I’m doing a special, one time only call on what traffic tactics are working for me right now.
I’m also going to show how I got over 20,000 visitors without affiliate help for a recent product launch.
It’s going to be cool and I’m excited to share with you.
Register for the call here. (I don’t keep your info, it’s just so you can get an SMS or Email reminder)
Here are a few of the things I’m going to be talking about:
All you need to know about SEO in 1 minute or less.
The unbelievable type of directory that’s dominating Google instantly.
However, there is a token of truth. The way OLD link wheels were done don’t work as well anymore.
It’s not that they don’t work, it’s that Google has gotten wiser when it comes to realizing when they’re getting spammed.
Remember, Google’s main goal is not to thwart your link building or cost you money. Their goal is to provide the most relevant results to searchers.
Even with my new Link Wheel SEO Software, simply copying in a spun article and shooting it out to all 33 sites won’t give you the same results as being smart about how you use it.
Will you get results if you do that? Sure, but they won’t be as good as if you use the strategy I’m about to outline for you:
Create 3 – 5 keyword rich articles (or buy them) Keep them loosely focused on the same ideas. Your best bet is to pick one core (competitive) keyword and find 3 – 10 variations that are searched. For example: primary: Traffic Generation Secondary: Website Traffic Generation, Generate Free Traffic, Free web traffic generation, etc…
Spin your content THOROUGHLY. Spin each full sentence 3 to 5 times and change the length of each one Spin words and multiple word terms as often as you can. Be sure to also spin your link text and feature all of your keywords.
PLAN YOUR STRATEGY! This is where the biggest mistake comes in. Just blasting out a spun article leaves too large of a footprint. Pick a few sites and send the spun content out to 5 – 8 of them.
Link the posts together and create the next wheel which links to them. Focus on slightly different keywords for the next wheel.
Repeat steps 1 through 4.
With Link Wheel Software, this can be almost completely automated. There’s a button you can press to link separate projects together. The only part that requires energy is to create the content, but that can be outsourced easily.
Google is looking for specific things that you must vary to get your content noticed: Length of articles for linked content (if one article links to another that is the same length, it sends up a red flag) and anchor text of links between linked content (having the same anchor text sends another red flag).
Seriously, those of you that know me already know that I wouldn’t release a product that doesn’t work. A standard link wheel will still get you some results, but if you want to crush it, follow the easy, 4 step system outlined above.
I am sick and tired of hearing SEO dummies give out advice about duplicate content. They talk about duplicate content being a “myth”. They refer to Google’s Webmaster Blog as though Google is going to tell you the truth about how to manipulate your way into the top search results. That just doesn’t make any sense to me at all.
More importantly, Google is directly referring to something that doesn’t affect most of us.
In this blog post, Google discusses the impact of duplicate content on your own website. For people that make their money through Adsense, this is relevant.
What about the rest of us?
What about content marketers that syndicate videos, articles, press releases, and blog posts?
This blog post doesn’t apply to us directly and they don’t discuss our main concerns at all.
They reveal some slightly relevant details, but unless you make your money through content sites, I’d recommend not wasting your time reading it.
In a few pages, I’ll give you some advice on how to conquer that side of the duplicate content penalty, so your time is best spent reading this through to the end.
Here’s the truth about the duplicate content penalty:
When it comes to content marketing: Google is only going to give you credit for the first 3 or 4 times it finds your article, video, press release, or blog post if it is exactly the same as the other versions.
This means that you can submit an article to 300 directories and you’ll get credit for 3 or 4 of them. After that Google says “I’ve already seen this one, so you get no credit for it”.
The links pointing to your website won’t count.
The amount of times it’s been reposted and syndicated don’t count.
That’s where content spinning comes in, yet every single content spinner available does it wrong.
Yes, every single content spinner is based upon broken logic and there’s a better way to do it.
The time has come to finally solve these problems. NOW.
The Problem And The Solution
Here is the problem in a graphic:
This is what happens when you submit an article or other type of content. Google knows that the others are there. In fact, it even indexes them.
It just never shows them for the search results of the keyword you target.
To see this for yourself, do a Google search for the title of an article you’ve submitted like this: “Your Article Title Here”. By putting quotes around the title, you’re telling Google to only provide results that have that exact phrase in the exact order that you ask for it.
