eBay Sellers: Hints, & Tips To Help You Find A Dropshipper!

The concept of dropshipping is quite simple: You list an item for sale, then when someone buys it you place an order with the dropshipping company and have it sent to the customer directly. As you can see, dropshipping cuts out seller handling. You can sell a wide range of stocks and not have to store it anywhere yourself. It also means no trips to the post office, and eliminates the problem of having bought goods that nobody wants. You only buy the goods when they've been sold.

While all this sounds perfect, the reality can sometimes be quite different. For a start, dropshipping companies can sometimes be unreliable. If the customer doesn't receive their order, or it's not as described, guess who will get the blame? You will! Even though it may not be your fault.

Another potential problem with dropshipping is the higher prices charged by the suppliers. While a dropshipping fee of a couple of dollars may not seem like much, it can dramatically eat into your profit margins. Remember that eBay buyers demand low prices from you.

There is also the issue of not being able to answer customer questions so easily. If you don't have the product right in front of you to see, how can you accurately answer a question someone is asking?

Also think about customer returns. How easy will it be to return an item to the dropshipper if someone requests a refund from you? How will communication with the dropshipper work?

So having looked at both sides of the coin, can dropshipping work on eBay? The answer to that is YES it can, BUT the key is to seek out a reliable supplier. If you're sure that a dropshipping company is reliable and will offer a suitable level of customer satisfaction while providing a good profit margin, then go for it.

How Google Measures Link Popularity

Link popularity is by far the most important factor for determining your search engine ranking. You need to know what link popularity is, why it is so important, and how Google measures your link popularity (over 50% of all search engine traffic comes from Google, and if you can rise to the top of Google, you will rise to the top of all the other search engines as well). But, before we talk about how Google measures linking, we need to cover some basics.

Top 5 Link Building Expert Strategies

Link Popularity is a greatly misunderstood subject among webmasters and online business owners. The major search engines have developed complicated algorithms that rank web pages for relevancy and quality. In determining relevancy, the search engines tend to measure on page factors such as relevant content. For determining quality, the search engines have moved towards inbound links and their quality as a measure of a website’s importance. The rise of link popularity, as a measure of the links pointing to a website, is founded on the belief that great sites will naturally attract many links and content poor sites will have difficulty attracting any links. While Google is the front runner in giving importance tolink popularity, other major

Google Adsense Tips and Tricks

Every single website and its owner have the opportunity to make some great money by displaying Google Adsense ads on it. Although many webmasters are making a nice income with these ads, many aren't.

Many people say that all you have to do is put up a website and you'll be making over 0 a day with Google Adsense. It does sound simple and it is, but you will need to optimize your site so that you do generate more and more clicks on the ads that are sitting on your site.

The first thing that you need to do is to Place the Google Adsense ads in the right spot of the page. This will determine how much money you will make each day. It is very important that you place the ad at the top of the page (above the fold) on your website in order to get the most clicks. What this really means is that you will want to place the Adsense code that Google gives you high enough on the page so that your visitors do not have to scroll down to see the Google ads.

If you choose to have the ads right at the top above everything else then do that. By placing the Google Adsense ads at the top of your website above the fold, there is a greater chance that people will click on the ad, which will help your site generate a higher click through rate also known as CTR. The reason for this is because the majority of your visitors will not scroll down the page and look at it.

A lot of the time, people look over the top part of the page without worrying about scrolling down. The way you blend the ads with the rest of your page can determine if the ad is visually appealing or not. It is very crucial to make the Google Adsense ads look like your site and not another ad. You can do this by making the font and color of the ad's text similar to the rest of the page. I also recommend that you blend the background of the ad with the background of your page. It should basically have the same color.

Google gives you the option to go into your account and customize your ads in different fonts and colors. This will help you blend the ads to your site. Make sure that you don't use the banner ads on your site because this will decrease your click through rate.

People who visit your website usually try to avoid any banner and picture ads that they see. If you want to increase your click through rate, you will want to add text ads. Google gives you that option so use it.

Here are some other small tips to increase your Adsense income:

1. Google has confirmed that using the 336x280 rectangle ad block size does have the highest click through rate. Using this ad size will increase your click through rate and the income that you generate.


2. Using a blue underline for the links can also improve your click through rate. This allows the ads to actually stand out and look clickable.

If you follow the advice given above, you can improve your CTR and make more money with Google Adsense.

3 Basic Marketing Dope

Sometimes the simplest data is the best. Marketing is not complex if you know the basics – that’s true with anything by the way. Here are some tools that are brilliantly simple and with them you really won’t have to sweat the small stuff.

Hot Dope #1) The more that your potential customers see your name in front of them, the more likely they are to call your number (and not someone else’s) when they need the services you offer.

Many marketing efforts go unrewarded, not because they were off target but simply because they weren’t given enough of an opportunity to work.

Showing your TV commercial one time, running an ad in the newspaper once, or doing one mailing of postcards may not be enough to grab and keep the audience’s attention.

Get your name out there, do it on a regular basis and people will remember you when they need someone in your line of business. Actually, this particular “Hot Dope” cannot be stressed enough – and failure to adhere to it is the #1 reason new businesses fail.

You should also know that taking the time to really see which pieces will generate the response you want will pay off. Don’t just totally give up when a response is low – persistence is vital.

