5 Tips To See Your Website In Top Position
October 22, 2009
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, it means optimizing ones website in such way that the search engine will deem its contents more relevant than other websites towards a particular keywords searched by users. It demonstrates the links from other websites & analyzes the keywords to fit properly in a page that complement to each other in order to getting top ranking position.
There are following 5 tips which can help you to get your website ranked on the top position:-
1). Domain Name: Registration of a domain name is the first step one takes towards having a website. When you start thinking of having a website for your business, you must understand the importance of SEO from that stage only. Many people take domain names related to their corporate identity and others prefer to have shorter domain names. Search Engine give a lot of importance to domain names, hence you should include the main keyword in your domain name. For example, if you sell flowers in the UK and your company name is ABC florists limited, I suggest you to take a domain like abcflowersuk.com (or.co.uk). Or abcfloristsuk.com (or.co.uk).
Make your website Content Rich: While designing your website, most people focus more on graphics and animation and lesser on content. You can hire a content writer or if you can do it at your own, make your website content rich. As search engines are content hungry and also more content mean more number of keywords. Try to use text instead of images where ever possible and also use ALT tags for your images and give considerable importance to naming of your webpages, images and folders. You should name them including your keywords. For example, if there is an image of a Tulip, instead giving it a name like a1.jpg, name it tulip.jpg, similarly your webpages names should include the keywords instead abc.html or a1.html etc.
Organize your website into different pages. Avoid stuffing all the keywords and phrases into one page. Avoid the use of tables, flash, frames & java script & commented text in your webpage.
2). Meta Tags: Meta tags are also an important section of your web pages, they describe what the web page is all about. Be very careful when defining them. Leaving them empty or keyword stuffed is harmful for your webpages.
Following are most important meta tags -
Title Tag : Instead of having a title like welcome to ABC Florist Ltd., you should have title like Send Flowers To The UK, London, Manchester, Birmingham. Try to include your main keywords within your title tag.
Description: Description tag is the text which is displayed under the title on result page. Write here a nice description of your webpage, so that a user can have an idea about your website while searching it in the search engines.
3). Keywords: Keyword Meta tag is very important but be very careful while defining them. Keywords should be relevant to the webpage and there should not be keyword stuffing in the web page.
4). Create a site map: It improves the efficiency of the web pages by searching its content easily. It provides a relevant result by getting their index quickly. It helps in navigation of all pages included in the website. With the help of a site map, search bots can easily crawl link pages. Also generate google and yahoo site maps and submit them.
5). Increase your Links: Link popularity is measured by both the quantity and quality of sites that link to your website. The ranking of your website is based on the quality of links. Once your site is complete and running, Focus on getting links from other websites. You can easily generated links using the following :-
a) Directory submission: It Increases in the link popularity. It’s a fast and affordable way to get one-way links.
b) Article submission is a powerful method to gaining quality one way incoming links to your website.
c) Blogging – is also good way to popularize your website and getting back links.
d) Social book marking: It is a method to store, manage, search, and organize bookmarks of web page on the internet with the help of metadata.
e) Reciprocal link building: Exchange links with the theme based website. It helps you by increasing your PR and back links. Make sure that the site you are exchanging has a good ranking in major search engines.
The Internet Marketing Myths You Should Know
September 3, 2009
Every day thousands of people go online to make money but most of them fail miserably because they either truly believe one of the 6 Internet Marketing Myths or all of them. You can read them below and discover the grain of salt in all of them.
Myth #1: Internet Marketing is EASY
This is probably the biggest myth of all, and let me tell you Internet marketing is hard, it takes time, effort, not to mention money, and anyone who suggests otherwise is trying to sell you a bunch of bananas. Granted that it’s comparatively easier to brick and mortar in that there’s no inventory to carry, no shipping of goods no sales staff and virtually no overheads, but a lot of work is still involved.
Myth #2: ANYONE Can Make Money Online
Folks, this is simply not true. Unless someone gets off their lazy boy recliner and download/read everything they can about internet marketing, and put an action plan in motion, they will never make a dime on the internet. DO NOTHING, MAKE NOTHING.
Myth #3: You Can “GET RICH QUICK” On the Net!
This is the trap that a lot of newbie internet marketers fall into, including myself when I first started, why? Because scammers make it sounds so easy and let me tell you, chasing “get rich quick schemes” is a WASTE OF TIME! money and energy. It just won’t happen over- night. Instead do some research and find out what people really want and need, then give it to them especially a sense of reality.
Myth #4: It’s FREE to Do Business Online
This is one of my favourite myths because I believed it during my first year of internet marketing and it just wasn’t true then, it isn’t true today. Compared to opening your first coffee shop or gift shop in your home town, internet business start-up cost and maintenance cost is pretty low. Once you have your domain set up, you only pay for internet connection, advertising and ongoing educations, that’s it. You can’t expect to make money selling free stuff and ask others to do the same. Folks! It takes money to
make money.
Myth #5: It’s TOO LATE to Start an Internet Business
Most internet marketers would love to hear people say “It’s too late now, too much competition, I should just pack my bags and go home. The internet is too complicated, etc…” You know why? The less people they have to compete with the better which in turn will make them more money.
The fact is, it’s never ever too late to start anything and that includes internet business. I firmly believe that the internet is not going anywhere and you should too. Every year the stats will show you that the number of people shopping online is increasing, their spending money is growing and the number of people going online is increasing also.
Myth #6: The BIG Money Talk is JUST HYPE
As I’ve told you before, “it takes money to make money?” Well it’s true, although you will be hard pressed to find experienced internet marketers to tell how much they spend on promoting and advertising. Sometimes, you have to dig a little deeper to find the truth in all the hype you read. It’s a fact that the people that make a lot of money online also spend a lot of money on advertising, tools, resources and know how to get the job done.
If you are willing to take the necessary action to make ‘big money’ happen for you – it will. It takes time. You can criticize, be sceptical, and sure that ‘big money’ can’t happen for you – and it won’t. Sit down and write a financial and a sound business plan. Local Chamber of Commerce can give all the info you need to get started.
If you believe that you will succeed you’re right, if you believe that it won’t work, you’re right also.
To summarize, you have heard many people’s stories of how they’re making a fortune on the internet and how easy it is, but the reality is, some stories are NOT out of this world or unrealistic but it just doesn’t happen overnight. You just have to apply a bit of common sense into it, find what you love to do, have a game plan, stay focus and you my friend might find the right opportunity to make all your dreams come true.
18 Reasons Why People Fail At MLM/Network/Internet Marketing
August 24, 2009
So many people come online these days to make it big and work full time from their home. They work hard for about a month and then are left scratching their heads. They sit back and wonder why they failed. Where did they go wrong? Why is everyone else doing so well online? Well if this sounds like you I’m going to tell you, not everyone is doing well online and here are the top 18 reasons why.
1. Lack of Knowledge/Experience: Just like with everything in life the more knowledge and experience you have at something the better you will be. Think back when you started to drive a car for the first time. You were nervous and all over the place. Nowadays you don’t even think about it, it just comes naturally to you. It’s going to be the same way when you start your own home based business. The key is to learn as fast as you can by reading and studying everything you can about your business.
2. Self Belief/Mindset: When you have your own business you must believe in yourself. You must wake up every day in the right mindset telling yourself you will be successful. This is very hard in the beginning when you are struggling and trying to get your business up and running. The key is to stay positive and don’t focus on the negative aspects.
3. Sign Up Under A Friend/Family Member: So you got hooked in by someone you know. They told you that they had this great business opportunity and you were going to make all this money with them. So you joined their team and now realize they are just as new to this as you are. They can’t help you build your business and you find yourself stuck with no help. Try to avoid joining under people who are brand new. Try finding someone who can help you out personally when you have questions. Do your research and find a great mentor, not your best friend.
4. No Plan/Goals In Place: You must have a business plan when you start your home based business. If you start a business and treat it like a hobby you will make little or no money. You must have a set plan to follow and layout your goals for your business. Many people just sign up with a company and start running, going all over the place not knowing where to go. Once you get started in a company, take the time and layout your plan. Once you have your plan and goals in place you will have something to work towards.
5. Lack Of Self Discipline: Lack of self discipline, being lazy or procrastination. Whatever you want to call it, it will kill your business before it even gets going. When you started your own business you took on the responsibility of being your own boss. If you can’t be your own boss or you have to be told to do everything even when you know you should be doing it. Having your own home based business is not for you.
6. Lack Of Time/Unwillingness: It takes time to run a business. You still can make your home based business work with little time it’s just going to take longer to grow. Now I put unwillingness in here for a reason. Some people have a lot more time then they think. If you really want to build your business you can stop watching TV, playing video games, or even get a few less hours of sleep. If you are willing to make your business successful you will find the time.
7. People Want Quick Money: I’m sorry to say, having your own home based business is not the same as winning the lottery! I know everyone already knows this but, people still surf the internet trying to find out how to make quick money. If people would focus on learning how to market and sell online they would make money a lot faster than trying to find quick money on the internet. There is no such thing as QUICK money.
