Should I Use SEO Or PPC To Promote My Web Site?

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

The beauty of the web to Internet marketers is that millions of people can be accessed from any computer desk in the world at a price of pennies per thousand, if not cheaper. Having said that, there is a lot of competition which makes the fight for a rise from obscurity not as easy as it might first seem on the face of things.

In the early days of the web, there were not so many web sites so merely having one put your firm out in the forefront in its field. However, these days, only having a web site is definitely not enough - each boy and his granny has a web site.

Therefore you require a strategy to make your web site more famous. The two most successful strategies are SEO (search engine optimization) and PPC (pay per click).

Most surfers use a search engine to find what they want on the Net and most people using this method use Google. Therefore you ought to be optimizing your site for Google. There are thousands of books and pieces written on this subject, but basically it means refining your web site so that Google is in no doubt whatsoever which keywords you would like to rank for.

SEO methods take time and thought to implement, but once they are in place they are there for ever or until you modify the point of your site. For instance, if you wished to start selling flower pots instead of flowers. SEO is the permanent, but slow-acting approach to promoting. It is also cheap, because you can do it yourself.

Pay per click promoting is faster-acting than SEO, but it is more expensive. With PPC advertising, such as Google’s Adsense / Adwords system, you pay someone (through Google) to host your adverts, but you only pay when someone clicks through to your web site.

In theory this means that you are only paying for people who come to your web site. These people are them expected to purchase, but the fact is that there are tyre-kickers out there, so you will end up paying for clicks that do not result in a sale.

Not only that, but the first place in the PPC advertisers’ ranking goes to the highest bidder, so you might be number one in the list today and number six tomorrow. But no one will tell you, you have to remain on top of it.

However, if you get it correct and that is not as easy as it appears, results can be almost immediate. There is very little delay - the campaign starts today and so does the selling and the billing. If you get it wrong, you could use up your budget in hours without earning a single cent. If you get it correct, you could have sold out the same day.

The truth of the thing is that all web sites ought to be optimized for the search engines anyway, but you might like to conduct an extraordinary campaign at extraordinary times of the year like Christmas. The two types of marketing are not mutually exclusive.

Which Affiliate Programs Should You Choose?

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

Obviously, the first filter that you ought to apply to any potential affiliate programs is relevance. While thinking about which affiliate programs you ought to opt for, you have to judge how that affiliate program fits into your web site. The reason for this is that visitors to your web site will expect to see something on the topic matter.

If I Google ‘teddy bears’ and when I get to the site, there are just ads for rocking horses, Forex and winter cruises, I am not going to be best pleased. The first principle is to offer people what they are searching for - stay on topic.

Does the supplier charge anything? Some suppliers may try to charge you a ‘joining fee’, a ‘registration fee’ or ‘handling fee’ - simply give them a wide berth. It ought to be free to join an affiliate scheme, you should not have to pay to have the right to sell someone else’s goods.

In a similar vein, what is the minimum payout level? A lot of places will not pay out less than $50, some even $100. This is a rip off. It is a factor to help you choose between one supplier and another - a deciding factor. If you are using three or four suppliers on your web site, you may have to earn $300-400 before you are paid out!

Do they charge to process your payment as well? They should not really, does your boss make you pay to receive your wages? It is the same principle. And how frequently do they pay out, weekly, monthly, quarterly?

Do you like their creatives, that is their banners and other adverts? There is a great deal of proof that the regular, old fashioned banner ad of 468×60 is not very effective any more. Look for variety - boxes and skyscrapers. Otherwise, are you able to create your own?

Do they publish data on how effective their creatives are? What is the average conversion rate for every banner? That is, how many views does it take to get a hit and how many hits to make a sale?

Do they permit you to build a downline? That is, if someone visits your site and decides to sell orchids as well, will you be given a part of the pay out on that affiliates sales? You should be.

