Hey Norway -

Then I will spend the the next few days to a week bookmarking my pages. A conservative number is 5-10 links per day, but if you want to be more extreme, just be prepared to have accounts deleted,etc. And use buffer sites!

So you bookmark your web 2.0 sites (squidoo, hubpages, blogger wordpress etc) on places like digg and stumbleupon. Now do you only submit each site once or how does that work? Like you can only submit a page to digg once right?

My basic strategy is creating a web 2.0 circle of love. haha
I make a squidoo, hubpages, blogger, wordpress etc that all link to each other and to my money site. Sometimes I directly link to the affiliate page and sometimes I create a master landing page. Each one of the web 2.0 sites is also sort of a landing page. Then i link to the "money site" and the web 2.0 circle with articles.

I have never really gotten into bookmarking sites so that is why I am wondering how you do it. Like I can bookmark my squidoo at a bunch of different places, but I can only do it once right?

They're not as effective since the slap. Google needs more variety of backlinks rather than from just web 2.0 properties (article submission, software directory submissions, etc).

Howie's methods don't just deal with web 2.0 properties.

That's just one of the promotional methods he uses.

But you definitely need to have a variety of backlinks to any site. This will help you rank better in Google.

Articles, videos, images, comments, PR, bookmarks, other web 2.0 properties...there are tons of ways to get backlinks.

You have to decide on your own linking strategy for every single campaign.

Variation is also a must in this game. The more you change up your game, the less likely you are to get caught.

When it comes to building links you gotta think one word: Orgy! None of this sticking with only one link building method or even having a threesome every once in a while. You gotta be multiple dating, multiple link tactics, spread your love across as many places and sources as possible.

lol nice analogy digitalblue, I'm sure I'll be thinking 'orgy' every time I launch a new site

Hey, as long as it gives you some motivation

Quick question:
How does Howie know which longtail keyword to attack when using is method with web 2.0?

I was just watching his Web 2.0 as a Weapon video and he talks about using survey and Adwords , I would like to see a video of him explaining this if anyone got it or understand what he is doing...

Thanks!

The survey method basically involves doing the following:
1.first look through forums and what not to see what your market is talking about and what questions/problems are being asked.
2.gather a list of keywords
3.make an ebook or something you can give away for free
4.create an adwords campaign with the end goal of having your visitor fill out a survey in return for the product you created in step 2
5.after you have let your campaign run its course, you will have some valuable data which you can create a product that is accurate to your market's issues.

That is the overview of his method. I haven't used it yet, but it does seem interesting to use a ppc campaign for surveying your visitors.

Oh, I forgot to add... Seeing as how you are only gathering information, you might as well get the visitors to opt-in to your list for sales of your future product.

Dumb question and I completely don't mean to intercept your thread - But where does Mr. Schwartz say how long it takes to complete the process of one long-tail keyword? And @ how many hours a day?

good thread valuable information

I could be wrong, but for short term money pages, like two weeks. For long tern, 2-6 months.
