One of the key things to getting good rankings  with a search engine like Google is that you need a lot of  quality links pointing to your website.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So let us look at what the definition of a high quality  link is. This basically is a link from a web site that has  a lot of authority. For example it could be because the web  site offers a large amount of useful information. So in the  eyes of the search engine is that it is a trustworthy web  site. A really good example of this is Wikipedia. Other  examples are forums, directories and newspapers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I am going to show you a way that you can get a good page  rank relatively quickly. Getting quality links to your web  site is a very tedious process. You can start off by  submitting to quality directories. This does cost money,  but will save time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Here are my list of good quality directories that you can  submit to:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yahoo&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Goguides&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;JoeAnt&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Open Directory&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;MassiveLinks&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Skaffe&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Starting Point&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Uncover The Net&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gimpsy&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Best Of The Web&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately you will not get a lot of traffic from the  directory itself, but you will benefit from the high page  rank of the directories that will boost your search engine  rankings. Just remember to include your targeted keywords  in the description of your web site as search engines place  a lot of emphasis on this anchor text to rank well.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Another very important thing that you need to do is that  you need to ensure that you optimize the content of your  web site for long tail keywords.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/10/how-to-dominate-google.html' title='How To Dominate Google'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=1230539033879175631' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/1230539033879175631'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/1230539033879175631'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-812501673733118608</id><published>2007-03-15T19:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-15T19:24:13.178-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ebook Internet Marketing Strategy Secrets</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;       &lt;/p&gt;==========================================&lt;br /&gt;Ebook Internet Marketing Strategy Secrets&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;===========================================&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What ebook internet marketing strategy will you use? Over&lt;br /&gt;90% of internet business concentrates on marketing. Without&lt;br /&gt;a good internet marketing strategy it will make it very&lt;br /&gt;difficult to to get anybody to purchase your ebook. You&lt;br /&gt;need to develop a very good ebook internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;strategy to drive visitors to your website and ultimately&lt;br /&gt;generate customers and profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezine advertising will drive targeted visitors to your&lt;br /&gt;website quickly. You can target your adverts with laser&lt;br /&gt;like precision. Start off by looking for related ezines to&lt;br /&gt;advertise in. You can look in http://new-list.com/ and&lt;br /&gt;http://www.directoryofezines.com. The Directory of ezines&lt;br /&gt;contains important information such as contact information&lt;br /&gt;listed with the ezine and this will save you a lot of time.&lt;br /&gt;A solo advert to an ezine produces the best results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drive targeted traffic to your website using ppc&lt;br /&gt;advertising. You need to setup an account with Google&lt;br /&gt;Adwords, Overture and MSN Adcenter and you can also use&lt;br /&gt;some of the less popular ppc search engines. First you need&lt;br /&gt;to do keyword research and identify targeted keywords for&lt;br /&gt;your website then you can place your adverts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article marketing produces the highest quality of leads&lt;br /&gt;that you can produce.

Write articles related to your niche and submit&lt;br /&gt;them to the top article directories like Ezinearticles. You&lt;br /&gt;can also look for ezine newsletters which accept articles&lt;br /&gt;and submit your articles to these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use joint ventures and look for websites related to your&lt;br /&gt;niche as long as they do not compete directly with you.&lt;br /&gt;Contact these websites and ask them to send your offer to&lt;br /&gt;their list or post links to your website on their websites.&lt;br /&gt;You need to give them a reason to do this. You can offer to&lt;br /&gt;split the profits from the sales of your ebooks to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some successful marketers banner advertising produces&lt;br /&gt;the best results. You need to design your advert not to&lt;br /&gt;look like an advert so that it will get clicked on. For&lt;br /&gt;example you can use a white background and make your advert&lt;br /&gt;text look like a hyperlink so that it will get clicked on.&lt;br /&gt;Look for related websites to advertise on and negotiate&lt;br /&gt;with the website owner before you place your advertising&lt;br /&gt;campaign. You can also ask for a trial run to see if&lt;br /&gt;advertising on their website works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow these ebook internet marketing strategies.

Generating&lt;br /&gt;traffic and monetizing the traffic. Follow these&lt;br /&gt;copywriting tips and stand a much better chance of&lt;br /&gt;monetizing your targeted traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create an attention grabbing headline. A good headline will&lt;br /&gt;state a benefit  and then a measurable result for example&lt;br /&gt;"Discover How To Lose 20 Pounds In 10 Days".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to make the visitor aware of a problem. So for&lt;br /&gt;example you can make the visitor aware of all the health&lt;br /&gt;dangers of being overweight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to present a solution to how they can solve there&lt;br /&gt;problem. So say for example to lose weight you can explain&lt;br /&gt;scientifically how a high protein diet builds up more&lt;br /&gt;muscle and increases the metabolism to burn fat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to present your unique solution to solve the&lt;br /&gt;problem based on the scientific evidence you presented so&lt;br /&gt;far.

Usually&lt;br /&gt;no links to other pages like contact or privacy information&lt;br /&gt;exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your squeeze page will allow your subscriber to download a&lt;br /&gt;gift like a free e-book or report. You need very good sales&lt;br /&gt;copy on the page that will make them want to give their&lt;br /&gt;name and email address to download your free gift. You can&lt;br /&gt;test the effectiveness of your squeeze page by using a tool&lt;br /&gt;like Google analytics and measure how many visitors&lt;br /&gt;actually convert to subscribers. 30% rates as a good&lt;br /&gt;figure. Audio and video added to your squeeze page could&lt;br /&gt;increase your conversion rate to as high as 50%. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to integrate your squeeze page with your mailing&lt;br /&gt;list or auto responder. This means you will have to put&lt;br /&gt;html in your squeeze page to opt in to your autoresponder.&lt;br /&gt;You also need to send your mailing list targeted email&lt;br /&gt;offers. So for example if your mailing list targets golf&lt;br /&gt;you can send an offer for sample golf balls. You need to&lt;br /&gt;mail responsibly otherwise you will lose subscribers as&lt;br /&gt;they opt out of your mailing list when you send spam&lt;br /&gt;mails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The squeeze page technique seems very popular. All the top&lt;br /&gt;internet marketers use it and they recommend this technique&lt;br /&gt;to all their customers. The bigger your list the more money&lt;br /&gt;you make. However, one needs to refine the skill of list&lt;br /&gt;building as you only make money from subscribers who&lt;br /&gt;actually buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/squeeze+page" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=squeeze+page" alt=" " /&gt;squeeze page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula&lt;br /&gt;for building profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with&lt;br /&gt;secrets to generate multiple streams of internet&lt;br /&gt;income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/03/squeeze-page-secrets.html' title='Squeeze Page Secrets'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=8930415777891676744' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8930415777891676744'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8930415777891676744'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-6141173039013326910</id><published>2007-03-02T07:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-03-02T07:05:50.545-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Maximum Website Promotion through PPC Bid Management</title><content type='html'>Tools for Internet Marketing have been rising to popularity these days because of cost-effectiveness and the possibility of measuring increase in profits and sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay per click (PPC) is a means to advertise business through the use of keywords/phrases in the search engines. The advertiser is required to only pay for each click that sends a visitor to his website. Search engines such as Overture, Google Adwords, Search Yahoo and Miva are just some examples of search engines. They offer top positions among the sponsored listings for particular keywords/phrases you choose. The idea for bidding is you have to buy/bid on keywords/phrases relevant to your business. The highest bidder gets to be on the top of the search result listing and the second highest bidder, of course, gets the next top listing and so on. Every time a visitor clicks on your website, you will have to pay the same amount that you bid on that particular keyword.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PPC can be very costly, time consuming and sometimes not worthy. But if you know how to go about the step by step procedures, PPC is a welcome change to traditional advertising. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do your searches for products, articles and auctions in the net, you usually type in a keyword or a set of phrase to guide you in your search. Either you use Google or Yahoo Search depending on where you are most comfortable at and where you usually get the best results. As soon as you key in the search button, immediately a long list of keywords or phrase will be displayed containing the keywords you key in. The first or the top link that you saw is most likely the one who bids the highest for that keyword you type. In this way, businessmen will produce the desired results; they get to be advertised, at the same time, saving and spending only for the clicks they need that might translate to potential sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way to start PPC bid management is to identify first the maximum cost per click (CPC) you are willing to pay for a given keyword or phrase. CPC varies from time and even search engine to search engine too. Maximum CPC can be measured by averaging the current costs of bids (bids range from $0.25 to $5). Average of these bids is to be used as the maximum CPC to begin with. As your ad campaign progresses, the actual conversion rate (visitors turning to potential buyers/sales) will be determined and you may have to adjust your CPC (bidding rate) accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you start to bid, see to it that you adopt different bidding strategies for various search engines. Search engines have their own PPC systems that require different approaches. It is also worthy to identify different bids for the same keyword phrases in various search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing, it is wiser not to bid for the top spot for two reasons: 1) It is very expensive and impractical, and 2) Surfers usually try different search queries in various search engines before they settle on the right one that fits to what they are looking for. This hardly results to conversion. Try to bid for the fifth spot instead and work your way up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are now going steady on your PPC biddings, it is time for you to develop your own bidding strategy accordingly. It is important for you to track down which sites bring the bulk of your traffic and identify the ranking of your paid ads. This will help your bidding strategy to be effective and you should also decide where you want your ad to be positioned. Usually your maximum CPC will limit your choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bid gaps (e.g. $ 0.40, 0.39, bid gap, 0.20, 0.19, 0.18) occur when there is a significant price increase to move up one spot in the PPC rankings. It is best if you take advantage of the bid gaps by filling them in so you can save up your cents to other bidding opportunities. Often there are keywords worthy of lesser bids to get the appropriate ranking on the list and produce a good number of clicks and higher conversion rate rather than bidding higher but having a poor conversion rate. You have to put in mind that overbidding too is not good but rather the best position for the most effective bid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using pay-per-click bid management in promoting your website will only be successful if you take time building many lists across many engines and studying the performance of every listing. In this way, you can make the most value from what you spend in the bidding process.  The key is to use the necessary precautions to stay ahead of the competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bid Management Tools&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ensuring best results, you may use bid management tools. There are accepted and approved management tools that will help you in your bidding. They are categorized in two different types:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•    Web based (services by monthly subscription) or,&lt;br /&gt;•    PC based (a purchased software)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monitoring tools too may help in the tracking down of your keywords/phrases and search engines as to which among them often generate sales, overall and in relation to your cost per click. This is what you call return of investment (ROI) monitoring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These bid management tools may include additional functions that may not get from online marketing tools that are readily available. Other tools can monitor competitor’s bids, produce reports for different parties and offer the ability to interface with multiple PPC engines.

