Top – Article Submission And Marketing That Still Works

by Marta Furani

So, you’re spending a lot of money, time and efforts, struggling like mad to market your business, website, blogs using the most powerful Internet marketing strategies, hoping to make your business a success to earn you a modest living. Most probably, you have been one of the hard chasers, extremely busy writing ad copies, articles, press releases, sending them to media outlets and popular publications, working night and day to promote your business using the most powerful Internet marketing strategies. Simply because affiliate marketing is the easiest and possibly the best way to earn money online, unless otherwise you are a businessman and would rather sell your own products online than advertise other businessman’s products on your website.

The most important affiliate marketing secret to keep in mind is the reason why affiliate marketing remains the most effective way of marketing any online business. Writing your own articles and publishing them can be free as opposed to paying for Pay Per Click Advertising and the more articles you write the more well known you will be and the more targeted site traffic you will get. Although affiliate marketing is promoted as one of the easiest and most successful ways to earn money online, it’s not as easy as it sounds.

This advertises you and your website and builds free traffic to your site and trustworthiness for you if your articles are of good quality. You’ve probably heard by now that article marketing can help you build links back to your site. Each article you have published is excellent advertising for your website as at the end of your article you will have printed an ‘about the author’ section (also called bylines).

Keep in mind that Article Marketing is not an ad, so you can not just start writing about how great your product or service is but rather supply helpful informative content for people. You don’t even really need to know much about the subject you are writing the article about since there are resources available that you can use to provide a basis that would have enough informatiom in it to get your article started. It is impossible to predict which sites will pick your article up, but it can be very exciting to find that a piece that you created has been published by a site with Page Rank of 4 , 5 or possibly better. Investigate and construct a list of all the free article directories you can find so that you can simply submit your articles to the sites on your list when you’ve finished writing. Based on my experience both as an author and a creator of niche focused content sites, think very carefully before leaping on the wagon of the newest trend in article publishing.

Writing your own articles and publishing them can be free as contrasted to paying for Pay Per Click Advertising and the more articles you create the more well known you will be and the more functional website traffic you will get. Every article you have published is absolute advertising for your website as at the end of your article you will have printed an ‘about the author’ section (also called bylines), this advertises you and your website and builds free traffic to your site and trustworthiness for you if your articles are of good individualism. If you want to write articles purely for the sake of getting a lot of low quality links back to your website, you are going to have to play the numbers game – lots of low quality articles submitted through cybernated tools to the various article directories.

You’ve most likely heard by now that article marketing can help you build links back to your site. Most people do not know it but a free marketing article can be much more powerful than a mini site and can also do a lot more to drive valuable traffic to a targeted site. While article marketing is a function of many factors that may not lend itself to an exact computation of absolute interest in monetary terms, we can’t run away from the fact that when it comes to the profitability of any online business, we have to think in sums of dollars and cents.

by Zigfred Diaz

Websites + Traffic + Ads/Products = Money. Each veteran internet market webmaster and blogger would certainly agree to this simple equation. Following this simple equation is all it takes to make money online.

Now that you have decided to take the challenge of making your presence online felt or that you now decided to join the blogging bandwagon, the problem you have to face now is how to bring the traffic in. There are thousands of ways to do this as there are a thousand ways to kill a cat. Some of them may cost you money, while others are entirely free.

Of course we always want to do bring in traffic without costing us a dime. So what is one way of doing it? One way of doing it is to write valuable articles for free. If you have a blog, you are forced to write articles anyway so why not make your articles valuable and submit your articles to various free articles archiving website? Submitting articles to article hubs lets you spread your message all over the internet. Other webmasters will also use your free article by placing it in their website. With them doing this you get free advertisement since most of these free article sites allow you to post your authors bio and a link to your site. As time passes these backward links will pile up and eventually push your sites rating.

Not all backward links to your site are valuable. Search engines give more value to links to your site from other sites whose content are somehow related to your site. Writing free valuable articles are so much better in promoting your site than random link exchange programs or other methods or ways of trying to improve your sites ratings since most likely web masters will only try to feature articles that they feel are related to their sites.

My blog is less than 3 months old as of the time the writing of this article but I have submitted more than a dozen articles already to different article hubs. That is why I got a Google page rank of 2 (P.R – 2) even if my site is only less than 3 months old. Some sites have been there for more than year yet they barely make it to P.R – 1. What is worse is that other sites are still at P.R – 0.

