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.

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.

Mass Profit Formula promises a “different” kind of software that will allow you make money in 84 seconds.. honestly it was intriguing enough for me to buy it.

Note: There are a number of upsells that will enhance (perhaps) the results of the Mass Profit Formula system, I did not buy any of them.. but they are tempting.

So what is Mass Profit Formula really?

The base purchase includes: 6 video training modules and 2 pieces of software. (Note: There is a “free bonus” offer that will allow you get your affiliate sites setup for you).

The breakdown of the Mass Profit Formula is pretty simple and you’ve seen it before:

1 – Find an Affiliate product

2 – Setup a domain and website related to the product keywords

3 – Get SEO’d free traffic to the site.

ok .. nothing earth shattering there, right. So why am I recommending you buy this product?

The Software is friggin’ cool. The 2 pieces of software will search Plimus and Clickbank and depending on your settings (talked about in the training), it will laser target great products to promote.

The unknown/little talked about fact about Affiliate marketing is that there are WAY to many products to promote .. and only a few winners. So the Mass Profit Formula software attempts – rather well – to cut through the crap and find you strong money makers that not only make money for other affiliates, but it will also show you how many other people are promoting, number of you tube videos for the product, and also how much competition there is in google in order to rank for the item. They also provide a pretty neat tip to find a product related domain name.

Now it’s not all roses either… personally the order process was a bit overwhelming with numerous upsells and downsells, and I would have like some down loadable website templates, rather than having to sign up on another site to receive them.

But the fact remains that the software is worth the purchase of Mass Profit Formula. I’d say give it a try if you are into affiliate marketing at all – if it doesn’t work for you, get a refund.

As a bonus to my visitors, if you buy Mass Profit Formula using this link, I’ll give you free 3 months access to my Page Juice Calculator. This is really going to help you with your SEO rankings for your affiliate sites.

Once you purchase the item, just email bonus@shaunguido.com with your receipt and we’ll give you access to the PJC.

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.

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.

What is Google Instant?

Google will now use their suggestion engine to automatically show you the results below as you are typing.

How do they determine what to show you? (And more importantly, what should a webmaster do?)

Contrary to what was posted immediately after the Instant launch .. you will not need to (or want to) start optimizing for “letters” in Google …

Let’s look …

Let’s break this down as simple as possible …

I’m typing … dog n

You’ll see the results below are NOT for “dog n” … but they are for the 1st suggestion “dog names” and the organic and sponsored links are all for “dog names”.

So what does this mean for SEO targeting?

He are the current takeaways I’m seeing that Google Instant will change in “search behavior”

1. Short Tail is dead — and this is a good thing. Dog is a short tail keyword and previously people would type in Dog, and then go from there, after viewing the search results.  But chances are you aren’t just looking for Dog, when they want something. They want maybe Dog Names, Dog Breeds, Dog Training, Dog Food, etc… and now with Google Instant, they will see these results as they type — and results displayed.  My Theory is that people will naturally over time, will simply keep typing the more appropriate query to what they actually want.

2. Long Tail has changed … With Google Instant pushing people towards the common query, chances are there won’t be a strong need to type in long queries anymore. But and this is a big but ..  The long tail will always be alive for more direct queries. Like local attachments, and specific items. So while strong traffic won’t hit Long Tail anymore — Money traffic will still hit it these words, and maybe more than ever.

3. Medium Tail is king …  3-4-5 Word queries are now the king of SEO. Google instant are pushing the search towards the specific goal search .. which is usually around 3 – 5 words. So if you are looking for next campaign –use this as your base.

On the overall I think this is very good news for webmasters. The short tail was always the hardest to rank for and now in one fail swoop, the 1 word query has been eliminated for the most part. 2 word queries are still a strong play, but only if they 2 words specifically target what a person would want.

As a side note, keyword research has now changed a little. It’s very important that you are targeting the words that come up in the Google Instant search box. If you are targeting the 2-word string, you MUST target every 3 word string that appears, and so on and so on… as such my keyword attack software has been delayed a little bit as I upgrade the keyword system to take this information into account.

CAUTION

This is very important … if you are an Adwords buyer, immediately re-asses your campaigns. If you are targeting 1 word queries (or even some 2 word queries), you are being charged when your ad is displayed with Google Instant. This is a huge potential money waster.

Let me know your thoughts …

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:

Topic: Profiting TODAY From Local Search

http://www.shaunguido.com/go/howielocal

This content packed presentation will reveal:

* The secrets to ranking on TOP of Google local & maps right away

* How to identify and target clients to generate easy RECURRING
income

* Why everything you think you know about local search is probably
wrong

And Howie has a special surprise planned for the webinar too
(HINT: Free Stuff!)

http://www.shaunguido.com/go/howielocal

If you have the time I hope you’ll attend. Like I said Howie knows
his stuff.

I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of emails going around about Ryan Deiss and his new “Perpetual Traffic Formula” program that launches today. Up until this point I haven’t said anything about it.. so here’s the real deal.

Perpetual Traffic Formula

This program is all about free traffic, which is something I know a great deal about and fully support. Now having said that I’m not sure I’d pay that high of a price for the info. The reason is most of the info you need to know — you already know.

Deiss is a “guru” – which is either a good thing to you, or a bad thing. I’ll leave that open to your interpretation.

Let’s look at what’s been given out free so far:

1) The Perpetual Traffic Free Report — pretty good and promotes something that I truly believe. You need a 3-prong approach for success. First you need great on page, then you need a nice link base, and then you need what I term “excitement” links, or as Ryan will say – action/traffic.

2) Cherry Picker Software – A pretty sad effort in my opinion. Maybe I’m biased as I have my own Keyword Attack software coming out soon (can you eyes open for it), but it’s rather basic and boring. If you have Market Samurai already installed, save your effort.

3) Authority Codes Report — Nothing new here really. If you didn’t know that you could type in .edu in google with some special codes than maybe this will enlighten you.

So so far I’m less than impressed with the free content .. now whether that means that the paid offering will be any better I don’t know. Ryan does usually deliver some nice value for the money he’ll charge, but in my opinion it’s not off to a good start.

More Rapid Automated Income Review

Who’s Rapid Automated Income for and is it real useful and provide benefits to what you are currently doing?

I’d say it meets the objectives of 2 types of marketers. The first is the beginner market that wants to make it a little easier on themselves content wise. The second is for people that have struggled to find a converting offer. RAI has done the reasearch for you and presents you with 6 of the best converting offers (as tested by them) for this system.

Does the price point of Rapid Automated Income match up the worth of what you’ll get?

This package is appropriately priced in my opionion.

Would I be proud to put my name on Rapid Automated Income as my personal release?

Yes. For the price point you get 7 helper videos, 6 ready to go niches with feeder content and a couple of website templates.

Would I personally use Rapid Automated Income or the strategies involved in my personal business?

The traffic source they use is a good one, and the converting offers are ones that’s I’ve never tried, so yeah if I were to promote something via Clickbank, I’d give this a shot. But on the overall it’s a little beginner-ish for me.

Do Matt Benwell have a Excellent History for Products?

Matt has been around for awhile in the scene, including release products called: Quickfire Profits, Super Speed Wealth, Google Secret Loophole and Zero Cost Profits .. which have all be well received by users.

Precisely what Does Rapid Automated Income require that I can add to this item as a bonus?

My Rapid Automated Income Review Conclusions ….

I just afforded you a total round down of what you get when you purchase Rapid Automated Income. Now here is my personal advice on whether or not you should buy Rapid Automated Income…

If you are willing to put in lots of effort in order to earn a complete time income online then make a promise to your self that if you buy Rapid Automated Income that you will follow it through until the finish and follow every thing that you are taught. It is obvious the training is superb but if you are not willing to put in the effort to make a real go of it then Rapid Automated Income and anything else available isn’t for you…

Do me a favor, the salesletter is designed to be “hypey” and enticing. Do not simply buy it and expect to be making five figures per month within 1 month of buying it.

Making genuine and considerable amounts of money online requires time and effort. Rapid Automated Income has the software and the correct training framework in place that will help you achieve this goal but it won’t happen overnight.

Bear that in mind… If it is possible to dedicate a few months to make a full time income online then I highly recommend you really considering buying Rapid Automated Income.

Pound for pound it is possibly one of the most comprehensive courses out there. As I mentioned it will require time and effort from you. If you’re willing to do that then I am sure it will be profitable for you…

I know a lot of my readers are working on Adsense type sites right now, so I thought I’d provide some direction and a couple of quick tips. This is by no means the by all and end all .. but it’s not costing you anything either …

1) AdSense isn’t as easy as it used to be… There is a lot of competition these days and the content network is 2nd banana to Google & Search Partners PPC, so you won’t get the high Money per click like a few years ago — however the content network is back on an upswing, especially with a high number of banner ads making it there. So make sure to enable Text & Image Ad Types in Google Adsense setup.

2) Use WordPress. WordPress is great for 2 things: SEO (Use All in One SEO Plugin) and easy of use. And another bonus is that Google loves it. If you do a search for “adsense” in the Add Theme you are sure to find a good theme to use. I’d recommend something like BlueSense.

3) Placement is key .. Here is a color coded layout that gives you an idea on where is the best place to put your Ads:

4) Remember the goal of you adsense site .. It’s to get people off of your site as quickly as possible – ideally by clicking on the ads. So in this cause ugly works. You don’t want to engage your viewers you want them gone — in a good way!

5) Build lots of sites .. Don’t expect bug returns from only one site – unless you can point a lot of traffic at it. Make a small goal, like say $2 a day from a site, then rinse and repeat. If you get 10-20 sites up in a month then you will start to see some action.

6) Test & Switch .. Always keep an eye on your adsense stats and do what you can to try and raise the CTR on your ads .. the better the CTR the more money you will get paid per click by Google. If certain colors are working – switch em, try different placements. Try more ads, try less ads, try different sizes — try everything

Let me know what you think of my tips and of course if you have any quick ones, add them in the comments.

So you want the real Traffic Dojo Review just released from Christian Weselak…

Well … here’s a surprise, I can’t give you a real review on this product, because I decided to spend this holiday weekend with my family (it’s a holiday in Canada this weekend) .. so I can’t give you a real review for it …

But what I can do is give you my opionion on what I’ve seen so far from his free videos. So far it looks very interesting… Very interesting. Christian isn’t some guy that’s hiding behind ghost writers or outsource his product. He is in the thick of advertising on alternate markets – and he makes a lot of money doing it.

If you struggle on Google Adwords (like I do), or have been banned (I’m too crappy to be banner), then I suggest you give a strong look at his CPA Traffic Dojo course. I’ve been able to figure out the one source he kind of shows in the video and I actually plan on trying out that source on Tuesday… and it really caused me to think, wow .. I bet there are a lot of other sources just like this out there. And I also bet they don’t cost as much as google does… hmmmm …

So anyway give it a look at see if it may be something that you are interested in:
