I wanted to use the word “honesty” in the title for this blog post, but I expect the word “Lying” will pull more attention. However don’t let that mislead you, this article is about using honesty in your marketing, not lying.

At the start of September you may recall StomperNet offered their Stomping The Search Engines 2 course for the cost of shipping if you were willing to try their new print newsletter. They made money off this offer because of the multiple upsells involved during the ordering process and the potential for rebills if customers decided to stay subscribed to the print newsletter.

I had no problem with this offer, in fact I thought it was a good deal and promptly blogged about it and sent a notice to my newsletter too.

Besides a brief hiccup that killed the opening day, StomperNet did well, and many of you, my readers, grabbed the offer.

A few days later Brad and Andy at StomperNet decided to up the ante a little and with the help of many of their top Internet marketing friends, put together a bonus package that was, well, a little over the top.

Guys like Ed Dale, Jeff Johnson, Jeff Walker, Rich Schefren, Mike Filsaime, Paul Colligan and Shawn Casey (and others) gave everything from teleseminar downloads, audio files, free months in coaching programs, reports and more on top of what was already offered by StomperNet, just for the cost of shipping. That offer has since passed, though you can still buy the course and trial the first month of the newsletter if you pay for sending it to you.

Apologies if you got this notice from my newsletter yesterday around 2PM. It appears Andy and Brad had some technology issues so people haven’t been able to take advantage of this one until today. The links in this post go to an active page where you can order.

You can skip the background story and go straight to the good stuff here -

Stomping the Search Engines 2

A long time ago I was a newbie just like you might be now.

A newbie is a person new to the Internet and in my case I was learning everything I could about building websites and then generating traffic to them.

About four years ago I stumbled across a man called Brad Fallon, who at the time was selling a product called Stomping the Search Engines.

Brad taught people how to convince search engines, specifically Google, to send thousands of visitors to your site simply by optimizing your web pages so they rank well in search result pages.

Brad was the first to teach me how important the following elements are in order to “search engine optimize” (SEO) my website -

• Titles
• Keyword Density
• Site Structure
• Internal Links
• PageRank
• Page Reputation
• Anchor Text
• Link Popularity
• Link Relevance

I owe a lot to Brad because he introduced me to the world of SEO and since then I’ve come to depend on Google to deliver fresh visitors to my blog.

Thankfully blogging is a great way to organically drive traffic from search engines and even if you forget about SEO you can do reasonably well just by publishing regularly to a WordPress.org blog.

However, if you are in a competitive niche, or you just can’t seem to grab that first page ranking for a certain keyphrase you know is the killer-term that could skyrocket your traffic, it pays to study the work of guys like Brad.

Today Brad is a partner-founder with Andy Jenkins of the Stompernet company - a massive Internet marketing organization made up of many experts, which they call the “faculty” (just like a university).

If you have been following all the great videos from the Going Natural 3.0 series from StomperNet then you probably know the full program opened yesterday to take new members - you probably joined already too.

As I write this you can still get in if you haven’t made the decision yet. Here’s the link to review the sales page (yes, it’s a long one) -

http://www.stompernet.net/

I sent an email to my newsletter yesterday that sums my take on whether you should join the program. I’ll repost it here for your reference.

I’ll just add that StomperNet membership also includes access to the very popular StomperSMARTS social media marketing course and there’s a very good basic training course for absolute beginners too.

As I said - there’s a ridiculous amount of value inside this program - whether you can commit yourself to using it is your decision.

I’ll leave it at that, and thanks to the people who already joined via my link, I appreciate it.

Three quick updates for you today, starting with a way cool video and tool from StomperNet’s latest Going Natural 3.0 launch series of videos (if you haven’t opted in to get these free videos, go do it now - you’re missing out!).

Assessing Your Website’s SEO with Stomper Site Seer

Today (Friday USA time) StomperNet are making available a search engine analysis tool called Stomper Site Seer (or SSS for short).

It will cost you NOTHING to use it. You can submit your site and get a complete StomperNet search engine diagnostic report.

To prep everyone for the release of this tool Jerry West and Howie Schwartz put together a video that explains some of the key on-page and off-page elements that matter when it comes to your website (and blog) ranking well in Google and the mistakes you need to avoid.

The video is worth watching even if you don’t use the SSS tool because it’s a fantastic primer on some search engine optimization fundamentals, including metrics you need to know about to assess where your site is performing well and where it is not.

The video reviews things you can do to your website internally (on-page), such as how much the title tag matters, what you should do with your Meta Keywords and whether a sitemap is still important or not.

Then they cover external linking elements (off-page) such as keyword cost analysis, how well your site is performing in social media sites and data on the number of incoming links to your pages. This is all very handy stuff for anyone doing SEO.

One of the cool features that the tool offers is information on what Google thinks is the THEME of your website. If your site is not themed by Google how you think it should be, then this is an opportunity for you to create some new pages to target the traffic Google is sending you because of your theme.

This might sound confusing, so if this is the first time you have heard the term theme as applied to websites, you need to watch the video and then grab the SSS tool to find out the theme of your site. I’m not sure what the theme is for my blog, so as soon as the SSS tool comes out I’m going to find out.

The SSS tool and the video are available today. To get them and all the other free videos, all you need to do is opt-in to the newsletter from StomperNet here -

StomperNet are not spammers when it comes to their email list, they send out some very good content, so you should be on their newsletter anyway.

StomperNet is reopening for members at the end of this month. As they always do, they announced the news by releasing a series of free videos.

If you have never seen a StomperNet video then you are missing out. The video work from Andy Jenkins is definitely the best you will see, at least for free, about Internet marketing. However, it’s not the presentation that makes these worth watching, it’s the content.

StomperNet has so much talent working for them that they always uncover strategies that no one else talks about, at least not in free content.

You can watch the latest one here -

Going Natural 3.0 Video - Part 1

The topic this time is Pay Per Click Marketing with Dan Thies, who offers advice that isn’t your typical PPC tactics. He goes through the whole process in the video and if you do any PPC marketing you want to pay attention to this.

Keywords With Commercial Intent

The part in the video about researching the commercial intent of keywords I found really fascinating and I had no idea there were research tools available for this.

Commercial intent is what all business owners want - to find people who have the intent to buy. Obviously if you are in business you want to sell, and while there’s a ton of traffic searching for your goods and services every day, a good chunk of that traffic doesn’t buy.

Finding the phrases that people type into search engines that result in a sale is absolutely gold since you then know the keywords that lead to the buyers, not the browsers.

There’s a lot more to it of course and I recommend you go watch the StomperNet video for more on this. Here’s the link again -
