Balancing SEO Against The Needs Of Your Article’s Audience

May 2nd, 2008 HunterWaterhouse Posted in Internet | No Comments »

Article marketing continues to be a proven method for generating traffic to our websites and developing good search placement, even after all of these years. I have been reading articles online since 1995, and I continue to read a few dozen articles per week on subjects that are dear to my heart.

Some Claim That Article Marketing Does Not Work

Now and again, I will read a thread in a forum somewhere where somebody claims that article marketing does not work.

Some article-marketing critics will admit that they have only distributed only one or two articles. Well yeah, I can see why article marketing did not work for them - because they did not work at making article marketing profitable for them.

Article marketing is like any other method of advertising. If you don’t make a real investment in it, then you cannot reap great rewards from it.

The Marketing Rule Of Seven

Advertising professionals speak of the “Marketing Rule Of Seven,” which suggests that a consumer must see your marketing message at least seven times before they start to pay attention to your message. The pros also suggest that once seven exposures have been achieved, the consumer will make a subtle, subconscious connection to the advertiser. Recognition brings rewards, in that after seven exposures to an advertisement, consumers will start to feel as if they know enough about the advertiser to trust their sales message.

If television, radio and print advertisers understand that a company’s sales message must be seen or heard at least seven times, then why would you - the Internet marketer - think that you can write a single article and see the full benefit of the medium?

Successful Article Marketing Requires A Commitment To The Reader

All commerce on the Internet is driven by information, such as written sales messages and information about products and services. Some websites also benefit from generic information concerning topics that their potential clients will be interested in reading. For example, if a website sells plumbing supplies, the consumer may find the availability of information about how to remove the old fittings and how to install the new plumbing equipment, as an essential element of their purchase decision.

Article marketing when done correctly will not be a boring, blathering of search engine optimized keywords related to a product or service line.

Article marketing, when done well, will provide information that will be of real interest to the person most likely to buy what you are selling.

For example:

* If you are selling auction services, give the reader tips to help them make more money from the sale of their goods in the auction environment or how a buyer can find a good deal.

* If you are selling auto warranties, tell the reader how to uncover the best value in an auto warranty plan and what features to seek.

* If you are selling resume services, give the reader advice on how to write their own resume.

Article marketing when used well can help a company establish itself as an expert in the field, and it can help show a reader why hiring the author’s service might be better than a do-it-yourself project. As an example, with the resume advice article, once the reader sees how comprehensive your knowledge is and how detailed a resume should be, the reader may just decide that using your resume writing service will be much more productive than the do-it-yourself resume.

Just Like Lawyers, Writers Specialize Too

Beyond the cost of labor, content development is usually the second most expensive expenditure made by the online vendor. It is important to note that just as there are lawyers who specialize in one area of law, there are also ghostwriters who specialize in certain types of content creation.

People who write sales copy are referred to as “copywriters.” Copywriters are people who understand the nuances of how to make people buy what you are selling.

They understand that replacing a single word in the sales copy could mean the difference between lukewarm sales numbers and red-hot sales numbers, and they know which words to change.

Some professional copywriters have a proven track record of writing sales copy that has generated millions of dollars in sales - people such as Frank Kern, Dan Lok, and Joe Vitale. These guys know the value of their copywriting skills, and they charge accordingly. If you ask them to write sales copy for you, don’t be surprised when they quote you a price in the range of $5-20 per written word.

Other writers might specialize in writing books, brochures, and articles. Some writers specialize in the smaller word counts, like the folks who write greeting cards and book jackets.

Finding The Best Writer For Your Needs

The kid down the street who writes part-time for the newspaper may or may not be the best person to write your online articles for you. One reason is that people who write for offline publications seldom appreciate the importance of keywords in an article for search engine marketing purposes.

Note this article for example. Our purpose is to show you how you can use article marketing as a successful marketing tool for your business. We also want to show how the articles should appeal both to the reader and the search engine algorithms.

With these thoughts in mind, when you are finished reading this article, read it a second time to see how many variations on the following SEO keyword phrases can be found in this article: article marketing, search engine marketing, keywords, advertising, content creation, writers and copywriting. Of course, copywriting is not the kind of writing we do, but people who do not understand the specialization of writing skills might type “copywriting” or “copywriters” into their favorite search engine to find someone who writes informational articles.

One never knows precisely what the public will use as their search keywords when they go to the search engine to find information. That is the very reason why a good online article writer must strive to showcase a range of similar keywords within the context of an article.

Your Article Marketing Strategies Influence Your Overall Success

We know that some people tell you that the only reason to write an article is to get a link back to your website. What most of these people don’t tell you is that most websites that accept reprint articles do so, only after a human has reviewed or at least scanned the article.

An article that does not read well will never be published on a top-tier website. Yes, some websites may accept a poorly written article, but more sites will only accept well-written articles.

A reader who is not impressed with your article will seldom reach your resource box, so the link back in the resource box can only give value to your website from the search engines - maybe. The search engines generally only give value to articles on good websites or those placements that have lots of links pointing to the article within the website. Bad articles don’t get published on good websites, and they do not attract links.

As the Marketing Rule Of Seven should indicate, multiple articles generate a long-term wave of new links and potential visitors to your website.

Consistency is also important to a successful article marketing campaign, in that releasing weekly articles will enable your readers to see your marketing message regularly.

Finally, the smart use of a variety of related keyword phrases will strengthen the ability of your article to appeal to the search engines and the people who use them.

If you can balance the needs of your article’s audience against your need for search optimized content, then you can benefit handsomely from your article marketing campaigns.

Affordable Effective SEO

May 2nd, 2008 VeredFunk Posted in Internet | No Comments »

One of the best ways to lead targeted traffic to your website is search engine optimization – SEO. By using SEO marketers can significantly maximize the potential earnings from their websites, because most people approach search engines when they look for information. However SEO can be very costly or at a very low cost, depending on how informed you are in this field of knowledge.

To save you a lot of money, you should know – before doing anything about SEO – that you can get a lot of information about low cost search engine optimization in the internet. That includes this article and many others. Here are some advises on how you can improve your SEO without spending much.

1. Exchanging Links

One of the low cost SEO strategies that can get you very beneficial results is exchanging links with other websites. Search engines like to see your website linked to other websites. If other websites point to yours the search engine will rank you higher. That is true especially if the websites pointing to yours are ranked high on your keywords. So that is an easy and surprisingly effective way of improving your ranking as well as increasing the traffic flow to your website, through search engines and through other websites alike. This tactic can cost you a little or nothing at all. The cost will depend on the website with which you would like to exchange links. In order to exchange links you should choose websites you want to exchange links with – preferably from the leading websites on your keyword – and approach the owners of the websites to ask for an exchange of links.

2. Writing articles rich with your website key words

Another way to increase your search engine ranking is by writing articles that are related to your website subject, and are really helpful and inspiring (not just meant to sell stuff). Make sure that your key words appear in the articles but just in a natural way, not excessively, and place them in your website. If your articles will be interesting and the information in them useful, visitors will keep coming. If you don’t feel expert enough for writing you can use ghost writers or use article written by others, as long as you include the author’s resource box (or information).

3. Choosing a catchy name as your domain name

You can make sure that your potential customers remember your website by using a domain name that will be easy to recall. An easy name to recall should be not too long, may have some kind of twist to make it special and should be strongly related to the subject of your website. A name containing your website key words will do well both for your visitors’ memory and for search engines. Of course, you will have to pay to register your domain name, but your creativity is free.

4. Organize your website in a way that it will be easy to navigate.

Just as at home you know what is where, making a clear and easy navigation inside your website will make your website visitors feel at home. Therefore it is important to organize your website navigation in an easy and very understandable way, especially if it is complex. If visitors will find easily interesting and useful information in your website, they will keep coming back.

Making clear navigation is not only important for visitors but also for your website ranking. Link your different web pages, using your keyword within the links. That will make it easy, not only for your visitors but also for search engines, to follow your content.

Of course there are different methods to improve your ranking on search engines, and this is a growing field as anything else in the world of information and technology. If you choose SEO as your main way of advertising, you may consider hiring professionals to do the work for you, but even if your budget is not allowing you to hire such services, as you could see, you still can do something to improve your search engine ranking.

Home Based Business Leadership - Managing Yourself And Your Success

May 2nd, 2008 DavidOgden Posted in Leadership | No Comments »

Home based jobs are really no different than any other job when is comes to managing. When you “manage” anything, it really comes down to three critical items:

- Setting direction, goals and objectives

- Finding and applying the necessary resources to the task

- Getting results

In your current career, you probably understand Leadership as it applies to your job. What may not be so obvious is how this also applies to managing home based jobs.

You must be able to set clear goals and objectives for yourself, and for your daily, weekly and monthly tasks. You must find the right resources to help yourself “do the job.” And you must monitor your own progress, make corrections as necessary and get results.

Let’s start by setting clear goals and objectives.

- Do you have a business plan?

- Have you created and prioritized the action items you must complete in order to reach your goals?

- Do you have a daily and weekly agenda for your action items?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then it’s time to stop and complete a written plan for these items. It’s all about planning your work, and then working your plan.

Don’t forget that any job, including work at home jobs must be balanced with your life. Because it’s your own business, many people forget this important point. Don’t forget this or you will burn out even faster than people working as employees! Remember, employees get regular paychecks, and business owners get paid when the business is doing well. This means you need balance more than ever in a home based business.

You must balance your home business tasks with your life, and give yourself time to relax, reflect and spend time doing things for yourself and your family. When you get back to the job, you will be much more productive and efficient. Lack of balance will lead to stress and burn-out, just like it will in a job working for someone else.

Next, you need to find resources to help you accomplish the required tasks for your business. In home based jobs, it is critical to look for resources that you can use to “outsource” many routine functions. Unless you start your home business by hiring employees, your own time is your most valuable and limited resource. Find ways to outsource as many tasks as possible. Make sure your resource provider also offers you the ability to monitor progress and results of those tasks.

Finally, you must monitor your progress against your goals and objectives. Hold yourself accountable to the deadlines you have set, that’s what your daily and weekly planner is for. Start each day by using your agenda to review the days and weeks action items ahead and adjusting your schedule to make sure all critical items are completed.

As your business grows, and you accomplish your short term goals, you must also keep setting new goals and objectives and continue the process. Remember, no business plan is ever finished.

Home based jobs are like any business, you must continuously refine and re-set your business goals and objectives for the future. This is a process, and you need to build your habits and your actions into this process.

David Ogden is an established online marketer who specializes in practice website tools and advice that help many people start their very own home based business. He can help you launch your very own money making website today that’s 100% ready to take orders and pull in massive profits for you right now … guaranteed!

Does Your Small Home Business Have A Blog?

May 2nd, 2008 K.Faram Posted in Internet | No Comments »

When it comes to running a small home business, it is vital you use anything that can give you an upper hand in the marketing game. As the internet continues to grow, it is becoming extremely competitive. And one way you can give yourself a slight edge is by creating your own blog.

Having a blog can benefit your business at home a number of ways. Not only can you make a great deal of money directly through the blog with advertising and so on, but you can also use it to promote your web site and meet new people. Networking and social marketing is huge when it comes to having success online.

The great thing about having a blog is it allows you to socialize and meet new people. Instead of visitors feeling pressured to purchase something off of your web site, they can offer opinions and talk to you as another person. They can even ask questions and you can respond, so while you can certainly make money off of your blog, you want to use it more as a way to open up and show people your true side.

Building relationships through your blog is a great way to gain customers in the future. The more time you take to post in your blog and offer enticing information, the more people will connect with you. And as people connect with you, they will gradually begin to trust you over your competitors. This trust will result in sales and more importantly in referrals.

As mentioned, there are several ways you can make money off of your blog as well. The first method is to sell advertising. If you have a blog that receives a lot of traffic, you can actually sell your own advertising space. Otherwise, places like Google AdSense and BlogAds can help you make money off of advertising.

Affiliate programs are another great way to make money off of your blog. All you have to do is plop a banner or affiliate link somewhere on your blog and watch as people click on the links. You can then even talk about the programs in certain posts to draw attention to the banners and links.

Aside from making money directly off of your blog, there are several ways to use your blog to better your small home business. Simple things like referencing a new product you have or special deals that are going on can help. Also, just displaying your expertise on various topics can be enough to catch the attention of visitors and get them to go check out your web site.

The fact of the matter is your business at home needs to have a blog. You can build relationships, display your expertise, sell your web site, and even make money directly off of the blog. And that is just the tip of the iceberg for what kind of effect it will have on your business.

Low Cost Internet Marketing Solutions

May 2nd, 2008 VeredFunk Posted in Internet | No Comments »

Thanks to Internet this world became an enterprise which is open for all, and as a result it has become very important and often necessary for businesses to further expand their consumer targets and their services to the online market. It is certainly so for home based businesses. Nevertheless, internet marketing may become a financial risk or a time consuming effort for people who wish to become involved with it, but don’t know how to use it efficiently.

When you market a product it is important for you to ensure that most of your target consumers will actually purchase it. Therefore it is important that you consider what the best products that can definitely capture your customers’ needs and interests are. It means that you should recognize specifically who are your target consumers, their needs, their financial possibilities and their willingness to spend for the type of products or services that you offer. Use your knowledge and skill of marketing to reach your goals through the internet.

If you have your own product or service to offer online, and especially if you own a home based business, it would be necessary for you to have your own website, or at least a webpage to present your product or service. This is an important promotional strategy to use since it enables you to display for your target consumers all the necessary information about your products. The website should be able to both capture their interest as well as enable whatever may be necessary for completing a transaction – from initial inquiry up to payment, and including customer support.

There are some free ways to setup your website by yourself, and even some successful internet marketers used them in their beginning days, but unless you don’t have any other choice, it is better to have professionals make your website for you, otherwise you may find yourself wasting much of your precious time and ending up with a non-professional, malfunctioning website, that will serve to give a negative impression to your potential customers. Especially if you own a home based business, and your main communication with your customers is online, that could be destructive. If your budget is minimal, you can find very low cost offers from host companies, which will provide you with basic but efficient website.

Once you have a website, you can use varied internet marketing solutions that are being offered by companies off and online. Such marketing solutions can serve as an instrument for reaching and supporting your consumers. Two of the most economical solutions are email marketing and search engine optimization. These are low cost techniques since they can be learned easily by anyone.

Email marketing is a very common and most cost effective marketing method. It is an effective way of communicating with your customers. With this method you can drive your potential customers to visit your website and inform them of any new product or service that you want to offer. You can offer to your website visitors the possibility to sign up for a newsletter, and thus add them to your mailing list. In this way you can expand your customers, and potential customers list as more and more people sign up for your newsletter and receive your emails.

SEO – search engine optimization is another internet marketing solution. This is a type of service for your website that can be used in order to raise the number of visitors to your site, by improving the rank of your website on search engines. When a potential customer uses a search engine to look for a product that you’re marketing, your website will rank higher in the search list and that will increase your site’s targeted traffic, and consequently your sales.

There are different companies offering informational products, services and software containing one or both of these marketing solutions. Some of these companies offer even free products. It would be a great opportunity to check and find products which will fit your financial possibilities and your expected profits.

Low Cost Advanced Tactics For Increasing Your Website Traffic

May 2nd, 2008 VeredFunk Posted in Internet | No Comments »

The term “advanced tactics” may sound intimidating for a non experienced marketer. But here are some low cost advanced tactics to lead traffic to your website. Employing them, you have little to loose, and a lot to gain, because these tactics may bring your success.

So let us see what the tactics that we talk about are. You may be surprised to find out that some of these advanced tactics for website traffic will cost you nothing.

1. Writing articles

The idea is to write an article on the subject of your website, mention your website and submit it to e-zines of relevant subjects and enjoy the traffic of curios readers. You can and should post your article anywhere you can on the internet – e-zines and article directories – anywhere you can get it published along with your details and the link to your website.

Now if you are not a real expert on the subject of your website you may think it is impossible for you to write an article. What I would suggest in such a case is to look for articles on your niches subject, take a few that are focused on the same aspect and re-write them into one article that blends and summarizes the information from the different sources. In this way you will be presenting a new article of your own – a summary of what you’ve learned from the articles you’ve read. Thus you gain both an article to publish as well as deeper knowledge of the subject of your niche.

2. Exchanging links

This tactic is very powerful. It is an advanced web traffic technique that people tend to underestimate. It is useful in two ways: first and more obvious, is that you can get traffic from the website where your link is placed, but the other benefit is that search engines rank you website higher if your link appears in other websites. The more the other websites are popular on your same keywords the better your website will be ranked. Therefore if you want to know who to exchange link with, just type the keywords or your website into one (or more) of the important search engines and approach all the websites that are on the top of the list.

3. Participating in forums

Here again, this is a totally free tactic from which you can benefit in different ways. First of all you should look for forums that are related to the subject of your website. By actively participating in such forums you can make your presence and that of your website known to a whole community of people with common interests. If you’re an expert on the subject of your niche that will show and people will be interested to visit your website and see what you have to offer. If you’re not an expert, participating in forums, asking your questions and getting answers will eventually turn you into expert. In addition most of the forum managers will allow you to have a link to your website at your signature, and even if you will have no other benefit, your active participation will give you many links to your website from other related websites. That is an opportunity that should not be missed. But remember, the more your participation will be useful for others the more it will be beneficial for you.

4. Using advanced tools for creating traffic

Well here we talk about software that meant to help you optimize your search engine ranking by taking care of your keywords as well as your links, there are many of these tools on the online market. You can try them out (take one with a guarantee) and see what works for you. Some of these tools can help you to come out with impressive outcome.

5. Using meta tags.

Meta tags again, have to do with search engine optimization. Meta tags should be put on your HTML code, so that search engines will include your website in the top of their results for your chosen keywords. And yes, it cost just a little to do it, if at all.

6. Submitting to directories.

Submit your website to directories and do it again and again. But before you submit your website to directories make sure that worthy of being included in directories. If your website is not professionally done directories will not bother to include it.

