So you managed to build an amazing website that you know your visitors would love. You have installed fantastic features that are guaranteed to blow them away. And you have included a lot of cool freebies to boot, just to leave them with something they could be happy about. It’s a blockbuster, and it’s just a matter of time.

The problem is, how exactly would people get to know that your website exists? Surely, they must first learn about its existence before they could visit it, right?

Well, it’s a fair assumption that 80% of the traffic that you’d be able to generate for your website would come from the search engines. Therefore, it is essential that you submit your website to as many search engines as possible. The process starts way before submission, of course, as you would have to optimize your web pages to constantly and efficiently win the attention of the search engine spiders.

Sounds like hard work? Well, this is something that you must do to assure a high volume of traffic for your website, dear friend. You have to employ certain tactics to get a better chance at online success.

But this is the realm of search engine optimization, or SEO as it is fondly called.

You could also try viral marketing and article marketing. The former would fetch for you an exponentially increasing traffic at a regular pace. The latter would result in a boost of users that would get to visit your web pages. Both strategies pursue the goal of exposing your website’s link to as many people as possible. Viral marketing would allow you to continuously spread your link through the use of a free product, which is usually an eBook or a special report, with words to encourage the recipients to distribute the same to their respective networks. Article marketing involves the submission of an article to the many article directories in the World Wide Web. Each article comes with a resource box that includes a link to your website.

Both strategies entail some work, specifically writing.

Are there easier ways to win traffic, you might ask? Well, there are some tactics that require little work yet provides substantial results. Let’s take a look at them.

• Increase your link popularity. Link popularity simply means the number of websites that contain links to yours. If you want to know what your website’s current link popularity is, just use the free tool at www.linkpopularity.com . Convincing other webmasters to display links to your web pages can either be very easy or very difficult. If you have befriended some webmasters throughout your online experience, this would be a cinch. Otherwise, expect to barter for such a spot on their websites, either in exchange for your goods or services, or by allowing them to display their links on your web pages as well.

• Buy spots. Most of the time, money does all the talking, and convincing. If you can’t talk them into allowing your links to be displayed on their websites, simply buy a spot on their web pages. Usually, you’d be given the spot for a month, with the option to renew the agreement every month thereafter.

• The previous two tips are about linking to other websites. Make sure that you choose popular websites. The purpose here is to garner visitors from highly visited sites to check out your web pages. If the other website generates less traffic than yours, your efforts would just be for naught.

• Try Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. This would require some financial investment from you. Overture and Google AdWords are the most prominent PPC advertising programs today. You just have to pay the program for every visitor they manage to refer to your website. You don’t have to worry about going broke, as you could always set a daily limit of how much you want to spend.

• Try traffic exchange programs. There are free ones and there are paid ones. Free traffic exchange programs allow you to join a membership community. For every website you visit, you will earn a certain number of credits. You could use these credits to purchase traffic for your own site. Paid traffic exchange programs don’t require you to visit other websites, but you do have to bring out some cash to avail of their benefits.

The traffic strategy you employ should depend on the nature and the goals of your website. A careful study of the benefits and consequences of each tactic should be made before resorting to them. Make sure that they are a perfect match for what you want your website to achieve.

If you currently do use Pay Per Click Advertisment, or if you’re just getting started you always want to find those killer cheap key words to bid on. Those are usually the ones that convert to sales easily. Clicks that cost only a few cents are easy to find. Maybe you have found a few. Let me show you how to find hundreds with this simple Pay Per Click super trick.

The Pay Per Click super trick works for everyone. Even if you have never used Pay Per Click, this will work. You can take this pay per click super trick to the next level, as in, the next level, on steroids. Actually, there a few good ones I’ll let you in on.

The trick works like this. You will want to have as many variations on a theme as possible. In other words, hundreds, or thousands of keywords and phrases that advertisers do not think of and people searching for a product do. When you start a campaign, you will use a main key word to build themes on.

How to build your themes.

Let’s say our keyword to build themes on is “CDs”. Now “CDs” is a very general term. If we razor-point target the term to musical artists and forget about ever using “CDs” as our keyword, we will be better off.

