But is it really that easy? It can be, but a lot of people falsely bought into the idea that there was a lot of easy money to be made and unfortunately they’re finding out now that their not making as much as they’d like. On top of this, Google has a lot of prohibited practices when it comes to the world of Adsense. Typically, complying with these Adsense policies is a must. In addition, not only do marketers and webmasters have to comply with these adsense policies, but their websites have to also.

There are a few things to take note of when using Adsense.

1.) Dealing with Competitors-

Many of the other ads you’ll notice ; when you start hosting PPC ads, is that of your competitors. Therefore, you’ll want to put ads up on pages that aren’t earning any money. Google adsense does allow you to specify up to 200 URLS for the sites you want to bar from placing on your pages, yet the problem is that most of the time you won’t know that the competitors are out there until their ads begin to appear.

2.) Ad options-

Google offers 3 ways to make money.

-Content- A variety of shape and size ads for placing within your content, these can be text, image, or both. Ad units are full ads, and link units are strips of text links that visitors might want to click on. Google usually allows you to put up 3 Ad Units and 1 Link unit on each page of your site, but of course still following the Adsense policies.

-Referrals- You can make money by referring visitors to use products like Adwords, Adsense, the toolbar, or other software by Google. Google ultimately generates the code that you will use to promote on your webpage, and the way it works is that if someone goes to your site and clicks on the link and signs up for an Adsense account; for example, when that person who clicked earns a $100 payout from Adsense then you’ll receive $100 for referring them.

-Search- Using adsense for search typically works as putting a search box upon your website, and when a user proceeds to put in a search, a results page is opened where more pay-per-click ads are hosted. A good thing about this is that the page that holds the results can too be customized to match the color scheme of your site.


3.) Payments by Google Adsense

A problem may arise in this area because Google will not issue you a payment until your earnings pass the $100 point. Thus, Google can have the opportunity to ban your account; for example, if a marketer reached $90 and didn’t comply with Adsense guidelines to the fullest extent then Google can ban the account before the payout. This is possibly because Google doesn’t look closely into the situation until it comes time to pay the person.

As seen, Adsense is a great program to use and can be a sure-fire way of making extra or a full time income, but there are also details to look into that if ignored can ultimately lead to disappointment on the receiving end.]]>

Although hiring twenty or more people may not be possible for a one-man operation; such as running a internet business from home, it does share the main concept of planning ahead, and that is outlying as to where your business stands and what you need to do to be/stay successful.

A business plan could sound intimidating. Having an army of marketing gurus though to establish a plan for an Internet Marketing process isn’t necessary. All an internet marketing plan needs is common sense and a bit of business intelligence, and these two traits can be attained through some education and experience.

A good strategy is a technique called “micro level planning”, and it’s a technique that will ultimately allow you to know exactly where you are and where you wish to go from your current business status.

Now, the best way to start doing “micro level planning” is to ask yourself a simple question. You can ask any question you may see appropriate, but one generic one could be: “Why am I marketing on the Internet anyway? Is it to increase public awareness? To increase my sales? Or is it to Build a Community?” Then after asking these questions and noting them down it would be a good idea to note down how much of your marketing efforts will be online and how much time will you intend to spend on each of these tasks.

Secondly, another technique is in making a checklist of things that you would like to include in your business that can in turn help the process. For example, what strategies would you implement? Is it using Newsletters, Articles, Viral Marketing, Banners, Contests, or even Forums?

Other questions you can ask are: “What type of analysis will this marketing be subjected to? What is the ROI that I can expect and how am I going to monitor this? What is the annual budget I’m working with, and how will this budget be divided among the various marketing strategies I have chosen?”

In addition, to these techniques of planning your business, also its important to keep in mind the effectiveness of timelines and deadlines. These are equally important because they help to set milestones and due dates for completing certain actions, which can otherwise stretch out for more than wanted if not organized. Not having these two items will signify a risk in falling behind or getting boggled down with confusion within your Internet Marketing plan. So it’s vital to keep note for dates and times on activities, either big or small.]]>

All free methods can be highly valuable if incorporated strategically into an online business.

Email Marketing-

Promoting affiliate links using email can be extremely effective to a list.

Yahoo Answers-

Often list building can be used to get more traffic, leads, and of course sales for the business/products/services you may have or are promoting.

It is extremely easy to do; but, only if you understand two critical and proven principles.

These two well known principles are the main ingredients to any list, and without them you can find that list building is not as “smooth” going as you may want. So understanding these principles is key to making an effective and successful list that could last for years.

Powerful Elements in List Building:

1.) Free Giveaways- Giving away useful information in free products such as e-books, videos, reports, discounts, and prizes is a tested method for building solid relationships with your visitors and customers. This is seen time and again with offline companies and especially franchises that will have special sales, hold major events, or give away prizes. In fact, giving away free items is the quickest way to build a list because people are looking for value…and something free.

Although giving things away for free is the sure-fire way of attracting more visitors and contacts, many marketers have objected to this act simply because they fear it might attract the “wrong kind” of subscriber or customer. Often this refers to “tire-kickers” or people that will never buy anything because they are looking for a “free meal”.

Attracting “tire-kickers” has more to do with the nature of your gift and the kind of contacts you’re building. For example, if giving away guides to buying the best and latest gadgets or the fastest cars, then this will definitely attract the “buying customers” if done right. The solution to attracting the right customer is to tweak methods by adjusting the marketing to incorporate free elements appropriately.

2.) Value- Any list should include the offering of a valuable relationship between the expert and the subscriber. Subscribers join lists because they are looking for information in a subject they have enthusiasm for, are studying, or have a career in. In short, they are looking for benefits, and so in order to keep subscribers the key is to provide these benefits in the best way possible. An easy way to identify these benefits is to make a list of what someone would want to receive when joining a list, or you could put yourself in the subscribers shoes.

For example, what benefits would be the most enticing?:
- receiving important information
- getting special & valuable content
- getting to participate in forums with like-minded people
- receiving workshops/training videos
- getting updates and timely announcements

Whatever the benefits may be its important to make them the main selling points when building a list.

Besides the two elements of ‘Value’ and ‘Free Giveaways’ there is also a psychological reason to people joining lists.

The fact is that people like to feel included and want to become emotionally involved in their interests with like-minded individuals. This factor is great to keep in mind when building a list since including a comment box or forum in relation to your list can add to its success.

Ultimately, addressing these elements can possibly ensure a loyal list of contacts for years to come.]]>

Are there other ways to bypass Google Adwords or prevent its slap?

Yes.

There are ten ways that are extremely effective and have helped my PPC activities.

1- Make sure your site has a Google Sitemap
2- Always use the appropriate keywords & meta tags
3- Build your site on a blogging platform; like Wordpress. This avoids needing to hire an admin since the account area enables you to take charge of the content.
4- Having pages on your site that include pages such as the home page; which is critical, the about page, and the contact page.
5- Register a good domain name, one that is not too “salesy”.
6- Attach affiliate links to a resources or a contact page.
7- Include an opt-in form, and be clear about what you are offering in this form. Put it in a clear location that can effectively attract visitors to enter their info
8- Have outbound links, links to other articles and/or sites.
9- Include back links w/ high ranking on your sites from social media sites such as Digg, Facebook, and Twitter.
10- Do not talk about money on your site. Money claims; especially the “cheesy” ones, is a great way to alert Google and have them slap your account.


What are great Alternatives to Google Adwords?

Great alternatives to Adwords have been Bing PPC and Facebook Advertising. Facebook Advertising targets the interests of your target audience, rather than a certain keyword, and has also surpassed Google in regards to traffic, offering a much more expansive way to market a product, business, or service.

