A proxy or proxy server is used for either easy access to a specific resource like a website or a page and its contents, or to stay anonymous when surfing online - mainly for security reasons. Using proxies is simply the best way to stay anonymous online.

The question is, "How do I find a good proxy?" Because finding a working and reliable proxy can, indeed, be laborious. Though proxies are everywhere and are easily searchable, you can spend countless hours searching for a good one that would work wonders for you. Some websites do provide lists of working proxies. I can give you some tips on finding the best and updated source of proxies that could assist you in your web surfing antics.

Tip No. 1: Check for proxies that were most recently searched in Google Blog Search. Blogs are frequent and have fresh content. There are a quantity of proxy users who write and blog about proxy sites and lists. Therefore, they provide user-based options and information. Searching for information about proxies from these media forms will give you fresh inputs on the "What's hot?" and "What's not?" in the proxy users world. 
Tip No. 2: Forums. I've made use of this a couple of times especially when I'm in trouble. I found so many interesting things in forums and learn most of them easily because of tips and recommendations from members. In forums, you can find varying information from user opinions, discussing about issues and topics ranging from the technical stuff to their favorite hobbies. Users discuss about details about results and, most of the times, rate particular products or services and these do not exclude using proxies. There are numerous proxy forum communities online that provide their members with frequently updated proxies. These are forums you can join for free and also give you access to proxy lists immediately. Lists are, usually, updated daily.

Now, with these tips, finding the proxies you need would be much easier. There is no need to subscribe to any charged service. No need to receive useless and bulky mails in your mailbox. Proxy lists are just one click away.

Memorable
Videos are remembered by your customers for a long time. Your business logo, website address and product names are easy to recollect when you show them in a video.

Viral effect
If you make your videos entertaining or informative to your viewers your video links will be passed on to others and will create a viral effect before you know it thousands and thousands of people would be exposed to your website.

Its not uncommon to see a video which has 10,000 views actually 10,000 is a conservative figure. Even if only 10% of these viewers go to your website that is 1000 targeted visitors to your website.
Case in point the success of the movie "The Secret" was mainly based on a preview video released by the creators of the movie. Everywhere people were posting the links for the trailer and when the movie was released after 2 months it was selling like crazy.

Improve Stickiness
As you create more videos people will start to go to your website to see if you have the information they are looking for. For instance you have a cooking website and you released a video on Curry recipe the person who watched the video may come to your website to see if you have anything related to low fat recipe.

Increased Trust level
Studies show that the trust level for a brand image increases after people watch a video about the company. As you release more videos you will start to build a raving fan base for your website and they will promote you for free in forums and discussion groups.

Stand out from the competition
If your competitors are not aware of video marketing you already have an edge over them. Videos help you to gain more respect and credibility with your prospects. They will eagerly subscribe to your lists and see what else you have in store for them.

In the past few months I have heard many business owners and C-level execs tell me that their social media is being handled in-house. "That's great!" I tell them and then I ask who is responsible for it. Here we go... An intern. An assistant. The marketing department. The receptionist. Human resources. A manager. Customer service reps. The folks in IT. I could keep going.

My first thought is that those companies who want to keep it in house but don't want to pay a strategist give the responsibilities to the first person they come across with a little time on their hands, or someone they've overheard chatting out their Facebook page. My second thought is that anyone who is hiring for any position right now is looking for candidates who also have a little online marketing experience. So on Friday I conducted a little research of my own - a survey of Craigslist job postings over the last 30 days, looking for the employer's remedy to the social media issue.

First stop Maine. A quick search brings up 2 positions that require some sort of social networking background - a writer and a web guru.
Second stop, Alaska (why not, right?) One job, a nonprofit development director.
Onto Vermont. 1 Public relations, 1 position created to be solely dedicated to social communications and 4 agency positions.

Austin. 22 Jobs. 4 with an agency, 3 Content writers or PT bloggers, 5 in a company's marketing department, 2 sales assistants, 1 SEO Manager, 6 web designers, 1 customer service rep, and 1 intern. And then there was one company that was searching for a legal secretary that wanted you to forward your social networking profiles along with your resume.

This is the point where I realized that I had bitten off more than I could chew. Chicago listed 68 job postings that contained a SM requirement; 10 of these were for interns. Boston seeks 112 job candidates this month with SM skills, 20 of which are interns.

Los Angeles - 205 jobs posted that require SM know-how; 38 for interns only.
And my favorite, NYC - where there was over 750 jobs posted that contained the term "social media" in the job description - for FRIDAY ONLY. This is crazy!! Ten of the 700+ were for office assistants. More than 40 were for Business development or Sales. Less than 20 were looking for web producers.
Sorry interns - only 54 of them were for you. On Friday. You might have more luck to check in on a Monday. Or quite possibly a Wednesday.

The Internet is changing everyday...and fast! It's hard to keep up with all the changes that take place daily that could benefit your business online. Recent changes include what is called "social media." This is the new power of the Internet and it can deliver the message of your business more quickly and completely than typical media outlets of the past. And with this new media is the opportunity to create a presence online with lightening speed with virtually no cost. The costs relative to social media are the training and labor to implement the tasks. Outsourcing then becomes the perfect solution.

