I’ll be speaking at Marketing Sherpa’s Business-to-Business Lead Generation Summit in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco this fall.

It’s $100 off until 9/15 if you want to attend. Judging from the other speakers, and Marketing Sherpa’s reputation for high-end e-marketing content, this should be a great event. It’s Oct 18-19 in D.C. and Nov 18-19 in San Fran.

My topic will be How to Create a Microsite Specifically for Lead Generation. It follows up on a case study that Marketing Sherpa wrote about one of my clients last April.

I know there is a lot of software out there to do just about anything you can possibly think of but it all costs money. Andy got me started with his how to build a Yahoo store [cheap] . I am sure there are several new ecomerce store owners who are just trying to get up and running and turn a small profit before purchasing time saving software. Below are a few sites that I have found.
www.googleranking.com This site will let you check Google and Yahoo for up to 1,000 positions you can input up to 10 keywords and check them all at once.

www.digitalpoint.com/tools they have several keyword tools you will find very helpful.

www.webmaster-toolkit.com They have a bunch of free tools also
Again these tools are free to use. I am not connected with these sites I just use there free tools. If you have any great free tools let us know.

Last night, Andy and I answered questions on a Stomper customer teleseminar that spanned two days. We went from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. — at the end we were pretty worn out, but we stayed until every question was answered. We had a great time — we got to hear from a lot of our customers personally and some of the success stories they’ve already had.

I’m not sure if a four hour teleseminar is a record, but it was the longest one I’ve ever heard! Thanks to all the Stompers who participated!

Brad/Andy:

Just wanted to drop a line and thank you guys for initiating the phone conference last night. We checked out about 11:30…don’t know how much longer ya’ll went…but what we heard was a helpful review of the CD’s- and some great new info. Keep up the good work!:)

We are now # 7 in google for our first keyword phrase Tuscan decor…that’s up from Page 3/4! We are psyched!

Now we are waiting for our “revamped” pages to get re-indexed for our other keywords/categories which are a little more competitive: Italian ceramics majolica, Tuscan furniture, and Italian wall tapestry

Page 1 here we come!

Thanks again,
Diane & Bob Hendrickson

Hello Fellow Home Biz Experts!
I have spent the past year educating myself on SEO because I coulnd’t find a good SEO “expert.” I feel fairly clued in; my new site has been a rank 3 without any effort except for posting in the first month. And as Bones said in Star Trek,” Dammit Jim, I’m a Doctor, not an SEO expert!” BUT (here’s the rub), what I spent a YEAR learining what Brad and Andy have in their tapes (for $295+-ish). This would have been a HUGE time and therefore money savings! If you are a newbie, GET THESE CD’s. “Trust me, I’m a Doctor” (got the credentials to back it up….)

Good Search Results!

Hello All,
I am very new to Blogging and such and hope I am not screwing this up somehow.
I am a recent customer of Stompin’ and long time follower of Andy.
I would like to start a thread hearing from guys like me (the little guys) who have been learning a lot from the CD’s and still have a lot to learn. Maybe if we swap some war stories of what we have done with the stuff we have learned (What’s working well, and maybe what’s not working so well) we can all benefit from each other.

I am new to the web world, I did somehow figure out how to build a website for my mother-in-law who is an Original Watercolorartist. The site sat for almost a year with no optimization and no recognition from Google. I followed Brad and Andy’s advice and posted a message wishing Andy a happy birthday and BAM, 2 days later our site was indexed.
Again, please share your experiences so we all may benefit. Thanks!

Hi I have been listening to the CDs and I love them!

I started work for a client but hit some problems that sort of knocked my confidence, at least slightly!

From the CDs I thought that Google organised it’s ranks based primarily on Page Rank. Imagine my surprise then when I discovered the following PR’s on google.co.uk (search pages from the UK)

The search term “accidents in the work place” has reverse Page Rank:

Rank PR
1st 2
2nd 3
3rd 4

I thought maybe this was a fluke so I checked a few others:

“holiday accident claim”
Rank PR
1st 5
2nd 4 <-- drops!
3rd 5

You said somewhere that the Google tool bar PR score is behind reality - is this the problem?

I also thought that 'number of links' was a factor and it was more or less consistent but there were some anomolies. For example for 'industrial disease':

Rank PR Links

1st 5 0
2nd 0 53 <-- lowest PR, but highest links
3rd 3 0

Can you shed some light on what is happening here and why.

Thanks very much, Tony

Andy Jenkins and I will be hosting a Search Engine Stompers teleseminar this week. We’ll email the details about how to get on the call to Stomper customers this week.

The main idea is to answer specific questions from people who are starting to put the Stomper principles into practice. We will answer questions during the teleseminar, including from the live chat function of SEO Radio.

You can also email questions ahead of time to stomperquestions@instantseoexpert.com. If you have a question, please get it in early, but we also try to take as many new live questions as we can.

Depending on the feedback from the live teleseminars, we may make it an ongoing event. I have been so thrilled by the feedback from both new and experienced SEO’s about the content of the Stomper, and I want to figure out a format to answer onging questions.

I’m thinking about putting together a live in-person advanced seminar for Stomper graduates. Anybody want to come to Atlanta?