Google Adwords can either make or break marketing activities, the key is recognizing what Google wants on a site or avoiding Adwords altogether.]]>

1.) Message Boards/Forums-

Participating in industry related message boards is one of the easiest ways that you can promote a business, product, or service. Message boards are sites that provide you with a forum of a common interest. For example, if you are promoting a business related to Golfing, then you can do a search on a search engine for Golfing Forums and then proceed to promote your business on these forums. Thus, in promoting your product/service/business you will be aiming at an expansive target audience, willing to discuss Golfing or whatever industry you are involved in. In marketing through message boards it is important to recognize that you can subtly promote your business through what is called a ‘Forum Signature’, in which you can be providing an outlet for fellow users to browse what you have to offer or what your business is about. By providing useful commentary on the message boards you will be providing value, and in turn this expansive target audience can convert into potential customers via the link in your signature.

2.) SEO Consulting Firm-

A firm with SEO experience could be incredibly helpful to overall business goals. The entire concept of SEO alone can be complex; especially if you are new to the concept of Internet Marketing itself, and knowing how to properly implement the most effective SEO strategies can take years to master. Although the term “Consulting Firm” can sound intimidating and overwhelming the process is actually quite simple because it consists of interviewing candidates and selecting the most qualified one. That is all there is to it, and in fact it can be done quickly and can immediately have a significant impact on website traffic, because in online business if you have high search engine rankings this will typically translate into improved web traffic. Massive amounts of Web traffic through high search engine rankings is possible because Internet users trust the search engines, and use it as an everyday means to attain wanted information. Thus the most relevant websites for a particular term are the ones that Internet users trust and will most likely visit.

3.) Outsourcing Internet Marketing?
A business owner can focus on his/her strengths and outsource the rest in order to focus on priority tasks to become much more productive. By hiring a consulting firm to take care of executing Internet Marketing strategies, you can get a lot more done in less time, and focus on higher level activities such as product creation, building JV partner relationships, and copywriting. If done properly the outsourcing of Internet Marketing tasks can almost ensure success in the long run.

In short, simple Internet Marketing methods that do not require an abundance of knowledge are most often the timeless techniques that are always effective in promoting a business, product, or service. In addition, the outsourcing of these lower level tasks; such as web design, SEO, article marketing, and niche research, can play a critical part in establishing an online team that will translate into less work and more profit.]]>
1.) Message Boards/Forums-

Participating in industry related message boards is one of the easiest ways that you can promote a business, product, or service. Message boards are sites that provide you with a forum of a common interest. For example, if you are promoting a business related to Golfing, then you can do a search on a search engine for Golfing Forums and then proceed to promote your business on these forums. Thus, in promoting your product/service/business you will be aiming at an expansive target audience, willing to discuss Golfing or whatever industry you are involved in. In marketing through message boards it is important to recognize that you can subtly promote your business through what is called a ‘Forum Signature’, in which you can be providing an outlet for fellow users to browse what you have to offer or what your business is about. By providing useful commentary on the message boards you will be providing value, and in turn this expansive target audience can convert into potential customers via the link in your signature.

Four of these facts are a part of the product description and are as follows:

$ Sales- This points to how much your commission amount will be for every affiliate sale

% Sales- This percentage refers to the percentage of the product sales price $/Sale represents (The $Sales is usually more important)

% Refd - This percentage refers to the percentage of the sales of the product coming from affiliate sales

Grav- The Gravity of a product is a measure of how many affiliates are promoting it. This is usually one of the most important factors in deciding to promote a certain product.

However, the far most important basis for choosing a clickbank affiliate product is the conversion rate. The conversion rate simply implies to how many visitors out of a certain number buy the product. So for example, if 2 out of every 200 visitors to a sales page buys the product, then ultimately you end up having a 2% conversion rate.

The question that can be nagging though is how do you find what the conversion rate for a product is? Well by looking at products in the Clickbank market, you can identify certain key aspects.