Hot dope # 2) Measure your Return On Investment (ROI) in terms of actual MONEY not response rate. An advertising vehicle is working when the MONEY that it brings in has more value than the MONEY and time that is spent on the marketing.

Don’t fall into the trap of becoming discouraged by a small number of callers responding to a large number of pieces. If you spend several hundred dollars to be in the view of a few thousand possible leads, it may only take a few customers responding for you to make enough of a profit for this type of marketing to be valuable. The usefulness of any vehicle can only be determined after the amount of income generated by the promotion has been calculated. If you spend 1/5 of what you generate or generate 5 times what you spend, your campaign was successful.

Hot dope #3) It is much easier to "sell" a prospect once you get them to call or come in to your store. In 2-Step Marketing, step 1 is to get them interested; step 2 is having them speak to a representative to get all the details – and get “closed” by that representative.

Your design must be eye catching and informative, but don’t try to close the sale by explaining all of the details in one piece of advertising. The details of a business transaction often take many more words to explain than the main concept of what is being sold. For example, if your company offers great prices depending on the quantity purchased, there is no need to list the prices for every quantity that you sell. Simply give examples of two or three different quantities and state somewhere in the advertisement that other discounts are available for other quantities. This will prompt them to call to get the rest of the details once you have gotten their interest.

Marketing can be as simple as 1-2-3 when you know the basics. By no means have I given you all the basics here, but by learning and implementing these 3 marketing fundamentals, you are already on your way to marketing success!

8 Linking Strategies That Work

When it comes to linking strategies for your website you need to concentrate on one word. Backlinks! A backlink is defined as having your website address on another website. This creates a link pointing your visitor or a search engine back to your website. If you were in a game and were keeping score every backlink gives you a +1. An outoging link is the link of another website on yours pointing back to theirs. You would score this a -1.

If you were playing a game to win you would want the most pluses you could get. So it is with linking strategies. Here are some basic ways to get backlinks to yourwebsite.

1. You can buy a text link. Websites that get high amounts of traffic and are ranked high with the top search engines will let you pay them to put your website link on their site.

2. Forum marketing is a way to get a backlink. If the forum let's you create a signature file you can hyperlink you website to a keyword phrase pointing back to your website. You can also list your website in your online profile and get a backlink that way,

3. Writing and submitting articles is a quick way to get alot of backlinks. Create a bio box at the end of each article with a link for yourwebsite . Then submit your article to as many directories as possible. Or even better yet use a software of article marketer to submit your articles for you. These articles can be picked up by other directories, webmasters, or online newsletters and spread all over the internet giving yourwebsite a viral marketing benefit.

4. Place classified ads with popular directories like USFreeAds or AdlandPro. Upgrade to paid member and you can place unlimited ads with links pointing back to your website.

5. Blog and ping. In each blog post include a sort resource box with your website address. If you archive you posts this gives you backlinks for years to come.

6. Trade links with quality websites. We are not talking about reciprocal linking to directories with thousands of worthless links. A better strategy is to trade a link with awebsite that closely mirrors your site without being in direct competition to it. Also look to place their link on one of your pages that has the same page rank as the link they are giving you.

7. Post comments on other peoples blogs. Take the time to read the post before you make a comment. Don't write something worthless like " I like your blog." Make your comments informative and relate to the blog post you just read. Then include yourwebsite address along with your name.

8. Internal linking can bring valuable backlinks to your home page. This would be when you put your website address in a hyperlinked keyword phrase and point it back to your home page. This is a great way to build keyword relavancy along with building up your backlinks.

These are a few linking strategies that work. There are many others. Just keep it simple and remember this simple formula.

5 Ways to Find Blog Readers and Build Community

A blogger’s heaven is to have a constant stream of traffic and readers who come back for more, right? We’ve all heard of Digg, Reddit, MySpace, and all these Web 2.0 social networking sites to market and bring traffic to our blog, but somehow we’ve forgotten the old school ways of marketing a website. At least I have forgotten…until recently when I started reflecting back to when I first started my online business years ago…

It’s back to the basics, my friends, and I’m here to tell you some old school ways to get more traffic to your blog:

1. Yahoo! Groups - you can find just about any kind of group over at Yahoo! Groups. Are you a blogger who blogs about gardening? How about an artist in L.A. looking for other artists in the area? There’s a group for you to share your expertise and of course, the link to your blog ;)

2. Google Groups - pretty similar to Yahoo! Groups in that you can find a wide variety of groups related to your blog topic

3. Ryze.com - This is a business networking forum where you can build your own profile page and join various business groups. You can also do searches for people within a specific geographical location or industry

4. Your local community - Who says you have to stay online to find readers for your blog? Why not venture out into your local community and find groups who would love to have the information that you provide? If you blog about fitness, drop by a gym and ask if you could leave your business cards at the front desk. Oh, and speaking of business cards…

5. Pass out business cards to people you meet and who show an interest in your blog. For many of you, your blog is your business, so business cards are a must!

When all is said and done, it’s about establishing relationships with people and making meaningful connections. What better way to do that than to connect with them throughold school ways - via groups - and establishing yourself as an authority by sharing your thoughts and experiences within these groups.

People will remember you and your blog because you helped them!

