Lorem is simply dummied text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1505s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen horse. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Check out the screenshot above that shows the Referring Domains, Referring Pages, and Domain Rating for one of my websites.
See that spike in all of those numbers around Jan 2021?
Do you think you can guess what I had started doing a few months earlier (the last few months of 2019) that caused my website’s Referring Domains, Referring Pages, and Domain Rating to all massively shoot up?
Thanks to that huge spike, my product sales also shot up by over a whopping 3,000% as well – all because my site was being found more – not just by Google, but by someone even more important than Google: My potential buyers.
Oh, and also get this.
Ok, here is my little secret: It is Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
Wait! Before you groan and moan… no, it’s not what you think.
This is NOTHING like what just popped into your head when I said “SEO”.
What You Probably Thought of When I Said “SEO”
Your eyes probably glazed over thinking of…
- expensive tools to buy
- the steep learning curve of figuring them out
- all the highly technical and complicated stuff you have to learn
- how much crazy work it’s all going to be
- how long you’ll have to wait – like a year or more – to see results
- how you probably don’t have that much time or money to get results
- the relentless content creation
- endless guest article pitching and writing
- dealing with agencies that want to charge hundreds if not thousands of dollars a month
- only to end up creating content spam
- linking to your site from black-hat link farms and shady sites
- this is none of that.

SEO is now arguably the most powerful AND the least expensive form of traffic there is. Risking being banned by Google and completely losing your business!
Hold that thought.
It is the most powerful because a link to your website is being shown to people who have actually searched for something related to what you have to offer, and have expressed interest in that topic. It’s not like them being in a completely different frame of mind, generally chilling on social media, and then unexpectedly being hit with your ad about your video course about making money with Crypto Currencies, when all they wanted to watch was funny videos with dogs and comedians.
Who knows how long your site has been broken?
How long the formatting of your podcast RSS feed all messed up?
How long your home page text all screwed up?
So you’ve probably missed out on a whole bunch of sales, and future customers who not only saw that your site is broken, but they couldn’t even contact you to let you know that it’s broken because your Contact-us page is also broken.
You’ve now lost sales, podcast listeners, future podcast subscribers, future fans, customer- and support emails, and most importantly, this also made you look unprofessional.
And the worst thing is, you don’t even know how long it’s been like this!
The good news is that hopefully none of this has happened yet.
