The Best Marketing Method In The World
This is not a secret, you already know what it is. But you may not have
realized the power of it and why it is the best marketing that your business
can invest in. So that’s why I Eind it necessary to talk about it.
The best marketing in the world is search engine trafEic from the
“organic” or “natural” listings on Google (Yahoo and Bing have similar power,
but Google is the focus because they have by far, the biggest market share and
the most transparent method of the 3 for getting high rankings). Why is this
marketing so powerful? If you get on the Eirst page of Google, you are literally
catching your prospects in the act of looking for the exact content, product, or
service, that you’re providing. No other marketing method can achieve this
power on a regular basis. Many Eirst position rankings on Google capture an
average of 50% of the users that enter a speciEic search term! Imagine being in
the number 1 position for the term “search engine marketing.” Do you think
you’d be rich by now? Well, you certainly wouldn’t be reading this manual. :)
Regardless of where you are in your business right now (unless you
have achieved top rankings for each of your targeted keywords, are
dominating the entire page of those keywords, and have a double listing in
each of your positions), what I have to teach you will be quite valuable to you
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 4
if you are interested in this type of trafEic. And when you do what I tell you to
do, you will create an internet “real estate ASSET” that will keep paying you for
years to come. See, the trafEic you get when you’re on the Eirst page of Google is
FREE (besides what it costs you to get there). Once you are there, it is possible
to stay there for many years and if Google does not change their algorithm, it’s
plausible to assume that you will be there for the life of Google, as long as you
implement proper upkeep on your site?
I will show you a method where you can get 50,000 highly targeted,
BUYERS a month to your site, absolutely free. Can you see the power in that? I
hope so. I will also tell you, it’s deEinitely NOT EASY. It will take commitment
and hard work. I mean, come on, 50,000 free, targeted visitors a month is A
LOT. There are some Fortune 500 companies that would beg, borrow, and steal
for this type of trafEic. And they probably have a budget 1000x the size of
yours. So, don’t think it’s going to happen overnight and take no investment on
your part. That just isn’t realistic. But it can and has been done.
If you’re still reading... meaning, you’re interested in working a REAL
business, this could be the ticket you’ve been looking for. I’ve developed a
method that is a compilation of a lot of information from many different
sources and my own experience. It can be VERY POWERFUL, if implemented
correctly. First let me go into some of the other topics. You will see soon, that I
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 5
have written a much larger, more in‐depth book on this subject and for your
beneEit, I will be including some “leaking” some material from the book to
illustrate my points.
Why Blogs Are Special And Wordpress Rocks
An excerpt from my book, “The Octopus Blog Method”:
“There are many reasons:
1. Google loves blogs. Even more, they love Wordpress (a blogging platform). Matt Cutts
always talks about how great WP is for SEO. Here’s your Eirst resource: Matt Cutt’s Blog.
He’s Senior Engineer at Google. You get the info straight from the horse’s mouth here.
2. WP ranks awesome, especially for long tail (many words) keywords. Google looks at
blogs as if they are offering speciEied content. This is key because when we are
targeting the long tail, Google will be looking for blogs. Better yet, long tail is a user
putting in a more speci*ic search, therefore they are more likely to Eind what they’re
looking for when you’re targeting it, which creates more buyers.
3. WP is basically free. All you have to do is setup hosting and you can get that for like $60/
year. And on that account you can setup like 1000 blogs.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 6
4. On WP, you can create pages until you are blue in the face. More pages = more PageRank
(PR) – I’ll talk about this more.
5. Blogs are easy to setup. You don’t need programming knowledge. I don’t know about
you but I have better things to do than learn how to program a site with HTML into
existence.
6. They don’t necessarily scream: “I’m selling something.” You can actually provide good,
free content to your visitors and then they can click to your offer. They have the ability
to convert extremely well by giving you a chance to pre‐sell your visitors. ”

The 6 Main Secrets To Dominating Google’s First Page
Before I learned the secrets to search engine optimization techniques, I
was probably like you, frustrated and confused about how to rank at the top of
Google. Well for me, those days are over. And they can be for you too. Read on
and hopefully I can tell you some techniques that will skyrocket your chances
for success.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 7
What you probably know is that are two "types" of search engine
optimization techniques: "On‐Page SEO" and "Off‐Page SEO". The way I see it,
many people put WAY TOO much emphasis on On‐Page SEO and think that's
going to get them to the top of Google. What most SEOs know now is that Off‐
Page SEO is 90%+ of the game. However, you still need to do both. On‐page
SEO is what lets Google know what your page is about.
Secret #1: Maximize your On‐Page SEO so you don't shoot yourself in the foot.
It's not hard, so just do it right. Make sure all of your tags, URLs, and on‐page
keyword usage are correct. Make sure your site is easily "crawlable" by
GoogleBot. There is much more but I can't go into it here.
But if you really want consistent results with getting to the Eirst page of
Google, you need to do aggressive Off‐Page SEO, also known as "backlinking."
Not only do you need to do a lot of it, you need to do it correctly and also go for
"quality backlinks." Here are the major secrets associated with this:
Secret #2: Not all links are equal. Where the links are placed counts a lot. If
they are on the homepage of a high PR (PageRank) website, that's fantastic,
but extremely difEicult or expensive to achieve. Next best is getting them on
the inner page of a high PR website, which is deEinitely doable.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 8
Secret #3: You need to link them to your site correctly by linking to the inner
pages of your site, and not your home page. This is the fastest way to get good
rankings because it looks most natural to Google. It's also the method
responsible for getting coveted "double listings", combined with some other
techniques.
Secret #4: Quality and tactics are important but quantity is just as important.
You want as many links as you can get from all types of sites, all different PR.
So don't just focus on getting a few high PR links. Focus on doing consistent
backlinking on a daily or weekly basis to your inner pages that you want to
rank, from all different PR sites.
Secret #5: Get as many backlinks as you can and do it as fast as possible. The
"Google Sandbox", if it's real, is irrelevant. Why? Because SEO is a long‐term
strategy. You should commit at least 3 months to getting a page on your
website ranked. This is why most people fail at this method, because they
don't see results fast enough, so they quit. You must have faith in the method
and continue applying all of these search engine optimization techniques until
you get the results you desire.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 9
Secret #6: Google absolutely LOVES blogs. And using them gives you the best
chance to rank your site on the Eirst page, get double listings, and dominate
entire pages of the SERPS.
These are the MAJOR secrets, but there are many others that contribute the
overall picture. The above is only a drop in the bucket of what is possible!
The 3 Rules To Success You MUST Obey
There are 3 basic rules to make money with blogging. These are simple but
complicated in their own right, because they can and should be expanded
upon over and over again. Obviously, if you want to be super successful, you're
going to have to look into these rules a much deeper, but hopefully this will get
you started.
See, I was just like you. A blogger with something to talk about. But I needed
money too. We can't just sit in our basements writing all day and expect the
cash to Elow. That's not how it works.
But what I realized was that the more people who read my blog, the more
inEluence I could have and the more money I could make. That's a win‐win
situation for everybody. If my blog was just sitting there and nobody was
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 10
reading it, I wouldn't make any money and nobody would be effected by the
words on the page.
So the Eirst rule is: You need trafEic/visitors/readers, whatever you want to
call it. If you don't have people coming to your blog, then you have nothing but
some words on a page that nobody will ever see.
As we’ve talked about, the absolute best trafEic that you can get is from the
"natural" search engine listings on Google. You are literally catching people in
the act of looking for information. When they Eind your website, you will be
johnny on the spot with the info they were looking for. And as I’ve mentioned,
getting trafEic is no easy thing. You can pay for it... but is that really the type of
trafEic you want to drive to your blog? You will need to work for this type of
trafEic.
The second rule is: You need great content. You've heard it before, content is
king. Really, I think it's one of the 3 kings here, but that's just semantics. But
this shouldn't be a problem. You wanted to write a blog in the Eirst place. If
you're not really wanting to write, that's not a problem either ‐ there are
plenty of cheap workers who will write content for you. Either way, your blog
will need great content so Google AND your human visitors will love your
website.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 11
The third rule to get your blog to work is: You need to monetize your website.
Well, duh, you want to make money. So you have to Eigure out a way to
generate income from your visitors. There are 1000 ways to do this. You can
sell your own product, sell somebody else's, or even put AdSense on your
website so if people click on ads, you get paid.
Out of the 3 of these, there isn't 1 that is the most important. They're all
integral parts of the process and you have to do the best you can to maximize
and optimize all the of the rules. For example, you can monetize and write
content all you want, but if you don't have readers, do you really have anything
at all? If you have trafEic and content but you haven't Eigured out a way to turn
those readers into trafEic, now what do you have? A bunch of satisEied readers
and an empty wallet.
So you need to do all 3 and that’s the part where a lot of people fail. And if
you're going to make a truckload of money, you need to understand these
concepts deeply and implement the CORRECT strategies for success.

