I'm actually surprised by how few of my friends and colleagues take advantage of Chrome extensions that can help them with their marketing and traffic generation. Today I'm going to share nine amazing Google Chrome extensions that will improve your traffic. RESOURCES & LINKS: ____________________________________________

____________________________________________ The first Chrome extension I have for you is SEOquake. This is a great tool for understanding what your competition is ranking for in the organic search results. It also gives you a great idea as to what is displayed, and what paid ads your competitors are running, and which keywords they're targeting. Now the second Chrome extension I have for you is a MozBar. It provides details like LinkedIn analysis, domain authority. It also has a page analysis feature that allows you to get an overview of the title, the description, and even the schema.org markup of a page. And they have many more page level features as well. They also have link metrics and that shows you page authority, domain authority, which I already mentioned, and the number of linking root domains to any given page that you're searching. The third Chrome extension is a BuzzStream Buzzmarker. It's an amazing tool for outreach, networking, guest posting and link building. This will crawl any site that you visit and pull out the contact details for the people associated with the site. This will help you find editors, reporters, content marketers. The next extension, TubeBuddy. Amazing extension for your video marketing strategy. When you're viewing any video on YouTube, it'll show you the tags, the view counts, and so much more. Even better, when you upload your own video, it'll help suggest tags to you and help you optimize the metadata associated with the video that you just uploaded. The fifth extension I have for you is Buffer. This is great for personal branding and growing your authority as you can seamlessly post content to your followers as you browse and read your favorite blogs. A lot of people are like, "Oh, I've got to update my Twitter profile, my Facebook. I got to keep going to all these platforms and manually put in content." Wouldn't it just be easier if you're just reading content, you click a button and boom, you can schedule it for later, and it goes into your promotional calendar? The sixth extension I have for you is Grammarly. It's actually my favorite extension period on Chrome altogether. The reason I love this is when I'm doing marketing based emails, or any work, and I do a ton through my email inbox, or even I'm writing a blog post in WordPress, it'll tell me any spelling mistakes. Now, Grammarly does have a paid version as well. I use a free one. The seventh extension that you've got to check out is BuzzSumo. It's an amazing extension for content creators. It'll give you idea of what content works in your niche. For example, any page you visit, let's say a competitor site, it'll tell you the social media engagement, how many social shares, unique pages and other items like that, and even backlinks. It helps you target in real time what type of content you should be producing versus what kind of content you shouldn't be producing. The eight Chrome extension I have for you is Save to Pocket. This is super important in a role where there's endless amount of information. It's easy to get distracted while researching for your next article or building out your content strategy. Having a browser with dozens of tabs open can be distracting and hurt your productivity. And last but not least, a Chrome extension that you should use is Check My Links. This tool is essential for a link building strategy. It'll show you which links are working properly and which ones are broken for any page that you visit. Broken links is one of the easiest and simplest ways to convince people to link to you, and this extension will help you find all those broken link opportunities. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital @ https://neilpateldigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips.

7 Advanced Link Building Tactics That Skyrocket Rankings
7 Advanced Link Building Tactics That Skyrocket Rankings | I've talked about link building for many years. You all know that if you want to rank on Google, you need to build links. Well, you can't buy them. Today I'm going to share seven advanced link building tactics that'll skyrocket your rankings. RESOURCES & LINKS: ____________________________________________
Fiverr – https://www.fiverr.com
Google Alerts – https://www.google.com/alerts
BuzzSumo – https://buzzsumo.com/
SEMrush – https://www.semrush.com
Tony Robbins – https://www.tonyrobbins.com/
____________________________________________ The first tip I have for you is run an industry survey. Contact people in your industry, CEOs, executives, thought leaders. Tell them you're running a survey about a hot topic in your industry. Ask them the questions. Then from there, compile the results. Send them your findings and ask them what they think. Now I want you to produce really pretty graphs. The second tip I have for you, host a live event or a virtual summit. So pick a really cool and specific topic theme for your event. If you don't have a niche, you'll find that it won't work well. Now you want to package it in a way that makes it really interesting for people to attend. And the more people you get to email, the more of audience you'll have attended the event. And where you build the most amount of links is having a page dedicated with all the recordings, the cheat sheets, PDFs, courses. All that stuff that people can download, make a really cool pretty landing page, email all the attendees. Not only will they share it, but you'll also find that a lot of them will link to it, and it's a great way to build links. The third link building tip I have for you is case studies and ego bait. Have you noticed that when you pick a case study and you create something that's super detailed and it breaks down how someone can do something step by steps such as a case study on how someone improved their conversion rates or traffic, but not just like, hey, this company increased it, and we did some SEO and content marketing and social media marketing. The fourth tactic is leveraging maps. Maps are the new infographics. Glen Allsopp figured this out. People love to see how stuff is distributed throughout the world. A good example of this is there are maps that show all the shipping containers that are in the ocean at the same time. The fifth strategy is leveraging the Moving Man method, and this tactic is by Brian Dean. You hear about a website in your industry, they have a ton of backlinks, they're rebranding, they're migrating to a new domain name. Do a backlink analysis on their website. Find its most linked content pieces and create a better or equivalent version of them. By the time your competitor migrates to a new domain, hit up everyone who's still linking to the old outdated URL and let them know these pages no longer exist. Tell them that you have a piece that's equivalent or better and suggest that they link back to you. It's a great simple way to get backlinks. The sixth strategy, do a podcast tour. Search for podcasts that have had guests in the same industry as you. You'll find a lot of podcasts that host interviews with these people who serve the same audience as you. Hit them up and offer to do an interview on a specific topic that could be valuable to their audience. And when you do a podcast tour, and you hit up 15, 20, 30 of these podcasters, and you get on a handful of them, all of them will link back to your website. The seventh advanced way is to find unlinked mentions of your brand. People who already mention your brand, your name are likely to link to your website. Monitor your brand through Google Alerts, BuzzSumo, and SEMrush. Actively search for them on Google. Just use quotation marks in the search if your brand has more than one word. When you do this, you'll see everyone who's mentioned you. Heck, if they link out to you in a brand mention and you think that it'd be more relevant if they include a keyword, pitch them on it. You'll find not only that you'll get a link, but you'll get a link with a richer anchor text which will help boost your rankings. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital @ https://neilpateldigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips.

How to do SEO on a One Page Website
How to do SEO on a One Page Website | Not everyone wants a multi-page website. If you're a digital marketer, you've already worked with a company or consulted with people who just have one-page websites, and in many cases, they refuse to change because they're like, "What's wrong with my one-page website? I have everything here that I need." And yeah, multi-page websites are clearly better when it comes to succeeding with SEO, but that doesn't mean you can't do well with a one-page website. Today I'm going to break down how to do SEO on a one-page website RESOURCES & LINKS: ____________________________________________
Ubersuggest – http://ubersuggest.org
ClickFlow – https://www.clickflow.com/
____________________________________________ The first thing you want to do is optimize each section of your page. So with your website you have a header area, you have the body with a lot of content, you even have a footer area. You want to make sure you're optimizing each and every single space. Now, even if you only have a one-page website, you may want to consider getting it longer and longer. And here's what I mean. When you're optimizing your page, you want to make sure you're using subheadings in each section, because in these subheadings you can use h1 tags, h2 tags, h3 headings. This will help you add keywords and make it easier for people to skim your site as well. You also want to group together keywords that are in specific sections. So as I mentioned, how you want to optimize each section of the page. Well, one section could be on, I don't know, dog food. Another section could be on cat food. Another section could be on shipping and getting dog food to your door and getting it on a regular basis, so that way you don't have to keep manually reordering it. But look to see what keywords are popular. And you can use tools like Ubersuggest for that. It'll show you all the other variations in long-tail phrases of that term. And you want to make sure that you add it within each section. The second tip I have for you is the “land and expand” approach. When you do SEO for a one-page website, you'll find that you'll rank for some terms and you won't rank for others that you may want to rank for. And there's a whole long list of terms that you wish you could rank for, but you have a one-page website and we need to be realistic. So how can you ensure that you're putting the best keywords in the page that only drives conversions, but is going to make you the most amount of traffic as well, right? So it's about revenue and it's about traffic. If you feel those terms are related to your product and service and they can drive conversions, what I would recommend that you do is you consider adjusting your page to include those terms. That way you're putting the most valuable terms on the page to rank higher. You include those terms in your title tag, you include those terms within your meta-description. Now the third thing that you can consider doing if you're going to have a one-page website is to make sure your main keyword is within your URL. I'm not talking about a subfolder, I'm talking about the root domain name. It's been proven according to ClickFlow that the keyword and a domain name create more clicks. So when people are searching on Google, if they see the keyword that they're searching for in your URL, you're more likely to get clicks to your site. Now when you have a one-page website, there's not too much flexibility with your URL, other than your domain name. So consider picking a domain name that has a keyword and if you don't have one, consider changing your domain name to one that has a keyword. Now the last thing I want you to do with your one-page or website is, continually update it. People forget to do this. Google doesn't like ranking old, outdated websites. When people have a one-page website, they don't tend to make a lot of changes to their site. It's really important that you make changes to your site every quarter. I'm not talking about a simple change like you change a keyword here and there. I'm talking about making big changes, adding content, deleting content, adding different images, adding videos to help explain your message. All these things shows Google that you're continually updating your website, which will help you rank higher and higher in the long run. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital @ https://neilpateldigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips.

7 Marketing Lessons Learned From a Google Employee
7 Marketing Lessons Learned From a Google Employee | Who do you think knows more about marketing than me or even knows more about marketing than other marketers? Sure, people like me and other marketers, we know a lot of information, but there's someone who has a lot of insight information. Today, I'm going to share seven marketing lessons I learned from a Google employee. RESOURCES & LINKS: ____________________________________________
Ubersuggest – ubersuggest.org
Expedia – https://www.expedia.com/
Subscribers – https://subscribers.com/
MobileMonkey – https://mobilemonkey.com/
ManyChat – https://manychat.com
____________________________________________ The first lesson I learned was to research new markets. I always created content in the English market until a Google employee told me that I should create content in German, French, Portuguese, Hindi. These are all regions where they lack content. Sure, in English, it's a competitive space, but I've seen a lot of these regions, even though they're still competitive markets, they're nowhere near as hard as to rank in the English markets. The second lesson I learned is expanding globally doesn't guarantee traffic. I used to, when I first did this, I would just translate all my content. I quickly learned from this employee that it needed to transcribe my content, adjust it to that market. You need to do keyword research. That's why I have tools like Ubersuggest. We have keyword advice for every single country in different languages because it's different in every single region, so use it to understand what people are looking for, and then adjust your content, translate, and transcribe it from there. What I found is if you create bad translated content and you place it up, and when you do this, it can actually hurt your rankings for all your whole site, all your languages, because if you're using metrics like your click-through rates, your bounce rates are terrible. The third lesson that I learned, payment plans are a great way to make money. Now in most English markets, we look at payment plans as, hey, people are paying us money and there's a good chance they're not going to do all six payments, 12 payments, whatever the number you're charging them, there's a lot of drop off, you lose cash. So look at the different payment plans that different companies offer, and that'll give you ideas on which regions you can make the maximum amount of money for because, by reducing the upfront cost and having payment plans, you should be able to drive in many more sales. The fourth lesson that I learned is by being omnichannel, your CPAs go down. A lot of us use things like SEO, pay-per-click, and we stop there. You may even use Facebook ads. You may even use radio ads, television ads, billboard ads, but what I found is when you leverage them all at the same time, your CPAs go down. So with your marketing, consider going omnichannel because, even if some of these other channels don't produce as good results, by leveraging all at the same time, your overall cost for each of the channels should go down. The fifth lesson I learned from a Google employee, old is new. I have a team of three people. All they do is update my old content. The lesson I learned from this employee, Google loves fresh content more than old, outdated content. The sixth tip, branding is everything. Small companies are more likely to do something to jeopardize a brand, to make a quick buck because, hey, let's face it, they don't really have a brand. So how do you improve your brand queries? Well, it's a rule of seven. When someone sees your brand and interacts with it seven times, they're much more likely to keep coming back and remembering your brand. The last tip, and this one I experienced firsthand to make sure you have feet on the ground. Even Google, a digital company, did you know they do grassroots marketing campaigns? They had a bus go all around the United States helping businesses create their website. If people at Google, which is a digital company, have tested out and tried things like pop-up shops, they do things like have a bus go all around the United States and help small businesses, which tells you that traditional offline marketing still works. Don't forget to leverage it. It's powerful. Things like sending postcards in the mail, back in the day, it was really popular. Nowadays, people are like, "Oh, it can't do well." Well, it's still effective. Hence, you still got all that junk mail. If it wasn't effective, people wouldn't keep sending that stuff to you time and time again. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital @ https://neilpateldigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips.
