Hi Everyone,

If you’ve ever heard of TheSecondTier you might wonder what all the hype is about. I’ve experienced a lot of affiliate programs and I got so tired of how little the companies seemed to care about me.

I was busting my butt to make serious sales for them and all they would give me was a few ads and emails and that was it. I’m not one to complain normally but come on here, throw me a bone.
As soon as I found out about Russell Brunson’s TheSecondTier I did a dance around my office (after I made sure no one was watching)!

Russell really knows what makes an affiliate happy and delivered it. TheSecondTier is an affiliate training center that, in addition to giving affiliates generous commissions for selling high-quality products, also trains them on HOW to become a successful affiliate.

I knew you’d be interested so I included a link to TheSecondTier so you could check it out:

The Second Tier

Russell’s innovative two tier system means more commissions for us. Here’s how it works. Say you refer one other person to TheSecondTier and they start cranking out sales, you’ll still get a commission check even if you didn’t make one sale that month. This was always the case, but recently, the site went under major renovations. To be honest, I felt like my arm was cut off for a few days while it was under construction but the wait was absolutely worth it! Now, with a completely redesigned user interface and more resources than ever before it is now the most important tool I use to boost my income dramatically.

I know that some people pay thousands to get into seminars where Russell teaches them how to become better affiliates and how to make more money on the web. But this is your chance to get FREE training from the expert and make some serious profits at the same time.

Again, here is the link where you can get your own personal account to TheSecondTier:

The Second Tier

And if you haven’t done any internet marketing before, don’t worry. After you create an account you’ll have access to training videos that will walk you through the step-by- step process of affiliate marketing.

So go ahead and do a little dance around your office too— I won’t laugh!

To your success,

David.

P.S. Check out the Affiliate Manager’s Blog. Brent and Garrett are very experienced and they have been posting their training there.

So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online. You too, like the others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs. Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far so good.

Whether you are promoting other people’s products or promoting your own products - that doesn’t matter because after all it is nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money. So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.

Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive, if you are cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then, it could be very profitable for you.

Take a close look at the industry, you will see that not every one who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure and take all security measures and understand its importance.

Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing. If you do not adopt proper security measures, then your business will be at high risk. One of the most important way to restore security is to protect your affiliate links. Do not take them for granted. A bit of carelessness on your part in regards to affiliate links may cost you a lot of dollars.

Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can create a lot of problems too! If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link does not function then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which will definitely put him or her off.

You could be a victim of even a worse situation. What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs. If they do that, then you get no commission at all.

Did I scare you off with all of the above possibilities? Well, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to open your eyes and state some facts that actually happen in the world of Internet. It happened to me until I came across ViralURL , that brought a revolution to my online ventures.

So, if you are not getting the desired results out of your affiliate marketing, don’t lose hope. There’s definitely a remedy to this problem and that is ViralURL.com

Do I hear you asking, what is it and how can it help in averting any adverse situation for an affiliate marketer like me?
Be patient and read on, if you love your business.

ViralURL is a link cloaker that protects you in the truest sense. There may be many unethical people lurking around, who might play with your affiliate links by cutting them off or replacing them with their own etc. How much effort you put in towards building your business and advertising your business, if your links are tampered with, then all your hard work will be rendered useless.

In order to avoid such a rip off, ViralURL gives you full protection and sees to it that your affiliate links never get exposed to others.

So save yourself from getting ripped off and get all the commissions to your account that you rightfully deserve. All this is made possible by ViralURL.com

It is a blessing for every affiliate marketer like you and me, who wants to achieve success in their endeavor.

Is ViralURL limited to only link protection?

NO!

It does much much more than that. Let’s see what ViralURL can do for us:

*ViralURL helps us in protecting commission.
*ViralURL helps in building mailing lists.
*ViralURL helps in tracking statistics.
*ViralURL helps in earning extra ad credits.

In short, ViralURL allows us to create massive business leverage.
I don’t see any negative aspect associated with ViralURL. All you have to do is join it for free, then cloak your links, promote them and see your business soaring higher and higher.

