Well, it’s official – the long standing “backlink checker” in the SEO world has
gone the way of Yahoo’s other staple service: Overture. More here

So what now?

How can we quickly evaluate our competitor’s backlinks, figure out who the
“players” are – and in general get a picture of what we’re up against when
evaluating our SEO competition?

Are we relegated to using expensive private data – or worse – Google’s highly
purposely-limited backlink lookup?

Luckily – as of now – the answer is no. We’re not

At SEOAttack.org for free you can research your competition (or your own site) in a quick
and simple manner. Everything you need to know about your keyword targets and
your competition is now in your face and at your fingertips.

—> Side Note Before We Get Started on the Features:
Page Juice Power is a custom algorithm developed by Attack Suite,
that goes way beyond Google PR to measure the power of a page (and the amount of
link juice a link will give you). It calculates a large number of factors, including
Cache Date, Social mentions, Pumper Backlinks and spits out an easy to understand
0 – 100 quality score. It can’t be any easier to understand!

Here’s are just some of the features:

“Site Explore” – Just enter in a URL, and you’ll be presented all the top pages
connected to that page (from the same domain) all sorted by Page Juice Power!

“View Backlinks” – Just enter in a URL (or choose one from the Site Explore module)
and you’ll instantly be viewing all the top pages linking to to that page – sorted
by Page Juice Power! This is an easy way to know where to get started with your
link building. Don’t waste time guessing – work on the top links first!

“Anchor Text” – Just enter in a URL (or choose one from the other modules)
and you’ll instantly be viewing the anchor text used in all the links pointing
to any that page, along with Link Quality! This will allow you to easily see what
keywords your competition are targeting – and what you may be missing.

“Keyword Search” – Just enter in a keyword you wish to rank for and you’ll be
given insight like never before. Use the SEOAttack ranking difficulty score to
determine how hard that keyword will be to rank for in Google. Plus you’ll be able
to easily view the competing pages (with Page Juice Power) and the software will
also help you spot opportunities for that keyword with Video, News, etc.

If you do any Internet marketing at all, then you won’t want to miss taking this
tool for a test drive!

It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed a product in the Internet Marketing space .. and honestly I wasn’t planning this review either. Believe it or not I actually paid for this product this morning. It wasn’t a free copy, or review copy, it was a complete purchase – with the Silver Bullet guys as my affiliate referral. So yeah this is an honest look at it.

If you’ve being in the SEO game (or profession, depending on your perception), then you know the one thing that matters the most in gaining in the SERPs are links. All things being equal the page with the most links win.

However, obviously all links are not created equal. Getting a link from apple.com holds more value (in SEO terms) than getting a link from somesite.com/13/startpage/eraty.php ..

How do we know this? Well Google told us so. Back in 1998 the Pagerank algorithm was created to basically “rank pages” so that Google could determine what sites were important and what sites aren’t. The Google PR bar then became a standard goto for SEO’s to determine the strength of a page.

The problems with Google PR

When the PR toolbar first started to appear it became the first real insight given by Google to end users letting us know how they rank sites. However over time this has become more and more useless for a number of reasons:

1) The  toolbar ranking is old

It’s common knowledge that the ranking shown in the toolbar is most likely only updated about every 3 -6 months, while the actual PR google uses is updated daily and maybe more often

2) Sites can fake PR.

It’s becoming harder to fake PR if you put it through a real checker, but it still happens all the time. (Note: Google is not being faked, the end user is)

3) PR has a small sale.

PR has a scale of 0 – 1, which is ok for comparing 2 or 3 sites .. but say you have 25 sites that are all a PR2 .. you have no idea within those 25 which ones are more powerful than the others. And don’t be fooled, because all of the PR2 sites are indeed NOT equal in passing you quality link juice.

4) PR doesn’t give a good idea of future value

PR is more a sign of age than it is of power. There could be an article posted last week at a good quality site that sparks a huge viral spread. But if you look at it’s PR .. chances are it’s either 0 or N/A (not available). That’s because it takes time to build PR in the toolbar display.

