Article Writing: Writing Creatively

Aug 24, 2008 Author: Theo McLanahan | Filed under: Search Engine Optimization
by Theo McLanahan

The most common problem faced by the people while writing an article is the lack of ideas. Most of the people just run out of the ideas while they begin to write. Is coming up with unmarked ideas such a difficult task?

The answer is actually no. If you take a look at your past experiences, skill sets, successes and failures, expertise in an area, you will find an ocean of fresh ideas waving around you. The point here is that your every experience is bound to serve you with many new ideas and words.

In order to generate ideas from you own life, follow these useful tips:

Select a Subject: Analyze and choose a general subject from your daily routine. This subject may vary from cooking a meal to driving a car. This will help you to improve your writing ideas, as the topic of the article will come directly from your everyday life.

List out the Items: Include a list of various useful items that are the part of your subject. For instance, if you are planning to write on your first driving experience, you may include the various aspects like your excitement, nervousness, the vehicle, road, traffic, signals, road signs and so on.

Focus on the Crucial Aspect: Bring your focus on the most crucial item of the above made list. Try to write a detailed description for that particular item. Keep in mind to make the description small but informative at the same time. This may include the bodily aspects, emotional expressions that strike your mind. Lets take an example. If you want to concentrate on the road signs, you may include the significance of each sign and the place where it is found.

Make and Arrange Categories: You can make categories for your different descriptive reports. For instance, you can put together the description of the vehicle in one section and the description of the traffic in other part.

Then, depending on the length of your article, arrange the categories according to their importance.

However, if the article is supposed to be long, then you should make the different categories appear in a systematic way in your article. For making the article long, you can decide on writing about the precautions you need to take on the road while driving the car. You may write about the traffic rules to be followed on the road and also about the safety measures to avoid any kind of accident.

The art of stuffing your article with fresh new ideas could be tamed with practice and it could not be achieved overnight. Once you start doing practice by following the above guidelines, you will see that the fresh words are taking birth in your mind and this will affect your writing speed in a positive manner. Finally, the day would come when you wont have to look for ideas here and there.

Hi everyone,

I’m revealing my never-told secret tactic for you to unleash the full potential of Jonathan Leger’s 3WayLinks SEO system.

It’s the exactly what I learn from super affiliates who use this secret tactic to rake in tens of thousand affiliate cash by promoting affiliate products.

Did you know that choosing your keywords is the MOST important part of the whole process? 99% of the people who fail with 3WayLinks .net are making this step wrong.

Many people just chase to rank those popular keywords and build sites with them. But soon they found these keywords are hard to get ranked. Even if they’re getting traffic, they get no sales in this kind of search traffic. Big fail. So they complain this system is not working.

And what I advise is to aim to rank the keywords that MAKE MONEY.

When you building a site to promote affiliate products, the 5 keywords strings you MUST target are: the product name, product name review, buy product name, purchase product name, and product name bonus.

But why?

Because people searching on these words are interested in the product. They want to read positive reviews to convince them to buy and they are already ready to buy!

The keywords I mention are money keywords which guarantee to make you sales and also easy to rank in the search engines.

You may not expect to get huge traffic but the conversions will be just fantastic.

Even though you get less traffic, you end up making more money.

You can easily leave your competitors in the dust with 3WayLinks because you get much less competition with these keywords. 250 links from 3WL are absolutely enough.

And good news is now Google’s External Keyword Tool reports the exact search volume (maybe the death of all major keyword tools?)

That means now it’s easy to decide which keywords are worth to rank, since 3WL just allows you to choose 3 keywords of your choice to rank in.

You just need to choose the product related keywords I mentioned which have healthy search volumes.

Jon also includes a free report on keyword selection in the 3WL member area, which will help you how to find low to mid-competition keywords to aim for. Read it carefully.

Conclusion: 3WayLinks is an awesome tool for getting hands-off Google rankings for mini sites, affiliate review sites and small content sites. You should use it to get traffic for your mini-sites while eventually serving link juice and traffic for your authority sites.

Your affiliate marketing success will largely depend on your statistical research, which may come as a surprise. The review of your research will give you an indication of the chances of the program meeting your financial goals. Even more so, the affiliate marketing statistics can even project “HOW” much your bank account can grow.

How to win the affiliate marketing commissions game? The crunching of the numbers will provide information on how to “tweak” your program to keep your website productive and your work effective. Your research will also provide the insight into the necessary balance of those positive or negative factors that can influence your success

Affiliate marketing commissions can be increased

Commissions are paid to the salesmen based on the generation of sales. Affiliate marketers are also commission based salesmen, as there pay is directly connected to the amount of referrals that they generate by his leads that become sales.

