- You guys wanna hearsomething interesting?Well today I'm gonna sharewith you all of my war storiesabout getting banned by Google.and today I'm gonna share with youHey everyone, I'm Neil Patel,and if you don't, you're gonna get banned.SEO mistakes that you should avoidthrough WordPress themes.So the first one I have for you is building linksand they're like oh my god, this works.Some people are still doing them, Whether it's through WordPress themes,Or anything like that.it's through widgets, it's through like those little stack counter badges. See, back in the day, IGoogle for the term web hosting.had a web hosting website. I never provided web hosting, but, I ranked number one oncommissions for HotGator,That's one of the most competitive terms. Everyone's going after it because they want affiliate bluehost, GoDaddy.and then I bought a tonYou name it. And the way I ranked really high was, I bought a domain that had hosting in it, or the term web hosting,popular WordPress themesof WordPress themes. Instead of creating my own themes and putting the link at the bottom, I just found all the that are already outthemes that cost no money.there and that existed, and I bought the themes, right not just from the person for like $50. I'm talking about these free So let's say the creatorfor $10,000 and the wholeof one of the themes would be David Zayne. I would hit up David and be like hey you created an awesome theme, I'm just gonna buy the whole theme from youAnd I'm not gonna give up the URLbusiness and the site. And I'm gonna switch the bottom to say theme created by David Zayne to team created by, let's say, Neil Patel's web hosting site.most popular WordPress themesbut it was web hosting something, right? You can fill in the blank. And by doing that, I was building hundreds and thousands of links right away cause I was buying all the out there and sites.Google eventually banned by website.Within six months I shot off to the page of Google for the term web hosting. Within another three months, I shot up to the first spot. And you know what happened? When I was ranking number one,was generating was hugeI was generating over a $100,000 a month in affiliate income. That was great. I didn't even spend more than $50,000 buying a ton of theme sites and I did that over a period of six months. So the income that Iit was my site and theycompared to my investment. But I got banned. And they only banned me, and funny enough, number two and number three were using the same tactic but Google didn't ban them. And I think it was because people eventually found outmaybe battlefield bypasswanna make an example, nonetheless, I learned, don't do shady link affiliate tactics. The second strategy I have for you is expired domain names. There was a domain name that was named after a park one day. It was battlefield something,so I'll tell you all about it.or whatever it is. And I bought this expired domain name, cause it was about like the civil war in America and it had all these edu links. And I did something really creative and interesting. And I'm no longer in this space,You're talking about aSo with this battlefield bypass site, what I ended up doing is I took the expired domain name, put up casino related content, and then I built a few links here and there, but all I did was just a take really old domain name that had a ton of authority.domain name that costs over $10,000 that was expired and people were like, oh my god, this thing has a high Google paid rank, and back then that mattered, now it doesn't. I switched it all to casino related stuff, and then boom, I popped up in the top three spotsto do a lot of this stufffor the key term online casino and casino. That's crazy, right? Eventually Google figure it out, got banned, lost all my money, but when I was at the top, I was making, again, six figures in affiliate income each and every single month. If you notice a trend I used back in the day when I was a kid.is put all this time and energy like I didI stopped really doing this kind of stuff now because it's not long run. And if you're not sure if you're SEO strategy that you're using is gonna get you banned or if it's for the long run, leave a comment, and I'll tell you if you be doing more of it, or less of it. Cause the last thing you wanna dobut more so just drasticallyand then get banned. Think long term. The last strategy I have for you that eventually will end up getting you banned or penalized, or just crush your rankings, is writing the same content over and over again. See, a lot of you guys have blogs. And what you're doing with your blogs, and this will really get you banned,for an SEO.reduce your traffic, you can be like, what is all these Google updates happening? Why is my traffic keep going down? And I used to be a victim of it myself. After awhile, you run out of topics to produce. So you just regurgitate the same stuff over and over again. And I'll write articles like the top ten marketing toolstools, social media tools,The top ten free Google tools that every SEO should be using. The top ten SEO tools for 2018. And then I would even have older ones, the top ten marketing tools for 2017. And then 2016. And I did this to each and every single year, and I just regurgitated this information over and over again. Did it for SEO tools, marketingDelete the old ones thatand there was so much overlap in the content. What ends up happening when you have two articles or three articles that are on the same exact topic? How does Google know which one to rank? They don't. Instead, what you should be doing is updating your old content and changing it to 2017 to 2018 and making the tools more thorough.some months we get 800,000 new visitors.no one uses anymore. And by doing that, Google's like, oh cool, you're updating your old content. We should keep ranking it higher and higher cause it's fresh. They don't wanna rank old content that's outdated. I just recently bought a blog for half a million bucks. And this blog was like, oh some months we get 1.2 million unique visitors,What you'll find it, yourAnd like it's all seasonality. It's not seasonality. It's because they have the same content that's regurgitated over and over again and they have a lot of outdated content that talks about tools like FeedBurner, which no marketers use anymore. You delete all of that stuff, and you prune the content, and you update the old stuff. traffic won't just go up,that just sucks and nobut it will be way more consistent. So in your blog you probably already have regurgitated content, combined, the less powerful one, so go into your Google Analytics, look at the one that gets the least amount of search topic, and redirect it to the other one. Combine the content, make it more thorough, you have less duplicate content, and take all your old content one's reading anymoreyou should still be going up.and no one likes, and delete it. And redirect it to the most relevant post. When you do that, you're gonna get way more traffic, you're not gonna get penalized, and it's gonna continually grow quarter over quarter. Sure if you avoid these three things, there's no guarantee that your Google traffic won't go down. But in the long run when you measure it, year over year, Think long term, and don't do short term tricksyou will have longevity.and tactics like I was doing. Be like, oh, yeah, what kind of widget can I end up buying and put my name all over it? It's not about that. It's about longevity. And follow these tips and

7 ways to get adsense approved fast { how to get adsense approved 2020 }
what's up you guys this is Professor Ronwith one our professor comm and today Iwant to give you seven different ways tomonetize your website aside from usingright especially in the beginning butads now monetizing a website is tough the reality is if you never take thisrevenue then your business is just goingstep then you're never going to generate revenue and if you never generate to simply fail so most people when theystart a website they basically start doing it they start getting a little bit of traffic and then they throw ads ontoI declare bankruptcy and instead you'rethe website and they think okay that's it I'm gonna make a million dollars and then you find out you don't make a million dollarswhat is it that you should do that'sbasically making you know a few pennies here and there you may get some money but definitely not enough to quit your job and in these types of situationsyour own website to try to make morereally the question that you're trying to answer by coming here so by the end of this video I'm going to give you seven great ideas that you can try on money and I do want to disclose I'vedon't know who I am my name is Professorused every single one of these successfully so I know that they work and you can make them work too so let's go ahead and jump into it now I do want to start this out just by saying if you Rontwenty five thousand dollars in revenueotherwise 1 on our professor you can go to my website when our professor com I'm an individual I've been really successful with websites right now I have a portfolio that generates over every single month and I've done prettyclick on the income reports because awell with it so the point of me telling you this isn't a glow it's just basically to tell you that hey I know what I'm talking about I know what I'm doing if you're interested go over to one our professor comm specifically lot of people like to see how much Itakes on them because I've done itmake every month where I spend my money every month challenges etc so go check that out ok so let's go ahead and jump into it now I do want to say that some of these you may have heard before but I probably have some interesting ideas or myself and I definitely tried to includedon't if you refer people over tosomething you probably haven't heard of before number one is affiliate marketing and affiliate marketing is basically you refer someone to buy a product or software or service and you get a commission for that right now when I talk about this most people know of amazon.com and if youalways just you know Amazon as the onlyamazon.com to purchase a product then you can make some money so a lot of people do this with websites and do best x4y right they'll do like best microphone for podcasters and if people buy something from that blogpost they'll make some money that's great but the thing to understand is that it's notI just want to say make sure that yousolution a lot of companies have individual and private affiliate programs and I highly recommend that if you're ever not sure just type in the company name affiliate program into Google a lot of times you will find a result that you'll be happy with and next and before I get to number two guys watch this video all the way throughyou're doing and you get readers and youbecause I actually saved the best tip for last because it's something that you probably haven't heard of before number two is consulting now this is pretty self-explanatory but basically if you use your website like I've done before myself to showcase your expertise to show everyone that you know what know you get rank in Google and peoplethen choose my consulting agreements offind you you can then turn around and say hey I can sell consulting to you to help you do the same right whatever your topic is it could be a lot of different things the thing with this that I recommend is always try to sell packages don't just sell one call at a time say okay I can have a call with you but I you know I I have packages of three andwebsite you've established trust withthree meetings and I do that because if I just give you one and you don't take action you're not really gonna see results so by doing three or you could do five or ten that's how I make sure that you see results and number three is to sell an e product or a digital product right so this is basically when you have enough people coming to your them and they're starting to read yoursomething for you know somewhere betweencontent and come back and they start to like what you do then you are able to sell something like an e-book or a course right and there are people out there who have courses itself for literally thousands of dollars but those courses are you know 10 20 hours worth of content if I could give you a new recommendation from the beginning which is what I did just start out try to sell like 10 into 20 dollars nothing crazygoing here make sure that you like thisbut something that will at least what their appetite and see if you can actually get people to buy something because you guys want someone something from you it's like a light bulb goes off and you're like wow I can really do this so I definitely give that a shot I think that's one of the most realistic ways to make some money besides ads when you're starting out and guys I just want to say before I keep video if you're enjoying it andthat's willing to buy those leads okaysubscribe to the channel so that you don't miss out on new content have a lot of good stuff coming and I want to make sure that you're part of the community number four is to start partnerships to sell leads now this has been an interesting one for me but basically the idea is pretty simple if your website is able to make leads for any type of service business like painters or roofers or lawyers whatever it may be all that you need to do is find someonecompanies you basically have to do aor set you up to buy those leads I will say the best types of companies to partner with here are ones that I already have a nationwide network so although they'll probably buy the leads from you a little bit cheaper than what you could get otherwise it's nice because you can provide leads nationwide and they'll buy them you know ten twenty thirty dollars per lead and then they disperse them which is a great way to do it in order to find these google search and see what's out therething and when they do that you need toand it really depends on your niche but they definitely exist and you should definitely check on them number five is sponsored post now this is something that you can do begin to be careful with it basically sponsored posts when your website gets pretty popular whether it be from a domain Authority perspective and you've gotten a lot of backlinks or you have a lot of visitors people are gonna start approaching you and saying hey do you take guest posts that sort of tell them yes I dois a win-win for everybody and againbut be aware that I am going to mark it as a sponsored post for Google that basically tells them that hey yes you can get this and I can advertise you to my audience but I am also going to market a sponsored and Google has a little tag for you to do this but you say I'm going to market is sponsored and that way that individual knows yes look at a backlink but it will be marked as sponsored so you know as long as they're contacting you for the right reasons to you know advertise to your audience thisthat's an extra thousand dollars a monthguys I want to say one more time if you're liking the video please press the like button and also the subscribe button to make sure that you become part of my community I don't want you to miss out number six is to create a membership program and this is pretty self-explanatory but basic you create some type of membership group that people can be a part of and ask them to pay some amount of money to do it even if this is a low amount let's say 10 bucks a month and you have a hard people in it which isn't crazy and the beauty of thistype of affiliate review type post onone is you don't have to have a ton of people visiting your website in order to do it you just need to have a close-knit community on a small niche