Five Quick Tips For Getting Your Blog On The First Page Of Google
November 17, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
It is so easy to make money with a blog. Whether the purpose of your blog is to get traffic to your sales page or to sell affiliate products or to get Adsense clicks, getting your blog onto the first page of Google can be done quickly and easily.
Using the following quick tips you could get listed on the first page of Google for some keywords within a month or two, depending on how competitive your niche is. A video game site that followed these tips got on the first page of Google, in the fifth spot, for a popular search term when the site was less than one month old.
Here are the five quick tips for getting to the first page of Google:
1. Put some original content on your blog. Post at least once a day but not more than every two to three hours. It doesn’t look good if you are posting every few minutes. Continue adding new content regularly. Some of the content can be duplicate content (from an article directory or private label rights articles) but the more original content the better.
2. When you have at least five posts with original content then submit your blog to Google’s sitemap. It’s not hard, and it only takes a few minutes. As long as you have a blog that looks authentic and is not filled with scraped content, this is a good start to getting noticed by Google.
3. Write some original articles and submit them to article directories such as EzineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleAlley, and SearchWarp. Do not submit more than one a day since it is better to not inundate the article directories or they might think you are spamming them. It is very important to have a good resource box with links back to your site.
4. Submit your RSS feed to at least fifty sites. This can be done in less than a couple of minutes using RSS Submit (RSSFeedsSubmit), a great piece of software that automatically submits your feed to more than fifty sites. The price is very reasonable (less than $50) but if you don’t want to spend any money and would rather do it by hand, Robin Good sells a list of 55 RSS submission sites for a very small fee.
5. Get your URL link listed in as many places as possible. Submit your site to directories like DMOZ. Answer questions at answers.yahoo and include your URL with your signature. Leave comments on blogs that are in a related niche to yours, again including your URL in the signature. Do a search with the phrase “keyword add url” and add your URL at sites that allow you to do it for free. “Keyword” would be replaced by one of your keywords for your niche. Submit your blog to Technorati. Submit your original posts to social bookmarking sites like Digg, Netscape, Redit, Plugim, and so on. Be sure to tell friends to vote for your submissions at the social bookmarking sites.
These five quick tips will give your blog a powerful boost and get your blog on the first page of Google in a very short time. Within days you should be getting traffic from Google as you rise in the search engines. And you did it with spending little or no money.
Search Engine Submission – A Complete Waste of Time?
November 13, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
There are a lot of things you need to do when optimizing a website for search engines: research keywords, optimize the content, build links, monitor your rankings, and so on. But there are also things that are not worth doing simply because they don’t bring any results. Search engine submission is one of such useless SEO tasks website promoters seem to be doing on a regular basis. All the major search engines including Google, Yahoo! and MSN have special forms where webmasters can submit new sites for inclusion into the search engine index. These forms do not in any way guarantee that your website will be included into the search results, needless to say submitting to them won’t help you achieve higher search engine rankings. However there are tons of SEO companies and services of all sorts and fashions that will offer you to submit your website to hundreds of search engines for a fee. Moreover there are webmasters who actually fall for this scam and waste their money on this useless service. It’s not that these companies won’t do what they promise; it’s just the fact that what they do won’t benefit you in any way.Even if submitting to search engines was helpful there would still be just a handful of engines you should care submitting to: Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask and maybe a couple of regional ones. They all have free forms with only a couple of lines to fill and you can submit your site yourself in a couple of minutes. There’s not much sense in doing it however. You can get your website indexed by all the major search engines much faster by simply getting a link from a website that is already an established authority in the search results. Simply find a website related to your niche and get a link from it. The best option is to find a website that is often updated and therefore often crawled by the search engine bots. Do you know of a popular blog in your niche that allows dofollow comments? Simply post a comment there and you’ll get your website crawled and indexed within a coulpe of hours or so plus you’ll get some link juice. You can submit your website to social bookmarking sites and again it’ll be much better than submitting to the search engines, not to mention paying someone to do this. Are you planning to optimize your website and get it rank well for your targeted keywords? If yes, you’ll need to build links to it anyway. So start doing it and your website will be indexed and what’s more important ranked by the search engines with no search engine submission whatsoever.Beware of the companies offering search engine submission services. It’s nothing more than your money down the drain. If you’re really want to get your website rank high and enjoy good search engine traffic you’d better focus on SEO and link building as an alternative to search engine submission.

