How to Get Customers to Your Website.

If you are into marketing on the Internet, you will be marketing a website of one kind or another. Maybe you own the URL of that web site or youre promoting a generic link which contains your affiliate code.

Whether you own the site or not, the problem remains the same - how do you get enough interested visitors to your site, so that, if they like your product and can afford it, they will have a chance to buy it, before they get bored and move on.

This is the largest common problem that every single Internet marketer has, and it is called attracting targeted traffic, getting relevant visitors or something similar. All the phrases come to the same thing ultimately. If no one sees your product they cannot buy it or if your visitors are mainly young people interested in tennis, it is no good trying to sell them bird cages.

Therefore, you obviously need as many visitors interested in your product, as you can handle. Which means that you need to be highly ranked in the search engines and directories so that people can find your site. The biggest and most often-used search engine is Google. So, how do you become highly ranked in Google?

There are millions of books and ebooks on the subject, but without exception, the serious ones come to the same conclusion (unless they were written by self-interested safe-list or traffic exchange owners) and that conclusion is that you need links to your site.

Not many people will honestly admit to knowing how Google ranks sites in its search engine, but it is generally agreed that the more sites linking to your site the better. This has lead some webmasters to try exchanging links with each other. It sounds an easy way to get links but it doesn’t work because Google can recognize reciprocal links. The best links are one-way links, because it proves that someone places enough value on your website to want to be associated with it. These are called back links.

Therefore, the real problem is how to get enough back links to your site to persuade Google (and the others) that you run an important enough site to rank it highly for your chosen keywords, which should be relevant to the content of your site. How do you do that?

Well, there are many strategies such as traffic exchanges, safelists, FFAs, forums and writing articles. To be blunt, the first three are a complete waste of time. I own a safelist and have wasted man-hours on traffic exchanges, all for nought. Posting to forums can be worthwhile, but ONLY if the link on your post is a follow link. If it is not, it doesnt count and most are no follow links. This means you will have to research the forums to find out where it is worth while you posting to (more on this later). That leaves writing articles as the ONLY sure-fire way to get solid back-links to your site based on keywords that are relevant to your site.

So, you write an article on a subject relevant to your site stuffed (but not over-stuffed) with relevant keywords and then what? Thats easy! You search Google for article directories and blogs, sign up to a couple of dozen and post your article to them.

And that is how you get the best links to become highly ranked, so that people can find you, so that they have a chance to buy what you are selling. The only catch is that Google will expect to see new links appearing on a regular basis, which means writing and posting time after time after time after time ad infinitum. Or does it?

Yes, it does, unfortunately. But the process can be automated and automation is the key to online marketing success. Set up a proven, successful process and let it run ” day and night: all day and all night! I use a system that helps turn an article into thousands of variations and posts them to thousands of search engines, directories, lists and websites, creating literally thousands of back-links!

But don’t think that these variations are just spun! (The industry standard way of creating article variations is to use spinning software to substitute synonyms and pseudo-synonyms eg crimson for scarlet in a random way. This works to a certain degree but can produce pure gibberish too sometimes - who would recognize Crimson O’Hara?). The system I use does not employ this method, but still produces thousands or variants all written by human hand. Then it sends them out to article directories and blogs etc.. Thousands of them. In fact today, there are over 11,000 sites on their list and the list is kept fresh on a monthly basis. Most similar lists are not well maintained because it is so time-consuming to do. Therefore, many contain lots of dead, useless links.

This system will take your article, create thousands of variations and then post them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line, which you can also vary. But not only that! It only posts your article to sites that want sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you may choose! So you could write say, three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 150 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 150 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 75 sites a day.

That would give your site at least 3,000 links in a month or 100 a day ” all for 2-3 hours work! If you wrote one article a day (an hours work) and it got posted to only 1,000 relevant sites, you would have 30,000 relevant links in a month. And that does not include the bloggers, ezine publishers and webmasters who paste your article into their publication with your link. You could easily end up with 40-50k links. But it doesnt even stop there, because the article will be live for years and years, quietly beavering away at getting you noticed by the search engines and the people searching them. How many sales could that get you?

