SEO, SEM, Search Engine Optimization, and Search Engine Marketing are all terms tossed around by online marketers, but most non-techy people don't know what those terms means.  So, what is SEO?  This article will explain it.

Perhaps as you've searched around the Internet and sites like ChurchMarketingOnline.com you've seen the term SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Search Engine Optimization is simply setting up your website to best allow search engines to read
your website and understand what your website is about. Search engines aren't very good guessers, so SEO is done to tell the search engines specifically what they need to know or what you want them to know.

The goal of SEO is to increase your website's rankings in the search engines and bring more visitors to your website. An optimized website can bring 2 times, 3 times, or even 10+ times the visitors than an un-optimized website. So, understanding SEO and its importance can make or break a website.

Keywords:
Search engine optimization is primarily done by targeting keywords or keyword phrases (a keyword/keyword phrase is a word or phrase people search for in the search engines). By performing search engine optimization targeting a specific keyword, you are telling the search engines that you want them to list your website when someone searches for a particular word or phrase. For example, if you have a church in Hoboken, NJ, you would want your church's website to be listed when someone searches for churches in Hoboken, NJ. So, you would perform SEO on your website targeting "Churches in Hoboken, NJ" as part of your church marketing strategy.

More About Keywords:
Because SEO is about targeting keywords, choosing the right keywords is the most important part of Search Engine Optimization. There are two key properties of a keyword to take into account, popularity (how much are people actually searching for the keyword) and competition (how difficult will it be to rank well for the keyword). The goal is to optimize your website for the most popular keywords that you can compete for and it's not always easy to pick keywords. Just because you think a keyword should be popular, doesn't mean it is. In fact, I've found that most people's gut feeling about keywords is wrong. Even if your gut is right about the keyword's popularity, if the keyword competition is too high, your site won't rank well for it even if with SEO (at least not for a while) and you won't get any traffic. So, it's essential to do keyword research before you start optimizing your website.

Some SEO Techniques:
Basically, most SEO techniques are using the targeted keyword(s) in various places on your website, both visible and invisible to your visitors or what I refer to as "visible" and "behind-the-scenes"

Some Visible SEO Techniques:

• Use the keyword(s) in the text on the page multiple times
• Use the keyword(s) in paragraph headers
• Use the keyword(s) in link text

Some Behind-the-Scenes SEO Techniques:

• Use the keyword(s) in the Title tag
• Use the keyword(s) in the META tags
• Use the keyword(s) in alt tags for pictures
• Use the keyword(s) in the page's file name
• Use clean, valid HTML code
• Make sure there isn't too much code in the page before the actual visible content of the page (search engines will only read so much. If there is a bunch of code before the content, the search engines may not read far enough to see the content.

There are a few other things to note about SEO.

• Search engines can't read Flash (at least not yet). So, if you have a Flash site, there's only so much optimization you will be able to do.
• Search engines don't read pictures. So, if you have text on your site, but it's in a picture instead of regular text, the search engines won't be able to read it.

Every little bit helps:
SEO isn't just a single technique, but rather a combination of several techniques, each contributing their part towards the final goal It's kind of like running a race, every step you take gets you a little closer to the finish line; leave out a few steps and you're closer to the finish line, but you won't cross it. So it is with SEO, each thing you do when optimizing your website will get you closer to that #1 ranking. If you leave some elements out, you may move from not being listed to #20, but you want #1, so it's best to do as much optimization as you can.

SEO Takes Time:
Many people create their website and imagine that just creating their site will cause thousands of people to visit. This, unfortunately, isn't so, which is why we do search engine optimization, to show up in the search engines and bring more visitors to a site. However, SEO itself isn't fast either. It takes time to do the research and implement the changes. It takes even more time for the search engines to read the optimized pages and adjust their search results. Even with all of that done, it takes even more time and work for your site to be able to compete for the more popular and more competitive keywords.

SEO is a bit like the tortoise in "The Tortoise and the Hare". The tortoise kept moving slowly down the path until he reaches the finish line. There are other methods of bringing visitors to a website, like pay-per-click search listings, online adverting, etc. that can bring big results much faster, but search engine optimization, while slow, does have one huge advantage. After you have optimized your site, made your site more competitive, and have your website ranking well for the most popular keywords, the traffic keeps coming and you don't have to pay for any of it. It can be a lot of work up front, but the rewards can be enormous.

Black Hat vs. White Hat:
Kind of like the old Westerns, search engine optimization has "black hat" (bad) techniques and "white hat" (good) techniques. The black hat techniques refer to techniques that are frowned upon by the search engines because the techniques try to trick or manipulate the search engines. The white hat techniques are techniques that are approved of by the search engines. Done properly, all of the techniques I listed above are "white hat", but some generally white hat techniques can be made black hat by doing them improperly.

For example, using your keyword(s) on your web page is a white hat technique as long as the keywords are used in a natural way. Simply putting a list of keywords at the top and bottom of the page is a black hat technique. So, why does it matter? Search engines have been known to penalize or completely ban websites that use black hat techniques. That's a pretty good reason. I always recommend using white hat techniques. Just like in the Westerns, sometimes the guys in black hats seemed to get what they wanted for a while, but in the end, the guys in white hats always won. You may get away with black hat techniques for a while and may see great benefits, but in the end you'll probably end up getting penalized or even banned from the search engines and that can be very difficult to recover from. So, stay on the right side of "the law".

Final Thoughts:
Search engine optimization is both a simple and complex job. Most of the techniques for optimization are pretty simple in concept and SEO is something that most people can do. At the same time, professional SEOs have been doing these techniques for years and know the best ways to implement the techniques. It can also be very easy to miss some steps. Professionals also have access to tools and software that are used for keyword research, which, as mentioned above, is very important for the search engine optimization. The other benefit of hiring a professional SEO is that they should know the various techniques which the search engine consider "black hat" and be able to avoid them. A simple trap many amateurs make with SEO is having what seems to be a great idea about how they can optimize their site, but not realize that it's a technique that is actually putting their site in jeopardy of being penalized or banned.

Whether you do the SEO yourself or hire a professional, it's good to optimize your website. Not optimizing your website is a bit like writing a book and not publishing it. For churches especially, this is important as utilizing your website to the fullest can have eternal consequences as more people hear about what Christ has done. So, don't let your website waste away in obscurity. Optimize your site.

One of the biggest reasons why many organizations are not doing even simple things to help people find their websites in search engines is they simply don't understand how search engines work.  This article will explain the basics of how search engines work and shatter some search engine myths and help you understand what you can do to help people find your website in search engines.

One of the biggest reasons why many organizations are not doing even simple things to help people fi
d their websites in search engines is they simply don't understand how search engines work. This article is intended to explain the basics of how search engines work and in the course of doing so shatter some search engine myths and help you understand what you can do to help people find your website in search engines.

What is a search engine?
The first to step to understanding how search engines work is to understand what a search engine is. The simplest explanation is that search engine is a tool for finding things online. There are many different types of search engines but they can be put into two major categories…

Human-Powered Directories
The first "search engines" were not actually search engines as we think of them today, but searchable directories of websites organized by hierarchical categories. A site is added to a directory when the website owner fills out a submission form on the directory's website requesting their site be included in the directory and include their website's title, description, URL (web address), and category. A moderator later reviews the site and if it meets the directory's criteria a listing for that site is added or activated. The original Yahoo was originally a human-powered directory, and directories like Open Directory Project continue on today.

The downside of the human-powered search engine is that it only includes websites that have been submitted to it, which means you may not find what you're looking for especially if it's a new web page. The other downside from the directories' point of view is that reviewing every site submitted is very labor-intensive and costly. I know because my company's "search engine", OurChurch.Com's Directory of Christian Websites, like almost all church/Christian "search engines", is a human-powered directory.

Crawler/Spider-Powered Search Engines
The next generation of search engines has programs which actively seek out new sites and read them into their indexes. These programs are called crawlers, spiders, robots, or bots. All of largest and most popular search engines today are of this type, including Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.

The rest of this article is focused on how these crawler/spider-powered search engines work because more than 99% of searches are done on this type of search engine.

The Crawler
As mentioned above, the first part of a search engine is the crawler (AKA spider, robot, and bot). The crawler reads pages into the search engine raw database of every page the search engine crawler has read. Some important things to know about crawlers…

1) Search bots periodically reread every web page in their database. Why does this matter?

• You don't have to do anything when you change your site. If your site is already listed in a search engine and you make changes to your website, search engines will eventually update their information.
• You do have to be patient. The frequency of re-crawling varies depending on the search engine, the importance of your site (as determined by the search engines), and how often you update it. It could take a day or it could take more than a week.

2) Search bots follow links on the pages that have already been crawled in order to find new pages. Why does this matter?

• If you add a new page to your website or create a new website, it's important to add a link to it on a web page that is already in the search engines.
• If a web page that is already in the search engines has a link to your new page or new website, you do not need to submit a request to the search engines to crawl the new page or website, though it may still be worth doing just to be sure your website will be found quickly.

3) Some search engines have forms you can submit to request a website be crawled. Why does this matter?

• If you have a new website and no sites link to it, search bots will not be able to find it. In this case, submitting a form to the search engine requesting your site be listed or indexed can get it into search engines.
• Because human-powered directories do not have search bots/crawlers, to be listed in them you must submit a request form.

The Ranking Algorithm
Some time after a web page has been crawled by the search bot or crawler, the search engine then processes or indexes the page to determine what search words and phrases the page is relevant to as well as how relevant that page is compared with other web pages for those phrases. During this processing the search engine looks at many different factors including how many times each word and phrase occurs on the page, which words are in headings or bold, the domain name of the site, filename of the page, the pages that link to the page, and many more.