website and if you're able to create this type of community and charge them ten bucks a month to do it then they're able to pay that and you're getting a recurring income which is a great thing and number seven you guys and this really is the best for last that is to sell products via Amazon FBA now let me explain this a little further the idea here is that you write some your website write best x4y write bestlist your own product at the top of themicrophone for podcasters what you would then do is you would actually get that post and if you got it ranked and everyone in Google or really high up and it was doing really well then you would go and you would actually create a product yourself or outsource and wholesale a product from someone else and then you would mark that as the best product on your own list right when you do that you are able to then take that product ship it over to Amazon Amazon will do all the fulfillment for you and they will then sell your product the beauty of this is that you are able toGoogle and in Amazon microphone notdifferent results people will then click on that product they will buy it from Amazon right when they do that they are actually buying your product the beauty here is that on Google you may be number one for that type of product right on Google because it's you know best microphone for podcasters but then you might also be able to get to number one in Amazon for the same term best microphone for podcasters now that is like the Holy Grail that is search engine monopoly as I call it that's something once you're able to achieve that it is a very lucrative thing because you're number one inright if you have a small tightreally the best example because that's pretty technical but you can take this and you can push it to your own niche to see what I mean one thing to note is that I have done this myself and by doing so I will say the products that I had featured and number one in Google and in Amazon we're really really successful alright guys so that's my list of the seven different things that you can do to monetize your website besides ads I think the key here is that you don't necessarily need a huge website to make money with these a lot of these will work in really small niche websites and once you do thisand I will see you in the next onecommunity that's built up with trust and everything you can actually make a lot more money by doing this then you know a shotgun approach and just basically having ads serve all over the place so thanks guys for watching as always I appreciate it please if you have any questions or comments leave them below in the comment section on YouTube I'll definitely check that out I always do and otherwise guys thanks for watching
Wha is SEO How SEO work And How To Do It
What is SEO ?
How does Google determine which website to rank number one, two and three. It comes down to SEO, right? Well, it's more in depth than that. Google has over 200 factors; and the number one factor that affects rankings is backlinks. Today, I'm going to teach you what backlinks are and how they work. Moz SEO company interviewed tons of marketing experts, and they asked them what factors affect Google's rankings the most? They all said backlinks. So, with backlinks, that's one website linking to another website. Google's looking at it as votes. The more links that your website has, the higher you're gonna rank. In addition to that, they're looking at quality. So, if Huffington Post links to you, that's way more effective than if Joe the plumber linked to you. And Google knows that it's way harder to get a link from Huffington Post than it is to get a link from Joe the plumber. Now, another thing that they're using within their algorithm is how related is that link? So, if Huffington Post links to your plumbing website, that's actually not as effective compared to Joe the plumber linking to you. But, on the flip side, if Home Depot linked to you, because it's very relevant and they're within your space, that's way more effective than if Joe the plumber linked to you. So, a few things. Google is looking at how many backlinks you're getting; how many you're getting over time because it has to be natural, they don't want you to just go pay people to link to your website because they don't like that, you shouldn't pay for links; they're looking at how related those websites are; and they're looking at something called domain authority, that's how authoritative that website is. So, assume you're getting tons of backlinks, you're getting them from related websites and they have high domain authority. A domain authority is from a scale of 0 to 100, 100 being like a Google.com, a Youtube, a Facebook. And it works like on a Richter scale, right? A logarithmic scale, in which it's way easier to go from 1 to 10, than it is to go from 10 to 20. So, if you can get a lot of backlinks, you can get them from relevant sites, and you can get them from authoritative sites that have high domain authority, your rankings are gonna climb. If you're wondering what domain authority is, like what number a certain site has, you can go to ahrefs.com, A-H-R-E-F-S dot com, put in a URL and they'll spit out the domain authority. It's a paid tool.
Why SEO Important ?
