			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="file:///C:/Users/Karen/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><strong>In my opinion, one is good, both is better; so I suggest you focus on both!</strong></p>
<p>The reality is this; you need visitors to your website to build your list of prospects to approach with your offers. However, you will generate free traffic to your site from reaching the # 1 position with Google and search engines. This is even more relevant for product launches and if you target relatively popular keywords.</p>
<p><strong>Here is an overview on some important aspects to consider:<span id="more-334"></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>RANKING</strong> &#8211; if you are promoting a product soon to be launched, focusing on rankings is an easy way to generate free traffic. This is due to the fact that you can choose the product name as your keyword phrase and focus on it when there is almost no competition for that phrase; and if you know what to do you can get your website ranking # 1 with Google in a matter of days. This will allow you to get easy sales from the free targeted traffic that will be generated by the buzz when super-affiliates promote the product to their huge lists. The best way to achieve high rankings for a product launch is promoting a review page or a bonus page (that complements the product to be launched).</p>
<p>When using ranking as a way to target free visitors to your main website, make sure your site is SEO optimized by having keywork phrases that are popular; that is to say that a great number of people search for them. Don&#8217;t bother getting to the top search result for a keyword string that has very low search volume &#8211; it will get your site ranking high, but it won&#8217;t lead to free traffic. Lets say, if only 50 people search for that keyword a month, you will be hard pressed to get many new visitors at all!</p>
<p><strong>FREE TRAFFIC </strong>- you can drive free traffic to your website by using a combination of strategies including, Article and Video Marketing, Bookmarking, RSS feeds, Pinging and Social Media. It is advantageous to use video marketing as part of your overall marketing plan because with organic searches, videos are now included in Google search results. This is relevant because as video directories are crawled more frequently, your videos are indexed a lot faster than any other content and you can have it directing visitors to your site right away.</p>
<p><strong>THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS</strong> &#8211; In order to achieve maximum results, I personally utilize -and recommend- using all these free strategies. Interlinking everything to boost each other&#8217;s ranking and credibility in the eyes of the search engines and ultimately drive traffic to your main site.</p>
<p>To clarify, your articles should include a link to a related page in your website where there is relevant content (ie. a related article), rather than only to the home page. If you do this, you can boost the ranking for that particular page &#8211; which is a strategy used in promoting a review page within your blog for example. In addition to this, I also recommend that you do a video that points to your article; that in turn points to your page so that you can take advantage from the video being indexed sooner. And if you want to boost the ranking of your video, make sure that a related article directs readers to your video, which in turn links to your page or a related article that refers people to your website &#8211; see how it all comes together? That is how you can link everything to promote a specific page (and its keyword).</p>
<p>After your articles and videos are under way, make sure that you bookmark and ping the new content as it will alert search engines that updated content has been added to your site. This will ensure their crawlers come to check it faster. Also, using RSS Aggregators that will distribute your new content to the various related directories, is an excellent strategy as it feeds your information to other websites and encourages many interested readers to visit your site.</p>
<p>It is virtually impossible to achieve this without the relevant software to help automate certain processes. A software package that I strongly recommend is<strong> <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/go/linkdozer" target="_blank">Link Dozer</a></strong>, which can spin and submit your articles, do your bookmarking, rss, pinging and includes a great many more features all on auto-pilot.</p>
<p>One piece of advice though, it is important to write quality articles to &#8217;spin&#8217; when you are trying to get additional visitors to your website. If you fail to offer unique and valuable content, it is unlikely that anyone would be interested enough to go by your website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you want to write an ad that sells, build strong relationships with your customers or encourage your employees to perform at their best in order to grow your business; copy-writing is at the core of any effective communication that prompts people to take action and is a skill that MUST be acquired if you want to be successful in any business. <strong><a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/affilorama-premium-2010/affilorama-premium-2010-review" target="_blank">Affilorama Premium</a></strong> provides an excellent training program that includes copywriting skills and is particularly targeted to online marketing.</p>
<p>Copywriting involves writing a message that is persuasive, conversational and believable. In essence, you will have to tell a compelling story that grabs the reader’s attention and engages them emotionally so that they respond the way you want them to.  <span id="more-313"></span>Because of this, many view copywriting as manipulative; but it doesn’t have to be.  It is a very powerful way of communication, but it doesn’t have to be the blatant, disrespectful and manipulative ugly messages that we unfortunately come across all too often.</p>
<p><strong>For your copywriting to be successful you must consider the following key elements:</strong><br />
<strong><br />
Add Value To Your Message</strong> – the information you provide should be perceived as valuable. I am not talking about monetary value, but the kind that can turn a person who knows nothing about you, into someone who would want to buy from you.  Creating value in your communications doesn’t apply just to a sales letter, but to all kinds of writing, from a blog post to a customer service email, or your response to a complaint.</p>
