The Effort You Need To Put In For Online Business

By Brent Sweet

We could all use some extra traffic, but perhaps you've fallen behind as of late. One of the main reasons people don't get the traffic they desire is simply due to a lack of effort. We have to do everything we can as marketers to get all the traffic that is possible. The more traffic you receive to a website the more possible it is that you will make that money, which is why you designed the website in the first place. I am writing today to share ways to promote your site so that you can draw that little extra bit of traffic.

The manner by which you promote your website is directly proportional to the traffic you draw in. Article marketing is a great example of this. However, if you fail to post new articles regularly you might fail to see an increase in the volume of visitors to your website.

As far as site promotion is concerned, fresh web content is a key element to retaining web traffic. A constantly updated website will not only draw new traffic, but maintain old visitors as well.

Social media sites offer another avenue of approach to site promotion. A little effort in this area can draw in a lot of potential visitors and customers to your website. However, regular use of these social media services must be maintained in order for you to interact with your client base.

You cannot expect to achieve something for nothing. The time and effort you put into the promotion of your website on a regular basis is directly linked to the volume of visitors your website will attract. The more visitors you draw, the better the future potential of your company. Regular visitors bring with them the potential for your business's future. Your business depends on the amount of traffic that you can draw to your website. It does not matter how busy your website is you have to draw traffic to it so that the people will actually buy.

Just Wasted A Ton Of Money On A So Called Niche ?

By Trevor Weir

The term Niche marketing is bandied about by online marketers like it's the cure for all ills. You can't turn around in one of those heavily trafficked internet seminars where thousands meet to "find the cure" without running into half a dozen splinter groups discussing the merits/demerits ( but mostly merits ) of tightly focused Niche marketing.

And for the rest of us - What is Niche Marketing ? And why is it so popular?

So how would we define it ? * It's the current fad, but its not ( This one has really long legs ) * It's not going to be a good Xmas present - so don't look for it * It's not going to make anything bigger longer or ... ( u get the msg ) * It's not likely to be a new job opening anywhere soon

Niche Marketing - An example

Here is my own quick definition : Niche Marketing is an examination or sales analysis of a very narrow marketing segment that is being under-served by the competition. Let's see what this looks like.

Marketing to those that buy - runners. Niche or not? Not - Nike runners. Niche or not. Not (What did that surprise you?) - Nike marathon capable running shoes. Niche or not? Feeling the sun yet ? - cpu enhanced marathon capable Nike runners. Niche or no Niche? Jackpot !

So, the warmth of the sun is shining on our face, its going to be a great day. We can now see the light, yaddy yaddy, yaw. So where do we go from here? We have accurately identified a niche right? And isn't that what everyone is talking about? Do we stock up now or wait for Christmas?

If you want to lose your shirt go ahead! That was a joke, don't do it. Please don't think that I slipped and just told you about my huge money maker and have now decided to take it back. Further from the truth we could not be. We have an unproven premise here.

The little questionnaire is not the process used to find a niche market product or service. You really need a tool for that. It can be done manually but searching hundreds of ideas manually isn't anyone's idea of fun. That was merely an example of what a niche market might look like, but for any number of reasons, I would never enter that marketplace - and I don't much care if 4 of my marathon running friends ask me for those specific shoes next week.

So, did I just give you a really bad Niche Market example?

So, that was a poor example right? Honestly, we dont know yet. People search using specific key phrases. A lot of people end up using the exact same key phrases. To determine whether this product is a niche product or not we need to plum information that only search engines or search engine tools similar to keywordwatcher normally possess. To further quantify all of that data really quickly, we would then need to go beyond even the search engine tools, to a new kind of product that combines the functionality of a search engine tool with niche marketing information

Competitive websites and the number of potential clients would have been enough data to help in quantifying this as a niche product -- in the past. But not now. The competition has gone considerably further than that in their analysis and so must you - even as a newbie.

