The Art of Creating More Links in Search Engines & Making Money

The Art of Creating More Links in Search Engines & Making Money
This is for you if you feel you don't get enough hits to
your website or you don't have enough links in the search
engines to your website or you are simply not getting the
sales you want.

If you submit your website to the search engines that is
fantastic but, you may just find that you need more than a
couple of references to your site to get the hits and
sales. To do this you need to create backlinks.

A backlink is where you submit an advertisement or a
article to a number of sites that get indexed by the search
engines. This in turn gives you literally thousands of
links back to your website.

For example if you type my name "Katherine Quirke" in
Google the first 20 pages are linked direct to my online
businesses! Why? because I actively create backlinks for my
websites.

While this may sound like something to put in the too hard
basket think again. It is not difficult and you don't need
to learn much to do it. All you need is a couple of hours
to setup and after that you don't need to spend more than
an hour a week promoting your website to the search engines
via backlinks.

So how can this be done so easily? Lets take articles just
like this one. Articles are sought after content to place
in websites, blogs and for general learning. Articles are
submitted to ezines - online magazines. These eZines are
loaded with information that you can use or discard at your
leisure. They also contain information about business and
web links. eZine articles are the most powerful form of
getting backlinks to the search engines. This is because
there are thousands of people looking to learn and to learn
from you.

Writing an article is quite easy. If you have the knowledge
about a topic and you can write a letter you can write an
article for publishing in an eZine.

There are a number of ways you can publish to ezines. One
is subscribe and submit your article individually or use a
article submission service and publish to hundreds of
ezines in one click.

This article is being published to hundreds of eZines in
one click via an article submission service. I can then
monitor how many people read it and publish it to their
website. Publishing your articles individually is extremely
time consuming and you cannot monitor how popular the
article is.

Once your article is approved and published the eZine is
scanned by the search engines and you will see your article
and subsequent links in the search engines often within
days.

The second most effective way of getting your website into
the search engines as a backlink is via forums. You can
join hundreds and thousands of web based forums and write
to them. Here again it is a time consuming job to do this
individually. You can however write a number of postings
for the forums and submit in one click.

Forums, just like eZines are regularily searched and
indexed to the search engines. Not only will you get people
interested on the Forum sites about what you have to say
you will get the double dip of being found in the search
engines.

Finally the biggest advantage of submitting articles to
eZines and postings to forums is......

The more your site gets clicked on the more popular it is
and the higher the Google Ranking will be!

The best thing of all you get the chance to share your
knowledge with the world while building your business.
There is nothing more rewarding!

Blessings and Happy Business Building.

5 "Must Have" Factors for a Profitable and Dynamic Business Opportunity

5 "Must Have" Factors for a Profitable and Dynamic Business Opportunity
As a personal development coach and counselor, and former
investment advisor I have people asking me for my advice
all the time. So I'd like to spend a couple of minutes here
to give you my opinion regarding what to look for in a home
based business. There are five things I look at when trying
to find a quality home based business.

The first one is you need to know about the product - Is
this a product you would buy even if there was not a
business opportunity behind it. Something you would be
comfortable telling other people about and not be
embarrassed, something that stands alone, that you would
use on an ongoing bases.

The second thing you need to look at is the pay plan. The
pay plan is very important, especially if you are going to
be putting 20-30 hours in, maybe extra hours over and above
what you are doing for your job. You want to be able to
make some real money and be able to make it quickly.

If I make $20 dollars a month out of the gate and I have to
keep buying more and more products to make more money -
that's not what I consider a good pay plan. I want to be
able to make money right away and it has to be big money. I
don't want to be making $15, $20 or $100 dollars a month. I
want to be making thousands. I think I am worth it and the
business opportunity needs to be worth it.

The third important factor is the company. It can't be a
fly-by-night company or a brand new company that no one has
ever heard of before. You don't want a company that just
came out with some lotion or health potion. It needs to be
a viable business and a viable company that you know is
going to be around if you are going to be putting all that
energy into it.

The fourth important factor is personable automation. I
don't know about you, but I didn't want to leave my 9-5 job
by starting a business that required 40 hours a week or
more. I wanted something I could automate. Something that
I could put on autopilot once I got things set up. What
good is a lot of money if I can't get away to enjoy it. So
the business needs to have a system to make sales even when
I am vacationing in Hawaii.

Having said that, I add a big caution. There are some
businesses out there that say that they have a system that
puts everything on autopilot. You never have to speak to
anyone, you don't need to know the product, and you don't
need to do any work. The system will do all of it. Well
that's just not going to happen. The greatest strength
about automation is also its Achilles heal. At some point
you do need some personal contact. And that brings me to
my last point

There needs to be real people available to help you build
your business. A lot of people go into a business only to
discover that the person who brought them into the business
is hiding behind an internet site. You don't really know
who they are. Or maybe its somebody who is not really in
business. They just joined something and in thirty days
they're gone. And you are left asking yourself "Who the
heck is going to help me?" Make sure there is a real
person who you can call and email who will be there to
support you. Know that there is someone who is willing to
invest in you to help build your business, someone who will
be there for you.