You can get all detailed information about the program from the site www.ViralURL.com . There, you can find several unsolicited testimonials from various users of ViralURL. So if you want to protect your business and see your earnings grow, try ViralURL. You have nothing to lose.

That's it for now. Take care!

If you haven't heard yet... James Grandstaff has released "Part 2" of his "Downline Secrets."

Before I get to my review, I thought I should play a little catch-up in case you have no clue as to what Downline Secrets "Part 1" is about. Basically with Downline Secrets part 1 you get free access to a recorded call between Mike Filsaime and James Grandstaff. Mike asks James questions about the success he had using InstantBuzz.com (a free advertising resource) to grow his downline.

You get access to the MP3 and PDF transcript of the call (which is nice because I don't always like to sit in front of my PC to read or listen to content. I can download to my iPod and listen from anywhere).

During the call James reveals how he used his free Instant Buzz traffic along with his (now proven) 3 step strategy to explode his downline into the thousands on complete auto pilot.

The cool part is he did it while maintaining his full time job as a PC support technician in Michigan.

And from there you have the opportunity to buy the same software that James developed to grow his downline and use it to grow your downline in any program you happen to be
involved in.

So all-in-all DownlineSecrets.com is a great site and offers a lot of great info for free on how to build your downline using the web.

What makes Downline Secrets "Part 2" so much better is that it takes over where Downline Secrets 1 left off.

What I mean is this...

With Downline Secrets 1 you were left to figure out all the technical stuff in order to duplicate James' results for your MLM business. The software and detailed videos are fantastic but you still have to come up with the web copy, the hosting, the HTML page design and so on... The yucky stuff.

Let's just say his target market is much smaller because if you don't have the much needed technical skills or the money to hire those with the skills, you are pretty much out of luck and can't fully benefit from the entire system he is teaching.

This time around you get access to a call between James Grandstaff and Chris Zavadowski who is also very successful in the MLM scene. He grills James for over an hour and gets all the must know secrets out of him.

The system James is offering this time is over the top! He covers all the technical stuff for us this time and everything is completely set-up. All the technical issues have been removed. This is great because more people can now truly benefit from his teachings and proven system.

Now, I want to let you in on something...

Once you register for the call below you will see an offer for James' Elite upgrade membership. All I can say is ==> TAKE IT!

It's only $47 bucks and for what you get it's simply mind blowing!

In a nut shell... he's offering you a professional designed lead capture page that gives away a customized version of his new manuscript called 'How to Get Rich Building a LAZY Downline!'

This PDF is first customized with your affiliate links to several "generic" MLM training resources. As you give this thing away you will earn commissions from those you refer who upgrade in any of the programs.

And since they're all MLM related, the conversion rates should be extremely high!

All you do is simply advertise the lead capture page via the special link you get and James' software sends an email to your prospects (with a link to your customized PDF)

Everything is on auto-pilot!

Oh, and don't worry, the traffic aspect is even handled for you. Be sure to check out the bonus that's included :-)

See, I told you this thing was awesome.

As you can see, I'm totally excited about this because it's refreshing to see a great product come along that is truly capable of changing the lives of others.

So yes, Downline Secrets 2 gets my highest recommendation!

Sign up below and buy everything ;-)

One of the things that you will hear more often than not is that free classified ad sites are a waste of time. You can never build a business on a site like that. Those statements are completely false. You can build your business with free classified sites and this article will show you how to do it in the quickest way possible.

First, there are millions of free classified ad sites out there and to be honest, only a handful of them are really worth your time. The reason for this is that those are kept up by their webmaster, while the other ones are really just up to take up space and nothing else really. Take a look at what you need to know about getting the most from free classified ad sites.

If you have a product to sell or promote, then classified ad sites are perfect if you go about it in the right way. One of the biggest mistakes people make is actually trying to sell the product in the ad. That’s a no-no. You want ads that get people to click on a link or request more information. This is vital for success with free classified ads. When people click on a link or request information, they are interested in your product. Even if they don’t buy right away, they could sign up for a newsletter or other things, which gives you a chance to sell to them again. Remember, the key is getting these people to ask for more information. Another big mistake people make is putting up these fancy ads with long detailed words. People don’t want to sit there and have to read a 40 to 50-word ad. Make it short and to the point. Drawing them in and getting them to take action is the key. Short ads work much better than long ads, so keep it short if you want to make sales eventually.

