Get More Traffic To Your Website or Blog Free

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:27:28 +0000

More traffic free Many people think that having a good website is all you need to get tons of visitors. Wrong answer. Getting traffic to your site takes hard work and diligence and is not accomplished overnight. Think about it this way – how are people supposed to know where to find your site if you don’t tell them? You must advertise. Here are some proven ways to advertise your site without spending [much] money:

Submit your site to as many search engines as you can. Here are some of the popular ones you can start with:

Alexa AltaVista AllTheWeb AOL Ask

DMOZ ExactSeek Excite GigaBlast Google

What-U-Seek Kanoodle Live Lycos LookSmart

MSN National Directory Yahoo SearchIt WebCrawler
Use a favicon.ico – see below.
If you have a Christian Website, be sure to submit it to all the Christian Directories. We have a list of about 50 of the most popular Christian Directories here. (sadly the list gets shorter by the month)
Have Dynamic content on your site – Message Board, Links Directory, Guest Book, Online Search, Picture Gallery, Quote of the day, News items, Site Search, Links Engine … It all makes for a more enjoyable experience for your visitors … and interested visitors come back.
Make sure you don’t have broken links on your site! There is nothing more annoying when one clicks a link and it does not work. There are hundreds of places you can go on the internet that will check your link validity. Use them.
Make sure your META TAGS are done right. Learn how to do this here.
Submit your site to as many privately run Link Directories/Search Engines as you can find. These will not generally boost your traffic in any major way but will help to maintain steady stream of qualified visitors.
Use Banners with care. See below.
Subscribe to the Usenet groups and advertise there. A good place to start is Google Groups
- Be sure to submit your site in appropriate groups!
- Be sure to signup with a backup email or you will get onto every spammers database!
- Be sure you don’t SPAM — only submit a write up of your site once to any given group.
Use social networking sites like Twitter, facebook, YouTube, Plaxo, Linkedin and others to get the word out.

OK, I DID EVERYTHING YOU SAY ON THIS PAGE BUT MY SITE STILL DOES NOT SHOW ON GOOGLE, YAHOO ETC. WHY NOT!!??

No one knows exactly how many sites there are on the whole of the internet but there are millions! And thousands more are being added every day! Let’s say, you run a bakery. You bake for diabetics. A search on Google showed the following results:

Search for	Google results
bakery	24,500,000
diabetic bakery	84,000
diabeticbakery	1,500,00
“diabetic bakery”	1,360
diabetic-bakery biscuits	1,110
diabetic bakery biscuits cheesecake toffee	708

The chances of your brand new website featuring anywhere in the list for the keyword “bakery” are infinitesimally small – that means you have NO CHANCE of your site featuring anywhere near the top in a search.

OK, great. So how do you get your site to show on Google?

Firstly, don’t try to compete with a keyword “bakery” – as one in 24.5 million, you don’t stand a chance.
Think “phrases” instead of “words“. Look at the table above; as you add more words to the search, you get less results. If your page(s) contain the words “diabetic bakery biscuits cheesecake toffee” in a sentence like this for example:”Our diabetic bakery specializes in biscuits, cheesecake, toffee and breads”
Use similar wording in your TITLE as well as DESCRIPTION tags
Remember, a search engine cannot read pictures on your site. Even if they are very descriptive. Your text must say it all. Search engines index text.
Your page rank is critical. The site that ranks #1 on Google for “bakery” has a very high page rank and that’s why it is #1. Page rank is a VAST subject and it is not possible to cover it in any detail in a few paragraphs. If you want to know more about Page Rank, here are some handy links:

Page Rank Explained – a page by Google that will help you better understand how page rank works	Page Rank Explained #1 Page Rank Explained #2
Page Rank explained with examples – a bit technical but well worth getting your head around if you can.	Page Rank

So how much page rank is good and how much is bad?

Basically, the higher your page rank is, the more the search engines will favor the text on your site when people search them for those words. (It’s actually a lot more than just that but for the purposes of this example, it’s close enough). Obviously, you should have as high a page rank on your site as possible with 10 being the highest you get. Generally, anything above a 3 or a 4 is considered good. A page rank above 6 is very good and 7 or 8 is exceptional.

It is important to understand that page rank is NOT linear but logarithmic. (Actually only Google knows the real formula as it is a closely guarded secret). It works something like this:

Page Rank	Actual ranking
0 Unranked	No one has ever heard of you. All sites begin here
1	very low
2	very low
3	low in top 100,000,000
4	moderate in top 10,000,000
5	In the top 1,000,000
6	In the top 100,000
7	In the top 10,000
8	In the top 1,000
9	In the top 100
10	One of the top 10 sites period!

From the above, you can see that there is a vast difference between page rank 3 and 4 or between 4 and 5. As your site moves up in rank, so the competition becomes more fierce. For example, if you have a page rank of 6 you may be one of the top 100,000 sites. To get to a rank of 7, you need to be one of the top 10,000 sites. To have a page rank of 8 would mean you are one of the top 1,000 sites (in the whole world remember) – a huge difference.

AUTOMATED SUBMISSION SOFTWARE AND “WE SUBMIT TO 1,000,000 SEARCH ENGINES FOR $25? COMPANIES

Personally speaking, these are a bust and don’t work. Don’t waste you money.There is a simple reason why these “automated” and paid options don’t work – Category Targeting.Put very simply, Category Targeting is all about submitting your site to the right categories in the rightsearch engines and directories.For example, say you have a site on Corvettes. At one search engine, they may only have a category for Cars. However, at another one, there may be a sub-category from cars called Sports Cars. Only you would know to submit your site to the Sports Cars category — automated software or someone else would simply bang it into cars and sports car enthusiasts would never see you link let alone click on it!Another example would be the description you give your site in one place may be entirely different to the one you choose in another.

For example, on a Teen Centered link engine you may use words like funky, neato, boss, ppl, cu, l8r, 4u, and so on to describe your site because it’s part of the language teens use. On an O-So-Serious search engine catering mostly for retired folk you would not dare use these words because no one would understand you! Automated software simply cannot do this!

There is absolutely no benefit if your site is in 1,000,000 search engines but no one clicks anyway. It must say the right stuff and it must be in the right category. As the person who creates the site only you have the knowledge to do this right. Don’t waste your money on automated software submission software. It doesn’t work.

BUY TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE

There are thousands of sites out there that will sell you hits to your website. The big ones you may know are Google, and Overture etc. However, these are mostly overpriced as they work on a bidding system where you bid against others on keywords. For example, if you type “Christian Web Hosting” on Googleyou get all those links on the right and the top. These are paid advertising links. Every time you click a link, the advertiser pays … up to $50.00 for a click! I don’t know about you but I certainly won’t pay that kind of money for a click. The more “valuable” the word or phrase, the more you have to bid in order to get your site near the top. Crazy huh?Then you get the smaller advertisers. These are usually small companies or individuals that run some kind of paid advertising scheme. In my opinion, this is where you will get the best value for money. But beware, some are good and some are outright crooks! Be very careful!Examples of this kind of advertising include those who sell you paid niche market indices, pop-under ads, pop-up ads, pay per click ads, banner adds and redirected traffic. From experience, we have found only some of them are worth it. The rest are dodgy investments at best.niche market indicesThere are several Christian sites — big and small — offering this kind of advertising for a price. Shop around to find the best one for you. They come in two flavors:

Pay per click
Pay per month/year etc. (Recommended if the site has qualified traffic and enough hits).
Pay per veiws

Pay per month is obviously much easier to budget for as your cost is fixed but it will depend on how much traffic a site gets. You may find the one better than the other. It’s very much a trial and error thing and you have to try it for a month with a given advertiser to see which works best. We offer this type of [button/banner] advertising on some of our high traffic sites here.

This kind of advertising, is often the best since you will be drawing your visitors from a source that is related to your site. For example, advertising your yacht business from a banner on a large yachting message board will guarantee your visitors are mostly yacht enthusiasts. (It’s unlikely you will sell any yachts on a skate boarding site)

pop-under and pop-up advertising

Don’t! As simple as that. Don’t do it. Most Browsers these days block Pop-Ups so it has become a pretty useless form of advertising.

redirected traffic

A relatively new development is redirected traffic reselling. How it works is that people buy up old domain names — sometimes by the thousands. These are all kinds of domains. For example, companies that went bust, old websites that were abandon by the original owners etc etc. These domains still get traffic simply because they are listed in the search engines and they come up from time to time when people search for certain words.

You go to a company or individual who bought a whole bunch of these domains and they set them up to redirect the traffic that would have gone to the old domain to your site instead. In principle this is a great idea but in practice it’s a failure. Don’t buy this kind of traffic.

Why not? You ask. Simple – you have no idea what kind of traffic is being sent you you. Let’s say you have a site which sells second hand antique furniture. What value would traffic intended for a manufacturing company specializing in the manufacture of rocket fuel have for you? No matter how many rocket fuel visitors you get, it is highly unlikely any would be interested in your furniture. Traffic must be targeted if it is to be of value.

“Social Networking” sites

I put this in quotes because this would include everything from YouTube to Twitter to the mega blogging sites and everything in between. All good and all will generate some hits, just be careful not to overdo it: getting yourself banned on YouTube or your blog about your website on BlogSpot is so obviously an ad doesn’t help. People want information, not more ads; we all get them up to our eyeballs on radio and TV every day. Be informative, give information but don’t advertise.

General Warning: Regardless of which type of traffic you buy or use, be very careful of who you get it from. There are several companies and individuals out there who will send you thousands of unique IP address hits to your site (which you can verify in your logs), but no one will ever see your page/s! There are several techniques for doing this and you could easily be caught. (Some of the techniques involve things like opening your whole page in a 1 * 1 pixel window for example. You get the unique hit but no one saw your page … not unless they had x-ray vision like superman!)

What works best?

It depends on several factors — your site, the sellers site and many more. Fixed text link and fixed banner advertising are always the best. Why do I say that? Two reasons:

Because you are not only getting the traffic from the sellers site but you are also getting a fixed link from the sellers site. This cannot be over emphasized. This will boost your ranking in all the major search engines and will do so for as long as your link/banner is on the sellers site. If the seller’s site is highly ranked in the search engines, your site will benefit greatly! Read what Google has to say about this here.
Conversely, when the link to your site is in JavaScript (most do it this way), you may get the clicks but you benefit nothing from the page rank of the site referring to your site. (And I would argue that this back-link, as it is called, is more important)
Provided you have some means of knowing how much traffic the page gets your banner/link is on it is also the safest form of advertising — you can go to the sellers site anytime to see your link or banner. With any of the other methods, you have no guarantees at all that anyone even went to your site.

