Blog SEO Follow-up


 

I recently posted about search engine optimization for blogs and asked my readers to chime in on the subject.

As expected, there were many contradictory answers and suggestions — and it’s no surprise since no one really knows exactly how Google’s algorithm works. And Google likes it that way.

But there were some incredibly valuable suggestions that were posted. You definitely should take a moment and read all the comments that were posted for that entry.

And as promised, anyone that submitted a solid tip earned a link of their choice on this blog.

Here are the contributors that I selected and their brand-spanking-new links…

Guess The Price Of Traffic Secrets 2.0


 

As many of you already know, the long-awaited new version of “Traffic Secrets” will be released this summer.

The original course, which sold over $1,000,000 worth in the first 18 hours of release, was priced at $997.

I’m curious to see what people think “Traffic Secrets 2.0″ will be priced at.

And, no, this isn’t a survey for me to figure out what price to use; that has already been decided.

I will say this… the new version has A LOT more traffic strategies and methods than Version 1.0 did — because it covers tons of “Web 2.0″ tactics and some other newly discovered methods.

So post your guess below… maybe I’ll award some sort of prize to the people that guess it correctly.

One guess per person please. Let’s not clutter up the comment section. :)

* Special Note: Traffic Secrets 2.0 will be the very first training product published by Income.com. We have several in development.

More Internet Marketing Videos On The Way

So stay tuned. :)

The Greatest Marketing Campaign In History - The Apple iPhone


 

As a student of marketing there’s no way I can deny the fact that the marketing campaign for Apple’s iPhone product is unlike any campaign before it.

We are truly witnessing marketing history in the making.

Whether the iPhone succeeds wildly or fails badly, it won’t really matter. This campaign has been an education in itself. Never before in history has a product been so widely anticipated. The iPhone has gotten more press coverage and people ‘talking’ about it many times more than anything before.

There are web sites dedicated to iPhone rumors and news. Thousands of bloggers continue to post about it. There are even some sites that have gone crazy (and had a huge spikes of traffic) just from posting new photos of the actual device.

It’s truly amazing.

What is even more amazing is the SECRECY involved with the product. The massive release of this product is next week. Yet I was just in the Apple Store here in Orlando and you can’t even look at one! Not even one protected by a glass box or display. NOTHING. It’s still just this huge MYSTERY.

My hats off to Apple for this unbelievable work of art — and I’m not talking about the cool looking gadget. I’m talking about the marketing campaign for it.

As many know since my “Million Dollar Day” launch in 2004, I think anticipation is the most powerful weapon in marketing. Well, Apple has mastered the art of anticipation with this launch and we’ll soon see how they sell the heck out of this new phone.

Many critics think that Apple won’t be able to compete with the other cellphone makers in the ‘grand’ scheme of that market. I think they are dead-wrong.

Owning an iPod, for example, isn’t just about having some functional device. Apple has created a PIECE OF CULTURE. Having an iPod makes you cool. I think the iPhone will be no different. Apple is a master at creating ‘cool’ products.

I predict the iPhone is going to be a MONSTER SUCCESS. Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and other phone makers better start worrying. Apple is coming for their market share and WILL end up with a lot of it.
