Well, it's done.
After over 2 months of intense research, production and editing, I am extremely proud to tell you that Stomping the Search Engines is finally complete!
WOO HOO!
I just wanted to thank you for your patience. For the last few weeks, I've been getting an average of 20 emails per day asking "YO! What-up wit the Stomper???"
Or something to that effect.
Well...
When I first sat down with Brad, we had our mind set on creating a 3
hour product that folks could download right to their computer.
Have you ever heard the saying "Men plan, God Laughs"?
To make a long story short, by the time I had the first draft of
Stomping the Search Engines complete, it was over 8 hours long. The
download would have been about 250 Megabytes. So much for that idea.
Then we conducted more interviews with some top Search Engine
Professionals and ADDED those interviews to the package. In fact, we
have another 5 and a half hours of interviews.
Then, we wrote a 9-page resource guide.
HA! 9 Pages? My newsletters are longer than that!
So...
The Resource Guide is now nearly 50 pages long.
Then, we had the 8 hours of interviews transcribed. Nearly 400 pages
later, we added that to the package.
Finally, we figured out a way to offer owners of Stomping the Search
Engines a Back Link from a High Page Rank web site for no cost.
It was all set to be released when...
At first, I was going to put the material on Data CD-ROMS. That way,
we'd only need to press 2 CD-ROMs per package.
Funny story here - I don't have to drive much, but the other day, it
was so nice out, I had to just take a cruse through the countryside.
So, I started up my 300 Horsepower Silver Mustang GT, let the motor
warm up, and tried to play one of the Stomping the Search Engines
CD-ROMs in my car's 400 watt Audio CD Player (with sub-woffer).
Have you ever tried to play a CD-ROM in an Audio CD Player?
The result is an ear shattering high-frequency pulse that just about
caused a heart attack. It was so loud that my neighbor across the
street came over to see if I was okay.
Cut to: Stomping the Search Engines is now being release on AUDIO
CDs. So, you can listen to them on the way to that job you might
soon be quitting, or kick back and chill out in you lazy chair and
listen to them with your favorite frosty drink or low-carb snack
food, like Pork Rinds. Yummy.
Let me give you the high points of Stomping the Search Engines.
First, if you're an Online Store Profits subscriber, you get a
discount. The discount is ONLY good through August 3rd. On August
4th, I raise the price. The ONLY reason I'm doing this is because I
am loyal to the people who are on this newsletter list (i.e. YOU).
Also, I want you to understand something - this is not a marketing
gimmick. On August 4th, the product gets released to the general
public They don't get that discount because they haven't had to
endure my bad jokes and poor speeling for the last 3 years. You
have, so BONUS!
And when it does get released, it's going to be huge. About a month
ago, we issued a Press Release about how Stomping the Search Engines
will finally bring effective Search Engine Optimization to
Joe-Average-Web Master. The funny thing is, you'd think that this
has never been talked about before... I mean, the response was
Titanic!
It's being supported by Direct Mail Advertising, Interviews on
Business Talk Radio and Radio America, Seminars at the Learning
Annex in New York City, and will be featured on 2 upcoming
television shows on which Brad, his wife Jen, and I will appear.
Apparently, it's a big deal to make a million dollars a year from a
Home Based Internet Business. Who'd a thunk?
And all I wanted to do was sell swords.
"Men Plan, God Laughs"
Second, there is a case study on the Stomping the Search Engines
site. It's my own. I've always wanted to rank on the first page for
the search phrase "Build Yahoo! Store".
But Nooooo.
I've always wanted to rank on the top 3 pages for the search phrase
"Yahoo! Store".
But Nooooo.
I knew that was going to be a tough one because 2 months ago, I was
on page 32.
As of today, I'm number 2 for "Build Yahoo Store" in Google.
You know who beats me? Yahoo.
Grrr.
That's a search phrase with over 1.4 million competing web sites.
Not bad, but...
I am, as of today; number 8 for the search phrase "Yahoo Store".
That's a search phrase with 6,980,000 competing web sites!!!
That's 6 Million Nine Hundred and Eighty Thousand competing web
sites.
Nearly the price of a single gallon of gas in New Jersey.
When I saw that ranking after only 3 weeks of effort (an hour or so
every few days) - I had a beer. Not a light beer, a Guinness.
I then promptly fell asleep.
I also had 10 other folks put Stomping the Search Engines to the
test. You remember my friends at www.customflix.com? They are the
folks that Burn and Fulfill my Edit Like A Pro Training DVDs.
Well, they were so "Search Engine Challenged" that they didn't rank
anywhere, for anything they wanted, except for their good name.
So, John Geyer, the VP of Marketing put Stomping the Search Engines
to work, and low and behold...
Check them out in Google!
They are:
#2 for DVD on Demand
#7 for DVD Duplication
#2 for DVD Compatibility
#1 for DVD Publishing (over 4 Million competing web sites for that
one).
So, Johns' pretty happy with that. The last email I got said "Holy
##*&(@@&! I'm having your children!".
Ummm...
Another real good example of the power of Stomping the Search
Engines can be seen with a company that most of us know and love -
World Wide Brands and the Drop Ship Source Directory.
Chris Malta got a copy of Stomping the Search Engines because he
wanted to dominate the Search Engines for the phrase "Drop Ship".
And he wasn't messing around. He made no bones about it - "Andy, we
need to be number one". And when a 6ft 8in. former college football
line backer says that...
2 weeks later, guess whose number 1 for the phrase "Drop Ship?" In
fact, the Drop Ship Source Directory is now number 1 AND number 2 in
Google.
And then theirs Brad... OY!
Brad's been hunting for a top position for his wedding favors store
since we started this project. If you recall, Brad's Yahoo! Store
was ranked number 5 for 'wedding favors' in Google about a month
ago. So, I took a screen shot of the page and stuck it on the
Stomping the Search Engines web site.
Of course, Brad wants to make my life difficult (hehe). So, last
week, he goes and moves up 3 spots in Google to the number 2
position.
I decided not to bother updating the screen captures. The moment I
do, he'll probably move up to number 1.
Big Jerk!
:)
So, that's been my life for the last 2 months... Testing,
Compressing, Writing, Editing, Testing some more...
And I am happy to say, this is the absolute BEST product of its
kind. Not only does it work, (That little factor seems to be more
and more absent from other Search Engine Strategies) but it works
fast, it's simple to implement, it's honest, and you know what?
99% of people that have a web site don't know how to do it.
I was surfing around the Internet looking at some Search Engine
Results Pages for some products that Audrey and I are thinking about
selling in another store (We're almost to 50 web sites now).
I was simply amazed at how many top-ranking sites that actually rank
well out of sheer luck. I mean, there are some fabulous keywords
that just about anybody who knows what they are doing could rank in
the top 3 on Google with only a minimal amount of Search Engine
Optimization.
Once you know what to do and how to do it - It's SO liberating!
So, with pride an joy, I wanted to tell you that "The Stomper!" as
it's know around our office, is ready for pre-order. We won't likely
ship them until next week, but if you want to get a discount because
you're a subscriber, now's the time to do it.
I'm sorry that we don't have it ready to fly out the door right now,
and frankly, I haven't even had a chance to put the testimonials on
the web page yet. But the CDs are being shipped to the Fulfillment
center as we speak. So, there's no time like the present.
Ladies and Gentlemen, "The Stomper" is ready.

I'm so convinced that this is the most stunning development in
Search Marketing Education (and apparently, so is the media), that
I'm letting purchasers of Stomping the Search Engines try this for
an entire year.
That means you get a year to put it to use. If it doesn't work, send
it back and I send you a check.
This is so cool! I knew when I released Online Store Profits that it
would change the way people think about eCommerce. Boy did it ever!
But that simply does not compare to the feeling I get when I see
folks using Stomping the Search Engines for less than a month and
ending up on the first page in Google - from nowhere!
It's totally empowering. And I hope you take advantage of the
information inside.

Happy Friday and have a GREAT weekend!