You may be someone with experience with keyword usage based on several of the great tools out there like KeyWordwatcher or the excellent google adwords tool that gives you exact number of potential clients for broad, phrase and exact searches. Perhaps even you were like me, thinking that I could use those excellent tools to find Niche Market products. Well, you probably can if you have an enormous amount of time, but a total newbie using specific niche software would blow us all out of the water due to the specificity of those tools now.

A specialty software tool will use those numbers and up to two dozen or more variables, including rating scores on competition based not only on whether the key words show up in the sites ( which is not necessarily competitive ) but also whether the keywords are in the url, the domain or titles. The same tool might also check for commercial or non-commercial articles for article publishing as well as opening clickbank for affiliate products and opening up other affiliate product searches to verify that there are related affiliate products. And this might be 1/10th of what a commercial niche tool based product might do for you.

Finding Niche Products is now so easy, even a newbie can do it. It does not require the in-depth type of intelligence that former adwords professionals used to use. Follow the links back to the videos. In 2 minutes you will be convinced.

Something new in niche keyword research. There is something called commercial intent. Microsoft has an online program that enables one to see if a searched for phrase has stronger commercial intent than research behind it.

The PR Of It All - Building Page Rank

By Tom P Kearns

Your site's importance and authority is determined by intricate and complicated algorithms which are the basis of ' Page Rank'. This is crucial because building PR increases your chances for being scored by a search engine such as Google by using your keywords. Having higher ranking pages also, aids you by making the availability of you and your website to a huge community of people needed your advice, products or service. Keep in mind the danger of not making the right move when building page rank.

A Page Rank (PR) thing

Home to millions of citizens the internet is a place to be noticed, if you are unique. Being unique is inevitable if you want your website or business to grow and prosper. The defining difference when building page rank is the amount of quality of incoming links to your site, quantity should be less of a factor.

Let's take a moment and understand why I stress quality over quantity. Just like anything else in the world if you gather too much of nothing it will not end up being something; it will always stay nothing. On the contrary, if you collect valuable and meaningful "things" that have substance to your inside as well as your outside world only then will you have gathered up "something." Same metaphor works for building page rank. If higher page rank is what you seek, than shooting for quality links to your site is the way to go; not being greedy and popping out link after link from unrelated pages. Search engines like Google spot this quickly and penalize websites who crack open too many unrelated links too fast to their site.

When building back links it is important to link to and from websites that also have high PR; for this can increase the rank of your pages. Although Google tries to give us the latest up to date ranks they have, this does not mean that one site is less valuable than another. Or better yet the quality is lower. It takes time to build page rank and if the sites confer to yours then by all means link up.

Building page rank is also determined by quality internal linking; however the most influential factor is external linking. This part leaves you with the least control due to the fact that you are not able to force other websites to link yours, especially if they already have a high PR. When it comes to external linking you must learn the correct way to link and most importantly find and request websites that have relevance to your website; seeing if they will link your site onto theirs. It is all about getting the PR of it, and if it seems too complicated, you can always hire someone to do it for you!

Blogging SEO For Real Estate Professionals

By Silace Zyllion

If you are blogging to draw real estate leads, which many of us are, you know the importance of having your content found on the net. In attempting spread the word out about the Real Estate Lead Generation Software provided through RedX and have learned a enormous amount concerning search engine optimization in the procedure. What I have learned is that if you want to profitably take leads to your blog, the authentic post is only the first step. The steps following your post will truly determine your level of achievement in attracting traffic and ensuing real estate leads to your blog.

SEO Steps To Draw Real Estate Leads

Let's face it. Any time you spend building a blog is an investment in marketing. With this in mind, your return on investment is based upon how many people actually see your blog Fundamentally, the best way to get your blog read is if it shows up on a search engine. Thus, getting a high ranking for a given search term is essential. So what are the steps vital to search engine optimize your blog post?

If you choose a keyword before you commence writing, you will have a lot more success in getting your blog read. If you have a topic in mind, spend a few minutes on google to notice how viable the saying you are focusing on will be. To see the level of rivalry, look next to the search box for the search results data. As an illustration, the competitive data for the term "interest real estate leads is "Results 1 - 10 of on 4,230,000 for interest real estate leads. (0.55 seconds)" Because this article is competing with over four million other entries, it is unlikely to rank high on the search expression "appeal to real estate leads." For that reason, optimizing it for that term may be comparatively futile and I should probably optimize this article to a less competitive phrase such as "listing leads for Realtors", or even "GRAR" which only has one million competitors.

After you have chosen your search phrase, draft your article using the target expression in the text. Include the expression as part of your header tags as well as your subhead Back to our illustration, the phrase Draw Real Estate Leads is in the tag of this post.

Now You Can Begin SEO

This is the approach that I am now using to promote the RedX markdown page.

* Ping your post using a pinging instrument to multiple websites. Pingler.com is a good tool for this

* Use an article rewriting instrument to create multiple unique versions of your article. Unique versions are required so that all syndicated site that posts your article is counted as a single back link to your real estate blog. I now use Magic Article Rewriter as my tool of choice.

* Tender your unique article to as many article directories as possible. I use two tools concurrently for this. The first is UniqueArticleWizard, the second is Magic Article Submitter. Both tools allow you to syndicate your article across the web over time which steadily increases your links and your search engine rank. Their actual sales pages are pretty cheesy, but the tools work great.

* Bookmark the post to StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicous, and the rest of the bookmarking sites. If you are using a Wordpress, Orlywire has an attractive tool that allows you to automatically bookmark your post to your accounts.

* If you haven't submitted your RSS feed to the various feed readers, then now is the time to do so.

* Update the post on your facebook, MySpace, ActiveRain and Broker Agent Social pages.

All of the above sounds like a lot of work, and it does take with reference to an hour to complete all of the steps. However, where you may appeal to one or two real estate leads from the post alone, you can now expects a few hundred more people to find you from your search engine optimization activities.

AdWords Pay Per Click Advertising - What are Google AdWords Pay Per Click Advertising Campaigns

. Thursday, October 29, 2009
0 comments

By Greg Cesar

Google's AdWords pay per click advertising is the search engine's main source of revenue, which reportedly generated over $16 billion during 2007 and put the search engine in front of its competitors in terms of profitability and popularity.

The Google AdWords pay per click advertising method caught on with online business owners and now, it's an acceptable advertising model if you want your business to succeed online. However, those who cannot understand this advertising model may be wasting their time and money making this method work for them because they don't truly understand its concepts.

Fact: In order to appreciate Google AdWords pay per click advertising, you have to know how this concept came about.

Bill Gross first developed the idea of AdWords pay per click advertising. He got this idea from the concept of the Yellow pages which divides businesses into certain categories or keywords. People who need certain products and services only have to look for these keywords and a list of businesses are presented to them. This concept generated more consumers and when applied online, ushered in a new era of advertising.

Google wanted to purchase Gross concept but the two parties cannot agree. In 2000, despite its inability to negotiate with Gross, Google started the AdWords pay per click advertising. A court dispute ensued and the courts awarded Google the full rights to the AdWords pay per click advertising concept.

Initially, Google AdWords pay per click advertising was set up and managed by Google who asked business owners to pay a set monthly fee. Today, Google AdWords pay per click advertising is run and managed by business owners themselves from a self-serve portal.

Business owners find that it's more cost effective to hire specialists in the AdWords pay per click advertising method. They've realized that these online marketing specialists who have studied this method for some time knows what works or does not work in online advertising.

List Building - It's All About You Not Your Product! Find Out Why!

By Jonathan Pitts

90% of people fail in this Indsutry, I will tell you why this is and how you can be part of the 10% that succeed by building a list that you can sell to.

The main reason so many people fail is because the pursue people like crazy. They are new to the Internet Marketing Industry and are desperate to make their first sale they put off people form buying their product with their in your face sell tactics that come across as spamming!

By only going on about your product and how good it is you will come across as a desperate salesman. This makes you look unprofessional and it will put people off from wanting to hear any more from you. You build a list by giving people a reason to hear more from yourself; this is not done by shouting about how good your product is.

So you're probably thinking to yourself now how do you go from broke and desperate to someone that has prospects calling them up, making the list building process a piece of pie...well here you go:

First of all forget the idea of chasing people or targeting people because you need their money; even if you are broke do not let it show!

This is done by branding yourself as a leader within your market by giving valuable information relating to your market, this comes in the form of articles, blog posts, videos etc. You do not have to of been involved with your market for years to have valuable knowledge that can help somebody who has no experience.

Therefore you can gain status and become a leader by teaching people about your market. Think about it, if a guy has done a video about a niche in internet marketing what would you think of that person? You will look up to him because he's done a video on internet marketing so he must be a pro, you will want to hear more from this guy as he know his stuff and can help you out.

By branding yourself rather than your product people will want to hear more from you and will be willing to provide you their details (email address etc) in order to find out more about yourself. This is exactly how list building works. It might seem easy as pie and it is, however so many Internet Marketers do not do this, instead they use sell,sell,sell tactics that do not attract anyone!

People will want to hear more from you because it's human nature for everyone who isn't a leader (prospects) to want to join someone who is (you) as you can provide them with help, support and advice that they need. The reason I have such knowledge in Internet Marketing is because my mentor was a successful Internet Marketer that shared his knowledge with me.

Give valuable information, deliver it with confidence, give yourself value and people will look up to you. They will become part of your list and this is how it's done! This is what so many supposed mentors never teach, now you know it go out and become a leader!

Making Money With Article Marketing Becoming An Affiliate

. Wednesday, October 28, 2009
0 comments

By Ron Cripps

If you have the necessary knowledge to use promotional tools and marketing methods to publicize written material or if you have the skill to write quality articles yourself you could make nice income from home. You make money by individuals clicking through via links that businesses furnish to you and you place on your site.

Being that you are going to be advertising a service or a product you are going to require a sales pitch that grabs people and a Internet site content that will get the reader's attention. The readers will need to be convinced that they need what it is you have to provide.

However many affiliate companies only give you money off of the initial sale you make from each client, you have the choice of advertising a good range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning clients.

If you are unable to write this kind of content of your own, there are many methods to pick up free or paid written content to place on your affiliate site. There are a great many reasons why paying for such articles would be to your benefit.

First, you will be able to tell the author exactly what you want, what product you are endeavoring to sell, and what direction they can go in to sustain your readers interest and informed. If you choose free material, you will be sharing that written content with an unknown amount of other affiliate websites.

The second benefit of hiring a writer is that when you pay them for the written content it then becomes your property and they are unable to sell it to someone else, but you can. When you make use of free content you will be employing the same information that many other affiliates are utilizing, which doesn't help you. To boot, the author of the article gets to keep their byline in the free content, which can't only take away from your visitors but stop you from being seeing as an expert.

Many companies offer nice recompense for affiliates that can pre-sell merchandise and deliver them more clients. The pre-sale will be very easy if you pick a product that is reusable and wanted by many individuals.

The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your site so that they have an opportunity to see your suggestions and click on your affiliate links.

YouTube Marketing How-To

By Marcus Richard

It is estimated that in the year 2017 there will be 1.3 billion gigabytes of videos watched by mobile users, per month. Online video is a great way to market your product and brand. YouTube Marketing is a great first step for an online video marketing campaign, so here are some quick tips.

YouTube quick stats include over 110 million unique visitors a month and each of them watches 65 videos on average per month. Your videos should be in those numbers and they can be. Getting started is as easy as creating your account, starting your channel and setting up how you want it to look. From there it's all about making those videos you upload easily found in searches.

