				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So recently I purchased a &#8220;Guru&#8221; product, which cost me $2000. I know that most people say that they would never purchase a product like this for several reasons, number 1 being the price, but today I want to tell you about my experience with one of these products and tell you once and for all if it is worth the money or not.</p>
<h2>What the Product is about</h2>
<p>The product was based around creating your own products, which is more importantly labeled an information business. I really decided to buy this program because I had already purchased a few products on the subject but they were extremely lacking, especially when it comes to the market research part of it.</p>
<p>I have never created a product before but for as long as I did SEO and other types of businesses I know that any program that doesn&#8217;t include market research is garbage.</p>
<h2>How I found out about it</h2>
<p>The way that I found out about this product was because I actually bought a $97 product on the same subject by the same person. One of the bonuses were to get a free 30 minute coaching call.</p>
<p>When the coach called me we talked for a little while, basically he asked me about my business and my goals. Once he knew what I was trying to accomplish he gave me some tips and taught me how an information business really should work, which 90% of people get absolutely wrong from the start.</p>
<p>Everything that I learned on that first Coaching call was so valuable to me. I believe that it helped me to fast forward my learning curve years ahead of where I would have been.</p>
<p>Toward the end of the call the coach suggested that because of my goals and the business model that I was trying to build that I should think about buying the big &#8220;guru&#8221; product for $2000.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t really sure and so I ended up asking a bunch of questions. He ended up having to get off the phone so we scheduled a time to speak the next day. After a few minutes on the phone together that day and a couple of key questions I was in.</p>
<h2>What was in it</h2>
<p>Once I purchased the product I went straight into the material. It had 4 or 5 modules with 10 or more videos inside. Each video was usually between 30 minutes to an hour or more.</p>
<p>That was a lot of information. But&#8230;</p>
<p>As a bonus I also got access to all of the guru&#8217;s other High Priced Products, some of which also sold for $2000. That way I could see exactly the breakdown of a quality product.</p>
<p>In total, I had access to 8 products by purchasing the $2000 product</p>
<h2>Bonus</h2>
<p>As an added bonus, which wasn&#8217;t available according to the sales page, was 4 sessions of one on one coaching. Each session was split up over the next 4 or 5 weeks.</p>
<h2>My thoughts</h2>
<p>The first product that I bought at $97 was okay but kind of hard to follow because it was 100% PowerPoint. I  only watched 3 of the videos from that program when I got my free coaching call and ended up buying the high end program.</p>
<p>The high end program was pretty overwhelming at first to be 100% honest. With so much information available to you, it&#8217;s hard to know what to go through first. The coach that suggested the program to me did send me an email telling me how to go through the members area so that I knew what to look through first. However, I felt like what he suggested was just spinning my wheels and that I wasn&#8217;t actually gaining ground with my goals.</p>
<p>The video modules broke down like this:</p>
<p>Module 1: PowerPoint videos that explain the business and everything you need to know about building your Internet business. The guru that recorded these videos is kind of long winded so I really felt that, even though the information was extremely valuable, it was a big waste because I still wasn&#8217;t getting any closer to my goals of starting an information business. I still didn&#8217;t know what to do or how to do it.</p>
<p>Module 2: How to videos. These were even more valuable that Module 1. This module shows you most of what you need to know when it comes to building your sales pages, your ads and your products. It also shows you a pretty decent way to do market research.</p>
<p>The downside of this module is that the coach who does the video doesn&#8217;t go into how to get all of the things you need to do set up. I felt like he just kind of skimmed over some of the details of what you would be doing later on in your business instead of showing how to set it up like he did when he showed how to set up the websites and other stuff.</p>
<p>Module 3: Recorded videos from the weekly webinar series that the guru did when he first released this product. I only watched a few of these so far but the ones I did see were all PowerPoint videos and didn&#8217;t really present things in a way that I felt were helpful to my learning style.</p>
<p>Overall, this course felt like going back to high school. The only thing that really happened within this course was 60 minute lectures with very little in the way of teaching you the steps to take to start building your information business.</p>
<p>The most valuable thing that I got from this product was the 4 sessions of one on one coaching. The coach was so much more valuable than any part of the program that I felt like I would have much rather paid $2000 for personal coaching for a month than for the product.</p>
<p>Turns out that I only needed 2 sessions to really understand exactly what to do and how to do it.</p>
<p>Since I didn&#8217;t feel like the actual product was worth the $2000 that I was spending I decided to ask for a refund. I sent them a message about 4 days out from the time that I needed to ask for my refund to get it. It was Friday evening.</p>
<p>Turns out that this Guru doesn&#8217;t have a quick turn around time for support, or at least cancellations and refunds. They only respond to your support tickets Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. However, I got an email on Sunday saying that they would call me in the next 24 to 48 hours. That put me right at the day that the product would be owned for 30 days.</p>
