Then one day, while checking your website stats you watch in horror as your traffic plummets ... taken your profits with it.


Traffic Is Lifeblood ... Without It You Are Doomed To Failure!

Fact is, generating traffic is NOT as simple as some people would like you to believe. And alot of people with good intentions fail to reap the massive benefits that sustainable, targeted search engine traffic can provide by falling for the same tricks over and over again. But, I'll be honest with you - anyone and I mean ANYONE can flood their website with targeted, sustainable search engine traffic if they are shown how to do it!

So, with that said ...

Traffic Myth #1:Submit To 5,386 Search Engines ...

Report shatters the most deeply rooted search engine traffic myths and exposes them for what they truly are!

This one is the most popular advertisement you can find online and it's the one whose probably claimed the most victims. These ads promise to submit your site to numerous search engines and direstories and deliver tons of traffic in return. Some of these companies even trick you into signing up for a monthly fee by scaring you into believing that you need to constantly er-submit your site in case it gets de-indexed.

The allure behind the claims made by this offer is very attractive to someone trying to get traffic to their site and that's why you'll still see the ad - today because people continue to fall for it. The problem is ... IT DOSEN'T WORK!

voltmeter

There are many search engines, but only a few of them - Google, Yahoo, and MSN - are used by most people ... the other 5,383 will be lucky to get you a few visitors PER YEAR.

Not only are most of the search engines and directories you're submitting to obscure and unknown, but ... NOBODY VISITS THEM! ... it's just tumbleweed rolling through like the old west!

Real human visitors WILL NOT find your site this way ...

You're basically adding your website to a directory or search engine database with millions of pages, so good luck having people find your site among the rest. Even though you should be convinced by now that you won't get any visitors submitting your site using these services, you might still wounder about the search engines themselves. I mean, that's why you should use these services, right?

To get the search engines to index your site! ... WRONG!

You don't have to submit your site to the search engines or directories to get them to index your site. You just need to have links from OTHER SITES -- not directories that you paid for submission -- to get the attention of the search engines. I would hope at this point you're convinced that paying to submit your site to the search engines or directories is a waste of your money. But, just in case you're not ... I'll dispel some more myths for you:

You should even resubmit your site too! ... WRONG!

False! Resubmitting your site will notNOT help you get high rankings or put your sites back into any index if they happen to get dropped.

You must submit EVERY page of your site

False! Search engine spider follow links - even the ones on your site. As long as you have links leading them to the different pages of your site YOU DO NOT have to submit every page. Allow me to make this crystal clear:

You DO NOT Need To Pay To Submit Your Site To The Search Engines Or Directory Sites!

Traffic Myth #2 Guaranteed Top Position In ...

Don't buy search engine traffic

For a long time, I actually fell for these ads myself until I realized the "trick" behind it. Thankfully, I didn't invest my hard-earned money into any of these offers, but I sure was tempted - and I'm sure you've been too! Here's the biggest problem with these offers - and it's the same as the search engine submission ads.

They Won't Bring Visitors To Your Sites!

voltmeter

I'm sure at this point, you're saying to yourself: "But, they GUARANTEE a #1 position in [insert search engine]!" Don't get me wrong ... you'll probably get a top position in the search engine they claim, but that's not the problem. Why?

The problem is that NOBODY is searching for the phrase that you just PAID to get top position for. Since nobody is searching for that phrase ... nobody is visiting your site through that phrase either.

Take this example to help you makes things clear:

You setup a web page and fill it with a bunch of content and make sure that you use the phrase "incredible cat burglar" at least once. After you get your site indexed by the search engines, go and do a search for "incredible cat burglar" and guess what you'll find ...

Your site in the #1 position! YEEEAAAAHHHH!

It's just too bad that no one else is searching for that phrase and will never see your site listed at the top of the results.

voltmeter

You'll have your #1 spot, but it doesn't mean a thing if you don't produce visitors

There is FIERCE competition for the most searched phrases in any niche and it's difficult to rank highly for these competitive terms. Even if these ads were able to give you top position for keywords phrases that people actually searching for, there's still one more hurdle ...



The search engines are always changing their algorithms!

These companies might be able to get you a top position in the search engines - even for a phrase that is actually searched for - but there is little to NO WAY they can GUARANTEE you'll stay there. No company can consistently achieve top rankings in the search engines for even just semi-competitive words ad phrases, let alone give you a guarantee you'll stay there forever.

That being said ... You DO NOT Need To Pay For Top Search Engine Positions!

Traffic Myth #3 You Get What You Pay For!

If you're not already convinced that you don't always get what you pay for, let's take a moment to dispel yet another myth ...

PPC is more effective than natural SEO!

voltmeter

Here's this thing, This is another one of those "True, but' statements that seem to burden the traffic and SEO community. Yes. PPC can be more effective that natural SEO, but ... IT'S ONLY SHORT TERM!

