Search Engine Optimization For Dummies
By George Christodoulou
farfastertraffic.com

If you have a website of your own you should know that you don’t get traffic by letting your website just sit where it is. You need to point visitors to your website somehow. There are a myriad of different methods internet marketers use to get people to come to a website. These include and are not limited to, paying to get an ad on another website, pay-per-click advertising, and advertising on an ezine, or an online newsletter with many subscribers. These are all very effective ways to get traffic to your site. The strategies you need to use to make these work well have been discussed over and over again. They are also very expensive in most cases. What I want to discuss is a free way to get tons of targeted traffic.

What I am referring to is search engine optimization (SEO). This is when you change some things about your site to get them as high as you can on a search engine. Have you ever used a search engine? That’s a foolish question because these are used by everyone. When you do use Google or yahoo to find information or products what do you click on? You probably click on the first one on the list. This is because most likely this is the best site of the certain keyword you are searching for. One way to get your site rated highly on a search engine page is to have a content rich site with your own high quality content.

If you search some key words and scroll down to some of the bottom sites on the page you can see when you click on some that there content is not really that good, but they are still ranked 9 or 10 out of thousands of websites for that topic. This is because some people take advantage of the “search engine system”. This is the system followed that chooses where you site will rank on a search engine. The goal of every search engine is to try and catalog every single site on the World Wide Web. Unfortunately this cant be done so they can only get some websites added to there “catalog”. They usually focus on the content rich sites.

There is a way to manipulate search engines to help raise your page rank. These methods are not easy to administer and they are amazingly time consuming. Some include changing the hltm or css coding of your website and your Meta tags. Search engines categorize your website in a key word. One way to help your page rank is by repeating a key word over and over again in a certain content page. If you “overstuff” a page with a certain word you will be penalized so I would advise against that. If you’re not a coder or a professional page designer you will not be able to use the Meta tag changing. If you do know how to manipulate code then you probably already know about using the key word in them.

In internet marketing there is a way to automating everything. Of course someone had to come along and create software to automate search engine optimization. I use software for everything; it’s a way to be more efficient and free up your time for more important things, or other aspects of your website. If you automate search engine optimization then you can worry about your content, format, product quality, or many other aspects of internet marketing. Automation is a way to get your work done with less work. It can be looked as like a sort of an exchange. You trade the work you have to do for a small dollar price. Of course it also does the work better, in some cases, then you could. In these cases it actually creates income.

SEO is a way of getting free targeted traffic to your site. If you want your site ranked high ona search engine page, all you need is a website with a lot of good content to keep people coming back and haing each page packed with key words, but not too much. The recommended amount is 7% or 7 per100 words. This may seem like it is easy enough but it is actually hard to make a quality article with repeated words. To make it easy for yourself I recommend you invest in automation of the process. SEO can be done manually and is the best free choice for getting targeted traffic to your site.

You’ve probably heard about how much money can
be made on eBay. With dreams of quick riches and
easy money, you are probably ready to jump in with
both feet – right now! The best thing you can do if
you are serious about making money with eBay,
however, is to slow down. In fact, just stop for a
minute. Don’t rush straight in. Take your time, and
do it right.

eBay has over 100 million members. Think about
that number for just a minute or two. When you get
your eBay business set up, that is how big your
customer base will be – instantly. 100 million people
- 100 million people who are just waiting for you to
get set up and running so that they can throw money
at you! Well, not quite. It is true that there are over
100 million members, but at this point, they don’t
know that you exist. In fact, no matter how well you
do on eBay, most of them will never know that you
exist. 100 million is a very large number.

The most successful eBay sellers started out as
buyers and you should too. This will give you a
sense of how everything works. It will also show you
how things are from the buyer’s side of the fence.
Let’s call this period of time ‘consumer research.’
You are literally studying how eBay works, from a
customer’s point of view. You may not realize this,
but this eBay buyer experience will
actually make you a much better seller – right from
the very start.

Really pay attention to the customer service you
receive from the buyer. Think about how you want to
be treated as a buyer, and take notes. Take your
time during this process. Interact with the sellers.
Get involved in hot auctions to see what they are
like. In your spare time, start making notes about
the hot items that you see. These notes will come
in handy later.

eBay works just like any other business. You have
to determine what people want to bu*y before you can
hope to be successful. There are very specific items
that sell really well on eBay – you just have to figure
out what those items are. There are many
resources for finding out this information. Start with
the lessons that eBay offers to their sellers.
Strongly consider attending the eBay University as
well. This is the next step in the process. After you
have had the eBay buyer experience, it is time to
learn how to be an eBay seller.

Read all of the information eBay provides for you at
the site. The information is FREE and you will learn a
great deal from it. Take full advantage of this – before
you start setting up your first auction or your eBay
store! By reading through all of the resources, you
will avoid making numerous mistakes that so many
before you have made. This is another step towards
building a successful eBay business. Once you’ve
made it through the learning process, you should
know everything you need to know to get started
with a money making eBay business of your very
own.

EBOOK DETAILS
File Size: 628kb Zipped, 829kb Unzipped.
Number of Pages: 1 long scrolling page.
Format: Executable (.exe)
Subject: Ebay Auction Income Streams tells you how to set up your own income streams using eBay auctions. It also goes by the name of ‘I would like to give you my Income.’

ABOUT SARA BROWN (AUTHOR OF EBAY AUCTION INCOME STREAMS)
Sara Brown is one of the UK’s top internet marketers she sells on eBay at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Jobhaters-Marketplace and also runs a variety of websites which can all be accessed from http://www.sara-brown.com/choices/. If you want to know more read her About Me page on eBay or subscribe to her newsletter through her websites.

ABOUT THE EBOOK
After reading An Interview with Sara Brown I was intrigued by her unique income generating methods and had to know more. This led me to purchase her first ebook “Ebay Auction Income Streams.” This ebook quite simply tells you how to set up your own auction income streams on eBay - auctions that provide you with a regular income for as long as you need.

In the ebook Sara discusses:
· Why she believes we are being conned by working in a Job!!
· What an Ebay Auction Income Stream actually is!!
· Where people go wrong on eBay!!
· How to make money on eBay with ebooks!!
· The best subjects to write ebooks on!!
· The process she uses to write her own ebooks!!
· The process she uses to sell her ebooks!!

Ebay Auction Income Streams begins with a quite long description of why Sara believes we are being conned by working in jobs 9-5, 40 hours a week. I can tell that this is one subject that she is very passionate about. Following this Sara discusses resell rights and then gets on to the main body of the ebook which is all about researching, writing, and selling your own ebook.

As expected I found this ebook to be a very interesting read. Ebay Auction Income Streams gives you real workable methods that can be used to get you earning from eBay in the near future. I found the best bit of the ebook to be the section on researching your own ebook. Even if you thought that you didn’t have anything to write an ebook about, after reading this section you WILL be able to write your own ebook on a profitable subject. What’s more, you can be sure that these methods work because Sara shows you how she is implementing them herself.

I agree with Sara, that anyone following her methods has the ability to create a profitable ebook that they can be selling on eBay in a number of weeks. I also believe that everyone who is not yet earning money on the Internet SHOULD try these methods that Sara outlines. Why? Because the big advantage of setting up your own Ebay Auction Income Stream is that once set up, the rest is virtually automated. All you have to do is relist the auction and maybe tweak it slightly from time to time. With many other products on eBay you have to keep an inventory, package, post, and sometimes replace items but with Ebay Auction Income Streams you can avoid all that.

Although this is a good ebook I do have some criticisms. Firstly, I do not agree with Sara’s view on resell rights but then this is a subject on which many people disagree. I believe that they can be used and sold effectively on eBay but Sara believes that you should control the rights to your own ebooks. Sara’s view does hold true in some situations but products with resell rights still have a purpose.

My second criticism is that I found the information quite similar to that in The One Month Magnate, although this information is tailored towards eBay selling, whereas The One Month Magnate is aimed at selling outside of eBay. Whilst they are both well written ebooks, I feel that I could have maybe made do with The One Month Magnate instead of Ebay Auction Income Streams.

Overall, Ebay Auction Income Streams is a good text to read if you have been thinking about writing an ebook for a while and need some inspiration. After reading it you will know which topics are the most profitable to write upon and how to effectively research these topics for an ebook. Although I don’t agree with all Sara’s views I still agree that this is a great method for generating and profiting from your own ebooks.

GOOD POINTS
· Provides you with a method for researching, creating, and selling profitable ebooks.
· Sara shows how she herself has implemented her ideas.
· Once set up Ebay Auction Income Streams are virtually automated.
· Comes with a free link to Sara’s resource website.
· Comes with full email support in setting up your first Income Stream.

BAD POINTS
· Similar information to The One Month Magnate.
· Only focusses on eBay sales when off eBay sales may be more profitable.
· I don’t personally agree with Sara’s view on resell rights.

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM EBAY AUCTION INCOME STREAMS
At the moment I have not implemented the ideas from Ebay Auction Income Streams, as I am focusing on creating “How to set up a Successful, Automated, Ebook Business on eBay.” However, this ebook is definitely going to be useful for future reference. I have already thought of the idea on which my next ebook will be based and I can definitely see myself creating some successful products by following the instructions in this ebook.

There are steps you can take to make sure that you are getting a great deal on the items you obtain through eBay. These same steps will also help to shield you against fraud.

Start with the auction in question. Make sure that you read every word of the description and the auction details.

Pay special attention to what the description and auction details do not say. For example, is a guarantee mentioned? Is the item new? Is it authentic? Is there evidence of authenticity? Look for auctions that provide the right information, and just keep away from those that do not.

Who will pay the shipping and handling costs? Often, the buyer pays these costs, but sometimes, the seller tries to charge more than the actual shipping and handling costs are. Be careful of high shipping costs, especially for items that will be auctioned off at a very low price. Note when the item is supposed to ship after the bidding has ended.

Don’t make the mistake of bidding on an item merely because it is a ‘good deal.’ It is only a good deal for you if the item is something that you really want or need. A lot of people simply bid for the sake of bidding - or winning - without having any real need for the item in question. Before bidding on items that you do want or need, it’s best to check prices around the Internet and the prices available from offline sources as well.

Learn more about the seller. What is their rating? Read their feedback page. Not learning more about the seller can be very costly. Sometimes scammers make their auctions sound like really great deals. Be cautious of prices that seem to be extremely low.

If you have been longing to start a business online you may be coming across terms you’ve never heard before. You may also have found the opportunities available are overwhelming. Where do you begin?

AFFILIATE PROGRAMS - EASY START

Affiliate programs may be the easiest online business to start running. Why?

With any online business you must have a product or service to sell. First you must create this product or service and then you must be able to fill orders.

Selling your own product or service also means creating a website, learning how to write ad copy, setting up a marketing plan, being able to accept payments online and obviously doing the work. If you’re selling a physical product then you will need to make or buy the item, package it and pay for shipping costs. If you provide a service than you will likely have to start by doing free jobs to build your credibility and then when you are charging for your service you are still limited by how much work you can actually handle.

THE MAGIC OF AFFILIATE PROGRAMS

Affiliate programs are a great way to get started in an online business. In fact there are even some ‘Super Affiliates’ who are making fabulous incomes from affiliate programs. So, what ARE affiliate programs?

Affiliate programs allow you to sell another company’s service or product and make a commission on every sale or lead. You do not even need to build a website or handle the transaction. Your job is to drive traffic (customers) to your affiliate link.

An affiliate link is a special URL code that will identify customers coming to the company’s site from your advertising. It will likely be the website address with a code attached to the end.

Some affiliate programs also have tiers. That means if someone who is interested in SELLING the product comes through your link and signs up you will also get a small percentage of THEIR earnings.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A PROGRAM?

You should research the popularity of some of your interests. Try to determine if people are buying that product or service online. There are many sources for finding that information including free ones such as the Overture keyword tool.

When you have found an area that is popular then type the subject along with ‘affiliate program’ into your search engine and see which programs have services or products for that area. You can also use an affiliate program directory.

When you have found a program that looks interesting you should read the terms of the program. Make sure that payouts are not based on a high commission earning or you may never see your money. Also try to choose programs with high commission rates. Often you will find ebooks and downloadable software has the highest rates as there is no physical product to make or ship. If you are satisfied with the terms then you need to sign up - usually a simple process.

START MARKETING

The reason affiliate programs are so great for beginners is that you only need to focus on marketing - not making - your product.

Many affiliate programs have information on how to market and give you tools such as banners, product feeds and more. You can also look for other information on marketing including writing articles, creating pay-per-click campaigns, commenting in online forums etc. As you gain experience marketing you will make adjustments to your selling and start creating a wonderful income!