<p><strong>Here are just some ideas that will help you add value:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Tell a story that your reader will relate to. To do this successfully place yourself in their shoes; where are they coming from?, what are they likely to be thinking about or Feeling?</li>
<li>Explain things simply. Even when writing about something technical, avoid jargon and use simple words to explain things more easily.</li>
<li>Convey emotions, if you present your message well, with emotions that connect to your reader or viewer they should see that what you are offering will add value to their lives (ie solve a problem, make life easier, increase their profits&#8230;) you get the picture.</li>
<li>Tell your readers/viewers the actions you want them to take step-by-step. Make it fun, fast, simple and you will benefit from higher conversion rates – whether it is for an opt-in list or a purchase</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Focus on Benefits</strong> &#8211; facts come across as cold and impersonal (and sometimes even boring!), so it is best to focus on benefits because people prefer more warm and personal communication; but don’t overdo it. This again applies to any communication and not just a sales letter or an advertisement.</p>
<p><strong>If you are having trouble differentiating benefits from features, let me give you an example: </strong></p>
<p>Think of a diamond as being the product. The number of carats, for example, is a feature. The benefits, however, can be how the product will make you feel, how it will change your view of the person who gave it to you or even how others regard you because you now wear the diamond ring!</p>
<p>In business, a benefit will generally describe something that moves your prospect away from pain, or from frustration to pleasure, or how your service will help them achieve&#8230;  you fill in the blank.  It is important that you master this distinction, because people rarely buy based on features, most buying decisions are highly emotional and people buy on benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Copywriting on Websites</strong> – in online marketing, content writing for websites is also referred to as Copywriting. In this case the main objective is to optimize the content for higher ranking with search engines by strategically placing selected keywords throughout the content, but the key here is to make sure that it comes across as natural.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Search Engine Optimization</strong> remains to a great extent a strategy used  correctly only by experts internet marketers; because of its complexity.</p>
<p>This is an excellent strategy that is mostly beneficial for promoting  product launches as it can generate tons of free visitors to your site. However  if successfully implemented, SEO strategies are the best way to generate easy  sales with product launches. To profit from a product launch you will need to  implement the strategies and techniques used by the pros in order to be  competitive. A great source of relevant information is <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/affilorama-premium-2010/affilorama-premium-2010-review" target="_blank">AFFILORAMA  PREMIUM 2010 REVIEW</a>.<span id="more-285"></span></p>
<p><strong>To successfully optimize your website for a  product launch you must choose the correct keyword string.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you are  doing a product launch, your first keyword option should be the product name.  Consider brand, model, etc to give you a less competitive long tail keyword. As  launch day approaches there will be more people searching for the product by  name and you can take advantage of free traffic if your site has top  ranking.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Select a Long Tail or Buyer Keyword -A benefit of using long  tail keywords is that people searching for them are more likely to be buyers. If  people search for the full product name including brand, model, program,  edition, etc. as relevant, because people searching that specifically will  likely be buyers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Search Volume &#8211; lets you see how many searches  per month are for your keyword, this way you will roughly know how many visitors  you can expect if your site ranks high.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Most names of products yet to be  launched will have low search volumes unless they are an updated version of an  existing product of the same name, in which case you can benefit from some  existing traffic.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Keyword Competition &#8211; check the competition for your  keyword so you know how likely it will be for your site be reach top rankings  with Google. Keep in mind that long tail keywords will have far less competition  than short tail keywords.</li>
</ul>
<p>decided on a keyword that you can dominate  reasonably quickly, follow the instructions below to get the top position on  Google:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Use your keyword in the Domain Name and Title Tag.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Ensure your content is highly relevant to the keyword.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Have your  keywords <strong>bolded </strong>throughout the page.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Use LSI keywords freely in your  headlines and in your content as search engines will see them as increasing the  relevance of your page.</p>
<p>SEO to take advantage of top search engine  ranking is a strategy applied very successfully to product launches. It lets you  use the product name as your keyword, while there are very few competitors.  Using the buzz created by other marketers, you can make easy sales when people search for the product by name and click on your website because it is at the top  of search engine results, which I cover in my advanced <strong>FREE VIP Training Program</strong>.</p>

<h3>CONCLUSION</h3>
<p>So, is it worth it? In my opinion, YES! Although you might be able to find similar training and resources like those offered by Affilorama Premium 2010 Edition free on the internet, you also have to consider the time and effort involved in attempting such a task on an ongoing basis and where your time could be better spent.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The prime reason people fail in Affiliate Marketing is that they are competing with highly experienced marketers, so without the right knowledge, training and tools they don&#8217;t stand a chance.

