Internet Marketing: The Simple Part

Researching home based business opportunities on the internet? Fasten your safety belt and stock up on the Dramaminebetter yet get a helmet and a NASCAR crash suit too because it’s a wild ride and you’re likely to spin out or hit the wall more than once. In the world of Too Good to be True online moneymaking opportunities have got to be the big dog on the street these days. “Bigger than television advertising? you ask. In a sense yes because online you are more proactively and interactively engaged in seeking solutions. Yeah the couch potato with his remote finally dons cape and tights and heads for cyberspace seeking truth profits and the American Way!!.

I started off opting into a couple multilevel marketing opportunities you know vitamins and that sort of stuff. This wasn’t totally foreign to me having been involved unsuccessfully with MLM a number of years ago. Like many people I’m interested in ways to supplement my diet and maintain good health. The added element of earning extra income is also appealing and why wouldn’t it be? However discovering that most of your family and friends “warm market” just don’t share your excitement the business aspect ends up in a carton downstairs under the Christmas decorations.

The idea of marketing on the internet is what drew sucked? me back into another attempt at MLM or “network marketing” as some now prefer calling it. The industry was ready for me too with team replicated websites backoffices promo materials for order email autoresponders online conference rooms you name it. And all I had to do was “simply send people to my website…” and everything would roll along from there. Sounded good to me. So after setting up everything including getting a healthy supply of nutritional supplements AND an autoship account for monthly restocks I once again found myself facing my warm market only this time it was “Hey check out my cool website!” followed by “hmm…who else is gonna check out my website?” Well my spiffy back office also included a link to a source for prequalified sales leads which I could purchase in bulk at quantity pricing of a mere few bucks per lead. I should expect to get 10 interested prospect “signups” out of every 100 leadsafter all “Remember it’s a numbers game Sparky”.

My team training also heavily promoted meeting people everyday and having weekly meetings in my home where everyone would watch a DVD introducing our revolutionary new product and compensation plan. Now I happen to live in a rural area with a very wired Chihuahua actually it’s my wife’s. Yeah I know that’s my problem so what? But as you may well imagine I wasn’t terribly excited about roaming the neighboring towns dropping cards and inviting people to my humble “out in the boonies” abode for a special DVD presentation including additional background soundtrack provided by “Pancho Psycho” barricaded in the bedroom shredding up the carpet.

AND ANYWAY WHERE EXACTLY WAS THE INTERNET MARKETING SIDE OF ALL THIS!!??

That’s when I decided to go back online and surf my way to the answersin cape and tights of course. The number of “How to” websites capture pages and sales letters on the web dealing with making money online is simply mind boggling. It becomes Kryptonite after awhile. I went through such a mind numbing number of sites it nearly put me in a carton downstairs under the Christmas decorations OR to quote Chris Farley as my favorite motivational speaker Matt Foley “…IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!”. But interestingly enough after awhile one also realizes there isn’t actually a lot of different information out there; just a lot of different people duplicating similar stuff in very similar formats often with just enough variation to make it “their stuff” and mostly dealing with how to sell an information product which reveals how to sell an information product etc. ad infinitum. Not exactly a unique new thing here. It gets kinda like Rap music or fast food after awhile. This homey was being supersized yet still starved for real nutrition.

Another key that I Mr. Thick and Nave finally figured out is that it’s all about getting traffic driving traffic and acquiring a prospect base you can continue to market to. That’s extremely important to know because I don’t know how many times I read “… all ya gotta do is simply’ send people to the website… and this or that system will take it from there”. That “simple” part was always hanging me up. What was so simple about it? That seemed to be the big secret in the world of “Earn six figures weekly working 20 minutes a day…” or is it “20 minutes a week”? I forget.But there is good news… and I promise it has nothing to do with saving you a bunch of money on your car insurance. It helped me to finally realize that the basic concepts of both real estate and general marketing totally apply to internet marketing. There’s the old real estate adage: “LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION” and the marketing law of POSITIONING that deals with appealing to what is already in the mind of your prospect or niche. In other words “what do people want and where can they get it?”. Search engine function i.e. Google in particular really reflects the mind and interests of the people and thus reveals positioning extremely well and so indicates where you’ll need to locate your site and/or ads in order for them to be seen. Location and Positioning laws are totally embracive of one another online. In the Information Age the real estate is WORDS. For proof of this just go to Ebay and search “domain names”. Many have said that the best investment is real estate. “Virtual Estate” shares the characteristic of land because information requires prime location to be marketable.

Consider that regardless of how well either McDonalds or Starbucks are positioned in the mind of the marketplace any of these establishments located out in the middle of a swamp will fail. On the other hand putting a Bill’s Burger Bonanza at the corner of a major intersection greatly assists the survival of Bill’s establishment regardless of his lower than McDonalds position in the public mind.

And by the way that really cool replicated website your MLM team gave you is way out in the swamp. It’s like an unlisted phone number that Ed McMahon will never call.Now I want to take a moment to give due respect to the successful marketers out there whether they are: 1 MLM’s building relationships and promoting wellness 2 Affiliate Marketers working to promote the products of others or 3 Information Marketers helping others to improve their standard of living. The internet presents a huge window of opportunity for people who if they conduct their activities ethically will create and add value to our society and economy. Most of these folks work very hard.

There are many innovative resources out there to assist those considering internet marketing. They’re available in many different packages with varying levels of content in a broad cost spectrum.

Ultimately you will find these resources most beneficial to the degree that they assist your understanding of positioning and methods of locating generating driving and preserving traffic. Your products and income depend on developing the above. All the other bells and whistles are icing on the cake. First you need the cake. Make sure the internet marketing resource you choose will show you how to bake that cake. Don’t ever accept “…you simply send people to your website…” because if you don’t already have that part down you could be flying into the Twilight Zone. To your superheroic success!

Increase Traffic To Your Site With AdWords

There is no replacement for good SEO and content on any website. Good SEO and content can get your site indexed quickly. Even if you index quickly getting traffic to your site takes time and effort. Traffic? Yes high traffic means increased sales and profits for you.

One of the ways to get traffic to yur site instantly is with Google Adwords. Adwords is the component of Googles advertising program that allows web masters or SEO professionals to advertise web sites via links from other web sites. Adwords is used in conjunction with adsense in such a way that your links are placed only on the most relevant web pages. You are given a good deal of traffic at a very reasonable price and the conversion rate from adwords is higher than that of any other pay per click advertising system on the web.

Adwords is a pay per click service. This means that you pay Google a certain amount for each click that you receive via your adwords links. The best part about this is that you never have to pay unless your link is clicked. Therefore every payment that you make to Google was in exchange for a real live potential customer.

When advertising with Adwords it is crucial your advertising links go to pages that have high conversion rates. If you have one page that absolutely blows the other pages out of the water in the way of conversion rates setting up an adwordsprogram that links to this site can give your profits a huge kick.

Once you have decided what pages you are going to link your ads to you must decide what you are going to place in your ads. Google Adwords allows you to place a headline two descriptions a URL to display and a destination URL. The best way to configure this is to put the title of your destination page into thetitle use the two description lines to inform your visitors of what they are going to see list yourdomain or root directory as the display URL and use a high conversion page as the destination URL. Thiscombination of information will provide your visitors with the best idea as to whether or not they aregoing to find something that they want to purchase on your site.

Google attempts to enforce standards so that you do not pay for clicks that are made merely in an attempt to boost an adsense users profits. This is crucial because there are so many web masters out there who will continually click on the ads on their own pages in an attempt to boost their profits. These clicks do nothing for you as the web master probably doesn’t even look at the page before exiting it and clicking the links again.

Google’s antifraud system is a match for that of any advertising agency on the net. It is howeverpossible that you will pay for an click here and there that is not honest. This is the risk involved in Google Adwords. It is so easy to think that you have come up with a powerful solution with no possible downside but the possibility of fraud is always there when it comes to online pay per click ads.

The best way to combat fraudulent clicks is to keep close tabs on your statistics. If you are gettinghundreds of visits from a particular web page each day and each of the visits is under twenty centsin length there is more than a slight possibility that it is a fraudulent attempt to inflate thatsite’s adsense earnings. If you encounter such a practice report it to Google immediately. This willsave you and many other web masters a great deal of money. The fact that there are dishonest people inthis world will not change but the dishonesty of pay per click advertisement is diminishing and willhopefully continue to do so.

When using adwords you will increase your traffic which means increased profits. Monitor test and adjust your campaigns as you go to get the most profit from you advertsing. The fact is that if you plan carefully Adwords is bound to increase yoursales opportunities.

Importance Of Ethical SEO Techniques

Hundreds and thousands of people have made use of the Internet in a variety of ways each in an attempt to subjugate its great power and potential to give profit and gain to users and businessmen. However alongside the aims of these hardworking innovators and entrepreneurs are people who simply want to extort as much money from people in exchange for dubious products and services.

Web content is brought to a potential user by means of either direct recall of a particular service providers website or by blind searches done on various Internet search engine platforms made available by Internet software giants. By entering words known as keywords relevant to the desired information product or service into the search field users can employ these blind searches to look for content closest to what they are looking for.

As is the practice a search engine usually produces a list of websites matching the keywords provided by the user to a degree of relevance. These are ranked by relevance quality of content and sometimes visitor votes that come in the form of a measure of frequency of visits by people who usually find the content useful to them.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a method used by many businesses and entrepreneurs online in order to maximize the potential of the search engine by helping them rise in the ranks of the query response listings. SEO usually deals with organic searches or those that need no payment to be listed among the list of likely matches to a clients keywords as well as crawler search engines which are search engines that literally crawl through web pages in search of relevant links and relations between pages in order to find relevant content.

Dubious figures in the Internet however have made use of the Internet to forward their own selfish desires leading to an unethical use of the brilliant SEO model. This has led to a divergent field of SEO called black hat SEO. In this method various deceptive schemes are used in order to manipulate search engines and dupe customers by providing them with websites that are completely useless. This method is also called spamdexing.

Ethical SEO techniques also exist in the Internet. Before even going into details the most important ideal behind ethical SEO techniques is in providing better service to clients and allowing this satisfaction to become key in promoting the website.

What does it take for a method to become an ethical SEO technique?

There are various ways under the central guideline to achieve them.

The first one is creating quality content for the users. After all no ethical SEO technique tries to get the better of any customer or even harm them to the slightest extent. By providing quality content users receive useful timely and secured information when they need it.

In order for that to be achieved no amount of exaggeration or manipulation of the nature and content of the website is done to lead customers into believing that it contains the website relevant to their query. Ethical SEO does not employ any method that will mislead the customer into a site and even offend the customer once he or she has found his or her way into the website.

Moreover ethical SEO techniques do not in any way violate any laws as regards intellectual property rights international law or spamming laws implemented at every level of every way. This would include not claiming for their own products and services that are not theirs to sell or produce just so they can fool users into providing sensitive information through which they can extort money.

A website employing ethical SEO techniques will never try to exaggerate and reflect a companys image any more than how it should be portrayed; doing so in effect manipulates the customer into trusting a company based on falsity.

Relevant to various security issues existent on the Internet one last measure of how ethical a SEO technique is lies in the protection of its customers on the basis of privacy agreements. In providing the service sought by the client ethical SEO techniques protect the confidentiality and sensitivity of the information made known to them in confidence by their clients.

Both goals aim to achieve the same end of profit. However the road diverges and one must pick one over the other. In the end ethical SEO techniques allow for users to maximize the profit they pay without impinging on the rights of other people an manipulating others; this by far is the best option to go.
