Does Search Engine Optmization Work? Help Me Fight The Good Fight!

300_army Does Search Engine Optmization Work? Help Me Fight The Good Fight!

After viewing my PennyStocking DVD, an experienced internet marketer recently told me that he liked and profited from my strategy so much that he wanted to help me get the good word out there. Sure, I said. He then instructed me to write a blog post telling my readers to insert the following two pieces of code into their sites and whenever they post messages in forums.

Normally, I’d never ask such a thing from you guys but considering that I’m just a tiny guy going up against a decades old system that’s made too many sketchy characters exceedingly wealthy and amateurs poorer, I need all the help I can get. Here’s what you gotta post around the web…let’s see if this thing actually works:

For HTML Sites

For fourms if you recognize the format(only)

  1. I’ve worked on websites and it will help, but remember the best thing is content, Google, yahoo, etc. use the spider to search content first. Linking has died down due to the fact that people were using link farms where sites would just trade links that were not even relevant. Basically the links will help especially if the links are added to top of the line sites that get crawled by google every minute, it will give your site more “respect” which will lead to more visibility on the search engines. Also everytime you re-do the site the search engines have to get use to your site all over again, so it is like over with SEO when you launch a new site. Content is king, make sure you use your keywords “Pennystocking” “Penny Stocks” a lot in your posts and along with links your search presence should increase.

    Good morning Tim, Davey is right, the web crawlers work on key words. Your title, titles, paragraph content must contain Timothy Sykes, Penny Stocks, Penny Stocking, etc. but you can also overdo that and then the crawlers will disregard you if it blatently overdone.
    In my opinion the site is an unorganized mess. I am also al-aka-mr-wizard as I had to make that name to be logged in to post in one of your forums even though I waited to sign up with this name until you had moved your site. I am just an older low tech type normal guy that loves the market for the challenge of beating it, short or long. I realize your goals are 2 fold. One, to inform the public how the game is played, and two, to build an income from advertising, affilliates, publishing, etc. You are doing a great job at both. Most of the people following your every move have very small accounts and are having to put up with the SEC rules which force them into situations where they will loose money on many otherwise winning trades. You will make a huge amount of $$$ from your sites advertising, etc if you maintain and grow your following. I know you think your information is worth a lot and I certainly agree. Where I think you could increase your readership and following is to lower the price of your book, or better yet give it away, and lower the price of your dvd’s to where the little guy can get your information without stripping thier small accounts. You would actually make more money doing that. Just as a computer is now quite inexpensive, but once you have it, they get you on the peripherals. If your book was free or at least free to for example, people that sign up and do 20 or more meaningful posts, and your dvd set price cut in half, your sales of dvd sets would sell triple or more, resulting in more actual dollars.
    I have followed you for some time now and believe in your basic message. I would love to see you also show the little guy how to find the pumps and ride them on day 2 and or part of day 3 since you know they are going to go up, no use waiting and watching a huge upswing where you can sell out on high volume easily, and then short the pump after the last push as the volume decreases. Might as well make money on both sides since you are finding most of these at the beginning of the pump. You are one of the most ambitious guys I have ever seen and I truly wish you the absolute best as someone needs to expose the crap that goes on in the markets and you are doing a helluva good job at it. If you truly want to help some of these little guys, give away a few more books and dvd sets. You will make much more in the long run by maintaining and growing your following. Just the opinion of an older guy who had to learn the very hard way that you get a lot more back when you give freely expecting nothing in return. Those lessons nearly cost me my life several times, but I did finally learn them. Good Luck.

  3. Timmay - I totally disagree about lowering the price of the book and the DVD. You will probably sell a few more if you do. BUTTTT - Will it be enough to make up for the lost revenue on each one? I doubt it. And if you make the price too low, you are saying something about the quality and the value of the item. I think they’re very reasonably priced now for those who are serious about learning. Don’t lower the perceived value of the products.

  4. Hey Tim,

    I gotta agree with Mr. Wizard here- and I gaurantee I’ll buy the DVD from this site today if you cut the price in half. I’ll keep checking in. If not, I’ll still be here this week hawk-eyeing PDO and MXC!

  5. P.S. Like I’ve explained to people interested in my services, if you’re looking for the cheapest forensic accountant, you’ve called the wrong place. If you’re looking for the most value for your money, you’ve found it with me!

  6. good advice guys, thanks!

    in regards to the site being disorganized, hell yes, thats why the new improved one comes out tomorrow! as for dvds and books costing too much, they’re actually both selling very well, the dvds especially, and income aside, i feel that if you can’t afford to spend $300 that can be easily made in 1 trade, then a.) you’re too poor to play this game b.) you’re too scared of parting with money, which does not bode well for your trading acumen and c.) it’s 1/3 of the price of most trading dvds so i’m already scarping the bottom of the barrel

    the good news is that within a few years i’ll have enough blog posts and chart data to create a strategy-specific book, so if u can wait 2-3 years, u can probly learn pennystocking for $20…although you’ll have wasted plenty of pump and dumps in the meantime and a book can never be as thorough, graphic or interactive as a 6-hour dvd with 220-page instruction manual. then we come back to creating a new dvd and thats just as an expensive process as it was the first time around

  7. thanks tracy, now u just gotta learn to link your url to your username here so people know to go to http://sequence-inc.com/

    maybe u should change it to www.ibustfrauds.com (it’s available!)

  8. Another thing that would really help is a super detailed post all about your dvd, which would include tons of keywords for SEO and would let everyone know exactly what the dvd teaches you. I think a lot of people are thinking this site is all they need because they don’t know what dvd has more than just examples of pump and dumps. It obviously has a lot more than that so you have the sample clips and charts, but now do a post where you explain each subject of the dvd and what we will learn without giving anything away. Let people know exactly what they are missing by only using the site. If you do that you will have a ton of keywords about your dvd and people will see why the dvd along with this site will benefit their trading most.

    Also maybe 500-1K timbucks or something like that can get your book and triple that for the dvd or whatever, make it like credit card points where you need a ton of points to even get the rewards.

  9. good call davey, i’ll def. have an upcoming post in a similar vein to trainee traders’ rather thorough review:

    http://www.traineetrader.com/d.....thy-sykes/

    and yes credit card points rewards system will be unveiled tomorrow

    Tim/all,
    I am new here.I have been coming to this site and following Tims’ advice for about 4-5 days now, and i am getting sick and tired of TIMBLAB: DVD pitch,on and on and on pitch this buy this fuck this screw them, i made 1.65 mil blab blab blab…and now you timtards: people helping tim sell his crap and sucking up to his inflateable ego….It just is getting old….There has got to be better mentors out there sorry for ragging but i am frustrated new to this and lost in the TIMHYPE lol

  12. mark, so dont come here anymore, until anyone with as much experience and brutal honesty comes around in small/microcaps, u have no choice but to visit. i’m not a master by any means but i have a monopoly in honesty in this niche…and u forget that without me pitching my products a.) i get too many dumb emails that not only make me angry, they waste my precious time and b.) it doesn’t pay to be brutally honest, i could make about 10,000x as much $ to flip sides and be a promoter, so i gotta make a living busting through all the crap out there.

    what say u?

    Tim,
    What you say? I am a 43 year old man trying to figure out wether i should go in to work tonight because i can hardly stand working third shift on a assembly line for 11 bucks an hour with a college degree or stay home and learn this stuff, and give it a try. Some of your TIMHYPE is throwing me off. I am not trying to be a jerk. I just want to know the truth!!
    Thanks Markjohnson

  15. this stuff does work but as i preach, u cant think of it as steady income/salary…just take it one pump at a time…my promotion is just to make sure this blog does not cover all the topics, its just a piece of the puzzle….for too long i got emails from people not even realizing i had a book or dvd

  16. 16

    being a timjerk timasshole excuse my french does not make you anymore credible…i do not doubt you have some knowledge and experience to decipher thru the timHYPE ….I think your ego and defensiveness is getting the best of you
    later markjohnson

  17. ah but that the beauty of my biz model, i can be a jerk when, i dont have to suck up to customer or anybody…i dont give a crap about credibility, its about expressing all your opinions to create debate, its about freedom bro

  18. 18

    true…and i have the freedom to buy market wizards for 10 bucks on amazon and get experience from the top investors of all times or pay 250.00 to listen to your overpriced overvalued
    timhype….freedom is a great thing…nice debate

  19. Although I am about to slip into a deep, deep depression because I have finally realized that I am a “timtard”…. I will add a couple things before I sign off for good. (LOL)

    1. I’m not here to promote my site, just to participate in the convo from time to time. I know, I know. I could get a little traffic from it. But that’s not why I’m here. So sometimes I might link, sometimes I might not.

