The Facebook Like Button – Getting Tons of Free Traffic

Everyone is looking for new methods of getting tons of traffic to their blog or website. Now, you can leverage the power of Facebook to accomplish that. There are some serious benefits to doing this and somethings that search engines like Google just won’t like.

Facebook Introduces “Like” button for off Facebook websites

There you have it. Facebook has decided to allow off Facebook sites to include “Like” or “Recommend” buttons on websites, which means you can include this feature on your own blog or website very, very easily.

Just like the image above, someone can easily be reading your blog, decide they like your post and simply “Like” it. By doing so, it will put a link directly to that page on their Facebook wall and recently activity page, just like the image below.

This is great if your viewer has lots of friends that may be interested in that topic.

It also helps build social proof and support as the Badge also lists how many people have also “Liked” or “Recommended” your site or post.

Why Google Will Hate This

The SERPS (Search Engine Page Results) display pages based on content and links, unfortunately, Facebook feeds are not indexed. What that means is that your link from Facebook will not give your site any additional weight when it comes to Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.

What is DOES mean, is that now Facebook will begin to carry more weight from social networking recommendations.  Essentially, Facebook’s own internal search engine could very easily carry more power when it comes to articles, posts and content that does viral.

What About Wall Spam in Facebook?

Since “Liking” a topic or post is completely up to you, no-one else can spam your wall with links from this new out going “Like” feature. That’s great news.

So bottom line is, provide valuable content, make lots of Facebook friends and the new Like feature can be a great benefit to you since your link can now show up on hundreds or thousands of Walls.

How To Add Your Own Like Button

There are plenty of new Wordpress Like button plugins available. They all essentially do exactly the same thing. Since this is all fairly new, they are all carry about the same rating and downloads. You’ll need to experiment your self.

I choose to use the “Wordpress Facebook-Like” plugin and it has been performing fine so far.

If you don’t have a blog and want to include your own recommends or like button on a regular HTML website and know a little bit about HTML tags and code, you can follow the instructions located on the Facebook Site. The Facebook plugins page provides details and a like wizard to make it easy for you to include the Like button and other Facebook widgets on your site.

If You Like It, then “Like” It

Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing Script Software is Open Source – What You Need To Know

It’s been very interesting last few years. When I first got started, the very first marketing package I purchased was Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing. I scrimped and saved every last penny in order to purchase the $1997 course, only to find out that exactly 18 days later, it would be available as a download version for a fraction of the cost. I missed the boat on that one.

Butterfly Marketing Giveaway

A few months back, Mike decided to give away the Butterfly Marketing course. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an incredible course, but several people who spent lots of money on the course were a little upset that it was being given away for free. But, I guess that’s to be expected in the Internet Marketing industry.

Of course, there was an optional continuity program you were offered to get Mike’s newsletter. Either way, it was a good opportunity for many getting started to get a high dollar course.

Butterfly Marketing Script Goes Open Source with PLR

Many of you probably won’t know what that means. Others know exactly what that means. You can get access to the script that was being sold for $2000. You can then use the script any way you like and even put your name on it and call it your own.

Why’s that important? Well, if you’re a programmer or have access to someone with programming skills, you could modify the Butterfly Marketing Script, change the look, add some features, rebrand it, and sell it for a profit.

Sound Good? Sure it is. Will you ever “bottle it” and sell it as your own? Realistically, probably not.

Personally, I like the concept of having access to it if I ever needed it for anything else.

What’s the Catch?

So here’s the catch. Yes, the Butterfly Marketing Script is now open source and with full Private Label Rights. You can download it for Free with absolutely no obligation.

The catch is that if you want support and to be able to learn how the script works, and get access to other developers, you need to pay a fee to join the developer network.

I’ve seen some software moving in this direction, but not much. Do you need to join the developer network? If you’re planning on developing the script further and making changes, I think it would be helpful. As a programmer having been inside the code and use it myself, it can be cumbersome. Having that additional help would be worthwhile.

If you’re not a programmer and have no immediate plans to do anything with the software, just grab your open source copy and hang on it.

How to get Video Indexed in Google

Here’s the follow up to yesterday’s post about getting your videos indexed in the search engines.

NOTE: In the video I mention that the plugin only supports FLV files. It WILL support mp4 files, so you won’t need to worry about converting the format.

