{"product_id":"2940014932714","title":"Rock Solid SEO","description":"Over the last few months I've seen hundreds of SEO marketers lose entire income streams overnight. And it wasn't very long ago that I was in the same boat. I was doing SEO just like everyone else, following what the gurus were saying, and sitting pretty on a few high ranking sites. But Then Everything Changed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOut of nowhere, my websites all TANKED. Every single one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course I later found out that it was thanks to a little thing called the Google Panda. I found out that it had actually affected thousands of websites, and I wasn't the only one who got killed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Income Dropped to Almost $0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you might imagine, I got pretty freaked out. What was I supposed to do now? I had a family to support. Plus I was saving up for a sweet vacation, as this had been my best year to date\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen it hit me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wasn't building a solid business!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the fact that dozens of marketers had told me not to solely focus on SEO, I did it anyways. I figured that I was doing okay, why should I listen to them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI mean, they were just jealous, right?.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo after getting killed in the SERPs, I finally learned my lesson. I decided to build a real, brandable business from that point on. No longer would all of my traffic come from SEO, but from other sources as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd you know what happened? I developed a system of building websites that just cannot  fail. Not only does it help me rock in the SEO world, but get tons of traffic from other sources as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s a reason why SEO is by far the most popular free traffic method online. In fact, there are several reasons.\u003cbr\u003eFor one thing- it can create HUGE passive income streams. Once you have a website ranking at #1 for its keywords, it will make money day in and day out- whether you work on it or not.\u003cbr\u003eNow this isn’t to say that you should never touch it again. It’s just saying that it won’t constantly need your attention like paid traffic campaigns do.\u003cbr\u003eAnother reason that people like SEO is its CHEAP. You don’t need a huge budget to get started. In fact, all you really need is a few bucks for your domain name and hosting.\u003cbr\u003eBuilding backlinks, writing articles, creating videos- these take a bit of time, but no money (unless you outsource them). And since most marketers have more time than money, this is a good way for them to drive traffic.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, search engine traffic is EXTREMELY targeted! These days, people go to Google when they have a problem. Weight loss, divorce, money, heart disease, misbehaving kids- Google has the answer to everything! You just plug in your question, hit the Enter key, and Google helps you out.\u003cbr\u003eAnd guess what- if your website is at the top of the listings, YOU are the one who has the chance to help that Google user.\u003cbr\u003eThat sounds like a business opportunity to me.\u003cbr\u003eBut here’s the thing- the online world changes daily. This includes search engines, and how business owners can use SEO to drive traffic.\u003cbr\u003eTo prove that, let’s take a look at how SEO has changed over the years.\u003cbr\u003eHow SEO Used to be Done\u003cbr\u003eWhen Google first came out, it was EXTREMELY easy to rank a website for certain keywords. This was based on both onsite optimization and offsite optimization.\u003cbr\u003eOld School Onsite Optimization\u003cbr\u003eIt used to be that all you had to do was stuff your site full of the keywords you were targeting, and you’d get traffic.\u003cbr\u003eFor example, let’s say you were targeting the keywords “how to lose weight.”\u003cbr\u003eIf you typed that into Google, it was fairly common to come across sites that looked like this (no, I’m NOT kidding):\u003cbr\u003eHow to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight how to lose weight\u003cbr\u003e….pretty ridiculous, right?\u003cbr\u003eWell it didn’t take Google too long to figure out that a VERY high keyword density doesn’t deliver quality content to the reader.\u003cbr\u003eSo they lowered what is considered the “optimal” keyword density to 1% to 3% (depending on who you talked to- everyone recommended something different).\u003cbr\u003eAs for internal linking- that just wasn’t very important. You could link to stuff on your own site to keep the visitor there longer, but it wasn’t required by any means.\u003cbr\u003eYour website didn’t need to be clean. You could have images all over the place...","brand":"All classic book warehouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146268000496,"sku":"2940014932714","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014932714_p0.jpg?v=1763617659","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014932714","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
