The Low-down on Getting the #1 Google Position

By Owen Jones

If you haven't yet automated your article submission, it can only be for one of three reasons:

1. You don't want or need any additional free visitors to your website, because you cannot handle them,

2. You haven't seen my previous articles, or

3. You still haven't appreciated the power and incredible value of this system. i.e. how this will dramatically boost your profits.

If you fall into category 1, then please move on from this article, it doesn't apply to you.

Otherwise, please take a few minutes to read this article thorough, as it could literally mean the difference between success and failure for your Internet business this year. You see, people like to make things complicated, but making money online is actually really simple. It does not matter whether you are marketing your own product, promoting affiliate links, or making money from Adsense or "click flipping", it all comes down to just two things:

Conversion and Traffic.

Conversion comes first. You need to have an offer that people want. That "offer" might be a product, or it might be an enticing advert (e.g. Google Adsense) that people want to click on. And you need some kind of presentation (such as a sales letter) that encourages them to take the action that you want them to take (eg buy the product or click on the advert).

In many ways this is the easier part. Most people can put together a half decent website or sales letter that will turn at least some visitors into money.

But then, of course, you need visitors. Busfuls of them. The more people that you can get to come to your site, the more money you will make; especially if those visitors re highly targeted. But, given the number of websites online: all competing for the same visitors, just how do you get more visitors to your site?

Well, there are just three ways that traffic comes to your site:

1. Visitors type your address straight into their browser. That results from some sort of off-line promotion: it may be your business card, a radio advert, an article in a magazine or a conversation with a friend.

2. People click on a link. It may be in an email they received (eg from a friend or from an ezine they subscribed to) or it may be on another website they have visited.

3. Or they do a search in a search engine, see your website in the listings, and click on the link to visit you.

And that is it. There is no other way for them to get to your website.

So, if we know that, how do we get more traffic? Easy:

1. Promote your Internet presence in all your offline promotional materials.

2. Get lots of people to place a link to you, and lots of people to send out emails with your link in it.

3. Get a top position in the search engines.

Yes.., sounds simple doesn't it, but maybe it is not so easy in practice? Just how do you achieve steps 2 and 3 without spending bucketsful of cash or getting your site banned by the search engines?

To understand this, we need to work out how the search engines operate. Once again, this is much easier than people think.

All search engines want lots of people to search them. In order to achieve that, they try to deliver relevant and up-to-date content to the people who make a search on them. But how do they work out what is relevant to the search?

There are only two ways that they can achieve that:

1. They scan your website and, using very sophisticated algorithms, they work out what the subject matter of your website is. The also look at how new or old it is, how recently it has been updated and so on. These are all known as on-page or on-site factors. You have direct control over many of these factors when you set up your site.

2. They 'consider' what other people write about your website. In doing that, they look at two factors: how many people have links to your site (and what those links say) and also how important are the sites that link to your site. An important site of 'authority' that points to you is worth more than a whole list of unimportant sites. They also consider how old the links that point to you are, and a number of other factors about the value of the link and the context in which it is used.

At the same time, the search engines are constantly on the look out for websites that attempt to fool them into thinking that they are more relevant or more popular than they actually are. Which is why the so-called 'black-hat' techniques quickly lose their effectiveness.

Therefore, to get to the top of the search engine lists you need to do two things:

1. Optimize your on-page factors. There is plenty of information online about how to do that. It is not difficult. But, in itself, it is also not enough.

2. Get lots of high-quality, one-way, relevant links to your site from as many other 'important' sites as you can.

So, how do you get people to link to you?

1. Have a fantastic product so that they just, spontaneously, want to tell others about your site.

2. Pay them to link to you - buy a text link, or offer an affiliate program.

3. Swap links with other websites - but reciprocal links are clearly not worth as much as one-way back-links and it is a lot of work to do this effectively anyway.

4. Provide them with fresh, unique content that adds value to their site in return for which they agree to post a back-link to you. Many sites are constantly looking for fresh, unique content. They get this content by traipsing through the article directories or by subscribing to article submission services.

So, if you send out articles to such directories, your articles will end up both on the directories themselves, AND on the niche sites that pick up and use our articles. AND some of these are likely to be valuable "authority"-type sites. Of course it depends on the quality of your article who picks it up.

So, there you have it, the last method is the simplest and most effective. It gives you hundreds or thousands of one way back-links, from relevant, niche sites, all for free. All you need is some way to get different, unique, articles to each of those directories and ezine publishers, which is, of course, exactly what our software does.

But wait! We don't stop there. The real power behind this method comes when you use it regularly. Preferably at least once a week. Imagine getting 200 to 1800 new permanent one way links every week! By the end of a year, you could easily have 50,000 or more relevant, quality, one-way links to your site! And you can connect the submission process to a timer to put everything on autopilot!

That is the real power of this system's software and that is why it beats every other traffic generation and SEO system there is.

So, unless you don't have an online presence at all, isn't it time you harnessed this power for your own business? Click on our link below now to get the early-bird discount and get a fantastic bunch of bonuses:
