Two years ago this very day… would I be good enough?

March 7, 2015 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Two years ago this very day, March 7th 2013, I sat wide eyed in front of my 21-inch monitor and endlessly stared into the blank abyss of a Google doc file.

It was quiet this night in our home as my wife and almost 3-month old son slept the night away.

I had started on this document roughly one hour ago, and yet I still found myself blank as a winter blizzard storm across the fields of the midwest.

The clock read 11:04 pm.  Oh, why was I awake, you ask?

Generating website traffic using RSS-to-email services

March 1, 2015 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Not too long ago, I published content in regard to the one action that small businesses often fail to take when launching their website.

Hopefully, you took a moment to not only read the post and view the video tutorial, but my hope is that you made and took the time to implement your very own mailing list subscription for your website.

If you didn’t, then go do it now and I mean that (okay, too serious!).

Seriously, if you didn’t execute the mailing list tutorial, you’ll want to today after reading this post.

Today’s post will be a follow-up to the mailing list tutorial as we take it a step further to create an automated email sending every time you publish new content.

Ready to start?

Round Up: Expired Domains SEO Tactics & Techniques

February 24, 2015 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Today is a good day to share and learn about expired domains SEO.

Quiet as kept, there is a growing aftermarket of domain names, specifically the expired domain market.

From Sedo to GoDaddy to Park.io to NameJet to SnapNames to name a few, many business owners, domainers, developers and more are sniping expired domains right and left (even right now as you read this very article!).

And I’m not talking the bottom of the barrel expire domains either. I’m talking about highly-valued expired domain names that they are buying for pennies on the dollar of the expired domain’s overall value in some cases.

But why would anyone buy expired domains?

Well, I’m glad you asked! I’ll share with you some of my most popular expired domains SEO content in today’s round up.

And although finding and buying expired domains is much like attempting to find a needle in a haystack, when you find that one needle or diamond in the rough, the SEO value you’ll attain in search rankings, traffic and new customers will make your work and effort all worth it time and time again.

So let’s get started, and I’ll share with you proven tactics and techniques of how to use and not use expired domains as a part of your overall SEO strategy.

One action small business websites fail at and shouldn’t!

February 17, 2015 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

I consistently meet and speak with a wide range of small business owners. And they all have the same simple request of teaching them to generate more customers and make more money.

And if not, then their request is that I provide them with an SEO solution that will increase rankings and traffic in hopes of increasing repeat sales.

There are many marketing actions and things a small business, especially an online business or a business that depends on its website as the primary source for lead generation, can and must do when it comes to planning and executing sound Internet marketing strategies.

There is low-hanging fruit, such as participating using social media networks such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and LinkedIn, to name a few. Of course, it can pay to submit to the legit directories.

Then there is also pay-per-click advertising for those who desire instant results.

Then there is the old tried and true method of creating content that engages potential and existing customers to share with the masses.

And don’t forget press releases, guest posting, blogging, ebooks, tutorials, and video marketing, to name a few.

But there is one internet marketing strategy that I experience quite often that small business fail to take action on… Guess what action it is?

Why small businesses shouldn’t pass on YouTube ads

February 11, 2015 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

If I were to take a poll throughout the world, my guess would be that most small businesses advertise via the following sources:

  • YellowPages.com
  • Local Newspaper
  • Local Magazine
  • Community Newsletter
  • Radio
  • News
  • Facebook, Twitter, Linked and Google

There are probably many more, but those are just the common ones and in no specific order.

But there is one advertising source that I’m seeing small businesses pass on, and it’s a great and affordable pay-per-click advertising opportunity: YouTube ads.

In comparison to the traditional advertising opportunities briefly mentioned, excluding Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google, YouTube costs are merely a fraction of the cost of those listed sources, and is a pay-per-click cost model unlike the others.

So why should your small business not pass on YouTube ads?

If you said no with researching from A to Z, then I suggest you research the YouTube Ad numbers and feasibility before blindly saying no, and here’s why…

Round Up: SEO Link Building Tactics & Techniques

February 3, 2015 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

How is your website’s backlink profile looking these days? Are you steadily garnering new links from a multitude of high-quality websites?

If you can’t answer those questions honestly, or you answered honestly with only a handful links not worth writing home about, then today’s post is strictly for you.

And don’t worry, I’ll go light on you although I probably shouldn’t.

Nevertheless, I’m providing you with the link building strategy round up that will do the following:

  1. Inspire those of you that are not currently link building to get started if you have not a clue where to begin sound and search-safe link building
  2. Give those of you a good swift kick in the pants if you’ve approach or manage ongoing link building in a lazy manner
  3. Correct those of you who have gone towards the dark and wayward path of eating at the “all-you-can-link-buy” buffet

I encourage you to read, study, and re-read each link building post in this round up series.

If you have questions, then please don’t hesitate one bit to drop a comment at the end of this post.

It’ll be my pleasure to help answer any questions or concerns you may have as it pertains to sound and search-safe link building.
