10 Factors Google and Yahoo Consider For a Top Search Engine Ranking

Want to get into the top 5 of either Google or Yahoo? Make
sure your website contains the top 10 factors for deciding
a top search engine ranking.

It does not matter if you have the cure for cancer, if
nobody knows about it you are not going to make any money.
A top search engine ranking in either Google or Yahoo is
the surest way for buyers to find your products so you can
become a wealthy marketer. Google and Yahoo are responsible
for about 80% of all search engine traffic in the world.

Make sure your online business or website contains these
top 10 factors used for determining sites with a top 5
search engine ranking in Google and Yahoo.

Factor #1: Number of Quality Sites that Link to Yours

Google and Yahoo put a lot of significance on how many
quality sites link back to yours with a page rank of at
least 4 and above. This is probably the most important
factor when considering a top search engine ranking.

When search engines see lots of important sites link back
to yours it must mean that your site is also pretty
important.

Remember the purpose of the internet is to provide
information back to the end user. As someone is conducting
research on the World Wide Web, sites must also participate
and flow and connect to other related sites allowing those
searching for your keyword terms various paths to the
information being inquired.

Factor #2: Number of Pages Your Website Has

A website with less than 50 pages is really going to
struggle to get a top search engine ranking unless it has
more quality back links coming into it than their
competitors.

Factor #3: Keywords in Your Title Tag

Google and Yahoo look to see if your keywords are contained
in your page title and description. Make sure your keywords
are also listed within your heading and subheading tags.

Factor #4: Keywords Showing in Links

Keywords that are highlighted within a link are considered
more significant than those not at all highlighted within a
link.

Factor #5: Keywords in Bold

Likewise words in bold are also considered more important
than those not in bold.

Factor #6: Keywords in URL

Websites that are in less competitive markets that contain
the keywords within their URL are considered more important
than those sites that respectivley do not.

Also keywords in the URL that come before unrelated words
are considered better than a URL that follows an unrelated
word within the URL. For example if your keyword is
televisions, a URL with 'televisions' followed by unrelated
words such as your name 'Mike' is better than putting your
name 'Mike' before 'televisions.'

Factor #7: More Significance Given to First 25 Words on Page

The first 25 words of each page are given more weight than
all other words on the page. Make sure your keywords are in
the first few words of your page. However, if you try and
just list the same word or phrase 25 times repeatedly
Google and Yahoo will penalize you.

Factor #8: Greater Than 300 Words on Your Homepage

Make sure you have at least 300 or more words on your
homepage.

Factor #9: Keyword Density

Keyword density is not as important as it once was in the
past but it still is an important factor. In order to get a
top 5 search engine ranking look at your competitors sites
and compare the density of their sites to yours and try and
match their density.

Factor #10: Page Rank

Want to find out the page rank of your website or the page
rank of another site? Download the Google toolbar and make
sure the page rank indicator is activated. One major factor
in determining your page rank is the first factor listed in
this article. Quality back links are the most important
factor for formulating your page rank.

A top search engine ranking in Google and Yahoo is decided
most often by the combination of these 10 factors. If you
want to get into the top 5 of the two most important search
engines than make sure your website applies these major
search engine ranking factors.

The Right Attitude Is Vital For An Online Home Business Venture

You may feel strain and tension when you first decide to
start a home business. This can be a hard time for you and
your family. You may be spending more time and money than
you originally planned on. Pressure may be brewing to get
this endeavor accomplished so you can spend more leisure
time with your loved ones. However, it takes hard work and
determination to begin this type of venture. To be
successful in a home business project, you must relax while
you are working. Even when you are spending time with the
family you must learn how to enjoy this time without worry
or anxiety. It is important for a home business to have the
right attitude when maintaining the company and personal
business as well.

Every person may feel that they are not putting enough time
into this business. They may procrastinate with web site
designing or advertising to gain more web site traffic.
They may have hired some employees to begin this venture.
The workers can take charge or certain situations so a
person can relax more and spend time with his/her family.

