Say the words web site search engine optimization and many of us will reach for the extra strength Tylenol. The mountain of information you seemingly have to digest in order to improve your search engine ranking can be daunting.

So why do people study web site SEO like it’s the finals of a college exam? Because the overwhelming majority of their (and your) site traffic will come from search engines. Optimizing your web pages the correct way can increase the ranking of your website and bring you more targeted traffic from people who are willing to buy your product, sign up for your opt-in email list or take some other action. It also has the added bonus of increasing your link popularity since many other webmasters will be very anxious to exchange links with a high ranking site.

But do you really have to take a postgraduate course to learn SEO? Not necessarily. There are some basic tweaks that you can make right now to your web pages that have the potential to increase your search engine rank.

Keyword Search Terms

This is the reason eighty percent of your site traffic comes from search engines. If the Internet is the information superhighway then keyword search terms are the guide posts. Choosing the right ones can be a science all its own. Use the free overture keyword (keyword) research tool to find terms relevant to your site content that people are looking for. Higher search results mean more competition. There is plenty of profit to be made in utilizing keywords that get anywhere from 500 to 5000 searches per month. You should then compile a list and use these keywords on every page of your website including the title.

However don’t go overboard. Keyword stuffing is a no-no with the search engines. It reminds them too much of the many automatic website builders that scrape content from other sites and create web pages overloaded with keywords and little else. Keep focused on providing useful information and use the keyword search terms where relevant.

Meta Tag Optimization

Five years ago, I would have told you meta tag optimization was essential to your web page. Nowadays search engines rank the importance of meta tags very low. Some do not consider them at all. So why use them? Because even if they a make up a small part of a search engine’s ranking formula, that’s an extra advantage for you.

Meta tags are usually located at the top of a website. Just open your web page in a browser window, click view on your menu bar and then select source. This is the HTML version of the web page. You can also do this with FrontPage, Dreamweaver or any other web site building software. Find where it says ‘meta name= keywords content’ and place your keywords between the empty quotations. Do the same with ‘meta name = description’ and place a brief site description between the quotations. Meta tag optimization may have lost much of it’s importance but every little bit helps.

Web Site Content

If you want to know how to take some of the complexity out of web site SEO, this is it. I’m sure you have seen many a site with dazzling graphics and awesome multimedia slideshows. None of that means anything without good unique web site content. Have at least a minimum of 300 words per page. Also make sure your text is in HTML (which stands for Hypertext Markup Language). Don’t let this throw you. HTML is the way search engines read your web pages. If you want to learn HTML, I recommend Dave Kristula’s website at http://www.davesite.com. The main thing to focus on is writing quality useful web site content that will please your visitors as well as the search engines.

Summary

A good search engine ranking is important for any online business. While there is a lot to learn concerning website SEO, just start with the simple steps we mentioned above. Keep in mind that if you give any web site search engine precisely what they want, they in turn will reward you with more site traffic and customers ready to take a look at your offer.

PC Safety – Free Anti Virus Software

Foreword By The Editor

An article by Azwan Asmat outlining an experience he personally had with a well-known and popular anti-virus software program. It was not a pleasant experience and highlights a very interesting fact about paid versus free anti-virus software programs that really needs to be told.

Malware logo Crystal 128.

The results of experiencing a virus, worm or Trojan horse getting into your computer is often devastating so exactly what do you need to do to defend yourself? There are lots of anti-virus software applications available online today and they are available to be downloaded instantly. There are various paid programs as well as a lot of free plans.

It is often believed a paid-for program is the superior choice because “we get what we pay for”. This is simply not always the case though and there are a number of very good cost-free anti-virus software applications available but you must make sure the program you decide to use is reputable and has good reviews.

In fact a while ago I was professionally using a commercially available anti-virus software program that is a very well known and popular system. However, under the ‘protection’ of this program I was infected by a trojan horse virus which had devastating results. There was absolutely no way that I could get rid of it except to have everything on my computer erased and have Windows reinstalled.