<p>So what actually happened?</p>
<p>The never called! I called to try to get a hold of an actual person to let them know what was going on but I was sent straight to voice mail and never contacted pertaining to my cancellation and refund.</p>
<p>It has been about a week since I first tried to cancel but I still haven&#8217;t been called.</p>
<h2>What I learned from this experience</h2>
<p>While this course was valuable it wasn&#8217;t useful. I gained knowledge but didn&#8217;t learn how to put that knowledge into action. Also, if you have $2000 dollars to invest into your education, you are better off getting a personal coach who knows exactly what to do rather than pay for a high end course. The coaching is much more tailored to you, your business and your goals. Plus, you will go into a coaching relationship knowing that you will not get a refund instead of having to wait to be contacted by the support team of some guru.</p>

<p>I was looking around on YouTube today for some updates to my Authority site that I am working on and found a great video.</p>
<p>In the video I saw what is my basic plan on how I plan to get rich. I hate to use those words because it sounds so lame and actually makes me think of some hokey infomercial I probably saw at 3 am one night after coming home from the club.</p>
<p>Anyway, this is a basic explanation of how to get rich in a realistic way that I am actually using to build wealth for myself and my family.</p>
<p><object width="560" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CV7hAAcApnE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CV7hAAcApnE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>If you need more information about how to get rich by purchasing assets and limiting liabilities then I suggest that you pick up some books at Barnes and Noble, especially Rich Dad Poor Dad, if you haven&#8217;t read it yet.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past week I was on webinar with <a href="http://andyjenkinsblog.com">Andy Jenkins</a>. One of the questions he answered for me was &#8220;<a title="Start Here" href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/start-here">how do I get started?</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>His answer was short and sweet and to the point. It was <strong>product</strong>, <strong>sales funnel</strong> and <strong>friends</strong>. He said those would be his main focal points if you were starting over today.</p>
<p>With that in mind I&#8217;m writing this to you. Most of us including myself started out online finding some person to follow. For some of us that met creating blogs, for others that meant creating niche websites but rarely do you ever hear anybody tell you to start with building a product.</p>
<p>I can only guess why they don&#8217;t teach you to start by building a product first but I know this, every super affiliate that I can think of or have ever heard of was also a product creator. I don&#8217;t really know if that is the reason why they had so much success as an affiliate but I&#8217;m sure it helps.</p>
<p>If you think about it then you start to realize that almost every product available on the market if sold by affiliates and not the actual product creator. So it seems obvious that being a product creator allows you to leverage your time money and resources and build your business on autopilot.</p>
<p>This is the autopilot that you hear some one click software creators talking about. You still have to work to build your business but your work is different.</p>
<p>Instead of you trying to pay for traffic, write copy, create blogs and news sites to promote your product, and the thousands of other ways to make sales online, you just get people who were experts at those things to promote your product and pay them a commission on every sale.</p>
<p>Your job is to make sure that the offer that your affiliates are send traffic to convert a high rate. To do that you have to be split tests almost constantly. You also need to create promotional resources for your affiliates to use as a way to promote your product. Some product creators unify in special ways to give affiliate extra incentive to sell their product, like giving them 90% instead of 75% after they reached a certain number of sales.</p>
<p>To summarize what I was saying as a product creator your job is to keep your affiliates happy and keep your customers.</p>
<p>The easiest way to keep your customers happy is to have ongoing support for your products and create an F.A.Q page that answers all of the most recurring question. you can also survey their current customers and ask them what they thought about your product and how it could be improved. This is so important because having an excellent product not only ensures that you get low refunds but it also helps you to get more traffic through your customer referrals.</p>
<p>When believe it or not that&#8217;s the whole gist of having a great product and great sales funnel. Now the best way to get good relationships and make friends online as a product creator is built-in to your business model.</p>
<p>As you create and launch products you start to notice that there are certain affiliates that make tons of sales and the rest of your affiliates may make a sale here and there. Were you one of you is build friendships and relationships with those high selling affiliates. This will ensure your success because they are your friends they&#8217;re more likely to promote your product the next time you launch one and chances are they have a great product that you can promote your customers as well.</p>
<p>This is what Andy Jenkins calls a mastermind group. You want to build a mastermind group that helps you to grow together. The point of the group is to be able to accomplish more than what any of you could do by yourself, whether that means making products together or generating traffic together or what have you.</p>
