this website that help in many different areas of your online business, but of them all, this may very well be the most important.&lt;br /&gt;  The recipe for success in online marketing is incredibly simple, and to save you spending hundreds of dollars on products which rehash this in someway I will give it to you here for nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Find a Niche.&lt;br /&gt;2.  Find a product that services that niche.&lt;br /&gt;3.  Create a site that sells that product.&lt;br /&gt;4.  Send traffic to that site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  It's simple, and if you have spent any ammount of time looking into marketing online, you already knew it.  Maybe it hadn't crystalised itself into that precise formula yet, but you know that to make money you have to do all of these things.  Of them all, number 4 is by far the most important.  With enough traffic even the worst designed site, with a terrible product in an obscure Niche will eventually sell something.  Conversely, a well researched Niche with a brilliant product promoted through a perfect site is worth nothing if no-one ever gets to the site.  Think about all the web promotions you have ever read and then concerntrate on the single factor that they NEVER tell you - that is how many visitors they get to the website.  If someone makes 1000 sales on release day - you can gaurantee that had 10,000, probably 100,000 visitors.  The question should not be what is so great about this product that 1000 people bought it on day one.  The question should be how did they get that traffic to thier site.  Answer THAT question, and you will make it rich online.&lt;br /&gt;  To be successful online you will want to understand all 4 stages of the strategy, to become rich you will need to become a master at traffic generation.&lt;br /&gt;  So look over those 4 steps again, and keep them in mind as you browse the articles on this site.  Become as good as you can at every stage, but never forget - without traffic, you have nothing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8413149986398572418-789991143193589752?l=firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/feeds/789991143193589752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8413149986398572418&amp;postID=789991143193589752' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/789991143193589752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/789991143193589752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/2007/04/most-important-thing-you-will-read-on.html' title='The most Important Thing You Will Read On This Site'/><author><name>firstonlinedollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15289916898009288466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413149986398572418.post-639663190265338532</id><published>2007-04-22T19:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-22T19:40:08.522-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Traffic Generation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>Make Money Online With Google Adwords</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Making money with Google is one of the quickest, easiest and most effective ways to make money online. The reason is because the traffic is laser targeted. If somebody types in, for example, ‘work from home job’ they are looking to find a home based job. In comparison if a user is on a general news site let’s say and sees a banner or text ad for a work from home job they are less likely to be interested. What Google allows you to do is instantly put your product or service in front of people who are actively looking for it. This comes in the form of Google Adwords. If you’re unfamiliar with adwords they are simply the text ads you see at the top and right hand column of Google’s search engine results pages. Advertisers bid against one another for placement. Ideally you want the top spot on the first page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can find a multitude of affiliate products that will pay you a percentage of sales you generate. You can advertise these affiliate products on Google and often earn head-spinning amounts of money, especially if you find a hot product with a generous commission and can achieve a top placement on Google. It’s an easy way to make money online and there are so many niches you’ll never run out of areas in which to make money from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The downside to making money with Google Adwords is that it’s so effective that everybody wants in on the action and the prices continue to rise year after year squeezing out many advertisers and reducing profit margins for nearly everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you truly want to make money online with Google adwords you need to keep your ad costs down. You can do this using a combination of techniques… optimization and cost offsetting are the number one tactics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Optimizing simply means tracking which keywords and phrases get clicks and convert the best. Typically longer tail keywords convert better as opposed to broad general terms. Example: Make Money is less likely to convert than say make money online with Google adwords. The latter is more specific. The user is not looking for any old way to make money online. They want to do it using Google Adwords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another optimization tactic is placing high initial bids for keywords when you setup a new campaign. This gets you higher placement which nearly always leads to a higher click-thru rate. The higher the CTR the more relevant Google sees your ad being and therefore they rank your ads higher. Relevancy trumps bid amount always. You'll be able to slowly lower your cost per click amount and still retain your placement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course there are other optimization techniques, but these are the two big ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next method is offsetting. Offsetting is the brilliant tactic to get your adwords ads free. One brilliant internet marketer is getting over 12 million a year in free Google Adwords using an &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.cbengine.com/res/stat.cfm?v=freegoogle"&gt;easy secret&lt;/a&gt;.  He offsets his ad costs to his competitors. Crazy sounding, I know. But it works like a charm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, Google adwords is one of the easiest ways to make money online. You can start making money within minutes and your traffic is laser targeted leading to higher conversion rates and greater profits. But it's getting expensive and more competitive so you must employ optimization and offsetting techniques to remain in the game and grow your earnings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Bill Broich is a professional internet marketer specializing in Clickbank products and Google Adwords.

Although, it is just beginning to gain momentum, Pay Per Click has had its share in the market, too. There are still doubts about the effectiveness of this, nonetheless, for some it is proven to be beneficial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So how does a pay per click work? Well, for starters, to get started with it, you have to come up with keywords that you think website visitors may think about visiting. It is like, who gets to come up with a simple yet easily crosses in the mind of a user when he tries to search for something on the net. Once you have this, you get to bid a position the PPC provider. Now, the more clicks you get from site visitors, the more amount it gives back to you. Now, how are you going to come up with the keywords? Below are simple steps that you can follow:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a. Relevant Keyword is Equivalent Search. You have to think of a keyword that is simple and encompasses specific searches. Make sure, too, that the keyword results to searches that are relevant to what it stands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;b. Test your own Keywords to the search engines. This will allow you to have a clear view as to what other searches your designed keyword will bring should it be used in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;c. Next is to monitor your campaign. By monitoring you are able to track your click and the bulk of its origin. Of course, by knowing which keyword generates more click, these are most likely the ones you keep bidding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

The following is a four-step  system you can apply anytime you need to find a new  niche audience to target and profit from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Initial Brainstorming&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This first step is best approached with a very open  mind and a notebook and pen handy. The idea is to seek  topics that are outside your current realm of  knowledge. One of the best ways to do this is by  reading blogs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bloggers come from every walk of life, and you will  find blogs with information on almost any niche topic  imaginable. Best of all, bloggers provide fresh,  timely information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Start spending some time reading some random blogs. A  good starting place would be at blog directories such  as Blogdex - http://www.blogdex.net . As you are  reading, you'll discover many different topics being  discussed. Many of these you may have never heard of  before. Start writing these down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Example: You found yourself reading a blog post that  described the blogger's recent experience at a  demolition derby. Maybe you don't know much yourself  about this niche, so you add "demolition derby" to  your list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Keyword Research&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have a list of several possible niches, the  next step is to find out what keywords and keyword  phrases people are using to search for this and  related information via the major search engines. Good  Keywords -http://www.goodkeywords.com for example, is  a free Windows software you can download that will  help you do just this. With this program, you can  type-in a topic from your list and the software will   begin to uncover many related keyword phrases being   actively searched for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It takes time to get the hang of this software, but  once you master it you will be able to generate large  and valuable keyword lists. After you uncover at least  a few dozen related keyword phrases, save your list and  move onto the next step. If you are not able to  uncover many related keyword phrases, chances are  there is not much potential here and you should start  over with another topic from step one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Example: Using Good Keywords or a similar tool, you  enter the term "demolition derby". You soon have a  large list of related keyword phrases people have been  using to search for information on this topic, such as  "demolition derby video" and "demolition derby car for  sale".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Secondary Idea Creation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read through the keyword list you generated. Some of  your keyword phrases are going to give you ideas for  other target audiences you may want to explore in the  future. Take some time now to write these new ideas  down while they are still fresh in your mind. Save  this information for later reference. You can never  have enough fresh ideas to explore when trying to  uncover under-exploited niche markets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Example: One of the keyword phrases in your  "demolition derby" list was "demolition derby game  online" - you note that later you should explore what  other types of online games people are searching for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Niche Potential Analysis&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you used Good Keywords to mine for keyword  phrases, you will have also been provided with an  approximate number of times each of these terms was  searched for during the past month. The next thing you  need to do is compare this number, representing  potential search engine traffic, with the number of  websites already catering directly to these searches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To do this, start by taking your keyword phrases and  do an exact phrases search on each of them at Google,  making certain to surround your keyword phrase in  quotes. Write down the number of results google brings  back for your search. Next, compare the number of  monthly searches for each phrase to the number of  Google results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are lucky, you will discover that some of your  keyword phrases with good monthly traffic don't have  many results in the search engines yet. If you find  that you have uncovered a niche that has several  keyword phrases with a high number of monthly searches  and at least a few of them have a low number of  results in Google, chances are you have found a very  good niche to exploit with your next online project.  If not, go back to the list you created in step one  and repeat the process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Example: You discover that the phrase "demolition  derby car for sale" is searched for around 700 times  monthly, but brings back only 486 results in Google  and the term "demoliton derby pic" receives several  hundred searches a month but only returns 258 results  in Google. You are very happy to have discovered a  potentially hot niche with good under-exploited  keyword phrases to target.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although there are several costly and difficult to  master programs available that can help you discover  unique target markets, the system above has  proven to be an effective free method for uncovering  niches to profit from. Apply it today and be on your  way to niche marketing success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;James Allen is a niche market researcher who provides his private high-end internet marketing clients with valuable information on untapped niche audiences.

Some are complex and some are simple. Below is a list of some of the more popular methods of cheating.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Give yourself a point for each method of cheating that you already employ and then rate yourself on our cheat-o-meter.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;-- Opening the same exchange in several windows to generate multiple hits at a time. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- Insert the Start URL from one exchange into the Target URL from another. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- Open multiple windows and minimise them until just the "Next Page" link is showing. Click away. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- Use a custom browser (eg – Crazy Browser) to "auto-click" through exchange programs so it generates hits while you watch Jerry Springer. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- Use custom made software designed to get around the cheat-protection on a traffic exchange. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How did you do?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- 1pt: You are a liar and a thief &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- 2pts You are a liar and a thief&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- 3pts You are a liar and a thief&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- 4pts You are a liar and a thief&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- 5pts You are a liar and a thief&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In truth, if you are a serial cheater, then you have probably stopped reading this article when you realised it wasn’t going to teach you anything you didn’t already know.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you have played around with any of these ideas, then you might find the idea of being called a "thief" extreme. I disagree.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you are using any of these methods, you are one step away from shoplifting sweets from the corner shop.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And this is why.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When someone creates a new traffic exchange a lot of time and money goes into the projects creation and administration. They may give away free hits as an introductory offer but, after that, hits can only be purchased or earned.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is how the owner makes his income. This is how they see a return on their efforts.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you earn these credits through fradulent means, this is akin to getting a friend to clock you out of work while you take the afternoon off. You are earning something you haven’t WORKED for.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I’ve heard it argued that traffic exchange owners make so much money, they barely notice the lost credits that cheaters steal.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is the same ridiculous argument that says it is ok to steal from large department stores because "they can afford it". At the end of the day, the losses are added to the prices that honest people choose to pay. Honest surfer’s hard earned credits are wasted by cheats.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And you are still a thief whether the individual you steal from can afford it or not.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I should also point out that the majority of traffic exchange owners are not rich. The successful ones may make a tidy income, but the majority are probably struggling to break even. Stealing credits does not help their endeavours.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you are using, or considering, any kind of cheat method, please think twice. Think about your reputation, think about the owner you are stealing from, and think about Dylan Campbell whose credits are being frittered away on Crazy Browser enthusiasts who think they have discovered something new.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Theft isn’t new. It just keeps changing shape.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And for all those smug surfers out there who are sat back, smugly thinking, "I never cheat". Do you honestly view EVERY website for the ENTIRE time the counter is ticking?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I doubt it. And let’s be sensible, it is almost impossible not to break the occasional term or condition. So many traffic exchanges, each with their own unique demands. Who can remember every single last rule?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I’m not demanding perfection from surfers, just a certain amount of fair play. So let me tell you how I surf.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Am I a cheat? No. Do I break terms &amp; conditions? Yes. Do I view EVERY website that I click through? Yes. And I believe that it is every traffic exchange users duty to do the same.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1)&lt;/strong&gt; Make a list of all the traffic exchanges you belong to. For this example, pretend I am a member of 20.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2)&lt;/strong&gt; List all the days you know you can spend at least 20 minutes surfing. For this example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 3)&lt;/strong&gt; Share out the exchanges equally among the days. For this example, I can assign five exchanges to each day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 4)&lt;/strong&gt; Visit the Start URL of the first exchange on your list. Go to the menu bar of IE and click, "Favourites" and then, "Add to Favourites". Create a new folder called, "Surf Monday" or something similar and add the Start URL to this folder. Repeat for the next four exchanges on your list.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 5)&lt;/strong&gt; Repeat Step 4 for the next five exchanges on your list and place them in a new folder called, "Surf Wednesday" or something similar. Repeat this process for Friday’s and Saturday’s.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When Monday comes around, open the appropriate folder for Monday’s and open all the exchanges in that folder in separate browser windows. Make sure they are ALL full size. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You should see each copy of IE that you have opened, listed in the Windows bar at the bottom of your screen. If they are grouped together, click on the IE group and you should be able to see each Traffic Exchange listed individually. Make sure you haven’t acidentally opened the same Traffic Exchange twice.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Click on the first exchange and view the website. When the counter has finished click to the next site and IMMEDIATELY move to the next IE window. Precious seconds are wasted while the next website loads, so use them instead viewing the website in the next IE window.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once again, view the website until the counter has finished, click to the next site and immediately move to the next browser window in your sequence.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Notice that I am not viewing each website for the full length of the counter, but I am viewing EVERY website. I, for one, would have no problem with my websites being viewed in this manner. Far better, than not being viewed at all because of a cheaters greed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When you have viewed each browser window in sequence, return to the first browser window and repeat the process. If pop-ups are a problem, try the free &lt;a target="_new" href="http://toolbar.google.com/"&gt;Google Toolbar&lt;/a&gt;. A good pop-up stopper will make your surfing a lot easier.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you come across a website that looks interesting, don’t stop surfing. If you have assigned 20 minutes for surfing, then you don’t want to break your rythym. Instead, right-click the mouse button inside the website you like the look of and select "Add to Favourites…". Create a new folder called, "Look Later" or something similar, and add the website to this folder. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You MUST use the right-click technique rather than using the menu bar. Otherwise you will bookmark the traffic exchange and not the website you are interested in.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the end of your surfing session, once a day, once a week or whenever you feel is appropriate, open the "Look Later" folder and spend as much time as you want examining the websites you selected and joining/investing in the programs that are worthwhile.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Assuming you can view all five browser windows twice a minute, that you spend 20 minutes in each surfing session and that the traffic exchange ratios average 2:1, this example would earn you 400 hits a week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you spent an hour each day surfing, this increases to 1200 hits a week. Not too shabby, especially when you start factoring in down-lines and other traffic generating programs you may use. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Final Thought&lt;/strong&gt; -- Honesty still prevails in this industry and it will continue to do so while people continue to champion the virtues of conducting business in a decent way. Cheaters may prosper, but so can the honest workers, if they are patient and don’t abandon their values. If you are a program owner and you catch a cheater, forget the two strikes, benefit of the doubt rubbish. Throw him out into the gutter where he belongs. I would rather be deleted from a program in error than make things easier for the thieves of this industry. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Dylan Campbell has been quietly making a living on the Internet since 2000.

With guerilla marketing, it is more   about out-smarting the competition than it is about out-spending the   competition.  Boundless opportunities and countless positive effects on   your business await you when you take advantage of the guerilla-  marketing concept.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guerilla Marketing is defined as unconventional marketing designed for   low budgets and maximum impact. Guerilla marketing gets you and your   company in front of future customers in the places that they frequent.    Customers today are bombarded with traditional advertising and have   become resistant and unaffected by it.  Meaning: it is time to change the   way you market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guerilla marketing works when complimentary businesses agree to   come together and take a cooperative approach to marketing their   businesses.  There are synergies between companies who serve a   similar customer base.  Identifying these synergies and getting to know   one another’s business are the first steps towards creating a lasting   guerilla marketing relationship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The possibilities are as vast as your imagination. Here are four guerilla-  marketing techniques that you can use to generate more traffic next   week:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Thank-You Take-A-Way Packets&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A thank-you take-a-way packet enhances your sale, helps validate the   customer’s purchase, and provides a valuable service to your customers   while simultaneously thanks them for being your customer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The key to the take-a-way packet is to have something that is high   quality and feels like a thank-you gift.  It should, by no means, represent   a selling piece.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The thank-you take-a-way packet will vary depending on your type of   business.  For a high-end retail location we suggest using a small folder   about the size of a half sheet of paper.  On the outside of the folder   should be an effective and professional design with the words “Thank   You.”  Inside the folder should contain all the relevant paperwork   associated with their purchase as well as all necessary information to   make sure that their after purchase experience is pleasant and well   informed.   This information should go on one side of the folder only.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other side of the folder is where you will put your pieces of value.    Pieces of value can include anything that your customer will enjoy   receiving.  Successful examples include, a free appetizer at a local   restaurant, free dry cleaning, a small book on a topic relevant to their   purchase, or a small ad-specialty item from a complimentary business.    The pieces of value will differ depending on the type of business that   you are in.  Use your imagination and have fun with it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These thank-you packets work because every company that is   represented in your packet will reciprocate by including your piece of   value in their packet.  Therefore, you are quadrupling your exposure to   customers from complimentary businesses in exchange for giving your   customers something that they perceive as a gift.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Website Co-Branding&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you have a strong guerilla partner network, you can use a similar   approach with your website.  The group of businesses can link their   websites together in a way that ‘provides value first’.  Providing value   first means that the link needs to be positioned in a way that is more   than an advertisement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good cooperative link on a website is more than just an   advertisement.  It must be something that would interest a customer.   Examples include interesting tips, suggestions, or examples of how the   customer can enhance their experience.  For example, having an   interior designer and a realtor provide design tips could add value and   augment the experience of buying a new home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Lunch and Learns&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether you are a financial planner, a realtor, or a fitness expert, you   have valuable information that people would love to hear about.  When   you provide value first and you provide value without expectation of   something in return, a return is exactly what you will get.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Office buildings love food -- especially free food.  The lunch-and-learn   program is a guerilla marketing strategy that has been proven   successful.  The lunch and learn program is an educational lunch   program for an office that would be sponsored by you or your company.    The office personnel would gather and eat lunch while listening to your   talk on something both valuable and interesting.  Do not try to sell them   anything; this should be treated as an opportunity to share valuable   information that they can use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best contact to set up these lunches is the office manager.  Most   times the office will provide the lunch and you will provide the talk.  If   they do not provide lunch, you will be able to negotiate for a local   restaurant to provide the lunch for free in exchange for some signage on   the lunch table and their information in your packet that will accompany   your presentation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topics will naturally vary depending on your profession.  If you are a   financial planner you can give a talk on “10 things you can do now to   guarantee financial security,” “investing tips for the non-investor,” or   anything else that is both creative and interesting.  After the mini   seminar, ask “If anyone would like to hear more about (topic), just drop   your business card in the basket at the front.”  You can also have a mini-  book prepared on the subject and offer to send it free to anyone who is   interested.  You will leave with an established reputation in the field as   well as a small stack of qualified leads with whom you have already   established rapport and credibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Be A Guest Columnist In A Newsletter&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are networking organization newsletters, non-profit newsletters,   and internal company newsletters.  These newsletters are always   looking for guest columnists that will provide a relevant and an   interesting article.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This technique is similar to the concept of the lunch and learns.  Seek   out these newsletters and offer to write a column.  When they run your   column, you will provide valuable and interesting information.  By doing   so you will be getting your name out into the community as an expert in   your field.  By having a brief bio at the end of the column, the readers   who have an interest will have the information necessary to contact you   for further information.  You may even direct them to your website to   download a small mini-book on the topic where you will capture their   information for proper follow up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The different types of guerilla marketing are endless and are only limited   by your imagination and willingness to get out in front of people. Guerilla   Marketing is incredibly effective because the rapport that the partner   business has already established with their customer is transferred to   you and your company.   When you successfully implement guerilla   marketing into your marketing plan, then your cost per lead will be   significantly reduced while the quality of your traffic will dramatically   increase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tom Richard conducts seminars on sales and customer service topics nationwide.

Every day I see an article or an ad talking about driving people to your website. Driving traffic to a website has become the “holy grail” on the internet. People are realizing that 'if you build it, they won't come... unless you give them a reason'. Website traffic just doesn’t happen by itself. Your website is just one of many millions on the web and people rarely just stumble upon your site by accident.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. You can buy traffic from vendors that will pummel your website with hits from automated programs. This will increase your hits but will it increase your bottom line? Probably not. You can set up blogs that spider (connect to) your website increasing your traffic count. Does this drive users to your website? Only if your blog is sointeresting that people are reading it. There are thousands of blogs posted on the internet and your blog is just a needle in the internet haystack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another trick is to create RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds for your website and subscribe to other RSS feeds. This again will increase your hit count but will do very little to drive potential customers to your website unless you’re providing valuable information. Tricks will increase your hit count but do very little todrive potential customers to your website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A better way to buy traffic for your website is by using pay-per-click with Yahoo and Google. You identify the most common keywords associated with what you’re offering and bid on those keywords. This can be a costly option if you’re bidding on popular keywords but it’s a reliable way to generate highly targeted traffic. In my next newsletter I’ll go into more detail about using pay-per-click advertising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best way to generate traffic for your website is to provide quality content that will solve your customer’s problems. People search the internet for information that will solve their problems. Write and post as many articles as you can on your website.If you don’t have time to write articles or can’t write then hire someone to write the articles for you. You can have quality articles written by freelance writers at www.elance.com for practically nothing.

Anyway, what is the best place to have your friends gather together no matter how far they are other than on MySpace. Though MySpace was really created for friends to gather up, right now it was also known for advertising businesses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And this where generating the traffic to your MySpace account comes in. To pull the traffic you wanted, check on these tips:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Create your MySpace Website in a manner that it would magnetize people to just stay on your page. A site that is organized and has a great design would attract more traffic. Make any content readable and easy to the eyes. And of course, do not forget to incorporate attention-getter and controversial contents. If your content captured the interest of the visitors, expect them to return to your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Go hopping with the sites of other members of MySpace. It is just by viewing and searching for the other members or web site of MySpace that you will be able to increase the number of friends you have. In so doing, you will also invite traffic to your web site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Do not stop inviting friends to your site. If you want traffic to your MySpace web site, keep on inviting. You can also promote your MySpace site by putting it in your email signature or your signature to some forums.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generating Traffic to your MySpace Web Site need not be so complicated. Just enjoy as your circle of friends grow and as you pull the target traffic to your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

They need to consider the positives and explore possible negatives. A product that may seem like a sure-fire hit may actually turn into a public relations problem. A prime example of this is Temporary Tattoos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s no secret that kids love temporary tattoos. They’re the “stickers” of the 2000’s. And on the face of it, temporary tattoos and kids are a perfect match. In a retail setting, give the kids a couple temporary tattoos to keep them busy and you can effectively have a conversation with the parents. At festivals and other public events, if you hand out temporary tattoos to the kids, it’s like having 100’s of little billboards running around with your logo on their forehead, cheeks and hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The downside is, most temporary tattoos require water to apply. That’s not a problem when there’s a supply of clean water handy. But when kids don’t have access to water, they use the next best thing … their spit. Therein lies the health concern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Germs and bacteria in saliva can spread all kinds of diseases from the common cold and the flu to Tuberculosis and Meningitis. While one solution is to take away the temporary tattoos … an alternative is Waterless Temporary Tattoos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because they don’t require water to apply, waterless temporary tattoos eliminate the need for kids to use their saliva when there’s no water available. That greatly reduces the spread of saliva-related germs and the mess commonly associated with applying temporary tattoos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because of their sanitary nature and ease of use, waterless tattoos are quickly finding a following within such organizations as the March of Dimes (MOD). A Michigan MOD chapter began using them for their walkathon in the fall of ’06. Word quickly spread within the organization. Currently, the MOD uses waterless temporary tattoos in 11 states.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plain and simple, promotional products such as temporary tattoos are supposed to be fun. But if you suffer a backlash because parents are upset that their kids are using their spit to apply the tattoo, then you’re not doing yourself any favors. Plastic flying disks, commonly referred to as Frisbees®, are another example. The cheap ones are made of plastic that can splinter when broken. This can lead to a harmful situation where pets and children are concerned. The more expensive flying disks are made of a more pliable plastic that will tear, but not break and splinter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best advice, before you order product to give away at a trade show or to help promote your business or event, is to obtain samples and test them out. Role play with the product and attempt to uncover the negatives. With a product such as waterless temporary tattoos, kids can have fun without the worry of spreading germs. And I can’t think of anything better than worry-free fun.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Michael Merrick Crooks is a 23-year advertising veteran, copywriter and founder of Crooks Advertising Alliance.

Let's discuss how you go about creating (or finding) and evaluating a product you can sell online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Website owners who create their own products to sell have much of work ahead of them. On-line marketers who wish to develop their own product must research the demand for what they envision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This can also be done with a very different strategy and approach. This is an approach that makes all the difference in what you do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are miles ahead of the game RIGHT NOW because you have available to you products you can work with that sell like hotcakes! With these methods I am describing, you have all the product research done before you ever begin. The choice is yours as to which product of the thousands availale you would like to have.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People today want information that can improve their income, their free-time activities, travel, education and a myriad of other areas. You now have available a huge on-line warehouse of these products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These products are managed by a company that does the lion's share of selling in this massive market. The producers of these information-based products actively seek to have people sell them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your commissions can range from 50% to 75%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, all the 'heavy lifting' has been done for you. The fun part is in choosing a product that interests you and that you feel will do the best job for you. These are the considerations I use as guidelines for product selection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choose a product that solves a problem. It is also critical that you select a product you would use. A product with a great sales letter will serve you better also. Look for testimonials from satisfied customers as well as popularity rankings of the product you are considering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, pay attention to the commission schedule provided for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buying and using the product that will be sold on your website makes for better results all around. If you have first-hand experience with how your product helped you, your customers will have more trust in what you say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A company that does all this can be found in one stop at: http://www.clickbank.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spend some time at this website so you can appreciate the products available to you for your use. At this site, you will also find rankings of all products so you can locate the best ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Becoming an affiliate is a very easy matter. Once you are set up as an affiliate, you are qualified to receive a commission on each sale you are credited for. You simply register to get a user name (also known as a nickname) established with clickbank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With that nickname you are established to get credit for all the sales of any and all products that you choose for your project. More than 10,000 products are yours from which to choose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember, commissions run as high as 75%! Clickbank is noted for its very sellable products which means they amplify your marketing efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clickbank also manages all partner relationships for you.  You always get paid what you're owed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a very reasonable price these days, you can get your own website established.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can get visitors to your site as soon as it's ready where they can learn about the product you have chosen for them to buy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Casey Moher&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:Caseymoher@comcast.net"&gt;Caseymoher@comcast.net&lt;/a&gt;   (801) 941-3334&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Moher is a Registered Pharmacist and Life-Long Marketing  and Sales Professional.

But it's important to realize that the war against spam is just that - an ongoing struggle. Spammers must change their tactics, and anti-spam software must change it's own tactics to keep up, and hopefully even stay ahead of the spammers. In any such fight it is ultimately adaptability and versatility that win out.&lt;p&gt;Let us quickly summarise how a Bayesian filter works. Rather than outright banning words, Bayesian filters assign scores to them based on how likely they are to be found in Spam Messages. The more messages that are either accepted or rejected by the user, the more accurate the Bayesian filter becomes in predicting whether any new message is a spam message or not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However Spammers aren't silly. I have tried to stress this in my articles on the subject. Annoying - yes. lacking in morals or consideration - certainly. But they aren't stupid. And as a new counter to spam comes out, so does a new avenue of attack by the spammer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bayesian filters developed from more simple filters that blocked out certain words. Take the word 'Viagra'. Because it is usually picked up by even the simplest spam filters, spammers have taken to writing it as 'v1agra', 'vi4gra' or any of a number of different variations to bypass the spam filters. Now the initial result of this is slipping past a filter that blocks only 'viagra'. The more long term result is that the word 'v1agra' gets an even higher 'spam score' from Bayesian filters than the original. After all, anyone sending you an e-mail using it is almost certainly writing it that way specifically to fool your anti-spam filters. It may slip through once or twice, but ultimately it is more of an alarm bell to see the modified version of the word than the orginal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This same rule applies to a multitude of methods of getting past filters.  In HTML messages 'Viagra' and 'V&lt;hjk&gt;ia&lt;hjk&gt;gr&lt;hjk&gt;a' will actually look the same, with the HTML simply ignoring the unrecognisable &lt;hjk&gt; tags and printing everything it sees in between them. But once again the telltale sign of a word deliberately trying to trick a filter becomes a warning bell in itself.&lt;/hjk&gt;&lt;/hjk&gt;&lt;/hjk&gt;&lt;/hjk&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A further annoying spammer trick is sometimes called 'Bayesian Posioning'. Have you ever received an e-mail that contains a paragraph or two of some strange story that makes little or no sense by itself? This sometimes confusing behaviour is actually an example of spammers fighting back against Bayesian filters. Think for a moment what you did with those messages...mark them as spam? Now think about how the Bayesian filter works. Every time you mark a message as spam it analyses the words in it and increases their 'spam score'. But with these Bayesian Posioning letters you are adding to the spam scores of words used in a perfectly normal context. These spam letters aren't meant to sell you anything, they are just meant to soften up your bayesian filters for a future spam attack. The spammers have made themselves doubly annoying. Not only are they sending out their unwanted commercial messages, but now they send out unwanted nonsense letters as well!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The above paints a pretty bleak picture. How can we fight spammers when they constantly change the tactics that they use to make our filters and defenses ineffective? Don't be downheartened. Spammers aim at the lowest common denominator. Most of the people who are overwhelmed by spammers muck have little idea what is happening or why. The mere fact you are reading this article indicates you do, and hopefully now you have a slightly better understanding of how bayesian filters work, what they can and cannot do and how Spammers attempt to defeat their usefulness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

These have generated a fair bit of interest and a good number of questions, and the most commonly asked questions focus around what I personally use to protect myself from spam. To be fair there are two ways I can answer this question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My old answer was 'knowledge'. I have made it my personal business to find out where this plague is coming from, and how we can stop spam. I even developed a website with the intention to help people fight spam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the result of my knowledge is that there are programs set up which automatically do many of the things I recommend, and the most successful one I have found is the one I advertise on my website - The SPAMWASHER. I control several domain names and on each it is critical that any email sent to me legitimately gets to me. If it's not critical there is a great option in cpanel which allows you to direct all incoming mail to a blackhole - or delete it immediately. I use this option on my stopspamnow.info site and it saves me many hours of deleting the spam attacks sites like this generate. It also saves on server load as that spam is dealt with quickly and brutally instead of redirected/bounced etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For my other domains it is important I get mail, and I need to protect myself from junk. Spamwasher was the third commercial program I tried. Maybe I had learned more by the time I got to it, or maybe it really is just as good as I think it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You have to train spamwasher - and this process takes a little while. Invest that time - because it is worth it to log into your mail and see only legitimate messages popping up. Spamwasher is aggressive, but whitelisting names speeds up the process a lot! I would say overall I spent about a week checking the messages spamwasher caught for false positives. The first two days there were quite a few, by the end of the week spamwasher had leant what I like to read and what I like to avoid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you stop spam without a program like spamwasher? I have no doubt. Does spamwasher save me hours of time doing so and was it worth every cent I spent on it? Absolutely.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So there it is. How I deal with spam in a nutshell. You should still do all the sensible things I recommend in my other articles. Don't splash your email address around the internet, delete spam messages without opening them and NEVER buy anything from a spammer. This will help, alot. But a program like spamwasher will provide the knockout blow, and you will once again be able to open your mail box in the morning and smile as you see only messages you want to read.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

Can't Spam? Exactly What Does And Doesn't The US CAN - SPAM Act Do?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;In 2003 we saw the introduction of the CAN-SPAM act which, regretably is a step in the wrong direction by the US government. This article provides my own personal opinion of why.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Firstly, let's look at what the act does do. It makes it legal to send spam, but only in a specific way. It is illegal to send spam through virus infected or compromised machines - but then use of these things is illegal anyway. Spam must be sent from a valid e-mail address, and must provide a valid opt-out method.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Essentially what this means is that spammers can send anyone they want a mail and it is up to the recipient to opt-out of receiving more. Let's apply this reasoning to other laws - I can rob you once, and if you would prefer I discontinued please send me a letter. I can rape you or kill you - please tell me if you would like me to stop and after this one time. Yes I realise I robbed you before - but that was a house burglary, this is a car burglary which you haven't yet opted out of. This sort of thinking is obviously non-sensical. If spam is to be regulated against - as it is, and if it is an infringement of peoples rights - as it is, and if you want to stop it - as we do, then why would anyone consider such a farsical law would make any difference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spam is bulk unsolicited mail, but the CAN SPAM act has attempted to redefine it as bulk unsolicited mail from a hidden address without an opt out. This represents a serious lack of understanding of exactly what the problem is. If you can send the first spam legally, who is to say whether the second spam is a follow up, or a new legal first spamming? A domain name costs a few dollars, and comes with unlimited email addresses, even if someone does opt out of a spam email they will still likely be contacted by the same spammer, from a different address. In fact, this very policy is likely to give spammers confirmed lists of people who respond to spam!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One thing the CAN SPAM act does do well is allow ISP's the right to handle spam as they see fit. This means that resources like the SPAMHAUS PBL can be used to block spam at it's base.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One final point that is often overlooked is that while the USA has attempted to legislate spam, most countries have outright banned it. This means that the same email sent to a US address and, for instance, and english address can be both legal and illegal. Spammers claiming protection under the CAN SPAM act can only do so within the USA, and can still be prosecuted offshore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

The organisation known as SPAMHAUS monitor spammers, publish information on them and supply the big ISP's with block lists of the servers that spammers are known to work out of. In conjunction with Law enforcement agencies they work out of the UK, but have representatives in 9 different countries to track serial spammers worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their ROKSO list identifies the 200 most prolific spammers, who between them are responsible for over 80% of internet spam. It's remarkable that these people can be tracked and identified, yet are still free to send out 70 million plus emails per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spamhaus maintains a list of the top 10 known spammers and a brief summary of their work.  Currently this list consists of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Yambo financials, of the Ukraine, who have a finger in every nasty online business - child porn, solfware pirating, pharmaceuticals, and banking scams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9.  Alexey Panov, or Russia, who provides spammer software, hosting and solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8.  Nikhil Kumar Prakji, of Australia, who sends massive ammounts of unsolicited mail through the Dark-Mailer spamware.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Vincent Chan, of Hong Kong, who specialises in pharmaceutical type spam and uses hijacked ghost machines to get his messages to the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Pavko, Artofit, are a gang of Russian spammers believed to include Yambo Financials and the worlds #1 spammer Alex Blood. They began with pharmaceutical spam, but have branched out into other areas and make heavy use of hijacked machines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Micahel Lindsay, of the iMedia Networks in the USA, provides hosting solutions to ROKSO spammers using offshore machines and zombies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.  Ruslan Ibragimov, of Russia, who developed stealth spamware and uses zombies and virus infected machines to do his spamming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.  Amichai Inbar, of Israel, who sam porn, drugs and pump and dump stocks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Leo Kuvayev, of Russia, who specialises in (pirated) OEM CD's as well as dabbling in the traditionals of porm, pharmaceuticals and other softwares.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Alex Blood, of the Ukraine, who is known by several other aliases including Alexander Mosh, AlexseyB and Alex Polyakov. Spamhaus describes his activities as consisting of &lt;i&gt;Massive botnet and child-porn spam ring, also pharma, mortgage, and more. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bringing together experts from different countries, and working collectively is the best chance of completely defeating spam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