The anti-virus software that I was paying for didn’t pick up the virus during any scans.

Just before I deleted everything from the computer I saved my files and programs to disk. Once I got our computer back again from the retail outlet with Windows reinstalled I then downloaded a different anti-virus program… a free one this time. With this software installed I then proceeded to scan the data I had saved to disk with the new, free software program and this time it picked up the trojan horse virus on one of the documents.

Because of that dreadful experience, I now do not use a paid anti-virus program any more but only use the free version of a respected anti-virus vendor. As a result, I have not suffered any major infections at all since that time.

Viruses can have a devastating effect on your computer and the longer they are on your computer, the more painful those consequences. You can lose your entire files along with programs if you don’t have them backed up with a backup hard disk. You can lose business data, personal pictures and much more if one of these awful viruses acquires control of your laptop. Not only that but also you can unknowingly spread a virus to your friends and colleagues through emails.

It is critical that you have an anti-virus program installed on your personal computer and set to run regular scans. As there are several free anti-virus software programs readily available there is truly no reason for not getting one fitted. Keep your files, photos as well as your computer protected and mount an anti-virus software program currently.

Foreword By The Editor

This article by Alex Wu is a short explanation of one of the most popular ways to advertize your business on  the World Wide Web. If you find it of interest, please show your appreciation by visiting the links provided in About The Author (the last paragraph).

Author of ‘Internet Traps, Ripoffs And Pitfalls

Advertising On The Web

It’s necessary to use the correct approach if you want your business’ website to be effective and efficient. The first thing that you need to do when advertising on the web is to find the most efficient ways to place your business advertisements so that you are rewarded with paying customers. Here are some of the best ways to do that.

Conversions

The objective of your business website is to convert potential customers into paying customers. To do this you should target your advertisements at the most appropriate audience. It’s absolutely necessary to keep track of your advertisements as well so that you can determine if they are getting sufficient attention. If they aren’t, you may need to re-analyze how your business is advertising. Your business advertisements need to be placed so that they will attract the attention of your business’s potential customers. You are simply wasting your time if you place them on just any website.

Customer Friendly

Once you have placed your business advertisement on the web, you should also use the advertisement as the signature for your communications. This way, whenever you send a message or an email, the backlink will be sent automatically to the other person and that will help to publicize your business. In addition, you should also send marketing emails and create a business database. The most important thing to remember is that, when you send these marketing emails, they should not look like a marketing strategy or an advertisement but rather be customer friendly. Your potential customers might want to consider sending a marketing email, but the potential customer may read it closely and resent it. If they do the potential customer may take his/her business elsewhere.

Following Up

There is an easy way to determine what type of audience has visited your business’ website looking for your business’s goods or services. Whenever somebody visits your business website, you should ask for sign-up forms. These potential customers have visited you because they are interested in the goods and services your business is offering for sale. Your potential customers may be diverted because there is such high competition but you need to follow up and get all of the details you can about your potential customers. Then you can advertise on the web. This will help your business convert potential customers into paying customers.

Summary

These are the most efficient and effective ways to advertise on the web. They offer the best chance of your business being successful. They are very easy to understand and are well worth using.

Are You An Internet Marketing Failure?

Foreword By The Editor

The following article by Raymond Selda covers one of the most effective and popular Internet marketing methods available today, namely article marketing.  If you want to succeed at Internet marketing, you really do need to conquer article marketing and the methodology behind successful article marketing campaigns.

You can see my site ranking if you search for Consumer Wealth System review and I’ve been getting emails from people. They have a problem and it’s also one of many serious mistakes that beginners sometimes make when trying to make money online. It’s evident that many people don’t focus enough on a single course. They get tired of waiting for the profits to roll in and that’s not really good.

It is a brutal fact and most probably you have prematurely jumped from one method to the next yourself. You do nine methods one after another then throw your hands up before you’ve put in enough effort to see a profitable campaign result and you sell yourself short yet again by purchasing products you don’t really need.

