Clickbooth Webinars

Clickbooth, one of the biggest CPA networks, has launched a new “edu” part of their site, called Clickbooth Webinars.

This move is quite interesting, because search marketing is not an easy thing to master. Every bit helps, and the webinars offered up there are completely free. They even have a ball of string, and “NO STRINGS ATTACHED” :)

Clickbooth offers a new webinar every two weeks, about one hour long, in which top internet marketers are interviewed on their ideas and techniques for search marketing. The information provided is not “insider” or anything like that of course, but the mere fact that experts discuss real working examples of landing pages and search campaigns has a lot to offer. Simply listening to how these guys approach different problems and situations can educate you beyond anything else. And, if you are like me, seeing how an expert works and thinks is priceless.

There are currently 3 video clips available, all of them quite interesting. I personally enjoyed the third one, which is Traffic Geyser’s method of generating traffic from videos. Very forward thinking, very interesting, and coming from someone who generates so much traffic, the vid is golden.

Clickbooth claims that their top marketers reveal their “secrets”, which is of course an overstatement. The videos are indeed informational, and I am anticipating to see the upcoming ones.

Definately worth a look, definately useful, newbies will find a lot of info in there, and more experienced marketers will see a new trick or two. It’s free, so check it out. Stop watching silly youtubes and educate yourself a bit.

You Know You Are Too Far Into Online Marketing When…

…internet tool developers send you insider information without you asking for it. Jeesh, I have really gone native.

Spydermate, an seo and website analysis web tool is getting a facelift, and a bunch of new features. The penguins who are developing it are adding new analysis graphs. Here is a sneak peek:

The green is my blog (duh!), and the red is the average of the most recent crawls for every domain ever crawled by SpyderMate.

All of the data points are percentiles of the overall data set, meaning that everything is in scale, not actual numbers. Let’s not see anyone comparing the Google PR graph with Alexa rank, shall we?

The fact that the average is dynamic, is both a good and a bad thing. This is the same case as the Alexa rank, where it skews the data towards sites in US and who are tech savvy orientated.

Same goes for this case, only SEO’s will use this tool, so this average will be derived from all of our sites, and our competition :)

Anyway, even if it misses a percentile, who cares. This is a neat feature, and coupled with the other overview tabs in Spydermate you have a complete general picture of a website. What this analysis shows is that I should have a higher PR and Google neglected me…

As I said in the review post, experienced SEO’s find the site compare ability priceless.

The tool is getting some final finishing touches as we speak, and it will be live for the public very soon, maybe within the month. Go bookmark it now.

My Blog ranks shit…

Trailers No Comments »

…and I’m proud of it.

I have no idea why, but two thirds of my traffic are direct (rss readers fall into that category), and the remaining third is from referring sites. In the past 3 months, I got 11 (yes eleven) measly visitors from organic search. Still, traffic levels are satisfying.

I am not a professional blogger, and never claimed to be one.

But I must be doing something right. You read everywhere, “content is king”, and I agree. But content does not seem to bring in organic search for me. It brings traffic from links. Maybe there is a threshold, and I am yet to cross it. I haven’t really tried, to be honest. I don’t bother with keywords, or linking to my posts. Hell, even my categories have the wrong keywords in them.

I am an SEO, and my blog is nowhere to be found in the SERPs. I have an online business, affiliate sites, directory sites, ebay stores, splogs with 100 times the traffic and higher PR than glowleaf.net

I run ppc campaigns, abuse every system I can find, either torrents, social bookmarking, auctions, scripts, exploits.

I can’t name all my domains by heart.

I know SEO, I do it for a living. But I decided not to promote this blog. It was my little experiment, whether or not good content brings in traffic. I can say now with confidence that it does.

But it’s not enough, especially for marketing. You really need to have a solid linking and promotion strategy for your sites.

I will discuss in future posts how to do just that, mastering methods for standardizing your website promotion. Stay tuned. Hit my big bad RSS button.