Affiliate Marketing: Making Money Online

Affiliate is a system of revenue sharing between one site (affiliate merchant) which features an ad or content designed to drive traffic to another site (advertiser). The affiliate will receive a fee (compensation or commission) based on the amount of traffic generated. Amazon.com is said to be the most visible pioneer in affiliate marketing. The affiliate merchants are the advertisers/ merchants and the affiliates are the publishers/salespeople.

There are so many benefits of affiliate marketing: automating much of the advertising process (accepting and approving applications, generating unique sales links, tracking and reporting of results) and payment only for desired results (sales, registrations, clicks).

Paying only for performance shifts much of the advertising risk from the merchants to the affiliates, although merchants still assume some risk of fraud from partner sites.

Many leading online companies have been successful because of affiliate programs. It is not unusual to see industries where the major players have affiliate programs -- often structured in a similar manner and making similar competitive changes over time.

Successful affiliate programs require a lot of maintenance and work. The number of affiliate programs just a few years back was much smaller than it is today. Having an affiliate program that is successful is not as easy anymore. The days when programs could generate considerable revenue for the merchant even if they were poorly managed are over. Today’s managers need to be very much involved in the program or face early termination of their program.

The benefits for the affiliate are:
• No need to own, ship, refunds etc, products or services.
• Affiliates will be provided with marketing tools and will benefit from services that would otherwise cost too much to afford.
• Affiliates will be able to learn a lot and use what they learn to further advance their career in the company.

Working from home and making money online is the best job in the world anyone would try to be into. Joining affiliate programs is building a partnership so you better make sure you make the most of what they can offer you.

If you want to earn cash online or offline, you need to know many things: how to promote products or services, how to organize advertising campaigns, where to look for the perfect customers and how to attract them to your shop. When you join anaffiliate program, you can learn all of these things. It will be to your advantage because you can work from home in your own time, you can ask questions anytime and they will offer you tons of guides and tutorials.

Nowadays, if you want many resources in your hands, you would need thousands of dollars for courses which may or may not help you at all but not withaffiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing will help you learn everything and make money online at the same time. Don’t you want to be paid to learn something that will be useful to you all your life? Affiliate marketing will make it possible for you.

Marketing Power of RSS

RSS content syndication is relatively new legitimate practice in the world of search engine optimization (SEO). Marketing professionals specializing in SEO techniques are beginning to recognize the value of RSS content syndication however, and it seems that the more popular this technique becomes the more effective the results.

The value of RSS content syndication lies in the links contained within the content. This is because the big search engines like Google and Yahoo! pay a whole lot more attention to incoming links to a website than they did in the past. We'll get to content a little later, because it still counts, but it is so important to understand why syndicating content to RSS feeds across the web may make you more money and cost you LESS!

RSS feeds are appearing on websites across the internet in order to keep people up to date with the latest news or information on a particular topic quickly. And we all know that users expect quality content, but even more so they expect that content to appear immediately! And, they want to see the content. They do not want to look for the content. They do not want to link to the content. They want the content to jump off of the screen and into their brains in 10 seconds or less!

Perhaps this is why Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, came about in the first place. It's great news for web site owners too, however. Taking advantage of the huge variety and sheer number of RSS feeds that accept submissions from other websites provides a very cheap and simple way to develop more web site traffic and higher income.

Did I mention cheap? A minimal amount of time invested will allow you to not only provide a way for your loyal visitors to stay aware of your newest updates, but also to expand the awareness of the world about your services or products. I did mention cheap, right? Well, RSS content and article syndication allows you to spend some time preparing content in the standard XML RSS format and then to make it available to many free RSS feeds across the world.

If you have ever spent a large amount of money on an online marketing program - you already know the drawbacks of traditional internet marketing.

Mass emails are no longer effective due to the increasing power of spam filters. Directory listing services are finding that their clients are removing their links due to retribution by the major search engine algorithms. And, Pay Per Click... well it's just really expensive if you intend to see real results.

With RSS syndication, you are never going to face any of these issues. If you can write an html file for your website, you can syndicate your own RSS content. The basic process is quite simple to master, and as you become more familiar your skills will expand quickly as well.

What's even better news for web site owners? The major search engines are not only approving of RSS syndication, they are providing RSS feeds open for submission in a huge array of topic areas like sports, entertainment, world news, travel, health and technology. There is a topic for every web site owner willing to put in a little effort! And people use their sites already, so what a better place to syndicate your content?

When you place content in an RSS feed, a link appears to your web site. This is noticed by the major search engines, and helps to increase your link popularity among the search engines. Link popularity will potentially move your site up in the search engine results pages (SERPS).

Combine these two facts, and you will see that no matter how you look at it, RSS syndication will get you more traffic.

It doesn't really matter whether your additional visitors found you through an RSS feed, or if your visibility and increased link popularity allowed them to find you through a major search engine! Think about that, and you are sure to see the true benefit of RSS content.

There's that word again... "Content." RSS content is different from what you might normally expect in an SEO campaign. The reason that most web sites containing RSS feeds put them there in the first place is to provide extra information for their visitors.

Think about it, if you publish a web site geared towards IT professionals you might be providing content that is of a fairly specific nature. You may be giving information, tutorials or even advertising for a certain software package. Although this information is important to a large majority of the visitors who click on your link, some visitors may be more interested in a different area of the IT field.

Providing an RSS feed that displays the latest in the world of IT news may be a great answer. If the information found in your RSS feed is quality and relative to your visitors' interests, they will bookmark your site. Then they will COME BACK!