<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet241484239"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet241484239'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink241484239'))</script> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_per_action" target="_blank">Cost Per Action</a> or CPA Marketing is an advertising model where the advertiser pays for a specific action that is linked to an advertisement, rather than requiring a sale to pay a commission. This way, you can get paid for a number of different outcomes.</p>
<p>CPA marketing is considered to be recession proof by many in that you can get paid for simply having someone submit their email address or downloading a free toolbar.</p>
<p>There are a wide range of CPA offers with a wide range of payouts. An email submit where someone enters their email to go into a draw for a prize or coupon can pay from $0.50 &#8211; $3.00, while a 1 month free trial of a product that requires you to pay $1.95 for shipping and handling can pay up to $43.</p>
<p><strong>Some of the actions you can be paid for with CPA offers are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Email submit &#8211; enter email address</li>
<li>Zip-code submit &#8211; enter zip-code</li>
<li>Free download &#8211; download free toolbar</li>
<li>Short form &#8211; fill out short form 4-5 lines</li>
<li>Long form &#8211; fill out long form, can require personal and financial information</li>
<li>Trial offers &#8211; pay for shipping and handling for 1 month free trial of product</li>
</ul>
<p>Generally the easier an action is to get completed, the less you will get paid.</p>
<p>CPA marketers will use a wide variety of advertising methods from Banner advertising, email lists, PPC and review websites to pre-sell their products. It is essential that anyone thinking of trying CPA marketing have the proper internet marketing knowledge or you risk losing a lot of money.</p>
<p>There are many CPA companies and some of the more exclusive ones will call you for a phone interview to ask you to explain what experience you have had with online advertising and how you will promote their products before accepting you into their network. So be prepared to accept a phone call and tell the truth. There is no point in bluffing your way in if you don&#8217;t know what to do once you are there.</div></p>

<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet985847155"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet985847155'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink985847155'))</script> <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization" target="_blank">Search Engine Optimization</a></strong> is the process of improving your websites rankings in the organic or unpaid search results. There are many ways to increase your rating with Google and the other Search Engines, but the most accepted method at the moment is by collecting high quality one way backlinks to your webpage.</p>
<p>There are of course other things you need to keep in mind when setting up a page for SEO, and I&#8217;ll list some below:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide Unique Content on your site. Nobody want s to read a poorly rehashed PLR product and the search engines will take that into account.</li>
<li>Add new content regularly, if you want to rank #1 then add new content daily until you reach the top spot.</li>
<li>Create a keyword phrase for each page. Don&#8217;t worry about trying to optimize the entire site for a single keyword. It&#8217;s time consuming and unnecessary.</li>
<li>Aim high but not for the moon when choosing your keyword phrase. If you want to rank fast, think about what the buyers will type into their search engines and target those keywords.</li>
<li>Make your site easy to be read by the search engines. Blogs have an excellent ready made structure that search engines just love.</li>
<li>Choose a domain name with your keyword or related to your keyword. If you can&#8217;t get a domain name with your keyword then be sure to place your keyword in the title tag.</li>
<li>use your keywords in your URLs.</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a style="display:none;" id="ddetlink1515823743" href="javascript:expand(document.getElementById('ddet1515823743'))">Clickbank and Affiliate Marketing</a>
<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet1515823743"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet1515823743'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink1515823743'))</script></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Clickbank is one of the most well known and popular digital marketplaces on the internet today. With over 12,000 digital product vendors, 100,000 active affiliate marketers and a sale occurring every three seconds, it is one of the most popular places to find and promote products by affiliate marketers.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Clickbank acts as a digital product retailer, providing a place to showcase the different products and receiving payments and paying affiliate commissions. One of the reasons Clickbank is so popular is that when someone purchases something through Clickbank they know that they are dealing with Clickbank and not the product vendor, so if they have any problems with the product they can take advantage of Clickbank&#8217;s 60 Day Money Back Guarantee with no questions asked and no hassles.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong> Benefits of Clickbank:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Wide range of products in very niche.</li>
<li>Able to search products by commission paid, popularity and other criteria.</li>
<li>Fast and secure payment options.</li>
<li>Ironclad refund policy.</li>
<li>Commissions assigned immediately and paid weekly.</li>
<li>Free to join.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Drawbacks of Clickbank</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>High refund rate on certain niches.</li>
<li>No product images on Clickbank listings.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">As you can see there are not too many drawbacks to using Clickbank. There is something of a trend in certain aspects of the internet marketing niche that a lot of product returns are occurring, but that may simply come down to the products being inferior to the sales copy promoting it. If you choose to promote a product then make sure it is of a high quality before you expend your time and effort.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If you are selling your first product and want to become a wealthy affiliate marketer, then using a company like Clickbank is definitely the way to go as they will take care of all the affiliate tracking, payments and returns for you. Once you have more experience in niche marketing you can set up your own systems to take care of this if you choose to.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If you want to have a look at Clickbank then follow this link to the <strong><a href="http://www.clickbank.com" target="_blank">Clickbank Homepage</a></strong>, click on the Marketplace link at the top of the page to search the products.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a style="display:none;" id="ddetlink223808205" href="javascript:expand(document.getElementById('ddet223808205'))">How To Choose A winning Domain Name</a>
