This is the first article in a six part series on how you can get indexed in the most important search engines on the internet. These search engines include Google, Yahoo, MSN, Exactseek, and Alexa. These sites cover over 80 percent of the searches done on the internet, so it's well worth the effort to prepare your site correctly, and submit it to these search engines.
Before you do any kind of promotion on the internet, you need to make sure that your site is properly prepared for the search engines. The reason is that the search engines will be the main way that others find you on the internet.
If you haven't optimized your site for the search engines, now is the time to do it.
There are two tools that you can use, that are absolutely free, to optimize your website. Keep in mind that your main focus should be on optimizing individual pages for various keyword terms on your topic.
Good Keywords - http://www.goodkeywords.com - This tool will tell you what others are searching for, as well as how often the search terms are searched for in a month. Windows.
Web CEO - http://www.webceo.com - This software suite will not only help you optimize your pages for the search engines, but it will help you find link partners, as well as keyword terms, and you can use it to submit to other lesser known search engines. Windows and MAC.
It is beyond the scope of this article to teach you how to optimize your site for the search engines. Web CEO contains step by step documentation that will teach you everything you need to know about search engine optimization.
What's important here is that you find out specifically what keywords and keyword phrases searchers are looking for when searching. If you optimize your site for the wrong keyword search terms, either no one will find you, or you will have so much competition, you won't be able to get your site to rank very high.
Most searchers won't go beyond the first three pages of results. Rank below this, and you'll have a tough time being found.
Another important point to remember is that each of the main search engines is different. You can optimize your site for Google, which is the most important search engine right now, but you can optimize your site for indexing in all of the major search engines if you do it right.
Avoid techniques like keyword stuffing, redirect pages that are unrelated to your site, and junk pages. Multiple domains pointing to the same site or a mirror site are a definite no no.
Although there is some debate these days about using other writers' articles because of the duplicate content rule, remember that all of the major search engines are full of duplicate content.
Using articles written by other authors is a great way to provide value to your site visitors, but you will want to write a few of your own articles. By writing your own articles, you can optimize them for your keyword terms, something you can't do with other writers' articles.
When you write your articles, convert them to HTML and then use Web CEO to optimize them for your keyword terms. Make sure you focus on no more than two to three terms per page, or you will have problems optimizing your page. You want your articles to make sense, and you want them to provide value to your readers.
Finally, once you've optimized your site, you'll want to make sure that you submit them to the major search engines. Although there is some debate these days over whether or not this is necessary, the major search engines aren't perfect, and they don't always update properly.
Once you've submitted your sites, you can move on to the next steps in your internet marketing campaign. Resubmit only when you've made major changes to your sites.
Search engine optimization and submission is a long term marketing strategy. Good ranking, as well as good coverage of your site won't happen overnight. It will happen though if you stick to good search engine optimization techniques to improve your site's ranking.

In this article I would like to go through the top 7 things that I learned are very important about article marketing. I remember when I started doing this I was very skeptical as my results were not that great. However, once I started doing these things I started experiencing much better results.
1) Choose a niche market. This is a highly focused market that you will write articles for. Do not try and be all things to everybody. The more focused your niche market the greater your profits will be.
2) Send all your traffic to a squeeze page. The main reason that you will do this is that if you do not capture your visitor's name and email address it will be unlikely that you will ever get another visit from them to your website. Also sales are usually made only after the seventh contact.
3) Write an attention grabbing headline. You see if your headline does not interest the visitor it is unlikely that they will read your article.
4) Your opening paragraph needs to catch the reader's interest. If they are not interested after reading the first paragraph it is unlikely that they will read the rest of your article.
5) Your concluding paragraph needs to make the reader take action. If they do no take action it is unlikely that they will visit your website.
6) Your bio needs to have your unique selling proposition. This will be your 30 second elevator pitch that will make your reader want to click on your website.
7) You need to track and test everything. For example if people are not subscribing to your newsletter you need to improve the copy on the squeeze page.
Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?

Article writing and article marketing can be an excellent strategy to promote your website or product if done correctly. When effectively written an article can bring highly targeted traffic to your business.
Most internet professionals write articles for two reasons. We like to bring valuable and informative information to our niche market, and to entice them to use the link we have provided in our authors resource box. More clicks mean more sales or subscribers.
The whole idea is to bring targeted traffic to your website. In order to accomplish this you need to put as much thought into your authors resource box as you do in writing the article itself. Everyone knows, or should know, that your name, your real URL, and a few sentences about you or your product should be included in the authors resource box. There are other things that you can to do turn an authors resource box into a top notch lead gathering machine.
Here are X tips to writing a Killer authors resource box
1.) Use Third-Person
Always speak of yourself in third person in your resource box. Take a look at the authors credentials in a book by your favorite author. I am sure that you will find that third-person was used.
Writing in third-person will help you gain credibility and result in more clicks.
2.) Speak of your expertise in your field
Suppose that you are writing about online gaming. Your might want to use something such as this:
Your Name has been an avid online gamer for the last 10 years and has participated in beta testing for seven online games and played many, many more.
A statement such as this will lend itself well to establishing your knowledge of your field and your credibility.
3.) Include a call to action
Human beings are conditioned to accept being told what to do. We have been told exactly what to do since birth. First our parents, then our teachers, and finally our boss has always been there to tell us what to do. Use this conditioning to your advantage.
It can be something very subtle such as please visit: Your Website name or it can more bold and direct such as Click Here for More Information
If you do not include a call to action you will be missing out on a great deal of traffic.
4.) Give away a Freebie
If possible offer the reader something for free if they click on your link.
A great tactic is to offer something for free but require that the reader exchange their name and email address for it. This will opt them into your list and you can market to them at your leisure.
While this will not work 100% of the time (nothing does), it will allow you to grow your marketing list rather easily.
The authors resource box is a valuable marketing tool and it boggles my mind that more internet professionals do not make better use of it.

Whilst it is fair to say that Internet marketing has certainly had an effect on offline trading figures, the comparisons are not directly proportionate for the simple reason that the Internet has opened up huge new markets which were not feasible before this 'information superhighway' was born. The interactive nature of Internet marketing, and the low costs involved in distributing information and media to a global audience, makes a very attractive platform for any business model, regardless of size. Latest figures from credit card companies report a 15 billion dollar turnover from Internet sales in the last year, and rising rapidly. So it is not surprising that budgets for Internet marketing are taking a bigger slice of the advertising cake and the numbers of individuals earning their living directly from Internet marketing are ballooning off the scale.
Internet marketing draws together all the creative and technical aspects of the Internet, which include design, development, advertising and sales, and the techniques used in Internet marketing include search engine marketing, email marketing, affiliate marketing, online advertising and more recently, social media marketing methods as employed in blog marketing, and viral marketing.
Internet marketing is the process of building, growing and promoting a business individual or organization through any online activity including websites, blog sites, article marketing, press releases, online market research, email marketing, and online advertising. In order to fully comprehend the huge benefits offered by the Internet marketing process, it is difficult not to draw comparisons with offline marketing methods, but it has to be remembered that one is not a replacement for the other. Internet marketing and offline marketing will both have an important part to play in the future of any business, assuming it is not purely Internet based. Let us now look at the benefits that Internet marketing has to offer..
Low Cost
Since the Internet can be regarded as a 'free for all' activity center where information is shared freely with all interested parties, the cost involved in the overall Internet marketing strategy is relatively low. Apart from the obvious expenditure incurred in operating a web site, a large proportion of the budgets set aside for Internet marketing will typically be swallowed up by services and resources offering expertise in the various marketing techniques that fall under the Internet marketing umbrella. For example, Search Engine Optimization plays an important role in the positioning of a web site in search engine rankings and the larger organizations will often employ the services of a search engine optimization company to carry out this duty. Equally there are Internet Advertising Agencies available to handle all aspects of online advertising. Smaller companies or sole traders may carry out their own search engine optimization and advertising campaigns and would need only a few hundred dollars budget for marketing software tools. Either way, the overall cost of Internet marketing is much lower than the cost of a similar offline campaign.
Work From Any Location
All activities that fall under the Internet marketing banner can easily be organized from a laptop computer. Most communications are made using online contact forms, email or instant messenger, and payments for items such as web site hosting, internet marketing software tools and resource fees can all be paid online using a credit card. Web site design and management is also another area of Internet marketing easily managed from a laptop computer. The versatility of the 'laptop' means that these duties can be carried out from any location and therefore those involved in the Internet marketing fraternity can easily work from a simple home office, or even when away from home. Commuting is totally unnecessary.
The Level Playing Field
Unlike offline commerce, the use of Internet marketing techniques now make it possible for an individual or sole trader to compete with the larger organizations in his online business. It's true that a larger company whose name was on everyone's lips would have a head start in the marketing of their web site, and a larger presence in the search engine pages, beyond that the doors are opened and it's quite common to see a smaller commercial outfit riding higher than their much larger competition in search engine results. Yes the online advertising budgets would be much bigger for the national companies, but there are many Internet marketing techniques and resources available to the solo marketers that would help them to stay in touch. There are literally hundreds of new Internet millionaires developed on a daily basis.
There are also many niche areas with good benefits derived from Internet marketing, but generally the process is attractive all round as a method of promoting any business, recreational or personal projects across the Internet. Internet Marketing is where the future lies for businesses large and small. The Internet has arrived and no-one can deny it!

