Recently, I built a contact list of nearly 130,000 contacts on Facebook Messenger. In the old days of email, building a list this large could take months or years. With Facebook Messenger, however, it takes a fraction of the time. I built this list of 129,560 Facebook Messenger contacts in just over a month. Fair warning: The tactics here take execution and elbow grease. They won’t happen on their own. But if you want a system that gives your brand a dominant edge on the most engaging social media channel right now (it’s how I increased my Facebook engagement 154% ) then follow the exact formula I used to build a contact list to 130K engaged Facebook users who have subscribed to get my updates right in their mobile chat app. I’m going to show you 5 killer tactics for growing a huge audience. Facebook Messenger Marketing: How it Works First, let’s back up on why Facebook Messenger is working so well today. Facebook Messenger open rates are 50-80% click-through rates post elit

We all know that links help rankings. And the more links you build the higher you’ll rank. But does it really work that way? Well, the short answer is links do help with rankings and I have the data to prove it. But, you already know that. The real question is what kind of links do you need to boost your rankings? Is it rich anchor text links? Is it sitewide links? Or what happens when the same site links to you multiple times? Or when a site links to you and then decides to remove the link? Well, I decided to test all of this out and then some. Over the last 10 months, I decided to run an experiment with your help. The experiment took a bit longer than we wanted, but we all know link building isn’t easy, so the experiment took 6 months longer than was planned. Roughly 10 months ago, I emailed a portion of my list and asked if they wanted to participate in a link building experiment. The response was overwhelming… 3,919 people responded, but of course, it would be a bit too h

Why do you do keyword research? It’s to find more lucrative keywords to rank for on Google, right? But once you find these keywords, you still have to figure out how to rank for them. For that reason, I decided to update Ubersuggest because I wanted to show you what kind of content to create and even how to promote it. That way you can start ranking for these newly found keywords. Here’s what’s new… Content ideas The way you rank for a keyword is by creating content around it. I know content isn’t king anymore and that’s because there are over 1 billion blogs on the web. That means Google can be really picky about what they decide to rank. So now, not only do you need to write amazing content, but you also have to promote it if you want to do well. To help you with this I created a Content Ideas report in Ubersuggest . So whenever you do keyword research, you’ll see an overview that looks like this: Just like before, you’ll see a graph at the top with the search volume ov

If I write a blog post on any topic, what do you think happens? It typically gets indexed by Google the same day I publish the content and within a week it tends to rank high on Google. Then again, I have a domain score of 94 and I have 633,791 backlinks. Just look at the image above. (If you are curious what your link count or domain score is, put in your URL here .) But if you have a lot fewer backlinks and a much lower domain score, what do you think would happen? Chances are your content won’t get indexed fast and it won’t rank as high as you want. But there has to be a way to change this, right? Especially without building more backlinks because we all know that’s time-consuming and hard. To find the most ideal solution, I decided to run a little experiment. Around five months ago, I sent out an email to a portion of my mailing list asking people if they wanted to partake in an SEO experiment. As you could imagine, I had well over a thousand websites who were willing
