Rules For Effective Email Marketing

If you want an email campaign to succeed, you don`t want to
offend anyone when sending your messages.  Turn off a
consumer with your email and you can be sure they`ll
tune out your message.  Don`t let this happen to you!
A message that earns respect makes sales.  That`s why our
first topic for discussion is email etiquette. (Later in the
course, we`ll talk more about how to write an email sales
letter.)
Train yourself to always -- and I mean ALWAYS -- stick to
the rules below when crafting your email message.
=> RULE #1 - ALWAYS WRAP YOUR LINES AT 65
CHARACTERS OR LESS
Whenever you write an email, always format the lines so that
they`re 65 characters, or less, across.  To do this, you may
need to do a "hard return" by hitting "Enter" at the end of
the line.
Wondering why to limit your lines to just 65 characters?
(Good question!  It shows you`re thinking.)  There are two
reasons that "less is more":
-- The first thing to remember is that looking at a computer
screen for a long time causes EYE FATIGUE for many readers.
The shorter span of characters across the screen makes
reading easier and more appealing to the recipient of your
email message.
-- The other reason to go short instead of long is this:
some email clients AUTOMATICALLY ENFORCE LINE-WRAPPING
at 60-65 characters on received messages.  If your email
is wrapped at 70, the content will arrive all "chopped up."
This makes it unattractive...and worse -- unappealing.
  -- Tip within a Rule #1:  Email clients such as Outlook
Express allow you to SET THE LINE-WRAP to any
character-width you choose.  That means you won`t have to
hit Enter each time after typing 65 characters.  Makes life
easier!
  -- Tip within a Rule #2 - You can type 65 asterisks or
dashes in a Notepad file to create a template.  Then paste
your email below it to see if any lines extend too far to
the right.
=> RULE # 2 - BE CAREFUL USING ALL CAPS
How many times have you changed the TV channel to avoid
listening to a screaming car salesperson?  No one likes a
screaming salesperson...and no one likes a "screaming" email
message, either.  Odds are, when someone has over-amped the
volume of their message by using too many capital letters
(not to mention too many exclamation points and other
punctuation) - you`re going to be turned off.
On the Internet, email messages written in all caps are
considered yelling. It`s okay to write some sentences and
some words in all caps, but don`t go overboard.  (As you can
see in this message, I`ve tried to use capital letters to
help break up sections of the content from time to time)
-- Tip within a Rule:  Consumers buy from a source they
trust.  Emails in all caps are perceived as "shady" or
uneducated, and have an appearance that damages the
credibility of an offer.
=> RULE #3 - WATCH YOUR Ps & Qs (Spelling and Grammar)
Would you be influenced by an email selling you something
that had noticeable spelling and grammar mistakes?  Sure you
would...and the influence would be negative, not positive!
When a consumer reads a sales message that`s filled with
errors, they think to themselves, "Good grief, this person
doesn`t even take the time to get his emails right.  His
product is probably the same quality as his emails."
When you`re in business, YOUR IMAGE IS YOUR REPUTATION
and your reputation is the reason people buy from you or the
guy down the block.  It`s essential that you create an image
of INTEGRITY, CREDIBILITY, and HONESTY in the mind
of your prospects. Sending emails filled with errors doesn`t
hurt your professional image...it destroys it.  (Ouch!)