Next, we just ad words to our main theme and combine them into phrases. So, we place the words “new”, “used”, and “live” in the first position of the phrase. Then, we use the artist name Rush, in the second position. Finally, we put our main theme, “CDs” in the third position. For example:

new rush cds

used rush cds

live rush cds

You probably think this will take us forever to generate thousands of keywords. It will not! This is how. We are using a computer program to do it that does not coast us one dime to use; in fact it makes us money. It also saves us incredible amounts of time. That’s best part of the super trick.

The list you see below is very small. The list we can actually create will be 10 times this size in 60 seconds!

This is how. We can replace the word “Rush” with other artist’s names and we are using the progran to insert brackets and quotes on each side of our keyword phrases. So, if we used ten artists’ names, we would have a list of 180 key word phrases. Many advertisers would never think of using a lot of these phrases.

For example, I just looked up “live rush CDs” on Google and there were only PPC ads! A Rush fan would type that phrase in while shopping. Obviously, CD storeowners, generally do not. What that means to you is, very targeted, cheep clicks! You can use the same technique in any business.

new rush cds

used rush cds

live rush cds

newrushcds

usedrushcds

liverushcds

[new rush cds]

[used rush cds]

[live rush cds]

[newrushcds]

[usedrushcds]

[liverushcds]

“new rush cds”

“used rush cds”

“live rush cds”

“newrushcds”

“usedrushcds”

“liverushcds”

NOTE: Did you notice that some of our keywords look like this? “liverushcds” That’s a great trick to use. Often people don’t bunch they “enter” key between words when typing. The program also removes spaces between words.

Setting our budget

We are going to make sure that we don’t pay much. So we’ll just make our cost per click 5-10 cents.

Let’s sum it all up.

If we have lists of hundreds or thousands of keywords, they may very seldom get searched for. However, whit that many keywords in our campaing, the rare and super targeted clicks will drive cheep trafic every day because, we have so many waiting for the right people!

The best part of being a web site owner – or webmaster, or site stakeholder – is the ability to publish on the world wide web your latest offering. And the cheapest – if not the freest – is through the various classified ads on the Internet.

You can publish your ads through a number of means. One is by manually submitting your ads. Another is by using some free submission program. Still another is downloading some demo submission software.

You can acess the free ads submission sites or demo programs by doing a Google search. Or you can email me for my suggestions. Whichever you choose, it requires some work on your part.

But there is a difficult part to this. One of the most daunting tasks of an Internet-based entrepreneur like you, whether you are experienced or a newbie, is to find high traffic classified ad sites to post your ads.

The purpose is always – and has ever been – to increase your web site traffic. As you know, more site visitors means more revenue.

Your problem is made more difficult by the mushrooming of free classified ad web sites on the Net. Which sites among the hundreds, nay thousands, to submit your ads and links?

The purpose of this article is first, to provide a no-nonsense guide to web site owners and webmasters as to the best places on the web to submit your ads and URLs. Second, this article gives a fair warning to all and sundry to be very careful about buying ad submission services and programs.

As for the scam submission services and fake submission software, there is a warning in Latin that says, “Caveat Emptor,” or let the buyer beware. You have to do your own due diligence to outsmart the sellers of these lemon submission services and unworkable submission programs.

Some of these ineffective submission services and software are aggressively being promoted on the web. You should therefore be wary of taking a bite on these services and programs.

As an example, sometime late last year, one of these inferior submission programs was advertised on the website of a leading internet marketer. So many words were said about the product. And yet so negligible the results. This early in 2006, you read other lemon submission programs on the web.

For the honest-to-goodness ad submission sites, your problem is how to locate them. The web sites that are getting higher traffic are generally preferred. But which web sites to submit to, among the thousands out there? As they say, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With due diligence and research, however, you can locate these better classified ad sites. These are noteworthy web sites to submit your classified ads and URLs for free.

If you cannot do a research of your own, you can find other people who have done some research on the subject and who can give you tips on where to submit your ads.