The 3 Biggest Mistake That Marketers Make
If people knew about these mistakes before they made them, they may think
twice and give themselves a much better chance to succeed. Make sure you
aren’t one of those people!
Big Mistake #1: Doing incorrect or spotty keyword and market research.
They are a number of ways to mess this up. You might pick keywords that have
too much competition. You might go after a niche that does not generally bring
in a lot of money. You might not match your keywords correctly to your
monetization methods. You may not hunt down enough keywords or
keywords with a large enough search volume. You need to make sure you
understand these concepts and the appropriate levels of each of these factors
before you start trying to do any kind of search engine optimization. See this
excerpt from my book:
“ In the world of keywords, there are 3 major factors: Searches, Competition, and Value.
Searches
Each term will have a certain amount of searches per day, month, etc. These numbers
Eluctuate seasonally, yearly, etc. Generally, one and two word search terms are searched far
more often and have far more competition. You need to Eind terms with a minimum amount
of searches per month. Most people I’ve heard will make their cutoff at 2,000‐3,000 per
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 13
month. I like to get more speciEic than that. See, we’re going to be picking at least 10
keywords at Eirst and targeting them in a speciEic order. Since the ones with more searches
will have more competition, we’ll be building our site up to compete with them at a later
date. We’re going to go after smaller competition and thus smaller searches FIRST. Usually
this means “long‐tail” keywords. Look out for 3‐5 word terms that have a lot of searches –
they will probably not have very stiff competition. BUT, very important, when doing your
research, look at “phrase match” numbers, not broad, and not exact. Why phrase? Because
what is being searched will not have much variance from the phrase match, as opposed to
broad which can have a ridiculous amount of variance. And [exact match] is all messed up
in Google. I often see higher numbers for exact match than phrase match – WHAT?? So a
good rule of thumb is to go with phrase match.
So incase you’re confused, this is an example keyword proEile I would like to work out to
START. You will want to expand later: (these are example, not real Eigures – also, I will take
competition into account in the next section)
1. Weight Loss Program – 80,000/month
2. Lose weight fast – 60,000
3. Lose weight fast program – 20,000
4. Lose weight fast diet and exercise – 5,000
5. Extreme weight loss diet – 4,000
6. Extreme quick weight loss diet – 3,000
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 14
7. Extreme Fat loss diet exercise – 2,000
And on and on… (but start with 10‐15 good ones)
And as you get more speciEic, you should be getting more speciEied towards your product.
These smaller search keywords will have less searches so they will be more easily
conquered at Eirst. But since they will be more speciEic, they’ll potentially have higher
conversion rates. Then as your site gains reputation, you’ll have a better chance at moving
up to those bigger keywords. Will you ever rank for “weight loss”? Maybe in a couple of
years, depending on how much you push. But for now, be realistic about the markets you
want to tap into.
For Free Tools:
You want to check out Google’s Keyword Research Tool. Don’t mess with the other free
keyword tools. This one has many features and is the most accurate (um, it’s FROM Google).
Also, you can use put in a website here and it will give you keyword matches based on the
website… very cool.
More from Google: Search‐Based Keyword Tool. This is for more ideas.
For paid tools:
The absolute best is Market Samurai
See a Warrior Forum thread comparing Market Samurai with competitors
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 15
See a Warrior Forum thread for best products ever purchased (and see what the
overwhelming favorite is)
It does far more than keyword research and actually is best for analyzing competition,
Google’s Eirst page, links, and otherwise. It also has a rank tracker I can’t live without. All‐in‐
one tool, only $97. Windows and Mac! Also, I think they let you try it for 12 days. Doesn’t
get much better than that.
Next best: Keyword Elite – has a bunch of great features, more expensive though, and only
for Windows.
Next best: Wordtracker – SOOO expensive for what it is and monthly recurring. Internet
based which is great though. But I think Google’s tool almost does almost as much minus
the competition analysis and long‐tail research.
Next best: Micro Niche Finder – Only for windows, expensive, not as many features.
Next best: Keyword Discovery – It’s good, but why? Just get Market Samurai for Christ’s
sake!