We have a good idea of how YouTube does ranking of its videos and that algorithm places a heavy emphasis on the following things ? Title, Description, Tags, Number of Views and Rating. In order to do well in the last two you must have great options for the first three. First off you need to have content that people are going to want to see, it's suggested that how-to videos are the way to go in the beginning as they will continue to be useful over time. This will be a firm foundation for a successful YouTube Marketing campaign.

You not only need interesting content, you need to optimize for the search engines. Since YouTube processes over 3.5 billion searches a month it's the 2nd largest search in the world. Optimization means having a very good, concise title, highly relevant tags (keywords), and a great description. In regards o the description, it's always good to include a clickable link in the first 27 characters. Why 27? Well that's the length of descriptions prior to ellipsis (the three dots you click to read more). Use a major keyword or tag as the clickable link as well and it will save space and be useful.

Branding via URLs and phone numbers in your video is also a good idea. Also have a call-to-action which will lead people to your site and services in the video. Make sure you get the branding or call-to-action in the thumbnail as well. When you have your videos available, dropping links on popular videos helps, but be careful, don't make them look like spam. If your product or brand ties into other popular videos in some way, make spin-off videos. That will get you listed in related videos and more visibility. You can check out even more YouTube Marketing tips at ReelSEO.com.

It Is Easy To Get Backlinks To Your New Site If You Follow My Methods

By Winson Yeung

When first working on promoting a new website, it is important to set up effective marketing strategies. One of the most successful ways is to get backlinks working for you. This may seem a large job at first, but proven methods exist, and just require correct application and a proactive approach to the task.

However,you should set up a blog that will essentially sell your site for you. Make sure you work on it every day, and post excerpts from the best areas of your site, with backlinks to the relevant page on the site. Be sure not to give too much of the good stuff away, so you generate the click you need.

Another effective technique is to use Link Baiting, but you should be careful not to abuse this and drift into spam. People like to read and comment about controversies or even mildly offensive subjects. If they are shocked or intrigued by a subject you have written, they are more likely to tell their contacts and write about it on their own blogs with backlinks to your original posting.

You can incorporate both the above techniques into contributing to forums. Do not just join the highest amount of forums you can, and spam the members with a link to your site. Quite apart from being unethical, you will just be ignored. Watch how people are interacting on the forum, and make witty and re4levant contributions. Many forums allow you to include a signature, so embed links to your target pages in these. Again, ensure the forums you work on are relevant to your site.

It is unlikely you would be bothering to attract people to a site that you are not proud of, so use this belief to open discussions with other webmasters. Ask them to have a look at your site and comment on it, and offer them a Link Exchange to generate traffic between the two. Be sure to select relevant sites, with subjects in common with yours, and be sure not to pester or send bulk mailings. This will have the reverse effect and see numbers reduce.

It will also be valuable to register with the many free web directories available now, that are attracting more and more visits for people looking for a central database that saves them time.

Advantages of Affiliate Marketing

. Tuesday, October 27, 2009
0 comments

By Angela Jones

Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effectual ways to bring in money promoting online. It is also one of the simplest ways for somebody with a website to make a return online. Affiliate Marketing involves an arrangement between a merchant and a website owner. The website owner, or the affiliate, permits the use of their site for the promotion of the merchant's products by linking to the merchant's website.

In exchange, the merchant pays a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate. Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and then goes on to make a purchase, the affiliate receives a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a client clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.

Affiliate marketing arrangements are described as a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate because of the pay-for-performance system. Both the merchant and the affiliate enjoy some advantages in affiliate marketing. There are many advantages on the merchant's part. It gives the merchant a larger market in which to market a product or service.

Affiliate marketing will give the product or service the utmost exposure that it may not get with other traditional promoting methods. The more affiliate sites a merchant has, the more the number of visitors, which can convert into sales. Affiliate marketing is the equivalent of having an host of sales people who will do the marketing and will only get a fee if a customer buys.