I have done some research of my own, too. Some of the sites I have discovered are featured in my web page at www.internetmarketinglearningcenter.com/classified-ads.html.

Submitting your ads to a few but highly visited ad sites will spell a difference in your profit position. I suggest using a different email address for your ads submission.

You will find immediately below a listing of various web sites where you can place your ads for free.

Good luck to your ad posting!

The Pay Per Play opportunity is a great way for webmasters to earn money. People call it Pay Per Play because website owners

get paid when an audio advertisement gets played on their website. I like the idea of the Pay Per Play program because it’s geared

towards playing contextual or relevant ads based on what a website is all about. So if I have a sports related website then all

of the ads played on my website will be sports related and the best part about the Pay Per Play opportunity is that no clicks are involved to make money.

The idea came from when Google started allowing webmasters to place contextual advertisements on their websites to earn

money. This form of advertising has paid off for the publishers and has made webmasters very wealthy since its launch. Alot of

people are expecting the Pay Per Play revolution to be just as successful as Adsense. I personally believe that Pay Per Play

will be successful but requires alot of people who do run across these kind of advertisement some time to get used to because

internet surfers are not used to hearing audio play from webpages to often unless they are on sites like YouTube.

The launch for Pay Per Play will begin February 1, 2008 and has already over 60,000 advertisers lined up to promote their products

on relevant websites across the world wide web and have over 25,000 members ready to let the pay per play ads play audio on their websites that make them money.

Could Pay Per Play be the biggest form of advertisement since the release of Adsense as far as the internet is concerned? I don’t know but sure

don’t won’t be left out in the cold if this is the next BIG thing that’s hits the net and make

webmasters wealthy. Pay Per Play has announced that they will be shutting the doors to their program soon to all outsiders.

So my advice to you is if you want to know more about this once in a life-time Pay Per Play opportunity then visit Pay Per Play,

that’s if the doors aren’t shut already.

Who knows, maybe Pay Per Play might flop and be the biggest hype of the year. However, I rather be a person who joins the Pay Per Play revolution and

have the Pay Per Play program flop than a person who doesn’t have access to the program and watch webmaster make a lucrative income from the sidelines.

Article Body:

Have you been told that ebooks are dead? Have you bought into the lie that informational products no longer sell? DON’T!

It’s 2006. The start of a new year – with new goals, new aspirations and new hopes. Ebooks are not dead. In fact they are alive and well and living…… where? Well, that depends on you!

Information has always sold. It sells off line at large bookstores in the form of non-fiction how to books, financial success books, diet books, self improvement books, dog training books, and books for Dummies. Information sells online just as quickly and easily and with less hassle.

The customer receives his product immediately. A few clicks and his book is sitting on his desktop. No traveling through bad weather to the bookstore. No traveling to the second bookstore because the book is so popular the first store ran out. No back orders. No gas prices (ok – couldn’t resist that one!)

The author/publisher also has incredible benefits. No running out of product. No delivery cost. No duplication cost. Little to no overhead cost. An open world market available at your desktop.

Produce your product once and sell it as long as the information remains current.

Sell at auction. Sell it on a sales page. Sell it using affiliates. Sell it using viral techniques. Sell it while you sleep. Sell it overseas. Sell it with joint ventures. Give it away. Use ebook directories. Reformat it for hand held devices.

The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

For instance…. a new wave of video e-mail is on the horizon. This is technology that will be available to all Internet users in just a few short years. Do you want to be on the forefront of this technological advancement? Write an informational product. Point people to different vendors. Use affiliate links in the book to increase your income.

So the ebook is alive and well and living on YOUR desktop, ready to be published online and ready for you to collect an income.

Information products have been around since books were first published and they are here to stay. Take advantage of the growth in our population and answer the questions that people have – then charge them for it. As long as you answer their questions, they will buy.

By now, if you haven’t heard of “The Rich Jerk”, you’ve either been living in a cave for the past year, or you are extremely new to earning a living online. This guy is everywhere. His offensive approach is enough to repel most, and his website is like a chapter out of “Nightmare on Internet Marketers Street”. But you have to admit one thing; this guy knows exactly what he’s doing!

Ok, before you even say it, I know what you’re thinking… “Great! Another favorable review of The Rich Jerk. Probably another one of his employees.” Well, you’re only partly right. Overall, I think this guy’s shtick is pretty slick, and after reading his eBook, I can honestly say that I’ve benefited from it. However, I am not one of his employees, and unlike some, I’m not going to say I’m making millions now because of his eBook. What I am going to do is give you an honest overview of his eBook in every day terms and let you decide whether or not it’s worth your time and money to look into it further.

Ok, before we get started, let’s get something straight. I hate reading long-winded articles about questionable subjects, and I figure the same is true for you. So, if you’re looking for an article with a lot of “fluff” and fictitious evidence, look elsewhere. What you’re going to get from me is a short and sweet overview, as an honest business man, of “I’m Better Than You – The Rich Jerk’s Guide to Making Money Online”

Initial Impressions – The Website

Like I said before, this guy’s site is a nightmare! It’s stuffed full of so many marketing tricks and terms that I thought I stumbled across the holy grail of all Internet Marketing sites. Like the thousands of other “Get Rich Quick” sites out there, this site just reeks of marketing crap. There’s only one twist to this site that kept me reading. This guy’s copy is absolutely insulting! I couldn’t help but read it. It’s hilarious! I don’t know if this guy has studied reverse psychology or not, but he sure is good at it.

Initial Impressions – The eBook

After reading over this guy’s site a couple times, I was pretty well convinced that his product was going to be yet another waste of time and energy, but I figured that if I read the eBook and could write an informative article exposing this guy, the traffic it would generate for me would more than compensate me for the fifty bucks it took to get the book.

I’ll spare you the fifty cent overview of the appearance of the book and just tell you this.. It’s done right. The look, the layout, and even the security are top notch. This guy wants to make sure that you get the right impression and that you cannot easily replicate his work.

I was quite amazed at how short this book is. There are nine chapters totaling sixty pages. Even for someone like me who doesn’t like to read a lot, this was a very manageable chunk of data. The following is a list of the chapters contained in the book.

Chapter 1 – Creating an Affiliate Website that Sells like Crazy

Chapter 2 – Unique Search Engine PPC Strategies that Kill the Competition

Chapter 3 – Search Engine Optimization Strategies (SEO)

Chapter 4 – Selling Your Own Informational Product

Chapter 5 – Buying Wholesale and Selling on eBay

Chapter 6 – Websites you can Make Profitable Right Now

Chapter 7 – Other Online Ventures to Consider

Chapter 8 – Supplemental Info for Beginners

Chapter 9 – Quality Products/Services I Highly Recommend

As you can see, yet more marketing jargon stuffed into the titles of the chapters. I started to roll my eyes and kick myself for wasting my time, but instead, I decided to read on. I’m glad I did.

I’m not going to waste my time and yours going into excruciating detail about every chapter. I’m not a professional book reviewer. Quite frankly, I’m barely good enough at English to write this article. However, I will give you my overall impressions.

This guy either has a split personality, or is exceptionally good at putting on the “Jerk” face on his website. What I found in his book what completely different. It was almost like he forgot to be a jerk and just got straight down to business.

Like many “informational products”, this book has a lot of common sense information in it. I’d estimate that at least half of the book is composed of information you can freely find elsewhere, if you feel like investing the time. The other half of the information presented is new information to me, but it may not be so to a well seasoned marketer. I’m a web designer, not a marketer, so I cannot say for sure. I will say that the way the information is presented in this book definitely piqued my interest and made more than a few light bulbs go off in my head.

It’s not so much that he was presenting anything to me that was all that earth shattering. It’s more of a case of him presenting it in a different way. A way my brain understands and could process effectively. Unlike his site and the chapter index, the book actually had less marketing buzzwords and more everyday language wisdom. He clearly and concisely outlined exactly the steps you would need to take to achieve xyz results. To be completely honest, if you follow the steps to the letter, I don’t see how you could not make some money. I wouldn’t say you would end up rich, but you definitely could make some extra pocket cash.

The thing that surprised me the most about this eBook is that, while it still heavily focused on Internet Marketing, it contains so much useful information on SEO and starting a legitimate online business. This guy even provides you with a ton of resources, including contact information for wholesale outlets! Whether you’re interested in Internet Marketing or not, you might be surprised at what you will find in this book. This guy even taught me a couple tricks about SEO, a service I provide professionally!

Summary

Bottom line, if you’ve got the time on your hands and you’re really short on cash, you might want to spend your time on Google researching marketing. Most likely, you’ll eventually run across the vast majority of the techniques this guy teaches in his book. Likewise, if you’re a seasoned pro, this book might not be a good investment for you as you might only learn a couple new tricks. However, if you’ve got fifty bucks to spare, or if you are short on time and want to launch your online business quickly, then I personally believe this eBook is worth the money.

I started employing just a couple of the “white hat” tactics outlined in this eBook a couple days ago, and have tried to remain consistent with them. In less than a week, the traffic coming to this site has more than doubled. Given that I’m not selling anything (yet), I’m certainly not raking in the cash. But, I figured, if I’m going to test out this guy’s methods, I might as well try it out on a tough market and see how it works. Go ahead, check my Alexa rankings, this guy’s tips work.

On a final note… I’m not going to feed you some line of bull. If you are serious about making money online legitimately, there is work involved. I don’t think The Rich Jerk would dispute this fact. To see the gains I’ve seen just in a few days, I had to invest a little bit of my time. However, the time I invested in order to achieve those results is far less than what I had invested before to get less traffic. Essentially, by following The Rich Jerk’s tips, I’ve reduced the amount of time it takes to market my site, while increasing the effectiveness of my efforts. For me, that’s well worth the fifty bucks.

You’ve got my opinion, for what it’s worth. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you. I know I’ll be making more money in 2011.

Many people begin their online road to riches dream by starting up a website and trying to sell a product they have created themselves. They may have written an e-book, recorded a cd of original songs, or knitted some lovely potholders with pictures of cats on them.

Enormous volumes of hype have been published with the claim that the internet is an easy, if not mindless, way to riches. The internet is now a global advertising grid, and millions of people surf each day for things they would like to buy, learn about, or discover. They search for the needle in the electronic haystack that suits their fancy for the moment. Shopping online has now become reasonably safe.

The first problem is, how will shoppers with a credit card and the urge to shop find your website? A count as of January1, 2005, suggested there may be as many as 11.5 billion public webpages published. That was just over a year ago at the time of this writing, so that number can only be much higher today. To expose your little website selling cat potholders to prospective customers may take a little a little work.

Search engines use complex algorithms (mathematical formulae) to determine if the content of a website matches its owners claims. Self-proclaimed experts who follow this route for exposure must research every day to ensure their success. The search engine companies themselves keep their algorithms secret to avoid unscrupulous marketers taking unfair advantage of the whole internet shopping and surfing experience.

So what is a potholder seller to do? Search engine experts can charge upwards of $25,000 to guarantee that your site might be the first to be found when someone enters a search. That’s a whole lot of lovely cat potholders. Some very easy and free methods are available to drive traffic to your website. One of them is writing simple articles. You’re reading this one right now, aren’t you?

Hundreds of “article directories” exist on the web just for this purpose. The main and simplest thing people search for on the internet is information. People want to know about something, and often a good place to find a snippet of information is in an article directory. Thousands of 500-1500 word articles have been written and published on the internet, and people love to read them. If they are short and informative, they will become popular to read, and not too time consuming.

Then once your website is up on the net, write a brief, helpful article about your product. Target the style and content of your writing to suit your friends and customers, and also yourself. The average newspaper is written for a grade 9 level reader, and tabloids are written for a grade 6 level or lower. Writing on the internet runs the whole gamut of education. Explain a problem that needs to be solved, and at the end provide a solution. Sales copy is more involved than this, but an article should be entertaining, or fit the parameters of a possible search.

