Bidvertiser

Posted by MarkFrancis | 6:29 PM

Ok,by far after joining many PPC i have to say the best is bidvertiser , and I can get you better rates if you join using the Bidvertiser banner. You can earn alot being their publisher.

actually wrote a few articles about how to make money online the easy ways and published them on this blog and article directories for the past couple of years.

Because not everyone likes to start an e-business or learn Internet marketing to make money online, some people just prefer to make money online in simple and straight forward way; So, in this blog post, I like to again write about the easy ways of making money on the Internet with up-to-date info to help you find out what are the choices you have if you want an easy method of earn money online.

Sign up Cash Offers
There are companies that want more and more people to try their product or service from time to time. To attract people to try and test their products, these companies offer cash incentive to anyone who sign up their offer or try their product. And the good news is, it is not difficult to find these companies thanks to those free service websites that list paid offers.

One of the best free service websites now is Treasuretrooper.com. Treasuretrooper.com has few hundreds of cash offers in their database. The payout of these offers rank from $0.50 to $50 which means you can earn $0.50 to $50 for signing up or completing an offer in Treasuretrooper. All the offers are available only to residents in US, Canada and UK. If you aren't living in these three countries, you wouldn’t be able to sign up the offers and earn cash.

However, there is a referral program that everyone can join in Treasuretrooper. This referral program can help you earn some extra money constantly. By referring new people to join Treasuretrooper and complete offer, you will earn a percentage of referral commission.

The opportunities in Treasuretrooper wouldn't be able to replace your employment income but they can provide you an extra source of revenue like $20 to $50 per month if you keep on signing up offers and referring new members.

It is a real program that truly pays. I have been a member of Treasuretrooper more than a year. I received their check from month to month.

Search Yahoo
I come across a quite popular site, Homepages-Friends.com which offers to pay people search on Yahoo. I did an investigation; this site has no relation to Yahoo actually. They are just inviting people to sign up and search Yahoo to get paid.

It is completely free to join. All you to is search and search Yahoo. It has been discussed in a lot of forums. So far I find no proof of this program is a scam. A number of people are commenting positively about this program and some even posted screenshots to prove that they have been paid for searching.

So, it is worth a try if you are looking for an easy way to earn cash. But this isn't a program that can provide you full-time income. If earning a couple of extra bucks monthly sound good to you, the program is right for you.

Paid Survey
You probably have heard of paid survey as it is one of the oldest ways of earning money online. It works simple.

There are a few hundreds of market survey websites on the Internet. Each of this market survey websites wants people to join them and take their online surveys. They will reward the online survey participants in the form of cash, gifts, vouchers, free products, or tickets to enter a lucky draw.

What you need to do is join as many market survey sites as possible and wait for the paid survey opportunities send to your email address. Each time you receive a paid survey invitation, you will be informed what you will earn (cash, gift, coupon, or vouchers) for completing the survey.

Paid survey opportunities are actually only available to US and Canada residents although some people said there are survey sites for International members. But, believe me, most of these international sites are actually based in US which often send paid survey sites to US people only.

Finding these paid survey sites isn’t difficult at all because there are those directory sites that have done the work for you. These directory sites give you a free list of market survey sites you can join and earn money for taking online surveys. Below are some of the directories you can access free to find market survey websites:

http://www.surveyclub.com
http://www.yellowsurveys.com
http://www.internetpaidsurveys.com

Making money with paid surveys requires patience. You will be uncertain of when you will receive a paid survey invitation, you may receive one every day or one in every week. You can make more than one hundred dollar or just a few bucks per month. It all has to do with you profile. The survey sites decide whether you are eligible for a paid survey based on your profile.

Paid Review
Unless you are the type of person that hate to write, writing review on consumer products that you have used can be also an easy way to earn cash online. The product review websites like Reviewstream.com, Softwarejudge.com and Dooyoo.co.uk want real opinions from you. You probably bought and used products and services often. You must have tried good and bad products and have something to say about them; those review sites are excellent places for you to expression your opinions about the products.

Your product reviews can help others to make a better decision when purchasing online or offline. For each short unique review submitted by you and get published on one of the review sites, you will be paid a few dollars.

Conclusion
All right, the above are all the easy ways of making money online I’ve found so far. If I find a new and interesting way in the future, I will update it in this post. And finally I hope that the information in this blog post can really help you make some easy money online.

There are plenty of ways of making money on the net without requiring Internet marketing knowledge and I have introduced a number of them in the previous posts of this blog. For easier searching, I decided to combine them into this post. Here are them:

Work Online for Others
Guru.com and Elance.com are freelance marketplaces with tons of online job opportunities. Getting an online job through freelance marketplace is similar to getting an offline job, it involves competitions. You search for an online job that is right for you in freelance site, then you bid for the job. If your bid is the lowest, the employer will usually award the job to you.

Another site offers online job opportunities is Clicknwork.com. Unlike freelance marketplaces, there are no bidding competitions involved. They will assign the work to you. But to become their home-based professionals or workers, you must pass a difficult test.

Submit Articles for Cash
If you are passionate about writing, you may submit your articles to the below sites for publication and earn cash for each article published:

Developershep.com/writers.php - Accept articles related to web development and Internet marketing.
Associatedcontent.com (AC) - You become their member and submit articles in wide array of topics for payment consideration. Available to US only.
Newsforge - Pay $100 to $300 for each article about Linux, open source and free software.

Try Companies Offers
The concepts are simple. You join a website that contains a list of offers you can sign up or try. For each offer completed and approved, you'll be credited an amount of money into your account. Most of the offers available to US residents only. Treasuretrooper.com is one of the programs allows you to earn by completing offers.

Submit Photos and Images to Photo Agencies
Web designers, magazines and press need new photos and images often. They will look for photo marketplaces and agencies to buy photos that fit their need. You can submit your photos and images to these agencies and they will sell the photo and images for you. Below are some of the photo agencies:

lessons on earning money online

Posted by MarkFrancis | 10:43 AM

I have decided instead of posting posts on continually teaching you lessons on earning money , i decided to get you another site on lessons on earning money because I think , readers are the most important so I will be helping you finding you sites. This is a site on lessons on earning money just for you to check out.

The quality free website tracking tool, Google Analytics is now integrated with AdSense. This function started to roll out by Google last week. It will soon be available to all the AdSense publishers.

Integrating your AdSense account with a new or existing Analytics account will allow you to get access to more in-depth data so that you can make better decision on improving your AdSense performance.