Inside Tips from a New York Web Design Company

What makes a New York Web design company any different from other Web design companies? That’s easy Competition. Just look at how many design firms there are out there and you will see what I mean! In the city or outside, someone seeking high quality Web design in New York faces hundreds of choices in an area of just a few city blocks. Now that’s competition!
If you don’t live or work there it can be hard to imagine, so let me paint a picture Let’s say you typed “New York web design” into Google’s search box. You would get over twenty one million pages returned! Yes. 21,000,000! Are there that many Web design companies in New York? Of course not. But there are thousands of Web design firms in the area desperately trying to outdo each other. To be seen first and as the best. And 21,000,000 Web pages of competition are a testament of just how hard they will work to do so.
Sure, the competition is crazy but there is a good side. It makes those who really want to shine, work that much harder. They know anyone seeking design services has thousands of choices so they have to keep their ideas fresh and talent at its peak.
That said; here are some inside tips from a successful New York Web design company. We will focus specifically on Website usability, which has the unique distinction of being both the most important and principal consideration yet which is generally least considered.
First of all, people don’t typically read a Web page. They gloss over it. Actually, they quickly scan it so you need to get their attention right away and keep it. Here’s how…
1.) Use your most important keywords as the anchor text (that’s the text comprising the hypelinked words) in your links throughout your page’s content. This is a biggie! Want to see how big?
2.) Make sure your functional areas are consistent, as much as possible, throughout your site. This is especially true of the navigation links (top, left, right, etc.) search fields, logins, and anything else needing user interaction. The more at ease your visitor feels working through the site, the more likely he or she is to stay for a while and go even deeper.
3.) Embed a link to your homepage within your company logo. This is expected by just about every site visitor who has been on the Web for any length of time. It’s a safety net many users rely and to deny it could result in major inconvenience to your visitors.
4.) Add a search box in an easy to find, consistent location. And be certain it searches ONLY within your Website. Having a search feature that offers to “Search The Web” gives your visitors an invitation to leave your site. Why would you want that?
Secondly, people are not the only ones who visit your site. Search Engines do too. At least you should hope they do. So how do you make a website search engine friendly? It’s easier than you might think. There’s a lot more to it than using keywords in your meta tags. The days when you could just add keywords to your site’s head tags are over. The following are the three (3) things you absolutely need to do if you want your site at the top of Google.
1.) Use keywords as anchor text (the visible clickable words) in your links throughout your page’s content. This is huge! Allow me to demonstrate how powerful this one element can be.
Go to Google and run a search for “Click Here” (no quotes.) Now try to pay special attention to two things… First, there are more than 1.6 billion other (competing) pages. Second, the number 1 match is a link to an Adobe Acrobat Reader download page.
Ready for a surprise? The term Click Here is not anywhere on the page text or META tags. The page is number one, out of 1.6 Billion pages, because thousands of Web pages supplying a link to Acrobat “Click Here” as their anchor text of choice. Amazing, isn’t it? This is the best news every for your site! This is like a magic bullet that works every single time. And it’s so easy. This leads us to our next tip
2.) If SEO becomes a priority for your site, as most will, build a separate page for each of your main keywords. And don’t forget to link the keyword rich anchor text, from each individual page, to the topic page that has that specific keyword as its main focus.
Insider Advice: As a Web developer you can deliver more value to your clients and earn substantially more by learning about SEO and helping get your clients sites to the top of Google, Yahoo and MSN. There are plenty of great SEO tools that can help anyone become a quick success with little time or effort. Just find a product that delivers and has customers you recognize. eBay, Motorola and Lexmark all place their online success in the hands of a tool you can get for $250 at http://www.iBusinessPR0M0TER.com. Just dig around and find a tool that has the best success rate with clients who could easily afford anything but choose to stick with that one.
3.) Keep the idea of relevant anchor text in mind when requesting inbound links from other Websites. Google is all about inbound links and even the sites with the best content never get too high without great inbound links. By the way, this might not seem like a ?design? tip but it is more important than you can imagine.
Take this opportunity to build your brand in your own words. Remember, once you have the visitor, you have to keep them. Using the same logic as tip two, you should always request specific keywords be used as anchor text in the links from other sites to your pages. It’s also better to have each link go to the most logical page. Some to the home page are fine but you really want relevant deep linking as much as possible.
Warning: Avoid reciprocal link farms like the plague! They are so easy for Google to spot it’s a joke.
If you need to build links quickly or don’t have the time to dedicate to requesting links yourself, you can use a service that does “3 way linking.? It’s the ideal ?set it and forget it? option without worrying about reciprocal links being tracked. A service called 3 Way Linker (http://www.3WayLinker.com) is one of several that do this nicely and affordably.
It’s so simple that it’s brilliant. Imagine that ?Site A” links to ?Site B” then ?Site B” links to ?Site “C”. Finally ?Site C” links to ?Site A”. Using this method each is a true one way link.
That’s all for now. Good luck!

