Welcome to S.E.O

By Clive Anderson

Mike and Amanda have asked me to cover the subject of basic S.E.O in an easy to follow understand terms that hopefully everyone can gain a little something from

I am certainly no guru or I.T specialist on the subject in fact I just had a whim one day that I wanted to learn how to build and promote a website and it all just started from there

There are probably people here today that already know what I am about to share but for those who don’t I hope you can gain something from what I am about to share with you

I spent 7 years learning how to build and develop websites using HTML code as well as WYSIWYG

I have experience in both online and offline marketing strategies from previous careers and personal projects

I have also used a great many online marketing tools and software programs

I’ve promoted more than 50 personally developed as well as affiliate websites online

Generated online residual income streams that are still active today

Wasted thousands of pounds and hours finding out what doesn’t work over the years

I discovered it took up far too much time to make any serious money and the knowledge is far better used if focussing on a single target that has both online and offline benefits and in my opinion there is certainly none better than the one we are all involved in today (Kleeneze)

What I mean by that is (An online business is never your own with search engines changing the parameters left right and center)

Plus with promotional sites trying to appease them which means they are trying to adjust and co-inside with the search engines requirements sometimes leaving online marketing and marketers at their mercy

In short, what search engines once termed as ethical promotional practise changed overnight to become non ethical and promotional houses that depended on search engines for their existence followed suit and required marketers to either change all of their promotional strategies or they would erase promotions that were not compliant

This actually happened and virtually all of our target and promotional websites that I had created became non compliant therefore if they were not all virtually re-built they would turn into unethical websites which a majority did

So, is that going to affect what I show you here today?

Quite Simply NO!

(A) We are not using promotional companies that dictate a level of compliance or tell us they only allow links to certain websites or govern inbound links from other promotional sources

(B) We are not doing anything outside of the allowed boundaries administered by the promotional companies we will be using

(C) We are only providing activity that search engines and the promotional companies we will be using love and highly facilitate for

What is Search Engine Optimisation?Overall:

Websites

& Keywords

What are Keywords?

Keywords Are:

(Search Terms that people type into their computer browser)

(Website developers trying to harness the best search terms when building a website that relate to their products or services)

Why use Keywords?

(Higher Search Engine Ranking and Ratings for Websites) = More Exposure = More Traffic (Visitors)

Better Exposure for Website when Blogs, Articles, and Adverts keywords match target website and provide a link (URL = Uniform Resource Locator or Internet Address) to it

Greater exposure for Blog or Article when Facebook, Twitter or other Social Network promotes Blog or Article and provides a link (URL) to it

By using any online means that provide and allow a link back to either the main website that you wish to promote or another promotional source that is also promoting or linking to that website will over time provide additional traffic to your target website. (This includes tagged pictures)

Keywords are the additional link that will elevate a target site even more when used in conjunction with promotional sources as they all have the same driving force and seen by Search Engine ‘Bots’ and ‘Spyders’ as related and relevant to the subject of the website. And the more links and keyword related mediums that you have targeting a website the better your chances of gaining a traffic stream

For instance you wouldn’t have a website that was trying to sell Solar Panels internally promoting keywords about Moon Rocks with marketing sources linked to it that had Giraffe Droppings as their keyword focus or similarity.

Locating Keywords on a Website

Basically the text of what you read on a website contains the keywords and search terms that can be used for its promotion Also the source keywords and title behind what you actually read can also contain keywords that relate to that particular website

You can see these by right clicking your mouse on a website or page and scrolling down to where it says “View Page Source”

(Generic Example) (Title has MAIN Keywords)

(Normal Example) (Keywords are Listed)

So you can promote a specific website by creating its promotions around the keywords used on it and or within it, but for generic websites you are better off focussing on what is either on it or that relate to it

Additionally when promoting a generic website you can use search terms that you feel relate to it and its content as well as providing a link to it, the more it all matches up the higher your promotions will get rated and ranked by search engines giving you a better chance of getting the traffic you desire

Extending Keywords for best results

For Example: Instead of:

Home Shopping (1,400,000,000)

There is:

Home Catalogue Shopping (39,200,000)Home Catalogue Shopping UK (12,300,000)Home Catalogue Shopping Cleaning (10,600,000)Home Catalogue Shopping Gardening (4,830,000)Home Catalogue Shopping Cleaning Essentials (4,620,000)

Or

Home Catalogue Shopping Gifts (591,000,000)

Home Catalogue Shopping Toddler Gifts (4,980,000)

What About People Looking for Extra Income?

