Stop Wasting Money On Google. Use Articles And Blogs To Boost Your Website Ranking.
With the website tracking you have implemented, you have been able to fine-tune your campaign so that you now have a fairly good idea about who you're marketing to, what they're searching for and the highest converting and traffic keywords. You have also been able to slowly reduce your CPC (cost per click) down to a more reasonable level.
But like all good businesses, you are constantly looking for ways to improve on your ROI which in the world of internet marketing means higher click rates. You should also be fully aware that you need to know how to monetize the traffic you are generating from your website. Traffic means nothing if you're not doing anything with it.
There are a multitude of free ways to improve your search engine ranking so that you're on the first page (and hopefully first position) on your relevant keyword search results.
In this article I'm going to go through the main ways in which you can do this. The most common term used for this is Search Engine Optimisation or SEO.
A search engine's primary purpose is to serve the user the closest match and most relevant information for any given keyword search. Search engines reward websites that have good quality, relevant information with high search rankings.
One of the ways that a search engine ranks a website is by the number of unique links the website has from other websites. From the search engine point of view, this is an indication that the website must have something of value to other websites.
There are some important key things you must always understand to have an effective SE marketing strategy.
1. Provide valuable, relevant content. Don't just fill your site with non-relevant garbage. All articles on your website should be relevant and consistent to what your website is about. It is very easy to download hundreds of articles for free and pad out your website with them, but people will soon find out that the information you're providing is non-relevant and won't bother visiting.
People need to be interested in the articles or else they won't link to your website and you won't build your rankings. This takes time...as I seem to keep mentioning in my articles..."Rome wasn't built in day." Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with using free articles, but the least you can do is filter out any non-relevant stuff.
2. Add content to your website regularly. Don't expect to be able to add 1000 articles to your website in one go and expect a 1st position ranking in Google overnight. To get a high ranking using these free techniques takes time. Try to think of your internet business as an organic thing like an oak seed. It might take a while before you see any results, but given a bit of time and attention, it will grow into something massive and long lasting.
Weblogging (or blogging) is probably the easiest way to add content regularly.
Specifically designed websites called weblogs or blogs allow for easy and regular posting of articles. One of the most popular platforms used today can be found at www.wordpress.com. In fact, this blog is being hosted by them.
When writing your articles, make sure the content is relevant to your website and make sure it will interest whoever is reading it. Make sure that the article has links back to your other websites, be they your personal website or your lead capture pages, so that you are encouraging people to click them and so build up your authority status and keep the search engines happy.
Remember, search engines sole purpose is to provide people with the best quality and most relevant information possible. If you are doing that, they will reward you with a higher search engine ranking.
3. Get your articles published by as many other websites as possible. It is important to throw your net wide and get a large variety of different websites linking back to your websites. Use syndication sites, reprint rights, press releases and article distribution sites to get your articles published by other websites, so that you can steadily build up your search ranking.
How do you do this? In actual fact, this blog is a form of syndication. A popular method is to use RSS, which allows subscribers to be instantly notified of any new updates. You can also publish articles using article submission sites like www.ezinearticles.com or submityourarticle.com.
So how often should I publish an article or blog?
Well it's really up to you, what your website is and what sort of ranking you want. Approximately 1-8 articles a month is optimal, but never more than this. Publishers soon get tired of numerous articles from the same author. The key is consistency. Submit an article a few times a month, every month, and you should see results in just a few months.
Because blogs and articles are a simple and effective way to get content out onto the internet, they can be misused and abused by people flooding blog sites with complete rubbish using automated scripts in an attempt to boost their search engine rankings. People want content that is interesting and relevant and will soon get bored and annoyed with sites that have obviously gone for the quick and dirty approach to providing relevant content.

Making Money Online - 7 Reasons Why People Fail
1. They expect instant results.
With all the hype on the internet people still believe they can make money literally overnight and when they don't they are disappointed and believe they were scammed.
The truth is no system will make you rich overnight no matter how good it claims to be, so don't fall for it. It takes time and effort to be successful in this industry.
Treat your internet venture just like you would any other business.
2. They are unfocused.
When you first start out it is easy to want to do everything at once but this is unrealistic and also unproductive. It is impossible to focus on ten projects at once when you are starting out and expect to succeed. Start out with one campaign and wait until it is established before moving on to another. It is extremely easy to get side tracked on the internet, start by turning off your email program.
