Google Website Competition Tool

There’s a new tool that’s just been released inside Wealthy Affiliate and it’s called the Google Website Competition Tool.

What does it do?

When you’re getting started with linkbuilding and SEO, the easiest way to determine a keyword’s competition is by checking the number of websites by using quotes around them.

What usually happens is that Google will not give you the exact number of competing websites. That’s why you have to click more until you reach the last page which will reveal the real competition.

For example, search in Google for wealthy affiliate review by it around in quotes.

As you can see you have 208,000 competing websites but when you click all the way down to the last page (in my case page 41), you’ll see that there’s only 405 results for that keyword.

The Google Website Competition Tool inside Wealthy Affiliate is definitely going to save some time on my part. It also prevents the Google Sorry page which comes up when Google thinks you’re using their resources too much by researching the keywords too fast.

That’s it for now and good thing I’m able to catch up with posting here.

SEO For Offline Businesses

I was browsing the forum inside Wealthy Affiliate when I stumbled upon a thread inside the member’s recommended section. The title was very catchy and it goes something like this:

Honestly, this is the FASTEST way to make BIG money

I thought to myself that maybe this was just another newbie that’s promoting some lame product. It turned out that this thread was from a veteran marketer (and a successful one) named Phil.

The thread was all about offering SEO for local businesses offline. Basically, there are so many local businesses that want their company to be seen in the search engine results. Of course, it’s a no brainer that business owners want this kind of exposure and it makes perfect sense that this would be a viable way to make money by offering SEO services.

Majority of the people inside Wealthy Affiliate are doing affiliate marketing for earning money online. What most people don’t know is that they can apply the things that they’ve learned inside WA to help local businesses. Personally, I’ve never had the chance to try this out here in the Philippines because I think most offline business owners don’t know what Google is. hahaha.

Right now I’m just too busy to be working on my own online business and promoting Wealthy Affiliate. Everything is working out fine and I’m just finishing up a batch of email followups to help those who want to learn how to make money online and how WA can help them with that.

At least the thread lived up to the hype of the title. Phil even left a very interesting postscript at the end saying that Frank Kern no longer creates information products. Frank now helps local businesses and charges $100,000 for every client!

My Wealthy Affiliate Dashboard

This past few days I’ve seen some really positive results from my Wealthy Affiliate review promotions. This week’s post I’d like to talk about my Wealthy Affiliate Dashboard. This is where I head out to whenever I like to find out what’s the latest updates about the different parts of Wealthy Affiliate.

One thing that I like about the dashboard is that you can arrange specific modules in it but some of the modules are already fixed. One module that’s fixed is the WordPress Express feature inside WA. You can find the module right above the fold in your left but in my opinion I think this module shouldn’t be place at top. I believe that most of the new members are beginners and they should be first exposed to the basics of Internet marketing, which is the WA Action Plan, and not about WordPress Express. Therefore, the action plan should be moved up above the fold so beginners can readily access it. Continue reading

What Are Backlinks and How Do They Work?

Three years ago I didn’t have any idea on what a backlink is. I remember back then when my co-worker was obsessed with getting backlinks to get his web page ranked high in Google. I just thought that what he’s doing is something spammy so I didn’t really pay too much attention with SEO especially when it comes to backlinks.

Today’s post is all about backlinks.

What’s amazing is that this resource came from Jennifer Ledbetter who is also known as PotPieGirl. Yes, PPG is also a member of Wealthy Affiliate and that’s one of the best reasons why I’m going to stay forever inside WA. Only a few people can really teach you how to make money online and one of them is PotPieGirl.

Inside WA, PPG is known for writing very in-depth explanation on some of the terminologies that’s used in Internet marketing. What’s special about PPG is that she has the ability to make the technical sound more user-friendly so to speak. Continue reading

A Little Change of Plan With This Site

Due to some recent observations, I’m changing my posting frequency here in my Wealthy Affiliate review site. Now I’m going to post a new article once or twice every week.

The main purpose why I created this site is to target new products that’s related to Internet marketing and introduce them to Wealthy Affiliate. After over a year of applying the knowledge and getting to know some great people inside WA, I believe they’re the best place to start and grow your Internet marketing business.

Other tasks to do on this site is to make a custom homepage that will have a full review of the Wealthy Affiliate University. My journey is just getting better and better and I hope to help as many people as possible.
