Search Engine Optimization (SEO) training via DVD. For free.

I've been working with the Stompernet team for years now and have grown to both like and respect the group involved. From Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon to Dan Thies, David Bullock, Jerry West, Ed Dale, Don Crowther and Sherman Hu, I am happy to count these folks as good friends.

Further, when I started getting involved in the world of Internet-based marketing and sales I thought "isn't optimizing your site for search engines kind of like playing games and tricking the search systems?"

That's when I learned about the amusingly named black hat and white hat efforts you can use to help your site, your content, your product and your services be more visible, more findable in the search engines. "White hat", of course, is 'good guy' stuff, and it's basically just applying best practices as suggested by Google and other major search engines (search for "google webmaster seo guidelines" to see what I'm talking about, if you'd like.

"Black hat" SEO techniques are where I - and many other people - draw the line. It's when you play various tricks and use stealth techniques to artificially boost your relevance for a certain keyword of set of keywords. I know that there are people in the Stomper team who know this stuff, but it's definitely not how we collectively teach people to gain the benefit of being more easily found by potential customers.

The Deal: Stomping the Search Engines 2

It's exactly because I know the people behind Stompernet that I am so flabbergasted about the offer we're introducing today at noon Pacific: The entire DVD training course for the brand new Stomping the Search Engines 2 along with a copy of the premier issue of The Net Effect, our new print magazine on SEO and online business best practices, are both available for free.

No kidding. No tricks. No "request a refund" stuff. Go to the Stomping the Search Engines 2 page, watch the amusing video of Brad and Andy sharing their vision, read the deal, and sign up to receive this pretty darn sweet offer on the spot.

The real story? The real story is The Net Effect, and I'll speak as a contributing author that it's chock full of very interesting and useful articles on how to grow and expand your business, with action items and pragmatic help. Heck, have a very close look at the cover when you get it and you'll burst out laughing when you realize how I figure in that image too. :-)

All you have to do is try the magazine, and the first issue of the publication (with a highly amusing cover too!) is free too. You don't like it? Cancel it. No sweat, no problem.

But I suspect you won't. I suspect that you'll find it an extraordinary value, especially when you think about how much even the mediocre newbie SEO "consultants" charge to share even a fraction of the knowledge we'll send out each month.

'Nuf said, I hope. Really, there's no reason not to sign up and get the terrific DVD training materials and the premier issue of The Net Effect free.