Exactly which factors a search engine looks at and how they're weighted is called the search engine's search ranking algorithm. It's like the search engine's "secret sauce." Each search engine's algorithm is different and each is a heavily guarded secret.

Why does this matter?

• There is time between when your site is crawled (or recrawled) and when it is processed or indexed. So, it can take as little as a few hours to many days or weeks before changes to your website may produce changes in its search rankings.
• Because each search engine's ranking algorithm is different, a web page can be #1 in Google but #20 in Yahoo for a particular phrase.
• Because each search algorithm is a heavily guarded secret nobody outside of a few select engineers at each search engine knows exactly how much each particular factor weighs into the rankings of each search engine. But, people who spend their professional lives helping sites rank better in search engines have gained very good idea as to what factors matter most.
• Because the search ranking algorithms look at text, headings, and other elements on a web page, changing things on the web page can change where that web page appears in the search results.
• Search ranking algorithms look at factors outside of a web page, such as the age of a website and links to the web page. So, there are other factors which you may have less influence over.

The goal of every search engine is to display to the user the information or websites the user is looking for. In other words every search engine wants to provide the best, most relevant results. As a result, search engines are constantly improving their algorithms and including new factors which they think will produce better search results. Why does this matter? As search algorithms change, so will your website's search engine rankings.

The Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs)
The crawling of websites and indexing of web pages are constantly going on even when no one is searching. The last part in the search process is part that you're probably most familiar with – the actual search. You type in a word, short phrase, or question, and the search engine displays a list of websites.

That list of websites is called the search engine results page and sometimes referred to as the SERPs.

If you do a search and look at the SERP, you'll notice two columns. Above the right column it says "Sponsored Links." These are paid advertisements. The companies and organizations listed here pay a fee to Google for each person who clicks their ad, so they're often referred to as Pay-Per-Click or PPC ads.

In the left column are the unpaid search results also sometimes called the organic results or natural results. These are the websites the search engine believes are most relevant to the search phrase that was queried. Sometimes search engines also display sponsored links in the left column above the natural results or will even place a block of pay-per-click ads in the middle of the natural results. Sponsored links are always labeled, though not always very clearly.

Why does this matter?

From the searcher's perspective, there is nothing wrong with clicking on a paid link. You may find what you're looking for there. But it's important to be aware of which websites paid to be in the results and which are there naturally.

From the web administrator's perspective, it's important to understand there are two opportunities to get to the top of the search engine rankings, through natural results and by purchasing pay-per-click advertising.

Help the Search Engines
With a better understanding how search engines work, you can make better decisions about the marketing of your website though search engines. Search engines need your help to find your website and to know what words and phrases it's relevant for. Give them the help they need. That's where search engine optimization comes in , but I'll get to that on another day.

Complete guide to website hosting including the main differences and benefits of the major two types, dedicated and shared.

There are 2 different types of website hosting accounts that webmasters can purchase, shared and dedicated. He main difference between the two is that the dedicated web hosting enables a webmaster to lease an entire web server for exclusive use, while with the shared, the webmaster shares server space with others. The dedicated provides the exclusive use of a se
ver and state-of-the-art connection options. One of the most important features of dedicated hosting is that the webmaster has a lot more control over their website real estate than with shared hosting. A good hosting company manages all the related hardware, such as the all important server and server end software and provides quality data centers. The software can be configured by the webmaster as needed to facilitate online business expansion and data space. This type of hosting, while more expensive than the shared is perfect for those building a large and intensive online presence and want complete control.

This kind of hosting is more suited to businesses and users with complex website server needs, since it deploys and runs very complex applications, such as databases, multimedia streams and bigger email solutions. The global call connections and monitoring is ideal for multiple websites.

The average investment for dedicated hosting can be in the range of $24 plus a month and the company that provides it should be professional, have excellent support and service and an uptime of at least 99%. It is also important to have a company that will deal with redundant connections and hardware failures in a matter of minutes.

Another distinction between shared and dedicated web hosting is that the dedicated connection can often be a lot faster than the shared because the customer gets an exclusive server as opposed to sharing one with several customers. Overall this is not usually an issue for those with smaller needs, such as only a few websites. But when it comes to the customer who needs to host hundreds of sites this can be a significant benefit that is well worth the financial investment.

Overall, it is not fair to say that dedicated is superior to shared, it is accurate to say that dedicated is more reliable for website content distribution and total control over the hosting environment for those with big website needs. And the financial investment in a dedicated web hosting server will go along way in creating and maintaining the web environment that is entirely customized for the individual.

Finding the right hosting company is crucial whether you choose shared or dedicated hosting. Some of the most important aspects is the customer service the host provides, which should be 24/7 with phone and live chat options, at least a 99% uptime money back guarantee and software support for all operating systems , like Linux and Windows.