Those are my five "Must Have" Factors for a Profitable and
Dynamic Business Opportunity I hope this has been helpful
as you think about which home based business you would like
to get into. And if you ever have any questions or want to
find out more about what businesses I recommend, contact me
and I'd love to discuss it with you.

EDC Diamond-Scam And Business Review

EDC Diamond-Scam And Business Review
Are you looking into the program EDC Diamond and trying to
figure out if it's a scam or not? This article will provide
you with an fair review of the company

The Originators

Originators Craig Garcia & Michael Corcoran launched Easy
Daily Cash or EDC in Feb. 2006. EDC Gold was their next
launch in Nov. 2006.

Products

EDC members produce their income by selling software and
eBooks online. They are the traditional products including
web templates, creating websites, article submission, email
marketing, using Ebay, WebAudio plus, blog marketing, and
affiliate programs.

Price To Join

There are 3 levels to the program:

A) EDC Gold priced at $997, $49.95 monthly admin fee

B) EDC priced at $297, $39.95 monthly admin fee

C) Your New Fortune priced at $69.95, no monthly fee

EDC Diamond is the newest level to be added to EDC. The
price to join this level is $2497, plus $79.95 per month.

The Compensation Outline

The company has a modified 2-Up pay plan. This means that
you have to give up (2) sales to your sponsor. This is a
difficult compensation plan for an online beginner related
to the fact that once the sponsor has profited from their 2
pass up sales, the newbie breaks away from them. What
reason would they have to help coach you when they are no
longer making any money off of you? It is to their
superiority to help their other new members earn their
first 2 sales that they will get paid on, but after that
you are on your own.

Closing

While EDC Gold and EDC Diamond are not a scam, there are
some encumbrances to the program. The biggest factor that
is problematic is with the EDC comp plan. As stated before,
the 2-Up plan is not ideal for building team synergy. As a
sponsor, you want to be able to coach someone and then be
rewarded for your coaching efforts. However, after the
sponsor make money off of their member's first 2 sales,
they break away from the sponsor. There is no longer any
reason for the sponsor to coach their members.

The other problem is directly related to the first. A huge
factor for begining internet marketers to be successful is
choosing the right coach to guide them. This is the first
step to attaining success with online marketing for the
beginner marketer. However, after the member breaks away
from their sponsor in a 2 up plan, the guidance and
coaching will more than likely cease as well. After that
happens, the sponsor is actually in direct competition with
the member.

The Deadliest Email List Disease And How To Cure It

The Deadliest Email List Disease And How To Cure It
"I rarely encourage clients to sell via one-step, because
leads; people who've raised their hands can have so much
value worked well over time." - Dan Kennedy.

There's an absolute wealth of marketing wisdom in Dan's
statement. It's impossible to do justice to all of it in
this short space. So lets get into it and give you some
important food for thought...

You'll decide to either market to a list, or not. And I
know that some marketers just don't want to be bothered
with list generation, for a variety of reasons. That's
fine. So if you're sitting on the fence about it... just
understand that you can be walking away from a LOT of money
if you don't have a list.

If you take your business seriously, then you already know
the life-time value of your customers. How much revenue the
average customer will bring to you over the time they're
doing business with you.

Armed with that knowledge, you're able to know exactly how
much you can spend to acquire new leads. The smartest
marketers know how to break-even to build their lists. And
they also know how much that new lead will be worth over
time.

Notice how Dan worded his statement...

"...so much value worked well over time."

The key phrase there is, 'worked well.' I'll tell you
something. Many businesses flat out do not get it in that
area. When their lists either die from attrition, or become
unresponsive, it becomes the business kiss of death. And
then they wonder what happened.

Simply no excuse for it because it's SO easy to prevent.
You just need to know how to do that.

I'm sure many of you know about the Law of Reciprocity.
Simply stated, giving someone something... or doing
something for another person, will compel them to feel
obligated to do something for you. Of course, that
'something' for you is giving you business.

But stop and think about this for a moment...

People online have come to expect the freebie. The free
report, white paper, short ebook... whatever, in exchange
for contact information and your continued marketing
efforts. It has become a standard for doing business
online. Unfortunately this expectation has only served to
dilute, if not eliminate, the power of reciprocity. And if
your freebie is poor, then you can almost forget any
compelling feelings to give you something in return. You'll
immediately become bland and boring because you'll be
lumped in that vague group of online businesses that all
look the same. Or worse...

People will label you as a scam, or just someone who wants
to make a fast buck. But...