Consider these costs. Online video can put your business in front of the eyes of millions of potential prospects for almost nothing. Video hosting on YouTube, Facebook and other social sites is free. How much would you spend in print ads to get the same exposure? The training to learn to execute these tasks properly can be expensive. But what if an outsourced rep already had these skills? And since this social media can be accessed through the Internet, any employee with a computer could get the job done. Why pay for expensive American labor when an outsourced rep can do the same work for half the price?

Half a billion people are part of some social network or another. They access these sites everyday. They search for information, build relationships and partake in online commerce to the tune of over $200 billion a year. Is your business a part of this growing trend? If not, you may be left far behind. Outsourcing with Internet savvy assistants can help skyrocket the sales of your business. You need to find any and every avenue available to compete in this tough economy. And you need to save money doing it.

Demystify this online process by hiring an overseas rep trained in social media. Use the power of videos, MP3's, blogging and relationship building to grow your company image and take advantage of the Internet as a worldwide marketing tool. E-commerce is the future. You need to be a part of it. Help is available to make your business the best it can be, you just have to know where to look.

Are you looking for more ideas for topics to Tweet about? Would you like to use Twitter in a positive way that ties in with the Law of Attraction and can help you grow your business too?
Here is the basic idea: Write Tweets about people, products, services, and events that you appreciate. It feels great to pass along a compliment and to provide heartfelt praise and appreciation.
This is a great way to activate the Law of Attraction, because what you focus on tends to expand. By focussing on things that you appreciate, more good things to appreciate seem to just naturally be drawn to you.

Here are some ideas to get you started.
1. Tweet about a business that provided you with great service. If you can be specific about what you appreciated, that's especially nice. For example, were they extra friendly, especially thorough, or particularly attentive to your needs? This makes a great Tweet!

2. If the person you want to compliment has a Twitter account, you can mention them on Twitter on Friday, as part of "FollowFriday." Just add #FF or #FollowFriday along with a note about why the person would be good for other people to "follow" on Twitter.

3. If a colleague or professional acquaintance helps you with a favor or with information, you can mention them and thank them on Twitter, perhaps including a link to their website if you have enough space in your Tweet.

4. When you use a product that you like, write a Tweet about it. Mention specifically what you like about it. You could also mention the brand or the manufacturer as well as the specific product or model number.

5. When you read an article or a book that you find helpful, write a quick Tweet about it. If there is a link to an online webpage about it, you can include it in your Tweet too.

As you go through your day, notice things you are grateful for or that you appreciate. Challenge yourself or make it a game to find at least one or two positive things you could Tweet about each day.

First, You have to know how to get a lot of Twitter followers within a short time. These followers should be targeted followers. You need these people because they are the ones who will be interested in your tweets. They are the people who will buy your product so you can make money from them.

If you want people to add your account on Twitter, you have to study from someone who have done that before. In addition, you don't want to spend too much time because you want to get the most followers as fast as possible to make lots of cash in your business.

Imagine that if you have 10,000 followers in just few months and they're targeted followers. Even if you get only 5% of follower's attention, it is 500 people!

Understand how to use Twitter effectively by setting everything automatically. Don't worry in what other people have to say because you just want to increase your followers. That is your primary objective to make money. If you are using a lot of time trying to build up your account, it is wasting your time because you can do it automatically. Twitter is now the greatest online social networking so you should use it effectively.
The first time that I started using it, I didn't have any knowledge or information about what I was doing, and I was so excited when I get over 100 followers. After understanding from the people who know what they are talking about, my business began to make a lot of cash and profit.

Once one is introduced to a social bookmarking site, the possibilities to use them as traffic generation tools immediately becomes apparent. The thing that stops people from using these sites is the fact that getting to the front page of one of the more popular social bookmarking sites such as say, Digg or StumbleUpon is not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.

The key to using social bookmarking sites properly is the same across the board and there are a few tips to help you on your way to becoming a social bookmarking sites poweruser. The key thing is to think of these sites not just as bookmarking sites, but to focus more on the social aspects of these sites. While some of these tips might seem to be obvious - it is really surprising how many people neglect to put them into practice.
The first and foremost of these superuser tips is to make sure the first impression you present is eye-catching and interesting. Make sure your avatar easily catches the eye and is memorable. The problem with this is that you may not notice a difference in the short term (two weeks to a month) but with enough diligence you can make sure that your Name and Profile Picture do more than anything else to net you extra Diggs or Stumbles.
Another thing is to become friends with as many people as possible. This is not an overnight job and needs to be done carefully. No one will like it if you start adding dozens of friends... they will get the idea that you are trying to use them. Rather start commenting Diggs or Stumbles that you think have a chance to make the front page. Add other people's bookmarks to your profile so that you have a reason to add them to your friends list. The best place to do this is to bookmark stories that in either the upcoming section or a specific group (obviously relating to your niche). Adding constructive comments, ie: not "Nice link +1", or anything to that effect is also a sure fire way to get noticed. Being vocal, but also poignant will give you a lot of points with the people who regularly share favored pages using these social bookmarking sites.

Then there is the other factor to consider. Is the site that you would like to promote actually interesting to people on that particular social networking site? It is a widely known fact that Digg users will generally ignore anything to do with Affiliate Marketing or SEO.