Quite honestly though, many marketers, including myself, have many or all of these. They
all have different value propositions in a way. But I wouldn’t go spending all your money on
keyword research tools. Start with one and if you want more, get another later.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 16
Compe..on
For each keyword, you need to evaluate the competition. There are a couple of ways to do
this. # of competing pages is one way. This is a very “loosy goosy” method, if you will. One
word keywords will have the most competing pages because duh, they show up on the most
pages. But that doesn’t mean that competition is tough for the keyword “but”. What kind of
commercial ability does the word “but” have? How many people are building links with that
as their anchor? Not many I would presume, though I haven’t researched. So competing
pages says one thing, but not everything. If you have a decent term and it has a small
amount of competing pages (say, 20,000 or less), then you might want to think about
cracking into it. Generally, I think competing pages counts more for how quickly your site
gets indexed, instead of how your Eirst page ranking will be.
What’s MOST IMPORTANT is the quality of the competition on the Eirst page. There are
certain websites you don’t want to go up against. You don’t want to go up against huge
authority sites like Wikipedia, About.com, ehow.com, etc., especially if they are sitting in the
#1‐3 spots. That will be very tough to get above because they literally might have trillions of
backlinks, not to mention a number of other critical assets. This will basically translate into
PageRank, which is a Google algorithm that determines how reputable a site is. (But as you
will see, ranking is not all about PR.) Out of the 10 keywords we are picking, you should
theoretically be trying to get to the #1 spot on all of them. If you don’t think you can get the
#1 spot, I wouldn’t say to throw away the keyword, however. If you can get to the 2 or 3
spot, then consider holding on to it, judging it based on how many searches it gets. While
the #1 spot has a far higher click‐through rate (CTR) than the #2 spot, judge it based on
trafEic ability. If you’re #2 for a 10,000 searches term, you can easily get 1000 clicks a month
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 17
which can be quite valuable. If you’re #1 on a 2,000 searches term, you would yield about
the same trafEic as your other #2 spot. But that’s as far as you want to go. If you can’t get
into #1‐3, don’t go for that keyword, at least not until you’re site is kicking it hard.
Ok, if the term’s SERP is clear of major authority sites, check for “On‐site optimization.” Are
there any sites speciEically using the keyword in their URL, Title, Meta description, and
Headers? If not, it is very easy to optimize a blog for a speciEic keyword, and that might give
you a leg up. Also, check to see if there are some weak players in terms of number of pages
to the site. I won’t give a number, but it’s something to look out for.
Then check for “Off‐site optimization.” As you may or may not know, many gurus consider
backlinks to be 90% of this game. And you can’t just take the number as a guide, but you
also need to look at the quality. It has been said that 1 link from a PR 5 domain could be
more valuable than 100 PR 2 links – or something along those lines. Obviously Google is the
only one who knows exactly. Also, backlinks to that exact page will be important. If it’s a
home domain and there are no backlinks, beware, because that’s what I am going to teach
you to do – it means they know how to build links to their site. But if it’s a sub‐domain
that’s ranking (let’s say, from pure On‐Site‐Op), and it has very few backlinks, you can
probably bump it off. But there’s no exact formula here folks. The point is, you need to see
an opening given the amount of on‐page and off‐page optimization you are seeing on the
SERPS verses what you are going to do. Also, keep in mind a couple things. One is, as you
build, these other sites will probably be busy building as well. And the other is, most
backlinks do not show up in reports. InElate all backlink numbers by at least 5X.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 18
There are other factors, such as domain age, internal links, etc. Overall, once you start doing
the research, you will start to see trends and be able to tell which pages you might be able
to squeeze in on. But since we are going to be diversifying our strategy to many keywords,
you won’t need to rely on just that ONE you found. This reduces risk dramatically and
allows you to shoot for more competitive keywords in the long run. You will understand
this more as we go along.
For Free Tools:
SEO Quake plugin for Firefox: When you install it, you can see PR and backlinks come up in
a search. Don’t forget to shut it off when you’re not using it. This is a great way to see front
page competition. However, I would never bother using it for this purpose since I have
Market Samurai.
Yahoo Site Explorer: Don’t use other search engine tools to see backlinks, Yahoo’s is the
best.
WebCEO – awesome PC software to help you analyze your site.
For Paid Tools:
Um, Market Samurai anyone? If you don’t have this for Eirst page competition analysis, I feel
sorry for you. It just blasts away anything else that’s out there. You can see basically every
factor for ranking that we know of. Also, use it enough and you will begin to see trends for
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 19
everything – including markets, which is super important. My recommendation (besides
buying MS), is to use this tool for a couple of hours, for a couple of days, before you make
any decisions. Just do solid research with it for a while and see what you learn. Now THAT’S
a valuable tip.
SEO Elite – From the maker of Keyword Elite, Brad Callon. I believe you can get this
excellent tool (windows based again) for free with Keyword Elite.
