02 May 08 Marketing Joke!
A Lesson In Marketing
Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome - one has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by, look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.
A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none to the beggar behind the Star of David. Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, “My poor fellow, don’t you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren’t going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you’re sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite.”
The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: “Moishe, look who’s trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing.”

27 Apr 08 How-to: Link Building Secrets
The way you build your links can tell ubelievable things about you. Should I mention now that your blog or website now is much more important than your look? I gathered here main useful easy-to-remember tips for you. Stay tuned, stay modern and take care of… your website!
In the area of link building, there are many important factors to remember.
After all, link building is the single most important part of achieving a highranking
website in modern search engines. As such, there are many things that
can significantly impact the growth and spread of links to your site:
• Make sure your site has something that other webmasters in your niche would
be interested in linking to.
• Create content that people will be willing to link to, even if it is not directly
easy to monetize. These linkworthy pages will lift the authority and rankings
of all pages on your site.
• Create something that legitimate webmasters interested in your topic would be
interested in linking to.
• When possible, try to get your keywords in many of the links pointing to your
pages.
• Register with, participate in, or trade links with topical hubs and related sites.
Be in the discussion or at least be near the discussion.
• Look for places from which you can get high-quality free links (like local
libraries or chambers of commerce).
• If you have some good internal content, try to get direct links to your inner
pages.
• Produce articles and get them syndicated to more authoritative sites.
• Start an interesting and unique blog and write about your topics, products,
news, and other sites in your community.
• Comment on other sites with useful relevant and valuable comments.
• Participate in forums to learn about what your potential consumers think is
important. What questions do they frequently have? How do you solve those
problems?
• Issue press releases with links to your site.
• Leave glowing testimonials for people and products you really like.
Oftentimes when the product owner or person posts the testimonials, they will
include a link back to your site.
• Sponsor charities, blogs, or websites related to your site.
• Consider renting links if you are in an extremely competitive industry. Adult,
gaming, credit, and pharmacy categories will likely require link rentals and/or
building topical link networks.
• Mix your link text up. Adding words like buy or store to the keywords in your
some of your link text can make it look like more natural linkage data and help
you rank well for many targeted secondary phrases.
• Survey your vertical and related verticals. What ideas/tools/articles have
become industry standard tools or well-cited information? What ideas are
missing from the current market space that could also fill that niche?
• If you have a large site, make sure you create legitimate reasons for people to
want to reference more than just your home page.

I’ve talked about on-page SEO tactics, so now it’s time to describe some off page ones. Enjoy and use this for sure!
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a science of sorts that would enable you to ensure a favorably prominent position for your website in search engine results pages (SERPs). And since 80% of your traffic would come from the search engines, SEO methods take on a critical importance in the success of your online endeavor.
There are two kinds of SEO, on page and off page. This article will tackle the latter.
Off page SEO is all about the things you could to get a high page rank (PR) for your website after it has already gone live. These are the things which you actually execute outside the pages of your website, hence the name of this type of SEO.

All About On Page SEO
When it comes to doing business online, you will soon discover that it’s all about the traffic. Traffic, or the number of internet users you’d be able to generate for your website, is and will always be the lifeblood of any online venture. After all, what good is a website when there’s no one there to see its pages? How successful will your digital products be if no one would be able to know about them? Who will avail of your services when no one will get exposed to their existence?
Contrary to what many people believe, generating traffic for your website does not start once you pages are published and have gone live. Traffic generation strategies start at the very moment you are conceptualizing an idea for the website itself.
This is what on page search engine optimization (SEO) is all about. It is concerned with techniques that you could implement on your web pages themselves to ensure a good volume of traffic for your website. 80% of your traffic would come from the many search engines in the World Wide Web. If each and every web page you have is optimized for these search engines, then your website would be in a good position to have a high rank for the results of every relevant query.

19 Mar 08 Pluses and Minuses using AdWords for Adsense
The Pros And Cons In Using AdWords To Boost Your AdSense Revenue
For many webmasters, Google AdSense has become a great revenue generator. Since the program pays the webmaster every time a visitor of their website clicks on the ads that Google displays in their web pages, the same has become a truly viable and profitable option to earn a living online. As a matter of fact, there are countless webmasters who have dropped their day jobs so that they could focus on the AdSense program. They build dozens and dozens of websites, all of which carry their AdSense code, hoping to generate amazing earnings from such an approach. After all, if one website can generate $25 per month (a low average at that), how much could 100 websites be able to produce for the webmaster?
But success with the Google AdSense program is contingent on three things:
- Cost Per Click (CPC) attached to the ads that will be displayed;
- Page impressions, or the number of people who will get to visit the website; and
- Click Through Rate (CTR), or the ratio of people who will click on the ads vis a vis page impressions.