You’ll find from a few dozen to hundreds of times that Google has found your article. Yet, It shows only the ones that have the most authority when someone searches the keyword term you’ve targeted.
Here’s how to fix the problem:
By spinning your content the right way, Google doesn’t see duplicates. It sees a lot of original content.
That gives you better results, more backlinks, and most importantly, it gives you what article marketing is supposed to give you in the first place:
The goal of article marketing is to get your content syndicated to give you more backlinks and traffic.
The graphic above shows an article syndicated from a single directory. If you spin your content the right way, that should happen for many of the directories and you’ll get credit for the first few times your article is picked up by sites, on top of the credit you get from the directory posting.
This is MUCH better than simply submitting a single article to dozens or hundreds of directories to only get credit for 3 or 4 of them.
Here are 2 key benefits of spinning your content (not just articles)
1. Better results from a single piece of content.
2. Target more than one keyword term with one idea or marketing angle.
Getting results is the reason we spend time writing content, blogging, creating videos, etc…
Why would anyone be satisfied with 3 or 4 backlinks from a great article?
The ability to target more than one keyword term with a piece of content is amazing and the results are, too.
With a single video, I targeted 5 keyword phrases and ranked in the top 3 for 3 of them within 4 hours. That is a measurable result!
Most Content Spinners Suck.
The core concept of spinning content has been limited by the software programs that help you do the spinning.
Nearly all of them are based upon the idea of spinning individual words or phrases inside your content to make it appear different.
The key problem with this is that the fully automated ones butcher your content.
It pulls words from a Thesaurus database to find ones that can stand in for the words you used when you originally created the content.
Yet, software is not smart enough to use proper grammar rules and makes you look silly.
Seriously, the English language is one of the most complicated languages in existence. Software can’t “do it for you” the right way.
The semi automated ones require a lot of time as you go through and pick similar words to replace the original ones you used.
When I created my content spinner, The Spin Wizard, I knew this was something that had to be fixed.
The solution was to have the core spinning function be based upon sentences, with word and phrase spinning added in to make content more unique.
By spinning this way, you rewrite sentences to say the exact same thing using different words.
It’s far easier to restructure a sentence then it is to change every word in your content.
Google Is Not As Smart As Most People Think!
On July 8 of 2006 I announced the death of the link exchange via a press release.
The funny thing is that just a few months ago, I found a very competitive keyword being dominated through link exchanges as one of their core link building method.
If you do a search for “Make Money Online”, you’ll find this site at #1
Scroll to the bottom and you’ll find their “link partners” listed there. You’ll also see link exchange partners in their “blogroll” on the right side of the blog.
I couldn’t believe it.
While I still feel that link exchanges stink, bloggers do it all the time with a few relevant blogs and it works out just fine for them.
The point in telling you this is that Google is not as smart as most of us think.
We focus on their ability to “figure out” what we do when trying to build links.
We all give them far too much credit.
Win With Duplicate Content
Calling what Google does a “Duplicate Content Penalty” is misleading. It does exist, but instead of being a true penalty, it’s more of a natural way for Google to give credit for relevance.
Google is simply choosing the most relevant version of the content that it finds.
The first thing it will do is give positioning to the sites with the most authority. Sites like EzineArticles, ArticlesBase, YouTube, Viddler, PrWeb, Webwire, Squidoo, and Hubpages have a very high level of authority and you’ll find them ranking for longer keyword phrases very easily.
The next thing you can do to defeat the “penalty” is to build links to your content, whether it’s an article, a video, or a press release is to build links to it. RSS feeds, Social Bookmarks, and blog posts are great locations to send some link love to your content and get them to rank better.
This doesn’t just apply to content you put out, but to duplicate websites or web pages. By building links to them, you can outrank the original site. It indicates to Google that you are the authority, not the original.
Giving your content a thorough spinning will help, too. That will take the whole “duplicate” issue out of the game completely.
The Spin Wizard is available through Traffic Magnet and Link Wheel and it’s the only content spinner online that gives you the ability to spin by sentence and individual keywords or keyword phrases. It is also the only one that gives you the ability to spin the text associated with numerous types of content: Videos, Articles, Press Releases, Podcasts, RSS, Social Bookmarks, Classified Ads, and Web Directories.
