Rank Checking within YouTube Search?!

May 07, 2013

Emperors!

I wanted to let all of you know that we are working on some really cool stuff that we will be rolling out in the very near future.

Many of these additions come from customer feedback and feature requests. We always love hearing what all of you would like to see in Link Emperor, and what would make your jobs easier. We do our best to prioritize those in a way that makes sense for the masses. So stay tuned to this blog in the coming weeks for some really great things!

Today, I wanted to announce a feature addition that has been much requested over the last few months.

As SEO professionals, we know that video is one of the hottest trends right now. This is largely due to the fact that it WORKS! And it works very, VERY well!

This shift in internet marketing means that we are not only wanting to track our Google rankings, but also how well we are ranking within the search engine of YouTube.com. YouTube is the 3rd most popular site in the world (behind only Google & Facebook) so it goes without saying that knowing where you rank in YouTube is just as important if you are doing video.

So now, along with our Google, Bing and Yahoo rank tracking, we are pleased to announce that you have the option to track your YouTube rank!

Here's how it's done…

When setting up a new Campaign you will be given a number of different rank tracking options. 

See here...

Also, if you want to add this to an existing Campaign, simply click the yellow 'Edit' pencil and you will see the same options. 

You can find this Edit option here… 

All you have to do from there is select the YouTube rank checking option. (As noted, this option will charge a $0.05 fee per YouTube URL per month)

And that's it, it's that easy!

Even for those of you that may not focus entirely on video, we still highly recommend that you try to include some of these kinds of "ParaSites" in your link building campaigns. Not only do they help to diversify your entire backlink portfolio, but once they begin to rank, they can also be a great source of free traffic!

To Your Success,

Anchor Text Settings Now Available Per Campaign!

March 05, 2013

Emperors!

In our never-ending pursuit to make Link Emperor even more powerful and user friendly, we are proud to announce a new feature addition to our software!

As most of you know, Link Emperor allows clients to adjust their Anchor Text Randomization on an account level. This means that you can adjust how many link are built to your exact keywords, how many links are built to your exact keywords PLUS some random prefixes and suffixes and how many links are built to completely random keywords. (Random keywords include things like "Click Here", "Check This Out", "Visit Our Site" etc…)

Why do we offer these options? Post-Penguin, it became very important to diversify your anchor texts. basically, there were penalties handed down from Google for 'over-optimizing" keywords. Google decided that when your anchor texts were all the exact same keywords, this was usually unnatural. When webmasters or web users are linking to your site, what are the odds that they would ALL use the same keywords? They would use terms like "Check Out This Site" etc… This is why Anchor Text Randomization is so important.

Before today, when using Link Emperor you were only able to set your Anchor Text Randomization per account. This meant that if you had 3 campaigns in one account, all 3 campaigns would follow this same anchor text blueprint. 

Today, we now offer the ability to set your Anchor Text Randomization PER CAMPAIGN!!  We realized that not every campaign is created equal, and sometime it is necessary to have some different settings for different needs.

So as long as you have Campaign Allocation enabled (Click Here For More Details On Campaign Allocation) you will now see the option to adjust Anchor Text Randomization in that Campaign as well.

Let's take a look…

Here is where you can adjust your Global Settings for Anchor Text Randomization…

 

And now, you can adjust these settings per Campaign as well by clicking on the Link Building tab in a particular Campaign…

 

Please note that after clicking on Anchor Text Randomization Settings, you will have to adjust the drop down menu from 'Use Global Settings' to 'Customize Settings For This Campaign'

See here...

 

We think that this addition will be a great asset to our customers. We've had many requests for it, particularly from those who are doing client work. This can really help set you apart from your local SEO competitors!

To Your Success,

Great News: Local Citations Now Available!

February 12, 2013

Hey Emperors,

We have ANOTHER great update! I am proud to announce that we have made local citations available on a campaign by campaign basis. This is an amazing and heavily-requested new feature for all of our users who run local SEO campaigns!

As all you local SEOs know, local citations help websites that are based out of a local geographic area (like a city, for instance) rank higher than businesses in the same area with fewer citations!

Since several users have requested it, we have made the option to append a local citation to the bottom of all articles used for link building! We still spin the article, but not your citation.

Let's take a look at how you can add your local SEO citations…

1) Click on the pencil icon for your desired campaign. This will allow you to edit a campaign's options, including the ability to add your citations.


 

 

2) Once inside the "edit campaign" page, you'll see a field where you can include a citation. We recommend adding your businesses name, address and phone number.





3) Finally, click the "Save Campaign" button at the bottom. From now on all your blasts that use articles will also include have your local SEO citation!

Everyone here a Link Emperor is very excited to see your results using this great new feature! If you have any suggestions or things you would like to see don't hesitate to let us know.

Until next time,

Unlimited Targets and Additional Campaigns :)

February 07, 2013

Hey Emperors!

We have been working our tails off to bring you some major updates within Link Emperor.  And today, I am proud to announce that we are throwing all the limits for target URL's within your account out the window!

You can now add as many Target URLs as you would like within your account at NO additional charge!

In addition to giving you unlimited Target URLs, we are now giving you the ability to add additional campaigns to your account, however we must charge for these.

Additional campaigns come with a small cost that is dependant on your account type. Let me go ahead and detail these costs out:

• Soldier - $50 for each additional campaign per month
• Gladiator - $40 for each additional campaign per month
• Senator - $35 for each additional campaign per month
• Emperor - $30 for each additional campaign per month

Now, be aware! When adding new campaigns from now on, you'll find some additional text.


 

This will either let you know how many campaigns you are currently using, or it'll tell you that you've have met your limit and will be charged for additional campaigns.

After hearing quite a few users ask for more options when it comes to account levels, instead of offering more account levels, we decided it would be best to just make your account type customizable to your specific needs!  We sincerely hope it helps.

I hope that you all get some great use out of these new options and as always, if you have ideas or suggestions we would love to hear them...

And as always, we'll continue to work our tails off to bring you the best SEO solution around!

Until next time,
