Push Button Google Friendly Silo Structured Websites… Yeah Right!

Push button, Google friendly, silo structured websites – sounds like a load of marketing hype doesn’t it?

I would certainly think so if someone else had written that!

In fact, I have studiously avoided all products that have claimed to be ‘push-button’ and automated simply because they serve up low-quality generic content.

I’ve also given up on SEO as a primary source of traffic – it just takes up too much time and, with the frequent changes in Google’s algorithm, it is almost impossible to establish a reliable source of traffic with SEO.

I’ve therefore stopped trying to outwit Google and have concentrated on creating high-quality content that is not really keyword orientated but more content orientated and authentically records what I am doing in my business – just like the content in this post!

For traffic, I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that it is better to buy traffic but only on the proviso that you can measure your ROI and split-test for improvements.

Paid traffic can easily rack up big losses if you do not keep on top of the numbers.  But if you get it right, it  is easy to scale up quickly.

However, after seeing a demonstration of a product called P1 Traffic Machine by Peter Garety, I have for the first time glimpsed another possible way to leverage SEO to make money.

Peter and his partner, Andrew Fletcher, have created a piece of software where you can pick your top-level keyword, enter it into the software and it will automatically create a silo structured website and automatically fill it with relevant content from a wide variety of sources.

Here is a diagram of a silo structured website in case you are wondering:

Slide 1 - Silo Sites

The speed of deployment and implementation is astounding, giving anyone the opportunity of quickly creating niche related sites filled with relevant keyword-orientated content that can be customised.  It is not 100% hands-off as some editing is required, but nevertheless will remove 85% of the time and effort of entering a niche.

Most importantly, the site is properly structured with the correct redirect links in place for maximum SEO leverage.

Furthermore, it is easy to monetise the site with affiliate links and affiliate related content in a variety of variations and formats.

Because of the TIME involved in researching and creating niche sites, I have never created a website outside the internet marketing and make money online niche.  Now, for the first time, I can see how I can quickly create a variety of niche sites that are silo-structured for each keyword and that will make total sense to Google because the content is all relevant.

These can be deployed on domains that you already own and have not yet been developed, or in offline niches or simply in any niche where you think there is an opportunity to rank well in the search engines.

Peter even has a tool which you can purchase in the P1 Traffic Machine sales funnel where you can quickly check how easy it will be to rank for a keyword thereby enabling you to focus on building out the content for that keyword.

My thoughts are that I will test this software in a variety of fairly focused niches that interest me – for example, lawn-care is a niche that interests me and I have some expertise in.  I would love to create a niche site for this and cross-sell all the products related to lawn-care.

Also, growing vegetables is another niche that I would like to enter.  Or how about trying to rank for some of my favourite pieces of software or themes?

All of this becomes possible with the P1 Traffic Machine software.

At present there are 3 packages – I have invested in the top-level package which is the ‘Enterprise’ package because the price is currently at a large discount and it will give an opportunity to create up to 100 niche sites – with developers rights – so I can sell this as a service too!

The software is a plugin so it can be used with any WordPress theme – so site design is also flexible.  I have developers rights on a number of themes so I can easily create some nice looking niche sites.

So in essence P1 Traffic Machine created push-button, Google friendly, silo structured websites really fast enabling you to quickly rank sites in almost any niche – a handy tool to have in your locker.

My First Internet Marketing Seminar – My Golden Ticket

Before I bought Marc Milburn’s coaching course, I booked to attend Marketing With Alex – Live which is being held at Heathrow, London on the 18th and 19th May 2013.  Hopefully, this will be my ‘Golden Ticket’!

I am writing this blog post just before I leave for the event.

Here’s what Alex has promised to cover over the weekend:

  • how to double, triple or even quadruple your business.
  • how to launch your first information product and make between $2,000 and $55,000 in your very first week (no experience needed)
  • how to get an endless stream of traffic so you never stop making money on the internet
  • how to make $8,000 in 90 minutes on the internet, without a website or a product
  • how to add 1,213 people into your membership in the first few days without any of the content created
  • how to make $9,587 per month working just 3 hours per week
  • how to launch your own software product (without even knowing a line of code) and still bank $3,431 in the first 7 days
  • how to create simple sales funnels (and bank as much as $75,321 per month) on complete auto-pilot
  • how to make $67,241 in the first month you launch a back-end coaching programme.  even with no experience and while just working one afternoon a week.

In addition to this seminar content, Alex has invited some of his big affiliates – I am hoping to meet as many as possible in view of the products that I want to launch shortly.

Also, Dean Holland, another of my mentors, is attending so it will be great to meet him face to face for the first time.

The Oompaloompas Want My Ticket

Even The Oompaloompas Want My Ticket

I am really looking forward to this event because it will be great to get out from behind my computer and meet some of the major players in internet marketing.

Internet marketing is all about relationships and this is a golden opportunity to network with some like-minded people and who knows what will come of it in the future.  In any event, whatever happens, I’m going to enjoy the experience.

I think I have probably been over-complicating my internet marketing – this was discussed on a coaching call with Dean Holland last night.

Michael Young, another internet marketer, was mentioned.  I have followed Michael for a while now – most of his products are pretty sketchy and short but he has a very engaging and likeable manner.  His strategy has changed from creating and launching his own products to re-launching other peoples products at a discount to their normal price. in 90 days he has generated $340k in sales with having to work very hard.

It’s all about working smart rather than working hard and Michael seems to have cracked the formula.

However, I listened to a webinar by Peter Garety yesterday, and it is quite evident that he is running his business using some sophisticated management information.  He has a product called WP Campaign Manager that allows you to track and segment your customers buying behaviour which enables him to be very targeted with his email marketing.

So there’s the dichotomy, one marketer is saying that it is easy and you can do it with other peoples products , working just a few hours a day, and another marketer is working hard to manage his business using sophisticated management information systems.

Next week I am ringing John Robbins, a fellow student of Dean Holland’s to discuss Michael Young’s strategy in more detail.  It will also be a chance to get to know John who is an expert in video marketing.

I am also interested in developing a relationship with Sergio Felix, a fellow student of Marc Milburn’s.  I think Sergio will go far because he is not afraid to put himself out there on video and he seems to be well connected.

I am inclined to think that working hard is the only way but it is always beguiling to dream that there is an easier way.  It will be interesting to see whether my opinion changes over the course of this weekend with Alex Jeffreys.

So wish me luck with my first internet marketing seminar and I’ll report back on how I got on next week and tell you if it really was one of life’s golden tickets.