What is the amount of the average sale and how much pay out will you make on that? Actually, you want to be getting at least a few dollars a sale; a few cents is no use, unless you are receiving thousands of visitors a day.

Create a couple of questions and send them to ’support’. Do they give satisfactory answers? Are they quick to respond? And last but not least, would you by anything from the firm? Does their web site look professional? Is the sales page convincing?

There is such a lot of choice when it comes to selecting a supplier that you can afford to have high standards. Take your time, go for the best, and you are less likely to have problems later.

SEO Techniques For Creating Backlinks

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

The Web is increasing day by day, but it is unclear whether there is a higher percentage of surfers joining the Net or a higher percentage of web sites. My guess is that the Internet is fracturing so that there is a Chinese Internet, and English Internet, a Spanish Internet and so on, but the number of people creating web sites aimed at the English-speaking market is increasing the fastest, which means that competition is increasing.

There are several SEO techniques for building backlinks. (By the way, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization). In fact there are many, but some of them are not very good. The basic principle of building backlinks is that search engines rank sites according to their popularity. So, if you enter a search phrase into a search engine it will return a list of web sites.

That list of web sites will be ranked according to popularity and the search engine judges popularity by the number of web sites linking to it. Therefore, the objective of all web masters is to create enough backlinks to rank on the first page of Google and if possible in the top six.

Here are some techniques for building backlinks.

The number one best way of getting backlinks is composing helpful pieces and adding a link to your web site in the by-line at the bottom of it. This piece ought to be posted to piece databases. Most article databases need the piece and the link to be on a similar subject, but others do not.

Another decent technique for building backlinks is to contribute to blogs and forums which are on a topic related to your web site. In this case, you should create a signature file (sigfile) and attach the sigfile to all your posts to those blogs and forums. If you try this, the posts should be relevant and helpful and not at all pushy or you run the risk of having your account closed in which case you will lose all the links you have already built.

You could try using traffic exchanges to get backlinks. Surfing traffic exchanges does not work effectively for most forms of web sites, but if you open an account and enter your web sites in to your account, search engines will find your links and credit you with a backlink. If you do this with a hundred TE’s that is 100 unreciprocated backlinks, which is a quite valuable leg-up.

Links should be from web sites that are related or relevant to yours to be of the most use. Some web masters swap links with the web masters of related sites. The worries here are: 1] you have to continuously check whether they have taken your link down 2] you have to know the popularity of the page that holds your link (does anyone or any search engine ever go there?) 3] you will ‘leak’ visitors out of your links to the others’ sites. Will you get more that you lose?

How To Get Customers To Your Website.

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

If you are trying to make money online, then you will need to promote a website, whether you own the URL of that site or whether it is an affiliate link is not important

It doesn’t matter which scheme you operate, the problem is the same -how do you get enough interested visitors to your site, so that, if they want your product and have the money, they will have a chance to buy it, before they get bored and click away.

This is the biggest common problem that every single marketer faces, and it is called attracting targeted traffic, getting relevant visitors or something very similar. All the phrases mean the same ultimately. If no one can see your product they cannot buy it or if your visitors are mainly young people interested in football, it is no good trying to sell them knitting needles.

So, obviously you need as many visitors to your website, who are interested in your product, as you can handle. This means that you need to be highly ranked in the search engines so that people can find your site. The biggest and most often-used search engine is Google. So, how do you get your site ranked highly in Google?

There are millions of books and ebooks on the subject, but without exception, the serious ones come to the same conclusion (unless they were written by self-interested safe-list or traffic exchange owners) and that conclusion is that you need links to your site.

Very few people will honestly admit to knowing how Google ranks sites, but most people agree that the more sites linking to your site the better. This has lead some webmasters to try exchanging links with each other. It sounds an easy way to get links but Google can recognize reciprocal links. The best links are one-way links, because it demonstrates that someone values your site enough to want to be associated with it. These are called back links.