Bottom line: You get what you pay for. If someone is offering you 100,000 hits for $25.00, think carefully before you spend your money because that is a price that is way too low and it might just be a scam. For pop-up/pop-under advertising (which you should never use!) expect to pay around $0.01 to $0.10 per page view and for banner advertising in the same order for monthly advertising and $0.20 and up for click through advertising.

RECIPROCAL LINKS

You put a link on your site to mine and I’ll put one on my site to yours. Sounds fair doesn’t it? Ha! but there’s a catch!What if you are an honest Joe like me and believe the person on the other side is honest and you do your bit by adding the link to the other guys site but … back at the ranch …

S/he never adds the reciprocal link back to you. You’ve been had!
OR
S/he sends you and email saying “here’s the page with your link …” but the page with your link is not linked from anywhere else on this person’s site! You get it? Your link is on the other site but the page it is on can never be found on that site … you’ve been scammed!
OR
S/he waits for 2 weeks then removes your link but you still link to him/her. Scammed again!

Reciprocal links are great and work very well because of the way search engines rank sites. However, they are open to abuse. Use with caution and be sure you grasp what is written above before blindly jumping onto the reciprocal link bandwagon.

HOW OFTEN TO SUBMIT

Once you have submitted your site to a search engine be sure you find out from the FAQ’s listed (sometimes) on that particular Search engines site, as to how it works. For example:

Some search engines will automatically drop your listing after a preset time. Others won’t.
Some search engines will penalize (even permanently ‘ban’ your site) if you re-submit it too often.

Bottom Line – make sure you find out these things about the search engine you are submitting to and then comply with their rules.

WHERE NOT TO SUBMIT TO

Be aware and focused on who your target audience is. If you have a site on the merits of paper recycling you are far more likely to find a receptive audience with the earth lovers than with the trucking union!Be selective of where you submit your site to. For example, don’t submit your Windows MS Access site to a MYSQL forum. All you will get is a lot of rude replies telling you how lame Access is! Often Website owners neglect to take this very important aspect into consideration – you are likely to do more harm than good to yourself and your website by submitting it to inappropriate places.

GRAMMAR/SPELLING

Makwe shutre youk spll corrgrtly!! A page full of obvious typos won’t get you far. With all the spell checkers out there these days, there is no excuse for poor spelling. But spelling is only one part of the problem. The other major part is grammar. Carefully read the two sentences below. Both are identical except for the placement of a single comma; and they have t-o-t-a-l-l-y different meanings:

Here lies my dearly departed Martha. In heaven she is, not in hell, this I know well.
Here lies my dearly departed Martha. In heaven she is not, in hell, this I know well.

While on the subject of spelling and grammar, don’t forget that English is not spelt (or spoken) the same all over the world. There is a vast difference between American English and British English spelling for example. It is not really important which spelling you decide to go with provided you are consistent.

Always keep in mind your intended audience when adding text. For example, the word ‘Ketchup’ is a common word in America but someone in South Africa won’t know what that is because they call it ‘Tomato Sauce’. There are hundreds of words and phrases we take for granted that either mean something completely different to someone from another part of the world or has no meaning at all.

Also, some words or phrases are considered vulgar in some cultures but not in others. Be aware of your audience.

Similarly, keep in mind the intended age of your audience. Very few teenagers would be likely to know what “baby-boomer generation” means.

SENTENCE STRUCTURE

Search engines are mathematical marvels that read the text on your site and combine it (not all of them) with your META TAGS. Some even integrate other HTML tags like the

,

tags. Have you ever wondered how when you search for something the Search engines actually find it?You have a website about boats. You want to say this”Buy our boats because they are the best in the West”Not a bad start. But you won’t get many point in search engine terms for your choice of words. a better way would be to be a little more verbose and use words that people will likely be typing into the search Engines. I don’t know much about boats, but something along the lines of the following would be better (assuming it was true of course)“Shipley boats are delivered by helicopter to your doorstep. Pre-fueled and ready for ocean faring adventure immediately. Manufactured from highest quality Titanium, extracted from mines deep in Siberia. Shipley boats assures you of a consistently high level of cruising comfort all year round.”Do you get the point? Here’s what the search engine “sees”:

“Shipley boats” – your company name, appears several times. Telling the engine it’s important,

You have used words like delivered, helicopter, pre-fueled ocean faring etc. All these words are potential terms someone using a search engine looking for boats may be using. Use them liberally, they will maximize your chances of being found.

DREADED DEAD LINKS

Dead links are mentioned in the introduction. However, they are so important we feel they warrant another mention. Avoid them at all costs! Dead links tell your visitor the following:

You are not really interested in the website [so why should s/he be?]
You don’t know what you are doing [so if you are selling something, why should s/he believe you?]
You never update your site [so he's reading old news]

There are tons of places you can go to check out the links on your site. A free one that we use you can download from here.

THE LOOK AND FEEL OF YOUR SITE

Someone once said: “Don’t reinvent the wheel!”This is just as true for websites. Unless you are sure you have a relatively sophisticated audience DON’T use different colors for links. DON’Tput stuff on pages where people won’t find it.A good rule of thumb: Go to the big Search engines – Google, MSN, Yahoo – and look at how they have laid out their pages. Look especially at the following:

The colors they use for text, hyperlinks etc.
The placement of the navigation links on their pages.

Bottom line – Everyone has been to Google or MSN or AltaVista. If your visitors are likely to be ‘Internet novices’ by all means make your site mimic these sites. This way, you will be sure your visitors will feel ‘at home’ on your site.

SPAM

Whatever you do, DON’T SPAM. Some people think Spamming is only when you send porn or Viagra adverts to someone by email. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Spamming is any unsolicited email. If you don’t have permission to send someone an email and you send an email it is SPAM. Plain and simple.If you get accused of spam, not only will your web-host close you down, you most likely will find it hard to find another hosting company willing to host your site. Don’t spam. It’s not worth it. Click here for more.Even worse, people will report you for spam to the many automated spam databases and that gets onto the search engines. Once that happens, you are pretty much black-listed. Don’t do it.

LOOK FOR CLUES ON OTHER SITES

Use the search engines and visit other websites with similar themes to yours to get ideas of what do do. Often, just navigating someone else’s site will give you a lot of inspiration.NOTE: Do NOT take images from someone else’s site or copy chunks of text to paste into your own. See that little Copyright © thingy at the bottom? That means “Copyright” … not “Copy-rite”. You can get yourself into a whole lot of trouble if you use text and/or images from someone else’s website without permission. Always ask. Most webmasters will be flattered and have no problem if you do.

IMAGES AND FLASH

Call me old fashioned if you want but I loath FLASH. It takes a whole lot of time to load, hogs precious bandwidth and doesn’t add anything to the site. Some people love it but many avoid Flash pages like the plague. If you do use it, some people won’t go past your welcome page. (Obviously there are exceptions to this. For example, if you have a graphics design site, because people have come for the graphics. A Flash intro might ‘sell’ your abilities very well).If you have pictures, don’t have massive pages with zillions of big images. This is a sure turn off for any visitor. Thumbnail the images in something like a table and have hyperlinks to each image on a separate page.Also, Search Engines cannot read flash or Graphical images so even though your Flash may say a whole lot, it says a whole lot of nothing to the Search Engine.NOTE, it’s far more work to have the thumbnail images link link to HTML pages with the large images than to just link to the images directly but there is a payoff if you use the longer method: If you put each image on a separate HTML page, you can add Titles, text and META TAGS to the HTML pages. You can’t to this if you are simply linking to an image file. This gives you more credibility with the search engines and therefore a higher ranking. If you select your META TAGS carefully, you can achieve hugely improved search engine results.

JAVA/JAVASCRIPT & AJAX

Many webmasters love Java scripts. It is true you can do a lot with Java and make some really interesting pages. BUT there are some things you need to be aware of:

Many Internet surfers disable JavaScript in their Browsers. Some intentionally, some because they don’t know. The reasons aren’t very important but the fact is around 22% of all people surfing the Internet have JavaScript disabled for one or other reason.
Different Browsers (Netscape, MSIE, Opera etc) need slightly different Java commands or they give errors. If your pages only work with Microsoft Browsers of a specific version you automatically exclude all the others. This makes for a direct reduction in your traffic to your site.
Search Engines generally do not follow JavaScript Links. If you use them only link to pages that are not important for Search Engine placement.

If you must use JavaScript, make sure you test it on all the Browsers you can lay your hands on to be sure your visitors won’t get error messages which will surely make them click off your site.

BANNERS AND POP-UPS

Been to one of those sites where a zillion pop-ups suddenly jump at you as soon as the site opens? Every time you close one, another 5 appear? They are terrible! Don’t do it on your site. Nowadays all browsers block them by default so they are pretty useless anyway.Very few sites that employ this method of advertising get a lot of traffic simply because popup banners are so annoying.Bottom line – No one like popup advertising. Avoid using them. The couple of $$ you will be paid by the company you advertise just isn’t worth the loss of traffic. Don’t use them.

GET YOUR OWN DOMAIN NAME

Having your own domain name is very important for two reasons:

Many of the search engines will not list sites that are not ‘primary’ e.g. http://example.com
A domain name like http://example.com/thisdirecory/thatdirectory/index.htm hard to remember. If your visitor liked your page and wants to come back but did not bookmark you, s/he probably wont be able to find your site again.

We did an experiment some years ago to prove this. Here’s what we did:

We created two identical 2-page websites.
The one website we put up at geocities (free website). The other we put on it’s own domain.
We submitted both to exactly the same search engines.

The result?

After 6 months, the geocities page had 547 hits and the one that had it’s own domain had 5,200 – almost 10 times more! Having your own domain does make a big difference!

‘CHRISMAS’ TREE SITES

We call them ‘Christmas tree’ sites. You’ve seen them. The ones where the owner has found every possible banner, logo, Webring and award s/he could find and put them allon his/her site. They are absolutely ghastly! Don’t do it! It makes it look like:

You have nothing to say, so you filled your page with every bit of Internet junk you could find,
The site is so unpopular you have resorted to desperate measures to get traffic.

