Test This: 6 of the Top 10 Google Results – in 15 minutes?
Hey Guys
While we've been busy here at StomperHQ rolling out SMARTS for our members, we wanted to make sure and keep you in the loop when we come across any killer USABLE strategies we can tell you about.
You've seen our videos, and I think we've clearly demonstrated how using video and social marketing together can be a deadly 1-2 combination. Here's something you might NOT know.
What if I told you that by combining the power of video and social marketing in a measured, repeatable way, you could get MULTIPLE listings on the Search Engines for your content?
Now, I'm NOT talking about the indented listings we covered in the Going Natural 2.0 series. This is a method to get your content onto multiple sites, and get them all ranked for your keywords – securing 2, 4, 6 – And Yeah, even all 10 listings on the front page of the SERPs (just like we did for the phrase "Going Natural 2.0″)!
Let me walk you through a case study on this method, and then I'm going to give you the full, step-by-step rundown on how to do this yourself, so get comfy, maybe get yourself a cup of tea (if that's your thing). Kick off your shoes, and let's get started.
Back in November of last year, Jeff Johnson was holding a workshop for his GetMoreTraffic course, and he wanted to demonstrate the POWER that video and social marketing can have, so he did a LIVE challenge for all the attendees.
Here's what they did:
1. Jeff picked out a product to promote. In this case, he chose the Casio ex-z1080 digital camera. Jeff already has a digital camera review blog, so this was the perfect choice for this demo – but trust me – this will work for anything.
2. Jeff had his assistant show a quick video of Jeff, right at the workshop, using the digital camera he was promoting. Nothing fancy, just a quick one take review on the camera, why it was cool, and where to find his blog for more info.
3. Jeff's assistant used a mass video uploader to put the video on YouTube and 10 other video sites. You can do this manually for free, but we recommend a paid service like HeySpread or Traffic Geyser – it will save you a LOT of time and effort.
4. He posted the YouTube video directly to his camera review blog.
5. He took the blog post URL and submitted it to between 10 and 20 different Social Bookmarking sites using the free tool at SocialMarker.
6. Here's where the "magic" happens, okay? He then took the actual video pages themselves (YouTube, MySpace, etc.) and bookmarked THOSE pages as well, again using the SocialMarker tool. Just like before, he picked between 10-20 of the sites available on that service and bookmarked each video page.
7. That's it! Not even 7 whole steps!
So what were the results of this experiment? Care to guess?
Within 24 hours of completing the project, Jeff got 6 of the top 10 spots in Google for his target phrase "Casio ex-z1080 10.1 mp digital camera"! That's a PERFECT long-tail phrase that will pull in comparison shoppers and buyers, and he's DOMINATING the search results. He's set himself up as the AUTHORITY on that camera, and he's engaging his visitors with a dynamic video review.
This IS Internet Marketing 2.0.
6 Simple Steps – and within HOURS – 6 of the top 10 listings on Google. Just… Wow.
Now, here's what's important to note. If you go and check out that search term now, you'll see that the video pages from YouTube and GoFish are STILL RANKING on the first page with 3 results. Jeff hasn't touched those pages since the video was uploaded in November.
The blog posts and the blog post listings on the social bookmarking sites have all fallen out of the Top 10 by now though. This is why step 6 is so important. Use video WHENEVER possible, and bookmark the video pages on the video sites themselves in addition to your own blog post. That's the "magic" key to this strategy.
If you want to continue to dominate the SERPS for your niche terms, simply keep adding new videos, and keep bookmarking them as above. The new ones will "replace" the old ones as they drop out of the SERPS and you'll have an easy time of maintaining your search engine real estate.
Jeff's assistant did this ENTIRE project in 15 minutes, INCLUDING shooting the video! 15 minutes of work – 6 top 10 listings for the SAME TERM. It boggles the mind.
Now, like we said before, Jeff did this demo as part of a live workshop for his GetMoreTraffic Blueprint course, which we told you about last year. Of course, when we heard about Jeff's live demo of this technique, we had to get his permission to tell you about it. We're all about video, and with SMARTS going on, we're all about social marketing. This is the exact kind of stuff we used for the SMARTS launch, and this is the kind of stuff we've been teaching our members how to do as well.
Jeff knows his stuff, or else I wouldn't share his techniques with you. Now, Jeff specializes mostly in actual coaching when he teaches this stuff, but unfortunately, his programs are currently all full and he's not taking on any more students at this time.
However, Jeff currently has a package available that is essentially 3 years of his coaching, all packaged together in a home-study course and membership site. If you didn't have the opportunity to participate in SMARTS with us, or if you want MULTIPLE traffic strategies (not just Social Marketing) then there's probably no better resource available right now. It's only available until next Tuesday (2-19-08) but you can give it a test drive F'ree for 30 days.
Check out the "Best of Jeff Johnson's Coaching" here.
Even if you don't want to get more of Jeff's "blueprints" like the one above, you're still going to want to keep your eyes peeled right here.
See, Jeff's a good friend and we talk a lot about new strategies and tactics all the time. When I told him I was going to be telling you about one of his "blueprints" from his closed-door coaching sessions, he agreed to sit down with me and give me some ADVANCED tips for this strategy to ensure HIGHER rankings that last LONGER.
However, I think I've already given you plenty to work with for now, and I want to save up those strategies for our next newsletter.
