Link Exchange

All right....Link Exchange. You put a link on your site pointing to my site, and in
exchange, I’ll put a link on my site pointing to your site. Everyone know’s that it’s
important...scratch that, INSANELY important to have a solid link exchange regime
in your marketing bag. Why is that? Because these days search engines are ALL
ABOUT THE LINKING.
Most search engines, especially Google (the most important search engine), rank
sites based on how many other web sites link to you. They figure that if other people
link to you, your site must be good. It’s a democracy type of thing. Think of each link
as a “vote”. The more links...the more votes...which translates into a better search
engine ranking.

Traffic Generation – Google Adwords

Some AdSense publishers use Google AdWords to drive traffic to their sites. Now, in case you didn’t know, Google AdWords is the program that supplies the ads that you are showing on your site with Google AdSense. Does it make sense to use AdWords to promote an AdSense site? In some cases, it does – it’s called “Adsense Arbitrage”
It is tricky, however. Remember that you are targeting high paying keywords. This means that if you target those same keywords with your own AdWords campaign, you would not only be paying a large amount of money, you would also run the risk of not having the money that you earn from AdSense cover the cost of your AdWords ads.
Here is the secret. First, set a budget for your AdWords campaign that you can afford to pay, regardless of your AdSense income. Next, don’t choose the same keywords for your AdWords ads as you do for your AdSense site. Now you are probably wondering how that would work out.
Let’s say that your website is focused on the topic of weight loss for diabetic women. You could target a lower paying keyword for your AdWords campaign,such as diabetes or diabetic supplies. Again, it is tricky, and it does take some thought.
It is vital that you keep a close eye on your ad campaigns and your clicks. You can easily see how much you’ve spent, and how much you’ve earned in relation to what you have spent. If you are spending more than you are earning, you need to rethink using Google AdWords, or tweak and tune until you are earning more than you spend.

“You need Social Bookmarking!”

Social bookmarking is a key element of Web 2.0, and it is a great way to get a great deal of traffic, in a very short amount of time. It is very easy and fast to do, and it’s also free.
Social bookmarking sites are essentially places where people who are registered can list – or bookmark – their favorite sites. Those bookmarks are shared with all other users of the social bookmarking site as well. Millions of people use these sites on a daily basis.
Here is what you do. You can register for www.onlywire.com in my blog. Again, it’s free. Once you’ve registered and logged in, you will be presented with what looks like a form. This is actually a list of social bookmarking sites, and you need to open up each of those sites (in a new page or tab) and register with them.
Go back to the page at onlywire.com and put in the username and password you used for each of those sites, and click the save button. Now, follow the directions on the site, and move the onlywire.com icon up into your toolbar. You are ready to start social bookmarking!
Go to each page on your website. Click the icon in your toolbar, and you will be brought to a page at onlywire.com. Fill in the information, tagging that page with the keywords that are relevant to it. Hit the submit button. Onlywire.com instantly sends that bookmark, along with its tags (i.e. keywords), to all of those social bookmarking sites.

Traffic Generation - Forum marketing

Forum Marketing has been around as long as forums have existed. Forums are known by a variety of names: bulletin boards and message boards are common names.
A forum is essentially where people with an interest in a specific topic post messages, where other people who are members of that forum can reply to them. It’s a great way to share and learn information about a topic of interest.
Forum marketing is a great way to drive traffic to your site. Now, before you run to the nearest forum that relates to your topic and post a message about your wonderful website, you need to know that the quality forums (the forums that you want to participate in) are not going to allow you to do that.
So, how can you advertise your AdSense site in the forums, without advertising?
- You use a signature file. This is allowed in most forums. A signature file is essentially text that has your name, your website address, and maybe a small slogan.

Traffic Generation – Video Marketing

Video is becoming increasingly more important to cyber citizens, and essentially to online business owners, and even to AdSense site owners. You can drive traffic to your sites with the use of video and free video websites. Everybody loves video. Even Google now offers video ads for AdSense.
Sites like Google Video, You Tube, and Yahoo Video get tons of traffic every single day, and you can easily take advantage of that. You have two options for creating video. You can use a digital video camera, or you can use screen capture video software.
With a digital video camera, you can make a video of basically anything, and then upload that video to your computer, and then to the video websites. With screen capture video software, you don’t need a camera. You can just make a video of what is appearing on your computer screen.
For instance, if you have a website that reviews software, for which you earn AdSense revenue and affiliate revenue from software sales, you could purchase the software, and make a video that shows people how to use it. Videos such as these are in high demand. Just make sure that the video that you produce is relevant to the topic of your website.

Using Backlinks To Gain Ranking For Targeted Keywords

To rank for specific keywords, the keyword can be used as the anchor text for the link. Anchor text is the link text that visitors click. For example in marketing resources the anchor text is „marketing resources‟. The more frequently a keyword is used in anchor text the higher a site will rank for that keyword (as long as the keyword matches site content in at least a general way). When using this technique it is preferable that the keyword used be targeted at the destination URL. But that isn‟t entirely necessary as long as the niche is appropriate. For example a marketing site can use anchor text like: affiliate marketing, online marketing, marketing tips or online marketing tips. Have you ever heard of „Google Bombing‟? The classic example of this is credited the a guy called Adam Mathes who placed links on all his sites pointing to a friends site with anchor text (keyword) of talentless hack. This resulted in his friends site being in the number one spot in google for the keyword… even though the site itself did not contain the phrase. The most well known example of this occurred in 2003 when hundreds of people added a link to their sites pointing to President George Bush‟s website using anchor text of miserable failure… same thing, number one spot in google for the keyword until google stepped in an killed it.

Emphasised Text: Bold, Italic And Underlined

Emphasised text is a way of saying, „Hey, look at me, I‟m important!‟. As humans, when we read text that is bold, italic or underlined we know it is important. The same is true for search engines. Search engine „spiders‟ (programs responsible for indexing websites) detect these forms of emphasised text and make note of them. For this reason, it is important that targeted keywords appear in these formats on the page. It is not necessary that every instance of a keyword or keyphrase be emphasised. In fact keywords should also appear in standard text. It is only necessary to emphasise each keyword/keyphrase using these methods 2-3 times in the whole page.At this point you may be thinking, „good grief, how do I find that many instances of my keywords to do this?‟ Don‟t stress. You can actually get away with applying all three to one instance of text. That way, all you need is the keywords 2-3 times and it‟s done. Be careful though. Resist the temptation to use these formats on non-keyword text. For example: If you are offering a couple of bonuses with a purchase do not say „you will receive x and y‟. This is an unnecessary emphasis and should be avoided, as it will detract from the keywords that you want the search engines to notice. If you want to emphasize other text you can simply type it in CAPS. That way it stands out without being emphasized. Alternatively, you can use an html font command such as font size=

Are Meta Tags Important?

The jury is still out on this question. However, my experience of meta tags has been that including them results in increased search engine traffic. Whether this is due to the meta tags themselves or simply because they have aided the search engines in indexing the site is debatable. But the fact remains. Consider this: do you really want to run the risk of ignoring meta tags if there is even a miniscule chance that including them will give you the edge over your competition because they didn‟t bother to include them?

Is It True That Search Engines No Longer Use Meta Tags?

Several years ago meta tags were a primary source of information for search engines used to categorize websites. However, many unscrupulous webmasters chose to abuse the use of meta tags by including popular tags that generated lots of traffic but did NOT relate to the website content. Search engines responded to this abuse by not placing as much emphasis on meta tag content. Search engines still examine meta tags, but they also compare them to page content to make sure that they accurately portray the website. As such, meta tags are an indexation aid for search engines rather than a statement of „This is what this page is about.‟

How To Create Well Optimised Page Titles

The html required for creating a title is Your title here As you can see, it is contained in the „head‟ section of a website. If your site already has a head section then you need only add the title opening and closing tags with your title between them. It should be noted that blog sites have a different format and that the page title is contained in the blog settings. So all you need to do with your title is to make sure it contains your main keywords. Once again, try to incorporate composite keywords (i.e. keyphrases containing more than one keyword combination.) Your title can be as long as you like, but only the first 55 characters are really examined by search engines. So make sure that your most powerful keywords are contained within the first 55 characters. The other thing to keep in mind with the title is that it should say something rather than just being a bunch of keywords. You can add a whole bunch of keywords to the keywords meta tag (dealt with in the next chapter) so you don‟t need to cram them into your title. Instead of a title of „online marketing techniques, marketing online, affiliate marketing‟ have something like „Online marketing techniques – Tips on creating a successful affiliate marketing business!‟ The second example is much nicer to look at and incorporates all three of the keywords in the previous example (though not necessarily in the same word order). Keep in mind that your title could appear as the description or link in search results. So something readable is much more likely to be clicked. Just consider… which text would you be more likely to click?

How To Target Keywords In Domains, Sub-domains And Subpages

When creating a new site there are frequently more good keywords than can be realistically targeted on a single page. The best way to overcome this is to target these keywords via sub-domains and sub-pages. In general, the page that loads when a visitor arrives at a site is named index.html or index.htm. This can be changed by a redirect or by editing your .htaccess file to point to a different directory or page within your site. Utilizing other keywords is simple. Instead of having index.htm the keyword can be used in the same format as it was in the domain name. Separate the words with hyphens. For example, if your domain is www.thewebcash.com and you want to target the keyword „worthwhile Website development you would name the file for that page website development.html (or htm). The path to this page would then become www.thewebcash.com/websitedevelopment. Note that not having anything typed after the root domain automatically causes the index file to load. This narrows down the keywords even further and the more specific they are, the more likely you are to get quality, converting hits on your page.

Why Are Backlinks Important In Traffic ?

Backlinks are important for several reasons including:
Every external link increases the chances of receiving visitors by providing extra entry points to your site.
Links on related websites contribute to Google pagerank unless they are specified as nofollow links. Even if links are nofollow you still have a backlink. Related websites are those dedicated to the same niche or category.
Higher Google pagerank inspires more visitor trust.
Increased pagerank (reputation) also places sites higher in search results.
How To Achieve Quality Backlinks
Quality backlinks can be achieved through:
Related websites dedicated to the same niche.
Sites that have a high Google pagerank.

Guide To Promoting Affiliate Programs And Making Money Online

Affiliate marketing is one of the very best ways that you can earn money online. You do not have to invest a lot of money to get started and you do not need to worry about credit card processing and refunds.

In this article I would like to go over the bare bone fundamentals that will help you to succeed with this method of marketing.

1) Choose a profitable market

This is probably one of the most important steps that you need to take. You need to have a profitable market where there is constant demand. If you get this wrong it will be like building a home on shaky ground. For example I know of one affiliate marketer who runs the website Car Buying Tips. He basically reviews all the methods that you can use online to buy a car cheaper. From this he makes thousands of dollars a month.

An Article Marketing Guide to Help You Successfully Market Your Web Site

Anyone can easily make a lot of money with internet marketing, but you have to know how to do it. There are many people who start reading everything they can about internet marketing, and read so much that they don't actually take action and follow through. Others may try to implement what they have read, but try to do it all at once and then do nothing for months, and wonder why they haven't made much money.

Whatever you have read in a guide to internet marketing, you have to have specific skills and talents to be successful just as in any career. Your most important skill is that of internet research. You'll need to be able to conduct good internet research for things such as keywords, niche markets, and marketing methods.

Another skill you will need is writing abilities. You will need to be able to write good quality content for your marketing, classified ads, articles, and other items you need to successfully market your website. Without these skills you will need to find a guide to internet marketing that explains the ins and outs of outsourcing, and you will have a harder time getting to your goals of financial freedom.

Web Traffic Article

I find the best way to use it is to type in my subject in quotes. That way Google only alerts me when any news comes up just for that particular phrase. Otherwise, I would get alerts for any news that comes up with any of the words in my phrase.

Anyway, the reason I'm even mentioning Google Alerts is because I have been receiving TONS of new information lately, it seems every hour I get more Alerts and this tells me two things.

1) There are many new websites coming onto the Internet (that's nothing new)

2) Many more websites are continuously adding information!

AND that tells me that everything that I'm reading about Search Engine Optimization is true!

What I'm reading is that CONTENT truly is KING. All content, new content, continuously fresh content, data, data, data!!!!

Basically, the more information (relevant information of course) you have on your website, the higher your rankings will be, the more audience you'll be attracting, the more sales you'll receive, the more exposure you'll get and the more links you'll have.

Think about it, part of getting UP on the search engines is getting other websites to link TO you. That's easy enough to do with search engines and directories. But it's a bit harder to get other regular websites to link to you. So, many people participate in a link exchange type of program. That's good, but what's even better is having other websites link to you because you have something GOOD to say! These are ONE WAY links, in other words you don't have to reciprocate the link! These ONE WAY links score more points (to search engines).

I know I've been harping on this for a long time and I've opened many blogs for my clients and I give all my monthly marketing clients a new keyword phrase every month to help inspire them to write an article (about that keyword phrase) in their blogs and maybe even their websites.

But, I have to admit, it's a losing battle. I wish I could sit and write articles for every one of my clients every week! I KNOW that would bring in more customers, more revenue, more, more, more!! I KNOW because I've done it on my own website and it absolutely, 100% works, without a doubt.

I recently have had a few customers call and ask me "What else can I do?" -- "I'll spend more money but what can I do?" -- my reply to them is WRITE!!!! If you can't write an article, hire someone to write an article (my friend and article contributor Joel Kweskin can help you). But however you do it, just do it!!

1. AdSense Can Make You A Huge Heap Of Cash. Lots of people make the mistake of believing that AdSense is only good for bringing a site a few extra pennies a month. Wrong! AdSense can fund your lifestyle - if you get it right.

2. Junk Sites Get Junk Income. But just because it's possible for a site to make a lot of money with AdSense, it doesn't mean that any site can make a lot of money with AdSense. Your site must have good content that can attract users on its own merit. There are a lot of different strategies available for producing good content for your site.

3. Your Choice Of Ads Matter. One of the first things that you'll have to do when you join AdSense is to pick the types of ads you want to display. Success relies on following certain principles that encourage users to click and persuades them that they've got a reason to do so. You'll need to know those principles.

4. You Can Influence The Ads You Receive! Here's a little known AdSense secret: you do have some control over the ads that get served on your site. That control isn't unlimited - but it is worth exercising. It's also a little complicated but it's got a lot do with keyword hotspots located in each Web page. (I explain it all in my book, Google AdSense Secrets.) That's definitely something you need to know!

5. Your Stats Are Your Best Friend. The stats you get with your AdSense account might look complicated and well, a bit dull... but they're packed with useful information that can have a massive effect on your revenues. To make real money with AdSense, you need to know what your stats are telling, what they're not telling you and where you can find out more.

There's a lot you need to know to make serious money with AdSense. If you're missing that information, you're just throwing money away.

Can You Choose Your AdSense Ads?


Google AdSense delivers great click-throughs and high revenues for one reason: the ads are targeted to what the user wants. Google's robot picks out keywords on your page, gets a grip on what your website is about and delivers links that take users to sites that interest them.

That's great news... up to a point. As much as you want your users to click on ads that look interesting, you might not want to trust to a robot to pick those ads - and you might prefer to have ads on your page that pay the highest amount possible for each click.

But you don't get the choice. You can do lots of things to improve your AdSense revenue, from selecting the layout of your ad unit to choosing the color and size of the font, but one thing you can't do is slip into Google's database and choose the ads. If you could do that, no one would ever choose the low-paying ads.

That doesn't mean you can't do anything at all though. The fact is, some smart publishers have been noticing all sorts of interesting results after playing with their HTML code and changing some of the text on their Web page. And some of those results have been very surprising indeed.

For example, some publishers have found that placing keywords in certain positions on the page can have an immediate effect on the ads served. The owner of a site about recreation vehicles then would be able to do a little research online to find the highest paying keywords in his area and then - if he knew where those hotspots were - he could place those keywords in the right areas on the page. In addition to the usual ads about camper vans and RV's that his site would receive, the publisher could be certain that at least one of the ads was the highest paying possible. That's the sort of knowledge that's worth money in your pocket.

Why some areas of a Web page should be more important than others is a mystery well kept by Google's programmers. But some of Google's ad secrets are leaking out - and they're being snapped up by smart publishers who understand that knowledge and strategy are the key to massive AdSense revenues.

5 Adsense Tips For Maximum Click-Through Rates

1. You should make your Adsense ads look as a part of your web page. They shouldn't look like an Ad. People are negative to advertising. They search the internet for content not ads. Especially for Banners - they have a less of 0.5% response. Their days are over. Imagine if you have an Adsense ad looking like the typical Banner with different colors. It will not be profitable.

2. Text ads are better than image ads. Like before, people are more responsive to text than images. In a way it is considered as a part of the online document and is more clickable.

3. No Border ads. One of the best tricks is to erase the borders of Adsense ads and make them, again, having the same color with your website's background.

4. No other advertisements. The first reason is to be legitimate according to Google's Rules and the second more practical reason is that you do not want to distract your visitor's attention and go somewhere else without clicking your Adsense ads.

5. Placement. Even if you have the best Ad, people will not respond if they don't see it instantly. The best place to see the ad is the top of your web page and the next is aside your document's text. Visitors will click it more frequently since it will look like your text.
