YOU may be in VIOLATION...

How Y-O-U doin?
Freddie here...all coffee'd up and
jittery fingered to give you another
little 'tip' and mindset.
May I ask?
Are you in violation?
Do you violate one of these 3 rules?
Let's take a look see?
How much trouble do you have
writing your 'landing pages'?
or deciding even what to put on them?
(If you're not sure what a landing page is, they
are the page you send your article traffic or Pay
Per Click traffic to and then send them to the
merchant or program you are wanting them to
purchase.)
I know I use to sit there like a zombie staring
at the screen...and I know other folks need help
with this too because I get LOTS of cries for help from
fellow "Zombies".
So...
Let's see if I can help DE-Zombify
this darn landing page thing?
Here's 3 simple rules that
I want ANY of my landing pages, sales pages
or articles to accomplish.
When I violate any one of these 3 'rules'
my conversions suffer...but I also suffer
in more horrible ways too...
Let me explain...
******
Rule 1
******
1. I want the visitor to say to themselves within SECONDS
"This is EXACTLY what I was looking for."
and even better...
"It's like they read my mind."
Need an example?
Let's say you are selling "sausage makers".
and say someone comes to your page after typing
in "gas sausage makers"
You should send them to a page that says...GAS SAUSAGE
MAKERS.
It's easier to send all of the traffic to your generic "sausage maker"
page...
BUT ...
You are ignoring the EXACTLY part of rule 1...and your
conversions...sales...and mood WILL suffer.
Now you could take this even farther...by doing a little research.
If you know that people searching "gas sausage makers" are
also wanting prices under $100's or they are concerned with
the safety of the less expensive models.
Imagine...
When they hit YOUR landing page that says...
" Safety Ratings for Gas Sausage Makers Under $100"
Can you imagine the small reaction they will have in
their head?
They might think...
"MY GOD...that's EXACTLY what I was looking for...it's
like they read my mind."
SCORE ONE for you...(and one for them.)
See how this is better than beating your head against the wall
and coming up with some HYPED up headline like...
"The BESTEST in the world SAUSAGE MAKER you
just gotta have if you call yourself a sausage maker."
and...
This is especially powerful because it leads right in to
rule 2.
*****
Rule 2
*****
Give 'em VALUE!!!!!!!
For GOODNESS SAKE...give 'em
some VALUE!!!!!!!!
I would make an edy-mi-cated guess that
98% of the landing pages I look at for folks
or those of my competitors do NOT do this.
In fact...
I just got into a raging argument over this...as someone
was basically saying BOGUS reviews and BOGUS
testimonials are okay...because you can't be expected
to buy every product.
I think that attitude is just HORRIBLE...and someday
when you reflect back on life...you aren't going to remember
the dollars that you made...you WILL remember the impact
that you made on other peoples lives.
Your impact can be postive...or negative.
I wanna depart from this Earth leaving it a little
better than I found it.
I betcha you do too:-)
and here's the MILLION dollar question?
How much work would it really take to add some value?
Do you really have to buy the 'gas sausage maker' to go
and research the safety ratings?
of course not...
and if you can save a person (your visitor) a couple hours from
having to do it on their own?
Aren't you?
Adding value?
HECK YES!
and if 10 people a day see your page...your
adding value to 3,650 peoples lives every year!!!
And can you guess the BIGGEST benefits of
all?
Your visitors are gonna LOVE you, bookmark
your pages, send their friends to your pages, Google's
gonna love you and YOU ARE GONNA MAKE
SOME SERIOUS BANK!!!!
Cuz they are gonna BUY from you!
How nice would it be to die rich AND happy
with your achievements:-)
and this leads nicely into...Rule 3.
*****
Rule 3
*****
Rule 3 is a cinch because if you've
followed rule 1 and 2 this one comes naturally.
Rule 3 is simply GET YOUR VISITOR TO
LEAVE your site...and leave in a GOOD MOOD.
and leave your site...means clicking on your
'money' links to your merchant...
or...
If you are selling directly...clicking the 'buy now'
button in a good mood.
Like I was sayin...rule 1 and 2 go a looong way
towards this...
But be careful because...
... you still can 'screw it up' if your tone
is wrong...or you show no empathy towards your visitor.
Here's a quick example:
I see sales pages all the time for 'make money' products
that infer that I am a lazy...good for nuttin'...low brow.
That some how...if I'd just get up off my butt...I'd make
some money.
Have you seen pages like that too?
Always sounds like those pages are written by some
'punk kid' that NEVER had kids to raise, a lawn to take
care of, laundry to do or dinner to make.
We AREN'T lazy...we're so BUSY we are about
to go cukoo....cukoo...cukoo.
Do you get as hot under the collar as I do when
you see those 'punk kid' pages?
Don't EVER do that to your visitors...
and...
It's easy to offend folks.
If you READ your pages outloud and make sure
they have the same tone...as if you were talking to
your friend...you'll do just super!
DANG this got long!
Let's review right quick:
Rule 1. Make your visitors silently say...
"This is EXACTLY what I was looking for."
Rule 2. ADD VALUE!
Rule 3. Get them to go to your 'money page' in
a GOOD MOOD.
These 3 rules have been VERY lucrative
and successful for me.
Sometimes I will ADD to this...
But...
When my pages don't convert well...I know
I've VIOLATED one of these 3 rules.
Hope you know how much you mean to me!
...and hope I've left your world a little better
place too:-)
Peace,
Freddie

