Google Sniper - Plugging The Leaks
Google Sniper by George Brown launched October 15 of this year and has been a resounding success. It is a complete system for making money online by building mini-sites. Google Sniper is great, but it’s not perfect. There’s one critical area that George chooses to skip over, but this article fills in the gap.
The basics of Google Sniper involve picking a low competition keyword, writing content to fit that keyword theme, using good on page SEO, and finishing up with a review or story to market your product. George provides more than enough info on those areas. Problem is, the course assumes you did a perfect job of assessing your competition, because if you made a mistake, you won’t rank well without link building.
As anyone with any experience in internet marketing can tell you, choosing keywords that accurately is not easy to do. If you make a mistake with the keyword, you’re probably not getting first page of Google, or any sales for that matter.
How can we recover from this mistake?
Well, standard SEO doctrine says it’s link building time. However, due to George’s aversion to link building, he only discusses this on a cursory level in Google Sniper. Due to that, I thought it might be a good idea to give you some ideas for link building here.
1. Social Bookmarking: George covers this well in Google Sniper. It is worth noting that most bookmarks do not pass page rank due to the no-follow tag.
2. Link Wheels: This is where you create a chain of web 2.0 properties together that all point back to your site. Google “linkwheel” for more information.
3. Profile Links: Many high page rank sites allow users to create personal profiles on their site, and often include an area where you can place a link. MTV.com and TED.com are good examples of this type of site.
4. Blog Commenting: Search for blogs related to your site’s content, read them, and make relevant comments linking back to your site using your name. Make sure your comment makes sense in relation to the article, or it will just get deleted.
5. Article Submission: Write quality content and submit it to the best article directories you can find. These directories will allow you to include a resource box at the end of the article where you can link back to your site. Since these articles usually rank quite well by themselves, you’ll find that you get a bit of referral traffic in addition to your backlink.
With the 5 techniques above, you should be able to boost your Google rankings significantly, even on competitive keywords. With this knowledge, you’ve now filled the only major gap in the Google Sniper system, and you’re ready to take the internet by storm. Get to building those sniper sites and get your slice of the pie!
