Blog Your Way To Riches!By Bill Jason

If you are looking for a great business idea, a Blog, short for “Web Log,” is a hot way to generate lots of traffic to your website! People are searching the internet for free information and having your own Blog is a great way to deliver it to them. Why would you want to give away free information? Because with time people will come to view you as an authority figure on whatever topic your Blog is about, and then eventually they will gain trust in you, and people will buy much more readily from people who they know and trust!

A Blog is basically a webpage that focuses on information rather then on flashy graphics. This is great if your knowledge of HTML is slim to none. The only thing you need to do is, post “articles” to your Blog on whatever topic you decide your Blog will be about, such as, Business opportunities, business ideas, affiliate programs, home based business, work at home, make money online, etc. The optimal number of words that should make up each of your articles is 450-600. The best way to run your Blog is by posting one new article a day. This way people will keep coming back to your Blog every day to read your latest article, and as I mentioned earlier this will not only familiarize people with whom you are but it will also build their confidence and trust in you, creating a state of mind in people that facilitates buying!

On your Blog you would want to put a link to your website along with your biographical information such as: [John Doe is the owner of yoursite.com. John specializes in helping people to work at home with their own home based business through the aid of various online business opportunities and affiliate programs. To make money online visit www.yoursite.com]. Your bio would be positioned at the end of each and every post you make so that people will always know were to find your site. As peoples confidence in you grow, more and more people will begin to visit your website and some will eventually buy from you!

If you don’t like the thought of writing an article every day and you don’t mind spending a little money you can pay a “Ghost Writer” to write your articles for you. No, one will know you are not the actual author and you will have the copyrights to the articles. You can find many ghost writers on the internet who will charge very reasonable prices. For instance for your Blog you would need about 30 articles written a month. You can find ghost writers who will write 30 quality articles for you every month for as low as $19.99!

There are lots of internet sites that will host your Blog site for free and setting up your Blog with them is E-A-S-Y! Once your Blog is set up the only thing you will need to do is post your articles each day. Sooner or later search engines will become aware of your Blog site. They will spider it, word for word, and when someone types a phrase or keyword that matches what is on one of your articles into one of the search engines, your Blog will show up on the search results with a link back to your Blog so be sure to include phrases and keywords into your articles that have a high search rate!

One last thing I should mention is that, you can also put cost-per-click(CPC) advertising, such as Google AdSense, on your Blog to earn additional revenue. You will be paid every time someone clicks on one of their ads on your Blog. Google makes it just as easy for you to put their AdSense ads on your Blog as it is for you to set up your Blog and it’s free! As time goes on and more of your articles are bringing in more traffic to your Blog, the amount of revenue CPC advertising will bring you can be quite substantial!

Having a Blog is a terrific way to drive lots of free high quality relevant traffic to your website. It’s easy to set up, requires no HTML, and it can also generate additional revenue for you through, cost-per-click(CPC) advertising. Most importantly it helps establish you as an authority figure, an expert in your field, who people will begin to believe in and eventually do whatever you say!

Idea Hangouts: Where To Find Hot Product Ideas To Use For Creating Your Next Best-selling EbookBy Jimmy D. Brown

46,094.

That’s how many times I’ve been asked “Where can I find hot product ideas to write about in my next eBook?”

Really. I’ve been keeping count. :o)

OK, so it’s probably not quite that many times, but you get the idea.

I get asked that question a LOT.

And so, I’ve decided to share my favorite “idea hangouts”.
That’s right … “idea hangouts.” It’s been my experience that there are specific places where hot product ideas are always gathered. I call them “idea hangouts.”

*** Idea Hangout #1 ***

One of the “idea hangouts” that I’ve identified is Amazon.com.

Amazon.com is the web’s largest bookstore.

It’s also a community center for new product ideas. I use it as one of my top brainstorming resources. Again and again I visit this site to come up with topics to write about.

What makes Amazon.com so useful as a research tool for getting new ideas is their searchable database of books. There are thousands of great ideas lurking in there if you just know how to use it.

And that’s what I’m here for. :o)

I’m going to show you how to find hot product ideas with Amazon.com anytime you want.

It’s really a matter of three simple steps …

STEP 01 : >>> Decide Upon A Broad Category. When brainstorming ideas, you must begin with a broad category to work with. Some examples might be: weight loss, marketing, dating, travel, baseball.

So, you need that ahead of time. Figure out a broad subject that you know is popular (I.E. You know that losing weight is ALWAYS going to be a popular subject, as is “making money.”).

As an example for this article, I’m going to choose GOLF.

STEP 02 : >>> Search Amazon’s Database. After picking your broad topic to research, it’s time to visit Amazon.com.

Specifically, you’re going to SEARCH their database of books they are selling.

Upon arriving at their site, locate their SEARCH form. At the time of this writing, it was in the upper left hand corner of their main page. Pull the menu down and select BOOKS from the options.