It is a common practice which both bred it's own industry and saw the rise of internet giant google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first search engines were very simple affairs which simply looked for pages with a targeted keyword and listed results based on simple algorithms. Once people started investigating the results generated by these search engines it became a relatively simple process of developing webpages designed specifically to exploit weaknesses in them. In the Mid 1990's this was a common practice and as a result even now we see pages which have spammed keywords all through them in an attempt to out rank the opposition. If a page wanted to be indexed under specific search terms they would frequently display these terms in the same color as the background - making them visible to search engine spiders, but not to real surfers. This practice was common in gateway pages which showed up highly ranked in search engines, but had no purpose but to flow traffic to another page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's amazing to think that Google only started in 1997, and in ten years have come to dominate nearly every corner of the internet. This domination was achieved largely through a search engine designed to see through these simple spamdexing tricks, and deliver the results people wanted to see. When they started the search engine market was dominated by MSN and YAHOO, both who have been playing catchup ever since the more advanced Google algorithms granted them a massive share of the search engine market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spamdexing still exists in a variety of forms, but is less effective because of the importance search engines now place on delivering real relevancy. The whole search engine optimization industry has built up on the premise that it is possible to manipulate results in major search engine through a variety of factors. The kings amongst these factors are contents and links, with it being generally accepted that the more of both the better, provided the quality is good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The negative side effect of this increased in search engine efficiency is that many websites are now built with the objective of gaining Search Engine Rankings, rather than usability or usefulness. This means email is not the only spam we sometimes have to deal with, but we may need to wade through several webpages before we find "the one we meant to get".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

Basically it is an open internet diary or comment book that allows anyone to have their rant, be heard on important issues, update people on events or services or just record the tedious details of their day. People were doing this quite happily for many years, until, like many things on the internet, it became a buzz-word. Pretty soon everyone needed a blog, and those of us who had been blogging for years had to rename our rants and records to blogs so people knew what they were.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then someone figured with all these people wanting to be heard there must be some money to be made, and companies used blogs as ways of drawing customers back to their sites and selling them over and over. And around about that point things started to get spammy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Software popped up to automatically create blogs, to update blogs, to draw content from one blog to another site and just about everything else to do with blogs. One of the popular drawcards of blogs is the dialogue created as people respond to the bloggers comments, but spammers quickly realized that this was a way to get their links on highly rated pages, and blogs became another form of spamdexing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spamdexing is the use of artificial methods to inflate the search engine rankings of a website. One of the current trends in the spamdexing world is cross linking in it's various forms. By allowing comments on a blog site, the blogger was also offering free advertising space to spammers. Not surprisingly the spammers jumped at this opportunity and the bloggers found their comments bombarded with automatically posted, irrelevant spam replies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luckily spam in this form is much easier to combat than email spam. Bloggers required accounts for comments, or added a simple security question that must be answered to participate, or a variety of other simple additions that were difficult to automate, or easy to detect automated attempts. The cost was the ease and user friendliness of blogs, and people must now accept the slight inconvenience as the price to be paid to allow free discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

All the spam coming into these domain names becomes my personal responsibility, and I learned early on that the default cpanel spam filters generate more than their share of false positives. Prior to getting spamwasher to guard my e-mail I had to manually create filters in outlook to deal with the majority of spam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the number of these filters grew I realized I needed a more serious weapon to fight with spam, but if you aren't quite ready to shell out money just yet, or if you'd prefer combat spam with the resources already at your disposal, then the important thing to do is create filters that catch spam, AND ONLY spam. Here' are some of the best ones I used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; Apply this rule after the message arrives Where the Subject line contains 'SPAM' or 'failure notice' or 'delivery failed' or 'undeliverable' or '(Failure)' or 'Undelivered Mail' or 'Returned Mail: see transcript' Delete it &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This one was added after I went through an incredible phase of having mail getting bounced back to me. The spammer theory here is a returned message will automatically break through most spam filters, so they send messages to dead addresses using your email address as the reply-to address. When the mail server bounces the message it comes straight through your filters and back to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;  Apply this rule after the message arrives - where the From line contains '@olympic.webitdomainz.com' delete it &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This one is fairly specific to me, but is interesting to anyone who uses form-mail. My first attempt at allowing people to contact me directly from the webpage resulted in a mass of spam from spammers exploiting sendmail flaws. Basically they would send spam automatically through my webmail form. As they never filled in a mail address it would appear to come from my old host(incidently if you are thinking of hosting with these guys - DON'T).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Apply this rule after the message arrives -   where the Subject line contains 'STOPSPAMNOW' move it to the STOPSPAMNOW folder &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wasn't sure whether or not to add this one as it does give spammers a little window to attack me with. However it is a good example of how to 'whitelist' a message. You can use a word like 'STOPSPAMNOW' to pick up the STOPSPAMNOW newsletter, you can whitelist based on the senders email address or you can use a combination of both, which is preferable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hopefully these few short tips will help you in setting up effective anti spam filters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

It turns out this is not so, the fear of making adjustment to the default settings getting the better of quite a majority of the population, or else just never having the time or inclination to get in and figure it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luckily it is quite an easy process, and even the most computer-ese challenged amongst us can get it done easily once we understand how to it works. In this little how-to I am going to give an example how to set up a filter using Outlook Express, purely on the basis that this is the program open on my desktop as I type this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are two parts to a filter - a condition, and an action. The condition defines the set of circumstances that will trigger the action. The action is of course what happens when the circumstances described in the condition are true.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The example I will use here is to delete messages with [SPAM] in the title. My ISP once went through a rather silly phase of not deleting spam - but marking it in the header and leaving the deletions to us. It seems they too had made an assumption that all their customers could set up a filter to handle the hundreds of [SPAM] marked messages they suddenly started receiving. They were quickly put right but overloaded switchboards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So we are going to create a simple filter in Outlook Express that deletes everything with [SPAM] in the title.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1:  Click on the menu Item Tools.  Point at Message Rules and select(click on) mail...&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;i&gt;A small new window will open with the heading Message Rules and three tabs.  The Mail... tab will be selected.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2:  Click on the New... button.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  Another new window opens with the titlebar New Mail Rule.  There are 4 boxes to fill in.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3:  In the first white box Click in the square beside "Where the Subject line contains specific word".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  A tick will appear in the box.  You will notice the 3rd box gets some more writing in it, we will deal with that soon.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4:  In the second white box click in the square next to Delete It.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;i&gt;A tick will appear in the box. The text in the third white box will now read: Apply this rule after the message arrives, Where the Subject line contains specific words, Delete it. The words 'contains specific words will be blue and underlined.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5:  In the third white box click on the blue underlined words 'contains specific words'.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;i&gt;A new window will open with the title bar Type Specific Words.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6:  In the first box in this window type [SPAM].  Click Add.  Click Okay.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;i&gt;You will be returned to the previous window. The third box will now contain the text: Apply this rule after the message arrives Where the Subject line contains '[SPAM]' Delete it &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 7:  In the fourth Box type a userfriendly name for your spam filter.  I use "Delete [SPAM] rule".  Click the OK button.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  After clicking okay you are taken back to the message rules window.  Click OK here and your filter is added.  Well Done.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As far as I am aware there is no limit to the number of filters you can apply. The important thing to remember is that the filter doesn't discriminate.

This allows the marketer to send out special offers to a targeted list who they know is interested in their product. The benefits of this are obvious, they are more likely to get sales from people who have requested information from them, and they are less likely to get complaints about the commercial nature of their mailing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maintaining a list can be a time consuming job, as it does come with a certain ammount of responsibility. The members have trusted the marketer with their e-mail address, and have done so under the assumption that they will not recieve irrelevant mailings, and that their address will never be sold on to other marketers(or flat out spammers).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I recently received a message from a marketer who did almost everything wrong. I promptly emailed him pointing out his errors, unsure if I would come across as helpful or pompous. Evidently it was helpful as I received an apology email and a free product(e-book) from him. Here's a quick rundown of what he did wrong:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. I never opted in to receive e-mail from him. His first message was a marketing message. As such I could rightly call it spam, and probably would have done had I not recognised the e-mail address. To be honest I was surprised it got through gmail's filters (Had I bought his product with my primary email I doubt it would have got through the SpamWasher filters I use with Outlook Express). A more professional approach would have been to send out an opt in email once I had bought his product (he received my email address after I made a purchase) and only THEN add me to his opt-in list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. The subject "Special Offer" was very generic. Infact, the two words are amongst the most likely there are of being picked up by a Bayesian Filter as Spam. I always encourage people with mailing lists to use a special identifier in their subject line. My own mailing list uses [STOPSPAMNOW]. This identifies the message immediately to the recipient, identifying it as coming from you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. The worst error was that the marketer had put all his addresses in the to: field. AGGGHHH!!!! Especially considering the nature of the product this is a disaster! Every person who has bought his product from him now has access to my email address. That's a bit scary for me. Never, never NEVER give out your e-mail list to ANYONE. And this is exactly what this marketer did, albeit unintentionally. Any member of that list now knows exactly how many sales he has made and to whom. They can steal the list and use it for their own promotions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I sincerely hope to those of you who legitimately mail opt-in lists, that none of these errors will hamper your marketing efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

The report doesn't really contain any major surprises to me, although it does confirm what I have been seeing in my own studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The overall amount of spam made up 70% of all email messages, which is lower than several other sources estimate, but it must be remembered that Symantec takes samples from their own sources and spam may have already been filtered (at the network level) prior to entering this sample data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big talking point of the report is that Pornographic spam now makes up only 3% of all spam monitored by Symantec. This is the lowest percentage makeup ever recorded. Clearly - pornography isn't selling for spammers the same as other products. Perhaps everyone who needs enlarging has got it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The increase in the amount of spam that uses images continues. As bayesian filters catch more and more text based spam, the spammers have changed their method of attack to sending pictures of words. This allows them to use randomised text to beat the Bayesian filters, but once opened the text is overlapped with an image sending the spammers true message. This is not a new tactic, but it has evolved slightly with the increasingly predominant practice of slanting or distorting the writing on these pictures. This is aimed at defeating OCR(Text recognition) software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The final trend of note in the Symantec report is that non-english speakers are being targeted more than in the past, particularly by casino based spam. French, German and Italian language casino spam has sen a dramatic rise, and picture based spam targets all languages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a personal note I have seen an increase in this localisation of spam. I have received no inappropriate language based spam, but I have noted that the distribution of spam to me .com vs my .co.nz email addresses has shifted. I suspect that spammers are hitting localised email addresses with localised content, which is undoubtedly where the increase in language specific spam originates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

The most effective method is he use of a spam blocker, a program designed specifically to filter spam out before it reaches your inbox.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spam Blockers will usually work with a combination of blacklists, whitelists and bayesian(pronounced Bayes- i - an) filters. The Black List automatically classifies anything from a given email address(or domain) as Spam. The Whitelist automatically classifies anything from a given email address as NOT SPAM. The Bayesian Filter looks at everything left over after the blacklists and the whitelists have been applied and sorts it, based on what you historically label spam. This sort of technology is extremely efficient at filtering spam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spam Blockers, like most everything else on the Internet come in both paid and free versions, and the quality ranges from excellent to...well, let's just say I am aware of at least two free spam blockers which actually add to the problem. Spammers can be quite determined in thier efforts to get spam through. It is a common spammer tactic to put up a website with a 'remove from spam' list, which people innocently sign up thier email address to. They have of course just signed up to the spammers list and will be bombarded with spam. A more recent tactic goes a step further, offering free anti-spam software. In one case this software was merely ineffective and let all the spammers spam through, in another it actually infected the target machine with a program that let spam through, and used the targets machine as a zombie for sending spam from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When dealing with the internet, due diligence is essential. If you want to use a free spam blocker, be sure that you do your research on it first. Just type it's name into google and see what people are saying. You should do this with paid spam blockers too, though they are less likely to be infected, the thought of paying someone to infect my computer disgusts me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The one anti-spam product I have had a lot of success with, and would happily endorse, is the the one I advertise on my website - SpamWasher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

Someone had sent the email to me when they meant to send it to someone who's address was similar. A typo? As spam became more prevalent, the initial thought that someone had got my address and was sending ME messages was hard to get rid of. Somewhere out there there was a person sitting behind a desk, sifting through email lists and deciding what spam to send me today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spammers, as I have indicated in several previous articles, are not silly people. Doing what they do, on the scale they do it, takes a degree of competence and expertise well above the average internet user. And the truth is that even if all the spammers in the world had a change of conscience tomorrow and laid down thier spam-pens, never sending another message, that spam would continue to flow around the world for some time to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The problem is zombies. A zombie is a regular internet user who's machine has become infected with a trojan that sets up a SMTP application and sends out spam. There are two basic zombie patterns - the zombie forwards mail sent to them by a spammer, or the zombie comes preprogrammed with a spam message and mailing list. In either case the zombie surfer will usually have no idea that they are sending our spam&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spam zombies are usually created from downloading 'free stuff' from the internet and in particular peer-to-peer software. Spammers also spread the trojans with thier spam itself, and some email clients make this easy by activating scripts within messages. In instances where security settings are low the trojans can be picked up by merely visiting the wrong webpage and allowing certain javascript codes to run.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To avoid becoming a zombie:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.  Always scan anything you download from the internet, and only download from trusted sources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.  Keep your internet security settings high.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.  Ensure your machine has all the latest updates installed at any point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.  Regularly scan with an anti-virus AND an anti-Adware program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Employ a quality spam blocker(Such as SpamWasher, avaliable on my site) to protect yourself against viruses transmitted by spam mail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is enough spam in the world as it is without your machine turning into a zombie and adding to the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