Banner Exchanges, Site Awards and the like all have their place. However, it is the experience of the author that they generally don’t provide what they promise – traffic. Most banner exchanges work on a 2:1 ratio. That is, for every 2 times someone else’s banner is displayed on your page, your banner will be displayed on someone else’s page. Now ask yourself this. When last did you click on a banner on someone else’s website? For most people the answer is either “a year ago” or “never”. Contrary to popular belief, banners Exchanges don’t generally work if you want to build a really prime site.

PUTTING DOWN YOUR COMPETITION

Although comparative advertising is acceptable in many parts of the world it is not necessarily the best way or even a good way to advertise your site. Consider the following a line advert on a web hosting site:”Don’t use xyz hosting because they give poor service and we give great service”Firstly, a comment like this is in poor taste and won’t help getting you new hosting customers. In fact, people are more likely to be put off by your callous remark about your competition. Not only that, “xyz hosting” – who may be 10 times bigger than your company and might just decide to reciprocate the favor by making a similar comment about you! Putting down your competition is never a smart way to get business.There are of course exceptions. For example, if you run a web hosting review site you could say something like this:”Many of our members have reported poor after sales service from xyz hosting”This is an entirely different ball game – as a web review site you are expected to write reviews about other web hosting companies. A negative comment about another company is acceptable because in this context it is regarded as information and not putting down.

admin — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 17:16:04 +0000

Bagi yang mempunyai blog atau website, ada banyak cara untuk menampilkan jumlah pengunjung yang sedang online (user online). Salah satu diantaranya menggunakan tool tambahan gratis (widget) yang disediakan oleh whos.amung.us.

Cara memasang widget user online pun sangat mudah, hanya tinggal copy beberapa baris script yang sesuai dengan jenis widget yang ingin dipasang, yaitu bisa dilihat di http://whos.amung.us/ atau di “showcase“-nya kemudian langsung dipaste di website kita.

Jika ingin dipasang di website yang lain, refresh halaman tersebut supaya kode tracking di scriptnya berubah.

Nah setelah dipasang di beberapa website kita, sekarang tinggal menginstall add-on whos.amung.us Users Online Counter. Add-on ini akan mengambil data jumlah user online dari masing-masing website kita yang sebelumnya sudah kita pasang script seperti diatas dan akan menampilkan di status bar Firefox. Setelah terinstall di firefox, langkah selanjutnya adalah mengkonfigurasi add-on tersebut.

Untuk memulai, masuk ke setup (options) add-on tersebut, kemudian masukkan 8-12 karakter sitekey yang bisa dilihat ketika logo di website kita di klik. Misal http://whos.amung.us/stats/abcd1234, maka key yang harus dimasukkan adalah abcd1234.

Dengan terinstallnya add-on ini kita bisa melihat berapa jumlah orang yang sedang mengunjungi website kita tanpa perlu membuka website atau melihat halaman statistik whos.amung.us. Anda bisa memantau 5 website/blog sekaligus.

Selamat mencoba.

Internet Marketing Secrets Experts Use Finally Revealed

admin — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:21:49 +0000

Internet marketing experts will readily tell you the free ways to make money online –well, almost but not all of these secrets. There are secrets that they choose to keep for themselves. But these secrets are finally revealed to show you how you, too, can make it big from your internet business opportunity.

Increase Your Affiliate Marketing Traffic using SEO

Asking how to increase traffic with search engine optimization is basically the same as asking how to increase traffic. They’re really the same. Of course there are other ways to increase your traffic, such as targeted ad buys, but search engine optimization is core to a successful website. In short, without effective optimization, you cannot expect to compete with other websites in your industry.

How To Make Money Online With Affiliate Marketing

A major way that people are building incredible wealth online today is through affiliate marketing. The concept behind affiliate marketing is simple. You post a link to a merchant on your site. Someone comes to your site and sees the link. They click on the link and land on the merchant’s product or service.

The merchant pays you for getting the customer to them. Although the amount paid for one hit or sale may not be great, when you consider the millions of people who use the Internet every day, it’s easy to see how this process can add up to big bucks fast.

Beginners Guide To Making Money Online Through Affiliate Marketing:

Designing A Website

To get affiliates, you need a website. Where are you going to get a website? You’re going to have to build one.

There are programs and instructional guides that will show you how to design your website, or you can get a professional to help. You’ll also need a web host to give you a place to park your new website. Once you have the design and the host for your website, you’re ready to get started.

Building Out A Website

• Content

Content that makes your site “sticky” (people come there and stay there) is informative, interesting and readable. Pages that simply bludgeon the reader with keywords will be clicked away from fast. Pages with long, cumbersome blocks of text will not inspire visitors to continue reading. You want good information in digestible chunks that will make visitors want to return to your site.

You’re going to need to fill your website with content. Content is the matter on your website that gets people to come to the website and stay there. The way content gets people to your website is through search engine optimization, or SEO. Internet visitors tend to find websites through search engines like Google or Yahoo!

• Keywords

You will need relevant keywords to get your website to show up on one of the first pages of one of these search engines. Keywords are specific words that web searchers put into search engines in order to navigate their searches. If those keywords register with your site, that site is more likely to show up in the search.