<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet223808205"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet223808205'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink223808205'))</script> There are a few things to consider when choosing the best domain for your business and it is directly related to &#8216;what&#8217; do you want the domain for:</p>
<p><strong>Using the Product Name</strong> &#8211; if you are promoting a product launch, it is an excellent idea to use the product name as your keyword and your domain name. Use the keyword also in your Title Tag, to make it more optimized. This simple strategy will allow you to register your domain early on, when there is little competition for the keyword and get ranked at the top with Google so you can benefit from the tons of free traffic that the launch will generate.</p>
<p><strong>Branding Yourself</strong> &#8211; if you are going to review and/or promote various products, it will be more beneficial for you to brand yourself &#8211; that is using your name (or a pen name) as your domain. This is important because it allows you to build credibility and reputation by offering valuable information and resources. If done correctly, your site can become an authority site that receives lots of visitors.</p>
<p><strong>Keyword Optimized Domain</strong> &#8211; if your site will provide information or services, you can opt for a keyword optimized domain. In this case, you should find keywords that best describe your products or services based on what people search for. Consider that Long Tail Keywords (3 -5 words) will have less competition which will allow you to rank high faster. Also, people that searching for them are more likely to be &#8216;buyers&#8217; rather than browsers.</p>
<p>For example, think about the people searching for &#8220;Home Business&#8221; or &#8220;Make Money Online&#8221;, they are likely just doing initial research and gathering information. As opposed to those searching for specific product/model names.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some general guidelines to consider when selecting a domain:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Keep it short. The shorter it is the easier to remember.</li>
<li> Do not &#8211; use numbers or words that are: difficult to spell or that could be phonetically misleading (ie: EZ or Easy). Particularly, if you will provide the URL over the phone.</li>
<li> Be professional. Your domain is people&#8217;s first impression of yourself and your business.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If your keyword optimized domain is not available as either a .com or .net you could try any of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using other extensions or a dash &#8220;-&#8221; between words.</li>
<li> Adding a relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keyword (found by using Google Tool External) after the results analyzing your keyword you will find a box listing &#8216;Additional Keywords to Consider&#8217;. LSI keywords are also covered in your Free SEO &amp; Traffic Strategies Report, you receive when you join my Free VIP Training Program.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Once you have a suitable domain name available you need to purchase the name and host it. I use <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/Godaddy.php" target="_blank">GoDaddy</a> to buy my domains as they have cheap prices (generally under $10). </div></p>

<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet1589290570"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet1589290570'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink1589290570'))</script> There are many benefits to using blogs as a portal for your main site or using them as the main site altogether. There are a variety of blog platforms but today I am going to be talking about using <strong><a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">Wordpress Blogs</a></strong>.</p>
<p>I like to use Wordpress because it&#8217;s easy to use and there is a plug-in for just about everything you can think of. I have yet to want something on my site that could not be easily found, installed and activated. The best part is, if like me you are not a programmer,</p>
<p>you can have a highly customized site with little effort without knowing anything at all about HTML.</p>
<p><strong>So let&#8217;s run through the reasons why you should be using a blog.</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Categorized Content</strong> – having your content categorized makes it that much easier for search engines to understand your content and rank it well.</p>
<p><strong>2. Crawlable URL&#8217;s</strong> – uncomplicated URL structure makes it easier for search engine spiders to find and crawl your content.</p>
<p><strong>3. Internal links</strong> – you can deep link keywords from one post to other posts, product information or purchase pages deep within your site. This is highly beneficial for ranking on long tail phrases.</p>
<p><strong>4. External Links</strong> – blogs link much more freely to one another than standard websites do encouraging more traffic, and search engines love one way links from other well ranked sites.</p>
<p><strong>5. RSS</strong> – Known as Really Simply Syndication or Rich Site Summary. Having your URL in the RSS feed assists in link building, and when other sites use your content your embedded links will send you additional traffic.</p>
<p><strong>6. Repeat Visitors</strong> – updating your blog with regular fresh content ensures you get repeat visitors and regular search engine crawls. Regular content will also make you look like an authority site.</p>
<p><strong>7. Simplicity</strong> – you can customize your site without needing to know html coding, file uploading or web page design software.</p>
<p><strong>8. Plug-ins</strong> – there are plug ins for just about every feature you could want to add to your site. They are quick to install and simple to understand and use.</p>
<p>As you can see there are many benefits to using a blog for your main site. If however you still don&#8217;t want to have the blog as your main site I would recommend having one so you can send the traffic you generate from your blog to your main site.

<p><a style="display:none;" id="ddetlink2126228918" href="javascript:expand(document.getElementById('ddet2126228918'))">What are LSI Keywords and how do I use them?</a>
<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet2126228918"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet2126228918'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink2126228918'))</script> First of all, what are they?</p>
<p>LSI Keywords are keywords that are related to your main keyword that support the theme of your website.</p>
<p>By using these additional keywords in your website content and ads your website will be very highly regarded by the search engines. This is because the content becomes highly relevant to the keyword searched for and Google&#8217;s first priority is to give its users the best possible experience by providing websites that offer the most relevant content for the search terms they input.</p>
<p>These LSI keywords will not only make your content sound more natural and authoritative, but will also boost your rankings far above what they would be without them.</p>
<p>As you can imagine you could come up with as many unrelated LSI keywords as you can related ones. So knowing which ones Google considers to be the “most relevant” is the key to your success and this is how you do it.</p>
