Internet Marketing Indonesia Journal

Going “full time” for me was nearly accidental. I had been involved in various projects on the net, mostly my own “ideas” and such, or innovations of some kind that I was sure were going to be a big hit.

And you know what?

I always had no problem getting ranked, getting traffic, etc.

It was child’s play.

But what I DID have a problem with - and a big one - was actually making a living out of it. I sure had some nice traffic stats, and lots of compliments from my visitors, etc - but the proverbial “gas tank” was running on fumes.

I EITHER HAD TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT OR ABANDON “THE DREAM”

(Perhaps this sounds familiar?)

What happened next blew my mind. It involved me trying something one day (out of boredom) that took roughly 20 minutes to execute, and it promoted a product I would have NORMALLY never dreamed of promoting.

Or even thinking about.

Because I had subscribed to the belief that I needed to dominate my own little niche and do something totally “unique”.

That belief rapidly changed when my little 20-minute boredom inspired “test” made me $9,100+ in a single DAY.

And about $18K that month.

It blew my freakin’ mind.

That was more than I’d made (in profit) in my ENTIRE online career up to that point, even after 2 years of hard work, late nights, lots of traffic and “impressive” rankings, etc.

And it was from something that took me 20 flippin’ minutes to do.

As you can imagine, my direction just slightly changed after that point, and I began to focus my efforts around things that I KNEW were already selling.

Selling what people buy.

Quite the concept - and it works like crazy…

MY GOAL WITH THIS ARTICLE IS TO MAKE SURE YOU SEE RESULTS.

Not just “traffic” or rankings, that alone is not enough. Take my word on that one…

What it takes is knowing WHAT to promote, and how.

Because THAT is the only difference between going full-time or staying in “dream mode”. And it’s also a much easier switch than you might think.

Although there is some learning curve - but I’d say it’s worth it…

Alright - moving on…

What I am suggesting here is a business model that’s based on earning a profit based on the market value of the websites you build - and NOT just from their revenue…

You earn basically double what the sites would traditionally, and you can even sell sites that earn NOTHING for a nice little sum.

I personally think this is something that you should do as you start out in this business, because it’s the closest thing to a “guaranteed” income that exists as a marketer.

Largely because your income isn’t so dependent on marketing performance,which WILL take time to learn, etc.

(Even after my $18K “explosion” month, it still took a long time for me to “get it” and start earning good money consistently).

I should state up-front that this course is a “no frills” exposition of his proprietary business model and processes. By no means is this some sort of “mega package” with hours of learning.

On the contrary, it’s a workable, “connect the dots” business model that works, has always worked, and will work.

This in-depth course is the brainchild of Dave Kelly the creator of the now famous backlinking service known as Linkvana, you can find a full review of the product on the Rich Jerk review site

When you launch a new website you are undoubtedly filled with a certain amount of pride on how good your website looks and are convinced that because it is so good, you can’t fail to make it work for you.

But then, the penny drops! You realise that in order for it to be a success you need to get people to see it- Visitors. As without these,all your work and dreams will be in vain.

These are the realities of Internet marketing.

Many people launch a new website using Pay Per Click campaigns or PPC using sites like Google Adwords. This will bring targeted traffic, but will also eat into a budget very quickly if you fail to get buying customers to your website.

Ultimately, everyone is searching for ways of driving free traffic to their website or sales page. As a result, there is stiff competition for these all important visitors.

Now the penny has droppedyou need to explore ways in which you can improve your chances in the competitive world of Internet Marketing.

It took me nearly two years before I began to realise the importance of the following key points.

• Choice of Domain Name
• Keyword Research
• SEO
• Back-Links

There are many books and articles to be found on the above key points, and it is important to know the basics about how each point will benefit you.

Choice of Domain Name:

Although not critical, it helps to gain high rankings if your Domain Name has within it keywords tailored to your niche or product. Ideally, the keywords used will have a high search volume but with low competition. For this you will need to understand Keyword Research.

I say it is not critical to have your keywords with your domain name simply because you can have them included within your website title. The absence of them in your domain name simply means you will have a harder fight to gain a page one ranking. It can still be achieved however.

Keyword Research:

Knowing how to do keyword research is one of the most important factors in Internet Marketing. What this means, is that you will be researching keywords that people use when trying to find products or services on the Internet.
Once you know which keywords people are using, you then need to find out who the competition is. For example, how many other websites are competing for these keywords and then how strong is the competition.

There are a number of free methods to utilise during keyword research and it can be a painfully long exercise, but if done thoroughly, very rewarding. Because it is such a painful process, many people outsource this research or at least use a premium Keyword Research Tool which speeds up the process.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Once you have found your keywords, you then need to know where and how to use them. Again, a great many people outsource this task, but if you really want to be successful there are many books written on this subject that will teach you DIY SEO one such book which I personally have found to be of great benefit is 3 Steps To Search Engine Success.

Back-Links

You may already have read that back-links are an important part of being successful in driving free traffic to your website or offer. You may not know how difficult it can be to get back-links.

What is a back-link?

Search engines crawl all websites on the internet from time to time and count the number of links pointing to a particular website from other websites and accordingly award a page ranking accordingly.

There are many other factors taken into consideration during this process, but back-links form the building blocks of page ranking.

Getting back-links is again a time consuming task and involves many things such as article marketing, blog posting, forum posting etc etc. Again, a great many people outsource this task but as with everything, there is always a cost and this will very quickly eat up your budget.

Fast & Free Back-Links

Two years ago, I launched my first website and yes it has achieved page 1 ranking on Google, but this took a lot of time as I went through my learning curve.

Today it has 1820 back-links. Admittedly, I have been neglecting this site recently due to other projects and so back-links have fallen. But as a marked contrast,I recently launched a new website “Quick-start–to-Internet-Marketing.com” it has of today 1097 back-links in a little over 30 days and appears on page 1 of google position 1 for quick start to internet marketing out of 7,690,000 competing sites.

The only way I have been able to achieve this number of back-links in such a short space of time is by utilising the free resources from The Free traffic System.

Using the methods described above, have ensured an early success.

Although by no means easy, if you concentrate your efforts on the key points above, you too will see success.

About the author:

Graham Maddison is experienced in Internet Marketing and enjoys passing on his knowledge to newcomers to the industry.

Many people claim that there is no such a thing as Sandbox in Google and Yahoo. Google’s representative even came out and denied the ‘Sandbox’ concept. Sandbox effect is just too obvious to deny. They are just playing the words. Yes you can say that there is no such thing as a ‘Sandbox’, but there is a fact that new websites don’t rank well in competitive keywords. So, the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer is really depends on the definition of what a ‘Sandbox’ is.

In the SEO industry, almost everyone knows a newly registered domain doesn’t rank well in competitive keywords. These new baby websites can still rank well or even become number one search result in some niche keyword phrases. A little earlier I talked about how to have a Google Sandbox escape in the other article, now I would like to talk about Yahoo Sandbox escape to help new websites to rank well in competitive terms.

Google is more machine based, so what you need is to play with their algorithm. Yahoo is a relatively more commercial search engine. As you can notice their search result has more commercial sites on the top 10 results while Google has more non-commercial sites. Although Yahoo heavily relies on the machine to get the search result, it still manually changes the results to reach Yahoo’s best interested. In the contrast, Google almost totally reply on its calculations and data without manual input on getting the search results. So when you search for ‘search engine’, Google does not appear as the number one in their own result!

For a Yahoo Sandbox escape, you might need to spend some money on there directories. Although Yahoo directories are not appearing in the Yahoo front page anymore, people still use it for search. And the greatest thing about directory listing is that you can almost immediately (a few days) jump from number 260 to top 20 for a competitive keyword after your site is included in their directories. And you actually get real traffic from these listings. The directory would give you not only one link but at least 8 links. For example, you are listed in ‘oil painting’ category. You would be listed in oil painting category of Yahoo US, Australia, Canada, India, Philippine… For Yahoo, you know you are a VIP because you will rank exceptionally well compare to your competitors with the same amount of back links.

