Neil Shearing’s Internet Marketing Strategies

Are you using other people’s articles at your website?

If not, you’re missing out on one of the laziest ways to make money ever invented. Seriously.

I just ran some stats for you… one of my websites got 253,624 visits in the last few months and made $3,416 from Adsense!

Wanna know the cool part? I didn’t re-write ANY of the articles (I’m too lazy for that)… and the homepage is Pagerank ONE! (err, I’m also too lazy to do SEO) :p

Check out my lazy-guy secret weapon!

Daniel and Marc told me they’re going to do “something big” at PLRpro… and when Aussies say that, you need to take cover!

While they work on this “big thing”, they’re closing the doors at PLRpro for at least 3 months… and when they re-open, the price will more than double. Yikes, the “big thing” must be HUGE.

Anyways, the doors are closing on June 30th… unless they sell the remaining 282 membership places by then. (712 have already been sold)

If you get in now, you’ll be “grandfathered” and will get the new stuff at the current low price.

Oh, and if you’re already a member, don’t worry, you’ll still get the great content from the guys as regular as clockwork… and will get the new stuff when it’s ready.

I’ve talk to both Marc and Daniel on instant messenger regularly over the past few years and know them well. Both guys love to over-deliver and get “two thumbs up” from me.

As a prelude to his new Instant Resale Templates, Joel Comm has released a movie showing the countdown to launch of his previous product, Instant Adsense Templates. You can sense the high levels of stress and anticipation during the countdown to launch, and see the relief and excitement as the orders start to flood in post-launch.

As someone with experience of big launches, I can easily relate to the stress of hoping the server stays up and the order process goes smoothly. It’s quite nice to watch someone else going through the same sky-high adrenaline rush. Check it out for yourself here.

For those of you who don’t know, my main project at the moment is getting a whopping Private Label Rights article site to earn the cash I think it should be earning!

(yes, I said… “website… thou shalt earn $100,000 per year… make it so!”)

Actually, I LOVE PLR articles. I love using them to build pages. I love how they’re keyword rich. I love how they hoover up long tail searches.

But, in building a massive site, I’ve realized that I need to get some links into those pages. This is where most people who build PLR sites fail horribly because it takes effort. So, I had a bit of software created to help me obtain links easily. (you’ll get the software for free soon!)

I also had to learn a lot about SEO. I learned from Dan Theis, Aaron Wall, Jack Humphrey, Michael Campbell, Andy Jenkins and lots of other experts. Hence, I’m writing a guide to SEO condensing everything I’ve learned into “bite size” pieces. You can read my early thoughts at this Trulevance post.

It’s all been really exciting and interesting. Yes, I’ve made a few innocent mistakes along the way. Banning Googlebot from my site was kinda dumb. Serving the same articles to Googlebot multiple times when I rejigged the page system wasn’t too smart… but, hey, we all make mistakes. And I’ve learned a bunch from them.

Today I’ve been reviewing Social Power Linking by Jack Humphrey and it contains a huge (HUGE) amount of information about using video and other Web2.0 sites to get quality links and build your own authority sites. Great information. Highly recommended.

More coming soon.. stay tuned…

When I got back from a family vacation in sunny Cornwall, I found an email in my inbox saying that the introductory discount for Andy William’s “Creating Fat Content” course has expired.

Dang!

I’d meant to mention that course, but while I was on vacation with my wife and kids, I promised myself I’d only read emergency emails.

So, when I got back I emailed Andy and said, “Andy, I know your course is amazing value at the current price, but it would really help me out if you could let my list have a chance to grab the product at the discounted price. After all, it’s not their fault I messed up!”

Andy was kind enough to agree and if you use the link below you can get the original “introductory discount” price… but he did put a time limit on this special offer… it only lasts until Friday, 9th November…

So who is “Creating Fat Content” for? Well, in a nutshell, it’s for people who want to play by Google’s rules and get tons of free search engine traffic. Andy has seen what Google wants… high quality, themed articles… and he shows you exactly how to build websites full of what Google wants to see.

The benefit of creating “Fat” content are obvious… lots of free traffic for any niche you want to target. The drawback is that it takes a bit of time to research and write each article. Of course, if you take the long-term view, it’s probably better to create a site of 100 articles that gets traffic for the next 10 years than it is to create 1,000 websites that Google bans and you have to re-create every six months.

So, my recommendation is to pick up a copy of Andy’s “Creating Fat Content” course and apply his techniques to the next few websites you create. You’ll probably be very happy with the results.

Don’t forget, this offer is a limited time exclusive for my contacts only. Please do not share this link with anyone.

By the way, this is a very high quality course… including the main PDF ebook of 225 pages and four different pieces of software including “Content Publisher” which sells for $97, a special Internet Search Web Browser, a special version of Keyword Results Analyzer and a “Fat Content Article Editor”.

Don’t miss the limited-time special price… until Friday…

People say “You can’t get traffic with Private Label Rights articles”.

I say, “Phooey”!

Of course, the same people say that “You should “re-write” the PLR articles before you use them”.

Again, I say, “Phooey”!

My site, built exclusively with un-rewritten Private Label Rights articles has averaged over 1,000 visitors per day over the last week.

Almost all of that traffic has come from the search engines… Google in particular.

How do I know?

I run Google Analytics on the site. The traffic data is from Google Analytics. It says the average number of visitors over the last seven days was 1,074. It says the percentage of traffic from the search engines was 94%, direct traffic was 3% and referring sites was 3%.

(click to enlarge)

The top traffic source for the site was Google which has referred 86% of all traffic.

How many different keywords have been used to find my site? Well, according to Google Analytics, 17,366 different keywords!

And don’t forget, this is from un-rewritten PLR articles.

The next time someone tells you that you can’t get traffic from PLR articles unless you extensively re-write them, tell them “phooey” from me!

By the way, the site has had minimal promotion. I haven’t paid for any advertising. I don’t buy Pay Per Click traffic. I’ve just submitted a few of my own articles to article directories and linked to the site from a few of my webpages. Heck, the site’s homepage is only PageRank 4!

Oh, and if you’re wondering how I created the site… it builds itself using my Auto Smart Site scripts which “read” the articles using artificial intelligence, auto-categorize them and auto-publish them to the website.

As a valued blog reader, I’d like you to see my brand new 13-minute movie…

Destroying The Duplicate Content Penalty Myth!

If you’re worried about using “Private Label” articles on your website because Google will “ban” you, or you won’t get top rankings, or you’ll be put in the “Supplementary Results” index… this movie is one to watch!

Hopefully it will clear up any confusion about how Google deals with duplicate content.

Enjoy!

(If my server can’t handle the load, please try again later!)

PS, I’ll also show you where to get 10,000 quality PLR articles for under 7c each!

Early feedback… “Thanks for that great video Neil! That has answered a whole load of questions and got me very excited about PLR articles”!

Someone challenged me about my Google rankings… check it out…

“I’ve checked the backlinks of refresharticles.com/articles. In terms of links, the site only has 5 backlinks.

When you said the majority of your traffic comes from Google, can you give me few examples of a keyword ranks on the first page?

I provide SEO services for my clients and I don’t believe that any of your pages can rank on the first page of Google.”

Well, that’s just a challenge I couldn’t resist!

I have top-ten rankings at Google. Of course, not for highly competitive phrases, but for “long tail keywords”.

Here’s an example…

So, there’s the proof… 4th position is pretty good in my opinion.

Rewriting PLR articles is NOT needed to capture Top-Ten placements on Google for Long Tail Search Phrases!