There are several factors that will affect the amount of commissions you’ll earn from an affiliate marketing program. These are:

Choosing an affiliate marketing program

All affiliate marketing programs are not created equal in regards to commissions paid to its sales force. There are hundreds of affiliate marketing programs from which an affiliate can select, which range from the low 10 to 15 percent per sale or referral up to 60 to 75 percent, which is based upon various items or services they market.

In affiliate marketing, all factors being the constant, best pay for sales will generate an increase in sales

Which path to choose? The choice of affiliate marketing programs that pay higher commission is not very difficult when you have a niche or a significant following in your area. When your selected market is elusive… then you must experiment with the use various selections of programs that will produce the type of “quit your job” income.

By maximizing your ability and opportunity and building your reputation in the process, you will be able to earn a decent income and solidify your presence at the same time.

Each affiliate programs varies in the earning opportunities that it allocates which in turn will have a significant impact on the total commissions generated. The two-tier program, is considered to be more profitable that flat program. Two-tier program produce the occasion to receive two different sources of income, one from the service or sale that you generate (commissions) and the other from your new recruit. Your override from the new affiliate will either be a one time pay (flat rate) or perpetual override for as long as recruit remains on the team

Some affiliate marketing programs may also offer recurring commissions, in which an affiliate can earn each time their lead or member renews a subscription or a membership. This type of program means you can hope to earn for as long as your leads or recruits continue to use an affiliate product or service.

Your choice of an affiliate marketing program must take into consideration the potential future income that can be generated from the commissions that you produce. It would not be prudent to make a decision without careful consideration of the different rates of commission.

The Product

The type of product or services that your offer in affiliate marketing will directly effect your commissions. If, unfortunately, your services or product is in a category that is already very popular, then your ability to penetrate that market will not be easy… But on the other side… the popularity of your item can produce a lot of sales when you have a consistent and hungry market .

Find out how you can perform based on the statistics offered by the affiliate marketing program you wish to join. ClickBank, for example, allows you to view a product’s potential based on its past performance.

The market

Affiliate marketing commissions rely heavily on how effective an affiliate’s sales and marketing strategies are. In many ways, they will also depend on the relative popularity of the affiliate and on the type of market he chooses to sell to. A small but highly targeted market is more likely to bring in higher commissions for an affiliate while a fairly large but generic market may not produce the same results.

The conversion period

Once you have selected the best and most profitable affiliate marketing program in terms of commissions, your next concern would be how to shorten the conversion period for your customers.

The time between a obtaining a viable buyer and their performing a given result or action is called the conversion period. A quality lead has the option of various actions like acquiring a service, obtaining a product, online surveys or polls or becoming a recruit. The initiating cause that compels the lead to take a compelled action can expand the conversion period from 24hrs to 30 or 60 days.

Your efforts an an affiliate is to compel your buyer, within a reasonable amount of time, to shorten the conversion period and thus increase your affiliate marketing commissions…

Search Engine Positioning for Start up Business

Aug 21, 2008 Author: Marten Davis | Filed under: Search Engine Optimization
by Marten Davis

Considering the various methods of gaining traffic via the search engines can be a real dilema.

Without a doubt, the best method is to use pay per click to gain immediate position. Problem is, it is expensive and there is high competition.

Once the business is up and going and customers are finally making money for you, advertising dollars become easier to get.

An automated system of gaining enough traffic to get a start is the best way to start. There are many places where automated submission companies can be selected.

It is important to see the length of time that the company has been in the Search Engine Positioning business. Most that have been in the business for some time will note that fact on their website. Look for it.

After making some money in the new business, it is wise to put back as much of this revenue as possible toward increased traffic. After the initial mass submission, it is wise to select a good pay per click specialist to set up your first campaign correctly.

Keep using some early revenue to increase traffic via the pay-per-click by increasing the spend limit for your campaigns. The pay per click advertising method is really effective since you can regulate the amount of traffic like turning on and off a faucet.

The old Traffic Equalizer still fair play?

Aug 21, 2008 Author: James Barnett | Filed under: Search Engine Optimization
by James Barnett

Traffic Equalizer is several years old–which in Internet years is eons. Traffic Equalizer is a well-known good and almost everyone in the search engine marketing field has used it–or at least heard of it. Traffic Equalizer will take care of driving all the targeted traffic you need! Traffic Equalizer is a popular content generator. You for the most part probably have seen pages generated by Traffic Equalizer already nevertheless didn’t know what it was.

Traffic Equalizer is a targeted traffic generator that claims to be guaranteed to work with any merchandise. The newest version of Traffic Equalizer was released in March of 2006 and is assumed to be effortless even for a beginner, effective, reasonable, guaranteed to work 100% regardless of the good and bring gigantic amounts of targeted traffic with miniature job. Traffic Equalizer is a program for formulating what the developer claims are optimized pages for search engine ranking. They say that it’s not just doorway pages which contain no content, however there’s no way to formulate those unless you write useful content yourself that relates to the keyword you’re using and will would rather have people to click on to you’re main site, there’s just no shortcut to crafting those. Traffic Equalizer will build one search engine friendly page for each keyword you enter. As you can think, you will soon have thousands of targeted links to your web site.

Traffic Equalizer and similar programs job by taking a keyword that you input and then building a web site around this keyword. The end result is a directory or portal of related links to other websites/articles that are relevant to the keyword that you chose. Traffic Equalizer provides you with a very basic (and ugly-looking) template. I didn’t suppose it at first, yet my research today seems to confirm that if you use that original template — your pages and possibly your whole webpage will be dropped from Google’s index. Traffic Equalizer will help you with all the searches done on the internet that are done by using keywords. Search engines crawl through the entire set of documents available on net and submits it to the computer.

Traffic Equalizer is probably the largest and a large amount well-known software that allows users to automatically construct pages for this strategy. Using the software, you can literally create hundreds of keyword optimized web pages at the click of a button.

Well, I can confirm that Traffic Equalizer does still occupation. In fact, I on the other hand use it, conversely you have to be savvy in using it, you can’t just throw up those old, boring pages like you used to be able to do, instead you have to rewrite the entire code, minus the links and keyword pages it gives you…

Is Your Search Engine Optimization Company The Right Choice

Aug 14, 2008 Author: Chris Anderson, Ph.D. | Filed under: Search Engine Optimization
by Chris Anderson, Ph.D.

A very common question that we get at our Florida base, search engine optimization company….. how does someone go about picking the right search company or consultant to work with them?

For most people new to Internet and search engine marketing, it is all very confusing because they don’t understand the lingo, they don’t understand what search engine companies do for them (or what they are supposed to do for them), and they see tremendous claims from companies when they perform a Google search.

Let’s suppose for a minute that you have decided to make web based sales a big part of your Florida marketing strategy. Let’s now review a few steps that you should be taking to retain a top notch search engine optimization (SEO) company or SEO consultant.

The First Test Is What Happens At Home

Take a look at their current web site as well as other sites that they own…. are you impressed with the results. One note however is that some companies, like are own, are in the middle of starting a new site for SEO activities…. if this is the case, simply ask for proof of other sites they have optimized for THEMSELVES.

What Is The Game Plan —- No Plan, No Deal

We always suggest interviewing a minimum of the 3 companies or consultants. Really have them explain what their campaign is going to do, what realistic timelines and costs are likely to be, and why the believe it will work for you. Many fly by night type companies will make you believe that SEO and Internet marking is a black art….. that is far from the truth. SEO is a step by step process that takes a lot of time, effort, and faith but it is not black magic. By the time you interview 3 candidates, we believe it will be clear who has a solid game plan and who is smoke and mirrors.

Three Major Items To Investigate

Bottom line, you want to generate additional sales for your company. In our experience, any Internet marketing campaign that is successful requires the components before it really starts making the cash register ring:

- What Search Terms; — The first step in any SEO plan of attack is to get other, related web sites linking to yours. This greatly helps improve your rankings and in one form or the other, is the major activity performed by your search company.

Goals: These Should Be Developed From Day 1

Ideally, you would spend $5 on search engine optimization and be ranked #1 for all your desired keywords…. an ideal dream but not realistic. Your search engine consultant should be able to sit down with you and help you grasp what is, and is not realistic.

The above step-by-step process will go a long way to helping you find the right search company. If you do this process right, it can really mean a tremendous boost to your business.

There are so many free tools and software programs for SEO enthusiasts that it almost becomes overwhelming and difficult to grasp the “right” tools to use in your SEO efforts. Everyone has their own personal preferences which makes this predicament even more perplexing.

Well enough about me and my love of words; let’s get down to business: What are some of the best free SEO tools on the web?

Cool Tools

Google Keyword Research Tool: When this free tool came out the other week we all had a little dance party in the office we were so excited! Well to be honest? there wasn’t any dancing involved but it sure did give us a reason to celebrate :)

This tool is amazing! Simply type in your keyword and you can see a long list of related keywords with approximate search volumes for those keywords as well! You can even customize the results with this tool: everything from the location (country) of your keyword results to finding out which month had the highest search volumes. For more information on how to use this keyword research tool check out this great article.

This free keyword research tool immediately replaced my other keyword research tools by Wordze and SEO Book after just one test use: that’s how powerful it is. In short, the tool rocks and it instantly makes keyword research way easier and much more efficient!

HTML Playground: This tool is great for those that have limited HTML knowledge or just aren’t sure how to apply the right formatting in an easy and efficient manner. Well this free tool takes all the “hard work” out of HTML coding for you. It has a list of all the most popular tags; simply click on the tag, customize the parameters and colours you desire and the HTML code is ready to go! It even shows you a preview of what your text or image will look like once uploaded! This tool is simply vital for any HTML rookie or beginner.

Firefox Extensions

There are hundreds of free Firefox extensions readily available at Firefox Add-ons. They have tools and add-ons for just about everything! My favourite Firefox add-ons for SEO are:

SEOpen: This add-on lets you place a toolbar in Firefox to quickly analyze everything from the number of Yahoo! Backlinks to verifying whether the PR of a site is legitimate or not; and that’s just the beginning. I think of it as in all-in-one SEO resource that is absolutely mandatory!

SearchStatus: This nifty little add-on simply lets you display the Google PageRank, Alexa rank and Compete ranking anywhere on your browser. It also allows you to highlight nofollow links and comes equipped with a fast keyword density analyzer. Pretty sweeeeeet!

SeoQuake: This tool is one of the most advanced Firefox add-ons for SEO. Yet it’s perfect for both beginners and advanced users. Basically, SeoQuake displays the parameters for search results and even includes the findings into the search engine result pages ‘SERPs’ for the most popular search engines. You can then set these parameters to display by ascending or descending order; so you can search for any keyword in Google or Yahoo! and then set the order to show the highest PR’s, or the most Yahoo! backlinks, or by whatever parameter(s) you are most interested in.

And now, my favourite Firefox add-on is…(insert drum roll)… Speed Dial!

This add-on lets you visually display your most used websites so you can access them instantly! Forget about using bookmarks ever again! Simply open up the add-on and enter the number of columns and rows to determine the amount of sites displayed in your speed dial. To enter in the sites simply click on the boxes and type in the URL’s.

When you want to access your favourite sites simply hold CTRL and press the number of the site (number set in speed dial options) to open it up in a new tab or window. Or you can press the speed dial button which displays all your sites in one window and then you can just click on the site you want to open. Once you get the hang of this add-on you can instantly access your favourite site(s) with just a couple of clicks: saving you both time and effort! It’s a win-win situation like no other!

These cool tools and Firefox extensions are really useful and can dramatically improve your SEO efforts while simultaneously saving you time and improving your efficiency. Be sure to check them out and feel free to share your own favourite Firefox extensions!

GuruCreation SEO Services Reviewed

Aug 13, 2008 Author: test | Filed under: Search Engine Optimization
by test

As it stands, I’ve used roughly ten or so SEO services over the past year. Each one brought something different to the table, and each one had different benefits. The only one I can say anything negative about is the one provided by the Redgsr GuruCreation service, which I have plenty of experience to tell all who would listen.

My search started with a website I came to know as GuruCreation- a lead I got from an online forum I frequent. The owner of the SEO service is named Redgsr, although he also goes under the name of Daniel Millions. So far I was pleased with what I was getting into, as he personally promised me that I would have great SEO benefit in as little as two weeks.

I kept my Google Analytics account on close watch- but found something unexpected. It seems that GuruCreation has been using a public article distribution network all along, and decided to charge me an obscene amount of money by passing the network off as theirs! I was enraged at this point, yet I bottled up my concerns and waited for his statistics report.

I was still at least a little positive about the fact that I got an SEO service regardless of the fact that GuruCreation was ripping off their customers. But once I got the report, I saw that instead of the advertised 100,000 backlinks I was promised, I got a little over 150. As time went on, I lost most of those too simply because of the Google Duplicate Content filter.

Once I noticed that I got scammed outright, I started telling other customers that GuruCreation was using a service called ArticleMarketer for their distribution. For the price that GuruCreation demands for a submission, $87, we all could of had three months worth of unlimited submissions!

Once I told everyone, we all decided to boycott his services and spread the word so that no one else fell into his trap. We strongly recommend against using the GuruCreation service simply because it is pretending to be an SEO network, but in reality he is just using someone else’s hard work and making a huge profit from it.

Closing Comments

Hopefully anything said here can influence possible customers to steer clear from this shoddy service. If I’ve learned anything from this process, it is that Redgsr and GuruCreation are a complete and total scam. Now as I prepare to move on and order a real SEO service elsewhere, I’m gladly telling everyone what I found out in my experience with them.