You must learn how to balance work and home life to keep
everyone happy and so the home business experience can be
an enjoyable one. If you become angry because of stress for
no apparent reason, the family and the employees will be
unhappy. If you can keep a level head and learn to unwind,
the home business will be more successful. It is important
to keep an eye on the workers to see that they are
completing their jobs; however you need not to become angry
at the littlest problem or issue. These things happen
during the beginning for a home business. Especially when
this is the first time you are trying to accomplish this
type of goal. It does not help and it will only hurt to be
angry and unpleasant every day.

Keeping the right attitude will assist you to create a
better home business. Web site traffic is a vital step to
completing this process. You may need to enlist the
assistance of professional press release personnel or
advertising specialist. This will give you more time to be
with your family and settle down from the issues that have
been haunting you. It is difficult to complete a home
business from beginning to end. Nevertheless, this will be
worth the time and energy in the long run.

The right attitude will assist you to go farther and learn
how to accomplish things more quickly. You will be able to
complete projects on time and fully obtain a well-oiled
home business venture. Web site designing and web site
traffic are both important aspects of this type of
endeavor. If you are learning how to accomplish both, the
stress levels may rise. It is vital that you do not try to
do too much and you have to be willing to hire employees if
necessary.

The right attitude will successfully complete the home
business project. If you are happy and vigorous, the
employees and family will enjoy being around you, and your
home business will be successful.

Five Key Steps In Online Business Planning

It rates easier than ever to start a new business on the
Internet.

Never before have the opportunities been more available,
the tools cheaper, or the prospects of success more likely.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran looking to expand an
existing online business, a casual dabbler looking for a
part-time income, or an offline professional wanting to
expand your market online, the following five key steps
will help you reach your goals.

Key # 1: Define Your "Target"

Clearly list and explain what you want to accomplish in
your web site business.

We all think about what we want to get or accomplish in
life and our job.

But did you ever list it specifically in terms of money,
traffic to a web site, or more sales online?

This principle and simple activity applies to an ebook, a
new website, an ezine or any other business goal.

Defining a clear target will give your conscious and sub
conscious mind something definite to shoot for.

Examples include: the number of subscribers to your ezine;
sales per day on your website; pages written in an ebook;
new advertising sources found; number of affiliates
recruited and more.

Key # 2: Define the Cost"

You must "define the cost" in terms of the tools,
resources, and people you need to reach your online
business target, no matter what type of business you
operate.

How much will it cost in time per hour, day, week and month
for all of the items?

Also, how much will it cost in terms of money to operate
the business, buy traffic, pay for hosting, design and more.

Sit down and map out the costs before throwing open your
doors (or wallet) so you don't get hit with any nasty
surprises.

Key # 3: "Make a List"

To create a real business that can be systematized, you
must list off every single thing or element connected with
your business, from the first idea to making daily deposits
into the bank.

You may not know how they'll get done right now, but you
must recognize that eventually these items must get done.

You can easily come up with a fairly comprehensive list by
brainstorming just to get them down on paper.

Then, when you think you thought of everything, let someone
else take a look and poke holes in your list with all kinds
of additions and questions.

Key # 4: "Prioritize"

Here you must list all the elements you planned in number 3
in the exact order of how you should complete them.

Car makers must build in a planned order or the finished
product won't work.

Once you sketch out your complete plan, let someone else
take a look to see if you forgot a step.

In fact, they might point out that you forgot to tighten
the lug nuts and the wheels fell off in the dealership!

Key # 5: "One Step At A Time"

Most people want it all and they want it now!

Unfortunately, the real world doesn't work that way.

Whether you do all the work yourself, outsource the job, or
a combination of the two, everything must get done in the
correct order in the correct way.

My motto reads, "Multi Tasking = Inefficiency.

Don't try to do two different jobs at the same time, you'll
most likely screw up both and waste time and money doing
them a second time.

Doing web site copy and email don't mix, auto responder
messages and voice mail don't mix.

So pass each milestone on your roadmap and get things done
properly and in sequence.

Launching an efficient and effective online business is not
difficult.

It just requires careful planning, step-by-step execution,
and attention to detail in order to greatly increase your
chances of success.

Top 10 Ways to Commit Marketing Suicide on Myspace

More and more marketers are beginning to use social
networking sites such as MySpace as one of their
advertising pillars. The only problem is the 90% of these
people don't have a clue how to effectively market using
these sites. If done right Myspace can be a wonderful way
to grow your business. If you have no clue what you're
doing, it's a great way to commit marketing suicide. Here
are the top 10 ways to guarantee your failure on MySpace.

1.) Not taking the time to set your page up so that it
is easy to read and is appealing to your visitors. If your
page is not easy to read no one will take the time to read
it. Hint: Paragraphs People.

2.) Putting a picture of anything but yourself as your
profile picture Please don't put a picture of your
product or a logo of your company as your main picture.
People don't care what your product looks like, they're
looking to put a face to the name, and if you don't give
them that face, they'll go to someone else who does.

3.) Choosing a boring picture of yourself as your main
picture. What is the first thing your visitor is going to
see before they even make the decision to view your
profile? Your picture must speak for you and compel them to
click on it to find out more about you.

4.) Using your about me section to talk about anything
other than yourself. Just remember that people don't care
how much you know until they know how much you care.

5.) Branding your Company instead of yourself. Remember,
people only join and buy from people that they know, like
and trust. They are looking for a way to relate to you.

6.) Having only one thing to offer your visitor,
especially if that one thing is a business opportunity.
Most people are already in a program and aren't looking to
join another one. If your still barking your MLM to the
world you heading for the biggest dead end you've ever seen.

7.) Pitching your friends list on your program or
product without first building a relationship with them.
They will say no every time. How many people have you had
say yes? Be honest.

8.) Posting money making opportunity bulletins that
talk about how much money they can make by joining your
opportunity and expecting them to actually get read. You
must offer valuable information to people. Once again,
most people are not looking to quit their program and join
yours.

9.) Using stock emails that were given to you by your
company in your messages to your friends. Everyone has
already gotten that same email at least twice from the
other people who think that those emails work.

10.) Not taking the time to learn the communications
skills that are needed to successfully use MySpace as a
marketing tool. The only thing that stands between you and
everything you want is your ability to communicate and to
influence other people. The keyword here is content.

You can have the prettiest MySpace page, the biggest
friends list, all the fancy tools, but if you can't
communicate, you have no content (relevant content) and you
don't have the right Mindset, all bets are off.

The Importance of Residual Income

What IS residual income, and what makes it so special?

Residual Income (also known as passive or recurring income)
is income that you receive continuously for work that you
did once.

Let's repeat...

Residual Income (also known as passive or recurring income)
is income that you receive continuously for work that you
did once.

The great thing about residual income is that it's YOURS.
You can get a regular check every week or month once a
solid foundation is built and you can be wasting the day on
a beach or somewhere exotic, skiing down a mountain in
Europe, sailing in the Caribbean, traveling around the US
in your new camper, or just sitting at home enjoying your
freedom with your family!

Imagine, if you will, a weekly check that comes in like
clockwork. What would this mean to you and those you love?
Let's compare that to a day JOB, which is also called,
"Linear," Income, or a payment that you receive from going
in to a place of business day-after-day, week-after-week,
year-after-year and giving your employer much of your time
and efforts. You receive your check on payday in the form
of wages and/or commissions while paying the most taxes the
law will allow.

Having a "regular" day job or getting paid by commission is
still a "one-shot-deal." In other words, if you quit or
get fired, that check stops immediately and you are out
looking for another job so you don't end up on the street.
It is a sad fact that many people are ONE PAYCHECK away
from being homeless!!! This is what living
"paycheck-to-paycheck" really means.

There are many different ways to create this "residual"
income. You could write a best-seller, invent something,
get lucky in the stock market, or own a successful life
insurance company. Most residual income-generators are
difficult and require an investment of quite a bit of money
or require special skills and talents and lots , not to
metion lot of time and effort. Do any of those sound like
something that would be realistic in your life?

Most folks know that another supposed source of residual
income is MLM, multi-level marketing. But even if you were
the best in the world at building an MLM business, 95% of
the unfortunate people you recruit into your business would
be making little, or in most cases, NO money at all! That
wipes out any hope for long-term residual income for you.

