Business Blogs and Success – 11 Things You Need
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Blogs are not just used to share personal information any more. Business blogs are very common now, often resembling traditional websites.
Why are entrepreneurs blogging? Good business blogs are the darling of Google and other search engines – they often get indexed faster than static websites. They also can lend a very personal feel, something that customers like because it helps them to get a sense of who is behind the curtain of the company they are considering giving their business to.
11 Things You Need to Create Profitable Business Blogs
1. Key Word Research
Learn how to do it and keep doing it to determine if what you want to sell is both in demand and there isn’t too much competition. You can use the free Google keyword tool or, better yet, invest in quality keyword software like Market Samurai.
2. Your Own Domain Names
If you are serious about making money, you need to own your own domain names, no exceptions. .com sites are ideal as are .org sites.
3. Good Paid Hosting
Get an account that has something called ‘fantastico’ so you can easily install a blog or other programs on your sites with just a few clicks.
Above all, avoid free hosting.
No matter how good the options and savings may seem, free hosting does not give you the control and security you need to run a profitable business blog. A basic account with a good hosting company usually costs less than $100/year – a very small investment considering the advantages!
3. WordPress
Wordpress is a FREE blogging platform that is versatile and continually improving in ways that benefit online entrepreneurs. Learning WordPress basics can be quick when you have the right resources. You can be up and running within a day in some cases.
4. Great WordPress Themes
Themes are free or paid additions to WordPress that change the look and structure of the blog. There are many excellent ones to choose from that are suitable for business blogs, and the better ones (often paid) are very customizable so you can move images around, change colors, etc. quickly whenever you like.
5. WordPress Plugins
WordPress plugins are small pieces of software that allow you to do different things with your blog such as block spam, insert YouTube videos, install popup windows to capture subscriber’s names, etc.
Most WordPress plugins are free, but some may be worth paying for. You can find recommendations online.
6. Free Reports, E-series, Videos, etc.
Offer something enticing and free for visitors to sign up for so you can capture their names with a good autoresponder service.
This is a critical step to success. You must start to build a list of potential customers. And please avoid using a free autoresponder. You need the reliability and options that a good paid one offers.
7. Affiliate Link Cloaker if you are doing affiliate sales
Many successful online entrepreneurs sell their own products AND plenty of affiliate products, which is why they are so successful. If you don’t have your own product yet, you can begin with affiliate sales and add your own stuff when you’re ready.
8. PayPal or Merchant Account if you are selling your own products
9. Protection for Digital Downloads
If you are selling your own digital products like e-books and downloadable software, the paid service DLGuard is probably your most secure option. But you can learn how to protect your downloads adequately for free if you do a bit of research.
10. Great Blog Content
Keyword research will come in handy here, allowing you to target the headlines of your posts to what people are searching for in the search engines.
11. Professional Help – Marketing Forums, Coaches, Mentors
Last but not least, you need good information and feedback from professionals who have successful business blogs so you can find the best tools and techniques.
There are many great resources online, both free and for a fee. Ideally you will invest in a good coach or find a great mentor early on. Marketing pros often say that having professional feedback was a critical part of their success – so much so that they wish they had sought it sooner.

Bing SEO – How to Optimize Your Website For Bing
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
A few months ago, Microsoft launched their new search engine: Bing. Since it’s launch, there are many discussions and debates about whether Bing will overtake Yahoo and Google. Although it is still very early to talk about Bing disposing the big 2, the future seems good after several good reviews about Bing.
It does not matter whether Bing is going to be the new number 1 or number 2. The fact is, Bing is definitely going to capture a bigger market share compared to its predecessor MSN Live. So it is important that you know how to optimize your website for Bing. Now, let me share with you a few tips to get your website to rank high on Bing.
1. Name your HTML pages properly. If a page is talking about cleaning services, you should name your file as “cleaning-services.html”, using hyphen to separate each word. Using important keywords to name your files will definitely help in Bing optimization.
2. Make sure the title is relevant to the content of the page. Title tag optimization is very important when it comes to Bing optimization. Place important keywords at the start of the Title and make sure that the keywords you use are relevant to the content of the page.
3. Register your domain name early and don’t change it unnecessarily. The age of a domain plays a part when it comes to SEO. Bing tends to like older domain names. So you choose the right domain name from the beginning so that you don’t need to change it after a year.
4. Add more content to your website. Search engines love content, especially Google and Bing. So if you have articles, post them onto your websites. If not, add a blog to your site and update it regularly.
5. Keep your URL simple and static. URLs that change frequently are difficult to index. So make your URL static and keep it as simple as possible. Remember to place keywords in your URL.
6. Build links. Link building is an important process of SEO. If you want to rank high on Bing, get other sites to link back to your website. Bing will see your site as popular and reward you with high rankings.
7. Rank well on Google. If your site ranks well on Google, most probably you will rank well on Bing.
So start optimizing your website for Bing today and get more traffic to your website.

Starting Your First Blog And Getting Revenue For It.
November 16, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Do you want to start a new online business? Do you know about blogs? Blogs are one of the best – cheap ways to get publicity for your business just in days. Its very easy and really cheap. You only need a niche, some content, and webhosting (or just can use some free blog hosting like blogger.com)
Ok, blogs.. blogs.. do you know that you can start it today? And that you can get huge traffic for this blog?
You can start your online business in just minutes by creating blogs. A blog is an instant advertise solution for your own – online business. You can create it today and start adding new content to it (called “entries” or “posts”). When you create a new post for your blog, most “blog scripts” ping major “ping services” for you at the same time that you post the entry. Ping Is a free service to “send your blog entry notice” to search engines and lot of websites that use this service to know when a new blog is online, or just when a blog is updated. WordPress or Blogger (and more providers) ping your blog after you post a new entry.
Every day, thousands of new “webmasters” create new blogs, and use this blogs to get real income, using for example Google Adsense. Do you know that lot of “bloggers” earn thousands of dollars every month with blogs? Just search Google, you will find lot of articles and comments about bloggers` incomes!
You can start your blog / online business today:
1) You need to create the blog, you can use www.blogger.com as free blog hosting, or just get a new hosting in some good Hosting Provider and install your own Blog, using WodPress for example, get latest version (2.0.4) here: www.wordpress.org . If you selected last option, you will need a domain name, you can get one for low price, go to Godaddy (www.godaddy.com) domain names starting from $5.95. If you don’t want to spend money, just select blogger.com, its free, and you will get a new “subdomain blog” like (yourblognam.blogspot.com) Remember, blogger.com is owned by Google, so you will get indexed faster 
2) Select the name for your blog, and most important, select your Niche. Don’t create a new “general blog” where you will post info about internet business, webhosting, domain names, and more, if you select a niche, your blog will get “visitors” that only want to read this niche, and also, you will get more targeted and relevant Google Adsense ads in your blog.
3) Get content to post, just go to some Article Directory, and find the best articles, take it and post to your blog. Remember, don’t delete any info, or copyright of this article, you can take it only if you don’t modify it. I prefer write own content, to avoid that people read always the same info, and also the “Duplicate Content Penalty” that Google and other may apply if find that your site Is 100% similar to others.
4) After you created your blog, posted some fresh content and designed it (or just use some template, its most common) you need to “monetize it”. Its very easy, you only need to go to Google Adsense (www.google.com/adsense/) and join for a free account. Be sure of enter your correct info, because if you are new “adsenser”, Google will check your blog and after it will decide: Approve / Reject (only one day) After Google approved it, you just need to go to Google Adsense Home Page, login and copy & paste your Adsense Code where you want that Ads be displayed.