<p>So in conclusion, for your business to be successful you need to focus on creating an excellent product, getting the highest converting sales funnel possible, and building lasting friendships with your affiliates and other business leaders.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last 2 years with this website I have hit a few road blocks and had a few successes. I started this website as a way to promote what I am doing with my internet marketing business but I quickly found myself burning out, I actually burned out a few times in the last 2 years.</p>
<p>That being said, I have been learning much more over the last few months and realized that I want to make some drastic changes to my business, not just this site.</p>
<p>First and foremost, this site will no longer be focused solely on internet marketing. This is now going to be a personal blog where I basically use it as a journal to keep track of what is going on in my life and what I am experiencing. This may or may not turn some of you off but hopefully everything will work out in the end.</p>
<p>Getting back on track&#8230;</p>
<p>In the last 2 years a big reason for not getting the type of results that I wanted was because I didn&#8217;t really have a plan or a strategy. Heck, I barely even had goals. I was just winging it, buying and reading products without every fully implementing them, and only really focused on trying to make money. That is not a business that is a hobby. If you can&#8217;t be bothered to sit down for 10 or 15 minutes and write a basic plan for what you will be doing then you can&#8217;t expect your goals to be reached.</p>
<p>So for this year I have 3 main areas were I am going to shift my focus.</p>
<p>1. Passive Income Streams:</p>
<p>The whole reason I started an online business was to make good money and the best way to do that is to build passive income streams overtime. I want you all to know that I don&#8217;t have plans to try to do the whole get rich quick thing, which is usually the case when you here some clown shouting about passive income streams. The focus this year is steady growth.</p>
<p>I plan to use 3 different business models to build my passive income. They are:</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Product Creation</h2>
<p>Product creation is not that easy to start out with and I know that most people who are new to business and want to get started quickly will usually not want to learn about product creation. However, product creation is the simplest way to get started with a passive income stream. All you have to do is create sales page, an email form and get a payment processor. That is basically the whole process in a nutshell.</p>
<p>Sure, it can be much more complex than that but to start with you don&#8217;t need to be all fancy with high tech software and gizmos. Just get something up for sale. Later on, you can go back and update it to fix what your customers said was missing and then re-launch your product.</p>
<p>I plan on using 2 models to build these income streams. The first is to create small products that solve one specific problem, like &#8220;how to find a hairdresser&#8221;. These products will be in expensive and I will market them myself since most affiliates will to make more money for their efforts.</p>
<p>That is were the second model of product creation comes in. I will use the feedback from my previous small products to create large products that are expensive and instead of being in charge of my own marketing, I will focus my energy on recruiting affiliates. They will market my products for a very nice commission.</p>
<h2>Authority Sites</h2>
<p>With the authority sites, I will be building sites primarily for product ideas and for flipping to build up cash in lump sums. Authority sites are typically not a fast paced business model and can be extremely time and resource consuming. My plan is to heavily monetize these sites and flip them for any amount of money possible. That way I can cash out before having to hire large numbers of staff to help keep the site running.<br />
The traffic with authority sites has to make you look like an authority so I will be using content suggestion engines for traffic.</p>
<h2>
Video Marketing</h2>
<p>Even though video marketing is pretty much just an extension of SEO, I am planning on doing things a little differently than most people are doing them right now. I don&#8217;t want to go to deep into it because it is all theory right now but trust me when I say that I am very excited about the possibilities of this passive income business model.</p>
<p>Another highly important area of focus for me this year is to keep things simple</p>
<p>2. Simplify</p>
<p>I am focusing on simplifying my life as much as possible. I got this from re-reading the 4 hour work week and finally understanding what Tim Ferriss means when he says &#8220;minimum effective dose&#8221; (which from here on out will be referred to as MED).</p>
<p>MED is an important thing to practice, not only in business but in every area of life. It means that you learn to do more with less. You learn to streamline your processes and you get to have only what is useful.</p>
<p>This is probably not for everyone but I just felt it was time to become a more effective, organized version of myself. I started out with my cloths. I went through my closet and dresser with the intent to get rid of all of the cloths that didn&#8217;t fit my body or my style anymore. I also set a goal to only keep 6 of the same types of articles of clothing max. For example, I went through all of my dress cloths and tried to find 6 dress shirts that fit me and once I got the six that I wanted to keep I got rid of the rest.</p>
<p>I was so excited with my results. I ended up finding out that I only had around 4-6 of each type of clothing that fit me anyway. Everything else will get donated to goodwill or sold on ebay in bulk. I havent really decided yet for the ebay thing <img src='http://michaelmalbrough.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt="icon wink My Focus For 2013" class='wp-smiley' title="My Focus For 2013" /> </p>
