			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago I sent out a quick little survey asking what you<br />
really wanted from me.  So far there have been over 1749 replies,<br />
and the emails are still pouring in. </p>
<p>I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the overwhelming<br />
response.</p>
<p>WOW, but the shocking thing was that the majority of people wanted<br />
more case studies about  list building, SEO, and PPC. </p>
<p>Really, these are all the things that I do every day in my own<br />
business to make money. </p>
<p>So today I&#8217;m going spill the beans about free traffic and reveal<br />
some of my own Jedi traffic tricks.</p>
<p>Sound good?</p>
<p>Most &#8220;Guru&#8217;s&#8221; always talk about their successful sites, but very<br />
few of them have the guts to really show them to you.  </p>
<p>It seems they always talk about how they would get people knocking<br />
them off if they did.</p>
<p>Personally, I think most of them are just totally full of B.S.</p>
<p>If your site is that weak, then you don&#8217;t need to be teaching<br />
anything to anybody.</p>
<p>Have you ever thought the same thing?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to show you a site that has been on the first page of<br />
Google for over 4 years.</p>
<p>See, I believe in building real business and not some lame<br />
fly-by-night scam. </p>
<p>This allows me to sleep like a baby at night not having to worry<br />
about the next Google Slap, Punch, Drop Kick, or Body Slam.</p>
<p>If you want to do the same then just clone my success.</p>
<p>Google this term: </p>
<p>garage plans</p>
<p>My site GaragePlansPlus has been on the first page for over 4<br />
years.  Every once in a while it drops to page 2, but I can boost<br />
it up overnight when that happens.</p>
<p>Yes, I know this site is about the most &#8220;dog ugly&#8221; site you will<br />
ever see.  One day I will get around to a makeover for it.  I hope.</p>
<p>Now, if you want to get to the first page of Google then just<br />
follow along.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a 2 part formula for success.</p>
<p>=================================================================</p>
<p>PART 1 These are the things you have direct control over.<br />
=================================================================</p>
<p>Step 1 &#8211; Get a keyword rich domain.  Believe me, it works. </p>
<p>Step 2 &#8211; Make sure your main keyword is in your page title. </p>
<p>Example:  Garage Plans  | RV Garage Plans  | Garage Apartment Plans</p>
<p>Step 3 &#8211; Make sure you use keyword rich meta tags.  Forget about<br />
what those so-called SEO experts say.  Meta tags will help.</p>
<p>Step 4 &#8211; Make sure you use the main keyword in your H1 tags.</p>
<p>Step 5 &#8211; Use your main keyword in your image and alt tags.  Also,<br />
name your images after your main keyword.</p>
<p>Step 6 &#8211; Sprinkle your keyword throughout your page text and make<br />
sure your links have your keyword in the anchor text.</p>
<p>Step 7 &#8211; Use the no follow tag to sculpt your link juice to your<br />
most important pages.  This is very important.  Don&#8217;t overlook this<br />
one step.</p>
<p>=================================================================<br />
PART 2 These are things that other people control, but we are going<br />
to stack the deck in our favor.</p>
<p>=================================================================</p>
<p>Step 1 &#8211; Run a ranking report to find out where your site ranks or<br />
even if it ranks at all.  Then do it on your competitor&#8217;s site.</p>
<p>Step 2 &#8211; Find all the sites that rank on the first page and then do<br />
a back link check in Yahoo, Google, and MSN.  Once you find out who<br />
is linking to them, there&#8217;s a good chance they would link to you.</p>
<p>Step 3 &#8211; Contact the sites that are giving your competition links<br />
and email them and see what it takes to get a link.  This is also a<br />
great way to build an affiliate army <img src='http://charleskirklandblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Step 4 &#8211; Find Authority sites in your niche that will accept your<br />
links.  This is will give you a huge boost in rankings.</p>
<p>Step 5 &#8211; Find directories that will allow you to submit your site.<br />
This is a great way to build massive one way links which are the<br />
best kind to have.</p>
<p>Step 6 &#8211; Make sure you aren&#8217;t linked to any banned sites.  This one<br />
mistake will cost you dearly. One wrong link and you get<br />
blacklisted faster than a Hollywood has-been.</p>
<p>Step 7 &#8211; Make sure that the people with whom you are swapping links<br />
are still linking back to you.  Some people play dirty and drop<br />
your links after a few weeks.  This way they build one way links<br />
and give you the short end of the deal.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />
