		<description><![CDATA[Reciprocal links... Do they work to help increase your page rank in the search engines? Do they hurt your rank? should you even trouble yourself by using them?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="sfforumlink"><a href="http://seojr.com/seo-forums?forum=2">Join the forum discussion <img src="http://seojr.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/icons/moonsbynight/bloglink.png" alt="" /> on this post</a></span><br /><p>Reciprocal links function as such. You will place your link on someone else&#8217;s site and they will be able to put their back link on your site. It is a link swap. However, there has been a lot of debates about these links.</p>
<p>Do they work to help increase your page rank in the search engines? Do they hurt your rank? should you even trouble yourself by using them? To supply you with an answer to these questions, take a moment to think of both sides of the situation. When it comes to the final results, for most web masters, is the realism that they are capable of assisting you.</p>
<p>Some reasons why they may not be helpful. When reciprocal links first started to be employed, it was a exchange between one website owner and another. If you were practiced in a home decorating business, for instance, it would be good to work with and get a link to a site that provides windows. You both would benefit from a link exchange.</p>
<p>At first when the site owners utilized this theory, they found that their sites did in fact rank better in the search engine results. As a matter of fact, it operate so well that they went out and attempted to find more and more link trades.</p>
<p>And because of this caused the problem. Instead of working with other web masters to build a professional relationship and create a reciprocal link that rewarded both people, a lot site owners found that they could buy these links instead of working to build them.</p>
<p>Now they discovered that, they didn&#8217;t need to go to the trouble of luring in the other sites that they would like to get back links from, but they could easily buy them. Even though, this is not such a terrible thing to do, right? The trouble was that people were buying and using thousands of reciprocal back links for their web page. This is completely not natural and it just did not work out good for them.</p>
<p>But, why? The search engines soon detected this scheme of getting your site to rank better. So the major search engines developed programs that could spot this technique and the fact that websites that were employing this large amount of reciprocal links in this fashion, ended up being ranked worse!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building an email marketing list for your online (or offline) business requires a certain effort to achieve and many business owners wonder if it worth it. Building a list of prospects will provide you with a lot more flexibility and options. There are benefits to having a list&#8230;</p>
<p>* Should something happen to your websites or online content, you don&#8217;t have to start over and find new people to sell to. You already have a ready-made group of people who have decided that they want to hear what you have to say and have probably already bought from you.</p>
<p>* Typically, if you&#8217;ve built a targeted list and treated your subscribers well by sharing valuable information (as opposed to continually promoting to them), the bigger your list, the more money you can make.</p>
<p>* If you are an affiliate marketer, having a responsive list can help you to become a Super Affiliate, which not only equates to more income &#8211; it also means that you may have a chance to win cool prizes in affiliate contests. Being a Super Affiliate also means that you can becoming sought after for large launches.</p>
<p>List building requires effort to bring traffic to your website and convert visitors to prospects on your email list. Here are three ways to get targeted traffic to your website and build your email marketing list.</p>
<p><strong>1. Give them something for free when subscribing to your list</strong></p>
<p>You are asking your prospects to give you their email address and name &#8211; your prospects know what this is worth to you and they are less likely to provide their details unless they see value in doing so.</p>
<p>By offering something for free, you are overcoming this objection to begin with.</p>
<p>Downloadable audios are great gifts. Consider creating a podcast (mp3) of an expert interview, yourself sharing some great tips about your niche, or an interview with yourself sharing great information about your niche.</p>
<p>Another idea is to create a video demonstrating a &#8217;secret technique or discussing some of your strategies in a visual way?</p>
<p>If your software developer, why not give away some software in exchange for their email address?</p>
<p>As an affiliate marketer, you can write a review of the product or service you are offering explaining how you use it and how it helps you. In fact, you can record an audio or video doing the same thing.</p>
<p>Whatever you choose to do, make sure that you give phenomenal value with your free item.</p>
<p><strong>2. Post on your blog regularly &#8211; using your chosen keywords.</strong></p>
<p>Search Engines love fresh content and the more often you post on your blog, the more traffic you will get.</p>
<p>Write a blog post every day for 2 weeks and check your traffic stats &#8211; you should have more traffic!</p>
<p>Ensure that you have your lead capture process set up to convert visitors to subscribers &#8211; make it easy for your visitors to join your list.</p>
<p><strong>3. Ad Swaps are certainly an excellent way to grow your list fast and effectively.</strong></p>
<p>Find another business in your niche that has a similar size list (or similar response) and send each others offers of a free item to your own list.</p>
<p>The key is to plan your swaps with offers that will appeal to your niche and not to do it too often, as you will desensitize your list.</p>
<p>These are just three ways that you can generate traffic to your site and build your list . They all require some work from you &#8211; success doesn&#8217;t happen overnight and whilst you can outsource a lot of the work, understanding the basics will definitely help you. Building your list will most certainly help you create a sustainable, and profitable business.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are looking to really make money on the internet, you will have to invest a great deal of time. It may not take too much money to get off the ground, but you could spend thousands and thousands spinning your whees without some initial direction.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you have tinkered and toyed with the internet and you know that there are lots of ways to make money available to Newbies (a person new to internet marketing). You may have spent a few dollars on a program or two, perhaps an e-commerce website, a traffic generating machine, a list builder, an affiliate program or any one of hundreds of other angles. It can be a fun hobby, but what about taking it to the next level?</p>
<p>By learning from other people who have likely been spinning their wheels, you can save a lot of trial and error and expensive experimentation. Most Newbies are very accessible and eager to help. Even on line, the best way to learn is to teach. A basic knowledge of making money on line can be found at the Beginners Cash site. Everyone has to start some place, the starting line so to speak.</p>
<p>Why would anyone want to make their living from the internet? There are many good reasons to give internet marketing some serious consideration. Let&#8217;s face it the economy stinks and many jobs are at risk. People do not have extra money to buy much beyond simple necessities. Many people have recently lost a life savings in the stock market and those who make their living based on the real estate market have been and continue to be hit hard. On on line business never sleeps, it always makes money. You can work on it whenever and wherever you want and the sky is the limit.</p>
<p>You too, may be fascinated by the internet opportunities out there. You too, may have experienced clicking onto ads from arrogant snot nosed on line millionaires talking down to you. Many true on line mentors are great, but you have to weed through tons of them, and that takes time and money. One guy I met on line offered to help me shoot a small video idea that I had to promote my divorce website, and for a mere 12,000 a day, I could come visit him and he would honor me with his presence. If he was to come to me, add first class air fare, all fist class only including first class food and accommodations for both the day before and the day after our twelve thousand dollar rendezvous!</p>
<p>If you are looking to really make money on the internet, you will have to invest a great deal of time. It may not take too much money to get off the ground, but you could spend thousands and thousands spinning your whees without some initial direction. Taking the time to learn and study like your financial future depended on it is one way to do it. Another way to reach your internet marketing goals is to treat it like a hobby, with a hint of entrepreneurial spirit. Too many people, many nowhere near as smart as you, are making a lot of money off of the world wide web, shouldn&#8217;t you?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The various kinds of link building strategies may seem over your head at first, but give yourself enough time to become familiar with them. Read some of the most fundamental types of linking strategies.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="sfforumlink"><a href="http://seojr.com/seo-forums?forum=8">Join the forum discussion <img src="http://seojr.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/icons/moonsbynight/bloglink.png" alt="" /> on this post</a></span><br /><p>Reciprocal Links, purchased links, link bait, etc. Is one type of link better than another in the eyes of search engines. Do reciprocal links even work anymore? Which type of link carries with it the most weight? There are a lot of considerations to make which will determine what type of linking strategy you will choose to deploy.</p>
<p>To begin with, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the most fundamental types of linking strategies which have been used by internet marketers.</p>
<p>There is of course the natural linking method. This type of organic link occurs when a site has such good and well written content that other webmasters take notice and make reference to it from their own website. This type of link can be easy to obtain if a particular site has unique content and already is pretty well trafficked. To get a site like this off the ground can be rather difficult if no one knows it exists. There must be other ways! And there are&#8230;</p>
<p>There is the reciprocal link. When a webmaster finds a site that complements the content of their own site, they may email the webmaster and say basically &#8220;I will link to your site if you link to mine&#8221;. Many times a webmaster may simply link to the other site and ask for a link in return. This frequently works and can be quite effective, although this type of link has lost some of its value in the search engines.</p>
<p>Some may choose to purchase links that point to have them point to their own site. The more highly trafficked a site, of the higher the pagerank of that site, the more it will cost to have them put a link there which points to your site. You have probably already seen these types of links. They are found along the sides of a webpage or at the botton with the heading &#8217;sponsored links&#8217;.</p>
<p>Another method for attaining links is called &#8216;link baiting&#8217;. This method, when implemented properly, can help build links at a pretty fast pace. It can be done by getting a scoop on certain news or by piggy backing on the popularity of other sites such as &#8216;digg&#8217; or &#8216;del.icio.us. Write some good content, or write about something controversial which will cause others to take notice and link to you. It is usually blogs that participate in this type of linking strategy and it can be effective.</p>
<p>The various kinds of link building strategies may seem over your head at first, but give yourself enough time to become familiar with them. Depending on the type of website you own, it can be quite lucrative.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Keywords play a part in the way your site is ranked on search engines so you'll want to make sure you are using the right keywords to get those rankings up and bring those visitors in.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing the right keywords for your website is important for a few reasons, but the main one is traffic. Without the right keywords, people may never find your site even if it has the exact information they are looking for.</p>
<p>Keywords play a part in the way your site is ranked on search engines so you&#8217;ll want to make sure you are using the right keywords to get those rankings up and bring those visitors in.</p>
<p>Here are several ways to choose the best keywords:</p>
<p>1. Use <a title="Free keyword tool" href="http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/?subid=topniche&amp;roia=!YzY5OQBBAAICvg" target="_blank">Wordtracker&#8217;s Free keyword suggestion tool</a> or some other keyword research tool. This will help you figure out exactly what keywords people are really searching for, how competitive it is to get high rankings in the search engines for them, and even find some unexpected gems that you probably wouldn&#8217;t have ever come up with yourself.</p>
<p>2. Don&#8217;t only focus on keywords that get a lot of searches. These terms tend to be a lot more competitive, which makes it a lot more difficult to get high search rankings for them.</p>
<p>Think about who your competing with and possibly search for a better, less searched phrase to help target in on your market even better. You might consider some <a title="Profitable keyword" href="http://www.topnichewords.info/most-profitable-adsense-keywords.html" target="_blank">profitable keywords</a> as well.</p>
<p>3. Include variations of your keyword phrases in more than one way on your site. Don&#8217;t overdo it by stuffing your site with keywords. People want quality content and if you have an article on your site that has your keyword phrase in it every other sentence they won&#8217;t stick around and what good is traffic if it leaves and never comes back?</p>
<p>These are just some basic tips to help you get started on the right foot. You can find tons of information on choosing the right keywords as well as tips for using them correctly on your site by doing a simple search online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the most overlooked and under utilized means of website advertising, and even many web development businesses seem to struggle to understand it, and apply it to the websites they design and develop. <a href="http://seojr.com/category/search-engine-optimization/" target="_self">SEO</a> is simply the process whereby a website is designed and developed with a view to it being found on one or more search engines.</p>
<p>Search engines are the cornerstone of your website marketing campaign because the majority of websites are still found via search engines.  Here are some commonly asked questions about SEO:</p>
<p>Is it free?</p>
<p>For the most part adding your site to a search engine is still free, although with the huge number of websites now going live the wait for your site to appear on that search engine can be long (several months).  This is especially true of International search engines, many of whom have introduced paid &#8220;express submissions&#8221;.  These can be value for money, but be careful.</p>
<p>Submit to 15,000,000 search engines for free?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you believe it.  I do not recommend any company use these tools to submit their website to search engines.  These services can spam search engines with your URL, an effectively get you banned or certainly prevent you from submitting your site again under controlled conditions.  Submit your site to search engines one at a time.  Remember: do it once and do it right!</p>
<p>What are the tricks then?</p>
<p>There are several key things, which need to be considered:</p>
<p>1.	Domain name.  Perhaps the most easily overlooked, a domain name that &#8220;says it all&#8221; about your business is really the first step 2.	<a href="http://seojr.com/meta-tags-building-and-optimizing-a-search-engine-friendly-pages-part-1/" target="_self">Meta tags</a>.  While not the answer to your prayers, they are vital to good search engine rankings 3.	Keyword density and layout.  Attention to keyword density in your both your meta tags, and site text is essential.</p>
<p>Another thing to remember: search engine optimize every page in your site separately, and relevant to the topic of that page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Press releases let you use the social media to draw attention to your business, which makes it more credible in the eyes of the public. Use these five easy steps on how to make your press release more effective.</p>
<p>Proper Format: All of your press releases should be written in the proper format.  Your goal should be to give you and your business a professional air.  You will need to review your press release, checking spelling, grammar, and punctuation before sending it to any media source.</p>
<p>Keep it Clear and Concise: Your press release should be no longer than two pages. Media outlets receive lots of press releases and don&#8217;t have time to read a ten page report. Keeping your writing clear and concise allow you to fit in the important facts without going over the two page limit. As you decide what information to include, answer the following questions: who, what, why, where, when, and how.</p>
<p>Emphasize Benefits to the Reader: Your press release should encourage readers to do something.  Depending on the situation, you might tell them to check out your website, visit the grand opening of your new store, or attend your special event.  Your writing should emphasize the benefits that your reader will receive by taking part in whatever it is that your press release is promoting.  Instead of just writing a straightforward advertisement, make potential customers see what&#8217;s in it for them.</p>
<p>For example, a press release about a new food processor needs to tell readers more than the simple facts that the new product is more compact than older models.  Make customers see the benefits they will derive from purchasing it by wording it differently. You could say, &#8220;The compact size of our new food processor will let customers maximize counter space while chopping up foods with just as much power as previous models.&#8221;  This tells your reader why they need to buy your product.</p>
<p>Keep the Mood Interesting: You need to write in a style that will make readers excited about your product.  Dress up the facts in an effort to keep things interesting for your readers.  With the above food processor example, you can tell customers that &#8220;the new compact, counter-saving model will be in stores this spring, just when you&#8217;ll need it to chop up fresh veggies to make the perfect summer salad&#8221; instead of simply stating &#8220;the new food processor will be available in the spring.&#8221;</p>
<p>Keep Your Target Customer in Mind: Always remember who your target customers are while you write and submit your press releases.  This will also help you to determine what information should be in your press release and which media sources you should submit it to.</p>
<p>For instance, if you are promoting an event related to children&#8217;s health, submitting a press release to the travel editor of your local paper isn&#8217;t going to help you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Typically Pay Per Click ads are the first results presented following a search query on a major search engine. If consumers then click on an advertiser&#8217;s link and visit their site a charge is accrued. There is no charge just for seeing the advertiser&#8217;s 3 line ad copy. The consumer must actually click on the link. The quality score determines link position on a results page. It is made up of the advertiser&#8217;s bid price and the ad click-through rate also known as ctr.</p>
<p>Prior to GoTo.Com first using the pay per click model it was very difficult, if not impossible, for new advertisers to get to the top of the search results on major search engines. Since that time it has quickly evolved into the media of choice for many, many savvy online entrepreneurs. Instead of having to spend all of one&#8217;s time trying to figure out search engine algorithms and the like, Advertisers could now focus on buying the keyword traffic they need to succeed online.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s lots of debate about Pay-Per Click advertising. Many companies love it and others feel they&#8217;ve been burned by it. All a  Pay-Per-Click campaign can do is bring customers to your website. Many entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that just getting customers to their website is the final goal instead of just the beginning of the selling process. Once a advertiser understands this simple concept then they look at pay-per-click with a new appreciation.</p>
<p>Why? Because everybody wins. Customers find what they&#8217;re looking for.  The advertiser&#8217;s business grows and thrives with new business. The search engines get paid.</p>
<p>Presently Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and Microsoft Ad Center are the most popular search engines offering the Pay-Per-Click model. Even though it&#8217;s similar the submission process differs with each search engine. Unless an advertiser is experienced in dealing with the nuances of each engine, it is probably wise to outsource the submission and maintenance to a third party firm.</p>
<p>Advertisers can make sure that their product or service gets listed high in the search results by just paying for the traffic. It&#8217;s a mistake to believe that there won&#8217;t be any marketing costs in models like SEO (search engine optimization). Companies can invest a huge amount of resources both time and money in optimizing keywords, creating in-bound links, understanding and applying the correct keyword density and designing a site that still converts at a reasonable return on investment.</p>
<p>The best feature about Pay-Per-Click for some advertisers is that it&#8217;s fast. It&#8217;s tailor made for advertisers seeking quick results. If you sell seasonal products like chocolates, greeting cards and other gifts which become hot selling items during festive season of Christmas. A PPC model assures the advertiser his products or services can be found by the consumer in time to take advantage of the season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you have built a website; however, you simply are not getting the results you have been looking for. You are not getting enough traffic. If you are getting enough traffic, that traffic is not being converted to sales. Why is this? Why is your website not producing the results you want? Well, simply put, just putting a website up for your business is not enough, you have to make it work for you.</p>
<p>Below you&#8217;ll find some advice on building effective websites.</p>
<p>1. Navigation. Your website needs to be easily navigated. Your visitors and potential customers need to be able to find exactly what they are looking for when they need it. If you make your visitors hunt for anything, you can be sure that they will get frustrated easily and give up, which means you have just lost a potential sale. Therefore, make sure that all pages connect with each other and can be navigated to and from any point of your website with extreme ease.</p>
<p>2. Professionalism. You have to look professional in order to be successful. The look, feel, and design must look professional. Your graphics should grab attention by being clean and crisp.</p>
<p>3. Lure Traffic. Make use of helpful advertising methods such as pay per click, AdWords, AdSense, and the like. These are great methods of getting targeted traffic. Targeted traffic is crucial. If you are in the business of cake decorating, you want those interested in cake decoration, confections, and other aspects. Someone looking for pet food will have no interest in this website. Getting traffic is great, but if it is not targeted you are getting nothing but empty traffic.</p>
<p>4. Sales. Increase your likability in order to increase your sales. Because of this, you will need your guests and visitors to trust you. Clearly displaying your privacy policy, terms and conditions statement and guarantee will achieve this.</p>
<p>5. Build Your Customer Database. You can receive information to get in touch with your potential customers to eventually make them paying customers, if you give them a free gift. Everyone loves free stuff. Maybe a free report based on your niche would be perfect. You would offer this free report, e-book, or other product on each page of your website. You also will want this to be located in an area that has text boxes that function to obtain information about your customers, at the very least their name and email address.</p>
<p>The aforementioned tips will help to increase sales and increase the number of people looking at your products. The success of your website will determine the success of your internet business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To grow your on-line business, it is essential that you get people to come to your Web site and look around.  This concept is known as generating traffic.</p>
<p>Bringing internet traffic your way can pose as quite an intimidating challenge, as you are competing with millions and millions of other Web sites for attention.  Moreover, new sites are being launched pretty much every day.  Simply creating a nice site and getting it published won&#8217;t automatically attract customers.  New and smaller sites are always vying for attention with mammoth, internationally known Web sites.</p>
<p>Why is that?  Well, when people use one of the search engines (for example, Google, Ask.com or Alta Vista) to look for specific items or information on anything from shoes to business plans,  they receive pages and pages of URLs that potentially include the information they seek.</p>
<p>Large Web sites that have been around for a number of years appear on the very first page of their search, because they most likely contain these terms on many pages within their sites, or already receive a multitude of visitors every day.  Small and new sites with the same search term do not show up until many pages into the search.</p>
<p>Fortunately, search engine searches aren&#8217;t the only way to get traffic to your Web site.  Letting people know how to find you on-line can be accomplished in a variety of ways,  Try a combination of methods for getting your site noticed.  Some techniques for doing this include the following:</p>
<p>Engage in link exchanges with other non-competing Web sites:  Your search engine ranking improves (you appear on an earlier page under specific search terms) when you have other sites link into yours.  Adding their links to your site helps the other site owners, too.  Find sites with information or products that go well with yours, and suggest exchanging links.  Another way to get your URL on other sites is to initiate a blog on one of the blogging sites (two of which are blogger.com and blogspot.com), including a link to your site in each blog entry.</p>
<p>Article writing: Other sites and e-zines (electronic newsletters) are constantly in need of fresh content and articles, but often cannot afford to pay much if anything for this material.  They love free articles on relevant topics, and will gladly let you include your site information in the resource box at the end of the article&#8221;a great way to get both links and direct visitors to your site.</p>
<p>Off-line advertising: You can advertise your Web site using the exact same techniques that brick and mortar businesses do. Put your Web site URL on everything from brochures and business cards to giveaways such as pens, calendars, coffee mugs.  Advertise on television or radio, and/or place print ads.</p>
<p>Wholesale Website Traffic: This option is the best of them all. It requires the least work and it really gets your website real visitors fast. In a nutshell, you do not need to write anything, build links, or even lift a finger. If you choose the right company for the job, you will be seeing real visitors coming to see your website. You are leveraging their websites power to get your site popular, it is a win for you all the way. Please read on for our company recommendations.</p>
<p>The idea is to get your site name in front of as many potential customers as possible.  Using low-cost techniques like these can boost your site traffic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did You Know There&#8217;s a Way to Get Google AdWords Pay-per-Clicks FREE? Read On!</p>
<p>A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an &#8220;oversight&#8221; on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.</p>
<p>And no, nothing about his &#8220;secret&#8221; is illegal &#8211; nor does it require that you know someone on the &#8220;inside&#8221; at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.</p>
<p>Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly &#8220;&#8230;this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first &#8230; but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it.&#8221;</p>
<p>He has since gone on to begin and operate 16 separate online companies, in which he sells everything from toys and games, books, DVDs, pet food, and so on, but he sells his own manufactured products and is also an affiliate for other Web businesses. This is while he applies the secret he discovered.</p>
<p>This New England citizen has garnered $87 million worth of advertising that he&#8217;s never had to pay for. Most of this has come from Google&#8217;s pay-per-clicks and other forms of search engine paid advertising. Remember, again, he&#8217;s gotten everything for free.</p>
<p>His secret is so powerful that he can monopolize any niche online and can always get the top premium spots he wants in search engine listings, above the usual listing results with search engines.</p>
<p>Yes, he has to set up an account with each search engine uses. However, after he utilizes his techniques, he doesn&#8217;t have to pay for the costs that would normally be incurred.</p>
<p>He still has to set up an account with the search engines &#8211; but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.</p>
<p>The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years&#8217; period of time since applying his secret he&#8217;s done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really &#8220;buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential.</p>
<p>Now to everyone else&#8217;s fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he&#8217;s not promising any of us for how long.</p>
<p>One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret &#8220;he&#8217;s already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it&#8217;s still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this.</p>
<p>This secret is easy to read and can be understood even by those with just a fourth grade reading level.</p>
<p>And while you&#8217;re there, go ahead and scroll on down to see for yourself what others have to say about this secret and success are having with. And it&#8217;s now freely available to you, if you want to take advantage of it &#8212; for perhaps a limited time, so get it now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using different traffic generation techniques to attract website traffic is of the utmost importance to your online business success. Without attracting visitors to your website, the possiblities of becomming successful are nill.</p>
<p>The whole purpose of a website is to get visitors.  You can equate a website with a store in a shopping mall. No matter what you are offering:  vitamins, ebooks, software, information or just advice, without anybody walking into your store, you might as well close shop. The mall is your environment, as the World Wide Web is the environment of your website. You have to advertise your offline store as you must your online website, and traffic is your life blood, as shoppers are to an offline store.</p>
<p>Without website traffic you may as well give up, as a shopping mall store would close its doors, so what can you do to attract the traffic that your survival depends upon?  The answer to that question could fill a book &#8211; and a very large book!  Much depends on how you look at it, but there are basically four different ways of directing traffic to your website:</p>
<p>1.  Search engines 2.  Online advertising 3.  Offline advertising 4.  Word of mouth, or buzz advertising.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t have the time or space to go over all the techniques that you are probably use to hearing about. So let&#8217;s have a look at a couple of ways that are not talked about much but are very productive traffic generation techniques.</p>
<p>Search Engines</p>
<p>This is not about <a href="http://seojr.com/" target="_self">SEO</a> because you will have read all you can about that.  It works if you know what you are doing, but generally not if you just follow instructions by rote. However there are ways to use search engines to get to your web pages.</p>
<p>Smart pages is one technique that is used. Smart pages are created using keywords that people use in order to get information on the web. You create as many of these pages as you can using different keywords. Your visitors never see these pages, even though the spider can find these smart pages when they search the web. There is software that you can purchase to create these pages so you won&#8217;t end up with duplicate webpages.</p>
<p>When somebody using the search engine uses one of these long-tail keywords, the search engine is likely to have indexed your page using that keyword, and the visitor will be directed to it, right?  Wrong!  The visitor is directed to the landing page that the software directs it to.  You can generate hundreds, or even thousands, of Smart Pages on your website, each based on a little used keyphrase, but when it is, the visitor gets to the page on your site that you have programmed it to:  it could be your home page or it might be a squeeze page or a sales page.</p>
<p>That is just one of many techniques that can be used to direct search engine users to your website when they are seeking information with which you can provide them.</p>
<p>Online Advertising</p>
<p>There are many online advertising techniques that people use, including using blogs to advertise their URL and article marketing for the same purpose. Web2 sites have been used, but they are not very productive, but there are other options.  You can get free links from your own Facebook page:  for every website or blog you possess, and what about Twitter?  You can advertise your website on your twitter posts.  You can also use PPC, but not Adwords that can be expensive.  Searchfeed offers good pay-per-click ads for 1 cent. If you use searchfeed, you can get by spending $25 a day, which equates to 2500 visitors to your website every day &#8211; for $25!</p>
<p>Offline Advertising</p>
<p>When advertising any product, any traffic that you can drum up is good traffic. Go to your local free newspaper, put an ad in it advertising your website URL. This has been proven to be a great technique for getting traffic to ones site. Sending out flyers through to mail, you can purchase mailing list on peel and stick labels of people that are interested in online business opportunities. Post cards are a great source of visitors to your website. Sometimes we forget that advertsing offline can be just as rewarding as advertsing online.</p>
<p>Buss Advertising</p>
<p>Many people are scared to try buzz advertising, but it can work if you have a good idea on your website. Audio postcards were a good idea that never took off &#8211;  <a href="http://buzz.seojr.com/" target="_blank">buzz</a> advertising could have made them more successful.  Get talking about your product, and get your friends and relatives to do the same.  Leave business cards with your website lying around, and get posters going about it.  The more work you put into buzz advertising, the more effective it becomes.</p>
<p>One thing that is for sure, is that you will always need traffic to your website. You will have to find what works for you. If you have not tried some of the ways mentioned in this article, you might be missing something who knows.</p>
<p>The importance of traffic cannot be overemphasized, and traffic generation techniques are of extreme importance to the future of your online business. Why?  Because without visitors you might as well have no website at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Analyzing your lattice traffic statistics can be an invaluable tool because a symbol of deviating reasons. But before you can make full good of this tool, you need to understand how to particularize the tip-off.</p>
<p>Most web hosting companies will provide you with basic web traffic information that you inasmuch as have to interpret and make true occasion of. However, the earful you be told from your publician company can be overwhelming if you don &#8216; t understand how to utilize it to your particular business and website. Let &#8216; s start by examining the most basic dirt &#8211; the average visitors to your site on a daily, daily, and day book basis.</p>
<p>These figures are the most accurate measure of your website &#8216; s activity. It would appear on the surface that the more traffic you gape recorded, the better you can assume your website is doing, but this is an inaccurate perception. You must also beholding at the behavior of your visitors once they come to your website to accurately gauge the virtue of your site.</p>
<p>There is often a great misconception about what is commonly known as &#8221; hits &#8221; and what is really effective, quality traffic to your site. Hits simply means the number of information requests received by the server. If you think about the fact that a hit can simply equate to the number of graphics per page, you will get an idea of how overblown the concept of hits can body. For example, if your homepage has 15 graphics on it, the server records this as 15 hits, when in reality we are talking about a single visitor checking out a single page on your site. As you can see, hits are not useful in analyzing your website traffic.</p>
<p>The more visitors that come to your website, the more unqualified your interpretation will become. The greater the traffic is to your website, the more factual your analysis will be of overall trends in visitor behavior. The smaller the number of visitors, the more a few divergent visitors burden influence the audit.</p>
<p>The aim is to use the web traffic statistics to constitution out how well or how poorly your position is alertness seeing your visitors. One journey to determine this is to asset extraneous how long on common your visitors spend on your house. If the era spent is relatively brief, firm usually indicates an underlying problem.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know there are over 100 million people online right now viewing videos and that YouTube, the top Video hosting site accounts for over 100 million views per day ? Is that the kind of traffic your marketing efforts can afford to ignore?</p>
<p>Websites without video are slowly becoming a dying breed. No one can dispute the fact that marketing videos produce traffic and more sales. Video has become the rule rather than the exception and our online success depends to a large extent on the marketing videos we produce and add to our sites.</p>
<p>The new Web 2.0 drives most internet traffic today and it&#8217;s exactly in this new environment that today&#8217;s internet marketers find themselves,</p>
<p>Over and above the effectiveness of video generated traffic, traditional traffic sources such as PPC, are becoming more and more expensive, to the point were campaigns need to be touching double digit CTR&#8217;s to stand any chance of being profitable.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t misunderstand me, please. I believe in PPC and drive a substantial amount of traffic to my sites using this method. However, the web is changing and as internet marketers, we can either evolve or go the way of the dodo.</p>