Unfortunately, such addresses are easily harvested by spam robots, who's task is simply to trawl the internet looking for 'naked' or poorly concealed email addresses and adding them to the spammers lists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traditional tricks to combat this included replacing the '@' with an 'at', hiding the email address amongst meaningless HTML like t&lt;hkjsdak&gt;h&lt;sjdls&gt;i&lt;sjdsla&gt;s&lt;sdasdddsaas&gt; so it would display on the page but be all but unreadable in the code, or replacing the periods with the word 'dot'. The first and third tricks are also used by spammers to hide web addresses from filters in their e-mails, and the second trick is actually learned from spammers who want to hide words marked heavily by Bayesian filters. In the eternal battle between spammers and the good guys, these types of tactics are continually developed and then integrated into spammers robots and while they still offer some protection, it only makes it slightly harder for spammers to get your address, not impossible.&lt;/sdasdddsaas&gt;&lt;/sjdsla&gt;&lt;/sjdls&gt;&lt;/hkjsdak&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are however alternatives, enabling you to offer good customer service without opening yourselves up to massive spamming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Use Live Support - A live support module is appreciated by users because they can get an answer right on the spot. If you can afford the staff to man it then it is well worth it for this reason alone. The anti-spam implications are also clear, as the robot needs it's own built in spammer to annoy the support staff, and while these do exist, they are practically unused because they simply don't offer a good return.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Use a lead in question before supplying an address. This is a simple tactic using good ASP or PHP programming which asks the user a simple question - such as who they want to contact or what they need help with and then follows up with either a mail form, a faq, a contact address or a combination of these things. When well programmed the spammer needs to make custom code in their robot to get past it - in other words it is more trouble than getting the email address manually.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Use an image - or better yet a series of images. Software that recognises images does exist and is used, but again it is nowhere near as prevalent as software that reads text and generally is more trouble than it is worth for a spammer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Use a telephone number. One thing people like is actually knowing that a person is dealing with their enquiry. There is still no better way of doing this than offering telephone support. Toll free numbers are best, but even VoIP calling or a regular number will work as a means of contact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regardless of the method you use to offer your customer support, the most important thing to remember is that your customer wants a response and wants to know their problem is being worked on. It's possible to design a very elaborate system to stop spammers getting through to you, but if you stop your customers getting through to you then you've rather defeated the purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an estimated 70-90 billion spam messages sent every day, the problem is not going away.

For sake of time and clarity let us zero in on the most relevant 3 methods that are efficient and relevant to the contextual trends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A) Article marketing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article marketing seems to be the trend of the hour for traffic generation since it has proven to be one of the wisest and trend compliant methods that can generate traffic and most importantly with little or no monetary expense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is also a give and take approach or a win-win situation where you are giving something for the visitor and by virtue of the same you are entitled to use the traffic for your ends. Traffic generation through article marketing is pretty cheap and has great potential in this context of online pro-activism where web masters and visitors interact and contribute their share of content. But article marketing has with it some vulnerabilities that should be addressed before utilizing it. There needs to be clear and informative content in your articles and people should not feel that the information that they get from this article is out dated or impractical, also you must make use of some SEO strategies if you are to effectively extract the full potential of an article for traffic generation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;B) Blogs and RSS feeds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blogs and RSS feeds can be written and hosted online for the purpose of article generation and the main advantage of this is that you can interact with people on an individual basis and blogs have been proven to be more emotionally appealing to the reader than any other method for traffic generation. You can very well turn a blog into a map to your site but it needs to be constantly updated and readers must feel that you are serious, otherwise you might not get a serious following. RSS feeds have taken blogs to another dimension delivering readers information with the latest updates at their disposal. But it is your responsibility to have them include your RSS feed and to make readers come to your blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C) Pay-per click advertising&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pay per click advertising is a major but relatively expensive method for traffic generation. In pay per click advertising you pay for displaying your site's name along with a brief description when a user types a term into a search engine tat is relevant to the content of your site. The technicalities that involves in pay per click are to be understood before you use it and a good grasp of keywords and how pay per click can be used for traffic generation is crucial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traffic generation is becoming more and more complex and time consuming. It also demands a lot of hard work and research without which your site will end up being unnoticed even if it has high quality and relevant content. You must before opting for any of the above methods be aware of the changing trends of traffic building and optimization. Try to utilize the potential of latest trends like user generated content and social networking and you can be sure to be in the receiving end of targeted traffic and you can also master the art of traffic generation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

There are several types of traffic generation techniques available today that were not commonly available to us even four or five years ago. Remember all the fireworks at the change of the millennium? That was seven years ago, and a lot has changed in internet marketing in that time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of these is the upsurge in article marketing. This is probably the most productive traffic generation technique around today, and it is a lot easier than sending individual emails to webmasters requesting individual adverts that we had to do in the old days. The old days being about six years ago!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article marketing offers you two different ways to generate traffic: through organic traffic via a keyword search on search engines, and through direct clicks to your web site from your article. The organic traffic comes from the fact the major search engines regard links from one website back to yours as being an important indication of the relevance of your site to the topic that the search engine customers are looking for. The way you create these one way back links is through submitting your articles to the article directories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every article that is accepted by a directory provides you with a link back from that directory site. If you submit your article to a large number of directories, and are accepted by them (that is up to your writing ability), then you receive a large number of one way links to your web site. This improves your listing in the search engine results for your keyword, and so generates traffic&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

In these you design you adverts to fit to a template provided then choose keywords to use for the purpose of attracting visitors. You decide how much you want to pay for every click on the keyword of your choice, and what you are willing to pay determines where your advert appears on Yahoo or Google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is not just those two that operate PPC systems, but they are the largest by far. If you are willing to pay enough for each click, then you can get your web site advertised on the first page of the search engine concerned. For page one on Google, for example, you could pay $2 for each click or only 10c, depending on the product and keyword you use to advertise it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The beauty of PPC techniques is that you can lead very targeted visitors to your sales page, but after that it is up to you what you do with them. Having paid a sum of money to get a visitor, you must not lose them. You must provide a compelling reason for them to sign your opt-in form and so join your list. If you fail to do this, then PPC is probably going to lose you money. However, if you succeed, than you have a traffic generation technique that is going to provide you a lot of people in your list that are targeted to the product that you are selling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These three traffic generation techniques are those that are used most to attract visitors to your web site. However, it is entirely up to you what you do with them when you get there…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

Use a signature for all of your emails and forum posts that includes your web site URL. This is commonly called a ‘sig’. Register for forums relevant to your niche or web site subject, and use your sig in every post. Use it also in every email you send. In this way your web site will get a lot of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Opt-In Forms&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, by no means last, but the last of the five, this is not strictly a means of gaining traffic, but a way of maintaining it. It can be argued that keeping the traffic you get is, in effect, a means of increasing your annual traffic flow. Whether you agree or not, if you fail to include an opt-in form on your website you will lose a great deal of potential traffic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What an opt-in form does is to provide you with a list of first names and email addresses of everybody who visited your web site and filled in the form. In order to seduce them to do so you will have to offer them something. This is usually a newsletter offering news and information on a regular basis about your niche, or even a course over a number of emailings. The important thing is to get that email address.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can mail them on a regular basis making them special offers on your products, or introducing the latest software that could help their business. This not only maintains the traffic you have, but also can increase it if you persuade your customers to recommend your site to others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traffic building is not easy, but can be made easier if you follow these five simple tips on how to increase traffic to your website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

No traffic, no leads, no sales. Lots of traffic, lots of leads, more sales. So it all boils down to traffic generation techniques.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a few basic traffic generation activities that you must do.  These include the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Search Engine Optimization. Do it. Even if you have to pay for it. In the long run your cheapest leads or sales are going to be those that came from organic searches via search engines. Make sure you’re listed in Google, MSN, Yahoo! and the open directory project (wwwdotdmozdotorg) and make sure you show up higher rather than lower.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Online advertising. Pay-per-click advertising is probably the next most affordable way to get traffic. Affordable because, generally, you can limit the amount of exposures that get made to something you can afford. Consider programs like Google’s AdWords, or banner ads of one sort or the other.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email Marketing.  Create a list. Mail it and provide offers or incentives that drive people to your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conventional Advertising. Use conventional advertising where appropriate. Magazine ads are a good medium with a long shelf-life (by comparison to an email.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Collateral Inclusion. Be sure to put your web address on everything that you do business with. It’s all called collateral – stationery, brochures, invoices, business cards, etc. Put your web address on your building sign or on your front door!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traffic generation is really quite simple. Make a checklist and decide, for each of the categories above exactly how you’ll utilize that method for traffic generation. Check it regularly and make sure you cover all the bases!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

Besides the monetization and profit function, no matter how effective your Web site is in converting visitors toward producing profits given a certain number of visitors, without Web site traffic, you don't really have much of a business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bottom line is, without Web site traffic generation, you are basically dead in the water. You simply have to have traffic, you have to have qualified traffic, and that basically means that traffic has to want to be at your website. When they get there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what are my favorite Web site traffic generation techniques?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. My highest favorite Web site traffic generation technique is that of article marketing. Article marketing is the process of writing articles, including links back to your website, and sending them to the various online directories for articles. This is my highest profit producing Web site traffic generation technique.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. My second highest favorite website traffic generation technique is that of joint ventures. Joint ventures involve joining up with other Internet marketers and cross promoting products, squeeze pages, landing pages, e-mail opt in lists, etc.. With joint ventures, you have access to other Internet marketers' very best subscribers and buyers. Keep in mind, they will also have access to your best subscribers and buyers, so be very careful with whom you do joint ventures. However joint ventures can be extremely profitable for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. My third highest favorite website traffic generation technique is that of pay per click. I can honestly say this, I am still in the process of learning how to monetize pay per click traffic however. I have begun the initial testing and tweaking phases of learning to monetize pay per click traffic. What I have accomplished is driving large volumes of traffic using pay per click. What I have not accomplished is monetizing that traffic effectively. I must warn you before I leave this article, if you choose to use or try pay per click, you must recognize that there is a mandatory testing and tweaking phase at the beginning, there is no way around it, and can be very expensive -- do not begin using pay per click if you do not have at least $2000 to spend in the initial testing and tweaking phase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

Unfortunately, web design is the easy part. Generating good web traffic is the single most difficult aspect of managing a website. Getting your website noticed amidst the billions of other sites is a very challenging endeavour.Below listed are considerations that influence web traffic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Search Engine Optimisation &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Search engine remains a very important source of web traffic. Tons of people use the search engines to look for links to the information that they want. Therefore a reasonable ranking on the search engine is very important. Search engines rank site according to relevant link popularity and good site content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Link popularity is also known as link building or link exchanging. It refers to the number of relevant links that link to your site and its pages. Therefore getting as many relevant link to the site pages as possible is crucial for page ranking. There are 2 main kinds of links:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. one-way links. These are links to your website from sites which do not receive any link from your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. reciprocal links. These are links to your website from sites which receive a link from your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, one-way links are more valuable in terms of page rank than reciprocal links.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Search engines are always on the look out for good and informative site content. Therefore they tend to rank website with good and original contents favorably. Additonally, the individual pages on the site should ideally have a strong and focussed theme that is backed by a good number of relevant keyword/s. Of course, websites are meant for human readers, thus contents beside fulfilling search engine needs, must also be useful to the readers. There are therefore huge advantages in being knowledgeable in the field that the website is about. For example, if you are well versed in golf, your website about Golfing will most likely be attractive and useful to the reader who wants to know more about golf.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other ways of informing others about your site and its services includes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Banner &lt;/b&gt;  A banner is a graphic link from someone else website to yours. They can be in the form of images or animations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pay per click advertising &lt;/b&gt; Pay per click advertising is a method of paying for advertising on the Internet search engines.

