Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Why You Need It

March 30, 2009 By: Jody G Category: internet marketing, website promotion

It goes without saying, that the internet has revolutionized the way we live our lives.  I won’t go into how, I think it’s pretty clear, but obviously it has changed the way we do business.  Having said that, many people are striving to merely get noticed on the world wide web.  So how does one go about getting their site past the multitudes of others and be recognized by their target audience?

Search engine optimization – hereon referred to as SEO – aims to help you get more traffic to your site, by aiding it in getting a higher ranking.  A high-ranking site ensures you will be among the top results when using a search engine to find a product.

Two methods exist to help you get recognized by search engines; Pay-per-click advertising is one.  Google Adwords is a perfect example of this.  Here, you can place bids on their ads to be shown when a keyword is searched and is relevant to your site.  Quite simply, the highest bidder gets the higher page ranking.  Some people spend a small fortune on this, but can be worth it if your site has a high conversion rate.

Organic searches is the second technique.  Your site ranking is evaluated by ‘spiders’ which scan sites and gather information about them.  They use the information and pass it on to the search engine, which will list the websites based on ranking determined by the spiders.  It’s important to have good relevant content on your site, or your ranking will be lower.

Do not underestimate the power of search engines, it is one of the fundamental concepts of the internet.  A recent poll revealed that 90% of web surfers use search engines to help them find what they are looking for.  Do you know how to use the Google on the internet machine?

SEO is vital for the success of your website.  It determines the position of your site in relation to your competitors.  It generates traffic from target audiences, but more importantly, it’s a cost-effective way of promoting your website.

Social Networking Vital To Online Success

March 17, 2009 By: Jody G Category: Social Networking, Website Traffic, website promotion

If you operate your own website, and you are trying to make money, then you need to know just how important social networking is.  With literally millions of people subscribing to MySpace and Facebook – just to name a couple – this has become an excellent way to promote your online enterprise.  For those of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, a social network is an online community that gives users the opportunity to chat, share and connect with friends – but maybe more importantly, to connect with other like-minded people who might either be interested in the product or service you’re offering, or even to share ideas and bounce things off each other.  Rest assured, there are people out there who know a lot more than you do about website promotion, writing ad copy, generating traffic, or whatever the obstacle you might be facing.

On these social network sites, you can meet these people by joining groups in whatever area of online business you are trying to master.  It’s been my experience, that everyone is more than willing to offer suggestions, provide you with links, or introduce you to other people who can help.  Having said that, perhaps you’ll be the one helping out someone who is just starting out, and in need of some of your advice or expertise.  The point is, once in, you’ll be exposed to innumerable people and resources that will do nothing but aid you in your quest for online success.  Did I mention that your website would now be exposed to these millions of people?  Hello!  Did I also mention that these sites are FREE to join?  Wow!  It is remarkably simple to create a profile, where, you’ll be able to post a link to your site…free.

If you haven’t researched this yet, get started now.  Social networking is exploding in popularity, and you need to be on the inside.

Making Money Through Affiliate Marketing

March 05, 2009 By: Jody G Category: affiliate marketing, website promotion

Sometimes when affiliate marketing is being offered to you, it may seem to be too good to be true.  Sometimes it is, but sometimes it is not. If you are interested in an online enterprise, then certainly you have heard the claims from the multitude of programs offering the best of the best.

I have done a lot of research, I mean a lot, and I can tell you how to separate the winners and stake your own claim in this growing and potentially profitable industry.

It’s likely they will give you the impression that you don’t have to do anything other than just place a banner ad or two to start seeing more money than you could ever think possible. While this may be true, this comes from those who already have a flourishing site and have built a name for themselves.  For most of us, affiliate marketing requires a little more time and effort.

Wring every drop out your creative juices and post up some original content.  Enough to keep them interested, and most of all, from leaving your site. Some hosting companies can help you with this, and many even do it for you. Having good and unique content will ensure your comfort to offer anything from tiny to big ticket deals. Remember, patience is a virtue in affiliate marketing.

Including a summary describing your product or service can intrigue your readers and excite their interest. This works well, but keep it simple.  Too much information all at once can distract and turn off your readers. Lots of existing affiliate marketing campaigns have already blinded some people with their sales and marketing pitch, and who could blame them?  If you were pummelled by these things daily you would feel the same.  Your summary needs to be simple and should contain a hyperlink to an ad article on your website. With this, you’ll be able to promote your business, and give readers the opportunity to check out other parts of your site.

Again, try to be unique and interesting, and be patient.

Some affiliate marketing strategies that have been successful for you may not be the way to go in other campaigns. It’s worth the effort, but don’t expect the same results every time.

Should you experience ongoing difficulties with your program, you can get in touch with the parent company, and if they’re dedicated to the success of their business, they will assist you in every possible way to guide you in the right direction.

There is one affiliate marketing company that I found to stand out, and that is Shawn Casey’s Gold Affiliate Program.  It’s geared towards ‘newbies’ and has a very simple step-by-step approach.  Remember, I wasn’t able to research ALL affiliate marketing companies – there are far too many – but this one does work for sure.

Google Adsense Broadens the Scope of Internet Marketing

March 04, 2009 By: Jody G Category: internet marketing, website promotion

It has become clear that Google Adsense is dominating the internet marketing business and is presently considered the simplest way to earn money online.

Placing ads on webpages that already receive high traffic volumes for high demand keywords is the key to success with Google Adsense.  The formula is simple; higher cost-per-click to the advertiser equals higher earnings received per click from your website.  Having said that, it evidently does not pay to target lower cost-per-click keywords and then post them up on webpages that don’t receive a significant number of hits.

People are now becoming aware of new techniques on how to optimize their earnings on Adsense, so it comes as little surprise that Google is frequently updating and improving their Adsense interface in order to maintain their already stellar image.  With the number of people now using it, and possibly even more about to,  little doubt remains the Adsense will continue to improve.

There is one money-making feature on Adsense, that is especially useful, and that is the ability to filter out up to 200 url’s, which now gives webmasters the preference to block out lower valued offers from their pages as well as competitors to their sites. So now they can take only the profitable, and discard the ones that are not.  Quality vs. quantity.  Smarter not harder.

The possiblities are endless with Google Adsense, and for now, it is here to stay.  So long as people want to earn an income online.