5) PR isn’t the only ranking factor

Google changes it’s algorithm all the time. And we know that PR simply isn’t the only factor that matters. We know for a fact that social exposure matters, more and more every day.

6) Google holds the keys to the PR gold

PR is protected … and Google doesn’t let you know what they don’t want you know.. that’s a problem for webmasters.

So how do we as Internet Marketers fix this to our advantage?

We create a new system/algorithm that contains *all* of the known factors that help push link power to your site from another site. This system must be modular and be able to change over time as ranking factors change. More importantly the system must make it easy to separate sites based on ranking power and not as closed as things like “PR2″ etc.

So today we introduce the:

Our page juice calculator allows you to:

>>> The PJC allows you to quickly analyzes many urls at once to easily spot the best targets – FAST.

>>> The variance of scoring allows you to easily sort these urls by the best ones to target today, and what to put off the list

>>> Every variable in the algorithm has a different weight when it comes to the final score, but our system will allow you to sort by *any* variable you want.

>>> PR is still important and it is part of our system, we also weight the values of Followed and Non-Followed links, and we use an authority information site seoMoz as part of system.

>>> If you for example want to sort by cache date to get your sites indexed fast, it’s quick and easy!

>>> The web is moving more social and so is the juice pushing power.

>>> The base domain power is a great indicator in the potential of the pages future power.

So what’s the cost of this thing?

Right now we are sticking to a beta price of just $27 a month.

Why a monthly fee and not a one time cost? Simple really. This software is web based and just beginning, it will always be evolving. As a member you are always guaranteed to be running the latest version. We are also planning a large number of secret additions to enhance the software and also, provide you with some custom link sources that are already top ranked.

You are free to cancel (and re-join) at any time .. no hassles.

If you aren’t sure if this is for you not – we are offering a totally free demo which allows you to take a closer look at the system, for just the cost of your email address.

Whew! Thanks for  putting up with this long explanation .. and get out there and try out our software solution and let it help your business.

I happened across something yesterday that was so brilliant because of it’s simplicity, I felt the need to share it.

While watching Andy Jenkins’ BOSS webcast for a couple mins, he had Frank Kern and Trey Smith on. I’m sure most of you know them, if not you may be in the wrong business.

Some attendee asked Frank, how do you make money online?

Now mind you Kerns made millions online, but here was his answer:

“create an offer, send paid traffic to it”
“tweak it”
“send more paid traffic”
“if you make more in sales then you spend in traffic, you win”

Folks it doesn’t come more straight forward than that.

Remember those sentences when you are trying to sell *anything* online.

Then once you have a winner verified by paid traffic – Google, Facebook,etc – expand into free traffic with SEO and explore potential joint ventures.

SEO can be a long process, so make sure you have a winner FIRST, most people – myself included at times, work in reverse.

SEO may be cheaper initially in $$, but it’s very costly in terms of wasted time if you are wrong.

By now most of you have heard – and are most likely using Google Instant. I’ve waited to make a post about it, until more data has come in from the labs. I’ve also tried to bypass the hysteria of “SEO is dead” crap .. so let’s cut to the chase and explore Google Instant and what it means to you.

So my last post was a little on the anger side .. so I’ll try and be a little more level headed in this one

Local Marketing is something that has been hot in the Internet Marketing world for the last 5 months or so, with the hyper launch from Mike Koenigs just finishing up not that long ago.

What a lot of people don’t know, is that one of the people I do trust and pay attention to, Howie Schwartz has been talking about “offline” marketing for a long time before these guys.

I respect very few “Gurus” as I’ve said, but I respect Howie because he walks the walk.. now all is not rosy with his launches,
as often his products are a little overpriced for what you get.. but the good news is this this local marketing webinar will give you a ton of knowledge and content for nothing.

Here’s the webinar info:
