If you’re into Internet marketing as an affiliate for someone else’s program, how are you advertising your opportunity? I mean, are you just putting out the same old stale page that everybody else uses, or are you building your own page and list building at the same time?Unless it’s specifically stated in your affiliate agreement, and the means you use isn’t illegal, such as spamming, you can use any means to sell a product. Generally, affiliate pages, emails, and so on are there for your convenience. They at least get 80% of the people moving, who might otherwise take no action at all. Here’s the thing: 20% of the people will be active affiliates, and they’re having greater success because they’re treating the affiliate program as part of their own businesses. They’re more creative, they get more sales, and everyone’s happy.Setting up a list building page to sell your affiliate product is something you should take action on. Give a review of the product away on your list building page, to entice people to sign up for your list. If you’re going to do that, be sure that you can stand behind the product, that you have used it, and proved that it works. The review can be 250 words or less.Your review should include information on the features that benefit the user. It should also give the cons of the product. Nothing is 100% great. Usually, there are small things that you would change, if you had a magic wand. Let people know those, too. If your review is too glowing, it won’t seem real. Make it real. Here’s what I mean:Internet marketing expert, Tellman Knudson’s My Fist List is an easy step-by-step list building information product for new Internet marketing businesses. You will learn how to set up your own domain and web hosting services so that you can get your list building pages onto the Web quickly and easily.

The best part is how to find a reliable autoresponder and how to set it up to make money for you on autopilot. My First List takes all the thinking and questioning out of list building for you.The only drawback that some might see is that you will need to spend money to get the system working, but you know what they say, “You have to spend money to make money.” And in my experience, paid is always better than free.But the very best thing about this system is that it works! I’ve tried it, and am making money with it already, though I just bought it last week. How great is that? If you want more information about My First List, just fill in your first name and email address and we’ll get it to you right away. For more information visit to www.mailing-lists-profit.com. This might not be as good example an example as a straight affiliate page because an affiliate link for My First List would lead to another squeeze page. People might be shy about opting-in twice before they even see what the product is about, unless they’re very excited by your review. However, if the product you’re selling has a sales page or it’s just to their main website, writing something like this and adding it to a list building shouldn’t be a problem. This is just an example.Anyway, after they opt-in to your list and confirm their membership, the first autoresponder message should be a “thank you” page. Also give people a bit more information about the product or Internet marketing program, and an opportunity to buy or join by including your affiliate link. This is very easy to do and you should always be list building, any way you can.

How common is common sense when it comes to SEO?
If you are searching for “cars” in a search engine, what kind of websites do you expect to show up? shoes? pets? Obviously not. All search engines have the responsibility of serving their customers by showing them what they want. Searching for relevant websites has always been a big challenge for the search engines too, as there are zillions of websites out there on the web. More over, search engines have to fish out the best in seconds! So, any website which has all the criteria that a search engine demands, would show up at the top.
Search engines are not looking for great miracle sites. They are looking for professional businesses that are serving their customers well. Search engines don’t want to show unprofessional, crappy sites to their customers. How do search engines looks for the best sites? What algorithms do they use? Do we need to learn those complex algorithms? Nope. You need not worry about how and what methods they use, as long as you maintain your professional approach to your business. Let the search engines worry about how to capture you. And surely they will, if you are not into any kind of spamming. However, do you show up at the top? Or do you show up hundred pages after? That depends on the competition and the product demand.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the science of increasing traffic to a website from search engines via “natural” (”organic”) search results. You do not need an extensive seo training to achieve this. However, if you take a short seo course or attend a short seo program or even a basic seo workshop, you will be in good shape. Even reading a seo book or ebook will give that knowledge about organic seo. Even simpler and quicker way is to go thru our free couse on organic seo at www.SeoCollege.org
The Google way: Whenever a customer searches using certain key words, google picks up the best sites out there in the market. How does Google do it? Google approach is very simple. It looks for what you are looking for! It looks for sites that you are searching for. What do you normally look for? …yes exactly. You look for the best sites to match your keyword. What do you mean a best site? A site that is designed well? A site which looks well? A site that sounds well? None of them. Google looks for 3 things. PROFESSIONALISM, POPULARITY AND a perfect match of your KEY WORDS.