In the space provided, type in whatever broad category you chose. I’d type in “Golf”. (You don’t need quotation marks)

If you did indeed start with a broad category, then hundreds (or even thousands) of book listings should appear as a result of the search.

STEP 03 : >>> Brainstorm Ideas From The Listings. Let the brainstorming session begin! Now it’s time to look at the books that are listed and write down as many possible ideas as you can find.

Look for the different TYPES of books written about the subject, identifying different THEMES, STYLES and SUBCATEGORIES.

Let’s look at an example …

When I searched for “Golf”, I was able to immediately spot dozens of great ideas. Here are a handful …

1. Becoming a better golfer. There are many golf books available in this area, covering everything from “A-Z of Golf Shots” to specific topics such as “Improving Your Short Game.” There were lots of different themes from “learning to break 100” to “shaving 10 shots off your score” to “7 shots that will change your golf game forever.”

2. Guides to Golf Courses. Again, we have many different ideas here. Specific golf guides like “Florida golfing”, “golfing in Tennessee” and “golfing the Robert Trent Jones trail” appear, as well as books on “the best golf courses in America,” “best kept secrets: great golf courses you’ve probably never played,” and “golf vacation guides.”

3. Profiting from Golf. More ideas pour in with “opening a golf repair business,” “becoming a golf retailer,” “learning how to caddy” and “buying & selling used golf clubs.” What about “running an online golf auction”, “organizing a golf tournament for profit” or even “writing information products about golf!”

4. Golf and Business. There are millions of dollars in business deals negotiated on the golf course every single year. And there are books available to teach folks how to get it done. “How to negotiate business deals during golf outings,” “Legal golf tax deductions for businesspeople,” and “business seminars and golf: how to mix training and fun for maximum profit” are just a few more ideas worth exploring.

5. Golf Products. My, my, my there are so many ideas floating around in here! Everything ranging from reviews of the latest golf equipment to ratings of golf courses to discounts on golf packages. Resource guides to finding the best deals on golfing products, how to negotiate discounts, and how to find the best products for your specific golf game also come to mind as product ideas.

One Broad Category (Golf)
+ Amazon.com Searchable Database of Books
= 28 Potential Product Ideas

See how easy that was? I found TWENTY-EIGHT potential new product ideas (and there were MANY MORE that I didn’t mention in this article) from a simple brainstorming exercise using ONE “idea hangout.”

There’s got to be a best-seller in that bunch somewhere. And certainly with a little “mix -n- match” I can come up with a hit product with these ideas.

Not bad, eh?

So, now it’s YOUR turn. It’s a simple system for coming up with product ideas anytime you want.

Like right now.

SEO Spam Companies – Worth Supporting?By Danny Wirken

SEO Spam is anything that constitutes unethical practice within search engine optimization. This includes the manipulation of spiders and redirection of users to inappropriate contents. SEO companies work towards the attainment of high search engine ranking but are all their activities worth supporting?

What goes on behind SEO Companies?

Only a small percentage of businesses outsource SEO to specialized SEO companies. This fact can be attributed to either ignorance of the existence of such companies engaged in search engine optimization or because the company believes it has the available skills within the organization. The problem with using in-house experts is that they may not know enough to be effective. The search engine industry has ceased to be easily understandable due to the extreme complexity and high degree of competitiveness involved.

Mistakes can be very costly to a site. A site can end up being dropped from search engines or worse, be permanently banned. This costs money in terms of lost sales. Availing the services of a professional SEO company may provide better results although the company may have to contend with a recurring expense as site optimization is definitely not a one time deal. A site should be optimized every time it undergoes significant changes. The wisdom on whether SEO outsourcing is right for a company can be gleaned from the rate of conversion of visitors to paying customers. Once a site is a sales getter, there is money that can be spent to pay for traffic.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the marketing technique of enhancing a website and its content in order to increase the chances of achieving a high rank on search engine results pages (SERP). Search engines have their own criteria and ranking system based on specific algorithms that are continuously updated and revised. These algorithms or the mathematical formulas used in determining which web pages get to be displayed on search results are confidential. This is to prevent webmasters and search engine optimizers from succeeding in achieving higher rankings through manipulation and spamming.

A legitimate optimizer’s job is to get that high rank through ways that are considered acceptable in the industry. A Search Engine Optimizer initially gathers all the pertinent information regarding the site to be optimized. This forms the basis of all other activities to be undertaken by an SEO. It can choose to analyze SERPs and backward links to get a clearer idea of a search engine’s indexing criteria since no one really knows the exact components of any search engine algorithm.

SEO companies can only make an educated guess about the ranking systems through research, trial and error and sometimes speculation. Its assistance to websites may come in many forms. It can add valuable and relevant content to a site and make continuous updates to the websites. It can facilitate link exchanges that are relevant or complimentary to the business. Building links should be done in a progressive manner, instead of adding 500 links at one time. It can recommend to have a site map included in a site for easy surfing by visitors as well as choose effective Meta Tags such as titles, keywords and description tags which are all relevant to search engines. It should also be able to provide assistance on web design, keyword density and authoritative articles that pertain to the topic of the business.

