How a Power Backlink Anchor Text Coded Comment can get you on Page 1 of Google in under 30 Minutes
In the Video http://www.ferreemoney.com shows you how to get on P1 of Google (in less than 30 minutes) by leaving an anchor text comment on an authority site – in this case http://mashable.com/2009/12/31/facebook-2010/ and why using anchor text code in your comment is recommended and worth the extra effort.
I also point out that when you use the Bit.ly add-on for the Firefox browser, you can quickly see the number of clicks on any Bit.ly link which helps you decide if there’s a lot activity related to the Bit.ly link.
I also show you how in one single comment on an authority site, I was able to get my comment indexed by google for the phrase virtual currency biometric which is likely to become reality by Facebook in 2010. This is significant since PayPal is the clear market share leader and since Facebook has 350 million users this could pose a serious threat to PayPal going forward.

Bryan Eisenberg, FutureNow, highlights critical SEO tools for all webmasters at SES Toronto 2009
Matt Van Wagner, CEO, FindMeFaster, interviews Bryan Eisenberg, co-founder of FutureNow, about SEO tools of the trade at SES Toronto 2009. Bryan says if he could only select one SEO/analytics tool to take with him on a desert island, it would be Google’s Website Optimizer. Bryan says the main reason for his choice is because while 79% of organizations are measuring data, only 30% of organizations are doing anything based on that data. Google Website Optimizer allows you to test different options on your website and allows for visitors to your website to choose and select which are the best options for them. Bryan also recommends the web development toolbar, whyslow and knowem for ID management. Bryan also previews some of the new analytics tools his company is working on, one is called Ontarget, which is tied into Google analytics.