But what does that mean to you as the RSS syndicated content provider? It means that you will need to produce quality content - because it's your content that keeps the users coming back to the original site. As long as your content is quality, and you remain a part of that RSS feed, you will see increased new and return visitors.

And generating traffic is the largest goal of an SEO campaign, so why wouldn't you want to syndicate quality content for RSS feeds? This simple and inexpensive method of marketing your website is gaining popularity, and becoming visible now as a content provider will only mean greater returns in the future.

Let's Start Making Money On eBay

You have your business set up, your name chosen; you're signed up and registered. Now what do you need to be making money on Ebay?

When you first start out on Ebay you need to decide on a product that you would like to sell. It is suggested that you start by choosing one type of product. This will allow you to become an expert with them so you can advertise and sell them effectively. You will want to expand your product line as you become more effective in online marketing. You can try different selling and advertising methods until you find what works the best for your particular product or products.

You will want to limit the number of items you place on auctions. The goal for is to sell your items at the highest possible price. If you are selling several of the same things at the same time, it will be much harder to get a high price for them.

Finding quality and unique items to sell on Ebay can be difficult as ebay gets more popular. Some sources are Estate attorneys who get requests from families to help dispose of the deceased items. Taking an ad out in your local paper and offer to take on consignment to sell could be a very good source of items and products. You will want to charge a small upfront fee and or a percentage of the sale. By pursuing this avenue to gain products and items be sure and check your state and local laws to be sure you do not need to have a auctioneers license.

You may also find items from other Ebay sellers who have bought items in bulk or by the lot. They may have items they choose not to sell. If you make other sellers aware you may buy excess items of a certain product, you may have another source of changing items or products.

A couple of important points to remember as you're attempting to make money on Ebay. Make sure you sell only legitimate items. If you are selling illegal or counterfeit items, and the real manufacturer or another Ebay seller or buyer reported you Ebay would cancel all your auctions. Do not allow friends, relatives, or even be tempted yourself to bid against other bidders on your auctions in an attempt to drive up the price. This practice is known as shilling and is illegal. Not only will Ebays fraud department shut you down. In some states the attorney general will bring criminal charges against you with the help of Ebay.

To help to earn on Ebay you may want to promote your auctions. You can do this with a personal web page just to promote you Ebay sales. You can also run a online store with links going back to your auctions. This will give you a more professional appearance on the Internet and helps your customers a better idea of who you are. Finally a very good way to assist in your quest on Ebay is build a mailing list. Send out email to your subscribers on a regular basis and promote your current auctions.

Currently there are approximately 430,000 people who are making money on Ebay. This is because it is a efficient and low cost way to reach 45 million people. You can see there are many ways to for making money on Ebay. It is not a get rich overnight excursion. Do not be fooled into buying guides that claim instant success. Many of these are just bought e-books or some are actually copy write protected articles reproduced without authors consent.

Learn How to Successfully Promote Your Blog

So, You've created your blog and now it's time to market it for success.

How do you do this? How do you go about getting your blog out there to be seen and known by others? How do you draw readers and keep them coming back for more?

There are many ways to get your blog out there and known by others, this can be challenging for some and just quite easy for others, if you have ever had a successful blog before then you know what it takes.

You're not going to get anywhere by just setting up a blog and hoping that people will find it and read it, you're not going to gain any links, nor a higher search engine ranking by just having a blog.

This is all part of blog marketing, anyone can do it, even you.

Successful blog marketing tip number one.

When you first create a blog, of course it is unheard of, no one knows anything about the blog unless you give them the link and show it to them, However, for a new blog that has never been seen, there are many ways to get it out there and known.

You just need to know how. The first thing that you can do is to allow RSS feeds be taken from your blog. Allow other websites and blogs to publish your same exact blog.

When you do this, they're giving you a link back to your blog, and also telling their readers all about your blog. You will get more traffic than ever with this tool. RSS feeds are wonderful for promoting and getting your blog out there.

Blog marketing tip number two.

Update your blog frequently, we can't put enough emphasis on this tip. If you tell your readers that you're going to update your blog daily, then do it.

If you tell them that you will be writing in your blog weekly, don't let them down. Your readers are what makes your blog successful. You may not realize this in the beginning, and you will have few readers in the beginning as well, but you'll eventually build a readership base and have people checking out your blog regularly.

Maybe you don't plan on telling your readers how often you will update your blog, that is ok too. However, think about this, if you were reading a blog on a weekly basis, and you expected to see the blog that you like to read updated at least once a week, you would be very disappointed to find out that it wasn't.

Sure, things happen that might prevent you from updating, and that is expected, and excused, but week after week can hurt you and cause you to lose readers.

How to Use Blog Marketing to Your Advantage

The world is buzzing with the news of blogging being the new marketing tool.

But, if you've yet to start one of your own, perhaps you figure that you are the last person on earth that doesn't have one, now you may think that this is true, you are going to be shocked that not everyone has a blog, and most of those that do, have them for internet blog marketing purposes

Internet blog marketing is all the rage just as much as blogs are, when you talk about internet blog marketing, you mean you're using the internet to market things through the medium of your blog.

This is perhaps the easiest definition.

Marketing, whatever it is you're marketing on the internet is not as easy as it was just a few years ago...

