SEO The Sorcerer’s Art

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a mystery to newbies (and not-so newbies too). These FREE videos will help you get off the ground on this subject. Part of the reason for the mysterious nature of SEO is that the seach engine companies don’t like to tell anyone how they’re doing it. And they don’t like to tell anyone when they change how they’re doing it.

Their Computers Read Your Web Pages

The basic idea is that search engines are dumb like computers so software engineeers like those at Yahoo and Google try to figure out what the content of a web page is without actually reading it. What? You thought actual humans were reading all the bazillion web pages on the internet?

Is It Important?

The software "crawls" your web page for clues as to what’s on it. Why is that important? Because the search engines use that information to rank your web page and only the highest ranked pages show up on page 1 when someone does a search.

"O" Yes

SEO tries to "optimize" the information on your web page so search engines will like what they find, and hopefully give it a high rank, and therefore, a page 1 display. The FREE videos will help you understand what the search engines are looking for and how you can make it easier for them to find and rank your web pages.

200 Unique Articles in 14 Seconds ???

Do you really think that you can generate 200 unique articles in 14 seconds from one single article? Well, you can’t. What you can do is futz around with synonyms and phrase inversions using a dictionary and a thesaurus to make it seem that each article is somehow distinctly different from all the rest. But all the articles are essentially the same, meaning that the actual cognitive content is identical.

Who Is the Author?

It isn’t you! I think it is unethical to let a computer program generate article content for you and then claim that you wrote the article with the implication that you are some sort of expert on the topic of the article. I know some internet marketers are not troubled by that, but I feel that it is dishonest. Especially if they are selling you the content and you think they wrote it. They probably didn’t write the original article either. Even if they are giving it away and your only connection with it is reading it, you still got scammed because you were misled about authorship (unless, of course, they tell you that the article was manipulated by a computer program).

WARNING !

I strongly recommend against using any word replacement software based on dictionary and thesaurus substitutions for generate faux uniqueness. Google has this tactic figured out already, and it isn’t worth your reputation to be caught in this particular trap.

We Have Encountered a  S u r r e a l  New World Here

I’ve set some kind of record today, which I hope demonstrates my honesty in a surreal sort of way.

Flying Emails

I wanted to make sure that you would be dealing directly with Sylvie Fortin if you wanted to send her an email so I tested her email link before I gave Internet Marketing Sins my highest recommendation. Made sense to me but it turned out that we had a bit of a heated exchange - she can be very direct if you haven’t noticed yet.

I won’t reproduce our entire email exchange because I am practicing to become a gentleman, and Sylvie Fortin is a nice lady.

Hate Mail?

Part of my email is cited as Hate Mail! Go HERE and scroll down to "Email From E". You’ll find my hate mail there. I’ll leave to you to judge the hateful quality of it.

Fan Mail!

Now here is where it gets surreal. Go HERE and scroll down to "As Seen On eMarketWorks.com". My blog post is cited as Fan Mail! (And my thanks to Sylvie Fortin for the link to emarketworks.com.)

Truth or Truthiness?

How can it be that I’m cited for both Hate Mail and Fan Mail? Maybe that is the price of honesty. You be the judge of that.

The bottom line is that, despite the sometimes crude language, Internet Marketing Sins will give you excellent insights into the internet scammers’ tactics so you won’t be taken in by them.
