The Adwords Code

Have you seen all the buzz and craziness in the IM forums about this Adwords Code thing? It seems that a lot of people are so stuck in their old ways that they don't want to admit things are changing. It's not about having bunches of keywords anymore and longtail this and longtail that. If you're still operating like that, your business is going under (whether you believe it or not) and Michael's going to show you why. If you're happy using 4 or 5 year old techniques to make your bread and butter with, carry on. But if you value your future and want to move forward with a business that's more profitable than ever, watching this video is the first piece of the puzzle to your success. This video by Michael Jones is causing an amazing amount of controversy. Click the link below if you haven't seen it yet:

Download The eToro Platform For FREE

The financial world is now going through some turbulent times. The global economic crisis has affected markets and economies worldwide and has rendered the financial markets unstable. The crisis has deepened recently due to negative investor sentiment. In these critical conditions most investors are pulling their money out of the falling stock markets and looking for available alternatives for investment.

Many investors have found this alternative in the forex market. Unlike other financial markets the forex market literally cannot crash. This is due to the fact that in the forex market one invests in a currency's value relatively to another currency. One is always buying and selling at the same time. Therefore one can profit when one currency weakens against another just as much as if it were strengthening against the same currency. In fact, the instability that the global crisis has introduced into the market is considered by many to be a positive thing. Volatility in the forex market, despite perhaps making it more risky, also provides greater opportunities for profit. The sharper the swings the currencies go through against each other, the more forex traders stand to profit.

And because this volatility makes the trades riskier, forex dealers also provide traders with tools to reduce their risk. Stop Loss orders are a very commonly used tool in forex traders, because they allow traders to limit the amount they are risking while their profits remain potentially limitless. One does not even have to risk the entire amount of their investment. For example, if one invests $100 on a trade they can place a stop loss order that will close the trade in case the rate of the currency pair reaches a level that leaves only $50 to take back. This allows traders to protect themselves from unpredictable market movements while simultaneously allowing them to take advantage of this same market volatility.

Despite these obvious advantages, some people still hesitate to start trading forex since they've never tried it before. This is where the eToro platform comes in. The eToro forex trading platform is a perfect place to get started in the forex market because eToro provides you with all the advantages of forex trading incorporated into a simple and visual interface. eToro's revolutionary trade visualization make it easy for forex novices to acquire trading skills in no time.

eToro's educational guides, tutorials and forums also give you access to all the forex information you can possibly require. You can then discuss this information in eToro's chats, take part in free to enter trading challenges, and take a tip from the pros using eToro's Top Traders' Insight tool. You can also practice forex trading using virtual money with real live market prices.

Now, more than ever, it's time to give forex trading a shot. Download the eToro platform for FREE today to get started!

Pay Per Click Advertising

by : Alan Smith

Pay per click advertising is one of the types of internet marketing being used in order to lure the visitor traffic to your website and snatch the profit from the competitor. It is popularly known as PPC advertising also. This form of marketing is based on the fact that users generally tend to view the first few pages or results of their search, leaving other thousands of search returns. When a website registers for pay per click advertising the chances of it showing in top search results are more and hence it increases the site visibility. Potential customers would surely look at your ad and click to see your website and the offering, thus mounting the chances of sales and revenue.

This technique is extremely useful for getting ahead of the market competition. If you want a top position amongst other ads, money has to be shelled out. But it can be recovered back when your website gets visited by customers. This internet marketing tool also saves on time for web development.

Web exposure of the website increases with PPC advertising, your website’s ad appears on the right side of Google’s search page making it more visible. As there are very few websites in this section, the visitor is more likely to click on your ad.

When you have target markets then there is no better option than pay per click advertising. As the advertising campaign is personalized in nature the impact of target keywords is much more. It is the fastest means of finding the potential buyers and it attracts them to your website.

Try to hire internet marketing company that can design your PPC advertising budget in a scientific manner. These companies would also view whether the advertising campaign is on the right track or not. So that if any changes are required, they are made on time. The web professionals would choose the most suitable keywords/phrases related to your website and business. The keywords should be specific in nature and exclusive. Further the bidding position of keywords is also observed so that complications don’t develop at later stage.

