It’s amazing in the online marketing world that it seems to me that what is old appears to be new again.
What I’m referring to is the resurgence in interest in things like Search Engine Optimization, and other forms of content marketing such as article marketing.
Now, just to clarify, Search Engine Optimization, or SEO is the art and science of ranking your websites and pages in search engines for particular keyword phrases.
Particularly with the numerous “Slaps” that have gone on throughout the online marketing world in the online world, everyone is searching for the “next G…”.
In fact, a fairly well known online marketer what I had always believed to be a “paid marketing” guy, Ryan Deiss, just is releasing this week in fact a product on search engine optimization.
There have been courses on, just to name a few in the last year:
- Yahoo marketing (Screw G.)
- Facebook PPC
- Gmail marketing (we wouldn’t dare call it marketing on the content network)
- Pay Per View Marketing
However, an old standby that I mentioned earlier Search Engine Optimization has really come back to the forefront as an alternative way to “get in front” of your targeted customers from search engines.
In my own SEO journey, particularly in the network marketing industry, I’ve discovered a couple things to be true:
- SEO isn’t hard or complicated
- People, even in our own industry, will tell you certain keywords are “too hard”. I even read an excerpt that said this very thing in a very well known online industry publication.
- Alot of the information out there is fear based (i.e. you will end up in the “sandbox”, “they” will penalize you for this, you “can’t” build links too fast)
- You can end up really going down a rabbit hole paying attention to TOO many details.
- SEO does take some time, but not as much as you think it might.
In any case, where to start with SEO?
Well, my advice is to start with getting in front of your most targeted prospects for your own company…..those that are actively searching for information regarding your own opportunituy in search engines.
I always like to think of search engines as what the yellow pages and the encyclopedia used to be…to find information and do research on problems or questions.
With that said, one of the best ways to do this is to “be found” on page one, or better yet, close to the top of search engines for keyword phrases relating to your company name.
What is the best way to start with this?
Before you start creating content, before you start on-page optimization…before you start building links….
A “good” domain name…..one that contains your company name in the root URL, the closer to the beginning of the site name, the better.
For example:
If you were in Amway (as an example, everyone knows Amway)
Get a domain name like this:
- AmwayReviews.com
- AmwayWorks.com
- AmwayTopTeam.com
Now, some companies might complicate things, by not allowing you to use their name on your website….check with your company before you begin this.
Now, these days some of the better keyword names might be taken, so you can use this handy reference to use for “stop words” http://www.seowhitehats.com/2009/03/10/search-engine-stopwords.html
Why should you start with a good domain name?
Well, I’m an ex-Army grunt so I can best put it in terms of military terminology, it sets the conditions for success best for your website.
Think of search engines as a computer program (which it is).
One of the first things the search engine bots who research your site will read is your URL name.
Why not give your site the best chance possible, and from the beginning, and get yourself in front of the MOST targeted prospects for your opportunity with internet network marketing.

I like your blog and the article about SEO is good. I am involved with Ryan Deiss’s Perpetual Traffic Formula. I have also studied, although very little, Ray and Ferny’s stuff.
Everyone seems to contradict each other it tends to be confusing at times. I found what you wrote to be helpful.
Thanks

Hi Kurt great article about Internet Network Marketing. I noticed that people are starting to go back to the basics. I think its because people are getting educated quicker because of blogs like yours that help people further understand network marketing.
Thanks for sharing,

The beauty of using a Wordpress blog (beside the fact that it’s free software!) is that SEO is simple and almost automatic. I’ve spent countless hours studying and learning SEO. When I really started to discover the power of Wordpress plugins like “All-in-One-SEO” (also free!) I decided to convert all my clients traditional websites to Wordpress blogs.
Blogging is easy to learn, free, and Google loves it…as long as you keep adding new, fresh, original content.
Absolutely true there John,
Although I would hardly say SEO is automatic. There is still a lot of work to do building links and authority for your site. But wordpress absolutely makes it easier.
