AZ Internet Marketing and SEO Meetup Teleseminar

Tonight I hosted our June Teleseminar for our Az SEO and Internet Marketing MeetUp Group with a total of 36 members during the call.

Here is a recap of questions and comments during the event:

Ryan – Surprise Az:
If you could pick one philosophy, approach or mentality that was most helpful in empowering you to make money for yourself, instead of other people, what would that be?

Kelly – Phoenix Az:
1) Say I’m trying to think of a name for my web site/product. Where do you recommend we go to see if the name is being used?
2) I heard Go Daddy is not the best place to buy a Domain site do you agree? And If not what’s best?
3) Lastly I heard that once I/ we do get a domain that it’s important to NOT just leave it Stagnant. Best to at least have a park page and get some links to it yet have our own text. Agree?

Jeff Green-Mesa, Az:
Thank you very much for your time Radar, your great, I look forward to learning from you.

Steven Scheeler – Mesa Az:
What is a good bounce rate for Google analytics?

Jeff Green – Mesa Az:
What is organic marketing?

Travis Merrick-Chandler Az:
Hello Roy, I am glad to get in on this. Preach it brother! It has been a while!

Bill – Tempe Az:
What does your good buddy Howie Schwartz do to get on page one of Google so quickly and consistently?

Brian Johnson – Phoenix Az:
With Google’s recent changes/enhancements for LOCAL search, have you seen a drop in your national organic traffic? If so, what’s a good approach for balancing the two (local vs. national) assuming it’s not a local product/service?

Steven Scheeler-Mesa Az:
Any Marketing seo ideas for the New google WAVE coming up?

And the top question asked tonight and who won a free GoGuides directory listing was:

Skylar-Scottsdale, Az:
The question is regarding list building techniques. On a site that is new with little traffic or traffic that is just beginning, do you have some recommendations on how to quickly build an email list? In other words, do you have recommendations on a ways to quickly build an email list while implementing all the SEO basics and social marketing basics that create traffic. I’ll be running a contest or any giving some things away as part of my strategy. Any ideas on things you have done to build a list quickly? Just saw Frank Kerns, triangle of trust. Will try that also.

June’s SEO Training Workshop Sold Out!

The last couple weeks have been very hectic for me and I’m just now catching up after being away from my office.

Two weeks ago I spent the week in Omaha with Netshops, a niche Internet retailer that purchased my RadarBusters network in 2007, discussing the current trends and products in the speed counter measure industry with their staff.

Netshops is listed as 82nd on the Internet Retailer magazine’s top 500 list and in 2007 Inc Magazine named them the nation’s 5th fastest growing retailer in the US.

A large part of Netshops success I feel is due to their focus on niche markets with their various specialty stores that focus on products that are “best of breed” and their staff’s “can do attitude“.

This same level of success has also been mirrored with several of my other client’s websites who have this same focus and attitude;

One client whose specialty is RV and commercial truck accessories.

A client whose niche is specialty accessories for the off road market.

And a client who offers online training in OSHA safety.

One effect of our economies meltdown observed is that companies that have this “Can Do Attitude” are re-evaluating their marketing priorities and are discarding or reducing their print, yellow page and newspaper advertising all of which are difficult to measure ROI (return on investment) and turning their attention toward Internet advertising.

Therefore it was not all that surprising to me that when I returned home to Phoenix to teach my June SEO training workshop last week that my class was sold out!

Students included web developers, the CEO of a lead generation company, other SEO and Internet marketing professionals, the owners of several e-commerce websites, the director of a home/business service company and an individual that specializes in usability issues for the blind.

During my five day SEO workshop the main theme that was echoed by the students that the current state of our economy had opened new and exciting marketing opportunities for each of them as they embraced the power building a niche through competitive and market research, keyword research, Latent Semantic Indexing, how to identify and target your audience, creating the “Fantasy Result”, and the power of social media.

SEO MasterMind – Teleseminar

Every Successful Internet marketer I know participates in at least one MasterMind!

One of my most memorable comments I recall an associate of mine making during one of my first MasterMind calls was that “Internet years are measured in dog years ” and in order to remain competitive in our online marketplace we need to network with other successful marketers.

Personally I found SEO forums as a big time waster in that there was so much information and debate that I would get caught up in the conversation and that it was hard for me to sift through all the information. I also attend numerous Internet Marketing seminars such as PubCon, StomperNet and as I find them very educational and a great opportunity to network, but they are also expensive and require time away from business and family.

In 2004 I joined my first MasterMind group with other successful and like minded Internet marketers where once a week we would call into our conference and discuss our projects, ask our burning questions and coach each other to become more successful.

Last night I launched my first MasterMind with students from my first SEO Training Workshop and in the coming weeks will launch another SEO teleseminar for our Phoenix SEO MeetUp Group in two weeks.

