It's a flavor of the month thing. If the head SEO guys says that this is so, then the herd follows. The proof should be in the pudding though. Have you ever been to an SEO forum looking to educate yourself and then find the jackpot? Mr. Seoguru from irock.com has 6,000 posts and says that you must have at least 5 keywords in the url of your site to get anywhere on the net.
On a whim you visit his site and see a page rank of 2 and a lot of adsense with not a product in site. Did you check the back links? How about that, there are about 5 back links and they are all internal. Bummer, where do you turn for advice now?
How about copywriting? Headline colors, length of sales page or angle of sale. What is the correct information? Just like with SEO, you are going to hit many different opinions on what the proper method of creating a sales page should be. Short copy or long copy is a major argument on the Internet these days. Being as smart as you are, you decide to buy a book on copywriting for killer conversions from an expert. You do a search and find a product that looks o.k. This guy has testimonials that say millions are earned with his sales pages each year. Then you head on over to the clickbank marketplace and find out the book doesn't even convert well for affiliates! How good can his copy be then?
Let me ask you a question.
When you want to achieve success in anything in life, what is a sure fire approach? To model success. Modeling success on the net does not mean you will never make mistakes but here is what it does mean. Doing more of what successful people do on the internet will increase your chances of doing the right things for success too. Until you have concrete proof for your ideas, model others who are where you want to be.
For SEO, find the top ranking sites or blogs and see what is common among them that could be contributing to their success. For copywriting, take a look into the clickbank marketplace and see what books in your field are converting and look at the copy.
Success leaves clues. You have to go out there and look at who is making a living, not who says they are making a living. Look at what makes you buy and what makes you store a site in your favorites. These common sense tactics are the methods that will ensure success that endures and will not go away with each tweak in the search engines devil dance.
Never before have people had the opportunity to set up a business for so cheap that has the reach and potential for freedom as now. The internet can be a massive machine for wealth and freedom production, you just have to stand on your own two feet and trust your own research.
