I just finished reading a free ebook by viral marketing expert, Harvey Segal that offers a stunning solution to my biggest headache since I started marketing online a few years back: the problem of attaining and staying in the top rankings in Google.
Let’s face it, a top ranking in Google for a good keyword is unbeatable for the free traffic it will send your way!
And if the success or failure of your online business depends precariously on the whims of the search engines, you’ll really have sleepless nights… and I often do - or did until now!
However, Harvey Segal doesn’t try to come up with secret SEO strategies to help you keep your rankings. In fact, his ebook could easily have been titled “Goodbye To Google!” because that’s Harvey’s underlying message… Stop fretting about the Search Engines!
Focus instead on traffic generation strategies which will never let you down - and his viral marketing book shows you exactly what these are and how to implement them.
In this free page-turner Harvey has managed to pile one unique idea on top of the next, covering a wide variety of topics starting with his controversial stance on search engines, and moving on to…
- Getting traffic to your site
- Preselling with free ebooks
- Preselling with articles
- Autoresponders and follow up campaigns
- Ad tracking
- Affiliate marketing
- ClickBank
- Viral marketing
- PDF book creation
- Ebook rebranding
- Creating niche sites
- Resale rights
But the best is kept till last: the mind boggling Chapter 5: dubbed the greatest viral marketing idea of all time!
See for yourself…
And yes, Harvey’s not asking a dime for this report, not even your e-mail address.
Read it now…

If you want to make money blogging online, gathering the e-mail addresses of your visitors is one of your most important jobs. By building this list of people interested in what you have to offer, you will have a constant source of prospects ready to purchase your products.
The term ’squeeze page’ refers to a page your visitors land on, where you gather their contact information, such as a name and e-mail address. A serious squeeze page often offers visitors no other options, other than subscribing, or leaving the page.
The squeeze page isn’t in itself a page you use to make money blogging. It is just the first online step in your list building program. However, some marketers may combine a sales page and a squeeze page.
How do you get your visitors to part with their contact information? The squeeze page will offer them some kind of incentive to do this, such as a free ebook, video or exclusive access to a special section on your website.
You might give them a message such as “Get your free ebook. Download the ‘7 Secrets To Fast Fat Loss’ right now. Please enter your name and e-mail address for immediate access to your free ebook”. Usually you will include an enticing graphic of the ebook cover.
Both of you win in the process. They get some valuable information and you add one more name to your double optin list. You are in effect ’squeezing’ them to give you their details.
In many instances, you will only begin to make real money blogging online if you have succeeded in building a substantial double opt in list. This takes time, so the earlier you get the process going, the better.
Also make sure that you have a system in place to create professional-looking squeeze pages and automated follow-up e-mails to your list. I have found Derrick VanDyke’s system to be very effective. You can see my squeeze page and learn how it works by subscribing here (the free ebook you will get explains the system in detail).