1.) “Gravity”& it’s Significance : As mentioned before, the gravity is the measure to how many affiliates are promoting a product. Every clickbank product is marked by a “gravity” number, which is often on the far right, under the product title. This “Gravity” number represents how well the clickbank product is converting for affiliates. Therefore, the higher the gravity number, the better the product is converting. Also, it is important to avoid extremely high gravity numbers as these indicate an extremely high competition, so aiming for a gravity number of (example) 71.43 to 125.22 would be a good idea. This would mean the product has proven itself but the competition is low enough to still succeed in. As well, attempt to find a refund rate that is lower than 3% or 2% as this will also increase the chances of not getting refunds and keeping profit.

2.) Merchant’s Sales Copy: Questions to keep in mind is how good is the sales copy? Will it convert as much as you would like? Are the colors annoying, or are they subtle and engaging enough to make sales and get the point across? Overall, its important to have an idea of the sales page as to whether it will attract attention from the buyers perspective.
3.) Other Key factors in deciding if a Clickbank Product is a great fit:

a.) Make sure the $/Sale is greater than $20. If this number is lower than that it will be tough to profit from techniques such as Google Adwords or other paid advertising.
b.) As mentioned before shoot for gravity that is anywhere between 50 or 70 between 100 to 120. Anything lower than these numbers would indicate that this certain product isn’t popular enough and will not sell well. In addition, any numbers higher than 100 will indicate that this product is too popular and thus the competition is ridiculously high.

Just knowing the basics of the Clickbank MarketPlace can be a starting point in finding high converting products.]]>

1.) Submitting your site to many Search Engines

In getting search engine traffic the most obvious thing to do would be to submit a site to many; or as many search engines as humanly possible. The fact of the matter is that you do not need to submit your site to any search engines at all. Spending time on other activities such as building internal & external links that will point to or within your website pages. Another activity would be writing good content for your site, such as seen in article marketing. In addition, you can submit to social bookmarking sites or article directories that will get more traffic. What this will end up doing is getting the search engines to indirectly index your and as a side effect rank you high with the possibility of much more search engine traffic coming.

2.) Rush to get High PR but Not Search Engine Traffic

Many are excited to get High PR, but the reality is that PR is not equivalent to search engine traffic at all. If you have a high PR site but are not targeting to a right set of keywords for seo, you will not get get the expectations you want in terms of search engine traffic. Therefore, a right seo mindset for PR is developed from people linking to your site. If web pages with a PR5 link to you, you should be able to get a PR4. And this is all that it means. A high PR page will get indexed more regularly than sites below but that is the only true benefit from high PR, thus not meaning you will get more search engine traffic to your site.

One of the best ways to get high search engine traffic is to forget about high PR as it will come slowly once you add links that point to your site. Focusing in on writing more articles, and posting valuable unique content to your blog daily with a low competition long tail keyword will have the search engines satisfied; or in other words search engines love this and will rank you a higher position.

PR 101- What PR signifies is Page Rank, and this is what Google and other search engines generally apply to each page on the web. Search Engines such as Google also apply a score between 0 and 10 to PR (page rank). Thus, new pages will typically have a page rank of 0. On a yearly basis, search engines update page rank approximately 4 times.


3.) Not needing SEO, already ranked high For My Name

Many people consider that having a specific phrase ranked high in the search engine is enough to not need SEO. For example; “Breaking the bank with Billy”. Being ranked high for specific phrases is a good thing but the fact is that the number of people searching for this specific phrase is extremely low, if any. This is why it is wise to do SEO, and to aim for much more common phrases, such as “making money online fast”, since this would be a higher aim for searchers online.