In the video, I talk about the changes Google has implemented over the last few years, including some very recent ones. I hope it opens your eyes to ways you can easily out market your competition in pretty much any market on the internet.
They’re lazy, if you take the extra few steps and follow what Google’s revealed to us, you can easily crush it.
As an aside, I created another new video that you should watch. It reveals ways that other “traffic teachers” are faking proof to convince you that they might know something… I’d rather just teach you, my credibility will come when you see results
To see the new video, head over to my Traffic Magnet site and give me your email address. The confirmation emails seem to be a touch delayed, but you’ll get the video as soon as you confirm that you asked for the info.
While writing this article, I had a very serious realization. Working for StomperNet took me away from what I love to do.
I need to be in the trenches, figuring out new ways to attract visitors. I need to be helping people with my software and my knowledge, because nobody “gets” traffic like I do. I need to have the time to focus on my family and my customers. Read the article and I’m sure it will make sense to you:
Your Inner Circle – Creating The Ultimate Group Of Your Best Customers.
By: Ross Goldberg
Before we dig into what this is about, I must issue a warning: This idea is best applied to info marketers and consultants. It will be difficult to apply for those that have physical product businesses, but I’d love to hear about it if you figure out a way to apply it for physical products.
While at a seminar in Vegas, I became a bit irritated with where my bank account was sitting. I had a bunch of payments that I was owed and they hadn’t arrived on time. With the economy in the crapper, late payments had become very common… Instead of chasing money, I decided to take it upon myself to do something about it.
A quick aside: My main fault in building my business has always been list building. My customer and prospect list is hovering right around 6,000 Thankfully, my customers love me and the list is fairly responsive due to my ridiculous nature. Over the 4 years I’ve been teaching, I’ve lost about 40,000 subscribers, but the ones that I’ve kept seem to like me. The bigger your list, the easier this is going to be to pull off.
I made just under $10,000 in 48 hours with no sales letter.
I know that’s not as impressive as some of the “million dollar days” that have happened in “Internet Marketing”, but there were some interesting pieces of what happened that make it pretty cool:
This came from a quick idea during a 5 minute conversation with some new friends.
It took 15 minutes to setup.
I didn’t even use a single web page, blog post, or tweet to make it happen.
I created something that helped me and a small group of my customers at the same time.
If that sounds appealing to you, please, read on. I’m going to give you everything that you need to do exactly what I did.
The idea was to create my “Inner Circle”. I would give my customers an offer that appeared to be totally in their favor, but actually would be of a massive help to me, too.
The process was simple.
1.Send an email describing what I was doing.
2.Request a response in essay/survey format to “apply” to my new program.
3.Send them a response with directions.
Here is the exact email that I sent:
Subject: Urgent – From Ross
Many of you have been asking for this for over a year.
A way for you to get personal help from me without a spending a fortune.
No need to beat around the bush here…
I want to coach you for the next six months.
I want you to get every product I create.
I’m going to help you DESTROY every barrier you’re currently facing.
Plus, it’s going to be for only 5% of my standard coaching fees.
The catch is that you must qualify and move very quickly – I’m only going to be able to take 10 people into this program, as we’ll have a lot of interaction.
If this sounds like something you’d like to find out more about, I need you to submit a support ticket to (my help desk link was here)
Here are the questions that I’d like you to answer:
What markets are you in?
How long have you been doing this?
Are you technically capable?
What kind of online presence do you have? (websites, blogs, social media)
Most importantly: Why you feel we would work well together.
I look forward to working with you!
Ross Goldberg
The responses that I got were amazing I had 16 people apply and had only planned on accepting 10. Two of the responses were ridiculous, so I sent them special custom messages pushing them away from the program. I sent the rest of them this:
First of all, I want to thank you for moving fast. Action is the most important part of this program and you’ve shown me that you’re capable of taking action.
You’ve been selected to join my Immortal Coaching Program!
You’ll be getting from me:
1 15 – 20 min. call per week.
1 group Mastermind call with other members where we all help each other every other week.
Every product I release in the next 6 months (I have a script coming out that will sell for $297 that is going to have a massive impact)
I’m excited to be working with you and will be giving you a call this weekend while I’m in Vegas to welcome you and let you know how this is going to work.
