Yeah magical programs, unfortunately, are so 2010...

JustLookin

If you want to be successful in anything, you gotta put in the work.

Quick fixes in anything in life don't work and that includes IM.

Like others said, if you want to magically get a #1 spot without doing any work, take a few pills to keep you in that magic utopia because it doesn't quite work that way.

You need to completely wipe those fantasy laden Clickbank screen shots from your mind and realise only YOU can forge your own pathway to online success. No one program, tactic or magic button is going to do that for you.

Having said that, let me briefly share my little experience with organic SEO.

In order to understand how Google ranks and how to get your website looked upon favorably, one must understand Google has gone from a global search behemoth back in the day to a modern-day streamlined gatekeeper.

It used to be as easy as putting up 20 one page landing pages and POW!

You know what happened as a result of this ridiculous trend that took place across hundreds of thousands of industries?

Google was flooded with complaints that their search was yielding garbage results.

Searchers started to get really frustrated that instead of finding useful, relevant info, they would end up on a page filled with mumbo jumbo.

Google soon wielded the axe and trimmed all those sites from their optimum search results, relegating them to the dustbin of poor user experience sites.

That's why now, you can type in basically any keyword and the vast majority of time, you are going to get pretty relevant results to what you're looking for.

Here's an example.

Type in manuka honey into Google.

Look at the results.

Pretty relevant right?

So how does this apply here?

Before anything, make your sites relevant to your keyword/s. Make them give a comprehensive user experience. Don't give them a reason to go anywhere else. Give them tips, facts, tools, content, images and do it in a clean, easy to digest way that keeps them on your site and you have yourself a winner.

Check your on-page factors and keep them nice and tight. Page and heading titles, keyword relevancy, bold and underline first paragraph kw's, it all helps.

After you've made a high quality site, build links to it by way of backlinks, forum posts, article spinning. That's usually enough to get you right up there if there's little competition.

If you think this relatively one-off effort is too much work, pay someone to do it for you. If you still look for an excuse not to even do that, then I guess slaving at an office for 10 hours a day, fighting nauseating traffic and office politics is for you after all.

Since I started doing that to my sites, I consistently rank in the top 3, first page for my sites by simply asking myself:

"If I was searching for XYZ, would I go to any other competing site and WHY?"

I check out my competition and see if I've missed anything.

In other words, I don't give Google a reason NOT to rank me high since it will deprive their users of a relevant, unique experience.

Use SE Sniper IN CONJUNCTION with a sustained effort and you will see very quickly Google rewards those who put in the work.

ThisIsMyHealth

Couldn't have said it any better JustLookin...and this guy has seen the ups and downs with SE Sniper. He's watched his sites drop hundreds of spots only to climb back higher for most of them; but he had the links and the onpage SEO. He didn't expect miracles he just used the program the way it was meant to be used and got results.

One of the best success stories I've seen with Sniper...

mysteryleaves

ref ThisIsMyHealth reply to my post earlier

ok then the sales page needs to be changed here is a tiny bit

Today, within the next 5 minutes, you can easily start boosting search engine rankings to any site, and page, any blog, any affiliate link... well, you get the idea.

It says any site, caseyallen looks an 100% gen to me l am sure he would not make a statement saying the above "any site", which it could be a new one if it was not true, l have faith with his software, i am given it a chance based on his sales page lam sure he would not make false statements of his product

marketees

Hope .de Version is coming soon :-)
How about proxies? Can the same list be used for foreign sites?

ThisIsMyHealth

What I didn't see on his sales page was the part that said "don't worry about silly things like SEO and backlinks because this program eliminates the need for any other factors in search engine rankings!"

You won't find that on his sales page because Casey isn't trying to trick people into thinking this program eliminates the need for a complete SEO strategy. Like I said, if your keyword has zero competition, you stand a good chance at seeing results using nothing but this program.

But if your keyword has ANY competition, don't be surprised if absolutely nothing happens on your 2 week trial of Sniper. Why? Because you're not using it effectively, you're simply taking two words from his sales page (any site) and trying to say that this program should work on your site regardless of any other factors.

That's naive at best and makes me think you're either very new to this game and looking for a magic formula to internet riches, or simply too lazy to do the work yourself and looking for the easy way out. Either way, unfortunately, will not get you far in this internet marketing game.

ThisIsMyHealth

Maybe I'm way off here, but it's my opinion that the language of the website and the country code of the top level domain (TLD) are far more important in ranking on a country-specific Google than where your traffic comes from.

I have hits coming from all over the world - India, Australia, Canada, Europe, UAE, Africa, Brazil, etc. - but if I wanted to increase my search engine ranking for a specific country, I would focus more on language and correct TLD for that country over getting proxies that matched my target country.

