Today we have an exclusive interview with Steve Aylor who’s the creator of Backlink Goldmine and Backlink Energizer.

1. Can you give us some background on yourself?

45 yrs old – Married 18 yrs with 4 kids – ages 16 / 13 / 10 / 8 … 3 girls 1 boy :-) Reside in Southern California – Orange County. 24 yr veteran of the Insurance industry – specializing in commercial business insurance and risk management for the Information Technology, Construction and Not For Profit sectors. Marketing products for these clients became a passion. My passion for marketing led me online.

2. How did you first get started in Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

Marketer David Frey introduced me to Internet Marketing through his mailing list, and ever since I wanted to rank a few websites … I was smitten. I devoured hours and hours of information from the warrior forum. From there I tested and tried many things. Discovered things that worked for me, then automated it, and then scaled it.

3. Please give our readers some background on what your product, service or membership is/are about and how it will help the readers?

I quickly learned that backlinks are one of if not THE critical factor in achieving page one SERPS. I got frustrated with the backlink strategies and tools available at the time I became backlink enlightened, so I set about to make better alternatives. The Backlink Goldmine Suite of products provide a very affordable and automated solution for profile, blogging and web 2.0 platform backlinks. Backlink Goldmine works on both PC &Mac, and leverages simple common software interfaces most Internet Marketers are already familiar … Windows, .csv files, and the Firefox Browser.

4. How did you come up with the idea for this kind of product, service or membership?

I quickly learned that backlinks are one of if not THE critical factor in achieving page one SERPS. I got frustrated with the backlink strategies and tools available at about the same time I became backlink enlightened, so I set about to make better alternatives. Backlink Goldmine was born.

For Backlink Energizer … I had spent 3-4 months trying to cobble together a group of FREE WordPress plugins for a scalable solution to autopost to web 2.0 sites. A friend had shared one idea of indexing links – which then lead me to an idea of how I wanted to get links indexed more reliably, but the FREE tools that existed only did 3/4′s or partial aspects of what I wanted to do. I found a very expensive autoblogging tool and I hacked it to make it do “most” of my new methods of link indexation. After much tweaking – toiling and tracking. I found the things I felt worked well. I then partnered with a good friend and php / wordpress coding guru, and had my ideal software app built around the wordpress syndication engine and codebase.

5. Who is your target market for your product, service or membership site?

Anyone trying to rank their sites with backlinks or anyone who wants to make the most of the backlinks they have already built. Adsense micro site builders, niche review site builders … anyone who needs to rank well in the SERPS.

We built our Backlink Goldmine and Backlink Energizer products with the mindset that not every marketer has $1997 to drop in order to achieve success. We decided to make products that are an extreme value and easy to use for newbie, and that can also scale for advanced marketers as well.

6. What are the 3 important SEO strategies you use to rank for your website?

Use Keyword rich domain names.
Take Massive Action via automated backlinks software.
Try and get many “in content”, full anchor text links with very focused keywords as the anchor text.

Be prepared to work hard for the long term on valuable money keywords with high competition…

7. Can you tell us about the single most important thing SEO mistake you should have avoid in the process of ranking high in the search engine?

I believe the single biggest mistake people can make is believing all the forum hype about what NOT TO DO, and that Google bot is a semi-human – living – free thinking entity. It is not. It is a bot – an algorithm. It doesn’t know feelings or throw red flags – it just “does” … what it is programmed to do. The notion of “natural looking” backlinks. The notion of building links too fast …. or too many too fast or, that your links must come from pages that are “relevant” to your keywords in order for those links to have any value.

8. Anything you want to add on

Pick your target niches and keywords carefully … this can shorten the path to success and help you have realistic expectations of income for effort. You’ll have a good idea of how much work will be needed to dominate the SERPS, and know if the keywords will be worth the efforts financially.

Beware of the silver bullet … it’s still time and effort to achieve SEO results!