Here for you is the recording of last nights telephone SEO Seminar in its entirety:

SEO Workshop – Day Two

This week I’m having my Search Engine Optimization training workshop in Phoenix, Az. We have a total of five students in this SEO class one being the owner of a SEO firm, a high school teacher, the owner of a sporting goods company, a project manager of a company offering educational programs and a work at home business person.

During our first day we focused on keyword research , latent semantic indexing (LSI), developing content , increasing conversions and the power of social media . During the first part of day two we focused on landing pages and linking strategies.

At this point their SEO training, the students have a basic understanding on how to use the Internet to market their products and/or services so I presented them their first group assignment.

A company recently developed a new product, a “doggie” water bottle for pets. This company recently launched their new website, however they were not getting any traffic and no one knew about their product. Their project, create a plan to increase this companies Internet presence to increase product awareness, enabling the company to sell their “doggie” water bottles.

The following seven minute video recaps their forty-five minute long project on how they mind mapped this project.

My Secret Weapon; SEO Scout

“A quiet technology revolution – one that will radically change the way the Internet works – is likely to catch the world off guard. It involves the “semantic web” – a way of organizing and presenting web content not as documents but items of data that are linked by both meaning and relationship ”
- Tom Lube, Harvard Business Review, February 2009

I first heard about the semantic web in a presentation by Michael Marshall in 2004 at a Search Engine Academy Workshop. I have to admit when I first heard Michael explain the semantic web, latent semantic indexing and how Google’s algorithm was being tuned in for this new type of search I was totally confused. So let me explain it in a way that I understand this all works and hopefully it will make sense to you also.

Google, Yahoo, MSN and all the other major search engines already have an catalog of content indexed on the Internet. This content includes web pages, video, computer files such as Word/Excel documents, PDF’s, flash documents, databases, images and a whole bunch of other stuff.

The only common denominator between all this content are words/phrases that can further be broken down into tags, keywords or words/phrases on a webpage/website.

Search engines scan this content, builds a relationship and then indexing it into their search engines. Therefore when you type in a question, phrase or keyword into the search engine it scans its databases and provides you with a result (SERPS) based upon the content and context.

Ok, so the question I’m sure that you’re asking yourself right now is “How do I know what the proper content/context is for the articles/videos/web pages that I’m publishing so the search engines can find me?”

I often found myself asking this same question until Michael gave me access to a program he developed called Theme Master. This web based program allowed the user to type in their keyword and it would scan the top 100 websites indexed by Google and then create a spread sheet of keywords and keyword phrases in order of importance. The user would then edit an existing piece of content that they already had online or create a new piece of content and upload it to the net.

As a member of the Search Engine Academy and an associate of Michael we kept this program a closely guarded secret the first year. This gave me ample time to revise content that I already had online and to create new content to slaughter my competition.

Six months after using Theme Master eight of my websites were ranked on the first page of Goggle for the keyword phrase “Radar Detectors.”

Word eventually leaked about Mike’s program but I had such a lead no one could touch me and I continued using this program on my Internet properties until I sold the network.

After the sale I continued using Theme Master on several of my client’s properties with the same success. However a short time later Michael sold Theme Master to another outfit and his commitment to the product ended. The new owners were only concerned with one thing, making money and their loyalty to our Internet marketing community sucked! It was so bad that users started jumping ship and the new owners were forced to flip the switch and turn it off.

After this several smart SEO professionals figured out how to do Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) by hand and they taught this skill to others in seminars that often cost over $2000.00. The process was laborious and took hours, but the results were equivalent to Theme Master.

At the same time other Internet Marketers were beating on Mike’s door, calling him, emailing him, and pleading with him to come up with an alternative program. However Michael’s hands were tied, there was a no compete clause in the sales contract for Theme Master.

Well good news Guys and Gals the no compete clause has ended and Michael has just released his new LSI program, SEO Scout .

As an insider to Michael and the Academy I had my first look at SEO Scout several weeks ago and I was blown away! This program did everything that Theme Master did but 100 times faster and better!

I’ve been biting my tongue for the last three weeks wanting to tell everyone in our community the power of this program and now I can. Sit down, relax and watch this seven minute video, I’m sure that your going to be blown away not only about the program, but that you can also get and use it for FREE!!

And this is just a sneak preview!

You may or may not be asking why I’m sharing this life-changing information for free.

Here’s what it’s all about:

I’m “Radar” Roy, a retired cop and Certified Search Engine Optimization Expert. I got my start back in 2001 with the Search Engine Academy run by Robin Nobles and John Alexander.

I sought out the Search Engine Academy because a less than reputable “SEO Agency” that I’d hired got me banned from Google.

I was “slapped” with the Google ban because while I was forking over my hard earned money to these guys, they were promoting my site using SPAM and other “shady” techniques without telling me so.

After that, I’d had enough.