What frustrates me is your title and description in Yahoo search will be changed. Yahoo stuff would manually make a title and description for your page. And your title would often appear to be your domain name. If your domain name doesn’t have anything to do with your content topic, the searcher might not click into your site even though you are the top search result. What can you do? After you have build a lot of quality back links and your site has grown old, you cancel the listing.

If you have your own websites, there will be all sorts of people asking you to place a link to their site on your site. You have been approached by link buyers, link sellers, and brokers. Every one out there believes that getting links is the be-all and end-all of search engine optimization.

On the one hand I have to agree that getting links is important, on the other, I am not comfortable with some of the methods used. And to add to the already grey area of buying links for the purpose of altering your search engine ranking is a directive from a major search engine, the most major one actually, that they will be lowering the valued of sold links!

So, let us look at some of the basics of getting links that will, quite likely, be the smart way to get links.

First of all, I think that it is not natural to have many sites giving you sitewides. Why would a normal site want to give you a link from all of its pages? Ok, for a coupe of sites there might be some reason, but for the most part it is unnatural. The moral of the story is that, if you buy links, buy them on a specific page, probably the homepage, and not on all pages of a site.

Second, make sure that the sites linking to you are of all types. If your link building campaign revolves only around directory submission, or article marketing, or high PR pages, or the like, search engines might figure it out and lower your value.

Third, make sure that your links are added slowly and not all at once, unless your destination page is newsy. I am not saying that getting a thousand links in a week is too many. But a thousand links in one week and close to no links for the next few weeks might look strange.

Fourth, and this one is well known, make sure that you are not being linked to from a page that is virtually a link farm.

Fifth, ensure that your links look like natural links. How would that be? Well, on the one hand, try to have varying text in the link (this text is called the anchor text). On the other, you can try and get links to the main page as well as to other pages. This will make the links appear “natural.”

Sixth, focus on the topic or theme of the page that is linking to you. Focused links are quite likely more valuable. At the same time do not go overboard with this one. Unrelated links have value too. But the one thing that you should avoid is getting links from pages that link to a lot of “bad” pages. True you cannot control who links to you. But at least avoid knowingly getting links from “bad neighborhoods.”

Finally, stay away from reciprocal linkage. Reciprocal linkage is common in the world of blogs and may not be the poison pills that they are often known to be. All the same make sure that you do not have too many reciprocals. Surely you would not like to have the reputation of a spammer.

Maneuvering the business process and ensuring the right proportions of profit earning are the fundamentals of all types of the business, whether it is small business or the large corporate. Internet marketing is no exception. Online businesses employ a number of techniques and strategies to increase the positioning of the website in the improve Search Engine rank.

Search Engine Optimization is also referred as SEO is the process of achieving the best organic ranking with the help of some specified tools in the Search Engine result pages like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista and many more search engines and thus to enhance the web traffic for a website. Search Engine is rather a complex and on going process which normally takes bit time to show off its result of driving the traffic for the website.

As there are enormous numbers of techniques to optimizing the website, web masters use only the uphold techniques for the Search Engine Optimization Management. One of the primary things that business profession takes into account to summarize the tools for achieving the great search engine listing is the keyword which the web spiders use for extracting the related information. Many search engines index a page based on key word phrases and oftentimes add value if the key word appears within a certain concentration range. The caveat here is that many search engines will lower the web page ranking if the keyword appears too many times since this is alleged as an attempt to trick the search engine. Keyword search engine optimization uses not only keyword concentration but also keyword placement. Many search engines place higher emphasis on key word phrases that are placed in web page titles and HTML header tags.

Another method of SEO is to increase the number of links to the website being optimized. Most Internet Marketing companies design their algorithms with the supposition that a page that is highly allied to is more likely to offer quality content then one that has no links to it. Many web masters had taken advantage of this assumption by using link exchange programs to increase the number of links to their site. For this reason, many search engines now bring down two way links in favor of one way links.

Meta tags are one answer for the higher Search Engine rankings. The page title and the actual content are more important for the search engine ranking than the Meta tags. Visitors are also driven by the organic Directory submission services. People often mistake with the Directory submission and Search Engine Optimization being the same. Directories have the exaggerated part in increasing the ranking in the search engine rankings by sending a huge number of traffic.
