But Ezine advertising can be more than good, it can be excellent. This is because Ezines, tend to be very targeted, they are opt-in, and often they are distributed by email. This means they get more attention than an ad casually placed elsewhere – because they are more “qualified.” You can use Ezines to promote your site in four ways:<br /><br />Solo Ads: Essentially a direct email offer to the Ezine’s list. It’s a mail shot that only includes your offer. No others. It’s likely to be the Ezine vehicle that gives you the best response.<br /><br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Sponsor Ads: This is an ad at the top of the Ezine and gets seen by every subscriber. It’s good but, of course, you’re sharing space with other content and potentially with other advertisers. So, good, but not as good as solo ads.<br /><br />Classifieds: Just what you see everyday in your newspaper. It a short ad in a structured place within the Ezine. Classified ads are quite inexpensive, but of course, don’t work as well as Solo or Sponsored Ads.<br /><br />Ezine Articles: A slightly more varied form for Ezine advertising is to publish an article within the Ezine. Ezine publishers are hungry for content and will often allow you to have a small biographical paragraph and back link to your web site.<br /><br />Any of these methods is a useful way of boosting traffic online to your web site. Ezines offer the benefit of being focused, opt-in, and some have extremely large circulations. All of these are good reasons to look at Ezine advertising as part of your internet marketing mix.<br /><br />Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

However, you need to know where your website stands in the search engine rankings in order to see how much work you need to do to increase and maintain that popularity rating.<br /><br />Another way to build links is through free content creation or free article submissions. When creating your website you will need to fill your site with fantastic content and make updates so other sites want to link to your site. Search engines are now smart enough to know that content is related, so, links from relevant sites are more important then links from sites which are irrelevant.<br /><br />The assumption still is that if a site has valuable content or services to offer that other webmasters will link to that particular site. Most importantly, work on your content for natural linking from other websites. It is hard to get one way links but if you have good content that goes far beyond other sites people will want to link to you, it is still harder to get one way links than it is to get reciprocal links.<br /><br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Since page rankings is very important to the major search engines, and links influence this, it is important to create a game plan on how to build links to your site. A well laid out plan will help in establishing the overall link plan and strategy to drive traffic to your site. As time goes on your site will grow and your page rank will get better and you will have better chances securing quality links. As you website continues to grow and build in popularity you will need to quality links from other sites pointing to your site to keep your rankings. Link building never stops, if you stop link building and other sites stop linking to you, you could possibly lose your ranking on the search engines.<br /><br />The amount and quality of links you need will depend on the competitiveness of the keyword phrases for which you are optimizing. If you put in the time and work on your link building efforts over time you will see results in the long run.<br /><br />Article directories work with many different partners and by writing articles your articles can show up on many different sites. Your best bet in these times is to write articles and submit it to article directories. By using article submission services and directory submission services you are able to increase your ranking to your website, by submitting you are creating one way links back to your site.<br /><br />Using automated tools are not link farms, the reason for this is because you decide who you want to trade links with each and every week. Continue building quality links and you will see that in time it will all pay off.<br /><br />Getting the one-way link is more difficult to obtain than reciprocal links, but the pay off will come if you get solid long-term links and you will see the search engine ranking results increase.<br /><br /><br /></p></span></span></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-70812178783579375422007-02-12T08:53:00.000-08:002007-02-12T08:57:04.761-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#cc6600;"><strong><em>Increase Search Engine Rankings Using These Easy Tricks</em></strong><br /></span><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">So you have a ranking in a search engine but it's not quite what you expected, right? Well there are a few tips for ranking higher and I'm going to share those with you today so listen up.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Rank Booster #1 Increase Your Reciprocal Links</span><br /><br />This is a time tested approach and it works in both Directories such as Yahoo! and also in Spider Search Engines such as Google.<br /><br />What you do is setup a link trading directory and make categories just like a mini Yahoo! except you have them all relate to your market. This provides keyword density and it also gives your link popularity a big boost.<br /><br /><br /></span></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">But please be warned that if you just go and get any links you can (i.e. untargeted links) you will be penalized rather than rewarded in your rankings.<br /><br />It's much better to get just a few high ranking link partners verses hundreds of unrelated and untargeted ones.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Rank Booster #2 Add More Content</span><br /><br />This is a great technique that also works in both Directories and Spider Search Engines. By adding more content you will keep people who click over to your site there longer and this gets your ranking up in the Directories such as Yahoo! because they track how long a visitor stays at your site. If they click their back button then you will be shown as a site which doesn't help the visitor which will decrease your rank.<br /><br />You will get a higher ranking on the Spider Search Engines such as Google because they spider through your whole site seeing how many pages there are and this increases your ranking because you have more information there for there visitors.<br /><br />Both Directories and Search Engines love content and track how long people are staying at your pages which in turn also increases or decreases your rank based on how long they stay. If they stay longer, your rank goes up. If they click the back button immediately, your rank goes down.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Rank Booster #3 Improve Your Sites Load Time</span><br /><br />This is another that works with both Spider Search Engines and Directories. This will improve your ranking in Directories because it will keep more of the visitors that click over to your site there longer. Internet users want information and they want it now. If your site loads like molasses then they are going to leave. Directories track how long a visitor stays at your site and rank you accordingly. If a visitor leaves immediately then you're rank goes down because your site was tagged as "not useful".