Making Money Online Through The Use Of Clickbank

Whether one is just getting involved in internet marketing or has been doing it for some time you are going to be looking for ways in which you can make money easily and profitability through the use of affiliate marketing. So you should seriously be considering selling Clickbank products. But Clickbank isn’t actually an affiliate network in the strictest meaning of the words, but rather a place where products are sold and which can be purchased safely by those wishing to buy them.
In a press release that Clickbank sent out just over a year ago they announced that during the first day’s trading of 2007 they had managed to make over $1 million worth of sales. Then since this time it has been a regular occurrence for more than $1 million worth of sales to have taken place on any given day.
But it is not just the daily sales figures at Clickbank which are so impressive, other statistics relating to Clickbank are proving to be just as impressive and these will give you some idea as to why you may seriously want to consider using Clickbank to provide you with a regular source of income.
1. Clickbank has now more than 1.25 million registered affiliates on their site and of these 100,000 is known as being active, whilst another 12,000 or so are known as publishers.
2. The sales that are taking place on Clickbank are currently running at 30% above those that occurred in 2007.
3. Currently there are more than 35,000 products listed by Clickbank and each and every day a further thirty new products are being added to this list.
4. Today the average price of products that are now being sold on Clickbank work out at about $41. Plus the average rate of commission that the affiliates earn through selling such products is 55%.
5. The average number of sales which take place on any given day on Clickbank is around 25,000.
But what is Clickbank’s real strength is that it is able to cater not only for affiliates but also publishers as well. This means that the average customer has the chance to choose where to produce books that they sell or where to promote other people’s products. But at the end of the day the success of Clickbank is down to those affiliates who are able to create more than 70% of all the sales that occur through it. Certainly promoting one of the many products that you can find on Clickbank is without a doubt the best way for you to be able to generate an online income quickly.
There are several ways in which a person can promote Clickbank products the easiest of these being to set up a blog where you provide a review of the product in question along with further information about it. The other way that many people find useful to promote Clickbank products is by writing articles and then submitting one of the numerous online article directories. Through the resource box on these articles one is able to provide a link which will then direct the reader to your sales page or blog.
Another way of promoting Clickbank products which are used by some of the more experienced marketers is to create Pay Per Click Adverts which you then put on to networks such as Google Adsense. You need to learn everything about the various techniques involved in creating the right kinds of adverts if you want to be assured of getting a regular income from them. Ideally, I wouldn’t recommend using this method unless you really have gained the right amount of experience first.
Being a publisher on Clickbank is not that difficult, the main criteria being that you have something that you wish to sell. As for the writing of the articles etc., this is something that you can outsource to a specialist writing if you wish or you could purchase Private Label Rights e-books or articles instead. With these then all you have to do is alter them to suit you and make them unique to you. Then once listed this provides you with access to even more potential new affiliates for your business.
So you haven’t tried Clickbank yet, then isn’t it about time you did. Take a few minutes just to look at what they have to offer and I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

The Best Way To Make Money Online According To Me!

Making Money Online is the rave of the Internet these days. The only thing is you need to know a little bit about what you are doing in order to make a real income, and that is a little easier said than done.
I am no expert on Internet Marketing, but I have been making money online for the last 4 years now. The easiest way that I have found to get started making money online is to find an existing money making program and copy it.
Since I have been marketing online for a while now, I know that the marketers who can make the most money, the fastest are the ones who have a list of prospects that they can e-mail their offers to. The old saying “The Money Is In The List” is true. When you have an list of people interested in your offer that you can mail to, that’s money in the bank.
Building a list is collecting email addresses of people who want to be contacted by you. One of easiest ways of getting those names is to advertise something your prospects can get for free. Your product or service must have a perception of value to get the most sign ups. The benefit of building a large list is you have contact with hundreds to thousands of people whenever you have a message to get out.
The free offer method is a great way to start building a good list of interested prospects, and most online marketers use it, but for me it has a problem that has bugged me for some time. You see you have a cost that comes with advertising your free offer on the internet. Now granted you are receiving guality prospects, but you are not receiving any compensation to cover your advertising cost because you are giving away a free offer. Well I recently discovered a solution to that problem.
Here is how this unique system has solved the above problem. The offer is a program that helps anyone build a large opt-in list. Your Free offer is a Free 3 day 2 night vacation given to anyone who joins your list building program. I cost $10 bucks to join the program. You and 4 other marketers will get paid $2.00 each when someone joins. When your prospect run the same promotion and starts building their own list you will get paid $2.00 again from everyone who joins their list and so on down 5 levels deep.
The reason this program is so effective is that it’s so simple and inexpensive to run. Look what can happen when you follow the simple program instructions. Everyone who joins this pays 5 people $2 each. That’s the $10 cost involved. You then start receiving tons of $2 payments yourself. First from your 10. Then from their 10, then from their 10, etc. If everyone were to take a full month to get their 10 this is what you can expect to earn each month… Month 1: $20 (whoopie!) Month 2: $200 (looking better) Month 3: $2,000 (lets go shopping) Month 4: $20,000 (goodbye CC debt - hello Cancun!) Month 5: $200,000 (goodbye mortgage)
In my opinion this is a great way to get started marketing on the internet, because you have a product to offer that will build you a huge list of opt-in prospects that you can promote other offers to, plus it generates income to help offset your advertising cost. The program is simple and inexpensive to promote, you get a Free 3 day 2 night vacation, plus you have the potential to earn $20,000 in 4 months and build a 10,000 strong prospect list all for just $10. For more details on this amazing program, click the link in the resource box.

