Google Piranha

Thumbnail

It was all unreal.

A website that I had been building with good content for a year lost its rankings for its keywords. Just a week before that, I installed this expensive software suite that included a Wordpress plugin that "generated content” based on different sources like YouTube, Flickr, ArticlesBase, Amazon and eBay.

The software generated around 100 posts in two days and my biggest fears turned to reality - it got Google slapped.

It was as stupid move, but hanging around the support forum of the software suite showed that I was not alone. Countless others suffered the same fate.

The game of gaming Google is over.

Knowing that I had to go back to the drawing board, I threw away all the tricks and the questionable software that were being peddled here and about and decided to do SEO and organic traffic generation the right way - thus this guide.

The Google Piranha is a product of my years of experience and research in search engine traffic generation.

The aim of this guide is to Google-proof your site by optimizing your site based on best practices, getting traffic from Google and other sources, converting traffic, and building traffic loyalty and retention.

I started building websites in 2005 as a hobby until I discovered the Google Adsense program which allowed me to generate extra income and at the same time fund my other ventures like buying domain names and building more sites.

I was receiving monthly checks of $800 to $1,000 from Google which surprised my friends because they never thought you can make money on the web. When they asked what I was selling online, I said "nothing.” I tried to explain the Google Adsense program but they couldn’t appreciate the fact that I make "cents” per click. What they don’t know is that if you get thousands of clicks per month, you could get as much as thousands bucks.

Now to generate that amount of Adsense earnings you have to generate huge and insane amounts of traffic. More on that later.

I focused on getting free traffic. In that year, I started BuyWeird.com to make money from the eBay’s affiliate program. During that year, weird auctions were hot on eBay because Golden Palace Casino was paying crazy amounts to people who auctioned their bodies to be tattooed with the casino’s name and logo.

I started receiving $400 checks from Commission Junction because eBay was then paying around $30 for each new eBay member you refer. I was getting traffic from keywords related to weird ebay items, Golden palace casino, and I was also getting traffic from eBay auction because sellers would mention my website in their auction listings..

"As featured on BuyWeird.com”... "Woohoo! We’re now on Buyweird.com”

Of course I was not the only one back then. There was BizarreBids.com and we were all trying to get our names on eBay listings by simply featuring the listings on our websites.

Our websites became viral and BuyWeird got some good links from curation sites and even a news website.

These ventures really paved the way and funded for most of my future work online like building more websites where I tested different free traffic methods. I was in different niches, from celebrities to weightloss to gadgets.

I didn’t know a lot when I started, so I devoured all of the info I could find online about SEO and traffic. It took countless hours sifting through the trash, figuring out what was a good resource. The road is often laden with traps - scammers selling quick solutions that often get buyers getting banned by Google or using outdated SEO techniques. I often wished I had a guide to help me find the info I needed. That is why I began to create the Google Power Punch, although at the time it was just a handy tool for myself. Remember, I was getting most traffic from Google.

This guide will show you the techniques I use to get Google traffic and be on the good side of Google. Yes, I learned how to be on the good side because I’ve seen for myself how you could suffer if you engage in practices that Google hates, like cloaking, keyword stuffing, spamming and blackhat tactics.

This guide will also help save you a TON of time by pointing you towards the best SEO resources available out there by answering some common SEO questions.

Geo Cash

Introduction

First and foremost I'd like to both thank you and congratulate you on purchasing this quick course on cashing in on one of the biggest industries on the internet. Domains.

Typically when you start a new project in internet marketing one of the first things you need is a domain name. So you go ahead and buy your domain name and that's it, you're all done as far as the domain world goes. But a thing people often miss is that very first step, could possibly be your biggest goldmine. The domain name.

The first domain name was registered 27 years ago, that can be a scary thought for many domain marketers because it can give us the feeling that every good domain is already taken. Well this is both true and false, it's true that almost every single word domain is taken, along with domains 3-6 characters long. These can be worth a lot of money, but we don't need to be worrying about that because there's a whole different type of domains that are a goldmine waiting to be mined.

What I'm referring to are called geo domains or local domains. 3 Let's take the keyword "dentist" for example. If you search that up in Google you're going to get millions of results and you already know it's not worth going after, however think about it for a minute. How often do people go online searching for a dentist and actually type in "dentist". Probably not that often, because when someone actually wants to search for a dentist they will search for their own geographical location + dentist.

This is where we come in, so for example I'm from Los Angeles.

If I'm looking for a dentist office I'm going to type in google "Los Angeles Dentists" to see what's around me. So when you think about it for a second, what's one of the best ways to make your way to the top of Google's rankings for your keywords? Well for starters, if your domain name was your keywords, you're instantly going to shoot up in the rankings due to your website being an exact match.

So the domain name: www.losangelesdentists.com could technically do extremely well on Google for the term "los angeles dentists". These are local domains, this is where we're going to start growing our empire. See where I'm going with this? If so, let's get started!