<br /><br />It will improve your ranking in Spider Search Engines because the spiders check for load time and load speed is part of the ranking system when they calculate relevance of a site.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Rank Booster #4 Improve Your Keyword Density<br /></span><br />This one only works for Spider Search Engines. The reason is because Directories only review & list you once so you can change your keyword density after they list you but the review and placement of your site has already happened.<br /><br />It works great in Spider Search Engines because they continually spider your site analyzing & updating your listing according to what it finds.<br /><br />If you need a better listing then utilize these strategies in helping you boost your rank today. They work and although they all take time, you will see a difference.<br /><br />These are much easier tactics than you will find in big, complicated SEO courses and there's a good chance that they may just bump your position up.<br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Get to work and start using them now.</span><br /><br /></span></div></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-35021879539313189192007-02-10T08:01:00.000-08:002007-02-08T11:36:16.397-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;">Web Site Submission – What Are the Benefits?<br /></span></em></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Some people will tell you that submitting your site to a search engine is a difficult, time consuming task and has limited benefits. Not true. Web site submission is an important way to accelerate the discovery of your website. Moreover, it’s not as difficult as some make it out to be.<br /><br />First, let’s look at the benefits. It’s easy. Forrester Research, a national research firm that studies consumer behavior, recently determined that 81% of consumers use a search engine to find the products or services they want. So the benefit is easy to understand: 4 out of 5 consumers look at a search engine first. If you’re not on a search engine, kiss of 81% of actively inquiring consumers and take a chance that they’ll find you some other way.<br /><br /><br /></span></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Second, what’s it take to do a search engine submission? Some will tell you it takes hours and hours of near-death boredom to submit your site to the several thousand sites around the web. This is both true and false. The false part is that there are only three general purpose search engines that matter: Google, Yahoo! and MSN Search. Sites like Ask Jeeves, Netscape, AOL and Altavista all source many of their results from these three sites. The true part is that there are hundreds and hundreds of country-specific sites and hundreds and hundreds of language-specific sites also. On top of that there are tens of thousands of special web-site, vertical search engines. To submit to all of these would certainly make web site submission a long and tedious process.<br /><br />As a result, most people will focus on the big three, and then cherry-pick through specialty sites that are important to their marketing. There are benefits to web site submission and not least is that it’s fairly easy to do. Simply package up your site and submit it directly to a search engine. There no more to it than that.<br /><br /><br /></span></div></span></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-33646128186836211942007-02-08T10:40:00.000-08:002007-02-08T10:39:25.552-08:00<div align="justify"><strong><em><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#006600;">Secrets To Getting Traffic With Internet Video<br /><br /></span></em></strong><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Internet Video has been around for quite a while now but its only with increasing broadband usage that a lot of people are watching videos online. With dial-up connections video can take a while to download so its not surprising that video didn’t really start to catch on until two things occurred.<br /><br />First - broadband internet became common and affordable. I pay about $35 per month versus $22 I used to pay for dial-up... and I get a lot more done with my online time with broadband.<br /><br />Second - Free video hosting is widely available. When Google purchased YouTube for an unheard of $1.65 billion dollars, it became clear that video was going to be the next big thing on the net... and Google was planning to make sure it played out that way.<br /><br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Thousands if not millions of people are watching online videos every day. The most popular videos feature celebrities and politicians doing dumb things, scatological humor, tasteless jokes, satire, and girls... or a combination of these things.<br /><br />For legitimate internet marketers working to get website traffic making these sorts of videos is not such a great idea unless your target market is the young male demographic that watches a lot of lowbrow video content.<br /><br />The most direct way to get traffic to your website with video is to make a commercial that tells people about your product or service in a friendly, informative way. Uploading this video to one or more free video servers like YouTube or Google video, tagging it with appropriate keywords will get you a little bit of traffic on the video websites themselves. Try to tag your videos with keywords than people interested in your product might search for - if you can’t think of any, you have some research to do.<br /><br />Videos get picked up by search engines fairly quickly and often rank well in “organic searches”, so if your video is tagged with keywords that get searched for but aren’t too competitive, you will get some traffic from the big search engines too.<br /><br />The good news is that the software and equipment for making your own videos shouldn’t run more than a few hundred dollars. But undoubtedly the most challenging part of the process is writing a script with a strong call to action. I watch late-night television these days just for the infomercials - they used to be annoying but now I find them inspirational.<br /><br />I don’t have the space here to explain all the details of how to get traffic with video. Let’s just say that studying the free video hosting sites like YouTube will yield some clues as to how other people are using video to get traffic, me included.<br /><br />Get in the game with video now, its only going to get bigger.<br /><br /><br /></span></div></span></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-26313704843965125392007-02-08T10:31:00.000-08:002007-02-08T10:37:15.456-08:00<div align="justify"><strong><em><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#993399;">Google Adsense: The Easy Way to Make Money Online<br /><br /></span></em></strong><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;">A</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> few years ago, no one had ever heard of Google.</span></span></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Today, it is a multi-billion dollar company that is used by just about everybody.</span></span></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;">While Google is raking in billions of dollars from their own advertising, there are millions of people across the globe receiving checks every month straight from Google.