Lets take an example. Lets say you are looking for “flower”. Google will quickly search for all domain names in its database, which have the word “flower” in it. The assumption google makes here is that, if a domain name contains the word “flower”, then, that site has to be dealing with “flower”. Unfortunately there are thousands of websites which have this name in it. Which of these sites must show up on the first page on google? and which one of them must show up at the top? Adding to the complexity, there could be many websites which do not use the word “flower”, even though they are dealing with “flower”.
The second approach that Google takes is to look for sites that have the word “flower” in their HOME page. The assumption that Google makes here is that, If a website is dealing with “flower”, then it must be talking about it in its home page. What if the home page is filled with only images of flowers and no text in it? those sites would loose out in the race! What if all those sites have the word “flower” in their Home pages? then Google will look for sites which have more than one word. More the merrier! This is called word density. This is where many SEO experts try to trick google by placing the word repeatedly with no proper sentence formation. This is called “Key word stuffing”. Google has now caught up with this trick and it can now identify such sites and ban them from indexing. Google is continuously evolving to identify such tricks played by small timers to win the ranking. The winning strategy here is that the Home Page must talk about the product or service that it is offering in length just like any other professional website. Professionalism is what Google is looking for. Read more of SEO at www.SeoCollege.org

1. Cloaking
When website or web pages are set up to display different content for a search engine spider versus a human user. Cloaking delivers one version of a page to an Internet user and a different version to a search engine. The cloaked page is packed with keywords and phrases that the website wants to be highly rank for so.
It is done by cloaking programs that compare the IP address of the requesting party to a database of known IP addresses from specific search engine spiders. If the IP address matches one on the list, it serves a page that was specifically written for the search engines.
There are good reasons for cloaking as well, such as targeted advertising, but if you are trying to manipulate your rankings in the search engines then your site could be penalized or banned.2. Spamming (Keyword Stuffing)
“Stuffing” long lists of keywords into the content and the code on a page that makes the page unreadable.
Ever seen a web page with a very awkwardly written first paragraph where a certain word is repeated ad nauseam? Here’s an example:
“We sell the best father’s day gifts for father’s day. If you like to celebrate father’s day we can help with the best father’s day gifts for father’s day.”
It’s obvious that the page is trying to rank well for “father’s day gifts.” This is keyword spamming or stuffing but it is just the tip of the SEO iceberg; there is probably keyword stuffing happening in the code: in the meta tags, invisible text, alt tags, title tags, comment tags, etc. If the word or phrase is repeated too often Google can place a filter to reduce the site’s rankings or simply ban the site. Keyword density can be tricky but, as a general rule, Big Oak shoots for 3% to 12% of all text on a page to be our targeted keywords.3. Hidden Text
If text or links are invisible to the website visitor but can be seen by search engine spiders then they are considered hidden.In the past people would simply make the text too small to read by using a 1 point font or make it the same color as the background. Now that search engines have built in algorithms to combat that, spammers are using cascading style sheets (CSS) to hide text or using tags set to not display text on the page. It is boils down to this: it is considered hidden if the text or link is invisible to the website visitor but can be seen by search engine spiders.Search engines can easily spot this today so it is best to avoid it altogether.4. Doorway Pages
Pages that solely exist to rank well in the search engines. Sometimes these pages are ugly, containing paragraph after paragraph of meaningless text. Most the time doorway pages are orphaned pages meaning they are not part of the site’s regular navigation.
A black hat SEO firm may use software to generated doorway pages. They plug a few keywords in and the software proceeds to generate pages where much of the content is duplicated from other pages on the site except they swap out the keywords.5. Redirect Pages
Keyword-stuffed landing pages that quickly redirect to the real page. These pages don’t necessarily contain content that any human would be interested in. They are meant to show up high in search engine results pages (SERPS). When you click on one of these pages from the results, you are redirected to another page–usually a high-pressure sales page. In other words, the page you click to see is not the page you actually get to read.