<p>I plan on simplifying my cooking process, my laundry process, my business, even my fitness. Overall, I will be changing my entire life as I have been within a matter of a few months.</p>
<p>Times are exciting.</p>
<p>3. Build teams, partners and relationships</p>
<p>I plan to focus heavily on using other peoples efforts in my business this year. Let&#8217;s face it, if you are the only person working in your business then you are probably not making much if anything at all. If you are making a full time income chances are you work 17 hours a day and your whole family has labeled you &#8220;the stranger who lives under the computer desk&#8221;.</p>
<p>I learned this the hard way because I spent most of the last 2 years struggling and not making money. The very first consistant money I made came from the first time I used someone else in my business to get some work done. It was crazy. I went from making absolutely no money at all for 2 years to making $200 to $400 per month online. The best part is that I didn&#8217;t do anything difficult. I just spent about 30 minutes writing a product review and spent about $15 bucks on fiverr.com to get some people to do so link building. That little bit of money and time spent creating that one product review made me money from April, which was the first month I got a check, all the way through to December, I got 2 checks totalling about $50 or so.</p>
<p>I am going to focus my energy early this year on building a team of freelance workers, outsourcers and service providers that I will use to grow my business this year. It will take the stress off of me to do everything myself in my business and it will put these money generating tasks in the hands of people who are experts at what they do.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also going to focus on learning how to create partnerships to create products and services online. I love creating content but if I find an opportunity in the rabbit hunting niche, I would much rather use a rabbit hunting expert than to try to research and create content myself because the content that I create will be poor at best.</p>
<p>Partnering with experts in the field will keep my content quality much higher, which will keep my readers and customers happier.</p>
<p>I will also be cultivating JV relationships. These relationships will truly come in handy when I have products that I need to recruit affiliates for. JV&#8217;s will promote my product or business for me. They specialize in the marketing aspect of business so all I have to do is give them the tools to get the word out.</p>
<p>Some of you are already starting to see the genius of my focus.</p>
<p>The goal here is not to get rich from creating a product or authority site or a video marketing campaign. The goal is to build quick small campaigns that will start making you money this month and will continue to bring in a small amount in the future.</p>
<p>To recap, this is the year of the strategy for me and my life. I am going to simplify my life, create passive income streams and build relationships with experts in many different fields to help me promote my products and also partner up with for future projects.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday <a href="http://youtu.be/393nmCYFRtA">Matt Cutts released this video.</a></p>
<p>The just of things is that google has made a tool that will tell them to ignore certain links you have pointing to your site. This has been much anticipated since the google penguin updates started about 18 months ago. </p>
<p>Many web masters are do happy that the always helpful google is shining its beaming light of generosity down on SEO for the first time ever!</p>
<p>Hurray, right?</p>
<p>Not exactly&#8230;</p>
<p>Some smart marketers, some of which I agree with, are saying that this has is googles way off effectively crowd sourcing a way of finding low quality linking sites.</p>
<p>Eugene Ware of <a href="http://www.noblesamurai.com/blog/seo-news/google-changes-seo-forever-with-it’s-disavow-link-tool-what-you-need-to-do-right-now-3261/">noble samurai</a> had this to say in regards to this theory: </p>
<blockquote><p>
Millions of webmasters will be submitting long lists of low-quality or spammy sites, which Google can then use in its algorithm to penalize not only the sites that are providing these poor quality links, but also those that are linked to by these sites.</p></blockquote>
<p>So, what Eugene is saying is that google can use the information that the web masters give them to find all the &#8220;easy&#8221; back links that people are getting. </p>
<p>He goes on to mention the type of links that will most likely start becoming penalized.</p>
<blockquote><p>Blog comments<br />
Forums<br />
Web 2.0 sites<br />
Article Directories<br />
Web Site Directories<br />
Poor quality, automated Blog Networks with no human-approval “citation” process<br />
Social Bookmarking Accounts<br />
The “low hanging fruit” sites that promiscuously give out too many links, too easily will most likely see poor pages (or even their entire domain) get penalized.</p>
<p>But what’s worse is that a penalized domain may also penalize any other sites that it links out to. (Think of the opposite of PageRank – where poisoned “link-juice” flows through to sites that are linked from them.)</p></blockquote>
<p>All of this seems pretty &#8220;doom and gloom&#8221;, so let me jus stay this. </p>
<p>I still believe that SEO will always be around but now it will be an ever changing, mind bogging thing to keep up with and learn how to master (as if it wasn&#8217;t before).</p>
<p>The reason why I&#8217;m quiting SEO&#8230;</p>
<p>To be 100% honest, I was already going to do this. For the last few months I have been looking for another skill to learn. </p>
<p>SEO has been way to unbalanced for the last year or so. And because of how fickle google has been about it I decided that it is probably time to make the transition from having a sole focus of SEO and link building.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t misunderstand me. SEO will still be a valuable skill to have and use but I believe that this disavow tool will make SEO a day to day changing thing if it is used the way that I think it will be. A moving target if you will.</p>