Free classified ad sites have been around since the start of the Internet and many have come and many have gone. Getting sales from classified ad sites takes work. It’s not easy compared to paid ads or other paid ways to go about it. If you’re on a budget, though, and you need a way to slowly build your business, there isn’t a better way to do it than classified ads. They are free and you usually can put up as many as you want. People will try and sway you from them, but do not discount them. Now this last tip is a must for free classified ad sites so follow it closely. Tracking your ads is a must. By tracking your ads, you will be able to tell who is clicking on your ad links and which ads get more clicks. This will also show you which classified ad sites are pulling people in and which ones are just a waste of your time and money.

So, you may wonder, where do you find a good high-ranking classified ads site? THBC's Adpost is a great classifieds site. Over 1,000,000 classified ads, broken down by country, city, and categories in an easy-to-use site. THBC's Adpost is one of the most popular online classifieds sites. It attracts more than 10,000,000 views every month and generates more than 10,000 ads and replies every day across its network.

Search engines are the gateway to the Internet; they are the first tool that potential customers use to find the products and services they need. This is why link popularity is so imperative. If the customers do not find your website, you have no possibilities of making any sales.

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 labor-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!

Today I've got something special for you.

Have you ever been faced with the task of having to write an email promotion to your list, and then realized that you didn't know what to say or how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen's new video course "Email Promos Exposed" promises to solve that problem for you by walking you through the actual process of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

I decided to see if Michael's videos live up to their promise by trying them out myself. Here's what I found:

Overall Quality

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the first video was the stunning production quality. He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which is now the industry standard for creating high-quality screen capture video products. The audio is near studio quality, and the graphics are very professional. These videos were made by someone who KNOWS what he's doing. Well done!
I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by section, and then again by sub-section. For example, one video is all about the subject line, and then there are different parts of that video that each cover a certain area of crafting a killer subject line.

Now let's move onto...

THE ACTUAL VIDEOS

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the wholecourse. You get to see a picture of Michael in his every day life, and he establishes his credibility right up front by talking about some of his massive successes online. He even provides proof of credibility by displaying two checks in the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove that, when it comes to the subject of making money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever you're teaching people how to do something, it's good to establish your credibility up front, so that there's no doubt about whether or not you're qualified to talk about the subject. Most product developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other marketer has bothered to mention. You'll learn things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer promo

* The different tools you need before you get started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing email promos... the subject line. The subject line is a confusing topic, because nobody's 100% sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 4 - THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when writing their emails. Michael talks about how important it is to create an opening that is conversational, and then reveals techniques and examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email once they've opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY

This is one of the "meatiest" portions of the course, because it reveals techniques that are not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in most eBooks. He talks about the importance of keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and then reveals how you can do that. You'll also learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body copy easy to read.

* The secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to use it in your email promos to force people to keep reading.

VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their email promos. They start out strong, but when it comes time to ask the reader to click the link and take action, they don't know what to say. Michael talks about some of his favorite techniques for making that happen, and also reveals:

* The "magic question" to ask yourself that will make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the "unanswered question" and why handling this is a surefire way to get people to act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most important parts of the email, because it is often the one thing that gets people to click the link at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.'s you can use
(this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some mistakes that I was making that I wasn't even aware of. Unless you're a seasoned pro, you're probably guilty of some of the things that Michael talks about in this video as well, and that's why it's so valuable. I've shaved years off my learning curve, because now I can avoid some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of money. Why? Because I used to only send out one email promo for each affiliate promotion I was doing. Michael showed me in this video how important it is to send a follow-up promotion,and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo's.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make the most money.

* How to overcome readers' objections in your follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REALmoney is on the back end. I'd have to agree with them, but the problem is... most people have no idea how to set up a back end system that makes money. This video will teach you how to set up an automated back end that's loaded with killer promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot. He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back end email promos.

VIDEO 11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the entire package for a lot of people, because most people email their list to promote other people's products as an affiliate. Let's face it, if you only have 3 products, can you really afford to only email your list 3 times a year? They'll get bored hearing about the same old products over and over again. This video sheds some light on how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different from regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret could cost you big money).

* Michael's favorite tactics for creating affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your affiliate promos (this is the most important section of the video, so make sure you watch it over and over again).

CONCLUSION

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there offer only watered down, weak content. Not this one! These videos are going on my "A-list" for a along time.

I've already watched them twice, and plan on reviewing them every couple months to make sure that I have the principals, techniques and tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your business (and in my opinion, it's the most important part of ANY online business), then you owe it to yourself to check out Michael's exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

Here's the URL where you can get instant free access to the videos right now.

One way to increase traffic to your site is through teaching a course. Choose a topic that you are well versed in, and write out step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. Then separate each part and include them in an autoresponder where emails can be sent out with your ads attached to the top or bottom of each page. You can also use your autoresponder service to invite visitors to join through an online form. The more that sign up, the more will discover your products and services.

A good way to get free advertising is to create your own directory. Use a specific industry topic and place your own ad or banner at the top. Then you can make it available for others to list themselves in your directory by inviting them to add links to their website through an exchange program. Soon your directory will grow and advance while links to your site can be found across the web. If you need a guide to help your setup process go smoothly, search for “link exchange software”.

Another strategy is to publish a significant e-zine that comes out monthly. The recommended method is with an Adobe .PDF file as a book format. Each issue could include several articles as well as features like industry tips, advice, popular sites or quotes. Take advantage of multimedia technologies and full-color graphics. You would then have the potential to charge a monthly rate as well as sell advertising spots.

Lastly, setting up your own “Tip of the Day” can be a great way to target your area of expertise. There are many ways to make this work to benefit your products and services. Here are a few of the ways: an autoresponder, a blog, an audio file, an RSS feed or even in a targeted box on your website. Have your tip include your own ad that is specific to your product or service that you are targeting. This will provide a subtle reminder of where to go to find out more.

If you find ways to customize Internet Marketing strategies to your products of services, you are likely to experience more traffic as well as sales. You will find that the Internet provides many affordable options to help expand your business.

Are you focusing your search engine optimization efforts on getting tons of traffic from the search engines?

If you answered yes, then I am about to tell you something completely different from other Internet Marketers.

Forget about getting tons of traffic from the search engines. Get LESS traffic that converts MORE!

The Secret to Turning Keywords into Conversions is to Keep Your Keywords Focused

For example, if your site sells an all-natural remedy for acid stomach problems...

You start to do your keyword research and you discover that the keyword phrase "natural remedies" has 288 daily searches. But it has over 2,000,000 sites competing for it.

While the phrase, "acid reflux natural remedies" has 67 daily searches with just over 11,000 competing sites.

Do you want to spend all your time and effort trying to optimize your website for the first keyword phrase?

You may get more searches, but you'll never know how many of those searchers want to buy your stomach acid remedy. Not to mention the HUGE number of competitors the keyword has!

Or would you go for the second term, which only has 67 people searching for it -- knowing those 67 people are looking for EXACTLY what you offer? And, it has a MUCH lower competition number to boot!

Obviously, the second term is better!

Sure, you might get less traffic -- but the visitors you DO get will be MUCH more likely to buy your product.

Why You Will Make More Money with Less Traffic That Converts More

People search the Internet to find a solution to a problem and not necessarily to buy something. So what problems will they solve by coming to your website?

Think of a keyword as a "problem statement" that someone would type into the search engines.

When you can match your keywords to the exact problems they're trying to solve. You'll attract the BEST visitors to your site so you can focus all your optimization efforts on them!

Here are some more keyword research tips that will help you turn keywords into conversions…

Top Search Engine Optimization Tips for Finding Highly Focused Keywords That Will Bring the Absolute Best Buyers to Your Website:

Check your server logs. See what keyword phrases people are actually using to find your site. If there's something relevant that you've overlooked, build a page focused on that keyword phrase.