Now a days Squidoo is turning out to be an important tool for Internet marketing and important means of creating traffic online. Squidoo is a website that permits the users to make mini websites which are called the ‘lens’. This lens permits you to post business information, links, pictures, biographies, guest book entries and a lot more. The thought at the back Squidoo was that each person’s lens would present a view of any topic that interested him or her. That it would then have that person's links to associated websites, RSS feeds, blogs, eBay, etc. Anybody searching for similar information would at that time utilize such a lens as an initial point for his or her own searches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Squidoo is indexed constantly by most of the top rated search engines. Therefore it is turning out to be a great means to driving traffic to your web site as this gives you an opportunity to put a link to your web site or your blog on the lens. It is quite easy to set up a Squidoo lens. The first thing to create a lens is to choose a lens name. The lens name that you choose becomes the title of your page. After choosing a lens name, you have to choose the name for your page, which is exactly similar to choosing a domain name. The name of the page plays important role in deciding the traffic to your web site. It plays an important role in targeting your prospective consumers. Then you will have to choose the content of your page. If you have a related blog that you update on regular basis then you can add an RSS feed from it your lens on the Squidoo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Squidoo lenses are an excellent resource for back links to your company web site or blog. If used efficiently, they can become priceless advertising tools for your business. In order to drive traffic to your web site you are supposed to focus on what people are searching. Squidoo can serve an excellent way to putting some in content links and information about the services and products that your company deals in. The content should be key word rich to target the right prospective clients. You can also use the option ‘about you’ provided on Squidoo as a tool to market your products and services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Squidoo is capable of increasing traffic to your web site because of the fact that it is considered to be an Authority site. Authority sites are web sites that are considered an authority on a particular subject and have plenty of links to them. For example BBC is an authority site for news. When you obtain a link from an authority site it is believed to be more important than a link from a non-authority site. The search engines consider the links on Squidoo as links on an Authority site. The link to your web site will be considered as a quality link and thus drive traffic to your web site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Do you want to learn more about how I do it?

You can spend days producing the perfect design, weeks tweaking the copy, and months writing the code and uploading the pages, but if no one knows where you are, how are they going to know they should buy from you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I first started selling on the Web, the first major problem I ran into was bringing customers to my door. I put banner ads on other sites, organized reciprocal links and joined Web rings. Those methods all worked to some extent, but what really did it for me, what turned my business from a small earner into a major money-grabber, was figuring out how to use search engines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sure, I’d submitted my sites to the major search engines as soon as I’d finished building them, but I didn’t really pay them much attention. After all, I figured search engines are just for people who are looking for information; they’re not really good for commercial sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boy, was I wrong!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One day, I sat down and checked out which sites were popping up first in the categories that suited my businesses. I found that all the top-ranked sites were my biggest competitors. And when I say biggest, I mean these guys were in a whole other league. They had incomes that were ten or twenty times the size of mine—no wonder they had top billing at Yahoo! and Google! And then it clicked. Search engines don’t list sites by size, they list them by relevance. These sites weren’t listed first because they were big; they were big because they were listed first!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That was when I began to ‘optimize’ my pages and think about meta-tags and keywords. As my sites rose through the listings, my traffic went through the roof. And not just any old traffic! The people that came to my sites from search engines hadn’t just clicked on a banner by accident or followed a link from curiosity, they’d actually been looking for a site like mine. My sales ratio went up like a rocket. I’d created my own big break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Tim Yu is the owner of &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.online2biz.com/"&gt;http://www.Online2Biz.com&lt;/a&gt; providing information on Creating Your Own Business Online.

Everyone wants success, the large pay days, and the   status of super affiliate, unfortunately only a small  percentage ever fulfil this dream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Affiliate marketing is often touted as one of the easiest  and most effective ways to earn money on-line, but not  unlike everything else on the internet this is not as easy   as it sounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To achieve success you are required to plan each phase of  your campaign, and take the necessary steps to action and  execute your plan in such away as to maximise it's earnings  potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Affiliate marketing is no different than any other job in   respect of having the right tools or resources is paramount  to aiding success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although more than three key tools or resources may exist,   the following represent the most important to achieving   success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first and most Important resource is Your Own Website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although it is possible to conduct affiliate marketing  without the need of a website, you are doing so without any  consideration of building credibility or utilising that  visitor for future promotions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So in most affiliate marketing circles a website of your own   is now seen as the most important resource in affiliate   marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So the first step should be building your own website. You  just don't want this to be any website, you want a credible  and professional looking website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your website is the starting point of all that follows in  your marketing efforts. Therefore, your website must be a   user-friendly website, and one that offers appeal to your   visitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember the whole purpose of your site is to persuade   the visitor to click on the links to the products and service   you are promoting and make a purchase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, it is paramount that you achieve this in   providing a site which will meet with your visitors approval&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what should we consider, well the first thing is that   almost all web users go on-line to look for information. The   fact that they are looking for information should not  necessarily be mistaken for the fact that they are ready to   purchase something.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your website needs to be full of original,interesting and   useful content. You need to engage your visitors interest,   by providing articles that prove to be helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing as changed content is still king and this should not  be forgotten,good quality content will not only build your  credibility and authority,but also assist with matters of  search engine ranking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good quality and useful articles establish you as a expert in  your field and with this increased trust in your product  recommendations.Establishing a good reputation is a good   step in building up a loyal consumer base.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second key are is that of providing Incentives&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Competition is massive on-line and you must endeavour to  keep one step ahead of your rivals. It is important that you  capture a sizeable share of your target market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, you must use every possible means at you   disposal to encourage your visitors to click on the links which   take them to offers you are promoting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A key strategy in your marketing should be to build an  opt-in email list, this remains one of the best ways to gather   prospects. So how do you go about doing this, well you can  Offer a newsletter,e-zine, reports or Free software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ensure that any incentives have real value to your visitor  and are of a quality that will entice your visitor to sign  up to your newsletter, ezine or whatever your offer is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The third component is of course traffic to your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without traffic you have no visitors and consequently no  way of generating commissions from your promoted products,   so the importance of driving highly targeted traffic to your   website cannot be emphasized enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attracting visitors to your site should be a key priority that  needs to be carried out. There are a number of ways that you   can achieve this goal, one of which is through your search   engine ranking, and one of the factors which can influence this  is link popularity. To enhance your link popularity you must  launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to do this, and the best part it's free  is by writing and submitting articles to article directories,   ezines, with your website's link contained within the resource   box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It goes without saying that the more sites you submit your   articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make sure that  your articles are original,of good quality and are relevant and  useful so that more and more websites will pick up your   articles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are only three of the many things that an affiliate   marketer can use to maximize earning potential. You need to  be creative and continually looking to test new ideas and   strategies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The one thing you need is focus, determination and tenacity to  succeed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope that this will prove useful in assisting you with your  affiliate marketing business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Are you interested in Affiliate Marketing and finding the best affiliate program.If the answer is yes, I would like to invite you to visit:&lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.internet-marketing-4u.com/indexacs.html"&gt;http://www.internet-marketing-4u.com/indexacs.html&lt;/a&gt; where you can receive a Free Report which will provide you with further insight into this area.

Since these programmes get funding from many other organisations, they will offer to pay users. The number of users will build up because people are interested to earn some cash out from the programme. So when the popularity of the programme rises, more organisations will be keen to tap into this programme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Why are these get-paid-to programmes so popular?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This boils down to a couple of reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Referral system for these programmes will generate more member registration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Simple task for small amount of money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Most are FREE. No maintenance cost, whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Why you should join these programmes?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The primary reason why you should join these programmes is that you can earn money. Well, the more important one would be that you are earning money while being informed of latest products/services of your interest, business opportunities, discounts and offers.

If you don’t know affiliates marketing it’s a system were you get a commission of the sales price. With clickbank it can be as high as 75%. As an affiliate you don’t have to pay to signup. So if you wish you can even start today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Affiliate marketer is profitable&lt;/b&gt; for the affiliate and the publisher as well. As an affiliate you don’t have to take time to spend time creating your own product. As a publisher you can get free sales without doing nothing. The affiliates are doing the job for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m an affiliate myself and I would like to point out some great futures about clickbank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- They send you cheques every 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt; - Helpful is the tracking tool so you know what campaigns deliver sales.&lt;br /&gt; -  Thousands and thousand products to chose for. I have several sites and for almost every&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;niche you can find a product on clickbank. Marketing, law, dating , gambling , investing ,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sport and so much more. Name it and you will find a product there.&lt;br /&gt; - The payout is really high. It depends on the product but it’s always between 25% and 100%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take this as a tip from me only promote products with a sales percentage of 50% or higher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;How do you get products to promote?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best way to find product related to your site is too go the marketplace. You can browse the items or just type in a search to find products related to your niche. Very important click on the create hoplink if you do that you will see a unique code that contains your affiliate link&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I see some stat, what do they mean? $/sale: This is how much you will get on average if you promote this product. Refund are deducted here. %/sale: How much you get if you promote this clickbank product. Between 25% - 75% %ref/d. How much sales came from referrals. From my own experience I can tell if they have a very low referral percentage it’s not such a good idea to promote it. Grav(ity): This is the popularity of a certain clickbank product. Don’t try to promote products with a very high gravity products with gravity between 25 and 70 is your best bet. If you have more experiences you can promote higher related products as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most important thing: The sales page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I said before you don’t have to contact the potential customers. You can do that if you have more experience with affiliate marketing but as a starter it’s not necessary. Now visit the sales page of the affiliate and ask yourself have they a few important key elements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Impressive headline.&lt;br /&gt;  - Testimonials&lt;br /&gt; - A call to action&lt;br /&gt; - Comfortable price (to low and you won’t see much money, to high and you won’t see much sales)&lt;br /&gt; - Proper spelling and grammar.&lt;br /&gt; - Do they promote more then one product? (If the answer is yes don’t promote it).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Normally most of the authors who submit their products trough internet know to market it.  If you see a sales page with an impressive red headline then you can say this is someone who knows how to write so promote it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I hope with reading these articles you got a good idea what clickbank is and how it can make money from you. However the only way to make money is working hard, testing and improving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Frederik makes money as an affiliate.&lt;br /&gt;On his blog he gives advice on his readers how to start making money online.&lt;br /&gt;He write articles about traffic , affiliate marketing , online investing , google adsense and google adwords.&lt;br /&gt;If you want to learn more about it, i recommend you to visit his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://highyieldinvestor.blogspot.com/search/label/affiliate%20marketing"&gt; Visit his blog now and pick up a lot of tips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Frederik_Deglande"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Frederik_Deglande&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8413149986398572418-1887236697177738485?l=firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/feeds/1887236697177738485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8413149986398572418&amp;postID=1887236697177738485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/1887236697177738485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/1887236697177738485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/2007/04/clickbank-basic-introduction-to.html' title='Clickbank Basic Introduction To Clickbank'/><author><name>firstonlinedollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15289916898009288466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413149986398572418.post-7934893294310594072</id><published>2007-04-19T12:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-19T12:13:26.100-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ideas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>The Power Of Blogging May Be The Secret To Your Success</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;If your new to the Internet Marketing business and unsure of where to start, then creating blogs may be the ticket to your success online.

There are so many ways to earn an online income and so much false misleading information out there; it can take months or even years to sift through all the garbage to find the gold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big question I believe a newbie needs to stop and ask to themselves is, “What is one of the best ways to earn an online income without having to spend money?” There are so many courses out there that claim to tell you the secret to earning money online. Of course they’re not going to give the secret away for free. They want you to pay the huge membership fee or fork out money for the overpriced eBook. The unfortunate truth is most of the secret “make money online now” methods don’t work or are harder to accomplish then they let up to be. The real way they’re making their money is suckering people into buying their courses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I will say there are some great tools and products you can buy online that will save you time and help you earn money, but there is also a great deal of free information available online you can learn from, implement and make money from in the process. Also just because something is free doesn’t necessarily make it valuable. Just be aware, there’s a lot of false information out there when it comes to earning money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I’ve found one of the best free sites available online that will show you step-by-step how to earn money is at  &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.selfemploymentsecrets.com/"&gt; SelfEmploymentSecrets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Louis_Dale"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Louis_Dale&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8413149986398572418-489513089049031645?l=firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/feeds/489513089049031645/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8413149986398572418&amp;postID=489513089049031645' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/489513089049031645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/489513089049031645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/2007/04/seriously-stop-buying-internet.html' title='Seriously - Stop Buying Internet Marketing Products'/><author><name>firstonlinedollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15289916898009288466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413149986398572418.post-9060090384156483531</id><published>2007-04-19T12:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-19T12:11:17.853-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Product Selection'/><title type='text'>How To Find Products To Sell Online</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;You plan to start your own online business?

