Google Wants To Help You Make More Money Online

by

Chances are you’ve seen the ads for the latest and greatest Internet Marketing software program that is suppose to help you make loads of money in short order. It seems more and more these offers can be found at every corner of the Internet. And all you have to do is send them 7.


I’ve been earning extra money as an Internet Marketer for many years now. In that time, there has been thousands of programs that are suppose to help Webmasters. In this time, I’ve used a lot of software. Out of all this software, I can say honestly that there has only been a few that I would pay for. The truth of the matter is, you don’t need a lot of software to be a successful Internet Marketer. I make a lot of money using free software available to anyone.

In fact, Google has some free tools that are better than a lot of the software on the market today. If you don’t want to shell out big bucks for software, give these free tools from Google a try.

The first free program I use is Google Trends. Trends is one of my favorite services from Google. It helps me see what is being searched for currently. Trends keeps track on searches performed on Google and list the most popular searches every day and even hourly.You can even track popular searches each hour through Trends. One you use this service a few times, it won’t take you long at all to figure out how profitable this service can be for you.

Google’s Keyword Research Tool will help you to make cash online. Any Niche Marketer worth his computer knows how important this tool is. The Keyword Tool shows you how many times someone has searched for specific keywords, competition for those keywords and how much those advertisers are willing to pay. I use this tool to zero in on profitable niches. This tool is one that most people who make money with Adsense use.

Serious Webmasters will want to use Google’s Webmasters Tool program. This is an important tool for those of you with websites. This tool does several things. The two most important ones in my opinion are that it shows you the top keywords your website ranks for plus it will show you how many backlinks your site has and how many backlinks each page has. This will help you know which keywords or keyword phrases your site needs optimized for.

Google Analytics is another important Webmaster tool that you’ll find helpful in pulling serious user data from your website with. Unlike Google’s Webmaster Tool, Analytics digs down deep to show you detailed information about your website. The list of features and benefits of this program are too numerous to list here, but it’s easy to say that this free tool does what other tools costing hundreds of dollars can’t do. Analytics allows you to see which keywords are most popular for your site, how many people found your site through specific keywords as well as telling you how long they were there and what they clicked on, if anything. It also shows you where they came from, whether it was a search engine or website. This is invaluable information when you’re trying to figure out where your traffic is coming from and how well your offers are converting.

This destroys the myth that you need high dollar software to make money on the Internet. With these free tools from Google, there is no need in spending a lot of money on other programs. You can take the money you save and outsource some of those boring chores of Internet Marketing that you hate to do, like writing articles!




Unravel the Secrets to High Impact Campaign Ads That Get Results!

by

Google Adwords campaign can produce amazing results and can show its true potential in online marketing when you know how to take a proactive stance against failure by not simply ‘waiting’ for an outcome or thinking of this as a one-time project.

Making the most out of ad campaigns belongs to the experts domain since they have already perfected their techniques in getting results with their work but you can also produce your targeted result without having to equal the same amount of skillfulness through basic knowledge on keyword-copy combinations and making sense of its principles.

The Definitive Guide to Google Adwords author, Perry Marshall, presents some information and tips specifically on observing, plotting, and analyzing your ad campaign’s progress and tells you exactly how to direct your campaign the right way. The hard work has already been done; many Pay Per Click masters have shared their tips and strategies for optimizing campaigns and there is a very simple process to getting started on optimizing your own Adwords program.

You can begin by creating content-rich landing pages. Make sure that the landing page the page that you want visitors to come to when they click on the ad is full of quality information, is rich in keywords, and that it relates specifically to the offer or incentive you featured in your ad. This allows you to keep cost-per-click for your keywords at a minimum and people will not have a hard time looking for your page in the Google search results.

Second, check your usage of any negative keywords in your campaign ad. These negative keywords pertain to those that usually send in your site unnecessary or wrong kind of traffic. To firm this up, if your business is selling of gardening books and tools — you would not want to receive or attract visitors who wanted free gardening tips and events especially if your site is not offering them at all. Eliminating the words ‘free’ and ‘events’ from your list when using the Google Adwords Keyword Selector Tool will ensure your results are highly targeted and relevant to the market you are trying to reach.

Third, you can go through the ads of your competitor regularly. This can be done by ensuring that your ad does not resemble or is in no way similar to your competitor’s; otherwise, you could be giving away a bug chunk of your qualified traffic to them.

Finally, in presenting a similar information, you may conceptualize a creative ad copy and present this using a distinct angle; a good way to do this is through the use of action-oriented words in the headline wherein main words are typed in all-caps to ensure impact from the readers. You can also get other benefits from monitoring your competitor’s ads regularly; it helps you to find out which keywords may perform better than the others and vice versa.

Google Adwords campaign is an important and on-going process that produces more click-through rates (compared to your competitors) with proper optimization and fine-tuning strategies. Use any of these strategies to make sure your Google Adwords campaign is performing well and getting the results you want.

Ann Sieg’s New Free Report – Can It Save Your Business?

by

If you already grabbed a copy of Ann Sieg’s 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing you will know how groundbreaking it is. You know, everyone who has read it, appreciates it.

