Are you pulling your hair out trying to get traffic to your website?

It can be frustrating - there may even be times when you feel like giving up altogether.

I know, because I've been there.

Staring at a flat line in Google Analytics, and trying to work out what it takes to turn that line into an upward slope.

The fact is the Internet offers amazing opportunities for those who understand how it works.

But the competition is intense. It's more intense today than it's ever been before.

It's Getting Harder and Harder to Succeed Online

What worked ten years ago doesn't work anymore.

Why?

Because the competition has got a lot more intense. There are just so many people with blogs and websites. And they're all competing for the same pool of traffic.

A lot of the big names in your niche - the ones you look to for advice - started out five or ten years ago.

But getting established on the Internet was much easier back then.

Put simply: what they did to get where are now wouldn't work today.

Struggling with Social Media?

If you're starting out in online business, chances are someone has told you that social media is the key to getting visitors to your website.

Here is why social media is not a good source of traffic.

Posting content to social media is like throwing a pebble onto quicksand.

It stays there for a few seconds, and then it sinks down, never to be seen again.

Here is the half-life of a social media post:

• a Tweet lasts 18 to 20 minutes and then disappears forever
• a Facebook post lasts 2.5 to 5 hours and then disappears forever
• an Instagram post lasts 19 hours and then disappears forever

Organic Traffic (aka getting on Page #1 of Google)

By contrast, here are the benefits of organic traffic from Google:

• Page #1 blog posts deliver passive, residual traffic for months (I have Page #1 articles that have been sending me traffic for over a year)
• Each new blog post builds on the traffic from the last blog post – you’re not starting from scratch every time (as you are with social media)
• When you rank on Page #1 of the search results, you become an expert
• Get highly targeted traffic: when people find your page in the search results, it means they are looking for what you offer
• Because search engine traffic is targeted, it converts much better than social media traffic

My Story...

I started blogging back in January of 2017.

And tried all the usual traffic-building methods:

• Pinterest
• Guest Blogging
• Influencer Outreach
•  forum commenting
• Facebook
• Twitter

None of them moved the needle on my traffic.

I was publishing a new blog post every week. But I had nothing to show for it. My traffic was a flat line. ​I was beginning to wonder if I could make this blogging thing work.

Then I started doing keyword research for every new blog post. But my articles were ranking on Page #5 of the search results. I still wasn't getting any traffic.

And then one day it dawned on me - Google was telling me exactly how to rank on Page #1 for any keyword. So I started studying the top 5 pages for any given keyword. I would pull each page apart, I would analyze it from top to bottom.

And I began to understand why those pages were ranking on Page #1. Basically, I reverse-engineered the content that was already ranking for that keyword.

The result?

My blog posts started appearing on Page #1 of the search results. Sometimes in position #1!

My List Started Growing Like Crazy

With this surge of traffic my list started growing like crazy.

I would get three or four new subscribers every day.

And that made me realize something about search engine traffic: it’s highly targeted and so it converts very well.

Why?

Because people go to search engines to solve a problem. So, when they find your article in the search results, they’ve already qualified themselves as potential subscribers ort potential customers.

That’s very different to social media traffic. People go to social media to catch up with friends and colleagues – not to solve a problem.

6 Things That Might be Holding You Back

1. You think you have to be an expert to land on Page #1 of Google 

Wrong – that’s how you become an expert! Google has enormous power and prestige. Once you start ranking on Page #1, some of that prestige will rub off on you.

2. You think SEO is just too difficult

 Wrong – SEO is simply matching content to what searchers are looking for. Once you understand the secrets to doing that, SEO is not difficult.

3. You think your niche is too competitive to rank on Page #1 of Google

Wrong – with any niche whatsoever, there are long tail keywords where the traffic is relatively low, but the competition is also low. It’s just a matter of finding those opportiunities.

4. You don’t do keyword research before writing blog posts

No one should ever write a blog post without targeting a keyword for which they ono they have a good chance of ranking on Pahe #1 of Google.

5. You tried SEO, it didn’t work, so you decided it wasn’t for you

Big mistake! About 40% of all referral traffic on the Internet now passes through Google. That’s a massive river of targeted traffic looking for what you are offering. And its free! If you know how to tap into it, that river of traffic will float your business and take you where you want to go.

6. You targeted keywords you simply cannot rank for

In every niche there are keywords that are so competitive you just don’t stand a chance of ranking for. This goes back to keyword research. Every blog post should start with keyword research. Before you even put ‘pen to paper’ (or open a Word document) you need to have found a keyword that you know you can rank for on Page #1.

Page #1 of Google - The Key To Building Your Business

The fact that you're reading this page is proof that these techniques work.

Why?

Because it means you're on my list.

And if you're on my list, it means you found one of my articles on Page #1 of Google.

It's as simple as that (I don't do social media or paid advertising or use any other source of traffic - my traffic is 100% organic search from Google).

Here are the reasons why organic traffic from Google is the best foundation for your business:

• Get an endless supply of targeted leads
• Stop paying for advertising
• Be seen as an expert (because you rank on Page #1 of Google)
• Get new subscribers every day
• Create a traffic machine that feeds your business

How Is 'Page #1 Traffic Surge' Different To Other SEO Courses?

