Working with clients everyday, a rough spot is bound to happen and that is just what happened with me when I took on a client a few weeks ago. Using some so-called "credible" tools by some of the most well-respected names in the industry, I followed all of the rules for setting up capture pages as precisely instructed that contained
affiliate links, mlm links and other resource links.

As soon as I got my client’s domain name and capture pages setup in a campaign not even scheduled to run, one of the account managers from Google contacted me and told me that the domain name that I setup in a campaign has been blacklisted and they will not allow any pages or ads to display from that domain or sub-domain. Imagine! The campaign isn’t even running yet. In fact, it was only setup for the purpose of illustration in a training video that I made. There was no intention of ever running that campaign, yet Google blocked me (my client) before I ever got started.

Up until about 30 days ago, having a website based on product reviews or having a capture page that refers to making money online via affiliate or network marketing has just gotten tougher via the heavyweight of the Google Slap. Now more than ever, if you are marketing online, it is time to take a new approach to all of the obsolete information that teaches you methods that are no longer approved by Google. It is time to implement a new business format that puts you in control of talking to your customer from start to finish. There is more than one way to skin a cat! (No harm intended to the poor cat.)

Google’s motives for policing multi-level marketing landing pages and affiliate marketers has to do with rehashed information from marketers that are out to make a quick buck at your expense. These digital leeches usually do not create original content that demonstrates area of expertise and experience. Moreover, their review given of any product or service offer is for the benefit of profiting. Even worse, they are dispensing "advice," oftentimes, on services they themselves don’t use or haven’t used themselves.

Google is tired of the middleman swooping in to take a piece of the action without having a real business asset or setup of a blog site that is teeming with original content that shows the Google watchdogs that they are in it for the long haul. They want to know that you are a trusted business offering solid services. They want to know that you are well-established in your business and that the traffic they send your way will get what they were searching for without mishap or incident. Fact is, Google no longer likes affiliate or MLM links inserted into pages. I’m sure they will start policing cloaked links in the near future, as well, which will contribute to the quality score of your pages and whether visibility will be high—or not. If you are using Adwords to drive leads, your best assurance against extinction on the Internet is to make sure that the products and services are business-based. This becomes even more important when you are driving leads in Google Places, however, that’s another article. Affiliate and Network Marketers will have to employ an approach somewhat off the beaten path that increases the closing probability of that prospect. Google wants all of the riff-raff swept and cleaned up and taken to the dumpster. They will keep implementing improvements and safeguards to ensure that. Either get legit or become extinct and the Internet is the next alternative to giving Corporate America the boot when it comes to your livelihood.

What’s the next step? There is always a workaround, of course! The most important activity you can do in setting up your blog and landing pages is to build a list from every Social Media (SM) source you have. Get people from every SM network funneled into an autoresponder so that you can start communicating with your list and taking control of the sale. From that list, of course, comes building the relation and demonstration of your expertise and value. It is then that you can direct your prospects through the sales process—without Google’s meddling.

Your autoresponder messages could lead to a webinar, with either you or one your sponsor/partner as the presenter. Give even more value and information and close sales at the end of the webinar. There are many methods you can use to get around the many restrictions imposed by Google watchdogs. It is this imposition that has lead to numerous start-ups of other PPC and PPV networks that understands the affiliate and Network Marketer and caters to the ones that adds expertise and value. Another article series. The point is becoming astute in educating yourself through taking marketing courses and seminars that teaches you the pitfalls of Internet Marketing.

Finally, after getting a whole list of do’s and don’ts from Google on what to do to unblock my client’s domain, submissive compliance to all of the nit-picky legalistic rules of the Google police had me back in business in no time.

Just remember doing it the way Google wants will get your blog and capture pages more exposure as you understand exactly what to do to stay on top of things.

Don’t stay stuck in a time-warp of misinformation and doing things that no longer work. Get in the know and get connected with those that can show you the up-to-the-minute trends of Internet Marketing and the proper tools that will leverage your outcome.