Also look for keywords that are causing people to leave right away because they're not finding what they're looking for. Ditch those keywords immediately.

Look for "intention." Say you sell cross-country ski equipment. People can come to your website looking for different things.

For instance:
They're looking to buy a specific product
They're looking for product reviews
They want information on how to get started in cross-country skiing
They want used or discount equipment
They want to know what kind of equipment will be best for them
They want to know what's new and hot in cross-country ski equipment

Same products -- far different intentions!

If you optimize a page (or pages) for each different problem people are trying to solve, you'll give them what they're looking for…

That means they'll stay on your site longer -- and you'll have a better chance of getting them into the sales process.

Check out your competition. What keywords are your competitors optimizing for, and on what pages?

You can spy on them by going to their websites and looking at their code!
In your web browser, just go to View on the main menu and click on Source or Page Source to "look under the hood" of any competitor's site. Then you can see what they're doing right and what you could do better.

Find your best keywords with pay-per-click advertising. This is the fastest way to find out just how well different keywords perform.

Pay-per-click lets you run ads based on two or three different keywords at the same time. This enables you can track which ones convert best. Make sure the ads click through to pages that relate directly to the keywords.

Focus your SEO efforts on the specific keywords that describe EXACTLY what problem each page solves. Don't be tempted by more general keywords with higher traffic numbers. They'll never send you the traffic you want.

Follow these search engine optimization tips and you will turn keywords into conversions.

When you hear "eBay" and "money" in the same sentence your probably think of becoming an eBay seller.

You place product listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left is your profit margin.

There is, however, another way to build a business which still revolves around eBay but which doesn’t involve you selling a single thing in the eBay
marketplace.

This "other way" opportunity is based on the eBay affiliate program and a great tool which makes entry into this opportunity not only possible but also super easy. This tool is called "Build
A Niche Store".

Now if you don’t know – an affiliate program enables you as an individual internet entrepreneur to promote the products of a company in exchange for a commission on all sales that you refer.

You are basically operating as an internet middleman and connecting internet browsers to particular products and companies through you own network of websites and marketing methods.

If we return to the eBay affiliate program, eBay actually invites you to promote all of the product listings in the eBay marketplace and in exchange for your efforts will pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from each sale you refer plus up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer.

You can have a read about the eBay.com affiliate program here

What this means is that you can earn up to three quarters of eBay’s revenue simply for connecting people to the products listed in the eBay marketplace.

Not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world, you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping or process refunds.

You are no longer limited to selling only those products which you can buy and sell for a profit margin. You can choose ANY niche market and promote those eBay products relevant to your chosen niche outside of the eBay marketplace, funnelling targeted traffic through to eBay and into your own affiliate commissions.

Golf clubs, sewing kits, laptops, dog collars, diamond rings, Florida real estate…

If you know eBay you know how BIG it is – there are NO limits.

At this point you might be thinking - well this sounds interesting but in reality is there any money in it? Well, here’s the shocker – eBay's top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month. That’s right – 8 figures a year without stocking, selling or shipping a single thing!

Now eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay affiliate and build an affiliate business BUT it has been the development of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business opportunity.

The tool, as I mentioned earlier, is called "Build A Niche Store" and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay.

Here are a couple of examples, one targeting Race Cars and the other Golf Equipment:

Race Car eBay Affiliate Website

Golf eBay Affiliate Website

As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.

These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc.

Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website targeted to the niche market of your choice.

Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn mean more eBay affiliate commissions.

It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime access to when you purchase the product.

Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access, comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as you want for the small one time fee.

Think about how many niches eBay caters to!

How big could your eBay affiliate business be?!

There are some search engine optimization techniques that will always benefit you in one way or another. One of these techniques that has been around for a very long time is known as article marketing. Of course, many people are familiar with the term Bum Marketing but really, all this is is a glorified form of article marketing. The concept itself is very simple to understand. You write articles that are topical in nature about your particular niche and then you distribute them to the various article directories on the Internet. The benefit to you? You get to put at least one link back to your website in the bio box of the article.