Make Extra Money (358,000,000)Earn Extra Money (50,000,000)Earn Extra Money Daily (21,400,000)Earn Extra Money Catalogue Distribution (727,000)

And so on...

Unless someone is specifically searching for Kleeneze this as a keyword could go against your efforts plus you are in direct competition with Kleeneze’s own marketing for the top spot on that term. However using it within an Article or Blog simply as a source for a product wouldn’t do too much harm other than possibly deter the reader if they have a pre-conceived perception of Kleeneze

Now you know how to find keywords and search terms and extend them for better exposure

Some subjects you might want to focus on over the coming months

Christmas

Personalised Items

Rather than be general why not be specific

Instead of a range why not target a specific product or item that is popular

A keyword search term that I have researched and feel should do quite well for the previous subjects is:

Personalised Christmas Present Ideas (136,000)

This will also give you “Christmas Present Ideas” as a search term within your term but as “Christmas Present Ideas” on its own is (51,600,000) your term will get two bites of the cherry but with a better chance of being selected

So what could you do in terms of promoting the Plus Catalogue Products?

High Quality Products at Low Cost Prices (464,000,000)Quality Products at Low Cost Prices (103,000,000)Range of Quality Products at Sale Prices (49,500,000)General Utilities and Products at Sale Prices (40,700,000)Current Utilities and Products at Sale Prices (29,000,000)Snap Up Popular Household Merchandise (18,300,000)

We are still adequately describing good search terms but getting our competition lower and lower by altering just a few characteristics

Keywords are your filtration system in amongst masses of similar and conflicting terms that other websites and users are using in a myriad of ways giving you a much higher chance of reaching your target audience so it is worth that little extra time working on them to get it right

The number equals the amount of results for that search term. This means the amount of

sites you are competing against for that term, phrase or keyword

How to use keywords (tags) when writing blogs

Keyword Your Title and Content

(Not forgetting pictures and key wording (tagging) those too)

Find your niche and focus everything on it and you will have some really great results

Decide on your target?

If your Facebook account is a personal one then you might want start a second account that you can purely focus your business activities around

Brand Yourself, but not as Kleeneze (To specific)

Examples:

Inside Income OpportunitiesInside Network MarketingIncome Opportunities UnveiledNetwork Marketing Income ResourcesIncome and Networking PhilosophiesHow to Make it in Network MarketingHow to Generate Income for Less HoursInternet Marketing and Motivation SpecialistInternet Marketing Top Tips and IdeasHome Income and the Opportunities that Work

(Try not to think of the here and now when branding yourself, think down the road)

Open a second email account at Gmail that relates to your business Facebook for starting new Facebook acct and responding to inquiries etc)

A Few ideas for Facebook etc

First add some posts either pointing out great products with your own words plus business posts relating to the opportunity you represent (Kleeneze) with your own words, positive statements and positive pictures etc (No funny stuff at all keep that for your personal Facebook friends) Professional Image

Then join groups that either relate to promotion, an interest you have, hobbies, and where you can post ads (Create ads on your computer so that you can simply copy and paste these to each of the relevant groups)

Make it public and allow followers

Like some peoples posts in hobbies and interests groups and in some cases share their post but only if relevant

Post links to your blog with why it is worth looking at in text

You are creating interest and curiosity towards your new Facebook page

Don’t invite anyone Kleeneze related to your page, no point (Your activity will be flooding their Notifications and they will end up un-friending you

Be interactive with others Solve their problems

Respond to all the people who connect with you

Schedule your posts on correct times where possible?

Be social on social media sites, but business minded social

Promotional content doesn’t have to be all sales talk. This can mean talking about an upcoming webinar you’re hosting or your latest blog post. It could be any content that talks about our products, services, or general business updates

Engaging content is crucial to building a strong relationship with your audience and providing value through conversation. Show your fans that they matter to you and treat them like you truly care about any contribution they make to the conversation

Where possible amplify content from other relevant blogs or websites to show that you stay updated on industry trends and to avoid looking like you only post content from your own website. It’s a nice break for your audience and it will help them discover other useful resources and informational sites

Facebook Times to Post Ads

Blogs

Write a blog (Not forgetting the keyword rule for title, content and pictures) as often as you can

A blog does not have to be thousands of words long just as long as it is interesting and relevant you can get away with 300 to 500 words (with pictures)

Read other bloggers material with similar subject or content and like or follow (Creates additional activity towards your Blog and target website)