Use&lt;br /&gt;an unblockable popup or a form on your website to capture&lt;br /&gt;your visitor's name an email address. Alternatively you can&lt;br /&gt;also use a squeeze page with a free e-book as a gift to&lt;br /&gt;subscribe. This will allow you to use an automatic&lt;br /&gt;responder preloaded with your messages to sell to them over&lt;br /&gt;and over again reducing your manual intervention in the&lt;br /&gt;process and freeing up your time for things like creation&lt;br /&gt;of new products and internet marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Redirect your subscriber to a one time offer or the sales&lt;br /&gt;page of a product that you promote when they subscribe to&lt;br /&gt;your free offer. This allows you to start earning&lt;br /&gt;immediately off a subscriber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Build a relationship of trust with your customers through&lt;br /&gt;your automatic responder. Violate this and lose the trust&lt;br /&gt;of your subscriber. Send useful information targeted to&lt;br /&gt;your niche and avoid sending unrelated offers. Send gift&lt;br /&gt;emails through your automatic responder where you send your&lt;br /&gt;list a free gift that they will appreciate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get your subscriber to actually open your email sent&lt;br /&gt;through your automatic responder with the amount of email&lt;br /&gt;that a person receives, spam or genuine they will need a&lt;br /&gt;good reason to open up your email. Craft your email based&lt;br /&gt;on the following formula. First you need to create&lt;br /&gt;sufficent interest for them to open up your email. An&lt;br /&gt;attention grabbing headline will ensure they open up your&lt;br /&gt;email. Next you need to demonstrate a problem.  Then&lt;br /&gt;demonstrate your product as the solution to their problem.&lt;br /&gt;Next you need to get them to take action with a time&lt;br /&gt;sensitive offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure that you choose a reliable automatic responder&lt;br /&gt;like Getresponse or Aweber. This will ensure that your list&lt;br /&gt;of subscribers never gets lost and your emails will pass&lt;br /&gt;through the spam filters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.getresponse.com/index/imonline"&gt;Signup for a free Getresponse autoresponder here:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/automatic+responder" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=automatic+responder" alt=" " /&gt;automatic responder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula&lt;br /&gt;for building profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with&lt;br /&gt;secrets to generate multiple streams of internet&lt;br /&gt;income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/03/automatic-responder-secrets.html' title='Automatic Responder Secrets'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=3978058594548509435' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/3978058594548509435'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/3978058594548509435'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-5948539053759016290</id><published>2007-02-28T16:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-28T16:07:13.618-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='opt in email list'/><title type='text'>Building opt in list and affiliate marketing - effective internet marketing plan</title><content type='html'>Building opt in list and affiliate marketing - effective internet marketing plan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building opt in list and affiliate marketing have become synonymous to online success as an effective internet marketing strategy. For many online sites, building opt in list and affiliate marketing have proven quite profitable. Primarily because most online users are not exposed to any unscrupulous internet marketing strategies prevalent on the World Wide Web.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an effective Internet marketing strategy, users are given the option to signup for information or service provided by a particular site. Building opt in list and affiliate marketing reduces the risk of spamming since the recipient voluntarily chooses to receive emails from a website. Plus, building opt in list and affiliate marketing provides a direct link to the subscriber that will help shape a formidable customer relationship that will keep on going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basics of building opt in list and affiliate marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Different websites have different ways of building opt in list and affiliate marketing. However there are some tried and tested formulas to help new affiliate marketers develop their own opt in listing for their site. The first and most important factor to determine in building opt in list and affiliate marketing is to establish the site's target market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the target market is established, building opt in list and affiliate marketing can be customized to meet their demands. This can be done using a variety of methods to convince site visitors to sign up for the site's newsletter or e-zine. After signing up, the customer will begin to receive a variety of newsletters, e-zines and brochures that the customer had registered for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strategies for building opt in list and affiliate marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of strategies that affiliate marketers can use for building opt in list and affiliate marketing. One way of building opt in list and affiliate marketing is by purchasing or leasing a subscribers list from third-parties. This is usually done by affiliate marketers in order to get easy access to many people who have consented to receiving e-mails, newsletters and e-zines on various topics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it is the fastest approach to building opt in list and affiliate marketing, this method does not provide a focused consumer group for building opt in list and affiliate marketing. In addition, it may cost an affiliate marketer more than what they expect to receive in sales. Fortunately, there are other ways for affiliate marketers to get the most out of building opt in list and affiliate marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enlisting for co-registration services is great for building opt in list and affiliate marketing. This service usually costs about 10 cents to 30 cents per subscriber but it easily translates into an average of three hundred subscribers daily to an affiliate marketer's opt in list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing articles is also an effective strategy for building opt in list and affiliate marketing. The articles can be published in various newsletters with specific links to the affiliate marketer's site. This serves as a great introduction to potential subscribers that would encourage them to sign up for an opt in list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joint ventures are also a valuable strategy in building opt in list and affiliate marketing. Joint ventures are a hundred percent free and at the same time can add up to hundreds of subscribers to an opt in list daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incentives for building opt in list and affiliate marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building opt in list and affiliate marketing can also be encouraged by offering incentives to potential subscribers. This subtle form of encouragement for building opt in list and affiliate marketing often helps stir the interest of potential subscribers to sign up for the opt in list. There are a number of methods used in affiliate marketing to egg on potential subscribers to sign up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offering products and services in exchange for signing up is commonly practiced by many affiliate websites. Products may include special e-books or software that would be of interest to the subscriber. Another way to get subscribers to sign up is to offer them special services that are only available for site members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of the incentive used for building opt in list and affiliate marketing, the most important factor to consider is how to keep the interest of the subscriber. Remember, it is just as easy for a subscriber to opt out of the list as it was to opt in to the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/opt+in+email+list" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=opt+in+email+list" alt=" " /&gt;opt in email list&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/02/building-opt-in-list-and-affiliate.html' title='Building opt in list and affiliate marketing - effective internet marketing plan'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=5948539053759016290' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/5948539053759016290'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/5948539053759016290'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-3386516094376133611</id><published>2007-02-25T05:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-25T06:20:41.488-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='articlemarketing'/><title type='text'>Article Marketing Secrets Revealed</title><content type='html'>==========================================&lt;br /&gt;Article Marketing Secrets Revealed&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use article marketing to start an internet business&lt;br /&gt;especially if you do not have a budget. Most of the methods&lt;br /&gt;like pay per click, ezine and banner advertising cost money&lt;br /&gt;to drive traffic. The free methods like traffic exchanges,&lt;br /&gt;FFA leads and classified advertising produce leads less&lt;br /&gt;willing to buy. With article marketing your leads already&lt;br /&gt;know you from your articles and this makes them more&lt;br /&gt;qualified to buy from you as they would not have clicked&lt;br /&gt;through to your website if they did not trust you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose your target market and write about a topic that&lt;br /&gt;interests you and that you can give expert advice on.&lt;br /&gt;Brainstorm your ideas and find a topic related to your&lt;br /&gt;website. You need to also specifically write for your&lt;br /&gt;target audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before writing your article you need to determine your&lt;br /&gt;title. You need a headline that grabs attention to get the&lt;br /&gt;reader's attention. You also need to use a keyword research&lt;br /&gt;tool like Wordtracker to determine the keywords you need in&lt;br /&gt;your headline. You need to look for keywords searched often&lt;br /&gt;and not too much competition. Once you have determined&lt;br /&gt;these keywords you need to incorporate this into your your&lt;br /&gt;title. Search engines will index the article on popular&lt;br /&gt;directories like Ezine articles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write the introduction and conclusion next as this will get&lt;br /&gt;your creative juices flowing. You need to bullet all the&lt;br /&gt;points you would like to write about next. Expand on these&lt;br /&gt;points and write them in full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to proof you article once completed and check for&lt;br /&gt;grammar and spelling mistakes. You can sleep on it and&lt;br /&gt;check it the next day. You can also let a friend or&lt;br /&gt;relative give you feedback on your article. Use a free&lt;br /&gt;editor like Notetab lite to format your article into 60&lt;br /&gt;characters. You can also use a feature in Notetab lite&lt;br /&gt;where&lt;br /&gt;you can split and join lines. This allows you to easily&lt;br /&gt;remove hard returns which some article directories do not&lt;br /&gt;allow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to add a summary two to three sentences in length&lt;br /&gt;to describe your article. You need to also choose your&lt;br /&gt;keywords for your article, write a compelling resource box&lt;br /&gt;where you will represent your unique selling proposition&lt;br /&gt;and a call to action to visit your website or download a&lt;br /&gt;free report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submit your articles to the most popular article&lt;br /&gt;directories like Ezine articles. and you can submit to the&lt;br /&gt;less popular directories to generate backlinks for your&lt;br /&gt;website. Article marketing needs to be done consistently to&lt;br /&gt;see traffic. Writing consistently your search engine&lt;br /&gt;rankings will improve as more websites publish your&lt;br /&gt;articles and you get more backlinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://truckmilln.ezarticles.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;Click here - this was the ebook I read that turned me into an expert in writing articles!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/article+marketing" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=article+marketing" alt=" " /&gt;article marketing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula&lt;br /&gt;for building profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with&lt;br /&gt;secrets to generate multiple streams of internet&lt;br /&gt;income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/02/article-marketing-secrets-revealed.html' title='Article Marketing Secrets Revealed'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=3386516094376133611' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/3386516094376133611'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/3386516094376133611'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-2179228691698385554</id><published>2007-02-19T08:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-19T08:13:59.142-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sitemaps'/><title type='text'>SEO Sitemaps Give Websites a Boost</title><content type='html'>A lot of web pages will find an SEO sitemap useful in improving their performance.  SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization”, the process that aims to create or revise Internet sites so that it can be better found by search engines.  The objective of SEO campaigns is to have websites appear in the top listing or first results page of search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet search engines, such as Google and A9, maintain a very large database of Web pages and available files.  To do this, they devise a program called a web crawler, or spider.  This software automatically and continuously surfs and hunts content in the Web.  Pages that the spider finds are retrieved and indexed according to text content, giving more weight to titles and paragraph headers.  Spiders never stop navigating the web from page to page, to index the relevant content of the Internet.  Besides looking at the text of titles and headers, some programs are able to identify default tags and keep a library of these page keywords or key phrases in the index.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a user connects to the Internet types a query, which is automatically interpreted as keywords, the search engine scans the saved index and creates a list of web pages that is most appropriate to what the user is searching for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEO will use all the combined techniques of keyword analysis, smart code, good content literature, link popularity study and website organization to place the subject web page as high as possible in the list of search results in search engines.  Web pages displayed on the top of results pages are assumed to get the most attention, and therefore, opportunity for earnings for web businesses and pages with sponsor links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines usually return a list of results ranking pages according to the number of Internet sites linked to them.  Results can be classified as organic, or sponsored links.  Sponsored links are shown prominently because their creators or agents paid the search engine.  Sponsored links are the main source of income of search engines.  “Organic” search results are the lists of actual results from the engines index and are directly related to the keyword typed in the request.&lt;br /&gt;One of the more effective techniques of SEO is the creation of a well-organized site map in a website.  Since the site’s main page and other content are directly linked to a site map, spiders can more easily move through the website, identify the key words of the content, and index these for a search engine.  This is where the SEO sitemap helps the website creator or administrator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Site maps are usually pages filled with links.  These are shown as tables or lists, although lists are generally more effective.  Writing code for SEO sitemaps is very easy and simple to format and maintain.  These are ideally basic HTML pages with default tags, logical titles and keywords scattered in the Meta description.  Introduction areas can contain more of the keywords.  The site should have a main heading for every directory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple list layout helps reduce unnecessary tags that might “hide” your keywords.  Some spiders give more weight to the following, than text in the normal body of the webpage:  heading text, content within link elements, text nearer the top of the page and the text written for a link.  Therefore, writing the keywords and links in these areas could somehow move up the web page’s ranking.  This goes for SEO sitemaps as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web sites should be designed consistently, so navigation models should follow the flow of the site map.  Therefore, the first section in the site map should be the first link in the navigation bar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an SEO Sitemap, and most pages, the headings contain title attributes where more key phrases in the site map can be added. Keywords are generally well chosen and written in the body of a webpage.  However, in an SEO site map with little text, key words should be added as much as possible.  As much as possible, web links should follow web page titles, and must undergo SEO during coding.  Care must be exercised not to cram the page with keywords and links, or the page will be interpreted as blatant spamming and not receive any traffic at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no way to guarantee that a website will be shown in the topmost ranking of "organic" search results for an extended period of time.  However, smart and responsible SEO sitemap techniques can be used to place the website high up in the search position.  Regular monitoring and adjustment of the SEO Sitemap and search results would ensure that a website is kept near the top ranking and receiving lots of web user traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.addme.com/ror-sitemap-generator.htm"&gt;Use this free ROR sitemap generator to create sitemaps for your site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/sitemap" rel="tag"&gt;sitemap&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/02/seo-sitemaps-give-websites-boost.html' title='SEO Sitemaps Give Websites a Boost'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=2179228691698385554' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/2179228691698385554'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/2179228691698385554'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-3932223735646593094</id><published>2007-02-17T02:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-18T03:56:18.298-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='permission-based email marketing tips'/><title type='text'>Permission-based email marketing tips</title><content type='html'>==========================================&lt;br /&gt;Permission-based email marketing tips&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first started my internet business. I did not&lt;br /&gt;capture the email addresses of the hundreds of visitors&lt;br /&gt;that I received. Generally speaking you should earn one&lt;br /&gt;dollar for each opt-in subscriber. So say for example out&lt;br /&gt;of 100 subscriber's one out of ten people purchase ten&lt;br /&gt;dollars product which equals a hundred dollars. This&lt;br /&gt;depends on your sales letters, related product offers and&lt;br /&gt;how you build your relationship with your subscribers.&lt;br /&gt;Follow the tips here and build a good permission-based&lt;br /&gt;email list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually the visitor will not buy the very first time. They&lt;br /&gt;need to see your message at least 7 times to make a&lt;br /&gt;decision. Very few people will purchase the first time.&lt;br /&gt;Consequently you need to create a sales funnel with lots of&lt;br /&gt;prospects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very good lead generation page will put a prospect into a&lt;br /&gt;funnel. Use good sales copy and you can offer a free report&lt;br /&gt;or subscription to a newsletter that offers valuable&lt;br /&gt;information. You can take a good look at the lead&lt;br /&gt;generation page offered at&lt;br /&gt;http://www.secretaffiliatetips.com as this serves as a good&lt;br /&gt;example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any serious marketer needs an auto responder to capture&lt;br /&gt;their visitor's email addresses. Only use double opt-in&lt;br /&gt;addresses. This means that they need need to confirm their&lt;br /&gt;subscription to the list. You also need to ensure that you&lt;br /&gt;conform to the Can Spam act and list removal instructions&lt;br /&gt;and your contact details i.e. postal address etc... at the&lt;br /&gt;bottom. You need to target your offers and newsletters&lt;br /&gt;according to the niche. Use unrelated offers and&lt;br /&gt;information and you may get subscriber removals. Basically&lt;br /&gt;you need to build a relationship with your list. Offer good&lt;br /&gt;advice and only sell and recommend quality products. If you&lt;br /&gt;violate your user's trust you lose credibility and it will&lt;br /&gt;become difficult to make a sale to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should earn at least one dollar for every subscriber.&lt;br /&gt;If not then you need to look at how you build your&lt;br /&gt;relationships with your subscribers and what products you&lt;br /&gt;promote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.GetResponse.com/index/imonline"&gt;Signup for a free autoresponder here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula&lt;br /&gt;for building profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with&lt;br /&gt;secrets to generate multiple streams of internet&lt;br /&gt;income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/permission-based+email+marketing" rel="tag"&gt;permission-based email marketing&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/02/permission-based-email-marketing-tips.html' title='Permission-based email marketing tips'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=3932223735646593094' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/3932223735646593094'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/3932223735646593094'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-8989218016657949055</id><published>2007-02-16T08:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-16T08:56:29.113-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tips on Online Marketing</title><content type='html'>Marketing in a traditional sense has always been done by putting an ad either in the newspaper, the radio and the television. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being in the digital age, efforts done by marketing to get the message across is not that different. It has just become a little more high tech which continues to help drive sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Businesses that want to sell something in the market need 2 things. The first is the product to be sold which later on will be distributed. The second is marketing which is the vehicle that is used to carry that message across to the consumer so that people are aware of its existence then it is purchased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way of the fastest ways of doing marketing today is building a website. Should one decide to shift and decide to do this, here are some tips one needs to know to get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The first thing to do is to determine what the person wants to do. The product has to fill a need that the customers want right now. It should provide a solution of some kind that will make that will improve the quality of life either at home or at work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The next is to do the proper research. If the business is done with a group of people or a single proprietorship, it is best to brainstorm for the best domain name for the business. It should be catchy and will easily be remembered by people. Given that there are probably other people who have been in the business longer and that it is possible that the domain name has already been taken, it is best to think of several names in case it can no longer be used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are sites in the web that have search engines to look for a specific subject and using popular keywords for ones website  will easily help people find it. These sites also allow one to make a site map which can be downloaded in minutes for a small fee.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another good example is the various email sites and by doing a tie-up with these companies, one can get exposure as well as free service since people who do not have an account can also sign up and be an active member. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. A product of good quality should be sold at a decent price. Sometimes, the product one makes is already available in the market. To be competitive, one must figure out a way to convince people as to why this product is better than the other leading brands available. What features does it have that the competitor doesn’t? What makes it unique which is not only about the product on hand but the service that this can give as well?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Just like having a normal business, one must acquire the right equipment and machines for the job. These could be merchandise that is either physical or electronic and an online ordering system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be successful, one should be sure that the goods that a customer will order can be delivered on time. If there are any problems, a customer support staff or system should be ready to cater to that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. It takes money to make more money so one should be careful with what needs to be spent. By putting in tight controls in terms of expenditures and keeping track of the current balance while maintaining the same level of quality saves money which can be used for other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To avoid falling in this predicament, the first thing one must do is manage the expenses.  It is always good to carry a notebook around to log whatever expenses have been made or have a logbook to keep track how much balance is left. That way, a person can stay within a budget on a monthly basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. With everything in place, it is now time to promote the site. One can email to friends about the site and what it offers then this too will also be forwarded and advertised to others. Another is showcasing ones website in E-zines or electronic magazines to get more customer traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any business big or small must have the right resources available to get the message across to the people and building a web site or a site map takes time. One can do it alone if that person knows how to do it, get professional help or simply start from the basics and learn it from the ground up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://truckmilln.imarichkid.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img  src="http://www.ultimatewealthpackage.com/banner2a.gif"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/online+marketing" rel="tag"&gt;online marketing&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/02/tips-on-online-marketing.html' title='Tips on Online Marketing'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=8989218016657949055' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8989218016657949055'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8989218016657949055'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-802064301508911082</id><published>2007-02-10T23:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-12T14:55:38.913-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='improvedsearchengineplacement'/><title type='text'>Improved Search Engine Placement Secrets</title><content type='html'>==========================================&lt;br /&gt;Improved Search Engine Placement Secrets&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you develop your website do you stare into space? Do&lt;br /&gt;you keep on reading different forums and search engine&lt;br /&gt;ranking newsletters with different tricks to get to the top&lt;br /&gt;and wonder what steps you need to take to get it ranked&lt;br /&gt;well in search engines? It takes at least six months or&lt;br /&gt;more to get good rankings, but well worth the effort in the&lt;br /&gt;long run for all the free traffic you will get. Getting&lt;br /&gt;rankings in Yahoo and MSN takes much quicker a month to two&lt;br /&gt;while getting good rankings in Google can take up to 9&lt;br /&gt;months for a brand new site with the Google sandbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose a good niche and do your keywords research to choose&lt;br /&gt;keywords without too much competition that will get good&lt;br /&gt;traffic. You can use the Overture search suggestion tool&lt;br /&gt;and the Wordtracker tool. Wordtracker has good guidelines&lt;br /&gt;for selecting keywords without too much competition. Follow&lt;br /&gt;these and select your main traffic keyword(2 to 3 words in&lt;br /&gt;length recommended) that you will optimize your home page&lt;br /&gt;for. You need to draw up a list of keywords preferably 2 to&lt;br /&gt;4 keywords in length that will represent your main content&lt;br /&gt;of your website. Design each page of content based on these&lt;br /&gt;keywords, but remember to design the content for humans and&lt;br /&gt;not for search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your on page factors account for only about 10% of your&lt;br /&gt;search engine rankings. The title carries the most&lt;br /&gt;significance in your ranking. Use the key words in the&lt;br /&gt;title and keep it short 4 to 7 words and only target one&lt;br /&gt;set of key words in each title. The heading carries the&lt;br /&gt;next most significance and use your keywords in here. Use&lt;br /&gt;your keywords in the body of the web page 2 to 3 times. You&lt;br /&gt;can also place keywords once in the comment tags and the&lt;br /&gt;alt tags of the image tag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your off page factors account for about 90% of your search&lt;br /&gt;engine optimization. This mainly consists of getting&lt;br /&gt;quality back links to your website and you can use several&lt;br /&gt;ways to do this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get listed in the two most important directories on the web&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo and Open Directory. Google even mentions on their&lt;br /&gt;site that a link from these two websites constitutes as a&lt;br /&gt;vote of quality as in&lt;br /&gt;http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html. This&lt;br /&gt;definitely helps new websites trying to break out of the&lt;br /&gt;Google sandbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second tier directories which are important and will also&lt;br /&gt;help your search engine rankings since these still contain&lt;br /&gt;a quality directory trusted by search engines. These&lt;br /&gt;include Best Of The Web, Business.com, MSN BCentral and&lt;br /&gt;Gimpsy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few third tier directories that will help your rankings&lt;br /&gt;in Yahoo and MSN, but these will not boost your Google&lt;br /&gt;search engine rankings. I suggest you submit to a few of&lt;br /&gt;these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can write your way using articles to the top of search&lt;br /&gt;engines. Submit your polished article to the article&lt;br /&gt;directories and get good quality back links. Make sure that&lt;br /&gt;you place your anchor text in the title of your link for&lt;br /&gt;your keywords. You can write a good article with the&lt;br /&gt;following tips. Think of an attention grabbing headline,&lt;br /&gt;write your introduction and conclusion first, list your&lt;br /&gt;main points of your articles with bullet points and expand&lt;br /&gt;on these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a search on Google for the top websites for your related&lt;br /&gt;niche and get the top 50 websites linking to you excluding&lt;br /&gt;your competitors. Topical links will boost your search&lt;br /&gt;engine rankings while unrelated links will not help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a newsworthy press release to obtain free publicity and&lt;br /&gt;get good quality links pointing to your website. Include&lt;br /&gt;your anchor text for your keywords in your link to your&lt;br /&gt;website, follow the press release format and avoid sales&lt;br /&gt;and promotion. Based on my research PRweb comes highly&lt;br /&gt;recommended as a paid option while pr.com, prleap.com and&lt;br /&gt;free-press-release.com comes recommended as good free&lt;br /&gt;options.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you start doing the above activities on a daily basis&lt;br /&gt;your search engine rankings will improve. Search engine&lt;br /&gt;optimization takes at least 6 months for a new site before&lt;br /&gt;you start seeing good results. Usually you see results much&lt;br /&gt;quicker in MSN and Yahoo, but Google takes much longer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEO Elite - this program is the father of all the SEO tools: if you finally want to master search engine optimization, then this is the system for you.

