One of my friends these days is following the teachings of Geeta. He has decided to work on a project for next 12 months without waiting for any types of results. Surprising, right? So lets see what is he doing?

Few days back, after seeing my post about making money in herbal business through MarketHealth, he tried few of the campaigns through PPC and made some money. He was not very happy with PPC and decided to go for regular SEO. He decided to give it a try in a different manner. I asked him about how he is planning to do it. This is what he said:

I am not planning to spend any money on it. But I am a good writer and can write very good reviews. So this is what I am planning to do:

1. Create 1 Squidoo page every day for one of the products available from MarketHealth. They pay 50% of the sale price.
2. Then write 5 article for it, the same day and submit it to ezine articles.
3. Repeat this for 50 days for all the 50 offers of MarketHealth. Thats is one squidoo lens and 5 articles each day.
4. Then start again from first offer and do it again and again (This time targeting different keywords but for same offers). This time with hubpages (or again with Squidoo only)
5. If the time permits in between, submit all the Squidoo lenses and ezine articles to all social networking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Technorati etc. Will also comment related blogs (with or without nofollow)
6. Thats it, keep repeating it every 50 days. I plan to pay the quantity game here (when I know that my writing skills (quality) is good enough).

This is what i call “Do your Karma, Don’t Wait for Results“, as suggested by Geeta. Creating one Squidoo page and 5 articles every day. And keep doing it without worrying about the past article on how they are doing. Saturate the market with your reviews and articles only.

I think it will surely work in long term and is really a good strategy. Best of luck for him. What do you think? Do you think this is going to work for him?

Here are some tips for people doing marketing through squidoo pages.

• First of all, as always, content is still the king. So get good and unique content.
• Introduction is the most important module of your lens. Use it for pre-selling. Highlight the keywords is in to let the people know that they are at right place.
• Use the introduction module to give a short review of the product you are going to sell in the content.
• Squidoo allows the use of 40 tags. Use the all 40 with all the variations possible. But use ONLY relevant tags.
• Create one Squidoo page per account. This will help in lensroll and ratings.
• You may not be knowing about a feature called lensroll (similar to blogroll, on the right bottom side of page). Add all your Squidoo lenses here.
• Enable the “Contact me” button in your profile. This will help people contact you (may be for lensroll).
• Submit your lens to sites like lensroll.com, squidom.com and squoogle.com.
• Use stumble, digg and del.icio.us to bookmark it.
• Let people know (ping) that you exist with the help of pingoat.com and squidutils.com
• Update your lens at-least a month. If you don’t have anything to update, just change a tag or image. It will keep telling squidoo that your lens is fresh.
• On the “stats” page, when you click on traffic, you will see some keywords. Some of them are the keywords with “+” in front of them. These are the keywords people used to reach you, but are not in your lens. Add them by just clicking on “+” sign.
• Market each of your lenses with at-least 5 ezine articles.

I think these are the points which are coming to my mind right now. If I remember some more, I will add them in the comments section. Do you have some more Squidoo tips of creating good Squidoo lenses? If yes, please feel free to add them by commenting.

First of all thanks to Jim Karter for providing me the opportunity to make this post. I was thinking of asking him but his instant message made the things a lot simpler.

So after some serious thinking, I have decided to write 2 short posts on SEO and linking Mistakes which most of the people commit (mostly new comers). Please do note this is in no way any kind of exhaustive list or complete list. In the future, I may write a better version of it on this blog. So here we go.

6 SEO Mistakes You Should Avoid

1. DO NOT change the title of pages which are already doing well in SERPs. I had done this mistake in the past and suffered heavily. The moment you change the title, your page will surely go down in SERPs and will may or may not come again (in few weeks time) depending the extent of change you have done to it.

2. Meta Tags spamming. Don’t waste time in meta keyword stuffing. Its useless. Just keep very few keyword in it, if you want to.

3. Have same title and description for all the pages. Title is probably “the” most important element of your page. Sometimes, by mistakes (from newbies), either the title of all the pages becomes same or the description becomes similar. I have seen this a lot, in forums specially. So you better fix it.

4. Too many links on a page, and worst, too many useless links on a page. Make sure you nofollow your registration pages, login pages as well as footer and other useless links to avoid PR leak. Also try to avoid those site-wide menu links which don’t add much value in terms of usability.

5. No proper formatting of content. Try to use all H2, H3 and strong tags to make the content look better, not only to the user but to the search engine bots as well. Tell the bot, what the page is about.

6. Excessive use of ajax, javascript and flash. Avoid using them too much, at-least not on content rich pages. Its alright to use them but make sure, they don’t “get” your important content.

6 Linking Mistakes You Should Avoid

1. Avoid unnatural links. I remember, in 2006, people were fine with any kind of links as Google didn’t used to give very high weight age to neighborhood and was only concerned about PR but in 2008, things are a lot different. Now a bad neighborhood can seriously damage your search engine rankings so be careful to what you are linking and from where your links are coming from.

2. Automated link exchange programs are dead. DigitalPoint coop and LinkVault (I am not even sure they are running now) are dead and as Link Metro and similar sites. I haven’t checked them since months and now no one talks about them. So you too better don’t talk about them.

3. Reciprocals don’t work anymore. In most cases, blatant reciprocal from links.php pages or running linkman and similar reciprocal scripts wont work, so don’t waste your time on them. You may get link partners (mostly pharma links) but you will be better of without them.

4. Never spam, as it doesn’t work. In the wonder years of 2005 (and before) people used to spam guestbooks heavily and it also used to work. But now, its sure shot method of getting kicked out from Google index.

5. Don’t use blackhat techniques unless you know what you are doing. (Jim Karter: Dont’ use them even if you know. ) There are people who make tons of money by spamming and doing black hat, but they know what they are doing and are pro players. You being a rookie, can do serious harm to your good sites. Saying that, there is nothing wrong in testing the grey area of search engine rankings, just make sure you don’t do this on your good sites.

6. Be careful in buying posts and links. Are you even getting what you are paying for? Do not blindly buy any link seeing its PR. Ask yourself, is the cost of that link justifiable? Also, do not buy 1 month or 2 month links but if you really want to buy links, look for at-least 6 months to 1 year links. Do make sure that you only get link from related website and sites which can also give you some traffic. Avoid getting site-wide and footer links, but look for natural links.