8. Secrets/Magic Tools: People are crazy about some words like secrets, Free, Automatic, Fast money etc… This ties in with making money quick and I’m here to tell you there are no secrets. Every business involves work. If you are looking for a business opportunity that will make money automatically and in no time, you might be looking for a long time. Magic Tools are all over the internet that claim, just click and start making money. You will need tools to run your online business, but there is no tool available that will make money itself.
9. Wrong Business: Sometimes you just get into a bad business or a business that’s not right for you. If you find yourself in a business that you don’t like, it might be hard for you to promote that business. If you have given a business a fair chance and have been with it for a few months and don’t like it. It could be time to move on.
10. Building Your Own List: You must be building your own list of contacts so you can market to that list whenever you want to. In the beginning your list will not produce you much money but over time as your business grows and your list grows it becomes very powerful. Here is the Top 5 Reason To Have Your Own List.
11. Looking For Free Solutions All the Time: Many people try finding free solutions and sometimes this can hurt you. If you are running a business you want to look professional. So if you go and get a free domain and it looks unprofessional you could lose customers. This applies to everything about your business. Look for places to save money but, sometimes you just have to spend a few extra bucks.
12. Investing In The Wrong Things: If it doesn’t make your business grow or make you money don’t waste your money on it. You don’t have to buy all the latest and greatest software to have a successful online business. Don’t get caught up in the hype of product launches, do your research before you buy.
13. Lack Of Persistence/Get Frustrated: Having your own business can be a roller coaster ride. You must learn to control your emotions and stay focus. If you are not persistence you will never be successful. You must have a plan and stick to it even when you are frustrated and ready to quit.
14. Shift Blame: Many people when starting a business shift blame when they don’t get the results they want. Many people will blame the companies calling them scams. It is up to you to take full responsibility of your results. You must be honest with yourself and if you are not getting the results you want. Ask yourself are you doing what it takes to get better results? Now sometimes you are just in a bad company and then it’s time to move on but, be honest with yourself.
15. Scared To Talk On The Phone: If your website is set up to collect phone numbers and people leave them, give them a call as soon as possible. I try calling people the same day they were on my site. By not picking up the phone and calling them, you lose money from the traffic you already have.
16. Commission Breath: Don’t be pitching your business all the time. You must build relationships with people and bring value to them. If all you do is pitch your business to everyone you meet and talk to on the phone, you are killing your business.
17. Under Marketing: If you have your own home business you have to market and market some more. You must get your name out and seen by any person who might want your product or services. The more marketing you do the more sales you will hopefully be making.
18. Under Capitalized: You can’t start your own business for free. You can do it very cheap but, you still need to spend some money. The more money you can put into your business the faster it can grow. If you have no money and want to start a home based business it might be better to wait and save some money before taking it on.
These are 18 reasons that could be influencing why you are having difficulty finding success in your own home business. Work on eliminating these fatal reasons from your business and you will be well on your way to achieving your hopes and dreams.

The age of the Internet is here to make your MLM/Network/Internet marketing businesses a lot easier. But many people still are not doing the one thing they need to do to own their own business. Now if you are in a network marketing company and you are not building your own list I’m sorry to tell you that you don’t have your own business. You are a rep for your network marketing company that’s it. If that company goes out of business or they kick you out for violating some of there by laws, you will be left with absolutely nothing.
So here are what I think are the 5 main reasons why you should be building your own list.
1. Security: If you have your own list and your company goes out of business or kicks you out for violating the by-laws, you just say goodbye and send an e-mail out to your list telling them about your new business/opportunity. When you start your new company you will have representatives under you from day one, especially if you have built a good relationship with your list.
2.Asset: Your list becomes an asset to you and others. As your list grows in numbers you can sell your list to other markets and companies to make extra money, however this not recommended as this then gives you competition. You will also lose a great deal of trust with your readers and many might unsubscribe from your list but, if you need extra money this can be an option.
3. Positioning: You can position yourself as a leader and an expert as your following grows. It’s really simple, the more people who subscribe to you and listen to you the more power you hold.
4. Marketing: If you control your list you can market any product or opportunity you want to it. You can write an e-mail every week/month promoting a new product you could. You have complete control of your list and the amount of income streams you can have from that list. However you must give them value (good information) also.
5. Follow-up: When people join your list they come into your auto responders. Where e-mails are sent out automatically and they keep following up with your prospect or lead. This is a huge time leverage and can help explode your network marketing business.
Now an auto responder is a 3rd party service that collects and stores the names, e-mails, phone numbers and any other information you want to collect from your leads. It then stores this information for you in a database. It also allows you to automatically send out e-mails to your list. I recommend Aweber or Getresponse for an auto responders (I personally use Aweber). They are both very good and reliable. If you want to be a serious marketer you must get your own list today.