A free version of this is Open Site Explorer. If you Google 'Open Site Explorer', it'll take you to moz.com, and you can put in a URL and it'll tell you that site's domain authority. Now that you know how links work in the eyes of Google, if you want to get links the quickest way is to do round up posts. So, go and email every single expert within your space. And I've discussed this in one of my past videos, you can go into the description, click on the link and you can get to the past videos where I talk about round up posts. You can email these people, include them in their round up posts; and since you're asking them one question and you're asking that same question to every expert within the space, it's a great opportunity for them to get free press, which is why they're gonna participate. And then once they all participate, and give you their response, write an amazing looking blog post showcasing all the responses, include their name, link to their website, link to their Twitter or Facebook profile. And then from there, email each of those experts, once you've published the post, and ask them to share it on their favorite social network. By doing this, your blog, your website, is gonna get more traffic. The more eyeballs that see your sight, the higher probability that someone's gonna link back to your site. As you get more backlinks, your rankings will also climb. Thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
What is backlinks? Why backlinks are important?
What is backlinks ?
Today, you're going to learn what backlinks are, whythey're important, how you can check them for free,Let's get started.and how to get more backlinks to your site.Backlinks are links from a page on one websiteSo what are backlinks? to another.to as incoming links or inbound links.From the receiving end, these are often referredTake your pick.And from the linking side, they're called external, outgoing or outbound links.First, it's a factor that helps Google andAnd there are three reasons why they're important. other search engines determine which pagesAnd third, backlinks can help search enginesshould rank the highest for a given query. Second, links to your website can send you more visitors through referral traffic.When a page receives a backlink, it's essentiallydiscover your pages faster. Now, the easiest way to conceptualize backlinks are to think of them as votes.But not all backlinks are created equal.another website vouching for the content on the page. And the more "votes" you get from credible sources, the higher the trust.Google talks about this in their "reasonableAt a basic level, there are two things that separate "good quality backlinks" from the not so great ones. First is topical relevance.If you were to label this topic with a category,surfer" model which explains how the likeliness of a link being clicked relates to its importance. So let's say that you have a web page on "How to make slime."activity blog, the latter would hold more weightit would likely fall under DIY, crafts, or perhaps something for kids. Now, assuming this page had two backlinks, one from a tech blog and another from a kid'sfrom the referring websites and pages.since there's higher topical relevance from the page and domain. Second is authority. Now, when I'm talking about "authority," I'm referring to the quality and quantity of backlinksthe overall strength of a website's link popularity,Google places a score on this called "PageRank." But since these numbers aren't publicly available, third party tools like ours use our own proprietary metrics like Domain Rating, which representsand URL rating, which represents the overall strength of a page's link popularity. To put this into perspective, let's say your slime article got a link from the Huffington Post. This website is highly authoritative with a DR of 92.And assuming topical relevance and everythingAnd let's say it got another link from a lesser known site like KidsKingdom.ca, which has a DR of 17. Based on the definition of Domain Rating, it's fair to say that the Huffington Post is a more "authoritative" domain. else were equal, a link from Huff Post wouldor maybe even zero backlinks.hold more weight than the other one. But let's throw a little twist in here. Let's say that the page from the DR 17 site linking to you had collected hundreds of links from reputable sources, while the article from Huffington Post had only collected a fewand authoritative pages to reap maximum benefits.Then the page-level authority of the KidsKingdom page measured by Ahrefs' URL rating score, would likely be higher, potentially giving it an edge over the Huffington Post link. So as you're looking to get backlinks, you'd ideally want to get them from both topically relevantHere, you can see your pages that have gottenSo how can you check backlinks to your own site? There are two places you can do this for free. The first is Google Search Console If you haven't already set up an account, just go through the verification process to prove that you own the site.

This is when people discover your pages through or word of mouth, and choose to link to your page.And this is usually done through strategies collectivelyCreating backlinks is when you add a link on another website that points to your site.
