I really like the idea myself. There’s a lot of incredible talent on here and many tracks I’d gladly purchase just to listen to. Good move, I think.

All done!

Hello OhmLab,

Here I am talking about building up a social network to help out with the keyword issue and I somehow had forgotten all about your AudioCompadre project. In fact, I’d forgotten about the email I received regarding it which I’ll be responding to shortly as well. Was tied down with work at the time I’d gotten it.

Needless to say, let’s start pushing that project here as well. It’s right on topic and provides another excellent means to get better SEO placement for audiojungle, so all the better for us all.

I have to say, it works out great that you’ve got that base covered already. Let’s make audiojungle’s SEO eat all the SEO competition!

Cheers, David

Hello inkaudio,

Thanks for the feedback and additional input!

I can’t get a link to it here but using Google search term tools you can see that “Royalty Free Music” actually has better results than “Royalty Free Audio”. More people are searching for music than audio apparently. And that would likely mean sales benefits for audiojungle sellers if we could increase our position for music.

To that effect, I believe with this forum thread, my own blog post and perhaps other people’s miscellaneous work on it, we’ve gotten bumped to page 3 of the search results, which really is a huge step up from page 5.

I checked out your post and it is sad more sellers don’t make an active attempt to bump their sales using free services like Tumblr but there is a good point mentioned in the thread that Tumblr might rank horribly in SEO . From the serious lacking in any Tumblr listings on Google, I think that’s probably true.

So how about this? What if I created a network similar to Tumblr and Wordpress.com where everything is tailored specifically to audiojungle sellers? It would be hosted through my main hosting account using Wordpress multistie. I can customize the site for audiojungle users and provide themes catering to their needs. I can do this all at no cost to users, at least to start with. Though if the traffic increased substantially, I’m not sure I could sustain that on my host for free.

Do you think that might work better than Tumblr blogs? More importantly, do you think anyone else would even be interested in the idea?

Looking forward to yours and other’s further input!

Cheers, David

I highly doubt it was this forum post that did it, but audiojungle is currently on page 3. Woohoo! And if I might stress again, if all of us authors even just talk about “royalty free music” in combination with the word “audiojungle”, sort of like my abuse of these keywords here in these posts, I think we can hit that number one position. Then we can say, “All your royalty free musics are belong to us!”

Cheers, DavidM

Haha, made this a couple of months ago for an Envato game idea I had: http://www.puppeteerinteractive.com/gallery/games/anEnvatoAdventure/ Take a look at the spinning leaves. If only I’d known there would be a competition

Lol, that’s awesome. And ironic. Pull one out of the game and enter it in the contest!

There are plugins like Shortcodes with Style that seem to be generating a bit of buzz for codecanyon and I think it’s obvious that it’s due to the code being tailored to a popular need (ie. Wordpress). I think that’s a good strategy for developers to work at.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be that a developer works expressly on Wordpress plugins, but if code could be made to very easily integrate into Wordpress or similar solutions I think it could potentially generate a lot of sales.

Good point about the audiojungle homepage. However, “royalty free stock music” and even other keyword strings are in the page’s source code. Regardless, “royalty free audio” isn’t printed on the actual page itself either and yet audiojungle holds the number one position for it.

Maybe Envato has payed for the marketing behind the number one position for “royalty free audio” but possibly, it’s just due to their incredible popularity. If so, then by all means, we should be able to pull off getting them better placement. It definitely benefits us as authors.

That said, I’ve gotten the post up at my blog at at the following: http://thehacked.com/seo-audiojungle-and-royalty-free-music/

And fortunately, the keywords show on my blog’s homepage a few times. And, my permalink settings make it so that the actual article is only one ”/” inward, as you can see in the relatively short URL .

If those of us who have blogs or websites do similar, I think we can pull this off rather well. And I really do think we’ll all see increased sales from it since we’re currently so far down the list for “royalty free music”.

There’s a few threads with people disappointed in their current sales figures, so I thought maybe we could do a few simple things to try and boost audiojungle sales as a whole, which will hopefully affect sales for everyone.

To begin with, searching for “royalty free audio” on Google, you’ll find that audiojungle shows up first in the list, after the advertisements of course. However, searching for “royalty free music”, you’ll notice audiojungle is sitting quietly on page 5 of the results. If you’re like me, you rarely ever make it past page 2 of the search results.

So, I figured, a legitimate SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategy to help boost visits to the site and thereby hopefully increase sales, would be for all of us here to google “royalty free music”, navigate all the way to page 5 and click on the audiojungle link. It will help get us higher in the list.

That alone may not bring us up to the top of the list, but it would certainly help. But I was thinking we could all pull ideas together to help out here in this thread with the goal of getting more traffic to this site.

I’m going to start working on a post on my blog to point people toward audiojungle. In the blog post, I will be sure to use the keywords “royalty free music”. As a matter of fact, I’ll probably just rewrite this post here and turn it into an SEO article referencing audiojungle throughout. If everyone with blogs or websites would do something similar, it would help to get audiojungle listed better.

Also, Mihai Sorohan has already opened a blog for audiojungle authors to showcase their stuff. It’s an excellent idea and the more exposure that blog gets, the more exposure audiojungle and the authors listed on the blog get. It’s a win-win situation. The referenced post here on the forum is as follows.

Let’s us audiofreaks own this SEO thing!

This is an old thread but I thought it would be the best place to post this. I’ve created a plugin that utilizes the original Envato Marketplace Items plugin to bring in the data for gallery displays within a jQuery Tools accordion. It’s worked in every situation I’ve placed it in thus far, but it could definitely use some broader testing with other themes.

If anyone’s interested, the widget is available here: http://thehacked.com/envato-marketplace-items-accordion/

The widget itself is demonstrated in the sidebar. There’s no admin options except for the within widget itself. The bulk of options are drawn from the Envato Marketplace Items plugin, and needless to say, that plugin is required for this to work.

Cheers, DavidM
