• Awesome free SEO tool from Michelle MacPhearson

    I just downloaded and played with a neat little free SEO tool from Michelle MacPhearson called Rank Decoding Engine.

    No upsells or anything (at least not at the moment) – just hand over your email address to Michelle and she’ll send you a download link.

    The tool is actually made up of two parts.

    Part 1 is the historical data which will show you which social media websites that have more prominent rankings compared to other social media websites.

    Just click “Last 90 days” and you’ll be shown a prioritized list of websites that generally rank well in Google.

    With this information you’ll know where to start your link building – especially true for new sites.

    Part 2 is the actual search tool which you’ll be using for sites that have been around for some time to boost their authority.

    Enter up to 10 keyphrases separated by commas and hit “Search” – it’s important to include your main keyphrase as well as all supporting keyphrases.

    What you’ll get back is a list of sites that are generally ranking high for all your keyphrases.

    Start from the top and work your way down the list and see if it’s possible to somehow acquire a link from their site.

    Some sites have no way for you to leave your link, so just skip them until you get to one that does.

    FTC disclaimer: The link is NOT an affiliate link, it’s just a link to a neat little SEO tool I thought you might find useful

    Yet another free viral Twitter tool

    Posted in Internet marketing Traffic generation
    April 14th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

    Confused about viral traffic tools?

    Well, there really is no need to be confused because behind all the hype and technical jargon viral traffic tools are really simple.

    You refer somebody who in turn refer other people who in turn refer other people – that’s all there really is to it.

    Everybody of those people are referred to as your Downline.

    And each time someone in your downline makes a certain action such as displaying a banner you earn “credits” which are then used to get your own banner shown.

    The more people in your downline the more exposure you get.

    But it doesn’t have to be a banner – in a tool I just learned about a few minutes ago your Tweets are shown on other people’s websites.

    The free version is of course limited compared to the paid option, but if you’re just going to try out some viral traffic building then the free version is all you really need.

    When you sign up you’ll be given the option to upgrade from free to paid version on the spot for $97 (this is a one time offer – the regular price is $197) – the biggest difference between the free and the paid version is that you can connect the paid account to 10 different Twitter accounts with the free version only allowing you one Twitter account.

    If you just have one Twitter account then the free version is in my opinion all you need.

    Once inside the system you enter your Twitter account details and then you’re almost ready to go.

    From here on you have two different ways of making this work for you.

    The first is by placing a piece of code on your site that will help you earn credits for getting your Tweets shown on other people’s websites and blogs.

    This is by far the slowest way of getting your Tweets seen since it requires plenty of initial traffic on your website to produce any noticeable traffic increase to your Twitter page.

    The second way is to start referring other people to this viral tool – because it’s the viral side of things that really has the potential to get your Tweets shown a lot.

    Inside the system you’ll find the code to put on your pages – including to short videos on how to add the code to your Blogger or WordPress blog.

    And you’ll also find the referral link which you’ll need to start referring people.

    Ready to try this free viral Twitter tool? – sign up using my referral link and you’ll end up in my downline.

    FTC disclaimer: There is of course also an affiliate program associated with this tool, which means that should you, despite my recommendations, decide to sign up for the paid version, then I’ll earn a bit of money.

    New product from Wendy Wood – IM Cleanup

    Posted in Internet marketing
    April 9th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

    I just got an email from Wendy Wood about a new product she’s launching called IM Cleanup.

    Most IM products these days are typically “secrets”, “loopholes” or “blueprints” and if that wasn’t enough to sell them, then they also “annihilate”, “explode” or “dominate” something or somebody – the secrets are usually “discovered” by truckdrivers, gardeners or sales clerks who all come from bankrupcy or homelessness – and it’s getting a bit tiresome imo.

    So it was refreshing to read through the salescopy for Wendy’s product.

    You see, Wendy’s product which is a 6 week course is not about secrets or loopholes, it’s not aiming at annihilating anything and you don’t have to have been homeless to use it.

    If you’re anything like me then you have a harddrive filled with IM information products, you have your fair share of marketing and/or self-help books and a few cd or dvd courses on your shelfs.

    And you have started multiple projects over the years, abandoned most of them, half-heartedly maintained some of them and only been consistent or successful with a few of these projects – at the most.

    You’ve let the latest fads push your busines in one direction so many times that it’s unclear to you which way you’re heading at the moment.

    If this sounds familiar, then you might want to take a look at what Wendy has to offer.

    IM Cleanup is all about taking inventory of all the things you have going on with your online businesses, sorting them out, optimizing how you do things and then – once you’re back on track – creating the long term plans for your business.

    I’m an affiliate of Wendy’s products, so I’ll earn a commission should you decide to buy IM Cleanup because you think it will be useful to you.

    Get Core Influence for free

    Posted in Information
    March 6th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

    Right now I’m downloading a 118 minute long video by Frank Kern called Core Influence – it’s a whopping 700MB.

    I got access to it for free, and so can you – just click here

    There’s no money in it for me, but there’s a really neat reward.

    Frank is putting together Core Influence 2 and what better way to drum up business than by letting people see what Core Influence (1) was all about.

    But Frank likes to go viral, so he’s giving away Core Influence 2 to anybody who refers 10 people to watch Core Influence (1) for free. So in return for giving away a modest number of the new version he’s getting a stampede of new people signed up for when he’s launching Core Influence 2.

    So, if want to help me get access to Core Influence 2, then click the link – please :-)

    Core Influence is supposed to be really good, but I’m only 1/3 through the download, and after that I’ll have a good 2 hours watching and taking notes ahead of me before I can personally say anything about it.

    Hack & Abuse notifications from Google Webmasters Tools

    Posted in Information
    March 2nd, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

    Google Webmaster Central Blog just made a very interesting post about a new addition to the Webmasters Tools – a hack and abuse notification system

    Wouldn’t it be nice to be notified about the following three things?

    • Spammy or abused user-generated content
    • Abused forum pages or egregious amounts of comment spam
    • Suspected hacking

    Well, if your sites are registered in Google Webmasters Tools then that’s exactly what you’ll be notified about (in Google’s own words) whenever they detects any of the following on your site.

    Hacking, comment spam, spammy link profiles and probably other forms of spammy user-generated content on MU-sites and other blogging systems is a pain to have to deal with, so having Google looking out for you is a nice addition to whatever anti-hack and anti-spam system you have in place.

    Most blogging software have some sort of anti-comment-spam, for instance Akismet or WP-Spamfree on WP platforms, and the same goes for forum platforms, but what about anti-hack features?

    Except for keeping my passwords hard to brute-force crack and keeping WP relatively up-to-date I’m not really doing anything to prevent my site from being hacked, and this is where I think I will benefit the most from this new feature from Google.

    It’s not that I expect to be hacked, but it’s nice to know that if I should be targeted then I’ll receive a notification from Google.