First Steps On The Internet – Hints And Tips
November 4, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
I have spent the last weekend researching and reading around internet marketing.Call me sad!What is it exactly? Is it something you or I can do to boost our incomes on a part time basis and perhaps even get a full time career from it?
Internet marketing seems to me to be a good way to make extra money while working in another field or it also can become a full-time business. If you want to work from home, to set your own hours, and earn a decent income, then Internet marketing may be the right for you. It will certainly be challenging but it will be a new adventure if you are up for it.You will be able to be creative and you will have to solve a lot of problems along the way but ultimately you will have more control over your career. By starting part time you can test and refine and keep the costs down.
So what does it mean? Simply selling goods and services online but not necessarily your own.
I started this process last October and have spent a considerable amount of money so far trying out various programmes. There are certainly a lot out there and some of them I wouldn’t touch with a bargepole now, others are great for parts of what you need to know once you have the basics out of the way.
It certainly pays to sit down and work out an internet marketing strategy. There is no need to go full on and have an all singing all dancing website these days, but you can have a blog.However don’t be fooled into thinking that you can get one up and running in a couple of minutes as some would have you believe. I have spent most of this morning sorting out bits and pieces in the background to one of my blogs for example,but there is no doubt that as an entry into marketing online they are quick and easy once you know how. It will pay to look at the tutorials and spend a bit of time on the basics. Obviously if you have more money than time, then you can pay someone else to sort it out for you but it is quite straightforward as long as you are prepared to spend a bit of time on it. Try http://www.wordpress.com, its free and simple to use.
Why blog?
Blogs help you feel part of a community.You connect with like minded people and once you have some expertise and share it in a blog, you connect with a lot more people and increase your chances of successfully marketing on the internet.
They can help boost your search engine optimization (SEO). Google loves blogs as they are content rich and regularly updated (or they should be)
They can allow you to sell products and services. Blogging has been around for many years now and has only been used comparatively recently as a way of making money online. They can certainly play a huge part in an internet marketing business.Blogs have become something of an art form and there are even competitions now to come up with the best of the year.With Wordpress and Blogger they are easy to set up but you do need to do a little work to get them running properly and even more work to get visitors to them.
By posting informative articles together with your more personal posts you can allow others to reprint it with your links to your blog and you can bring in organic traffic for free. If you are handy with a video camera and have a bit of experience around social networking sites then you can even have a video blog.
By posting a few times a week, you aim to keep a steady flow of people to your site and increase your rankings in the search engines.
Depending on the amount of time you have available to put into your online marketing strategy,you could build a blog, get affiliate links,get AdSense(more on this in later articles)and join forums. Really there is an endless list and when you take advantage of the many resources you have online, you will be able to control the amount you earn. It’s a steep learning process but will be worth it long-term.

5 Simple Steps to Boost the Conversion Rate of Your Website Traffic

Redesign – Many webmasters ignore this aspect; but when your website takes about 30 seconds to load, few visitors would stick around. If your website is facing a similar problem, you have found the reason #1 why there is an upward movement in the bounce rate of your website traffic. To begin with, for instance, you can remove the java scripts and optimize the images if any that are responsible for the slow loading of your website.
Recommend – While your prospects are already confused and lost amidst the chaos of your competitors offering similar products or services, you can do them a favor by recommending a package that seems worthy and picked by most of your delighted customers. More often than not, visitors come confused with an open mind to recommendation. Hence, they tend to leave a site when they don’t get any guidance.
Freebies – Few things can elicit response as positive as freebies. A free trial of your products or services for a limited period, for example, helps your visitors decide if they want to purchase a full-version of your products, when they use the free-trial offer. Freebies are also a reason why a visitor would come back to your website to return your favor by making a purchase when they don’t want to buy a big package.
Communication – Among all the reasons of a customer leaving your website within a couple of minutes of their arrival is they often feel helpless and lost looking for help and guidance to use your website. Having a live chat support on your website can go a long way in retaining the outgoing visitors.
Web Analytics Tools – Web Analytics tools are extremely handy in figuring out the sources of traffic to your website and other critical details of traffic conversion dynamics. It is imperative that your website has web analytics tool in order to measure the sources of traffic to your website. Besides, a meticulous analysis of traffic and other data in the web analytics tool can critically reduce the bounce rate on your website.