It is fresh consistent content that is original that search engines value most so try and create a new blog or update to an old one as often as possible

Forums

Join a few forums that are related to your hobbies or interests or on subjects that you have knowledge about or can converse on

Your signature is the most powerful thing in forums so try and be original in your thinking with a link to your target website

Try to interact once a day by either posting or responding to a post

Forums not only get read by individuals but good posts in topics get rated highly in search terms so even though it may only really be your signature that is the target the way to promote your signature is by becoming popular in a forum

There are even forums on the particular type of mobile phone you have that you could join, you can share what you like, dislike, know about it or even comment on posts that cover what you don’t know about it

There are forums for virtually anything and everything

Free Ads

Use free advertising sites to place your ads for specific products, business opportunity (Work from Home), and other promotions you have going in the mix, i.e. Facebook page, Twitter, Blog etc

Keywords and search terms will get ranked by Google but certainly not as critical as some other types of promotions

Articles

While there may not be any great UK based Article submission sites using any will still enhance your activities and highlight your target website to the search engine rankings when you use the keyword approach

Emails

Always have a URL (Link) as part of your sign-off in any email that is sent to ANYONE (Creates curiosity)

For Example:

Respectfully,

Clive & Nicole Anderson(Telephone or Mob Number)www.firstforincome.com

Twitter (Business Account)

Pinterest

How Pictures Can Enhance Your Online Activity and Give You Results Too

In some of our Kleeneze Blogs I have used pictures as certain references to subjects, this not only gives the reader something tangible to see but also when added and tagged the search engines will also see them Rate them and Rank in accordance of subject relevance

Most of our online activity in our first year in Kleeneze has been sharing our discovery, the opportunity, results and experiences

We now intend on focussing on Strategies, Techniques, Income, and Success in order to create a viral funnel of new distributors

Here are some of our previous results just from tagging pictures

that we have posted

Kleeneze Distributors (Search term in Google Images has Amanda Bibby in second row, clicking on image provides two images that link to one of our blogs plus further down page are images of Nicole and me and Nicole and me with Mike and Amanda that all link to one of our blogs)

Kleeneze Success (Search term in Google Images again has a picture of Amanda with two further links to one of our blogs plus pictures of Nicole and me and Mike and Amanda all with links to our blogs. There is a picture of our first Kleeneze cheque and one with one of our website addresses on it)

Network Marketing Distributors (Search term in Google Images has a picture of Nicole and me with Mike and Amanda that links to one of our blogs)

Network Marketing Kleeneze (Search term in Google Images has a picture of Nicole and me with Mike and Amanda that links to one of our blogs)

Amanda Bibby (Search term in Google Images has Nicole and me plastered all over the place linking to various sites and posts)

Mike and Amanda Bibby (Search term in Google Images has links, pictures I’ve created, photos of Nicole and me and Mike and Amanda linked to our promotions through one source or another)

And so it goes on, here are a few more that I checked out that all have links to us and our online activities:

Bob Webb KleenezeSuccessful Kleeneze DistributorsSuccessful KleenezeEarn Extra Money KleenezeClive and Nicole AndersonKleeneze a Genuine SolutionKleeneze Additional Income

Thing is a lot of these are linked in with the Kleeneze name as well which is only useful if someone was searching that particular name

There are literally hundreds of search terms that will be linked to some of our Kleeneze promotions and it will gradually rise and rise through continual activity so dominating a particular search term using pictures or your online presence can be easy over time

You just pick a search term that you wish to dominate and add it in all of your online activities with relevance, eventually you will create a viral funnel that just keeps paying off over and over again

Add pictures of people in your blogs to highlight points and tag them accordingly, these do not necessarily have to be Kleeneze people, hero’s or people in limelight that are inspirational and motivational etc

Here’s a useful tip for anyone who has their own fixed website that is promoting Kleeneze in any facet

Have a section on your website that you can easily edit, showing up and coming events great product launches etc change the content of that section at least once a month and always try and make it date related with a date included

This tells the search engine spyders that your website is constantly live and not just a website that was created and left to sit and gather dust (Search engines love New content and Rank it higher)

This will also be good for including in your promotions as the search engines will pick-up on this and Rank your website even higher

Here’s an unusual one that I have thrown in for you “Hits UK” Traffic Exchange - Ever Surfed for Credits? (Websurfing)http://www.hitsuk.co.uk/

Hits UK will not accept generic websites so you will only be able to promote a blog that you have written or other individual webpage style of promotion. You can get around this with domain forwarding addresses, but they are not covered in this training