<p>Producing a marketing video isn&#8217;t in itself a complicated procedure or one that requires hugely complex and expensive software applications. The various software components required for video production shouldn&#8217;t cost more than a few hundred dollars in total.</p>
<p>What can be complicated and leave us open to costly errors is the way we go about marketing our videos. One way is to produce a marketing video for our product or the affiliate product we promote and simply submit this to the various video hosting sites such as Revver, YouTube or Metaface to name just a few.</p>
<p>After submission, the video hosting sites allow us to further embed these videos in our own websites, without the need for any additional conversion. This process is simple and straightforward, but not one the serious online marketer should follow.</p>
<p>The reason is quite simple. Taking the embed codes from the hosting sites, such as Google Video for example, also carries across embedded videos from other users.</p>
<p>Video hosting sites group the videos submitted to them into categories. Taking an embed code from a video site could well result in additional videos being carried across from a competitor site for example. We would then be offering free traffic and advertising to this competitor, which is not really something we should be doing.</p>
<p>The best way is to convert our videos to flash and to add this flash video to our websites. To do this we need effective and reliable video conversion software.</p>
<p>Typically, videos tend to have large files sizes, so much so, that most of the video sites now limit the videos they accept to around 100 MB size and 10 minute length. This 100 MB size, gives a good indication of the amount of information we need to convert.</p>
<p>Video conversion takes time and if the converter we use hogs too much of our available computer resource, then we are effectively blocking any other activity we might need to do on our computer while the converter eats away at the video.</p>
<p>One of the most valuable commodities we have as internet marketers is our time. By the same token, Video is now one of the most effective weapons we have in our online arsenal. Combine video with effective use of time and we have a winner.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen too many of my fellow marketers invest big money in the latest and most complex video production software and then skimp when it came to the converter. The result ? Great looking videos that nobody ever saw simply because their conversion software wasn&#8217;t up to the task.</p>
<p>The top class converters I use cost less than $100. Low quality converters come in at around $70. Does that price difference merit time and frustration? Not for me and neither should it for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o54/imcobarn/seojr/traffic.jpg" align="left" height="120" width="90" />Most website owners think there&#8217;s nothing really new left to know about traffic, now is there? Maybe you know a bit about search engines and you&#8217;ve done a spot of Pay Per Click.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just gone through what has to be the most comprehensive course on traffic that&#8217;s out there (no it doesn&#8217;t cost $1000!) and let me tell you..</p>
<p>..most of us are probably only using a tiny percentage of the available traffic methods that exist, it is mind blowing.</p>
<p>Sure &#8211; the time and tested ones are still effective but in the past year or so brand new methods have sprung up that you need to master.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t master multiple traffic methods you seriously risk getting left behind in the dust of your competitors. Traffic has moved on you know.</p>
<p>In fact, what you&#8217;re now dealing with is &#8216;Web Traffic 2.0&#8242; &#8211; it&#8217;s an entirely different beast.</p>
<p>If you can start applying just one or two new traffic tactics (and this course makes it super<br />
easy for you to do it as I&#8217;ll explain in a minute) then you could easily double your sales and income. (You can <strong><a href="http://seojr.com/traffic.pdf" target="_blank">Download Free E-Book Here!</a></strong> &#8211; right click and save as or click on the link to view in browser.)</p>
<p>So who&#8217;s behind the course and why am I raving about it?</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s from Internet marketing expert Michael Cheney who has been online since 1995. What he doesn&#8217;t know about traffic is, quite honestly, not worth knowing I think.<br />
<strong> Read this <a href="http://seojr.com/interview-with-a-traffic-expert/">Traffic Interview</a></strong></p>
<p>You might have heard of Michael&#8217;s AdSense Videos or his 11 Days To List Profits course.</p>
<p>Anyway, this time he&#8217;s really pulled out the stops and offered what I believe is the ultimate all-in-one traffic solution for you for three reasons;</p>
<p>#1. You get instant traffic as the package comes<br />
with 100,000 ad credits to get you an immediate<br />
influx of traffic</p>
<p>#2. You get 50 How-To videos that show you step-by-step<br />
exactly how to get masses of traffic into your<br />
website</p>
<p>#3. You get a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic<br />
Action Plan that guides you every step of the way<br />
to get masses of traffic into your website as<br />
quickly as possible</p>
<p>So there you have it &#8211; if you want more traffic (who doesn&#8217;t?!) then you need to get your hands on these<strong><a href="http://seojr.com/trafficsecrets.html" rel="nofollow"> great videos</a></strong> and the instant traffic that comes with them.</p>