Normally wholesales products are selling in lot. Look for the wholesales lots that can be broken down to individual sales. And you can resell the individual items under your eBay account, or you could set up you own merchant website to promote the items.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Drop Shipper Directories&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drop shippers are wholesales that will ship directly to your customers. Your customers order the products from your website at the price you defined. One your get the order, you will order the product from the drop shipper and make the payment according to the drop shipper's price which is lower that your selling price, so that your will earn the margin. The drop shipper will then deliver the product directly to your customer. By using drop shippers, you don't have to invest in or store inventory. Directories of drop shipper are for sale online, some are on e-book format and others need to join the network with a minimum membership cost.

Get these foreign trade offices at your place.

Some are drawn in by the claims that you can make enormous amounts of money on the Internet. But can you really? Or is this just a myth? Many people who work corporate jobs are starting online businesses. With corporate jobs, it isn’t unusual for you to have to work quite a few hours as you move up the corporate ladder. Sure you make more money as you advance in your career, but if you are salaried, you often work a lot of overtime for the same pay. The great thing about the Internet is that you can often work whenever you want to. Once you put in your time and get your online business started, they can practically run themselves. This means you have the ability to make as much or more than working in a corporate job, but you don’t have to work as many hours. It isn’t unusual for those with established online businesses to work about 50% as much as those who don’t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Affiliate marketing is a very popular way to make money online. This basically means you market for companies on the web. The great thing about this is that you don’t have to worry about customer service, inventory or shipping. You just bring the customers to the companies you are marketing for and they pay you a commission for sales or leads. Once you get your business running on a small scale and it is profitable, you automate it and then you work on increasing traffic. More traffic means more profits, with the same amount of effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, how do you get started? There are many companies online that will teach you everything you need to get stated in affiliate marketing. This is the easiest way to do it. Once you get started, you can branch out into other areas if you want to. Many people start their Internet businesses while they are working a full time job. The flexibility of the web allows you to work evenings or weekends while you are getting started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a few things you should remember when starting an online business. Read as much as you can. There are lots of articles and forums online, but the best way is through ebooks. You learn more, faster with ebooks, because people are more willing to share their secrets to success, when you are paying them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other thing to remember is to never give up. Keep experimenting and testing to find out what works and don’t forget most people fail before they eventually succeed. This is normal when starting anything new.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Eileen Childs is a mother of two living in Virginia.

After all, you have to offer people something if you want   to earn money. Having you own product isn’t the only way to earn money online.   You can become an affiliate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also known as referral programs, affiliate programs are generally commission based   sales. Basically, you recommend a site to visitors and then receive a percentage of   any sales that visitors make. Affiliate marketing is a win-win solution for earning   money online. You benefit from the commissions and the merchant benefits from the sales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you already have a website you can monetize with affiliate programs. If not, you   can build a website to promote an affiliate program that you select. Just be sure   that you are earning more money than you are spending to build your website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The upside to promoting an affiliate program is you have another way to earn money   from your visitors. You don’t need to have a product you simply send them to a   partner and then take a portion of the profits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just like any other marketing program you need to be careful when you choose an   affiliate program. It may seem tempting to go for programs that offer the highest   commissions. But these products usually have a higher price tag which means more   advertising on your part. Remember you won’t earn any money unless your visitors   buy the product or use the service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How do you find the right affiliate programs for you? Here are some tips&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure that the program offers top level support. You don’t want to work with   anyone that does not answer your questions in a timely manner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find out what other people are saying about it. You can do this by asking in forums   or reading reviews. Obviously you don’t want to choose a program that has mainly   negative reviews. But you also should think twice about choosing a program that has   only positive reviews. No program is perfect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not accept anything less than 20% commissions. There are many programs with great   payment structures. And you can find high payment percentages in just about any niche&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Always look for programs that offer a wide variety of tools to help you promote.   Look for one that offers banners, text links and graphic links. Some even offer   pre-written ads and emails to send to your users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look for a statistics page that will list the number of click throughs, sales and earnings.   This way you can monitor your progress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find out how you will be paid. Some affiliate programs pay monthly while others   pay quarterly. Be sure that the payment schedule meets your expectations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can earn a lot of money with affiliate programs. You just have to pick the   right program for you and learn how to market your programs. Take your time if   you are just starting out. Don’t rush into anything. Once you learn what you are doing,   you can earn money online and enjoy doing it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Jeff Casmer is an award winning entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and internet marketing consultant with career sales over $25,000,000.

Here is how: start looking around your house. You can earn extra money from an old John Grisham book, Gucci bag that you do not want anymore, outgrown clothes or unused items. You will never have a hard time in choosing what item to sell since &lt;strong&gt;eBay&lt;/strong&gt; has over a thousand categories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To start selling your products on &lt;strong&gt;eBay&lt;/strong&gt;, you have to sign in first and create a seller's account or get an ID verified as a seller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you are a confirmed seller, you can create your &lt;strong&gt;eBay listing&lt;/strong&gt; by filling up the "Sell Your Item" form. You will be asked to write some details about your item such as the title or product name. You can also give a brief description, add eye-catching photos of your item to promote it. Then there would be the price, the time period you like your listing to run, location, method of payment and shipping information that needs to be included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EBay&lt;/strong&gt; will then notify you through mail upon receiving the order. In your "&lt;strong&gt;my eBay page"&lt;/strong&gt; you will find details about your buyer. You may send your package once payment is received. Carefully pack your item to avoid damage during handling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listing your items for sale is &lt;strong&gt;free on eBay&lt;/strong&gt;. Transaction fee is charged only if your item is successfully sold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the work is done for you by &lt;strong&gt;eBay&lt;/strong&gt;, from the forms provided to you (all you have to do is to put in your information), they also give you ideas on what to sell and facilitates communication between seller and buyer.

Doing extensive research on a particular subject and providing an innovative take on a niche can earn lots of money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well you could write an e-book, a digital form of a book, and sell it over the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But what about those that does not really have the particular talent or skill in writing an e-book nor has a new idea to market?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then you can market resell rights products.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resell rights products&lt;/strong&gt; are either e-books or software that can be sold and re-sold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What happens is that you can buy a certain e-book or software from a seller and have the rights to sell it as well. What you can do is find a &lt;strong&gt;resell rights product&lt;/strong&gt; that is adept to a certain niche and will have a great potential as a good sell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You have to determine though whether the product is a &lt;strong&gt;normal resell right or a master resell rights&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the &lt;strong&gt;normal resell rights products&lt;/strong&gt;, you can sell it to your costumers but they cannot sell it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the &lt;strong&gt;master resell rights products&lt;/strong&gt;, your customers can sell the products as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not all &lt;strong&gt;resell rights products&lt;/strong&gt; are hot sellers, so be sure that when you plan on investing in resell rights products that it has great potential and that it is new.

And one of the ways where they can achieve this is by having as many traffic as they can for their web sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from traffic, online companies also invest in &lt;strong&gt;autosurf programs&lt;/strong&gt; with the hope that the same people that they are paying to visit their site would eventually turn into paying customers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Get Started with Paid AutoSurf Programs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Companies that offer &lt;strong&gt;paid autosurf programs&lt;/strong&gt; requires a membership fee. The membership fee varies but if you want to make more money then you need to pay a much higher membership fee. After you sign up and paid the required membership fee that is the only time when you can start &lt;strong&gt;autosurfing&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best thing about &lt;strong&gt;autosurfing&lt;/strong&gt; is that you are not required to spend the whole day surfing, a few minutes each day of &lt;strong&gt;netsurfing&lt;/strong&gt; is enough. Depending on the terms you may get, you get paid either at the end of the month or every 15th day of the month. The terms will depend on the contract provided to you by the paid auto surf company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a word of advice, do not be too excited about registering to just any &lt;strong&gt;paid auto surf company&lt;/strong&gt; that you find online, make sure that before you pay any membership fee try to investigate the validity of the company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Hector Milla is editor of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.bigmoneyteam.info/"&gt;http://www.BigMoneyTeam.info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; a website pointing &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.bigmoneyteam.info/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ways to Make Easy Money Online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, website associated with &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.paidsurveyetc.info/"&gt;http://www.PaidSurveyEtc.info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; where you can get the most of paid surveys online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Hector_Milla"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Hector_Milla&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8413149986398572418-3799788343813056537?l=firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/feeds/3799788343813056537/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8413149986398572418&amp;postID=3799788343813056537' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/3799788343813056537'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/3799788343813056537'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-to-earn-money-online-with-paid.html' title='How to Earn Money Online with Paid Autosurf Programs'/><author><name>firstonlinedollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15289916898009288466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413149986398572418.post-3505652911240988954</id><published>2007-04-19T11:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-19T12:33:30.572-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Adsense'/><title type='text'>How to Earn Money Online With Google Adsense</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Selling your products alone in your website is the only way to &lt;strong&gt;make money in the internet&lt;/strong&gt;.

Earning money online however, is generally not free cash you have to do something. But there is a way you can get Google to pay for doing virtually nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The system is called Adsense. Basically what happens is that Google will place little ads on your blog or website that are relevant to the content of your webpage. Whenever someone clicks on those ads, you get paid! This is one of the best ways to earn money online. With Adsense it’s all about keywords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article will reveal some of the highest paying keywords and how to research high paying keywords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adsense has led to an obsession over finding the highest paying keywords. Some companies will charge   you over $200 to tell you what the highest paying keywords are. You do not need to shell out that   kind of cash to anyone just to find the right keywords just so you can earn money online with Adsense.   The important thing to remember is that the more profitable the industry the higher they will bid for  keywords. The higher the bid the more you get paid if those ads end up on your website or blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some simple research on Google will give you insight on some of the highest paying words but if you’re in a rush here seven of the highest paying keywords that will payout big-time if you decide to earn money online with Adsense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Annuity cash settlements&lt;br /&gt; Cash settlements&lt;br /&gt; Antidepressants that cause weight loss&lt;br /&gt; DWI Attorney&lt;br /&gt; DUI Attorney&lt;br /&gt; Meaningful beauty&lt;br /&gt; Bad Credit Mortgage&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Researching keywords&lt;br /&gt;This may seem daunting but it is very beneficial if you use the Google keyword selector at: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This website was designed to help advertisers choose keywords to bid on but as a publisher you can use this tool to find out the best keywords to not only build your site around but to use in content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. When you visit the above website you will notice two tabs the Keyword Variations tab and   the site-related keywords tab. Choose the Keyword variations tab.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Type in a keyword or keyword phrase. Make sure you uncheck the synonyms box. This will insure that you do a vertical brainstorm. The keyword that triggers any brainstorm is called a brainstorm seed word because it seeds a storm of keywords. In other words you will get a list of keywords and keyword phrases that contain your chosen keyword. By checking the box you get a lateral brainstorm. This gives keywords that are related to the seed word but do not contain the seed word. Make sure you uncheck the synonyms box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Where it says “choose data to display:” choose cost and ad position estimates. Choose a number that you would never bid on such as $100 and then click “recalculate”. This will give you a list of keywords along with the cost per click that advertisers are paying for the number one spot for those keywords. The number one spot for cash settlement for example costs about fifty dollars. You now know that cash settlement is a high paying keyword.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By knowing what keywords are getting the highest bid you can estimate what keywords to integrate into content for your website or blog.