<p>The type of links that can get you penalized would change so rapidly that you would no longer be able to keep up with the changes. I&#8217;m talking about reading a blog post about what is working now and as so as you finish reading it the method will be obsolete.</p>
<p>That is no way to build a business for the long term.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m going to do</p>
<p>For me, the answer is simple. Google is forcing people to build authority sites with fewer links from sites know for giving more value.</p>
<p>This is especially true with the latest &#8220;<a href="http://www.affilorama.com/blog/google-penalizing-exact-match-domains">exact match domain</a>&#8221; update.</p>
<p>But I wouldn&#8217;t even focus on authority sites if I were you. They are still going to be effected by all SEO changes in the future.</p>
<p>Building a brand is the most vital thing to do now. </p>
<p>Your customers must know you and search for your site by name. If they don&#8217;t then you just run the risk of getting lost in the shuffle on future updates. </p>
<p>The way that you will build your brand is by diversifying your traffic sources and capturing every visitor that you can.</p>
<p>Visitors are so precious that you need to keep as many coming back as you can. Every post on your site must be of extremely high quality. Your job should be (and really always should have been) to deliver the most authoritative and helpful content on the planet! </p>
<p>I used the exclamation for added drama.</p>
<p>Seriously, you&#8217;ve got to see every price of content you post as the most important resource for your market. They should really love everything you do because they will want to share it and that will get youore visitors. Plus, it Willard them want more content like it and will sign up for your list.</p>
<p>You will need to start being heavily active in social media. Building a following will help your business keep traffic coming in.</p>
<p>I know social media can be time consuming but that is just the ne of the game now.</p>
<p>Finally, traffic will have to include as many different avenues as possible. This works in two ways.</p>
<p>First, it makes your brand look bigger because people see you everywhere they go.</p>
<p>Secondly, you no longer will have a single pony of failure. If SEO dries up you still have many more ways your getting traffic.</p>
<p>A quick word on link building</p>
<p>Link building is still going to be a critical promotional tool. But instead of link building for SEO your focus should be link building for traffic. Some of these links may get you &#8220;penalized&#8221; but if you get enough traffic to your site and have stellar content, then your visitors will give you real quality links and real social buzz.</p>
<p>In other words, let your audience do the bulk of your link building for you.</p>
<p>If you are going to do this kind of strategy then you need to give everything you write and post online a high quality feel, whether it is a 3000 word blog post, a 2 sentence blog comment or a 20,000 word ebook.</p>
<p>What you should take away from this post is that SEO will not be the same for us. You will have much more time consuming link building campaigns and To me it is just not worth YOUR time to work on SEO. For me, SEO is an outsource or crowd source thing to do. That way you are not using so much energy to get high rankings.</p>
<p>I am not saying that SEO is dead. I think that is always the most redo culprits thing people can say.</p>
<p>As long as there are search engines there will be a thriving SEO expert somewhere. I just have decided that diversity is much better.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think</strong></p>
<p>Post a comment and let me know what you are going to do and what you think about my plans.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google is killing SEO.  Search engine optimization is never going to be the same.  The shift to becoming a social search engine has already begun and if you want to keep up with the change then you have to be 2 steps ahead of what google is trying to do.</p>
<h2>How Google Used To Work</h2>
<p>Search engines used to be very hard to navigate because they had all kinds of links and images and news stories mixed in with the search results.  On top of that, no one really understood how one site really ranked over another for a search query, which led searchers to be a little confused and made it much harder to find what you were looking for.</p>
<p>One day, Google came up with the idea that people share the most useful information with each other.  This phenominon led google to counting links to see whether a site should rank at the top for specific keywords.</p>
<p>But the downfall of that was that getting your site to the top of google became purely a numbers game.  The only think you had to do to be number 1 for a search term is to get 1 more backlink than your competitor.</p>
<p>Since people where exploiting google and their easy to beat algorithm, Google decided that they needed to be much more complex so that they could provide people with what they wanted, Quality search engine results.</p>
<h2>Google&#8217;s Plans for SEO</h2>
<p>Google started about 18 months ago with a really interesting change.  When a person searched for something and landed on a page that didn&#8217;t match what they were looking for, they were given the option to &#8216;block&#8217; that website from being seen in their search results.  That was a great change for the user, but on the SEO side of the table no one seemed to notice that google had just killed traditional SEO once and for all.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-448" title="How to block a website" src="http://michaelmalbrough.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/block-spam-sites-search.png" alt="block spam sites search Why Google Hates SEO" width="511" height="257" />Search now had the equivalent of a Like button.  Or should I say a dislike button.  Now whenever a website didn&#8217;t have good quality or didn&#8217;t solve the users problem, Google gave then the opportunity to kill that site, atleast on their search results.</p>