Unfortunately, this statement won't pass the test of time because people trust organic search results more than PPC ads ...and I'm not talking about some theory or hypothesis.

I'm talking about a fact - thanks once again to our friends at Google who bring to us ... Even though they say that a picture says a thousand words ...

http://blogs.zdnet.com/images/google-eyetracking.jpg

... this one deserves some explanation. It may look confusing at first ... but it's not. It's an eye-tracking study that maps the attention that visitors pay to different arear of a Google search results page. Red is hot ... blue is cold.

Lots of people are aware of the fact that the sponsored ads are displayed on the right hand side of the page. So much so that people divert their attention away from them towards the natural search engine results - most notably the top 3 placements.

Face it. Regardless of the medium - TV, radio, print - people are diverting their attention away from ads and it's no different with PPC advertising. The "golden triangle" traps people's eyeballs and draws them towards the only long term traffic strategy worth pursuing - natural SEO.

That's not to say that PPC advertising dosen't have it's place ... because it definitely does ... as a great testing ground. It's great for dipping your toe instead of jumping head on.

Just set up a campaign and use the information you collect to analyze whether or not you should move into the market or go ahead with the idea. If you move ahead, put your efforts towards natural SEO because ...

You DO NOT Need To Pay For Your Traffic!

Traffic Myth #4 Duplicate Content Penalty Is A LIE!

October 24th, 2005

I'm not going to mince words here. A lot of people have their bread and butter entrenched in tactics that get killed when this myth get exposed and thats why it's so hotly debated.

The biggest issue they face though is that results don't lie!

voltmeter

You can check it out for yourself - just grab the title of any article you find an eZine Articles that's at least a few weeks old and search for it in Google. Go to the last page of the search results and pay special attention to the statement that's displayed after the last result:

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omittes some entries very similar to the xx already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.

The search engines are only concerned about one thing ... REVELANCE!

Only way to do this is give them the BEST RESULTS possible.

... and the biggest piece of the puzzle behind giving the best results is avoiding duplicates - 'the very similar results' Google already displayed.

Think about it.

How likely would you be to return to a search engine if all of the results from your search were EXACTLY THE SAME?

That's obviously an extreme example ... but you get the point. It's especially powerful because Google, Yahoo, MSN and others don't want ant duplicate content in their results.

They want to give the people using their search engine the best possible results, so if you think tricking them into showcasing 100 copies of the exact same content is the way to go ... YOU'RE WRONG!

Google is more than happy to place duplicate content into its very own dungeon - the supplemental results.

voltmeter

It doesn't matter if you're taken the content you find on article directory sites and posting itto your own site or submitting your own articles and press releases to let others use as content ... it's all the same.

Duplicate content is duplicate content and not only do the search engines look for exact duplicates ... they look for near duplicates too! But don't take it from me. Look at what Google software engineer and blogger Matt Cutts' has to say about it:

Q: When does Google detect duplicate content, and within which range will duplicate be duplicate?

A: Good question. That’s not a simple answer... the short answer is, we do a lot of duplicate content detection. It’s not like there’s one stage where we say, OK, right here is where we detect the duplicates. Rather, it’s all the way from the crawl, through the indexing, through the scoring, until finally just milliseconds before you answer things.

And there are different types of duplicate content.

There’s certainly exact duplicate detection. So if one page looks exactly the same as another page, that can be quite helpful, but at the same time it’s not the case that pages are always exactly the same. And so we also detect near duplicates, and we use a lot of sophisticated logic to do that.

... and if you think running your duplicate content through some kinf of article rewriter is going to do the trick ... think again (from Matt Cutts):

"The wrong thing to do is to try to add a few extra sentences or to scramble a few words or bullet points trying to avoid duplicate content detection. If I can spot duplicate content in a minute with a search, Google has time to do more in-depth duplicate detection in its index"

To get a true feeling for the scoop of this issue, you can even take cues from the actual patents that Google has filed related to duplicate content:

"Improved duplicate and near-duplicate detection techniques may assign a number of fingerprints to a given document by (i) extracting parts from the document, (ii) assigning the extracted parts to one or more of a predetermined number of lists, and (iii) generating a fingerprint from each of the populated lists. Two documents may be considerd to be near-duplicates if any on of their fingerprints match."

"An improved duplicate detection technique that used query-relevant information to limit the portion(s) of documents to be compared of similarity, the content of these documents may be condensed based on the query. In on embodiment, query-relevant information or text (also referred to as "snippets") is extracted from the documents and only the extracted snippets, rather than the entire documents, are compared for purposes of determining similarity."

