I have spent the last six months studying and testing the impact of these SEO changes and what it means to you and your business. The simple truth is what worked last year will not work anymore. People are used to dominate search engines using so-called “Black Hat Tactics” will no longer be in the game.

There are no more shortcuts. You can’t simply fill out by a bunch of cheap links, junk content and spam the search engines and have any hope of being successful online.

Google will no longer tolerate junk websites at the top. They want quality sites to rank for the respective keywords and those who try to find shortcuts might as well give up and go back to their day job.

So what are the new rules of search engine marketing?

What does it take to get your website to the top of the search rankings and bring in more natural search traffic?

Content alone is no longer king!

Content and visitor experience is now the name of the game.

Link building is still one of the most important components of the search marketing strategy but now the new rules are also looking at how people interact with your website, how long they stay on your website, where they come from and how they interact with you from social media.

Yes, Google is paying attention to whether you have a presence on Facebook, Twitter and other socially interactive websites. Links to and from and traffic to and from social sites will improve your search rankings and traffic.

Now even though link building is still vitally important, the quality links and where they come from and the quality of the content is now more important than ever. If you think you can still buy five dollar articles and spin them into hundreds of versions and get rankings or traffic you’re going to be disappointed.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Do some research reading respected SEO websites. The top online marketing experts who have done the same research and testing have come to the same conclusions.

This is actually very good news because it means we no longer have to compete with over half of the lazy Internet marketers out there. We no longer have to compete with all of the junk being produced in high-volume. People who are serious about making money online can rank higher and faster and get more traffic.

Before the Panda Google changes our clients who were using Total Content Domination had great success in getting top search rankings even with competing against the spammers.

Guess what? Total Content Domination is working even better now post Panda.

Why?

We have always been doing what Google wants.  Total Content Domination combines link building from article submission, web 2.0, social bookmarking and social media like Facebook and Twitter to create an online marketing strategy that is exactly what works today.

• Google wants to see websites that have links from high quality niche blogs across the Internet!
• They want to reward websites that are popular and social media.
• Google is looking for high quality links from a wide diversity of websites such as web 2.0 sites, article directories, social bookmarking sites, and more.

You will not find any software or automated service that can do this effectively in a way that will get results unless that service as real people creating and managing the marketing strategy for your website. Automated services were you plug in your URL and software does the work will not work and won’t make anyone money except the owners of the software.

Only Total Content Domination automates your search marketing with real people doing the work manually behind the scenes.

Entrepreneurs and online business owners are taking advantage of this craze by creating their own smart phone mobile apps to grow their businesses.

Tens of thousands of searches are done every single month looking for smart phone apps. The opportunity is exciting.

It is therefore not surprising that Michael Glaspie (Mike G) came to me a few months promote the ICANetwork theicanetworkapps.com. This site allows anyone to have their very own custom smart phone app in minutes.

ICANetwork is now on page 1 of Google for top search phrases driving targeted quality traffic to their website.

Thanks to Total Content Domination the ICANetwork is #1 on Google for “custom phone apps” beating out 258,000,000 other competing websites! That is 258 MILLION websites are behind ICANetwork in the rankings.

They are also beating out beating out nearly 170,000,000 competing website for 8 additional target keyword phrases.

Any online marketing service or system can give you “unsubstantiated” glowing testimonials. The problem is you have no idea whether they are really getting results for their clients or not.

At Total Content Domination we are constantly showing you real results from real clients.

We use only white hat aboveboard online marketing and link building strategies. We work with the search engines to provide them what they’re looking for instead of trying to trick them like many other link building services. That is why our clients don’t have to worry about the latest search engine algorithm changes that Google makes.

We can get you to the top, increase traffic to your website and help you stay there.

There is certainly no question that article marketing is still one of the most effective ways to promote your website. But there are really no secrets to article marketing success that you need to pay for in the latest gurus’ e-book or course.

After providing article marketing services to nearly 8000 clients worldwide I have learned there are a few components of a successful campaign that almost always improve results. If you implement these factors into your article marketing you can’t help but improve your search rankings and get more traffic.

While these secrets or tips may seem overly simplistic based on all of the rhetoric and hype within the Internet marketing community you can be sure they will work.

