One of the very first things we ask when talking a new SEO campaign with a client is Can we see your website statistics. This is usually after we have been told how many thousands of hits they receive every day to their website. Very often the answer is we dont have any, sometimes followed by cant you tell us?.br /
br /
Its an interesting dilemma, our company as the professionals are expected to know a lot about the web, SEO and how to make pages rank on top for specific keywords. Were expected to know this for every industry we deal with. Whether you provide a specialist widget or a commodity, as the experts we are supposed to be able to tell you about your market, your niche and how many surfer are searching for your post.br /
br /
This is the same with all marketing. If you go and ask your local marketing company to advertise your product in the most cost-effective way to the sort of customers who would want to buy it, the marketing executive is expected to be able to do this. Theyre being paid to know and so you would expect to be able to get an answer fast.br /
br /
Ill let you into a secret. If your Search Optimization or marketing service gives you an answer straight away, move on. There is absolutely no way a service provider can tell you all about your niche without doing at least some research, and this is why we ask for your analytics. We dont know anything about your business because youve only just called us up. Even if weve dealt with others in your industry, you are different and so we need to investigate why youre different. If your argument goes along the line of Were the same as this company or that company then you need to looking for yourself another business.br /
br /
Google Analytics should be the most important installation on your website. You should have it running from day one and it should be collecting data. You can then give that data to your Search Engine Optimization company who can then tell you a little bit about your business. But why is it so special?br /
br /
Well, the analytics will show you exactly who has visited your site, what they do there and how long they spent. It will also illustrate you two important pieces of very interesting information. It will show you what keywords they used and where they came from.br /
br /
The keyword analysis is very necessary and it is here that we have been able to highlight the mistakes lots of people have been making. For example, I recently visited a company that were proud of their number one ranking for a particular keyword. I asked them how many sales they got from it and they just didnt know. I asked them how many visitors they got from it and they didnt know that either. However, they did have analytics installed, they just hadnt looked at them.br /
br /
And heres the rub: its OK embarking on an Search Optimization campaign and its OK to throw a big mount of investment for it, but if you dont check and measure your campaign you are wasting your time. In the company above, they had invest money on advertise this particular set of keywords and the hadnt even bothered to see if they were effective. I looked at their analytics and not surprisingly nobody had ever hit their website using the keywords they had proudly pushed to top one on Google. Not only that, using the keyword analysis application that Google provide, it would have been easy to have saved themselves a lot of money because it seems only a few users use those keywords anyway.br /
br /
Google Analytics is absolutely essential if you are going to ensure your SEO campaign is effective. Without it, your efforts are simply being wasted and you should consider spending your marketing budget elsewhere.br /

Trying to find a professional search optimization company can be sometimes frustrating. There are a lots of competitors out there all with different sales pitches but ultimately offering a top position on Google, which is worth any businesses weight in gold.br /
br /
But what is a expert SEO company what things should you be looking for, what are you expecting to receive for your investment. A huge problem is not many business owners know the first thing about SEO or sem for that matter, they trust and believe what they are told by the so called expert websites and a lot of these websites are clearly after your money and give you massive promises such as, we can guarantee a top position on Google. Let me first fill you in about these guaranteed top position sites.br /
br /
The only way they can guarantee you a top position is by using the following methods. The first is by simply using pay per click advertising like Google AdWords. If you are paying a really low monthly fee then they still are only going to get your website there for may be 100 visitors max. The second way to get your site to the top of Google is by using unethical methods also known as black hat or bad search engine optimization. These ways may work in the some days but trust me most of search engines will catch on and your website will be banned, forever. The third method is used by con artists they tell you they can get you there but it never happens, you try and sue but you will never here from them again.br /
br /
Anyone who guarantees a top position on Google 95 percent of the time will not be offering a full professional SEO package. Ok but what should you receive for your money when dealing with an SEO company or consultant?br /
br /
Well first of all do not hope it to be cheap. Secondly you should be receiving a service which covers all factors concerning SEO and SEM, that is search optimization and search marketing. You should have on and off page optimization, keyword research and suggestions, niche marketing, link building and link structuring, affiliate marketing, email marketing and advice on potential advertising campaigns. You see professional SEO is like a complex jigsaw, unless you get all the pieces your never going to see the full image or realize the true potential of your website.br /
br /
So when looking for professional SEO, shop around and do some research, if your paying a less amount of money your probably getting a worse service. A good SEO should work with you and your business to ensure long term, online success.br /

This is the fifth in a series of articles by J Keightley who is a professional a href=http://www.wikicoaching.co.uk target=_blanklife coaching/a specialist and ecommerce business owner of Giggleberries a href=http://www.wikicoaching.co.uk target=_blankMens Underwear/a, which looks at the importance of excellent keyword research and knowing the keywords that people will use to find your website.br /
br /
If you want to naturally rank well on google, then you have to know which keywords or keyword phrases you want to gain this for and you need to know this from the start. There is no point in spending months and months of hard work applying internet marketing strategies if you are not applying it to the right words.br /
br /
There are a number of simple steps to doing this, one is to simply write down what you personally think people would type in to google to fine you and the other is to look at the keywords that your competitor is using. Visit any of your competitor’s sites and right click on their home page to reveal a list of options, then select ‘view source’. This will open up the source code for their page, which will probably look like a foreign language to you. Hit the ctrl key and ‘F’ to bring up a search box and type in it ‘keywords’ and click find. This should take you to a point in the code where the word ‘keywords’ appears and chances are that the first place it will appear is near the top in a string of words called ‘meta keywords’. In this string of words you will discover which they have used as the keywords for their own site and you can use this to add to your own list of keywords you may wish to consider. br /
br /
Another tool is Google’s Keyword Tool, which you can find by googling it. This free tool enables you to enter your keywords and search for other possible considerations. The results tell you how many times the keyword or keyword phrase is searched for and how competitive it is. Obviously, a key word that is searched for a lot and isn’t competed for much is a very good keyword and will be easier to achieve a high SERP for. However, if it is competed for a lot then it will be harder to achieve a high SERP for as there will be thousands of other sites trying to achieve the same as you for that keyword.br /
br /
A keyword that isn’t competed for much and also has fewer visits may not necessarily be good and yet these lesser searched for keywords or not worth ignoring, because if you pick the proper ones then you could dominate google for these with little or no effort. They are known as ‘long tail keywords’. br /
br /
I will explain! A word such as ‘dog collars’ gets about 110,000 searches per month, is particularly competitive and achieving a high SERP for this would be hard work. Equally, The keyword, ‘fashionable dog collars’ only gets 12 searches per months and is not very competitive and so it would be very easy to attain a high PR for this. Therefore, this would not be a good word to spend time trying to achieve a high SERP for as you are only going to get about 12 potential visits a month, assuming each impression is clicked on.br /
br /
However, the keyword ‘dog collar large’ gets about 3,600 visits a month and has very low competition, so this would be a superior keyword to consider.br /
br /
They are called ‘long tail keywords’ because if you were to chart the number of times that words is searched for then the long tail keywords would be those that produce the long tail part of a graph that tapers off to the end. These words are very often forgotten and it is a case of finding a long tail keyword that does not have a great deal of competition, but attracts a reasonable amount of searches per month. br /
br /
Do you remember me suggest in my earlier article that adword management companies try to sell you their service by using long tail keywords to illustrate how they have achieve good results for other customers websites? This is why, because they are easier to achieve results for and with a bit of knowledge and hard work you can achieve it yourself. br /
br /
There is also another means called Keyword Tracker, which you will easily find with a Google search and it enables you to do similar research that the google keyword tool allows; only it is much better. One statistic it provides you with is the KEI (Keyword Effectiveness Index) of a keyword, which is a comparative of the number of impressions for the keyword against the number of competing web pages pointing to it. Therefore, the greater the KEI, the more popular the keyword and the less competitive it is.br /
br /
Lastly, it is always worth paying an internet marketing consultant to do an initial study of your competitors and some keyword research for you. This should cost you less than £500 and in the long run I believe it is money well spent, as it is better to get it right from the beginning.
If you were to count the a href=http://www.moneymakingtactics.com/ target=_blankways to make money online/a, you’d be at a loss. I don’t think 4 limbs would suffice. Lame jokes aside, there are, seriously, countless ways to make a living – even a fortune – on the Internet. The rules and principles that govern money-making in the real world apply just as much online as they do offline.br /
br /
Some money making tactics take money to make money. Of course, the trick is to make an extra dollar or more for every dollar you invest into any money-making activity. And you’d want to squeeze out as much profits as you can out of that dollar you’re going to invest. This is just business common sense.br /
br /
However this assumes that you need to begin with money if you hope to make any money. But there are several free ways to a href=http://www.moneymakingtactics.com/ target=_blankmake money online/a as well. In this article we shall go through the top 3 ways to make money online.br /
br /
1. Trading Your Time and Your Skills For Money As A Freelancer.br /
br /
Perhaps the easiest, fastest and most straightforward way to begin making money online is to offer your services to other webmasters, online business owners and internet marketers. If you have a particularly strong skill set – such as writing, designing webpages, copywriting, producing videos, editing audios, creating graphics, etc. – then you can find people who will be more than happy to pay for your services.br /
br /
You can go to the freelancing networks that would charge you to bid on projects (such as Guru, eLance or ScriptLance) but you can save your money. You’ll probably be better off going to specific webmaster forums and advertising your services in your signature file. To get started you could even offer to do your maiden projects dirt cheap or for free just to get a couple of references.br /
br /
One important tip to take note of if you choose to take this path is that when you are starting out on your virgin projects, even if you get very little (or no) money (at all), make sure you get the testimonials of your clients. Store your clients’ rave reviews so that this can serve as your portfolio of customer satisfaction and would give social proof that your work is of a high standard of quality.br /
br /
2. Endorsing Other People’s Products For A Commission As An Affiliate.br /
br /
There are dozens of affiliate networks you can sign up with to become an affiliate for potentially thousands upon thousands of products sold online, it’s almost as if the internet is conspiring to make you rich.br /
br /
Clickbank is a popular choice and probably one of the easiest to sign up with. Your earnings are paid out by cheque twice a month, provided you have fulfilled some criteria (no worries, you don’t have to jump through hoops of fire to get your first payday). PayDotCom is ideal if you prefer to be paid via PayPal instead of waiting for the bank to clear your commission cheques (it could take weeks especially if you live outside America). Both Clickbank and PayDotCom also offer affiliates the opportunity to earn some passive income from the monthly recurring billing products they list in their marketplaces.br /
br /
If you’re looking to broaden your product line beyond merely selling information products, Commission Junction is the No. 1 network to be signed up with. Not only can you sign up with programs that pay you for referring sales, you can make some quick bucks out of the numerous CPA (Cost Per Action) programs available. CPA means you don’t need to make people buy products for you to get paid. All you need to do is to persuade people to sign up for some free offers, subscribe to a newsletter or download a software for free, in order for you to earn a commission.br /
br /
There are 2 sub-paths you can take within the affiliate marketing path – the Anonymous route, and what I call the “Oprah Winfrey” route.br /
br /
For the Anonymous option, you can employ any number of tactics to promote your affiliated products – pay per clicks, article marketing, search engine optimization, email marketing, etc. This route may be able to allow you to make money faster if you do the tactics right but may not last in the long term unless you consistently maintain your marketing momentum. Taking this option allows you to explore as many niche markets as you want.br /
br /
The “Oprah Winfrey” option involves building an authoritative reputation amongst your target market, branding yourself and building trust with your potential customers. This obviously takes time to build but pays off handsomely in the long run. Taking this option might prove difficult for you if you wish to explore different niches as generally affiliates who market with authority usually focus on products that serve only 1 target market.br /
br /
3. Create Your Own Product and Sell a Billion Copies.br /
br /
The third way to make money online is to create your own masterpiece and sell it to the world. Most people would say that it is the hardest amongst the 3 ways but I beg to differ. I made my first dollar online (US$17.00 to be exact, back in those days when US$1.00 equalled $1.70 in Singaporean dollars and Paypal was not that popular amongst internet marketers) selling my own information product.br /
br /
Where there is a demand, there is money to be made. P T Barnum reportedly said there’s a customer born every minute, but how do you know what these customers want to buy? The secret to untold wealth and riches selling your own products online (even offline) is to know exactly what your potential customers are going through in terms of pain, frustration, problems, challenges, etc.br /
br /
What is the one thing that is hindering them from achieving their goals? What is the stumbling block that they are encountering? How can you simplify their lives?br /
br /
Before you go on to create products that would solve these people’s problems and sell a million copies, you must be able to answer the above questions and more. In brief, creating great products simply means being able to solve people’s problems quickly and easily.br /
br /
Of course, there are many types of products you can sell online, just as there are many solutions to any one problem. But let me simplify it for you further and categorise the kinds of products you can create into 2 -br /
br /
1. Teaching people how to fishbr /
2. Giving them the fishbr /
br /
Most information products would fall into the 1st category. Information products can be of many kinds as well – ebooks, audios, videos, tutorials, even live seminars and workshops. Depending upon the amount and value of content you put into these information products, you can charge anywhere from dirt cheap to exorbitant prices for your information products.br /
br /
Software, tools, systems and services fall into the 2nd category. Here, you go beyond teaching people how to do whatever it is that they want to learn to accomplish, and actually go do it for them. In this category, you can charge either a recurring monthly fee or a handsome one-time amount for the tool or service you’re offering that is going to solve their problems for them.br /
br /
Now that you have been exposed to the top main 3 ways to make money online, there is actually one more important lesson that you have to take away from reading this – there is actually one thing in common amongst the 3 ways to make money online which, if you don’t fully understand and apply it, you won’t make that much money on the internet.br /
br /
What is it?br /
br /
You have to understand that business is about making money – yes – but beyond that it is about exchanging value. Ideally, for every $1 a person gives you, you give him $1 worth of value in return (be it via information, a service or a tool). But this is not a zero sum game because the value you create and exchange for money is something intangible and cannot really be absolutely quantified in dollars.br /
br /
Ironically, it is when you give just a little more than what you are paid for, that is when you start to make even more money than if you were to just trade a dollar for a dollar’s worth of value.
