SEO for YOU: Search Engine Optimization for Ordinary Everyday People

SEO
Image for illustration purposes only.
Did you know there are now over two billion websites? It's true, but that's not your competition. In 2008 Google announced it had indexed over one trillion web pages!

That's your competition!

One trillion web pages . . . it's a sobering thought, especially if real search engine optimization is mostly a mystery to you.

There is good news though—most of those pages aren't very well optimized. A properly optimized page has a genuinely serious advantage.

Please answer this very revealing question to yourself...

What are you doing to improve your site's search engine ranking?

  • Are you submitting your site to the search engines?

    Reality answers! So is everyone else—at least one trillion pages worth. Sorry, but all that gets you is entry into the search engine battleground . . . with one trillion pages trying to lure the same visitors you want to draw to your site.

  • Are you making a few little tweaks you read about online?

    Reality answers! You're not the only one you know. It takes more than few free tips to gain good rankings. Consider this . . . with hordes of people using the same free tips, how does that give you the edge you need? Now you know why a few free tips that everyone has access to aren't enough. You need deeper knowledge to create an advantage for yourself.

  • Are you asking other sites for reciprocal links?

    Reality answers! How's that working for you? The truth is, you may get a drop of traffic from those links, but search engines don't value reciprocal links near as much as one-way links. My free gift to you when you get SEO for YOU shows you four easy ways to receive one-way links to your site from important, high-value sites. High-value links completely blow away reciprocal links from a search engine optimization perspective.

  • Are you doing anything else to help your website rank better . . . or are you hoping to get a lucky break?

    Reality answers! When it comes to search engine rankings, good luck is the result of smart optimization. Bad luck is the result of doing nothing, or doing the wrong things, and hoping to get lucky.

Time for a reality check!

Here's the awful truth—if you're doing no more than the average webmaster does to optimize his or her site, you've got a better chance of winning the Powerball lottery than you do of having your web pages rank well.

  • Odds of winning Powerball: about 1 in 1.95 million
  • Odds of an unoptimized web page ranking well: about 1 in 1 trillion
You've got five times better odds of winning the lottery! Not to brag, but...

This Site Ranks Extremely Well in Lots of Search Engines!

How well?

I tested 21 search terms relevant to my content at 13 search engines. This site had 224 first page listings. Add in the results where it had more than one listing on the first page and the total is 246 first page listings.

To tell you the truth, this site isn't even optimized as well as it could be. I rushed to rebuild it when it was hacked last year, but even so, it was still the number one site 59 times! See the rankings (opens in a new window).

If you looked at those search engine rankings, you've seen it is very much possible to consistently score top rankings, so now let me ask you one more thing...

Do you still believe any of the following search engine myths?

  • Search engine optimization is too hard for the average person.

    Reality answers! Everything I write, I write for ordinary everyday people like you because that's what I am. SEO for YOU is no different. Search engine optimization is more strategic than technical, so it's easier to understand than most folks realize. You really can optimize your own website by following my proven strategies and techniques. It's really not too hard, you just need to know what to do.

  • Search engines change their ranking methods all the time so it's impossible to optimize a site and have it stay optimized.

    Reality answers! While the algorithms do change, it's to foil spammers and provide better results, usually having little effect on properly optimized sites. I've used the same basic optimization techniques since 1997, and if you viewed my search rankings you saw these strategies and techniques obviously still work—and work very well indeed.

  • A good search engine ranking is nothing but luck.

    Reality answers! Let me be brutally honest . . . only someone unhappy about ranking poorly would say that. This site ranks extremely well for numerous search terms across multiple search engines—that's positive PROOF luck has nothing to do with it.

  • You should optimize your site for Google because it is the most dominant search engine today.

    Reality answers! According to the latest (2009) Neilson ratings, about 60 percent of all searches are performed at Google. Do you really want to ignore the other 40 percent of searchers? Let me make this perfectly clear—a properly optimized web site can rank well at any search engine, including Google. You'll discover how in SEO for YOU, and if Google ever loses market share your site will be positioned better than most to weather the change.

In SEO for YOU, you'll not only discover what to do to improve your web site's search engine rankings, but why you should do it. I don't just say to do this or do that, but I explain the concepts in plain English so you really can understand search engine optimization and start your web site's rise to lofty, enviable rankings.

