Thank you forum/ guru wanted

14 replies
This is a half thank you and half an help post, sorry if I bore any of you.

I come across this forum about 24 days ago, honestly I have spent about 12 hours a day reading reading and reading, I would like to thank anyone who has contributed positively in forum, I do not see my self as an seo guy but from what I have learned here it has enabled to open doors that was in the past closed, i.e enabled me to launch my very own products and services (not going to url them but they are taxi company, e-cigs and an on line sweet shop, (in the pipe line is also an wedding directory, taxi directory and a free resource centre for dementia suffers/family members), all the above I was quoted silly prices for seo but I have always stuck to my guns that I would not buy something I dont understand, so I went about learning more (and after a few hours I found my self engulfed in something I enjoyed - learning!!). So this is what I have done so far.

Market samurai - now I know which key words i can target
Best spinner - only if I had this tool at university lol
UAW - spin and post and repeat
ping fm - ping all submitted directories

now it comes to the help part.

this is how I have set up my link wheel

uaw ----> goes to big boy article directories (enzine, squidoo, hubpages,wordpress) -----> to my site

uaw -----> edu/gov/ac blogs and sites -----> to my site

all the UAW articles are pinged

I have just brought scrape box - still in process of learning how to use it (private proxy's rented), kind of know how to find blogs i.e site:.edu ************* etc (sorry brought this information edu squeeze so would not infringe copy right)
These are some of the tools I am looking at using:



bookmarkwiz Automatic Social Bookmarking Software - BookmarkWIZ same as ping fm but costs $90
ALN Service not read to much about this
BuildMyRank from what I have read they lose link juice after 1 year
magic submitter - was thinking of using this but want to master uaw first
seo nuke - rated as the best - but very complex to use
article marketing robot - not read much about this
book marking demon cant remember anything about this product
SocialBot Social Bookmarking Software - same as ping fm?
articl edemon - similar to uaw?

I have read and learned (I think as much as I can without proper direction), so I am looking for a mentor / coach, I don't need pay per click, or click bank etc or do this and you will make $10,000 per blog no offence I am not here for that I don't need to make quick money or miracles I want someone that gives me skills for life , a monitor has to understand what drivers me .......

achievement and the ability to improve myself on a daily bases, I want someone with proven results of getting web sites to rank 1 for high competitive words (always been a firm believer if you're going to do something learn to do it right), now people going to ask why do I need someone that good, if the teacher only teaches me 10% of what they know and I only take in 1% that 1% is equivalent of one years trial and error
I cant pm guys (not enough posts) so if any one has something I would value just pop me your email address and I will contact you back.
No offence coaches / tutors please don't message me if you think I am an easy person to sell to, as I will research you and your ability to do what you say you can. Ideally uk based 1 on 1 but any others who are good enough I would love to hear from.

So any advice would be appreciated,

    Personally I think you have done good upto now, you have learned SEO and instead of taking the easy way out, you have used it instead of tried to sell your knowledge.

    My completely unbiased advice would be to carry on what you are doing (dropping some of the dodgy tools though, it's artificial SEO and leaves you open to getting de-indexed) and concentrate on building informative and relevant links into your site.

    You really don't need a mentor to be successful. You already have the basics, you are willing to invest and you are happy to action your knowledge. This actually puts you above the majority on guru's I know.

    That's your problem. Finding a Guru that knows as much as you already do.

    Good luck though.

      Indeed - Any tools that automate artificial link-building are considered bad by Google. It want's no spam inbound links, only natural ones.

      To some extent, we all play the game, but the tools leave you more liable than most.

    You have done well so far. I would suggest, instead of continuing investing in numerous tools, you continue to learn the basics.

    Decide on which strategy you want to implement first(CPA, Affiliate Marketing, Site flipping, etc.) Then what ever it is you decide on just give it your all. Write down a plan of action to achieve your goals, then implement the plan. Just know it will take many hours of work and a whole lot of effort on your part.

    Having tools and a mentor can be a good thing, but what is it that you really need to get PAID? Concentrate a large percentage of your effort on getting _______, so that you will make money.

      Congratulations on your progress so far. If you've managed to get this far on your own then I think you can get a whole lot further before you need a mentor. Everything you need to know can be found in this forum and War Room membership might just be the best $37 you ever spend. Keep doing what you're doing and stay focused because there will be lots of shiny objects trying to distract you on your way. If you get into buying WSO's then only buy what is DIRECTLY relevant to the project you are working on.

      Hope that helps,

      Nadim.

      I have never chased money, I have all ways chased success and for some reason money just follows, in terms of goals I want high volume of site visitors with a low bounce rate, which shows to me that they are getting value which in turn will build customer loyalty and change customers into clients .

      compared to normal seo - I have value on the sites I work on for e.g taxi company I own , e -cig is a 50% partnership , sweet shop 50% partnership, so the affiliate marketing etc is something I would not look at,

      to my limited knowledge - best way to get people on to my site with low bounce rate is relevant high quality content

      The purpose of a linkwheel is to get you as high up SERPS as possible. The point is that the links are artificial so while they might get your site up the rankings, upon closer inspection, it will be apparent that all your inbound links are user-generated. These kind of tools are brilliant for trending keywords, but not a good model for a sustainable site.

        Hi,

        Well done Warrior. I would recommend a mentor only if you feel you are overwhelmed by IM and what you are doing. Sometime a good mentor can also minimize your learning curve on a particular field of IM.

        Continue the good work!

        David

    My advice...

    1. Quit buying stuff. Why are you buying all this stuff anyway? Because you know it will help you acheive your goal, or because you feel empowered in some way when doing so? Half of that crap you dont even need, trust me.

    2. Drop everything and buy an SEO Course. Unfortunately, mines not ready yet (I really wish it was, because it would help you enormously) but Ill PM you with one I would recommend.

    3. Learn to OUTSOURCE. You could be potentially making one of the most common mistakes most of us make - and that is, youre trying to do everything. While you're fiddling around with code, we're making money.

    4. Know what you're doing, and WHY YOURE DOING IT. Theres no point just "doing stuff" if you have no idea why.

    5. Think about your GOALS. What are they? Once you figure this out, then WORK BACKWARDS. Start at the end and work backwards. Otherwise youre just working without purpose.

    PS. You might want to fix this on your homepage

    Johnnie has some good tips for you in there. and I agree with him.

    Also UAW i think is going to be hammered by google soon. The other article blasting services has. And you might have not noticed but alot of google rankings and traffic has died off lately. There are lots of warriors talking about this.