The final phase is to test, and if the test fails to try and correct yourself. Submit stories from other bookmarking sites, or just generally interesting pages you maybe come across to get a feel for how many people will like your suggestion. IF you get between 8 and 12 "likes" then you are doing something wrong. Go back and try to see where you went wrong and fix it. If you start getting higher numbers then enjoy the flow of eyes to your site and congratulate yourself - you have become a social networking sites poweruser!

How it works
This method starts when you assign tags to each resource. This in turn results to a user-directed method of categorizing information. Many social bookmarking services display the one who created the bookmarks and provide access to other bookmarked resources from that person. This is particularly helpful in aiding users make social connections with others who are interested in a topic or any topic.

The users of these services are also provided with a tool to see how many have used the tag. They can also search for every resource that has been assigned to a specific tag. Eventually, this will result in the development of a unique keyword structure used to define resources.
Significance of the practice

Social bookmarking provides users with a chance to express their own perspectives on resources and information through an organized structure. This will allow like-minded individuals to find each other and build their own communities that help common tags for resources and "folksonomies" evolve. Furthermore, the practice helps user find any related information to the topic they are searching for even in areas that aren't usually connected to the primary topic.

Progress and development
The technology that made social bookmarking possible is not that complex. This means that the process can easily develop and progress in the future. The practice is also slowly integrating itself into other applications. For instance, tagging information is now applicable to other types of resources, including e-mail and multimedia files. One can expect the function of this method to develop further in order to accommodate more and newer ways of managing loads of information.

Effects in learning and teaching
Social bookmarking's way of tagging resources with keywords can possible change the method of storing and finding information. The practice helps conveniently simply the process of distributing reference lists, papers, bibliographies and other resources to students and peers. Now, you don't have to worry about going through plenty of stuffs just to find the right information you are looking for - all you need is a keyword.

The changeable business environment has made the competition among businesses more aggressive and fierce. As a result, the marketers have felt the need to introduce creative and innovative ideas to build a favorable and long lasting image in the public. Creative and unique forms of promotion are also essential to have an edge over the competitors in the marketplace.

There are various ways to communicate efficiently to the potential customers. Entrepreneurs employ broadcast, print and online advertisements. They either promote the brand name of the organization or sell products and services. Internet is one of the widely used medium to advertise the products and services. The advertisers commonly deploy web banners as this form has the potential to promote the brand effectively and efficiently.

Web banner advertisements are widely used as they offer a marketer various advantages. An advertiser can promote his advertisements on various other websites that relate to the advertiser's business. For example, a marketer selling ice cream can place his advertisement on websites that sell ice cream glasses or cups and other such related things. A marketer does not have to depend on the customer to visit his website. An advertiser can reach the wider customer base through other advertiser's websites. A businessperson should create an attractive advertisement to allure the attention of a viewer instantly.

A banner designer can use sound and animation to make the promotion appear unique. You can also use flash that is an interactive feature. An interactive feature on the web page catches the attention of a viewer easily. However, it should not obstruct the reader from viewing the information on the page. This might distract a reader's attention and he may not view the advertisement. An advertiser can use flash for this purpose. Flash banners are able to deliver the effects of fine quality. They use vector animation that occupies less memory. Animated banners unfold a wide spectrum of colors for an advertiser to select. You should use colors that reflect the logo or product of the company. This is to create a visual impact on the mind of an onlooker.
Communicating a commercial message effectively to the prospective customers is one of the key factors of a marketer's success in the fierce battle of competition.

All my life my mom has always been at home with us, she is a typical housewife, who takes care of the kids, her husband and the households. We are very grateful to have our mom at home always, she is always there for us taking care of all our needs, and she preferred to be with us than look for a job. In this case many of you may think that we are lucky to have this kind of situation and upbringing. I must agree to that but in the other side we felt that we have taken for granted my mom for not giving her a chance to earn her own money, having that sense of experience may help her to gain her self-fulfillment because she is a college graduate. We are looking for chance to give this kind of opportunity to my mom. One time while surfing the internet, I came across something very interesting, it is said in the website that upon answering surveys you could actually earn money to my surprise to their claim I made more research about it. That's when I discover that there are a lot of online jobs lurking in the internet today and one of it is paid surveys. For some who are not familiar on what I'm talking about, Paid survey is an online job opportunity where you will only need to register on legitimate sites that offer surveys to answers and in return they will compensate you in forms of cash or coupons or it can even be new products.

Upon hearing this kind of opportunity I immediately informed my mom about this opportunity at first she is reluctant because she haven't heard anything about that, it is sounding like a scam to her. With that kind of impression I sorted in showing her the job opportunity, I told her that I think it's worth the try, since me and my siblings are out of the house for work or school the whole day, she has some time to spare to avoid boredom since she loves surfing the internet, why not give about 30minutes of her time learning and researching about this opportunity. To my amazement my mom told me one day that she was already registered in one of the sites that offers surveys as a job, we were surprised that she told a lot of things about paid surveys, like there are sites that are asking for fees before you will be able to register, and also that there are some illegal sites. The job started very slow for my mom, it took her two month before it was totally full-blown money maker for her, and she is getting 1-5 survey requests per day which pays 1-10 dollars per surveys. There are times that she can earn about 100 dollars a week, it maybe small but I think it's relevant enough for a job which doesn't require a lot of time and effort.