A great feature that I think it will effectively help publishers to make more money from AdSense is the 'Referring sites' report. It will tell you what source of traffic that earns you the most AdSense revenue. By knowing the sources of traffic that work well with AdSense, you can concentrate on getting the traffic from those sources and see your AdSense income goes up from time to time.

I think this feature is going to be very useful to web publishers especially those bloggers who get lot of traffic and done proper AdSense optimization but still make little AdSense revenue. The reason might be they are not getting the types of traffic good for converting into AdSense. Looking at the data in 'Referring sites' feature, there will know what to do to improve their AdSense performance.

There are also a few other features that can help you.

As the AdSense integration hasn't rolled out fully, you wouldn't be able to have access immediately to this function yet. But keep checking your account for an invitation link. Once you saw the link, You can click it to sign up for starting testing this function.

Making Money with AdSense

Posted by MarkFrancis | 10:27 AM

It has been over two years I used AdSense on this blog to make money online. I still remember when I first applied to become a Google AdSense Publisher; I was actually rejected by Google. I got approval only on the second application after I done some changes to the site that I used it to apply AdSense.

And recently my friend started an anti-virus blog, I helped him to send an application to Google for opening an AdSense publisher account and he got his AdSense account approved within 10 hours.

With these experiences, I think I can share some info helpful for you to get your AdSense account approved smoothly and start earning online with AdSense

Getting an AdSense account to approve isn't difficult actually if you know clearly their program policies. Once you have set up your site or blog with content added in, you can read the Google AdSense policies here to see whether your site or blog comply with each of their rules and terms. There is also a set of webmaster guidelines you must adhere as an AdSense publisher.

After reading all Google AdSense program policies and their webmaster guidelines, if it seems that your site or blog doesn't against anything, you may fill out the AdSense sign form to send your application to Google.

There are actually quite a lot to read in Google AdSense policies and Google's webmaster quality guidelines. You may not be able to understand all of them. Checking each rule and guideline take time. So, if you don't have the time to understand totally their policies and guidelines; and making sure you comply everything, here are a few quick tips for you:

Site should be Information-Rich
As Google AdSense program is targeted for content-based website. Your site needs to have a reasonable amount of content. The content must be original and family-friendly. Don't use reprinted articles which already been published on other sites as Google AdSense team will not like it. If it is a blog you are going to use to apply for AdSense, make sure it has at least 5 original posts before applying.

Proper Website Design and Structure
2 column and 3 column layout are best for AdSense content-based website. The site has a clear navigation section for visitors. The navigation text links should be simple and arrange in a manner that easy for users to browse your web pages.

A site map is suggested although it isn't necessary. Do some on-page SEO optimization. Especially the title tag and meta description tag, they should be clearly and accurately describing what your website is about and with your primary keywords included.

Three Don't Do
- Don’t set your site to show pop and pop-up, pop-under when visitors browse your site.
- Don’t create pages with spyware, viruses or adware.
- No hidden text and hidden links in your website.

In the case that your application was rejected by Google AdSense team, Google will reply you with a reason for rejection. Read the reason carefully and review your website. Find the area that against AdSense policies, change it or remove it then reply. You will get the approval if you done the modification accordingly.

In the Internet, SEO marketing is the way to go if you want your business to be seen and noticed. There is such a thing as a SEO marketing specialist who aids clients and website owners in their quest to have bigger sales and more traffic to the site.

The Aim of SEO Marketing:

SEO marketing has mainly one aim and that is to bring traffic to a certain site. Traffic is seen as prospective buyers and clients of the site owner. Therefore, traffic is a much needed "commodity". Many Internet users visit sites that they have been redirected to or sites that have been presented by search engine results, and they get hooked on these sites. In other words, some users do not specifically seek out that particular site but they might have been led to it by it being in the top ten high ranking sites presented after a search engine query.

Now you see how important getting high ranking is during searches. Sites that rank in the top ten are most likely visited by more users than those that are ranked lower. Many users do not bother to look for more sites if they find what they are looking for in the first few sites presented in a search. This is why many sites employ search engine optimization methods to encourage higher ranking and to achieve successful SEO marketing.

The Value of SEO Marketing:

The value of SEO marketing is that people who work to market your site know what they are doing and may be objective about what your site requires. By hiring and working with a SEO marketing expert is also a way of fully understanding how the search engines work and what is needed to meet the requirements of being in the top ten pages of a search engine.

SEO Marketing Tools and Strategies:

There are many ways of getting your site in front of many Internet users. These strategies are all included in search engine optimization and website optimization. Most sites are optimized to suit the requirements of search engines. Many search engines index and catalog sites in accordance to the data and information that the site owners have submitted and the data and information that the search engine crawlers have gathered from the web site. The way that the data and information is presented in the site is important and so is the submissions that are given to the search engines. It is the role of the SEO marketing expert to be able to fully recognize the right data and information to supply for the site and submit to the search engines. SEO marketing companies are hiring, at an unprecedented pace, SEO marketing consultants to accommodate the increasing demand for quality SEO marketing experts that can handle search engine optimization and SEO marketing for various sites

Among the many SEO marketing tools that can propel a site to the first page of a search engine result is content. Content that is relevant to the site is what sites need to make it stand out from others that have irrelevant content and improper web design. This is the importance of keyword or key phrases that are integrated ion to the article used for the site. These articles carry the information that robotic crawlers need in order to properly index a site according to what it contains and what it can offer to users. The relevance factor holds true when link building. One way inbound links from relevant sites are extremely relevant.

SEO marketing strategies also include designing the web site in such a way as to make it easier to use and for the texts and images to load quickly. It is important for the web site to be quick loading in order to hold the attention of the users. Sites that take too long to load or have large images that hinder quick access to the texts will most likely be abandoned by the users in favor for a much faster site. Part of SEO marketing is to meet the demands and needs of the people by providing a web site that has relevance and the information that the users need.

The problem with SEO marketing is that there is a fine line of distinction between black hat and white hat methodologies. Some SEO experts employ underhand methods to gain high ranking for their clients’ sites. Many overzealous SEO experts might integrate a few well placed codes and hidden texts that could raise the ranking of a certain web site. Human users will not be able to see these codes and text but the spiders and crawlers used by the search engines to help index a site will be able to read these and gather these as relevant information regarding the site. The results of these actions will lead to the site being banned from the search engine and the SEO company might be included with this. It is best to practice white hat methods of SEO marketing to have long lasting results.

The ultimate goal for any webmaster is getting quality traffic to their website and therefore customers. In the past web masters felt they had one choice and one choice only but to get placed in the top 10 position inorder to get traffic. Times have changed. They are now given more than one method to generate traffic to their web site. The pressure to rank high in the search engines is lessened.

With the great uprise of social bookmarking, blog and article directory sites, more and more webmasters are turning to these alternatives to get traffic. These sites have come as a relief to those who have struggled to gain a piece of the pie of the search engines without success. These social media sites without bias make it possible for any web master great or small to get traffic in as little as 24 hours unlike the search engines which can take months.

There are blog sites for just about any subject, and you can be assured that there are some that relate to your products and/or services. The true origin of the word "blog" found on the Book of Joe web site shows that Dr. Seuss actually created blogs. At first people thought the word "blog" came from the word "web-log". Some blog sites provide commentary or news on a particular subject while others function as a personal diary. Blog sites are great for generating traffic to your web site because you can express yourself in an interesting way that gets people to respond to your blog. You can simply sign up with a site such as Word Press and begin blogging away. You can even have your own blog site!

Article writing is a great marketing method. Depending on who you talk to you might just hear that it is the best marketing method to generate traffic to your web site. One thing for sure is that if you can provide people with some great information, sharing valuable tips that they can use right away, you will get your article read. Article writing plays a very active role in getting out there and finding people who are interested in what you are saying. Search Engine listings on the other hand wait for people to search your keywords inorder to find you. It's role is a passive one. You can get your article out there for thousands of people to see for free!

Social Bookmarking is another great method for generating traffic to your web site. Millions of people are using social bookmarking sites to find information. They have become so popular they are even considered to be a new type of search engine. If you are new to bookmarking sites, they allow you to store your bookmarks online and use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks. Tags are keywords chosen by you to remember the subject, name, category, etc. of an article or web site. Inorder to get social bookmarking to work for you, create quality content, tag it, and get other people to see your content and tag it themselves. This can do wonders of getting traffic to your web site.

Knowing that there are other methods of generating traffic to your web site other than being place in the top 10 of the search engines, have significantly lessen the pressure to rank high in the search engines.

Pay per sale affiliate programs have been around since the beginning of the affiliate marketing business, and due to it's obvious fairness, it is still a popular commission model. The number of programs offering this commission model are plenty, far more than any other model available online.

The reasons for its popularity are many, but a big reason is advertisers full control over the margins. With any other commission mode, the advertiser needs to calculate the conversion ratio, number of sales and size of purchases very carefully to eliminate the risk of overpaying for clicks, leads or impressions. With the PPS model, advertisers know they will only pay a specific percentage of each sale, making every new affiliate - no matter how successful - will contribute to the revenue of the affiliate program.

Advertisers using other commission models stand a much greater risk of having a new affiliate join, only to see him send nothing but non-converting traffic, thus getting paid for nothing. PPC, PPL and PPM are also much more open for fraud, often in the form of auto-generated visitors (i.e. from a script) or other ways of generating impression, clicks or in some cases even leads. For newly started affiliate programs, showing limited cash flow, other commission models can prove hard in the beginning. Often it takes a while to get the ball rolling, and paying for anything but sales can cost a bit of money before you get some back. Be sure to calculate how long you can afford to pay for a certain amount of visitors if no one actually converts into a buying visitor.

There will of course be plenty of referred visitors who converts into sales, but there are no guarantees. If you where to use a PPS model, paying ONLY For sales, you would never have to pay a commission unless you are seeing a positive cash flow. This is true for the affiliate program as a whole, as well as on an individual affiliate level. They won't get paid until they actually makes a sale, thus making the advertiser money in the process.

Some affiliate programs offer a fixed commission instead of a percentage, and if the commission is the same on sales for different amounts, the percentage will differ from one sale to another. Try to find an approximate percentage of commission to calculate the expected revenue for each affiliate sale. Calculating the minimum and maximum revenue is important as well, in order to keep track of the revenue of the affiliate program and its commission model.

A Quick Guide To Web Directories

Posted by MarkFrancis | 12:03 PM

If you are a seasoned Internet marketer, then it is common knowledge that submitting to web directories can dramatically increase your page rank. If you are a newbie webmaster, then you might be quite in doubt as to how web directories can do for you. This article would relay to you what exactly is a web directory, how they work, and how you can use them in promoting your site. By the end of the article, I want you to go add your link to one of the web directories on the Internet and see how it would work for you.

What are web directories?

Simply put, a Web Directory is a collection of web sites presented in a categorized format. I suppose that you know how Yellow Pages looks like, a web directory is pretty much the same thing, only this time websites are categorized in such a way that internet users can easily navigate through them and find the website that they need.

How do web directories work?

A web directory submission is one type of marketing strategy you can employ. By simply adding your website in web directories it can dramatically increase your site’s exposure and your pagerank. Why so? Of course aside for submitting your website name, you would naturally add your website link or URL to the site. This constitute for one back link. What do you need outbound links for? Increasing the number of your outbound links would relatively increase your pagerank.

A pagerank simply refers to your position in search engines results. For instance, if an online user searches for "car parts", along with your SEO-content and bunch of good back links, you would likely hit the first few pages of the search results, thus increasing the exposure of your website. If back links are what you are after, then submitting your site to web directories is one effective way to get some.

Web directories are also one way of acquiring permanent links. Permanent links are very valuable since you would have your live link posted on web directories for good or at least during the lifetime of the web directory where you posted your link. It is important to take note though, that offering permanent links are still in the discretion of web directories owner.

Aside from improving your page rank, web directories are also a form of web advertising. In addition to using search engines, online users also rely on web directories to direct them to certain websites they are searching for. Since websites in web directories are categorized accordingly, navigating through them is easy and convenient. If for example one online user is about to buy bathroom tiles, he would probably go to the category under 'home improvement' and if your related site is under that, you are most likely to have an instant visitor, thus increasing your traffic. In the online world, traffic is everything. If you get more visitors drop by your site, then that means you have a number of potential clients, thus increasing your sales.

Choosing a web directory

There are three types of web directories – free, paid and niche directories. Free web directories are, of course, the natural choice for webmasters with a tight budget. Some free web directories requires a reciprocal link and some don’t. Reciprocal links are simply links of the web directory's URL that you are required to post in your own site. It's a give and take concept. When you post your website to a web directory, you need to return the favor by posting their URL to your site as well.

The only drawback with some free directories is that they may not be properly maintained. Spam sites may find their way into these free directories because they may lack appropriate monitoring. Then again, there are free web directories that can offer as much quality links than paid directories.

If you have the budget for it, you can also opt to submit your site to paid directories. These types of websites may charge as low as $10 per year. Some popular directories, like Yahoo, can charge as high as $299 as annual fees. The rate that paid web directories charge is relative to the website's pagerank. If the web directory site you are submitting to have PR9, then prepare to shell out a big chunk of your advertising budget. A web directory with a PR3 or PR4 would normally charge low.

The third type of web directory is a niche web directory. These are web directory sites that cater to a particular group of websites. For instance, a web directory with the niche under "business" would only allow submission from business websites. Posting your websites into niche web directories would give you better hits since you have a bigger exposure to your target market.

How to submit your website

First, you need to find a good web directory site. Check the web directory and be sure it does not contain several spam sites. One way to find out if spam sites are listed is by doing a search for terms like “Viagra”, “Sex” etc… If you notice a large number of search results, then that directory is not a good one. Because in worst-case scenario, your own website may even be penalized by some search engines.

The second thing you need to do is to choose the appropriate category where you should add your website to. You would get to your target audience better if you place your website in the right category. If not, you would not get much traffic from your possible visitors.

The next thing is to write a good description of your website. These are snippets that would describe what your website has to offer. Description should be short and catchy. It is also a good idea to make sure to write a good meaningful description as many directories do not approve websites with bad descriptions.

The last thing to do, which is very important and the part that is often take for granted, is to check if your link is working! You don't want to get your website URL misspelled or anything like that, hence the whole process would be to no avail.

You might have heard about SEO services and how web entrepreneurs are using them to market their sites. Almost every website that provides services and has products to offer requires SEO services. These sites need visitors to promote their products and to continuously improve their sales and profits. Due to these reasons, almost all website owners are now applying and working with the SEO companies to achieve that precious first page ranking. Website owners are becoming more familiar with the benefits of the SEO services to their clients.

Through search engine optimization also known as SEO services a website is enhanced and improved in order to achieve its full function and higher search engine rankings. There are several SEO services that a SEO company can provide to its clients. These services includes analyzing the client’s website, analyzing the competitor’s website, working on the improvement of the client’s website, and continuous maintenance of the website to retain its ranking in the search engines.

SEO services start when they analyze your site. This is where the SEO services providers learn every part of your site. They study its present PR rank, competitors, inbound links and most and site's content. They also find the flow of the audience going to your site. If and when these factors are correctly implemented they will lead to higher rankings and more traffic. These are the reasons why SEO services are needed, to be able to generate traffic and improve revenue and bottom line. The traffic is the life of a website. Remember, the more visitors that come and visit your site, the greater chances to convert them into a sale or a membership sign up. They can spread the information to others through social networking which can serve as a referral system.

There are several ways on how the SEO services help in increase the traffic of a website. These are through the Internet marketing strategies like the pay-per-click, link building and organic search engine optimization (SEO). The pay-per-click strategy is the process of purchasing space on the online where ads are displayed and the advertiser pays for traffic on a pay per performance. Further, the better the keywords that you use with respect to your products, the more chances that your site will be visited. For example, if your products are pieces jewelry, with the use of SEO services strategies, you can use keywords research and go for popular keywords like low priced diamonds, pure gold jewelry or even wedding rings and engagement rings in order for your site to be discovered first during the search. On one hand, if your products are related to travel, you can use keywords such as group package or cheaper seasonal rates and the like. SEO services providers would give you reasons why you need to use these well researched keywords that must be well written in the contents of the site.

What are all these SEO services strategies mean? Primarily, the more informative your site is the more and frequent the visits that you will receive from thousands and millions of online users globally. You’ll get all the help you need in optimizing your site’s contents through valuable support of the SEO services providers. What do these providers do actually? For one, to make the keywords more effective, SEO services try to find the keywords that are related to your products. You can also use the keywords that individuals frequently use when searching for your products through the search engines.

Another way on how to increase traffic in your website is with the use of link building strategy. Remember, SEO services aim at increasing your site’s traffic or visitors thus allow your site to be accessible whenever possible. SEO services determine that this strategy can either be paid link or free link. The paid links are usually associated with the membership for joining a certain directories or sites which offers linkage. The websites under these directories are usually high-ranking sites that make profit by accepting links. They allow newer sites to be linked with them but require payment in return. These sites usually have an area within their site where links are associated interchangeably.

On the other hand, other sites actually allow free links, as long as the site owners provide an exchange links to their site or they have to share the free links with other merchants as well. There are other sites that also offer free links but the exposure of the link is not usually that long compared with the paid sites. These sites are alternately paced with other sites that wish to be linked as well. This interlinking strategy is one of the best Internet Marketing promotion and strategy of the SEO services providers.

Finally, SEO services providers have this organic search engine optimization. This is the slow but sure strategy for websites. It is slow because it involves link building which is a very time consumming task. It is the most effective strategy among the three. This works by achieving a decent rank from the search engines and from that rank, you will slowly move upwards. The website is enhanced and improved by the SEO services applied for to be able to achieve a rank in the search engine. From its initial rank, it will slowly acquire traffic and will slowly increase in rank over time. This may take a long time compared with the previously mentioned strategies but it will last longer too. To invite traffic, your site must be attractive and filled with information needed by your target audience. It is important to consider the information written on it because it will help in the ranking of your site in the future.

SEO services needs to be continuous and used on an ongoing process in order to maintain the rank of your site.

It's common to hear many marketers complain that traffic exchanges don't work and they don't use them for their work at home business. While I don't deny that I have never made an extensive study on how these people came to such conclusions, I can only guess that these people do not really understand traffic exchanges enough to take advantage of a very powerful business platform. This article hopes to show some of the best approaches of many successful marketers who use traffic exchanges to generate unstoppable traffic for their home business opportunities.

What To Promote In A Traffic Exchange

Many people fail to understand that you should be promoting the traffic exchange first before promoting your work at home business. These are the people who often do not have a real marketing plan for their business and follow a short term vision of making money online - lots of it and fast. They may find some initial success, however this is short-lived as their efforts are usually unsustainable. Eventually, many will be left disappointed in their home business venture.

On the contrary, having good planning that follows a business marketing plan and tracking your results is a good, sound business practice. You can start by joining many good traffic exchanges, perhaps about 10 as a start growing to as many as 40 eventually when your business grows. Your initial strategy after joining them should be to build as many referral downlines as humanly possible. Downlines are those people who join you in the same traffic exchange. Many traffic exchanges have their own rules, but most of them have unlimited downline tiers for you.

Unfortunately, some marketers in your downline may not become your serious business partners. I would dare say if you can get a 10% good people who actively promote and build your lower tier downlines, this would be a fair result. So try to set some achievable targets like building 300 people in your downline within the next 6 months. If you focus on growing this downline, eventually you will succeed and begin to experience a massive amount of traffic visiting your site.

Use The Right Business Tools

In order to see the light of your well-conceived marketing plan or strategy, you do need to find good business tools to achieve your result. One of the best traffic generating programs that you can join is Traffic Tornado, which has 28 different traffic exchanges under its wings. This unique downline referral builder allows promoting several programs together. Besides building traffic faster, it lets you extend your marketing reach to a wider audience. Promoting these programs generates traffic from the activity of members that you introduce.

Download and use a software called Mozilla Firefox. It is a very powerful and easy to use web browser, which has the ability to open multiple sites and windows inside a single browser task. The great thing about this program is that multiple pages can be saved as a group and reopened together (your start page addresses). You'll be able to surf with 10 of your traffic exchanges at the same time. Using this method, a surfer can easily generate a thousand hit credits within an hour. I am sure this would be a real encouragement too if you are just starting a home business.

Building An Opt-in List

Traffic Exchanges can help you grow your leads and opt-in list for your business. There are two good ways to do this by introducing Splash Page and Squeeze Page.

Splash Page

Splash pages are fast loading pages designed to get better results using the traffic exchanges. Remember always that the person viewing your page is primarily concerned with generating traffic to their site and want to do so in as little time as possible. If you have a great big long page with your offer no matter how well written the odds are against you. You need to do something creative that will grab their attention quickly.

Squeeze Page

A squeeze page is used like a splash page but with an email capture form on it from an auto responder. The best way is to find a product or write an email series to give away to get them to join up to your list.

>From Leads To Customers

If you have a system to convert leads into customers, traffic exchanges can be an excellent low cost addition to your marketing portfolio. When properly used, you can generate leads at a low cost.

In conclusion, you can see how a traffic exchange, if used properly, can really help your work at home business reach greater heights. If only more people take the trouble to understand it a little better, there would be lesser internet marketers proclaiming that traffic exchanges do not work.

Traffic is the blood of all Internet Businesses. No website can survive without any visitor. In order to generate more sales and making you more money, you need quality traffic.

Aside from ensuring you have a great product to sell, you also need to massively expose your sales page to the targeted crowd. Owning your traffic is essential to your longevity on the net because if you don¡¯t own your traffic, you don¡¯t own your business.

If you already have a website and you are looking into getting more traffic and are limited by budget constrain, you may look into the following quickest and easiest ways to boost your website traffic for free.

1) Reciprocal Links

Getting relevant, solid reciprocal links to your website can help to increase your web traffic from people who click on the links. Reciprocal links also play a major role in boosting your search engine rankings.

Reciprocal links will benefit both websites from the efforts both webmasters do to enhance their sites traffic.

When one site features another sites link, they could provide one another with the traffic one site generates. The efforts are doubly beneficial because it would seem like both of you are working to generate more traffic. The more links traded with more sites the more traffic could be expected.

2) Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs or minimal costs. This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky. You can attach your product link to video, article and submit to social networks such as my-space, you-tube, and article directories. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people. Viral marketing makes use of the tendency of a person to share something to find informative, entertaining or amazing.

3) SEO Optimization

Search Engines would be the most widely used Internet tool to find the sites that they need to go to or the product or information they need.

Most people that use Search Engines use only the ten top search results in the first page. Making it to the first page, more so to the top three is a barometer of a sites success in Search Engine optimization. It is essential to grab a hold of that spot or make your ranking even better.

Develop a content site and use proper keywords or keyword phrases in your site. Having the right keyword and keyword phrase is a requirement in ranking high in search engine results. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to do it for you. By using proper keywords you could also target the market that you intended to promote to.

4) Article Marketing

Attach your sites description and services at the end of the article with your website link. The more directories you submit, the more exposure you will generate.

Articles are one of the most effective no cost real methods for generating instant free traffic.

cheap SEO

Posted by MarkFrancis | 4:52 AM

SEO forms a very important part of the success of a website. After all you want as much visitors as possible to your site in order to increase your sales. Like the law of supply and demand, once professionally done SEO is growing in importance, the price asked by most companies for a good SEO job will increase too. So what to do if you are running a small home based business and you are faced with SEO offers of up to $4000 for small job? Perhaps even the job isn’t that costly at all but the SEO specialist’s time is.Off course he wants his time to yield as much for him as possible. Let me tell you, affordable SEO is still available. What many experts won’t tell you is that, more often than not, they have very sophisticated software at their disposal. Software like that does lot of the web site analysis to be done before the SEO can be implemented which saves a lot of time. The next point of concern is that imagine you would be able to find a relatively cheap SEO? Would you trust it? Doesn’t cheap mean that it is no good? Or perhaps the “cheap” agency is run by scam artists? No doubt this is still true is many cases. Either there are companies that charge (criminal) amounts of money for a good SEO job at one hand and there are the “cheap” scam artists at the other. However it is my belief if you do a good search on the web you will still find some honest guys that are willing to work for you at an honest price and really give you a good return on your money.

How much work there is involved? First the SEO analyst will have to “scan” your website as to what is there and what is still missing SEO wise. Has the web site been submitted at all for the search engines? Have the right keywords been filled out at the various tags? Is the text or tile of the site search engine friendly? SEO experts use sophisticated software that “scan” all those details. After that they will advise you about how to get a better content,will supply you with a list of good keywords, will advise you how to restructure your site if necessary; all imperative actions to optimize the site for search engines and Page rank.

How much time will a typical SEO cost? Well the depends the size of the project off course but mind that SEO is a marathon and not a sprint. SEO is a process rather than an action. If your site’s current page rank is zero,a good SEO job could get it to 3 in 2 months and to 5 in 4/6 months, also depending on the content of the site.Most of the work for the SEO expert comes in the beginning of the job. After all the work on the site, tags etc is done than the site might need some fine tuning or re submission to the search engines a few times. Therefor usually most agencies work with a maintenance agreement of up to 6 months.

Of course if I talk about cheap or affordable SEO I don’t mean cheap in a sense of $100 a project but, depending a bit on the work involved off course,I would say about 40%/50% off the general market rates. That’s what I call affordable and accessible to most home business owners.

Reciprocal Links

Posted by MarkFrancis | 4:44 AM

Reciprocal Link Exchange is a very popular and valuable practice. This can be a valuable tool for information sharing and it helps establish communication among web developers and creates strong on line communities.

A reciprocal link simply means that two websites are linking to each other. Both sites generate traffic for each other simultaneously.

Building links is a very good way to improve how high you rank on a search engine index. Links consist of your hyperlink of your web site that is posted onto another web site. The more links of your web site that can be found throughout the internet on other sites, usually the higher you will rank in the search engines.

You can't just put your website on the net with right keywords and all the right touches and expect your traffic and ranking will remain constant. As the web is an ever changing landscape, you have to keep track of your own web results like what is happening with the competition and also the best and highest ranked sites.

Tips and recommendations for designing a Good Reciprocal Link Campaign

- Set a goal. Figure out how fast you can do it, then create a plan to increase and improve your Page Ranking. Start your own Marketing Linking Campaign;

- Choose your reciprocal links wisely. Connect only to websites that contain related information that readers will enjoy.

- Use your time collecting valuable information on your site, and then tell everyone you can! Offer a web site full of interesting details that similar sites' readers can't live without. The best way to gain readership is by offering a valuable resource! - If you want to improve your Page Ranking try to do not link to sites that are irrelevant to yours and avoid sites that have a "Links Page" that is hard to find.

- Write relevant articles and publish them for free. Make sure to include a Bio Box that includes a link to your site. Stipulate that the article may be reprinted for free as long as the Bio Box is included. This will instantaneously provide extra links to your page when people reprint your work.

- Email other webmasters and simply ask for a link and provide a pre-coded HTML link for them to cut and paste to their page.

- Do not link to sites with directories that are haphazardly arranged with no categorization and avoid sites that contain more than 40 - 50 links per page. Your link will be hard to find...

- The fastest and most powerful way to make your website known is to submit it to as many relevant web directories as you can. Directory submission is the BEST way to gain targeted traffic to your site. - Celebrate each small success and keep in mind every small step in the right direction is bringing you closer and closer to your main target.

Choose wisely! And be patient, be persistent, be creative! Even if you only acquire one third of the links you pursue, your efforts will be well-rewarded.

How To Find Profitable Adsense Niches

Posted by MarkFrancis | 3:24 AM

The profitability of an Adsense niche is primarily based on the amount that Adwords advertisers are spending to compete in that niche.

Remember that an Adsense ad is only an Adwords ad that is appearing on your site and not Google. The amount that an ad generates per click is therefore directly related to the amount that Adwords advertisers are paying per click. Bottom line - if they are paying more we earn more.

So how can you find out which niches (and which keywords inside those niches) advertisers are spending more money on?

I use two different methods:

1. Keyword Research With Keyword Country

As you will have probably have started to gather I cannot lay enough praise on this tool. In fact I struggle to understand how I researched, chose and targeted niche sites before I got hold of it...it's that good. Aswell as being able to search by category or keyword you can also search by price range. For example, you can decide to find keywords that have an average cpc of say between $18 and $20. If you enter this price range it will return a list of keywords which fall inside that parameter - in this case - 3957 different keyword phrases.

The top 5 rated keywords in this cpc range were: "credit card", "free credit report", "mortgage rates", "consolidate debt" and "website hosting". All you need to do is go down the list work out which ones would be suitable for an Adsense monetized information site, extend your keyword research by taking your chosen phrase and entering it into the search box, build the content, integrate the Adsense and promote your new website.

This is a simple and effective way of finding out where the advertiser dollar is being spent and consequently where the Adsense dollar may be earnt.

As a side issue - with tools like Keyword Country available you should never pay for a keyword list. For less than their cost you can get access to a complete keyword database which includes extensive analysis and ratings in terms of profitability and potential for every keyword or keyword phrase entered into the search engines. Spend your money wisely.

2. Affiliate Analysis With CJ

A different method is to forget keywords for a minute and to focus on markets and their advertisers. Adwords advertisers are made up of two types of people - companies and affiliates. We can't easily find out how much companies are making but we can find out how much their affiliates are by joining up to a third part affiliate network like Commission Junction (CJ), which connects companies that are selling products and website publishers like me and you who are willing to promote them for a commission.

My premise is that if you find the markets that are profitable for affiliates you will find the markets that are profitable for Adsense monetized sites. Why? Because a profitable market is one that you can spend a good sum of money on advertising and still make a healthy return.

Where the affiliates are earning good money, the companies and the affiliates will be spending big money on Adwords advertising.

You can find which markets are profitable in CJ by using their catrgory lists and sorting features. Once logged in simply follow this process:

1. Click on Get Links > this will take you to a categorical listing of all the advertiser programs.

2. Choose A Market From The Category List > this will bring up all the advertiser programs inside that niche category.

4. Click "3 Month EPC" > this will bring the top performing affiliate programs in that niche to the top of the pile. EPC stands for "earnings per click" (at CJ this is earnings per 100 clicks) and illustrates on average how much affiliates are earning for each set of 100 people they direct to that program. For example, the top performer in the financial services niche is a company specialising in mortagage refinance and equity release, with a massive 3 month epc of $354.90.

Now I have my profitable niches - "mortgage refinance" and "equity release" - I go to Keyword Country to see if my theory is correct. If I type in those two keyword phrases, Keyword Country will return to me average cpc, number of searches, competition, number of Adwords advertisers and profitablity rating for every keyword related to those two seperate niches. If I'm right the average CPC for these two keywords will be very high.

This is what Keyword Country told me:

Mortgage Refinance - average cpc $27.17 across 823 related keywords.

Equity Release - average cpc $10.145.

The theory proved correct and I've found two profitable niches that I could build a mini informational site around. In addition, I would integrate the appropriate high paying affiliate program which would give me a second means of monetizing my traffic.

There are hundreds and hundreds of these niches you just have to do the research and find them. If you're using the correct method and know where and how to look you'll be able to build a targeted site around a profitable niche within a few days. Again, these type of mini targeted sites are best and most effectively built using XSitePro.

Best of luck,

Step2
Grow Your Friend List. Your friend list is the key to succeed in Myspace marketing. You need to make as many friends as possible. You are going to look for friends that have interests in your website and blog content, or your product and services. This is the first challenge in your Myspace marketing.