I bet you’ve already heard about Jon Leger’s 3WayLinks network, been sent to their sales page but weren’t sure if the 3WayLinks was just another scam or your true SEO savior, right?

You see, I’ve always been a big fan of traffic generation solutions to develop my own online business. When I first heard about this 3WayLinks network, I was instantly skeptical just like you because there are just too many link farm networks out there that trying to spam the search engines.

And after read a few excellent SEO articles on Jon’s blog, I was convinced that Jon’s a cool guy that really authoritative in the SEO field and actually know well what he’s doing, so I signed up and gave it a try.

After five months of testing, I can finally say that 3WayLinks is a reliable SEO system that actually delivers on what it promises. It does actually help you achieve top ten rankings in Google.

I’m not talking about how Jon’s 3WayLinks system works here (you can learn about it on his website) - I want to share with you my own results here so you have some cold hard facts to help you decide if it’s worth it for you.

I set up a blog that just dedicated to promote a Clickbank product and then put the site in the 3WayLinks system aimed to rank 3 very targeted keywords related to that product.

The result?

Traffic in April: 155 unique visitors

Clickbank Sales in April: one sale for $22.84

Traffic in April: 216 unique visitors

Clickbank Sales in April: 2 sale for $45.68

Traffic in April: 309 unique visitors

Clickbank Sales in April: 3 sale for $92.12

All the work I did for that wordpress blog is putting some review articles on the blog, choosing 3 keywords and plugging it to the network. That was no more than 5 hours of work and after that everything was completely automated.

I also found it sometimes takes more than 5 months to get your keywords to full ranked in Google so you should be patient and the most important part of getting the results is choosing your keywords wisely.

Let’s do a match here:

With 3WayLinks, you can rank 50 of your web sites in Google with one account.

If you invest $47 every month in 3WayLinks starting now, after 6 months your little product review site just like mine is getting 600 visitors a month and earns you a reasonable $200 per month.

You set up 50 sites and put all them into the network. $200 times 50 is $10,000 per month on auto-pilot.

Isn’t it worth $47 per month?

And what if I can have Jon to give you a lifetime 3WayLinks discount?

Now you can lock in your access at the ridiculously low price of $37/month plus my private bonus buster package, instead of paying the normal $47 a month: (I’m even paying $47 a month to the membership myself!)

Even if you only get one site ranked well enough just to earn $5 per day from AdSense, you will have already achieved a 300% monthly return on your investment.

Chances you may get some winner sites that one can earn you more than $500 to $1000 per month. Multiply that by a few dozens sites you put in the network and… well, you get the idea.

The Conclusion: 3WayLinks is one of the best deals that I’ve ever seen. Now I have 10 of my sites plugged into the network and rank well for almost all of them. And if you just want a traffic system that set and forget, then I would give a big thumbs up for Jon’s 3WayLinks. Checkout the link below to get your high value bonus buster package

Tips to follow before Buying Links.

Aug 9, 2008 Author: Mark Hall | Filed under: Search Engine Optimization
by Mark Hall

wide links may seem to possess a lot of potential, but in reality this strategy is not all it is cracked up to be. For example, if there are ten thousand pages in a site, there could be an equal number of backlinks. The point is that Google overlooks the large number of links which are originating from the same site. All the ten thousand backlinks may not be taken into account, limiting your expected returns.

Other methods of buying backlinks include article and directory submission as well as from blog networks. You should not buy five different directory submission services, because they probably submit to the exact same sites. Only after doing some intensive research would you be able to find out the best deal going in directory submissions. A thousand directory submissions means that you have struck a magnum deal.

With regard to article submissions, you have to ensure that they are not submitted to the same directories so the best option is to ask for samples or list of the directories. Again, if you get services where they submit to a thousand article directories, you have struck a grand deal. You need not continue with your research for a better deal, as it could mean back-breaking work.

When you buy backlinks a whole lot of links would be aimed at your site. It is surely a grand thing to happen but you have to make sure that you use different anchor texts. Produce six to eight permutations and combinations with all your main key words and use them at once. Variations would involve choosing the keywords and creating new key words out of it, retaining the main keyword. You do not have to take it in all earnestness, just ensure that the words are changed at times. Another important thing to look for when buying backlinks on a network of blogs is that the blogs are not on the same IP address. No pageranks hardly matters but they must be indexed.

There are also deals possible where you buy links from sites which are high on pageranks but such links are usually high-priced too. There is hardly any point in getting into deals where your budget does not allow you to take such plunges, but if you buy several links from sites which have currently zero to low pageranks, it could turn into a goldmine later. Hopefully, the sites are indexed, so… just ensure this.