Before you begin to think of goals that you would like to achieve, let’s dissect what a goal really is and how to properly set one so that you can have success in what ever goal you set for yourself in any aspect of your life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Step 1: On a piece of paper write down one goal that you would like to achieve in a relatively short period of time. Create a triangle underneath it. On the top of the triangle write down “what”, one the bottom right write “how” and on the bottom left write “why”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The “what” represents your goal. It describes something that you want to have, something that you want to be or something that you want to do. Look at your goal and ask yourself is this something that I want to have, something that I want to be or something that I want to do. The answer is yes to one of those.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Step 2: Write down these three words: specific, measurable and time value. A goal is not a goal unless it contains all three values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For starters, it must be specific. Most people speak in ambiguous terms. Stating that your goal is to earn money online is not a goal. It is merely a statement, there is nothing backing it. It is not concrete. Our minds work best when it is provided with specific instructions. When you create a goal you want to make sure that it is as specific as possible. Strip ambiguity from your life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your goal must have a measurable value. Think of a sporting event there is always a measurement system to tell viewers that their team is winning, losing, or tied. Goals work the same way. If you set a goal today then starting tomorrow and so on you are either ahead of target, below target or right on target. You need to device a measurement system because it is the only way to separate yourself from others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All your goals should have a time frame associated with them. Look at your credit card bills or think back to when you were in school all your assignments had time frames because this is the only way people will get on top of things. Having a time frame facilitates action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look back at your goal. Is it specific? Is there a measurement or time frame connected with it, if not revise it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Step 3: Your “why” is the fuel that gets you to take action. Identify with complete clarity why you want to earn money online. Until you have clarified and understand why you want to achieve that goal you will never have enough push to overcome obstacles that will get in the way of achieving your goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Step 4: “How” is your plan. These are the actions that you are going to take in order to arrive at your goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Step 5: Write these numbers on top of one another 1, 3, 5&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Represents the “what”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Identify three why’s&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Represents your how’s. Provide five specific activities that your are going to engage in and put a time frame next to each one&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Setting goals is crucial if you want to earn money online. Provided above is a power goal setting system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Jeff Casmer is an award winning entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and internet marketing consultant with career sales over $25,000,000.

The fact of the matter is – yes it's quite easy to make money online, but only if you have the KNOWLEDGE and the DETERMINATION to do it. The good news is – if you are reading this, then you are one step ahead of everyone else. Using the information I have outlined here, you should be able to quickly start using the internet to make extra (or full time) income for yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you go around the internet searching for ways to make money online, chances are that you will run into a lot of scams. These online “gurus” will try to make you believe that their 'new' way to make money online will make you rich before you know it. The truth is – no one will make money online off these bogus methods except for the money they make selling it to you. All of the people who REALLY make money online stick with two tried and true methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first of the two methods is Google Adsense. Google Adsense is a great way to make money online! Using Adsense, you can have Google display small, non-obstructive, targeted ads on your website that will earn you money every time a visitor clicks on it. This is also by far one of the easiest ways to make money online. All you have to do is find information that people want to know, provide this information for free on your website, and have Google display ads on your website so you can make money online from it. Its as simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two questions might be running through your mind right now. The first might be, “What if I don't have a website?” Not a problem! You can still make money online through Adsense by going to sites like blogger.com or wordpress.com and setting up a free blog. Blogs are relatively easy to set up and they take little internet knowledge to update. Many people who make money online have blogs, some reaching six figure revenues. The idea is to keep these blogs updated with fresh content that people will want to read. If you have a large amount of people counting on your blog for information, then you can make money online using a blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second question you may be asking is, “What if I don't have anything to write about?” Also not a problem! You can still make money online with free content by going to article sites that allow you to reprint their articles. Simply copy the articles that pertain to the topic of your blog and repost a few every week. Alternatively, you could go to free content sites (do a Google search) that offer free e-books. Search for a book that you would rarely find online, but also something that interests you and pertains to the topic of your blog. Break this book down into little sections (Possibly a chapter each, or less) and post a section every day. After you are done with the whole book in a couple of months, you will have good traffic, and you will be indexed in search engines. If you want to make money online, this is a sure-fire start. However, another crucial part to success is once you have one of these blogs going – REPEAT IT! Create more and more blogs on different subjects. The more times you repeat your successful projects, the more money you make.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second way you can make money online is through marketing information products. Do you have a special talent? Everyone does! You can make money online through your talents by writing an e-book about something you are passionate about. Make sure, however, that when you are thinking of an idea for an e-book its going to be something that will train others, or solve problems. People will be more likely to purchase your information product online, if they feel like they need it quickly. Say for example that you like to bake cookies. You might write a book about the history of cookies, how many different types of cookies there are, and what ingredients work best in cookies. This might be an interesting book, but no one would feel the need to buy it anytime soon. However, if you instead write an e-book about hundreds of different cookie recipes, people that want to bake cookies right away will download your e-book the same day. This is how a vast majority of people make money online. Even if you are doing adsense, you should strive to have at least one e-book selling online at all times. This is because once you have done the work in setting up the e-book and the website for it, all the income is passive from that point on and you can focus your attention on other methods to make money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, if you don't know how to write, you can still make money online selling e-books by having some one write the book for you. There are many websites that will allow you to hire freelance writers. It will cost you, but it will take the burden of creating your product off your shoulders and you will be able to focus on marketing the book to make money online. If you are creating the sales pitch for your website, try to look at some successful sites that sell products similar to yours. See the way they sell their products and what makes the way they market it enticing. Try to implement strategies from successful marketers in your website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;For more information on how to make money online, and to get your FREE money making website (a $1097 value), visit &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.virtualofficeaid.com/makemoneyonline"&gt;http://www.virtualofficeaid.com/makemoneyonline&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Uche_Okoroha"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Uche_Okoroha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8413149986398572418-7383945119131191086?l=firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/feeds/7383945119131191086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8413149986398572418&amp;postID=7383945119131191086' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/7383945119131191086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/7383945119131191086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/2007/04/two-best-ways-to-make-money-online.html' title='The Two Best Ways To Make Money Online'/><author><name>firstonlinedollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15289916898009288466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413149986398572418.post-4730779704086028820</id><published>2007-04-19T11:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-19T11:57:28.520-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ebooks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Affiliate Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>The Professional Guidance to Earn Money Online</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;You may come across various websites which sell E-books related to earn money online.

There are actually some reasons why people fail to make money online and I have compiled some of the reasons below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. They get distracted easily and lose focus. In other words, people can’t stick to what works. Instead of having and focusing on a few affiliate programs that work for you, they simply hop from one work at home business opportunity to another. That really should not be the way to go about if you seriously want to make money online. You need to focus all your efforts and resources on one good solid program in order to make most out of your internet business and make serious money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. They do not apply the information they have learnt. Most people read books after books and attend seminars after seminars. Most have lots of information stored in their heads. However, knowledge without action is useless. But applied knowledge is power. So you’ve got to apply what you have leant about amking money online to your internet business. Keep taking action and you will soon achieve your goals and start to make money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. They misunderstand the concept of ‘working from home’, thinking that they can just relax at home and make money. Undoubtedly, the aim of owning a home based internet business is to free up your time in the future so that you can accomplish the greater things in life. However, it doesn’t mean you can just sit back and relax right from the start and expect to make money online. You have to work, and put in both time and effort. Over time as profits start to kick in, then can you spend less time on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. They are not passionate in their business. Now, we’re bound to face obstacles and failures in our quest to make money online. Without the passion in what one is doing, one will easily lose the focus and motivation once the going gets tough. Hence, you have to find a niche market you’re absolutely passionate about in order to truly be able to make money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. They have not fully grasped all aspects of the business. In other words, these people do not know their business well enough. People never get to know their business inside and out. They don’t know what differentiates them from the rest, how their business helps to serve the public and what strategies to use to make it better. If one does not know his/her business well enough, it is going to be tough to sustain the internet business and enable one to make money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bear in mind the above 5 reasons which cause people to fail to make money online. Avoid them and you could be well on your way to make serious money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Calvin Woon is an online entrepreneur who is dedicated to helping others earn money online too.

It's true that there are many ways with which you can make money online, but the real question is would you? It seems like every good sales letter promises instant and vast amounts of cash to flow automatically into your bank account. From experience, to make money online, the best ways are often the least hyped ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Working online and earning a living from the comfort of your own home has it's own charm, but the real pulling power of working online is in the ability to determine your own income. Working at a day job will very rarely bring you the level of lifestyle that you desire and deserve. If you are ready to take the plunge and make money online, the best ways to do it will be determined by your level of experience, your interests and the amount of time and money you are prepared to spend learning a system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are quite literally, hundreds of systems that you can learn – some better than others. The greatest aspect of earning a living online is that regardless of your level of skill, your interests or your financial position, there will be a way for you to get started. If you are serious about quitting your day job and to make money online, here are three of the best ways to do it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.Taking Online Surveys&lt;br /&gt;Ok, I know that survey sites sprung up everywhere, but if you do this correctly, &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.sincere-advice.com/onlinesurveys.html"&gt;taking online surveys&lt;/a&gt; is still one of the best ways to start earning money online. You won't get rich and you won't quit your day job, but you will at least make some 'seed money' that you can use to get started with your online business. This is the ideal way for someone who is broke and who hasn't got the money needed to start with something more advanced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Start Your Own Online Store&lt;br /&gt;Online shopping is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and an estimated 9% of all shopping is now done online. Do you think this number is going to increase? You bet! Establishing your online store will pay huge dividends in the future. The challenge with an online store however is that it takes quite a bit of money to get started and along with the technical skills to run an online shop you also have all the distribution and stock to deal with. This is a great option if you already have a product or a real shop and you want to migrate to the online world. Keep in mind that to make money online the best ways are the ways that suit you best.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Create And Sell Digital Products&lt;br /&gt;Most people fail to grasp the significance of the information age. Information has become a commodity and online, information is king. Information products are one of the biggest markets online and the sale of ebooks, mp3 audio and video products are huge. Not only is there a lot of money in this, but digital products require no inventory, no shipping and distribution (all just downloaded products) and the sale of digital products can be completely automated. Digital stores like ClickBank host an incredible amount of products and you can either create your own digital products or promote products as an affiliate. Affiliate marketing is still one of the most lucrative ways to make money online. There are several excellent systems that show you how to profit from digital products and some affiliates earn millions of dollars every month by only selling other people's products online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To make money online the best ways rely heavily on your own committed effort. Once you commit to something then commit to it fully. The differences between someone who earns $10,000 a month and someone who earns $1,000 is very subtle and often the smallest little things distinguish a success from a failure. To make money online, the best ways are the ones that you do and apply to the very end. Find what looks doable for you and then just do it full out!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Article by Sincere-Advice.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;If you are interested in learning how to make money online,  visit &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.sincere-advice.com/homebusiness_idea.html"&gt;Sincere-Advice.com/homebusiness_idea.html&lt;/a&gt; for more advice and to learn more about  the best ways to earn a full time income online.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Deon_Plessis"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Deon_Plessis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8413149986398572418-8482225331643614175?l=firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/feeds/8482225331643614175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8413149986398572418&amp;postID=8482225331643614175' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/8482225331643614175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8413149986398572418/posts/default/8482225331643614175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstonlinedollar.blogspot.com/2007/04/make-money-online-best-ways-to-bring.html' title='Make Money Online - Best Ways To Bring Home The Bacon'/><author><name>firstonlinedollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15289916898009288466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413149986398572418.post-8098375075234313479</id><published>2007-04-19T11:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-19T11:36:48.451-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ideas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Overview'/><title type='text'>How To Easily And Quickly Earn Money Online</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Many people want to know how they can earn money  online so here's how to do it quickly and easily.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First you need something to sell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The easiest and biggest seller online is information  products in the form of downloadable ebooks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They don't spoil, break or cost money to aquire and  you don't even need to write your own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you can't come up with a topic to write about or  sell then you can find what is called "private label  rights" content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a great way to earn money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You actually buy the rights to the information and  then you can rewrite it or sell it as your own and  keep all the profits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just do a search on google.com for "private label  rights" and you'll get hundreds of searches to help  you out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you've got your information product put together  you'll want to set up a webpage for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This webpage is how you'll earn money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Basically your website should be a sales letter that  get's the reader excited enough to purchase your  product.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most private label rights products come with premade  websites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If they don't, you can go to elance.com and find many  people who can help you build a website if you can't  or don't know how.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To quickly and easily earn money online, you can take  your new information product and sell it on ebay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ebay is a great way to earn money online and small  fortunes are being made there everyday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just list your product in the relevant categories  set a low bid price, and ebay will do the rest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can repeat this process with many different types  of information products and constantly earn money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give it a try and watch the results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Gary Will Show You Real Ways To Make Money On The   Internet That Work, As Well As The Latest Money Making   Ideas, And Hot New Information Products And Services.
