Pubcon Parties and the big 2014 Poker tournament, go here.

=========

The below is about previous years 2013 parties.

Letter to my friends 🙂

Want to network?

The big texas holdem tournament registration is now open.
There are limited spots: http://seo-poker-012eminv1.eventbrite.com

I have cleverly planned a little upscale networking for you, and all
other players and guests at the tournament. It is the catalytic networking.

Free drinks and In and Out burgers are provided for Guests and Players
thanks to the Mirage and our sponsors,
Bruce Clay, Internet Marketing Ninjas, Link Research Tools

Also, this past year we have dedicated ourselves to reverse engineering Google’s
algorithm. We made a ton of money for our own and clients sites this past year.
I am going to be sharing at my invite only back room talk during Pubcon.

Also, if you care at all about high quality, white hat link building. I will just say this bluntly.
We rock it. We have new techniques that are just killing it right now. We have been doing this
over the past year for fortune 500 and large website clients.

Nevada gaming makes it almost impossible to have a true charity tournament any more,
so instead this year we are promoting Water School along the way. Also the sponsors
and myself are donating to this fantastic charity.
In a nutshell, they teach people in Africa who would die of Dysentery, and other viral and
bacterial diseases, how to use a simple empty soda bottle to kill viruses and bacteria in the water.
Voila! Less death.

We have been putting out facebook ads, emails, blog posts and more to promote
our awesome sponsors who are making this possible:
Bruce Clay, Internet Marketing Ninjas, and Link Research Tools.
All by the way get my own personal seal of approval as rocking companies. 🙂

We need a few more sponsors.

If you have a couple of bucks, and want to make a cooler event cooler, just email me at dk (at) purposeinc.com
We have sponsorships available at all levels.

Be cool!

much love,

dk

On facebook my SEO friends have been whining about Google hiding the search data from them.

If you don’t get this, when you go to Google Analytics, which is Google’s tool for seeing what is happening on your website, they up to now have shown you a great degree of what keyword people were searching for when they came to your site.

Those of us in the Google ranking, and Google penalty removal business, use this data as indicators as to how Google is ranking our sites for different keywords. In fact it has been extremely useful for me to figure out exactly what is causing the penalty.

Google has decided to hide all of this data from webmasters, and now webmasters are whining about it.

My good buddy and secret weapon Dan and I have a basic philosophy which is the harder and more expensive something is to figure out or get past, the better for us.

It is like having a 20,000 foot cliff below our front porch. Only the strong and the smart are going to make it there. Most people are tremendously lazy. If there is any barrier to entry at all, then they are not even going to try to get in. That leaves plenty of room at the top for those smart enough, and willing to work 16 hour days to get to places where the masses, and even the leaders of the masses will never see.

We just got through doing a sideways reverse engineering of a big piece of google. By this I mean we took a way Google is looking at sites, and then came in from the side, worked our way through the webbing, and found an amazing new way to build links that are Google compliant, Google loved, and will get sites to rank even better than we have for cheaper. To do this took 2 months of research on top of what we have been dong for years. Then once I had the idea, I spent three 16 hour days writing up the specs for the programmer, who then banged out version 1 for me.

How many people are going to go through that much work? Not many.

So every time Google makes it harder for SEO’s to get sites to rank well in Google, I give Google another round of applause.

I know as the challenges get tougher, I will work harder and smarter that I ever have before.

As Google tightens its noose against crappy links, and crappy writing, and sloppy lazy analysis, we just keep pulling further ahead.

I will tell you one more secret.

Not drinking and taking good care of oneself goes an awful long way in being able to work hard, and well, for decades at a time 🙂

Making it a bit tougher for us Google ranking folks Google?

Thanks! 😉

As most of you know, we have been working flat out the past few years helping very large sites and our own large sites rank well in Google.  A big part of this has become getting rid of the penalties.

As a result we have a large research team and some amazing white hat link building teams literally working around the clock these days. The sun never sets on the empire as they say.

Today there is an interesting new twist. Google is actually telling you flat out if you have a manual penalty. For some webmasters they got a notice from Google, it disappeared, and then they never saw it again.

Today in Google Webmaster tools showed up a button under Search Traffic, Manual Actions. It then tells you if you have a manual action and some details about it. Most often if you have one, it is going to be about unnatural link warnings, although I am sure there are others.

If you click on it you get Manual Actions, Site Wide Matches, and Partial Matches.

The Site Wide Matches will probably shake out to be more Panda related penalties, and the Partial Matches more Penguin stuff.

I applaud Google for being a little more transparent at this.

I once asked Matt Cutts a question in front of a few hundred webmasters, a bit tongue in cheek but also seriously, if Google was asking webmasters to be entirely transparent in what they were doing, when could we expect the same from Google? This is a step in the right direction.

If you have one of these penalties on a significant site and want to chat, email me at dk (at) purposeinc.com

So far we have our Invite only event in my penthouse where I will be covering more about our teams research on exact points of Panda and Penguin and how we have created recovery and some serious increased rankings with 7 figure increases.