• Link Building

Keywords aren’t the only thing that gets a search engine’s interest. Search engines also analyze links. Search engines also measure the relevance of your website based on how many other sites link to your pages. As a newcomer to affiliate marketing, you’ll want to build links primarily through engaging, relevant content. You can also build links by submitting articles containing your link to other websites and by posting to forums and bulletin boards with a link to your site.

Adding The Right Affiliates To Your Website

Once you have a great website that’s starting to generate traffic, you’re going to want to add some affiliate programs. That’s the way this site will generate income for you. Your first step will be choosing which affiliate programs.

Some sites, like mortgage and poker affiliate programs, can offer big money for each client because they are so lucrative. However, you will be competing with many other affiliate sites for their business. Others may pay less but you may be dealing with less competition. You’ll have to decide which affiliate programs will work best for you based on the type of content you will be featuring and the kind of traffic you expect to get.

Enhancing Your Affiliate Marketing Website

You should always be thinking of ways to improve the traffic your site gets. There are online programs that will analyze your site traffic and let you know where your traffic is coming from and why. It will let you know which keywords are getting the most hits so that you can tailor your content accordingly.

Remember, that while you can make a lot of affiliate dollars, there is also a lot of competition out there. Everyone wants traffic coming to their site rather than someone else’s, so you must constantly be looking for ways to make your website stand out from the pack.

Moving Forward With Your Affiliate Marketing Website

Don’t worry if you’re not ready to retire from your affiliate revenue after the first week your site is up and running. Building a profitable website is a long process that requires dedication and effort. It may take a while for web surfers to find your site, and it may take longer for the right visitors to come to your site and stick to it.

If you stay with it and keep adjusting your website until you hit the right formula for success, the money should eventually start rolling. When it does, use what you’ve learned to continue to build your affiliate marketing plan with more and better content, stickier pages and new links. You may even decide to take on some assistance. Once you have the money, hiring professionals to redesign and write quality content for your site can give your profits an instant boost.

Taking The Right Approach To Affiliate Marketing

Thinking of affiliate marketing as a get rich quick scheme is not a winning approach, although some people have quickly become rich. If you handle affiliate marketing seriously, you may reap rewards accordingly. If you recognize affiliate marketing as a business and approach it with the same hard work and dedication as any new business, you have a great chance to build terrific wealth.

10 Online Marketing Trends for 2010

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:38:56 +0000

Where to invest, what to test and which deserve a rest

Allocating your small business marketing budget to maximize return on investment and minimize the risks of a low or negative return can become a lot more unpredictable when your investments involve trends and emerging technologies. Investing in trends requires smart timing and consumer analysis.

You would think that marketing trends would be closely aligned with consumer trends, since effective marketing depends on getting your messages to appear where the highest concentration of qualified eyeballs are focused. That isn’t always the case, however, because trend-focused marketers tend to place an inflated value on revolutionary technology and early adoption.

Thankfully, the majority of consumers permanently relocate their attention with much less frequency than marketing bandwagon drivers. Still, missing a trend or sticking with a has-been spells opportunity lost at best and negative returns or loss of market share at worst.

Since your trend-marketing returns are only as good as your ability to make educated guesses, here’s some advice to help you avoid turning educated guesses into marketing messes. The following list features the top 10 internet marketing trends for 2010, in no particular order, and tells you whether to invest, test or let it rest.

Trend #1: Search Engine Optimization
Advice: Test
Sites with relevant content and credible links will continue to rule the search rankings in the coming year, but 2010 has the potential to reveal a few new standards. As the volume of web content continues to grow, consumers will demand even more relevant and personalized search results. That means search engines will be looking for more relevant and personalized content from publishers and brands. In fact, the search engine algorithms are already beginning to pay more attention to date of publication, geo-location, mobile device browsers, past behavior and social media content.

Don’t abandon your current SEO strategy in search of personalization, but make sure you allocate a portion of your budget to testing content, keywords and links that are targeted toward niche audiences. Test keyword and link placement in social media, local content and mobile websites, and make an effort to more frequently refresh some of the content you devote to search engine rankings. Once the search engines have tested these new search targets and revealed some concrete standards, you should be prepared to invest accordingly.

Trend #2: Paid Search
Advice: Invest
Paid search hasn’t seen a revolutionary trend since the idea of thelong tailwas applied to keyword bidding. That’s OK, because consumers will still use search engines in 2010 as a primary means of finding products and services to fulfill their needs, and they will still be clicking on relevant ads. Search advertising prices will remain reasonable, and average returns will remain comparably high as larger companies with decreased search marketing budgets continue to allocate resources to lower-cost SEO tactics in hopes of attracting visitors at lower prices. 2010 has the potential for even more downward pressure on price-per-click if Bing can gain enough loyal searchers to attract business away from Google.

You won’t exactly feel like you’re in the driver’s seat when your search marketing placement choices are limited to Google, Microsoft or both, but that doesn’t mean you should shy away from investing in the highly qualified leads that paid search is capable of producing for your small business.

Trend #3: E-mail Marketing
Advice: Invest
It isn’t hard to justify an investment in e-mail marketing when the cost of sending e-mails is so low. The low cost isn’t the only reason to send e-mail, however. Most consumers still consider e-mail to be their primary form of communication, even though there are several alternative ways for consumers to subscribe to periodic content from small businesses.

