Search Engine Optimization is several things, it’s an art and it is a science. Search engine optimisation is artistic and it’s technical. It’s logical, parasitic and opportunistic. The aim of Search Engine Optimization is to maximise targeted types of valuable traffic to a web site from search engines by improving the visibility of said web site in Google organic or unpaid SERPS. Historically, this has meant aiming for no1, or high ten positions in Google however Google search engine optimisation has evolved and currently a SEO wants to be more of a marketer than simply a tech geek. A seo wants to be concerned, not simply with high positions in Google for appropriate keywords & keyphrases, however with analysing competition, traffic and analytics, and converting traffic to leads and sales. I prefer to draw a line between SEO and Linkbuilding. One (SEO) is on-page (on-site), the opposite, off-site (Linkbuilding).

When you begin your Internet business many people will tell you that in order to get your website noticed, you must get your site optimized for the search engines. They stress that this is the most important thing to consider. However, as soon as you get your site optimized, Google changes its search engine and you lose your page rank.

Instead of focusing solely on optimizing your website for the search engines consider using several simple offline strategies to get your site noticed.

Some of the most successful people on the Internet use simple strategies to get people to visit their website that don’t involve strategies that solely depend on the Internet.

One study reveals to us most people go to an Internet address (URL) after having read it in a newspaper or magazine, been given it by a friend or colleague, or having heard it being mentioned by someone speaking at a meeting or on TV. In other words, it seems that significant numbers of people who get to your web site will do so having heard the URL somewhere outside the Internet.

You don’t have to be ranked high in the search engines to get people to visit your website site. Here are two simple ways that you can market your website offline.

1. Write articles for use in regular publications – newspapers, magazines and so on. Always include your URL in the article and you’ll get millions of people to notice your web site address.

2. Speak at every opportunity. Make presentations to business clubs, chambers of commerce, local societies – you name it, you should speak at it. Every time you speak, announce or your web site address.

Although these are the two principal ways of gaining offline publicity for your web site, don’t neglect your business stationery, posters, car stickers and so on. The more your web site address is visible outside the web, the more visitors you will get regardless of how kind the search engines are to you.

The most important thing to remember is that the more links that are out there, the more traffic you will get. Add these simple offline strategies to your marketing arsenal. Keep working hard and smart. God loves you.

Beyond all the hype, what makes a viral marketing campaign successful? While many factors come into play, I believe that a desire to help others to succeed is the most important piece of the puzzle. In that spirit, here are eleven ways to succeed brilliantly with viral marketing.

1. Give people an opportunity to make more money than you do-much, much more! Operate with the mindset of a franchise owner. Mcdonald’s only keeps 3% of the profits from its many restaurants, but takes in billions of dollars every year!

2. Create a “mini-system” that people can easily apply to start profiting almost immediately. Give them every tool they need to start giving a free item away.

3. Put the “duplication factor” into play, again in the spirit of a franchise owner. Create a proven system for wealth, keeping a small percentage of the profits, and let people teach one another the system, or give them a central location they can come back to again and again for training.

4. Be a kind of “mentor” to the people that you want to give away your free items. Constantly help them to succeed, and by doing so you will succeed greatly yourself.

5. Develop a relationship with whoever you would like to give your your free items away to. They will in effect become loyal to you because you have demonstrated your willingness to serve them.

6. Occasionally e-mail your list with updates regarding the viral marketing campaign. Always keep it fresh, so they stay
excited about it.

7. Constantly refine and improve on your viral marketing efforts, and also add to them as well.

8. Help people to create their own viral marketing campaigns in a manner that benefits them as well as you.

9. Sell your product and offer generous affiliate commission to entice people to promote it.

10. E-mail newsletter owners (make sure they don’t mind you
e-mailing them) and give them an incentive to be part of your viral marketing campaign.Explain the benefits. For example, how much they can profit by taking part in your viral marketing campaign.

11. Line up joint venture deals that allow your joint venture partners to profit immensely-give them a lot while you take a little.

Success in Internet marketing, and in anything else in life,
requires ingenuity, creativity, determination and drive. I wish you much success with your Internet marketing campaign!

If you don’t have a list of your own then take advantage of
someone else’s to increase web site traffic!

What if I told you that there is a cost effective way to
increase web site traffic and get your ads in front of an
audience of 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, or even 50,000 targeted,
eager-to-buy, people…

Would you be interested?

I thought you would be…

The answer is not that hard; in fact it is pretty simple. It is
one of the most effective ways to advertise on the internet. The
little secret is utilizing ezines to promote your product,
service, or newsletter.

You see, there are thousands of ezines and newsletters on the
internet that will allow you to advertise in them. This is a
powerful tool that can increase web site traffic and get your
ads in front of thousands of people. Best of all these are
people that have an interest in your niche! Because they have
willingly signed up to receive the ezine that you are going to
place an ad in.

If you sell widgets then you need to find ezines that talk about
the widget industry. The beautiful thing about placing a
sponsor/solo ad in an ezine is that you are, in essence,
performing a joint venture. In some ways it is better than a
joint venture because you do not have to share the revenue with
someone. You simply pay to run the ad and then wait to get the
results.

In order to effectively utilize ezine ads to increase web site
traffic, you need to focus on 2 things.

FIND EZINES THAT ARE RIGHT FOR YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE

The first key to effective ezine advertising is to locate ezines
that are in the same industry as your product or service. You
certainly do not want to place an ad about fishing equipment in
an ezine about online marketing!

In my opinion, the best place to search for ezines is the
Directory of Ezines. It is the largest and oldest directory on
the web.

You can find it at http://www.directoryofezines.com

In the DOE (Directory of Ezines) you will find thousands of
ezines. I am sure that you will be able to find some in your
niche market. If not, and yours is an in demand market, then
there is an opportunity to start your own ezine! We will save
that for another article…

Do some research and find out how large their mailing list is,
how often they send out their publication, and how much the
advertising cost.

Do not focus on how large the list is for each ezine. Some
ezines with smaller, more targeted lists can be some of your
most profitable. I recommend visiting the site of the ezine and
subscribing to it so you can get a look for yourself. Please do
not pay for an ad to an ezine without reading the publication
yourself to see if it is a high quality publication.

I would suggest buying ads in as many as you can afford and
tracking the results to see how effective each has been. When
you find one that converts well then you know you will be able
to go back to that one over and over again!

Now that we have located the ezines that we want to advertise
in, it is time to take a look at the second factor for
successful ezine promotion.

WRITE AN EFFECTIVE AD THAT WILL GET THE CLICKS!

In order for ezine advertising to effectively increase web site
traffic you must have a terrific ad that pulls people in and
makes them click. If you are advertising in a targeted ezine
for your market, you already have a laser targeted audience. The
trick is to get them interested enough in your ad to force them
to click through to your site.

Mainly, there are two types of ads in an ezine:

1. Solo Ad
2. Sponsor Ad

First, let’s discuss the solo ad. This is usually the most
expensive ad to run in an ezine. The reason for this is because
it is the only ad on that page. These are also the most
effective ads to use in ezine advertising. Focus Now…These ads
are going to every subscriber for that ezine as a solo email! It
is almost as if the person that publishes the ezine is promoting
the product for you.

There are 3 ways to lay this ad out that work really well.

1. Compile the email like a mini-sales letter. Make sure that
you use direct response tactics that will get the clicks.

2. Put the ad in the form of a brochure that provides the potential
customer with valuable information about the product or service.
Try to make them think that this is a product they can’t live
without.

3. This is my favorite! Write the ad in the form of an
article that endorses the product or service. Give examples of
how you have used the product or service successfully in your
business. Make the article an Advertorial…These work really
well. Most people like good information, so supply them with
some.

The second form of ezine ads is the sponsor ad. Usually, there
are three sponsor ads in an ezine, the top sponsor ad, the
middle sponsor ad, and the bottom sponsor ad. The top ad is
usually the most expensive but you get the best conversion!

The middle sponsor ad would be the next in line in cost and
conversion with the bottom ad being the cheapest and least
converting ad. You need to do whatever your budget will allow,
but I would strongly suggest a top sponsor ad if you are going
to use sponsor ads.

Sponsor ads need to be written much like a classified ad. Make
sure that it applies solid direct response principles, because
the goal is to get the click!

Many ezines also have free classifieds that you can put your ads
in. I would encourage you to utilize these as well. The more
you get your name in front of people the more and more hits you
will begin to see on your site.

One last thing! Make sure that you track all of the ads you
run. When you find an ad that generates a great conversion then
expand your marketing methods using that same ad. You will also
find that some of these ezines perform better than others when
it comes to conversion, so track it!

Ezine advertising will increase web site traffic! It has been a
proven marketing method for me and I am sure that it can be for
you as well. If you will take these tips and use them as a
guide then your sales will explode. Remember, not all ezines are
created equal, so keep looking until you find the ones that get
you the clicks you’re looking for.

Every website needs a link exchange program. Every week,
set aside time to work on your link exchange program to
build up the quality and number of your text links out on
other websites within your niche market.

Why not exchange banners? Search engines are fueled by
text. Key words and links are what you are creating out on
other websites. Website visitors do indeed check link pages
and your text link on quality sites will generate some
degree of traffic for you. You may like the look of your
banner but when it comes to creating a strong link exchange
program – build your website description with good key words
and strong title with your URL.

What should your link exchange information look like?

A link exchange program starts with your own unique text ad
under 200 characters full of your key words, don’t need
sentences, put most important key words early in the text
ad, check spelling, no “ALL CAPS”
set up in this order:

Title

Description

URL

Your title – A descriptive title for your website, not
necessarily your domain name but the name you are branding
your site with. There are very strong websites that use a
title that describes the site rather than the domain name,
again, using strong key words. Others have opted to use a
title that starts with a number or letter “A” so that on
another website – their text link will appear early in the
page.

Website Description – Use Overture’s Keyword Selector
Tool to refine your text for your website description. The
more thought and planning you put into your title and
description, the more powerful your link exchange will have
on search engines.

Categorizing your own text link – To save time and energy,
think about what categories your text link would work on
(i.e. work at home recourses, parenting, home decor, time
management – the theme of your website) because some sites
will want you choose the category that your website will fit
in!

Once you have designed your own link description, you are
ready to set up your own link exchange program for your
website. As you will be asking other website owners to put
your link information on their “links” or “resource” page,
you need to set up your own page for you to place their link
exchange information. This is called reciprocal link
exchange.

Reciprocal Link Exchange – In essence, you are “swapping
links”. It is an even trade. Your text link on one of
their links pages with your URL pointing to your homepage
and you place their text link information on your links page
while setting up their link to connect with their homepage
(index page).

Before you can offer a reciprocal link exchange with another
webmaster, you will often need to show them you have already
put their link information on your website.

Designate at least one page for your link exchange program.
As your link exchanges grow, you will expand your pages into
different categories. Make sure your link exchange program
is linked to your main page and every page of your website.
Alphabetize and categorize your listing of reciprocal links.

Just starting your link exchange program?

Have your page all set up for links from other websites plus
have the information others need to exchange links with
you.

Once you have designed your own link information and a
resource page to put up the links information from your link
partners, it is time to start asking other website owners to
put Your Link Information on their own links page.

Choosing your link partners for reciprocal link exchange

Think niche. Your website has a theme, a specialty-
a marketing niche. Choose link exchanges with websites that
have similar themes. If your website is about handmade
candles then focus on websites that offer handmade,
handcrafted products. Explore websites with candle
accessories, home decor, gifts and aromatherapy.

Websites that offer what you believe your visitors would
enjoy are where you focus your link exchanges. Choose sites
that are complementary to your own, not competitive. The
more closely related the subject of your link partner’s
site, the more relevant your own link description will be to
their visitors and to search engines.

Page Rank – the higher the page rank of the site that you
exchange links with, the more impact on search engines.
That does not mean that you should not exchange links with
websites that only have a page rank of 3 or higher but the
majority of your link exchanges should be with websites
ranking well with top search engines.

Test your own link popularity – you have already exchanged
links with some websites and now you want to know if it’s
helping you with search engines. I found UpTimeBot usefully
for getting a handle on what’s happening with your link
exchange program.

Its disheartening that Google is slow to catch up with your
link exchanges but be persistent in your weekly time to set
up quality reciprocal link exchanges.

The other major search engines will help you with traffic
and link popularity until Google does it’s own bit.
Persistence with your link exchange program does pay off!

In the end, Google DOES catch all the hard work and you will
start getting the traffic and page rank your website
deserves!

Using a search engine is one of the most common ways to increase web site traffic and it can also be one of the most productive. However in order to make your business or website stand out among the amazing amount of other businesses out there, you will need to follow some guidelines. If you don’t you could risk losing business to other websites and you could also risk having your listing taken off of the search engine altogether which would probably result in a loss of a big percentage of your web site traffic.

Guidelines for using a search engine to increase web site traffic:

1. Choose your keywords and keyword phrases carefully. You may be able to hire an analyst for a fee to let you know what the most commonly entered search terms are and then you can bid on them. You may have to re-evaluate this occasionally so that you can update your terms.

2. Do not overuse your keywords or keyword phrases in an attempt to increase web site traffic. Most search engines have a content regulation system. They are continually checking for sites that overuse a keyword or keyword phrase to make it come up higher on a search engine and increase web site traffic. Make sure that you space the keywords evenly throughout the site as well and do not bunch them up.

3. If you plagiarize or duplicate content on your site that you do not own or did not write without giving proper credit and having permission from the “owner” of the content, you face being banned from the search engine, as well as legal ramifications.

4. Do not hide keywords on your page to increase web site traffic. Some people try to increase their keyword count by making the keywords the same color as the background. Individuals visiting the site cannot see it, but content regulators will find it.

5. Update your site regularly to reflect changes in the way that the most productive search engines are listing their sites. They are constantly changing display and listing rules.

6. Free web hosting may seem like a good way to increase web site traffic without paying for it, but in this case, you really get what you pay for. You may experience a small amount of success this way, but by paying a small fee, you can get an even greater return on the investment of your advertising dollars.

Internet marketing tools are used to build a web presence, to make your product or service know to the world. There are many types of internet marketing tools which can be used, and each are meant to be used by someone who is in need of additional marketing, additional traffic, and to increase sales in the long run.

Who is going to use items such as these? Webmasters, those who have just one site, or if you have fifty sites, these items and tools will become very helpful in your overall processing of finding customers, getting those customers on your mailing list, in front of your products and services, and eventually purchasing the products and services that you offer. Without using some type of Internet marketing tool, you will find your web site published, but that traffic will only trickle through. Using additional marketing tactics for your web site, you will increase traffic and sales.

Marketing is an ongoing task that must be performed to increase traffic, to get people through your web site and in the long run increase sales. Various types of marketing exist in the world of the online surfer, and they might not even realize that the things that they are reading or seeing, or perhaps don’t even see, are marketing tools.

A first line of marketing is ‘knowing who’ you are marketing to. A marketing tool that is going to track who is coming and going from your site will help you learn more about who is reading, using, and purchasing from your web site. Methods of marketing using trackers include such things as a guest book, cookies, and back end programming that will use information about what site a person was on before coming to your site, and then what site they went to after leaving your site. This can be very helpful in realizing how much traffic is actually turning sales on your site.

Promotion of your website begins with writing to those who are reading on your site. Even if you are selling products or services online, that are completely automated, people want to know, learn and see more. Adding as much information to your website as possible is going to add to the overall value of your site, and will be great in the additional promotion of your site through web spiders, search engines and similar types of tools.

Promotion of your web site can be done by adding your valued services or products through an affiliate program, by using an affiliate network, such as in a click bank. Pay per click, and similar types of instances create a promotion of your site, an additional awareness of your site, and it will motivate others to promote what you are selling. Giving a percentage of what is being sold to others is a form of promotion that is constantly happening in the online world.

Use solid Internet marketing tools such as email programs, guest books, blogs, articles, freebies, and viral marketing techniques to get and keep traffic moving through your site. Ad website optimization techniques, promotion and submission to all types of search engines and you can find your marketing techniques will boost your traffic. Review the many types of marketing tools available and set your goals on new traffic!

Quality traffic depends on using the right Internet Marketing Tool

Once upon a time, as an absolute beginner to the web game, I thought that building my own site would be the really hard part. I fondly believed that once my site was finished, and out there, discriminating surfers would come to it in droves.


How wrong I was. For several months after launching it I watched my magnificent site lie there like a dead dog, attracting weekly traffic totals that could — I’m not exaggerating — be counted on one hand.


It wasn’t hard to see what the problem was. My Google ranking was absurdly low. No matter what search terms I pumped into it, Google simply refused to display my site on the first page of results. And let’s face it, how many surfers bother looking beyond the top ten? It was time to face some hard facts. If I couldn’t locate my site through a Google search, how could I expect Joe Surfer to stumble across it?


Resolving to do something about it, I hit the web in search of answers. Vaguely aware that a site’s Google ranking depends on how many other websites link to it, and on how good the rankings of those sites are, I looked into the option of link swapping. But everything I read about it discouraged me. I had no desire to e-mail complete strangers proposing a link swap. Besides, what I really needed was to get my link on a big site — a site that attracted some really major traffic. And why would such a site want to swap with me, with my abysmal ranking? What would be in it for them? Nor did I really want to invest in one of those software programs that do the job for you. Indeed some of the more out-there link-swapping programs seemed to emit — how can I put this? — a distinct odor of Spam.


It’s no wonder that people who know about these things are already saying that link swapping is effectively dead as a means of site promotion.


And then I stumbled across the answer that has turned my site around. The E-zine article. Here’s how it works. You sign up with an E-zine site, like Ezinearticles.com. It takes about two minutes; it’s totally obligation-free; and it costs you nothing. Then you write an article or articles on any subject of your choosing, like the article I’m writing right now. You submit it to them, and provided it meets their terms and conditions they publish it on their site. They don’t pay you, of course — but what they do do is let you put your own web address down at the bottom of your article.


It’s a sweet solution, because it boosts your web traffic on several different fronts. For one, the E-zine sites tend to be big, established, high-traffic sites, so getting your URL on one of them will significantly improve your site’s ranking in any general Google search. Then there’s the more direct route: as long as your article addresses a reasonably oft-Googled topic, lots of people are going to find it and read it, and if it’s any good a fair few of them are going to click on your URL and check out your site. There’s also the strong chance that your article, if it’s any good, will be republished on other E-zine sites, which means that you’ll reap the same benefits all over again.


Even if you can’t write articles, or don’t want to, there are people out there who’ll ghost-write your stuff for you, at a price.


Don’t take my word for it: go to an E-zine site, sniff around, and you might just find it’s the solution to all your web woes.

Understanding your Website’s traffic logs is a crucial component of your online marketing mix. It tells you what your visitors do, of their own volition, so it’s “market research that cannot lie!”

If you understand what you’re seeing, you can make some great strategic and marketing decisions, not only for your Website, but for your business as a whole.

Here are seven key marketing elements to study in your traffic analysis:

1. General Statistics

Remember that a “hit” is recorded every time the visitor gets an image or some text from your site — what you need to know is unique user sessions, and how much time people spend on the site — how “sticky” and engaging it is. If you have tons of traffic, but the average time spent on your site is less than a minute — you’ve got a problem!

2. Most and Least Requested Pages

So what’s really hot, and what’s not on your site? The most popular pages give you great clues as to what to offer more of. The least viewed pages may tell you that some of your content isn’t as fascinating as you think, or this maybe a heads-up that your navigation isn’t driving traffic as effectively as it should.

3. Top Entry and Exit Pages

These are great reminders that not all your visitors come through your home page, so you need complete navigation on every entry point to your site. And if people are leaving from pages that you don’t want them to, perhaps you need stronger calls to action in those areas.

4. Single Access Pages

These are the pages where a visitor looks at the site then leaves immediately. Since the job of your home page is partly to filter the traffic that’s not right for you, there’ll always be some of these. But if you have a splash page, and significant numbers of visitors don’t stay through it… perhaps it shouldn’t be there?

5. Cities, States and Countries

No, your site isn’t a huge hit just in Virginia — those are all the AOL users! Unfortunately, because this information depends on where the ISP is based, it can be pretty misleading. But if you are getting a lot of hits from other countries, that might be a hint for some second language content.

6. Referring URL’s

This tells you which search engines are sending you traffic, and which of your advertising and linking strategies are working. It also tells you about sites that may have links to you that you didn’t know about — check these out — it’s a great relationship builder to send a thank you — you might even get some new business from it!

7. Top Search Keywords and Phrases

Once the search engines have listed your site, these tell you what the really hot search terms are for your business. Pay attention to these — they may have some surprises — one of my clients recently wrote a book on a subject that was really sought after on her site — until she saw the top keywords, she had no idea it was so popular!

If you are paying for online advertising in any form, you need to know that you’re getting results. So before you place your next ezine ad, let’s talk about tracking. There are many different situations where you may want to track clicks such as signature lines, banners, articles, ad swaps and text ads.

By coding your url’s with some kind of software or an online third party service, you’ll know at a glance just how many hits you’ve received from your latest venture. It’s really not as hard as it sounds and there are many free services you can use that won’t cost you a dime. Let’s take a closer look at a few of them.

1) HyperTracker: http://www.Hypertracker.com

Offering two versions, a free and a paid service coined “Professional,” it’s simple to sign up and start using. The Pro version runs $10.95 a month and allows you to not only track clicks, but actual sales – plus you can use your own domain in the coded links. The free option is simply a stripped down version – minus the advanced features and counting only clicks. Complete reports can be mailed to you weekly or daily; your call.

2) StatCruncher: http://www.Statcruncher.om

Offering a 30 day free trial with no software to install, as this is a third party solution. If after 30 days you like it and decide to continue on, it will cost you only $49.00 a year with no additional monthly fees.

3) LinkCounter: http://www.Linkcounter.com

Another third party service totally free that will mail you a daily report of all activity on your links. You simply assign a different coded link for each url you’ll be using. If you have more than one domain you’ll need to set up a separate account for each one

4) Adtrackz http://www.Adtrackz.com

This is an actual CGI script you purchase for $47.00 and install on your own server. It only runs on Unix servers (so it’s not an option if you’re using Windows NT). It gives you one click stat reporting all in one place. Each campaign shows you the referring url, what browsers your visitors used, hits per hour, per day and more. Try it 30 days risk free.

5) ProLinkz: http://www.Prolinkz.com

This is another CGI Perl script that you install on your own server. For Unix only; running $45.00 but for an additional fee they’ll install it for you. Allows you to use your own domain in the coded links.

By taking advantage of the above tools you’ll be able to tell at a glance which ads were a good buy and just how much activity your links are getting. These services and scripts allow you to make the most of your advertising dollars so you know what’s working and whats not.

So stop throwing good money after bad by implementing a link tracking system today, you’ll make more informed advertising decisions tomorrow.