It will be a back room, invite only, open bar, great food event in my penthouse at the mirage on exact points that we are using to beat Panda and Penguin, and recover sites.

Tuesday night at 6:15

Here is the application.

Tuesday at 9pm there is a poker tournament at the Mirage.

On Wednesday night there is the official leadscon party.

What other parties and special events do you know?

We have research in place to determine the exact factors that were hit by the March 2013 Google Penguin or Panda update.

Our laboratory team has already identified the major 136 factors of the Google Panda update and the major 26 factors of the Google Penguin update.

I won’t even tell you their success rate now, because you would not believe me.

Huge props to Google on this because while there are fine points one might try to criticize these updates about, they definitely are continuing to create better user experiences.

As we get information in about the 2013 March Panda or Penguin update that is supposed to roll out, we will release info here about it.

There has been some contradiction about whether it is Panda or Penguin. We will see.

There is an invite only private event that will take place in my penthouse at the Mirage on Tuesday night to discuss what we have learned. Click Here.

Those who know me know that we have been absolutely killing it this past year.
It has undeniably been our best year ever.

I am passing up literally dozens of other opportunities next week to go to leadscon.

Why, because I Can’t Afford NOT to Attend!

There are going to be big decision makers from big companies that do lead gen online,
as well as lots of guys who are doing big things developing and selling leads.

The list of companies coming is over 1000.

I have gotten to be buddies with Jay, the organizer of leadscon,
and he gave me the bro hookup so if you want to grab one of the
last few seats, you even save some money.

I am going big on this one, and will be doing one of my back room NDA events.

I have only committed to three events this year, and this is one of them.

Where a lot of the other events have gotten full of wanna be successful guys,
this event is full of us who are there.

Come join me in making some great contacts and creating the future of the internet.

much love,
dk

Affiliate Summit has been tons of fun, but as usual not much sleep.

It was fun hanging out with Shoemoney today.

We haven’t gotten to hang out the past few years, so it meant a ton to me to get to spend some serious time with him. I got to hear about his Par program, and about the book. If you follow me at all, you know how much the guy has helped me and how much I appreciate him.

I came out to Affiliate Summit to help All Phase hosting promote their cool product where you can get your own hosting company.

I am not sure if I have just evolved, or if the whole industry has.

When I walked the floor, and talked to others, I really get the feeling that affiliate marketing has lost a lot of the push it used to have.

Shoemoney’s opinion is that a lot of the Acai, rebills, and the like are gone, and being replaced by legitimate offers.

I personally am thrilled to hear that.

If you want to hang out, tomorrow night I will be having my poker tournament at the Mirage.

If you want to hang out, head over here: http://purposepokerasw13.eventbrite.com/

Shoemoney just signed on to race.

We have quite a few spots available for racers.

Most of the people who signed up are ballers.

to go even bigger on this.

Here is what is going to happen.

When we get there, we are going to have some insider
round table discussions about what each of us is doing

We are going to get as many people a chance to drive as possible.

There is a lot of demand for this thing, but I am sorting out the riff raff,
and keeping it exclusive.

On to All Phase Hosting.
They are putting on the Affiliate car race tomorrow which is going to be amazing.
Just a few things about what they do not to mention the founders of All Phase are really good peeps.

They are putting together an awesome opportunity for anyone interested in affiliate marketing that goes just a step further.

Basically, they help you create your own domain/hosting business.
You get your own email list, branding, control over pricing, and what you want to offer your customers in terms of selling domains, hosting, or both.  The hosting company is yours, but All Phase will set it all up and provide live customer support to your customers.

This is an incredible opportunity and I believe will truly change the affiliate landscape.

If you are interested, check it out, no commitment: http://allphasehosting.com/vip/

After the the car race, I’ve got my backroom talk about what is working at Google.
It’s an invite only deal for those looking to make their site rank even better in Google.

Can’t wait for the festivities to begin!

Gentlemen start your Engines!!!

Ryan, at All Phase Hosting, and I had a conversation the other day about what they are doing- it totally blew my mind!
(For details of affiliate exotic car race, poker tournament, and what’s working at google NDA talk- keep reading.)

All Phase Hosting is now, hands down, the master of scaling a hosting company.
When Ryan told me what they’re doing now I could immediately see the success potential in it for all of us, including you.

We all know there’s a lot of money to be made in hosting.
To put it mildly, through their parent company they’ve been absolutely killing it in the hosting market.

What they are doing is accepting partners who want their own hosting company.

All Phase Hosting has built their own cloud and are allowing selective people, who have
experience in affiliate marketing, to stop being affiliates and actually own their own company.

This is the natural transition that all of the affiliate marketers I know made once they were successful.

Who wants to spend ad spend building someone else’s company,
when you can instead create your own long term asset?

Your own name, your own email list, your own branding.
And once you grow it, you can sell it.
