It's now just over an hour since I posted the article about Traffic Geyser, and I've set SEO Elite off to do it's thing again. Where do we stand on the natural search rankings now? Well we are moving up for all sorts of keyphrases on a variety of search engines. Now I know that I have a weird sense of humour, but it for some strange reason it causes me great amusement to discover that we are currently ranked 17 on AltaVista for "blogger gurus" (without the quotes) and 21 on AllTheWeb for "adsense gurus" (again without the quotes). This is hugely entertaining, but is not really very likely to put bread on the table.
I have a feeling that it will be ultimately more relevant that my recent post is now ranked by Google at 16 out of 796 on a search for traffic geyser michael koenigs. Interestingly this is a few places ahead of Joel Comm's own YouTube review of Traffic Geyser. We are also in position 101 out of 238,000 for just traffic geyser. To round things off we have also inched up to 104 at Google on a search for Secret Classroom.
On the traffic front Google Analytics reports that we got a few clicks on the natural search results yesterday, a lot of which were undoubtedly just us testing things. We also got 13 referrals from the Warrior Forum. A tiny trickle of traffic is a whole lot better /component/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,99999999/extmode,flyer/date,2060-10-01/">who makes cialis than nothing at all!
To the best of my knowledge total sales still stand at $0.

Earlier today I received an email which included a link to some early Xmas gifts from Joel Comm. One in particular caught my eye. Only $1 for a 14 day trial subscription to Traffic Geyser which is the latest brainchild of Michael Koenigs, one of the experts featured in the Secret Classroom.
It sounds like the answer to our prayers. Loads of traffic and a front page Google listing "in a matter of hours". Now I know that I'm biased, but personally I don't think we're doing too badly in terms of getting on the front page of Google. We are certainly lacking traffic just at the moment though. Apparently the Traffic Geyser service makes it really easy to create videos then upload them to a series of Web 2.0 sites. It's the latest thing in traffic generation. Lots of people get to see your video, which generates huge quantities of traffic and you zoom up the Google natural search rankings in no time.
It sounds like just what we need and we're desperate to try it out but there is one small problem. We still haven't made a sale. We are determined not to put any money /component/page,shop.recommend/product_id,59/pop,1/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,1/vmcchk,1/">safe cialis down, not even one measly dollar, until we can do so out of profits generated from this business

We've now got SEO Elite configured to check what progress we have made in the Google natural search results for a variety of keyphrases. Yesterday we just wanted to know if we'd been indexed, which happened very quickly. Today we want to know where we stand for keyphrases that people might actually type into their Google toolbars when trying to find out more about the Secret Classroom course.
Things /component/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,28/extmode,cal/date,2107-07-01/">brand cialis cheap order can change very quickly this early in a campaign, but at the moment on a search for "Joel Comm Secret Classroom" (without the quotes) Google ranks us at number 29 out of 9,930. A search for "Secret Classroom" (again without the quotes) puts us at 108 out of 798,000. Total sales (that I am currently aware of) stand at $0!

It is less than an hour since I clicked the "Publish" button for my post about the Secret Classroom. We are already at number 7 in Google US for the query "joel comm" "secret classroom" "next internet /component/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,99999999/extmode,cal/date,2060-09-01/">ordering cialis millionaire" "mark joyner" simpleology. Now it is very unlikely that anyone will actually type all that into their Google search box. It does however illustrate how quickly it is possible to get into the Google natural search results these days.

You're probably wondering how we justify the somewhat pretentious title, so I'll try to explain. I first started selling stuff online before the World Wide Web existed. When everyone started getting very excited during the dot com boom of the late nineties I built a one page website and vowed not to waste any more time on the new media until I got my first genuine lead from that site.
The site was listed in a few directories. We got lots of emails from people trying to sell us stuff, but none from anyone considering buying. Then in 2003 the first real lead arrived in my inbox. It wasn't from a potential user, but from an intermediary scouring /component/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,28/extmode,cal/date,2107-05-01/">cialis pill cutter the web for what their customer was interested in (customised software for routing fleets of trucks). Not ideal by any means, but it did at least count as a real lead so I started taking a interest in internet marketing.
Up to now I've only used pay per click, but a series of events which will be related in future posts have led to this current experiment with natural search. Is it possible in this day and age to produce a decent income from internet marketing without spending half your revenue on acquiring clicks, not to mention a large (albeit virtual) pile of ebooks?
