One is a new Spanish speaking web site that we launched recently and we wanted to get it to the top of Google for the keyword “metodo silva” and we were able to get to the top of the page within a few weeks.

Last weekend, I started to do a little SEO for my mom’s new real estate web site in Mallorca (yes… once you parents know that you are into technology they just love to ask you for help for everything!) and once again I am starting to see rapid results.  This time I was optimizing my mom’s new web site for the keyword phrases “Langzeitvermietung Mallorca” and “Langzeitmiete Mallorca“

Once again, I noticed that I am getting results a lot faster than I was expecting.  I am starting to think that SEO in foreign languages can be a lot easier.  Ok, I know that the keyword phrases that I listed as examples are not very competitive but I am still surprised given that these sites are brand new and have no established page rank. 

What have your results been with SEO for other languages?

By the way, the two web sites I was referring to are:

* www.MetodoSilvaDeVida.com and
* www.FincasIMas.com

In this interview Rand generously provides great tips and ideas that we have found beneficial. Moreover, they clarify a number of points too, so be sure to check it out.

Well, my first analysis indicates that this might be indeed happen.  Here 5 Knols that were featured on Knol’s home page and they are already ranking on the first page of Google.

Tooth Pain – Google Rank #3
Vomiting in infants and children – Google Rank #3

How to Backpack – Google Rank #4
Toilet Clogs – Google Rank #4
First Ironman Triathlon – Google Rank #7

When are you going to write your first Knol?  I am guessing that the Squidoo affiliate army is going to jump on this in a second and I will be writing my first Knol very shortly and let you know how it goes! 

Headsmacking Tip #3: Run Your Blog Post Titles Through Keyword Research Before You Hit Publish

I have to agree with Rand that this is very important and I was just doing exactly what Rand was writing about.  However, I would also say that one has to be very careful doing so.

The upside, you get your blog post on the first page of Google.  I just did that with four posts in a row!

* AdWords Book #8
* AdWords Help #7
* AdWords Conversion #8
* AdWords Miracle #4

For each of the above results are on the first page of Google since they are highly optimized blog posts.  So, that is great.  However, there is a downside.  The last 4 blog post titles have probably been the most boring titles in a long time.   They are not exciting and won’t grab the readers attention. 

Generally, what I like to do is to write a few blog post focused on our readers and our community and only once in a while write hard core SEO posts.  In this case I have been writing more SEO posts to get into top position for AdWords related words since our launch of www.AdWordsSystemExposed9.com and www.TheComingAdWordsWar.com.

However, you have to be careful and can’t go overboard so I will probably rest for a while and focus on more quality blog posts.  However, in the future you know… if the title is not sexy and attention grabbing… then I am probably writing for SEO. 

StomperNet SEO Course

When I first subscribed to StomperNet’s newsletter (after they were promoted to me by another internet marketer), I immediately started noticing how unique they were but eventually began getting rather ANNOYED.

Okay, so I’ll elaborate.

StomperNet’s presentation is pretty sweet looking and highly polished. I don’t know about you, but their videos are the best I’ve seen in the internet marketing field, which is a nice thing, but along with the huge hype they push continuously to their email list regularly, I began doubting them.

At the time I still hadn’t tried their full, paid material yet, but I was only getting their promotional stuff. I was thinking to myself “man, these guys are annoyingly bombarding me with offers which just seem like hype, hype, and more polished hype.”

They promised a lot, and I had high expectations but big doubts in whether they were going to deliver or not.

Now that I’ve gone through the full material, I’ve got to say it was awesome. It inspires a new perspective of looking at things and fills information gaps. Best of all, the instructions were so effectively laid out, my own grandmother could execute them. It’s pretty good spoonfeeding.

Jeff Johnson’s 25K Seminar

First things first, Jeff Johnson is an excellent speaker and a highly knowledgeable guy.

The material he presented is different from StomperNet’s in the sense that it’s not as generalist but instead very specific. He also comes across as highly technical, and when he starts rolling, it’s an avalanche of cool revelations.

What’s also great, is that the attendees were invitation only experts so the quality of discussions that you watch and hear are superb. Expect nothing polished or flashy in terms of presentation though.

StomperNet Vs Jeff Johnson

For someone still starting out in the SEO game, StomperNet’s material is the obvious choice. You just can’t go wrong with how clearly they deliver their knowledge. On the other hand, Jeff Johnson’s teachings are targeted at people already familiar with SEO’s technicalities, so I wouldn’t pass his material to my grandmother, because she might end up with a headache.

Nevertheless, if you really want to boost your understanding significantly and go down the rabbit hole, I wouldn’t recommend one over the other. Both strongly compliment each other, and both are brilliant, so look out for what these guys have coming out next.

In the coming weeks, I’ll start sharing some of our successfully implemented SEO tactics with you.

Their official site is AiesecMichigan.com

But here is what Google shows:

Take a look at the last link on that page. Yup that’s the site they want to draw traffic to.

SKIP?

Not only is their flash website killing their search engine rankings (How is Google going to index a bunch a flashing colors and animated lines?)

But the one piece of text on their site “SKIP” (as in Skip the Flash Intro) is the only piece of descriptive text revealed by Google.

Guys – Flash Intros are idiotic. This is the web we’re talking about. Not TV. People want info fast. Wasting your visitor’s time for silly little animations (no matter how cool you think they are) is not wise.

If you have a flash intro on your site. Lose it IMMEDIATELY.

Always, always go for text and info over design and animation.