All is certainly not lost... IF you provide good quality
information. And you can still harness reciprocity's power
in your marketing. How?

By continuing to provide information of high perceived
value in your follow-up emails. But do it with a twist and
some common sense. Just think about human nature and it'll
become clear.

First... spark intrigue. Create some suspense and the
desire for more. One way to do that is by NOT revealing
everything. Don't give the farm away in your free reports
and ebooks. Now this isn't anything new. But I'll tell you
something I've seen a lot.

I've seen free reports and ebooks that offered lots of good
information. But they failed to create any burning desire.
There was no sense of intrigue. No sense of, "I gotta know
more about this NOW!"

Let me ask you... when you see a newspaper ad selling
whatever, and there's a picture of an attractive woman
wearing a bikini... does that picture make you want to buy?

NO! Probably doesn't. You see that so much people become
blind to it... for the most part. It has no selling value.
Or, for lots of guys maybe it might catch their attention.
They might check out the hot girl and then move on.

You can be regarded as a respectful, professional marketer
simply by treating your list with respect. That means NOT
bombarding with a constant stream of, "You Gotta Check This
Out NOW!" Don't beat them up with constant, hard selling.

Keep a continuous rapport with them. Talk to them. Give
them substance and good information while sparking an
intense desire to know more. Share your self with them and
they'll come to think of you as something more than a
marketer.

I've been marketing to lists for many years. And I've had
subscribers stay with me for almost as long. It's a skill
you can learn and develop. And done right, with the right
backend offers... you'll take your bottom line to whole new
levels.

How to Make Income on the Internet Using Affiliate Programs

How to Make Income on the Internet Using Affiliate Programs
Most of us have heard or read about people making a fortune
for themselves doing no more than starting up a couple of
websites. While these stories seem far fetched and
impossible to accomplish, it is more than possible for
anyone to make income online without ever having to sell a
product for themselves.

This may sound hard to accomplish and difficult to achieve,
but there are plenty of people who are earning income
online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Affiliate programs allow us to market their products to the
entire world and pay us commissions for sales or referrals
to their programs.

Since the internet has expanded to its enormous size world
wide and is growing in popularity still, affiliate programs
are allowing web owners and marketers to earn a substantial
income online. Making money using affiliate programs is
not as hard as it may seem, but it will take a good amount
of tedious effort and focus to be successful.

To start earning an income online using affiliate programs,
there are a couple of different options. We'll cover two
options here.

First of all, using an existing website. If you are
currently using a website for any reason and at least have
a substantial amount of consistent traffic, you can take
that website and make it a money maker with affiliate
programs. Look for an affiliate program that matches the
content of the site. For example, if you have a website
that discusses various aspect of movies and movie plots,
search for an affiliate program that sells videos. There
are plenty of different affiliate programs that match
thousands of niches, so the odds are good for finding one
that fits your needs.

It is crucial to find an affiliate program that fits well
with the theme of your site. You do not want a program
that completely takes away and detracts from your site.

If you are starting new and building your own site, you can
either find affiliate programs first and then tailor your
site around the program or programs you select, or you can
select a niche, build a site, then find relevant programs
that fit that site.

Starting new and building traffic will take time so you
have to remain patient but persistent with your efforts.
It is key to build your website with fresh unique content
and content that will have your visitors not only
interested in what you have to offer, but what the
affiliate programs offer as well. You want to build your
website so your visitors will want to click on the
affiliate links and visit their links as well as yours.

It is important to keep in mind that you don't want the
affiliate links to direct sell them the product. This is
crucial. The sales page for the affiliate should subtlety
inform them and then sell the product. If your visitor
sees the price right away, it may scare them off. Inform
and make them think they need the product before selling it
to them.

Adding fresh content consistently will bring traffic over
time and really anyone who applies consistent effort can
make an income online.

Top 5 Ways To Benefit From Universal Search

Top 5 Ways To Benefit From Universal Search
What is Universal Search and Why Should You Care?

Universal Search combines all the information within its
Vertical engines/databases into one index to serve a single
set of SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

An example of Vertical engines/databases are Google News,
Google Video, Google Images etc.

What this means is when you go to www.google.com, (their
most highly trafficked domain) and do a search, rather than
just getting websites from their main index, you will also
get results from the News, Images, Video, etc databases as
well. It is a more comprehensive results page.

Google Vice President of Search Products and User
Experience Marissa Mayer said the company's goal for
universal search is to create "a seamless, integrated
experience to get users the best answers."

Sometimes the information you are looking for is best
delivered by video, or images or a news story. Currently
you would have to search each of the Vertical
engines/databases to get all the information. Google is
planning to integrate it into one search engine.

As a searcher this means easier access to various forms of
information with only one search. It seems like a good
thing, as long as the results are easily organized on the
page. It could mean more scrolling to get to the different
areas of results, depending how they lay it out.