I also reveal—for the first time ever—my secret source for search engine intelligence that tells me in advance some of the changes the search engines are planning (on page 96). Yes, YOU can use this trusted source too, that's why I reveal it—but if you don't want to bother with it, don't worry, SEO for YOU will help you for years to come.

With your own copy of SEO for YOU, you will discover:

  • How to find the actual search terms related to your content that people are using every day.
  • How to optimize your content for search engine rankings AND humans so your site ranks well and people will be drawn to it like a honey bee to flowers.
  • How to structure your web site for optimum rankings—very few webmasters do this right.
Broadly speaking, that's all search engine optimization really is—getting good rankings for the search terms relevant to your content that people are actually using.

Of course, knowing that and knowing how to achieve it are two very different things. You'll see exactly how to do it in SEO for YOU.

Psst . . . want to know another secret?

An "insider" helped me to perfect my optimization techniques. He gave me a confidential and proprietary training manual that a top search engine uses to train employees to find "spammy" websites. This manual clearly spells out what spam is to this top search engine, and how sites are penalized.

Because of this manual, I know EXACTLY which erroneous optimization techniques webmasters use that they think are helping their site's ranking, but in reality actually HARM their site's ranking!

Before making this sales page I tested 21 search terms relevant to my content at 13 search engines. If you didn't view the results before, here's the link again.

Here's how those search results add up:

Search Engine First Page

Second Page

Third Page

search.com 19 of 21 1 1
Snap 18 of 21 3 0
ixquick 20 of 21 1 0
Totals: 224 28 8 13
This is the undeniable effectiveness of SEO for YOU strategies and techniques:
  • 224 first page rankings for 21 search terms at 13 search engines
  • 246 first page rankings counting the times it was listed twice
  • The number one site 59 times

I used a wide range of search terms when I checked my site's search engine positioning. That reveals four very important things:

  • I didn't cherry-pick one or two search terms to falsely highlight results.
  • When you use truly effective optimization strategies and techniques, your site can rank well for lots of different search terms.
  • When you use truly effective optimization strategies and techniques, your site can rank well at lots of different search engines.
  • Search engine optimization isn't just dumb luck, there are real strategies and real techniques that REALLY DO work.
Does my site rank high for every search term I want? Of course not—no one beats everyone else all the time, but my results prove you can win plenty of the time.

I've always been motivated by this quote...

quotation If you do the same things you've always done, you'll get the same things you've always gotten. quotation

That's usually true, but when it comes to search engine optimization, if you don't know what you're doing and you only do what you've always done, you won't get the same results you've always gotten—other sites will pass yours, burying it deeper and deeper.

I'm guessing you're reading this because you want better results.

Your Site CAN Have Better Results . . . You CAN Do It

How long do you want to wait before getting started? You can spend months researching optimization strategies and still not find everything you'll discover in SEO for YOU.

You need to know . . . some of the free optimization advice you'll find online is wrong. If you use the misinformed SEO techniques people are teaching, your website could be penalized or even banned from search engines!

How will you filter the truth from the misconceptions and flawed ideas? The reality is, if you don't already know the truth, it's extremely difficult to untangle the true from the false. Guess wrong even once and your site could be penalized or banned.

Discover Worry Free Search Engine Optimization

Because I have that search engine employee training manual, I know which practices are safe and which ones mean trouble. Following the SEO for YOU strategies and techniques is completely search engine safe and truly effective.

These are real strategies that have nothing to do with dumb luck, sponsored listings, or buying advertising space. Real optimization means getting free and natural rankings at multiple search engines.

How do you win the rankings game if you don't know the rules?

Your only other option is to hire someone to do it for you.

SEO firms charge outrageous fees, have you seen them? I checked about 30 sites and only three had published prices:

Company A:
Small Business Account: $595.00 set up fee, $349.95 per month
Large Business Account: $2,100.00 set up fee, $895.00 per month

Company B:
Site Assessment: prices start at $20,068.00!
SEO Consulting: prices start at $2,000.00 per month
SEO Services: prices start at $400.00 per month per keyword
SEO Training: prices start at $6,975.00!

Company C:
$299.95 to optimize one page

That's too much for search engine optimization!

No wonder most of them don't publish their prices.