Follow these tips and substantially boost your&lt;br /&gt;Google Adwords results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before your visitor will read the advert you need to create&lt;br /&gt;an attention grabbing headline. Ensure there are keywords&lt;br /&gt;in the headline as Google highlights this and will bring&lt;br /&gt;attention to the headline and improve your click through&lt;br /&gt;rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the headline you need to create an advert that&lt;br /&gt;appeals to your visitor. Focus on the benefits of your&lt;br /&gt;product as this will stir up emotion in your user to click&lt;br /&gt;through to your website and refrain from exaggerating your&lt;br /&gt;product with unbelievable claims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to split test at least 3 adverts at a time to see&lt;br /&gt;which advert performs best. Using this technique I&lt;br /&gt;increased the click through rate of an advert from 0.2% to&lt;br /&gt;8.5%. Try different headlines and different copy. The&lt;br /&gt;higher your click through rate the lower you Google ppc&lt;br /&gt;costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to display your url as www.MyWebSite.com. Start&lt;br /&gt;each new word with a capital and this will significantly&lt;br /&gt;improve your click through rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should use the Google tracking tools or you can use&lt;br /&gt;some of the more advanced tools from other vendors like&lt;br /&gt;Hypertracker. You need to ensure your sales page or lead&lt;br /&gt;generation page converts. Work out how much it costs to&lt;br /&gt;make a sale. So say for example you are paying 30 cents a&lt;br /&gt;click and you are converting 1 out of every 20 visitors.&lt;br /&gt;This means you need to spend 6 dollars before making a&lt;br /&gt;sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your site consists mainly of lead generation pages with&lt;br /&gt;hardly any content you may experience the "Google Slap"&lt;br /&gt;with lower rankings and higher bid prices. Google defines&lt;br /&gt;this as “A value placed on an individual domain that&lt;br /&gt;reflects the quality of the content contained within it.”&lt;br /&gt;The following tips will help increase your quality score in&lt;br /&gt;Google. Add a contact us and a privacy policy page. Build a&lt;br /&gt;sitemap and get a few good quality links pointing into your&lt;br /&gt;website. Include more content on your website and you can&lt;br /&gt;also start a blog. Google loves blogs and this will raise&lt;br /&gt;your Google quality score. Place a link in your blog to&lt;br /&gt;your main lead generation pages and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the information here you can successfully use Google&lt;br /&gt;Adwords to grow your business and add it to your marketing&lt;br /&gt;arsenal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://truckmilln.adwordo.hop.clickbank.net"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.adwordskiller.com/aff/banner2.gif" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/google+adwords+promotion" rel="tag"&gt;google adwords promotion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula&lt;br /&gt;for building profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with &lt;br /&gt;secrets to generate multiple streams of internet&lt;br /&gt;income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/02/google-adwords-promotion-secrets-that.html' title='Google Adwords Promotion Secrets That Will Explode Your Income'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=4242284927007642604' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/4242284927007642604'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/4242284927007642604'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-664102057791288532</id><published>2007-01-30T08:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-12T09:46:18.510-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waystomakemoneyonline'/><title type='text'>Ways To Make Money Online And Earn Your First $1000</title><content type='html'>=============================================&lt;br /&gt;Ways To Make Money Online And Earn Your First $1000&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first started my online business I purchased several internet marketing courses from the so called gurus and attempted three or four ideas at the same time. I wanted to spread my risk with three or four good ideas so that at least one would work out. I experienced information overload and could not get any of my ideas to work. Usually only experienced internet marketers can cope with working on two or more ideas at the same time. You can compare a person new to internet marketing to that of a baby where they first need to learn how to crawl before they can walk. For this reason they need to focus on one idea for at least 6 months where they can learn the fundamentals which never change. The skills that you learn for example how to register a domain and setup your website, keyword research, write good preselling content, write high converting sales pages and how to capture leads and market to them forms part of the core internet marketing skills. You need to learn how to master these basic skills before you can move on to another idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would recommend a person new to internet marketing to get started with affiliate marketing. You do not need to create or stock a product, you do not need to deal with complicated payment processors, you do not need to spend extra time on support or processing refunds and you still get to learn the fundamentals of internet marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get two kinds of affiliate marketing Pay-Per-Lead offers and Pay-Per-Sale Affiliate. When someone takes a specific action you earn a commission for Pay-Per-Lead marketing. You earn commission for sending someone to signup for a trial offer e.g. tea sample or they could request free information like a quote for car insurance from a freebies website. The lead gets free information or a sample of a product and you get paid for generating the lead. Pay-Per-Sale affiliate marketing where you presell before your visitor goes to a sales page takes more work than getting a lead to take a specific action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay-Per-Sale affiliate marketing happens when a visitor that you refer purchases a product and you receive commission for that sale. You need to focus on a niche. For example if you promote weight loss products only offer affiliate programs related to that. Also choose a well established merchant that will not go out of business and choose high quality products that you would use sold at a competitive price. You also need to ensure that in your sales funnel you send your visitors to your own lead generating pages before you refer your visitor to the merchant. This allows you to presell your prospect and sell to them over and over again with different products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you enjoy writing then start a blog. Signup with a free service like Blogger that takes care of all the technology side of things like updating pages, ftp, html, sitemaps etc... Write quality original content. However, I recommend registering your own domain and signup for your own web hosting to publish your blog to. If you decide to choose the free Blogger hosted blog and you migrate to your own domain once you become well established this will cause you to lose your search engine rankings and force you to start from scratch again. Choose a niche topic like product reviews of digital cameras, add some good quality affiliate programs and contextual advertising like Google Adsense to monetize your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose only one idea and focus on this for at least six months and set the foundations of a stable business. Consistency will allow you to build up your name and as your competitors come and go people will trust you even more. This takes focus and patience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://truckmilln.richjerk.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.secretaffiliatetips.com/the_rich_jerk_banner.gif" alt="Rich Jerk" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/ways+to+make+money+online" rel="tag"&gt;ways to make money online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula for building&lt;br /&gt;profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with secrets&lt;br /&gt;to generate multiple streams of internet income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/01/ways-to-make-money-online-and-generate.html' title='Ways To Make Money Online And Earn Your First $1000'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=664102057791288532' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/664102057791288532'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/664102057791288532'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-8362015556240305324</id><published>2007-01-23T01:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-12T09:27:59.315-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='makemoneywithGoogleAdsense'/><title type='text'>How To Make Money With Google Adsense And Flood Your Bank Account With Instant Cash</title><content type='html'>=============================================&lt;br /&gt;How To Make Money With Google Adsense And Flood&lt;br /&gt;Your Bank Account With Instant Cash&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first started out on Google Adsense I could barely&lt;br /&gt;make a few dollars a day. My website received a lot of&lt;br /&gt;traffic and believed that I needed to build hundreds or&lt;br /&gt;thousands of websites to earn a significant income. The&lt;br /&gt;following tips are tried and tested. Use these wisely and&lt;br /&gt;you will see your Adsense income significantly increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the layout the most important consideration to make&lt;br /&gt;when designing your website. Get this wrong and leave&lt;br /&gt;thousands of dollars on the table. The 336X220 unit&lt;br /&gt;performed the best for me because it resembles content on a&lt;br /&gt;website. I also found the best area to place your adverts&lt;br /&gt;below your top menu bar. This blends in with the website&lt;br /&gt;and having this near the top of the page increases the&lt;br /&gt;click through rate without making the advertising too&lt;br /&gt;obtrusive. If you place your advert near the bottom less&lt;br /&gt;people will see it and this will reduce your click through&lt;br /&gt;rate.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the color scheme the second most important aspect&lt;br /&gt;of Google Adsense. You need to make your adverts look like&lt;br /&gt;content. Use a white background on your website and let&lt;br /&gt;your adverts also use a white back ground and blue as the&lt;br /&gt;color representing the text link. This works well as it&lt;br /&gt;makes the advert look like content and does not look like&lt;br /&gt;an advert. Blue works very well to represent a link because&lt;br /&gt;internet users are used to seeing blue as the default&lt;br /&gt;color of a link in a html page. Also remember to make the&lt;br /&gt;url at the bottom black as well so as not to detract your&lt;br /&gt;user's attention from clicking the link text.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google link units can help you to earn extra money for&lt;br /&gt;topics related to your theme. Locate these link units in&lt;br /&gt;your menu scheme and blend the colors so that they look&lt;br /&gt;part of your navigation system. This makes them not look&lt;br /&gt;like an advert and improves the click through rate&lt;br /&gt;substantially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest using Wordtracker to do your keyword research. I&lt;br /&gt;started optimizing one keyword everyday for the less&lt;br /&gt;competitive terms and within a few months doubled the&lt;br /&gt;traffic on my website. Basically find keywords with not too&lt;br /&gt;much competition and make sure that the content on your&lt;br /&gt;page matches. Optimize the Title and Heading and use the&lt;br /&gt;keyword 2 to 3 times in your body near the beginning and&lt;br /&gt;near the end of your page. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Build fully automated websites that users can upload&lt;br /&gt;content. Users' on my website created hundreds and&lt;br /&gt;thousands of pages for me saving me hundreds&lt;br /&gt;of hours to create content myself. Search engines spidered&lt;br /&gt;and indexed these pages. The more content uploaded by users&lt;br /&gt;meant more traffic and this meant more money from Google&lt;br /&gt;Adsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capture your visitor's email address when they visit your&lt;br /&gt;website. This will give you the opportunity to send them&lt;br /&gt;emails over and over redirecting to specific Adsense pages&lt;br /&gt;and increase your income. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A picture directly positioned above your advert draws&lt;br /&gt;attention to it. Exercise caution here and not put any&lt;br /&gt;misleading pictures up due to this being against Google's&lt;br /&gt;terms of service if your user clicks on an advert because&lt;br /&gt;it looks related to your picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use this Adsense code for more accurate content&lt;br /&gt;targeting on pages on your website getting untargeted&lt;br /&gt;adverts. You need to ensure at least 20% of your content&lt;br /&gt;exists in between the tags for Google to interpret the&lt;br /&gt;content correctly and show matching adverts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Place your most important content between the following tags:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;lt;!-- google_ad_section_start --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will help Adsense to target your adverts to the most&lt;br /&gt;important content without getting confused on the unrelated&lt;br /&gt;content on your web page. However, make sure you put&lt;br /&gt;sufficient important content between the tags otherwise&lt;br /&gt;your adverts may not match your content and it can take up &lt;br /&gt;to two weeks for this to come into effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Build tens or hundreds of websites and apply the Google&lt;br /&gt;Adsense advice here and make thousands or tens of thousands&lt;br /&gt;of dollars from your Google Adsense income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://truckmilln.htmlindex.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"&gt;Watch thesee videos of how Michael Cheney earns over $19,000 a month from Adsense - Click Here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/make+money+with+google+adsense" rel="tag"&gt;make money with google adsense&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula for building&lt;br /&gt;profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with secrets&lt;br /&gt;to generate multiple streams of internet income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/01/how-to-make-money-with-google-adsense.html' title='How To Make Money With Google Adsense And Flood Your Bank Account With Instant Cash'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=8362015556240305324' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8362015556240305324'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8362015556240305324'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-5886323957776630553</id><published>2007-01-14T10:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-12T09:24:15.086-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='profitableaffiliateprogram'/><title type='text'>The Secret Of Choosing A Profitable Affiliate Program</title><content type='html'>=============================================&lt;br /&gt;The Secret Of Choosing A Profitable Affiliate Program&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you struggle to choose an affiliate program for your&lt;br /&gt;website. This picture reminds me of myself after building a&lt;br /&gt;website and driving traffic to the website only to find out&lt;br /&gt;that I cannot monetize the traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learnt the steps of creating html pages, optimizing the&lt;br /&gt;websites for search engines and driving tons of traffic to&lt;br /&gt;the website, but I could not monetize my traffic. I tried&lt;br /&gt;numerous things. I put different affiliate links tried&lt;br /&gt;positioning the links in different places. I tried&lt;br /&gt;different font sizes and popup windows. I thought that the&lt;br /&gt;affiliate programs that I tried just did not convert and&lt;br /&gt;just did not know what to do next. I could build websites&lt;br /&gt;and drive traffic to them but I could not monetize my&lt;br /&gt;traffic. I nearly quit and my dreams of becoming an online&lt;br /&gt;entrepreneur almost completely shattered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day I almost gave up my internet business up when I&lt;br /&gt;decided that I would find a way that works and monetize my&lt;br /&gt;traffic.  I sat and brainstormed ideas. Suddenly the&lt;br /&gt;solution appeared in my head. I needed to ask my visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example of how to do it with the exact steps required&lt;br /&gt;follows next. Use an opt in form on your website where you&lt;br /&gt;offer your visitor some kind of free newsletter or course&lt;br /&gt;or download. On your first or second email to your&lt;br /&gt;newsletter subscriber you simply need to ask them what&lt;br /&gt;products will suit them best. Send your newsletter&lt;br /&gt;subscriber an email like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject: [[firstname]], Thank You&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi [[firstname]]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to introduce myself. I run the website&lt;br /&gt;[[yourwebsite]]. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the interest of serving my visitor's need better I would&lt;br /&gt;like to know your most important concern of affiliate&lt;br /&gt;marketing? Can you please take 30 seconds to reply to this&lt;br /&gt;email so that I can develop products and services that will&lt;br /&gt;help to serve you better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind Regards [[Yourname]] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After obtaining the necessary information from your email&lt;br /&gt;you need to select the affiliate program that you will use&lt;br /&gt;on your website. You can use Clickbank and Commission&lt;br /&gt;Junction to look for a reputable affiliate program. You need to&lt;br /&gt;ensure that a significant portion of their income must come&lt;br /&gt;from their affiliates which will mean that the affiliate&lt;br /&gt;program converts and it should also pay at least 50%&lt;br /&gt;commission so that you can earn decent commissions. Finally&lt;br /&gt;try to use a fairly well established company to ensure that&lt;br /&gt;it will not easily go out of business and you will not lose&lt;br /&gt;your affiliate commissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After making your list of top affiliate programs I suggest&lt;br /&gt;testing the links on your website and choose the best&lt;br /&gt;performing affiliate program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using these steps you can pick a highly profitable&lt;br /&gt;affiliate program that will bring you profits for years to&lt;br /&gt;come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.secretaffiliatetips.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.secretaffiliatetips.com/smallbanner.gif" alt="Secret Affiliate Weapon" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/make+money+with+affiliate+program" rel="tag"&gt;make money with affiliate program&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do some people know the magic formula for building&lt;br /&gt;profitable sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Abrahams has created the ultimate blog with secrets&lt;br /&gt;to generate multiple streams of internet income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE Details:&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reprint Guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Attn Ezine Editors/Site Owners **&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave&lt;br /&gt;all links in place, do not modify the content and&lt;br /&gt;include our resource box as listed above</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2007/01/secret-of-choosing-profitable-affiliate.html' title='The Secret Of Choosing A Profitable Affiliate Program'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=5886323957776630553' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/5886323957776630553'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/5886323957776630553'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-5902008541586996624</id><published>2006-12-24T00:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-27T10:12:32.578-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='choosing a profitable niche'/><title type='text'>How To Choose A Highly Profitable Niche - Even In A Downward Economy</title><content type='html'>=============================================&lt;br /&gt;How To Choose A Highly Profitable Niche - Even In A Downward&lt;br /&gt;Economy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- by Mark Abrahams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) Mark Abrahams - All Rights Reserved&lt;br /&gt;http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com&lt;br /&gt;==============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visualize building a website targeting the wrong niche only&lt;br /&gt;to find out after months of search engine optimization and&lt;br /&gt;internet marketing that your idea may be too general and&lt;br /&gt;rarely holds the interest of your visitors and makes it&lt;br /&gt;hard to earn money after spending hundreds of hours of your&lt;br /&gt;own time. What a nightmare!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well this was me a couple of years ago. I created several&lt;br /&gt;websites and spent hundreds of hours of my own time and&lt;br /&gt;hired programmers to create scripts for credit card&lt;br /&gt;processing. Only to find out I could not make any money.&lt;br /&gt;None of my visitors purchased my products and I felt&lt;br /&gt;completely lost in the internet jungle. With all the hype&lt;br /&gt;of making money on the internet and after spending&lt;br /&gt;thousands of dollars buying training material from so&lt;br /&gt;called internet guru's I still could not get it right. What&lt;br /&gt;did I miss? Does this sound familiar to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally by trying lots of different ideas I magically hit&lt;br /&gt;the correct formula. I built a very popular website on&lt;br /&gt;trucks and to date earned over $70,000 from this. How did I&lt;br /&gt;accidentally discover this success? I tried building more&lt;br /&gt;websites only to fail again. Did I just get lucky? Could I&lt;br /&gt;duplicate my success again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people underestimate the importance of getting this&lt;br /&gt;first step of choosing the correct idea when first starting&lt;br /&gt;a website. Only to find out months later that their idea&lt;br /&gt;cannot make money. After months of researching I finally&lt;br /&gt;discovered the magic formula of long tail marketing i.e&lt;br /&gt;profitable niche markets. When you understand this process&lt;br /&gt;completely you can duplicate your success every time you&lt;br /&gt;build a website and save yourself countless hours of wasted&lt;br /&gt;emotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brainstorm some ideas on paper. Find topics that interest&lt;br /&gt;you like fashion, gardening or fish to name a few examples.&lt;br /&gt;If you can't think of any ideas look at the newspaper,&lt;br /&gt;shops in malls, yellow pages, tv or do a search in Google&lt;br /&gt;for general ideas. Don't worry about your keyword research&lt;br /&gt;yet. At this stage you would like to find a unique angle on&lt;br /&gt;your chosen idea. You want to give your visitors a&lt;br /&gt;compelling reason to visit your website and return.&lt;br /&gt;Preferably choose an idea that you already know a lot&lt;br /&gt;about. If you choose an idea that you are not familiar with&lt;br /&gt;you will be forced to hire professionals on Elance or&lt;br /&gt;similar websites to create content for you. Unless you&lt;br /&gt;already making significant money I do not recommend doing&lt;br /&gt;this. Rather keep your costs low when you first start out&lt;br /&gt;and create the content yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you found a good idea (examples swordfish, organic&lt;br /&gt;gardening, bonsai trees) you need to do your keyword&lt;br /&gt;research. The importance here being that you would like to&lt;br /&gt;build a website that gets significant free search engine&lt;br /&gt;traffic from your chosen keywords but at the same time not&lt;br /&gt;too competitive. You can use the Overture Inventory Tool.&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion a profitable niche keyword searched 15,000 to&lt;br /&gt;45,000 times a month with virtually no competition rates as&lt;br /&gt;the best keyword to use. You can also use the Wordtracker&lt;br /&gt;tool to check the competition on the keywords. You can&lt;br /&gt;check the amount of ppc adverts on Google and once you&lt;br /&gt;discover a keyword with virtually no competition will&lt;br /&gt;become your goldmine. You also need to look for similar&lt;br /&gt;keywords related to your theme that you can build your&lt;br /&gt;website around. Say for example if you chose truck&lt;br /&gt;bed liners as your profitable niche keyword you can also&lt;br /&gt;create content on keywords related to this like spray on&lt;br /&gt;bed truck liner, pickup truck bed liner, rhino truck bed&lt;br /&gt;liner etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After choosing your keywords you need to create your&lt;br /&gt;content and monetize your traffic using contextual&lt;br /&gt;advertising like Google Adsense, affiliate links or by&lt;br /&gt;creating and sourcing your own products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to test your completed website with ppc marketing.&lt;br /&gt;You can use Google Adwords and do an initial test and send&lt;br /&gt;200 visitors to your website to see if the traffic converts&lt;br /&gt;into money. If not you need to improve your sales pages or&lt;br /&gt;layout to improve your conversion statistics. Once&lt;br /&gt;satisfied with your conversion and that you can monetize&lt;br /&gt;your traffic you can start on your search engine&lt;br /&gt;optimization process that will take at least 6 months and&lt;br /&gt;years of consistent white hat optimisation. After&lt;br /&gt;completing this step you will generate cash with free&lt;br /&gt;search engine traffic for years to come.

Not because I wasn't trying to model successful&lt;br /&gt;businesses, but because there simply weren't businesses&lt;br /&gt;online to model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(In 1996, I was among the first handful of people to&lt;br /&gt;actually start selling products over the Internet.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I gathered as much information as I could from successful&lt;br /&gt;offline marketing experts like Jay Abraham and Gary Halbert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The challenge, though, was adjusting their techniques to&lt;br /&gt;work in the *online* world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure it will come as no surprise that many of the&lt;br /&gt;techniques used to market and sell in the "real world"&lt;br /&gt;either...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Didn't work at all on the Internet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) Needed to be seriously adjusted, tested, tweaked, and&lt;br /&gt;adjusted some more to really get results online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point that I'm trying to make here is that it literally&lt;br /&gt;took me years of testing and hundreds of thousands of&lt;br /&gt;dollars to discover the same techniques that you'll now see&lt;br /&gt;commonly used online today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, there is no reason for things to be nearly this&lt;br /&gt;difficult for you. Today, modeling the Internet "successes"&lt;br /&gt;is relatively easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Though, be careful that you separate the phonies and fakes&lt;br /&gt;from the "true experts" -- look for those who honestly&lt;br /&gt;practice what they preach and who can prove it!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest investment that you'll need&lt;br /&gt;to make is your time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're interested in long-term, life-changing success,&lt;br /&gt;then a few extra days of reading and researching shouldn't&lt;br /&gt;matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the success of your business that we're talking about&lt;br /&gt;here, so don't make the fatal mistake of thinking that&lt;br /&gt;you're "wasting time." Remember that what you learn today&lt;br /&gt;could be the technique or strategy that saves you not only&lt;br /&gt;wasted time and effort, but thousands of dollars in "could&lt;br /&gt;have been" profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's an extremely simple concept, but it's really one of the&lt;br /&gt;key ideas I teach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS BY MODELING THE SUCCESSFUL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that said, I have decided to conclude this final&lt;br /&gt;lesson of the "Internet Wealth Secrets" course with&lt;br /&gt;something extra special...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the sooner you can take advantage of what you are&lt;br /&gt;about to learn, the sooner you will be able to EXPLODE YOUR&lt;br /&gt;BUSINESS using proven money-making strategies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is your opportunity to see me revealing over 4 hours of&lt;br /&gt;my most profitable marketing strategies -- OVER 240 MINUTES&lt;br /&gt;OF KILLER INFORMATION that you can begin applying to your&lt;br /&gt;e-business right away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is cutting-edge information that cannot be found&lt;br /&gt;anywhere else -- not in courses, not in classes, not in e-&lt;br /&gt;zines, not anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMPORTANT NOTE: The Internet marketing strategies that I am&lt;br /&gt;about to reveal are not available anywhere else, unless you&lt;br /&gt;want to pay for personal one-on-one consultation with me at&lt;br /&gt;a rate of $1,280 US per hour... or attend one of my seminars&lt;br /&gt;at $5,000 US a seat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you own a television and a VCR?

Everyone wants to know,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How the heck do I get people to come to my web site?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a good question! So for today's lesson, I've decided&lt;br /&gt;to give you TWO SIMPLE TRAFFIC tricks that you can&lt;br /&gt;start using immediately...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRAFFIC TRICK #1:&lt;br /&gt;Purchase Ad Space In Newsletters And E-zines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beauty of purchasing ad space in online newsletters and&lt;br /&gt;e-zines is that you can TARGET YOUR MARKET WITH&lt;br /&gt;LASER-LIKE PRECISION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online newsletters tend to narrowly focus their content to&lt;br /&gt;meet the needs and capture the loyalty of a very specific&lt;br /&gt;readership, giving you the perfect opportunity to get your&lt;br /&gt;ad in front of your best potential customers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, in order for this type of advertising to work,&lt;br /&gt;you need to be very careful when choosing which newsletters&lt;br /&gt;to purchase ad space in. There are several factors that&lt;br /&gt;should be taken into consideration including:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* WHO ARE THE READERS? Do they fit the profile of your best&lt;br /&gt;potential customer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* HOW MANY SUBSCRIBERS ARE THERE? This question is&lt;br /&gt;important when deciding what you're willing to pay to&lt;br /&gt;advertise in a particular newsletter. Do the math and&lt;br /&gt;figure out what you're paying per subscriber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* WHERE WILL YOUR AD BE PLACED? Will it be at the top of the&lt;br /&gt;newsletter? The middle? The bottom? Will it be surrounded&lt;br /&gt;by other ads?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* HOW BIG CAN YOUR AD BE? Will it only be a few lines of text?&lt;br /&gt;A paragraph? An entire article?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are all factors that should be taken into consideration&lt;br /&gt;when deciding what an ad in a particular newsletter is worth&lt;br /&gt;to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to FIND TARGETED NEWSLETTERS is by surfing&lt;br /&gt;the Web and contacting the sites one by one. If you do this,&lt;br /&gt;you'll likely find a number of excellent newsletters with&lt;br /&gt;a loyal subscriber base that have not yet taken advantage&lt;br /&gt;of their advertising potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are plenty of sites that have developed a strong&lt;br /&gt;relationship with their readers, but that have never offered&lt;br /&gt;advertising before and likely don't know what it's worth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These can be some of THE MOST PROFITABLE NEWSLETTERS to&lt;br /&gt;advertise in! Not only do you get quality advertising at&lt;br /&gt;bargain basement prices, you also get first crack at&lt;br /&gt;advertising to a readership that is "ripe for the picking!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you are not having any luck locating ad space,&lt;br /&gt;then you may wish to search the sites listed below for&lt;br /&gt;newsletters that cater to your industry or niche:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://ezine-universe.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.ezinehub.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.newsletteraccess.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.zdnet.com/filters/email&lt;br /&gt;http://gort.ucsd.edu/newjour&lt;br /&gt;http://www.nwwsubscribe.com/foc36&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRAFFIC TRICK #2:&lt;br /&gt;Secure Links From Related Web Sites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A really effective way to START DRIVING HIGHLY TARGETED&lt;br /&gt;TRAFFIC to your web site is by persuading other related&lt;br /&gt;sites in your industry to link to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, a link is equivalent to a personal recommendation.&lt;br /&gt;A link from another well-respected webmaster ESTABLISHES&lt;br /&gt;YOUR CREDIBILITY even before the visitor reaches your web&lt;br /&gt;site, dramatically increasing the likelihood that they will&lt;br /&gt;buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it... Gary arrives at his favorite web site and&lt;br /&gt;notices that they have posted a link to your site. Gary&lt;br /&gt;knows and trusts his favorite site and therefore assumes&lt;br /&gt;that, because they've linked to you, your business must be&lt;br /&gt;credible too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gary clicks through the link to your web site and is&lt;br /&gt;immediately open to offers you present him with. Why?&lt;br /&gt;Because your credibility was established before he even&lt;br /&gt;arrived at your homepage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But how do you do it? How do you persuade other sites to&lt;br /&gt;point their traffic directly at yours with a link?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, you need to do some research. WHO WOULD YOU&lt;br /&gt;MOST LIKE A LINK FROM? Surf the Net for web sites that deal&lt;br /&gt;directly with your target market and collect the personal&lt;br /&gt;contact information for the web site owners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you call or e-mail them, don't talk about how you'll&lt;br /&gt;benefit, how great you are, or how fantastic your products&lt;br /&gt;are. Focus on showing potential linking partners how&lt;br /&gt;linking to you is going to benefit their visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to talk about "what's in it for them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beauty of this is, once you've secured a link, the site&lt;br /&gt;could very easily FUNNEL TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEB SITE&lt;br /&gt;FOR YEARS TO COME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my Car Secrets Revealed site (http://www.carsecrets.com),&lt;br /&gt;we spent two solid months locating high traffic car sites&lt;br /&gt;and convincing them (by e-mail, phone, and fax) to link to&lt;br /&gt;us. It was hard work, but now these links are generating&lt;br /&gt;OVER 22,000 VISITORS EVERY MONTH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's over 250,000 visitors a year, for years to come. And&lt;br /&gt;all it took was a couple month's hard work. I'm sure you can&lt;br /&gt;imagine the profit we make from 250,000 targeted visitors&lt;br /&gt;per year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, developing a linking strategy that directs a high&lt;br /&gt;volume of targeted traffic to your web site is not an&lt;br /&gt;overnight process. It will take you anywhere from two weeks&lt;br /&gt;to six months to SECURE THE QUALITY LINKS YOU NEED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I promise you that it's worth the effort! Once you&lt;br /&gt;have done the initial footwork, the links that are&lt;br /&gt;established will remain on these sites for years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMPORTANT NOTE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, there are a lot more ways to drive traffic to&lt;br /&gt;your web site than the 2 traffic tricks I've listed here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We haven't even touched on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Search Engines&lt;br /&gt;- Starting Your Own Newsletter&lt;br /&gt;- Viral Marketing&lt;br /&gt;- Press Releases&lt;br /&gt;- Newsgroups&lt;br /&gt;- Classified Ads&lt;br /&gt;- Online Services&lt;br /&gt;- Affiliate Programs&lt;br /&gt;- Joint Ventures&lt;br /&gt;- Banner Advertising&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... and that's just for starters!