Read below for a page rank trick that’s known by only 1% of the SEO Experts. Below you’ll find a little blurb from a friend of mine, Mike Liebner or Article Underground.

Ok…ok…I hardly know Mike Liebner, but I am a member of Article Underground and I can confidently say that Mike is one of the guys that really over delivers. When you join Article Underground, you’re not left high and dry. It will take you days…dare I say weeks to consume the training he’s made available.

The best part is that as a member of Article Underground….Mike keeps you current with the latest changes at google. He shares his experiments, tests and results. He has blogs that can be used to get your sites indexed.

I really need to get past this feeling of being a whore or used car salesman. I write these short reviews hoping that they can be informative and help you on your online quest for generating an income online. Yet something still bugs me about writing a favorable review all the time or saying “yep, this is the best thing since sliced bread”. You see… I really don’t want to do that and don’t want to be known for doing that!

So….I hope you understand I’d never tell you to purchase something just for a commission. My reputation is worth more to me. In almost everything I review, I have purchase, used or reviewed.

Here’s the bad aspect of Article Underground. You’ll get so many articles, at first you won’t know what to do with them. Trust me though. Save the articles and as you learn how to create minsites, pages and blogs you’ll begin to make good use of all the articles.

Almost forgot….below is the blurb from an email that I just received from Mike about Page Rank. Make sure you read to the bottom to find a secret and little used seo trick.

So – should you be concerned with this PageRank thing??? Well, yes and no… don’t lose sleep over it – but be aware that the more you have of it – relative to what other people have – the easier time you’ll have ranking on more competitive keyword phrases. The “long tail phrases” in general are unaffected by PageRank as very few webmasters target these longer phrases. BUT if you are going after super competitive phrases like “internet marketing” or “search engine optimization” it is extremely important that you have very high PageRank to get ahead of the thousands of other webmasters actively trying to be on top for those phrases.

I think the bottom line message I would like to deliver is – while it does have importance – you should not obsess over how much PR your pages have. As long as you have lots of good high quality text links containing the words you want to rank on, you should do well. Get as many as you can from pages with high PageRank, but now more than ever, we need to take all the links we can get and not discriminate against pages that only have PR 3 or 4… Sure – more PR on the page is better – but you can do other things to make your links count more – such as matching the TITLES of the pages your links are on with the LINK TEXT pointing at your URL. This tactic works regardless of PageRank… sure it may work better if the page has high PR but let’s face it – very few webmasters are doing this secret technique. I’d say less than 1% of the so-called SEO experts know about this trick.

“How to Pull In As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold With Opt-In Lists” is another established working product by Jimmy D. Brown.

The fortune is in the list…..there’s no doubt.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that said, well, I’d already have a fortune!

However “broken-recordish” it may sound, it is a truthful statement. The fortune REALLY IS in the list. Although you can

Fact is, if you possess the knowledge of how to grow and profit from opt-in lists, you can pretty much write your own ticket.

And, if you’ll read the remainder of this article, I’ll pass that knowledge right on to ya.

It comes down to getting folks to do four things…

1. REQUEST. First things first, you need to convince people to “opt-in” to your list. That is, get them to join your list of their own free will.

Usually, this involves giving away a mini-course, report or newsletter from your web site. All you need is..

- An Attention Grabbing Title. (I could have chosen “4 Keys to Successful Email Promotions” for this article, but is that as attention-grabbing as “How to Pull in As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold From Opt-In Lists”?)

- A Handful of Bulleted Benefits. (A short list of 4-6 desirable things subscribers will learn if they join your list. Think “what’s in it for me?”)

- An Opt-In Submission Form. (Your autoresponder system will provide this for you.)

NOTE: The BEST way to get folks to join is to embed the above mentioned items DIRECTLY in the most prominent place you have your site visitors’ attention. Usually this is 3-5 paragraphs into your sales letter or 1/3 of the way into an ezine article.

2. RECEIVE. After visitors to your site have “requested” information by joining your list, it’s critical that your emails be delivered successfully to their inbox. With all of the filters in place (among other hazards) this can be quite a chore.

One thing you’ll want to do for certain is check your SPAM rating to make certain it’s in an acceptable range. Again, most of the better autoresponder services offer this feature for you.

You can also do things like…

- Get your subscribers to “approve” mailings from you.

- Authenticate yourself as a legitimate mailer when you receive a “response challenge” from protection services such as Spam Arrest.

- Use alternative formats of your email messages such as “downloadable email messages” in PDF format.

3. READ. When your emails successfully arrive at the inboxes of your subscribers, another task awaits – getting them to actually open your message and read it.

This is going to depend upon your “subject line”. It is paramount that your subject line be intriguing enough to convince your readers to stop what they are doing and take a look inside.

One way to get this done is to create a swipe file of email subject lines that have convinced YOU to read the messages and then modify those subject lines for your own use.

Ex. I received an email that had the subject line of “This affiliate tip is almost too easy” that caught my attention and forced me to read the associated message.

This subject line could easily be used in a variety of different niches…

- This dieting tip is almost too easy
- This time management tip is almost too easy
- This marriage saving tip is almost too easy

4. RESPOND. When you have convinced your subscribers to open your email message and read its contents, the only remaining “task” is to get them to respond.

You want them to take action. Click a link. Go somewhere. Ultimately, spend money with you.

The only way you’ll be able to do this is follow a simple catch phrase I’ve been teaching for years: “useful, but incomplete”.

It simply means this: your messages must provide content that is useful to your subscribers (otherwise, they’ll unsubscribe faster than you can say “oops”!), but is also “incomplete” in that there is some additional offer that could enhance or maximize that content.

Ex. You might write an article that shares “7 Ways to Profit With Autoresponders” to send to your list. That’s “useful” information to those who are interested in that particular topic. It’s also “incomplete” because they need an autoresponder service to put the information into action. That’s your cue to promote your recommended autoresponder service.

See how it works?

If you want to pad your wallet with profits by using opt-in lists, this is how you do it:

Get people to do these four things

- Request
- Receive
- Read
- Respond

This is a system that has never failed, will never fail. I’ve used it. Others have used it.

Now, it’s your turn to use it.
