HowToRankHigh.com features my tested techniques to help your site ranks high on Google and major search engines.

I am in no way associated with Alex Goad product but found he got some good points in this video commenting case against duplicate content.

I have written and performed some tests in one of my earlier articles “Is there A Penalty For Duplicate Content?”

It is good to continuously learning from the industry on different views, so again, here is the link to the video by Alex Goad:

Happy New Year everyone!

It has been a tough year 2009. To beat the recession and close the largest deal for the company at the last 2 weeks of 2009 is totally a roller coastal experience for me… Enough for the side track ; )… now back to the topic of the day.

This has been the biggest question of all time. Actually the guaranteed way to make money online is not difficult but requires your HARDWORK.

Below I outlined the exact step by step “how to make money without using your own money”:

1. Go to Digital Point forum (http://forums.digitalpoint.com), register as a new member if you have not.

2. Once you log in as a member, goto the search.

3.  Follow my arrows in the picture below and click search:

By performing this search, you are able to find in the past 3 months, what are the most Want to Buy (WTB) items by the forum members. It can be a service or product.

4. On the result page, here comes the most important part, if you are already an experienced internet marketer, you can refer to the most viewed topic to brainstorm some ideas what to sell.

For example, in the screenshot below, you can see forum members are looking for some scripts. If you are a programmers, work toward this direction. Else, you can always post the job on elance.com or goto your local university to look for fresh IT students to help you to develop the script and then resell back to this forum.

5. For Newbie, I want you to do the other way round, under the same result page, click on the  “last”.

And, the results are you will see a lot of “job” here unanswered. For the start, you can consider to help to write articles at $3-$5 per article, you can help post comment, you can help posting some videos on Youtube as requested.

As long as you are hardworking, this is just one of the many things you can do to make few hundred to thousands on the internet.

Once you are comfortable with this and save up enough capital, then you can move on to other activity like PPC which requires money to make money.

Make a goal NOW and take the action to make money online. Don’t give any more excuses!

Hope you enjoy my first post of 2010 and Happy New Year! : )

Was amazed with the fireworks and the numbers of cameras/ camera phones I saw ;p )

I stumbled to this blog titled “An Open Letter to the Desperate Link Spammer” accidentally.

It is about a blogger complaining a spammer who has used some nasty techniques in order to rank high over the keyphrase “Nursing Board Exam Results”.

What the spammer is using, he built tons of backlinks from blogger.com

Here is one of the examples. You can see the whole blog only contains 3 outbound links with no content at all. The anchor text “Nursing”, “Exam Results” and “PRC Board Exam Results” are used to provide backlinks to his website.

In fact, he has a whole list of this kind of spammy blogs:

Google seems like not bothering about this method (judging the blog survives since Jan 2008).

Eventually, the ranking results for keyphrase is the proper blogger remains No 1, surprisingly the spammer ranks No.2

And, look at the spammer’s backlinks recognized by Google:

Is this method works? That’s what I plan to find out. Stay tune….

For newbies to make money online, they are always looking for the “right” product to promote.

Q1. The question is what is the right product?

Q2: Where to find it?

Q3. Once you have found the right product, what is the key phrase you want to rank high on major search engines?

My answer to Q1:
The right product must be able to solve problem(s).
Remember this, whenever someone uses internet, they are looking for information to solve a burning issue. And, they are hoping to get the information online and willing to pay if the info/product/method is proven to be able to solve their problem. Therefore, a good product must: (a) can solve a problem (b) you or someone can testify it works. 

My answer to Q2:
To find the right product, you must be able to find what is the problem someone wants to solve.

A quick way to find it is to use EzineArticles.com

EzineArticles.com contains a section where it features the Top 30 Most Viewed Articles of all time. Here you can see what is the information people is looking for.

 
To 30 Most Viewed Articles (http://ezinearticles.com/?type=mv)

For example, the top three articles are:
1. Free Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Websites – Do They Exist?
2. The Best Sexual Positions: The Top 5 Mistakes Most Guys Make
3. Free Cell Phone Number Search

As such, you can understand why the Clickbank product “Reverse Phone Detective” has been the top product to promote.

 
“Reverse Phone Detective” as all time No. 2 top product to be promoted according to cb-anlytics.com

In EzineArticles, you can also find the Most Viewed articles for the past 90 days underneath every articles. This will give you a good idea what are the hot topics around a certain niche.

The other way is to use 43things.com

Goto the www.43things.com and look under “Need Inspiration?” section, click on it and you will get to see the top 10 goals (or problems) that one urgently wants to solve. By the way, someone says goal is actually problem in disguise. Can’t agree more with that..

For Q3,  regarding what keyphrase to rank high for…

Just use Google keyword tool at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal 
Enter the website URL into the the Web Content section.

In this case, I use the EzineArticles URL (http://ezinearticles.com/?Free-Reverse-Cell-Phone-Lookup-Websites—Do-They-Exist?&id=638191) and you can see the number of keyphrase generated!

Summary, by using this method, you should be able to find quickly what are the real problem people wants to solve, find a product that solves these problems and use the right keywords to promote the products.

Yup, it is that simple. Don’t over “complexification” it. Let me know what you think ; )

It has been a while I did not act sarcastic.. it doesn’t look like me ; )

So, here comes my August 09 | Rank High blunt review on “The YouTube Secret Exposed”:

http://www.theyoutubesecretexposed.com (screenshot as per 24 Aug 09)

The expert teaches people how to rank high on Google and YouTube, but too bad all his own YouTube videos have been removed due to terms of use violation.

The feeling must be equal to the most embarrassing moment of the year.