ClickBank Your Way to Affiliate Sales Success

Affiliate marketing is a very popular path to making money online allowing you to work from home and giving you the freedom of working for yourself. If you want to get started in affiliate marketing, you should know where to get good affiliate programs. ClickBank is the cream of the crop. Here’s how to tap into the ClickBank treasure chest.
ClickBank is the most well known and highly trafficked affiliate products marketplace on the internet. You can become a ClickBank affiliate simply by opening an account and getting a ClickBank ID. Once in as a registered affiliate you should then click on the Earn Commissions tab. Here it is your task to seek out products and services that fit your target market and your website. Look for the popular products and you’ll get a good idea of what is selling well and you can pinpoint the products that are already selling successfully.
ClickBank operates as a 3rd party middleman between the merchants selling products and the affiliates who promote them. ClickBank delivers the merchants offers and sets the affiliate up to promote that product for a commission. This is what makes affiliate marketing so popular - the product is created and ready for sale with no effort on your part in bringing it to the market. Your effort and reward comes in promoting it. ClickBank tracks your sales and delivers you your commissions. You get real-time sales reporting, statistics, and a paycheck twice a month.
As an affiliate you are free to choose marketing techniques and promotion tools as you wish to direct traffic and encourage clicks and sales. But affiliate marketing is far more than promoting a product. If you are to excel and become a super affiliate through ClickBank’s marketplace you will need to develop your skills in search engine optimization, general internet marketing techniques such as email and article marketing, newsletter marketing, back links, link exchanges and your own website content promotion. Promotion of products on your own website through articles, reports and e-books is one of the keys to super affiliate success. Using your affiliate links in all your content you provide your visitors with quality information and advice about the things they are interested in. That done you can link to a product sales page you are promoting and the chances of their clicking through and considering the product are due to your helpful approach in offering free content of value.
It is essential to offer multiple products rather than just one or two. You don’t want to fill your site with everything on the market though. Choose affiliate programs that are geared to your site and audience. With affiliate links and sales pages in place you are setting up an automated system that gives you passive income and more time for other projects.
To be a super affiliate you do have to remain on top of the trends of online marketing. What worked last year and even last month can change to something completely different. Watch your statistics to be aware of what is working and what isn’t. If you miss out on changes, new ideas and tools you will lose in traffic and sales because your competition will be way ahead of you.
In the affiliate marketing business you must have a strong sense of ability to succeed and a willingness to learn and apply what you learn on a consistent manner. Don’t hesitate. Hesitation and indecisiveness are the characteristics of mediocrity in affiliate sales.
Don’t forget that success won’t happen overnight. It may take weeks or months. It will require a large chunk of commitment from you but in the end you will be so glad you spent the time establishing a good foundation. With patience, persistence and knowledge you will start making sales. Once you find out what works and do more of it, you’ll be clicking your way to the bank, thanks to ClickBank and your hard work.

Recycle Your Blogging Content

If you have more than five hundred post written under your name, it is time you evaluate whether you should turn your blogging content into a profitable business. A handful of bloggers have published their own hard copy book and ebook which provides comprehensive data collection of enriched content found on their blog.

Would you like to recycle your blogging content and create something profitable out of it? Before you think about making a profit, these are some of the tools that you will need if you want to sell your products like hotcakes.

Autoresponders. You need a strong list of readers subscribed to your weekly newsletter which you deliver to them without fail with a set of tips or release of your new products.

Landing Page. You will need to have your product Landing page to be ready so that which your book is for sales, the readers can be directed to the right place to purchase the book.

Soft-launch. You will need to do a soft-launch to respectable bloggers and Forum moderators who already have authority in this field and get a testimonial from them which you have prove as evidence to your potential buyers that your product is no hoax.

Getting your graphics right. It might not be of any concern to your sales but good graphics used attracts potential buyers like how bees source for pollens. If you are no designer, then source for one which their service is not expensive.

Any Freebies? If you do have third party products given for free to your buyers, it might boost your sales, since everyone loves the word free and telling them how much it is worth could give them a rough guide how much they are only paying for this product in return for another exciting product.

 

Remember that these five steps will only aid you in selling your ebook but having your ebook clustered into one requires more than five steps to turn this into a profitable business.

Compilation of Contents. Compiling your top 100 written post is the primary step. Breaking it down into different section and categories which can form a content table.

Generating Subscribers List. Extract a few articles to be your promotional give aways to entice your buyers, that is where your autoresponders comes in place, in order to download this exclusive article, you need to signup in my weekly newsletter and that is how you generate your subscribers.

Repackaging Your Content. Your Post could be repackaged into various form of business, like Audio lessons, speeches, class lessons and video tapes.

Attracting Subscribers. You need more subscribers turn potential buyers to increase the sales level of your product. You could have already submitted tons of free publish articles which requires the other party to leave a mini resource box with the publishersname and website which can in turn mark up your sales.

Things to Look When Placing AdSense Ads

One of the biggest you can make when placing AdSense ads on your
pages is placing TOO MANY ad units on a single page!