The most important part of the article, besides the content and the attention grabbing headline, is a live link to your website in the author’s bio at the bottom. More often than not, the reader will click the link, if it is live, to see what other information might be available on that particular subject. This link must lead straight to your potholder website. A reader is less likely to copy and paste your website address into their browser if another similar article is listed in the directory.

Write a short paragraph stating your expertise with cat potholders, and invite the reader to visit your website. This will be your “author’s bio”. If someone does read the whole article, they are often curious who wrote it, if it covers the subject they are interested in. Most article directories will accept html code in the bio box.

Search for the words “article directory”, and make a list of as many as you can. Most directories are free to read and submit your articles to. Registration is usually necessary, with your email as the username. Get another free email address to use specifically for article submission to avoid any trouble with spam.

After you have submitted your article, it may take a few days for publication. Check back to the directory to see if your article is published and your link is working. Then do it all again. The articles will stay published forever, or as long as the directory exists. Over time, people will continue to read your article, and click back to your website. If you submit your article to 20 directories, and 40 people interested in cat potholders read it, that’s 800 more potential customers from one article. If you have the time to write 20 little articles, and submit them to 40 directories, and 40 people read each one over time, well you do the arithmetic.

Article submission is one easy, quick and guaranteed way to direct some website traffic your way, and at almost no cost. Give it a try, you’ll be amazed.

The hardest part of writing is the first sentence.

When you look at the whole project, it seems like an

impossible task. That’s why you have to break it down

into manageable tasks. Think of climbing a mountain.

You are standing at the foot of it and looking up at

its summit vanishing into the clouds. How can you

possibly scale such an immense and dangerous mountain?

There is only one way to climb a mountain ? step by

step.

Now think of writing your ebook in the same light. You

must create it step by step, and one day, you will

take that last step and find yourself standing on the

summit with your head in the clouds.

The first thing you have to do, as if you actually

were a mountain climber, is to get organized. Instead

of climbing gear, however, you must organize your

thoughts. There are some steps you should take before

you begin. Once you’ve gone through the following

list, you will be ready to actually begin writing your

ebook.

Beginning Steps to Writing an ebook

First, figure out your ebook’s working title. Jot down

a few different titles, and eventually, you’ll find

that one that will grow on you. Titles help you to

focus your writing on your topic; they guide you in

anticipating and answering your reader’s queries. Many

non-fiction books also have subtitles. Aim for clarity

in your titles, but cleverness always helps to sell

books ? as long as it’s not too cute. For example,

Remedies for Insomnia: twenty different ways to count

sheep. Or: Get off that couch: fifteen exercise plans

to whip you into shape.

Next, write out a thesis statement. Your thesis is a

sentence or two stating exactly what problem you are

addressing and how your book will solve that problem.

All chapters spring forth from your thesis statement.

Once you’ve got your thesis statement fine-tuned,

you’ve built your foundation. From that foundation,

your book will grow, chapter by chapter.

Your thesis will keep you focused while you write your

ebook. Remember: all chapters must support your thesis

statement. If they don’t, they don’t belong in your

book. For example, your thesis statement could read:

We’ve all experienced insomnia at times in our lives,

but there are twenty proven techniques and methods to

give you back a good night’s sleep.

Once you have your thesis, before you start to write,

make sure there is a good reason to write your book.

Ask yourself some questions:

* Does your book present useful information and is

that information currently relevant?

* Will you book positively affect the lives of your

readers?

* Is your book dynamic and will it keep the reader’s

attention?

* Does you book answer questions that are meaningful

and significant?

If you can answer yes to these questions, you can feel

confident about the potential of your ebook.

Another important step is to figure out who your

target audience is. It is this group of people you

will be writing to, and this group will dictate many

elements of your book, such as style, tone, diction,

and even length. Figure out the age range of your

readers, their general gender, what they are most

interested in, and even the socio-economic group they

primarily come from. Are they people who read fashion

magazines or book reviews? Do they write letters in

longhand or spend hours every day online. The more you

can pin down your target audience, the easier it will

be to write your book for them.

