Using Cornerstone Content to Acquire Word of Mouth Links

I’m sure you’ve heard this phrase more than once: “Content is King”. Yeah, well, what does that really mean? I don’t know the exact interpretation of the one who penned that phrase but what I do know, is that without a king, there is no kingdom. Without cornerstone content, your website is just another domain name in the vast sea of great, quality information throughout the web.

You see, there is nothing ‘good’ that gets noticed in the web today.

Only what is ‘exceptionally great’ will get real attention and spread out.

Linking Strategy – The Google Alerts SEO Trick

If there’s one thing you should know about search engine optimization, it’s this – backlinks count (a lot!). So every time you complain why your ranking are so low or why you rarely get any search engine traffic, the obvious thing to blame is probably your relatively little backlink count.

More than just the number, the relevance and trustworthy-ness of your backlinks is taken into consideration. One backlink from, say, CNN weighs a thousand times more compares to those from spammy websites.

Taking this into consideration, we know face this problem – how do we really get quality backlinks?CONTINUE READING

The Death of Sales Letter – A Review

Rummaging through my ‘blogging folder’, I found this interesting free report by Michel Fortin of the Success Doctor, Inc. The title of this report is quite controversial – about the death of sales letter. If you still haven’t read (or heard about it), then you’re surely missing out a lot.

The Death of Sales Letter has been released sometime around 2007. With the title itself, you can just imagine the kind of hullabaloo it caused in the industry especially to copywriters, internet marketers (who heavily relies on good copies) and even SEO practitioners that optimize sales letters and landing pages.

Who is Micheal Fortin?

As Michel puts it, he is “a copywriter”. But apparently, this kind of description needs to be attributed to the people he works for, namely; John Reese, Frank Kern, Kirt Christensen, Armand Morin, Shawn Casey and Stephen Pierce- simply the biggest names in the internet marketing industry. And if you don’t even know any of them, you’re living under a very, very big rock.

The Weakness of Traditional Search Engine Optimization

It’s easy to spot the weakness of traditional SEO- it focused too much on trying to crack the system rather than work with it.

If you’re not familiar how Google, for example, gives split-second results to your every keyword inquiry, the method is actually more science than the infamous “I am feeling lucky” button.

Why Writing for search engines will get you nowhere

People always think that SEO is all about being a suck-up for search engines in order for them to rank you well in the search engine results page. Well it doesn’t work that way. At least not anymore.

Search engines are machines. They’re a set of codes created and piloted by search engineers. In the end, they only follow the logic and reasoning of human beings. And in the end, human beings only consider what is human to be a win.

Learn SEO Copywriting

Copywriting is the art of writing to sell or promote something. We’ve seen and read copywritten materials in magazines, newspapers and fliers. Those paragraphs are carefully woven together by their local copywriters. And then the internet and Google came along.

Copywriting is not enough in the internet. If you want your article to be viewed by readers who are looking for information that you have, you need to be visible in the search engines. How do you do that?

It’s called SEO Copywriting

Search is still the biggest game in town – and right now that town is getting more and more crowded. Any survey will tell you that search is still the top activity that people do in the internet. It is still the most common online activity even up until now. Face it, everyone’s looking for something, someone or somewhere these days.

SEO copywriting makes sure that your content is Search engine friendly. It doesn’t just create quality articles, it creates quality articles that search engines love. Articles won’t matter unless the search engines gobble it up and tells searchers “Hey buddy, this is what you’re lookin’ for.”
