Two things I need to tell you about in this post, both of which will have immediate and lasting effects on your search engine rankings… both take minutes to implement.

The first of these things I’ve written up totally in this post, and the second one is at another link. So relax and read all the way through this post now…

#1: If You’re Doing This, Stop NOW

As Andrew Hanson taught in his Unstoppable Affiliate course, one of the more distinct changes in the Google algorithm implemented in the Panda update is the integration of user feedback data as an influence on search results (no, it doesn’t mean people commenting on your blog).

That sounds complicated, but all it means is that now – more than ever – Google is looking at how searchers for YOUR keywords, and visitors to YOUR sites are actually interacting with your site and using that information as a judge of the quality of your site.

It’s no longer just how many keywords are on your page or how many links you’ve got… it’s how users interract with your sites too.

This has a few parts, but let’s talk about just 2. How people react to your search listing, and how they react to your content.

How Users React To Your Search Listing

Say you’re ranking on page 1, position 5, of Google for your chosen keyword. Google has a broad idea of what percentage of the search impressions you should receive if your site is of real interest to users searching for that term.

If your site is getting less than the expected number of clicks, (because your page title and description aren’t enticing enough), Google may decide that you shouldn’t be ranking in that position. If your site is getting higher than the expected number of clicks, Google might determine that your site is highly relevant, and boost it up in the listings. This is a simplified example demonstrating a real principle.

NOW…

Let’s say you… excited about how your sites are progressing… go and search your target keyword every day. You just enter the keyword, check where your site is, then close the window. You do that 3 or 4 times a week.

What YOU’RE doing, is sending the message to Google, 3 or 4 times a week, that NO sites ranking on page 1 for that keyword were enticing. You didn’t click any of them, did you? Right, so that’s what you told Google. You’re telling Google that none of the sites – yours included – should be ranked there.

Post Panda… this WILL harm your rankings.

How Users React With Your Website

Next, Google is looking at what the users do after they click your listing in the engines.

How long do they stay? At what rate do they click the “back” button? How do they leave your website? Via a link you shared with them, or another way?

Generally, the longer they stay the better… the deeper into your site they get (the number of pages) the better, and if they leave following something you’ve recommended, that’s better.

NOW…

Let’s say on those times where you search your target keyword, you click on your own site. You just want to see it’s loading properly… see it’s all still there.

You let it load up – see it’s all good, then click BACK.

BOOM… Bounce Rate adjusted. User left the site in 4 seconds. Site may not be highly relevant to searchers.

That’s what Google sees.

OR…

Let’s say you search for your keyword and and want to check out your competitor’s sites. You click on their links, you spend 10 minutes analyzing all the elements of their page, you check where their affiliate links go to… and more.

Message sent to Google: Competitor site is high quality – kept user on site for a long time – user left via a recommended link. Boost this site up the listings.

YIKES!

Bottom line… and yep, this one’s going in caps…

STOP SEARCHING YOUR OWN KEYWORDS. STOP CLICKING YOUR OWN SEARCH LSTINGS!

If you want to track your rankings, add your site to Google Webmaster Tools (or use another tracking service like Piwik or Clicky). They’ll update you on all rankings for all your keywords every day… simple as that. You’ll see them all plus how they’ve changed, how much traffic they’ve brought, your click through rates and more. And you can check your Webmasters account as often as you like with no penalty.

Ok. Let’s move on.

#2: PR 7 Backlinks For FREE In Under 60 Seconds

This is the coolest SEO trick I’ve seen for a while.

If you want to quickly get PR7 DO FOLLOW backlinks to any site you wish, for FREE (they normally cost a few hundred dollars per month each) then you have to check out the free video at the link below.

And I don’t mean like “on a PR7 site” either, where you get a link from an inner page on a PR7 domain – no, no, no. I mean a real link on a real PR7 page. Just one of these links can skyrocket your rankings.

It’s from Matt Carter, and you have to enter your email to see the free video, but if you’re not on Matt Carter’s list, you should be anyway (he’s one of the best affiliate SEOs on the planet, period.)

Alright, those are two things that will change your rankings, traffic and income today.

[Update 12 August, 2011: SENukeX have extended their offer to get a Lifetime Licence for the software until 4pm EST today (12 August, 2011). So, if you thought you'd missed your opportunity, there's still time.]

A few months back I promoted the SENukeX launch to you. If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll know that I had a number of problems running SENukeX myself in the early days and maybe my experiences made you think twice about subscribing to it.

They had a lot of problems with the launch as well (too many subscribers for their servers to handle) and the software crashed quite a bit. I maintained that the service was released too early and that it hadn’t been stress tested enough and that, basically, it wasn’t in a fit state for release to the public.