Are you a college graduate that doesn't have a job? Are you currently looking for job? Any job at all just to keep up with your expenses? Tired of going to buildings after buildings just to look for a job and end up waiting for there response to your application. If you have already submitted about 30 of your resume to companies and you felt you just need to wait for the outcome, why not make the wait more prosperous by looking for a part-time job with no hassle and much effort needed from you, and then online job is perfect for you. There are a lot of online jobs available in the internet, like transcription job, creative writing, and doing surveys etc.

You might be wondering to those you are new in this industry, there is a job called online surveys. This work is just taking the surveys sets by the marketing research companies and in every surveys you will be given incentives, it may be by money/cash, or even gift checks. Why did I say that this job is ideal for this scenario? That is because the task doesn't require a lot of time from you since you are waiting for any interviews from companies you applied; it doesn't require a lot of effort at all since you are expecting to get a full-time job, as long as you have a computer and internet connection even at you home you can participate in this job.
You just have to remember some important things about this job, one is you will need to do some research about it, It is safe to say that information is readily available, just try searching it in the internet and you will find thousands of sites about it. Those researches will help you understand further the true aspect of the work it could also help you to look for legitimates surveys sites thus, decreasing the chance that you will be ending up with a scam site.

You also need to understand that it requires some personal details about you, the details will be used for sorting out survey request that fits you and for your compensation, so that they can send it to you without hassles. Another key item that you need to know about paid survey is that not all sites are free; there are some sites that require subscription fees or membership fees. It is up to you now to sort out the best surveys sites that will help you to earn money while waiting for the feed backs from your future companies.

Jumping into the ecommerce websites can be very scary at first. Trying to find a designer that is reliable and most importantly, making sure your website functions properly. I will give you some tips on where to start when searching for an ecommerce developer.

The best place to start is the planning stage. What do you as a client want your website to do? Are you selling products such as shoes or jewelry or are you selling products that require dynamic programming such as shirts with custom graphics or text on them. Before even looking for an ecommerce website designer you need to plan the scope of your site and how you want it to work. This will make it not only easier on you but also the developer.

After you have planned out your ecommerce website you must find a professional designer that can develop the site you want. Some of the ecommerce developers are very expensive and can cost upwards of over $5,000.00. If you are small business, how can you afford this. Keep in mind when searching for a developer that just because the price is expensive does not mean that you are getting a quality website.

Another option is using a developer that can program with open source code such as zen cart, or os commerce. These open source ecommerce sites are excellent for small or even large businesses. One reason is that the code is updated all the time and kept current. Another reason is that an experienced developer can program the site any way you want it! This means if you need special functions that standard ecommerce sites don't offer you can have the developer program modules or code to make it work specifically for you or your business.

It really comes down your budget. Do you want to spend thousands on a custom ecommerce site. Or maybe spend just one thousand on an open source ecommerce site that can get you all the functions of that expensive custom ecommerce site for a fraction of the price. Whatever way you decide on, do your research on all companies selling ecommerce websites and design websites. Make sure the customer service is top notch and if you ever have issues that they will stand by their service.

Since The beginning of eCommerce, Sellers have found it increasingly difficult to sell their products online. What many owners have failed to realize, however, is that this is mainly due to the fact that they have neglected to properly present their product. They failed to realize that the appearance of their product might not draw interest from the viewers. This leads to failed ventures. The only means of knowing what is included in your product and the worth of it is the ecover, which is a graphic presentation of what you have and what it can do. Also, if it is not of a high quality, then the interest would be shifted to another product from the competition that looks more professional.

Ecovers are there in abundance on the net. You just have to use them. Lots of ecover design programs are available to help you design an ecover that will put you in the lead when it comes to viewing products with the most professional appearance. That is if you don't go the convenient route and hire a professional to do it for you. There are the packages from the big name companies and there are the cheap ones. The good news is that the cheap ones can do it just as well as the expensive ones.

They are designed with the novice in mind. That means you don't need training in graphic design to use them. They have the templates and the tools included in these packages. You just have to play around with the templates provided until you have an ecover designed that you know will make your product stand out above the rest

Pay-per-click advertising, or PPC, is an online advertising model whereby advertisers pay the host website a certain amount only when their (the advertisers') ads are clicked. Content sites usually charge a fixed amount per click while search engines like Google and Yahoo will hold bids for keyword phrases that apply to an advertiser's target audience. If you want to use PPC successfully, the following five tips will help you do so in a way that lets you reach the largest segment of your target audience in a fast and cost-effective way.

1. Bid on low-cost, relevant keyword phrases

Do some research into your market and find relevant phrases that you can bid on with search engines. Look for low-cost keywords that define your website, as these will usually have little competition. Build a wide base of these low-cost relevant keywords and phrases. 30 or more are recommended to get the best click rate.

2. Use keywords in your titles and descriptions

Once you have your 30 plus keywords, create 6 to 7 advertisements, each with 3 to 4 keywords in them. Remember to use the keywords in your ad titles and descriptions, as it will increase your click through rate by nearly 40%.

3. Create unique landing pages

Unique landing pages are essential if you're promoting an affiliate product, or any kind of product, really. And make sure to include consumer reviews for the product you are promoting, as these are proven to increase sales by up to 50% or more.