If that'sno enough proof already, don't think that you can sprinkle your site with duplicate content amongst your original content either, as William Slawski of SEObythesea warns:

"Duplicate of content may also mean that some sites and some pages aren't indexed by search engines at all, or that a search engine crawling program will stop indexing all of the pages of a site because it finds too many copies of the same pages under different URLs."

Google and other search engines set the rules and you must abide by them to get traffic you desire. Their goal is to provide their users with an enjoyable experience because repeated visitors are CRITICAL to their survival.

Their efforts to maintain the most accurate and useful search results possible mean you can't take a bunch of private label articles, press release or article directory content and use it to drive tons of traffic. To ensure your site stays in their good graces ...

You MUST Avoid Duplicate Content At All Costs!

Traffic Myth #5 More Traffic Equals More Profits

October 24th, 2005

voltmeter

At first, this statement screams to you that it MUST be true. I mean, of course more traffic equals more profits ... right? One of the biggest "myths" of online marketing and Internet promotion is the idea that more traffic equals more sales -- not so!

All Traffic Is Not Created Equally!

If you can't make money with 100 visitors a day, what makes you think you're going to do anything more than increase your bandwith costs when you're getting 1,000 0r 10,000 visitors a day?

The fact is, you need to target your message as closely as possible to your desires audience. You don't want to promote items for cat owners to people who only own dogs.

That's why you won't see any PPC ads showing up that offer products and tips on dogs when you search for "cat owner tips" into Google. The cat owner isn't looking for information about dogs, they're looking for information about their cat.

In fact, the person used in this example is looking for very specific information.

Information that can use to learn a lot about them and their intentions once they get to your site

They've typed in "cat owner tips" and because of that, you already know a lot about them. First, they'er probably already a cat owner. Second, they're looking for some tips about owning a cat.

Just by typing those wordsinto the search engine, this person has quickly separated themselves from those people searching for other information that's much more generic - cat, cat food, cat toy, and the like.

The person searching for "cat owner tips" is someone that you MUST have visiting your site.

Why?

They're much more likely to buy something than someone looking for general information about cats

They have a question or problem, they're looking for a solution to fix it and are willing to pay for it. There is a very simple equation:

More Buyers = More Profits

If you want to build a successful Internet Business, you must generate more buyers to produce more profits and there are two ways to do that.

Get More OF Them. Sell More TO Them.

To get more of them, you need to beable to sort the buyers from the rest -- don't worry, there's a way to do that and the example given above is just a glimpse.

To sell more to them, you need to uncover their needs and provide them with offers that solve their problems. To truly be a successful niche marketer ... You MUST Flood Your Site With Targeted Buyers

Traffic Myth #6 PageRank Doesn't Matter

October 24th, 2005

voltmeter

Although the idea of PageRank itself isn't really THAT old, that doesn't affect it's ability to hold on of the most frequent myths and source of many complaints - usually about how its calculated or affects rankings.

Like most other things the search engines, PageRank can be easily digested into a simple formula.

PageRank = General + Specific

General PageRank is the weight given to the links on your page. It is used to calculate the weighting of the links leaving your page.

Specific PageRank is the weight given to your incoming links. It is used to measure the relevance of links to sepcific keyword phrases that are being searched in the search engines.

Since PageRank is made up of a combination of those two things, don't you think you'd do well by having FEW LINKS LEAVING your site and LOTS OF LINKS coming into it?

That's why it's possible for a site with a lower PageRank to have more on-topic incoming links than a site with a higher PageRank.

What Google choose to do whenever this happens?

They pick the site with PageRank above its competitor in the search results for that term. Why? They have lots of relevant links leading back to that page.

That begs the question:

"How do you build an ARMY of relevant, Keyword phrase optimized links?"

You may be able to quickly and easily assemble a large array of links on a lot of sites, but good links from "authority" sites within the same subject field are worth more in the long term.

You need to know which sites qualify as authority in your niche!

Then, you can focus on driving your PageRank through the roof with as many keyword phrase optimized links from these sites as possible ...

You'd think that finding these authority sites would be difficult, but it's not when you understand the changing landscape and how to maneuver it.

Gone are the days where you need to trick Google by creating your own mini network of sites. Thankfully, the web has developed into a conversation between many people with the emergence of Wem 2.0

There are just tons of sites already and many more popping up each day - most of which are focusing on niche subjects. You just need someone to hand over the game plan detailing how to build your own network of sites. Don't worry ... I'll show it to you.

... and if you're still not convinced of the importance of PageRank, here's one more VERYgood reason to be convinced.

Duplicate Content Filters!

There are those dreaded words again. Even though I could tell you all about it myself ... why would you want to hear that from me when Matt Cutts can help us out again? He seems to know what he's talking about considering he works at Google and all that good stuff:

"PageRank is the primary factor determining whether a url is in the main web index vs, the supplemental results."

That's a pretty bold, public statement that Matt has made and its one that you should pay attention to if you want to master natural search.