Article Marketing Secret 1 – Quality Content Vs High Volume

The single most important thing you can do to improve the results of your article marketing is to focus on quality and not quantity. There are all kinds of article marketing services and e-books on the market that try to persuade you to buy their product by promising more submissions and more back links.

There are also numerous software applications that can take your article and turn into 1000 different versions with the click of a mouse using various spinning technologies.

Those types of strategies do nothing but make money for the vendors who are selling their services and e-books. They use hype and big promises to sell their stuff. The truth is if you want higher search rankings and more traffic from your articles you will do better writing one high-quality interesting article than you will 1000 articles that are unreadable, boring and just plain junk. This is without exaggeration.

This was true before the recent algorithm changes made by Google and even more so in the post Panda era. Spend some time doing research and reading some legitimate SEO blogs and websites and you’ll find that professional online marketing experts all agree – quality over quantity.

But now there seems to be another reason to write great articles and high-quality content. It is believed that Google is developing the ability to decide whether your article is of such a quality to deserve getting ranked and read by web search surfers.

Article Marketing Secret 2 – Strategic Keyword Targeting & Implementation

One of the biggest mistakes people make when creating an article marketing and link building campaign is they do not do careful keyword research to determine the best target keywords for their niche.

They choose something that is too competitive or they don’t do any research at all and simply choose target keyword phrases that they think people might be searching on.

If you want traffic to your site based on your keyword ranking and article saturation you’ve got to rank for the phrases that real people are actually searching on. Otherwise you’re wasting your time.

When you have chosen appropriate target keywords it is of vital importance that those keywords be included in the title of the article, naturally throughout the article and within the anchor text of any back links.

There isn’t much need to worry about keyword density – just make it read well.

Article Marketing Secret 3 – Consistency

The search engines want to reward those online marketers who are consistently producing high-quality content that is fresh, interesting and provides invaluable information to the reader. This keeps the search engine spiders on their toes and indexing the pages of your website and your back links more often.

If you’re going to publish 10 articles in a given month it is better to evenly distribute those out over the month as opposed to blasting them all out at once. If you truly want to have success with your article marketing you need to make a long-term commitment to publishing articles month after month, year after year.

Article Marketing Secret 4 – Interesting Titles & Content

I used to say that if you want traffic and conversions from your articles then you’ve got to make your article titles interesting and provide quality content that delivers what you promise. Remember, in addition to simply providing back links your articles are going to rank on their own within the search engines. If someone searches on your keyword phrase then your article title is what is going to persuade them to read your article or not.

Many marketers will spend hours agonizing over a headline within their sales copy and not bother to spend 5 minutes on creating an article title that is compelling and demands to be read. Every article you put out there has the opportunity to deliver hundreds of new visitors to your website every single month from now until eternity.

If you consistently implement the above article marketing secrets you are bound to join the top 3 to 5% of article marketers who dominate their niches. You will get better rankings, develop more high-quality natural traffic to your website and make more money online.

Except for this… When new marketers are being educated by all the junk that is being sold and then come to me because they’re tired of throwing away money for worthless PDF files their expectations of what is supposed to happen are all screwed up.

My article marketing service (Total Content Domination) doesn’t promise to submit 14,000 spun articles for you in the next seven days. I don’t promise to deliver 1000 back links a month and I sure as heck don’t promise an avalanche of traffic guaranteed to make you rich tomorrow or even next month.

If you want that stuff you might as well go elsewhere and come back when you have tried that and it didn’t work. My clients are serious marketers who make serious money online.

What I find amusing is that when someone comes to me for legitimate article marketing and link building services after having been ripped off by 10 different overhyped junk programs they still want me to do the same stuff that they were promised by these liars which did not work.

Guess what.

Every single one of my clients that has ever been serious about getting high search engine rankings has succeeded.

Every single one!!

Obviously, it takes longer with some clients due to the competitiveness of their niche or the smallness of their budget. I can’t tell you how many new marketers I see who say they want a successful online business and start hot with link building and article marketing only to stop within about 2 to 3 months because they have determined “that article marketing simply doesn’t work.” Anyway, that’s a discussion for another day.

Here’s the thing. You may have heard about the big panda update that Google did earlier this year.