Sneaky redirection pages are set up in groups. They target similar and related keywords or phrases. The only links on these pages are links to other pages in the same family creating a false sense of related linking. The redirect can be automatic, done with a meta refresh command or through other means such as mouse moving while on the redirect page.6. Duplicate Content or Websites
Setting up multiple websites with the same content or having several pages on a site with essentially the same information but different keywords inserted here and there. You see the duplicate content method a lot with travel-oriented sites. A “template script” is written then regional terms, such as state or city names, are swapped out on each page.
Of course, someone may have copied the content on your site and put it on their site. The search engines do not make any distinction on who had the content first. Make sure no other site is using your content. You can do this by performing a search using some of your text with quotation marks (”) around it. If you do find someone is using your original copy visit here to learn more about copyright infringement: http://www.google.com/dmca.html.7. Code swapping
Submitting a text-only version of a web page to the search engines in an effort to gain high rankings for that page. Once the desired positions within the search engines are achieved the search-engine friendly text page is swapped out for a content page designed for human visitors. This will only work for a limited time as the search engine spiders will eventually return to that page and find its content has changed.8. Linking to Unrelated Sites or Bad Neighborhoods
Link campaigns are good thing when done correctly; we would say they are a necessity in today’s SEO world. But linking to bad neighborhoods is a sure way to lose your ranking. If you aren’t careful about who you are linking to you can easily disappear overnight. Basically, while you may be ethical and do everything right, linking to someone who isn’t can be considered guilt by association. Always verify your links to other sites. Make sure they have page rank and are indexed by Google. Avoid linking to any sites that use spamming techniques to increase their search engine rankings. Regularly checking outbound links from your site and removing any offenders is a good idea.
A few site types to avoid:
1. Free-for-all link farms
2. Adult sites
3. Gambling sites 9. Link Farms
Typically a network of sites that are all interlinked to one another and have no other benefit but to try to boost the link popularity of the sites. Link farms are mostly used to try to increase the Google PageRank of a site.
Well after everyone saw the Black Hat techniques everyone also should see What does Google say?
“Don’t deceive your users, or present different content to search engines than you display to users,” Google says, and they list some bullet points on avoiding being banned.
1. Avoid hidden text or hidden links.
2. Don’t employ cloaking or sneaky redirects.
3. Don’t send automated queries to Google.
4. Don’t load pages with irrelevant words.
5. Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
6. Avoid “doorway” pages created just for search engines, or other “cookie cutter” approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.
All the best,MES

A blog is a short for weblog,and it is a personal or a business webpage, containing info. Any blog owner knows how easy it is to create your own blog and start adding content to it. Today, the internet is very accessible and anyone who wants to can start a blog or two, or even more. The blog can be a business blog or personal blog, it doesn’t matter, but it has to be a SEO friendly blog, meaning a blog that is optimized for search engines to find.
This article will show you how to write a SEO friendly blog post:
1. Start with making a list of longtail keyword phrases. You want it to be 3 words or higher phrases, with low competition and high search volume per month. Making this list will provide you with a list of ideas to write your blog posts.
2. A blog is like a webpage and you want your keywords to appear in your blog post title. It is important to use the keywords in the beginning of the title, in some blogs, this phrase will show in the post url too.
3. A SEOed blog post is a post with the chosen keyword phrase in the first paragraph. Try to insert the phrase as close to the beginning of the paragraph, bolding it or adding the Strong tag to it. Other emphasis will work to. The meaning of this step is to show the search engine that this is an important phrase, and you want it to be indexed.
4. Unlike article marketing, where the article body is long, in blog posts, which are 250 to 300 words, it is not recommended to add the chosen keyword phrase again in the text. It won’t look natural and you want your blog post to be reader friendly too, not just search engine friendly. However when you create your list of longtail keyword phrases try to find similar keywords, that mean the same and also make sense, then you can use this phrase in your post. The more natural your post will look and sound the better, and it won’t get penalized by the search engines for spamming.
