SEO Basics and Benefits for Online Newbies

The basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) are the right website design and the structuring of the HTML code. Besides this there are other important aspects of internet marketing that have to be borne in mind for a successful online business.

They are the use of blogging, forums, journalism, domain management, article writing, viral marketing, affiliate marketing and email marketing.

There are many tools available on the internet to help you practice internet marketing. Like to help in search engine marketing, you have to use Google AdWords and AdSense through small text advertisements to be placed no various websites.

When these texts are clicked, you make a profit. Though you have to pay some money to Google, this is a great means of advertising your business on a wide platform for maximum coverage.

You have to optimize the content on your website to draw maximum visitors to your website. This means that the content in the website has to be unique where it describes your services or products effectively.

It is the content of your website that improves the popularity and visibility of your website as it provides users the necessary information they seek about your product on the internet. Including fresh content too helps in improving your search engine ranking and bring repeated and more visitors to your website.

Exchanging links with other similar and popular sites also help in increasing your traffic as people visiting these sites will get interested in your product, and click on the link.

Making posts in popular blogs and forums and those that have some relevance to your product or service, and leaving your links there will get you traffic. People interested in the blogs and forums will also visit your website on seeing the link here.

With these methods, you will be able to increase the page ranking and traffic of your site so that you get more visitors. Some of these visitors are sure to turn into customers for your product or service, which is why SEO is essential for the success of your online business.

Write One Outline To Use For All of Your Articles

Take the time necessary to prepare an outline before you write your article. This is what will set your article apart from others. You are prepared, have done your research, and have developed your method and procedure for writing articles and it will show in the quality of your finished product. Here is how it is done.

Why Is Writing An Outline Important?

Being prepared makes any job easier and being organized allows for you to return to your article, after any interruption, and be able to continue writing because your outline is guiding your process.

What Is In An Article Outline?

Think of the outline as a blueprint of how to write a feature article. No matter where you have to stop, you can always jump right back in without losing your train of thought - just check the blueprint and you are back on track. It guides you in each step of your article and holds the thoughts you know will make your article creative and appealing.

The Outline Template

The greatest outcome from creating an outline is that will become a standard template to use over and over. In fact, it's really useful to do so - make the template once, and you only have to plug in answers from there on out. You will be ready to breeze through writing any article.

There are three parts to include when you are writing an outline template.

Introduction: Tell them what you are going to say. State your point, in two or three short sentences with virtually no detail.
Validation: Why should anyone care? Tell them what value they will get from reading the article.
Preparation: What do they need to know to understand the rest of the article?

The Content: Say what you are going to say. Each paragraph should provide one concept at a time. Keep them to a few sentences and leave out confusing jargon. Explain how to use the information to further their experience or talk about a case story where this information was used towards a successful end.

Conclusion - Tell them what your just said. The conclusion is your deep breath at the end. It's your summary, where you want to motivate the reader to use the information you have presented. You want the conclusion to be very brief and to the point. This is where you put your 'call to action' statement. What should the reader do next? Why should they take that next step?

Article Outline Example

Title of the article: Writing With An Outline
Topic: Benefits of creating one outline for all articles.
Audience: Writers of articles for online marketing.

Introduction Notes: The first sentence of the article, some way of attracting the interest of my reader is a great start. Provide a value statement for the reader to entice them to continue reading.

Content Notes: Transition sentence between the introduction and content.

Sub-Title 1: Sub-topic that describes how-to, explains one facet of my topic, etc.
Attention grabbing first sentence.
Research to get all the facts that will support and go against your point.

Sub-Title 2: More of the above.

Conclusion Notes: Summarize what you talked about. The conclusion will wrap up your points and drive in what you are saying in your article.
Final thoughts.
Call to action.

Using an outline may seem like a useless step but as you fill in the blanks you will see your article appear. Review and reread your ideas and notes to gain mastery and sufficient familiarity with your topic. This will make writing your feature article easier.

Writing Your Feature Article

Now it's time to get creative and add flesh to the ideas you have jotted down. Write out your first outline and use it to create a draft. This may take more than one attempt but remember that it is called a draft for a reason. Your outline shall be perfected as each draft is written. As you go on, you will clearly see the bigger picture and write an article that will perfectly suit what is demanded of it.

Always refer back to your outline. When you start going through your first draft to make edits, make sure that every sentence propels the article toward the conclusion you intended. Your outline will help you keep in track. Your outline template will serve as your guide in writing articles. Trust and rely on this valuable tool. It will prove to be a very helpful tool in writing all of your articles.

The time you spend in outlining your article will never be a wasted effort. Save your outlines - they will serve as a guide in writing articles, a valuable tool that will constantly keep you on track.

Article Marketing - 3 Clandestine Tactics For Generating 300% More Traffic And Sales

Article marketing is a great source for free, residual traffic. You can use it to create real cash flow marketing your products or affiliate products.

First off, you must understand there are a few other less popular article sites that receive almost just as many visitors as the popular ones, such as some of the ones often mentioned in ebooks. I tend to make the most out of every article I have written so I submit to 4 to 6 of the best directories. Sometimes an article actually might receive more visitors on another less popular article directory because they don't get 'lost' in the potpourri of articles

Here's some article marketing tips you can use to fatten your bank account:

1) Sometimes when your article is submitted just before the weekend, it will have the whole weekend to get in that initial traffic.

2) Instead of linking directly to an affiliate site, build a list. Or at the very least, like you said, build a blog. And perhaps you can build a list from there.

Build your business, not just the merchant's. If you are not building a list, it's mostly short-term profits.

3) Keep it simple when outsourcing. The simpler your project sounds, the more bids you will get. Because the job will sound simple when you write it in simple form. There's not much copywriting involved, just plain English.

State how many articles you want, state the price you want per article (important) and accept nothing higher than that. I've had freelancers try to give me excuses to raise my prices (usually it's all about their problems), but don't accept it. You've got your return on investment to think about.

I use only 2 short lines for this and get more than 10 bids or more in just half a day.

SEO Elite Software Review

Are you fed up of bad search engine ranking? Are you fed up of poor affiliate cheqs? I know how you feel. I also had some bad times like you. I was always beaten by the best webmasters and advance affiliates. I always got 30th and 20th ranking on search engines. But now my life has changed. You may be thinking how this happened. I have been using powerful software for the last one year. Because of this fool proof software my affiliate earning boosted up to 400$ a day. The name of the software is SEO Elite.

SEO Elite is a software designed for the beginners and experts of internet marketing. This software has the ability to kick the top search engine rankers and find you a spot on the first page. This software has many features to raise your rankings. The first one is it's the article submission tool. This tool separately costs more than 100$ But those software have a big database. But this software has only 20 article submission sites. These sites are the PR 2 and Pr 3 sites. IF you submit your article to more than 30 places your site won't index and if it's indexed it will get banned. This is because you get many links at once and the content that you submit becomes duplicate. Due to the article points to your site, the search engine robots neglect your site and you lose a link to your site. That is why it is best to submit an article to only ten sites.

The other tool found in SEO elite is the directory submission tool. Using this tool you can submit your site to various directories. By this you get number of links and your site flies to the first page of the search engine. The next powerful tool found in SEO Elite is the link finder. Using this tool you can find link partners and request links for your site. And also this software monitor whether your link partners link back to you or have thy dropped you. If SEO Elite find a drop link it automatically sends a letter to your link partner saying that the link is missing and the link that we have given is deleted. Until the link partner provides the link again your software won't publish the link to your partner's site.

Using this software affiliates like me and you have a chance to beat the top webmaster's.

Want To Make Residual Income Online Time After Time?

So, who wants to make residual income online? (If you don't have your hand up in the air right now, call your family doctor, because you should. And you can be making residual income starting TODAY.)

By writing articles that are rich with the keywords that Google needs at the moment (think supply and demand here) then you run the very strong possibility of having that article find its way into the natural search results page.

For example, you write an article about "Alcohol Dependency Among Teens" because you've done you keyword research and this looks to be a ripe opportunity to do some writing. So far, great.

You then submit your article to ezinearticles.com one of the best directories in the eyes of Google (the biggest engine on the planet). So far, even better.

Now here's the fun part. Because ezine is so highly Page Ranked and because it has become one of the most prominent, if not THE most prominent article directoRy out there, Google places VERY HIGH values on the articles submitted here.

Google and the other engines then perform the searches actively looking for the content it needs. And if "Alcohol Dependency Among Teens" is something that they need (low supply) they will very quickly get your article up as a natural result!

So wait, I thought this article was about how to make residual income online. It is!

That article now 'lives' on that page of Google results. Depending on how popular that keyword is, thousands or tens of thousands of people will now be exposed to your article. That's repeated exposure. And repeated exposure is the pure definition of residual.

The income part of this equation happens in your resource box. That's where you very nicely invite people over to your site to read a review, or check out your latest and greatest.

Writing articles and mastering article marketing is one of the best ways to make residual income online. If there's a better, more natural way, I'd love to hear about it.

Keyword Density And Authors - Some Light Remarks on Density

I should have seen it coming. I had asked for feedback on an ebook I had written on Article Marketing. The feedback came with some weak praise together with a remark that I had neglected Keyword Density. I thanked my reviewer and refrained from pointing out that Keyword density had exactly the amount of attention that it deserved - none. I thought no more of it until I got an email from Chris Knight of ezinearticles complaining that many authors were writing articles with an inflated Keyword density.

There's no avoiding it, so here goes.

A keyword is a word or phrase used by people searching for information online with the aid of a search engine. If the keyword phrase is "golf shoes" the search engine scans its database for articles on "golf shoes" then it sorts the articles into an order depending on how relevant they are and then presents them for viewing. So far, so good. The nub of the issue is how the search engine knows what is best.

In the early days it was easy for the search engine to find out what a webpage was about. All it had to do was look at the title and meta description tags on the webpage and then compute the keyword density. Keyword density is just the number of keywords on the page per hundred words. If our shopper found an article on golf shoes 300 words long and the phrase "golf shoes was found 6 times then (6 / 300) x 100 = 2%.

What this gives us is a simple way of working out how important a page is. A webpage that mentions "golf shoes" 10 times is probably going to be more useful to our shopper that a page that mentions "golf shoes" once per 100 words.

I guess it had to happen. Webmasters started "stuffing" keywords into articles with the enthusiasm of a Chef stuffing a turkey. The Keyword density on webpages began to soar and the folk running the search engines were unable to tell which article was best for their users. It was clear that keyword density was less important to the search and it began to be discounted by the search engines.

Google was probably the first to respond to the spamming of the web by what came to be called "keyword stuffing". Predictably some webmasters thought they could outwit Google and started to repeat their keywords dozens of times on the page with, for example, a white typeface on a white background.

While the Quality department at Google were deleting keyword stuffed webpages from their index their colleagues had developed a revolutionary form of advertising called Adsense. A webpage with Adsense on it will display advertisements on it that match the content of the page. So a page with an article about the best shoes to wear while playing golf will show Adsense advertisements on golf shoes.

The implications of this are that Google can judge for itself what the page is about. It does not need to read the meta tags and does not need to work out the keyword density.

Consequently Google started to discount meta tags and keyword density.

Many webmasters persisted with their folly in spite of explanations from Search Engine experts such as Aaron Wall, Jill Whalen and Colin McDougall.

Instead of counting keywords Google is looking at the relationships between the words. There is a natural structure in language and a well constructed and informative article would be expected to have a variety of words relevant to a topic as well as a smattering of technical terms and slang.

Writing in a natural way is the only way to get the word relationships Google is looking for in its quest for high quality and writing to target a particular keyword density is an effective way to tell Google that the article concerned is of little value.

The search engines have been telling us for years to write for our visitors and not for the search engines. For years we have been ignoring this advice but the search technology now in place is so good that deliberately trying to rank in the search results by artificial means is self defeating.

And that is why my book did not feature keyword density!

Consider Our SEO Services First-A New Kind of About Us Page

On a lark, based upon a recommendation from a cohort, I checked into an unusual keyword phrase.; Consider Our SEO Services First. I was blown away at what I found. First I opened up Google and enter the phrase in quotes and it returned 24 sites. Not only that, but it appears that it has been requested 1,229 times a month as reported by Overture!

Whoa Baby! What is up with that?

So rather than rationalize the reasons, I created my own web page to fill that potential need. Hey! I even optimized it. You got it. The keyword phrase is in my filename, Title, H1 tag, content and even in the ALT text of the single image. I even sprinkled the phrase in my site description. I almost forgot, I created a couple of links too.

Now why would I do this? To prove a theory or bust one that Search Engine Optimization or SEO is extremely important to businesses. Even the Mom and Pop shops out there could benefit from a test like this.

We live in a very competitive world now so if you want a website that is going to earn you money then you need SEO. No you must utilize SEO in some form or fashion. If you do not then someone else is going to come along and pass you by.

I wanted to share this with everyone just to prove that you can turn a simple mundane keyword phrase into a potential avenue for profit. Think about the other non-performing web pages on your site like the About Us page. Most of these kinds of pages give a history of the company or persons. Well, this could be the last Sales pitch you have in front of the visitor.

One thing for sure, I will now have a different perspective for all of my web pages. We should not have web ages on our sites just because some other site has them. Be inventive think outside the box. Transform an obscure page and get it to the first page of Google! ;)

How To Write A Resource Box That Delivers Massive Traffic To Your Website

Your resource box is the heart and soul of what makes article marketing stand out as the most efficient, most effective way to drive traffic to your website.

The concept is simple, write a few dozen, short articles that average 300 to 900 words in length, on a topic that is useful to the people you want to do business with, publish these articles online at any of the hundreds of "article submission sites" or "article banks."

Under the terms of service of these article banks, you permit other webmasters or newsletter publishers to reprint your articles under certain conditions. These conditions include the requirement that they reprint your article with no changes and give you proper attribution as the author of the article. This includes your resource box at the end of your article.

Your resource box is the only place you may sell in your article. The body of the article should have a low key, helpful flavor to it so that readers will feel that they are receiving valuable information on a topic of interest to them. But the resource box, is where you can tell about your self, about the services you offer and contains a link to your site that they may click in order to visit your website.

But how do you motivate readers to click on your link and go to your website? Here are a few ideas to include in your resource box that will greatly increase the number of visitors you get from every article you write:

  1. Offer to solve a problem. This should be easy since anyone reading your article is probably interested in solving a certain type of problem. In your resource box, you just spell out the solution more specifically and promise that they will find the solution when they visit your website.

  2. Make a promise. All benefits are promises. Promises to get something in exchange for clicking your link. Think through what you do and come up with some very clear and specific promises you can make. These are not always promises your services can deliver on, but promises they will get just for visiting your site.

  3. What changes do your readers want to realize? Benefits are simply solutions or changes. Make a list of all the changes you can offer someone and choose the most concise, most emotional change you can think of to put into your resource box.

  4. Use words like "find out" or "learn how" to get people to visit your website. People who read your online articles are looking for more information. "How to" type articles dominate article banks for the simple reason that people are looking for ways to solve problems and create changes, as we've already learned in the examples above.

  5. Use the words "you can." People may want to solve problems or create changes, but they also have doubts that they can bring these things to pass. "You can" phrases are strongly motivating and help readers picture themselves enjoying the solutions and changes your article promises.

  6. Put yourself in the minds of your potential visitors and make a list of "I wants" form their point of view. For example, if you are a lawyer, put yourself in the mindset of your potential clients. The I wants" you come up with may be: "I want to be compensated fairly for my pain and suffering," "I want to erase an unfair criminal conviction from my record, "I want to be paid for my lost wages from an employer who unjustly terminated my employment and then spread untrue rumors about me in the workplace."

Writing an outstanding resource box takes a lot of work. Often it is more work to write the resource box than it is to write the article itself. But remember you aren't selling yourself in the article, you are in the resource box. Make it shine and you will be rewarded by increased traffic and increased clients who want to do business with you.

Article Marketing - The Cold, Ultimate Truth About Article Marketing

The myth of autopilot income from articles is truly a myth. I know I'm going to receive a ton of flak for this, but there's no such thing as truly automated income from article marketing. The reason for that is this: articles lose some of their traffic generation power after some time, you'll have to keep pumping them out to keep your profits coming in. Information is growing exponentially online; if you don't continuously release new content, your traffic will drop.

It's also not good enough to submit five to ten articles a month. Many article marketers simply submit a number of articles similar to that and stop. Totally. They don't see results and they give up! Five to ten articles will never create hundreds of visitors to your websites, you have to be pumping them out in the hundreds to see any "real" traffic.

Go to sites like Ezine Articles. The top writers churn out hundreds and thousands of articles and they are doing it for a reason. Because it works. It works in generating traffic, and it's also a great branding tool. Having hundreds of articles out there is a great credibility weapon.

I don't care if you are marketing affiliate products, an ecommerce store, an eBay store, or selling your own digital products. Article marketing works, but only if you work it. Most people give it a try and declare that it doesn't work. Maybe they are too lazy to write the articles. Well, if you have a bundle of extra cash, you can certainly outsource the articles. But if you don't, you'll just have to keep churning them out. The rewards will be totally amazing.

Article Research And Writing An Article Outline

When you write as many articles as I have it is easy to forget that not everyone can just sit down and write an article. Being able to write is the backbone of your future success, however, so you need to get your own system for writing quality articles.

It all starts with an idea and a little article research. One of my favorite tools I use everyday is called Search Automator. This makes researching content for any article a breeze.

Here's a couple of more things on writing articles. When you write try and write like you talk. Using fancy words and writing like you think will impress people does not work because it never sounds natural. Writing like you talk works because you are being yourself and you as become a better writer your articles will sound more natural and interesting.

Here is a simple formula you can use as an outline for your articles called AIDA.

When writing an article break it into 4 parts.

Attention

Interest

Desire

Action

Your title should attract attention. If you don't get read your dead. For this reason we try to write around a primary keyword and include it in the title of the article.

Your introduction should create interest and lead people into the body. Let you reader know what the article is about and why they should read it.

The body should continue to create interest in the subject. Try and write short 2-3 word paragraphs which will help get the whole article read and not have people skimming down the article. Long paragraphs get skimmed over because they are hard to read on the Internet.

If you write a compelling article you will create desire to know more which leads into your resource box.

The resource box is where you sell yourself or your website. Your goal is to get action. The action you want is to get the click through to your website.

Using Search Automator to do good research and following this outline is a great way to develop a quality article and increase your website traffic with it.

Why Your Talents Alone Aren't Getting You Anywhere Online

The bottom line is that there are plenty of really talented people out there who will never be heard from because they dont understand even the most basic principles of marketing. Marketing isnt often taught in Fine Arts courses because the instructors, by nature, are better at teaching the craft than they are at marketing themselves in the craft. Most marketing experts havent fine tuned their artistic talents enough to have a product worth marketing.

So the good news is that it is easier for a talented artist to learn the principles of excellence in marketing ideas and services than it is for a marketing genius to develop the passion and skill sets needed to produce good and, sometimes, great art.

Your website looks good and is ready to be shown to the public but now youll have to begin your marketing phase.

The first thing youll want to do is start writing internet articlesfor free! They dont have to be long or profound, they just have to be written well, stay on subject, be controversial and have great titles that search engines will latch onto and deliver people into your funnel.

Go to http://ezinearticles.com, sign up for a free membership and start writing short articles about what youre interested in. Also, make sure the meta tags on each page of your website have 101 keywords and phrases to attract search engines. Also, make sure that you have a text table of contents on each page of your website as well as the cool flash buttons. Make sure every page has a title and that you register your site with http://dmoz.com.

Next, start a blog at http://blogger.com (its free) and start blogging about your subject and your art. Talk about which phases your are in certain projects and make sure to include plenty of juicy tips and advice for people interested in art (do you see that you are truly building your online brand into an expertise here?).

Next, go to http://aweber.com and sign up for a newsletter database subscription ($20 a month). Put forms and links on all of your websites and send an initial message to your warm e-mail market to join your subscription list. Send a weekly newsletter to your subscriberskeep them entertained and keep them interested and with patience and time your audience will grow into thousands. These thousands know tens of thousands and this circle of hundreds of thousands of possibilities will keep you working for the rest of your life if you choose to work that long.

Beyond this, there is pay-per-click advertising you search out proper keywords and buy time with them in certain search engines as well as affiliate programs where other people market your services for you and you give them a percentage of whatever business they bring. But lets focus on the cheaper foundation first.

This is a guaranteed method of success if you are willing to put the time into it and you must first decide whether you want to go all the way or not because success and happiness begin at the crown of the head where spirit meets mind meets body. Success or failure is a choice we make each moment and determine the nature of our experience of reality. I have been extremely impressed with your talent and with your professionalism in our exchanges so farI believe in you and in your future and I am willing to invest my time and limited resources (for now at least) into helping you achieve. But all that doesnt matter if you havent invested yourself and your success 100%.

There is no going back from here, my friend. Onward and upward!

Article Marketing Vs Traditional Methods Of Internet Advertising

In this article I would like to compare article marketing with other methods of internet advertising. The main reason for this is that traffic is the lifeblood of your internet business. Without traffic you cannot succeed.

Article marketing is my favourite form of generating traffic to my website. The main reason for this is that it is free. So I do not have to spend any money and whatever I money I make it is complete profit.

However, it is wise to always diversify your strategies. If for some reason one of your strategies is not working then you have a few others that will be and generating income for you.

I am a full time internet marketer so running my business is a very serious thing. If it is not generating money then I will not have money to buy food.

Originally I built my business with free advertising like search engines and article marketing. Now I have started marketing using safelists, co-registration, ppc and email marketing.

Each method takes a lot of work to get it to work. You need to track and test everything so that you maximize your earning. However, once you get one method to work you continually do it to grow your business and focus on the next.

This is the plan of action I suggest that you take. Use article marketing as a strong base. It will get you good search engine rankings and build your credibility as an expert in your specific niche market. Also as your articles become viral you will get traffic from many different sources. As you start making money reinvest a large part of those profits that you are making into paid advertising. So that one day if there is a big algorithm change on search engines you will not go out of business.

5 Top Ways To Improve Your Article Marketing

In this article I would like to share with you some of the best ways that I have used to improve my efforts from article marketing. Hopefully these ideas will help you as much as what they have helped me.

1) If you were anything like me then there is a good chance that you struggled to write your first few articles. A lot of people when they first start doing article marketing want to write about anything. To succeed with article marketing you need to focus on a very narrow topic. Get rid of your limiting beliefs. Also unwind and listen to some relaxing music to get your creative juices flowing. So often we struggle to write because our minds are not trained to do so.

2) Repeatedly people over emphasize the use of keywords in the articles and it hurts the search engine rankings and also the readability of the article. The search engines can easily make sure if the article is relevant to the keywords by the words that are being used.

3) It is significant that you build an electronic system for recording your ideas. Often you will get an idea for another article while you are writing an existing one and you will forget about the new idea. Now when you start writing an article from scratch you will wish that you recorded your original idea to save a lot of time. You will struggle to come up with original ideas when you need to deliberately think about them.

4) The primary purpose for your article is to capture your visitor's name and email address when they visit your web site. You need to capture a segment of the market that you can market to over and over again. Without a list of possible prospects for your business that you can sell to you will struggle to be successful with your internet business.

5) Submit your articles to all the main article directories. These will serve as backlinks to your website and will also increase your link popularity as the articles become viral in nature and get published by other websites.

How To Guarantee That The SEO Ghost Writer You Hire Breaks All Your Sales Records

There is no way that you will be able to hire an effective SEO ghost writer without understanding SEO and the use of the right keyword phrases to generate traffic from search engines.

If you do not make the effort to try and understand a little SEO then it will be impossible for you to supervise the ghost writer you hire to ensure that they help you break all your previous sales records with the help of their keyword-rich articles.

For instance there are cases where I have seen webmasters hire an seo ghost writer who does not quite seem to understand what they are doing. You do not need to do any keyword research to immediately tell that the keyword phrases they somebody is using are just too short. The shorter a key word phrase, or the fewer the words it contains, the more competitive it is and therefore the slimmer the chances of such a keyword ever generating any search engine traffic for that particular site.

In this way you are able to tell immediately that the seo ghost writer on hire will not be able to be able to help the client site break any sales records because their content will hardly attract any traffic from search engines.

Are you considering hiring a ghost writer? If so don't do anything until you've read a few of the articles at the author's hire a ghost writer blog. And if you're interested, you'll also be referred to an excellent SEO ghost writer.

If these links are to individual pages in your site they are of special value since they are much more important to search engines than just your home page.

The articles you write must be specific to the theme of individual pages in your web site, to which you can direct visitors by means of a URL link in the authors resource box. Links from the body of the article itself are not always permitted by article directories. Your articles can be submitted to individual directories manually or by means of software, and the more articles you write, and the more directories you submit them to, the better. The more links you will get and the more direct traffic through people clicking on your URL.
