The Internet Marketing Spy

When you get into internet marketing, other marketers confuse you by telling you that you need to follow some complicated algorithms to trick Google and other search engines into liking you. I fell for this time and time again until one day, when I was reading a document written by one of my favorite (read the only one I’ve easily made money with) guys on the Warrior Forum.

I already knew that ways to get “link love” for higher rankings was to post on sites like Blogger or Squidoo in addition to forums, blogs and other sites. But something about the way he worded this document resonated with me and made be start actually thinking for myself instead of following someone else’s plan.

You see, the main thing that people never tell you about IM is that you are ALWAYS piggybacking on the success of someone else. Most IMers are a bit ADD when it comes to their online endeavors. Grabbing at straws, mixing up techniques when trying to get their offers recognized, but really all you need to do is find out who is already getting noticed by search engines or their followers and attach your site to theirs.

So for example, let’s say you see a YouTube video about something related to your niche. All you have to do is post a meaningful and polite comment below along with a link back to your site or offer. If the person who made the video doesn’t have a link in their description, you can even contact them and ask to pay them to put your link there! How easy is that? You have a popular video endorsing you. Pretty cool, huh?

Think of how many other ways you can do this. Instead of sweating away at building a Squidoo lens, target the one that already is popular and would love to see your comments. Always be polite when you leave comments because the lens owner can delete you if you’re a schmuck.

Put a book on Amazon? Why not visit a popular book and say that that book is great, but another great book is…. YOUR BOOK!

If you haven’t gotten the idea of what I’m saying here by now, then I’m not sure what to say. In any case, start putting these techniques into practice now, and watch your visitors grow daily!
