Market Samurai is my radar system for so many things including advance scouting for up and coming competitive sites for keywords that I am fighting for. I find that the usual suspects hold sway over the top ten of most of the keywords – the weaker ones playing one-upmanship and sometimes dropping off to temporarily make room for a site that is muscling its way up to the top.
This morning when I was checking in on Blog Income there was a new interloper, yup, right up there in spot no. 5! I blinked. Could I just not have noticed it before? The short domain suggested a long ago purchase, back to the days when it was still possible to buy a single word domain and this one had it in spades: http://www.income.com/blog Everything about it was loaded. Nah! I would have noticed it if it was there before. Quicker than you can say John Reese I boogied on over there.
What a surprise!
It IS John Reese!
He’s got www.income.com ! I mean, how cool is that?
For those of you who may not know of John just Google him. He is one of those uber gurus and is a household name in any decent internet marketing household. I met him at MC2 in San Diego this spring.
I mean, I had no idea! I spent the best part of an hour reading his entries … interesting stuff.
Now John’s a smart cookie and I respect what he has to say … today, John not only upped my level of respect for him, but he stole my heart too! He has some interesting things to say about social media, especially about Facebook and Twitter. I have said many a time here that while I do not dispute the importance of social media marketing, I’ll take my time getting around to it. Whoa! It seems that I have some commonality with a guru! A legend no less!
John has published a free report: Internet Marketing, 2010, The Road Ahead. It’s a fascinating read. Go ahead and download it, there is no opt-in, no signing for anything, just a PDF download … oh, and you’ll lean how he got to owning www.income.com
Happy Blogging!