The money is in the list - or so they say but it is really true for Internet Marketing? It sure is and having a good list of targeted subscribers is the one way to take your business to a whole new level.
To earn a lot of money on the Internet, you need to build your list. Every successful Internet marketer has a big list. In fact, they can just send an email and generate thousands of dollars in minutes.
I don't know for you, but I like to click a simple broadcast button and see my paypal or clickbank account on fire.
To build an list, the first thing you need to do is to create an optin page.
Why You Should Build a Squeeze Page?
Many webmasters newbies make a huge mistake here. They just build a web page and add a small optin box in the sidebar or even worst at the bottom of the page.
The problem is that visitors don't notice the optin form and never sign up to their lists. No wonder why they don't earn a lot of money.
By using a squeeze page you can 'sell' your newsletter or optin in a more effective way than just having this small optin box in the corner of a webpage.
Once you have built your squeeze page you will need to drive traffic to your page to get plenty of sign ups. A very effective way of driving traffic to your squeeze page is by using article marketing.
So take the time to build your squeeze page so that your visitors will be knocking each other over in a rush to join your list and you will start to see some amazing growth in your bank balance in no time.

It sounds like a marketers dream, but it's simply viral marketing at work.
The Viral Marketing strategy is the process of providing your own free content be it product or service along with your ad copy, link, email, or other contact information.

Ebooks - Provide your website guests with a no cost Ebook. Inform takers to share copies of the Ebook with their guests and other contacts.

Software - Provide guest with a lite version or limited time full version of your software as a gift. Remember to include Ad copy for your most popular products or services. Inform takers to share the software on their sites and with other contacts. There are numerous vendors online to assist with software development if needed.
Articles - Write articles about your field and related fields. Place your contact information including website in the resource/signature box. Be sure to provide permission for others to republish your articles as long as the articles content and resource info remains unchanged. These articles can be placed in newsletters, blogs, and websites.
4. Templates - Develop your own website or other templates, include your marketing material in them and provide as a free download or an electronic package. Grant approval and encourage recipients to pass them on.
6. Discussion Board - Install a Discussion Board on your website, include your banner ad at the top of the site. Encourage others to link to it and use it promote their own sites
7. YouTube - Post a controversial or interesting video, include your contact info, and links.
To summarize viral marketing is a very effective approach, which allows you to reach out all over the Internet with much less effort.

All website owners desire to have an increased traffic that will lead to boost in sales and expansion in business. Let us face it. Getting to the top list of search engines is one way of achieving your target number of traffic. Most Internet users would unmindfully surf only the websites in the top ten lists of search engines. It is actually a very rare thing that internet users would still care to click the "next" button when they already have the top search results right there on their computer screen. Because of this, many website owners choose to optimize their website so that they will not be left behind the stiff competition of getting to the priority or top list.
Search engine optimization is the answer to website owner's concern to get to the top. Search engine optimizing a website seems to be easy but according to optimizers, it is easy and is so much fun. Search engine optimization is just the same as the first steps that you were taking when you were still planning for your website. It seems complicated at first but as you become more and more knowledgeable about it, it will come easy. However, what really is search engine optimization? Search engine optimization, as defined in Wikipedia.Org, "is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords." Its objective is to make your website position in the first ten search results of search engines.
Having your website optimized for search engines may take quite some time but getting the results that guarantee sales increase and amplified number of visitors will just be more than enough reasons. Just imagine how many competitors you have in your business. Most probably when the internet users click the search button and your company's website is way too below the priority list of search engines' results, definitely the users will not care to look for your website just to check what you have to offer to them. Instead, they will be more interested to check the websites that first appear in the top ten search results of search engines. If this happens, more often than not, your website will never get the desired number of traffic because your website has not been optimized. So, what shall be done? Only one thing that will surely make a difference: HAVE YOUR WEBSITE OPTIMIZED FOR SEARCH ENGINES so you will not be lagged behind.