Now, you’ll need visitors; you have to get more traffic to your web site. Here are a few suggestions for doing just that.<br /><br />You can’t manage what you can’t measure. Make sure you have access to your web site statistics. No point in doing all kinds of promotional activities unless you can measure the effect of doing them.<br /><br />Test different web promotional methods. Set up a schedule over the next six months of doing some specific promotions to get more traffic to your web site. Consider trying some of the following:<br /><br />An email promotion that drives responses to your site.<br /><br /><br /></span></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Conventional advertising that drives responses to your site.<br /><br />Advertise on the web with banner ads on appropriate sites.<br /><br />Revise the keywords on in your meta tags and your content and resubmit to key search engines.<br /><br />Initially, try each of these things separately in intervals of every six weeks. Carefully monitor your web statistics or web responses for each method. This should give you some idea of what works well and what doesn’t. As you come up with new promotional ideas, test them in the same way. Obviously the best strategy is to do more of what works well, and less of what doesn’t!<br /><br />Keep careful records of web site traffic. Traffic is dynamic. That means: it changes. Keep careful records of total traffic to your site including specific traffic to each of the site’s main pages. Eventually, you’ll zero in on the best ways to get more traffic to your web site.<br /><br /><br /></span></div></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-72128097822835545782007-02-05T04:31:00.000-08:002007-02-05T04:33:10.531-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#cc6600;"><strong><em>Link Popularity And The Effect On Search Engine Rankings<br /><br /></em></strong></span><br />The amount of quality links pointing to your website determines the popularity of your websites with many of the search engines, so it is very important to obtain quality links. However, you need to know where your website stands in the search engine rankings in order to see how much work you need to do to increase and maintain that popularity rating.<br /><br />Another way to build links is through free content creation or free article submissions. When creating your website you will need to fill your site with fantastic content and make updates so other sites want to link to your site. Search engines are now smart enough to know that content is related, so, links from relevant sites are more important then links from sites which are irrelevant.<br /><br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">The assumption still is that if a site has valuable content or services to offer that other webmasters will link to that particular site. Most importantly, work on your content for natural linking from other websites. It is hard to get one way links but if you have good content that goes far beyond other sites people will want to link to you, it is still harder to get one way links than it is to get reciprocal links.<br /><br />Since page rankings is very important to the major search engines, and links influence this, it is important to create a game plan on how to build links to your site. A well laid out plan will help in establishing the overall link plan and strategy to drive traffic to your site. As time goes on your site will grow and your page rank will get better and you will have better chances securing quality links. As you website continues to grow and build in popularity you will need to quality links from other sites pointing to your site to keep your rankings. Link building never stops, if you stop link building and other sites stop linking to you, you could possibly lose your ranking on the search engines.<br /><br />The amount and quality of links you need will depend on the competitiveness of the keyword phrases for which you are optimizing. If you put in the time and work on your link building efforts over time you will see results in the long run.<br /><br />Article directories work with many different partners and by writing articles your articles can show up on many different sites. Your best bet in these times is to write articles and submit it to article directories. By using article submission services and directory submission services you are able to increase your ranking to your website, by submitting you are creating one way links back to your site.<br /><br />Using automated tools are not link farms, the reason for this is because you decide who you want to trade links with each and every week. Continue building quality links and you will see that in time it will all pay off.<br /><br />Getting the one-way link is more difficult to obtain than reciprocal links, but the pay off will come if you get solid long-term links and you will see the search engine ranking results increase.<br /><br /><br /></span></div></span></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-58764717760230181252007-02-01T23:43:00.000-08:002007-02-01T23:51:24.144-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong><em>Finding the Number of <span style="color:#ff6600;">Backlinks</span> to Your Site</em></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">One of the measurements of your website's popularity is the number of backlinks that point to it. A backlink is a link on another website that links to a page on your site.<br /><br />To measure this, you need a tool to tell you the number of your backlinks that are out there on the Net. Well, the tools are free if you know where to look for them.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#006600;"><em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Using Yahoo to Find the Number</span></strong></em><br /><br /></span>If you want to use Yahoo to find your number, enter a search in Yahoo in the following format replacing "your-website-name.com" with the website name on which you want a banklink count.