You read that right. I’ve told Google to push off. Stop spidering me. I no longer want my online business to depend on its ever changing whims as to what makes a good or bad ranking.
I don’t want to spend time collecting thousands of backward links then find that they are probably worthless because the anchor text does not contain a suitable keyword, or the site does not have sufficient page rank, or whatever the latest algorithm is.
I don’t want to buy expensive cloaking tools and run the risk of penalization.
I don’t want to be bothered about whether a domain has a static or dynamic IP address or have to use different hosts to make a network of minisites.
What’s that you say ? You don’t need fancy tricks - just provide good relevant content. My answer? Nonsense…
I have a huge content site devoted solely to ClickBank, the only one of its kind. If you wanted to find the most relevant content for a search on the keyword ‘ClickBank’ don’t you think that would be at the top ?
Well Google used to agree with you. It was ranked number 2, with only ClickBank.com itself at number one.
Today it is ranked … wait for it … number 426.
It is beaten out of sight by sites which have nothing to do with ClickBank but happen to mention that keyword once.
I asked a search engine expert about this and he suggested that it was due to keyword density, in other words too many mentions of the word ClickBank.
Well that has to be the case - the site is after all a ‘Complete Guide to ClickBank’
His advice - try replacing the word ClickBank occasionally e.g. use ‘CB’.
No way.
That was the last straw and became the inspiration for me to develop a revolutionary approach to getting traffic.
It led to me being called ‘The Guru who said goodbye to Google’ in the marketing forums.
And this new approach ?
It uses some of the fundamental pillars of Internet marketing that you already know - techniques which will never become obsolete.
But they are combined together in a new way and with a viral twist that you won’t have seen before.
It includes giving out free information in a certain way and I show you how exactly in my book, The Ultimate SuperTip.
And just to illustrate the principle: the book is free and you can reprint this article and change the URL to point to your own rebranded version!

Best,
p.s. If you’ve ever heard Harvey Segal use the quote “The greatest viral marketing idea of all time” when referring to The Ultimate Supertip… that quote came from me

Well all I can say is that giving up because of frustration is never the best solution! When ever something frustrates me I get curious and usually that leads me to either the solution to the problem, or an even better breakthrough.

Interesting, but, it reads almost exactly as 20/20 challenge. Don’t you agree?

I really didnt get that from it at all, Alex. Now I’ll have to go back and read both side by side to see what you’re referring to… Hmm.

I had a couple runs ins with google earlier this year on really fantastic content based websites so I’m soured on them, too.
I run my business much differently and do not rely on, nor do I put an emphasis on google anymore.
I’ve really found the true value of a mailing list this year and put more of my efforts into growing my mailing list and creating a website so good that the word of mouth spreads like mad.
I do love the search engines of course, but I kissed google goodbye … as far as relying on it.
I’ll have to check out this resource, Lynn.

Do check it out, Nell - this one has worked just as Harvey says, and I’ve been VERY impressed with it both as a product and as a concept. I can easily see you doing something similar in your niche!

Lynn, this was an eye-opener. Thanks! Bart

I would probably be frustrated too!

Nice post Lynn.
You wrote, “If you’ve ever heard Harvey Segal use the quote “The greatest viral marketing idea of all time” when referring to The Ultimate Supertip… that quote came from me..”
I did not know you are Harvey fan
No doubt this guy rocks. I will go take a look at his ideas and hopefully let you know what I learn.

Yes, I have been a Harvel Segal fan for quite a few years now - and this one strategy/guide really impressed me above all the others he offers. I think he came out with it 2-3 years ago… and it is still sending money into my paypal account every month!
The making-you-richer review // Oct 10, 2007 at 4:00 am
Okay, I remember now I saw perhaps on his clickbank forum site.
Opps! Can’t remember if I use the ideas or forgot to look over it. How bad that sometimes you forget important stuff at the edge of business.
Now I know what to do…