But there is one problem with it for most MLMers … it does not really reveal just what you should do and how to do it, to take your business to being as successful as Ann Sieg’s.

Now, Ann realized this herself and ever since she published the previous report, she has been working on this problem.  And the result of all this work is her new free report, The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto.

In this revealing (and amusing) free report, Ann recounts the story of how she accidentally stumbled upon the strategy that brought people to her in dozens and then hundreds to order her company’s products. It’s a funny story! Before she even understood why it was getting such great results, her new technique was creating a million-dollar business. In fact her customer base grew so fast that her company could not handle all of the orders she was pulling in!

And now in this new report she reveals exactly what she did. It is a simple technique that you can copy if you want. If you market the same kind of products you can do the exact same thing! And even if your business is working with a different kind of product, you can easily adapt what she did.

After sending in so many orders that her company could not keep up, she discovered a simple way of sponsoring 50 or more people every month without ever talking to any of them … and in case you are thinking she must be some kind of MLM superhero, she demonstrated her strategies to her team and a lot of them were soon bringing in 10-20 people every month too.

It got so that around 90% of the leaderboard was invariably dominated by Ann Sieg’s team … until the company stopped releasing the figures!

In The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto, Ann Sieg exposes the precise ways that anyone can start to replicate results like these online. Most network marketers do not even know about these strategies. Even those who do are not using them in the best way.

More and more network marketers are using the internet for their marketing now but most of them are making a huge mistake. They are using the same approach online that they used before. Unfortunately it almost never works, and so they do not get results. If you are one of them then you will know exactly what I mean.

As you might expect with anything from Ann Sieg, The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto turns established MLM strategies upside down. Download it today at www.marketersmanifestofree.com – before other people from your company get a hold of it and begin stealing your prospects!

Using Images in SEO

by

Most websites rely heavily on images to explain something to the site’s visitor or to give the page a more visually appealing look. Here is an example of the latter, it can be a photograph of the owner of the site or some kind of map, it can explain something to the visitor more easily than when using text.

Search engines, at the moment, can’t “read” images. The phrase “An image is worth a thousand words” is not true in SEO-land.

One of the most commonly known Search Engine Optimization tipsseo tips) that go around has to do with the way you name and tag the images that you use on your site. It’s fairly commonly accepted that Google measure your site’s worth by looking at the text on your blog, also Google’s spidering bots will take a look at the code you us in your image files.

I don’t suggest you to stop using images on your sites. You can use them where needed, but you should understand the consequences of using those images. They essentially hide content that is available for your users from search engines.

The easiest way to overcome this problem is to use the alt-attribute of your image. If the image is about your labrador dog, use “labrador dog” in the alt text. When people are doing an image search, this can help search engines find your image.

Please remember not to make the alt text “link to my labrador dog” if the image is also a link, as the < a > tag will have made that clear. I recommend you use some keywords in your image tags, it is still legitimate if you don’t stuff alt tags with all kinds of keywords.

Using alt tags this way also helps vision-impaired people. As they can’t see the page, just like search engines, they have to rely on the text that’s on your page. For many sites, it wouldn’t hurt to think more about this.

Free Ads Online Still Work

by

Although they are largely wrong, many webmasters would probably say that free advertising is dead and gone. Though it’s most likely the case that paid advertising works more effectively, free advertising is by no means dead.

There are many forms of free advertising, such as forum signatures, viral ebooks, and article marketing, which is indeed proof that free advertising is not dead. In this article however, we will just be looking at a simple and easy method, that of using free ads forums and classified advertising sites.

When it comes to placing free ads, it’s largely just a numbers game. Naturally, the more ads you have out there in circulation, the better your results are going to be. And there’s no shortage of places to post your ads. One good thing about a lot of free ad sites is that you can post your ads over and over again. At many of the free advertising forums you can move your ads to the top of the list with just a quick reply, making things much quicker and easier for you.

It’s easy to find sites to post your free ads. Simply go to your favorite search engine and look up terms like advertising for free, post free ads, free ads forum, and so on.

The real trick to effective free advertising is to simply do it on a consistent basis. If you track your results, you’ll quickly learn which sites and what times are the most effective for placing ads. Knowing the best places to post your ads makes things a lot easier and saves time as well.

Ultimately, what it is you are offering will largely determine how successful your free advertising campaigns will be. Promoting an offer that either has a wide appeal or is free, or better still both, will most likely bring the greatest results. A lot of the traffic at most free advertising sites is comprised of other advertisers, who are there to post their own ads, so having an offer that appeals to them is a good idea. If you happen to be offering something related to advertising, or even better, free advertising, you chances of success can be greatly boosted.

While posting free ads may not be the most effective traffic generator, it can certainly be effective enough to start pulling in some good targeted traffic, especially if you make the effort to do it on a consistent basis. And combining this method with other forms of free advertising, such as using forum signatures, social bookmarks, submitting articles, etc., it is quite possible to get a brand new or unnoticed site off ground in just a few short months.