<br /><br />linkdomain:www.your-website-name.com -site:www.your-website-name.com<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">There is a space between the first ".com" and the "-site". Your search will not work without it.<br /><br />Look at the top of the resulting search results page where Yahoo will conveniently tell you how many links it has for your site.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Using Windows Live Search to Find the Number<br /></em></span></strong><br /></span>To find what Windows Live Search knows about your site, go to Windows Live Search and enter the same search string that you used in Yahoo above. The results do not tell you the number of links, but it will tell you the number of pages it returned. Multiply the number of links per search results page by the number of pages and you get a rough estimate of the number of links.<br /><br />The link for Windows Live Search is http://search.live.com/.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Using Google to Find the Number of Backlinks to a Page</span></em></strong><br /><br />I have not found a way to use Google to find all the links to websites. However, you can find the links to a particular web page by going to Google and entering the following search term (replace "the-name-of-your-webpage.htm" with the exact name of the web page in question):<br /><br />link:www.the-name-of-your-webpage.htm<br /><br />(There are no spaces in the above search string).<br /><br />Remember that these backlinks enhance your website's rating with the search engines.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Page Rank and Backlinks<br /></em></span></strong><br />Another quick tip on backlinks ... The higher the page rank of the page where the backlink to your site is located, the more credible that link is considered by the search engines.<br /><br />Some sites that have high page rank are selling the right to publish backlinks on the site. Google says that it does not allow this, but it has to prove that this is happening so the practice continues. If you want first hand proof, go to http://www.buy-selltextlinks.com/.<br /><br />Another site that has an handy tool for evaluating backlinks is<br /><br />http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/backlink_checker_tool.html This tool will tell you the links, the page rank, and Alexa rank of each page containing your backlinks.<br /><br />With these tools, you can chart the growth of your backlink count and measure the success of your marketing plan for promoting your website.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></div></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-21313393040014901182007-02-01T02:29:00.000-08:002007-02-01T02:40:06.628-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#003300;"><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6600;">How To Be Sure Of Getting Listed In Web Directories</span><br /></em></strong></span><br />Adding your site to various web directories is perhaps the cheapest way of getting inbound links. Due to the nature of directories, the links are often of fairly good relevance. If you want your site to get listed, there are some things you should do, and even more you shouldn’t do.<br /><br />To get your site listed in as many directories as possible, you need to think about why they would want to list you. If you have a high quality site, chance is higher to get listed, but if your niche is popular, this might not always do the trick. Many directory owners find them selves with hundreds of submissions every day, it’s hard to keep up. When faced with piles of sites to review, it’s only natural to try to speed up the process. They don’t have enough time to spend, to give every site a fair chance. To improve your odds of getting listed, your site should impress – or at least be of good quality – even at a first glance.<br /><br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">This includes having a nice, clean design – not a clutter of banners and ads, no broken links and, in my opinion, no overuse of testimonials. If you have a site and/or products of high quality, you shouldn’t have to write about it, but yet sites literally made up of testimonials are fairly common.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><em>Choose the best category for your website.</em><br /></span><br />Be sure to take a moment or two to really find the most appropriate category for your site. Don’t submit to a parent category if a more detailed page would be more fitting. The potential loss in PR will be more than compensated for by the high relevance in the more detailed category.<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><em><span style="color:#3333ff;">Reciprocate whenever possible.</span></em><br /><br />Although many directories offer free submissions without reciprocal links, they – as any webmaster – also appreciate links. If you have link pages, you should try to reciprocate even if it takes a while longer. If you are submitting a web directory – or if your site is mainly consistent of links – reciprocating is pretty much a must at most directories.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><em>Don’t submit all your sites at once</em></span><br /><br />If you are running multiple sites of similar nature, submitting them all at once may seem too much for any webmaster reviewing them. Often the task of reviewing submissions can be lengthy, seeing virtually the same content on five sites will increase the importance of high quality sites.