Black Hat Google Maps SEO Hacks To Rank #1
hello there my name is chris palmer in today's
black hat google maps ghost traffic video what i'd like to share with you is my ghost
traffic technique that i've been deploying on my own profile simply to see if i could start forcing
traffic to a profile without ever clicking on it without ever going to it just like a ghost
would do so i don't want to waste any time i want to give you the overview of this strategy
if you want a more in-depth guide check us out at www.seomastermind.org where i go through the
entire process to the moon and back but with that out of the way let me go ahead and give you
the overview of exactly how this works i'll give you every piece that you're going to need here so
first and foremost i need to share this with you this is the back end of my profile so quite
simply here i'll go ahead and refresh this quick so make sure it's up to date so if you come into
your insights inside of your own profile i just want to share this with you now this is wildly
inaccurate it's quite interesting really but with that being said i want you
to take a look at some key metrics so the keywords that are driving to the actual
business so these are how users how people are finding my business now if you take a look down
the list here just put your eyes on number eight i want you to take a look at how odd that is and
how that just stands out there's sentiment words there's top priority keywords and there's brand
keywords all mixed into one chris palmer marketing all in caps and then lowercase seo services
company top best now that's a quite strange string to have start coming into a business along
with a few others but i won't point those out in this particular video but i want to point
that one out just to make it make sense for you now with that being said if you take a look
here at this traffic i want you to come on over to my actual business listing where i can share
with you how the ghost traffic strategy works so if you come over here to where your photos are
every photo that's inside your business listing your google business profile listing is housed
on a server all right now these images they're your images they're in your profile but they're on
google servers so if you take a look here i want to point something out to you take a look at the
images and the average view counts that my images get 141 131 131 20 124 127 128 and 462.
Now take
a look at this image right here as you can see here it's for the new york seo expert 462 views
if we come on over here to the serpclick.io you can clearly see that that same image is sitting on
one of my test sites so this is part of the ghost strategy that i really want to give you
today this is how you can drive ghost traffic to your profile without ever going to it but
chris we need more right so here's how it's done so like i mentioned before every single profile
your profile my profile your neighbors your uncles your brothers your the plumber down the road
everybody's is housed on google servers so you have to go and get the image let me share with you
how you do that all right so if you come out here you go over to your maps right you put your brand
name in you do a brand search for yourself that's a little bonus right but what you're doing is
you're going to go over here and see your photos once you see your photos you need to find an image
that makes sense for your business probably one that you've uploaded so for this instance i'm
going to go ahead and use my new york seo expert now what you'll do is you're going to right click
if you're using google chrome in a pc computer like i am if you're on another computer it might
be something different but pc users on windows right click if you're using chrome and then click
inspect once you inspect you just need to know which server and which folder it's in so if you go
to sources i'll share that with you go to sources go to the ih5 google user content folder once
inside of there go to photos and then find the image that makes sense okay so in this particular
case it's going to be this one right here you will right click again and then open in a new tab
once you do that you now have the address the image address just like on your wordpress computer
like you have all of your stuff in your images and they have their own urls it's the same for google
they have to house that image somewhere and for your business listing for this image it's here so
let's go ahead and grab that and then what i do is i take a note now here's where the magic happens
how the magic happens is through a technique or a strategy that's relatively blackout called hot
linking if you're unsure what hot linking is what is hot linking let me go ahead
and just give you a brief definition of what it is what is hot linking hot linking is
known as the act of stealing someone's bandwidth by linking directly to their website's assets such
as images or videos inline linking is the use of a linked object often as an image on a site by a web
page belonging to a second site one site is said to have the in-link to the other site which the
object is located so basically it's almost like an embed it's almost like a frame but you're able
to actually call the resource right and utilize it on your own assets now because this is your
business profile you you should be allowed to call that resource okay now with that being said now
that you know understand what hot linking is it it can be relatively grayer blacker hat okay now
with that being said you know where the image is the only other piece that you're going to need
to know how to do is you're going to need to know exactly how to create a hot link now how i'm
creating them is utilizing a strategy called lazy loading lazy loading is a way to load images last
after the resources because i want them to see the content first then the image okay that's the only
difference here i'm sure you might have a better way of doing a hot link but this is how i do it
now with that being said what i want to share with you is there's a couple pieces here inside of the
hot link so i've gone out and i've grabbed the url as you can see here s131 kn oh it's this one right
here and i've actually added it into a hotlink url now what do you do with this and how do you get
the keywords to show up inside of your insights well that's the best part i'm going to walk you
through that right now so we've created the hot link together we've gathered the image together
now what i'm going to utilize for showing you this or walking you through this is i'm going
to show show you one of my test sites so this is serpclick.io as you can see here we have this
imagery here it's the same exact image that we're grabbing from here okay but what we're going to
do is we're utilizing a html and css template and we're utilizing it straight from our server
so we're going to go ahead and log into our cpanel once inside the cpanel on our server we'll go into
the file manager once inside the file manager will go to public html once inside of public html
we'll right-click on index.html we'll go to edit we'll go to edit and then we're going to go inside
of here and what we're going to do is we want to put it as close to the top as possible the reason
being is google reads from top to bottom so we want our header and stuff that's going to load and
then the first piece of content that it's going to see even though it's lazy loading is going to
be that image so let me go ahead and share this with you what we're going to do is we're going to
scroll on down the page here once we're down the page we're going to keep going we're going to
keep going we're going to keep going and what we're going to do is we're going to put it right
here all right so i'll go ahead and grab this all right and i want to point something
out too briefly so we're going to go ahead and just put this in here so image lazy
loading lazy src equals where the image is then the alt text is where a lot of the magic
is going to happen so what we want to put inside of there is going to be our keyword something
like chris palmer marketing s e o tips best top company in new york p-e-n-n-s-y-l-v-a-n-i-a
uh california okay and the list goes on and on you could put whatever you would
like there and you also want to go ahead and title the video as well so we have our
alt text you can also add a title if you really wanted to but for the sake of this video
i'm going to go ahead and just show you the alt text so once we do that we will go ahead and
just put this at 236 we're going to adjust the width and the height and we will save that image
now what i want to do is i'm going to go ahead and show this to you i'm going to go ahead and just do
a quick refresh and now we have our new image here sitting here plain as day and every time you load
this okay and there's a little bit extra but every time we're actually sending traffic to the google
my business listing to that image okay now there's a magnitude of different ways to utilize this
strategy you can even go the more negative side with this but the objective here is to get traffic
and clicks user metrics to your google business profile why because it's the most powerful signal
that you can send my name is chris palmer if you're interested in learning more about the ghost