You can find online low cost services that will do for you the work. Look for them and enjoy the benefits.

Home Business Survival Tips For Selling On Ebay In 2008

May 2nd, 2008 GlenB. Posted in Internet | No Comments »

If you’ve ever been a buyer or seller on ebay, you have probably noticed that the winning auctions share some similar traits: they are easy to read, they have photos of the items being sold, and they accept a variety of payment methods. To increase the success of your own auctions, take those same tips to heart and use them in your own listings. In addition to those simple rules, here are a few other pointers to help you make the most of your ebay sales.

Some experts recommend starting every bid at $1.00. This makes sense, when you think about it. Buyers will want to cash in on a good deal, so they

Is Your Home Business Really On Ebay - Time Your Ebay Listings For Peak Profits

May 2nd, 2008 GlenB. Posted in Internet | No Comments »

When it comes to selling goods on ebay, it comes down to what you have and how you present it. These are two vital characteristics of successful auctions. ebay buyers like to know that they’re getting a good deal, and they like to know the details about the merchandise they are paying for.

The timing of your home business ebay auctions can also affect their success. Real ebay pros use focused timing strategies to maximize their profits. Your home business should too.

Some ebay home business sellers are discouraged when their auctions fail to get bids within the first few days of the ebay listing. This is very common; most bids are placed in an auction’s final hours or even minutes. ebay buyers who have been watching the ebay auction will try to place the winning bid just before time runs out.

This effectively cuts down on ebay competition. Since this is the case, ebay home business sellers will benefit from making sure their auctions end during peak ebay buying times.

When are ebay’s peak buying times? According to the ebay home business pros, daily purchases spike between 8 and 10PM Eastern Standard Time. Weekly sales reach their summit on Sunday evenings.

If your home business auction closes during any of those time periods, your listing is more likely to be seen and bid on. If your auction closes in the wee hours of the morning, it’s unlikely that you will benefit from the last-minute buying scramble.

So how do you time your home business auctions to end when ebay has the most visitors? Time your home business listings carefully. If you put up an item in a three day listing, the home business auction will end at the exact listing time, three days later.

The same goes for other auctions of longer durations. For example, a seven day home business listing made at 8PM on Sunday evening will end at 8PM the following Sunday evening. It sounds simple, but careful home business auction timing is an oft-overlooked strategy that can drastically increase your sales on ebay.

Also, consider the length of your ebay home business listings. If you list an item for three days, you are shutting out thousands of potential ebay bidders. You want to leave items up for as long as possible. Not only does this give buyers time to find and place bids on your merchandise, it also cuts down on ebay listing fees.

Why would you list an home business item for three days over and over again when you could just list it for seven or ten days from the beginning? Some types of merchandise, such as antiques and collectibles for example, can take a while to find ebay purchasers.

By listing them for three days, you’re losing out on lots of potential ebay visibility. Increase the length of your auctions and increased profits will follow close behind. Items listed for a week or longer have time to attract plenty of auction watchers who could turn into bidders in the auction’s final moments.

Time your home business auctions for maximum visibility, and your profits will improve. You don

Tips For Top Rankings In The Leading Search Engines

May 2nd, 2008 MoeTamani Posted in Internet | No Comments »

Search engines like Google, yahoo and MSN are the most reputed Search engines and if you are planning to get the best rankings with these three, it is likely that you need to put a lot of efforts.

All these three search engines have different algorithms to determine the SEO ranking of any website though all three of them are known for the best web browsing relevancy, and this is a base which allows a website to know its ranking or the position where it stands.

Every SE has its own criteria to rank the websites which can cause a lot of disparity however, the result that comes out at the end is comprehensive because each website is judged on different criteria and the best would come in the top list, though you may find a few variations. For example, suppose if Google eliminates the link factor from its algorithms, than it is likely that websites with less weight or rather no weight would top the list. Similarly Google can not give links all the weight as credibility factor to rank the website. There has to be a standard that can be used to measure the level or the position of the website based on all these factors. With this simple example it can be understood why it is necessary to have measure and standard for website ranking. The inference from here can be taken for the overall ranking of the website with all the major search engines. There is a time to time change in the algorithms list that are used to rate the ranking of the website on the internet. These updates test websites and readjust the weight given to these ranking factors.

The system might be a bit complicated but it has a very simple theorem of testing a website at all fronts. Theses are the general guidelines and premise with which all the three giants work together to give web browsing a better results.

Search engine optimization with MSN

For MSN SEO the website needs to be developed well. The website with different related themes is likely to please MSN.