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><em>Don’t submit all your sub-pages</em></span><br /><br />If a directory allows deep linking – which is very rare for free submissions – it will almost always state it in the submission guidelines. If you do not see it, don’t bother submitting each and every sub-domain you can think of, it will only make your main URL less likely to be included.<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#3333ff;">No keyword stuffing</span></em><br /><br />Adding to many keywords in the Title-field is an almost certain way of not getting your site listed. Stick to the official title, or small variations of it. Try to alter the description of your website if you submit it to many directories, to add some variation to your targeted keywords.<br /><br />If you consider all these factors before submitting your sites to web directories, your chances for inclusion will increase, making it far easier to gain link popularity.<br /><br /><br /></span></div></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-83275696389794464382007-01-31T06:52:00.000-08:002007-01-31T08:17:31.444-08:00<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><strong><em>Promoting Your Website Online</em></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">At the end of the day, Google is just a machine with its every process determined by an algorithm. Its current algorithm decides the ranking of an indexed page based on its keyword density, quality of content and the number of links referring visitors to your site. To generate more visitors for your site as well as a higher ranking in search queries try the following:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#660000;">1.</span></strong> Acquire inbound links from sites that rank higher than yours:<br /><br /><span style="color:#660000;"><strong>A:</strong></span> Find a well-visited forum and open a membership. Begin posting with a link to your site included in your signature box. Every time a visitor views a thread your link will be displayed.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#993300;">B:</span></strong> Find a well-visited free articles site. Write an article, and submit it to their database. Include a link to your website in the allotted resource box. Every time a visitor searches for a topic relevant to your article, your work will appear and every time a visitor reads it, your link will be displayed. Encourage your article viral - the potential to generate more inbound links at an exponential rate.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#993300;">2.</span></strong> Look for a site that is related to yours. Send the webmaster a testimonial about his products, if he is selling any, or about the content of his site. The webmaster may publish your testimonial, and as a courtesy, may add a link to your site.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#993300;">3.</span></strong> Look for high traffic sites that sell products. Write reviews about them and post the same to your site or blog. Send the webmasters a link to your reviews, they may thank you with a link in return.readers to distribute your article for as long as they retain the resource box. This is critical in making<br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#993300;">4.</span></strong> Do some reciprocal linking - publishing another site's link in exchange for the site publishing yours.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#993300;">5.</span></strong> Subscribe to as many free directory listings and free advertising sites as you can find. They provide easy one-way links.<br /><br /><span style="color:#993300;"><strong>6.</strong></span> Consider paying for directory listings and advertising sites.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#993300;">7.</span></strong> Publish quality content. If you populate your site with original information, you may not have to look for links anymore, as webmasters would be knocking at your door asking if they could link their pages to your site.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-34703709112663572132007-01-29T22:22:00.000-08:002007-01-29T22:26:31.168-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#006600;">Driving Traffic to your Web Site with PPC</span><br /></span></span></em></strong><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Pay Per Click Search Engines are becoming one of the most popular ways to drive traffic to your website. It is very easy to set up a PPC campaign with one of the many PPC search engines out there. One of the best parts is that if you set it up correctly you can actually get traffic for as little as $0.10 per visitor.<br /><br />The first step to setting up a PPC search engine campaign is to pick a search engine to use. Both Google and Yahoo offer PPC options for you to use. I recommend using Google first because you can actually get traffic before they ask you to pay for it.<br /><br />The second step is to learn how to pick your keywords wisely. The best keywords are those that will give you a few visitors a week and won’t cost you very much for those visitors. If you can compile a list of 50-100 of these keywords you can really drive some good quality traffic to your site.<br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">The last step is to test your campaign over and over again. Change your keywords as you discover that some of them are not pulling you very good traffic or none at all. Google is the best about this because they track all the stats you need for you. You have to continually test until you get the results you want.<br /><br />So basically in order to drive a ton of quality traffic to your website with PPC you need to pick a PPC search engine, learn how to choose good keywords, and test your campaign over and over. This is how you can build your business from a small business to a very profitable venture.<br /><br />Learn more about building quality traffic with this FREE Traffic Report.

