Internet Marketing

Is it too good to be true?

Hi Friend,

For most people, getting high-quality targeted visitors
to their site is probably one of the "hardest" things to
do ... unfortunately it's also the most important.

The reason it's difficult for most small businesses and
online marketers is that the majority of popular site
promotion strategies either take up A LOT of time, cost
a lot of money, or are too risky. Right?

Well, I'm writing you today because I want to let you
know about a new, fully-automated traffic-generation
system that can send 1000s of targeted prospects to
your site, every single day, absolutely FREE!

http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?595265

Would you believe that this new system is:

-> 100% Free! - Always has been, and always will be
-> Automated - 5 minutes to set it up, then forget it
-> Targeted - you'll get only real, targeted traffic
-> "Viral" - your traffic will increase exponentially

I thought it was too good to be true at first ... but
after testing it out, the results have been extremely
profitable. And the feedback so far has been great:

"Holy *#@% ... this is really amazing! I never thought
something free could bring so much traffic. Truthfully,
it seems to be working better than most of my paid ads."

Anyway, do us both a favor and check it out ASAP. It's
still pretty new and you will benefit even more if you
create your FREE account now before most people join.

What is Internet Marketing and How It Can Bring You Money!

by dan borlan

Ever since the development of the internet, the internet marketing has continuously grown and it is today one of the most profitable businesses. It has many shapes and sizes, from people who make a small revenue to real giants who make millions and billions of dollars. If you want to get your hands on a piece of the big pie, you have to know that competition is fierce, but with a little bit of luck and a lot of commitment, it can be done.

First of all, what is internet marketing? Moreover, what is marketing itself? Many people when they hear the term “marketing” they think of MLM, and many companies think that marketing means training a few persons and throwing them into the street to sell their products. These are common mistakes, and marketing is much more than that.

In the decades before the internet, there was a product-oriented marketing strategy. Nowadays, the smart business persons have realized that an effective marketing strategy is a client-oriented one. Managing to satisfy your customers, that’s the key to success. If you do that, the word about your products’ high quality will spread around an entire network of potential customers, because of people’s talkative nature.

Virtually anything and everything is being marketed nowadays on the internet, and will be to an ever more extent in the future. If you hear people who say that making money online is not possible, ignore them, because the internet is the way of the future. Millions of people go shopping on the internet, and this market is continuously growing.

I believe that the key of successful online money making is specialization. Given the great number of marketers available out there, the way to go is originality. I mean, let’s say you want to open a bookstore. Now, if done in an offline conventional way, unless you have a very fat budget, you’re lucky if you manage to penetrate your city’s market.

Now, if you were to make an online bookstore, the possibilities are infinite. You have every internet surfer as a potential buyer and it’s your choice how you attract them. Still, if you are from England and the books are delivered from there, maybe a person from Japan feels more comfortable to go a few streets away than to buy from you. That’s where specialization comes in.

Let’s say you like playing the guitar. If you open a bookstore with guitar books, a Japanese person would really consider buying from you and going through all the payment and delivery procedures. Sure, your targeted market narrows a lot, because not every person wants to learn how to play guitar, but it’s still a very, very large one. Moreover, the guitar playing internet surfers will be delighted about having a site with guitar books.

In your internet marketing strategies, you can also sell other merchants’ products. If we were to go back to that guitar example, you could make a very cool website about guitars. Then, after you manage to get a big number of visitors to your website, you can make affiliate associations with partners who sell guitar-related products. In other words, if your visitors click on your website’s links to your partners and buy something from them, you get a commission.

There are actually countless internet marketing strategies and you can design some yourself. The truth is that making money online is possible. However, the most important aspect that I’d like to underline is what I told you earlier: THE CUSTOMER.

The customer is the one that is going to bring you money and he’s the one that’s going to recommend you to others. You should always communicate with your clients and try to look at them as different individuals. If you manage to do that, your success is guaranteed.

How can you make them happy? It’s not easy, and it really puts your marketing abilities to the test. Try to answer each and every e-mail, try to identify with everyone’s needs. If you can’t do that on your own, hire someone to do it. I mean, if you have that many customers, you can afford hiring another person, right? And although this is a quite difficult task, it will bring you the desired results. With a client-oriented approach, your internet marketing will be a success!

Rule of Thumb to Internet Marketing

by Vlad Ehrsam

Internet marketing is not exactly simple. People that are Internet savvy tend to believe that websites need to have a lot of keyword rich content but this is not necessarily the case. Copy needs to have a flow, provide useful information, and be readable. It should not have a bunch of keywords slapped in all over the place. Content is KING!