Overall, the heart of SEO is (or should be) to target keyword phrases that have lower competition. It is possible to rank high without high PR by building more internal & external links to your pages and by daily updating blog or website content. By doing this you can easily get a faster index and rank higher.]]>

Through opt-in email addresses the response rate is real high, and so the internet allows email marketers great chances for profit, list building, and traffic. But, besides the simplicity of email marketing there are some basics to understand to know that you’re going through it in the best way.

Like mentioned, there are great benefits to email marketing, so it makes sense to take time to understand it. There’s a few benefits of marketing through email & I will quickly cover them here.

Fast-
First, the greatest benefit of all is the fast approach of email and the just as fast responses. It is possible to send out your first email and then get orders in the inbox in minutes. Email marketing is pretty much the fastest and amazing out of all marketing methods when you use it correctly.

Testing-
Marketing emails will usually have to be tested. Testing is a typical part of any kind of marketing. With email marketing the testing is much faster since the process of email marketing is sped up anyways, and so testing various emails will be faster.

Affordable-
When doing email marketing not much money has to be spent. All that is needed is a computer, internet, and time to write an email. Email marketing in general is free although you will have to pay for other things in order to do so.

Response-
Another amazing part about email marketing is the ability to get responses in almost light speed; basically minutes. The reason is that the individual on the receiving end will receive the email and then make a decision. They will either delete your email without reading it, delete it after reading some or all, or read it and buy what you’re promoting/marketing. And the best part is those that are happy with the product or purchase could forward it to friends or family, thus increasing sales and your customer base.]]>

Of course, that is just the beginning. Then you realize that there are many things you need to know to actually create or execute each of these important steps. In the face of pressure you end up not knowing how and possibly becoming frustrated. What now? The choices are actually simple.

1.) You can either stop and learn how to perform all the work yourself
2.) You can quit your Online efforts because too many problems are arising
3.) You can locate outsource support so that they can perform the tasks for you

Outsourcing is a great way to relieve yourself of these already mentioned low level activities so that you can focus on the “big picture”. Using this tactic to accomplish critical tasks has been done for years in the offline business world, so logically; it can be as effective and make life easier in the online business world. Unfortunately, many new Internet Marketers haven’t even heard of Outsourcing or do not know it’s possible in online business.

Key points to recognize for Outsourcing:

Like many things, you should do your due diligence and research before choosing a place or person to outsource to. In fact, there are a variety of ways to contact qualified candidates for outsourcing your work. Using these resources and advertising for the specifics that you need can increase your level of success in Outsourcing. Ultimately, being crystal clear in communication when advertising for outsourcing, and to your newly found employee, will be essential if you want to successfully reach milestones and achieve every detail in the activities you do not want to do.]]>

Often, there is a debate and constant warring between which strategy will be the best strategy to implement in exposing your site to the masses.

In actuality, Internet Marketing is a numbers game, and so the more targeted traffic you can get to your website, the more you will convert, and the more money you’ll make.

So which strategy is the best, free or paid?

Search Engine Optimization:

Free marketing strategies; such as SEO, are just as good as paid marketing, if not better. For example, when the majority of people go searching for information online, they go to Google or any other search engine and type in a phrase; such as “How to Cook and Clean”. The results they get back are divided into two parts, and that is Organic and Paid advertising. These differences are usually easy to identify. The organic results are listed on the left hand side and are listed 1-10 through a series of pages, while the paid are listed on the far right hand side.

When doing a search people will often decide which way is best to resolve their dilemma or situation, and most often people tend to use the free results. Thus, this is enough to indicate that if you want to get highly targeted and free traffic to your website it would be a good idea to get into the Organic results. However, many things are involved, including getting backlinks to your site, making sure you have the right keyword density, and optimizing your site. The downside to Search Engine Optimization is that in order to get your website ranked high, it can be very time consuming. This is a reason why many marketers choose to skip SEO and use Pay-Per-Click with Google Adwords, Bing, or Yahoo Overture.