Hosting a web site requires two main resources; disk space and bandwidth. Here we look at hosting unlimited bandwidth, and when it can he helpful and when it can be a complete waste of time.

There are two main resources that you always need to consider when deciding on your hosting supplier. The first is the amount of disk space that your hosting account will use, and the other is how much bandwidth you will need.

The use of disk space is pretty straight forward to understand. It is the amount of space on your hosts se
ver that your web site files will take up. The larger your files; if they are photographs for example, or the larger the volume of files, the more disk space they will take up.

The other major resource that your we site will use, is known as bandwidth.

Many hosts will make a play on the amount of bandwidth they offer. Hosting unlimited bandwidth is fairly common place these days, meaning that you can do what you like on your site.

So what exactly is bandwidth and how can hosting unlimited bandwidth help you?

Bandwidth is how much usage your site visitors make of your site. When a visitor arrives at your site, they look at a web page, and the user's browsers reads and transfers the data from the host. This process uses system resources to make the transfer, and this type of resources is called bandwidth.

How long a user stays at your site also has an impact. They type of site you run is also a major influence. Hosting simple web pages alone will not use a great deal of resources. Hosting video files or music files for download, will.

The bottom line is that if your site is likely to be bandwidth hungry, then hosting unlimited bandwidth is going to be a good idea. If your site is a simple one, then hosting unlimited bandwidth is probably an extravagance that you could do without.

If you want to find a host that is completely flexible in catering for your needs , read a web hosting review from a long time Internet marketer who know what he is talking about. Hosting unlimited bandwidth is one of many options available.

Offpage search engine optimization basically consists of all the things that you can do to get your web site ranked by the search engines. Factors that are not located ON your website.

There are many factors involved in offpage search engine optimization that, if done correctly, will help you get your site ranked by Google and the other search engines. Offpage website optimization includes the following:

Which websites that link to your page

How many other
ebsites link to your competitor?

The Google page rank of the websites that link to yours

The page titles of the websites linking to yours

The anchor text used in the linking to you

The number and type of links linking to the website that's linking to you

The number of outbound links on the website that is linking to you

The total number of links on the website that is linking to you

Are the websites linking to you deemed as an authority website by Google?

Essentially, what you want to do is study the top ranked website for your chosen keyword. You need to do exactly what they are doing – only better. Obviously, these top ranked websites are doing something right, so learn from them and then take it a step further. Google looks at all the factors mentioned above – and then some, so make sure that you study the competition in order to rank better than they do.

You don't have to beat your competitors in every single category – just in enough of them to weigh more heavily in your favor. For instance, if your competitor has 100 links to their site from other sites, find out the page rank of these other sites. If they are all have a 0 or a 1 Google page ranking, then it's going to be pretty easy for you to beat that. You won't need 100 links to your site, just a few actually - BUT from pages with a much higher page ranking!

Begin by typing your keyword into Google and take note of the #1 result. Study that webpage for a while – check their own Google page rank, etc.

Now we want to check the links TO this #1 ranked site. Go back to google and enter in the search box the following: link:www.SITE (where SITE = the url of the site you are studying). This will return a list of all the sites that are linking TO your competitors website. From here you will want to check the page rankings of those sites and the anchor text that is used to link to your competitor.

This entire process can be very time consuming , but is necessary to properly optimize your own website to rank above your competition. Once you have completed your research you will know exactly what you need to do to get your own page ranked higher on the search engines

If you think making money online isn't possible, think again. It is very possible, but it just may not be for you. There are many individual factors that determine whether or not you're capable of making money online.

This could get a wide range of responses depending on who you ask. The answer is really specific to each individual. In general, it's quite possible to make very good money online. Making money online to some is completely unheard of, and they will profess that it's impossible for anyone to do so.

You shouldn't listen to these naysayers. As I said, it relies solely on each individual. It certainly isn't impossible as there are thousands of people making money online right now. For some, however, it is impossible because they're just too lazy to do the work necessary. I know it may sound harsh, but it's true.

Some people just aren't cut out for making money online. It requires a lot of time, energy and focus. The amount of work and energy needed could easily exceed that of an actual job. Only those that are willing to stick to it no matter what will be successful and make money online.

The others who just can't seem to make it work will say that it's impossible for anyone to make it work. This clearly isn't the case and will depend entirely on how much you really want to make money online for yourself.

You'll need to separate yourself from the crowd so to speak. Take yourself beyond the "impossible" and do whatever is necessary for you to achieve your dreams. Only you are capable of making this happen for yourself to make any kind of money online.

I must warn you, though; it won't be easy, so don't be naive and listen to all the hype. As I said earlier, it will be hard work. Don't worry; it won't be manual labor or anything like that. You'll be required to plan, learn and apply what you learn in order to make money online.  It's really only as hard as you make it.