5) Promoting Your Blog: After all above points, you need to promote your blog, just submit it to all niche-related or general blog directories. They will send you a lot of real traffic. You also can submit your RSS feeds to all RSS directory found. Submit your blog to Google, Yahoo and MSN. Contact more bloggers about your niche and offer link exchange, post in other blogs and forums related and use your link in your signature and much more. Just use your mind, you can get lot of visitors free day after day to your blog, and with more visits, more Adsense income
Remember: you will need to post every two / three days a new post to get more fresh content, be original, write it, don’t just copy & paste. After two weeks you will see that your blog was approved in most “Blog directories” where you submitted it, that people is visiting your blog and sometimes they post comments or send feedback, and most important you will see like your Google Adsense Stats get impressions, clicks and $$$
Blogs are only one way to get online revenue, there are many other ways. If you want to see latest articles and resources for online business, just go to my own blog http://www.waysofmakemoney.com and you will find lot of fresh content about Online Business and also updated list of directories, rss directories, and more great tools for your business.

Just What Exactly is SEO?
November 16, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Just What Exactly is SEO?
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a controversial topic endlessly discussed in the online community. There are those say that the practice is unethical, as it aims to trick search engines, while others say that highly aggressive optimization is necessary for online survival. But just what exactly is SEO? Why is it important, and why is it so controversial?
You can think of SEO as one way of boosting traffic to your site. If you have set up a site for profit or promotion, you will find that even the best designed, informative site will not generate revenue without visitors. There are many avenues by which visitors will come to your site: advertising in print media such as magazines, online pay-per-click advertising, advertising in e-mail magazines, word-of-mouth, domain recognition (i.e., someone typing your site’s domain into their browser), and so on. Many webmasters hope to bring visitors to their site through search engine searches, as this is a form of free traffic. No matter which form of site promotion you choose, you will want to maximize its effectiveness. Pay-per-click ads should be carefully writing, domain names should be carefully chosen, and so forth.
SEO is a way of increasing the amount and quality of the traffic your site gets through search engine queries. For example: your site sells widgets. A potential customer types “buy widgets online” into a search engine and gets 24 pages of results. Most internet users will browse the first one or two pages of results only, meaning the sites appearing on the remaining 22 pages will have very little traffic from search engine queries. SEO is simply a collection of techniques for moving your site up higher on the list for that target search phrase.
Let’s take a moment to look at what SEO is NOT, by dispelling some myths about SEO.
SEO costs thousands of dollars and can only be performed by trained experts. FALSE. Making your pages and sites “friendly” to the search engines is relatively easy. Once you learn the basics by modifying existing pages, it will be easy to make optimized pages in the future. There are many free or inexpensive tools to help with your SEO tasks.
SEO will ensure my site is successful. FALSE. SEO is just one way of increasing traffic to you site. You should never neglect other forms of site promotion.
Since SEO is “manipulating” the system, it is unethical or even illegal. FALSE. SEO would only be illegal if it involves clearly illegal acts, such as credit fraud. Major search engines such as Yahoo and Google have set out guidelines for webmasters. SEO techniques that comply with these guideline are called “white hat” strategies, while those that do not are called “black hat” strategies. A recent term, “grey hat,” refers to tricks that fall somewhere in the middle. A common black hat trick is using hidden text. For example, black text on a black background will give the target keyword and variations dozens of times. Since human visitors do not see the text, much search engines “read” it, this will boost search engine rankings. Black hat strategies are not illegal, but they do conflict with search engine rules. Sites that use black hat tricks may enjoy good rankings for a few weeks or even months. However, when the search engines discover this, the site will be removed from their index. If a site is removed from a major index like Google or Yahoo, people will still be able to visit that site, but the chances of receiving traffic through search engine queries falls to zero. White hat SEO is not only ethical, it is imperative.

Six Easy Steps to Making Money with Your Blog
November 15, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
I’m going to give you 6 quick pointers on how to optimize your blog to drive traffic and hopefully earn some extra Adsense and affiliate income.
One huge benefit of using blogging as a means to create your site vs. trying to build your own is the ability to monetize your content immediately and not have to worry about page layout, graphics, hosting, domain names, and content management. This is a massive time saver when using the free bloggers such as Blogger or Wordpress hosting. The downside is that you cannot fully control the fine tuning of your site for specific optimizations. Nevertheless, you must let go of this desire and focus on your content – which is a very good thing.
So, let’s start with the key topics you need to consider when optimizing a blog:
1. The Blogging Service
2. Layout
3. Links
4. Keywords
5. Traffic
6. Site Tricks
1. The Blogging Service – this is a very important choice because some of the free blogging services do not allow you to place context ad such as AdSense on the free blogging service (they allow it if you host your own blog). Because of this I strongly recommend using Blogger as your free service since it is easy to use and is ad friendly.
2. Layout – since you are using a free service you must get over the desire to control your site. Let go! Most free blogging sites allow you to tweak the layout somewhat. There are some tricks you can use to easily keep your site a blog but at the same time add sections as if you were on your own site. For example, keep one blog entry for all of your favorite external links and descriptions. This is where you can continue your link sharing with other sites and continually add new ones. Now, add a specific link to this article on the sidebar so that there is a direct reference when the article gets archived. That way any readers will always find the links article and not have to search or stumble upon it. (Note, you can use this same technique for additional pages that refer to specific topics so that you have a directory of topics on your sidebars).
3. Links – besides the links I noted in #2 you should always use plenty of linking from within every article you publish. The internet values links and the more you use from your blog entries the better. Other sites pay attention to who’s linking to them and when they see a referral in their logs your appreciation level increases. Also, add your favorite affiliate and topic links to your sidebars.
4. Keywords – I cannot stress the importance of this but I’m not going to go into detail on keyword identification other than to say that each blog entry should focus on a SEO keyword phrase or name – especially the title. Be sure to use your titles carefully and use the same keywords in your entry. This will mark the blog entry to the keyword topic (remember, each blog entry is a separate web page that can be indexed). Also, be sure to include the keyword near the end of the blog entry as well.
5. Traffic – don’t forget to promote your blog to drive traffic! Use all the means possible to do this – forums, articles, reprint rights, etc. Be sure to post well written comments on other highly ranked blog sites. However, don’t make the mistake and write only a quick comment. Always write your responses in a way that is interesting and direct to the point. There’s enough free material out there to do this!
6. Site Tricks – another simple technique is to place hard coded links to your favorite blog entries and articles in the bottom of the Blog template. That way it will show up on every page. Eventually you can make this your site map which is very important to the search engines. The last thing you want is your blog links to be archived!!
And, of course, don’t forget to add your AdSense sections.
Just by completing these 6 simple tasks you can get your blog monetized in no time at all!

Make Lots Of Money With Niche Mini-Sites
November 12, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Many of you may be wondering with a niche mini-site is. A niche mini-site is a website that focuses on a very particular topic and it has only a handful of articles on it. The point of a niche mini-site is to make it quickly and focus on a specific keyword / topic that is very profitable with publishers. When trying to make money this way there are a few steps you need to consider before you start building your website.
Keyword Research
Before starting your niche mini-site you need to do a bit of research on the niche you are going to focus on. There are many niches out there but it might not be the right choice for you if there is too much competition and the niche doesn’t pay very well. The whole point is to make the website very quickly and then market it and then repeat the process with another website. One great tool for keyword research is SEO Tools. What this allows you to do is search for a keyword you are interested in and see how much traffic it receives. If it doesn’t have enough WordTrackers that have traffic over a 100 daily searches it might not be worth your while.
Once you have found your keyword and it has plenty of searches a day you need to check if it pays well. You can do this by going to Spyfu. You take your keyword and you put it in the search at the top and check what the Cost/Click amount is. If this amount is at least a minimum of a $1 a click then it is most likely worth your time.
Buy A Domain Name and Hosting
It is important that once you’ve picked your niche that you get a proper domain name and hosting for your website. There is nothing worse then seeing a website on one of those free hosting company websites where they advertise all their own stuff on the website. What you need is a catchy domain name that people can remember and that is easy to spell. A good place to get domain names is either NameCheap or GoDaddy. Once you have got that you need to get some hosting for your website as well. A good place I use is HostGator. They have cheap hosting that is reliable.
