Willie Crawford Teaches Internet Marketing

Amazing Secrets Of A Black Belt Traffic Generation Expert
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford

As an Internet marketer, one of the toughest decisions
you’ll have to make is what products to market and where to
position yourself in the marketplace. Market something that
is not really wanted, or painfully needed, and you’ve
stacked the deck against yourself.

As a 13-year Internet marketing veteran, I have largely
settled into the traffic generation and search engine
optimization fields. Everyone with a website needs both,
and they’re all painfully aware of that fact.

This is a good field for you to enter if you really take the
time to learn how to get a webpage to rank highly for buying
keywords, and how to generate lots of traffic. Neither are
really THAT difficult, as you’ll soon see.

If you plan on selling your services in this niche, you need
to master the basics, and it helps to be able to show potential
clients how good you are. I personally just show clients how
I rank for some of my own website projects. I do that for
two reasons:

1) I want to show them that I don’t really need to work as
an SEO consultant since I could earn a full-time living just
marketing my own products. Not coming from a position of
neediness allows me to charge higher prices.

2) I want to show them that I understand the entire sales
process, and know what it takes to bring in BUYING
customers.

Here are a few examples that I might show a typical
client (all of the examples are the terms without the
quotes):

One of my companies sells automated article, video, press
release and podcast submission services. So I show potential
clients that for the term “automated video submission site” I
rank number 2 out of 1,020,000 on Google, and for the term
“automated video submission software” I rank number 1 out of
192,000 on Google.”

I show them that for the term “#1 google listing” I rank numbers
5 and 6 out of 109,000,000 on Google. For “get a # 1 google
listing” I have the number 3 position on Google.

Since many potential clients know that I’ve worked as a joint
venture broker, I show them that for the term “joint venture
expert” I have at least 5 out of the top 10 positions on Google,
out of 2,870,000 returns.

Since I’ve written a soul food cookbook, I show them that for
the term “soul food recipes” I have the number 2 position
out of 2,510,000 results. For the term “soul food cookbook” I
have the number 2 position out of 58,900,000 returns.

I show potential clients dozens of similar results, providing
them with irrefutable proof that I understand SEO. I also
show them some of my website traffic statistics to prove to
them that I target BUYING” keywords.

By now you have to be wondering how I accomplish this. The
answer is simply by generating lots of relevant content,
and having lots of external links pointing to my sites.

Really simple isn’t it?

The content is typically articles, press releases, podcasts
(audios), and videos. This content is both on my sites and
on other sites. For my cooking related sites, the content
is typically recipes, but with webpages optimized to help
the search engines know what a specific page is about.

Briefly, in optimizing a webpage, I make sure that my
most important keywords are use in my titles, description
metatags, and in strategic places throughout the page.

In my opinion, the reason that my pages rank so highly
though is because others page (on other websites
across the Internet) tell the search engines that my pages
are about specific terms. I accomplish this by getting
tons of hyperlinks from other sites, where the anchor text
contains my long-tail keywords.

I get those links by posting my content on those other
sites. My articles, videos, press releases, and audios are
on high pagerank sites, and there are links in or near this
content pointing back to my sites.

Those links amount to those other sites pointing to my site
and telling the search engines that my site is about those
keywords. Those links from “authority sites” are like
having well-respected people give you an endorsement!

Just as importantly, those hyperlink “recommend” my sites
to visitors on those other sites. They tell those visitors
to go to my site for more similar content, and those
visitors come in droves!

In case you’re wondering how I spread so much content
across so many sites, my answer is automation. Instead
of visiting hundreds of sites and hand posting this
content, I upload it to software (or more specifically
servers on other sites) and automate the distribution
process. Using software, I can do in 10 minutes what it
would literally take me days to do manually.

When I tell you what I do, and how I do it, it sounds
really simple doesn’t it?

It is!

However, there is another key. In many niches, when going
after certain keywords, you need to publish a LOT of
content, and you need a LOT of links pointing to you.
That’s why the software is so critical. Without automation
I wouldn’t be able to accomplish 1/10th as much. I
wouldn’t be able to generate the necessary mass.