Why, well everyone is into marketing online because of the ease and as a result of the pay per click programs that everyone wants a part of, guaranteeing you get traffic. And that means that the competition today is fierce.

In order to market things online effectively and as a result become successful at it, you need to choose a market.

You can't just use one single blog to market a number of things unless they are all relevant. If you tried, you'd get no where fast and at the same time alienate your entire following

Even choosing your market can be hard to do, some people will tell you to opt for low competition markets to begin with, but ones that have many searches.

However, other people will tell you to choose something that you know and love, and that you are passionate about, as that will be easier to promote and your sincerity will come through in your marketing allowing you to be known as an expert about it.

Doing this will gain trust in the internet world, and many people will know you for your market and your views on it. This in return will make you successful and allow you to build a good following of readers, you can later market to.

If this is going to be your chosen angle then you must truly know what you are talking about, or you will be found out.

It's been known for people to choose a topic to become an expert on, learning all that they can about it before they begin to promote it. Even if they never knew much about it to begin with.

Internet blog marketing is easier for some than others and becomes easier the sooner you get started for the simple reason the internet changes every day and things are not all ways the same, the faster you learn the best marketing techniques and tools, the easier it will be for you once they change and start to become more complicated.

Not only does the interent change frequently, so do the search engines, as an example, Google changes its own criteria about four times a year.

You'll find that when it does go through a change and update everything, your page ranks will be different, so will your search rankings.

Where you may have been in the number two spot on Google search for 3 months, after they go through a change you just might find yourself on page three.

Internet blog marketing is all about knowing and becoming familiar with the internet.

The more you know about it the better your blogs will be.

If you're new to internet blog marketing it won't take long to get the hang of creating a great blog that attracts many readers and as a result if you want it to a successful business!

The 3 Keys to Legit Ways to Make Money Online

It’s no secret that making money online is something that everyone wants to do. Over the past few years a lot of people have stopped with their search because they feel all work from home opportunities must be scams. My mom had that mentality for the longest time. She used to say to me, “Dave stop trying to work from home and just use your business degree that you have and get a regular job.” She said that all the way until I finally cracked the secret and when she start seeing me being able to afford anything I wanted, she once again believed.

It’s understandable though why my mom and many others think that way. 97 of work from home and online opportunities out there are all scams. People promise you everything and deliver nothing. But believe it or not, finding that 3 of legit opportunities is really not a hard task at all. Actually, and I say this with caution, but it’s actually very easy and I’m going to show you exactly why:

1.)Eliminating unrealistic opportunities up front Once you understand that every single get rich quick program you lay your eyes on IS indeed a scam, you will eliminate 70 of the 97 of scams out there. Yes it is nice to think that if we pay $299.99 to someone they will return 1 million dollars to us in 30 days, but unfortunately that is just not realistic and you will have wasted 300 hard earned dollars on a scam.

2.)Learn from those already earning money I hate to admit but when I started searching online opportunities I thought I knew it all so listening to those that were already earning online wasn’t an option for me and I lost thousands because of that. Don’t make my same bone headed mistake. There are so many online millionaires out there eager to share their path to success with you so you can simply copy it. Take some time and listen to them or to their programs and I guarantee you that you will be making money online in no time.

3.)Apply exactly what they teach This ties right in to #2. If you simply duplicate EXACTLY what those that are already earning are doing, I guarantee you will see success. Doesn’t it only make sense? If I let you sit with me for a day and watch exactly how I make $10k in a day, don’t you think you’d be able to sit down and do the exact same thing the next day? Absolutely! There are many programs out there with successful online entrepreneurs letting you watch exactly what they do so you can see success. That is exactly how I started earning online!

So finding a legit way to make money online may seem difficult but I promise you if apply all 3 keys above you will find it super easy and will see success in no time. This is how I got started in living financially free.

Ways Used to Generate Web Site Traffic

A quick Internet search on the keywords, “home business,” will likely yield millions of results. Peddlers of home business opportunities assure overnight riches in what ultimately amounts to an endless sea of empty promises. Their willing victims fall prey to the hype and usually lose time, effort, and, in the end, lots of money.

The key to success in any Internet business is traffic. Without visitors to your site, you will not have any sales, and without sales, you will not make any money. Since the most likely reason you started your home business was so that you would make money—lots of money, probably—this would not be a good result. So, how do you get traffic to your Web site?

There are several ways to entice visitors. Some are expensive and others are completely free, costing only your time, while others fall somewhere in between. Following is a summary of three of the best methods used to generate Web site traffic.

1. Search Engines

Submitting your Web site to search engines, such as Yahoo! and Google, should be among the very first thing you do. When you set up your Web site, you will have the ability to assign keywords—words and phrases that best describe your product or service. (To generate a list of possible keywords, visit the Web sites of businesses similar to yours and select “View” “Source” from the Web browser menu. Look for the heading meta name="Keywords" content= to see the keywords your competitors are using.) These keywords are what search engine users will use to find your Web site. To request that a particular search engine add your site, simply visit the search engine’s site and look for the link to suggest your URL. This will allow you to add your Web site to the list of sites available on the search engine.

There are countless companies on the Internet that will offer, for a nominal fee, to add your Web site to hundreds of search engines simultaneously. Please, do not waste your money. There are really only a few major players in the search engine arena, and those do not typically allow automated submissions. To be listed on sites such as Google and Yahoo!, you must submit your site manually. Keep in mind, however, that it can take several weeks for the larger search engines to add your site.

