models I personally DON’T recommend…

How to Use “Link Pyramid” Structure to Boost Your Search Engine Rankings

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is maybe  by far the most confusing traffic-generation strategy when you’re just starting out.

Sometimes, you may have wondered that why your sites have so many backlinks, but still couldn’t get the high rankings as you expected.

To explain this, SEO guru Jonathan Leger introduced his “link pyramid” theory that you need to make your site’s link structure look nature in Google’s eyes.

We all know that all incoming links are not created equal. Links from authority sites are much more powerful than links from niche blogs, general directories or blog comments.

But does more authority links always mean better rankings? The answer might not be what you think.

To make it nature, you want to construct what he calls a “link pyramid” for your site.

This pyramid is a 3-level structure of links: 1) your base links, 2) your mid-range links and 3) your highest quality links.

The SUREST Way to Make $10,000+/mo As an Affiliate… (Guaranteed)

Imagine a person is looking for a review of a particular product and finally  get your review site… he reads your review, finds it honest, useful and what does he do next?

He buys the product through your affiliate link.

And you get the commissions for that sale.

What they’re looking for is a mixture of proof and reasons. They want their money in good use, so they want someone to help themselves internally make the decision for the purchase.

You DON’T spend unnecessary time or effort trying to chase your visitors and pitch them.

Your review sites are just driving “buyers”for you!

One guy called Chris Rempel has used this EXACT review site strategy to build a $100,000 business in 6 months.

As Chris says, “In some cases with this strategy, the sites that generate what most would consider a full-time income get just 70 visitors a day or less.”

When I firstly implemented this tactic, I turned one of my $20/mo old sites into a $200/mo money magnet - with 2 hours work.

I simply copied some of the content on the product sales page, changed the site layout based on the keywords I researched, then I promoted the site.

Technically I didn’t make any reviews at all!

However, I’m so amazed to find out that review site traffic is so profitable that it’s almost GUARANTEE to sell.

It IS the simplest way to profit online, if you ask me.

Why I Think Creating Review Sites IS the Surest Way for Me to Get My $10,000/mo Goal on Auto-pilot

Let me tell you the difference between a super Internet marketer (the top 1%) and an average marketer (the remaining 99%)…