5. You are getting to the end of your post, in the last paragraph insert your chosen keywords again, and again bold them or add the strong tag to them. It is also recommended to hyperlink your chosen keywords to your website, if you have one. A hyperlink will give you a backlink to your website for the chosen keywords and help you with your SEO efforts.
Writing a SEO friendly blog post is just the first step. This will help the search engines notice your blog and index it, but you need more. Post regularly, everyday, once a week, but keep adding fresh content to your blog, making each post SEO friendly.

Here I will show you the correct way to do SEO properly in order to get to the top listing in the major search Engines such as Google. The first step that you need to take is do some research on some Domain names for great keywords. For example if your selling books then you should use Google Adwords keyword tool and type in different things or words that any ordinary person might type in while looking for what you are selling. The time you find a proper keyword phrase that is high in demand and mostly searched on Google then you should make sure that the listings on Google are preferably in top position. What I mean to say is that when you type your chosen phrase into Google in order to do a search then do make sure that the listings are 200,000 or under. It is for the reason that the more competition you have for those keywords the harder it will be to get on the first page so once you find a phrase that is highly searched and has low competition buy it that will be your golden domain name.
The next step that you need to take is to take care of your Meta tags as these are equally important. You have to put in your domain name keywords in the title of your Meta tags as well as in the description tags at least once. You must also make sure that you fill out your keyword tags too.
Then the next step which you need to take is to get as many links pointing to your website as much as you can but using fair means only. Links are free at first but after that it becomes a paid version so if you wish you can always upgrade it later. What you must keep doing is keep building links.
Next thing is that if you truly want to optimize your website for the spiders then this involves researching keywords. What you need to do is to put a list together of your favorite keywords like Highly Searched Keywords and then fit them into your website content as much as possible, without spamming since there is a fine line.
The above tips that have been just shown you above about SEO was just in a nutshell. Only if you use them then will you be ranked high organically in no time, getting some great free traffic to your website.

Search engine optimization as it is, is a huge topic to cover but there are certain tips and tricks involved with it that will help you improve your website s search engine listings. If you implement these tips on your website you will definitely find obvious changes in your websites listings. Please go through the five SEO tips stated below and try to implement them to your site and watch the result.
1. Go by convention.
You may have a flashy web page or a very dynamic and impressive web page but make sure the basic layout of the webpage remain conventional. This means stick the basics of providing links to home page, about us, contact us and site-map. Search engines will be looking for easily navigable sites as it makes it easy for its users to get what they are looking for. So forgoing the usage of these basic buttons on your site may not please search engines. This also gives more reliability for the search engines to trust your websites from spamming sites.
2. Choose search friendly domains.
While looking for domain names make sure that it relates to the niche in which your website is going to be operational. Of course you can have domain names unrelated to your niche but using related domain names can get you good listings faster. This helps search engines to easily relate with your niche and content.
3. Research keywords with high search results but low competition.
The lesser competition you have the better listing you can expect. But it is not easy to find such keywords if your niche is highly competitive. In such cases you may go for long tail keywords to beat competition. This will also get you more targeted visitors. For this you will have to do some serious bit of research to find those keywords. To know the strength of the keyword competition search on the search engine using your keywords within quotations. This will give you a fair idea on where you stand with the keyword you have researched.
4. Make sure you optimize your website well for your chosen keywords.
For this you have to follow these simple tips. Use the keywords in the title tag, the number of keywords you may use for a webpage title tag is not certain. The basic norm, some experts say is 2 keywords per web page but I have found results for as many as 4 keyword phrases. You may try with more keywords you have nothing to loose. Use these keywords in your H1, H2, H3 tags it has better influence with the search engines. And also use keywords in your websites content. With just these distributions of keywords I have got front page listing overnight. This may bring you to the front page but to keep them there you have to work on it.
5. Work on your site to get top listing by providing incoming links.
Provide incoming links to your web page using anchor text links. Try to get more links than your best competitor and also make sure they are quality links.