Link Building is considered by many people to be one of the most useful and effective Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) technique to achieve high ranking on the search engines. Actually, if you have not done or started doing any link building yet, you should seriously consider doing some now or at least contact an SEO company that would do the link building for you.
There are different ways of doing link building but not all are good so you have to be really careful. Link directories are not as effective as they used to be, but they can still be considered quality links. But not all directories are good to use, and there are very few directories that are still worth submitting to like Dmoz for example. Another link building method that is worth doing is articles and news submission. The great thing about good article or news sites is that their article pages actually rank highly and send highly qualified traffic. So as well as getting inbound links from them you will usually get qualified traffic to your website.
Link baiting is a method where the quality of your content is useful or entertaining enough that people will want to link to it, thus improving your number of inbound links and your position in the search engine results pages. It can be done through your website's content as well as through your blog!
Link exchange can be bad for your website and get you banned from Google only if you got too many irrelevant links from poor quality websites. And if you use link exchange, you have to be very selective and be very careful. Finally you can use forums and blogs for your link building. Most forums allow members to leave signature links or personal profile links. If you make quality contributions some people will follow these links and potentially read your site, link at your site, and/or buy your products. You can also post comments in blogs with a link back to your website.
In the end, remember that inbound links using good anchor text are your goal from a Search Engine Optimisation perspective. It is much better to have 10 inbounds from relevant sites with a Page Rank of zero, than 100 inbounds from unrelated, Page Rank 8 websites. And think long-term when building links, as it takes time and will never be a one time work.

As the online business evolves the more competitive business people get to be. This is the reason why a lot of innovative and fresher methods on how to better do article marketing are being demanded by the business and marketing sector. Below are some of the suggestions on how to effectively perform article marketing:
1. Assess your capacity to produce more articles. The more articles that you are able to produce the greater your chances to attain more visibility in the online arena, thus potentially accessible to majority of the net users.
2. Come up with a long list of topics that you want and can write. This is to prepare you in meeting the demands of the online industry for more possible articles to be published. Articles are becoming the source of information of many net users, thus the rise in the demand.
3. When prompted to write articles, write the topics that are most significant to you and to your potential readers. Not only this becomes easy for you to do but more especially, this becomes a lot of fun.
4. Fill in your article content with the right amount of keywords and search terms to make sure that you get to be accessed easily by the net users and search engines.
5. Develop a good sense of checking your work. Remember that your article material is going to be publicly accessed and read. The word of mouth is very contagious and powerful. Thus, when you have a good quality of work, it is going to be easier for your readers to refer it to their friends and even business associates.
6. Make a good strategy on how you can better have good publication slot in the publishing sites. You will need to make sure that you get to have the spot where your presence gets to be easily noticed by the readers.

Here's the raw truth: every niche that is online is suitable for building a list of subscribers. True, every niche has it's nuances, different types of customers and even various marketing styles. But almost every business online can benefit from building a relationship with a list of subscribers.
Let's take a graphic design business as an example. If you don't build a list, and if your competitor does, you are at a big disadvantage. When a person visits a website, he often doesn't buy anything the first time. So what happens if you don't capture their details? They forget about you and find another business, and they may follow-up with this prospect and get their business.
If you build a list, you can follow-up with your subscribers about graphic design tips, the need for a great design, and also announce any special offers and discounts you have. This ultimately brings you more sales. Bottom line is, it increases your profits drastically.
The beauty in list building is that once you have a list, that's a repeat traffic source right there. It gets visitors coming back to your site again, and it doesn't let them forget about you. Most websites are only seen for a few seconds before the visitor clicks away. Don't be one of these websites; start building a list. It most definitely will be beneficial to you and it gives you great leverage.
So when anyone tells you that list building doesn't work for all niches, you now know that's not true.

First of all, SEO provides you with targeted traffic, not just any visitors. That means visitors that are looking specifically to buy what you are selling.
Common traffic methods like traffic exchanges, safelists, popup or popunder traffic, buying traffic and other methods provide visitors, however these visitors are not always looking for what you sell. In other words most of the time they are looking for something else. It means they will not buy from you.
There are many other reliable traffic generation methods, it is not just SEO. However SEO is one of the best methods and here are some reasons.
First of all you can get a ton of traffic, not little but a lot. You may require some time if your website is brand new to get rankings and start getting traffic. But once you get that first keyword ranked on top, you start getting rankings much faster and much easier.
It is because you get more link exchange requests. Search engines prefer old sites, instead of those brand new. Once you start making money you can invest to automate SEO completely.
So if it takes you two months to get that first keyword ranked on top, it will then take you a month to get three or four more at once. The experience alone and results motivate you to do more. There is another advantage.
If you just got the top position for a keyword such as free mouse traps it will be easier to get on top position the keyword mouse traps or cheap mouse traps. It is because you already have several backlinks with the anchor text mouse traps. If you have the top position for free mouse traps, you should have backlinks with that anchor text.
That is another benefit of choosing long tail keywords, which means keywords with multiple words.
The more backlinks you have the better. So after you get that first keyword ranked on top, while optimizing your site for the new keywords you already have a ton of backlinks. Your site is already established, not brand new. This all makes it easier to get high rankings again and again for new keywords.
So do not believe into what you hear that SEO takes long time, like six months or a year to get results. It all depends on how well you know SEO and how properly you follow SEO strategies. You need to learn SEO from a proven source, someone who can show you results. On the Internet there are many so called SEO experts and firms, who guarantee too good to be true results.
You should get on page one within two months, not a single day more. If it takes you three months you are doing something wrong or you can do something much better, or you are not applying some method correctly enough.. SEO can be fully automated and it can be your traffic generation machine day in day out. SEO alone is enough to give you enough traffic to make four, five or six figures income assuming your website copy and other elements are properly set as well.
There are keywords you can target once you get that experience and you have that extra more investment which can give you fifteen thousand visitors or more a day. Just from one keyword.
That alone should be a good reason to think about implementing SEO in your business as one of the main methods to get targeted traffic.

There are several different ways you can benefit from article marketing, from attracting traffic and raising your search engine rankings to earning cash for your articles. Here's an overview of some of the top sites out there for making money and attracting traffic with your articles.
Ezine Articles. This website's articles are always at the top of the search results for relevant content, and they've been around a long time--they're a great place to get started in article marketing. Not every article marketing site has a review process, but Ezine Articles takes time to review each article that's submitted. A link from them will definitely help your rankings and bring in traffic.
IdeaMarketers. This directory is more business-focused, and it allows you to bid for top placement on their home page. If you're writing to a business audience, it may be a good place for you to reach your demographic.
GoArticles. This site has been in business for a few years, so it has a good track record of success. Its content also comes up frequently in search engines. Links from this site will help your site's search engine rankings, and its search engine visibility will help you attract traffic.
iSnare. This site isn't free; they charge a monthly fee depending on how many articles you plan to submit per month. For the monthly fee, they will distribute your articles to a wide range of sites; its possible to generate hundreds of links to one article through this site.
Article Alley. This site has been around since 2004. One of the things I like about Article Alley is that it's part of a network of article sites, including A1 Articles, Women's Articles, and Article Heaven. If the editors feel your content is appropriate for one of these partner sites, they'll post it there, too--complete with links.
Associated Content. It's a different kind of article marketing--one that pays you for each time a reader views your articles. This site is more for direct payment than for generating traffic, and they don't give you the option of publishing a resource box for your site. However, if you write an article on a popular topic, you might earn some cash for your writing.
Constant Content. Like Associated Content, Constant Content is a place to earn money for your articles--not traffic. On Constant Content, you can sell your articles directly to buyers.
Article marketing is a great way to market your website, no matter what industry you're in. Write on topics that are relevant to your industry and interesting to your readers, and your next article marketing campaign is sure to be a success.

As an internet-marketing professional, you will need to get SEO business clients. This can be done with little effort, if you know what you are doing. Of course, any business takes plenty of time, and hard work to turn it into something profitable; so therefore, little effort should not be misconstrued as nothing.
Using the power of the internet, you can place ads in various locations to let people know of the services you offer. There are many places you can place ads for free, such as Craigslist. Try placing ads in more than one city, but especially focus on the city closest to your own, so that you may offer face-to-face meetings with your potential clients. In addition to your SEO business clients, look for web design clients, and offer a complete website re-design at a discounted price to the package for new SEO business clients.
You can find small businesses in your area to approach with a cold call, to possibility schedule a consultation. A quick Google search will render many local businesses to choose from. Let the business owner know that you would like to help them earn more customers, and do so by noting that you saw their website, and you have some advice. The local Chamber of Commerce may be a good place to start as well. Do not come off too pushy, though, as you want to convince the small business owner that they need you more than you need them. Give them some information that will lead them back to you, seeking more information about the services you offer. Do not be afraid to mention more services than the re-vamp of their internet marketing campaign. The more they know, the more likely they are to come back to you.
With proper search engine optimization of your own website, you can get SEO business clients much easier than without it. In addition, the proper search engine optimization will help sell your services once a client stumbles upon your website in the first place.