<p>For an easy example: if you use the Google Keyword Tool to search for “coffee” you will get a list of about 150 keywords related to the term(s) entered, in this case “coffee”, that contain the main keyword.</p>
<p>Underneath those keywords you will see another section titled Additional keywords to consider. These are the LSI keywords that relate to your main keyword but don&#8217;t necessarily contain the main keyword, some examples are barrista, expresso and so on.</p>
<p>The LSI keywords listed here are the ones that google recommends you use with the keyword “coffee”. Finding the right LSI keywords is very simple because you will notice from the image above that the results are “sorted by relevance”.</p>
<p>So all you have to do is include the top results for each of your main keywords until you have another list of 15-20 highly relevant LSI keywords to use in your main content, which we will get into in the next chapter. </div></p>
<p><a style="display:none;" id="ddetlink26285252" href="javascript:expand(document.getElementById('ddet26285252'))">Benefits Of Social Bookmarking</a>
<div class="ddet_div" id="ddet26285252"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expand(document.getElementById('ddet26285252'));expand(document.getElementById('ddetlink26285252'))</script> <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking" target="_blank">Social Bookmarking</a></strong> sites have literally taken the internet by storm. There are hundred if<br />
not thousands of social bookmarking sites on the web.</p>
<p>They are of particular use for internet marketers as they provide:</p>
<p><strong>1. Fast Search Engine Indexing </strong>– the search engine spiders visit these sites so often you<br />
can have a brand new site indexed in a matter of hours and certainly within a day.</p>
<p><strong>2. Traffic Generation</strong> – getting indexed fast is good but Social Bookmarking will also<br />
generate targeted traffic since you will be tagging your bookmark with your niche<br />
keywords. If you use compelling or useful content.</p>
<p><strong>3. Higher Search Engine Ranking</strong> – getting high quality one-way incoming links is a<br />
main factor to higher search engine ranking. With Social Bookmarking, you can get<br />
unlimited &#8216;keyword&#8217; links to your site. Having more keyword links that are relevant<br />
to your site will result in higher ranking.</p>
<p><strong>4. Better Page-rank</strong> – page-rank is how search engines measure a sites relative<br />
importance. This is determined primarily by the number of links connecting to that<br />
site. If the site sending the link has a page-rank itself then the value of that link is<br />
higher than a link from a site without page-rank. With a higher PR, you can link to<br />
your new/existing sites and improve their ranking too! You can even monetize it by<br />
selling links from your site!</p>
<p><strong>5. Personal Branding</strong> – many of the bookmarking sites let you develop your own profile<br />
page on their site where you can list all your web pages, post links to your site and<br />
brand yourself within your niche.</p>
<p>Social Bookmarking is something you simply cannot afford to ignore if you are in business<br />
on the internet. Web promotion is about getting quality links and traffic to your site. It<br />
wont matter how good your site is if you don&#8217;t have these two things.</div></p>

<p>ranking on long tail phrases.</p>
<p>4. External Links – blogs link much more freely to one another than standard websites</p>
<p>do encouraging more traffic, and search engines love one way links from other well</p>
<p>ranked sites.</p>
<p>5. RSS – Known as Really Simply Syndication or Rich Site Summary. Having your URL in</p>
<p>the RSS feed assists in link building, and when other sites use your content your</p>
<p>embedded links will send you additional traffic.</p>
<p>6. Repeat Visitors – updating your blog with regular fresh content ensures you get</p>
<p>repeat visitors and regular search engine crawls. Regular content will also make you</p>
<p>look like an authority site.</p>
<p>7. Simplicity – you can customise your site without needing to know html coding, file</p>
<p>uploading or web page design software.</p>
<p>8. Plug-ins – there are plug ins for just about every feature you could want to add to</p>
<p>your site. They are quick to install and simple to understand and use.</p>
<p>As you can see there are many benefits to using a blog for your main site. If however you</p>
<p>still don&#8217;t want to have the blog as your main site I would recommend having one so you</p>
<p>can send the traffic you generate from your blog to your main site.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/affilorama-premium-2010/affilorama-premium-2010-review" target="_blank">Affiliate Marketing</a></strong> is where a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer that they bring to the site. It can be an excellent source of regular income; particularly when promoting products or services with recurring monthly memberships or fees.</p>
<p>Affiliate products can be promoted by using <strong><a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/viral-marketing/viral-marketing" target="_blank">viral marketing</a></strong> strategies; however, a more successful and frequently overlooked method is to use one&#8217;s website to drive traffic to another (via your affiliate link).</p>
<p><strong>There are main two types of affiliate products you can promote:</strong><span id="more-250"></span></p>
<p>1. New products (known as product launches).<br />
2. Established products.</p>
<p>However, another alternative and less commonly known is Cost Per Action or CPA marketing. Where the affiliate is remunerated when the customer performs and action &#8211; which is not necessarily a sale (ie a survey, competition, claiming a coupon after entering details, etc).</p>
<p>New products can be found by joining a community like <a href="http://www.jvnotifypro.com" target="_blank"><strong>JV Notify Pro</strong></a>, relevant forums and even the mailing lists of top performers in your niche, who will keep you informed when a new product will be released.</p>
<p>With regards to promoting established products, you could source products from <a href="http://www.amazon.com" target="_blank"><strong>Amazon</strong></a>, <strong><a href="http://www.ebay.com" target="_blank">ebay </a></strong>or hundreds of affiliate programs, so check an Affiliate Directory and research your niche. Many affiliate programs are free to join, so visit a number of affiliate sites and check them out.</p>
<p>One of the things you may want to consider, particularly if you live outside the United States, is whether the company pays an affiliate via cheque or using PayPal (or equivalent). This will make a huge difference to the availability of your funds and is particularly important at the beginning if your checks are for small amounts and you have to pay a commission to get the currency exchanged.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.clickbank.com" target="_blank"><strong>Clickbank </strong></a>and <a href="http://comissionjunction.com" target="_blank"><strong>Commission Junction</strong></a> are two of the top affiliate programs; both very reputable, provide excellent training and pay commissions up to 75%.</p>
<p>Whether you promote new or established products, there are some key elements you need to consider:</p>
<ul>