However take note that it may cost you some time when submit your articles to free article archives. But in the end your sacrifices is sure to pay off.

This Is What You Need To Know About Job Hunting…

by Charlie Martin

You have two choices after you have gone in for the interview. One is wait for them to call you. The other is follow up with them and ask good questions. Never just sit and wait for them to call.

Consider two men applying for a prime position at a company. After the interview, the first applicant just sits around waiting to hear from his prospective employer.

On the other hand, the second applicant distributes his contact information to some people that he met in the company. Furthermore, applicant number two does a follow-up on the results of the job interview a few days later. The first applicant has not been heard from, because he just relies on the basic “We’ll call you” routine. Who do you think will have a greater chance of getting the job?

One huge point here is that the first gentleman was more qualified for the job. He was really a better fit, but he did not get the job because he was not as hungry for success.

If you are still waiting for that job offer and you do not follow up on your contacts, your chances of getting hired become slimmer. In business, following up on all of your contacts is a sure-fire way to spread the word about you, your business sense and expanding your horizons.

If you are still looking for a job, here are some tips on how to follow up on your contacts:

* You might send a thank you note. There is the possibility they will call you later from you letter.

* Leave all your contact information with them to include your email address and home address.

* Some companies do take a look at your character references so alert the people on your list that they might receive a call from your prospective employers.

* Be Positive.

How To Create Customers For Life

by Mark Hall

Businesses grow on purpose lot luck or by chance. In order to maximize your profits you need to implement the principle that I will share with you. If you are already doing this think of ways that you can take it to another level. There is always room for improvement. Please let me explain.

Most businesses view their prospects as walking dollar bills. If you attract enough customers you’ll soon own the business you’ve always dreamed off. A life of filled with vacations to exotic lands, luxury cars, and 5,000 square foot estates. So every prospect is seen as the ticket to the life you’ve always dreamed off.

This approach does not work in the long run. So what you made your qouta or you grew your business. You may experience a short term gain, but you will ultimately lose in the long run. In order to preserve long term growth there must be a shift in how you interact with your customers.

All people are taught from the earliest ages that it is not right to receive something with out giving back. It is woven into our human dna. The principle is time-tested and will continue to govern our behavior. Here is a good example.

A study was conducted at Brigham Young University. A professor randomly mailed Christmas cards to perfect strangers. He simply got their information out of the phone book from different cities. He received a flood of cards from people he had never known! The people who received the cards from a complete stranger felt obligated to give back. There is a principle here that you can use to grow your business.

If you want to attract more customers who will do business with you then you must ask the question…Who can I genuinely help? What can I do to benefit some one else? If you are effective at giving people what they need then they will feel obligated to do business with you. If you really make this shift then all the things you are hoping for i.e. the vacations, cars, and homes will begin to draw closer to you.

If you really want to grow your business then you must make this adjustment. For example, if you are selling an ebook. Why not contact a few prospective buyers and allow them to view a couple of chapters of the book for free. Let them know that you don’t do this for every customer. If the book is well written and informative your customers will be more likely to do business with you. Remember if your customers feel like you are giving them something special they will be more likely to give back the same behavior.

Take some time to do some strategic thinking. Your results will depend on how you can you best apply this principle.

Google Adsense Has Lost Its Edge

by Michael Johnson

Why would anyone say that Google Adsense is dead? It’s not, but it took a wrong turn down a dirt road the other day when they announced that they would stop showing Google Adsense Ads on millions of websites.

In the advertising world they would call this a monumental blunder. An over asessment of worth and value in the marketplace. Google believes they can cast out Publishers of their ads automaticaly without hurting anyone’s feelings. Anyone who counts, that is.

Publishers with website content which is not unique or does not meet the Google “standard” will be automatically dropped. Google is being careful they say, but many site owners have already been dropped after making Google thousands upon thousands of dollars.

The Spider is Googling the sites and making the choice for them. Obviously the Pagerank, link popularity and oher normal Goolge factors are going into the calculations. This effectively takes away this means of internet advertising for small businesses.

Google Adsense is now dead for most small site publishers. If you have found that Google Adsense Ads have not been showing on your site or that Public Service Ads are now a staple for your site, you now know why.

Microsoft Adcenter and Yahoo Network Ads will undoubtedly jump on this and attempt to take advantage of Google’s mistake. Adbrite is another powerfull contender in the ad market Google will now lose. Take advantage of the profits you can get from Google now, but in the next few months, dollars will turn to pennies as Google takes more for their shot at world domaination.