But can you get a bit of a traffic boost as well?<br /><br />Sure. Sometimes not in the way you think…<br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;"><strong>1. Join<br /></strong></span><br />Join Google Groups if you haven’t already. Join discussions if you haven’t in a while. It’s going to be more difficult to apply theory to an experience you haven’t had. The Google Groups experience is similar to participating in forums, but it’s not exactly the same thing.<br /><br />And, as we say in Vegas, you can’t win if you don’t play.<br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;"><strong>2. Participate</strong></span><br /><br />You’re not going to make much happen by lurking. Say something smart. Get to know other people. Start a group of your own in an area that’s needed and invite people you know.<br /><br />Not an expert? So what. Ask questions instead and expand your knowledge. If you don’t want to become a guru, you can always find one to interview through Google Groups and then post it on your site as a traffic draw.<br /><br />And guru or not, the more your name is out there, the more people will be curious about your profile, or your link, and end up at your site.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">3. Leave a link in your signature – where appropriate</span></strong><br /><br />In some Google Groups, such as those set up for article distribution, you’ll be encouraged to leave your link. In others, you may be specifically asked not to do so. Learn the rules of each group and abide by them.<br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">4. Fill out your profile.</span></strong><br /><br />This is new at Google Groups. There’s a space where you can talk about yourself, and put your web link. No matter how restrictive the group is about web links, no one can keep you from putting your link in your profile.<br /><br />Remember to be specific about what you do at some point in your “About Me” space.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">5. Find Groups that are made for promotion and networking<br /></span></strong><br />How? Search for phrases like “submit articles”, “network” or “promote”. Groups that have these in their description are going to be of great help to you. Then sort by topics you’re interested in or knowledgeable about as well.<br /><br />Once you find these groups, don’t be afraid to jump in and take action. Read the guidelines if the group has them, and dive right in – that’s why they were created.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">6. Identify Your Fellow Power Users</span></strong><br /><br />Few people talk about this step. I find though, that a great way to learn the smart thing to do is to look at what the people smarter than me are doing, not to mention how they're getting things done..<br /><br />Many of these power users are your competition outside of Google Groups, or people you’ll want to partner with there and elsewhere, whether they're moderators, owners, or just really active participants<br /><br />Be the person who brings something to the table and it could mean many future opportunities to publicize yourself.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">7. Stealth Study</span></strong><br /><br />This is a more in-direct method. Put some creative thought behind it, and it will give you priceless insight into what your potential clients want. It might even help you decide what your next product’s focus should be.<br /><br />In the top navigation of Google Groups, next to your name, you should see a link for “My Groups”. Within the menu, you should see an envelope next to a link that says “Group Alerts”. (If you have Google Alerts, you can also get to this from there.)<br /><br />You can set this up to send you an email every time a certain topic is mentioned in a Google Group discussion. Then you can quickly join the discussion if you can provide the answer, or just make your own private knowledge base of common questions.<br /><br />I like to think of Google Groups as a neighborhood of communities. The central point of its existence is discussion, but there's no problem with posting the signs to where a discussion can be continued elsewhere - so long as you don't litter the street with your flyers.<br /><br /><br /></span></span>aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-47446139942509627212007-01-28T01:09:00.000-08:002007-01-28T01:14:11.998-08:00<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#993399;"><strong><em>How to Make Money With Blogs<br /></em></strong></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">One year ago, my father asked me, the young internet entrepreneur, "What's a blog?" I paused for minute. I had heard the term before ... but I couldn't answer him. I honestly didn't know.<br /><br />Over the past few years, blogs have become the new craze of the internet. First it was online diaries, then online communities like MySpace, followed by the personal blog. The types of blogs vary from personal to business to narrative. Some blogs are so popular that they have Google PageRanks of 6 and above (on a scale of 10), and get hundreds, if not thousands of hits a day.<br /><br />Savvy business people have realized that blogs can be an excellent way to promote themselves, their business, or make easy money. The most popular way that this is done is through Google Adsense. Using this, bloggers are able to sell advertising off of their blog and collect cash just for keeping a blog. Those with very successful blogs are raking in the cash simply off of their Adsense ads. It is very easy and free to start doing this, and many have cashed in, and in big ways. Some blog hosts have even allowed their users to ad Adsense using the same account.<br /><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Other people simply keep blogs to get the word out about new products or promotions. A company may keep a blog to keep readers interested in what they have to offer. This is easy and free advertising.<br /><br />New internet entrepreneurs have gotten their feet wet with blogs by promoting affiliate products and selling advertising.<br /><br />So what has caused the explosion of the popularity of blogs? First, the obvious potential and flexibility is a selling point. However, the biggest reason that blogs have become so popular is a result of the availability of them. They are free to start and easy to keep up. The most popular of blog hosts, Blogger.com, indexes hundreds of new blogs every single day. Today, anyone interested can keep a blog, for whatever reason.<br /><br />Some people keep multiple blogs for multiple reasons, or to promote multiple products. In this way, marketers are able to leverage their opportunity to create buzz.<br /><br />If you are interested in starting a blog, it is easy to start. Locate a free blog host such as Blogger.com, and complete the 5-minute sign up. From there, you can choose a template, import your own HTML, and add Adsense, if you so desire. Within minutes you are up and running and ready to do your thing.<br /><br />With the ease of use and exceptional potential that keeping a blog provides, it's incredible that people didn't tap into this gold mine years ago. If you are creative enough, you can have huge success using this free, easy method of marketing.<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Article Source: http://ezarticles.net<br /></span><br />Ryan Moran is a writer, online entrepreneur, and a real estate investor who has grown his internet enterprise into a flourishing business.