E-mail marketing will remain highly predictable in 2010 and may even become more powerful as e-mail service providers improve social media integration, search engine access to archived e-mails, auto-responders and new integrated applications. If you don’t already use an e-mail service provider, invest in one in 2010. If you already use an e-mail service, invest in your e-mail list and in producing valuable content to nurture leads and attract repeat customers.

The cost of building a permission-based list is likely to stay the same in 2010 as it was in 2009, but more than one-third of consumers changed at least one of their e-mail addresses in 2009–due to job changes or other economic factors. Spend more time and money in 2010 focused on keeping your e-mail list current when those consumers return to work and change e-mail addresses again.

Trend #4: Social Network Marketing
Advice: Test
Social media has one redeeming quality for marketers–lots and lots of eyeballs. That’s attractive if you’re a major brand, but profitable interaction will continue to be the exception for small businesses in 2010 rather than the rule. A good test of your social network marketing potential is to survey your current customers to see how many of them consider social networking to be a primary form of communication. You should probably experiment with a Facebook fan page and a Twitter page if you find that a meaningful percentage of your current customers indicate an interest in following your business.

Make 2010 your year to test content that attracts repeat and referral business. Your current customers are more likely than total strangers to respond to offers posted on social networks because they already know you and trust you based on their prior purchases.

Trend #5: Blogging
Advice: Let it rest
If you’re writing a blog to help with search engine rankings or to inform existing customers, you should continue to test or invest. If you’re blogging in an attempt to attract new prospects and convert them to customers, however, 2010 will be a year that exposes the blogosphere’s vulnerability to the law of averages. Converting prospects into customers depends on driving visitors to content that maximizes conversions, and that means your conversion rate is only as good as the content on your landing page. If that landing page is your blog and your blog changes frequently, your conversion rate is only as good as your latest blog post.

Instead of blogging to convert your website visitors into customers in 2010, work hard to test and develop great landing page content. When you find something that works, don’t change it.

Trend #6: Web Presence
Advice: Invest
If you want people to see the content on your website, it might make sense to advertise the location of your website content by placing ads on other high-traffic websites. Driving visitor traffic to your website isn’t the way to go for 2010, however. Instead, you need to spend 2010 driving your website content to the visitor traffic.

The difference stems from the fact that content aggregation websites like YouTube are boosting consumer demand for instant gratification and what I like to call “content nesting.” Content nesting allows consumers to browse through content fed to them through a single web page, or nest, so that they don’t have to click on links to individual websites all over the World Wide Web, which takes more time–not to mention that the results can be anywhere from unpredictable to shockingly irrelevant.

To take advantage of content nesting in 2010, your website content needs to be nested in as many content aggregation sites as possible. For example, a lot of people search for videos on YouTube. If you have a video on your website and it’s not also on YouTube, people on YouTube won’t bother searching for your website. To them, YouTube represents the total number of videos available to them on their topic of interest.

Trend #7: Mobile Marketing
Advice: Test
In case you haven’t heard, mobile marketing is all about marketing to people through their mobile phones and smart-phone devices. Small businesses haven’t had much of an opportunity to engage consumers on mobile devices, but 2010 has the potential to change that.

Demand is increasing dramatically for mobile applications and mobile web-browsing due to wider adoption of devices like the iPhone and the Google Android phone. As more people adopt these phones and features in 2010, look for small-business marketing services to start providing lower-cost mobile marketing solutions like text messaging, mobile e-mail marketing, mobile websites, mobile application development and location-based marketing.

Make 2010 your year to collect mobile preferences from your prospects and customers, and use tools likeGoogle Analyticsto see how many people are visiting your website on mobile web browsers. If you find interest in mobile interaction among your customers, begin testing simple mobile marketing campaigns such as sending a few mobile coupons via text or building a mobile micro-site for one of your products.

Trend #8: Podcasting and Online Radio
Advice: Let it rest
Online radio is actually on a bit of a growth trend, but that’s just because so-called terrestrial radio is suffering so much that radio advertisers are switching their investments to digital formats. 2010 will be a year of exploration for online broadcasters as they struggle to find and attract loyal audiences. iTunes has long been the leader in podcasting, but there are still no clear leaders in internet radio.
Even if leaders emerge in 2010, internet broadcasters will need to make their media more sharable, more engaging, more trackable and more mobile to attract money from advertisers. If you’re looking to attract an audience by broadcasting or advertising on broadcast media, go with online video in 2010 and wait for radio to finish reinventing itself.

Trend #9: Online Video
Advice: Invest
If a picture paints a thousand words, how many words does a 30-second online video paint? Countless buying emotions and memorable brand moments are possible with video. Until recently, spreading your message with video was limited to the television screen. In 2010, watch for video to become more accessible to small businesses through online outlets. Online video is interactive, memorable, widely accessible, cheap to create and highly shareable. There’s also a lot of investment happening around video, which is sure to create even more low-cost opportunities for small businesses to participate in video promotions in 2010.

Video presents a great opportunity for small-business marketing, but don’t think of video as a replacement for text. As powerful as video can be, it can be more cumbersome than text because you can’t scan a video as quickly as you can scan a page of headlines, links and text to quickly find the exact information you need. Use your investments to find the right balance for your customers.