4. Professional URLs

There aren't many things that will turn potential buyers away than seeing a landing page that looks like an affiliate link. Invest in having your own domain name. Make sure it contains keywords and is descriptive in a way that relates to the products your advertising.

5. Adhere to your budget

Whatever you do, stick to the budget. Work out how much you'll be making per sale and what percentage of visitors are likely to buy, and compare it with your cost per click. Set a limit on your cost per click that's between 8 and 10 cents.

Continue tweaking your ads as it becomes necessary to get the bet click through rates, and remember to build your campaigns around one or two products at a time.

If you're not using long-tail keywords in your pay per click campaigns, you could be missing out on huge profits. Following is why.

PPC Marketing and the Way Web Surfers Search
The web is growing by 100,000 new websites per day, according to some internet marketing experts. Why is this important? Quite simply, gone are the days where you can optimize your site or PPC ads using a few strong keywords and show up in results. With an ever-crowded market place, you have to drill down further.
And, this is where the long-tail keyword comes into play. For those who don't know, long-tail keywords are simply multi-phrase search queries web surfers type in to find stuff. Usually, these phrases contain three or four words, but they could be longer.

1. Higher Conversions: The more info a surfer types in when they're searching for things on the web, the more serious they tend to be about buying.
For example, consider the following long-tail keyword phrases: "womens one piece swimsuit" and "womens one piece swimsuit size 10."
Both of these appear to be pretty serious buyers, but the woman who puts in her size is looking for something specific. She's more than likely ready to buy if she can find a one-piece swimsuit in her size.

2. More Visitors: Long tail keywords will bring more traffic to your site. Everybody optimizes their pages and their ads for the most popular keywords in their niche. This is to be expected.
But, when you optimize your web pages and ads using long tail key words, what you wind up with is a lot more pages that are being indexed and ranking for targeted phrases related to your niche. If you use different long tail keywords in various pay per click marketing campaigns, you can really increase your traffic - and your sales.

3. Higher SERP Ranking: Piggybacking on the last point, because much of the competition ignores long tail keywords, it makes it much easier to rank higher in search engines. Of course, this means more visibility, which means more traffic, which leads to more sales.

4. Cheaper: You'll likely spend less on long tail key words because the competition ignores them. This means the cost of your PPC campaigns can be less, while actually bringing in more traffic.
The Bottom Line on Long Tail Keywords and Pay Per Click Marketing

Long tail keywords are hard workers. They bring in more traffic; they bring in targeted traffic; and they increase your site's visibility - everything you want a keyword to do.

You can make money through the YouTube's partner program. Basically they put an ad on the side of your video and every time someone clicks that ad you earn part of the commission. So Five months later I was making $500 a month with YouTube through a couple big hit videos. However I knew that money would drop fast because it's hard to keep having big hit videos. So again I searched around Google and discovered a couple opportunities. I started with the survey sites. Then I found Google AdSense. Right then I hit a Gold Mine. Google AdSense lets you put a ad anywhere on your site and like the YouTube Partner program, every time someone clicks that ad you get part of the money.

The other important thing to keep in mind and the main factor that will make it a lot easier is to pick a topic that you are passionate about.

The work required for you to make an easy internet profit needs a lot of work and iteration sometimes. This serves as a reason why choosing the work you are interested in makes the work less boring and in turn give you outstanding outcome. So even if you are forced to do the same task over and over it will be less prosaic as you are working for something that you love and if you follow these tips, you'll be well on your way to generating an easy internet profit. It's just left to you. Giving a trial will convince you.

There are multiple link popularity tools to help website owners find out who is linking to their site, but also to give a useful benchmarking report to quickly show where you stand in comparison to competitors and other major online players.
Here are some ideas for useful data you can gather using the Link Popularity tool:
1. Total number of pages in each search engines index that contains a link to your site, including your own website.
2. Browse through the sites that are linking to you. This gives you a view of the volume and quality of pages linking to you. It's another way to view the sites that may be referring traffic to you. Once you find out who is linking to you and where they are linking to, you can understand the areas of your site that are performing well. You'll also be able to strategize ways to improve your reach and performance by knowing your audience.
3. How are your competitors performing in search engines? If they are performing well, you can look at the sites that are linking to them to understand the places you need to improve your visibility.
This tool SHOULD NOT be used to:
1. Determine the dollar ($$) value of a website domain name. This tool is simply provided as a convenience and the user should take note that not all Links are equal in the eyes of the search engines. Just because one site has more links than another does not mean that it is a better site or necessarily more popular.
2. Excessively track link popularity values. Measuring your link popularity values once per month is more than enough. Checking daily or weekly is not a good use of your time. Instead, go create some new content that your visitors would benefit from. Suspicious activity will result in limited access.

There are many types and kinds of directories to submit websites and blogs to.  These are for getting backlinks to your site, and they are free, reciprocal, or for a fee.

It can take one hour to months to get listed after submitting to a link directory. And, even after waiting for months your site may still be denied. It is normally reviewed by a person and not a software program.
Submitting to directories can take a lot of time, and many advise that it does not do very much good. I beg to differ. It is a long process and there is software available that helps to cut down on the time involved, both free and for a price.

Most like the word FREE, more than FEE. I have used both, and I have had as much success with free submissions as I have had with software that I purchased. A good directory submitter can be a worthwhile investment.