Because many PayPal accounts are already funded with cash, most eBay buyers don't even see the money that leaves their accounts. This smooth, easy payment process encourages sales. Those who use PayPal prefer to use it over </span><a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink3" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,3);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,3);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,3);" href="http://www.ezarticles.net/Article/Why-Your-eBay-Business-Needs-eBay/23536#" target="_top">credit cards</a> <span style="color:#000000;">or personal checks, because it is much faster and easier for the buyer. Therefore, if you do not accept PayPal payments in your</span> <a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink4" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,4);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,4);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,4);" href="http://www.ezarticles.net/Article/Why-Your-eBay-Business-Needs-eBay/23536#" target="_top">auctions</a><span style="color:#000000;">, you are likely to be passed over by perspective buyers, and they will buy from someone who accepts PayPal payment even if the price is higher. Yes, many will pay more for the luxury of paying via PayPal. Therefore, if YOU are the one that accepts this type of payment, and your competitor does not, you may even receive a higher price.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">However, if you neglect to accept PayPal payments, there were no doubt be less people bidding on your item, which naturally decreases the amount that you will receive for you product. Also, remember that people are sometimes more likely to bid on items that already have several bids, and accepting PayPal can encourage this idea to work in your favor.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">Using PayPal is also beneficial to you because it allows you to receive payment much faster and, therefore, gives you the green light to ship sooner. Faster shipment means the potential of receiving a better feedback rating, and it snowballs from there. PayPal also allows you deposit the funds directly into your bank account. You could literally sell an item on eBay and have the money in your hand in less than an hour.</span></div><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">If you insist on only accepting personal checks and other slow methods of payments, you will not receive as many bids. In return, you will not get as much as you could for your items. You will make fewer sales, and payment will be slower. In return, you will receive fewer points for positive feedback, and your growth will be stunted.</span></div><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">If you want to seriously compete in the eBay marketplace and use dropshipping as a means to create a stream of income, implementing PayPal into your business is not only necessary, but absolutely essential to your success.</span></div><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><a href="http://ezarticles.net/">Article Source</a>: <a href="http://ezarticles.net">http://ezarticles.net</a><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">For more eBay tips and strategies, visit</span> <a href="http://www.dropshipprofits.org/" target="_blank">www.DropshipProfits.org</a> <span style="color:#000000;">Daniel Westfield is an internet entrepreneur who has used the internet to quit his job and work full time from home.

Search engines are an excellent source of traffic, but in order to utilize them to their full potential, some effort is required. </div><br /><div align="justify">Before starting any search engine optimization campaign it is important to ensure that you are targeting the correct set of keyword phrases for your business. Sometimes what might seem to be the right set of keyword phrases turn out to be the opposite. When searching for the right phrases for your business it is important to keep three things in mind: Relevance, Popularity and Competition.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The first speaks for itself and should be obvious to all. Keyword Relevance has to do with how much a keyword phrase relates to your products or services. If you rank well for a popular search phrase and receive a lot of traffic from it, this still doesn't help you if the traffic doesn't translate to sales or leads. For instance, let's say you've found a good niche phrase that is fairly popular and has a high KEI index - "free keyword ranking report". So you optimize for this keyword phrase, rank well, and receive more traffic. However, if your website doesn't offer a free keyword ranking report or have any information on how to receive a free keyword ranking report, these extra visitors will not actually convert to customers. It is important to remember not to get too caught up in the popularity and KEI of a keyword phrase. You must also think about keyword relevance when conducting your keyword research.</div><br /><div align="justify">Keyword popularity refers to the number of people at any one time that may be searching for your keyword phrase. If your website is optimized well for a keyword phrase that a lot of people are searching for, more traffic will be brought to your site.</div><br /><div align="justify">Keyword competition is an area that some newcomers to SEO fail to examine. When a particular keyword phrase is popular, this usually means that there are many other websites out there competing for top rankings of that phrase in the search engines. The number of competing websites is the number of results a search engine returns for a specific keyword query. Optimizing for a competitive keyword phrase can make it much more difficult for you to achieve successful search engine rankings for these phrases.</div><br /><div align="justify">The Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) is a qualitative measure of how easily it is to optimize for a particular keyword phrase. KEI is essentially a matter of 'supply and demand'. Ideally, we want to select keywords that are extremely popular but aren't very competitive. This would result in a very high KEI and take very little effort to achieve successful rankings.</div><br /><div align="justify">By now, your list is probably pretty full of very competitive, single-word terms such as "MP3" or "books" or "computers" or whatever. Scratch them. This might sound harsh, but if you're a novice, you have no chance of achieving a top listing under such terms. Even many (dare I say most) professionals tend to avoid them, as they are extremely competitive. There are hundreds of thousands of sites targeting them and even with excellent search engine optimization skills, they are very tough to conquer. What you should do is to narrow it down a little. Think about different variations of these popular keywords. If you were originally thinking about the keyword "books", how about "buy used books online" or "antique bookstore"? These terms would be, not easy, but easier to rank well under. It is far better to be in the top 10 for a search term with medium usage than to rank 500th for a heavily used term. Select keyphrases that do get searched, but that aren't too competitive.</div><br /><div align="justify">Choosing the right keyword phrases to target can be the deciding factor between a successful and unsuccessful search engine optimization campaign. When doing your research, remember to keep in mind your business goals and the three factors discussed above. Is it always easier to work with the market trends instead of against them.</div><div align="justify"><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Webs Hosters have been in the website hosting business for 10 years.

