How to Get Hundreds of First-Page Rankings without Cheating

by Tinu

Getting search engine traffic without the SEO pains

So how do you get hundreds of first page rankings? Are you expecting me to say Pay per click? If so, you must be new here. :-D  

Am I going to tell you to get ranked for lots of terms that get no traffic? Nope, sorry, not that either.

Here’s what you need to do. You need get someone to help you find a traffic-ready content deficit that matches your industry, and learn how to exploit it. Now, normally exploitation is a bad thing – but in this case, there’s a specific party that Wants you to do it. You’ll never guess who.

No it’s not me. Yes, I do hope you ask me to help you find your content deficit one day soon. For now, I’m just happy you’ll know what to ask for, and glad to help you shave a year off your learning curve about search engines.

So who wants you to exploit content deficits?

The search engines. Yes, Google, and Bing actually would love to give you a first page ranking. So why don’t you have one?

Because you’re probably trying to bend the search engine rules to fit your site in, instead of bending your search strategy to fit the search engines. That, or you are attempting to win a race by starting at the finish line.

There is No Spoon, Neo…

It’s time to change the way you think about search.

Most people will think, “I want to rank number one for marketing.” They’ll find out that top sites ranked for marketing get around 3,878 visitors per day and proceed to direct every waking moment to capturing this term at any cost. They think if they make their site SEO-perfect, the visitors will follow.

The belief is that ten times more traffic from “marketing”- or only optimizing your pages for “marketing”- will equal ten times more clients. And even if this weren’t a highly inappropriate, unlikely term to capture, that ratio probably isn’t true in this case. General terms tend to bring browsers instead of buyers.

Be the person who thinks “I need 4000 more visitors this month – what are the best ways to get them.” not “I must rank number one for this, and only this term.” You’ll likely make more money and have fewer headaches to boot.

Go Beyond SEO: Is it more search engine traffic you need- or more sales?

by Tinu

If you’re faced with more traffic from search engines, or better traffic regardless of source, what do you choose?
The truth is, the question of more search engine traffic vs. getting quality traffic from anywhere, is not necessarily an issue of choice. The fact is, you can shape your traffic building to be in line with building better search engine results by combining the two tasks under one philosophy, Search Engine Simplicity.
The concept of Search Engine Simplicity is geared towards getting the most amount of traffic, from search engines and elsewhere, with the least amount of daily effort.

Why constantly chase algorithms and tweak your site to pursue a single number one page ranking for a specific term, when you can rank on the first page for the entire keyword tree of several hundred keywords, with less effort?

This is the technique we employ at Leveraged Promotion. The irony? In the long run, you get those first page and number one rankings anyway…. and many of the rankings in-between. We’ll show you how to turn that traffic into more sales.