<li>A good product from a well known source or manufacture.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Quality promotional material (including banners, videos, product features and benefits, testimonials, etc).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A sales letter that works. The sales letter should include:
<ul>
<li>Benefit driven headline and sub-headline prominently displayed.</li>
<li>Relevant information on the product creator or merchant.</li>
<li> Bullet point list of benefits of the product.</li>
<li> Bullet point listing all the features.</li>
<li> Social proof or testimonials.</li>
<li> Money back guarantee.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Once you have selected your product then you can either send your traffic directly to the sales page or create a review site or bonus page.</p>
<p>If you create your own mini site to pre-sell the product you will notice a much greater sales conversion ratio, and if you have your own site that is ranked high on Google then you can take advantage of the buzz as the product launch nears for free traffic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Viral marketing uses strategies and techniques that encourage web sites or individuals to pass your marketing message to others. This type of marketing creates the potential for exponential growth in your message&#8217;s exposure and influence an so is an incredible tool for <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/affilorama-premium-2010/affilorama-premium-2010-review" target="_blank"><strong>Affiliate Marketing</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The main benefit of viral marketing, also known as word-of-mouth marketing, is of course the fact that it doesn&#8217;t have to cost you a cent &#8211; just let your fans spread the word for you!</p>
<p>Whether you use your viral campaigns for brand marketing or in viral advertising, it is critical to their success that your message be both:<span id="more-248"></span>1. Compelling enough to encourage it being passed-on</p>
<p>2. Supportive of your brand&#8217;s values and objectives (to raise your brand&#8217;s awareness).</p>
<p>A successful viral marketing campaign will suddenly get a life of its own and everyone will want to see it and when they get it, they will be keen to share it. It will start spreading like a virus &#8211; hence the name!</p>
<p>Also, because it comes across as a &#8216;recommendation&#8217; usually from a friend or fellow member, it is very powerful, having a much greater impact that you could hope to achieve with advertisements.</p>
<p><strong>There are several tricks to viral marketing, and here are some of the main ones:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Convey strong emotion</strong> &#8211; your email needs to make the reader feel something. Your communication must express an opinion or idea with commitment and dedication. You can not try to please everyone and be neutral. Viral marketing is 100% about emotions.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t make it an ad</strong> &#8211; don&#8217;t just email a sales pitch and expect it to be passed along.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Do something unexpected</strong> &#8211; self-explanatory. Follow the road less traveled, do something different &#8211; forget about promoting your product as being the &#8216;best&#8217; or &#8216;greatest&#8217;, or make it look cool &#8211; everybody else does that; be different!  You will make an impact and be remembered.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Always allow sharing, downloading and embedding</strong> &#8211; this is what viral marketing is all about. Encourage bookmarking and publication of social networks, etc. but don&#8217;t fill your website with too many icons.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Allow comments</strong> &#8211; this is a great way for people to connect with you; and when they do, make sure you talk back. However, you must be willing to welcome both positive and negative comments; keep in mind that the best viral marketing campaigns will evoke strong emotions. You can and should use your discretion, but never delete a comment just because it expresses a negative opinion.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Some ways you can implement viral marketing are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Have an opt-in form that offers additional bonuses if they recommend a couple of friends and one of them signs up.</li>
<li>Affiliate programs, if you have your own product then get affiliates to place banners or links on each other&#8217;s websites.</li>
<li> Authors or product creators can give away free articles, books, software, etc &#8211; which they allow to be shared without alteration, encouraging the word to be spread. Because the document contains the author&#8217;s information and relevant links, their reputation and traffic to their site increases as the material is shared.</li>
<li>Authors who give away free articles, press releases, etc to others&#8217; web-pages, get more visibility.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can maximize the success of your viral campaigns by tackling many networks at once (ie, blogs, social media, <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/category/video-marketing" target="_blank"><strong>videos </strong></a>and email lists). No doubt there are many email chains or PowerPoint presentations that you have received from a number of friends and relatives &#8211; increased popularity will likely trigger a greater spread.</p>
<p>As the saying goes: &#8220;if everyone is talking about it, it must be good!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If done correctly, Article Marketing one of the most powerful internet marketing techniques in use today. Combined with <strong><a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/video-marketing/video-marketing-the-fastest-way-to-rankings" target="_blank">Video Marketing</a></strong> it is especially useful for affiliate marketing as it provides a massive source of targeted traffic to your website for little to no money.</p>
<p>To get the most from your articles there are a few things you need to do.<span id="more-242"></span></p>
<p><strong>CREATING ARTICLES</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Choose a hot topic</strong> &#8211; find out what the hottest topics are with a simple Google search, watch the video in the sidebar to see a demonstration of this powerful technique.</p>
<p><strong>2. Keyword structure</strong> &#8211; once you have your topic you need to insert your keywords in a few places.</p>
<ul>
<li> The first words of your title.</li>
<li> In the first paragraph of your article.</li>
<li> In the last paragraph of your article.</li>
<li> In the resource box.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t be tempted to use it more than that or it will not read well and wont attract large amounts of readers.</p>
<p><strong>3. Keep your article to between 300-700 words</strong>. Any more and people are less likely to read it.</p>
<p><strong>4. Pose a question or problem</strong> in your article and then be sure to answer it. Don&#8217;t make people go to your site to find the answer.</p>
<p><strong>5. Don&#8217;t make your article a sales pitch</strong>. Nobody likes to be sold. Provide valuable content and do your selling in the resource box.</p>
<p><strong>6. Have your full URL in your resource box and a call to action to visit your site</strong>. You can also incentivize visiting your site by offering a free report or service. Your resource box should be no more than 10-15% of your article.</p>
<p><strong>7. Unique content</strong> &#8211; don&#8217;t be tempted to just copy and paste something you found from a PLR product. If you are going to do Article Marketing you need to ensure that at least 60-70% of the content is unique. You can use a PLR product as a source of information, just be sure put your own spin on it, it&#8217;s all part of your personal branding.</p>
<p><strong>8. Be informative, funny, controversial. Just don&#8217;t be boring.</strong></p>
<p><strong>9. Be prolific</strong> in your writing. the more articles you write the more traffic you will get.</p>
<p><strong>SPINNING ARTICLES</strong></p>
<p>Spinning articles is a technique to get about 100-150 articles from a single seed article. It involves writing about 4 variations of each sentence and then having software randomly choose one of those variations for each sentence of the entire article giving you many unique variations.</p>
<p>To spin a sentence you place it between {} brackets and separate the variations by using |</p>
<p>See an example below.</p>
<p>Original sentence: Article marketing is a huge source of traffic.</p>
<p>Spinned sentence: {Article marketing is a huge source of traffic.|Gain massive traffic with Article Marketing.|Article Writing sends waves of free targeted traffic.|Write articles for one of the best sources of free online traffic.}</p>
<p>If you do this for every sentence of a 500 word article you should be able to use 100-150 unique variations for each ezine directory and avoid running into problems with duplicate content.</p>
<p>There is a lot of confusion about the duplicate content issue so I&#8217;ll try and clear it up a bit. If Google finds two articles that are too similar then it will only index and display one of them. If they both had links to your site then only one link would be counted.</p>
<p>Now seeing as back-links are currently one of the most important factors on getting your site ranked highly, you can see how you want all of you articles to be counted, both for the links for ranking and visitor traffic.</p>
<p><strong>ARTICLE SUBMISSION</strong></p>
<p>The time it takes for articles to be approved varies depending on which ezine directory you use. Some will be approved instantly while others like ezine directories like <strong><a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com" target="_blank">Ezine Articles</a></strong> can take up to a week.</p>
<p>This is because Ezine Articles reviews every single article by a human editor to see if they meet their standards. While this takes time it means that back-links from ezine articles are highly regarded by Google and other search engines.</p>
<p>There are literally hundreds of article directories you can submit your articles to and if you try to do this manually it quickly becomes massively time consuming. There are software programs and article networks that can do this for you however.</p>
<p>A good article network is <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/myarticlenetwork.php" target="_blank"><strong>My Article Network</strong></a>, it has over 10,000 directories, blogs etc it can submit articles to depending on your niche, and accepts spinned articles for multiple submissions.</p>
<p>Good software programs are SEnuke and <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/articlesubmitter.php" target="_blank"><strong>Automatic Article Submitter</strong></a>, both also have spinning and submission features. My preference is for SEnuke as it does so many other things for you as well, such as bookmarking, RSS syndication, pinging, video submission, website creation and more. To see a review of this product look <a href="http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/senuke/senuke-review" target="_blank"><strong>HERE</strong></a>.</p>
<p>After you have submitted your articles you should also look at saving one for your blog or web-page. Using article spinning for blog posts saves you a great deal of time when you have to add new content each day when you are trying to rank #1 in the search engines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Email marketing is one of the most important tools in your marketing campaign. It allows you to promote your products or services online, generates interest, creates brand identity and awareness, and ultimately increases your sales conversion ratio.</p>
<p>This is because most people will not buy something the first time they visit your site or read about a product.</p>
<p>The purpose of your website is to offer valuable information to encourage visitors and it should be designed not only for sales, but to gather email addresses. Your <strong><a href="http://http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/affiliate-marketing/affiliate-marketing" target="_blank">online sales</a></strong> are generated from your email lists, as you have no doubt heard in the expression &#8211; &#8216;the money is on the list.&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Once you have a list, the purpose of email marketing is twofold:<span id="more-234"></span></strong></p>
<p>1. Keep bringing customers back to your site.</p>
<p>2. Build confidence and trust so they are more likely to buy your products or services.</p>
<p>In order to work, email marketing must be done correctly or you will find that if your emails are opened at all, the &#8216;unsubscribe&#8217; button will be clicked all too often.</p>
<p>Here are some basic rules to consider:</p>
<p><strong>1. NEVER, EVER SPAM</strong> &#8211; not only is it illegal in many places, but at best is a poor practice that will likely get your address added to a SPAM “blacklist” and this means your email address will be automatically filtered from major ISP servers, and your mails will never get delivered. Besides, it doesn&#8217;t accomplish what you want: to target interested customers.</p>
<p><strong>2. USE OPT-IN LISTS TO COLLECT EMAILS</strong> &#8211; &#8216;ask permission&#8217; from your visitors to your site, before they can be added to your list. This is not only more ethical, but will also give you a better response rate.</p>
<p><strong>3. ASSURE PRIVACY</strong> &#8211; people are reluctant to disclose personal information, so don&#8217;t ask for too much at first. Just first name and email address will be enough to start building a relationship. Also make sure you include a privacy notice highly visible in your website as visitors need to know that you will not share their information and their details are protected.<br />
<strong><br />
4. PROVIDE YOUR LINK AND CONTACT DETAILS EVERY TIME </strong>- You WANT people to get to your site (and could even offer an incentive for them to do so, like a free ebook, newsletter, etc); also, providing your contact details will not only let people contact you if they have questions or comments, but also lets them know you are a professional and responsible business person. It also reassures them that you are a &#8216;real&#8217; person, and they will be more likely to do business with you.</p>
<p><strong>5. USE CORRECT GRAMMAR</strong> &#8211; your communications (in this case your emails) are a representation of yourself and your business. If you want to appear professional, you must portray that image. You can also use html email that will enable you to choose appropriate fonts and features like bold, underline, etc giving your emails a more professional look and ease of reading.</p>