Creating A Website Design/Template
This part can be a little tricky if you are not familiar with web designing or programming. If you are then this should be a breeze and you should be able to setup a template that you can use multiple times with different colors for most of your niche mini-sites. If you are unfamiliar on how to do this I recommend possibly purchasing a template or maybe using a blog program like Wordpress.
Creating Content
Next step after having your website all setup is creating quality content for your mini-site. Do some research on your niche and spend the time to make quality articles. If your articles have no real value to the readers they won’t be very inclined to stay at the website for a long period of time or ever revisit the website. So for this step take your time and do it right. Spell check your articles and get a decent number of articles on your mini-site (7-15 articles should work).
Putting Ads On Your Site
Once you have created content on your website the next thing you will need to do is add some ads to your mini-site. This is your source of revenue and most likely the reason why you are making this mini-site in the first place. There are many different ways to advertise but probably the easiest one to start with is Google Adsense. It is very easy to signup and it only takes a short period of time to be accepted. All you need to remember is that you follow their policies and guidelines so that they do not shut down your account.
Advertising Your Niche Mini-Site
This step is very important. If no one knows about your site they will not visit it. You cannot expect to put a website on the Internet and have it automatically become a smash hit. It takes months of SEO and online marketing to generate traffic for your mini-site. Unfortunately with a mini-site you don’t spend that much time working on the site so what you need to do is market your website for a few weeks and just let the site sit and see how the traffic slowly builds with the website. The older the website the more likely it will get traffic because of various factors such as: links to the site, site age, indexed in search engines, etc. When advertising your mini-site there are numerous ways you can do this such as: article submissions, social networking/bookmarking, posting on blogs/forums, link exchanges, etc.
Final Step
Just wait a few months and hopefully if everything is done correctly money will start coming in. Don’t expect to see money right off the bat because you need traffic before you can generate income. In the meanwhile you can work on creating other mini-sites and do the same process on those sites as well. If you can create a whole group of these mini-site eventually you will get better at the process and start to see the returns you are looking for.
So try it out for yourself. Do the research and create yourself a niche mini-site and see how it goes. Remember to not give up and keep at it and eventually you will become very successful making money online!

8 Resources To Build A Money Making Blog Quickly
November 7, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Building blogs quickly is an essential skill to have if you are creating a virtual internet empire. The quicker you build a money making blog the quicker you can start earning money from that blog from adsense, affiliate products, or flipping the blog. I’m going to share with you some resources you can use to build your blogs quickly.
Resource 1
DomainTools.com is an essential tool to have in your niche blog building arsenal. DomainTools has too many tools to name in this article, but one essential tool is the “Domain Search” tool. The domain search tool will check to see if a domain name that you would like to use is available on any of the popular top level domains. DomainTools.com shares valuable information that you can use to your advantage. It will let you know if the domain name has been previously registered, allow you to look up the current owner’s information if it is public, and it will even make suggestions for other domain names you can consider using if the name you want is not available.
Resource 2
The next resource that you need is a reliable domain name registrar. GoDaddy.com is one of the best registrars around. Not to mention they have great advertising. GoDaddy.com is not the best web host. I’ll tell you whose the best in the next resource tip.
Resource 3
If you want reliable, up-to-date, and flexible hosting then HostGator.com is the domain host for you. I’ve used HostGator.com for two years now and I’ve never had a major problem of any kind with them. If you do have a problem simply get on the phone anytime day or night and give their customer service a call. Their customer service is excellent. HostGator uses the latest versions of PHP, cPanel, and WordPress. Installation of WordPress takes a few clicks of your mouse button.
Resource 4
Once you have WordPress installed you will need to customize the look and feel for your specific needs. The best way to do this is to use find a custom blog theme. You can hire a designer to create one specifically for you. You can find them at SitePoint.com, Forums.DigitalPoint.com, and the WarriorForum.com. Use Google.com to search for premium themes or free themes.