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you want to discover more of the secrets that I'm using&lt;br /&gt;to attract more than 6,000,000 people to my 4 online businesses&lt;br /&gt;each year, then I highly recommend that you check out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because if you like what I've shared in this short e-mail, you're&lt;br /&gt;going to be SHOCKED by what I reveal there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, stay tuned for Lesson #4 where I'll show you how&lt;br /&gt;you can actively control, direct, and guarantee the success of&lt;br /&gt;your Internet business with one simple strategy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the best,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corey Rudl&lt;br /&gt;Internet Marketing Center&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://truckmilln.chiaewen.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"&gt; "Amazing Secret System Reveals How You Can Easily Generate TONS Of FREE Traffic, Signups And Sales On Complete Autopilot!" - Click Here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/increase+web+site+traffic" rel="tag"&gt;increase web site traffic&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2006/11/simple-traffic-tricks-for-quickly.html' title='Simple Traffic Tricks For Quickly, Easily, And Cheaply Getting Those First Visitors To Your Web Site'/><link rel='related' href='http://www.income-opportunities.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?uid=25748&amp;pn=14' title='Simple Traffic Tricks For Quickly, Easily, And Cheaply Getting Those First Visitors To Your Web Site'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=7356747216410164208' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/7356747216410164208'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/7356747216410164208'/><author><name>Mark Abrahams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11345999612986412182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891085308886595138.post-8123630482081326625</id><published>2006-11-21T14:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-12T08:34:55.038-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Two Most Powerful Ways To Market Your Product Online</title><content type='html'>============================================&lt;br /&gt;Corey Rudl's 4 Lesson's on Internet Business&lt;br /&gt;============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to Lesson #2 of the exclusive "Corey Rudl's 4 Lessons&lt;br /&gt;on Internet Business!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I want to show you two of the MOST POWERFUL techniques&lt;br /&gt;that you can use to market your product or service online!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is referred to as a "portal web site" and the&lt;br /&gt;second is referred to as a "sales web site."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;APPROACH #1:  THE PORTAL WEB SITE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you run a portal web site, your goal is to GET AS&lt;br /&gt;MANY VISITORS TO YOUR WEB SITE AS POSSIBLE by giving them&lt;br /&gt;something special(and often free). You might provide free&lt;br /&gt;tips, content, software, entertainment... there are&lt;br /&gt;countless possibilities!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hotmail.com offers free e-mail, Yahoo! gives away search&lt;br /&gt;information, financial portals provide instant financial&lt;br /&gt;news, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can attract traffic the same way by offering visitors&lt;br /&gt;to your web site something they can't get anywhere else...&lt;br /&gt;and by giving it to them FREE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, once you have high volumes of traffic visiting your&lt;br /&gt;web site each day, you can CONVERT YOUR TRAFFIC INTO COLD&lt;br /&gt;HARD CASH by selling advertising space or offering products&lt;br /&gt;or services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a great way to turn traffic into money, even if&lt;br /&gt;you do not have anything to sell!  The TRAFFIC itself&lt;br /&gt;becomes your ASSET!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;APPROACH #2:  THE SALES WEB SITE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other approach to making money from your web site&lt;br /&gt;involves directly offering a product or service for sale&lt;br /&gt;-- either right away or at some later point in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, you can offer a product or service, or provide&lt;br /&gt;free information designed to lure people to another page where&lt;br /&gt;you have a product available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the most popular way of making money online because:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1) It's easy to do when you use the right techniques.&lt;br /&gt;   2) You can begin making money almost overnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just about everyone decides to set up their web site with the&lt;br /&gt;intention of selling a product or service first, because they do&lt;br /&gt;not have the time and/or the money that is required to develop a&lt;br /&gt;portal web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, there are some pretty significant advantages to&lt;br /&gt;selling a product online!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEVEN PROFITABLE ADVANTAGES TO SELLING A PRODUCT&lt;br /&gt;OR SERVICE ONLINE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 -- 100% HANDS-FREE AUTOMATION! Your online business can&lt;br /&gt;      be easily automated so that it demands very little of&lt;br /&gt;      your time and attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 -- YOU CAN WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE! Be your own boss, make&lt;br /&gt;      your own decisions, and pocket 100% of the profits you&lt;br /&gt;      make instead of running yourself ragged for someone else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 -- LOWER LEAD COSTS! The expense of getting new customers&lt;br /&gt;      is a fraction of what it costs using traditional media.&lt;br /&gt;      (For example, it costs $34,152 for a one-page ad in "Car&lt;br /&gt;      and Driver" magazine -- PER MONTH! Online, it costs you&lt;br /&gt;      nothing!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 -- NO STAFFING COSTS! Your products and services are&lt;br /&gt;      available 24 hours a day without the need for staff&lt;br /&gt;      or a retail location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5 -- ACCESS TO MORE CUSTOMERS! You can attract a broad&lt;br /&gt;      customer base from around the world while spending&lt;br /&gt;      very little on advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#6 -- TEST FOR GUARANTEED SUCCESS! It is easy to learn&lt;br /&gt;      what your customers want... and with this valuable&lt;br /&gt;      information, you can easily MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFITS by&lt;br /&gt;      adjusting your web site to reflect your market's&lt;br /&gt;      interests and needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#7 -- LOW RISK! Testing new ideas, new products, and new&lt;br /&gt;      sales copy costs you virtually nothing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... and the list goes on!  I could literally fill an entire&lt;br /&gt;book with comments like these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But really, the best part is that I NEVER have to be there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     When you sell a product or service online, your&lt;br /&gt;     entire business can run AUTOMATICALLY -- giving&lt;br /&gt;     you 100% hands-freedom to relax on the beach...&lt;br /&gt;     spend more time with your family... or start a&lt;br /&gt;     brand new business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in learning more about how you can&lt;br /&gt;start profiting from either your own Portal or Sales&lt;br /&gt;web site, then I highly recommend checking out...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I reveal techniques and strategies that I could never&lt;br /&gt;fit in this short e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the best,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corey Rudl&lt;br /&gt;Internet Marketing Center&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://truckmilln.richjerk.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.secretaffiliatetips.com/the_rich_jerk_banner.gif" alt="Rich Jerk" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/web+site+promotion+marketing" rel="tag" class="techtag"&gt;web+site+promotion+marketing&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/2006/11/two-most-powerful-ways-to-market-your.html' title='The Two Most Powerful Ways To Market Your Product Online'/><link rel='related' href='http://www.income-opportunities.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?uid=25748&amp;pn=14' title='The Two Most Powerful Ways To Market Your Product Online'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6891085308886595138&amp;postID=8123630482081326625' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.internetaffiliatemarketingsecrets.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/8123630482081326625'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6891085308886595138/posts/default/812363048208132
