Seven Days to Better Website RankingsAs an SEO consultant, I have a bunch of knowledge, tools, and resources at my disposal that I can use to get better website rankings, almost at a moment’s notice. In this post, I’ll share with you how you can get better website rankings in as little as seven days without resorting to my “tools of the trade.”

First off, you will have to do some work. I know, the “internet lifestyle” would suggest that you do nothing, the search engine rankings rise, and you make money hand over fist.

Of course, it doesn’t work that way.

Seven Days to Better Website Rankings

It’s easiest to break this down into 7 daily tasks.

  1. Write a kick ass post. Make it good. Concentrate on a single keyword phrase. Make sure your onpage SEO is spot-on. Read about onpage SEO best practices here.
  2. Produce a video about the topic you wrote about in Step 1. Link back to that post in your YouTube “description.” Tag with your keywords.
  3. Post the video on Facebook. Write some descriptive content using the same keywords.
  4. Submit the post and the video to Twitter (i.e., tweet about it).
  5. Write a blog post at blogger.com or wordpress.com using the same keywords as in Step 1. You can use the same content, but I suggest you re-write it or start fresh. Place a link somewhere in that content to the URL in Step 1.
  6. Tweet about and submit the URL from Step 5 to Facebook.
  7. Submit the URLs in both Step 1 and Step 5 to Social Monkee. With the free version, you will get 25 backlinks per day from social media sites.

If you follow these steps with every blog post you make, you will ratchet your way up the search engine results pages with a pretty small effort.

A Fork in the Road

fork in the roadAs you may have guessed in my last post here just this morning, I have been busy. It seems as though my business really has split into 2–maybe 3–pieces.

I hate the terms “online” and “offline” but they may be the best way to describe them to you. Better yet, maybe we can describe my business in other terms — Products and Services with Consulting thrown in to bridge the gap between the two.

Rather than esoteric or nonsensical labels, let’s just put it this way:

  • I build websites and put together social media and SEO campaigns. Those are services I provide.
  • I create information products. These products are generally related to the services I provide. For example, I may make a product that addresses a particular facet of search engine optimization.
  • I also consult. I help entrepreneurs and businesses establish an online presence and market and sell on the web.

So those are the 3 parts of my business.

I feel compelled to split those parts across three unique but related websites, just to make it easy for you to know where to go to find the things you are seeking.

In that light, then, this site will be dedicated almost solely to Services. That is, this is where you will come to peruse my services and contact me if you need any work done. There will be a consulting component here, as well. Call this my “Offline Consulting” piece.

ProfitPathz.com will be where I showcase my product creations. This shall be my “Online Consulting” piece.

Finally, the Coaching Academy will be where I teach you to perform the Services that I provide for a fee.

The Coaching Academy is pretty awesome. You get one hour’s worth of consulting time with me each month for a low $97 fee. Additional hours can be had in $97 increments.

This is a great deal because I normally charge $250 per hour for consulting.

But I digress.

If you’re on any of my subscriber lists and you just don’t feel like you’re on the right one, please by all means unsubscribe from the ones that are no longer pertinent and subscribe to the ones that are.

You can do that here.

SEO Checklist?

I'm contemplating putting together an SEO checklist that covers both "onsite" and "offsite" search engine optimization. Is this something YOU would be interested in?

Should I slant it towards general SEO or focus more tightly on WordPress-based websites?

What I foresee is a step-by-step, "do this, then do that" type of approach. What do you think?

Want First Page Rankings for Your Business?

I'm about to put my neck on the line here. I hope you appreciate this.

I just found a way to shortcut the often tedious and LONG drawn-out process of getting local websites ranked on the first page of Google.

Normally, it takes days–if not weeks or months–to get all the "ducks in a row" in order to get a local-based business to the front of Google, but I have found a way that seems to work…

…but I want to try it on some sites I don't own.

So here's what I want to do.

For three lucky businesses, I will set you up for free. No charge. No strings–once I do the work, I won't ask for payment–it's free. As in, it's on the house.

You will have to do a few things though, as follows:

  1. Your site has to be a WordPress site.
  2. You have to give me admin rights to the site.
  3. You have to give me the city and keywords you want to be ranked for.
  4. You must be a "brick and mortar" type of business or one that is concentrating specifically on a service area (like the Bay Area or a specific city or cities).

That's it. It's that simple. If you're interested, please sign up using the form below. It will take me a few days to get enough submissions to make a decision on which 3 sites I pick. This is not a "first come, first serve" offer — I will be picking the 3 sites I want to test this on.

I will not be "stacking the deck," though. I'll be verifying that these really are WordPress sites and that they're a suitable fit for the method I'm employing here.