If we see the other side, if the programmers do not monitor keywords time to time it may lead to more expenditure in comparison to income generated through advertising. The cost of per click is same whether the web traffic is less or more. So many minute details should be taken care of in order of make pay per click advertising work for you.

Top 3 SEO Tips

by : Scott Jason

Since 1998 I've spent the first several months of each year looking for the very best search engine optimization (SEO) tips of the previous year's end. This year I've come across the best SEO tips yet.

SEO Tip #1: Make Google Alerts Your Personal Online Spy

Google Alerts is a great way to let the world's biggest search engine be your personal online spy. This takes search engine optimization insider info to whole new level. Here's an excerpt straight from Google....

"Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:

* monitoring a developing news story
* keeping current on a competitor or industry
* getting the latest on a celebrity or event
* keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams"

As you probably guessed, it's the second one we care about most, "keeping current on a competitor or industry."

Here's how it works... Each time Google finds a reference to the query or topic you request you will be sent an email with the details. This is like having an online spy to make sure competitors are not using your protected keywords (trademarked names, company names, etc.) It's also an instant identifier to know when your site or product is mentioned in a news story or even when a topic is hot so you can take advantage of the situation. It's the easiest way in the world to stop competitors' dirty tricks and identify trends that you can take instant advantage of.

It's fast, free and works every minute of every day. Let Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) do your most time consuming legwork while you reap the rewards!

SEO Tip #2: Optimize Your 404 Page and Always Be Found

"Error 404: Page Not Found" is a blessing that most Webmasters curse. Why? Getting a visitor on any page of your site is fantastic! Don't blow the opportunity. Not only can you make your "404" page a valuable sales tool, you can use the following search engine optimization techniques to attract customers in droves.

A.) Use your main keyword in your title, add a "pipe" (usually above the Enter key) and then use your secondary keyword. Here's as example for an SEO site "SEO - Search Engine Optimization Tips"

B.) Add some keyword rich content using one to two keywords for the page. If you have less than 250 words on the page, just use one keyword and use it no more than three times total. Bold the first use and italicize the second or third use. Keep in mind this is an "inactive" page so simply tell the visitor what your site is about and whet their appetite with a good description. Something like this works well... "Thank you for visiting SEO (bold) Group, Inc. We are sorry you landed on a missing page but don't worry, if you're looking for the very best search engine optimizations tips (bold), you're at the right place..." This will go on for a couple paragraphs or as long as you'd like then end it with something to the effect of "Please Click Here (link) to visit our site map or click any link to the left."

C.) Add your site's standard navigation system (bar, column, etc.) as mentioned above.

D.) Make the look and feel of the customized 404 page match your main site as closely as possible with a template, matched palette, cascading style sheets, etc.

E.) Create a link to the site map page if available, and make the link easy to find. You want your visitor off the 404 page and into your main content as quickly as possible.

Setting up a custom 404 page link usually takes less than five minutes on most major Web hosting companies like Godaddy.com. But whatever it takes, it's worth the effort.

SEO Tip #3: Get (Even More) Serious About Linking

I saved the most important for last. If you want to do well on any search engine, especially Google, linking is THE single MOST important thing you can do. It's that simple.

Here are the five things you MUST do to make your site #1 on Google:

A.) Find the highest page rank sites linking to your site AND your competitors' sites.

B.) Run monthly link campaigns and snatch up the best of the above identified Web sites.

C.) Run regular checks on what pages are still linking back to your site. Alsomake sure they did not move you from a high page rank page to a lower one (don't get cheated!)

D.) Eliminate any penalized sites you link to; ASAP!

E.) Check your search engine ranking AND your competitor's for each of your keywords every week. Do this, at the minimum, for Google, Yahoo, MSN and Alta Vista.

Inside Tip: Keeping up can be a lot of work so a lot of SEO Consultants (myself included) use SEO Elite (http://www.SEOeliteWeb.com) to do all the most difficult and time consuming work.

One last thing to know is that Google was originally a college student's project created for the sole purpose of defining a Web site's value by the sites that link to it. Twelve years later this is still it's main job. Linking is EVERYTHING to Google.

These few SEO tips are the very best of the best so use them wisely. Best of luck!

The Natural, Relevant Contextual Links That LinkXL Offers Are What The Search Engines Want

Recently I signed up for the LinkXL.com services and I think it's good. LinkXL is one of the newest solutions for webmasters and bloggers to monetize the content on their blog or website by selling automatically placed inline text links. You choose what content they can use by adding tokens to the content on your sites. If you have a Wordpress Blog, it becomes even easier because you can just upload their Wordpress Plugin to your blog and away you go. If you choose, you can just pick specific pages on your site or you can have the LinkXL spider crawl your entire site and use all of your content for Keyword monetization. This enables you to maximize your earnings by charging higher prices for popular keywords such as make money online and lower prices to more attractive rates for less popular keywords. The default minimum rate is set at US$5 per link but you can adjust this to whatever you feel your links are worth. You can also choose which advertisers or ads to allow or block from buying your links.



So don't take my word for it though, check it out for yourself by visiting LinkXL and taking a test drive of the system.

Getting Your First Home Insurance Policy

For the first time homeowner one of the most important things they need is that first home insurance policy. This is without a doubt the most expensive purchase for most people and protecting that asset from natural disasters and other unforeseen hazards is an important piece of mind.

For those who think that homeowners insurance is not needed the coverage you get can be had at a very reasonable rate. In fact if you are obtaining a mortgage you will be required to have some form of home insurance if you wish to close as it is a requirement of all lenders.

Most home insurance policies are the same and offer standard coverage for the following things.

1- Covers losses caused by damage to the structure of your home – Any damage to the structure of your home caused by lightning, fire, hailstorm, snow storm, break ins, vandalism, as well as plumbing leaks or faulty electrical problems is covered. One thing new homeowners need to know is that flood, earthquake, and in some cases wind damage are not covered by standard homeowners insurance. This type of coverage has to be purchased separately.

2- Covers the loss or damage to the contents of the home – Home insurance will help cover the cost of paying for any items within the home that are damaged. Furniture, appliances, electronics, clothes, and the like are normally covered up to 50% to 75% of the homes structural coverage.

3- Covers temporary living expenses – If your home is ever damaged or destroyed homeowners insurance would cover the cost of your temporary housing.

4- Covers personal liability – If anyone has an accident or gets hurt on your property you insurance will pay for their medical bills. If they decide to sue you for damages your legal and any judgment/settlement will be covered.

Throughout the insurance industry there are eight home insurance policy types. These include HO-1, HO-2, HO-3, HO-4, HO-5, HO-6, and HO-8. HO-3 is the one most opted for. It offer comprehensive coverage and is closely followed by HO-4. HO-5, HO-6, are for condominium owners and HO-8 is for older homes. HO-1, HO-2 offers limited coverage.

Getting quotes and purchasing your first home insurance policy is not difficult if you understand how homeowners insurance works. For the first time home buyer doing a little research beforehand can help streamline the whole process.

Advertising On Blogs Is A Wonderful Internet Marketing Tool

Blog advertising is simply the advertising connected with a blog. These include banner ads, text ads, text links, and sponsored posts.If you are wondering why an internet marketer would advertise on blogs there are several good reasons.

The first important reason why Blog advertising is a good choice is that blogs are usually updated frequently and so visited by the search engines more often than static web pages. This means your advertisement and link will get noticed sooner.

Another big reason is that many blogs are highly read which means that your advertisement will be placed in front of a large audience. Even better, if you select the blog you advertise on with care then you will match your ad with the target readership of the blog so the resulted traffic will be very targeted. Best of all, you could start getting that targeted traffic within minutes of your advertising hitting the web.