So, the real problem comes down to how to get enough back links to your site to persuade Google (and the other search engines) that you run such an important site that they should rank it highly for your chosen keywords, which should be relevant to the content of your website. How do you do that?

There are many strategies you can employ such as traffic exchanges, safelists, FFAs, forums and writing articles, but to be blunt, the first three of these are a total waste of time. I used to own a safelist and have wasted thousands of hours on traffic exchanges, all for nothing. Posting to forums can be worthwhile, but then ONLY if the link on your post is a follow link. If it is not, it doesnt do any good and most are no follow links. This means that you have to do some research to find the forums where it is worth you posting to (more on this later). That leaves writing articles as the ONLY sure way to get rock-solid back-links to your site based on relevant keywords.

So, you write an article on a subject relevant to your site stuffed (but not over-stuffed) with relevant keywords and then what? Thats easy! You search Google for article directories and blogs, sign up to a couple of dozen and post your article to them.

And that is the way to get the sort of links to get your site highly ranked, so that people can find you and have a chance to buy what you are selling. The only catch is that Google will expect to see new links appearing on the Internet on a regular basis, which means writing and posting time after time after time after time ad infinitum. Or does it?

Yes, it does! But the process can be automated and automation is the key to online success. Set up a proven, successful process and let it run ” day and night: all day and all night! I use a system that helps you turn your article into thousands of variations and posts them to thousands of sites, creating thousands of back-links!

But don’t think that these variations are just spun! (The industry standard way of creating article variations is to use spinning software to substitute synonyms and pseudo-synonyms eg crimson for scarlet in a random way. This works to a certain degree but can produce pure gibberish too sometimes - who would recognize Crimson O’Hara?). The system I use does not employ this method, but still produces thousands or variants all written by human hand. Then it sends them out to article directories and blogs etc.. Thousands of them. In fact today, there are over 11,000 sites on their list and the list is kept fresh on a monthly basis. Most similar lists are not well maintained because it is so time-consuming to do. Therefore, many contain lots of dead, useless links.

This system takes your article, creates thousands of variations and then posts them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line, which is also variable. But not only that! It only posts your article to lists and categories that deal with sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you choose! So, for example, you could write three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 150 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 150 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 75 sites a day.

That would give your site at least 3,000 links in a month or 100 a day ” all for 2-3 hours work! If you wrote one article a day (an hours work) and it got posted to only 1,000 relevant sites, you would have 30,000 relevant links in a month. And that does not include the bloggers, ezine publishers and webmasters who paste your article into their publication with your link. You could easily end up with 40-50k links. But it doesnt even stop there, because the article will be live for years and years, quietly beavering away at getting you noticed by the search engines and the people searching them. How many sales could that get you?

If you would like to see an example of this systems output, you are reading one ” this article and if you would like to find out how you can do the same, just follow the link in my by-line attached to it.

How Much Would You Give To Be Number 1 In Google?

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

I was just wondering whether you realized how much article submission software has improved over recent years? For example, this article was written and submitted to thousands of directories on auto-pilot over a period of a month by the world’s most advanced article management software.

Please don’t miss out on this, it is that important if you need to promote any site on the Internet.

Frankly, there is simply no other traffic generation system that works better, costs less, and is completely immune to search engine changes.

Remember, this is not some fancy new black-hat technique. It is completely legitimate, completely solid, and completely reliable. This system will take your article, create thousands of variations and then post them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line. But not only that! It only posts your article to sites that want sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you choose! So you could write say, three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 300 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 100 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 50 sites a day.

What IS really new is that this already well- established technique has now been put on steroids. It combines, for the first time ever, the power of article submissions with the benefits of unique content. And it does it in a way that is simplicity itself to use.

It is worth devoting some time investigating this software, if you are seriously trying to sell something online. It will make your life easier by automating a lot of your article submission problems.

Remember that an organic link on the first page of Google provides about 6 times the traffic of a sponsored (Adsense) link on the same page. Just how much would that be worth to you each month? Now multiply that by, say, a hundred or a thousand and you will begin to understand the value of this system!

