7 Serious Salescopy SEO Slip-Ups

by Mark Mason on August 23, 2010

Boy, that is a mouth full.

As an affiliate marketer, one of the things that you need to be able to do is write good pre-sales copy with great SEO properties.  This is hard to do sometimes, but it can make or break your affiliate campaigns when you are counting on search engine traffic.  It's so important (and so misunderstood -- especially by beginners), I felt like we should talk about it here.

I was discussing this with my friend Karon Thackston, and she could not agree more.  Now make no mistake, Karon is a famous SEO copywriter.    If you know anything about Karon, you understand that she's been writing high-ranking and converting copy for clients including Gorton's Seafood and the American Boating Association for over 25 years.    I talked Karon into offering a free hour-long teleclass on SEO copywriting exclusively for you (people on my list).

I know I sound like a broken record, but this deserves to be repeated.  If you want visitors to your site, you need to make sure that Google knows what your site is about, and you need to have backlinks.  Period.

It’s really that simple.  Aside from making sure that your page is targeted at a keyword, link building is the most important step in search engine optimization. I am amazed at how many people will build a website, and then fail to take the time to promote it.

See, when you build backlinks to your site, the site becomes stronger, and the search engines (especially Google) will find it more easily. Read the Full Article →

by Mark E. Mason November 24, 2008