Tips and Tricks for Growing Your Friend List Faster
1) Search for Myspace users in your niche and add them as your friends. There are plenty of groups created in Myspace, look for groups in the categories related to your niche , visit these groups and add them as your friends.

What product or services do you offer?
The products you should offer give benefits to your customers. If you will think about your income alone, you will not succeed.

Who is your Target Market?
Many people need lots of services and products, you should think about who needs it. In that way, you can focus and give them the benefits they deserve to have.

Many online businesses have their own Internet Marketing Strategies. Most of them have good income and continue increasing each month. The secret is they do not just let anyone to do the work for them, they become part of it and create an effective strategy. Here are tips for Internet Marketing Strategies to help you:

Research a lot on the We
Internet is a huge place. Obviously, there are many competitors and you need to think ways to be on top. Learn to research about their strategies and make your own. You should also look for places where your target customers are located like forums, social bookmarkings and more.

Data Analysis
The second important thing to do is to write down your competitor’s negative and positive aspects. Summarize all the data you have gathered and develop your conclusion. In that way, you can create your own strategy that will give you advantage to competitors.

Developing the Strategy
If you are ready, create your own Internet Marketing Strategy. There are many ways you can do like pay per click (PPC), blogging, email marketing, SEO, display advertisement and more. You should always think about the money and time you will spend. If you want to survive to the competitive world of internet, you need think about this matter many times.

Monitoring Internet Marketing Campaigns
When you have all the strategies to start, you should implement it. Monitor your customer’s action every time they visit your website. Look for keywords where your site has much traffic and where it came from to PPC, SEO, blogging etc. Comparing one to another and see what works and does not to have a better action.

Remember that Internet Marketing Strategies do not have rule. It always depends on the situation about money and time issues. Finding out your advantage to Competitors and your weaknesses can help you to create an effective internet Marketing Strategy.

Google AdSense is really a great money making program for webmasters. Before the existence of AdSense program. Making money online used to be very difficult. You will need to have a high quality product, possess advanced Internet marketing skills and be willing to invest a sum of money for setting up professional sale website and launching advertising different campaigns. You either make big money because of you product is selling well or make little that not even enough for covering your cost if the product doesn't sell.

The launched of Google AdSense changed everything. People have more choices when thinking about making money online. They no longer have to sell products on the Internet in order to earn income online. With Google AdSense program, they can become an AdSense publisher and earn ad revenue by displaying AdSense ads on their content-based website.

The Basic of Google AdSense
The concept is pretty simple. You put up a website with good content, insert your AdSense ads into your content site, and then drive targeted traffic to your website. Part of your visitors who finish reading your content will read your AdSense ad and click on it. For each ad click, you usually earn anywhere between $0.10 to $$0.60 depends on the niche of your site. Those publishers who gain large traffic have earned thousands or even ten thousands dollar of AdSense revenue.

Some publishers use one or two websites to make money with AdSense, some have their own networks containing a lot of websites displaying AdSense ads which make them lucrative AdSense revenue.

Why You Shouldn’t Focus on Many Websites
As an individual publisher, it is always best to focus on using only one or two websites for AdSense program. While building a network of websites such as building fifteen content websites in different niches seem to be a great idea to earn money with AdSense. The idea assumes that you can generate $3 to $5 AdSense revenue from each site daily making a daily total of $45 to $75 AdSense income if you own fifteen website. But, practically it is very hard to succeed this way.

To make AdSense works for you, each of your sites must have quality unique content. With 15 sites, it is not possible to create unique and good content for each site by you alone. Getting help from the professional writers seems to be a good solution. But those who can write quality content are often expensive to hire. You will have a lot of writer fee to pay before you earn a single dime from AdSense.

Another problem with this idea is the website-promotion part. To make each of the websites earns AdSense income; you must be able to drive a reasonable amount of targeted traffic to each site every day. With so many content sites you maintained, you will never have enough time and energy to generate consistent traffic to your all the sites. As you aren't staying focus, you could get tire and bored easily which end up none of the sites generate revenue for you.

The publishers who really make a big money with a network of websites are those who are serious about web publishing. They have a group of experts to help him/her to create unique quality content, handle web design and do AdSense optimization with sufficient financial resources to back their plan

Solution for Greater Site ROI

Posted by MarkFrancis | 7:53 PM

Internet advertising costs can get expensive. To get the top position in pay per click advertising sometimes you have to continually raise your keyword bids. Then in order to get enough clicks to make a sale you have to raise your budget. Banner advertising can cost you as much as $20-$50 per thousand impressions which could run you anywhere from $2,000-$5,000 per month. (http://www.bmcommunications.com/int_ad.htm) Text ads can also be expensive. One website charges $60 a month for a standard text ad. If you are using one or all of these advertising methods for your website you are probably losing money.

How would you like to track all your ads, find out how your visitors found your website, which search terms they used to get there, when the visitor subscribed to your newsletter, and when the visitor purchased from you? If you knew all of this information then you could eliminate the advertising that is not pulling in sales, which would save you a lot of money. There is a solution for better website ROI (return on investment).

Visit their website today to learn more on how you can better improve your web site’s ROI by tracking all of your advertising using your own secure server and save thousands of dollars on you advertising costs.

Once you have successfully launched your website, of course the next objective is to get visitors to it. In the movie Field of Dreams there is a famous line that says “If you build it, they will come”. Unfortunately, the same is NOT true about websites, unless you take some proactive steps to get (and keep) traffic coming to your new website. There are several strategies that will help generate traffic, below are just a few.

At www.startmywebsitetoday.com we offer some tools to assist you in your quest for traffic:

Express Email Marketing One effective strategy to reach out to past, present, and even future customers is via email marketing. You can send email marketing newsletters, information about updates to your website, or monthly product specials in order to keep your customer base informed. Some use the strategy of a link on their website allowing visitors to “opt in” for a regular newsletter from your site. Express Email Marketing streamlines this capability, with packages available for keeping in touch with up to 5000 of your customers on a regular basis. For more information about Express Email Marketing, click HERE.

QUICK BLOG Post information about your new website to related blogs around the internet. If your site is commercial, be sure that the blogs you are posting to allow posts from commercial sites. Better yet, build your own blog site. Our Quick Blog product allows you to easily build your own blog website, where you can post information about your website, update customers on new events or products, and share ideas with others concerning your products and information.

TRAFFIC BLAZER Perhaps the Holy Grail to most website owners is to be highly ranked with the major search engines. When you first publish a website to the internet, the search engines will not recognize the existence of your site. Therefore, you must visit each search engine website and fill out an online form to “submit” your site for consideration by that search engine. Unless you do this, the search engine will not have your website listed. You will have to go through this process for each and every search engine that you want to have index your site.

This process can be a tedious and time consuming one. Our product Traffic Blazer helps to streamline this process and take much of the time and tedium out of staying in front of the search engines. Traffic Blazer will submit your website to 200 search engines on the internet, and can be used to continually resubmit the site to them as you add to it or change it, so that the search engines have an updated version of your website at all times.

TRAFFIC FACTS Once you get traffic to your website, let's talk about fine tuning it. Not every visit to your site will result in a positive action or sale. But that doesn't mean you can't profit anyway! How? By learning about your visitors. StartMyWebSiteToday.COM provides Web site statistics free with every Hosting and WebSite Tonight® account. But if you want more detailed data that can help you target specific customers or create more effective offers then you need the power of Traffic Facts.

With Traffic Facts you will really know your customers. Every visit to your website will tell a story, such as where geographically the customer came from, what website they linked from, what pages were viewed, where the customer went from there, etc. All of this information will help you to optimize and really target your website to your customers.

If you want real visibility but don’t want the hassle of paying top dollar for PPC listen up – there is a quick solution. Its easy to forget that there is literally unlimited real estate when it comes to marketing yourself on the Internet. That means endless pages of sales copy, video testimonials and many more ways to get the customers attention.

If you were to compare prices then it is a no brainier – online marketing wins every time. You couldn’t afford to run multiple full page ads in a niche periodical without feeling the burn of high costs. Even though you can run all of your teaser sales copy online I am surprised at how stingy business owners are when it comes to self promotion. Instead of embracing the idea of wide open spaces I see a lot of business people rewriting over the same five pages. This defeats the purpose of creating real brand awareness on the web.

Give The People What They Want

I am often surprised at the great contrast of aggressiveness on the PPC side as opposed to your standard web pages. Many people forget to put their selling messages into the title of their pages. A consistent mistake I see a lot of business owners make is to brand every web page with the same information, (EX: Welcome To Fisher’s Air Conditioning Systems). Not only is this a dumb thing to do but it also offers nothing to the surfing consumers who could be visiting your site.

Your customer wants to see something for free. Information is the number one thing people are looking for. Remember to sell the sizzle but not the steak. PPC ads sell a lot of sizzle because they don’t have enough online real estate to do much else. There is a very tight formula that they must stick with. You must remember to do something similar on your own pages.

I was going through a weekend issue of USA Today and smiled as I hit the classified section. Every Friday I can count on many businesses opting for my attention. Some of the ads are very believable and all of them are incredibly blunt. They get right to the point about what they want to say and they manage to put in a call to action in under 5 lines of copy. I must add too that these are very short ads.

Create Grabbers

Encourage people to steal from you. Put white papers and downloadable content that people can outright pick up and steal. Post articles on your site and encourage people to come and take a look at them. Allow people to steal the whole article and place them on their sites. Create in roads to your order page by creating an elaborate web of online traffic. This is something that you can actually control. It is very time consuming so make sure you know what you want.

Joe Vitale has said to look up under keyword searches and find out what is popular. Then based on that you can create ebooks and white papers to draw traffic to your site. Now there is an art to doing this and you will need to learn a few key things about search engine optimization, (SEO) before you actually do it. But this is a pretty interesting strategy. Think of the many ways you can create a steady flow of the right kinds of people to your site.

Online ebooks are fairly simple to make and you can create a considerable flow of visitors with the right bait. This is going to take a little finesse on your part. Remember that people hate to read and they like a lot of visuals. You can use embedded audio and video in your ebooks and private web pages. Take advantage of the fact that people have 1/3 of their brain dedicated to audio and visual learning. You can take this to a new height with niche focused content and material.

You can still get the attention that a typical PPC ad can bring by changing your approach. This is a powerful strategy that you can employ in your online campaign. Creating prospect funnels to your site is art form. You have to know what they might want to grab. You can make your content enticing by giving it away for free. I like to use a lead capturing device on these types of sites. In addition to getting information you will want to make sure there is an automated responder tied into this function. This alerts the customer and lets them know you are paying attention to them.

Traffic Building And Finished Home Work

Posted by MarkFrancis | 11:32 AM

One of the quickest ways to drive traffic to your site is to key in on a hot topic. If you have a site dedicated to why butter melts on summer days and then you place a series of supporting articles on your site you may not wind up with as much traffic as you’d like. This may be due to the fact that this is an issue most people don’t really think about much – or perhaps they’ve already learned the secret.

However key in on a controversial topic like the death penalty or hate crimes you will likely find improved traffic. You can also look for emotionally connected issues such as weight loss or an improved health.

Once you’ve optimized your site with appropriate keywords or phrases your site will likely find its way into a better place in search engine rankings and it may show up in Google’s email program.

When visitors make it to your site you should attempt to ensure that you can welcome them back again at an appropriate time. Many sites do this with the offer of a free report when the individual decides to leave the site. The offer will usually say something like, “Don’t leave yet. As a way of saying thank you…” and then will explain the report, tip or ecourse that is being offered with a simple and absolutely free sign up.

If the visitor is interested and the information you have on your site has been valued then that guest may find it in their interest to sign up for your free newsletter. This is especially true when they know they can opt out at any time.

Most sites manage this with time-released autoresponders, but the intent remains improved traffic.

I have been to some health related sites that were infused with health information, testimonials, quotes from doctors and article archives that provided a comprehensive look at the health issue being discussed. The exit strategy left me with a choice about receiving reports on additional ways to combat this potential health issue as well as recipes that will help aid in a healthy lifestyle.

At that point, if a site visitor has any interest at all, it becomes a fairly easy decision – perhaps as easy as bookmarking the site. All they need to do is provide an email address and a first name. The reports are sent and the visitor has regular links back to the primary site if they need more information or want to make a purchase of an ancillary product or service.

Traffic that is built from individuals who have a motivation for visiting the site is much more beneficial than using email marketing that can be little more than a shot in the dark if the list is leased. You might hit something, but they may not be happy about it.

Work to optimize your site at the beginning of your online journey and then develop a desirable means of encouraging first time guests to come back. If you’ve done your job right many of them will take you up on your offer.