Don't worry, SEO for YOU costs much less than that. And once it's yours you can optimize as many pages and web sites as you want. There are no monthly fees, hidden fees, licenses, or tricky pricing designed to milk you dry . . . just a fair, one-time investment that leads to better search engine rankings.

Along with SEO for YOU, you'll also get...

Unsolicited testiminial from Salley Knight. I think SEO for YOU is excellent. I've read so much very poorly written and obviously self-promoting material, this is refreshingly thoughtful and clear. I've realized how much lousy material there is, which makes your material stand out.
- Salley Knight


SEO for YOU is outstanding!

I finished reading SEO for YOU a couple of weeks ago. I started implementing your strategy to an old website I had that was doing nothing but showing my illustration skills.

The domain name was good but no one except the people I had given the URL to knew it was there. Now just after two weeks it is coming up in Google's search results as number 3 and 7 under certain keyword phrases.

If this is working for two or three keywords already, then with my constant updating and fine tuning, who knows how successful my site may become. Thank you so much, you have done it again.

This book serves as a major foundation in succeeding towards that goal of raising your website's readership.

Here are the answers to a few things you may be wondering about...

Search engine optimization is not that complicated. You only need to understand the strategies and techniques involved. SEO for YOU is a do-it-yourself guide designed for everyone interested higher search engine rankings.
You do not need to be an expert webmaster to put SEO for YOU to work for you. You only need to apply the strategies and techniques you'll discover in SEO for YOU to your own web site.
Good search engine rankings are made possible because most webmasters have no idea what it takes to reach the top of the search engines. With SEO for YOU, their lack of knowledge is your gain.
SEO for YOU is 102 pages of eye-opening revelations about search engine optmization. The lines are NOT double-spaced to puff up the page count and make it appear like there's more content than their really is!
There are NO "black hat" techniques in SEO for YOU that put your web site at risk of being penalized or banned by the search engines. In fact, SEO for YOU points out the innocent mistakes people make and penalized tactics that others use that cost their web site a loss of search engine positioning. Maybe you're making some of them now and don't even know it.
If you want to take the time to check the results I show for yourself I welcome you to do so, just be aware that search engine rankings do fluctuate. You may find my site is listed higher than I reported for some terms, and may be a little lower for others. The key point is that my site always ranks highly for different search terms at several different search engines at any given time. Also, remember not to count the sponsored listings, they are not part of the rankings.
With SEO for YOU, I hand you the exact same strategies and techniques that I have used for over a decade to have the search engines drive enough traffic to my site that I earn my living entirely online. Whether your goal is to build a content site to earn money or simply to be of service, SEO for YOU will help you achieve your goals.
It's a great feeling to enter a search phrase at any search engine and have your site pop up on the first page, knowing your site beat out millions of other sites. On the other hand, when my site was hacked last spring and my search engine rankings plummeted, it was a sickening feeling. Now that my site is almost back to where it was—that's right, it used to rank even better—I wrote SEO for YOU to help others avoid the "lost at sea" feeling that comes with knowing your web site is drowning at the bottom of the search results.
SEO for YOU is comprehensive search engine optimization designed to work well at all search engines. It's not just Google-centric like so many others teach. Why not rank well at them all? Ranking well at all seach engines means that much more traffic is being driven to your site.

Most webmasters think they can do whatever they want with their web pages, after all, it's their site. While technically that is true, the search engine's can also do whatever they want. If you want the search engines to drive traffic to your site you have to play the game by the rules they set.
Do you have a keywords strategy for your web site? If not, you have a minimal chance to have your site rank well, and virtually no margin for error. Discover how to develop the right keywords strategy in SEO for YOU.
There are two broad areas that factor into web site optmization, on-site techniques and strategies and off-site strategies. SEO for YOU deals mainly with on-site factors, but I also give you some great tips to help with off-site optimization as well!
You can read the story of how my site was hacked, what I did to overcome the loss of search engine positioning that caused, and what you can do to make your site harder to hack by download the the PDF document from my media page. That link will open in a new window or new tab, depending on your browser configuration. You can download it to read at your leisure later so you won't lose where you're at on this page.
While my SEO for YOU system provides excellent results for me, results cannot be guaranteed because too many factors are outside of my control—most significantly, how well you implement the strategies and techniques on your site.
See my fancy bottom! :)