If you believe anything at all, believe that it IS possible, and believe in yourself to make it happen. There is some learning involved, but if you're able to read, absorb and then apply yourself , you'll do well.

The best thing to do is gather all the free information you can. I suggest you keep everything organized so that it will be easier to go back through later. It doesn't hurt to spend some money to educate yourself either. Just make sure to do some research first.

There are many different paths you can take when making money online. It's best to find an area that you're most interested in and then pursue that. Making money online will be easier for you when you have a passion for the area that you're working in.

Many marketers want to make you believe that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to earn a full time income from the Internet but it's not true. When you look at it, affiliate marketing is not as easy as everyone say.

Many marketers want to make you believe that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to earn a full time income from the Internet but it's not true. When you look at it, affiliate marketing is not as easy as everyone say.

Let me ask you a question. Why are th
usands of struggling affiliates are complaining on forums every single day? Because the big boys are hiding the good stuff from you.

Are you ready for what you are going to discover? The revelation I am going to make in this article will blow your mind if you are new to all this.

Let's get started...

If you are brand new to Internet marketing, I guess you bought an ebook or two or registered to digitalpoint or associateprograms.com forum. I also guess that you are still trying to earn more than $300 a month.

Why are you stuck?

It's because most of the thing you are doing are outdated. It's the sad reality. Furthermore, some of the techniques you are using right now may be effective, but without a plan, a roadmap, the best technique in the world will not produce results.

Let's take the example of someone who is just getting started with $50 as his advertising budget. It's not a lot, buy he will be able to get going. Note that I started with less than $50.

How in the world someone who earn millions of dollars every single year knows what you are going through right now? Even worst, most of the gurus started in 1996 when there was no competitors (even no Google domination) and all the niches were untapped?

All they had to do was to figure out how to create a webpage and after a few days, thousands of people would visit it and sign up?

Do you understand the reason why you are not earning $1000 a month? It's not your fault. It's not the gurus' fault either (they have no clue and huge lists, so it's easy for them).

To succeed, you need to learn the exact right strategies that are working right now and I will give you a powerful tip.

Build your list of loyal subscribers and figure out a way to ultimately get them into your paid membership site. And by the way , be sure to deliver tremendous value in your niche.

Affiliate and article marketing works like crazy for me and I am going to show you exactly what I am doing to earn money with this. It doesn't require a lot of money to start and you can do this on a shoestring. Travis Sago has a system called bum marketing and it's similar to what I am doing except that I take this to a higher level.

Affiliate and article marketing works like crazy for me and I am going to show you exactly what I am doing to earn money with this. It doesn't require a
lot of money to start and you can do this on a shoestring. Travis Sago has a system called bum marketing and it's similar to what I am doing except that I take this to a higher level.

The bum marketing method is an article marketing system to promote your affiliate programs via submission sites and classifieds ads websites like usfreeads.com.

All you need to do is to pick up an affiliate programs, research your keywords and write a 300 words keyword rich article with your affiliate link in the bio box.

It works very well, but it's a short term business model. In fact, Travis himself says that this is only the beginning of the whole story. The problem is that you are not building a valuable asset.

What's an asset?

An asset is something you created, It can be an ebook, a website a cd, a dvd set... anything. Every wealthy people on this planet owns one or several assets and if you are not building yours right from the start, you are planning to fail even if you are making an immediate profit. It won't last long.

I developed my own system through trial and errors, and I found it to be very effective in the long run.

It is similar to the bum marketing method, but your use leverage. Your own assets plus other people's asset. This double or triple your article writing efforts and will make you more money in the long run.

Let's see a concrete example of the powerful of this model.

You submit hundreds articles to directories and in the meantime, you build your own website and also feed it with articles.

Plus the articles you are promoting link to this very same site. You are gaining a lot of inbounds links.

Later on, you will be able to make a several figure income in one month. Just imagine that you built several sites and managed to get top rankings? Just head over sitepoint.com and sell them.

If your site earns $1000 a month , you can instantly sell it for $10000 or more. This is only one way to earn money with this system.

You are also building a list that will make you a lot of money if you know the basic of relationship list building.

A big mistake made by beginners is that they don't have a solid affiliate marketing plan. It's not their fault. Nobody told them the right way to do it. If you want to take your home business to the next level, you need to write this down.

A big mistake made by beginners is that they don't have a solid affiliate marketing plan. It's not their fault. Nobody told them the right way to do it. If you want to take your home business to the next level, you need to write this down./>
A good marketing plan is essential to your online business success. I don't know why, but these two simple words turn off many marketers. It's maybe because they think it's too difficult? Or maybe they think it's only for big business.

Here is how to do it easily:

1. Get this out of your mind

Take a pen and a piece of paper and be ready to write down your roadmap to success right now.

2. Don't complicate it

It's pretty easy to write a marketing plan. All you need to do is to write down the 3 different areas of your business: your market, your marketing and your people.