Pay Per Click for Beginners

Pay-Per-click advertising is a great way to make money with affiliate programs. Unfortunately not every Pay-Per-Click engine is really effective. Sometimes you can get a lot of traffic but very few buyers. The best PPC advertising is Google Adwords. If you prepare your campaign properly you will get targeted visitors within hours coming to your site.

There are 2 sources that Google uses for these ads. Their search engine and different related websites (content). The most targeted is their search engine. From content you will get a lot of traffic but not as many actual buyers. Whether you include content or not, bear this in mind and consider your targeted market.

Steps for starting a Google Adwords campaign:

1. Make your account and watch for the confirmation link needed to activate it.
2. Start a new campaign by clicking the link “Keyword-Targeted” campaign.
3. Name the campaign
4. Name your ad group
5. Name the area, country, territory, regions, cities, or customized
6. Make your ad – it needs to have a high CTR (click through ratio). Take care to do this well.

Tips to improve your campaign:

1. Monitor your campaigns well and carefully
2. Join high paying affiliate programs to offset costs and make this campaign really effective
3. Use as many keywords as you can to attract all the people in your market

Mistakes to avoid:

1. Do not use mirror sites - for Google campaigns it is good to have a landing page for your program if possible.
2. No Pop ups or Pop under are allowed by Google
3. Do not bid too high - although Google will often adjust this and lower your bid

Google Adwords is very cost effective. It only takes a $5 deposit to start off your campaign. Read the entire tutorial that Google provides very carefully before you begin. Start with low bids and work up. Understand that some keywords will have high bids and others low ones. You will need to watch your campaign very well to ensure it is not going over your budget.

This campaign hinges on using targeted keywords. You can get keywords for your site at http://goodkeywords.com Google will also supply you with some basic ones based on your web address. You can then further define and narrow down the options by [ ] and “ “ etc.

You can find good resources and products that pay well at this free website. http://www.moreniche.com. You may take a little time to get the hang of this but once you do you will find affiliate programs and Google Adwords are indeed a match made in heaven.

Managing your time for...

Managing your time for maximum profit

When you are running a business there are many things to do and you can easily get overwhelmed. An affiliate business is no different from any other business and it is important to get organized or you can lose control of your business and find that it is running your life instead of you running your business.

In order to prevent this, it is vital for your sanity to organize your time. You can do this by listing all the things you have to do and prioritizing them. Once you do this you can make a weekly schedule and then break it down into a daily plan of action. Decide how much time you need to spend on your business and discipline yourself to allocate that time to building your enterprise everyday.

Once you have your priorities set and have planned how many hours you need to work your business you can easily make your daily and weekly plans. When you do this you will find that you accomplish more tasks in less time, as you will be more focused on what you need to do.

Be realistic in your goals and be sure that you have a rough idea of how long they will take. Do not try to do too much or you will end up getting nothing done. Work one program at a time, perfect it then duplicate your success. Build on your successes and learn from failures. Tracking and recording will save you a lot of time and allow you to quickly reference places to advertise and promote.

Outsource whenever you can to save your time and build your business fast. You can save a lot of time and get more things done by hiring others to help you. So do not lose your mind. Just organize your time and you will find there is more time in the day to run your business and enjoy your life.

Make Money Writing Articles........