Please send $597 (one time payment, no recurring bills) via paypal to (removed my paypal email so you don’t try to sign up and respond with your phone number, so I can call you as soon as possible.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Ross
I had prewritten this response and outside of a few special people, I didn’t add anything to it at all. All I had to do was select it from a dropdown window as a response in my help desk.
Out of the 16 that responded, 12 signed up for the program. One of the people that signed up was one of the original two that I tried to steer away. Out of the total people that indicated interest in the program, 75% of them ended up signing up and paying me as fast as they could to be a part of this program.
The original goal in creating this program was to create a “bug testing” group that would be able to go through my new software and info products to find any errors I might have made and improve them before I put them up and sold them to my customers.
However, something crazy happened immediately after I released this program that made it impossible for me to honor my responsibility with this group. I met Brad Fallon…
Within weeks, I was working double time for StomperNet to help with the new version of the company and release to the public.
So… Instead of releasing a new product every month, I released only one new product in the last 6 months I still opened up my toll free number to my group every Friday that I was home and not in Atlanta at Stomper headquarters. The mastermind calls never did come together, but the group could have gotten on the phone without me pretty easily.
Out of the 12 people that joined the program, I never heard from 4 of them via the phone at all. Another 4 of them called 4 times or less throughout the entire length of the program. The other 4 contacted me sometimes just to say “Hi” and let me know that they were taking action and moving forward on things I’d told them to do or work on.
I setup a social network on Ning for them to interact and was impressed that 6 of the members were checking in on an almost daily basis and they all helped each other quite a bit.
So, this program ended just about a week ago.
I decided to test out something on this wonderful group of my customers. Instead of letting them know how insanely proud I am of their accomplishments over the last 6 months, I focused on the one thing that nearly every one of them did wrong.
I gave them free reign to contact me once a week and after about 90 days of me letting them know that I was busy with Stomper stuff, most of them stopped contacting me completely. The only time I heard from them was when it was an emergency and they absolutely had to get my help.
The truth is that I am lucky to have had this amazing group of smart people that were understanding enough to give me a break when I wasn’t able to fulfill each of my promises. Did they get $597 worth of value? DEFINITELY. Did they get everything I promised? Nope…
Their responses to my disappointment was (except for one of them) not angry at all. They all stuck up for me to each other. Talking up their interactions with me as if I was a saint.
The truth is that I dropped the ball more than once and they still said “Thank You”.
What they don’t know is that they’re getting a new offering of mine that’s valued at $997 to make up for me not being able to provide everything that I promised (I guess they’ll know now).
Any of you can literally swipe this entire program from me with the two simple pieces of it. You end up with a group of your best customers that you’ll be able to interact with, learn from, and help more than you can imagine.
If you ever end up in a situation like I did, where you aren’t able to follow through on your promises, it’s your responsibility to go above and beyond to ensure that you make up for it 150%. Your customers will love you for it.

I hate bonus wars. Everyone competes for your attention and I usually don’t have the time to create a product or do crazy stuff to increase interest in a product.
This is different.
Mike Filsaime is a friend of mine. I own nearly every product he’s ever released and he’s made a huge difference to me and my business.
I’ve actually consumed The 7 Figure Code and got a lot from the contents of the course.  Over time, I saw that there was something missing from the course. ME.
I’ve built a healthy 6 figure income for my family and keep my business very simple.
I don’t have any staff (I’ll be hiring an assistant soon, but that’s it).
I don’t WANT any staff. I enjoy being able to do just about anything that needs to be done for my business and will be keeping it that way.
I’ve devised a way to be able to help my customers and still keep a majority of my time open for StomperNet (more on that soon).
So, I decided to put together how I’ve kept my business booming, yet simple.
I call it The 6 Figure Code.
Then, I realized that I have some amazing content from a marketer that should have been included in the initial 7 Figure Code product. We’ll call this person “Marketer X”.
The DVD includes how to bridge the gap from 7 figures to 8 figures.
Now we had the 8 Figure Code.
So, we end up with the 6 – 8 Figure Code. On that page, you can find out how to get my brand new DVD for free.
and respond with your phone number, so I can call you as soon as possible.