You don't even need a template and one single page should be enough.

What to write?

You: What are you going to do to be more productive and generate more affiliate commissions?

Your marketing: What is your advertising budget and what are the method of promotions you are going to use?

Your people: your employees. In the Internet, they will be virtual. How are you going to find them, how are you going to communicate with them? How will you keep up with the different tasks and projects?

Again, don't over complicate this, it should take you 10 minutes maximum , but be sure that you do it because this little exercise will do a lot for your affiliate business.

It's not easy to find the right Internet marketing solution that match perfectly with your dreams and aspirations.

The main problem when it comes to finding a legitimate Internet marketing solution is that most of the beginners don't really know where to start. Plus with all the scams stories all over the web, they don't know if they can really trust anyone.

It's not easy to find the right Internet marketing solution that match perfectly with your dreams and aspi
ations.

The main problem when it comes to finding a legitimate Internet marketing solution is that most of the beginners don't really know where to start. Plus with all the scams stories all over the web, they don't know if they can really trust anyone.

Affiliate marketing? Many beginners consider affiliate marketing as the starting point, but there is a question that still need to be answered.

Is affiliate marketing a scam? Will these people pay me?

What you need to know is that there are several form of affiliate marketing. Several different business models for everyone's needs. They are pay per click, pay per sale and pay per action. Recently, I've heard about pay per view or pay per play.

First, let me tell you that I usually get paid for my affiliate promotions. I said usually because sometimes, you may not be paid.

I think it's important for you to know this even before you start. But let me show you how to be sure that you will get your money. When you are first starting, I recommend that you research your affiliate programs in the well known affiliate networks.

Why? Because like this, you are almost sure that you will be paid. If you register with commission junction, linkshare or clickbank, you should receive your money like thousands of others marketers.

But when you register with individual merchants, this is another story. You need to carry out your own research on forums and search engine to see if the product's owner have a good reputation. Some of them are just here to profit from affiliates, so be careful. I didn't know this in the beginning, and I've lost a few hundreds dollars because I've not been paid for my efforts.

Remember that you are dealing with the Internet and that they are honest people , cheaters and a lot of scammers. That's the way it is. It's up to you to choose if associate programs is the best Internet marketing solution for you.

Affiliate marketing is often seen by beginners as the holy grail of Internet riches. It doesn't take long before they realize that they need to work to make money. The problem is that most people will never take action.

Affiliate marketing is often seen by beginners as the holy grail of Internet riches. It doesn't take long before they realize that they need to work to make money. The problem is that most people will never take action.

They like to dream about getting rich q
ick and watch other people succeed. If you want to turn your affiliate marketing hobby into a real business that earns money consistently even when you are sleeping, you need to follow this blueprint.

1. Act while you learn.

The truth is that you don't need to be perfect to start earning money from this incredible opportunity. You just need to take action. Let me give you an example. Many people will visit forums or even buy an ebook and learn that they need to register to an affiliate network.

What they will do after that?

First, they will think about it. Then, they will spend several days to learn more. After they learn, they will tell themselves. "I need to learn more to make this work".

This is the wrong way to do it. Listen up.

2. Become an expert

Whenever you learn a technique, do it. But doing is not enough. You need to become a master at this particular thing. I don't care if it's list building, email marketing, pay per click advertising or anything else. Just master this skill.

When you are an expert in your field, you will be exposed to a whole new world of opportunities. Let's take my example.

I started alone with no jv partners, no Internet friends, no list, no website and no money. But I still managed to earn hundreds and hundreds of dollars my very first year.

Why? Because I took action and I wasn't afraid to fail. I prefer experience ten failures and one success than never succeeding at anything.

Now, I am an affiliate and article marketing expert. And in 2006 , I started from scratch.

There are literally hundreds of online marketing business opportunity on the Internet, and to succeed, it is crucial that you choose the one with the highest return on investment.

There are literally hundreds of online marketing business opportunity on the Internet, and to succeed, it is crucial that you choose the one with the highest return on investment.

A big mistake made by online business beginners is that they think that they can make money with free methods. This is a
myth. Free advertising methods never existed.

It will cost you time or money. Period. When you understand this, you are ready to go and earn money from the Internet.

Another important point to understand is that you don't need to be a genius to earn a full time income from your home computer. Even kids earn money online in their spare time.

If you are just starting out, I suggest affiliate marketing. The beauty of this business model is that you can get started today and start driving traffic to your website after a few minutes.

Will you make money today? I don't know. Some people make money the very same days, and others take months.

To start with affiliate marketing, all you need is:

1. An Internet connection

2. A computer

3. Ability to learn

4. Find a niche

5. Find an affiliate program

6. Get your affiliate links

7. Drive traffic to your links

Should you have your own website?

The truth is that you can earn money without your own website. If your goal is to make a few hundred dollars a week, you can go this route. But if you really want to earn a second or full income from your affiliate business, you absolutely need to build your own website.

