As a business owner online who wants natural organic listings in the search engines, your main objective is to please Google and play by their rules. The reason being, Google are the biggest search engine with about 60% of the market share and generally, if you rank well in Google, you're likely to rank well in MSN, Yahoo and the other search engines.

Most of the traditional search engine companies focus on ensuring you have the right keywords as well as right keyword density on the pages of your site (on page factors), whereas Google relies more on a linking structure or backlinks from other credible sites (off page factors), to determine how relevant your page content is to the term that a searcher online types into Google as well as how credible your site is.  

See http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html for more information on how Google's linking structure works and how they determine the credibility of your site.

Now, the problem with just focusing on keyword placement and, contacting other website owners to ask them to link back to your site is that some website owners will want to charge you to have a link on their site nowadays which, can actually get you into serious deep waters with Google … though a long-standing debate, it's not all bad but again, you need to play by Google's rules if you want to pay for links.

It's true, why should I promote John Reese's Traffic Secrets 2.0 course, especially after my last blog post about stuffing big product launches?

And, I've already had one enquiry today asking StomperNet or Traffic Secrets 2.0 and I'll be honest, both are fantastic but for value, it has to be John's product in my view.

But, let me answer my own question … why should I promote Traffic Secrets 2.0?

It's simple really … "without traffic, you don't have an online business!" 

It's like opening a retail shop and no one popping in even to browse.  And, John knows how to get those browsers and, turn them into buyers.

In other words, whatever you sell online, if there is a demand for it, John knows how to get you more business.  It doesn't matter what niche market your business is in.  The course will take you step-by-step through the process of generating and increasing traffic. 

Traffic Secrets 2.0 is all about…

• Social Media Marketing & Strategy
• Advanced Content Syndication
• Cutting-Edge Video Marketing & SEO
• Leveraging Software & Widgets
• Setting Up Automatic 'Content Factories'
• Building An Affiliate Army
• And so much more.

I've just received Marlon Sanders newsletter and I have to say, I just love the guys down to earth style and his honesty.

Marlon Sanders has been making money online before most of us set eyes on a PC and yet, he's the non comformist.  Rarely do you see Marlon involved in huge product launches, his products are often in the reach of most people's budgets and, they are often nicely packaged in a step-by-step video format.

In his current newsletter he refers to three online marketing models that I know most of you will be able to implement without having to put a further strain on your marketing budget.  

Ensure you take particular note of the 3 models Marlon refers to in his newsletter and ask yourself how you could use any of the three strategies to grow your online business, attract more clients and to earn an extra $1,000 per month.

You also have to check out the information about Google and using Gmail … kinda scary …

The other day I was reading a forum.  Several guys had gotten 100 visitors and not made a sale and wondered what was wrong.

How did I do it?  Get page 1, 2 and 3 listings in Google for John Reese's Traffic Secrets 2.0 preview videos?

It wasn't actually deliberate since I decided that every one of my readers needed to watch those preview videos whether they intend purchasing the final product or not.  I'm still not sure what this product is by the way … a home study course, membership site … no idea. 

Anyway, before going to bed last night, around midnight actually, I decided to go see where I was in Google for the term "John Reese Traffic Secrets" - without the quotes by the way.  I was kinda shocked to see I was on page 2 of Google:

This morning when I checked, I was on page 1 of Google for the term "John Reese Traffic Secrets," page 2 for the term "traffic secrets 2.0" and page 3 for the term "traffic secrets."

Not bad for just one post eh?  But still, what did I do bearing in mind every man and his dog seems to be blogging about this upcoming program right now?

I woke up this morning to a myriad of emails from any and everyone promoting John Reese's new Traffic Secrets course and practically every one of them harping on about it being the best videos they'e ever seen.

Now, I've watched both videos and personally, I'm not interested in promoting some "look good" videos … Who cares!  Quite frankly, I don't expect home made videos from someone like John Reese.

But, what I am really interested in my readers and my subscribers taking note of, is the content. 

It is simply fantastic and full of useful tips that you can not only implement immediately, but that you SHOULD be using right now when marketing your online business.

Basically, unless you have more traffic, more clients and more money than you can handle, I would suggest that you don't be lazy and go and check out the new Traffic Secrets preview videos right now!

Yes, after a series of these videos John is going to try and sell you something, but you don't have to buy!  John makes this clear in the videos.
