Thanks to mlmJedi for telling me that my internet network marketing blog is on Google page 1 for the phrase “Internet Network Marketing“. I did not expect my blog TerryTaySecrets.com to be rank up there simply because I’m not an SEO person neither did I do any SEO stuff on my blog.
And mind you that there are about 261,000,000 website competing for the phrase “Internet Network Marketing” and that’s huge number of websites. So whats my secret?
(Although It’s the very last one of Google page 1 but out of so many other sites I’m on page 1)
Listen close. I don’t have any secrets. My formula is to get a wordpress blog and post regularly about stuff I know about internet network marketing. Google search engine loves wordpress blogs (I don’t know exactly why, like I say I’m not a SEO person but I do know that wordpress blogs get index easily and faster) so I simply just use a wordpress blog.
Another thing I do is to Post on a regular basis. Google like new content and stuff, it make sense that Google puts you on the first few pages if you have regular content. When I say content, I do not mean just any content. Google algorithm are evolving every day and they know how to differentiate from good and bad content, so don’t try to fool it by adding junks.
Well, good content not only favor the search engines, your readers will like it too. If you provide good information or entertain them, they will come back to see if you have new stuff for them to read or learn.
Let’s sum up… If you want to have people coming to your blog, simply do the things that attract people…
- Get a wordpress blog (For SEO purposes)
- Post it regularly
- Provide good and entertaining content (This is the tough part but just do it)
On top of that, if you want to really optimize your blog for SEO and traffic, I recommend you to check this bonus ebook on Web 2.0 by Jack Humphrey, he has loads of information and resources on that.

Hi Terry,
Congrats on the SERP on google’s 1st page. But to be fair, instead of touting the 216 million results. I’m sure you do understand that whats more important is how many searches are done for that keyword “Internet Network Marketing”. Don’t have the newbies thinking you’re the next SEO guru yah? =P
Nonetheless congrats again.
Regards,
Alvin Huang
Hey Alvin, of cos searches are important.
I’m sure I’m not a SEO expert, I’m a newbie myself
, its a different level of expertise and I’m glad
I have friends that are expert in this to guide me through.
I just got lucky when I know I’m on page 1 and I
figure out that, consistently posting and updating
your blog will help.
So the formula is update your blog regularly.
Thanks for dropping by again!
Terry
The number of searches are important but surely not as important as relating the keywords your ranking for to your audiences buying process. Highly trafficked keywords which sites are optimized for continue to be more challenging to attain high SE positions for, and may KW’s are just info gathering not matched to buying cycle are tipping point of action. Better to slice and dice your market. i.e. not “Internet Marketing†but “Internet Network Marketingâ€.
This is great stuff!
Its definitely true that the ranked keyword should be related to the audiences’ buying process.
But I think my initial point was missed. Its the idea of revealing facts but not the whole story. Its akin to saying, “I just made $10,000 this month” and have an Internet marketing blog. And not revealing that actually perhaps $9k came from the the person’s full-time job while $1k came from internet marketing.
Just merely wanted to point out that in relation to this post when other valuable information is not shown. Thats all. My 2 cents.
Great to have you back Alvin.
Thanks for sharing your views. It’s true to what you have mention, thanks for pointing that out.

To Alex Huang,
From my research from SEObook.com and wordtracker. “Internet Network Marketing” have about 3000 to 5000 searches presently and it will explode in the next few years as the trend Traditional Old School MLM Network Marketing is Falling or DEAD and a lot of guys who got burned in MLM will start searching for “Network Marketing”+”Internet”.So I grab my surf board “chopped” a good spot and waiting for the Big Wave(Traffic) to come.You don’t need to be a SEO Guru to rank pg 1.It takes me a Newbie 4 days to rank pg 1 for “Internet Network Marketing” .No secrets ,you just have to Blog ,Social Bookmark and do articles submission thats it.
May the Force be with You

Thanks MLM Jedi for sharing.

Firstly its Alvin Huang MLM Jedi. =)
Secondly if u run the keyword search on “Internet Network Marketing”, the highest searched keyword is “Internet And Network Marketing” and other variations.
For “internet and network marketing” Terry is ranked on page 4. Even the additional “and” makes a change in his rankings. There’s no search volume shown for “Internet Network Marketing”.
Thirdly, just though its good to point out that the tool at seobook draws data from inventory.overture.com , and the overture data is old data. Do a search at inventory.overture.com and it will show that it gives you Jan 2007 data. The seotool basically takes the overture count and double it for the Google estimate and halves it for msn estimate before coming out with the total count. Imagine if the overture data was 20% off, the doubling and halving of google and msn counts would make the data more distorted.
Alot of software draws old overture data like Goodkeywords, Keywords Analyzer(if no WD or KRD subscription) etc…so one must be careful or at least take the data with a pitch of salt.
For free tools, http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html and http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com will still do for now.
Oh and by the way, I’m running for the Spirit of Enterprise 2007 award. Appreciate it if you all could take 1 min to vote for me at http://www.alvinhuang.com/vote