What To Do and Why

Changes with the search engines can sometimes be confusing.
There is a lot of information to evaluate and some
decisions to be made. Before you decide anything, you need
to understand what your options are.

If your site isn't already properly optimized for organic
rankings, that would be the place to start. You want to
make sure you have clean, search engine friendly code and a
solid foundation, as well as on-page optimization. This
would be the starting point, without this in place you have
no hope of competing in the engines - with or without
Universal Search.

If your site is already properly and aggressively optimized
then you are in good shape to build on that and benefit
from Universal Search.

Since Universal Search will take information from the
Verticals (like images, press releases, videos, audios,
Blog postings, etc) you want to make sure that you have
some exposure in each of those areas.

Imagine someone does a search for what you have to offer,
and in the Universal Search results your webpage comes up.
In the same search your competitor's site comes up PLUS
your competitor has video, images and Blog posts as well. A
searcher is more likely to click on your competitor's site
since more of the total number of results that come up will
belong to your competitor.

The other factor is the layout of the results page. We
don't know yet how it will play out. If Google mixes all
the results together (ex: videos, web pages, Blog posts,
images, etc all come up intermingled) that creates one
scenario. It means you aren't competing apples to apples
for the top spot. It could be video in the 1st position and
you are hoping to get your web pages ranked in the 1st
position.

Another way of delivering the results would be to group
them by category. They could list all the Blog results,
then all the video results under that, and then all the
image results under that, etc.

If that is the case, you want to have something listed in
each category section because if you happen to have a
ranking in the last category section but nothing higher on
the page, you are not likely to get a click.

What you really need to do in addition to adding content
and optimizing your site, is also focus on getting
something in the other Verticals.

Top 5 Ways To Participate in Universal Search

1. Google Image Search: It has always been a good idea to
use images on your site for illustrating your products and
services. Now customers can find your site via Google Image
Search. Optimize your images with descriptive, keyword-rich
file names and ALT tags. Use accurate descriptions of your
image files for the benefit of those who might need to view
the site in text only format.

2. Google Video (beta): Use descriptive, keyword-rich file
names for your video files. Also create a keyword-rich
title tag, description tag, and video site map.

3. Google News: Submit your press releases for display as
news, and also as a new content page on your site.

4. Google Maps: AKA Google Local - this has been included
in Google search results for a while. Give your site a
local presence through the Google Maps Local Business
Center where local businesses can get a free basic listing
to extend their reach in the SERPs.

5. Google Blog Search (beta): Use social media and Blog
engines to drive traffic to the site. Submit to the Google
Blog search and have your Blog help boost you in the new
world of Universal Search.

With a better understanding of the options, it becomes
clear that in order to increase your exposure in the search
engines and get new traffic you need to be proactive in
anticipation of these Universal Search changes. Don't wait
until it is too late and you are scrambling to catch up.

A Review of the True Wealth Today Gifting Program

A Review of the True Wealth Today Gifting Program
There are a lot of different money making systems out there
and some of them are pretty tricky. One of these programs
is called the True Wealth Today Gifting Program. This is a
program that has no product or service and really is a big
mystery as far as what exactly it is. It is said that you
can make a lot of money with this kind of program.

Nobody really knows what they are. They are really good at
getting people to fork over thousands of dollars in hopes
of making a fortune from this program. When it comes down
to it, True Wealth Today makes their money by giving people
hopes and dreams. Fortunately, these hopes and dreams have
actually had come true for many different people.

What They Do

Once again, it is unclear exactly what True Wealth Today
does. They have no product. It seems that the whole program
is based on getting other people to sign up and pay the
large fee to sign up, which is the reason they are making
money. When you get someone to sign up; you get paid. The
objective is to get as many people to join the program as
they can. They use the members that sign up to do most of
that for them.

How you Make Money

You have to sign up with them at one of three different
levels with True Wealth Today. The entry level is $500.00
and it costs $3500.00 to get into all three levels that
they offer. Normally people that end up signing up fork
over the entire $3500.00. With that said, they must sound
really good to be able to get people to join their program.
The way you make money is by getting leads and answering
phone calls from your leads. You have to work on getting
leads and getting people to call the 1800 number that you
have to purchase as well. When you get people to sign up,
that is when you start making money. If you can get a lot
of sign ups, then you can make a large amount of money.
Some have been known to make $20,000.00 in just a week or
two.

What We've Heard

There have been a lot of bad reviews about True Wealth
Today, but there as also been some people that have made a
ton of money. If you get the leads, then you are going to
make the money. If you do not then you are going to loose
$3500. That is why it is really a love hate situation for
the members of this program. It is said to be risky, but
what program like this isn't?

It may not be the best program to join if you want minimal
risk. If you do have the money sitting around and you want
