Posterous Support

As part of the Challenge, I set up a posterous account to tie together seven sites for posting articles relevant to a niche I had build a site around. It was easy to set up and worked marvelously. I could get content out to my network sites that contained a link to an article I was reviewing and just one link back to my main site. I set it up exactly as Ed Dale had recommended and it helped me get ranking for some long tail keywords fairly rapidly and retain them.  I wasn’t using it for spam and I recognized that some of the sites were no-follow but I was willing to be able to post to seven sites at a time with unique, useful content.

Then, last month, it just stopped working.

What’s So Damn Funny, Jeff?

I get something almost every day in my email that always puts a smile on my face. It’s an email by people I’m sure are imaginary at some supposed SEO Firm.

Why does this make me laugh so much?

OK. Let’s suppose for a moment that there really is a human that went to one of my sites who is a site promotion whiz. Let’s further say they actually filled out the contact form and didn’t have a bot search for “contact” on my site’s homepage and auto-fill the contact form fields. Why does this person think I would have ANY confidence in their site promotion abilities when their first point of contact with me is a form, spammy email to me?

I mean could they possibly show me more convincingly how much they DON’T get it if they tried?

Do you get these emails?  Do you laugh at them like I do or do you just feel sorry for them?

The one inescapable fact of internet marketing is that in order to make sales you’ve got to have traffic and in order to get traffic you’ve got to have backlinks. Google pays a lot of attention to who you link to, who links to you and the anchor text that is used in the linkings. You don’t want to submit your site to a pool and hope that the links are quality and relevant. You need to have control over your link building in order for it to be most effective.

Google Adwords Keyword Tool

People who are starting a blog, looking to increase the traffic or subscribers to their blogs or looking for affiliate marketing opportunities hear a lot about SEO, keywords and backlinks. We are told that Google likes pages that are unique, relevant and optimized for keyword phrases that people are searching for.

Sounds pretty simple, huh?

I just read a post by Jonathan Leger entitled “Google Link Analysis 101” where he shows a quick method to see how many searches are being done for a keyword phrase using the Google Adwords Keyword Tool and then do a quick competition analysis with the Yahoo Site Explorer.