<p>The thing that hurts SEO experts and others who build tons of sites to rank is that if your site is blocked by a large enough number of people, your site will draw the eyes of a Google human reviewer or could even be de-indexed for specific keyword or just plan sitewide because of a lack of quality content.</p>
<p>Spam sites started to be crushed left and right.  And google was laughing to the bank.</p>
<p>Think about it.  Google is a billion dollar company and almost everything that they have can be used for free.  How and why did a billion dollar company afford to do this?</p>
<p>Advertisements&#8230;</p>
<p>Google is pretty much the perfect business model for advertisements.  It hosts ads on its search results but also aggregates the ads to sites where people are seeking to make money from visitors clicking ads.  This is essentially an advertisement business affiliate marketing program.</p>
<p>Google wants its search engine to be the best because people will come back to them again and again&#8230; and a certain percentage will click on ads.</p>
<p>That is why SEO is getting harder.  Google wants to give the searcher what they are looking for so that eventually the searcher may click an ad.</p>
<h2>Where SEO Is Headed</h2>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t take a brain surgen to see that SEO is no longer the nerdy algorithm that can be beat by learning what makes the computer buzz.  SEO is now a social, people driven process that must engage the searcher and answer their questions and provide a way to solve the problems that they face.</p>
<p>The good thing about that is that, if you can get the new SEO right, you will see success much faster than ever before but more on that in a minute.  The bad thing for most of the very technical people that are usually drawn to SEO is that you will need to get good at understanding what people want to find when they type a search term into Google.</p>
<p>Getting back to why the new SEO is so good.  Link building is the absolute worst part of optimization.  The way that Google is forcing seo to become is also going to make link building much more of a viral thing. Just one awesome piece of content can cause your site to shoot up the rankings faster than ever before.</p>
<h2>What Should You Do?</h2>
<p>Shift along with google&#8217;s intentions.  If you know that they are trying to become the first ever &#8216;social&#8217; search engine then you need to build your sites with a shareability to it.  Excellent content, contests, free giveaways, etc.  You desprately need your sites to go viral fast.</p>
<p>Stand out from the crowd.  Don&#8217;t just repeat what everyone else is saying.  Do more research, study your field of interest and become the expert that people rely on.  Leading your market is going to become the only way to thrive in the coming years of Search engine algorithm changes.</p>
<p>Lastly, you must keep doing SEO the old school way but with a different foundation.  Just because google has made changes doesn&#8217;t mean that they are dropping everything else.  Keep building links and doing On Page SEO but when you look at your finished product ask yourself &#8220;Would I read this if was looking for this solution and would I share it if I knew someone who had this problem&#8221;.  If you can&#8217;t answer with a yes every time, go back to the drawing board.</p>
<p>What do you think?  How can you start making changes in your blog to make your content more user friendly? <!--END--></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I was watching Grant Cardone on Youtube and one of his Grant Rants came up that is called &#8220;<a href="http://youtu.be/cL9MUSKDsbo">Grant Rant #53: Secrets of Millionaires!</a>&#8220;.  In the video, Grant, who is a millionaire himself, talks about never doing anything just once.</p>
<p>That idea caught a hold of me and it really impressed me because so many times during my day I hear people say that they will &#8220;give it ONE good shot&#8221;.  What Grant shares in this video is if you are going to do anything you need to do it 10, 20, 30 or more times at least if you are hoping to she how things are really going to succeed.  No one can have success if everything they do they do just once.</p>
<p>Imagine what kind of money you would make if you got a new job and only went to work for one day!</p>
<p>What kind of results would you get if you started a one day diet?</p>
<p>What kind of grades would you get if you only studied once a year?</p>
<p>Imagine trying to <a href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/seo-survival-kit-making-google-and-searchers-happy">get search engine rankings</a> by writing and posting ONE article!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, if you only do something one time and get great results you might be happy but the results could be a fluke.  What happens if you get poor results.  That is probably a fluke.</p>
<p>Listen, we are all created equal.  There are no unique humans that have super powers or are more predisposed to successful outcomes than others.  You can get the same results or even better results when you approach all of your opportunities with intensity and go to work.</p>
<p>So many of the people that I meet who are not seeing any results with their business blame it on the economy, or their office location, or the income bracket that they market to, or any other thing that happens to be seen as a possible downfall to the down and out businessman or salesperson.</p>
<p>The reality is, You Suck! Your lazy, you don&#8217;t follow up with your prospects, you don&#8217;t go find new prospects, and you are not making the kind of money you want because of it.  It&#8217;s all YOU!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the bad news!</p>
