09Should you Bother with Article Writing Software?
Filed in: Article Writing by admin on 09-09-09Is article writing software better than having a professional writer develop an idea? There is some controversy over which is the better avenue to take when leveraging the concept of article marketing. Some of the promises made by software suppliers are that keywords and SEO will be input in the proper density and that all you have to do is type in your keywords and a written article comes to you like magic. But, does it really work? And, does it provide the level of results you are searching for?
While software products offer the promise of either spinning articles or creating more accurate keyword usage, they are not a substitute for creating original work. Not only will original articles flow better, but they will each be 100% unique in nature. As major search engines penalize businesses to leveraging content over and over again which is not unique, this is yet another reason why you shouldn’t turn to article software for your content.
Professional writers bring something to article writing that no spinning software can provide. The software may rearrange the words and give you articles that say the same thing in a different way but only a human writer can add words that bring color and vibrancy to the idea in their own very unique language.
When looking to create articles, first create a list of target topics and target keywords to incorporate into the content. Create strong headlines or titles to grab the reader’s attention. Within the content, be sure to clearly live up to the title’s promise, and to provide true value to the reader. When used correctly, articles not only will drive traffic to your website, but they will build credibility for your business.
If your website did not receive visitors your website would ultimately fail. This is especially true of websites that offer products or services for sale. If traffic is not being drawn to your website, then you will not have the chance to sell your products or services. Therefore, you must focus on traffic building in order to assure the success of your company.
There are many methods that you can use in order to build traffic for your website. The great thing is that the majority of these methods are free and don’t cost the website owner a dime to implement. All they require is a little time and research. You cannot just build a website and expect people to come! You must put some work into advertising and marketing your website!
The Best Free Method Of Obtaining Web-Traffic
Search engine ranking is by and far the easiest and best method of traffic building. This can easily be done by creating SEO friendly written content for your website. The use of written content that contains ‘keywords’ that are focused on your website and its purpose, the higher that it will appear in search engines. Consider what keywords your ideal customer may enter into a major search engine to find your business. Those keywords are what you need to integrate into your site’s content to build traffic. You can create this content on your own and can simply strategically position it throughout your website.
The more keyword friendly that your website is and the more written content that it contains the higher that it will appear in search engines. These search engines will then drive traffic to your website.
Actually no secrets of marketing exist. You can market your business online using many different techniques. Some require more work than others and some provide much higher quality leads than others. You need to select a few methods that you feel comfortable with and focus on these. It is very important to track your adverts and measure the amount of leads and sales that you generate so that you can optimize your marketing campaigns.
Traffic Exchanges require a lot of work initially. You need to spend a few hours a day surfing surfing and you will only generate a few leads maybe 2 to four leads. The secret of marketing with traffic exchanges is to use a browser like Firefox where you can use tabbed browsing. You can open up 10 traffic exchanges and surf them simultaneously. Consequently you will get credits from 10 traffic exchanges at the same time. If you recruit a lot of people to use the traffic exchanges you use then you earn credits when they use it.
You can use safelists to market online I don’t recommend it to people new to internet marketing. Basically a safe list is a list that someone joins and in return they volunteer to receive emails from other members which will allow them to send adverts to other members. You need to learn to write your email so that they people actually open it since they receive many messages from the different members of the safelist.
People new to internet marketing usually use Free For All Pages(FFA) where they post their links to Free For All pages. However they usually realize quickly that this method does not really work. The secret with FFA pages is to actually host the FFA pages so that when someone posts their link you collect their email address where you can send them your offer.
You can post your adverts to high traffic free classified sites like Craigslist, USfreeads and Gumtree. Make sure that you post in the correct category and you can target your title and content of your adverts to long tail keywords for search engines. You can use the Overture search suggestion and Wordtracker to do your keyword research.
You use a toolbar like Free Traffic Bar and InstantBuzz. You install a toolbar into your browser which displays adverts every time you browse and you collect credits which display your adverts to other users. If you recruit a lot of people to use the toolbar then you earn credits when they use it.
You can piggyback on high traffic websites like Squidoo and Ecademy to create web pages usually indexed within a few days. Do keyword research and target long tail keywords. If you do this correctly you usually can get a top ten ranking within a few days.
