I see Kurt refer to marketing pages. Whats the difference between regular web pages and marketing pages?s

When I write about strategies and methods I always try to find a free options for you. I think this can sometimes be a mistake. When it comes to HTML editors, this is a subject I've researched for many years. I've also spent a lot of time the past couple of days checking out at least 6-7 "free" options.

Just get EditPlus. I'm not affiliated with it in any way. Just a happy user.
https://www.editplus.com/

It has a free 30-day trial, then a one-time $35 payment. That's less than $3 a month for the first year and free every year after. I used EditPlus for about 10 years.

For doing HTML, it's the best. I see better reviews for other text/html editors, but my experiences tell me that those opinions are likely from hard-core coders than from web marketers.

EditPlus is one of the few that actually has an HTML toolbar with all the basic HTML tags ready to go.

It also has a very cool feature called "Cliptext" files. These are handy files you can use to store clips of text, like HTML and CSS code snippets, and even entire page templates. There's quite a few of these for HTML other users have donated that you can download and install. You can also make your own or modify existing cliptext files.

This page has a bunch of free user donated cliptext files for web stuff like html, php, css, etc.
https://www.editplus.com/html.html

On that page, search the page for:
ctl

...and download the CTLs that look good.

Way back in 1996 I took an HTML class. HTML was a lot more simple back then. But those very same things I learned then are still the basic foundation of all web pages and  this simple knowledge still helps me today. As a matter of fact, over my online career, learning just very basic HTML coding has very likely been the best investment of time by learning a tech skill I've made.

Knowing just the very fundamentals of HTML can really be a huge asset. And for us marketers, there's a big difference between understanding about a dozen HTML things and programming and designing pages with HTML.

This video is a pretty good intro into HTML. Play it at 2x speed.


 
 
HTML only requires 4 tags to be a "web page":
html
Head
title
body

I've done SEO for 27+ years, starting before there ever was a Google.

This page contains what I feel are the most important "on page" SEO ideas and concepts you need to know in 2022 and beyond.

These first three are, without a doubt, the most important and essential things you need to master to make money with SEO.

1 Mindset: Don't choose keywords  - Let the keywords choose you. Most advice given (and taken) is to come up with the best keywords for your site. By letting the keywords choose you, find good keywords FIRST, THEN create sites and pages for the best of the best keywords..

Public Thread: Don't choose keywords. Let keywords choose you or How to REALLY make money with SEO
https://pheeds.com/phorum/showthread.php...t=keywords


2 Keyword Research and Selection - With good, solid research and effort, you can find PLENTY of valuable keywords with low competition that you can rank for with no or few external links. Put in the time to find the keywords that give you the best possible chances of success. And keep digging. Constantly over time. Your goal isn't to find some good keywords. It's to find and create content for as many keywords as you can, using sound and reasonable SEO practices.

The BIG list of premium marketing tools that offer free trials


3 Be a Productive and Efficient Content Making Machine - You need to create a system and organize your tools and resources so you can produce QUALITY content as quickly, easily and inexpensively as possible. There are few certainties in life, but one is that a page you never post will never get traffic.

If you spend time and use common sense to uncover the best keywords, and let this research guide you, and create quality content for these keywords, you are giving yourself a huge headstart on making SEO work for you.

However, if you come up with an idea for a site and only THEN do SEO, you're in for a uch tougher time, IMO.

Highly Recommended Resources:
Rytr AI Content Assistant - Yes, I'm an affiliate. I'm also a paying cusotmer and use it daily. Rytr will help you write better articles faster and about more topics, meta descriptions and a lot more.

Get Access to All VIP Forums and Downloads - Discover the things that worked 25 years agos that still work now. You'll benefit from my experiences with long-term SEO and content creation.

More Important On-Page SEO Factors for 2022

E-A-T is Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness. Google uses EAT for topics it feels are important for things like health, legal issues, financial advice, etc., where bad info can cause serious harm. Google is going to give more trust to a site like the Mayo Clinic that some random person on the Net.

You can give your pages a potential boost by quoting and linking to respected sources. Use the Google Scholar search to find "EAT-friendly" sources. You can always find a link to Scholar on the Content Silo page:
?https://pheeds.com/misc/ContentSilo.html

Title Tag - The title tag has been the most important single place for keywords for my 26 years of SEO, and it probably still is. Make sure to use your primary keyword (from your research) in the title tag. Also, consider adding "modifiers" which are common search words to your main keyword, like:

• best
  
• 2022
  

• 1989-ford-truck.jpg
  

• Best ford trucks
  
• ford trucks that are best for women
  

What is the fastest, easiest and best way to create small 8-40 page niche sites? Let's say you have a collection of 15 articles. They can be either original content or you just bought some PLR articles.

You want the pages to be SEO friendly, load in an instant and focus on sound marketing principles. The pages need to be mobile responsive so your pages will look great to everyone.

Fast and Furious Pages are web page templates, that HTML and CSS and I designed to load superfast, be extremely SEO friendly, easy to use, and focus on direct marketing.

Fast and Furious Pages takes us "back to the future"...combining old school HTML site building with cutting-edge CSS.

Fast and Furious takes us back to a time when making sites was easier. Before WordPress, we all used to make simple sites using HTML. Many of us that did, still use HTML page a lot.

I love WordPress and have products for WP. And I plan to keep using it. But it's too big and bulky for many purposes, especially when creating smaller niche sites to take full advantage of keyword research.

WP makes doing a lot of hard things easy. WordPress can also make doing a lot of easy things very hard.

I have looked for a good, simple, HTML template literally for years and never found one I really liked...so I decided to make my own.

The first thing about Fast and Furious Pages is that they are made for web content that makes us money. We want layouts that present useful content that helps folks and ALSO focuses on a design that helps make us money. Often, as direct marketers, we don't want or need big, vast, content sites with all the bells and whistles. We just want pages with content and revenue streams.

If you want a fancy rainbow-colored drop down navigation menu, use WordPress.

If you want a page designed to rank, load fast, look good at all screen sizes, inform and sell, use Fast and Furious Pages

It really isn't either/or. There's a place in every marketer's tool kit for both Fast and Furious Pages and WordPress. But many times using WordPress is like building an entire auto repair shop when you only need a screwdriver. It's total overkill.
 

Why Fast and Furious Pages Needs to Be in Your Web Marketing Toolkit

Superfast - Fast and Furious Pages will load as fast as any pages. Of course, this is also dependent on how many things you add to your pages and your host's speed. But I've taken every measure to create the fastest loading templates around.
 

SEO Friendly - They are structured for SEO with Google in mind and being uber fast helps. I have 26 years of SEO. This isn't mystery voodoo. It's just the basic but solid and necessary stuff, ready to go for you.


Easy and Simple Page Making System - You don't need to learn to code or design. You can be artistically challenged. You just need to understand a few simple things. As a matter of fact, IMO this is the easiest way to make effective and efficient pages. See posts below.


Clean and Uncluttered - Your Fast and Furious Pages not only perform well, they look good as well. See posts below for screen shots.
 
 
Drastically Improve Your Odds by Testing - Use Fast and Furious Pages to create sites as quickly and easily as possible. Then see which give you the best results and deserve further attention. Don't waste time on "fancy things" when no one is even looking at your pages, that probably only make your pages sell less anyway. This is the best marketing decision you can make.
 

Mobile First and Responsive - "Mobile first" means that formatting for mobile devices is the first priority. The layouts are responsive and images and embedded YouTube videos are also responsive and will resize according to browser window size. They look good full size too. See posts below.
 

Incredibly Small So They Save Tons of Server Disc Space -

I checked out a folder on my hard drive for WordPress.

It has:

• 2,189 Files
  
• 293 Folders
  
• 53.8 MB
  

• One Column
  
• Two Columns
  

• RSS pheeds aren't generated automatically. They can be made manually if needed, and you may not even need or want them, since these sites aren't intended to be constantly updated.
   