Getting That Number 1 Google Position.

Friday, May 7th, 2010

If you haven’t yet automated your article submission, it can only be for one of three reasons:

1. You simply don’t want or need any additional free traffic to your website,

2. You haven’t seen my previous articles, or

3. You still haven’t appreciated the power and incredible value of this system. i.e. how this will dramatically boost your profits.

If you fall into the first category, then please move on to the next article, this one just doesn’t apply to you.

Otherwise, please take a few minutes to read this article thorough, as it could literally mean the difference between success and failure for your Internet business this year. You see, people like to make things complicated, but making money online is actually really simple. It does not matter whether you are marketing your own product, promoting affiliate links, or making money from Adsense or “click flipping”, it all comes down to just two things:

Conversion and Traffic.

Conversion comes first. You need to have an offer that people want. That “offer” might be a product, or it might be an enticing advert (e.g. Google Adsense) that people want to click on. And you need some kind of presentation (such as a sales letter) that encourages them to take the action that you want them to take (eg buy the product or click on the advert).

In many ways this is the easy part. Most people can cobble together a half-decent website or sales letter that will convert at least some visitors into money.

But then, of course, you need ‘traffic’. Shed-loads of it. The more people that come to your site, the more money you will make - especially if that traffic is highly targeted. But, given the number of websites on the Internet - all competing for the same traffic, just how do you get more visitors to your site?

Well, there are just three ways that people come to your site:

1. Visitors type your URL straight into their browser. That results from some sort of off-line promotion: it might be your business card, a radio advert, an article in a magazine or a conversation with a friend.

2. People click on a link somewhere. It might be in an email they received (eg from a friend or from an ezine they subscribed to), or it might be on another website they have visited.

3. Or they search in a search engine like Google, see your website in the listings, and then click on the hyperlink to go to your website.

And that is it. There is no other way for them to get to your website.

So, knowing that, how do you get more traffic? Simple:

1. Advertise your Internet presence in all your offline promotional materials.

2. Get lots of people to link to you, and lots of people to send out emails with your link in it.

3. Get a top position in the search engines.

Hmm. Simple, but not so easy. Just how do you achieve 2 and 3 without spending heaps of cash or getting banned by the search engines?

To understand this, we need to work out how the search engines operate. Once again, this is much easier than people think.

Search engines want lots of people to use them. To achieve that, they strive to deliver relevant and up-to-date content to people who do a search through them. But how do they determine what is relevant to your search?

There are really only two ways they can do that:

1. They scan your website and, using very sophisticated algorithms, they work out what the subject matter of your website is. The also look at how new or old it is, how recently it has been updated and so on. These are all known as on-page or on-site factors. You have direct control over many of these factors when you set up your site.

2. They look at what other people write about your website. In doing so, they look at two factors: how many people have links to your site (and what those links say) and also how important is the site that links to your site. An important ‘authority’ site that points to you is worth more than a whole list of unimportant sites. They also consider how old the links that point to you are, and a number of other factors about the link and the context in which it is found.

In conjunction with this, the search engines are always looking out for websites that attempting to fool them into thinking that they are more important, more relevant or more popular than they actually are. Which is why the so-called ‘black-hat’ techniques quickly lose their effectiveness.

So, to get to the top of the search engines you need to do two things:

1. You can optimize your on-page factors: there is plenty of information on- and off-line it about how to do that. It is not difficult but, on its own, it is also not enough.

2. Get lots of high quality, one-way, relevant links to your website from as many other websites as possible.

So, how do you get people to link to you?

1. Have a fantastic product so that they just, spontaneously, want to tell others about your site.

2. Pay others to link to you - buy a text link, or offer an affiliate program.

3. Exchange links with them - but reciprocal links are clearly not worth as much as one-way links and it is a lot of work to do this effectively.

