Subject: "Sirius Satellite Radio Show Contract - Holy Sh** I DID IT. I got a deposit for a website for a radio show that has a current face book fan page of 22,000+ likes and over 3000 twitter followers. (Talk about Canned Traffic) - I was contracted to build a blog and am doing some SEO work. The pay check is not that great but the point is that I am building a site and got the deal all by my self! Deal # 1 in the hopper. I DON'T BELIEVE IT................... I am using everything I have learned in BTF and applying it to this site. When It launches I'll let you know. Woaaa. Brian"
MY COMMENTS:
Dude! That's awesomeCan't wait to see what you come up with. Now that you have your first deal under your belt, you'll see how easy the next ones are! Once you get some results with this one, build off of it and reach out to other companies and tell them you'll do the same for them. You got this! -Kelly -------------------------------------------

Subject: Adsense Earnings Keep Doubling! "Hey, Since I have yet to publish any success stories here what so ever I thought perhaps now may be a good time. I have analyzed my weekly moving averages of Adsense Earnings and I keep discovering that they just keep doubling. It is almost an exponential increase actually. And this is from me actually decreasing the number of websites I maintain. I wanted to get some order in my life so I thought I would streamline my content network a bit. Because of this I had more time to concentrate on some of my financial websites which have absolutely great earnings per click. I am going after some pretty large keyword terms though and I do have a website with well over 1500 posts on it covering many aspects of the financial sector. So just imagine if you earnings kept doubling every few weeks in Adsense. It would not be too long before you can start to see some pretty hefty adsense checks at the end of the month. Needless to say I am very happy at those results!"
MY COMMENTS:
Richard, I've been waiting for you to hit your tipping point. Seems you might be there? Isn't it cool when you see your income DOUBLE? If you put in the work, you'll start to see results and once you get results, you can adjust accordingly. I'm excited for you man.

Subject: $33k SEO contract plus 10% "Hi Mike & Kelly, I would like to express my extreme appreciation to you guys and what you are doing with this movement. I have landed my first two local contracts and I am putting it all down to the methods being taught from Bring The Fresh. I personally believe that what you guys have taught us is the ability to literally design, build and sell the equivalent of a 'Full Page Ad in the Yellow Pages' I have signed off on a contract that is worth $33k for six months plus 10% on sales produced from promotions. I have been working with a national building inspection franchise outfit and managed to rank their site at number one. Now these hard a** builders were so technophobic and selling the concept of SEO was like trying to sell them something illegal, it was bloody hard but I managed to persuade them to give it a go. To say the least they are now total converts and can't stop raving about Google... and it goes a wee bit like this " Ahh Yeah mate, sh*t, that bloody Google caper's all good!!... Good on Ya mate... just keep doin what your doin!! It is so funny just listening to them now! Anyway I have also been doing their email newsletter, which has been successful, I got them to send out a discount e-voucher to their list, which again was a bit a of hard sell, but we got there in the end and it produced some incredible results. I did some adwords for them as well, set up sniper sites and things like that. They have dropped their Yellow pages ad and now they really want to crank into the online stuff. Exactly one week later I had another company that confirmed for $6,000 for straight SEO. It was just a jaw dropping 2 weeks and still can't believe it has happened. I have been a member since November last year and I knew nothing about SEO. I always felt pretty confident in what I was trying to sell to these guys as I knew that I had some really cool and smart people in the Forum to fall back on if I got stuck. If worse came to worst I could always outsource it, which I am intending to do, when I get really busy, so I can concentrate on other stuff like Launch Jacking. I seriously believe that if anyone is looking to make easy and quick money, if they aren't doing LJ'g, finding a local business is the way to do it and it is good practice in a lot of different ways. Local businesses NEED the help of internet marketers to help them get more visitors, conversions and sales, and all of that is taught right here at BTF. So don't be afraid to go out there and back yourself. I believe we have been taught an amazing skill. Thanks again Mike and Kelly you rock!"
MY COMMENTS:
Wow man $33k? That's INSANE. You're absolutely right… local businesses DO need our help and it just proves that they're willing to pay for it. You've proved how easy it can be to "sell" a local business to use your services to get them more customers. When you show them you got the chops to get their website in front of visitors, the checkbooks come out