A third reason blog advertising is attractive to many internet marketers is that it is inexpensive and sometimes downright cheap. Of course, purchasing ad space on the high traffic and high ranked blogs will not be cheap -- but it is often much cheaper than any alternative form of advertising.

Blog advertising can also provide tremendous search engine optimization benefits by supplying quality back links as well as a quick way to get your site noticed by the search engines. Blog advertising can also be a great way to provide the deep links so important to increase web site rankings.

Finally, blog advertising can provide all these benefits in the long term. Many blogs have been around for years and will continue to publish long after your initial advertising or marketing campaign has ended. Unlike television or radio ads, and even many internet advertising ads, some forms of blog advertising, especially blog post sponsorship, will stay on the blog permanently for the life of the blog. That longevity makes the cost of blog advertising even more cost effective.

Using Expired Domains For Pulling In Traffic To Your Site?

by: Richard Legg

If you have a website, you want traffic; lots and lots of traffic, as a matter of fact. You are well aware of the fact that there are now millions of Internet users out there, and among those millions, there may be at least one or two thousand web surfers every day looking for the exact services or products that you’re selling. But there’s a problem. How do you reach out to those potential customers and make them come to your site?

You probably have been very busy already with your Internet marketing. I would assume that you have submitted your site to the search engines, bought a few ads in a variety of e-zines, and perhaps even put up a couple of banners. So are you satisfied with the results you are getting from your efforts? You may have tried all that you know about promoting your site and your products, but are you getting the traffic that you wanted? If not, then maybe you need to look in other directions.

But don’t worry; you won’t have to resort to illegitimate methods just to get the traffic you need. There is a perfectly ethical and legitimate way to get traffic to your site, and it’s very effective, too. But what makes this method even better is that over 95% of the people on the World Wide Web have absolutely no clue about it at all. So, have I got your attention? Let me explain it to you a bit more in detail.

Have you ever considered using expired domains for pulling in traffic to your site? Probably not yet, but let me tell you, this is a great (but oftentimes overlooked) opportunity for you. Expired domains have a lot of wasted traffic coming to their site, and this traffic could be put to better use for you instead. If you’re lucky, you may even find a domain name that’s related to your business in Yahoo. This could save you an instant $200 off the Yahoo listing charge.

Think of the possibilities here. For the cost of a single domain name, there could be loads of traffic just waiting for you! It costs less than $10 to register a domain name nowadays, and coupled with the potential immediate traffic, you cannot find a better deal than this. It’s estimated that over 3 million visitors are hitting an expired domain every day. That is mostly targeted traffic, and I’m willing to bet that you’d like to get a piece of that action. If so, then it’s time to start working and get those wasted traffic to your site.

But why did these domains expire in the first place? There could be several reasons. Sometimes webmasters just get weary of all the work involved in developing and maintaining the site. Perhaps they become too busy with work or with their personal lives. Others may have carelessly let their domains expire without knowing it, and several may have met with financial problems, so they just stopped maintaining the site.

One good thing about this whole situation, though, is that the traffic that these expired domains have generated since the time they were active just keeps on coming. If you’re a virtual realtor in cyberspace, this could make for some very attractive real estate indeed. Registering expired domains need some careful research on your part, though. Most important of all, you have to be certain that the domain’s traffic isn’t coming from websites that you’d want to avoid at all costs, like porn sites or such.

Now, if you have done your job and made sure that the traffic is satisfactory, you have two options for taking advantage of your new domain. First option is to redirect the traffic from the previously expired domain to your own site. Second option is to sell off the domain, which could be very profitable for you, depending on how heavy the traffic is.

Hijack Google or Get Hijacked?

It's not enough to use Google anymore. You have to control it, make the Google guys do your bidding. That means you have to know how to get your PPC ads in the right spots, grab the high-converting clicks and invade markets like a juggernaut. Can you?

I don't know if you can on your own, but with Google Hijack you most certainly can be the 800 pound gorilla in days, maybe a few weeks at the outside. So I want you get one number in your head. No, it's not some income figure, although the results they show on that page are insane. Instead, it's a work figure...400 HOURS!