I was talking to a friend recently that had their website redesigned. They paid $2,000 for a site that really does nothing for them. It is a simple brochure site that provides visitors nothing and it certainly does nothing to convert traffic into sales. Since all of their budget went to design, they have no money left over to properly market the site. Mistake #1, dont pay $2,000 for a branding exercise.br /
br /
A a href=http://www.richfromtoday.com target=_blankhome based business opportunities/a website is about supporting the business. The beauty of the Internet is there is no guessing. You can measure pretty much anything. What are you trying to accomplish? Increase traffic? Generate leads? Increase sales? If it is yes to one of these questions, then a $2,000 investment should get you another $20,00 to your bottom-line? Can a brochure site deliver an 80-95% ROI?br /
br /
Web design is a commodity today. The cost of design should represent about 25% of your total spend. Design costs are competitive today, so spending more than you have to should be the last thing you do. There are excellent open source Content Management Systems (CMS) that give you the power to manage your own content. The cost of the software is $0 to you. I recommend using either Wordpress or Joomla. Both of these platforms provide you with Web 2.0 compliant back-end at low cost for setup and maintenance.br /
br /
The value in web design is operating with companies that can correctly market what you do. To properly market the site, you should be spending 10-12x what you should spend in design. So, it is possible to get a Web 2.0 website at an affordable cost. If you are a small company that is spending $1,000-$2,000 on a basic website, you should plan over 12 months to spend an additional $2,000-$5,000 on marketing. The dollars spent on marketing brings the traffic to the site. Simple rule, more traffic through the front door means more business. br /
br /
Unlike other advertising, you can control your spend and measure your ROI pretty quickly. You can turn your marketing dollars on and off depending on the performance, it is all measurable.br /
br /
I built a [spin] SEO Friendly website that permits me to administer content on the website. Prior to working with wordpress, my website was not listed in the top 100 on Google for the popular keywords. Since working with wordpress, visitors and page views have increased. But most important, it has doubled conversions from this time last year. And, I did not spend $2,000 on web design.br /
br /
If you need help in evaluating a prospective vendor, here are some question that may help you understand their knowledge:br /
br /
1. How do you capture visitor traffic off the Internet? Can you track their movement through my site? If so, how?br /
2. How do manage pay per click advertising dollars to ensure I am maximizing my spend and not wasting money?br /
3. How do you measure whether my site is friendly to my users?br /
4. How many page views would you estimate my site would get to determine the right level of hosting?br /
5. What things will you need to change on my website? What things can I change on my own?br /
6. If I want to change the look, does it require changes to the backend scripting on the site?br /
7. What will it take to add a new page to match an ad we are running to the new site? For instance, I want to advertise a special and build a page specific for it, what will it take for us to do this?br /
8. What do you anticipate the typical cost per lead for the website to be?br /
9. Who owns the source code to the site?br /
br /
So, think about your objectives. Think about what you want to accomplish and spend your money according to the results you want to achieve. A pretty website just does not generate the type of results you should and can get using the Internet. Dont get mugged for $2,000. Its bad for your a href=http://www.richfromtoday.com target=_blankhome based business/a website.
Affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and affiliate, in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchants web site. This is a great way to start or improve your a href=http://www.richfromtoday.com target=_blankhome based business opportunity/abr /
br /
Affiliate marketing works in a win-win situation for the merchant and the affiliate. The merchant increases opportunities to promote his products for gratis to a bigger market which will add to transactions. The more hard-working affiliates he gets, the more sales he can expect. By getting affiliates to market his products and services, he is saving himself time, effort and money in looking for possible markets and customers. When a client clicks on the link in the affiliate website and purchases the product, recommends it to others who look for the same item or buys it again, this way the merchant leverage his chances of earning. On the other hand, the affiliate marketer benefits from each customer who clicks on the link in his website and who actually purchases the product or avails of the service provided by the merchant. Usually the affiliate gets commission per sale, which can be fixed percentage or fixed amount. The best is that it wont cost a single dime to join an affiliate program.br /
br /
If you want to be an affiliate marketer and make money out of the Internet, you may follow these three most basic steps to start your effective affiliate marketing campaign. br /
br /
Your first stride is to recognize a particular niche you are involved in or passionate about so you won’t be bored and forced to develop your affiliate site later on. Focusing on a specific area you known well, it will help you bring out your best. Here are a few places you can research on – ClickBank Marketplace, AssociatePrograms.com, LinkShare.com, CJ.com etcbr /
br /
Secondly is to look for good paying merchants and high converting products .Make a list of good paying and high converting affiliate programs for your chosen niche and create a website. In deciding the products, you must in addition consider the support they are giving – Marketing materials may include articles, text links, banner ads, classified ads, reports, etc. br /
br /
There are many affiliate networks and affiliate solution providers that can give you info on the most profitable products and best paying merchants. So be wise enough to choose the right affiliate program.br /
br /
Now that you have decided which products to promote and the merchant you are supporting and have created your own web site with a domain name and reliable hosting, you are ready to promote. This is the toughest part, since it is through this that you would be able to increase traffic to the business website, sales and of course, profit. In affiliate marketing, it is possible to earn large sums of money in a short span of time if you use the right strategies and methods.br /
br /
On how to promote the products would need a separate discussion. You must continue to educate yourself by reading books, courses or other articles online about the best and proven advertising techniques. br /
br /
Keep in mind, there is no fast trail towards success. Affiliate marketing may seem very tempting due to numerous encouraging testimonies of merchants and affiliate marketers alike who have benefited from it, but it really involves in a great deal of hard work and persistence. You also need to be creative and flexible. br /
br /
Most affiliate marketers don’t understand this, so when they don’t make sales, they quit, look for other programs and carry on the same mistake. In the end, they said that affiliate marketing is just one of those scams in the Internet. You can labor your way to great success with your a href=http://www.richfromtoday.com target=_blankhome based business/a if you employ the correct strategies in affiliate marketing. You can make money as an affiliate marketer if you are willing to do what it takes.br /

bMake Sure That You Are Promoting Your Web Site From Your Own Shop /bbr /

Here’s a simple method of driving in people into your site for next to nothing – make sure that you mention your own website in your shop, or other outlet that is visible to the public. But amazingly many people forget or simply choose to forgo this simple idea thinking that it is not useful, because the people are in the shop already. So why would they want to visit the shop’s web site?

But what when you are not open, or they want to find out if you carry certain ranges before making a trip out? Or maybe they want to print out your menu so that members of their party can select their meals, or even compare your menu against a competitors to decide which to hold their party at? What about publicising special offers and keeping their interest in your ranges? If they are more aware of your web site, they are more likely to find it and show it to friends and maybe return to you.br /

Keeping the website name in your customers’ eyes is vital. Simply adding the website address to a shop front fascia can be all thats required for a starter. That way, when customers are driving past when you are closed see an offer in the window, they can check it up when they return home by visiting your web site. They might be more likely to remember the offer if they noticed that you had a web site address shown outside.br /
br /
And the shop front sign is not the only place to show the web site address. Buy from any of the main high street shops and you can almost guarantee that they will display their web site address on the receipt. How much would it cost you to update your receipts to show the website?br /
br /
Maybe try adding the site URL to price tags next time you are getting them printed, or to menus, leaflets or anything else that you give out. If you are not a shop, for example a solicitor, then there are still plenty of avenues to try. Letterheads, compliment slips, business cards and the likes can all be printed to include your site address.br /
br /
If people are visiting you as customers then make sure that they go away knowing your web site’s URL. If they don’t, then it’s going to be a lot more difficult for them to find your web site and return as a customer through it. Even if it means getting a batch of promotional products printed up with your logo and dropping them into shopping bags or giving people a leaflet where they can pick up a discount voucher for signing up to your mailing list. As long as they know about your website, you are winning. Even if it isn’t an ecommerce website.