SENukeX relied almost exclusively on Internet Explorer for link submissions and IE was a weak point. Its instability, particularly IE8, was the cause of most SENukeX crashes. IE9 was recommended, but that version of IE is not available to Win XP users like me. So I ended up renting a Windows VPS just to run SENukeX. And, on that platform, it was much more stable than on my PC. There were still the occasional crashes, but SENukeX has an auto-recover feature so that it restarts and picks up here it left off following a crash.

Since the launch, the software has gone through quite a number of revisions as bugs were fixed, new features added and submission sites updated and changed. And then, recently, the SENukeX servers were were hit with a DDoS attack for about 5 days. Naturally, that impacted the service.

The good thing is, this made the SENukeX team adapt and they’ve made critical changes to their current server setup. Behind the scenes they were already making drastic changes and serious upgrades to the capabilities of the SENukeX software.

The 3 most important updates for me are the change of 90% of their submissions to Sockets, which means that only 10% of their Submissions have to go through IE now. This has had a twofold effect – it’s increased the speed of submissions substantially and it’s increased the success rate as well.

My last submission (which normally would have taken 30-45 minutes depending on the server) only took about 5-6 minutes to complete.

The second great improvement is that they are now adding tons of new sites and with the new addition of 6 new Programmers (whose only job is to add new sites to submit to) . So the amount and cross section of backlinks you can build with SENukeX will be 150% better than before.

One of my early gripes was that to use SENukeX effectively, you had to subscribe to a decaptcha service in addition to paying for SENukeX. Now, the third thing which has really impressed me about this latest SENukeX update is the addition of captcha solving. Over 40% of the captchas you used to have to fill in yourself or pay for are now solved 10 times faster and for Free. While it doesn’t remove the need for an external decaptcha service, the costs for that service will now be 40% cheaper thanks to the upgrade.

These are just a small part of the upgrades, and now with all the changes that have been made to get away from the terrible Internet Explorer 9 integration, the server has been running trouble-free without any crashes, and there aren’t any annoying Popups anymore either.

All gone. This thing is definitely the best Backlink Building tool in Marketing, Bar None!

For the Next 24 Hours (and a bit), they are also reopening their Lifetime License option as well, or if you decline the lifetime Option, you can get a Yearly License and I think they all have multi-pay options as well.

I first purchased SENukeX in April 2011 and all they have done is continually build and add to this software. Upgrade after Upgrade. No, I wasn’t happy with the software to begin with (as I’ve outlined om this blog), but the SENukeX team have worked diligently to fix problems and make the software robust. I think they’ve now achieved what SENukeX should have been when it launched.

There is no other software tool in Internet Marketing which has been around as long (the original SENuke was released back in 2008) unless you count in Market Samurai, which is running a close second (but won’t build backlinks and get them indexed for you as well)!

So, at this stage, I would recommend SENukeX to you. Yes, it’s expensive. But how do you value your time? You can build a lot of backlinks manually or using some of the other backlinking tools I’ve mentioned from time to time. But it all takes time. That’s the reason I switched to SENUkeX. I spend 60-90 minutes building a backlinking campaign and then set it in motion with SENukeX and it will build 100s of backlinks for me, all on autopilot, at sites which normally require you to fill in those captcha codes. And do it over a time period I specify – days to weeks to months (if I want). And the time I save on backlink building, I can put into other things, whether that’s building more sites or meeting friends for coffee!

A few days ago I asked my email list what topics they’d like me to write about. One of the top requests was on how to drive traffic to their websites. So with that in mind…

Getting Website Traffic

There are both free and paid ways of driving traffic to your sites. Of the paid ways, expenditure runs from a very modest couple of bucks to $100+ per month for subscription based services.

While free methods are fine, their big drawback is the amount of time it takes. The more sites you have, the more time you have to spend building backlinks. For the normal Joe with just a couple of hours free in the evenings to dedicate to websites, that time can be quickly eaten up by all the manual backlinking that has to be done.

That’s where the paid tools start to come in. If you want to save time , or spend less of it building backlinks, you’re going to have to put your hand in your pocket. Time is money as they say.

However, various people have various budgets and while one might be able to afford $100+ per month on a subscription service, another may only have a couple of spare dollars to play with.

I’ve previously written about ways to get backlinks to your sites and pages in these posts:

Using Article Marketing To Get Traffic
Unique Article Wizard Review
Getting Traffic To Your Websites – Free Options
Getting Traffic To Your Sites – Paid Options

…as well as in my free Blog Linking Tactics report.

A couple of days ago I was contacted about a new bit of software available through the Warrior Forum that would find high-PR pages on blogs on which comments could be left to garner high-PR backlinks to my sites. At $9, Backlink Loophole was a steal.

While the software will identify and list high pagerank pages, you still need to manually write and post comments on the pages it finds. So it’s a semi-automated solution. However, finding high-pagerank pages has never been an easy task and Backlink Loophole takes care of that onerous task. You don’t need to go backlink mad. Writing about 5 comments a day should be possible for anyone and won’t take long. The value of the backlinks you get in return will be worth that small investment in time.