<p><strong>6. BE HONEST</strong> &#8211; don&#8217;t use misleading headlines like: &#8220;Following our discussions&#8230;&#8221;, or &#8220;Hey John, it&#8217;s me!&#8221; unless you already have a relationship with John. This is paramount because the sense of anger and betrayal from the reader will last well after the email has been closed and deleted. It is also important to be honest in the way you promote your products or services. Don&#8217;t say, &#8220;I have tried product X and found it&#8230;&#8221; if you haven&#8217;t personally tested it. This is not only unethical, but getting caught on a lie is the fastest way to loose your credibility.<br />
<strong><br />
7. TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED</strong> &#8211; using unrealistic promises and claims, being too pushy, using capital letters in your Subject Line, three exclamation points, etc &#8211; have become the &#8216;norm&#8217; in our busy and highly competitive society. Consider that the equivalent of &#8217;shouting&#8217; online. When everyone else is shouting, try whispering. Have a point of difference, be polite and treat others as you would like to be treated; they will appreciate it and you will be more likely to gain their trust.</p>
<p><strong>8. OFFER VALUABLE CONTENT</strong> &#8211; whether you use email advertising, send email newsletters, just correspondence; make sure your emails offer useful information and not just a sales pitch. No one likes to be sold. There will be plenty of time for you to monetize your list if you start by building trust and a good reputation. Keep your emails short, to the point and easy to read, your readers will thank you for it.</p>
<p><strong>9. ADD A GIFT</strong> &#8211; bonuses have become common practice in internet marketing. It&#8217;s the carrot to get people to buy from you or opt-in to your list, but how about offering something of value beforehand? No one gives &#8217;something for nothing&#8217; anymore, and if you do, you&#8217;ll likely stand out.<br />
<strong><br />
10.RAISING BRAND AWARENESS</strong> &#8211; this is a fundamental concept in marketing, and should be considered in your marketing campaign. You can use emails to contribute to your brand identification; which lets people know who you are, what you stand for and they can expect from you. Your communications should be targeted to your audience and be consistent throughout; from your website to your emails, the color scheme, font, language, etc, should convey the image you want your customers to have of you and your business.</p>
<p><strong>11. BUILD GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS</strong> &#8211; from the first autoresponder you send someone to thank them for joining your list, to free training or product updates you email your list, to the ones you send when clients to confirm their order was received and is being processed, the quality of your correspondence will go a long way towards creating positive customer relations. You should also use your autoresponders to address common objections customers may have, by way of &#8216;frequently asked questions&#8217;, thus bringing down barriers for them buying from you &#8211; before they even arise! It is also important to answer customers questions politely and promptly to provide them with a positive experience. Bottom line, use your emails to keep in constant contact with your list, build trust and strengthen relationships.</p>
<p><strong>12. ASK YOUR READERS TO &#8216;PASS IT ALONG&#8217; (Viral emailing)</strong> &#8211; if you offer useful information and valuable content your readers will be more likely to want to share it with people they know. This is known as <strong><a href="http://http://internet-marketing-solutions.net/viral-marketing/viral-marketing" target="_blank">Viral Marketing</a></strong> and is a highly accepted method of increasing email lists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Video Marketing is more than uploading your videos into <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">YouTube </a></strong>with the correct  tags and telling family and friends to comment on them.</p>
<p>If done correctly, it is a simple and highly effective website marketing strategy that will generate tons of target traffic to your site and increase your site&#8217;s ranking quickly. This is due to the fact that videos are indexed by the search engines within minutes.</p>
<h4>7 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDE VIDEO IN YOUR MARKETING CAMPAIGN:<span id="more-224"></span></h4>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>It attracts a broad cross section of people</strong> &#8211; most of us would rather &#8216;watch&#8217; than &#8216;read&#8217;. This method also appeals to people that are more visual.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Allows &#8216;Face to Face&#8217; interactive marketing</strong> – it allows you to add your personality to your message. By conveying emotion through your message you can set off emotional triggers and influence decisions.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> <strong>Helps You Rank Fast With Search Engines</strong> – Google recently introduced Universal Search, which means that videos now appear in the search result pages and because videos are indexed in minutes, it can help your site rank faster.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Allows You To Become An Expert</strong> – by creating high quality videos that your visitors want and need, you will soon become known as the expert in your niche. This is a crucial aspect of your personal brand marketing and should not be ignored. For this, it is important that your videos present you in a good light. You must come across confident and credible &#8211; remember, practice makes perfect!</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> <strong>Offer Solid Evidence And Credibility</strong> – a video can be used to demonstrate how a product or service works, it can offer customer reviews or social proof (testimonials). When a video offers proof, the message is perceived as  providing solid evidence of the product&#8217;s ability to solve a particular problem and being simple to use for example. This sets off emotional triggers, which ultimately influence buying decisions.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> <strong>Portability And Flexibility</strong> – because videos nowadays can be downloaded into a range of devices from laptops to ipods and cell phones, etc. they allow the viewer to access the content any time and anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> <strong>Re-Use Your Content</strong> – Convert your written content into a video production by talking about it in a video clip or creating a slide show and then uploading it onto video sharing sites like YouTube. This will allow you to direct additional traffic to your original content and to your site &#8211; i.e. Blog post.</p>
<p>Video advertising is one of the most powerful methods in online marketing today. However, it can be time consuming if you need to upload your videos to many differnt sites and take full advantage of the rewards video promotion can bring to you.</p>
<p>There are however several different software programs that can automate this process for you and free your time to allow you to use other creative internet marketing techniques to succeed in your Affiliate Marketing or other endeavors.