The SEO Spam

The Internet has made it possible for anyone to learn almost anything. SEO seems to be a by-product of this fact. SEO spam companies appear to look professional and knowledgeable. They can even afford to charge extremely high prices and get away with it as the price seem to add perceived value to their service. What essentially separates legitimate SEOs from the spam is the ethics followed by each SEO company.

Ethics that relate to how an SEO company gets traffic is the core of the difference. Spamming used as a marketing tool is not deemed acceptable to the industry. An offer from an SEO company to the effect that a site will be submitted to a thousand search engine is not at all beneficial to any site. Such an offer is merely meant to impress since there are only a handful of search engines that really matters. An SEO company who is not willing to explain its method of getting traffic usually does not play within the rules.

Exclusion from Google listing at least during this time could be an indication that there is a need to check further the SEO company in question. This is because Google is considered highly trustworthy and as such, sites that are included in the Google data base enjoy an assumption of legitimacy and authority. Of course this is not always true. But at least a starting point has been provided in case there is an actual need to further investigate the actual circumstances of an SEO company.

Practices that are considered SEO spam includes hiding text or links on a page to attract spiders, cloaking to underhandedly redirect users, sending automated queries, cramming pages with unnecessary text, creating near-duplicate pages, sub domains or domains and creating too many “doorway pages” or similar strategies to attract search engines. Keyword stuffing should be avoided. This is the practice of repeating keywords many times in a keyword Meta tag. Likewise, the use of a repetitive title constitutes a form of spamming. The use of popular words that are unrelated to the site is not a good practice either. The use of Meta refresh tags has also been used by spammers to take the user to another web page.

The practice known as page-jacking is done by unethical webmasters who steal a high-ranking page from a high ranking site and waits for the copy to hit the top spot in ranking to upload their own page in its place. This is a form of Internet scam that is often used with another bad practice of creating a page that would prohibit the user from using the browser’s back button to return to search engines. In effect, the user is trapped in a site of which he/she has no interest on.

Spamming when caught, results to some penalty to the site. The most common penalty is a lowered ranking while the heaviest penalty is being banned by search engines. SEO spam companies are seen as entities that do not want to do the real work of customized search engine optimization services but would want to take advantage of the revenue generated by being part of the industry. Most often, they employ excessive and automated techniques to get what they want.

Many practices of SEO companies are categorized as spamming although there may be no legal impediment existing for its use. Strategies and techniques are continually being attempted to give webmasters and search engine optimizers' advantage over their competitors. The heats of competition sometimes compel people to go beyond what is standard or accepted. The question as to whether SEO spam companies are worth supporting is best answered by the primary intent underlying such action. Any action that intends to damage another website or company is both unethical and illegal. Anything short of that is subject to the interpretation of its source and its users.

Internet Marketing 3 Simple Business SuccessBy Markus Skupeika

SEO Expertise and 3 Techniques for Success.

Internet marketing experts first start using Onsite Optimization and using the right keywords using keywords in your titles, descriptions and heading tags. Simply placing more keywords selectively in certain areas on the page is key.

Keyword density should be 5 to 6 %, do not over load key phrases. But good Internet marketing experts will place keywords and use anchor text to help you rank and convert sales.

Use anchor text towards the top of pages. This anchor text or link should be a keyword. Then place that anchor text to go to a page that is optimized for that key phrase.


Second is off site optimization, which is Internet marketing most important technique. Internet marketers use link building. There are a couple simple ways to link build.

Content and Article Promotion, Directory submissions, paid links, and rss feeds. This is all you really need to focus on for links. And lastly SEO Experts create business blogs that will also promote a site.

Third technique is building more pages and use good content. Have a web designer create a web page or content management system for you or purchase one online.

The more good pages you create the better opportunity you can have for bring traffic. But important step for Internet marketing is good content. Them related contented that focuses on a problem and offers a solution with you link in the middle.

Looking for targeted customers… try using keywords with your city and town. These are know as low hanging fruit and are great starters for Internet marketing experts. To find out which keywords are being search you can search from a software at http://www.monopolizingmarketing.com/tools/

Once you understand your low hanging fruit you can really blast past your competition. So blast your unique content and market and solve solutions for peoples problems. Then simply have a link and call to action.

Syndicate your great content to niche directories and article directories. Good Internet marketing experts promote website but more they promote great content.

How does one get content out quickly?

Again stream the process using tools. Automate as much as you can… not the content but the process of syndicating. For good article promotion you should submit to major article directories. SEO or Search Engine Marketing can be successful by just taking care of these steps. When you promote articles you get to send them to millions of sites. These sites are articles sites. The content or article you send should have one link. That link is a link back and now you are link building. So go out there start article promotion.

One important Step to understand, remember Google is getting smarter. Google is now researching phrases and keyword density more closely. The databases store the relevancy and details about phrase matching. This will get you penalized so beware of the phrase matching which will be coming and knocking out a lot of spammers.
