Save time and be more efficient with SEO PowerSuite tools
Posted by: | Comments
I have been using the free version of SEO Powersuite tools for almost a year now. I am growing a network of tightly focused nichesites where much traffic is generated through SEO. I am also helping local businesses achieve top rankings (organic) and convert the targeted traffic into clients.
While I have only been using about 10-15% of the tools features (rank tracker, link assistant, seo spyglass), it has saved me tons of time and with the insight I was able to gather into competition and the evolution of my SEO efforts, I was able to take action that has increased my revenue.
Because my business is ramping up, I am now switching to the SEO PowerSuite Professional edition (paid) as I will be able to access even more features that will save me more time and become more efficient… and that means more money in my pocket.
If you would like to find out more about it, check it out right now because the X-Mas special 60% discount is ending at midnight on Dec. 24th.

Online Marketing: Opportunities for Local Businesses?
Posted by: | CommentsWhile there are niches that are overly competitive on the web, online marketing on a local level is a different game.
Trying to build a successful online marketing campaign in a hot niche market requires expert knowledge in implementing an effective targeted traffic generation method, building an appealing offer and writing salescopy that actually converts a good percentage of your visitors. With too many competitive sites, it is hard to get noticed, hard to rank well in the search engines, and always face the comparison to similar offers from competing websites.
Comes in the local “brick and mortar” business with a storefront or an office in your town. With consumers habits evolving and the internet playing an increasing larger role in people’s search for information, 9 out of 10 searches for a local product or service, such as plumbers, landscaping architects, or electrical supplies, starts on the internet. But until now, small businesses have not caught on to position themselves favorably online to funnel these highly targeted and eager consumers into their marketing process.
Internet Marketing in 2009: Hit by Recession?
Posted by: | CommentsWith all the negative financial, economic and social news that are popping up here and there, especially in the United States, since the third quarter of 2008, I must admit that we have been wondering how the Internet Marketing activities would get affected…
Looking around, though, I must admit that I see more opportunities and “low hanging fruits” in this “industry” than in any other more classic sector.
Obviously, not everyone is going to agree on my point of view, but let me start by explaining the foundation of it:
- every savvy investor knows that you “do not put all your eggs in the same basket” as doing so increases your overall risk dramatically (one event affecting the basket affects all of your eggs: negative performance or even a total crash down).
What does that mean for us here? It means that relying on a single income stream, whether from one employer or one online income stream is not only risky, but I would bluntly say foolish.
“So why does that make Internet Marketing” a better industry during this recession?”
Targeted Traffic?
Posted by: | Comments“So what exactly do you mean by targeted traffic?” I hear you say….
Well, first, you probably know that the word traffic is used in internet marketing jargon to designate a visitor to a given web site or web page.
Targeted traffic therefore is a bunch of very specific visitors to your site or page, people who share a common question, interest, demographic, … this common element is what makes it targeted. Of course, it not only has to be targeted, but also relevant to the “offer” you are promoting. I take “offer” in a very large sense, in its basic form representing what it is you are presenting to visitors on your site. And you want them to take action on this offer, either through a lead capture, a sale, or to get a repeat visit as they find relevant information on your site.
By targeting your visitor appropriately, you not only ensure a good user experience, but you increase the chance that the visitor will take the action you want him to do. This is what we call a conversion.
What exactly is Affiliate Marketing?
Posted by: | CommentsIf you are new to internet marketing, or simply haven’t heard about affiliate marketing yet, here is a short intro about what it is…
Simply put, affiliate marketing is marketing others’ products for sale, whether they’re physical products, digital products available for download, or even promoting various offers where the expected result is the capture of a lead.
The affiliate marketer uses various marketing methods to drive traffic to an offer / product with the intention of converting the visitor into a “customer”. That is what we call a conversion.
Before someone can promote an offer, he/she has to apply or sign up with the merchant or through an affiliate network, in order to become an approved affiliate of that merchant or network.
Once approved, the affiliate selects an offer to promote based on his own selection criteria, then sets up one or several campaigns to promote the offer. It could be a Pay Per Click campaign (like Google Adwords), or it could be an email marketing campaign, or both, or any other (online) marketing technique that is allowed for this offer.
This might be a too broad generalization, but having success in affiliate marketing usually involves: Read Full Article →
