Neil Shearing’s Internet Marketing Strategies

I hardly know where to begin.

Lots of people took me up on the ArticleUnderground offer… which is great.. so I’ve been emailing them their bonus movie! (it’s not too late if you want to jump on board… see this post).  I also heard from lots of people who were already members and who wanted to know if they could get my bonus… well, of course! Next time, I’ll be faster to do my promotion and not wait weeks before my “lightbulb” moment.

I added my own Incomemax.com RSS feed to the regular pages on Incomemax.com using something called Feedroll. You can see the blog posts at the bottom of the pages. I like having editorial control over my sites. The idea of adding other people’s RSS feeds makes me nervous… so adding my own seemed like a better plan.

I also changed a Meta tag in the Incomemax code I wasn’t previously aware of.. “revisit after” was set to 15 days (!)… no wonder I had to wait so long for Google to come back to my site… they were staying away for two weeks at a time because I was asking them to… unknown to me! I’ve changed that setting to one day! Oh and, also at Incomemax, I changed the meta description and made it longer. Google seem to have taken all the meta description and the first image alt tag as their search engine description for the site… which wasn’t good. So I wrote a longer description.

What else? Oh yes, I tried out the new and improved Article Announcer… it’s a great tool, but (through no fault of Article Announcer’s) the first time you try to submit an article at a site they ask you to fill in a form, then confirm your email address, then pick a pen-name, then submit your article. I can’t wait until I’m done “registering” with each site and can just run around submitting articles… that’ll be fun. Today I think I registered at about a dozen sites and submitted an article at each… which took a few hours!

The article I submitted was the first I’ve ever had ghostwritten! I’m very excited… getting brand new, original content and then leveraging it for inward links to Incomemax.com which use the link text I define. Hopefully, the new inward links plus the on-page RSS feed and the increased spider visits because of the revisit change and the meta description change will all add up to more traffic for Incomemax!

So… phew! How was your day?
