Page 1, 2 and 3 in Google for “John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0″ …

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?

The first thing I have to tell you is that the blog post was not a fabricated nicety to get votes … It really came from my heart because a) I was narked about all the emails I had received overnight going on about how “bad” the videos were.  Like I said in the previous post, “who cares!” I really do not expect home made video standard from someone like John Reese …  and b) John Reese always seems to inspire and motivate me to do so much more and, he doesn’t discourage you from entering the Internet Marketing space either.

His videos made so much sense as to why people were struggling online and I still believe that every struggling and newbie Internet Marketer, whether you are promoting Internet Marketing products or your own niche product or service, go watch the videos. 

I’ll probably get a few copycats now try to push me out of my no. 8 spot in Google but, I really want to hightlight to you that hitting the first page of Google does not have to be that hard … not all the time anyway.

The first thing to note is my title … It’s not your boring “Go Watch John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 videos.”  I was controversial … I wanted to know if these other marketers really thought that people would watch the videos for their “wow” factor.  And, I’m still asking this question!

The second thing was I had the keywords in the title and early on in the blog post.  Despite people saying keywords don’t matter, it does!  Google may not give them as much weight as good quality links, but they are still interested in serving up relevant results for their searches.  Can’t do this without a combination of a sensible distribution of keywords and, similar words … synonyms!  My English teacher will be proud.

Third, I made use of my tags.  It took me a long time to get this, but many people search social networking sites as well as Technorati using tags so though a late adopter, I do focus on adding tags to my blog posts and pages now.

So what about the overnight shift from page 2 to page 1?

I stayed up until 1:00am submitting my post to the social networking sites using Web2Submitter … even got a little “slap wrist” email from NewsVine for submitting my own article … so don’t do it!  They were very forgiving though and I really didn’t know not to submit my own article.

After I used Web2Submitter to submit my post to the social networking sites, I headed over to Jonathan Leger’s AutoMarker software and submitted it there too … after I voted for a few sites though and now, I enabled others to vote for my post.

I could kick myself though since I’ve had Web2Submitter for months and never used it and, I was one of the very first to sign up to AutoMarker and never used this either.  It’s like breaking up the foundations of a wall with a hammer when right next to you is a jack hammer.  If you’ve ever had to take on this task, you know what I’m talking about.

Anyway, I’m not going to go into detail right now about either of the above two pieces of software I mentioned because I know that on both sites, the authors have a great video explaining what they do and how to use the software.

So, throw down the hammer and grab your jack hammer now!