Resource 5
Once you find a theme that you would like to use you will want to use it for more than one blog or simply change a blog’s appearance over time. The easiest way to do this is to change the header.
My favorite FREE resource to do this is XHeader. You can go to XHeader.com and pick up this tool for free. XHeader allows you to create professional looking headers in minutes without having to use expensive graphic design software.
Resource 6
If you consider writing content for your blogs to be a chore rather than fun you will want to outsource the task of writing your blog content. Shelancers.com provides an excellent resource for hiring free lance writers. You can hire writers to create forum posts, blog posts, articles, and even sales page copywriting.
Resource 7
You’re creating these blogs to make money if you are creating a blog strictly for adsense income then you know where to get the information to implement adsense. However, you may want to market affiliate products on some of your blogs. Finding the best affiliate products at ClickBank.com can be a time consuming chore.
The resource you’ll want to use to speed up your research is CBEngine.com. CBEngine.com will allow you to search for ClickBank products based on a wide variety of search criteria that is much more comprehensive than ClickBank.com offers.
Resource 8
Finally you will need a good keyword research tool. Google’s free keyword tool is one that I use quite often. But most of the time I need to do more in-depth research than Google’s tool provides. I then turn to Market Samurai. Market Samurai is an awesome niche research tool that gives you an incredible amount of information on a group of keywords. Check it out at MarketSamurai.com
If you want to really speed up your niche website building then I suggest to check out AkilDeals.com’s membership. AkilDeals.com provides several income generating niches each month with custom themes, graphics, content, keywords, and affiliate research. Go to http://AkilDeals.com/memberdeal/
Seo Myths That Make Me Laugh

If there is one thing we can count on in life it is where there are people involved there will also be myths. We humans have an inbuilt desire to find patterns in whatever we do. This skill has proven a great advantage to us over the course of time but unfortunately for us it can also create problems. The thing is with humans and patterns, if we can’t find a pattern that we recognize or that makes sense to us we are experts at creating our own. This is especially true in the case of SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Our desires to find patterns to help us rank higher in the search engines knows no bounds, obviously in the past and the present this has helped us to learn methods to improve our performance in the search engines using both “Black Hat and “White Hat” methods. The spin off from this is that it has also helped us to create and invent SEO myths, some are more believable and others are just outright crazy. Whilst searching the webmaster forums and various SEO blogs you’ll often come across some mad ideas, some of them so stupid it makes me wonder if some people make up some of this rubbish just to gain the attention.
With the low cost of domain names and shared hosting anybody can set-up a website and claim their own piece of the internet real estate. You can optimize your site reasonably well yourself without a great deal of advanced knowledge just by getting the basic fundamentals right. Anybody can start there own website and build a successful online presence as long as they remember it takes time and effort. The first place most new webmasters will start there research in order to gain knowledge of how to get their sites ranking in the search engines for their specific keywords are popular webmaster forums and “how to” type SEO sites and blogs. A very popular breeding ground for SEO myths.
When you start trawling the forums it is very easy to start taking everything you read as the word of god, especially true if you’re an inexperienced webmaster just starting out. It’s important for you to understand that forums are a breeding ground for incorrect information and myths. Most of the time these inaccuracies will eventually be pointed out by someone more knowledgeable but if you’re the newbie that reads this information before the inaccuracies have been corrected then you could be absorbing information that is inaccurate and sometimes even laughable.
You’ll often come across stuff that is just down right hilarious such as, SEO is quick, SEO can only be mastered by highly intelligent people, SEO guarantees you’ll rank number one, Google has a vendetta against me, Google is the only search engine, you will not get caught for spamming, people on forums are SEO experts, hidden text is ok because it works, it is easy to distinguish Black Hat SEO from White Hat SEO. These are just examples that I came across recently. There are many SEO myths around the internet, some more believable than others. Just remember not to take everything you read as fact as this isn’t always the case.