    2. Although I sometimes disagree with Tim’s approach to business and his comments on things… WHO CARES. He’s not asking for my approval. And frankly, we all will never agree on the right or wrong approach. There are plenty of critics of my business model as well. But if they think they know so much, my advice is that they go spend their money on a new business that competes with me and does oh-so-much-better because of their vast, vast knowledge of everything. (Note: Timmay’s business is doing very well because of this website. Why should he change that just because you disagree and call names?)

    3. One very reasonable suggestion for those who don’t like what Timmay says or how he says it… is that they should avoid this site. There are plenty of other sites out there. Why waste your time on something that upsets you so?

    4. Thanks for the idea Timmay. I now own ibustfraud.com and ibustfrauds.com. I have been picking up good urls from time to time when I come across them (like my recent find… fraud101.com).

  20. mark, go ahead and try to copy those strategies they’re successful through the use of leverage, intelligence and information flow that people like you and me simply dont have. there is no other strategy out there that is as simple, straightforward, can be done on a part-time basis and is so ideal for smaller investors/traders.

    think about it, if an undisicplined prick like me can turn $12k into basically $3 mil when all is said and done by playing these supernovas–thats why i exclude my losses cuz they were outside this core trading strategy–and without the use of leverage, think about what others can do with the benefit of my knowledge and experiences and a little more maturity/discipline.

    in short, i WANT to show u my faults, not hide them because i dont want to hide ANYTHING. thats the way u’ll get the best education. too many snakeoil salesman have made u believe teachers have to be polite–i know my stuff works so i MUST not be fake at all or else i’m getting int he way of your learning

    understand better now?

  21. 21

    I will avoid his site…it’s like you said tim it’s about freedom…if their are anyothe TIMDISAGREEERS..i hope that is politically correct….Please send me to some sites of better value and quality mentorship thanks all later Markjohnson

  22. Is there such a thing as a stock trading site which offers mentorship? I’m afraid that against my better judgment (LOL) I’m a TIMLOVER.

  23. Regarding the SEO, you’ll get hit with penalties if all the links have the same text. Make sure they are mixed up…I did the research for you…

    penny stocks
    penny stock picks
    penny stocks list

    Keep up the good work!

    Content is king.

  25. 25

    Main Rule is DO NOT OVERUSE KEYWORDS if you do it’s SEO spamming

    wow. mark - kudos to you for calling a spade a spade. it seems like tim is nothing more than a huckster. what is on the DVD? how to blog all day and self aggrandize ad infinitum? because that seems to be the order of the day here. can i add myself to the short list of suckers lined up to buy the dvd made by a guy who LOST everything he made and now trades odd lots of penny stocks? huh? logic please - someone - anyone…

    and oh yeah - great response:

    “i feel that if you can

  27. how exactly am i a huckster when i detail all my trades/ gains and losses and lessons learned OPENLY? whatcha u gonna do, trust those robots that earn $346 on $1,000 invested…each week. what a joke!

    you and your whole industry are total scumbags. transparency is the future. welcome to reality, you’re not gonna be very happy unless u embrace it.

    PS get your facts right, i lost 35% when i ignored my trading rules. stupid penny stock promoter, i’m surprised u even know how to read

  28. 28

    this is from the guy who feels compelled to defend himself at every turn on amazon when someone criticizes his amateurish (at best) book? people - if you want to LEGITIMATELY learn how to trade, and stop gambling on illiquid penny stocks, i suggest reading TRADING FOR A LIVING or COME INTO MY TRADING ROOM or REMINISCENCES OF A STOCK OPERATOR (not to be confused with tim’s quite similarly titled tome..) or TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS.
    tim - while i DO admire your hustle (let’s face it, we all just want to make a buck, right?), you would be better served by being a bit less arrogant.
    i came across this, btw (hiLARIOUS): (from the ny post)