Is your site optimized for the specific country you're targeting?

iAmNameLess

Ummm, I'm new to the site... was something I said "Spammy"?

Would I come back to this thread and see if someone responded to me? I'm looking for a program to help with SEO. I'm pretty new but digesting tons and tons of information... I'm doing articles, press releases, back links. Sorry post nazi.

Update On My Test Results:

A private domain used for nothing more than scripts.

Contains a single WordPress install with Zero content other than the title.

Ran Sniper in the "Get Popular" mode 4 times, 3 times for 3 hours, 4th time 10 minutes with 10 threads over the last month.

Each sniper run was targeting 3 individual KW's of a 4 word longtail WP Title.

Todays rank check results:

Longtail = #1 on Yahoo & Bing, Nothing with Google.

2 of the 3 keywords = No rank.

1 of the 3 keywords = 129 on Yahoo, nothing with Google or Bing

Prior to this the domain did not rank for anything, the only positive from the past runs was that the site was finally cached by Google for the first time in 6 years.

Google was never chosen as one of the search engines in Sniper (I'm paranoid) Yahoo, Bing, Lycos plus one or two of the Meta engines.

Again.... There is absolutely zero content available to the SE's other than the WP Title.

The keyword that ranked 129 with Yahoo is for the most part niche specific to the construction trades, the two that didn't rank are common everyday words.

My takeaway from these results..... I'm very disappointed with Yahoo that they would actually rank a site with zero content. Go figure.

Another takeaway for me is that these results run counter to my SEO beliefs...... This site honestly should not show up at all in the SERPs let alone rank.

Scratching my head,
Mark

ThisIsMyHealth

Great test!

I've noticed the same thing in regards to Yahoo - ranking on there seems to run counter to a lot of common SEO practices. It's like they favor newer domains or content over backlinks and on-page SEO. I'm very baffled by their ranking algorithm.

wrays

Hi there Casey, correct me if I am wrong...

If I already have 'Hide My Ass', I CAN just log on with different IP, look for my own domain and click on it --> Of course, this is a MANUAL approach.

With your SEO software, it just automates the manual work I describe above.

Do I understand this correctly?

Also, is using Internet Explorer is a MUST? Or we can also use other browser?

THANKS!

MisterE

Wrays, Casey is offline right now so I'll answer for him. If he has any additional info he'll surely post it.

Hi Casey,

I have a domain name I purchased 3 months ago (in case you're interested, it is: www.whycantpeoplebebotheredtoreadthreads.com) and I'd like to get get it ranking at Position 1 on the first page of Google for the keyword "iPod".

Some questions for you:

1. Will I need to actually set up a website? (as I mentioned, I already have the domain name - which is obviously the most important bit - so I don't really see the point of setting up a website as well)

2. I obviously want a guarantee that my domain will rank position 1 for the term "iPod" within a reasonable time, so I'm giving you a whole 5 days for the software to get it there.

But I need to be sure that you'll refund my money, and you could be a Nigerian scammer. So could you please provide me with the following:

1. Certified copy of your Passport
2. Certified copy of your Driver's License
3. Your credit rating report
4. Details of 5 references
5. A photo of you holding up today's newspaper with the date clearly showing

Please also confirm that I do indeed have 14 days (i.e. 24 x 14 = 336 Hours) to claim under your guarantee. Which time zone is this based on? How do you account for international time differences? Do you include non-working days in the 14 days?

And if I ask for a refund, will you compensate me for my wasted time?

3. I'm not sure about "backlinks"? If I create 20 shortcuts to your program on my Windows Desktop thing, will that do?

4. I'm also unsure about proxies. Are they an American type of pixie?

If all the above is okay, please send me my software ASAP! (the sooner we start, then the sooner I can put my chargeback request in!)

Thanks!

The proxies provides are running very slowly at the moment. I suggest people consider looking elsewhere for them. Check out Eliteproxy or Forum Proxy Leacher, either of which will offer plenty of L1 or L2 proxies.

Also, as far as Keyword Corrall goes, I've found you can run it while running SES without much risk of the automated queries error if you set the timeout to 35-40 seconds or more, I spent a while testing it, and ran through a list of 150 with these settings without a problem.

I'm currently running 4 instances of SES on long-tails with one domain each, with 1-5k exact match search volume keywords, 24 hours a day at around 1.5 loops an hour with 5-7 keywords each. I really do hope to see results from at least one of them before long.

In spite of all the justified criticism towards people making ridiculous statements concerning magic bullets, I do have my doubts here. After all, everyone is using lots of methods to rank their sites, and google has a strong tendency to dance.

Now I'm not expecting results overnight, but Casey has said that it has taken anywhere between a day and 7 weeks, can I assume this is referring to just the sniper mode? Based on this, I will expect to see results on at least one of my four sites within the first two weeks (around a week left). Some are on sniper mode, others on get popular. No changes for any within the first week.