SEO Power Suite – If you’re really serious, then you’ll want to check out the products from
Link Assistant. You can buy their products separately or in a package. They aren’t cheap, but
they’re good. Check out Terry Kyle’s analysis of SEO Spyglass where it’s Einding 4‐5x as
many backlinks as Market Samurai. You can trial all of their products as well.
Keyword Value
Commercial value, that is. Are the people coming to the page looking to buy or looking to
research? Hopefully for us, a little bit of both. We don’t want pure either. For example, you
might do a search that yields 9/10 e‐commerce sites. Now, it’s possible that Google is just
looking for a blog to put up on the Eirst page, but how likely is that? Now, if you make your
blog into an e‐commerce site, then that might work. Otherwise, beware. Also, we don’t want
to have a site where our searchers are not looking to buy. For example, any keyword with
the word “free” in it would be a big red Elag. UNLESS of course, you were promoting a CPA
offer and/or giving good info about how to get something for free. In fact, many people who
do SEO overlook that aspect of the game. They don’t want to touch “free.”
There’s a tool out there that some people swear by, but I think it’s basically bogus. It’s
Microsoft’s OCI (online commercial intention) tool. You put in a website or a term and it
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 20
spits out a percentage probability that the customer is going to want to buy. After extensive
usage of this tool, I Eind it buggy and commonly inaccurate. Based on what, you might ask?
Based on me being a smart human being and the tool being a poorly working computer,
IMHO.
There’s a much better way to measure commercial intention. The way you do this is to see
how much people are paying for Google Adwords clicks. You can Eind this data in Google’s
keyword tool, Market Samurai or the others. This data is usually not entirely accurate either
but it can give you a decent sense of things. Are people paying $.25 or $10 a click? That’s a
big difference. If I were you, I’d try to keep it over $1. If you go very high, like over $8‐10, be
ready for some stiff competition. Can you even imagine paying $10 a click?! I’ve seen
reports of some keywords going for over $50 a click! (FYI, you might want to research those
crazies to see what their landing pages look like – because if they’re paying that much, you
know they’re converting for big money).
Historically, there are niches where people pay money online. Weight loss, make money,
dating advice, personal development, etc. The actual keyword may not be as important as
the niche. Remember, if it’s a long tail and people aren’t paying a bunch for Adwords, it
might actually be one of those little known keywords instead of one that doesn’t convert. Or
maybe it just doesn’t convert on Adwords and it will kill on the organic listings? I don’t
really know because each situation is different. Use your brain! The point is, based on
educated research, pick keywords that you think will create buyers or people who take
action. This is SUPER important.
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 21
Domain Name Choice
First off, pick a .com. Let’s just end it there. Yes, you can get away with a .org but what is
your site about? Are you in commerce or are you a non‐proEit? Come on. If you’re worried
about names being taken, you can easily add “info,” “tips,” “review”, “the” (at the beginning),
or the like to almost any domain. Get creative. It doesn’t really matter how long it is. It also
doesn’t really matter if your main domain has the keyword in it right now because with the
use of the All‐in‐one SEO pack, you’ll get your keyword in there when it’s added to your
sub‐domain URL. Better yet, I would use one of your “reach” keywords for your domain.
Like I said, you will target your individual keywords with your blog posts. You might even
want to consider choosing something that’s easy to remember. If you create a really good
site, people might want to return (this is also where having a .com kicks in).
Ajax Who Is is a cool site for searching domains. Really quick and easy, you’ll see. (Yes, you
can obviously search on GoDaddy or others)
If you think aged domains are important (and they can help) and you can deal with how
inElexible or expensive that may be, DomainsBot is a good website. There are many others
too. ”
This is just the part about keyword research and domain names! If you liked

explanation about how to do excellent market research)!

Big Mistake #2: Putting too much stock in “On‐Page SEO”, even with ultra‐low
competition levels. The fact of the matter is that On‐Page SEO used to be the
#1 way to get your page ranked. That’s where keyword stufEing originated. But
times have changed and Google doesn’t really care too much for keyword
stufEing, nor do they pay much attention to sites without a reputation. And the
way to gain a rep on the web is to use Off‐Page SEO. Like I said before, On‐Page
only gets you to the table, it doesn’t make you eat. There are methods out
there that explain good ways to go after non‐competitive keywords with ONLY
On‐Page SEO and very little Off‐Page SEO. It is possible that these methods may
work. But your chance for success is signiEicantly lowered as using only On‐
Page is really a “hit or miss” strategy. So don’t make the mistake of just putting
up a blog, targeting keywords, and expecting results. The CONSISTENCY is in
Off‐Page SEO, and this considerably lowers your risk.
