Hi Sean, thank you very much for delivering such a great value to us. This thread is much more valuable than most WSOs I bought. (I should say these WSOs help me accumulate knowledges step by step.)

Following is my own understanding on internet marketing. It is simple, you just deliver values both Google and readers like. Too simple? Maybe, but it is almost guaranteed to be successful.
The whole process:
1.Choose a niche you like.
It is important, you want to deliver values, how can you do it if you are not interested in this niche and only interested in the money this niche can bring you?
Don't care about too much about market research, you just choose one which is not too competitive.
2.Prepare a high quality report.
You write it or outsource it. The report should deliver great values to the niche readers.
3.Build a squeeze page.
Give out the report for free and build the list.
4.Write plenty of articles
Find as many as possible keywords of your niche, and write or outsource articles based on these keywords. Sean suggest you get 100 keywords. So you should be prepared to write over 100 articles. They should deliver good values to your niche readers.
Tedious? High cost?
No, you are building an absolute authority site, and you site will rank very well in your niche. This is guaranteed. How much money will it make for you?
5.Build a blog.
Schedule posting, post one article every several days.
6.Submit to top article directories
After the articles are posted on your own blog, change the titles of them, and submit to top article directories, such as EzineArticles, Goarticles, and ArticleDashboard, etc. Remember to add links back to your squeeze page.
7.Re-purpose these articles
Make them into PDF, PPT and Video, then submit to popular documents sharing, slide show sharing and video sites. Remember to add links to your squeeze page.
8.Do some bookmarking
Bookmark the urls, don't do too much, you can just bookmark video links.
9.Promote to your list
After subscribers reach a number, begin promoting to your list. You can choose affiliate programs, or your own products. Remember to deliver values, and only recommend high quality products/services to your list. It is very important.
About me:
I am a Chinese, and have run a Chinese website related with stock investing. I haven't done specific SEO, but my site ranks very well for many competitive keywords in the stock investing niche.
Why? Because I write high quality articles which deliver values to my readers, and to Google. Google bring many target readers to me every day, yes, both Google and readers loves my website.
Both this experience and Sean's great thread inspired my thinking on the essences of internet marketing. Yes, it can be simple.
Hope this thread can help warriors who are still struggling on finding a way out.