Besides how this SCREAMS to visitors that you are begging for them
to help you make some income, it is not productive for other
reasons too.

In all my testing, and from my research, it is obvious that less is
more when it comes to better producing AdSense pages. Why is this?

First of all, the most important determining factor for people
clicking your ads is how long they are spending on your site in the
first place. When someone comes to a site which looks to be boring
or simply full of ads, their response will be to click the back
button and NOT one of your AdSense ads.

If your content is compelling and keeps a visitor on the site
longer, they will be more likely to click an AdSense ad. The space
you use showing all those many ad groups could better be spent
featuring valuable content which the visitor will find interesting.

Secondly, Google is all about making money for Google. If you only
select to have one ad group on your page, Google is more likely to
populate that group with higher paying ads. If you have multiple ad
groups on one page, Google will be forced to fill the many groups
with some very low paying ads. Therefore, the average value of
clicks on that page will be diluted by those lower quality ads.

Don't blindly trust this advice though. Testing is vital! Carefully
record your clicks and earnings for a page over time. Then modify
it (move or delete some ad groups) and let it run until you have a
few hundred or so clicks again; record these and compare with the
previous format. Then modify it and test again! Continued testing
is KEY!

6 Ways To Turn Your Unique Website Visitors Into Repeat Website Customers

1. Stay In Touch
Stay in contact with customers on a regular basis. You will need to test and measure how often your clients wish to receive your information.
For some it is once a day but for most it will be at least once a week to once a fortnight. This is why building an optin list is so important.
Offer visitors a free e-zine subscription or a free report about the “7 deadly mistakes that ……”. You simply must build a list and if you aren t you are losing money. Period.
After every sale follow-up with the customer within 48 hours to see if they are satisfied with their purchase and follow up with back end sales.
A customer who buys from you are likely to buy from you again provided you provide exceptional service, high value and make them feel special and respected.
2. A Friendly And Easy Navigated Web Site
Make it easy for your customers to navigate through your Web site. Have a “FAQ” section on your Web site to explain answers to frequently asked questions.
Spell out exactly how they can make a transaction on line for you. You should be tracking your website to determine which pages are being visited and where visitors are entering and exiting your website.
Is there a logical flow through your website? Are visitors able to view all pages quickly (within 6 seconds) over their connection?
Are there no banner ads or distracting images that may interrupt the flow of information to the visitor?
Can they view the site without having to scroll left or right? Ie is the site optimized for at least 800 x 600 resolution?
You could also write up an electronic survey or Php Poll to ask your customers what they need and offer them an incentive to fill it in.
3. Easily Communicated With
Make it easy and for your customers to contact you. Offer Email, Phone, Mail (and office details). Some may prefer to use Skype or Instant Messenger as well. You could also offer toll free numbers for phone and fax contact. I recommend the use of a contact us script rather than a hyperlinked email address to avoid being spammed.
4. Practice Outstanding Customer Service
Make sure employees know of and use your customer service policy. Be flexible in your customer relations and above all be fair and respectful to their concerns, needs and wants. Give your employees bonuses or incentives to practice excellent customer service.
5. Impress Your Customer With The “Cherry On Top” Approach
Always give your customers more than they expect. This will reduce the likelihood of returns from “impulse buys”. A thank you gift or voucher can go a long way to ensure that your customer buys from you again. An email within 48 hours of the purchase to confirm that they love the purchase and seek any assistance will also improve customer satisfaction.
6. Be Respectful
Always be polite to your customers by using the words please, thank you, and your welcome. Above all be respectful to your customer. If you make a mistake apologize sincerely and quickly. Above all make it up to the customer so that they will return with a positive impression of your business.

Keyword Tool for Earning Online Money

Among the online money making tools you've got for your online business I'm sure a keyword tool is the king and queen! A keyword tool is, in other words, the way to tell how your potential customers are looking into their need. After all, it takes a need and its satisfaction to bring a salesman and a customer together!

There are some available online money making tools that include a keyword tool, others that sell separately and some keyword tools that are free. Although snubbed by certain people these latter ones can be of huge assistance and if used properly do not have anything to miss compared to the more sophisticated tools that sell for a considerable amount of money. Here are some sources for you to explore:

1)The free wordtracker tool. This tool lets you know how many times a certain term has been searched for in the search engines. You can find valuable information here and if you look closely to the related searches that this tool provide you can see certain trends that potential customers develop when searching to buy. Some disadvantages are the not so accurate search volume that comes up with, not in terms of relevancy but in terms of volume and the fact that it does not provide you with some competition information that other tools give you. Nevertheless, it is really effective especially for people that know to read between the lines!