Thousands of Internet marketers had their search rankings wiped out.

They were done. Finished. Now they’re all scrambling to find new ways to scam the search engines (which by the way will only work for a little while) or their preaching what I’ve been faithful to all along and that is doing low-volume high-quality content that provides value to the web search surfer.

That, my friends, is what works. It has always worked and it will always work .

Well guess what?

My client’s search rankings were not impacted by the panda updates to Google’s search algorithms.

Did you hear that.

My client’s search rankings were not impacted by the panda updates. In fact, many moved up in the ranks and started getting more traffic.

We have always focused on quality content and quality link building practices. We have always focused on providing a content experience that provides value to the web searcher.

When you do that you will never ever have to worry again about Google changing something about how they evaluate websites.

There are a few new things that are in the mix now that need to be considered when planning an online marketing and link building campaign.

Link building is still one of the primary and most effective strategies for ranking your website but the web is becoming increasingly social and Google knows this.

The web is no longer a place where people only go to research information. The Internet is a place where people go to connect and interact with people and with content.

The most successful content marketing campaigns are those that interweave article marketing, video, social media and other interactive components.

Google is getting better at monitoring and knowing whether these things are happening within the culture of the web experience at your site or from the network of your website and social media profiles.

In addition, Google is tracking how long people stay at your site, what they do while they are there and where they go.

You see they’re not just letting the search engine spiders determine how valuable your website is based on back-links – they are letting your actual visitors give their vote by monitoring their behavior.

Now Google is just starting to reward websites based on that information. And you can be sure they’re going to get even more sophisticated at tracking this kind of information.

The new way Google is evaluating websites and their overall value is exactly why my article marketing service called Total Content Domination was and is ahead of its time.

Total Content Domination is not just an article marketing service.

Total Content Domination integrates article marketing, link building, blogging, social media, video marketing, press release distribution and more to create a total content marketing campaign that is perfectly suited for the Panda era and beyond.

The search engines are making changes all the time. Most of the changes are not very noticeable. The recent changes were pretty big changes to how websites are ranked and the impact has been fairly noticeable across the industry.

I’m happy to say that our clients have not seen much change in their search engine rankings. The reason is because we’ve been focused on quality from the beginning.

Let me explain what these changes mean and why it doesn’t really concern me in the least.

The search algorithm changes made by Google have one purpose and one purpose alone and that is to filter out the junk.

Essentially, they have made links from junk article directories and other websites worthless for increasing your rankings.

Frankly, I’m not surprised.

Nearly 2 years ago I said in a number of articles that generalized article directories were going to be the new link farms. Years ago, the big craze in link building was to create linking pages or link directories simply for the purpose of creating links .These pages had nothing but links on them and people would trade links.

They would e-mail you and say hey “I’ll create a link for you if you create one for me.” Google quickly caught on to this and in fact this practice is now against their terms of service.

Participating in link trading schemes or link farms will quickly get you banned from search engines.

Over a year ago I forecasted that links from most article directories would soon become junk and worthless links as well.

The reason being because they were not being used to provide valuable content to the web surfer but simply for creating back links. What made the problem worse is so much of the bad and spun content being produced.

You have all these websites out there trying to sell back linking services and article marketing services and they don’t have anything good to say to sell their program except for promising big volume for cheap.

Getting hundreds of articles or thousands of back links for cheap might make you feel like you’re doing something to market your business but it’s a waste of time. Those articles are interested out there and not provide any value in terms of helping your search engine rankings or creating traffic.

They say stuff like “We will submit your articles to thousands of websites and generate you tens of thousands of back links each month for only $47.”

Frankly, that type of online marketing has never been that effective but in the past it has helped people generate decent search engine rankings.

Those days are over.

If you’re out there spinning articles, creating junk content and then blasting it out thousands of websites that are unrelated to your niche, poor quality or that have been created simply for the purpose of link building you are now going to lose.

Not only will your content be a waste of time because it will not generate traffic but the links are not going to help your rankings either.

Recently a client asked me why there is such a huge drop in the number of sites that we were submitting their articles to through Total Content Domination.

The answer is simple. We have responded to the Google changes and made an effort to filter out sites that were deemed to be poor quality. We have removed from our submission system websites that we have deemed to be poor quality and not valuable in building your business.