PAY PER CLICK (PPC):

In short, Pay-Per-Click is when you tell Google; or any other company, how much you want to be charged every time your advertisement is clicked. The higher the amount that you set to be charged will often determine how high your website will rank in the search engines. On the other hand, if you set a low amount then your PPC may not give you good results.

The “pros” of PPC marketing is that it takes a small amount of time to get up and running, but the “con” is that you can not just set up a campaign and expect to make tons of money. PPC is a science and should be implemented with strategy, therefore doing the homework is crucial because if you don’t choose the right keywords and/or charges you could end up losing tons of money and FAST. So PPC takes skill, learning, and possibly experience to succeed.

In short, SEO is a great way for beginners to get a site ranked high in organic results. SEO may be frustrating but once you succeed with SEO the benefits are great. This is also true with PPC, but there is much more risk involved since your success is dependent on your money and skill. Overall, it’s necessary to research both SEO and PPC as much as possible before leaning upon either.]]>

2. A perfect game is impossible - Nobody can hit 18 hole-in-ones in a row. But, just like golf, in SEO you just have to play better than the your competitors to win. In SEO, your competitors are the organic links on the first page of Google.

3. Teeing off, Short Game, Putting. A good 300 yard drive reminds me of a website launched with its on-page SEO factors carefully crafted with keywords put in all of the right places. That's exactly how you want to start a round. However, you still can lose if you don't pay attention to your short game (off-page factors) or putting (programming).

4. Sand Traps - Sometimes good SEO professionals accidently get websites caught up in bad keyword neighborhoods, link farms or even red flagged by Google. This is a result of losing focus and being sloppy.

5. Mulligans, Blackhat, Cheating - SEO is no different than golf: People cheat. If they get caught Google will throw them out of the SERPs. Golfers get tossed from the tour.

6. Golf Equipment, Instruction - Ever try to shop for golf equipment online? There's thousands of items available for sale that allow you to play the game or improve your game. SEO is no different.

7. There's no guaranteed winner - Nobody can guarantee results in SEO just like nobody is guaranteed to win in golf. However, some people and companies can have a pretty good record of SERP placement over time. If you're going to invest, invest in a solid track record. I usually bet on Tiger Woods.

8. Keyword Research, Mental Game - How often do you hear that golf is a mental game? Even the best players in the world can have a poor round if their head isn't in it. I've seen lots of SEO professionals do everything right in SEO, but fail because they chose the wrong keywords to go after. Doing good keyword research and preparation is like having your "mind in the game" in golf.

9. Getting good takes time - Nobody steps on a golf course for the first time and plays like a pro. SEO is no different. Depending on the keyword you're working on, it could take 12 or more months to see first page placement in Google. Patience is a requirement in the SEO business.

10. Basketball is a sport, but it's not golf - Don't expect your web designer or IT programmer to get your website to the top of the SERPs. SEO is a completely different sport.

Golf Carts, Cigars and Beer - What do these have to do with SEO? Not much, but believe it or not, internet marketing experts and SEO professionals are not a bunch of computer geeks that don't like to have fun. If you don't believe me, attend a search conference after party.]]>
2. A perfect game is impossible - Nobody can hit 18 hole-in-ones in a row. But, just like golf, in SEO you just have to play better than the your competitors to win. In SEO, your competitors are the organic links on the first page of Google.

3. Teeing off, Short Game, Putting. A good 300 yard drive reminds me of a website launched with its on-page SEO factors carefully crafted with keywords put in all of the right places. That's exactly how you want to start a round. However, you still can lose if you don't pay attention to your short game (off-page factors) or putting (programming).

4. Sand Traps - Sometimes good SEO professionals accidently get websites caught up in bad keyword neighborhoods, link farms or even red flagged by Google. This is a result of losing focus and being sloppy.

If each page of a website is targeting the best combination of keywords.

The page itself is well constructed and optimised.

A good quality link building campaign is employed.

Saying all that if the wrong keywords are targeted, the whole venture is destined for failure.]]>