Please don't have a go at me for being impatient, these are all low competition keywords, and all I'm asking is for some progress from just one of four projects.

powercazh

Hello Rainmak3r,
What are your SE sniper settings for the ezine and 2 keywords. thanks

Tacobomb

Casey,
I figured out that I was losing disk space to AVG anti-virus software .dmp files. I lost 9gb in less than 24 hours. I was able to find and delete the .dmp files by using WinDirStat which you and Mark suggested I use.

I uninstalled and reinstalled AVG and will see if it continues.
Like I said before, I don't have any issues except when I run SES.

Just thought I would let you know if anybody else comes across this.

Jim

wrays

Hi Casey,

Just bought your software, currently I am testing it out on two of my articles (one EzineArticle and one ArticlesBase).

Questions:

1. For Ezine article, when I enter the URL, I did not include "www". Is this ok?

2. Also, once I click on the "Sniper Mode" button, the software will start working. But, when is it going to finish? I mean how do I know when it is going to complete? Do I need to click on the STOP button? Or it will finish and stop by itself when the proxy list is exhausted?

3. At the end of the instruction guide, you mentioned that some proxies will die throughout the day. How do I know which proxy is dead?

Please advise...

THANKS!

caseyallen

@MisterE (Mark), I've had the same experience. I had a wordpress blog with nothing but "Hello World" post, 2 days old, no se submissions, nothing, ran se sniper in get popular mode, and it was indexed that night. Then it kept moving up and up.. with zero content, and it went against everything I heard that "Content is King". Strange. :/

Good that we can manipulate things a bit, but strange that the big search engines wouldn't give content sites more power over highly searched sites (with no content).

------------------

@wrays, Yes you sure can. You can just keep changing your IP/proxy (make sure it's completely anonymous. Search for your keyword, find your site, and click on it. =)

A lot of work, and boring, but Free. =)

Also, yes you can use any browser, not just I.E.

------------------

@Woggy, Oh man that was the funniest thing I've ever read, probably in my whole life. Oh man I almost peed on myself just now. No kidding. lmao

------------------

@Tacobomb, Glad you got it figured out! Did you try WinDirStat, I love that program, it finds hidden files eating up your disk space.

Thanks for updating us.

------------------

@wrays, When you go to your ezine article, if it doesn't have the www, then yes leave it off.

So it you'd use
ezinearticles.com/your-article-here
Or whatever their format is. =)

Also, the program will skip any dead proxies, and find working ones.

If you have at least 100 proxies loaded in, it'll last you throughout the day. But make sure you test and load in new ones the next day. I try to change mine twice a day, but if I get real busy, I just let it go throughout the day, then when I wake up the next day I test and load in new ones.

Hope this helps. =)

scully109

I definitely will get this product my link is rank pretty good but not high enough for me.

vetteran

A Fochwitt.

+ Double your money back, a copy free + pint of blood.

vetteran

@wrays

Use Sniper mode when/if your page/s is/are in top 5 - 10.
SES does not stop until you tell it to.
Loop count is shown when the Basic tab is on top.

vetteran

No.

You seem to be misunderstanding.

A search only counts if the IP is different.

wrays

Hi Casey,

I have one URL from ArticlesBase + ONE keyword.
And one URL from EzineArticles + ONE keyword.

SES seems to be running forever...
I have the following settings:
Min: 15, Max: 30, Thread: 5, Timeout: 20/20.

Do the settings make sense?
Any tip on how to speed thing up?

Also, you suggest us to change the proxy list at least twice a day but we only receive one proxy list from you each day. Any suggestion where to get more proxy list? Your recommendation? I have never bought a proxy list before.

Thanks!

wrays

But in the FAQ, Casey suggests the following....

"If you’re domains aren’t in the top 15 pages of google, then run Get Popular to get them there, then hit it with Sniper mode."

Both of my articles are on 2nd page of Google position #18 and #19, so I am hitting them with the "Sniper mode".

But problem is.... SES has been running for more than 4 hours but when I check the number of views on my Ezine Article, the number does not increase. Do you know what did I do wrong?

tehnolife

Hi, please turn me green in your forum. My emails: tehnoad@yahoo.com .Thanks.

JustLookin

You probably need to wait longer than four hours...

vetteran

@wrays

You are right to use Sniper mode in that case - which is what I said.

Not enough info to know whether your settings are good.

Need number of SE and current monthly search rates for
your kw.

You said "SES seems to be running forever".
Until you stop it, it will - or do you mean that it's running
but not completing a loop?

wrays

@vetteran

Here are my settings:

threads: 5
timeout(send): 20
timeout(recv): 20
Min-Max: 15-30
I selected ALL Search Engines.
Sniper Mode
Now I only run One URL and One Keyword.