2. Classified Ads

Again, for a nominal fee, an Internet search will find many companies who will offer to submit your ad to hundreds, or even thousands, of free classified publications. Completely free classified ads will do very little to generate traffic to your site. On the other hand, advertising in eZines—Internet newsletters—with a broad circulation is something you should consider.

The cost for these ads varies, usually depending on the eZine’s circulation. To make the expense worth your while, you should concentrate on finding those Internet newsletters with about 10,000 subscribers. Using your favorite search engine, seek out eZines that focus on your particular product or service. That way, your advertisement will end up in front of targeted consumers that are most likely to be interested in what you are selling.

3. Pay-Per-Click

Probably the quickest, and certainly one of the most expensive, ways to generate traffic is to enlist a pay-per-click advertising campaign. As the name suggests, you bid on keywords and pay each time someone clicks on your ad. The two top pay-per-click companies are Yahoo! Marketing Solutions and Google AdWords. Both work in about the same way: You create an account, deposit funds, select keywords, and write an ad. They then display your ad in their search engine, with the position and frequency of your ad dependent on how high your bid is.

When just starting out, I highly suggest you set your daily spending limit very low (between $5 and $8 is desirable). The cost of a pay-per-click advertising campaign can add up quickly, so be careful in the beginning. As you become more familiar with this sort of advertising and get a feel for what works best for your company, only then should you begin raising your budget and/or keyword bids.


It is actually very easy to start an Internet home business. However, if you go into it with the belief that you will get rich overnight, you will certainly be disappointed. Many of the companies on the Web will claim that you will begin making money immediately if you use their unique system. Though the Internet can be a powerful tool, by its very nature it takes a considered amount of time to reap the rewards it has to offer. To see instantaneous results can be quite costly.

One Skill You Must Master to Succeed Online

Some people are and some people simply are not cut out to own and operate a business.

But today there happens to be a medium in between where you can be in your own business but have the support and help needed to get you through even if you are not really "designed" to be a business owner.

I'm not referring to franchising although the internet does provide an opportunity for one to be in business for yourself but not by yourself as the franchise saying goes.

I've owned franchises previously and the trail blazing they provide for the average person is very helpful, whether it is marketing expertise or equipment purchases or simply name recognition.

Online Business Opportunities Require One Primary Skill

The opportunity the internet now provides though is a notch below a franchise in that you typically do not purchase a costly business package.

But rather you can start an online business, targeting a specific market with a specific product or service and you can be set up quickly and start making money pretty much right out of the gate...

IF you know this one thing - HOW to Market. This really is the single most important element of starting an online business. It is though, the one piece that most online business opportunities do not teach you how to do. Most do provide general help -like showing you how you can do free classifieds, article writing, press releases, and social networking.

So, if you work with a company or person who can provide the set-up details such as a website. And it works by converting leads into sales, THEN generating leads or driving business to the site becomes your main focus as a "business owner".

So in this way you can be in business without all the concerns that are required in most traditional businesses. The internet really does provide this particular advantage to any one who has the desire to learn and make a change in their life.

How Will You Learn this Crucial Piece to the Online Puzzle?

There are two primary ways of pursuing this matter of how to market online.

1. You may take the route most people take and buy every study course or seminar that you can absorb that you've decided is necessary to succeed. Then take the time to study it in detail, do the market testing as you are learning each new aspect of marketing online, track all your results and tweak it until it is highly profitable OR

2. You can buy these services from the few companies online that actually deliver.

You Only Have So Much Time and So Much Money

Typically it is recommended that you use a combination of these two methods not only because of the time and money involved in each but also because online your main activity is marketing so it behooves you to develop the skill rather than simply buying the service.

Whatever you do though, do not ignore this huge key to building an online business - you simply must know how to market and advertise - so learn this before doing anything else to guarantee your online success.

Profits Through Clickbank

It is entirely possible that someone reading this article may never have heard of Clickbank. For those of us that "eek out" a living online, Clickbank is one of the core resources used to generate cash flow.

There are several ways to produce income through Clickbank and they can all add up to a tolerable income paid in two week cycles.

The two main ways of creating income through Clickbank are "affiliate sales" and "direct product sales".

Affiliate Sales
There are thousands of downloadable digital products for sale at Clickbank in a variety of categories covering a wide range of topics. When products are added to Clickbank by the sellers they are given the opportunity to allow for affiliate sales. The product owner determines the percentage to be paid to the affiliate, if any.

Anyone can view all the products with affiliate sales potential at this link:
http://clickbank.com/marketplace/

Once a category is clicked on in the Clickbank Marketplace, sub-categories and product listings appear. For example, today in the 'Business to Business' category the top selling product listed is: Data Entry Ads Online - Join The Best! [Earn 50%].

As an affiliate marketer, you would click on the [Earn 50%] link and fill in your Clickbank ID to capture the correct Clickbank Hoplink for the product. This Hoplink would be used in conjunction with all ads directing traffic to a particular product.

Each product Hoplink contains the ID of the affiliate and the ID of the seller thus making successful affiliate sales attributable to the correct parties.

Clickbank has an automated tracking system that determines which affiliate, if any, is to be associated with the sale. Although Clickbank feels their tracking system is "more fair and accurate than any alternative" it is still not perfect.