I know, now you’re probably thinking that my traffic
generation secrets aren’t so amazing. Actually, they’re
not, but they are very effective. That is, they are very
effective if you acknowledge one other important caveat.
That caveat is simply that you have to use this knowledge.
You have to actually generate the content and then
distribute it around the Internet.

Now that you know my secret, you need to take advantage
of it. Don’t you dare think that it won’t do much good
“because your competitors will also know the secret.”
Here’s another not so secret “secret”… most people even
when they know exactly what to do, and even see proof that
it works, will do absolutely nothing. That’s the beauty
of it all. To pull ahead of your competitors, you only
need to do it!

Jack Humphrey interviewed (did a fireside chat) with
me earlier today. We talked about one of my favorite
traffic generation method, one I’ve used for nearly
a dozen years.

We discussed content syndication.

I shared my system for repurposing content.

We discussed topics such as duplicate content,
where to post articles first, formats to output
repurposed content, social networking, etc.

We discussed the difference between how I operate
and how “hard core bloggers” - those who use
blogging exclusively, operate.

My Super-Effective Article Writing Formula
Copyright 2009 Willie Crawford

Here’s the formula that I use to quickly write informative
articles that get results. For many of the articles that
I write my goal is to get visitors to a website where they
take some action related to the topic of the article.
Often the action that they take is to buy some product that
I recommend.

Here is the formula that I use to write articles almost in
an assembly line fashion. The reason that I write so many
articles is that in some niches you need dozens, even
hundreds of articles, to break through the clutter.

I begin with keyword research. You want to know what
keyword phrases your ideal customers are using when
searching online. They come online searching for solutions
to their problems, and when they come across your articles
offering a solution, they become raving fans.

To do keyword research, I often use the “Google External
Keyword Tool.” You can find it by googling that term. This
tool shows you how many searches are made on a given term
in a month, plus how many webpages there are out there
already targeting that phrase. The tool also suggests
related terms that you might want to target. You can use
this tool to compile a list of suitable keywords and then
download your research results in an Excel spreadsheet.

In looking at keywords, what you’re trying to identify,
in addition to search volume, is “What problems are these
searchers try to solve.” People come online looking for
solutions to their problems. You identify those problems
and then let them know (via your articles) that you have
the perfect solution.

In crafting my article titles, I use my keywords but also
work in a promised benefit. My titles promise to show them
the solution to a nagging problem. When they see that title
listed in the search engines, this is what entices them to
click through to your target site.

In crafting the body of my articles, I use the “problem,
agitate, solution” formula. I describe the problem to let
the reader know that I understand their problems. I then
go into excruciating details explaining the problem, and
how it’s not going to get any better unless they do
something about it. Finally, I point out the obvious solution,
which is my recommended product.

Sometimes I only point them to a website to read more about
the problem. On that website, they’ll also find my
recommended solution. This is a less-threatening, soft-sell
approach.

When I do my keyword research, I sometimes identify hundreds
of related keywords that are being searched on a lot. At
the same time, I identify several different painful problems
(or variations of the same problem). This is what allows me
to write articles in almost an assembly line fashion.

After the articles are written, I use an automated submission
service to submit them to the top article directories. I
use automated submissions because otherwise I’d spend countless
hours submitting each article (not a very good use of our time).

In the resource box of these articles, I point readers to a
target site. Where permitted I use anchor text in the links
in these resource boxes. That anchor text is generally the
keyword that I’m targeting (the same keyword that I used in
my title).

I also post these articles to my blogs or maybe to a static
page on one of my sites.

Since I like to leverage my time, I also turn many of my
articles into videos, and podcasts. I generally create the
videos by putting the main points of the articles on
PowerPoint slides. Then I read the article as I go through
the slides - recording then using Camtasia (screen capture
software).

Alternatively, I sometimes simply turn the text of an article
into a PDF. Then I scroll down my computer screen reading
the article, and again, recording it using Camtasia.

To create the podcast you can use recording software
probably already on your computer, or you can download
one many free pieces of software such as Audacity.
Simply read the article as you record it. I generally save
it as an MP3.

Submit the videos to video sharing sites, and submit the
audio to podcast sites. I use an automated submission
service for this, submitting to numerous sites!