  
• No auto posting of links to new pages to the home page or things like category pages. When you create a new page you will also need to create a link to it from your home page. You may also want to add links to new content in sidebars and other pages. The good news is, with this extra effort also gives you extra flexibility. You are in total control over where links go and what they say.
   
  
• No plugins. WP has a huge selection of free and premium plugins that make it easy to expand it power. However, there's also a lot of free and paid "stand alone" php scripts which do many of the same things. But again, it isn't either/or. You can use both Fast and Furious Pages AND WordPress.
   
  
• Flipping sites. A domain developed with WP probably has a higher perceived value than one built with HTML/CSS.

If you're looking for a simple, powerful and free strategy for traffic using content marketing, download my Traffic and Camouflage Pages Cheat Sheet. It's an Excel Workbook .xlxs file and will save you a bunch of time:
https://pheeds.com/misc/%21TrafficAndCam...Pheeds.zip

If you're new to Internet marketing or an old pro, these are the sites that have proven value for content marketing.

I've also added links to Youtube search results for marketing tips for each to make it fast and easy to learn about each one. This is free training worth more than most pay-for training. Pay attention to the etiquette for each site. Your goal is sustainability and longevity.

Use the cheat sheet to go through each resource and enter the info for your accounts to easily organize all your account info.

Here's the list of included sites along with their main benefit:

Quora - Sends traffic directly.
Reddit - Sends traffic directly.
List.ly - Sends traffic directly.
Medium - Good authority site to rank in Google. Also a good camo page.
LiveJournal - Camo page and has a strong social element.
Wordpress.com - Their site, not hosted on your own. Camo page and has a strong social element.
LinkedIn Groups - Sends traffic directly and has a strong social element.
Tumblr - Camo page and has a strong social element.
Google Sites - SEO, indexing and camo pages. Since Google owns it you have a better chance of Google spidering and indexing content and links.
Blogger.com - SEO, indexing and camo pages. Since Google owns it you have a better chance of Google spidering and indexing content and links.
Weebly - Camo pages
Wix - Camo pages

Camouflage/Camo pages are pages you use when you don't want others to know it's a page you own. These can be used in both ethical and non-ethical ways. I use them to post a link to them on a site like Quora or Reddit. Some may think this is a little gray hat.

My opinion is whether the page is helpful and interesting for the visitors and the quality and targeting of the content is what matters most. The other members of these sites can often be ruthless to even those with good, helpful intentions. IMO, let them judge the content, not the poster. And the better the content is you link to, whether it's yours or not, the better off you'll be.

You can also use the Camo sites as quality free sites for various niches and secondary sites. If you're joining the modern world and using an AI content helper, you will probably have lots of quality content left over from generating multiple versions. Post your extra content on these sites using slightly different keyword optimization.

Sites like Tumblr, LiveJournal and Wordpress.com actually have internal social abilities that are under-used. Content marketers can gain followers on these sites to increase your reach.

These sites have all PROVEN to send traffic. If you can't get traffic from these sites as a content marketer, then either you are in the wrong niche or you are doing something wrong.

Here's a really good way to find valuable domain names for just the price of registration.

GitHub has a list of the 5000 most popular domain names "prefixes and suffixes" here:
https://gist.github.com/marcanuy/06cb00bc36033cd12875

I took that list and cleaned it up for you. Notice the + sign is placed before and after words. This is so your "pheed" word is placed before and after words. Go here:
https://pheeds.com/misc/5000DomainSuffixesPrefixes.txt

1. Copy the entire list of 5000 words (or so) and paste it into a text document.
   
   
2. Find: +
   Replace: With any keyword. A one or two word keyword usually words best.
   
   
3. Paste the list into a bulk domain name checker like NameCheap or NameBright.
   
   
4. Scan through the available names. It takes a little common sense and experience, but there are some real gems available that are potentially worth many times the $9 investment.