Most MLM companies also require what is called an
"auto-ship," where month after month you cringe when UPS
drops a bunch of nutritional products on your doorstep that
cost you from $100 to sometimes HUNDREDS of dollars per
month! If you are like most folks, you can never drink the
"power drink," or choke down all those pills, so your
closet or your garage stacks up with boxes of "stuff" from
your latest MLM business!

Not only that, but most people can't sustain that hundred
or so dollars every month for very long. Like you, most
people never even make enough to cover their auto ship, let
alone the money needed to market the products well enough
to make any serious money!

So what most people need to do is come up with an option
that will allow them to earn residual income without a lot
of skills and talent or a lot of money, like what it would
cost to buy your own insurance company. You need a simple
plan for residual income. Fortunately, there are options
for those of us without a lot of money and a lot of special
skills and talents that will allow you to earn a residual
income. Residual income is very important to your long
term financial goals but it eludes most people since they
don't even know what it is. But now that you know what it
is, its time for you to start working your plan to earn
residual income.

Stop Google Adwords From Stealing Your Money

Losing lots of hard-earned money on Google Adwords and
getting no results? Feel like you walked into a landmine
and just looking for an answer to get your money back?

Apply these 5 essential keys to make Google Adwords give
you back your money, destroy those Google pay per click
landmines and create your own Google Adwords goldmines.

Key #1: Do Not Advertise on the Content Network

In your Google Adwords account make sure you turn the
"content" network off.

The content network puts your ad in front of too broad of a
market. The content network includes Google pay per click
ads appearing next to personal e-mail, blogs, and online
publishers such as press release websites. The percentages
of potential buyers in the content network are low. You are
wasting your money in the content network.

Key #2: Do Not Advertise on the Search Network

Turn the "search" network settings off in your Google
Adwords account.

The search network includes small Google search engine
partners and affiliates that can be compared to the quality
of spam or junk mail. A small amount of potential buyers
are looking for your product within this search network.
The search network is filled with eternal information
seekers; people who are not serious about buying but rather
wishing to find something for nothing.

Key #3: Put Quotes Around Keywords

Put quotation marks at the beginning and end of each
keyword phrase. Quotation marks tell Google Adwords to only
show your pay per click ads when the same exact phrase is
searched. If you are selling the cure for cancer, one of
your keyword phrases should be "cure for cancer." When
someone puts that exact phrase into the Google search
engine your ad appears and is exactly targeted to the exact
person who is searching that exact term. The better
targeted the ad, the better chance you will make a sale.

You are wasting your money if you fail to put quotation
marks around your keywords because you are not targeting
your buying market. Your ad appears to the wrong market
when someone searches the phrase 'fake cancer cure lies and
scams.' It is the wrong keyword phrase, the wrong person
and thus the wrong market.

Key #4: Keywords in Ads

Put your Google pay per click term in the actual ad. You
only have a few lines to grab a targeted buyers' attention.
So include the searched term in the ad. Put 'cure for
cancer' on the top line of the ad. Google Adwords will bold
that term, it will be included in your ad and it is the
term the buyer searched. You are more likely to make a sale
when a buyer is looking for exactly what you are selling.

Key #5: Use Specifics

If you are selling a home-based business, do not use
keywords such as 'home-based business' because again it is
too broad. Use specific terms instead. If the name of your
business is 'Troll Doll Central' then use that specific
keyword term and put it in your Google Adwords campaign.
Now when 'Troll Doll Central' is searched you know that
person is looking for your business and will most likely
buy when an ad appears targeting exactly what they are
searching for.

Use these 5 essential keys to stop your Google Adwords
campaign from stealing your money. Applying these correct
marketing principles will turn Google Adwords into your own
personal goldmine whenever you choose.

How to Make Money Online Quick

The challenge of finding a way to make money online quick
might be compared with the challenge of getting someone to
read an e-mail quick. Once you send an e-mail, there is no
guarantee that it will be read in the next 5 minutes, or
even in the next 5 hours.