Big Mistake #3: Those who understand that Off‐Page SEO or “backlinking” is
the key to success, sometimes just do it the WRONG WAY. Let me clarify what I
think the wrong way is. I don’t believe there are ANY links that can hurt you.
No amount or type. I am adamant about this because I believe if this was the
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 23
case, then competitors could just SPAM links all over the place pointing to
your website and kick you out of your top spots. This would be completely
unfair and I believe Google knows it. There is no way to know what the intent
of the placed link is, whether good‐hearted white‐hat or malicious. So in that
vein, there’s no way to know who placed that link. So ultimately, I do not
believe in the “Google Sandbox” being a result of the popular myth of “too
much backlinking too fast.” I Eind this to be a rather absurd notion actually. If
the Sandbox exists, I believe the only effect it has is stopping brand new
domains from ranking immediately. And I believe it is widely known that the
sandbox is temporary (3 months or so max). Having said that, the wrong way
to place backlinks is not by doing too many. It’s by spending time and money
placing them in the wrong place. It’s by overspending on outsourcers and tools
that don’t help you. It’s by not understand concepts like “link security” and
what makes a link powerful. So don’t make the mistake of just going out there
and building links before you understand the most optimal link‐building
methods. Believe me, this will save you a ton of time and money. I go into all of
these topics in detail inside my book.

How To Start Today And Replace Your Job In 6 Months
You’re probably wondering right now, is this hype? or is this actually possible?
Well, I’ll tell you right now, it’s deEinitely possible. If you do what I tell you to
do, you can have a blog that pumps you targeted, free visitors for years to
come, on auto‐pilot. But you need a system that works. I outline every step of
this system in my 2010 report. It’s called, “The Octopus Blog Method: How To
Create Massive 6‐Figure Blogs In 6 Months Or Less” and you can demolish
your competitors (yes, even Fortune 500 companies) with the techniques I
will teach you.
Before you go out and buy my book, check out this excerpt from my book,
explaining to you a little bit more about the method and how to get the
greatest beneEit from it:
“What’s the GOAL of this?
The goal here is to get numerous pages of your blog ranking on the Eirst page
(preferably in the Eirst spot) of Google and maybe the other search engines (Google is the
Eirst priority, but if done right, the others will come along too) for “buying” search terms
with high search volume and/or specialized search volume. Ultimately, we want our
blog to be on lots of pages of search listings for dozens of different keywords, with double

listings. This is why I call it The Octopus Blog Method. It reaches far in all directions and it’s
one of the smartest creatures in its territory. Also there’s this,
oc⋅to⋅pus [ok‐tuh‐puhs]
–noun, plural pus⋅es, pi [‐pahy]
2. something likened to an octopus, as an organization with many forms of far‐
reaching inEluence or control.

The trafEic we’re going after is the best trafEic you can get, plain and simple. This is search
engine optimization (SEO… I hope you knew that already) – you are catching a buyer in the
midst of looking for exactly what you are offering. Not only is it THE MOST powerful
marketing method known to man, it is also the wave of the future. Yes, I know it’s been
around for 10+ years, but it isn’t going anywhere and it’s just getting bigger.
This is a BUSINESS, y’all
This report is FAR from a get rich quick scheme. In fact, any experienced marketer who
knows anything about SEO will tell you that getting almost any page to the top page of
Google is 1) Most likely a long‐term solution to website trafEic, 2) A lot of hard work, and 3)
There’s an outlying chance that it may not work out.
But I’ve got news for you folks, this is business. This isn’t Mickey Mouse stuff that we’re
dealing with. This is real, serious, business. That means risk and reward. And if you’re not
Make Money Blogging 201 - Advanced Blogging Strategies 26
looking to take some kind of risk on something, don’t expect to make a lot of money. If you
haven’t inherited money, married into it, or stolen it, you’re probably going to have to do
some work for it. And work means risk, because you are risking your time for return. Even
if you have a “day job” that gives you a paycheck every week, is that risk free? Do you not
risk getting Eired? Having the company go out of business? Hating your life for being in the
rat race? Life is risk, and this won’t be any different. ”
Is it time for you to take a calculated risk in your life? Can you see this
powerful method working for you? Can you envision yourself telling your boss
to stuff it?! Click below to check out my page where I detail exactly what’s
inside the book and see if it’s right for you.