Just because you are submitting with a paid software program does not guarantee that your site will be accepted within the given directory, and submitting without software does not gain any advantage either. So, I use both tactics.

One free online service that is worth checking into is listed in my resource box. It has many, many, sites listed that accept free links, without cost or exchange. It does take some effort, but if you just spend twenty minutes a day you can submit quite a few over a two week period.

I also use a paid submitter. It has many excellent features and Brad has a good forum, along with very in-depth video instructions. It has been beneficial for me and I recommend it highly. The instruction videos and eBook are worth the cost. Brad definitely over delivers.

Some directory submitters have free and paid versions. The free versions usually submit up to 350 directories, and the paid can submit to 2,000 and more depending on the submitter in question. I have also used this in addition to my other efforts.

There are other methods that I use and I will cover them more later. Some of these other practices that I employ can also help in getting listed in directories. For now, these will get you started and take little effort and learning.

As a business owner, the goal is to have your business generate as much money as it can. For traditional businesses and online businesses, you will find the methods that you can use to reach this goal are many. However, for an online business, the options are much more. One such method that is being used as an avenue in which to ear more income is seo or search engine optimization.

Unfortunately, many online business owners have never heard the term "seo". A very simple explanation of this technique is that is a method in which specific keywords are used in websites, text, and articles to help your website rank higher with all of the major search engines. As the largest amount of the traffic to your website is generated by these search engines, it is important to understand that you need to do everything you can to get a high search engine ranking.

To decide upon the keywords you are going to use in your website and online marketing strategy, you must first consider how your target market will conduct a search for what they are looking for. For example, if you are in the pet products business, what is the customer going to put in the search field to find your products? It may be "cheap pet products", "low-cost pet products", or even "healthy pet products". You must determine the best keywords to help bring those customers to your website.

If your goal is to earn more income, you must take the opportunity to educate yourself in search engine optimization. Without using this technique as part of your online marketing strategy, you definitely are losing a large amount of potential traffic and sales. If you do a quick search online by putting in a few choice keywords that are relevant to your business, see how long it takes to find your business. If you rank in the first twenty-five results, you've done great. Did you rank in the top fifty? One-hundred? Gave up trying to find your site in the results? You need to get educated on seo to help your business become a top competitor in your industry.

So the difference between organic search rankings and the other type is that organic search results happen when you just type in the keyword. The other type, the one that I'll be writing about are the kind where you add a city name to the search to find the top ranking results for the keywords you type, for that city.
In order to get a spot on the list, you have to have a city address, from here on in we'll be using Winnipeg as an example. Usually, if you're making a website for a business, they will already have a listing, a business listing.

adding a webpage to it and this is for google by the way, means that you have to find the listing in google/maps and edit it. This requires a phone verification, either by land line or text (sms) to your cell phone, or by post card to your address.

The one often used is postcard, because both the phone verifications have given me trouble before. As in the code they provided did not work when used to verify the listing. So i'd try to verifry by phone a couple times and after a 3 or so, the phone number is not allowed to verify anymore.
After you are registered, there are a few ways to push your way to the top of Winnipeg's list for business type.

One way is to go log in to those business directory pages, and enter in all the information for that business, and also add a webpage url.
type in "winnipeg chinese restaurants" to google What do you see "the top spots? do you see

• Good Earth Restaurant
• Golden Terrace

I know the webmaster and he told me that's how he got the high ranking, but when I asked why he didn't get a high ranking for the 2nd page he was unsure if it was because it had a lot of javascript that uses the tag display:none; and display:block to hide and to show text, which is supposed to be bad for google rankings. It's well known, but he was confused because the site
type in "winnipeg tailor" to google What do you see "the top spots? do you see

• Wing Or's tailors

is top with the same type of javascript layout, it even beats the nicer looking sites, because the nicer ones are made from pictures, so the search engine spiders can't see any text.
So, the other key point to work on is if you have a keyword in your site, make sure you have content to support it, like an argument in philosophy class, you need to back that up.

• Octopus Inkjet

some new business are in the city, but they are not ranked at all. you don't see this because thier keywords are not backed up or they never registered, even though it's location is in winnipeg. Also this process can take 30 to ninety days, after you register with google.  Search engine optimization if you do your work, is a pleasant surprize after a long wait, but be warned you may get the top spot at first, but that's just complimentary, real results will kick in at the next round of ranking.

Website owners create websites when they want to promote their products or services. In order to ensure that this venture is a success, it is necessary for people to visit the website and go through the content. When people visit the website, it is called website traffic. Naturally, it becomes important to increase this traffic so that it is ensured that your message is being viewed by readers across the globe.

The best way to ensure guaranteed website traffic is to make the website interesting and interactive enough to tempt users to log on every day. However, if you are unable to do so, the good news is that there are ways and means to increase website traffic. This includes paid and free of cost techniques.

Methods that are free of cost include writing articles and submitting them to online magazines. It goes without saying that these articles should be well-written and attention grabbing. However, it is recommended that website owners include a URL to their websites in the beginning and end of the body of the article. This way, if the reader is impressed by the article, he will definitely click on the link and be directed to your website. Apart from that, website owners can also take part in interesting discussions on message boards and leave their links after every post or comment. This will definitely ensure guaranteed website traffic if you are prudent enough to follow the rules of the message board.