Toast to your success!

Got a question or a comment? Chat with me on my blog at the end of this article.

It seems like the fanfare of the New Year 2012 has settled in and it is back to the same grind, for many of you. Especially the daily grind of Facebook. The rules are confusing and are constantly changing. Just about the time you think you have Facebook mastered, they pull the rug out from under your feet and you have to break in a whole new system—uh-gin! Making a proper friend request is no doubt the same, since there are a couple of annoyances that Facebook still needs to improve if they want to go about throwing many changes at us. A peripheral rant there.

However, getting penalized from Facebook for not knowing how to make a proper friend request is not good for business or camaraderie among your Facebook friends. It is a definite party-killer and there is a way to turn that around.

It is a given that you would review the profile of any potential friend that you want to connect with on Facebook. When you do, make sure that you find something of true common interest and send a message accordingly. For instance, if you see on a potential friend’s info tab that they like, “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle, then send a message that says something to the effect of the following:

“Hi Jane,
I see that you like “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle and I thought it was an excellent read.
If I may, I would love to know any perspective and enlightenment you have gained from reading this
awesome book.

This is a friend request. Let’s connect.
Yours,
Jae Smith”

Most of the time, when your potential friend see that you took the time to learn a little factoid about them, they are not going to report you to the Facebook gods or block you. They will more than likely take pleasure in chatting with you about something that they love to talk about.

This is not a segue into offering your widgets, biz opps or services. If subject comes up, great. If not, take a genuine interest in getting to know your new friend and also, make sure you put yourself out there and let them get to know you too. Post, “like” and interact with your friends. Don’t make the mistake of posting your link on their wall. Make sure that if you do post on a friend’s wall, it is something to edify everyone that is in the same collective friend base.

Cordial courtesy goes a long way. It shows that you are professional, that you know what you are doing and that you abide by the Golden Rules. If you are on Facebook for business, friendship and trust are the two components that you have to implement daily. Demonstrate your area of expertise by writing notes or making effective posts. Talk to your friends regularly and build a relationship with them. Don’t make the mistake of “over branding” yourself or your company. People rarely respond when everything you post is about business. People are at a social event. Let’s partay! Show something cute that your little one did. Show pictures of your travels or post something that is meaningful to you and others. Mix business in every once in a while to keep the party on an even keel.

Another aspect is the numbers. People are fascinated by big numbers. I learned that having 5056 friends on Facebook means nothing if those friends are not interactive with your posts. Even worse, they are responding the wrong way or inappropriately once again, demonstrating no interest in what you are doing.

There is a quota of 5000 friends that any Facebook account is allowed to reach. Sometimes, you can make it just under and Facebook won’t allow requests to be accepted. You can even surpass that quota a slight bit if you make a friend request yourself while no one can make a request of you. Whatever ceiling the Facebook gods decide to halt you at, each space of that quota is precious, so why remain connected to that friend if they are not showing interest in what you are doing?

Working on building rapport is what will lead to the conversions that you want for your business. There is no silver bullet. It takes time with consistency and practice. Make sure you get rid of the dead weight of no activity and replace those precious spots with people who are interested in talking to you through the cause of their activity. That is how trust is born. That is how business grows. That’s how conversions are made.

When you have everyone’s consensus in what you are doing while providing something of value to them, your numbers will grow steadily and you will see the kind of results you want.

Finally, if you want to make a friend request and you see that their Facebook account is completely under guard “Fort Knox-style,” don’t touch it with a 10-foot pole. There is a reason that potential friend doesn’t want to be petitioned for a request. When you see accounts under lock and key, that’s a significant clue not to disturb. If you get a warning that says, “Do not send a friend request unless you know this person.” Detour and get a potential friend who wants to be your friend. If you continue to pursue, you are better off sending a message to your ivory tower potential friend rather than sending a friend request, that is, if it is possible or permissible.

Although it is safe to request 20-30 friends per day on Facebook, I say fly under the radar and make 10-15 friend requests per day. Caution is the goal here. Violating the terms of Facebook is a sure way to end up opening another Facebook account and having to start all over again.