Making money by writing and submitting articles

Article distribution is one of the most powerful ways of promoting your site. You can either write or have written articles about your products. There are a variety of different types of articles you can use, but one of the most popular is informative articles. Another popular article type is a product review.

Distribution: You can do this manually and find all the article directories and libraries etc online, and then manually submit your article. This is free but very time consuming. You can use software, which is a little limited or you can use a good service that will cover a wide variety of lists and directories.

Before you submit your articles, be very sure that you have a good bio box that will allow your readers to click through to your website.

Article submission will help your business in several ways. Here are a few of them:

• Establish you as an expert in your field: This will gain you more trust and credibility, and will encourage more clicks through and sales.
• Create back links: These links will increase your Page Rank with Google and allow you to get a better position in their search engine.
• It will also bring more people to your website through the links.

You can either write your own articles or have someone write them for you. Another way is to take advantage of free content from http://www.moreniche.com. You can join this site for free and they will send you fresh articles every week.

Modifying the articles for your use: Of course your content will need to be original, so you would need to rewrite the articles for your own use. You can also just use the ideas and write a brand new article. These articles will be very useful for you, as it will save you hours of research and writing. They will also keep you up to date with various new trends in your industry.

Make sure you get paid.....

Make sure you get paid the most from affiliate programs

Getting a decent commission from your affiliate programs is very important. You are spending your hard earned money and time on sending warm ready to buy traffic to your sponsor’s site and getting him sales so it stands to reason that you do not want to be working for pennies. Here are some points to check:

Percentage of commission: One of the first things you should check in regards to commissions is the percentage of sales they are offering. Try to go for 20% and above. Even for a high end product 10% is not worth it. Remember you have to put up the money for advertising and marketing. Your costs need to be covered and allow you to be in profit.

Residual income: Try to get some affiliate programs that pay a good commission monthly. These will be programs like autoresponders, membership sites. Recurring sales like vitamins and health products that customers will order again and again are also good sources of residual income.

2-tiered programs: Try to join 2-tiered programs you will earn passive income from your sub affiliates. Of course do not rely on these as the percentage will be quite small, but try to build up a number of sub affiliates to supplement your income.

Good sales copy and sales page that converts well: It is no good sending warm, ready to buy traffic to your sponsor if they do not have a good sales page. It is just a waste of time and money. If you would not be persuaded to buy from the sales page there is every reason to believe that others will feel the same way.

Make sure the product is good: There is no point promoting substandard products and services. This will also harm your credibility.

When you apply these points you can make money and increase profits with your affiliate programs. MoreNiche Affiliate Offers you everything that you want and more go here

Make the most money with niche markets

Affiliate marketing and working with niche markets is the way to go today if you are young and eager to make a lot of money. I’m not saying that affiliate marketers never have to work a single day in their lives and just rake in the cash while sitting out by the pool, but there are tremendous perks to this job. Do you hate going to work every day? Commuting, whether by car or mass transit, is an absolute bore. The hours you spend every week commuting are lost hours that you will never get back before you die. So why not choose something better?

The best thing about affiliate marketing is the freedom to work in a relaxing environment. The “office” could be your home desk, the kitchen table or, why not?, a table by the pool. Every day is “casual Friday” and all your tools are concentrated in the computer. No paperwork to shift around from one desk to another. And the earnings are on par with the setting. The more effort you’re willing to put in building a maintaining a nice website, the more money will come in every day. If this isn’t a good deal, then I don’t know what a good deal could be.

Some people think that affiliate marketing is too much work and that splashing some AdSense ads on a page is far easier. It might be so, but how much money can you get out of AdSense? Two or three dollars a day? Come on, that’s not money but loose change. Affiliate marketing may be a bit harder than AdSense, but this is where people actually spend money. If you play with the big boys, you could make as much as $175 out of every sale. That’s the equivalent of 58.3 days of AdSense at $3 per day you can make in one day.

What many people don’t realize is that the global economy is going through a huge spending period. Across the world people are willing to pay good money for all kinds of products and the Internet has made it easier than ever to spend money. eCommerce has made it possible for people to buy things they had never had access to before. Orders pour in and products and services move across countries because people can search the Internet for answers to their problems and are willing to pay for solutions, regardless or where they come from.

It’s like a river of money moving across the planet and you can become one of those who help connect the buyers with vendors and cash in commission while never leaving their armchairs. The gap between offer and demand is huge nowadays because there are far more people with money out there than there are people who sell things. The key is to find products that are underrepresented, highly demanded and pay high. Until now affiliate information packages do not address this. Many of the marketing programs out there are about re-selling the program you have just purchased.

But things are about to change for you because help is on the way. MakingYouRicher is a comprehensive guide on niche marketing that teaches you how to make thousands a month by learning where to find the highest paying products that are searched for by millions. Visit www.makingyouricher.com/index.html and see for yourself all the opportunities that are only waiting for a quick witted marketer to take advantage of them and get rich fast.

Supplemental Index Ratio Calculator

What is the Supplemental Index Ratio?

Google has a secondary index containing pages pages considered of less importance.
This pages are considered supplemental results, and returned in SERPs only if there are no pages from the main index matching the given search term(s).

The Supplemental Index Ratio tells you what percentage of pages indexed from your website are supplemental results.
The lower your Supplemental Index Ratio is, the better.

How Can I Lower My Supplemental Index Ratio?

The primary solution is to get more relevant inbound links… but this is the solution of 90% of SEO problems.
Some other suggested solutions are

  • Avoid duplicate content
  • Write long posts
  • Avoid linking at bad neighborhood
  • Avoid excessive reciprocal links

18 FREE Web Design Resources

18 of the BEST FREE Web Design Resources:

Send me thousands of Guaranteed Visitors

Does the prospect of building a website fill you with uncertainty -- possibly even dread?

If your answer is yes, you're not alone!

In fact, if you asked other members of the "IMC Insider" community about it, you'd discover they also thought making a website was hard -- and that you needed advanced programming skills or graphic design experience to do it.

Nonsense! The truth is, building your first website is remarkably easy. So don't let your fear overwhelm you.

Besides, your first site doesn't have to be perfect. Once you've got something up and running, you can always make it better later on.

Here's a breakdown of the steps you need to take to build your site and make it "live" -- as well as lots of FREE resources you can use to do it...

1. Choose and register a good domain name

Your domain name is your business's "address" on the Internet, so it's crucial you choose the right one. Try to find a domain that gives browsers a hint of what they'll find at your site.

Tools to help you find a domain include...

* Nameboy's "Gen" (http://www.Nameboy.com/gen.php) – to get ideas for domain names
* Wordtracker (http://imc.Wordtracker.com/) – to locate possible domain names with popular keywords
* Domain tools (http://www.Domaintools.com/) – to see if a domain name is available
* For registering domains: http://www.GoDaddy.com

2. Host your website

Your web host is responsible for ensuring your web site is always up and running at top speed. If your site is always down... or if it takes ages to load... you can be sure you're losing money!

Here's our favorite hosting solution: http://www.1and1.com/

3. Learn basic HTML

While there's plenty of software you can use to build a site without knowing any code at all, it's actually helpful if you at least understand the basics of HTML. For some good free HTML tutorials, check out these sites:

* http://www.Davesite.com/webstation/html
* http://www.HTMLgoodies.com
* http://www.PageTutor.com
* http://www.WebReference.com/html/tutorial

4. Building your site yourself

For some great tools and information on simple, effective design, check out these sites:

* SitePoint: http://www.Sitepoint.com/
* Builder.com: http://Builder.com/
* Useit.com: http://www.Useit.com/

5. Software for building your site

"HTML editors" are software programs that allow you to design a webpage with little knowledge of HTML -- and they're as easy to use as any basic word processor.

* Nvu (http://www.Nvu.com/): Anyone can use this free tool to create and manage a website -- even if they have no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML
* Dreamweaver (www.Dreamweaver.com): This is the tool we use at IMC. It's good if you're willing to spend some money to get additional features not available on the free versions

6. Using an "all-in-one" solution

If you're a bit intimidated by technology, you may want to consider an all-in-one website builder, where a company provides you with all the tools you need to quickly piece together a site.

Go here to find our favorite: http://www.marketingtips.com/allinone

7. Resources for designing your web site

For good articles and resources on developing effective navigation and designing a simple site that works, check out these sites:

* Webmonkey: http://www.Webmonkey.com
* AnyBrowser.com: http://www.Anybrowser.com/
* WebDeveloper.com: http://www.Webdeveloper.com/
* Web Page Analyzer: http://www.Websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze
* NetMechanic: http://www.Netmechanic.com/

8. Adding "extras" to your site

You may want your site to go beyond basic HTML, especially when it comes to automating chores and making it more interactive for visitors. You can find "extras" -- like forums, content management systems, and shopping carts -- at these websites:

* www.HotScripts.com
* www.cgi.ResourceIndex.com
* www.ScriptSearch.com

9. Hiring a designer

If you can afford it, it's a good idea to hire a web designer to build the initial "template" for your website. Typically, this should include a logo, navigation menu, and the overall "look" for your homepage.

For a good, affordable designer, try: www.eLance.com

Good luck with your site,

I always use as many f/r33 5ervices as possible....

A member introduced me to a really interesting search engine submission 5ervice 1on40.com It combines a fr/ee submission 5ervice with a paid keyword bidding system. The paid to click or paid keyword listing 5ervice is actually fr33 for 120 days. At the end of 120 days the site Guar@ntees you will have #1 listings in Google, Yahoo plus 38 other engines. If you do search engine marketing, you know there are actually 2 sets of listings: the main list that starts at #1 through 10 on page 1, and then runs through #whatever; and a paid Adv3rtising list. This 5ervice is targeting the paid Adv3rtising niche.

I always use as many f/r33 5ervices as possible and this one looks promising. It appears you can actually earn cr3d1ts by promoting. It also has an affiliate program. I am testing the 5ervice out, and you may want to as well as it costs you nothing. 1on40.com

List Building ABC

List Building ABC or 123

Building your opt-in list gives you endless ways to pre sell; sell, and backend sell for a long time to come. For affiliate marketing you can work your list and build up profits. You will need to prepare the ground to do this, so that you can get maximum returns. Firstly be sure that you have a number of different affiliate programs selling related products. Then purchase resale rights to other related products and services that you know your subscribers will find useful.

You can promote your affiliate programs as primary front end products, in your newsletter. Then build an announcement list for those who like bargains and need more tools and services. You will use your resale purchases to do promotions to this list. You will be surprised at how many people will join this bargain list, and buy things at discount rates (special subscriber rates.) In this way you can combine your affiliate marketing and build up products of your own using your lists. The trick is to make sure these products and affiliate programs are highly targeted for your subscribers.

Recurring or residual income from affiliate products are also good to promote to your lists. Examples of these would be autoresponders and products with monthly subscription fees.

Other good products for creating residual income are vitamins and weight loss products. Customers will take these on a regular basis and will buy the products again and again. More Niches is a free to join affiliate program that offers weight loss products that are ongoing purchases. This is another good way to earn a continuous income.

You can rotate a few different ads for products like this to your list, and build a nice monthly income that will keep on snowballing. Make sure these products are highly targeted for best results.

There are hundreds even thousands of list builders out there but I would personally recommend one that offers more than just building a list and I have to say that Workfor3Dollars is by far the best, and the reasons I stand by that statement is you get paid to build your own list and members who join pay a small lifetime fee of just $3.00 less than a cup of coffee. Also you get added extras like 3x15 forced matrix and access to thousands of resellable products all with resell rights - Great, Great Value for just $3.00 Check it out by way of this funky banner below:

The Importance of.....

Importance of Diversification in affiliate marketing

When making your living with affiliate programs it is best to diversify. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly markets can change leading to a decrease in desire for a product. Companies can collapse, leaving their affiliate without an income. Even your hosting company can suddenly win up and throw your website offline. Search engines like Google can suddenly change the rules, algorithms and bring you ranking down to the bottom of the engine and causing you serious loss of traffic. These are just a few reasons to diversify.

Here are some ways to do this:

• Join several good programs - there is safety in numbers. If one of your sponsor’s goes out of business you will still have others to earn commissions from.
• Penetrate several markets. If one market gets cold you still have others to rely on.
• Have more than one domain names hosted on two different companies. Again if one hosting company is down for any reason you will still have back up.
• Lastly always use multiple methods of marketing. There are many ways to market and you should be using as many as possible. Marketing trends change and you need to be able to change with them

There are a few ways to implement these changes and have a growing affiliate business when you diversify. Here are a few points:

• Build a theme content website. This is a website that will have one central theme. For instance Health and Wellness. Join several affiliate programs that cater to this market. This will allow you to diversify the programs you are in.
• You can even carve different niche markets in this large and popular market and build mini sites or different theme websites linking in. This will allow you to penetrate several markets
• Having 2 hosting companies will of course prevent any complete downtime.
• There are several ways to market and you should explore them all.

When you diversify you will not only expand your business but be able to stay ahead of the competition and ensure your steady and growing income.

What is an affiliate program? An affiliate program is where you join a company and sell their products, for a commission. Getting started is easy, all you need to do is find a market you are interested in and join some related affiliate programs.

Research keywords in your market, and choose those with a large amount of searches and less websites supplying them. You can find out demand by going to overture search tool and seeing how many searches have been done. Putting the keyword into the search engine and looking at how many websites come up will give you supply. High demand and low supply will be your niche market.

Once you have one of these websites working and pulling in profits, you can go to another niche market and duplicate your success. Make these sites theme websites, so that you can promote more than one affiliate program from one place.

Try to choose some affiliate programs with residual income. This means that the customer will buy the product again and again, for instance a diet supplement or vitamins. Another form of residual income will be a product with a monthly subscription, like a membership site or autoresponder. ( Heres a good one)

Get to know the product. The best affiliates actually use their sponsor’s products. Write good informative content to pre sell your visitors and establish yourself as an expert in your field. People will trust you more when they see your expertise and you will get more clicks through to your sponsor’s site (Like MoreNiche for example)

Affiliate Scams

How to avoid affiliate Scams

Affiliate marketing can be a profitable and fun way to build your business. However, it is very important to be sure that you are choosing the right programs. There are a lot of good programs, but there are an equal number of companies that are outright scams and will never even pay you for your hard efforts. Worse still the company can suddenly close and still owe you your commission.

How to avoid these scams: The best way to avoid these scams is to do your research well. Check out these points before joining:

1. Does the company have good support? Do they answer emails and have valid contact information?
2. Do they have a valid offline address?
3. What % of commission do they pay; 30%-50% is the best.
4. Tracking system - this should be in real time and accurate.
5. Products, should be well targeted for your market and of good quality

Where to research:

1. Forums, related to your industry. There are many savvy people who use the forums and you may be sure they will tell it like it is. There are few programs out there that at least somebody has heard of and can give educated advice on.
2. Discussion lists
3. Look into the program carefully yourself.
4. Put the company name, plus the word scam, into the search engines and see what comes up. Use your own judgment, as sometimes these reviews may not be 100% unbiased.

The golden rule to avoid being scammed is to look before you join, and do not be afraid to ask other people’s opinions. If it looks too good to be true it very likely is, so do not get involved with a company that needs to hype up its opportunity or program. When you are alert and use caution before rushing into something you will be able to choose good reliable programs that will help you in reaping profit for many years to come.

5 Ideas

Five brilliant ideas for traffic generation

Traffic is the lifeblood of your affiliate marketing business. The more targeted traffic you send to your website the better your click ratio will be and the more sales commissions you will receive. Here are 5 ways that you can use to drive visitors to your website.

Blogging: This is like a web diary. You can write some interesting snippets or teasers for readers and link them to interesting places on your site. In this way you will be creating back links to your site, which will help you to improve search engine ranking. Added to this, if you put at least one set of your blogs on http://blogspot.com, Google will spider the link in about 2 days. This is because Google owns this blogging site, and their spiders crawl through there on a regular basis picking up links on new blogs. Combine this promotion with RSS feeds for more traffic.

Forums: Are fun ways to promote your business. Post question and answers in these forums. You will learn a lot and help others. Although you cannot advertise as such here or in discussion groups and boards you can leave your little email signature every time you post.

Viral marketing is one of the oldest and best forms of marketing. There are several ways to do this but the easiest is just to give away an e-book on your site and have a couple of links, and a full-page ad in the back for your product or service. Grant permission to your readers to give away the book and see this promotion snowball.

Social marketing like MySpace have also caught on and will work for some markets.

Article distribution is also a powerful way to promote your business and you can write or have articles written that are interesting and informative to your readers. This will bring many targeted visitors to your site. http://www.moreniche.com offers many resources including free weekly content in the form of articles. You can modify these and use them for your article distribution. This will save you a lot of time.

Pays Off

Ensuring your affiliate site pays off

Your affiliate site is the means by which you will attract visitors and pre sell them to click through to your sponsor’s site. You need to make it sticky so that visitors will stay and read all your content and then be curious to click through to your sponsor’s site.

One of the best websites to build for this purpose is a theme content site. This will have a main theme, like health and wellness. You can then join multiple affiliate programs related to this topic. It is best to find a niche market in this large and popular market.