Don't worry, building a website is relatively easy when you have the right tools. In fact , my students like to start their affiliate marketing with blogs. Blogs are the easiest way to get started with this amazing online marketing business opportunity.

You can build a blog today in less than five minutes. Just head over blogger.com and get your money making affiliate blogger blog.

Many affiliate beginners wonder if they should promote several products with one website only or set up a new website for each product they want to promote. Others wonder if they should link directly to the vendor's salespage or if they really need to get their own site?

Many affiliate beginners wonder if they should promote several products with one website only or set up a new website for each product they want to promote. Others wonder if they should link directly to the ven
or's salespage or if they really need to get their own site?

When you start, it's better to concentrate on one website only. Furthermore, while you are learning the ins and out of this online business model, just stick with one product at a time.

I would even say that you need to try one traffic generation at a time. Do not try article marketing and pay per click advertising at the same time.

Focus is one of the keys to success with affiliate marketing. Don't spread yourself too thin.

As for linking to the merchant website, this is a really bad idea. I'd recommend this to a more established affiliate who is already earning money and knows what he is doing.

As for the newbie, it's preferable that he start to understand tracking and conversion right from the start. I didn't track my marketing effort my first year online, and now that I do, I know that I left a lot of money on the table.

Let me give you an example. I am promoting a forex product with clickbank these days, and I've made several sales during this month. I logged into my clickbank account to find out where the sales came from. I wanted to know if they bought through my newsletter or from my website?

This is what I wanted to know, but unfortunately, I made a mistake and added a wrong tracing code! This is a small mistake, but the problem is that I don't know what made me more sales. Anyway, I corrected this, and I will find out very soon.

Don't forget , focus on one thing at a time if you are just starting and track your visitors.

Affiliate marketing is becoming more and more popular, and if you want to succeed, you absolutely need to stand out from the crowd because new competitors are jumping on the Internet money getting opportunity every single day.

Like products owners, you
need to have your unique proposition. Give to your visitors a good reason to buy from you.

Let's see how you can become a more successful affiliate just by making simple changes to your marketing.

1. Your own domain name

Most of the affiliate beginners will practice direct linking. In my opinion, this is a big mistake for several reasons.

Imagine for a moment that the merchant decide to close his affiliate program. You would have to change every single link on your blogs and websites.

Another reason is that you need to build your own list of subscribers.

2. Build a list

A list is an asset you can rely on. Even if all your source of traffic disappeared for any reason, your subscribers will stay with you.

And the best part is that if you know how to treat them, they will buy the products you recommend.

Let me give you a real life example. A few months ago, I decided to travel to Sudan. The Internet connection is a little bit weak there, so I couldn't work (plus I was enjoying my trip although I had my laptop with me).

I spent one full month there without working. The only thing I did was to send two emails to my subscribers about a program I recommended to them. I earn more than one thousand dollar from a single email.

I hope that now, you understand the importance of building your list.

Be different , stand out from the crowd and watch what happens to your affiliate income.

The Hammerfall game is a role playing game that is hosted on the MySpace platform. That means that in order to play the game, you have to be a member of the social networking site - MySpace.

All you need to do is to create an account. Registration and account creation is free.

Once you are a member of the website, and you have your own account, you can install many third party games and applications. Some are useful applications with practical functions, while others pr
vide hours and hours of enjoyment. Hammerfall is a game that provides you with lots of fun.

To start playing the game, you must first activate the game in your account. There are no additional downloads. All you have to do is to proceed to the official Hammerfall web page on MySpace, and you can join the game from there. Of course, you have to be logged in to do so.

Similar to many RPG games, you start with a basic character. Your character will have stats for health, power, energy, stamina, and toughness. But unlike conventional RPG games, you can't do a lot of influence the increase of the stats. The stats are generated in a passive manner as the game progresses. This means that as a game player, you have to be extra careful about using up your points. Once you use them, you have to wait for the stats to regenerate again.

The Hammerfall game has a massive story line. But it will only be revealed to you as you play the game. You start out from a small little island called Summervale. Once in the game, you should realize that the virtual world (Kalamar Empire) is filled with orcs and goblins. You will have to fight many of these monsters along the way.

But fighting orcs and goblins is the easy part. The difficult part is to fight the big bosses or find specific items needed to advance further in the game. That is where you will need the most help. If you find that there is a boss that you can't beat, no matter how hard you try or an item you're unable to find, etc., perhaps it's time to head over to the Hammerfall forums for some hints and tips.

Since this is a huge virtual world, you may also find yourself getting lost in the midst of the game play. For example, some players don't know what to do after killing a boss. This happens quite often. More experienced players will be able to provide some guidance and tips.

Finally, you have mazes in the game that you need to overcome. Mazes make the game challenging, but they can also be a source of frustration. You need to know what to do in the mazes. Otherwise, you find yourself using up too much stamina, and you could be wasting valuable time.