Most of us have a limited amount of time to dedicate to creating web content and articles that SELL our product or service. Unfortunately, some of us just lack specific skills.

There is no need to go reinventing the wheel, so here are four simple tips to help you with your web content.

One: Humorous Quotes are Always a Good Idea

Try crafting a web page geared towards famous and amusing quotes. This is an often missed method for attracting visitors to websites. You can use books already out there to help you such as: "Great Quotes from Great Leaders" by Peggy Anderson. Or, try typing some popular quotes into search engines and this will lead you straight to sites filled with great quotes to use.

You have to dedicate some time to research available material so that you can find the perfect quote. Either copy the material and paste it to your web page or have someone else do this for you. Then, add a link to your company website and wait for the traffic to generate.

Two: Existing Internet Articles

Online copyright laws are seldom enforced. You are free to copy text, rewrite, re-print, distribute, and sell the material you find. Investing in a copyright website is too expensive for most small businesses. But in the end, "you" win. It's easier to research a topic, gather the information, and rewrite the material, than shoot straight from your hip.

Never resort to "stealing" material as it is both unethical and illegal but there is nothing wrong with using material as a resource.

3. Use Directory Pages

The directory of information available on the Internet has contributed greatly to its popularity. People are always trying to find information on home improvement, self- improvement, recipes and all kinds of products or services. Every time they click on a link they get that much closer to what they are searching for. You would probably generate more traffic than you could imagine by adding a directory page to your site.

Adding a directory will put your site up next to the search engine directories. Visitors are likely to bookmark your site, which means they will return. Of course, you don't want to lead business away from your company. Instead, add link partners that are not direct competitors. This will add to your exposure.

4. Free Content

You cannot possibly save more time than by using other people's work. Why spend all of your time slaving away writing articles when there are literally thousands of starving writers out there desperate for you to use their articles. Online directories make it easy to locate writers that specialize in web content. These people are there to help and you can find them at www.arciticlecity.com. Sharing links and the addition of a credit link works.

In the end, you will have a fully operational site in far less time and with less hassle. Keywords and content are vital for success but why worry about them yourself when people with far more experience are willing to provide it to you at lightning speed?

New tool ensures online ad campaigns deliver

By Leslie Taylor,

- If your online-marketing campaign is achieving poor results, it's possible that many of your e-mail announcements are being perceived as spam and never make it to the intended recipients. Sender Score, a free new service from New York-based Return Path, provides businesses with information they need to keep their e-mail newsletters or offers from going directly into recipients' junk-mail folder.

Many e-mail delivery failures are the result of the sender's reputation, rather than the missive's content. By aggregating the reputation criteria used by dozens of Internet service providers and e-mail receivers -- including data or spam complaints, e-mail volume tracking, bounce rates, blacklist inclusions, spam trap hits, and authentication status -- Sender Score allows users to determine their e-mail reputation. Users simply enters their domain names, and SenderScore provides a reputation score ranging from 0-100, with 100 being the best score.

For business owners that find their score is much lower than anticipated, Sender Score breaks down the score to indicate which practices they could improve to enhance their domain's reputation and make sure fewer of their opt-in e-mails are deleted by spam filters.

For full article, click title.

Personal note: Great! A great new tool to help prevent opt-in email from getting into spam folders. I think reputable online merchants will greatly benefit from this & also legal senders of mass mail to opt-in subscribers. No more lost email newsletters & more satisfied customers & companies.

Build Profits With Autoresponder's

by James ryan

If you are using your autoresponder to sell a product or service, you must be very careful as to how you approach your potential customer. Few people like a hard sale, and marketers have known for years that in most cases, a prospect must hear your message an average of seven times before they will make a purchase. How do you accomplish this with autoresponders?


It’s really quite simple, and in fact, the autoresponders make getting the message to your potential customers those seven times possible. On the Internet, without the use of autoresponders, you probably could not achieve that. Too often, marketers make the mistake of literally slamming the potential customer with a hard sales pitch with the first autoresponder message – this won’t work.


You build interest slowly. Start with an informative message – a message that educates the reader in some way on the topic that your product or service is related to. At the bottom of the message, include a link to the sales page for your product. Use that first message to focus on the problem that your product or service can solve, with just a hint of the solution.


Build up from there, moving into how your product or service can solve a problem, and then with the next message, ease into the benefits of your product – giving the reader more actual information with each and every message. Your final message should be the sale pitch – not your first one! With each message, make sure that you are giving the customer information pertaining to the topic – free information! This is what will keep them interested in what you have to say.