Here’s one final tactic that I use to get my articles to
rank higher for a target keyword and get noticed more
readily in the search engines. I look for ways to create
external links pointing to my article in one location -
generally my main blog. I do this by bookmarking the blog
post that contains the article. This is perhaps the
easiest way to give the article a search engine boost.

There you have it, my super-effective article writing formula.
It generates a steady stream of high quality website traffic
for me, and a steady stream of orders too. Feel free to use
it.

How To Generate Free Website Traffic FAST
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford

It goes without saying that if you don’t have website
traffic, the other components of your web business can’t
work very effectively. Without eyeballs on your sales
letter, you won’t make any sales!

There are many ways to generate fast free website traffic,
but many of them aren’t readily available to the average,
lesser-known marketer.

Joint ventures are an excellent way to get tons of others
to send you there traffic. However, joint ventures hinge
upon relationships/connections, and many of the people
with the most traffic have tons of their own products to
promote. Those who own large lists are also approached
about joint ventures so often that they may have
commitments that extend out past six months.

If you do have a large list, getting immediate traffic to
your website can be as simple as sending a compelling
email. However, it takes time to build a quality list.
It also takes time to build strong relationships and
trust with your list members.

Another one of my favorite ways to generate lots of free
traffic is by creating an inexpensive product and then
allowing others to selling it and keep 100% of the
profit. However, that does require a product on a really
hot topic, and you still have to recruit affiliates.

You are also giving away 100% of the money on the sale
(sacrificing early profits), and your goal there is not
so much traffic but to build a list. I do often do
this, using a script called Rapid Action Profits, which
deposits proceed from the sale directly into my
affiliates Paypal accounts while adding the new
subscriber to my list automatically.

However, for generating traffic that is free, fast, and
even long-term, I recommend creating lots of content
and putting it in the path of the search engines. In
fact, I often do this when I’m launching a new product,
or even promoting a new affiliate product. Here are
the down and dirty steps that I take:

1) Do your keyword research, striving to identify the
“buying keywords” that your target customers are using.
One easy way to do that is to use the “Google
External Keyword Tool” to research which keywords get
the most searches. This tool is free to use, and will
also suggest related keywords to you.

What you are looking for is evidence that people are
searching on a given phrase, and that those people are
spending money. The Google External Keyword Tool will
tell you this.

You can also enter a keyword phrase that you plan to target
into the regular Google search box, and look at how many
Google AdWords ads display on the right side of the page.
These are people paying for each click from people who
search on that term, and then click through to their sites.
Presumably, they wouldn’t pay for those clicks unless these
customers were spending money.

2) Use your target keywords to craft titles for 20 articles.
In addition to the keywords make sure that your title also
promises some benefit. The article title is what’s going
to get you the most traction in the search engines.

3) Actually write those 20 articles. They can be as short
as 400 words. If you have trouble writing, go to several
of the bigger article directories and read what others have
written on the topic. Also Google the keyword and look at
what experts have had to say on the topic. Then write
the articles.

If you are still stumped, simply plug your mike into your
computer and then talk about the topic. Most of us are
certainly good at talking. Record your thoughts then go
back and organize them and you have an article (or
several articles).

Add a resource box to the article that tells the reader
to go to your site for more information, or resources
(your product) on the topic. When linking back to your
site, use your keyword as the anchor text where
permitted.

4) Turn each article into a video. The simplest way to do
this is probably to put your main points on PowerPoint
slides. Then as you read your article, flip through the
slides, and record it using Camtasia screen capture
software. As easy as that, you have a movie.

5) Turn each article into a podcast (an MP3). Just read
the article and record it using software built right into
your computer. You can also download free recording
software for tons of places on the internet. One of my
favorites is Audacity.

7) Write several press releases using the article titles
as your topic. Here you need to get a little creative, but
as an example, for this article I would use, “Website
Traffic Expert Reveals How To Generate Free website Traffic
Fast.”

These press releases are being written for SEO purposes,
so the exact wording is not so critical. You are going
to share several point in the press release and then you
are going to link to one or two websites that you want to
call attention to. Your links will use your keywords as
the anchor text.

Submit these articles, videos, podcasts, and press
releases to article directories, video sharing sites,
podcast aggregators, and free press release sites. Since
I do this for numerous products and projects, I use an
automated submission site. Being a very prolific writer,
I have weeks when I may do 20-40 articles (while still
running my web business).

