SEO Triple Play; Ranking, Branding and Profit

admin    Google     Branding, play, Profit, Ranking, Triple

This article will show you how to run a simple promotional marketing campaign that has an unusual side effect; Top placement on Google for your most important keywords. With one quick and easy task you can 1.) Get top ranking on Google, 2.) Build incredible brand or company awareness, and 3.) Earn an additional passive income while doing it, if you wish.

The concept is pretty straightforward. You post a piece of software (along with a simple PAD file) to shareware download sites like Download.com. They provide inbound links to your site. Simple right? Definitely! But that’s only part of it. If you know a couple inside tips you can have the link to your site contain your most important keywords as anchor text, which will skyrocket ranking on Google. And you can have your links point to any page you want using that keyword rich link! By the way, there are well over 1,000 well known download sites there for the linking!

Here are the steps to get hundreds of inbound links with only about an hour’s worth of work. It might cost as much as $75. Or, you can take some more time and do it all for free. It’s your call. Here we go…

Step 1.) Create Your Software

It sounds like a big deal but it’s not. You can use the free version of “Activ eBook Compiler” (available at eBookCompiler.com) to create information products with the standalone executable files that software download sites like to see. This is a great way to get your name out there and be recognized as an expert in your field. Of course, if you have $25 (not the hundreds it usually costs) you can simply rebrand a great piece of software…

I “developed” four software products in about 30 minutes for just $25 by using the rebrandable software offered by http://www.IMSoftwareBuzz.com. In short, you pay $25 per month subscription fee and they send you one new rebrandable application each month. When you sign up, they have free bonuses that give you four products immediately (you could even stop your membership there if you want.) The rebrandable apps are top quality and in high demand. I kept my membership and it’s proving to be the cheapest advertising I’ve ever had.

Important Tip: The links will be the same whether you charge for your software or give it away for free. So assign a cost on the app if you’d like and make a nice passive income as well. Just remember that you cannot use the free version of the eBook Creator tool if you sell your product (you can buy it for $49.)

Step 2.) Create Your PAD File

PAD stands for Portable Application Description. It’s a simple XML file that you give to any potential publisher so they have all of your program’s information. But don’t worry. You don’t need to know anything about XML. Just use the free PADManager tool available at http://padmanager.org/. There’s no learning curve, the help files are great if you get stuck (which I doubt.) Here’s all you really need to know:

a.) When you fill in your company information, use your most important keyword for the “Company Name” field.

b.) When filling in the “Product Name” or “Software Title” field (depending on the PAD generator you use), use your second most important keyword.

c.) When writing the various length descriptions, write just like you would a Web page description, full of well placed keywords throughout the text.

Tips A and B above are critical! Using your keyword this way forces the download sites that use anchor text (most of them) to make your main keywords your anchor text. Most will use your company name and some will use the software name.

Step 3.) Submit Your Software and PAD File

Submitting your PAD file is easy but can be time consuming. I paid $50 to http://www.softwaresubmit.net to have them do it for me and it was well worth it. After seeing the success of my first run I tried the next level for my second software project, and paid $90. This got my site 277 permanent inbound links over the span of a couple weeks. You might be able to find an even less expensive service on Google if you search for “shareware submission service” or “software submission.”

If you decide to manually submit to software directories on your own, be sure to check the links at SoftwareSubmit.net for a full list of site names by clicking the “software directories” link contained in each package description. Also check out their FAQ and tips pages for good general information on shareware in general and PAD file creation and hosting.

Step 4.) Monitor and Expand

Now for the really fun part, monitoring your progress. You can do this manually by checking each search engine for your most recent rankings as well as finding and recording each inbound link. This is extremely important. Do whatever it takes and spend as much time as you need to. Here’s what you want to do:

a.) Regularly check your rankings on Google, MSN, Yahoo and AlltheWeb.com at the minimum.

b.) Run full inbound link searches every couple days and record every link you find. Remember to run searches for every variation of your domain name (with the “http” and without; with the “www” and without, etc.)

c.) Perform weekly (or more often) backlink searches and record the resulting data carefully. Make note of any changes including the URLs of pages linked from.

Insider Tip: It’s worth getting a piece of software to do this work for you. Many search engine optimization professionals prefer SEO Elite (http://www.SEOeliteWeb.com) because it is a “master” linking application that also checks ranking, builds reports and monitors everything for you automatically, even when you’re working on something else. It’s also one of the most affordable options at $167.

And finally, strike while the iron is hot! Use this newfound success to help entice others into a reciprocal linking arrangement. There is no better time to attract new partners. Many will want to jump on the bandwagon. Use this opportunity.

SEO Professional Tip: If you get SEO Elite, be sure to use some of their Advanced Features the SEO professionals use like finding “authority links.” Here’s how you do it…

a.) Start a new project. Select project type number 2; “Get links to your website.” And name the project anything you like.

b.) Click the “Add Websites” button on the right and select the top option; “Find High Page Rank Websites using a keyword.”

c.) Click “Next” and choose how many sites you want, the Google Page Ranks, Alexa ranking, etc. Then click “Done” and watch the results gather up top.

d.) Click any page link above to visit the page in question. Click the “Email campaign” link in the middle column to see that SEO Elite has already gathered all the contact information for you.

e.) Finally, if you decide you want to link with the site, just click the “Emailer” button on the bottom and enter your link exchange proposal. Click “Send emails” and you’re done.

That’s it! It’s that easy. A couple hours with SEO Elite each month usually gets me at least 150 new high quality links. Also be sure to try the other “Get links” project types too (like one way links from directories.)

Song Placement And Myspace Play Counts To Attract More Attention That Can Launch A Career In Music

So far, your musical debut on Myspace is going great. You are gaining more friends and everyone is giving you positive comments and feedback on your songs and your page. Now is the time to go after the bigger fish and start attracting more attention, especially the kind of attention that can launch a career in music.

The way to gain popularity and fame on Myspace is by climbing the ranks. The Top Artists are categorized by genres, such as rock, rap, punk, and then by Unsigned, Indie, and Major. Those artists are chosen by the total amount of Plays recorded on their profile page. The songs and how many listeners they collect are very important to musicians.

Having an impressive Total Play Count will gain your band the attention they deserve, so it is important to use what is available to boost those numbers. Most musicians, including those that are signed with major record labels, use promotional tools and Myspace marketing services to help reach those total play count numbers that are so coveted.

The services offered are affordable which is what draws many starting musicians to it. The services have proven to be effective with quick results, using experienced knowledge to gain larger total play counts which will help you to climb the ranks of top artists.

So, obviously, the songs you choose to upload are pretty important. These songs reflect your skill and talent and should be the absolute best you have to offer. Always place your best song first, as that will most than likely be the one listened to most often. When that first song is great, people will want to hear more and will go onto the second song.

If the service is a professional one it will allow you to select a few songs from your page that you would like to promote and use as priority when meeting your promotional plan. So, if you have a specific song that you feel reflects your band or your message you can choose that one for the promotion to concentrate on. When you choose to single out one or two songs for promotion put these songs at the top of the play list. When potential fans come to your page they will listen to these top songs, the ones with the larger play counts, for a sample of your sound.

Myspace is a great way to introduce the world to your music. Numerous musicians are gaining popularity because they are able to use Myspace and all the tools available to their benefit. Being savvy, keeping your page updated with new content, and striving for those higher play counts are ways to attract the attention of peers and even music executives.

Song selection is crucial because these few top songs reflect your style and your band. Placing a song at the top that is sub par is a sure way to be ignored. However, placing songs on top that are representative of your sound and using a proven promotional service for your music marketing campaigns will allow those play counts rise and you will gather more fans, friends, and more attention to your band.

Social Media Does Not Recognize Sidelines So Get in and Play the Game

I came across a video the other day that showed an animated twenty-something male sitting at his laptop and closing it up in disgust. Suddenly an icon that looked amazing like one of the social media company’s logo walks into the room and with a cartoon face begins inquiring why the main character left the social media site.

The man explains that he is tired of the site and needs to move on with his life. Suddenly the icon of another famous social media site arrives and then three more drop by. They all begin bullying the man to come back to cyberspace and play.

Finally the animated man says that he needs to get a life and move on. Although every cartoon icon begs him to come back the brave man walks outside and begins walking downtown. He sits at a pleasant sidewalk café, but no one will talk to him. This cartoon man tries virtually everything possible to enjoy life.

Suddenly he looks around to find no one paying any attention to him and says, “This is lame.” He then proceeds to walk home and open up his laptop as the video ends.

For many online users there may be more truth to this video than they want to admit. Some of the most engaging conversation many will encounter during a day will be online through social media.

I intentionally left out any specific social media page names because there are simply too many of them to list. Each social media page focuses on something specific and then provides some more generalized offerings.

It may be a sad commentary that for some individuals the online world may be preferred to real life, but this is often the truth.

This is why marketing to this genre is important. You see these individuals are extremely motivated to be online and engage others in the same way. These are not sideline players. These are the first string online users who eat, drink, breathe and sleep Internet.

When you market to social media you are not simply embracing a casual online user. These are hardcore users who often understand special coding issues for their social media page. They know how to add widgets and other interactive devices to their personal social media world. They have made the term geek cool.

This truth may be why Google has been so interested in developing advertising accessibility within social media sites. Their PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising can result in profits for virtually everyone involved.

Social media is a format that has found a future in spare parts. So many associate programs are being used to develop interactive content, personalized page design and secure music distribution. Because social media has left the door open we will likely see more and more mix and match options to drive future potential in social media.

Whether you are looking to develop a direct or indirect marketing campaign via social media it is a format that lends itself to reaching out.

So, ummmm, reach out already.