This type of marketing is an art. It may take time to get it exactly right. Use the examples that other marketers have set for you. Pay attention to the messages that you receive from other marketers. Start a ‘swap’ file, and keep those messages. Use some of the better sales copy for your own autoresponder messages – just make sure that yours doesn’t turn out to be an exact copy of someone else’s sales message! Remember not to start with a hard sale.


Build your potential customers interest. Keep building on what the problem is, and how your product or service can solve that problem or fill that need. If you are doing this right, by the time the potential customer reads the last message in that series, they will be convinced enough to make a purchase.

Google AdWords Strategies

by Diane Hughes

I was driving down the street the other day and saw a billboard. A big billboard. One so big it practically eclipsed the sun! It advertised a sunny vacation destination and as I gazed at that picture I was momentarily whisked away in my mind to a beach with lapping waves.

Then I had to laugh because almost directly after that billboard came a small one. Not just smaller… tiny. I don’t remember what it advertised but the disparity between the two heightened the importance of the vacation and minimized (in my mind, at least) the message of the second.

It made me think of the internet and internet marketing. The Internet is the “great leveler” in that it allows each business – large or small – to potentially reach the purchasing public in the same way. Theoretically the small “mom-and-pop shop” and a giant, multinational corporation has the same amount of real estate, your computer screen, to make their pitch. If you’re closer to the mom-and-pop shop than you are to the multinational corporation, here are some ideas to help you get your name out there. After all, no matter what size of start you have, it’s only one sale after another that will keep you in business!

Google AdWords are a great way to do that, for the same reason: Your one-man-show (or, one-woman-show!) has the same amount of AdWord space as meganational corporations like GE or GM.

These popular ads are 4 lines long. The top line is the title, there are two middle lines, and the fourth line is the URL. Every single add is the same. Unfortunately, too many businesses use the same-old approach when writing AdWords ads.

Here are some great ideas to help you AdWords fly off the screen and shake your prospects by the shoulders and say “hey, go to this site!”

Title Line Ask a question in your Title line and don’t answer it in the middle two lines. Instead, simply entice your prospect to visit your site for more information. (For example, “Do you want to earn more money without working harder?”)

Remember the AIDA principle (Attention, Interest, Decision, Action) and get your prospect’s attention with the title). Be shocking, outrageous, and catchy.

Body text Write down what you want to say, then work on shortening it. Don’t try shortening your ad first. Don’t waste words. Each word is precious. Be sure to use power words and short, readable sentences. Write several ideas down and have a few friends pick their favorite.

Throughout your ad, use powerful, motivating words like “free,” “fast,” and “new.” (For example, “Hurry, for a limited time, you can get this free solution downloaded to your computer instantly!” Tantalize your prospects with the words “learn more.”

This section requires you to use the Interest and Decision portions of the AIDA sales-writing format.

URL Don’t forget about the URL! Harness the power of the fourth AdWords line. If you don’t have a URL that talks about your business, consider buying one. Preferably, buy a URL that shows how you provide a solution… don’t highlight the problem. (For example, “www.DownloadMoneyMakingIdeasNow.com”)

Use a clever URL to help people take action and click to your site.

One great AdWords ad might look like this:

Want to earn huge cash online? Quit your job. Don’t waste time commuting. Live free! www.Work-From-Home-Success.com

Another one might look like this:

Don’t click on this site. We want serious investors. No window-shoppers. www.Double-Your-Money-In-One-Year.com

Enjoy the same sized billboard as the multi-national corporations. Be clever and daring and get customers to your site!

Affiliate Marketing

by alastair harris

What is Affiliate Marketing? Why is the internet a buzz about Affiliate Marketing? And why to dot com millionaires always seemed to be involved in some sort of Affiliate Marketing?

If you plan to build an internet business or internet empire without a doubt affiliate marketing is something you need to become involved with.

So let's answer the first question, What is Affiliate Marketing? Affiliate Marketing is selling on behalf of someone else in return for a percentage of the sale. You stock no product, don't need to package or handle, nor do you have the normal business overheads. What you do need with Affiliate Marketing is web presence. The internet is now so huge - 8 Billion pages and growing - that the chance of someone stumbling on your site is low to nil without doing some tricks of the trade. (see my article or website on generate traffic and create hits) for further on that topic.

