Just to give a brief introduction and background on who I am, my name is Mitchell Wright. I am currently finishing a master’s degree in information systems management. I became involved in Internet marketing a couple years ago and have enjoyed every minute of it.
Over the last few months, I’ve been working with a few of my good friends from high school and helping them grow Warialasky, their YouTube channel. At the beginning of January, the channel had 500 subscribers and 25,000 total video views. Today they have close to 16,000 subscribers and over 3.25 million video views. Believe it or not, this was not dumb luck but actually a fairly well planned out attack on gaining views and subscribers.
Read on to the end and discover that one simple trick that will lead you to gaining millions of views!
Alright, so you’ve finished targeting. By now you’ve compiled a relatively long list of prospects and you’re ready to start fishing. But how do you ensure that your lines don’t snap, that you don’t come home empty handed. The following is a list of 4 simple, tried, and trusted tips that’ll help you reel in those fat, juicy, high PR links.
First things first, bring the right tools to the party.
Boomerang
Bloggers and internet regulars of all shapes and sizes receive a plethora of daily emails; it’s quite easy, therefore, for an email from a stranger (ie. you/me) to slip through the cracks. If you don’t get a response within a few days don’t give up on your target, and don’t be too proud to send it out again.
This is where Boomerang comes in handy, this tool allows you to schedule emails to boomerang back … Read More
Matt Cutts just announced his team was working on an over optimisation penalty to punish the sites doing too much SEO and not enough good content. While this may seem like a good idea in the first place. After much reflection during my trip back from Austria this week end I now think this is a terrible idea. Here is why:
This opens up the realm of negative SEO
Since people can now be penalized for having too many links, too many anchors or just keywords mentioned too many times in their content, I can clearly see competitive markets becoming more about negative SEO than positive SEO.
All the existing spam tools that were used to acquire a lot of junk links like Xrumer or Scrapebox will now be promoted to premium negative SEO tools and people will start blasting each other’s sites hoping to knock their main … Read More

SEO is a very profitable traffic-generating channel when it is worked in a ROI perspective.
Though, the main issue is that SEO results may take a while to be seen.
On particular tough requests to work on, it is common to wait 3, 6 up to 12 months, if not more, to see results.
Moreover, many websites structures are too stiff. Therefore, the slightest modification to increase conversation rates is very hard to implement.
If the “worked keywords/efficient landing page” combo does not show good results, you just lost some precious time. It is a lot more complicated to re-work on your landing page which got ranked in SERP’s without fearing losing some of those precious results already earned through G Square…Yes…God … Read More

Let’s be honest – we all want more traffic, right? Regardless of whether you’re a website owner, a blogger, an internet marketer or a business owner, we all have wanted some additional web traffic at some point. However, more traffic to your website is most likely not something you need. All too often I meet domain owners who feel inadequate or insecure about their web traffic and for no good reason.
That has to STOP!
After all, like a beautiful woman’s age, traffic is nothing but a number. More importantly however, it’s not the size of your traffic that matters; it’s what you do with it (let’s call this rule … Read More
This post is a guest post from Breanden Beneschott, Co-Founder at toptal.com. Toptal is an exclusive, global marketplace for top software developers and top companies. The author’s views are entirely his own and may not reflect the views of Higherclick KFT.
The software development industry is both enormous and rapidly growing. DataMonitor predicts that the global software market will reach $299.1 billion in 2014—an estimated increase of 32.6% from its 2009 statistic. The growth in this industry is fueled by innovation and the creation of new companies as well as from the successes of older and more established companies.

Along with the rapid growth of the software industry is the ever-increasing demand for software engineers. However, this intricate industry consists of more than high tech start-up companies in need of able developers. Today, almost every company needs … Read More

Social Media protagonists would have you believe that email is dead… well I have some news for you… email isn’t dead at all, far from it! Those that are out there saying that it is are overwhelmingly uninformed. For some, and the list is getting longer by the day, it works better than anything other direct marketing mechanism.
email vs social
Of course the introduction of Social Media has seen the landscape change and at Hiya we have been working hard to look at ways in which email can dove tail into social media to accommodate this. There are however, distinct differences between email marketing and social media.
With email the recipient receives a message, it sits in the inbox and they have to … Read More
When Google introduced the rel canonical about 2 years ago, it took me a while to understand exactly how it works and what it’s interest was. As most people, I just saw it as a way to avoid being penalized by your own duplicate content and that’s about it.
I’ve been a long way since then and as my SEO knowledge progressed I started to see creative uses to it, especially when google reported they were now accepting cross domain rel canonicals:
And rand fishkin’s cross domain rel canonical experiment where clearly it seemed like totally identical content was not necessary :
In this post I’ll share 4 of these creative uses with you with the hope that it will give you more ideas (If you do come up with new ideas, please share them in the comment section)
A few month ago, I decided that doing SEO without knowing good analytics was probably making me waste a lot of resources in working hard to earn non converting traffic. And god was I right. So about a month and a half ago I picked a copy of Advanced web metrics with Google Analytics by Brian Clifton to reach “the next level” and started learning how to analyse my data and I will share a fraction of my newly acquired knowledge in this post.
Prelude – Show real bounce rate in Google Analytics
A lot of people refuse to use Google analytics for many reasons, one of them being the stupid way GA treats bounces. Basically if someone visits your page, even for a while, and takes the time to read it entirely but does not visit a second page on your website, this is considered as a bounce. Pretty … Read More