Basic Skills

Most people (myself included) have gone through this sort of phase. There are many products that I’ve bought and membership programs that I joined unnecessarily. The frustration is just too much and I sometimes I have even quit when starting out. But when you take a close look at it, you only need some basic skills in order to start making money online. One very good technique is to write articles.

Check out the Consumer Wealth System and see how articles can be used to promote physical products. You can also use paid advertising methods but I would really avoid using Pay-Per-Click (PPC) even if you have money to spare. This article alone will save you thousands of dollars in the future. How? By discouraging you from purchasing expensive courses that otherwise you would probably buy this year but that you don’t really need.

Traffic Generation

This is where you have to be honest with yourself. You have to make a decision on what traffic generation techniques you should use. We’re all different and we’re going to have different results with every marketing technique that we use. Nobody can guarantee that a specific method will work for you because it will all depend on how you approach your work. If you don’t give up too easily and take consistent action then your success is just around the corner.

Are you looking to get rich quick? If your mindset is like that then it’s easy for the gurus to get your hard earned money. Now it’s going to be hard for you to put your trust in anyone again even though there are many good money-making online training courses available. Sometimes it takes me a lot of investigation before buying a course because I always want to make sure that I’m making the right decision.

Boost Your Targeted Traffic

Foreword By The Editor

In this article by John P Haskel, a few different ways for you to get targeted traffic to your website or landing page are covered. If you need more in-depth guidance, or more information about a particular facet of traffic generation, be sure not to miss the links you will find in the paragraph headed About The Author.

Get More Traffic

World Class Traffic Jam

While there are many different ways of getting traffic to your website, follow the techniques listed below if you want to boost your traffic as well as increase your search engine ranking for your targeted keywords.

Google AdWords

If you have a new website and you need to start getting targeted traffic immediately, the fastest way to do it is by using Google AdWords. The only problem about using AdWords is, if you don’t do it the right way, you’ll end up losing money and not get the targeted traffic you need for your website. In order to find the best ways to use Google this way then simply search the Internet to find e-books on how to properly utilize AdWords.

S.E.O.

The next best way to get targeted traffic to your site is to make sure your landing page (or indeed, your whole website) is perfectly optimized for the search engines. When we talk about optimizing web pages, we’re talking about having proper keyword targeted phrases throughout the page. Again, you can find e-books and information online that can show you the proper way to optimize your web page.

Joint Ventures

Another great way of getting targeted traffic your website is by having other people drive the traffic for you. You can do this by utilizing joint ventures. This is where you find other people in your niche who are willing to promote your product for you in return for reward. You will however, need to compensate these individuals with some type of commission percentage or something similar. Fifty percent commission is standard and, don’t forget, you only need to pay these people when they generate a sale for you.

Forums And Blogs

One technique that has been used for years and will continue to be effective for a long while yet, is that of posting comments in forums and on other people’s blogs. Although I’m sure you’ve heard of before, I will explain the best ways to do this.

Every time you leave a comment on a blog, you will see a few boxes where you need to enter information. Where it says name, enter your targeted keyword. Be sure to enter a valid email address and where it says website enter the URL you wish to promote. Then simply leave a real comment that relates to the blog post. The URL will then be tied to the name you entered. So every time you leave a comment it will create a back link. Now, you will receive traffic from the link itself and it will also help boost your search engine ranking for your targeted keywords.

Your Signature File

Most forums will not allow you to place a link in a comment or question that you post on their site. They will however, often allow you to place links in your signature. Then you can set your signature file to appear every time you post a comment or question. Which means, every time you ask a question or leave an answer to someone else’s question you will be building a link back to your site. You should, of course, join as many forums as you can and post on each one at least once a day.

Article Marketing

Finally, you should begin utilizing article marketing. This is where you create articles and post them in article directories or anywhere else online you’re able to publish an article. And in each article be sure to include a resource box which has a link that points back to your website.

Selecting A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard

iPad case with bluetooth keyboard

Image by liewcf via Flickr

Foreword By The Editor

This article by Hornet Thomson is basically about considering a bluetooth wireless keyboard and covers all the pros and cons as well as ending with a specific recommendation. If you find the subject of interest, be sure to read About The Author (last paragraph) and follow his links.
Mike Alexander
Author of ‘Internet Traps, Ripoffs And Pitfalls

Security

Bluetooth wireless technology offers a highly secure link to your keyboard and mouse, much more so then the older wireless keyboards, anyway up to 28 feet away. It keeps you connected, saves you time, and simplifies your life in ways you’ve never thought possible. I use laptops exclusively and never a desktop, and even I love the flexibility a bluetooth keyboard can give you!

Battery Power

Bluetooth technology is able to pipe a signal over 10 meters in distance. Wireless keyboards in general work on battery power and are fairly heavy in their consumption because they are generally used a lot of the time. With this in mind its best to get the rechargeable type of batteries.

Because of technical progress in battery life and advances in networking via wireless technology, it is almost certain that very soon every single piece of  hardware that needs a communication pathway to your computer (and back again) will be wireless.

Why Bluetooth?

The advantage of bluetooth rather than infra-red wireless keyboards is that bluetooth makes connecting with your computer a piece of cake in comparison. That’s one reason why bluetooth has become the standard in most computers today.

The critical reason why bluetooth is so much better is that infra-red utilizes radio signals and consequently experiences a great deal of interference. It is also very limited in it’s range capacity.

Smaller Is Better

I know what the average working area is like: papers scattered everywhere, cables, mouse pads etc. With smaller keyboards, a lot more freedom is experienced and a tidier office results.

Hot Keys

Hot keys might be of significant importance to you and, if so, you should search for a keyboard with them installed as an extra. If you are unsure what a hot key is, it is a button on the keyboard that has the ability to run a program just by tapping that button one time. Examples of this may be your email program, or perhaps Internet Explorer, or something else you use repeatedly. A hot-key simply makes it faster and easier to get to where you want to go.

Check This Out

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-ABTKB (can be used for PC or Apple). Technical Details: you can use this bluetooth wireless keyboard anywhere up to 30 feet away. This amazing low profile keyboard with great bounce back that’s built for fast typing has ‘one-touch’ access to multimedia functions, 90 days battery life on 2 AA batteries included (not a long life really but get the rechargeable batteries and save yourself lots of visits to the local shop for new batteries). A recent buyer of the Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-ABTKB had this to say about the purchase: “I had a few initial connection problems because it kept dropping out of sync. After a bit of research the problem was easily fixed. Other than this, it works fabulously well and is very smooth to the touch, which I adore. Its got keys suited to both the PC and to the Mac, so it has best of both worlds, you could say. Overall, an unbelievable buy and ten out of ten from me! After getting over the teething problems, I fell in love with this keyboard. It’s just so smooth and my fingers glide over the keys.”

Home Study IT Courses

Foreword By The Editor

Jason Kendall gives an appraisal of the employment environment available now and in the future for people interested in the Information Technology field in the UK. He also covers the area of home study for those considering entering the field professionally. The opportunities are immense and, even though he is pushing a particular solution in CompTIA, his article is a fair representation of  of what is generally available there and what to look out for if you are an IT wannabe anywhere.

The Technological Environment

Information and communication technology spend...
Image via WikipediaComputer and network support technicians are ever more sought after in the United Kingdom as companies and  institutions rely more and more heavily upon their knowledge and ability to fix and repair their systems. Both the commercial and non-commercial sector’s requirements for better skilled and qualified individuals is still growing as we become consistently more dependent upon computers in today’s tech-oriented environment.

Many people simply don’t understand what information technology (IT) is doing for all of us. It’s thrilling, changing, and means we’re all part of a huge step forward in technology that will impact the world for generations to come. There are people who believe that the technological advancement we are experiencing is slowing in pace. Nothing could be more wrong. We are still still about to experience the most incredible advances and, as a result, the internet is going to significantly dominate our future existence.

