So.. The credit crunch is here on a global scale and Clickbank isn’t paying out.

So what, it’s no big deal really.

The internet is big enough for us all to help others in our own way and earn some big money in the process.

I was asked yesterday about the best seo tacticts for newcomers to internet marketing.

So here’s a quick guide to getting your site some decent rankings without having to spend a fortune on paid ads.

You won’t get to No 1 on Google with these methods immediately but you will rank well and get a lot of traffic.

So here’s a few tactics that work for me and bring in hundreds of new targeted visitors every week.

Search engine optimisation.

Like I always say..

Here’s what works..

The very first thing you must to do is find your optimum keywords, short and long tail OK?

Long tail keywords are just two or three word variations on your main keywords.

For example “dog training” you might use “how to train your dog” etc.

Do this by using Wordtracker or Google’s own keyword search tool. Spend some time on this subject because this is so important. Decide on one keyword and three long tail keywords per page. NO MORE IS NEEDED!

Embed your landing page with your main keyword three or four times only. NO MORE!

Use your main keyword within the headline text of your sales letter.

Embed your long tail keywords so that it reads well. This may sound obvious but some people struggle with it.  

Submit your website to all major search engines. Google, MSN, Lycos etc.

Ensure that your sites are being “crawled” by Google and that your pages are Google friendly (not too many html errors).

Submit your url links to as many social bookmarking sites as you have time to. (this can take time without software).

Write some articles on Digg, Ezine articles, Warrior Forum and others and leave your url (signature) behind.

Leave comments on authority blogs within your niche “don’t forget the no follow rule”.

Sign up for as many social sites as you can manage and just be yourself.

Post to your blog every day or at least 3 times per week and the results will follow, guranteed.

Hey everybody…

How was your day?

Thanks for all your kind comments on my last post, it is very much appreciated.

I have a quick post today on a subject close to my heart which has seen me pull through the difficult times like no other.

The subject is all to do with mindset. 

Without the wrong mindset we make our goals seem further away than they really are.

When I first began my internet marketing “career” I did not find motivation a problem and developed a positive mindset from the word go.

I was always the same when I started a new business venture 

But with internet marketing I was attracted by the potential profit to be made from it but more importantly I realised the huge potential to help others.

I have read a good few books on the subject of mindset and listened to what the experts had to say about it, some where worth listening to and some weren’t.

The fact remains that if you happen to be very poor with little or no possible opportunities available for you to improve your quality of life very few gurus take this into consideration and expect the reader to be able to flip their mindset from one of pessimistic to positive like pressing a light switch.

However, a friend of mine happens to be a true expert in the field of mindset. Check out www.paulgorman.com 

I recommend Paul 100% to anyone interested in this subject. Paul is a fantastic coach with 25 of experience who genuinely wants to help his customers and I highly recommend him plus he gives away a ton of free advice.

When I was building my list for my gardening niche site Paul gave me some excellent tips on how to attract the right type of buyers (and he isn’t even an internet marketer) and when I wanted advice on how to market my Earn From Home site http://www.quickwealthsecrets.com he came up with the goods once again.

His methods of teaching people how to develop the millionaire mindset are truly remarkable, go check it out.

Bye for now.

Having been in business for over 20 years, one thing that always bothered me was the cost of advertising.

It seemed to be a constant battle to find the right balance between cost versus conversion.

I was always altering copy and tweaking it here and there to come up with the perfect advert that would some day on it’s very own magically make me rich.

This magic advert would ensure that I never needed to work again. It also meant that I could live the lifestyle of a film star, operating my business from home and only getting out of bed for no less than say $10,000.

I spent fortunes on seminars and courses and spent a ridiculous amount of time learning the science of marketing because that’s exactly what it is, a science.

So then what about the magic bullet?

Although I am a fairly decent copywriter and my advertising consistently pulls a better than average conversion I still never managed to come up with the Claude Hopkins style million dollar day ad and I was still paying through the nose for thumbnail slots.

Targeted Traffic From Social Networking

As internet marketing and social networking sites continue to grow, the possibilities to aquire free advertising are obvious. 

Nowadays we are all familiar with Facebook, My Space, Twitter etc but too many entrepeneurs fail to realise the potential of these vast oceans of prospects that can be reached by a little research and a few mouse clicks.

Not to mention the set and forget social bookmarking software which ensures your website gets ranked by Google, how well it ranks depends on other factors such as SEO.

How To Do It?

It’s surprisingly simple, mostly fun and rather addictive watching messages from your autoresponder flow effortlessly and constantly into your inbox and ultimately dumping money into your bank account.

There’s always pay per click which can bring instant results but heck that’s another story for another day.

Social networking can also bring in fast results but mostly it will take a few weeks before you see the money come in but when it does you’re off and running.

Assuming that you are good at what you do, you have a sound business based on integrity and always view it from the customers perspective you can’t go wrong. Customers don’t care less about you and why shold they?

Begin with setting up your profile on one of these sites. Make it professional looking and interesting.

Don’t try to sell your product or service right away, people will spot that and will usually take a wide berth even if you have discovered the secret to looking like you were at the age of 18.

The trick here is to get involved.

Make sure that you make friends within the framework of your target audience. If you are in the baby niche for example you will want to make friends with women with babies, simple. You can find specific groups by utilising the search facility, (stay at home moms for example).

Post regularly and gently let people know that you are the expert in your field until you feel right to pitch your product, it sounds difficult but once you get started you will realise just how natural and easy it is. People need information and will listen to those who can provide what they want, it’s human nature, we can’t help it.

Make sure that you have your autoresponder set up as you can have 1000 prospects within 2 weeks, maybe more depending on how many hours you spend on these sites.

Start a blog immediately (today) and post every day or at least twice a week and always inform your prospects when you have a new post.

You will be surprised at how fast your list grows and like I said it costs nothing but your time.

Till next time.

Making money online is a challenge sometimes.

It’s not the actual selling of your product, I mean if it’s good enough and helps people solve a particular problem people will always buy it.

I have a new site which I submitted to the search engines a couple of weeks ago but when I checked google analytics I’m told that it can’t be indexed. How can this be? If the mighty G doesn’t index my site I’m finished, doomed, back to the day job, working 9-5 and all that, yeah right. It will take more than a few spiders for that to happen.

As it happens, if you have video on your site it can make it difficult for google to index sometimes.

It turns out that I will need to adjust some settings and re submit so you will have to wait a few more days. Anyway there’s a great product waiting for you there. You can go check out the FREE video at http://www.quickwealthsecrets.com

Hope you all had an enjoyable halloween. I’m going to a local networking type marketers party tonight and don’t even have my costume yet. Maybe I’ll dress as a google spider and scare the living daylights out of the other marketers and then again maybe they don’t have these problems. 

Signing off.