Making connections is easy. It’s a matter of propriety, finesse and knowing interpersonal communication.

Toast to your success!

P.S. Don’t squander this turning-point moment…being “busy” is no excuse for failing to meet your destiny and goals. Make the time to at least watch this video. http://www.everythingisenergy.com/newyou

P.P.S. They already have about 10,000 people who’ve jumped in to make this year the most powerful yet. Don’t miss out…it’ll be well-worth every second! http://www.everythingisenergy.com/newyou

It is amazing that over 75,000 people showed up in attendance worldwide at the Everything is Energy World Summit. Day One was filled with anticipation and excitement so much that the servers crashed but were soon back up and running again. The first segment was strong and insightful as Energy expert Alexander Loyd begins with a shocking decscription of having to deal with a medical condition in his own life and the ordeal that he and his wife endured which finally lead up to a miraculous healing based on quantum physics or Einstein’s “action at a distance” theory. He called it “The Science and Substance of Miracle Healings” and he also referred to it as “The Healing Code.”

The idea is to open yourself up to new learning and ideas. Energy practice is on the cutting edge of mainstream medicine. The use and practice of energy involves exercises that Alex Loyd takes you through, not in the way of just illustration, but experiential meditations that begins with identifying the chief problem that is currently agitating you the most and then focusing on each adversity in your life using a rating scale of 1-through-10 in order to measure the intensity of your personal adversity with 10″ being the highest indicator and “0″ being the lowest, or non-existent.

Usually, the adversity in and of itself has a primary negative emotion strongly associated with it , but also has accompanying secondary emotions. Alex encourages you to meditate on each emotion one by one and assigning to it a rating of intensity from 1-10.

When you are done with each rating, scan your mind again for earlier memories that are not necessarily the same but yet triggered similar emotions and then rate those emotions from 1-10. The key here is to identify a pattern that really begins at the cellular level.

Just to take a side note, co-host, David Morelli, spoke about how many diseases began from a non-physical force but yet it is treated physically as a symptom without ever getting to the source. That is in part, what Energy practice is all about. It is not just for eliminating illness but financial stresses and other life issues as well. It is about editing the source code that brought about such adverse manifestation and replacing it with a new record or program that will create the desired effect that you want. This is a way to take your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being into your own hands rather than being subject to your circumstances at present.

Returning back to the exercise. Alex describes four energy centers that are activated by pointing all fingers towards those areas in a directional manner. The first healing center is called the bridge and is the space located between the brows. The second healing center is the Adam’s apple. The third one is located at the back part of the jawbone, just under the earlobe. The fourth one is at
both temples of the head.

Begin by bringing all 10 fingers to a point of each hand and then pointing them at the bridge area without touching. Now focus on loving, positive memories for one or two minutes. Make your body is relax completely. Let the feelings of love and other secondary positve feelings begin to flow. Feel the love and the positve emotions. Next move both hands in a straight line from bridge and point all 10 fingers towards the Adam’s apple and hover there for one or two minutes focusing on the same positive feelings of love. Move both hands towards each jawbone on either side of the head and point all five fingers of each hand toward the jawbone and hover there for one or two minutes focusing on positive love emotions. Next, move the hands up to the temples with all five fingers pointing and hovering just away from the temples. Again, focus on loving memories that has with it good emotions.

Go through this rotation two the three more times and do it daily. When I followed through each directive, I could feel the energy move through my body. Within minutes, certain physical symptoms that were associated with adverse memories disappeared. I can’t wait to see even better results from my next session. For me, this is transformation. This is a new tool that I will be incorporating into my
life and look forward to seeing the benefits of it and telling everyone about it.

Until then, stay tuned for Day 2 of Everything is Energy World Summit. It began with awesomeness and shall continue on strong. Day 1 event will be available until 7 EST this evenong so take an hour out of your day and listen to this awesome event. Day 2 will begin at 8 EST tonight.