The Future Of IT

Putting first things first, the remuneration for working in IT is nothing to scoff at. Typical pay rates throughout Britain for an average IT professional are already considerably more than the national average. Chances are that you’ll earn a whole lot more than you’d have any chance of earning doing other work. As the IT industry continues to grow, both nationally and internationally, it’s a sure bet that the requirement for well trained and qualified IT technicians will continue to increase for many years to come.

IT Training Courses

Considering how a program is ‘delivered’ is often missed by many potential students. How many parts is the training broken down into? What is the order and how fast does each element come? By and large, you’ll enrol in a course that takes between and one and three years and gets posted a section at a time; from one exam to the next. While this may sound logical on one level, consider this:

  • What if there turn out to be reasons why you can’t finish every single section?
  • What if the prescribed order of sections doesn’t suit you?
  • What if, through no fault of your own, you can’t meet the required timescales and consequently do not get all your materials?

The perfect answer, of course, is to have a copy of their prescribed order of study but to receive all the materials in one go, up-front. Everything is then in your possession should you not complete it at their required pace.

Importance Of Accreditation

It only makes sense to consider training programmes that will lead to commercially acknowledged exams. There’s an endless list of trainers promoting minor ‘in-house’ certificates which will prove virtually unusable in today’s commercial market. If the accreditation doesn’t have the backing of a company like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA, then it most likely won’t be commercially viable: it’ll be an unknown commodity.

Shopping Around

At the top of your shopping list for a training program should be round-the-clock support by professional mentors and instructors. So many companies only offer a basic nine till six support period (maybe later on certain days) with very little availability over the weekend.

You’ll find yourself waiting ages for an answer from email based support, and telephone support is usually to a call-centre that will just take down the issue and email it over to their technical team. Then (with a bit of luck) they will call back sometime over the next twenty four hours, and at a time suitable to them, not you. This is all next to useless if you are lost and confused and only have a specific time you can study.

Conclusion

As long as you look hard and diligently, you will find top providers that give students online support all the time, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you accept anything less than direct-access 24/7 support, you’ll regret it very quickly. You might not want to use the service late in the night, but consider weekends, early mornings or late evenings.

Publish An Ezine

Legal 2.0: Hot Topics in Affiliate Marketing S...
Image by affiliatesummit via Flickr

Put out a free ezine. You will be able to utilize it to promote your chosen affiliate programs. Better still, put an opt-in form on your website and require visitors to submit their email address to subscribe. Make sure that you also submit your ezine to directories.

Directories

You can develop a directory specifically for affiliate programs. The best strategy is to become a member of an affiliate network. Thereafter, you can choose several affiliate programs to place in your directory. Once you have done this, advertise your free directory for affiliate programs. Search engines have a high amount of trust for directories.

Chat Rooms

Get involved in chat room discussions which pertain to the products or services that you are promoting. Strike up a dialog without attempting to sell and, after a while, you can then mention your product.

Reviews

Write a review on the products you are promoting. Choose about four products, and rate them from one to five. List the pros and cons of each product and give your ultimate approval for the number one product. Explain why you have chosen this product.

Write An Ebook

Author a free ebook which has content appropriate for your niche. Of course, you will want to include links and references to your website throughout this ebook. Make sure that the reader has to visit your website to learn key bits of information which you left out of the ebook.

Advertising

Develop you own unique ads for the affiliate programs you are promoting. This is how you will stand out from others who are promoting the same programs.

Marketing

Promote your affiliate products with article marketing. Write on a topic relevant to your niche, and include a link to the product in the author resource box of the article. Make sure that you give your readers a compelling reason to visit your website by writing a compelling article. Keep your author resource box relatively short. Less than five lines is best.

Offers

Join an offer exchange. Find people who are promoting products which complement those of your affiliate programs. This is an opportunity to trade banner space on each others’ websites.

