Terry had some interesting thoughts and comments for newbies
regarding the Google Slap.
——————-Terry Wrote ——————-
Good Morning Tanya and Cameron
Thank You for your email updating the Slap! It is appreciated.
However, it does bring up a question or two, particularly as I
was going to launch my google campaign today or tomorrow!!
(Mr Marshall’s book is very good) Obviously, I will, in the
short term, be using the landing pages from the back office.
Is there any point in continuing and spending more time on
this for it (my campaign) to get slapped almost before I start?
It seems as though it may be advantageous to arrange my
own web site and landing pages before going any further.
Secondly, are CCPro going to address this matter? I am sure
they will, but when?
I might just have a break until I hear from you!
Terry.
———————My Response————–
Hi Terry, yes. Hold your ground for a while. It won’t be long.
There is no doubt Jay and Aaron and the Urban Cowgirl will
have their thinking caps on. It’s just a matter of waiting for
enough scenarios to come through so they can analyze
who’s being slapped and why and then provide a solution.
They kind of have to be able to read Google’s mind, by a
process of “reverse engineering” based on who’s been slapped
and who hasn’t.
In the meantime though I would suggest do your setup, and
look into creating your own website as a priority. This is
something Tanya and I would recommend as a necessity,
Google slap or no Google slap. Have a look at tanyaandcameron.com.

On your own website you will need, at least initially,
1. an “about me” page,
2. a landing page, or several landing pages (you can even copy
the style and wording from CCPro’s landing pages.
And then I’d try to change the look of
the page and the elements sufficiently that it’s not recognizable
as a CCPro “template” by a robot, or a Google employee)
3. an FAQ or Q&A page. Copy this from http://web.me.com/cameronoutridge/CarbonCopyGuide/FAQ.html
you can also copy other info from our website www.cameronandtanya.com.
I’ll be sending out an incredible resource soon which
explains the ins and outs of setting up a landing page
and a “sexy” looking wordpress website (stay tuned
Audra and Josh!). This resource is amazing. Read their
stuff and you will all be able to set up awesome landing
pages and sites that outperform CCPro’s, I’m sure.
The important thing for us all to remember I think is that the harder
Google slaps, the harder we come back, and the more impregnable we are
as a company. Imagine trying to deal with this if you were on your own??
Apparently this same thing happened this time last year. And CCPro
members
bounced back stronger than ever. Now we have to adapt again.
cheers, Cameron.