Next, make a list of the reasons you are writing your

ebook. Do you want to promote your business? Do you

want to bring quality traffic to your website? Do you

want to enhance your reputation?

Then write down your goals in terms of publishing. Do

you want to sell it as a product on your website, or

do you want to offer it as a free gift for filling out

a survey or for ordering a product? Do you want to use

the chapters to create an e-course, or use your ebook

to attract affiliates around the world? The more you

know upfront, the easier the actual writing will be.

Decide on the format of your chapters. In non-fiction,

keep the format from chapter to chapter fairly

consistent. Perhaps you plan to use an introduction to

your chapter topic, and then divide it into four

subhead topics. Or you may plan to divide it into five

parts, each one beginning with a relevant anecdote.

How to make your ebook “user friendly”

You must figure out how to keep your writing engaging.

Often anecdotes, testimonials, little stories, photos,

graphs, advice, and tips will keep the reader turning

the pages. Sidebars are useful for quick, accessible

information, and they break up the density of the

page.

Write with a casual, conversational tone rather than a

formal tone such as textbook diction. Reader’s respond

to the feeling that you are having a conversation with

them. Break up the length and structure of your

sentences so you don?t hypnotize your readers into

sleep. Sentences that are all the same length and

structure tend to be a good aid for insomnia!

Good writing takes practice. It takes lots and lots of

practice. Make a schedule to write at least a page a

day. Read books and magazines about the process of

writing, and jot down tips that jump out at you. The

art of writing is a lifetime process; the more you

write (and read), the better your writing will become.

The better your writing becomes, the bigger your sales

figures.

In an ebook that is read on the screen, be aware that

you must give your reader’s eye a break. You can do

this by utilizing white space. In art classes, white

space is usually referred to as “negative space.”

Reader’s eyes need to rest in the cool white oasises

you create on your page. If your page is too dense,

your reader will quit out of it as soon as their eyes

begin to tear.

Make use of lists, both bulleted and numbered. This

makes your information easy to absorb, and gives the

reader a mental break from dissecting your paragraphs

one after the other.

Finally, decide on an easy-to-read design. Find a font

that’s easy on the eyes, and stick to that font

family. Using dozens of fonts will only tire your

readers out before they’ve gotten past your

introduction. Use at least one and a half line

spacing, and text large enough to be read easily on

the screen, but small enough so that the whole page

can be seen on a computer screen. You will have to

experiment with this to find the right combination.

Of course, don’t forget to run a spell and grammar

check. You are judged by something as minor as correct

punctuation, so don?t mess up a great book by tossing

out semicolons randomly, or stringing sentences

together with commas. (By the way, that’s called a

“comma splice.”)

Last of all, create an index and a bibliography.

That’s it! You’ve written a book! Now all you have to

do is publish your ebook online, and wait for download

request from your website visitors.

You’re probably wondering what the blazes is popular about a link! Well, in a word – plenty! Link popularity refers to the ranking assigned to your website by the search engines, and it determines the ranking your page gets when keywords are entered into a search engine. So, you’re probably wondering, how do I make my link popular?

Search engines are discretionary, giving status and ranking to sites that have links to their pages from related, quality sites. It’s a simple formula, but a very important one. Google created the system, and now virtually all the most popular search engines employ it to rank your web pages in their indexes.

The more commonly used your keyword is, the harder it will be to achieve link popularity, but without achieving this step, it is almost certain your site will never rank highly on any search engine. But don’t be discouraged; there are tried and true ways of achieving link popularity using the most competitive keywords.

There are a few things you should be aware of. The first is that just linking up with a large number of other websites will not achieve link popularity. In fact, it may have quite the opposite effect. This is particularly true when pertaining to websites that are nothing more than “link farms” – pages containing line after line of indiscriminate links. Search engines may aggressively discriminate against your website if you are associated with a link farm, so steer clear of them!

The next thing to bear in mind is the quality of the site you are linking to. Never link to a page you have reservations about your visitors seeing. The last thing you want your website to appear as is indiscriminate and cheap. Linking to sites of poor quality will only lessen your link popularity, if not completely destroy it.

