Seecrets On Website Promotion: Results Of Open Source Marketing Plan After 2 Months
By Stan Seecrets
Dave Chase in his column at iMedia "Sugarshots: The Big Picture" expounded on the virtues of Open-Source Marketing Plan. In his article, Dave explained the main ideas came from James Surowiecki's "The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations."
This author’s open-source marketing plan, as announced on June 29, 2005, is mainly for small and medium-sized businesses. By keeping it simple, this author hoped it can be useful to businesses with a limited budget, can get "more bang for the buck".
The objective is to gain 3000 inbound links within one year by sending:-
A. 48 free-reprint articles in one year.
B. 4 free e-books in one year.
C. 4 free software similar to corporate gifts or freebies
D. 6 press releases in one year.
Getting many inbound links is vital as a hits generator - sources for new visitors. Sometimes, internet users on reading the articles, e-books or using the freebies may visit the originating site directly.
The site www.seecrets.biz started in early May 2005 with one article. In the following two months, ten articles were submitted and two press releases were issued. All these are available at this author’s site with the dates concerned.
After two months, over 300 inbound links were obtained. It is difficult to be accurate because Google does not list back-links from sites with PageRank of less than three. During the first few weeks, counting was easy when the number was less than 100.
The results from the Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines on July 9, 2005 at 0800GMT are as follows (the figures within the brackets represent the total competing pages):
"Seecrets" got 1(7570), 1(1040) and 1(3681).
"Stan seecrets" got 4(338), 1(215) and 1(737).
"Joe Nogood" got 4(694000), 8(1330) and 1(2447).
"Rebrand software" got NR(84000), 15(88800) and 11(31124).
"Open source marketing plan" got NR(26.7million), 10(5.2million) and 12(1million).
"Open source marketing plan" got 3