There are apparently ways for unscrupulous people to take advantage of the system for their benefit at the expense of those of us who do not delve into such matters. Link cloaking can be useful in these situations.

The benefits of affiliate marketing through Clickbank far outweigh any potential negative experiences that may arise due to an unscrupulous few.

Direct Product Sales (Your Own Products)
A popular way for internet marketers to get their products to the public is by using Clickbank payment processing. Clickbank makes it very easy for anyone to sell a downloadable product through their service and their fees are not likely to be out of the reach of anyone with computer access.

Although not shy about being one of the most expensive payment processors on the Internet, Clickbank makes up for their several imperfections by general ease of use and reliable service.

It is simple to sign-up for a Clickbank ID; just go to Clickbank.com and create an account. You can begin to promote affiliate products immediately after your membership is confirmed.
http://clickbank.com/signup/

To sell your own products on Clickbank there is a seven step process:

(1) Signup with Clickbank
http://clickbank.com/signup/

(2) Make a "Pitch Page"
http://clickbank.com/setup.html#ppp

(3) Make a "Thank You Page"
http://clickbank.com/setup.html#thankyou

(4) Make a Test Purchase
http://clickbank.com/setup.html#test

(5) Submit Product Approval Request
http://clickbank.com/setup.html#limit

(6) Pay $49.95 Product Review Fee
http://clickbank.com/setup.html#activate

(7) Set Your Product Price and Start Making Sales!
http://clickbank.com/setup.html#setprices

It is not mandatory to offer affiliate sales of your products but there is at least one good reason to do so. Often sellers get to a point where affiliate sales produce enough income that they can stop using pay per click advertising to drive traffic to their site. What is lost in direct sales at the full item price is made up by the savings in pay per click marketing.

Overall, Clickbank is an excellent place to get a start in product sales on the Internet. Whether you are selling your own product or putting up affiliate links, the potential to create a viable income is available to everyone.

5 Top Tips For Publishing A Newsletter

Providing a newsletter for your opt-in list subscribers provides many benefits in terms of driving traffic into your site as well as boosting the sales and profits of your site and company.

This is a marketing ploy that will not hugely dent your marketing budget and will not also require many man-hours in developing this project.

With a newsletter, you can inform the public about your company and products as well as services. You can keep them posted and updated about what's going-on with your company as well as many of your promotions and offerings. With these, you keep on reminding your subscribers that you are still here and is willing to offer them good deals and services.

Newsletters also allow you to impress your subscribers. It can show your expertise and knowledge about the topic at hand and the many benefits you can offer them.

When you impress people, they will become potential customers and another great thing is that they can recommend you to their friends, colleagues and family. All of them could very well be customers in the future.

If you do not have a newsletter or publishing one for your site, then you may have to consider about researching and be well informed on how to publish one. It is not as easy as it seems but if and when you get the right idea and process, it will be smooth sailing from there on.

Try to take the time to learn what you need to learn and get that newsletter ready and good to attract subscribers to your newsletter as well as traffic to your site.

In the next few paragraphs, I will provide you with some things to reflect on when you decide to start your own newsletter for your site. Here are five things to consider when publishing a newsletter.

1) Make sure that the content of your newsletter pertains to and closely associated with your business or the theme of your site. Do not dwell too far on what could be regarded as your field of expertise. You have started a site and your theme for your site will always be something you are knowledgeable about.

For example; if you have a site that sells auto car parts, your newsletter must contain articles or content like photos that pertain to cars, auto parts and such. You may also include content about your company and your staff.

Remember that visitors of a certain site are there because they are interested in what the site has to offer. If they sign up for an opt-in list or for a newsletter this means that they want to be updated for that certain theme or subject. Be sure that when you publish your newsletter you are providing for the need of the subscriber as well as their interests.

2) Ensure that you have well written, information riddled and content rich articles. You articles will be the body of your newsletter and that they should be able to excite your readers as well as provide information.

Articles should be well written and checked for errors such as spelling and grammatical errors for it to look professional and believable. The trust of your client to you and newsletter is at stake here.

3) Fact-check your articles. Make sure that you provide true facts and figures so that your reputation as an expert and knowledgeable in that field is not questioned. If you lose the trust of your subscribers these may persuade them to unsubscribe to your newsletter. You will lose many potential sales this way.

4) Provide fresh and new articles that can provide new information to your subscribers. If you publish stale and old news in your newsletter, there is a tendency that people or your subscribers already have read and known about them.

This will lose their interest in your newsletter and they wont get to read what is most important, your ads. They may not open or read any of your succeeding newsletters losing your intention in writing and publishing newsletters, to get them to visit your site and make a purchase.

5) Never use copyrighted materials such as photos and articles. This is outright plagiarism, you may get into a lot of trouble for this. You can lose your business and get sued over copyright infringement.

If you do not have the time to write your own articles, there are many willing and able professional article writers that can do it for you for a reasonable fee. All your investment in writing and publishing articles will be well worth it when you see your list build up and your traffic increasing.

Introduction To Pay Per Click Marketing

If you are starting an internet business, you probably know very little about internet marketing. There are several different ways that you can get traffic to your site, but for the purposes of this discussion, we are going to focus on pay per click marketing, which has become the most popular way to advertise an online business.

