The Ultimate SEO Tool: Ubersuggest 3.0

Image
In 2018, I promised you I would release a better version of Ubersuggest for free, and I did that. But there was one big issue: Ubersuggest only worked on a keyword level. When you put in a keyword, you get a list of more keyword ideas and content ideas. And then when you put in a URL, nothing happened. Well, that was before. You can now get domain level metrics!!!! So let’s dive into the new Ubersuggest . Traffic Analyzer Overview The traffic analyzer is broken down into 3 main sections: overview, top pages, and keywords. The overview looks like this: The first section breaks some basic stats and a graph of the domain’s search traffic. As you can see from the screenshot above, you’ll see how many keywords a domain ranks for, the total estimated search traffic from that region, the number of paid keywords a site is bidding on, and how much they are spending on Google Ads. In addition to that, you’ll see a traffic graph that shows estimated search traffic a site receives o...

The Power of No: How This One Little Word Will Change Your Life

Image
When I started my journey as an entrepreneur, I made a huge mistake. And sadly, it took me years to figure out what I was doing wrong. The issue with this mistake is that it isn’t obvious. Not just entrepreneurs, but people, in general, make it for the majority of their lives. Can you guess what that mistake is? I was a people pleaser. I kept saying “yes.”  Especially when it came to business. The moment I stopped saying yes, things started to change. I started to make more money, my customers were happier, people stopped trying to walk all over me, and my team members were happier with me. I know what you are thinking… this sounds crazy, right? By telling people what they don’t want to hear everything miraculously gets better? Sounds too good to be true… Well, here’s how it works. Why do you say “yes?” Well, the reason you say yes is probably the same reason I also said yes. You want to please people. And if you keep saying yes, believe it or not, it won’t make them h...

How Digital Marketing Will Change in 2019

Image
Digital marketing is going to change drastically in 2019. And sadly, you aren’t going to like a lot of the changes. And no, I don’t mean change from a competition standpoint. You already know that each year marketing gets more expensive and more competitive. That’s just a given. Just look at the graph above: that’s Google’s annual revenue. As you can see, during the last recession, Google made more and more money. They didn’t even have a down year. One of the big reasons we are seeing digital marketing change so much is because of the adoption of new technologies. But also because the web is getting saturated… there are 1,805,260,010 websites on the web . That means there is 1 website for every 4 people in this world. That’s crazy! So, let’s dive into it… here’s how digital marketing is going to change this year. Drastic Change #1: SEO won’t look the same I’m starting with this one because I know you are going to hate this. SEO is moving to voice search. In 2018, 2 out of ever...

7 Marketing Mistakes That Nearly Broke Me… Literally

Image
When you look at me, what do you see? Someone who is a marketer… maybe even an entrepreneur. As you may already know, I’ve co-founded a handful of companies. I’ve received a handful of awards from people like President Obama and the United Nations. And I am a New York Times bestselling author. The list keeps going on and on. In other words, most people see me as successful. But what if I told you that behind that success is a bunch of failures? Sure, overall, I’m up, and my successes have more than made up for my failures. But just like everyone else, I have failed many times. And many of the failures were so big that they cost me a lot of money In other words, I’ve screwed up a lot. But what helped me do so well was that I was able to learn from my mistakes and avoided making the same ones over and over again. Today, I thought I would do something a bit different. I want to share with you the biggest marketing mistakes I have made. Hopefully, you will learn from them and avoi...

How to Drive Traffic to a Brand-New Site with Little to No Money

Image
I know what you are going through. You were excited to launch your brand-new site until you realized no one is coming to it. So, you head to all of the marketing blogs to learn how to fix this, but for the life of you, your traffic won’t go up no matter which tactic you leverage. What you’re feeling right now is very common. Not only have I experienced it, but when I was starting out, I even took the small life savings that I made from cleaning restrooms and sweeping up trash to pay a marketing firm to help me out. And can you guess what happened? They took my money and provided no results. See, what most marketers aren’t telling you is that there are two main reasons why you aren’t getting traffic to your brand-new site (other than the fact that you don’t have much money to spend on ads): Marketing is a long-term game – almost all of the tactics marketers, including me, talk about are long-term tactics. They take 6 months or even longer to see any results. Your execution ne...