That's a long time. It’s also the typical length of time it takes people to create PPC campaigns as complete, as optimized and as profitable as what Andrew and Steven's software can pump out in literally minutes. Imagine slaving away for 10 full-time weeks to get the job done.

Most people never do that. They dive in with enthusiasm, but after a couple weeks they take one of two paths. Some just drop it. It's a TON of work, and it’s easy to get frustrated and bag the whole thing.

Most people, though, fire up the campaign while it's still held together with loose screws and duct tape. Then they hope for the best. The result? Almost always extreme disappointment, high cost and broken dreams. Then they quit in frustration just like the early quitters, but these folks are a lot poorer. It's a shame, really, because lots of these people quit right before they start seeing some decent results.

That's why Google Hijack is quite possibly the "killer app" for PPC. It takes all of the frustration away, and cuts the time required to the bone. First, the software digs into the hottest niches on the planet by looking at what's actually selling like crazy. That research along could take you weeks.

Then the software spies on the competition in that niche and (I swear this is perfectly legit) figures out which keywords you can hit like a ton of bricks and beat all comers. Seems like cheating, but it's really just being smart. And the software does it automatically.

Then this almost magic tool virtually locks in your profits by finding the ads in your niche that are ALREADY profitable so you can copy them. That's the key, finding what's already making money and doing the same thing. Why waste time figuring out what works when your competition will tell you without even knowing they're doing it?

And finally, Google Hijack will translate all of that work into a separate, beautiful, high converting landing page for each keyword. Have 250 of them? No sweat. You'll get 250 pages at the press of a button. Have 5,000? Just as easy. Imagine spending a few minutes with Google Hijack and raking in over $20,000 in 24 hours. There’s no guarantee you'll do that every time, but since it takes nearly no time at all to get up and running in a niche, you can try a few before you strike gold. It's painless!

Can you see the possibilities? I know you can, and it's why people were chomping at the bit to get their hands on this. Don't wait, though. The introductory price IS going up soon, if they even keep the doors open at all. Why keep sweating for your profits when they can be as close to push-button easy as you'll ever get? The whole story's right here, including the incredible saga of how Andrew and Steven came up with Hijack in the first place. So jump on it now before you have to pay double (or more) for it.

Traffic to Your Blog

Everybody has a blog. No matter the topic or conversation someone has got it covered. From online diaries in the mid nineties to becoming one of the foundations of the internet, blogging along with video and social bookmarking is changing not only how we get our information but also the manner in which online business is conducted.

Blogs are free and easy to run. Just go to Blogger or Wordpress.com, signup and start posting. Try to start out posting on a daily basis or at least a three to four times a week then use these tips to get traffic to your blog.

Free RSS Feed

Rich Site Summary also known as Really Simple Syndication is the process of delivering constantly updated content to your blog by pacing a block of code (known as a feed) on your webpages. In our fast paced information age, RSS fits absolutely. It allows your visitors to stay up to date on any new information you've added to your blog without necessarily having to visit every page on your blog. Instead they view a window that list the headlines followed by a quick summary of what each article is about.

Having a free RSS feed accomplishes two things besides getting more site traffic. First since the content is updated frequently it keeps the search engines coming back to your site and crawling for the new information. Second it can increase your visibility among your blog visitors. This is important because while they may not visit your blog everyday, providing a feed to your subscribers is a good way to for them to stay in touch.

Network

A blog network is a compilation of blogs under a sole domain or company name. Some web visitors take comfort in clicking a link that takes them to different bloggers who cover the same topic. This is also an excellent way to get free advertisement and free web traffic to your site since people who visit the network will invariably be exposed to your blog.

You can also submit to blog directories or just ask your readers to give you feedback on something you posted (the search engines view comments as updating content on your blog). No matter which technique you choose, blogging offers a new way to connect with your readers. Simple, unfiltered and a perfect fit for today's internet blogging is a smart resource to have in your internet marketing online tool kit.
