How important is my textwork?

How important is my textwork?

Text is important, a constant supply of text can do things for you that nothing else can do. It allows you to get inside the head of your customer before he even hits your page. Sometimes, years before he even knows he is into something, you have had him targeted out with some quality descriptive text about something he was interested in. Now he isn’t going to hit your page, after searching for something and just drool over a few pictures. He has a definite, qualified interest, I mean he ASKED FOR YOU in the search engines.

He deliberately went to that search engine, and typed in ‘fat black dicks’, we can bet that he’s seen a few before, and the chances of him being a first time ‘fat black dick’ fan is pretty slim. So when he does hit your page, he is going to do so with some interest. This is qualified lead, way better then just clicked, he’s already made 2 ‘yes’ moves by searching, then clicking onto your site. Qualified leads are what get quality ratios, these are buyers, these are guys who we can sell a ‘fat black dicks’ membership too. It’s like running a Nike shoe store and a guy walking in asking about runners.

Let’s not lose that incredibly targeted, pre targeted and well planned out click that we spent the effort to get.

I pick out what my customers want months/years before they know they want to buy it. I can seek out specific interests, and offer them a deal for exactly what they want, and have the deal done before they even knew they were looking. It sounds crazy but this is what you USE blog text, and blog posts for. You run an affiliate blog, you generate traffic so you can sell them things, its a whole bunch easier if you sell them what they want, and its easy if you have nice targeted long tail search terms (from properly done text work!).

It’s not used for filler, or shouldn’t be ‘just’ spider food, it needs to be more then that to really make a difference, and for you to really see the value of it. It needs to give that surfer a nudge, he got to the site ready, it’s our fault to fuck it up and lose that sale/surfer to another site.

I need to bash this into my head everyday, I’m not saying I do it perfect and probably slack as much as the next, but the more I remember it the better my commissions and earnings are. That is how you get blogs that are converting at 1/100 to 1/200 on SHITTY days. That is how you build and run blogs that earn money.

Knock Knock Knocking on Yahoo’s backdoor.

20 Oct

As I mentioned in a prior post about my early days trying to reverse engineer other seo’s stuff, to learn the tricks or figure out at least some proper building and linking strategies, I stumbled across a way to make it into yahoo’s back door. Yahoo search results weren’t what I was expecting to get either, but was a sort of side-effect of how I built my early pages. For a couple reasons, Yahoo’s bot really loved my stuff.’

For almost 3-4 months, I had reverse engineered some of the top seo’s rankings, I scoured over the first pages of serps and studied, big dick pages, blowjob sites and any other web pages i saw ranking in the top 10. I had wrote down websites I figured were all in the same persons networked, and basically mapped out all the players. It was fairly evident that back then, just a few years ago, that there was only about 4 or 5 major players, and then hundreds of “one offs”, people who ran single sites with deep rich, authoritative pages.

Now although I was getting a real good idea how the networks all worked, I didn’t have link power or page history to work with (wasn’t smart enough then to buy old sites), but I had all the other pieces, I had unique text, relevant links and was utilizing a new thing called blogs to push my content out to the masses through many different means. I actually solidified it one week when I built a bunch of blogspot.com blogs. Using the blogspot domain I added something to my domains and sites I couldn’t make. I added some trusted domain and aged links to the sites. Of course the sites and links were new, BUT they were on an old trusted domain, blogspot.com.

Now doing all them sites on blogspot really bumped things for me in a couple ways. Like I mentioned above, it gave me a trusted domain to push links from, and it also gave me this new neat thing called Atom, or RSS to syndicate the content to users. So after completing a bunch of fresh blogs, I headed out to several sites that were just beginning to offer services that allowed users to monitor and be updated, when an RSS feed was updated. One of those places who first offered this type of service to users was Yahoo.

This is where it all got interesting for me. I was running links and building sites to Trafficcashgold.com sites. Seehersquirt, CastingCouchTeens, Tinysblackadventure and ispycameltoe. And had not only built blogs for each site, but was using the blogs to all point to one major site for each niche, a money site so to speak. So I create these blogs and make my way across the 10 sites or so i found, that let you add RSS feeds, Yahoo was one of them, it was one of MyYahoo’s new features. So i added about 10-12 blogs to myyahoo that night and thought not a whole lot about it. I expected to get spidered by yahoo at worst, and maybe a few clicks somehow.

The next night, about 20-22 hrs later, i started to receive traffic not only to all the blogs i listed the feeds for, but to the sponsor. In less then a day, the blogs had been indexed, and listed in the yahoo search engine. And the listings weren’t 8th or 9th page, they were top 10. It was evident that adding the RSS feed to my yahoo, forced the yahoo spider to visit and cache the page, something that wasn’t so evident was that they gave major weight to any site that was added then, almost classifying all RSS Feeds as news sources, and listed them in the serps as such.

I had found a backdoor into the yahoo search index, and it led right to the first pages of results. The week following is when i quit my long time job/career in construction, and pursued my online earnings. Things were very weak still back then. It was still hit and miss with some results in yahoo, and they were very quick to fix the backdoor, and stop giving such massive weight to feeds, after all, it wasn’t just news sites and press sources using them anymore. But the 300-400$ a week i pulled from them for a few months was more then enough to convince me i shouldn’t be working outside, freezing my balls off for 20$ an hour.