Most SEO courses teach an array of techniques for improving your SEO: keyword research, On-Page SEO, building backlinks, Google Analytics, Technical SEO, etc, etc. My course covers those topics as well. But my approach to SEO focuses on creating content with high topical authority. That's what allows me to outrank websites with much higher DA than me. And that's the core technique I teach in 'Page #1 Traffic Surge'. The Google algorithm is moving away from keywords - it's placing much more importance on topics. And that's what separates my course from other SEO courses.

Who Is Page #1 Traffic Surge For?

This course is for you if:

=> You're a course-creator and you need to send targeted traffic to your landing pages

=> You write product reviews with affiliate links and you want to drive targeted traffic to those product reviews

=> You're a freelance graphic designer and you want to find clients by sending targeted traffic to your order page

=> You want to build your email list by sending targeted traffic to your lead magnet

=> You have a webinar and you want to send targeted traffic to it

=> You coach beginning bloggers and you want to get more clients

=> You have a local business and you want to get more customers from your local area

What's Holding You Back?

SEO Is Too Complicated

There's a common belief that SEO is too complicated for the average person. That's why you have all these "SEO experts". It's partly true - SEO has many moving parts. There are many factors involved in why one piece of content ranks on Page #1 of Google and another doesn't. But do you have to understand all these different factors in order to get on Page #1 of Google?

Not all all! Just as you don't have to understand the internal combustion engine in order to drive a car.

Just follow the techniques I go through in the 12 modules, and your content will rank on Page #1 of Google. Following the techniques in the course is the equivalent of turning the key in the ignition (as opposed to reading an engineering text about internal combustion engines).

What About Algorithm Updates?

Google is constantly trying to improve the match between what people search for and what they find in the search results. And that's why we have these algorithm updates every few months. But as long as you're not practicing the dark arts of "black hat" SEO, these updates wont affect you. I've had some dips in my traffic, for sure. But in the two years I've been doing SEO, my traffic has been steadily growing.

There's Too Much Competition in SEO

This another common misunderstanding about SEO. Of course, getting on Page #1 of Google is competitive. But there's a direct relationship between volume of traffic and level of competition. As a rule, the more words in your keyword phrase, the smaller the volume of traffic and the lower the competition. So if you know how to do long tail keyword research (I show you how to do this in Module 8) you can always find keywords that you can rank for on Page #1 of Google. Sure, the volume of traffic is lower, but those long tail keywords convert better than 'head' keywords, so you need less long tail traffic (I explain this better in the course).

I Tried SEO and I Ended Up On Page 57 of the Search Results

Truth is, we've all had that experience. In the first 4 months of my SEO journey, my content was never higher than Page 2 of the search results (and let's face it, if you're on Page 2, you might as well be on Page 57). But that's why I've created this course. So that you can go straight to Page #1. Save yourself the learning curve I went through and get it right the first time!

Will This Work for My Niche?

I get this question a lot and the answer is: Yes, it will. This question is a bit like asking: are there any niches or topics that Google doesn't cover in its search results? Now, there is another issue: some niches are more competitive than others. But again, it's just a matter of finding the long tail keywords that allow you to escape the 'feeding frenzy' of competitive keywords.

How Long Will It Take Me To Get on Page #1 of Google?

If you target low-competition keywords (which I show you how to do in the course) you can get on Page #1 of Google within 90 days. In some niches, it may take a bit longer. There's no doubt about it: SEO is a long game. But so is building a business on the Internet. If anyone promises you overnight results, it's almost certainly a scam. While SEO does take time, once you're on Page #1, it's passive, residual traffic. I have articles that rank on Page #1 and they've been there for 18 months (some of the them in Position #1).

How Much Writing Does This Involve?

I started off writing two articles a month. I now write an article every week (because my research and writing process has become more streamlined and efficient). To do well in SEO, you do have to produce a constant output of content. But that goes for anything on the Internet - to get noticed you have to be a content-producer (unless you pay for your traffic).

What's the Time Commitment Involved?

You'll need to set aside an hour a day during the week and two hours a day on the weekend. As with anything, the more time you spend on this, the quicker you'll get results. But 9 to 12 hours a week will be enough to get started and see some results.

I've Never Written a Blog Post Before

I can still remember my first blog post. I knew how to write (I have an academic background) but I had no idea what writing style I should use. Writing for the Internet is different to writing offline. On the Internet people don't read, they scan. And that means you have to format your article in a particular way. Also, on the Internet you're not just informing your reader - you're trying to create a relationship with them. If your reader feels that you understand them, that you're having a conversation with them, they'll stay on your page for longer. And that's going to increase your 'time on page', a metric that Google studies very closely. More 'time on page' means that your content will rank higher in the search results.

It took me a full 18 months to learn the 'ins and outs' of writing content that engages online readers. Writing engaging content is one of the keys to ranking on Google. And that's why I've included my premium training course, Laptop Writer, as a bonus with Page #1 Traffic Surge. Laptop Writer teaches you how to write irresistible article titles, how to write Introductions that pull your readers in from the very first sentence, and how to use transitional phrases to keep your readers moving down the page.

So don't worry: by the time you've finished my 7-module Laptop Writer course (Bonus #1), you'll have no trouble writing your first blog post.