If something grabs your attention bookmark it so you can come back to it at a later date.
3. They have unrealistic goals.
Don't believe what you see on the internet about making $10,000 a month, especially when you are starting out it isn't going to happen. Some internet marketers claim to earn this amount and some do. When you are starting out you can't expect to earn what some marketers have been doing for years. Give yourself time to learn the ropes before you expect to earn high profits.
4. They are not committed.
People are lured by the flashy cars and wads of cash but quickly lose interest when they discover 'work' is involved. You hear about the auto pilot programs that make money for you while you sleep. With any business you need to put in effort and online businesses are no different. You need to set aside a certain amount of time each day. If you start a blog you need to be consistent and add content regularly. Ideally this will be everyday but make sure it is at least twice weekly.
5. They are not willing to invest in their business
Many people are not willing to invest in their internet business and it cost them dearly. You need to remind yourself this is a business not a hobby and if you continue to use free advertising services/auto responders etc your business will fail to thrive. If you want to succeed you must be willing to invest some money (and time). You don't need to blow your budget but you will need to invest in reliable services.
6. They do not get traffic to their site.
The phrase "build it and they will come" is not true in this market, you need to get targeted traffic to your site or you will never make money. If potential customers cannot find your website how can they buy your product?
7. They do not collect visitor's details.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make as an internet marketer is not collecting email addresses.
Most people will not buy a product the first time they see it, they probably will need to see it two or three times before they purchase. Collecting email addresses with an opt in form allows you to remind the visitor prompting them to purchase, it also gives the opportunity to up sell.
In summary most internet marketers fail because they fail to plan.
Internet marketing is not a get rich quick opportunity but a process that takes time and some effort.
If you are willing to follow the step and do your research you may emerge as one of the 3% rather than the 97% failures.

Work From Home and Earn Residual Free Monthly Income
Today's economy has lead to more people looking to work from home and generate an income online. Mostly from a lack of choice. With the U.S. at an 8.1% unemployment rate traditional jobs are not plenty, thus people are turning to looking to earn money online working from home.
Problem is that 99% of the work at home business opportunities demand your money to get started on the HOPE of making money. Then once you join you often get slammed with incidental fees of website set up, admin monthly fees, marketing cost, etc. Now you are out more money and still haven't made a dime. So prayer kicks in: "God, Please, Please let me at least make my money back." Well some do make their money back, but more take a lost. In honesty this probably has little to do with the opportunity and more to do with people not understanding what it takes to manifest success with an online business.
Either way this HOPE of making money in a work from home business by first unloading your hard earn money is causing more stress on people struggling to make a living giving the state of the economy and having to turn to home-based business. So you find people searching for free work from home ideas or business opportunities.
Challenge with most free businesses is they are not really free. Meaning they give you a free 'x' days trial, but you still better have your credit/debit card ready to pay to join. Others, like pay-to-click web surfing only dish you out pennies for your efforts. Your income can only become substantial if you are able to build like a 10-20 thousand person down-line. We'll maybe not that many, but it feels like that when the earnings are penny driven. But people are doing what they need to do to try and make free money online.
People need to generate monthly residual income from their work from home online business just as if they had a normal job. A business that can generates you monthly residual income is very important. There are many one-time pay opportunities popping up these days that many people jump on board to try and make money online. Thinking it's a one-time cost and it's not that expensive. Challenge is all those online business opportunities are networking businesses driven by creating a down-line. Establishing a networking down-line home-based business can be very profitable. Just look at Amway. They stayed the course and now they have their name on the NBA Orlando Magic basketball arena. However, they didn't achieve that with a one-time payment networking business. Why because one-time payments are nice, but it's not going to create for you a steady and growing monthly residual income. Amway, and others, understands this fact, that success in having your own home-based business MUST involve residual income generation because individuals can only introduce a finite number of people to an opportunity.
When you understand that you and all those that you introduce to a networking business can and will only introduce a finite number of persons to the opportunity then you will understand that creating a successful online work from home business, particularly one that deals with network marketing, must involve a pay plan that generates monthly residual income for you and your associates. Anything else is nothing short of a traditional direct sales job. Meaning, you don't have walk away monthly income. That's cash flow coming to you monthly if and when "life comes at you fast" and you have to pull away from your business for a moment.
Given the state of the job market and economy globally, work from home business opportunities are the way for one to create their own wealth generation. However, as talked about above people need opportunity that doesn't drain their bank account why they work to get their home based business growing and cash flowing. On top of that those work at home moms and work at home dads need to create monthly residual income. The best scenario is a work from home business that is free and starts to immediately generate you substantive free monthly residual income. I know the ideal of such existing sounds ludicrous, but this is where one must understand the power of the internet.
The internet has created cash flow opportunities that people would never have imagined could exist. However because of the internet you can have your cake and eat it too. The need for massive international distribution of information, services and products by companies via the internet allows one to not only be able to work from home for free, but they can create substantial residual free monthly income. I'm talking about leave your credit/debit card in your wallet, yet still get involved in a work from home business opportunity and start creating wealth.
The internet has allowed the birth of a viable work from home free business opportunity that creates free steady and growing monthly residual income that can and is changing people's financial future for the better. Some things in life are free...thanks to the internet.
Work from home and generate free MONTHY residual income. Now that's exciting!
You need money? You Want It? Then come get It...Your Free Monthly Income is Waiting!

4 Ways To Attract Free Traffic — With A Blog!
Blogging — both writing blogs AND reading blogs — has gone from being a "fringe" activity to one of the most popular pastimes on the ‘Net. In fact, blogging is now a global phenomenon. There are currently 112.8 million blogs in existence, with 175,000 new ones launching every day.
… But did you know that blogs are also a great way to drive traffic to your site?
Blogs, by design, are built to quickly and easily attract free traffic, whether it be from search engines or from a rapid influx of links. The moment you publish a post, your blog goes to work for you letting the world know that you’ve made an update - the search engines come running and you find yourself ranking #1 for keywords in no time.
Here are 4 ways to attract FREE traffic to your site using blogs (and 4 reasons why you NEED to start blogging):
1. Long-Tail Keywords
Instead of using only the most obvious or generic terms related to the topic of your post, focus on more specific words and phrases, i.e., long-tail keywords.
For instance, if you are writing a post about nordic skiing at Sun Peaks Resort near Kamloops, British Columbia, you don’t want to target keywords such as ‘travel’ and ’skiing’ which will put you in direct competition with Expedia.com, SkiNet.com and the like.
Instead, target "cross country skiing at Sun Peaks Resort" and not only will your post show up in a blog search, but it’ll soon rank in the top ten in Google’s organic listings as well.
Blogs are notorious for ranking high and fast for long-tail keywords. Over time with hundreds of these, the traffic is more targeted and far more valuable than having one "highly competitive" keyword.
2. Bookmark with OnlyWire
Onlywire is a service that allows you to automatically bookmark your post on well over 17 high-traffic sites.
It takes just a few clicks to do this every time you post. You simply click a button on your browser, type in a few keywords and hit "submit." Yes, the service is absolutely free.
Onlywire is a great way to not only attract visitors but to also get the search engines running in to index your new post.
3. Leave Blog Comments
One of the best ways to get traffic and highly valuable links in the beginning is to leave comments on other high-traffic blogs in your niche.
Finding these blogs is easy — either just search Google or visit Technorati and find the most popular in your topic.
A couple of key techniques to use:
A) Don’t use your name, use something catchy (or a keyword). When the post LINKS to your site, they link the "name field" — so as long as you use something enticing, you’ll get people to click.
Or you can use a keyword and that way you get more search engine recognition for the term you are optimizing for.
B) Don’t abuse this — You can easily find yourself blocked from leaving future comments. Leave a comment that is useful and shows that you read what you’re commenting on. Not only will this make the blogger happy but it’ll get you more traffic and credibility.
4. Involve the Press
Too many people have forgotten how great press releases can be for traffic — mostly because they don’t know the "right" way of using press releases.
The trick is to base your press releases on information that actually MATTERS to people.
The easiest way to generate the valuable content for press releases is to quickly poll your readers (or get another blogger to help generate the results). So long as you can get at least 50 people to respond, you can issue a press release with your new-found data.
The press loves data, readers love data — posts and press releases like this make their way around the Internet very fast.
The above 4 tactics represent less than 20% of the ways that a blog can generate free and targeted traffic to your website.
If you don’t already maintain a blog, you should seriously think about starting one up right away. It’s the easiest way to establish a solid online presence.
… And if you’re not sure how to go about setting up your own blog, don’t worry — we can help!