Trend #10: Coupons, Discounts and Savings
Advice: Test
OK, this one isn’t entirely an internet marketing trend, but it’s important enough to mention because of the economy. 2009 was another tough year for retailers, and consumers are so accustomed to shopping for deals that they might begin to expect the plethora of deep discounts currently available to continue forever. If you’re engaged in heavy discounting to attract sales and survive the economic downturn, you’ll need to spend 2010 slowly weaning your customers off your lower prices, assuming that the economy recovers. Resetting expectations won’t be easy, so try swapping discounts for special privileges like loyalty discounts, free upgrades and other offers that won’t lock you in to price comparisons.

Internet marketing trends develop quickly, so expect many new and exciting trends to emerge in 2010. Don’t be too quick to jump on new bandwagons because consumers move more slowly than marketers and technology. Stay focused on attracting repeat business, deepening your customer relationships and solving problems for people. Those are the trends that never fail small businesses.

Get Free Bakclinks From .edu website

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 17:13:33 +0000

By Joe Whyte

One of the most interesting link development techniques unveiled itself to me today. Many link developers and SEOs might be a little upset at me that such a great technique is not being used privately for my own gain but in my mind I fell I should share this with the SEO community as I really doubt anyone else knows about this.

If you didn’t know, .edu backlinks are pretty darn coveted due to the high trust rank they have within Google. Most edu sites have quality inbound links, have been online for years and years and are a credible source of information to the search engines and to the community. At SEOmoz rand has a page strength tool that measures .edu links as well and assigns a particular value to how many you have coming into your site. It is safe to say that a .edu is a power link and can do a lot for your site within the search engines.

This is why services like text link brokers actually sell text link ads on .edus and you might have heard of .edu link campaigns where link developers acquire links on .edu’s by way of a presales page or purchasing a student page and placing a link on it. These methods are old, out dated, time consuming and unrealiable as a site can be reported for selling links or a student can remove your link at anytime.

Are you ready for the secret?…. Not yet!! Let me show you some interesting information. I want to show you the the power behind a .edu link. The following image is of a Google search of a drug called cialis. These internet marketers have used a .edu link to rank on the top page of Google for a very competitive drug. Although this type of technique is not one that I suggest (its a bit spammy) this example does show the shear power behind a .edu link.

Now that you know the power behind obtaining a .edu link and how coveted these links are I am going to show you somethign that took me about 5 minutes to do. I recently did a post on Joe Whyte that was asking for bloggers for a new project. I was doing some thinking and I started thinking about job postings like corporations do on monster and simplyhired etc. Then it came to me, what if I posted a job application for college students on there .edu? What would happen, is it possible and would it be SEO friendly? Well, to my suprise, it is!! Below is an image of a .edu that allowed me to post my blogging position I currently have available on their job system

3 big mistakes when building free back links

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:29:18 +0000

Free back links is probably one of the easiest ways to significantly improve your Google Page Rank without spending any money. By investing some of your time, you can literally get backlinks from thousands of websites – many of them authority sites that can pass their value down to your page rank.

Backlinks makes you money. Top SEO experts know this because higher rankings means more traffic and more traffic means more money. This is why they often blow a small fortune on buying back links. There’s no doubt that buying a couple of high page rank back links can significantly boost your rankings. However, the “small guy” has one advantage and that is the ability to get out there and build thousands of free backlinks.

Because building free backlinks is so time consuming many SEO companies can’t afford to invest time in it. Just because it is free, you should never underestimate just how effective it can be. If you consistently build free back links, you can get your site up to a PR5 easily.

Getting free backlinks is so time consuming you have to do it right to maximize the linkjuice you get from each and every link. Spending hours building links that carry a low value is just a waste of time.

Link building Mistake #1

Reciprocal links used to be the link building strategy of choice a couple of years ago. Basically it’s an exchange of links between 2 sites. You link to me and I link to you. We both benefit, right? Well, not anymore. Reciprocal links are fast becoming absolute as Google is catching on to this practice. With link farms springing up all over the net, getting thousands of reciprocal links became too easy. One way links carries a lot more value and although reciprocal links are an easy way to get free links, it is time intensive and probably not even worth it anymore.

Link building Mistake #2

Google’s page rank algorithm is getting smarter and smarter. One of the big changes in the way page rank is calculated is Google’s ability to determine relevancy. This is where anchor text comes in. Anchor text is the highlighted hypertext that contains the actual link. What this allows Google to see is what the link is for. It helps them determine how relevant the link is based on the keywords and the site it’s linking to and from. When building free links you should always try and use anchor text in your back links. It will give you some additional link juice.

Link building Mistake #3

These days a lot of forums and blogs have a tag called the “nofollow tag” which basically tells the search engine spiders not to follow links in the site. If you get a backlink from a site with a nofollow tag it won’t be picked up by the search engines and it won’t count as a link. Although there’s a lot of debate on whether these actually count as links it is probably not worth your time and effort to build links from nofollow sites. Get yourself the SEO Addon for Firefox which will automatically highlight nofollow links.

Building free back links is all about getting as much link juice as possible for every link you build. It can take a lot of time to build free backlinks and maximizing the effects of each link goes without saying. By just avoiding these 3 mistakes you can exponentially increase the effectiveness of your links. Regardless of what you do, you have to keep building links. Links will get you ranked and links will make you more money.