Most article directories will require anywhere from 250 to 400 words for every article that you submit. For most people, they tend to go for the minimum number of words in order to submit the most amount of articles in a short period of time. There is a lot of method to this madness and it certainly is true that by submitting multiple articles, you will also be able to gain multiple links into your website. Many people also write variations of their articles for the different article directories and they do this for a specific reason. There is a school of thought that says that Google will discount articles that are duplicate and may not count the links back into your website from these duplicate articles.

Article submissions to these directories are great and they are a perfect way for you to gain some back links and to get the search engines interested in your website. They do have their limitations, however, and many of them do not allow linking to your website within the article itself. For this reason, Google may not give that much weight to articles that have the link at the bottom of the article and not in the body of the article. That is why another method of article marketing comes into play, one that can get you some of the best links that are available on the Internet.

It is often difficult to get websites to link back to you, especially if they have a lot of weight in the eyes of Google. It is possible, however, that you can get a link back to your website in exchange for writing some original content for use on their website. Of course, you're never going to know unless you ask so try writing some of these website owners with your offer of free, original content in exchange for a link back to your website. You will probably be pleasantly surprised with the number of webmasters that will take you up on your offer.

Writing articles is an excellent way to get exposure for your website and to begin compiling links that will help you in the free search engine listings. If you are persistent in your efforts and you do things the right way, you will be surprised at exactly how far this type of marketing can take you.

Location, Location, Location! Location is everything in advertising. In order for your solo ads to be effective, you need to find the best places to place them. You need to make sure that your ads do not end up becoming a waste of resources.

Choosing the best places to place your solo ads means choosing locations where your ads can cause maximum impact. The effectiveness of the ad is often dependent upon its location. After all, a truly great ad, if kept locked in a trunk is totally useless to a business. So how exactly does one go about choosing the best places to place solo ads?

1) Population
When choosing the best places to place solo ads, it is always important to try and predict how many people will actually get to see your ad. You need to place your solo ad where the most number of people can see it. This means that you have a bigger chance of attracting business through that ad. Most companies today prefer to place ads on the internet because of the exposure that the technology offers. Choosing the best place to place solo ads requires keen observation of the population. You need to see where people go the most. This will help you determine the best places to place your solo ads.

2) Competition
Of course, it wouldn't do to place your solo ads in locations dominated by the competition. In finding the best places to place solo ads, you need to make sure that you get a fair chance of promoting your own business. There is something to be said, however, in favor of people who have the guts to challenge established businesses through conquering their advertising space. Advertising is like a chess game; you need strategy in order to win. By studying your competition, you could actually gain a few insights regarding the best places to place solo ads.

3) Market behavior
You need to study how your market thinks and acts. In doing so, you will be able to determine the best places to place solo ads. Advertising is not really just about placing your ads where the most people can see them. You have to place those ads where they can make the biggest impact. What is the state of mind of a person when he or she is at a certain place? What in fact is his or her purpose in going to that place? Does his state of mind and behavior prepare him or her for the solo ad? These are the questions that you need to ask in order to figure out the best places to place solo ads. You will realize that there are certain places which, despite the amount of traffic going through them, are inadvisable to place advertisements in. One such place is public comfort rooms. The mindset of a person just tends to reject solo ads that he or she finds in a comfort room.

4) Environment
When choosing the best places to place solo ads, you need to consider the actual place itself. Are there elements in the environment which would render your ads meaningless? Knowing this will actually help you check if there are things you can do to adapt the solo ad to the environment. If you choose to place a solo ad in an ezine or a magazine, you might want to check the various articles which will surround your ad.

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE!

A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an “oversight” on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.

And no, nothing about his “secret” is illegal – nor does it require that you know someone on the “inside” at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it.”

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses – all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses “I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …”

So powerful is his secret that he’s able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines – but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.

Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.

One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret “Wow! Ha! This is really unique … and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!”

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years’ period of time since applying his secret he’s done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really “buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential.”

Now to everyone else’s fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he’s not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says “We’ll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things.”

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret “he’s already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it’s still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this.”

Just imagine what this could do for your business. Click Here to learn more about the Secret or click on the image below.

…so you may want to head on over there now and get it.

It’s in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you’re there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?
