    Supplementing a keyword campaign with PPC?

    It will not directly have any effect on your rankings, however, will provide you with relevant visitors which can be converted into contextual backlinks depending on the quality of your website.

    How does premium rate SMS work? Does it just use a different sender number which automatically charges more or is it more complex than that?

    Hi BS, Currently doing some research on adult niches. I'm curious as to what you guys think about affiliate marketing/advertising through adult niche sites. It seems like there's a ton of traffic around, yet the rankings aren't as competitive (do people not have the balls to pursue adult...

    Thanks Meta, I certainly will, expect a ton of pictures :) Thanks mate, I'm beyond excited! Not yet, I think I can get the service I wish to sell completed in time but not the sales site. I'll have to see how it goes. My real goal is in establishing a franchise-related circle on LinkedIn, I...

    How accurate is google keyword planner?

    If I'm honest, it's putting me off quite a bit. I used google keyword planner to show monthly average searches for the last 12 months on keywords such as "*location* cleaner" "*location* maids" "*location* commercial cleaning" and each individual one was getting no more than 100 searches/month...

    Currently over $2 million in annual revenue and how I got here.

    Thanks for the response mate. Another quick question if you don't mind: How do you compete with other local businesses in terms of pricing? Considering the fact that you effectively broker work out to local independent lawn carers/cleaners, surely your pricing would be more as you have to not...

    Currently over $2 million in annual revenue and how I got here.

    Hi local! hoping I am not too late you ask you a quick question! When you create a new local business such as your lawn care, do you entirely rely on search engines for traffic or is a lot of your marketing efforts focused on other areas as well? Thanks mate, wishing you a successful 2015 :)

    Is content really king?

    Hoping I can hook a quick question to your thread mate - Just curious as to how specifically content via blogging for example can convert to traffic. Is it through these individual articles getting indexed by Google for generally long-tail keywords? Then after a while the more quality articles...