If you would like to see an example of this systems output, you are reading one ” this article and if you would like to find out how you can do the same, just follow the link in my by-line attached to it.

Understanding SEO and SEM For Marketing Success

If you are new to Internet marketing, you may have some questions about the difference among search engine optimization and search engine marketing. These core marketing subjects are very different but share a number of similarities as well.

Search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing are similar in many ways. Each online marketing discipline requires a strong understanding of purpose and functionality. The practice of SEO requires a basic knowledge of search engines and how they work at their core. Search engine marketing requires an understanding of online marketing and advertising.

Both internet marketing methods may appear as difficult subject matter but they are relatively easy to understand. The complexity comes in the actual implementation of SEO and SEM programs. SEO can be explained as techniques that used to drive your search engine ranking. Simply state, where your site is ranked on major search engines is based on your understanding and implementation of SEO best practices.

Search engine marketing is the practice of online advertising via major search engines. Even though Google is the largest and most well know, there are literally hundreds of smaller ad networks. Each network functions in much the same way. Advertisers place online ads throughout the network and when a browser clicks, you pay a fee. This is true regardless of conversion.

SEO is different than SEM because it is based on natural or organic search results versus paid results. Search engine optimization techniques can be better defined as on page optimization and off page optimization. On page optimization directs you on how to design your web page in an effort to improve ranking and search ability. Said another way, on page optimization is closely tied to web site design and off page is more associated with factors outside your website itself.

The result is that SEO drives organic traffic. That is to say that after users complete searches on major search engines like Google, the resulting list is based on search engines returning the best result determined by their unique algorithm. When users click on these results you do not pay. Organic search is usually referred to as free traffic.

SEM is different than search engine optimization for one fundamental reason. With SEM, you pay when someone takes an action. Unlike traditional advertising you do not pay for your advertisement to appear, only when someone clicks on your ad. Your cost varies based on how competitive your keywords are and where you want your ad to display.

Online marketing is based on a good understanding of SEO and SEM best practices. These internet marketing subject areas are common among today’s marketing professionals but rarely do you find the level of expertise needed for success. Learn more about these subject ares with some research and be sure to subscribe to an SEO newsletter or blog. As you gain more knowledge implement new techniques and improve your rankings.

SEO and Internet Based Marketing

by joe cotroneo

Search Engine Optimization (or SEO for short) is a method of making a website easier to find via search engines. A lot of this has to do with the way that the content of a website is written. When properly optimized, a website, article or blog can be found easily by a web user searching for relevant words or phrases - without having to look through the literally millions of websites in the net for what they are trying to find.

This is only the most rudimentary explanation of search engine optimization; so what does this mean to you as a writer? This explanation should have given you an inkling of the importance of using the same words and phrases which people enter into search engines when they are looking for something. These search terms are known as keywords and key phrases in the search engine optimization business. BY using these search terms in your content, you make it a lot easier for people to find your content on the web. Let’s suppose for a moment that you need to write an article about fly fishing - naturally, you’ll want to use the phrase “fly fishing” in the article, as this is one of the most commonly searched for phrases which your target audience will be looking for.

When you use these terms throughout your writing, they are far more likely to be found by people searching for these phrases. Let’s say that you are writing an article about fly fishing. For the purposes of search engine optimization, it’s best to use the phrase “fly fishing” in the article, since this is likely to be the phrase which your target audience will be searching for. How many times should you use this phrase in your article? If you are writing this piece for someone else, then that is entirely up to your client’s preferences. You will see articles which are written with SEO in mind that might contain the keyword or key phrase only in the title and others which use the keyword as many as 25 times! It’s all up to the client’s specifications with regards to the placement of keywords in the article or articles.

