I’m sure that you, like me, have been around the Internet for quite some time now. You’ve probably tried all the gimics promoted by the “gurus”, and found that the only people making money was the gurus who were selling the information!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve spent way too much money on gimics and training/mentoring over the years, yet I still need to keep my day job to pay the bills!
Well, this time, I’m doing things properly! I’m working to build my rankings organically without spending any money. There are no Google AdWord campaigns promoting my sites - in fact there are no pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns at all! You may have even picked up my EZ-Recommender product via a giveaway event of some description, but none of them cost me a single penny to join!
So how am I doing?
Well, it’s a slower way to build things, but I’m making progress. I have a Google PageRank of 1 on this, my main blog and am starting to see regular traffic to both this site and my EZ-Recommender promotion site:
(EZ-Recommender Promotion) .
Now, there are lots of things that you can do yourself in order to build traffic and ranking. The most basic though, is to start measuring your traffic! A business mentor of mine used to always tell me “you can’t manage what you can’t measure” and he was right! If you don’t already have some sort of traffic analysis software, I would strongly recommend that you look at Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/). It costs nothing to join and enables you to accurately measure what traffic is visiting your site, and where it came from. Once you have this information, you can really start optimizing your site to improve your stats and ultimately, to make more money!
Anyway, I hope you’ve found this article useful - I sent it out to my mailing list last week and I’m planning to try to send out something along similar lines roughly once a month, so I’d urge you to stay tuned - just in case I come up with a real gem! 
In the meantime, if you want to learn more about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), then I can highly recommend “The SEO Mindset” by Brad Callen, which you can get to directly through this link:

Finally, if you have any questions or topics that you’d like me to cover in future, please use the comments for this topic and I’ll endeavour to answer all questions in my next bulletin.
To your success!

Hi Pandi,
From my experience, you can’t compete with the BIG money until you’re already making money - thus feeding your advertising pot. My suggestions in this article are aimed at people starting out who are trying to get to the point of making a regular income online. In addition, I truly believe that this sort of organic SEO work will pay off in the long-run, when in addition to having money for advertising, you ALSO have the organic ranking!
I’m in the process of putting together a suite of products that will help people to accelerate their learning when starting out online. If you (or anyone else reading this) would be interested in finding out more about it, please contact me using the ‘Contact’ link at the top of the page.
Kind regards,
-John.