Article marketing produces the highest kind of lead where your lead will be ten times more willing to buy from you than other types of marketing. With article marketing your leads already know you from your articles and this establishes trust and credibility. You can submit your articles to popular Ezine article directories like EzineArticles.
If you would like to use paid methods of marketing you can also use ezine advertising, pay per click advertising and banner advertising.
In this eye opening article I would like to go over some important copywriting tips that you need to master to increase your internet business. When I first started online I basically sucked at this skill and could not write any copy to sell anything. You are basically only one good sales page away from a million dollar business.
Here are my copywriting secrest that will boost your business
1) Create a killer headline
Your headline is basically responsible for about 60 percent of your sales. I suggest that split and test different headlines until you find one that works for you. Use power words like ‘Discover’ and ‘Secret Revealed’
2) A no questions money back guarantee
This is a very important certificate to have on your website. When I added the guarantee to my sales letters I noticed a significant improvement in conversions.
3) A powerful P.S.
Believe it or not the second most read part of the letter after the headline is a P.S. Make sure that you have a strong close to you your sales letter. Usually if anybody has any doubts of buying your product the P.S. will help to eliminate it.
Finally, I suggest that you make a swipe file. Carefully study good sales letters and create your swipe file.

11How to Make Money With Google AdSense and Flood Your Bank Account With Instant Cash
Filed in: Google Adsense by admin on 08-11-09When I first started out on Google AdSense I could barely make a few dollars a day. My website received a lot of traffic and believed that I needed to build hundreds or thousands of websites to earn a significant income. The following tips are tried and tested. Use these wisely and you will see your AdSense income significantly increase.
I found the layout the most important consideration to make when designing your website. Get this wrong and leave thousands of dollars on the table. The 336X220 unit performed the best for me because it resembles content on a website. I also found the best area to place your adverts below your top menu bar. This blends in with the website and having this near the top of the page increases the click through rate without making the advertising too obtrusive. If you place your advert near the bottom less people will see it and this will reduce your click through rate.
I found the color scheme the second most important aspect of Google AdSense. You need to make your adverts look like content. Use a white background on your website and let your adverts also use a white back ground and blue as the color representing the text link. This works well as it makes the advert look like content and does not look like an advert. Blue works very well to represent a link because internet users are used to seeing blue as the default color of a link in a HTML page. Also remember to make the url at the bottom black as well so as not to detract your user’s attention from clicking the link text.
Google link units can help you to earn extra money for topics related to your theme. Locate these link units in your menu scheme and blend the colors so that they look part of your navigation system. This makes them not look like an advert and improves the click through rate substantially.
I suggest using Wordtracker to do your keyword research. I started optimizing one keyword everyday for the less competitive terms and within a few months doubled the traffic on my website. Basically find keywords with not too much competition and make sure that the content on your page matches. Optimize the Title and Heading and use the keyword 2 to 3 times in your body near the beginning and near the end of your page.
Build fully automated websites that users can upload content. Users’ on my website created hundreds and thousands of pages for me saving me hundreds of hours to create content myself. Search engines spidered and indexed these pages. The more content uploaded by users meant more traffic and this meant more money from Google AdSense.
Capture your visitor’s email address when they visit your website. This will give you the opportunity to send them emails over and over redirecting to specific AdSense pages and increase your income.
A picture directly positioned above your advert draws attention to it. Exercise caution here and not put any misleading pictures up due to this being against Google’s terms of service if your user clicks on an advert because it looks related to your picture.
You can use this AdSense code for more accurate content targeting on pages on your website getting untargeted adverts. You need to ensure at least 20% of your content exists in between the tags for Google to interpret the content correctly and show matching adverts.
Place your most important content between the following tags:
< !- google_ad_section_start ->
< !- google_ad_section_end ->
This will help AdSense to target your adverts to the most important content without getting confused on the unrelated content on your web page. However, make sure you put sufficient important content between the tags otherwise your adverts may not match your content and it can take up to two weeks for this to come into effect.
Build tens or hundreds of websites and apply the Google AdSense advice here and make thousands or tens of thousands of dollars from your Google AdSense income.