Like I said ...

PageRank = General + Specific

If you want to build a successful Internet business, you must have pages with modest PageRank and there are two ways to do that ...

Only A Few Leaving ... With Lots Incoming.

Since you still want to lead your visitors (and the search engines) deeper into your site, it's important to know how to structure the links within your site. You'll also want to do something that most others don't even think about ...

Lots of website owners are actually diluting the PageRank of their sites because they're not making one simple adjustment. To stop the dilution of your PageRank, simply enter the following code into your, htaccess file (it should be in the public-html folder):

Options +lndexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond%{HTTP_HOST}^yoursite\.com
RewriteRule^(.*)$http://www.yoursite.com/$1/[L,R=301]
RewriteBase/
RewriteCond%{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond%{REQUEST_URl}!(.*)/$
RewriteRule^(.*)$http://www.yoursite.com/$/[L.R=301]

NOTE: Be sure to change yoursite.com to your own URL.

Why do you need to do this?

Some of the links to your site will include the "www" and others won't and some will include a trailing slash "/"and others won't.

Left untouched, the search engines will think there are 4 versions of the same page on your site and distribute PageRanking to each version.

This small change avoids that by forcing the non-www link to redirect to the "www" version -- a small, but very powerful change.

If you're serious about driving traffic to your site ...

You NEED To Boost Your PageRank

Traffic Myth #7 SEO Is A One-Time Event!

October 16th, 2005

Many people have fallen for this and it's the single biggest mistake that anyone can make when building their own niche empire. Knowledge is always changing and since the Internet has brought about the information age, the search engines EXPECT your site to change.

This is not a WANT ... it's a NEED.

One of the indicators of relevant information is it's freshness. Thousands of years ago people debated over whether or not the world was flat and many believed it was.

voltmeter

If you searched Google today to discover whether or not this is true, you'd be quite shocked if the results stated that it wasn't debunked yet. That's the importance of FRESH CONTENT ...

... and the exact reason why you cannot expect to build a site and then shift your efforts towards promoting it. You must do both at the same time. Promote and keep fresh...

In fact, continuing to create fresh content isn't the only thing you must keep doing to have a successful online business. Search engines like Google look at 100 - 200 factors or "signals" to determine relevancy and to decide how to sort search results.

Add in the increasing numbers of competing documents from various media, blogs and web sites, along with more savvy search marketers, and it's easy to realize that effective SEO requires ongoing attention.

"Attention to what?", you might ask.

How about: creative link building, identification of new keyword phrases, plus even analytics and optimization refinements to increase profits. At this point ... some people might be saying:

so WHAT? I already KNEW that SEO wasn't a ONE - TIME event!

I'm very glade for you ... but I'd be surprised if we were talking about the same thing here. Most people think that SEO is a CONTINUOUS process because they need to keep adapting to the latest search engine changes...

... but

They're Wrong!

Natural SEO is a continuous process because you always want to feed the LIFEBLOOD of the search engines ... REPEAT VISITORS!

http://boles.com/called/ganal6.png

... but what if you could do more than that?

No matter how much traffic you're already getting to your site, wouldn't you want twice as much? Well, that's exactly what a small group of people were looking for when they got their hands on a preview copy of Long Tail Traffic Secrets.

A few months ago, a select group of people had the chance to put the strategies uncovered in the Long Tail Traffic Secrets into action.

The results?

"Using just one of the strategies in Long Tail Traffic Secrets, I was able to get 6,000 visitors to my site in only 2 days!"

"After I started using some of the techniques, I began tracking my blog stats more closely and was amazed at some of the results I found. If you do the work and follow the Long Tail Traffic Secrets, you'll get more traffic."

"In just 3 months, my traffic went from 20k to 90k per month, using only some of the tactics in Long Tail Traffic Secrets."

"Across my various niches, I'm generating well over 10,000 unique visitors per day ... Long Tail Traffic Secrets reveals everything without leaving ANY stone unturned."

... but what about if you're starting from scratch. Some people who test-drive Long Tail Traffic Secrets used it to build traffic to their site for the very first time to get results like these.

"Just 40 dyas after my site went live, I wason the first page of Google for close to 150 different keywords."

"I only put the tactics you revealed in Phase One and saw my traffic jump over 25% in just one month."

Just by following the step-by-step traffic game plan revealed in Long Tail Traffic Secrets, people just like you were able to see profound results. The question is -- Do You Want To Be NEXT? Do you want to double you're traffic in just a few months?

Do you want to find the absolute best prospects in your niche? If you answerd "YES" to both of these questions, then I strongly suggest you take a moment to learn more about Long Tail Traffic Secrets ...

When you do, you'll gain access to over 100 pages of search engine marketing, link building, and natural search optimization strategies you can use to double your traffic.