Please comment

If you found this video helpful, or have some other questions about video SEO, please post a comment.

Video Marketing Tactics

It’s interesting how things change so quickly with technology and Internet Marketing.

Just a year ago, long form sales letters were all the rage. Everyone needed an expensive copywriter.

Now, video sales letters are popping up all over the place and more and more products are being sold exclusively through video.

The problem is, if you’re an affiliate marketer and not selling a product of your own, you most likely will think that there is no need for video.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Video Marketing for Affiliates

Video marketing has been used by affiliates for a while, but many of them just don’t know how to take advantage of all of the benefits that are available to them.

Yes, sites like Youtube and Facebook are great for posting videos, but if you aren’t providing the right message in your videos then you are missing out.

What to Include in Your Videos

Whether you want to get on camera yourself, create a simple slideshow or something more fancy with complicated video editing software, you need to have the right message.

  • Including an attention grabbing first 10 seconds. This can be an engaging question that get’s the viewer thinking, a comment or shocking statement or eye catching graphic.
  • Build a better body…what I mean here is have some “meat” in your video. Add some content that answers the questions your viewer wants to know more. This could be a handful of statements on a topic, some bullet points, step by step instructions or even more leading questions.
  • Call to Action – Many videos lack this key element. After your viewer has spent their time watching your video message, what do you want them to do. Tell them exactly what you expect of them. That includes “Go to this website for more information”, “For the second half of this video go to..”, “Call 1-800.#### for more information”, “Claim your free download at…”

Getting your Videos Noticed

In the next post, I’m going to cover a few easy and free methods for getting your videos noticed and index online without a lot of effort.

Jeff’s Johnson’s Traffic Voodoo – Update Info

Jeff Johnson has long been the master of getting massive amounts of free traffic to your sites.

I never really fully realized how much of a master until I watched some of his videos the other day and did a little research.

In my last post about how to get massive traffic I posted a screen shot taken from Yahoo Site Explorer. It showed one of Jeff’s sites that has almost 28,000 inbound links. Do you think that may help just a little bit with getting traffic? UMM… YEAH!

Free Traffic Coaching Club Access

Tomorrow, Jeff goes live with Traffic Voodoo, his latest traffic training system. Personally, I thought this was just a renamed version of his existing traffic coaching club. You know, the way many people rehash the same stuff and just rename it to cash in.

Well, Jeff didn’t do that. This is all new stuff and he’s also giving away 3 months of access to his Traffic Coaching Club. Last year I paid $199 a month for access to his club. I learned a ton from it. Enough that I’m able to get some very good rankings in competitive niches just from the stuff he showed in the first 3 months.

Here’s the catch. In order to get the 3 months of access, you have to signup as a Traffic Voodoo customer tomorrow.

You can read about the details here on Jeff’s Traffic Voodoo Giveaway blog

My Modest Traffic Voodoo Bonus

I’ll be honest. There are a ton of great bonuses out there for Traffic Voodoo. Many worth thousands of dollars and giving away a ton books, training, guides and stuff that honestly, you’ll never, ever end up using. Most bonuses are complete fluff and BS.

So, I’ve decided to to something a little different. Something that will actually help you out quite a bit in your search for traffic.

I’ve been using some serious Ninja Style hosting that has really amped up my traffic and helped get me into the search engines fast. No many people know about it and honestly, not many people want to pay for it. (Although I’m not sure why).

So here’s my Traffic Voodoo Bonus. I’m going to hook the first 5 people up that decide to purchase traffic voodoo with this ninja hosting for 6 months.  Plus, I’m going to reveal to you some uber cool video tips that can put your videos in the search engines really fast for your keywords.

So let’s recap:

  • 6 Months Ninja Style hosting
  • Video tips for dominating the search engines for your keywords

Like I said… it’s modest, but it’s something that you can use and has a real cash price tag of $500. Meaning if you were to go out and buy this on your own, you would layout $500 cash for it. No question about that.

Here’s my traffic voodoo link:

If you decide to buy, simple send me an email to jeffczyz.bonus[a-t] gmail . I’ll get you added to the list.

If you decided NOT to buy, no big deal. There’s still plenty of cool stuff on Jeff’s site that can get you going quickly.