Multi Level marketing is appealing to many. It offers
the opportunity to work part time with potential to
make full time wages. Some people make quite a bit
of money with these programs, but it requires hard
work to get to the top.

Choosing a multi level marketing program can be
difficult. There are so many of them, and they will
all offer you the potential to get rich with minimal
effort. Here are some suggestions for choosing a
multi level marketing program.

Start with a program that you find interesting. This
is a part-time job, and you want to pick something
you enjoy. If you don’t then you will lose that
internal motivation, that is necessary to keep
you working constantly each day.

When choosing a multi level marketing program,
look for something new, something that not
everybody is already doing. It helps if the product
caters to a growing or under served market. If
they promote a quality product, then it will nearly
promote itself.

Start with a company that has been in business
for several years. Some MLM companies don’t last.

Watch for unrealistic sales quotas before choosing a
multi level marketing program. Some programs
actually seem to set you up for failure.

Talk to as many people in the program as you can.
Use the internet for research.

When choosing a multi level marketing program,
there are many factors to consider. Remember
that these programs are about selling, and the
various programs will try to sell you on why theirs
is the best.

Find a program with products that interest you
and then find out as much as possible about it.
Remember building a business takes time and
effort, so be patient, and try to work consistantly
each day on your business. Choose well and enjoy
your second income.

I see all over the Internet people claiming to make tons of money from the latest network marketing or MLM program. All of these income claims are usually outrageous and often make you your emotions run wild as you reach for your credit card to quickly sign up with the latest program that will guarantee your retirement. So how are there a select few online who can profit, while a majority will never succeed?

I personally believe that it is not possible for the newbie Internet user to make money in network marketing or MLM online and I have listed some of the main reasons below.

I. You do not have a network of people to make you money

Another name for network marketing is MLM or “Multi-Level Marketing”. If you want to succeed in a network marketing program it is all about the size of your network. So what is a network? It’s an solid set of contacts who know you and trust you. A more common term for networks on the internet is “a list”. A list is a group of people sometimes thousands of them who have chosen or opted-in to receive a newsletter or e-mail from the list owner.

All of the major distributors in network marketing have a huge list. When they find a new MLM program to join, they send an email to their list promoting it and you guessed it…their downline grows virtually overnight. Then they can sit back and count their money as their downline promotes for them and does all the work.

II. You are unknown

Don’t think that being a unknown counts with all the millions of Internet users. In the world of network marketing being a well known marketer has a huge advantage.

If you build trust with people they are more likely to follow you. As I mentioned before, the top network marketers have a huge mailing list that trusts them and is therefore willing to sign up to almost any program that they promote. It’s no different to a top celebrity coming on your TV and telling you to buy a certain brand or product. Familiarity builds trust online.

This can also work the other way around. When you’re a well-known Internet marketing guru, people notice you, including the big network marketing distributors. They know that you have good recruiting power so they want you in their downline to build their organization as quickly as possible. However, if you’re just a little fish in the Internet marketing pond then you’ll never hear about the new network marketing programs until it’s too late.

III. You will not hear about the new network marketing program until it’s too late

The keys to success in network marketing or MLM is having a huge downline that will do the work for you. That means that you need a downline of experienced and dedicated network marketers. All the good network marketers already know about the program and have already signed up or dismissed it as unviable. They were probably on the mailing list of a big network marketing player and heard about it right after it was launched.

Who will be left for you to build your network? Not many people. Most people you approach will already have heard about the program and might even already be in it or might just be sick of hearing about it. You might be lucky enough to sign-up a few people who weren’t aware of it before. Unfortunately, those people are very unlikely to bring in lots of new recruits for your downline. In fact, the money they bring in will barely cover your own monthly fees. Eventually they’ll become fed up and quit. Leaving you desperately trying to sign someone new up so you can cover your monthly dues.

So, as you can see, network marketing programs are best avoided when you’re new to Internet marketing. You can put those dreams of signing up to a network marketing program or MLM and making huge amounts of money every month right out of your mind.

As an experienced Internet marketer you need to forget about all of the “get rich quick” and “early retirement” scams online and concentrate on building a slow and steady residual income and “get rich slow”. It is a reality, and you can start with absolutely nothing!