4. Provide them with fresh, unique content that adds value to their site in return for which they agree to post a back-link to you. Many sites are constantly looking for fresh, unique content. They get this content by traipsing through the article directories or by subscribing to article submission services.

Therefore, if you distribute articles to these directories, your articles will end up on both the directories themselves AND on the niche sites that pick up and use these articles. AND some of these sites are likely to be valuable “authority”-type sites. Of course, whether the article is used and by whom, depends on the quality of your article.

So, as you can see, this last method is the simplest and most powerful. It gives you hundreds or thousands of one way back-links, from relevant, niche sites, all for free. All you need is some way to get a different, unique, article to each of those directories and ezine publishers. Which is, of course, exactly what our software does.

But wait a minute! It doesn’t stop there. The real power behind this method comes when you use it regularly. Preferably at least once a week. Imagine getting 200 to 1800 new permanent one way links every week! By the end of a year, you could easily have 50,000 or more relevant, quality, one-way links to your site! And you can connect the submission process to a timer to put everything on autopilot!

That is the real power of this system’s software and that is why it beats every other traffic generation and SEO system out there.

So , there you have it, unless you haven’t got an online presence at all, isn’t it time you harnessed this power for your own business? Click on our link below right now to get the early-bird discount and get a fantastic bunch of bonuses:

Putting Your Business on Autopilot

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I’m an Internet marketer of several years standing and I own a couple of different sorts of online business activities. However, being a sole trader, working alone and necessarily having only a set number of hours in the day, my business activities also have their natural limits. It stands to reason: one person can only spend up to about 16 hours a day and even then no one can keep that pace up for long.

So, the size of an enterprise is limited by the number of people working for it or put another way, by the number of man-hours devoted to it. I suppose that what I’m trying to say is that it’s hard to make a good living when you work by yourself.

And so, with this in mind, I have been on the look out for methods to automate pieces of my business for a long time. I have already taken several steps in this direction. For example: I gave up writing HTML ‘by hand’ a long time ago and bought a great editor, which I may tell you about one day; I moved to a web-hosting company that offers unlimited autoresponders amongst other features and I am hiring some fantastic article submission software.

However, that left me with little more time nor money than before, although I was running several times as many sites as before and still doing it all on my own. I knew that there was obviously something I was missing, but I didn’t know what it was.

Then, one day, while surfing, I came across an article on the Internet and it sort of made sense, no blinding flash or anything like of that sort, but a slow understanding over the next few hours that the article was telling it like I wanted to run my websites.

Anyway, I bought the ebook and have followed its advice since then without regret. I now work about the same hours as before, but I operate ten times as many websites and the money is much better.

You may be wondering, how that could be? Well, the truth of the matter is that this ebook showed me how to intertwine all the processes of promoting and developing websites, so that they can take care of themselves for greater periods of time. The time I used to spend on tinkering with websites and SEO to correct minor errors or things I’d omitted, I now put into new projects.

Nowadays, my websites, once they have been set up, need fairly little maintenance, which means that I can do something else with the extra time. I choose to work, but others may decide to take the time off. It’s very difficult to think of a better deal.

This intriguing ebook on automating your Internet income will give you at least a day out of five off and maybe even more and that makes it worth looking into on its own right. The ebook is fully guaranteed for 90 days, with a no-quibble, full money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. Moreover, I promise you that you will learn how to put your Internet business on autopilot and learn how to use your time more usefully.

Starting an Internet Marketing Business

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

There are new business opportunities growing in recently-invented sectors of activity since the development of the electronic market. So, how do people make money on the Internet? Well, it does not matter whether we are talking about businesses selling products or services, the basics of whether an Internet business is working out or not is best measured by sales.

The growth of competition has forced small and large companies alike to adopt all manner of strategies to become visible and profitable online but because the ways of achieving these goals are highly complex, a new kind of business has appeared: the Internet marketing business. Who are these people and how can they assist with business promotion? Firstly, most people lack marketing knowledge and understand very little of the artifices used to promote, create a campaign and support a product or service at the top of a search engine.