In the same way, once you offer an item for sale on line,
there is no guarantee that your offer will be noticed in
the next 5 minutes or even the next 5 hours. One way to
succeed in the effort to make money online quick requires
an extensive use of links. If one has a website that is
linked to many other websites, then one stands a better
chance of getting an internet user staring at the
information on your website. Once an Internet user gets to
your website, then he or she can purchase something from
your website. Design your ads to encourage a quick purchase
by the internet viewer. If the internet user buys something
from your website, then you will derive some added income
from that website. If they internet viewer makes a hasty
purchase, then you are better able to make money online
quick.

Still the ability to make money online quick is no
guarantee that you can keep that money. If a hasty purchase
proves unsatisfactory, the internet user is apt to want to
return the purchased item. A returned item would mean
returning to the buyer the money that was once obtained
quickly.

If your website offers something that people can download,
then that, too, is a way to make money online quick. You
could have people download music, a movie or even an entire
book. Such books are called e-books. Although it can take a
while to make, once created an e-book is an excellent way
to make money online quick.

Remember that the internet is used primarily as a source of
information. Most of the people who go online are in need
of some sort of information. If they can get all of the
information quickly, compiled in an e-book, then they are
apt to buy that e-book. You might then be able to celebrate
the fact that you have found a way to make money online
quick. Of course the speed with which you can make money
from an e-book will depend on your ability to market that
e-book. Tell all of your friends about your e-book.

Think about sending out an e-mail announcing its
availability. Many e-book writers put out a monthly
newsletter. In that newsletter they highlight the offerings
of their e-book. Newsletter readers learn about the
e-book. Some of the readers buy it. This helps the writer
to make money online quick.

Teleseminars: Content That Works

One of the most frequently asked questions asked about
teleseminars is, "What do I talk about?" Rephrased it is
"What content sells?"

Here are 5 ways to not only find something to talk about,
but also find a profitable topic as well.

1. Ask questions. Ask your potential audience what they
want to know. A simple ASK campaign is the fastest way to
get a lot of questions on your topic. It's also a great way
to judge whether or not a topic will sell. After all, if
you can get people to ask questions, then you'll be able to
get them to listen to the answers.

On the other hand, if you can't get any questions on the
topic, then it is not likely to "sell" as a teleseminar
topic.

Once you have your questions, then look for the themes. And
turn these themes into the top ten questions asked. Given
that, it's easy to craft your sales letter to highlight the
ten topics you'll discuss on the call.

2. Watch the news in your field. You may want to set up a
Google alert that keeps you informed of the latest news on
your topic. Watch the discussion forums to see what people
are discussing. You'll quickly pick up on the hot topics.

Now it's just a matter of deciding whether you want to set
up an ASK campaign to get the questions or set up an
interview with an expert to answer the questions. But
you'll know it will "sell", since it's already been
identified as a hot topic.

3. Look for experts in your field and interview them.
Everyone loves the idea of getting insider tips from the
experts. So look for those experts you would most like to
hear from and request an interview.

Most likely once you've settled on the topic you want to
interview them on, they will send a list of questions you
can ask on the interview. But don't be afraid to ask
additional questions or questions to clarify their answers.
That's what makes an interview interesting - those little
nuggets the host is able to pull out of the expert.

4. Look for problems. Listen to the conversations your
colleagues have to see what's bugging them. Watch the
discussion forums see what topics come up again and again.
What problems never seem to be solved?

Look for solutions to these common problems. Research and
find answers to present in a teleseminar format. That can
even be the start of a product, based on the teleseminar.

5. You pick the topic. You're already an expert in your
field. You know what questions people ask. You know what
they need to know to be successful in the field. Just list
the topics, then create a teleseminar series. Your first
teleseminar might be the "survey course," which covers all
of the topics at a very shallow depth. Then offer a paid
series that goes into each topic in depth. Not only will
you have an excellent home study course, but you'll also be
serving your clients by providing the information you know
they need.

If you ever find yourself asking "what can I talk about,"
just review this list for immediate ideas. You'll never run
out of topics again.