There are plenty of ways for you to increase traffic to your website, some of them are free and some not.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">One way to increase traffic to your website is to market it by word of mouth. If you tell a few people and they visit your website and like it, they may recommend it to others. The more your website stands out from the rest and the more it offers visitors, the more likely you are to get visitors or traffic.</div><br /><div align="justify">The way to draw traffic to your website is through the <a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink2" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,2);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,2);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,2);" href="http://www.ezarticles.net/Article/7-Ways-To-Increase-Traffic-To-Your-Websites/22397#" target="_top">search engines</a>. There are a number of ways of doing this. The most obvious is to undertake some keyword research. Find out what words people use when looking for websites such as yours. If, for example, your website is trying to promote <a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink3" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,3);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,3);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,3);" href="http://www.ezarticles.net/Article/7-Ways-To-Increase-Traffic-To-Your-Websites/22397#" target="_top">home businesses</a> to women at home, find the best search terms, e.g., work at home, <a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink4" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,4);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,4);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,4);" href="http://www.ezarticles.net/Article/7-Ways-To-Increase-Traffic-To-Your-Websites/22397#" target="_top">work at home</a> moms or the short form, wahms. When you have discovered which is the most popular, use that term in your website address and in the stuff that you write about.</div><br /><div align="justify">Yet another way to increase traffic to your website is to <a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink5" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,5);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,5);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,5);" href="http://www.ezarticles.net/Article/7-Ways-To-Increase-Traffic-To-Your-Websites/22397#" target="_top">find someone</a> you know with a similar site and exchange links. The idea is that you paste a link to their website in your pages and they do the same for you. Search engines pick up on inbound links the more you have the more likely you are to come up on a Google search. Some website owners pay for links to their websites to increase traffic. Another thing to do is to get your site listed in one of the online site directories.</div><br /><div align="justify">Join a forum, preferably one that deals with the same issues as your website and you will be able to chat to other people about your business. People dont tend to advertise when they are chatting on a forum, so all you need to do is share your view about your business.</div><br /><div align="justify">There is a type of advertising that is known as Pay-per-click that can be used to increase traffic to your website - just be careful which program you choose. With these programs, you pay for the wording in the ads on your website. Those words that cost more tend to attract the most traffic. Try it for a short while. </div><br /><div align="justify">Make sure that the content on your website is worth reading. If people visit and dont find anything that interests them or that offers something, they wont return. Remember that for online businesses, content is king.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><a href="http://ezarticles.net/"><span style="font-size:85%;">Article Source</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">: </span><a href="http://ezarticles.net"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://ezarticles.net</span></a></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Learn Underground Marketing Tactics and jump start your online success.

In other words the lack of them can greatly hamper the progress and success of any site.<br /><br />Links to a web site play two major roles. Firstly they direct immediate traffic from the site where they are located to the target web site. Secondly, they improve a web sites’ ranking. If you get to the top ranks of a popular keywords search phrase, it could mean huge free traffic for a long time to come.<br /><br />Marketing Companies such as Majon.com (one of the oldest Internet Marketing companies on the planet) have plenty of services that provide you with one-way links.<br /><br />You just need to take a closer look at any high traffic successful web site and you will immediately notice that they tend to have a very high number of links pointing towards them. It is not too difficult to get this kind of information on any web site and there are a host of options available. You can for instance use the Google search engine by entering the complete address of the site and then after you get the results, clicking on the link that says, "web sites linking to this site." Other tools for measuring the number of links to a site include the Technorati.com site and a host of other sites and available software.<br /><br />Some webmasters usually work very hard at swapping links with other sites (reciprocal links). Unfortunately this is considered to be a very inferior kind of link by search engines. While reciprocal links may be useful at driving traffic towards a web site, they will tend to have a very minimal impact on a web sites’ ranking with search engines. It is clear that search engines are increasingly giving much lower significance and weight to reciprocal links.<br /><br />Actually what any web site really needs are lots of one-way links that point at it. One of the easiest and quickest way of getting such links is to purchase them through a reputable web site or business that will purchase links at various relevant sites. The advantage is that links are purchased once and are usually more or less permanent.<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><br />Terry Detty, 42 years old, finds internet marketing his passion.<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *aaranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525371025488619795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636372803098164226.post-3336717032457571632007-01-20T00:52:00.000-08:002007-01-20T01:01:04.896-08:00<strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Google Adsense</span> Is Easy To Start <span style="color:#ff6600;">But Not That Easy To Success</span> </span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">If You Do Not Know How</span></em></strong><br /><br />You have heard or read about how easy you can earn or make online money through the integration of Google Adsense to you website.