The simple fact of the matter is you will not get sales if you don't get traffic. Think of it this way - an affiliate product is sold by advertising, therefore what will generate more sales? One ad or thousands of ads? That's pretty easy, the more ads, the more traffic, the greater the number of sales. Understand that the conversion rate on the internet is low. A conversion rate is the number of views before a potential sale. Normally this hovers around 1%. It tends not to matter what you are selling this rate tends to remain the same, your offer could be the very best on the net but still the conversion rate tends to be 1% - or one in hundred visitors will buy and make you money. Anyone with a conversion rate of 3% would be considered to be doing amazingly well and most people can not achieve this kind of result. Compare this with the conversion rate of people visiting the local shopping center, apart those teenagers who just love to 'hang', most people going to the shops buy at least something.

Obviously the internet is a different kind of market. People are in the comfort of their own homes. The psychology of the sale is very different. Whereas people going to the shops are buying neccessities like the weekly groceries, online people are tending to buy luxuries. The spur of the moment sale is less demanding as well, because people can bookmark and know they can come back later - they can delay the purchase decision with no fear of losing their chance to purchase. Some internet marketers have tried to overcome this by saying only 50 left, only 33 left, etc, having a count down. But as they tend to be selling information packages and not hard products people still to not have the need to impulse buy. Whereas at the shop they are aware the stock is limited and may be sold out next week so the buy now mentality rules, hence why we continue to have increasing credit card debt.

However just because the impulse buy is not the overriding feature on the internet does not mean sales to not occur. They do, and do so on a regular basis. In fact just about anything and everything is sold via the net. Companies already on tight advertising budgets realise you can not dominate the net like you can television or radio advertising. You might have sole sponsership rights to a particular sports team or sports star i.e. Nike with Tiger Woods, but you can't dominate eight billion individual pages. So the smart companies decide that the cheapest way to increase there internet present is to appeal to the millions of internet webmasters, etc. How? By giving them a slice of the action, from about 5-10% for sales of traditonal items e.g. flowers, hotel stays, etc up to 75% for informational products or services. Whilst one affiliate ad on one site may not generate a huge income, 1000 ads on 1000 sites can generate a small fortune. Although this sort of internet presence takes time to set up, once accomplished they keep on selling day after day with no further input from you neccessary.

So if you have no affiliate partnerships get moving and get some now. If you have sites, maximise their income potential by adding affiliate banners and links. The most popular providers of affiliate links are clixGalore, clickbank and Commission Junction.

My favouriteis clixGalore due to their easy to use interface and there provision of traditional product lines and worldwide coverage in most currencies if clixGalore and I strongly suggest you join them.

I also like clickbank and their advantage is that they affiliate programs tend to have a higher payout percentage.

Commission Junction is my least favourite because many of its programs are very selective about who they have as affiliate partners.

Strategies for Success in Internet Marketing

by Dan Tucker

The main focus and goal in internet marketing is to get as many links pointing back your site as you can. The more links to your site the more visitors you will receive, and the more visitors you receive the more people you’ll get signing up to your programs or buying your products. There are many strategies out there, but here are a few of the best to help generate customers and cash.

Firstly you need to have a professional looking website, which is easy to understand and has a catchy sales page to draw people in. There is nothing worse than having a fantastic ad or article pointing back to an unprofessional looking website that turns people away ruining all your hard work.

One of the most highly used advertising strategies in internet marketing is pay-per-click advertising. Google Adwords is just one of many pay-per-click advertising tools on the net, but in my opinion is one of the best. The beauty of this type of advertising is that you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. Whereas if you advertise in your local paper you are paying for the ad space regardless if anyone looks at your ad.

A lot of money can be made from this form of advertising and a lot of money can be lost if you don’t know what you are doing. It’s definitely worth taking the time to learn as it can be a very powerful form of advertising.

Another internet marketing strategy which is actually free is becoming a member of business chat forums. Forums are great places to learn and get support. They have a mixture of successful internet marketers and beginners so there is no reason to feel shy about contributing to a discussion or asking questions.

When you do participate in a discussion and post a response you are also advertising your business and showing a link to your site, as you will have your sig file attached to every post you make. A sig file is an ad placed at the end of your forum posts with a link pointing back to your site. The more posts you make the more links you will have.

It’s important though not to use your posts as advertisements for you business. When you reply to a topic it should be for the purpose of adding value to the discussion. When you do this and post informative answers and ad value to discussions people will appreciate you and there is more chance that they will click on your link.

Article writing is another free advertising strategy that is very effective. One of the great things about articles is that they last forever, and you could have one article that you wrote years ago still generating traffic today.

When you write an article and have it distributed and published on the internet you become and instant authority and are regarded as an expert. When people read it and get some helpful information from it they appreciate you and begin to trust you. Then if they click on your link at the end of your article and visit your site, they are more likely to sign up with one of your programs or buy one of your products.

It’s important to write articles that are related to the content of your website as your website needs to supply additional information to your article.