We have always focused on only submitting to high-quality related websites but recent changes have been even more aggressive in light of these changes.

I’ve been saying it for years and I’m going to say it again.

Getting great search engine rankings and getting traffic from your content has very little to do with the quantity of your back links.

One high-quality back link from a site or from content that is related to your niche and that has a decent page rank is more valuable than 5000 cheap back links from junk article directories and blog networks that are being created for no other purpose than building back links.

If you’re participating in link building programs like that do so at your own risk.

There has never been and there still is no shortcut.

Focus on quality articles that provides valuable information and submit to high-quality web 2.0 sites, blogs and higher quality article directories that have editorial standards. A dash of facebook marketing and other social medi can’t hurt either.

If you do these things and you do them consistently month after month your search rankings will improve and your natural search traffic will consistently increase as well.

To quote Sonia Simone of Copyblogger.com

“The world is not waiting breathlessly to hear what you have to say about losing weight with acai berries, making big money as an affiliate marketer, or how to join your Secrets of the Breakthrough Millionaire Insider Guru Mastermind Platinum Club.

Me too content gets ignored. Scrapped and remixed junk won’t cut it. There’s too much good content that you need to compete with. And there’s no magic system that can replace sitting front of your keyboard and producing something that somebody wants to read. (Or partnering with someone who can. – [like Total Content Domination – I added that part. J ]) “

I could not have said it better myself.

I can tell you another hard truth as well.

You cannot come online, build a website and start sending out content and building back links for 30 days or even 60 and then stop and think that you can build successful business or website.

The search engines reward those who are in this for the long term and who are committed to providing quality content consistently month after month year after year. There is no shortcut and if you cannot continue your content creation and link building consistently long-term then you’re not going to make it.

Keep doing the right things and you’ll be rewarded. Sadly, most quit way too soon. They expect fast results and when they don’t get that they throw up their arms and say this doesn’t work.

Do your research. Don’t take my word for it. Content and link building is the best way to build a consistent stream of quality traffic that will serve you long-term and will grow like a snowball rolling downhill.

And when you have quality traffic that is produced from good content you don’t need a huge amount of traffic to make good money online.

This is absolutely true  - you can have a six-figure business online with 100 targeted high-quality visitors per day. On the other hand, you can have 5000 visitors a day from junk cheap traffic sources and never make a sale or delete. Obviously, there are many factors that come into play when most of which had to do with your website, lead generation device and sales copy but my point is quality content generates quality traffic that is much more valuable than the other option. In fact it is the only thing that works.

Sincerely,

Dustin Cannon

There are many different tools to use to help post your pictures and videos. You can use the most popular one which is Twitpic. There are others out there as well like TweetPhoto and yfrog. There are some that only allow you to share you pictures and you would have to use another site to add videos. If you choose to go with yfrog then you can use one application to do both jobs. There are also other files you can share like sound files through different applications. You can add quality and more eye catching tweets by utilizing these tools.

When you want to share you pictures or videos you first need to log into one of the sites with your Twitter information and upload your photos or videos. The site will then give you different things you can do with the information. You can put on tags or captions and some will even put your location. Then you will get a shortened URL link to the information so you can keep it within the 140 characters of your Twitter tweets. Then you will post it on your Twitter page for others to see.

This can help you get more followers by adding special content and attraction to your Twitter page. Increasing your followers can increase the exposure your brand gets and help your business grow. There are so many benefits to adding things like photos and videos to your Twitter page instead of just the usual posts. Add excitement to your tweets and see how fast your followers grow.

You can interact with your followers by responding or replying directly to them. This will also show you on their wall. This will help the ones who are their followers know you are out there and they may come follow you too. This is one of the best ways to raise your number of followers on Twitter. This gets your name out there so others know who you are and what you are about. This can help raise your business profits as well. The more you know the more your name will reach to others you don’t know.

After you have been promoting your site on Twitter you can reach to outsources to help link them back to your Twitter page. You can find free badges to place on your blog or website and they will be able to click that link to follow you. This will also help build your following, thus getting you more potential customers and readers. Using these sites are very simple and easy to add to any web page. Adding a Twitter badge is a great way to promote your site.