Paid methods include Pay Per Click and "Buying Ad Space".
One can also include a list of keywords and phrases into the website in such a way that the search engine is obliged to give your website a higher ranking. 1% of the entire content should consist of the keyword. For example- if the article consists of 500 words, the keyword should be featured 5 times. Guaranteed website traffic will be directed towards your website if you stick to this limit and do not go overboard. Some website owners tend to overuse the keyword and include it in each sentence. This is called keyword stuffing and is featured under Black Hat Search Engine Optimization Techniques. It is illegal and one must always refrain from taking part in such practices.

If you are able to analyze the website traffic, it will be easier for you to understand the popularity of certain pages on your website. This way, you can enhance certain features which will then result in guaranteed website traffic.

In terms of keywords, if you include it into your URL or domain, chances are that search engines will pick up your website and give it higher preference over others.
Website traffic is guaranteed if you know which methods to follow and which techniques to stay away from. While Black Hat SEO may seem tempting, legal action will be taken against you and your website will be shut down. Therefore, it is always advisable to rely on tried and tested methods. This will ensure guaranteed website traffic in the short and the long run.

Creating a website has many benefits for the business owner, but perhaps none more important than its potential to grow your existing business. In recent years, the Internet has been flooded with small business websites - some more successful than others. Those that have flourished amongst the competition have done so by using online solutions to their advantage.
Online solutions make your website a stronger, more efficient sales vehicle that drives the growth of your business. Some effective solutions to consider include:

Adding Domains
If you've registered a .COM domain alone for your business website, you may be missing out on the opportunities that multiple domains can provide. By registering alternate extensions for your domain, such as .NET and .ORG, you can capture traffic that you might otherwise have lost. You can also prevent your competitor from registering these alternate extensions in an effort to steal some of your traffic. Adding domains may also involve using sub-domains. Sub-domains allow you to organize your site's content more efficiently. It can also boost your search engine visibility, as search engines will view each sub-domain as a unique entity. Be sure to ask your registrar if they offer free sub-domains with your domain registration.

Expanding Your Hosting Package

When your web hosting package leaves your website with insufficient space or bandwidth, its performance will suffer. Keep in mind that your website should logically grow along with your business. The more content that you add to your site, the more storage space you will need on the server. Similarly, the more traffic you expect on your website, the more bandwidth you need. If space or bandwidth - or both - are lacking, your website's performance and reliability will suffer. Choose a web hosting provider that allows you the flexibility to expand your plan as necessary.

Upgrading Your Email Account
Your online image is everything - but are you doing enough to enhance it? Not if you're using a free email account for business communication. A personalized email address matched to your domain name paints a legitimate, positive picture of your business itself. By choosing a professional email solution, you may also gain access to convenient webmail, shared document management and plentiful storage.

Securing Your Website
Today's online customers have a variety of concerns about online safety, such as identity theft and spamming. Having adequate website security can ease those fears and grow your customer base. An SSL certificate, which provides data encryption for sensitive information, is widely considered a necessity for online businesses who request sensitive information, such as account or social security numbers. A verified website seal may be adequate for those who don't. Both SSL certificates and verified site seals will appear on your home page, providing visual assurance to potential customers.
By employing these online solutions to strengthen your presence online, you can begin to use your website to grow your business.

PPC Models can be regarded as a short term arrangement and the prices will adhere to the custom reporting abilities. Most models come with a full money back guarantee.

Do not think you will get rich in a few weeks but do believe you can obtain your desired goals if you continue to practice them. By choosing the appropriate model such as the SEM business model you will enhance your search engine marketing business.

Keep in mind the SEO is a new industry that has grown with the internet. Search engines like Google and Yahoo are clear examples of success stories. Many businesses understand that there is lots of potential for online searches. This could lead to tons of online traffic and search rankings.

Businesses are now realizing the potential of online search as a means for effective lead generation, and now have created a huge demand for increased organic search rankings and thus search engine marketing services.

The internet is an extremely powerful medium of communication. It serves as a great educational tool as every topic related to any subject can be easily accessed over the internet. However, many times it is tough for us to navigate through thousands of articles and websites in order to find the required material. Thus, to help us to easily search for information, search engines were developed.

Google, Cuil, Yahoo! Search ,Ask, Bing and AskMeNow, Go Go Duck, Baidu, Sogou, Sohu (Chinese), Yandex(Russian) are a few of the famous search engines. A new entrant to this field is a search engine called Tazoodle. Tazoodle still is in its pre-launch stage and will be launched shortly in the months to come.

Information product creation is normally approached by entrepreneurs by researching the product online, writing the ebook, launching a pay per click campaign, writing articles, SEO and maybe issuing a press release. While these are standard practices and they definitely work, there is a better way. It is using email marketing to create and sell your information product.

Here are 5 steps on information product creation with email marketing.
1. Create a squeeze page offering a short report for subscribers to sign up to your newsletter. Make the report related to the information product you want to sell.

2. Your subscribers on your list are people who have an interest in the market you're selling to. Deliver the report as promised on the squeeze page and follow up by asking them for comments.
The key is to make yourself approachable. Use an email address which they can contact you directly. You may need to ask them several times for feedback because people are busy and they forget about things.