Your domain name should attract and interest potential visitors. You should make it from one of your main key phrases. Your titles for your pages should also be based on your best key phrases.

Your website will be filled with informative pre selling content that will encourage click through to your sponsor’s site. This content should be optimized for the search engines but also informative and interesting for your visitors. When you write this type of content your visitors will gain trust in you as they see you as an expert in your field. More trust means that they will click through to your sponsor’s site and be more inclined to buy.

Always remember to pre sell not sell the products. If you sell to your visitors and they then go through and get confronted by your Sponsor’s sales page they will get put off and it will lower your sales conversion ratio. This is a common mistake of many affiliates and results in lost sales for them. It is important to warm your visitors and prepare them for the sale by giving them good content with links to your sponsor’s website. Let your sponsor do the selling and you just have to get your visitors to click through.

Improve Profits with Email Marketing

Email marketing a way to improve your profits

Email marketing is a powerful form of promotion. The best way to do this is to build up your opt-in list and mass mail to them via an autoresponder.

• Use an autoresponer to mail out your messages to save your time.
• Spam check your mail before you send it out so that you can get by the Spam filters and ISP blocks. Good autoresponders will sometimes provide you with a Spam checker.
• Always include your email signature file in every email you send out.
• Be compliant with the Can Spam Laws and include your physical address and name in every email. Also do not forget to provide an unsubscribe link when advertising to your lists.
• You can use short articles and information about a product to send to potential customers and clients to help you close the sale. There is a free website http://www.moreniche.com that provides free weekly content. You can modify and use this content for quick and easy promotions and for help to close the deal.

Your email signature file: You should not make it more than 5 lines. It should include; your name, your company name, a free offer like your free newsletter, and of course your URL.

SEO Guidelines

Search engine optimization is important because it improves the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines. Do you want to put your website in the high ranking? Here are some tips you have to consider:

Website Optimization = Content + Links = High Ranking

1. How Google Measures Link Popularity

Higher link popularity scores = Higher search engine ranking

Link popularity is by far the most important factor for determining your search engine ranking. You need to know what link popularity is, why it is so important, and how Google measures your link popularity (over 50% of all search engine traffic comes from Google, and if you can get to the top of Google, you will raise to the top of the others search engines as well).

Link popularity - the number of links (votes) that SE have for your site.

Here is a link for a good tool that measures the link popularity from SE’s. It shows you the link popularity from Google Yahoo and MSN and lets you to see the history report so you to figure out the rise of your site.

2. Articles:

Consistency is the key. It is a fact that as more and more articles are added to article directories, your article will go lower in the listings, but if you constantly and consistently submit new articles, then you will continue to reap the benefits. Making articles is a great way to build up the link popularity of your website. It gives you life-time links.

• Always close your articles off with a link to your site which is relevant to the copy of the article. Hyperlink the keyword with your url. For example:

Author Bio:

Quote:
“Johnny Brown is an expert in affiliate marketing. Visit his site for more online marketing tips.”

3. Control Your Words.

“Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts”.

This does not apply to our situation. In the Meta Tags, you must count every word and every keyword. Use a tool like this one to count the characters from your Meta tags.”

4. Optimize the Title Tag

• Include 1-2 of your most important keyword phrases in the title tag, but don't just list keywords.

If you just list keywords, you risk being viewed as spamming the search engines which can ultimately lead to you being blacklisted and not included at all.

• Your title tag should include your keyword phrases within a readable sentence to avoid this problem.

• Make your title appealing to humans!

Don't forget that even if you get that top listing in the search engines, our listing still needs to say something that makes the surfer want to click your link and visit your site.

• Since the length of your title tag could cause some engines to crop it, we suggest place the keywords at the beginning of the tag when possible to decrease the risk of having them cut off.

Each page of your site should have its own title tag with its own keywords that relate to the page that it appears on.

5. Optimize the Meta Description Tag

• Give appropriate descriptions (as some search engines display this description in the search result), make it more appropriate to your site. Put only targeted keywords in description. Do not stuff the description with more keywords. Restrict the number of words in this tag to 10 to 15 words.

• Place the most important phrases at the start of the description, so, even if any search engine omits some part of the description, the important phrases will be displayed.

6. Optimize the Meta Keywords Tag

The importance of Meta Tags is debated these days. So this is an optional extra.

• Include only the keywords that appear in the body text, and no more than 5-7 keywords. Add alternate spelling of words (including typos) and synonyms of those keywords.