Internet marketing businesses are most often teams of people with good professional marketing training that have made a profession out of studying the principles of the Internet as a reflection of real-life market transactions. The range of services provided by such companies is vast and comprehensive. Some of them can help you start a business from scratch and build everything you need for online representation, starting with web page design. What the average service company requires from an Internet marketing business is the creation of advertising campaigns and their monitoring over a prolonged period of time.

The goal of such campaigns is the growth of sales and overall company profitability. However, there are different types of services that Internet marketing businesses can cover depending on the needs of the client. Therefore, you can choose between search engine marketing, keyword marketing, web site marketing strategies, sales leads, sales lead management and so on.

It can get even more specific too; there can be further targeted objectives. Thus, some companies need to convert visitors into leads, others want to improve their search engine ranking and small businesses often require local or regional promotion and so on.

And last but not least, Internet marketing businesses are often a very good source of tips for the more knowledgeable web developers, who manage the optimization of their own sites themselves but still need tips on ways and means, tools and marketing techniques.

A good example is the choice of the software necessary to optimize a web page and monitor it constantly, improving the activity and increasing the company’s profitability. What is the criteria for recognizing a valuable piece of software? Well, it is not easy, but good software is frequently fairly expensive, but it should not be very dear. It should automate quite a lot of the processes you require and it has to produce readily-understandable reports that enable you to alter your website.

Internet Marketing for Home Businesses

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Broad-spectrum marketing guidelines often have to be bent, modified and modified to relate to the peculiarity of home business Internet promotion needs. If we were to study the disparity between corporate and home business marketing, we’d have a mutual core of ideas and a enormous amount of dissimilar features that make these two instances stand apart.

Home businesses need highly targeted promotion, as the size of the firms compels them to serve only a reduced market section, very often situated in the region where the firm is located. This means making sure a small business gets adequate visibility to enlarge the proceeds generated only by attracting certain sorts of customers. This is called niche marketing.

Consider the following example. Let’s take the case of a massage salon that has just opened. It is run by family members, but things could be a lot better if there were more customers. Which is the best home business advertising perspective and approach for this case? Well, it should all begin with the construction of a good quality relevant web site that would do justice to the home business, and present it in the most attractive of terms.

The pages ought to incorporate pictures from the salon, the list of services and charges, the staff and their training, and the contact details as the most important of all. Maybe a few photos of the staff, premises and special equipment too, if it looks right.

Then, let us not forget that people are attracted by special deals. They like to know that they will get a good deal and that this is definitely not a uncommon occurrence. Home business Internet marketing solutions will involve the creation and alternation of all sorts of packages, price discounts, promotional gifts and other methods meant to appeal to new clientele. For example, if a client agrees to pay for a month’s contract in advance, he/she will benefit from a large discount from the starting price. With every satisfied client, the business may in fact win another ten potential ones.

Stories about achievements and positive service-product reviews ought to be posted often on the website in the testimonial section as home business Internet marketing. Web page content will also play an important part for the success of a small home business. One of the best methods to keep regulars coming back to your website, is to write relevant reviews.

While they are reading your reviews, they will see your special offers and if they are good enough, you will get another booking. Articles should be well-written, but in your own words, even in idiomatic, local dialect language, if you want. You could write articles on your products, the qualifications your staff have achieved, the type of equipment you employ and all other topics pertinent to your business.

Some people will stop by your site time and time again just to see what’s new. In order to retain your clients’ curiosity and interest, you ought to keep coming up with something appealing, astonishing or related and useful for the client. Even if you advertise a service conducted at home, information is still the key to clever promotion. So, keep writing at least once or twice a month and stay by the telephone to receive the flood of new bookings.

New business opportunities have appeared in newly-invented sectors of activity with the development of ecommerce. How do people make money on the Internet?