What is pay per click? Well, go to Google, and then type in a keyword or phrase that you want to search for. Then, at the top of the search results, you will see a section for what is called sponsored links or sponsored results. These sponsored links are paying a certain cost per click to be listed in this special section at the top of the listings. Each one of these websites pays a certain fee to Google each time someone clicks through to their site.

Each website that uses pay per click (PPC) has to place a bid on how much they are willing to spend per click for a certain keyword. The highest bidder is placed in the number one position, the second highest bidder is placed in the number two position, and so forth. Also, each bidder specifies how much they are willing to spend per day. Once their daily budget has been exhausted, the site is removed from the sponsored results until the beginning of the next 24-hour period.

Google is not the only search engine that has a PPC service available. Overture also has a service, as does Miva, and several others. Each service is tied to different search engines. If you use PPC with Google, your website will be listed on Google, AOL Search, and Ask.com. If you sign up for Overture, you will be listed on engines such as Yahoo, MSN, Netscape, and several others. Miva is tied to approximately 6 different search engines.

PPC marketing is expensive, especially if you are bidding on a highly sought after keyword or phrase. Keywords related to auto insurance, or mortgage quotes, can cost anywhere between $1 - $20 per click or even more if you want to be ranked in the top position. If the keyword you want to advertise for is not too popular, the click costs will be much less.

It is possible to spend thousands dollars on pay per click and make zero sales of the product or service you are selling. Conversion rates for PPC marketing are usually 2%-5%, meaning that only 2%-5% of the people who come to your website will actually order what you are selling. So, you need to take that into account when developing your marketing strategy. For example, if you have an online business where you sell DVD players and you spend $5 per click with a maximum budget of $500 per day for clicks received, that means you will receive 100 clicks per day ($500 / $5 = 100 clicks). If a single DVD player costs $200, and only 2% of the people who visit your website place an order, then you will receive 2 orders per day (100 clicks with a 2% conversion rate equals 2 sales). This means that you will make $400 per day, but your daily advertising expense is $500. So, you have a net loss of $100 per day. So, PPC advertising can be quite costly if it is not done carefully.

To try to generate a net profit with your PPC marketing efforts, you need to take into account that most people using a search engine are only looking for information, and are not planning on buying any products or services. So, make sure you bid on a keyword that will bring you customers who are looking to make a purchase and are not there just to gather information. For example, if you are selling vitamins on your website, and you bid on the keyword VITAMINS, you will receive a lot of traffic from people who will use your website merely to read about vitamins. Instead, you should bid on the phrase BUY VITAMINS. In this manner, you will only receive qualified traffic from people that are looking to buy vitamins, which will increase your sales and allow you to get more bang for your marketing buck.

PPC advertising is not necessarily appropriate for every online business. You need to have a lot of cash to burn in order to compete with the bigger businesses who are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars per month on pay per click. If you are operating a website for a small business, you need to diversify your internet marketing efforts by optimizing your website and increasing your link popularity so you can climb to the top of the search engines without having to pay for every click you receive. Also, you should consider having an affiliate program so that other websites will promote your business for free as long as you pay them a commission for any referrals they produce. The best way to approach internet marketing is to use several different methods that when put together result in an optimal cost situation for your business and attract a significant amount of targeted traffic to your website.

3. You chose a blog template

Secondly, you are going to decide on how you want to monetize your blog. If you don't have your own product (I highly recommend you create one as soon as possible), you should go about picking one, two or three top affiliate products (or services).

These affiliate products or services need to be 100% related to your blog theme (niche audience) if you want to get maximum results from your promotions.

HINT: you get to generate more affiliate sales if the affiliate product you recommend is highly targeted to a specific audience. In fact, the success rate of closing the sale depends on how precise you can target your market.

One of the best affiliate program directories can be found at AssociatePrograms.com

Here you get free access to thousands of pages of affiliate programs, useful tips, money-making articles, researched recommendations, and a helpful affiliate forum.

Besides affiliate programs you can also monetize your blog by applying for Google AdSense Program.

You can get full info about this service here:

Google.AdSense.com

The beauty of this program is that you get paid a percentage every time someone clicks on an AdSense ad from your blog.

Making money with affiliate programs require you to actively promote the affiliate product and you only get paid when you generate a real sale, and not just a click.

AdSense is the lazy way to making money with your blog.

After you decide which income stream you want to go after (I suggest you go with both affiliate products and Google AdSense) you need to take into consideration this...

Final tip - regardless your blog theme, if you want to make real money with blogs, you should copycat top blog experts into your field.

You need to spy on your competitors and find out how and why they are successful.

Try to contact them and ask them to share with you some tips about building a successful money-making blog. Most will gladly help you with some quick tips.

You'll never know when that secret tip will make you a top blog earner and well known expert into your field.

It's not that hard to find blog expert or spy on your competition. In fact, here's how you can quickly and easily find blog competitors:

1. go at Google.com

2. type into the search bar "your niche topic" + "blog"
e.g. "dog training" + "blog" or "acne treatment" + "blog"

I'm sure you get the picture. Once you find some listings go and browse the related Web Sites that fits your blog theme.

Make a list with top 10 blogs that you'd want to model.

3. Contact each owner of those 10 blogs and ask for help.

You don't have to be shy. Ask any question that comes into your mind. Ask your most burning questions. I highly suggest that you do not ask more than 3 quick questions.

Most people don't have time to write long e-mails. You'd want to keep your first e-mail quick and to the point.