9) “Rinse and repeat!” What happens over time is that
you’ll soon have so much content in cyberspace that you’ll
achieve critical mass. At that point you’ll rank for your
most important keywords as well as lots of longtail keywords.
At that point, you’ll be amazed at the traffic.

To speed up the process you can also post your articles to
an optimized WordPress blog that’s been configured to “ping”
RSS aggregators, social networking sites, and bookmarking
sites each time that you post. If you don’t know how to
do that, it’s beyond the scope of this article, but most
webmasters familiar with WordPress can set that up quickly
for you. WordPress is very simple, yet very powerful.

There you have it, “How to generate free website traffic
fast!” Yes, there is work involved, but when you see the
results, you’ll know that it was well worth it.

If you’re not making the level of sales that you’d
like, the main reason is probably that you’re not
getting enough traffic to your website, and it’s
probably not your fault. You have to get the traffic
before any of the other factors come into play.

If you are like most online entrepreneurs, you’ve
been mislead about HOW to generate more traffic to
your website. You’ve read course after course on the
topic, but those course were often ghostwritten by
individuals who were totally clueless about website
traffic generation.

Big name gurus often described the course that they
wanted written on outsourcing sites, and then went
with the lowest bidder on the writing project. Then
they hawked their courses through some hyped-up
product launch, where most of those selling the course
didn’t even bother to read it, and notice the flaws.

I’ve been in business online for over a dozen years
because I am successful at generating massive free
traffic to my sites. I’ve done this primarily through
generating lots of “content” - mainly articles.

Your customers go online looking for solutions to
their problems. When you have lots of content
scattered across cyberspace, your customers find what
you’ve shared, read or listen to it, and then click
through to your site. They arrive at your site pre-sold
on YOU and ready to buy your products. It’s as simple
as that.

This has worked for over a dozen years, and continues
to work great today. The only changes have been that
now multi-media (video, and audio) are a very necessary
part of the content mix.

What’s also changed is that you now need more articles,
videos, audios, and press releases to break through the
clutter and get noticed. In some niches, you have to
publish dozens, maybe even hundreds of articles, to
become the dominant expert. Then you need to get you
content out to the top article directories, video sharing
sites, podcast sites, and press release sites.

That sounds like a huge job, and without automation it
is. However, there are sites where you upload your
content to a server, select which sites you want it
submitted to, click the submit button, and it’s taken
care of. This allows you to do in about 2 minutes
what it would take you hours to do manually.

I personally use and recommend Easy Push Button Traffic.
Easy Push Button Traffic currently costs 1/4 as much
as it’s leading competitor, Traffic Geyser, and works
beautifully.

With Easy Push Button Traffic, you can submit an
unlimited number of articles, videos, podcasts, and
press releases each month for one low price. Other
sites issue you so many credits per month - NOT
unlimited submissions.

Easy Push Button Traffic is also 100% whitehat. They
do not encourage you to do things such as spinning
content, or submitting the same content multiple
times with different titles. The sites that you
submit to eventually catch on to this type of
nonsense, and then they will ban you, then all of your
work will be for nothing. EPBT encourages you to
think long-term, and focus on having a steady flow of
quality traffic.

There are no big secrets to website traffic generation.
I have found the easiest ways to generate free traffic
though, and it’s “standing in front of the traffic”
by generating lots of content.

Take a look at Easy Push Button Traffic now. Since
you’re my subscriber, I’ve even got a special deal

Many of you know that I am the co-owner of
http://EasyPushButtonTraffic.com

This system lets you semi-automatically submit
your articles, press releases, podcasts and
videos to appropriate sites. I say semi-automatically
because many sites do require that you specify a
category for your submissions.

Basically, you upload your content to our server,
choose the sites you want to submit to, and we
take it from there. You don’t tie up your
computer all day.

You get unlimited submissions for one low price
(and that price right now is $1).

When I say unlimited submissions, I MEAN IT!
Our leading competitor allows you so many
submission credits per month and charge you $97
per month for that.

We charge $27 per month, but are running a special
trial offer.

*** Here’s the secret… ***

That trail offer is not mentioned anywhere on our
website. However, when you use this link, and
click through to the orderform, you will see it:
