Marketing With Web 2.0 Sites

The latest trend in Internet marketing involves utilizing the numerous social media and video sites like YouTube and MySpace. Because the majority of houeholds with Internet access is using high speed connections, video advertising has been increasing by leaps and bounds.

In fact, a number of Internet marketers are using the video sites exclusively for obvious reasons. First, it's free. You can advertise yourself or your products and services world wide for absolutely nothing.

Secondly, people are much more attracted to videos verses text advertising. You can capture people's immagination so much easier with pictures and video.

Thirdly, the aforementioned Web 2.0 sites are the most visited sites in the world with YouTube attracting over a billion views daily.

These sites are a gold mine of opportunity for the Internet marketer who chooses to use them. My latest video if YouTube is a short clip about Search Chameleon; one of the proprietary applications in the PromoBlackBox package.

Videocasting - A New Online Lingo

sem.mosaic-service.com

Video casting has again proved the old adage “seeing is beleiving”to be true. It has revolutionized the marketing concept by bringing the product / service videos right at the door step of the customer and influenced their decision making time.

This has been possible mainly because it communicates effectively the product profile and benefits within the shortest possible time and causes people to take immediate action or to be aware of your service and brand because it’s the closest thing to actually having it as a tangible product, system, software or download.

The Wharton School of Business showed that video boosts comprehension and retention by 50% over a live presentation. Other industry studies have shown that video expedites buying decisions by 72% versus print. And that six times as many people prefer a video to printed information.

Recently it has been seen that even the search engines are not far behind. They have also started giving potential weight age to the video casts by giving them potentially good visibility in SERP.

We have our own success stories SEM involving video casting, if you have then do share with us…..

Link Building That Works

Author:Jack Humphrey

There are several different ways to build links for traffic and for search engine rankings. Matt Cutts describes the best links as links which are given freely by authoritative sources that are trusted by visitors and Google themselves. (to paraphrase)

So the following tactics will get you those kinds of links:

1. Linkbaiting writing controversial, wise, witty, valuable, or otherwise good content that gets other people talking about you on their sites, linking back to your post.

2. Press Releases This may seem counter-intuitive since most people think press release syndication is only about “placing” links where you want them across a large network. But think of it this way: PRWeb.com has a trackback feature where bloggers can do a trackback to your release and get a valuable link back to their site in the process. They talk up your release and your release gets more traffic, link popularity, which sends you more traffic from the release including more link popularity by having a release that actually ranks.

Link Buying

Text Link Brokers and Text Link Ads (both .com) are the best places to buy advertising. I say advertising because you shouldn’t be buying links just for pagerank. I get more traffic than you do and my pagerank sucks. Plus if Google finds out you are buying links solely to manipulate their rankings, they will zap you.

(I know this is stupid. How can Google know the difference between you buying a link on a site for traffic and buying it to manipulate their link popularity algorithm? It’s a ridiculous argument to say they know why I bought a link. Google doesn’t know your reasoning for buying advertising other than you want more exposure. Keep it that way by not talking about “buying links” and instead call it advertising. That’s really what it is.)

Don’t buy links for pagerank. Here’s another reason:

You should be buying ads for traffic directly from the site you are buying from. Search engine rankings are a side effect of good advertising, not the reason for it.

Authoritative Directories

There are directories you must be listed in if you are serious about your online business. And they cost money. Sorry, but you can play the “free” game for years before you see any serious traffic from free link building alone.

You can gain a lot by submitting to Yahoo Directory, Best of the Web, What You Seek and other human edited paid directories. Google trusts the sites they find there and so do the visitors who use these directories to search.

You can circumvent any paid linking and advertising and still succeed. But I’m willing to bet you don’t want to wait as long as it is going to take to get the results you are looking for by going to totally free link building route.

How To Get your website indexed in 24 hours free - Guaranteed

How To Get your website indexed in 24 hours free - Guaranteed

You will need:
1 A website already built and optimized for search engine traffic.
2 A list of your top 5 keywords, key phrases relating to your website content.
3 A clear head.


Step 1 - Content bait
First of all take 5 of your most popular keywords or key phrases and create 5 article titles from them. For example if my keywords are telephone, television, computer, camera and printer, my article titles could be:

How to use a telephone
How to use a television
How to use a computer
How to use a camera
How to use a printer

Of course you should be more original than this using your own keywords but you get the idea. Now that you have your article titles, you now need to write a brief article for each title. It doesn't need to be the best article in the world, just make sure that its original. Around three paragraphs for each article is good. Try to use as many of your keywords or phrases in the article content as possible but don't over do it to the extent that the article doesn't make sense.

Step 2 - Blogs
Now that you have Your five articles ready, Select the one that you think is the best and most relevant to your website and
put it to one side, we will come back to that one later. We now need to create a couple of blog accounts to house our
articles.First of all visit www.blogger.com and create an account using one of your most popular keywords.. for example if
your keyword is hippopotamus, make sure your blog url is hippopotamus.blogspot.com or my-hippopotamus.blogspot.com. Take the
time to modify your new blog a little, create an introduction post, change the template, put a bit information in the
profile, that sort of thing. Once your blog is looking ok, its time to post two of your four articles on your blog. Remember
I told you to use as many keywords as possible in your blog. Before submitting your post, convert a couple of these keywords
to links to your website.Again, don't over do it and try to link to seperate, relevant pages on your website, not just the homepage. Once your done and your blogspot blog is published on the web its time to move on to the next one. Visit www.wordpress.com, get another blog containing your keyword and repeat the steps for your other two articles.

Step 3 - The fifth article
So now you have two blogs all setup and ready to send you traffic but what about that fifth article I told you to put to one side earlier. Lets get that one out there too. We are now going to submit your fifth article to some of the many article directories out there. Now you of course you could do this manually but I've found the best solution is to use one of the many article submitters that are now available. There is a free one available here: http://articlesubmitter.imwishlist.com/. Make sure to fill in all the forms accurately and thoughtfully. The objective is to get your article published so don't scrimp on the description etc.

Step 5 - Nudge the robots
The next step is to tell all the search engine robots about your blog. There are literally hundreds of these so called ping services out there but for this article I'm going to use only four because thats really all you need to begin with. Visit the following four urls and enter the information for both of your blogs.
http://www.daypop.com/info/submit.htm
http://blogsearch.google.com/ping
http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/submit
http://pingomatic.com/
Again remember to enter your information carefully and accurately.

Step 6 - Quit
No I don't mean quit, I mean QU.I.T. Quit is a tool developed by Eli at www.bluehatseo.com. He wont tell anybody exactly what it does but I can assure you it works. The direct link to the tool is http://www.bluehatseo.com/quit-quick-indexing-tool/. Again make sure you fill in all the information about your two blogs correctly before you click submit. Only click submit once, the tool can take about 20 seconds to work so be patient.If you have some spare time read the rest of Elis blog too because I can assure you, you will find lots of useful information on there. Also Donate if you have some spare cash.

Step 7 - Directories, Directories, Directories
If you have completed the first six steps completely and properly it shouldn't be more than 24 hours before your website is indexed by google, Yahoo and some of the other search engines. So what do you do while you are waiting? Directories my friend. Alot of so called seo experts say that submitting your website to directories is no longer worth the hassle but don't listen to them. Any inbound link you can get to your website, no matter what the quality is worth its weight in gold. If you take your time and submit your website to the correct category of directories I can assure you it will increase the amount of bot visits and indeed user visits to your website. You can find a huge list of directories on my website at http://www.ozonew4m.com/Directories/ . Take your time to pick the best ones to suit your website.

Thats it. No more steps. If you followed the above steps accurately your website will appear in search results within 24 hours. Thank you for reading my article on How To Get your website indexed in 24 hours free - Guaranteed.

Free Website Traffic With Blogging

The internet is loaded with ways to generate free website traffic and the best methods are right at your fingertips! Some companies offer you search engine optimization packages or traffic building services, which can be good options for those who don't have time to bother with traffic driving. However, if you're looking to save money — and are willing to put in a little effort — there are plenty of ways to attract free website traffic to your site.

The people who generally opt out of using free website traffic are people who have decided to do pay per click or other third party ads. If that is your situation, and you are making most of your money from those clicks, it is a viable option. You have to weigh what you make with those clicks, versus what you are paying to get them. You also have to ask yourself if this is the kind of traffic promotion you want to do. Paying for traffic doesn't always yield the most loyal visitors. Like I said, it is still an option if it makes sense for you, just don't disregard the free website traffic methods as most require very little time or energy.

One of the biggest trends to attract more free website traffic is to develop a blog (or web log). What began as a personal journal shared with the virtual world has turned into a necessity for successful business websites. Some site owners even hire writers to blog for them to keep content fresh and interesting. Use the blog to offer a small taste of what you have to offer on the rest of your site.

Creating a blog is one of the very first things I recommend to someone getting started on the internet in network marketing. Even if your company or team has its own replicated websites, you could still greatly increase your traffic by creating your own blog separate from that site. Once set-up, you will want to have a link to your mlm site on your blog so that your visitors can find it as long as the link is appropriately placed. For instance, if your blog has nothing to do with working from home or mlm but you want your prospects to visit your prospecting site, then you may want to include the link in your About Me page or else in a sidebar list of Recommended Sites.

If you do not already have a blog and would like to start one, there are many options. The easiest is to just use a FREE blogging service such as Blogger.com which is owned by Google, Wordpress, and Yahoo 360. I personally prefer Wordpress, but use the advanced version that you install on your own hosting account (my host installs it for me with just one push of a button - a breeze). Once you have your blog set-up, start blogging. You can choose what genre or niche your blog will cover. I recommend you start with a blog about a topic you are passionate and knowledgable about. Remember you are going to need to post on it frequently. Later you can create blogs related to other interests if you have the time and interest.

The most important thing to know about getting free website traffic is this: You need to have a good site. It needs to be focused, with easy-to-use, relevant information that will provide something for the reader. All the traffic promotion in the world will be of little use if your site is sub-par. You may see some increased traffic temporarily — but if your site doesn't do what it promises, then your success won't last. There is no substitute for a good product.
