Some of you have asked me if it is a good idea to have external sites link back to your site. I took a moment to pass the question along to my good friend Cary Snowden who has a podcast on blog marketing, and he wrote about it!
Check out Cary’s new post titled The Importance of Backlinks, and listen to his podcast on the subject (found at the bottom of his post).
The statistics in the video below are amazing and demonstrate the enormous growth that Social Media is experiencing RIGHT NOW! Mxi CorpAmbassadorAdam Paul Green was a keynote speaker in this year’s Xocai IGC (IGC (International General Celebration) and delivered an insightful yet alarming message about the power, prevalence and changing landscape surrounding Social Media (YouTube, Twitter, Word PressBlogging and Facebook).
“…Google literally dropped a social media bomb this quarter and everything has changed and will continue to change rapidly… you need to hurry!”
“If you wait even one more month to get started on your Social Media presence, it could be too late and too hard to catch up…”
“…The rules are significantly different now; the days of getting noticed on Google for free may be gone… get going!”
“…you’ll probably need to invest a few dollars in order to catch up with the crowd – if you’re behind the majority of people.”
~Adam Paul Green, Xocai Ambassador

Why use SEO? Adam Paul Green believes strongly that most MLM Guru’s and Professional Network Marketers are interested in some Professional (SEO) Search Engine Optimization services. Almost all “SEO Companies” offer “SEO Consulting.” Most SEO services consist of keyword analysis, web site analysis and competition analysis; all of which is very valuable training and retention secrets to an emerging Xocai Distributor. The goal (i.e. your “Xocai goal”) should be to ensure that your site is fully optimized to work with the big search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. REALITY CHECK: If you are not plugged in correctly – you are not plugged in (at all). This is a harsh reality – but still a reality. Consider the image below and notice the color differentiations:
Page 1 = Red
Page 2 = Orange
Page 3 = Yellow
Page 4 = Green
Page 5 = Light Blue
In the image below, notice that the majority of “internet searchers” are exclusively going to the 1st page of Google (in RED) and the vast majority are finding what they want on this first Google Page. Consider that the first Google Page consists of 56.36% of total internet clicks – while the next 4 pages only total 35% of the total Google Clicks. Therefore, clearly, you want and need to be on the first Google Page!
Notice that 53.51% of the time that people are spending is being spent on the first two (2) pages of a “GoogleSearch.”
Again, clearly, you want and need to be on the first pages of Google!