3. During this time, find affiliate products which are related to the market. Email your subscribers recommending them to buy through your affiliate link. Monitor the sales and responses to the different products and make a note of which one sold well and the number of sales.

4. With your subscribers' feedback on your information product, email everyone with the top 5 things that people liked the most. Then follow up with another email, telling them that based on the results, you are thinking of creating an ebook on a particular topic.

Through the sales of the affiliate products which you promoted to your list, you will know what sort of products they are interested to buy and at what price.
Ask them if they would be interested in buying such an ebook and how much you think you should charge for it. Also ask them what additional information they would want to read about. This feedback is critical for information product creation.
To increase the response to your survey, tell them that you will give free review copies to the first 10 people who reply.

5. Follow up again and tell the subscribers, the response has been overwhelming. Then offer another 10 review copies to the next 10 people who reply. Inform your list that it's a way of thanking them for being a loyal subscriber.

Using this email marketing campaign, you now have enough information to decide what type of information product you can create that people are interested in. The ebook that you will write on, is what the market wants.

Next, you need to focus on your email marketing to sell your information product. Here is what you should do.
1. Start to write your ebook based on the information given by your subscribers. At the same time you should be promoting your squeeze page to get more subscribers.

2. About once or twice a fortnight, tell your list about your progress of the ebook. Ask them for comments and for ideas in every email. This will make them feel as though they are actively taking part in the information product creation.

3. Continue to gather feedback from the emails and continue to ask questions until your ebook is finished. Remember with all your emails, you should make a remark of how well the ebook is progressing and how much valuable information you've received from everyone.
This will get your subscribers excited about your project as well.
 
4. Once your information product is complete with the sales letter and website, email your list. Tell them that the ebook is finally complete. Give them a discount because they have helped you with the content.
These steps are a sure way to create an ebook that will sell. As soon as you launch your product, your list will jump on it. It's because you have spoken to them about it for the past several weeks. They are anticipating your ebook. Information product creation is a guaranteed way of making money when you add email marketing to your process.

One of the most rewarding parts of having an online business is the opportunity to communicate with folks around the globe. There are a number of ways this can be done; simple email messages, ezines, teleseminars, blogging, social marketing, and of course various eProducts.

All of these methods should be a part of your overall business model. You will gain greater results by a combined effort. However, one of my favorites is eProduct development with eReports at the top of the list. eProducts serve a number of purposes with some of the greatest benefits being to build credibility, expert status and revenues.

However, it takes more than simply developing a product to make it a valuable asset to your business. You also have to "get the word out" to your market.
If you're one of those who believe "build it and they will come" now is the time to rethink this. Yes, you have to build it, but "they will come" is not necessarily true unless of course, they know about it.
Let's assume you have a stellar report; one that will definitely provide a solution for your customers' problems. Now comes the fun part; getting the word out.
Here are a few ways to let your readers know about the report:

• Your own opt in list. If you are not putting a lot of attention on building your subscriber list I highly recommend you change that immediately. As your readers get to know, like and trust you, they tend to buy from you.
• Affiliate partners - For people new to the world of Internet marketing they may not see the value of having others selling their information. Those of us who have been doing this for any length of time wouldn't dream of doing business without the partnerships we have developed. Affiliate sales create a win/win/win.
• Blogging - Write a blog posting that focuses on one or two aspects of your report. Add the landing page link to the end of the post.
• Social marketing - utilize the power of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other locations your market "hangs out" in. Write a short message with a link back to a blog posting about your report or the actual landing page where readers can access the report.
• Article marketing - write articles addressing a portion of the solution. At the end, put a link back to a landing page where readers can opt in or purchase your report. Submit the article to 5 - 10 main directories. One of my favorites is EzineArticles.com
• Sig files - You can utilize your email sig file and forum sig files to promote your report. This is a very underutilized method. When done right you can realize a great deal of interest from readers.
• Media releases - A very underutilized and yet, extremely effective way to promote your report is with media releases. There is a fine art to writing and distributing media releases.

An incredible benefit of having eProducts is that even when you cannot be fully present in your business, the fact you have your systems in place allow you to continue to generate ongoing revenue.

This article is all about a few of the pitfalls you can encounter when trying to create an information product. There are a few beginner mistakes out there and if you read this article you can avoid them altogether.
There are 5 fundamental mistakes that beginning infopreneurs make. Here they are:

1. They create a product and then look for a market to sell it to. You need to do your homework first. Locate a hungry market and do your homework. Find out what they want and give it to them on a silver platter.

2. They add on so many bonuses that it dilutes the value of the product. It looks like you have to give away a big bag full of junk because your product isn't worth that much all by itself. There is a lot of talk out there about building value, and you have to be very careful with how much you inflate the worth of your product or people won't believe you.

3. They don't spend enough time on their copywriting and they try to use the same site designs as the big gurus. These big guys have rabid lists of customers and it's not always good to copy their ideas, because sometime they are not trying very hard with their copy and it won't work when you're trying hard to convince someone.

4. They try to create a new market instead of trying to improve a current popular product by 10%.

5. They spend too much time working on their product, because they don't have a proven system for creating products quickly and getting them to market fast. Not everything you create will be a winner, so you need to fail fast and the only way to do that is to have a system for creating information products quickly.