<p>The good news is that you can control all of those things because you can control your own thoughts, actions and, ultimately, your RESULTS!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t work on giving it ONE good shot.  Work on giving it</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, <a href="http://jlforums.com/search-engine-optimization/major-google-update-(april-24th)/">Google made an algorithm change</a> that has been talked about at great length. Like most of Google&#8217;s changes, you can here plenty of people complaining about how badly they are being effected by the change and <a href="http://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/16/74316.html">how SEO is dead because of it</a>.</p>
<p>I just wanted to give everyone a chance to see if <a href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/seo-survival-kit-making-google-and-searchers-happy">SEO</a> is really dead because of a change like this. In my opinion, SEO will never die. I just don&#8217;t think that there will ever be a Search engine change that will make optimization impossible. As long as they try to rank sites, there will be stat geeks and testing guru&#8217;s finding out what works and what doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>For me, I have actually noticed an increase in traffic for the sites I have. I actually have had most of my larger content sites double in traffic. This result will not stay like this more than likely because the change just happened a day or two ago but the increase in my traffic was drastic.</p>
<p>One thing that I noticed, which seems to go opposite of the trend of complaints, is that my autoblog sites have also been gaining ground in the traffic arena.</p>
<p>I actually have an Authority autoblog that I built in November that has been climbing in traffic everytime there is a Google update.</p>
<p>So, what does that mean to you?</p>
<p>Well, it should mean that you don&#8217;t have to believe that the sky is falling just because a few people are saying that they saw there traffic jump off a cliff. Autoblogs are supposed to be getting destroyed by Google but mine has jumped in traffic.</p>
<p>I want to encourage you to hang in there. Figure out what still works and still doesn&#8217;t. If your sites get deindexed, figure out why, don&#8217;t just give in because your frustrated. Try new things, even if your sites are deindexed you can still salvage them sometimes.</p>
<p>I have said this before but don&#8217;t be a one trick pony. SEO is a great skill to have and you can really do well for yourself because of it but internet marketing is not about getting the best ranking in search engines. Internet Marketing is about making money and building a passive income business. SEO may be *FREE* traffic, in terms of dollars you spend, but you pay heavily in the amount of time you spend on SEO and the amount of money that you lose by not using some of the other types of traffic.</p>
<p>Keep building your SEO sites, test and re-test your data, and also build a list. While your testing your SEO, test a few paid traffic sources. They don&#8217;t have to cost much so long as you know where to get traffic when you need it.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t do what I used to do, which is try to do what you think is the most convenient thing because you may think SEO is convenient because you don&#8217;t have to spend money to get results but you really never know when a google change will come and wipe out half or <a href="http://www.nichepursuits.com/i-just-got-banned-from-google-adsense-now-what/">all of your busines</a>s. It happens all of the time.</p>
<p>The biggest point that I&#8217;m trying to make is that we are not SEO marketers, we are internet marketers. We are here to make money, not excuses, not to complain and not to blame others for our failed sites.</p>
<p>Keep your eye on the prize! <!--END--></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, Michael here,</p>
<p>Thank you for being patient. It is finally done&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>“Here’s The Most Comprehensive Review Of Google Sniper 2 on the ‘Net”</strong></p>
<p>No fluff or filler&#8230; Just what you <em>NEED</em> to know before purchasing.</p>
<h3><strong>NOTE: this is a review of Google Sniper</strong>,<strong> <a href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/qzp3">Click Here to Visit the Google Sniper 2 Website</a></strong></h3>
<h2>What is Google Sniper</h2>
<p>Google Sniper is a course that is based on doing small sites with just a few pages of content and getting them to rank highly on search engines to get traffic. The whole point of using this system is to be able to avoid having to spend months doing link building and driving traffic to the website. Google Sniper is basically going to teach you how to do PERFECT on page seo and how to optimize your content to be able to get ranked high in search engines.</p>
<p><a href="http://screencast.com/t/5QRF8l7UDsnr">Google Sniper 2.0 Review Video</a></p>
<p>Google Sniper also teaches you how to make your sites user friendly and not just get lots of traffic. You learn what to do to start building trust with your potential customer from the first moment they get to your website. You also learn how to write a review the correct way and how to find the highest paying keywords and get the most bang for your buck from each site you build.</p>
<h3><a href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/qzp3">Click Here to Go To The Official Google Sniper 2 Website.</a></h3>
<p><strong>The Bad</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You still need to do a little work on backlinks. No where near as much but you do at least need to spend about 30 to 45 minutes getting backlinks for each site.</li>
<li>You don’t have a specific amount of content that you will need to rank high with each site. Some keywords need to have 2 or 3 pieces of content only, while some others may need up to 10.</li>