Subject: “From nowhere to #6 on Google in 37 hours Kelly and Mike Two words: thank you. I picked up a local SEO client 3 days ago. 2 days ago I built their barebones site with BTF techniques. We are targeting a keyword with 1300 exact searches a month (+/-) with 2 mil. competition. Within 2 hours after buying the domain and posting two articles and one simple round of magic submitter bookmarking, I was at 47 on Google. 5 hours later 29. 24 hours 21. At this writing, we're at 37 hours since our site was created. Laughing at #6. Client literally BLOWN AWAY. So am I. BTF--Be thorough forever with Bring the Fresh. Thanks Gents and to Rob Jones who have given me inspiration, guidance and hope that digging in waist-deep into BTF WILL land you success. -Peter David Gustafson”
MY COMMENTS
Peter thanks for the kind words and great job picking up a local SEO client! See how easy that was?? You can charge them an ongoing monthly fee to keep up with the sites with very minimal work on your part. Congrats on your first client … I know there’s many more to come

“My Thoughts About Panda And Other Google Updates Google Panda update hit many people (including me) and caused various discussions, how things should be done nowadays, but nobody came up with conclusion because it seems that Google algorithm don't have noticeable pattern: Some autoblogs got deindexed.....and some got traffic increase up to 50% Some high quality quality websites lost rankings .....and some even got deindexed just like autoblogs. Some people, who used low quality backlinks (low PR forum profiles and blogs comments) lost rankings.....while others are still blasting websites and say that old methods still work etc. Therefore I decided to share my experience (exclusive to BTF) and let you know, what my various case studies revealed about Google "Top secret Panda Hammer". Keep in mind that it is just my opinion, which was influenced by my practice, so don't just believe me 100% and make changes in your SEO strategy acording it instantly - always do your own test and see what works for you. Before starting to talk about backlinking, I would like to talk about Google search engine business model itself. Before panda it was pretty simple (no matter how complicated some people were trying to explain it): Google wanted to have automatic system, which would work by itself and generate good search results to make most search users happy, so they continue to use it and Google could earn from Adwords ads. They really didn't care about actual website owners. Domain age was one of raking factors, but nobody could stop average 'Bob' to rank for brand terms (as long as he don't make anything stupid, such as blackmail company, redirect to competitor website, etc. as these activities would cause manual review and deindex of that website). What changed after Panda ? Well, Google decided that brand names should have major advantage against unofficial websites and the weight of this SEO factor is big. Of course we don't know the particular numbers, but my guess would be that it have much larger influence to rankings than EMD's, so term 'brand name' is much more difficult than 'brand name product review'. It seems that brand names are detected by their domain and SEO age, I still don't know what is exact number, but my research showed that less than 5 years old brand name websites don't have this kind of advantage and ones with 10+ years old domains have it, so it is probably something between 5 and 10 years. What about backlinking methods ? Increased weight in rankings: Social bookmarks - no matter if they are no-follow or do-follow, for example a simple submissions to ~100 social bookmarking websites with PR1+ have more effect to rankings than standard pyramid campaign with ~10 WEB 2.0 in Tear1 and ~10 000 low quality forum profiles in Tear2. Twitter tweats - I still can't believe that they really included this factor, but, if you have opportunity, try to retweet message with link to your website to ~100 aged twitter accounts and see what happens.... What is more it seems that it is not just temporary boost (although I am not sure 100% about this). Link wheels with low quality backlinks - even a simple linkwheel with one link to another profile (like Tabish is doing with his linkwheel packages) makes huge difference, however you will not get a good ROI if you outsource this backlinking method with low PR profiles, so the best option is to make linkwheels with low quality backlinks on high pagerank (at least PR4) websites: 1. Don't build authority (or any other long term) website on a new domain. Get 10 years old domain (you can get one of these for ~$50 if it don't have any recent SEO history) and Google will treat you in a whole different way, my practical test included massive Xrumer blast + pinging and aged domain (even though it was not used for more than 4 years) got higher rankings after Google dance (just like in earlier days before panda) and new domain got -500 penalty for all keywords almost instantly
2. Use low quality backlinks (such forum profiles and blog comments) only if websites have high pagerank and not spammed badly like some auto approve blogs. Best option is to outsource these backlinks and try to build your own list of websites, which you can use for these kind of backlinks, a big advantage would be if submission process on these websites can't be automated with such softwares as Senuke or Xrumer. 3. Be more creative with on-page SEO and don't just use standard keyword in url/title/description/etc combination. Create two-way connections with websites, which are loved by Google, for example: create video for targeted keyword, embed it to your page and add link on youtube video description to this page. Now if you backlink both video and your page, you will probably get two listings in Google and your money page will have better content in Google eyes

Awesome post man! The people that got hit the worst were the ones who spammed links everywhere. Google is trying to cut down all the garbage out there and the people who try to “game” the system. Stick to the BTF methods and you’ll be way ahead of the game. Write quality articles, vary the anchor text with your profile links, and make sure everything looks natural. If you stick to that plan you’ll be golden.Keep up the good work and keep us all updated on your progress! -Kelly ------------------------------------------- So that wraps up a few of the more interesting and informative posts you may have missed this week inside BTF.