The URL is an article that I submitted to EzineArticles.

Do you know why the number of views for my Ezine article DOES NOT increase? Or I have to wait longer?

By the way... how do you check whether SES completing a loop or not?

Thanks!

sm1122

hi casey anyway i have no technical knowledge about proxies, net frame or installation, but i think i am not stupid i should be able to follow instruction, i dont have domain address of my own, only affiliate links such as click bank and other affiliate networks.. let me know so i can jump in to grab your software

sm1122

the testimonial itself stand out your product so you did a great job thanks casey otherwise people would boo you, great repetation

vetteran

Don't bother with all SE!

Personal choice is Google, Yahoo and Bing, others
are "Also rans."

Green bar moves across and a loop count shows when the
Basic tab is top. (Loop 1 onwards)
Bottom line shows what the prog is working on.

Did you test and sort the Proxies? (I only use < 700ms proxies)
(L1 and L2)

Did you highlight the url in the Domain list before you added
the KW in the box?

vetteran

SES works on an URL, irrelevant whether you own it.

You are strongly advised to register a domain (.com)
incorporating your best keyword. If already taken, tack
a small word on the end eg yes, to, for, review is often used too.

Registering and hosting is cheap, loads of excellent and free
Wordpress designs. (eg Twenty-ten with Twenty Ten Weaver - see from my sig)

Worry not about technical knowledge, not a load is needed
and learnable where needed.

wrays

@vetteran

I can see the green bar moves across (very slowly) but I do not see any number or loop count when the Basic tab is top.

At the bottom, I see...

"Working on: Domain --> ezinearticles.com/?Article-Title&id=xxxx"

How do you test and sort the Proxies? What are < 700ms proxies? What are L1 and L2???

I use the proxy list that is given by Casey. I have read the instruction guide again but I don't see anything about testing and sorting proxies like you mentioned above. Please help... I am a bit lost here.

EDIT: Yes I did highlight the domain or URL before I added the keyword.

Thanks!

wrays

OK, it is my fault, I did not read the text file "Proxies-READ". I read it and now I understand what vetteran was talking about.... THANKS!


One question....

If I STOP the program and START it again, what will happen? Will it start all over or pick up from where it left off?

vetteran

Get the free edition of Elite Proxy Switcher.
Get the day's proxies.
Open all Directory, select all
Paste into EPS
Click edit
Select all
Test (It'll take a while!)
When done, click delay to sort
Click save icon
Tick level 1, level 2 and speed.

I take IPs up to about 700ms but feel free
to go to higher figures.

I note where the max speed that I
want finishes, untick Speed then highlight
the L1 IPs and paste into Notepad, similarly
for L2.
Save the sorted list as Proxyist.txt

Easier to do than it reads!

Stop SES before you load the new list.

(EPS will hold the all the IPs so before
you load the next batch for testing
Edit - Select all - click minus sign.)

Loop count will not show until end of first one.

vetteran

I'll will continue.

You forgot RTFM!

mysteryleaves

With ref to my other posts, l have two newish domains one l will leave with little seo just meta keys, the other lam going to do more 6 articles per month plus re-spins posting to 400 article sites and blog sites, l want to compare the two at the end of eight weeks, by then links should be building and traffic building up, l will post with results both sites will have sniper on them.

wrays

Hi Casey,

Another question....

I know we get a new proxy list from you each day, but is it advisable to use the old proxy list?

For example, let say I use the proxy list dated 25 December 2010, is it advisable?

Thanks.

MisterE

Excellent info Jim!

Glad you posted it.

Mark

Chris Baxter

I've just done a test for you, and virtually all the proxies are now no longer working.

So, the answer is to always use an up to date proxy list that you have cleaned.

HTH

yanton

i am running sniper now in 'get popular' mode.

as the green bar moves across to completion, how many posts does this represent?

i am running one domain and about 100 phrases.

caseyallen

@wrays, Your settings are ok. I'd go for a Min: 25 Max 50

The proxies are what slow you down, there's a delay in proxies connecting, etc

You can use the same list, just test it twice a day, and save only working level 1 and 2 proxies.

Simon (Vetteran) also tests for delay, which is wise if you want it to run faster. I don't mind how slow it runs sometimes, lol, I just don't watch it, or it'll be like watching the grass grow.

----------------------------

@tehnolife, I made you green. =)

You can read the post, and then you never have to log in again, it'll tell you how to get the proxies right from your browser. No going to the support forum, no waiting on my emails, just type in and save. =)

-----------------------------

@sm1122, Yes you'll have plenty of help to get you started. =)

-----------------------------

@wrays, No I wouldn't use the old ones, and I delete the old ones anyway. =) The new ones will have all the still working old proxies, plus new ones.