<li>Over hyped. You can still spend a few hours of time building your site and creating content and still not make sales.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Good</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Google Sniper 2 teaches you everything about <a title="On Page SEO" href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/on-page-seo-checklist">on page SEO</a>. I always tell people about how google sniper is the best course for people who want to learn on page Seo.</li>
<li>Google sniper is easy to understand. The video tutorials and the ebook help you to really understand the whole process..</li>
<li>The Empire Module. George Brown teaches you how you can rapidly expand your sniper site business. This module is very helpful.</li>
<li>Sniper X. This is the upsell module but it probably should have been a course all by itself. You can get free update webinars that never pitch other products and they have even done a couple of case studies with Sniper X members.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Last Word</strong></span></p>
<p>Google Sniper 2 is a very good program to buy if you are still learning how to make money online. You don’t have to spend weeks and even months on SEO and you don’t have to write lots and lots of content for your site.<br />
When you look past all the hype of the Google Sniper System you start to see that you have a very good product on your hands with Google Sniper 2. I have done quite a few Google Sniper type sites in the past and have had some pretty good results.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dotcomsecrets x</strong> is a course made by Russell Brunson to teach people how a real Internet business can be run successfully. Everyone will show you different ways to get started online, like challenge.co and chrisfarrellmembership.com, but what most people don’t know is that Russell Brunson has taught a lot of the best and well known Internet marketers, like Chris Farrell. So if your thought process is anything like mine then you probably are thinking that you would rather learn from the teacher with the best students and not from the students themselves. No offense to Chris Farrell but Russell Brunson has gotten great results with his students.</p>

<h2>Dotcomsecrets X: My Opinion</h2>
<p>I think that <em>dotcomsecrets x</em> is probably one of the best courses that I have ever seen. The reason that I say that is because it’s probably the best laid out and easiest system to follow that I have ever used.</p>
<p>From day one, Russell Brunson teaches you all about the mindset of the business. He knows it’s important for you to know why you’re doing what you’re doing and not just how to do it. He explains his system thoroughly, then he shows you how to do it.</p>
<p><a href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/dotcomsecrets-x-review/dotcomsecrets_x" rel="attachment wp-att-434"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-434" title="dotcomsecrets x" src="http://michaelmalbrough.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/dotcomsecrets_x.png" alt="dotcomsecrets x DotComSecrets X Review" width="594" height="112" /></a></p>
<p>From there, you get day-to-day tasks to help you to build your business and make your first hundred dollars within the first 30 days.I think it’s pretty awesome that he has already seen so many success stories.</p>
<p>He teaches you exactly what you should focus on a few brand-new and <a title="Google Sniper Review: Google Sniper 2.0" href="http://michaelmalbrough.com/google-sniper-review-google-sniper-2-0">Internet marketing</a>, then you shows you how to build your business and your brand with the goal of being able to quit your day job, if you want to, within 90 days. From what I&#8217;ve seen, most of the people who have success with dotcomsecrets x make their first sale within the first 16 days.</p>
<p>He also teaches you how to drive high quality and fast traffic. The only thing I have to warn you about is that some of this traffic is paid traffic. That really shouldn&#8217;t be that big of a deal but some people are afraid of buying traffic, and they really shouldn&#8217;t be because it’s usually the highest quality.</p>
<p>One thing that Russell Brunson got a lot of flack for the past was a product called “Illuminati”. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who think that he should not have named it that. Anyway, something you get for free when you get dotcomsecrets x is access to the Illuminati product, which I think is pretty good from what I&#8217;ve looked at so far.</p>
<p>Some of the free bonuses that he gives you are some of the live trainings that he has attended, including some of his high dollar coaching courses that he and his staff have taken.</p>
<h3>DotComSecrets X: Is it worth it</h3>
<p>No matter how much experience you have online, I think it’s important for everyone who’s not making as much money as they want to be making online to take this course. Having said that, Russell Brunson did miss the mark on a few points on this course. Some of the steps in the first week or two are kind of confusing. However, Russell does a pretty good job of re-shooting the videos to make sure that they are easy to understand. If you do have problems understanding any of the videos then you can just put a support ticket in.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the value of this course is way more than you ever end up paying for the course. Russell puts a ton of money into his business education and he basically gives you access to what he has more than likely spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn.</p>
<p>So what do you pay to get started with dotcomsecrets X? $1,and technically it’s free because that dollar doesn&#8217;t even go to Russell Brunson. The dollar actually goes to world teacher aid and every time <span style="text-decoration: underline;">dotcomsecret X</span> gets 1000 new members, the Make-A-Wish foundation can grant a wish for a new child.</p>
<p>This is the best I can explain it so I suggest you go watch Russell’s free webinar.in the he explains everything from how to get started and why this model is the best way to start making money online for someone.</p>