At that time I knew zero about SEO or Internet Marketing and I had all these self proclaimed Internet experts and Gurus emailing or calling me, promising quick easy fixes.

Don’t these “black hat” firms pushing their “Get Quick Rich” schemes remind you of the Wall Street criminals that destroyed our economy?

Me too.

And I felt ashamed because I’m a retired cop, I should have known better.

I fell for one of their repackaged offers that seemed to good to be true but… more importantly… I went from making a few thousand a month to zero!

But then I made the most important decision in my Online Marketing career; I took a one week SEO Training Workshop from Robin Nobles and John Alexander at the Search Engine Academy and learned how to build and manage a successful and sustainable online business from scratch.

Days after I took the SEO workshop I cleaned up my website, designed a few new ones and began implementing the basic SEO foundations I learned. Two weeks later Google removed their ban and I was listed number seven on the first page for my most coveted keyword term and the customers returned. I then began using a few of the more the SEO Workshop’s advanced material and in four months my rankings rocketed to the number one position in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

My yearly net profit went to over two hundred thousand dollars a year!

Then out of the blue in 2007, a competitor in my niche, NetShops Inc., called me offering to acquire my entire Internet Empire for seven figures plus and to become a consultant for them !

As soon as the ink dried on the sales contract the deal became public. Unexpectedly, my phone began ringing off the hook. Thirty online business owners called me that one day , pleading with me to take them on as a client and take over their Search Engine and Internet Marketing campaigns. Heck – I just sold my business, I didn’t want a job!

But I did take four client’s projects one being a nonprofit agency along with two others in the construction industry and began teaching and working with each individually to teaching them my strategies on how to be successful in a short period of time.

That I learned from them is that I have the passion and skill to teach others and this ability enabling others to also be successful was the most rewarding thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.

Therefore I’ve become an associate of the Search Engine Academy.

If you are launching or running a home based business, a local business, the CEO or employee of a company, or a professional online marketer, then you will benefit from my training and coaching and learn how to create and run an effective online marketing campaign.

I invite you to follow along and watch the video at the top of this page, just to the right, above my “Free SEO Tips of the Day” Newsletter. That way, you can see what just a handful of my clients are saying about what I’ve done for them.

If you’d like to get these kinds of results for your online business, then keep reading, because I have some very important information to share with you.

The Proof: Here’s how I can make good on every promise I’ve made to you so far.

First, below the video testimonials at the top of this page, you’ll see I’ve provided a daily newsletter, free of charge, that I will personally send to your inbox. In this newsletter, you’ll find my own SEO submission and promotion research that you can utilize on your website… right now… to increase traffic and conversions.

(And if you’re worried about spam… don’t sweat it. Back in 2001, when I first got my start marketing on the internet, my website was mercilessly thrown out of the search engine categories because an SEO agency used “spammy” tactics on my website and I was “slapped” with the Google ban.

Nobody online hates spam as much as I do. And you have my word, I’ll never share your contact information with anyone.)

Second, if you type in “Radar Roy” into Google, you’ll see thousands of listing including articles, interviews with newspapers, magazines, TV programs and radio reports and other research material posted on blogs, review sites, YouTube and other social media properties. Each day, my name (“Radar Roy”) is typed into the Search Engines by “Raving Fans”. It is the most used term in Google for people searching for information on radar detectors.

Why is that important? Because I got my start selling radar detectors and sold that website two years ago! And if you type in “Radar Detectors” right now in Google, you’ll see that website come up, on a bad day, at number two in the listings!

Here’s even more proof:

Here are some of the clients I’m currently mentoring, in very different markets, and the results I’ve been able to deliver for them.

If you were to type “tire pressure monitor” into Google, see tirepressuremonitor.com in the #1 position?

How about “faux rock”? How is fauxrock.com doing?

My friend Tom Wilkerson runs a business certifying forklift operators to keep OSHA off the manufacturers backs.

Try searching for “fork lift certification” and see if you can’t find certifyme.net immediately?

One more example. Wickenburghomes.com has been able to dominate “wickenburg real estate” since I’ve trained them. Try Googling “wickenburg real estate”.

Enough.

You get the point.

Here’s what to do now:

If you haven’t already, be sure you sign up for my free SEO Tip of the Day.

And If you’d really like to get things rolling, make sure you enroll in one of my live training seminars listed at the top of this page under “Search Engine Workshops“.

I look forward to helping you grow your business beyond what you thought was possible!

-”Radar” Roy Reyer

P.S. Before I go… I just wanted to say, as you read through this website and imagine at time say, six months from now… when you’ve used all of the powerful tools I have to share with you to really grow your business and get the sort of results that you truly desire… I’m not sure if you could find yourself looking back on this moment as having been the start of it.

But I’m very excited to be sharing all of these discoveries with you.

It has become a passion of mine to help my clients live the lives they truly dream about… using practical technology that I’ve seen change so many lives already.

Thanks again.