Forums

Get involved in forums. Providing answers to some of the questions posed will boost your reputation. This will lead to you becoming an expert, at least in the forum. Make sure that you include a link to your website in the signature of your posts.

Open A Membership Site

Develop a member’s-only website or niche social network. Allow people to join for free as a bonus for purchasing the product which you are promoting. Conversely, you can allow anyone to join for free, and utilize this website or network to promote your affiliate programs to its members.

Profits From Clickbank

Foreword By The Editor

Thanks are due to Justin Harrison for this article on using ClickBank to generate profits on the Internet. Internet profits, or more specifically a World Wide Web income, is not always perhaps as easy to come by as Justin would have you believe (in my opinion) but nevertheless his article is very factual in many ways so maybe he’s just better at it than I am! Anyway, if you enjoy his work please visit his websites by clicking the links in his ‘bio’ at the end.

About Clickbank

There are more and more people out there that have tried Clickbank and failed because they didn’t know how to go about marketing and advertising their Clickbank products. How do you learn what there is to know about Clickbank and successfully make some sound profits that you can brag about to others? There are several things you need to implement and do with your Clickbank business to make it successful, as outlined below.

Picking relevant, high earning keywords should be done when you set up your Clickbank business. Product selection is important because these are the keywords that people use in their Internet keyword searches. Don’t you want your product to be the one they want to buy? So, take the necessary time and invest some quality learning time towards learning about quality keywords and product selection. It is important that you know your product inside and out when choosing to work as a Clickbank affiliate to make money.

If you don’t know about Clickbank, then let me tell you about them. They are one of the top Internet businesses run today and are very profitable for everyone involved. Sitting at the top of the Internet marketing game, they are making where everyone has advantages to work with them. This means not only the consumers but affiliates and merchants too.

Gravity Score

You should always choose products with high gravity scores. These are the products that people out there are looking for and want to buy. You want to offer those products. If you think about it, you do not have to work quite as hard to advertise a product that people want versus selling a product that is in low demand. After you choose products with high gravity scores, it will be easier to sell them and earn profits from Clickbank.

Making money with Clickbank is also pretty easy when you use article marketing and blog writing in your Internet marketing campaigns. Research everything you can about the products you are selling so you can share as much information about relevant topics and products as possible. Write articles, do product reviews, set up your own blog and send out an email newsletter. Take your articles and place them on all the top article submission directory sites. Remember you are essentially advertising with your articles and blog, so always include the backlink to your Clickbank store or other appropriate backlink. Your goal is to get your link out there in as many places as possible. This is what will lead to the most profits with Clickbank and a way to make you a super Clickbank marketing affiliate.

Google Adwords

A lot of people are using Google Adwords in their Clickbank advertising campaigns to make a lot of money. The secret is learning how to operate Google Adwords. Learn as much as you possibly can about the topics and all information regarding Google Adwords. Become an expert in Google Adwords. Becoming a master with Google Adwords is vital if you really want to make money with Clickbank. Most people just don’t take the time to learn about it but if you do you can really benefit money wise from it. You should pay special attention to keywords, content and web page design when using Google Adwords. Google Adwords has proven to be one of the most successful ways to make money if you know how to use it.

Google Adwords utilizes a multitude of templates for you to pick from to either build your website with or to compliment your website, including text, image and video display formats for your website page customization. After picking your keywords, Google Adwords takes those keywords and uses their ‘contextual targeting technology’ that is very advanced technology to analyze your webpages and match ads within their network to your content that is complimentary to your business.

Article Marketing

When pursuing your Clickbank business, it is wise to start using article marketing. A lot of people read articles and you can really gain a lot of traffic from using them to your advantage. Write about your products, learn about your products and research your products. Become a niche master in the topics of your products and write articles about everything you learn. Always include your backlink and submit your articles to the top article directory submission sites that are all over the Internet. You can set up your own blog and post daily posts about your topic. Gain a following that has an email opt-in list to sign up with. Send out regular postings and special emails with valuable information and or promotions.