Don't worry though, we'll have that out to you LATER THIS WEEK! Do yourself and your business a favor and put this technique to work now. You have 15 minutes to try it don't you?
See you again in a few days!
~AJ
P.S. If you try this out and have some success, or even if you just like the technique, please leave a comment here on the blog and let us know! Talk again soon!
P.P.S. And again, if you want more great strategies from Jeff, you can't beat this "Best of Jeff Johnson's Coaching" package. The only other people who have ALL this content from Jeff had to collect it over the past 3 years. You can get it all at once, and take it all in at your own pace.
Great job it sounds like a bum marketing technique you just go after low competition keyword phrases and you can dominate the search engines bringing yourself some nice free targeted traffic. And if there harder to rank for optimize your articles with seo, bookmark with social networking sites like you did also worked wonders as you can attest to.
Sounds like your plan was a real winner now just wait for the sales to roll in! Nice post, Jason …
Excellent. I use socialmarker a lot. It is easy to use, but it does seem to have some glitches.
This is mind blowing for real. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing such a valuable info with us for free
Great tips. Time is very small for optimization
I started looking at your blog recently, and wondering how much information is there for me to grasp. I thank for sharing all this for just FREE.
Nice read! I would also like to try this trick. But I am not good at producing video.
But hey, I can create pages and bookmark it. This may help me little.
Thank you for sharing this with us
Wow,Great..just few steps can ranked up 6th in google..impressed..Thanks for the info i guess i will just try it now=)…

Dear AJ & Team Stomper,
Simply incredible! I just watched the SMARTS video for the first time and was completely blown away. Really! And, of course, I downloaded the accompanying FR*E Report and can't wait to read it. In fact, that is precisely what I'm about to do, but I wanted to pop over here and leave a comment first. Great content, as usual! You guys totally ROCK! Or should I say, "STOMP"! (LOL)
Best Regards,
Michael
I've recently had the chance to read through some of the top selling internet marketing courses being sold, and honestly, I've learned more about seo from these free stompernet videos than all of the paid courses combined.
If Stompernet isn't a case of "moving the free line" I don't know what is.
The value they provide in the videos make you want their products even more. Nice problem to have.
Wow, that is truly amazing, I'll have to bookmark it and try it out sometime
WOW! I feel like I have been wasting sooo much time. With over 100 video's and nothing to show for it. I am embarrassed. Well' I think I just learned something valuable today. very valuable. Thank you! I will be implementing this shortly. Like very shortly!
Thank Jeff and AJ for this simple and clear system. I have been doing similar strategies but perhaps not long tailed enough keywords and overkills on links to fast. I also notice the search result listings don't stay for long when you use social bookmarking methods like this.
Great stuff, I did do an experiment in the health & beauty product, and last checked I was ranked for #1 and #8 on Google in a day.. It was probably within 2 hours but wasn't really checking.. Whats kool is I didn't submit this 1 site to no more than 2 social sites and bookmarks. So I guess if I get off my a$% and do some real work, just imagine the potential…. lol!!
thanks,
guys (former stompernet member)
Impressive, will it work in any market. Even one that is over saturated like web hosting?
That would be the real test.
I am going to take the time this week to try it out.
Any suggestions or tips for this market place would be greatly appreciated.
Edward
I'd just like to say a BIG 'thankyou' for taking the time to share your valuable knowlege with those of us still wading in the mud of the trenches.
It's very much appreciated.
Pete.
Hey Andy,
Ya, it seriously is as easy as that. I've been doing this for a little over a month now in one of my niches and have seen some awesome results.
Within prob. 4 hours I had around 5 or 6 of the top 10 in google for the name of the product. It's a little over a month after I did my first one, and I still have 3 top spots for the name of the product (very popular software maker… and popular software).
Anyhow, the links led back to my in-depth video review.
It took a day or so for commissions to start coming in… but with just this one review in a relatively small market… with about 30 minutes work… I've made a little over $249 in commissions from this product.
A few days later I did it with another product in the same market… about 30-40 minutes work… I've made $147 in commissions on that one in the last couple weeks.
I've been pumping out at least 2 or 3 of these every week… some more profitable than others.
Anyhow, I can provide screen shots and proof if you want… and I'd love to be a case study if you want.
Take it easy and keep up the good work! I didn't join SMARTS (back then the bank account didn't let me), but I figured things out from your free postings (and a few other sources)… so your free stuff rocks and works! I can't imagine how well your paid programs do.
Anyhow, chat w/ you soon.

I noticed the video was uploaded on 12/12/07 and from then till now (2/12/08) has 1,403 views.
Since this is used as an example of this technique, no doubt some, if not many, of these views are looking at the sample.
I was curious to see how this technique works with some other long tail key words that related to this item, so for the long tail "casio exilim ex-z1080 camera" the video places 6th in google which should produce more hits at least according to word tracker.
It would be great to hear some stats of past uses that were not used as examples to get an idea of how much traffic could be expected from a technique like this.
Cheers!
Thats' some pretty pointers, I was thinking of doing something similar but that would cause the social bookmarking sites to check me off as spam. Unless you have 3 or more accounts setup. I know after 4 bookmarks in a single day, most bookmarking sites will flag you.
But none the less is still good information for those who are just getting started with social marketing.
Thanx guys for always putting out good content!!