Furthermore, seeing as an affiliate marketing relationship is a win-win situation, the affiliate also enjoys many benefits. Principal among these is the effortless way to achieve a profit. The affiliate can gain by having an advert or link to the merchant's website, which prospective customers will with a bit of luck click and proceed to make a purchase.

As soon as the shopper clicks on the advert on the affiliate's site, the consumer is transferred to the merchant's website and goes on to purchase that specific product, the affiliate earns a fee. The more referrals there are the more income for the affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is an excellent method to earn money while at home. There are almost no construction costs. The product is already developed and established by the merchant, and all you have to do is find as many prospects as you can to bring in sales for both the merchant and the affiliate.

Affiliate arrangements are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs. There are thousands of products and services you can choose from. You can discover affiliate programs for every product on this Earth. Without doubt, there is a product or service out there that is relevant to your website.

In addition, there is absolutely no sales knowledge required. Most affiliate programs offer outstanding support when it comes to supplying promotion matter. The simplicity of affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer for the least expenditure and the most ease.

You can even create a successful affiliate marketing business in the luxury of your own home. In affiliate marketing, your responsibility is merely to find visitors for the merchant; you do not have to worry about stock, order processing, and product shipping. These, along with client service support are the duties of the merchant.

Because of the international reach of the Internet, you can effortlessly locate thousands of visitors. You can step up your advertising operation by exploiting more forceful and dynamic tactics such as viral marketing. By drawing more shoppers, you also increase your capacity to earn.

With your own affiliate business, you can effortlessly earn extra earnings, although you do have to exert some effort and use your imagination to take full advantage of your earning potential.

While a keyword density tool is useful for optimizing your content there is a highly critical optimization parameter that we have overlooked up to this point. Think about what happens to a structure built on a weak foundation.

If you do not have an interesting and informative title then there is a good chance your article will be ineffective and overlooked by many readers. The best types of article are focused, easy to understand and most important helpful to the reader.

It is important to present the most important information up front and as close to the beginning of your article as you can. That way if your reader loses interest they will have at least read the most important part. You should keep your paragraphs and sentences short and use subheadings if appropriate.

PPC - What is Else There?

By Anthony M. Flores

Pay Per Click Advertising on Google Adwords and Google AdSense are a great way of internet marketing. But many people don't know or aren't aware of the other ways that you can advertise on the internet. Some are even less expensive. However you need to know what you are doing or else that money will be wasted, even if it is a small amount.

Most likely, you have already seen PPC Advertising in action on the Internet. Briefly, Pay Per Click Advertising places your advertisements positions ads for your business on popular Search Engines. Google, Yahoo, MSN or others like them will display your advertisements at the top or right side of their pages. Other variables may apply, but the exact positioning of the ads depend on a bidding system where you bid against other businesses for the top slots on a page. This limits your charges to only those times when a potential customer responds to your online ad by clicking on it.

If done correctly, you can target your ad to specific keyword terms and put your ads right in front of people who are actively searching for what you sell! However, if done poorly, it is a way to quickly drain your credit card & cost you valuable money, time and effort. This article isn't about PPC best practices, and we cover that in other articles, but more to show you the additional places to put your money on the internet.

At times it may be possible to place ads on a business site belonging to another person. Purchasing banner space in this way can be more costly. Careful research concerning the web site is crucial to the advancement of your business. The site must already be targeting your desired market, and your target market must be appropriate towards the product you are selling. For instance, banner space on a product designed for gardening probably wont generate sales when located on a site dedicated to monster trucks. Some companies will charge you when someone views your ad, some will charge when a customer emails you. Having a clear idea of what you are being charged for will help you to make the best decisions. You must pay attention to all these factors in developing your advertising strategy.

Focus your time and money on diversifying your internet marketing. This will pay big dividends for you and help you take advantage of the power of the internet.