Fortunately , guides that offer useful hints and tips are also available. Information is usually provided by other fellow gamers and senior forum members.

Organic SEO techniques use natural ranking methods of search engines to draw traffic to a site. You do not have to advertise your website to bring traffic to it.

Organic SEO Techniques - The Basics

Organic SEO the oretically can save you expenses related to advertising, but you have to take a call because SEO requirements can also oblige you to hire professionals. Advertising requires constant investment, while organic SEO is a one-time investment over a period of a few months. Since Google started auctio
ing popular keywords to top bidders, advertising is no longer profitable for small businesses.

Advantages of Organic SEO

Organic SEO techniques draw more traffic than advertising.

Organic SEO techniques reward relevant content, not advertising gimmicks.

Because customers are wary of advertised products, they rely more on search engine results to guide them to a relevant website. Therefore, if your website shows up among top search engine results, you win their trust.

 

Techniques That Work

A good SEO expert can be very useful if you are serious about how your website is ranked on Google, Yahoo, or MSN searches. However, you must always hire an ethical SEO. SEO is not magic and there are no one-size-fits-all formulas here. Each website has different SEO requirements depending on the target audience, nature of website, and budget allocation.

Content - Content is king. You do not have to be an SEO magician to be able to generate good content. You do need to be an expert in your business area though, while the ability to draw people in through writing is a bonus. If you are not a writer, hire experts. Content also refers to graphics, design, and various applications on your site.

Keywords - The first parameter is the nature of keywords and their variations. When web surfers look for information on vacuum hoses, chances are they will also look up "vacuum cleaners", "cheap vacuum cleaners", and "home appliances". Being creative helps. The next parameter is keyword density. Remember that Google penalizes pages with a keyword density of more than 5 percent.

Site Navigation - Good site navigation invites visitors to explore the website further; poor site navigation sends them off to other websites, probably your competitors'.

Other factors - The other organic SEO techniques include extensive page interlinking, robot txt files, meta tags, and URL tweaking.

Organic SEO techniques require hard work, creativity, and diligence. However, if your website is genuine and you are not afraid of being scrutinized for relevance , organic SEO might turn out to be the more rewarding option for you.

There are many useful ways to boost your search rankings and website traffic but not many of them have the added bonus of being free. Assuming you ignore the short amount of time submitting your site details, website directories truly are a free way to get higher placements on Google search results, increased referrals and an overall boost in the promotion of your site. Not all link directories are created equally of course so let's take a look at some of the things that separate the good from the great.

One of the first things you will do when you visit a web directory (or link directory as they are also commonly known) is navigate your way to the category that suits your website the best. If it's a quality web directory then it will contain a wide range of detailed categories set out in an easy to follow hierarchy. The best directories cater for all types of different niche websites, if you own a franchise related website then you want to add it to the franchise category rather than having to settle for a very general business category. Finding your specific niche category and submitting your URL is going to help search engines such as Google associate your site better with the keywords you have chosen.

Because owning and maintaining a website directory can be hard work and often very time consuming, some directory owners automate their submission approvals, this may save time but it is clearly a bad idea. Genuinely human edited directories fare much better because of a tougher submission criteria. If websites are accepted for the wrong categories or don't follow the submission guidelines then the directory will quickly deteriorate into a meaningless list of backlinks to sites that may or may not offer any useful content to Internet users and searchers. Spending that extra time on link approval allows users to follow benefit from having their site as part of the directory.

While a large number of web directories have good submission criteria and are easy to navigate, it doesn't mean much if they're extremely slow in their approval process. Some directories are notoriously slow at approving new URL submissions while others are run by people who have little time and end up forgetting about it all together. This can be a waste of your time as you are much better off submitting to sites that are consistently approving submissions and maintaining an active directory. Those who keep an active submission process going with fast approvals are also more likely to be keeping up with recent trends, boosting both the quality of their site and in turn the quality of the backlinks that refer web surfers back to your own website.

Assuming the directory you are submitting your site URL, title and description to has a pass mark for the previous criteria, then you're probably onto a good thing. Obviously if you are looking for free Internet marketing and promotion of your site then you don't want the directory to turn around at the last minute and ask you for a yearly subscription. There's not much more annoying then filling out all the forms and going through the whole submission process before realizing that you have to pay money. Even directories that require a reciprocal link can be frustrating as this requires extra work on your part and can lesson the impact of your original backlink.

In a nutshell you'll find that there are thousands of website directories out there but not all of them are of a high quality. Don't waste your time submitting to low quality directories or spending hard earned cash when you could be taking advantage of directories that will allow you to quickly and easily submit your details while providing you with backlinks , referrals and better search engine rankings at the same time. Market your site with directories that give you the best results and allow you to spend more time improving the quality of your own site.