Should you use a single keyword in this article or a group of keywords which are relevant to each other? This will again depend on what the client wants. You’re not the only one working with the client in many cases; your client may be subcontracting this work to you and have clients of their own who have criteria that they want met with the article. Freelance writers see a lot of this situation; for instance, a set of articles to be written for search engine optimization which come with a detailed set of instructions for how they are to be written. When there are instructions, you should try to follow them as closely as humanly possible.

Sometimes when writing articles for search engine optimization, you will encounter a situation when some extra clarification is needed. In these cases, you should get in touch immediately with the client to ask for any further information which you may need - this will prevent delays in delivery of the finished article and ensure that the article you write is one which meets the needs of the client.

Ezine Article Submission Really Works

by Molly Submin

Article submission sites are a great way to generate traffic to your website. By submitting your article to article submission sites you also increase the back links to your website. This is a great way to get more notice to your website by the search engines.

Anyone can do article marketing regardless of what field the person was in before. By writing topics that one is very familiar in, this could help boost the credibility of ones work.

Don’t use article spinning software. A lot of article marketers are using these software with their projects to augment the number of their articles. Although these tools can offer you abundant copies, they cannot in anyway guarantee their quality. So, be willing to hand write your articles or hire ghostwriters to do it for you.

Returning visitors are received with article marketing. Regular submission of articles becomes the source of information for others. That makes the visitors come to your site again and again.

The submission process is a breeze and some sites offer article stats. Like how many times the article has been downloaded, how many times it has been sent to friends, and how many articles you’ve submitted

Tell your readers what they can expect from reading your article. The best place to do so is the article title. Sell the benefits to entice them to read. Remember that you only have a few seconds to grab their attention.

To be successful in article marketing over the long term you need to submit original, interesting articles regularly to high traffic articles directories such as Top Rank articles. If you are consistent and diligent and follow the guidelines in this article, you will find that article marketing is a highly effective strategy for website promotion.

Once you have written an article, your next step is to publish it. You can do this by submitting manually to the individual article directories, which is very time consuming, or you can use an article submission service.

The best place to start in writing a good article is finding an interesting topic. This must be something relevant that a reader can relate to. Once a topic has been selected, it is time to write about it.

Your article should definitely target a pretty large number of readers. However, when you are writing your article, try to picture only one person whom you will address your article to. This makes your article more amiable, thereby keeping the attention and interest of your readers.

There are hundreds of article directories that let you freely publish your articles to their sites. You can search of these directories using your favorite search engine. Some directories are much better than others.

Using Subdomains, Pros and Cons

by Ricardo d Argence

Some businesses are concerned that if they use subdomains they won’t get the attention they deserve through the search engines, or that the site overall will not present the right look. Let’s check the facts on subdomains.

The definition of a subdomain is a secondary or substitute domain plateau. A regular domain looks as follows: www.domain.com. A sub domain looks like this http://subdomain.domain.com. The difference is that www is not at the front of subdomains.

Subdomains rank efficiently well. Search engine spiders and bots are not prejudiced when it comes to the ranking of subdomains and regular domains. As long as your site has the right SEO keywords and has been optimized, whether you have a subdomain or regular domain name doesn’t make a difference at all.

We will act like there are a lot of categories on your site. Should you make a submission to a search engine, you might submit every subdomain in its unique category yet obtain a nice ranking nonetheless.

When referenced by a search engine, a subdomain would show up with its own indicator and directory. One stategy is to create subfolders on subdomains so that search engines such as google will read the folder as a unique site.

People worry about their subdomain getting banned if the main domain name is banned. If the main domain is banned, it will have an effect on the subdomain. You see this happen often in adult content sites that have violated certain agreements that they have signed with a provider that does not want a domain used for adult material.

Using a subdomain is not wrong. It is perfectly ok to make each subdomain into its own division. If the answer is no, obtain a main domain name and keep that as your official landing page.