2)The keyword tool from Google adwords. This is again a fine keyword tool that has the main advantage to provide data straight from the source: Big Google itself! It gives you info on the search volume of keywords, competition lookout and other statistical data. Among the online money making tools that you may encounter this should become a daily habit! It also has a really powerful feature of keyword research that is similar to reverse engineering!

3) The Google trends. While this is not the typical keyword tool it is free and can be used to spot search terms over the period of time. You can learn for instance that the keyword you were thinking to promote declines during the winter and spikes during summer in terms of volume search. So going after it just before summer would give you something to anticipate.

Of course there are other online money making tools out there but the above ones are really well tested and they are free! They do have some weaknesses and only the combined use of them can help you get over these obstacles.

How To Get Repeat Visitors To Your Site

When you have a website online it is important for you to try and get new visitors to your site, but it s also important to take care of the visitors that you actually already have. This is because you will want your existing visitors to keep returning to your site again and again.
There are many ways that you can do this. Some of these include the following:
Updating your Website content continuously
This is an important factor to consider if you want your visitors to keep returning to your site. This is because if you keep on updating your sites content, then every time your visitors come back to your site they will see something new every time, which should then interest them even further. If you don t update your content on a regular basis, then your visitors will end up getting bored of your site and will then go elsewhere.
Making your site more sticky
Giving your site more stickiness will make it more addictive to your sites visitors, which will in return make them want to come back to your site.
This can be done by many different approaches. For example, you can add games to your site like the games listed here.
You can even give free things away on your site. For example, you can give away free coupons, free scripts, free web hosting, etc. You can even offer your visitors free re-printable articles so that they can add them to their own site. Free reprintable articles can be found at this articles directory.
Checking your site for broken links
This is very important when having a site. If your site does not function properly, then your visitors will not even bother with it. One of the most annoying things when visiting a site is when it has continuous broken links.
If you find it hard to manually check your site for broken links, then a good piece of free software to use would be the REL Link Checker Lite, which can be downloaded from http://www.relsoftware.com/.
Getting other people s opinions
When having a site, other than your own thoughts, it is also a good idea to get other people s opinions. For example, the colours of your site, what parts people like on your site the most, what parts people dislike the most, etc. Getting opinions from your visitors like this will help you to find out what most people dislikes about your site, which means you can then improve these parts, making it better for your visitors in return.

PageRank Simplified – How to get a better Page Rank

Throughout this article I'm going to use some terminology you may not be familiar with.

Inbound link - Theses are one way links coming into your website

Outbound link - There's are one way links that are leaving your website

Cross Links - These are link exchanges, eg you link to site A and site A links back to you

Page Rank/PR - This is on a scale of 1-10 and is how Google measures how important your website is

SEO or Search engine optimization is key to driving traffic to your website from search engines. People often wonder how to get those coveted 1-10 ranks for your keywords, but struggle in doing so. The first and most important step in obtaining those rankings is to target specific key phrases. Its better to target a specific phrase than an individual word, as competition for the individual words is very high and usually dominated by massive businesses.

1) Check out your competitors

For example, lets assume your business sells computers. It would be an impossible task to optimize your site for the keyword 'computer' or 'computers'. If you do a Google search for 'computer' you will see there are 1,330,000,000 results and the top ranking sites include apple and dell to name a few. You will never get into that top 10 list, there is simply to much competition.

2) So, what do I do?

Have a look at your website and ask yourself what do you sell? Is it computers specifically built to play games? If so you should try 'custom gaming pcs. This search term returns 413,000 results much easier to beat than the previous 1,330,000,000 results and the #1 spot only has 53 inbound links. This should be fairly easy to beat and take their precious #1 spot.

Before we start looking at how to build links, you need to make sure that your website has being optimized for your chosen keywords. I recommend a piece of software called http://www.seoelitedirect.com

3) Checking out competitors inbound links

If you haven't purchased SEO Elite (http://www.seoelitedirect.com) which has this superb feature built in. I will show you how to check out your competitors links, the long way...

Access toolbar.google.com and install the toolbar on your browser. Type your keyword into the search (in this example 'custom gaming pcs') and then click on options > more tab and tick the page info box. Simply click on the blue circle icon with an I in it and then choose 'Backwards links'. This will show you a sample of the incoming links a page has, as you can see the #1 spot has 53 inbound links.

4) Make friends with other websites

Look at each inbound link the #1 spot has, see if each page is relevant to your website, it probably is! Browse around the site and find a way to contact the webmaster, there is usually an email address somewhere. Simply contact the webmaster and ask if they would like to trade links with you. Take not of the green bar on Google tool bar, this tells you the Page rank of the page. Links from sites with higher PR are better than links from sites with low PR.

Do this for every site that is linking to the #1 site for your keyword. Then do it for spot #2, #3, #4 and so on. Some webmasters will just ignore your email, don't get disheartened, there are plenty more links out there waiting for you! If a webmaster refuses to trade links, thank him gracefully.

5) Results

After doing the above for a couple of weeks, Google will re-index their rankings and you will jump up the search rankings. It can take a few months for your page rank to be updated though so don't worry about that. The more links you build, the higher you will rank. The more you put in the more you get out of it.

Keep your visitors in the website

One of the primary implications of a well-organized / good website, is to keep your visitors in the website. A website is definitely created for a purpose, unless intended for personal use, which is the minority. For example, a portfolio website would want to be visited and it’s content viewed. For companies and internet businesses, your website certainly aims to provide product information, to make sales, or somewhat similar. However, most individuals undoubtly prefer visually captivating designs, so on and so forth. It is undeniable that this causes no harm, but one must put himself/herself in other people’s shoes, as to understand how a visitor to the website might think, do and react. 1 ) Navigation
As I said, a web designer has to learn how to think the way your visitors think.
Situation A : Website with good navigation ( 2-3 hyperlinks to target page ), well planned in terms of placement, and design.
Situation B : Website with poor navigation ( takes forever for the visitor to reach his/her target page ), hard-to-read navigation fonts and poor placement of the navigation buttons/bar.
In Situation A, a visitor will always want to be able to access his/her target page. For example, the individual comes across your website, and is interested in the product sold, but wants to find more information. He/she finds the navigation with no trouble, and enters the particular product information page.
As for Situation B, a visitor stumbles into the website, and would also like to find out more information about the product. Unfortunately, due to bad placement and fanciful font-types, the visitor takes forever, or even fails to find the navigation bar. Even when he/she does so, links to the product information are nowhere to be found, (example : home > about > products > product image > etc…[a few more clicks] > product information ).
Analysis : In both situations, wouldn’t a website with characteristics similar to the Situation A be more rewarding ergo better?

How To Advertise Your Website The Right Way - Without Suffering Pitfalls

Congratulations on owning your own business! Just getting to the point of having a website that requires skilled marketing is enough of an endeavor that it causes lesser would-be entrepreneurs to throw in the towel. You have already passed one important hurdle. Of course, now that you have entered cyberspace with your wares, it is vital that you get out the word to those clients and customers who have the power to not only keep you in business, but to actually further the growth of your company to such an extent that eventually you will become a powerhouse unto yourself! How to advertise your website the right way - without suffering pitfalls - reads a bit like a how-to list of things to avoid and while some might be rather a common sense form of approach, other pitfalls are often cleverly disguised and you will be surprised just how many companies have suffered from not heeding some basic common sense advice!
?Perhaps the most commonly made mistake is that of too early over diversification. You have thrown open the doors to your home business and you are ready to proclaim your existence to the world. Unfortunately, you forget that it is the local appeal that should be harnessed first, and thus while you are busy on the general Internet sites, the local ones remain underserved. If you neighbor cannot find your, it is immaterial if a person around the world can!
?Next to advertising to a target audience, the next most important aspect is the creation of creating an advertising campaign that sticks out. It is a mistake to advertise by text links and even small banner ads. Unless you get just the right affiliate to market your links you will find out quickly that this is a lesson in futility. Instead, go for the jugular by offering a free e-book giveaway that is directly germane to the item you are selling, setting up an affiliate program with a most generous remuneration package that will put feet on the ground and doing a lot of marketing for you, and of course sponsoring online contests and other giveaways. This is not the surefire way of getting out your website link
? Advertising on local television is a great way to gain exposure, but having your Uncle Otto with the camera come and shoot the commercial will most likely have the same effect as shooting yourself in the foot. Not hiring a professional for that kind of exposure is a mistake commonly made by small business, and you will do well to avoid it at all costs.
? The same does not hold true for radio ads. These are surprisingly expensive and although you will reach a large segment of the population, having an annoying ad will ensure that your name and web address is cemented in the minds of the listeners (remember that radio thrives on auditory learning, and sticking out is key in this medium) but not being too annoying is the difference between being remember and being turned off.

3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.
What are these three tactics?
1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.
Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.
You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.
2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

4 Things That Make A Web Site Great

First you need original content. Content is the heart beat of any exceptional Web site. The ability to take a common subject and give it some interest and originality is a rare talent,but necessary to keep visitors coming back. Add a dash of humor, be sure to update once or twice a month and look out, you’re on your way.
Second you need, great graphics. If your graphics are properly used they can greatly enhance a web site and it’s content. However, if you overuse or they take forever to load, you will drive visitors away before they even see the content. The irony here is that just about anyone can make decent graphics and expensive programs are not required.
Third, you need a good presentation. Good Web sites do not keep the user guessing. They make their purpose immediately evident and present an easy to follow navigation system. The content and graphics blend in perfectly with the presentation and following it is a simple matter. You will never find hyperbole or confusion caused by overuse of animated graphics,Java or anything else that will serve to mask the intent and content of the site. Most importantly, a great Web site is run by a competent and knowledgeable Webmaster. One who knows how to seamlessly move the visitors to each level of the site. A great Web site is not a side show, it’s a simple (no-need-to-be flashy) library of content. It just does what it is supposed to do and leaves the hoopla behind.
Last, but not least your site needs to be both interactive and proactive. Good web sites are ones that are people conscience.While, yes, the Internet is the cutting edge of technology andall that, remember it’s just regular people, like you and I that are using it and will make it what it is in the future. The great web sites are the ones with the developers who not onlyhave all the techno skills, but the people skills to boot. Think about the sites you visit over and over. What keeps you coming back. Useful content. Yes. How about that feeling ofbelonging. Like someone is actually having a one on one conversation with you. The ability to provide the opportunity to express and contribute is the mark of a superior web developerand what makes a web site one of the great ones.

5 Sizzling Tips to Create a Winning E-book

If you have been looking for a genuine business opportunity on the internet, somewhere along the way, you have heard about creating an e-book. And no doubt, you have read about the thousands of dollars you can make from home publishing. It just gets your juices going to think you could write an e-book and sell it to people all over the World and create an income that can replace your job. The excitement sets in but then the reality hits. You say to yourself, “I hate to write, I failed writing in school, my friends laugh at me because I can’t spell.”Or, maybe the voice rattling around in your head screaming failure says, “What would I write about, I don’t know enough about anything to write a book”
Here are 5 sizzling tips to help you on your way to creating a winning e-book.
1. The Easy Way
No matter what advice I might offer, there are some of you out there that just don’t want to write. The best thing to do is to find people that have already written a quality e-book and will offer you a resale license or agreement. Sometimes it is free if you buy the book which is what I do. And others charge a small fee for the complete resale rights. All in all, for most e-books out there, you can buy them for under $100 with resale rights. A business is born. Try and look for newer e-books and those that would be interesting to you. E-books that make the most amount of money teach you how to avoid pain or how to gain pleasure.
2. Another Great Idea
Go to the top article directories and search for articles in your subject of interest. For example, if you wanted to write a book that helps people save money on their taxes, go to several article directories and look up what articles have been written on that subject matter. If you see twenty great tips that can save people up to $1000 a year or more, you could compile a report that says something like“20 Tax Saving Strategies You Can’t Afford to Miss.” Of course, you can’t use these articles word for word because that is illegal but you can write down your own thoughts and ideas about each of the tips and re-write them in your own words. Now you can market this on the internet and sell it for $39.95. Do you think some reasonable portion of the 265 million people that live in the USA are interested in tax savings? You bet!
3. The Born Writer
Some years ago, Reader’s Digest reported that some 70% of people acknowledge they had a book inside of them they wanted to write one day. Most of us have something we want to share but many times just don’t know where to get started or feel overwhelmed by writing a whole book. This is where e-books can be fun. Most e-books are about 50 pages long with 12pt type and paragraphs double spaced. They really aren’t that long. If you break your e-book down into tips or ideas, it is easier to write. For instance, if you generated 50 tips, you would have one page per tip. That’s not so daunting! And, for heaven’s sake, write when you feel like writing. I have found that I can write twice as much when I feel inspired. And the quality is oh so much better!
4. What’s Hot?
If you are at a loss of what to write about, go to Amazon.com and find out what the best sellers are. They are a wonderful resource for anyone. Let’s say your interest is in the top weight loss programs. Order the 3 best selling books, read them and then write your own e-book. If it is a subject matter you are interested in, you’ll breeze through the books and have lots of ideas and comments. Even if your interests don’t seem like you would have much of an audience, you might be surprised to find out otherwise. Going to Overture and typing in your keyword is always helpful. For most subjects there are thousands if not millions of people that want to know more. If you can provide them with quality information, they will buy from you.
5. Teach What you Know
Most of us have some kind of a specialty but don’t recognize our talents. “No talent lies latent.” It could be anything from raising a difficult child to coaching basketball. Or it could be related to a job you have held whether it is a mechanic for sports cars or a software developer. Your e-book could simply be teaching someone how to do it better. Or maybe it is how to save time, or money or enjoy life more or to live healthier. People want better lives and if you show them some solutions, you’ll sell your e-book. Remember, your e-book doesn’t and shouldn’t be a novel. Break things down into steps or ideas and the writing will go smoother.
I hope these 5 simple tips have ignited the fire in your brain and inspired you to write that e-book. A business opportunity will be born.