So let’s get to what you need to do to achieve supreme link popularity and improve your rankings to stellar status on all the popular search engines.

The first step, and the fastest way to get your foot in the door, is to get a listing in a popular directory, such as Open Directory Project and Yahoo. If your site is business-related, you will want to be listed on Yahoo, and despite the fact that it will cost you around $300 a year, it will be money well spent. If your site is non-commercial, the listing will be free, but it will take time and follow-up to actually get it listed. Open Directory is gives you a free listing whether you are business-related or non-commercial, but be prepared to make a lot of follow-up inquiries before you see your site listed.

You are aiming to get listed in the highest level of appropriate category, and this just takes some common sense. For example, if your company ships Alpaca wool from an Alpaca farm located in the middle of Nowhere, Tiny State, do NOT submit your listing to “Retailers from Nowhere, Tiny State.” BIG MISTAKE! All you have to do is look a little deeper – and submit your listing to the “Fine Alpaca Wool” category. You will not only associate yourself with culture and quality, but you will be listed in a national category.

The next step after you have attained directory listings is to locate other quality sites that will increase your link popularity. Try to find sites that are in some way related to yours, so not only will your link popularity increase, but your customer base may also be expanded. You want to avoid your competitors and look for sites that are useful to your site’s visitors. Let’s look at the Alpaca Wool site example. Linking up to a site that sells knitting supplies would be helpful to your visitors, and the chances of the knitting supply site wanting to link up to your site are also greater. By linking to a related site that will be relevant to your website’s traffic, you are increasing both of your site’s business prospects – and both of your sites’ link popularity.

Not all sites want to link to other sites, so you will have to do some research when you are looking for possible linking partners. Google is an excellent starting place for your search. Make sure you enter keywords that you think quality customers will also enter to find your own site. Remember, your criteria are quality, highly ranked, non-competing websites that have a links or resources page. Go to these sites and objectively assess them. Look at the quality of the product, the graphics, and the ease of use. Then check out the other sites they are linked to, and determine if your own site would fit in with the crowd.

When you decide you have found a good prospect, you must set out to woo them. The first thing to do is to add a link on your own links page to their site. This is an essential first step; it shows good faith, and ups your chances significantly of their reciprocity. After you have added their link, you must contact the webmaster of their site. Since this is almost always done by email, you want to make sure it is immediately clear that your message is not junk mail. This requires that you tell them right off the bat that you have added a link to their page on your site. A hook like this almost always insures the reader will read on.

Next, be sure to be flattering and let them know how much you appreciate their website. Make sure you emphasize that you have actually visited their site, and that their site is not just a random pick. Give them the address of your links page, and ask them to check out the link for themselves. It’s a good idea to mention that they will not only benefit from the increased traffic your website will direct their way, but you will also increase their link popularity. Briefly, explain why link popularity is so essential, but do this in a sentence or two so you don’t sound like a professor! Finally, tell them you would greatly appreciate if they would reciprocally add a link on their own links page to your website.

Go through this process with as many appropriate sites as you can find, bearing in mind the criteria of quality and non-competitiveness. After you have emailed all relevant sites, be sure to check these website frequently to see if they have added a link to your page. Give it about a month, and if no link appears, try another charming email. Then give it another month, and if your site is still absent from their links page, it’s time to remove their link from your own links page. The only time you want to pursue a link further than this is if you believe a site is crucial to your link popularity and your business needs. Just remember to keep all your communications complimentary and cordial.

Then set up a schedule to check your ranking in search engines frequently to see if your link popularity has improved. This is not achievable in the blink of an eye. It will take some time and a good deal of work. There is no way around the labour-intensive quality of improving your link popularity, which is why search engines regard it with such importance.

By the way – make sure you have a beautiful, streamlined site or you will never persuade anyone to link up to you. Be prepared to keep plugging away at this process, as long as it takes, until you achieve link popularity stardom!

The best places to put your 3 blocks of Google Adsense code is right at the top under your Header graphic if you have one. The next best place is in the upper left sidebar. And the last place is either within the content itself or at the end of the article.
