Building Links A Roundabout Search Leads To Interesting and Profitable Ideas

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Sometimes I wonder about myself. I start at Point A only to arrive many clicks later at Point Z - which ultimately ends up providing me with the inspiration for my next post (even when I don’t find what I was really looking for!). Today is no exception.

I’m a regular subscriber to WebProNews and have been for years. Strangely enough I’ve seen “authority figures” poo-poo WPN in their forums, but I can tell you that the insights I get far outweigh the times where the information is intriguing albeit short of the mark. Doesn’t happen often, but some writers just don’t give you the full scoop. Whether their plan is to write more, or just provide surface-level research, I do not know. I have also read article bits and posts where I downright disagreed with the writer.

But that’s what makes WPN so interesting, and, more often than not, I get great input and ideas.

That said (that’s not an intentional plug, but will explain the convolution of the rest of this post nicely) that’s how today started out. (more…)

New, Easy to Use Search Engine - Find.com

Monday, October 27th, 2008

This morning cruising through Social Spark, I happened to come across a new search engine that is so simple to use, yet highly effective.

Find.com Search Engine

Find.com - how easy is that to remember! - has no intentions of being the next Google. However, what they pride themselves on is enabling you to take the shortest route between two points. (more…)

Twitter Finally Useful With New Twellow Tool

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Just a bit ago, I received Websitepro’s newsletter and they have “exciting” news! They have developed their own “search Twitter” website, which hopefully, will allow like-minded people to make contact (and make it a whole lot easier to do).

If you use Twitter this should (more…)

Solid Marketing Advice In An Uncertain Internet Marketing World

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Today was one of those days where I found myself on the phone quite a few times talking with advertisers using our My Wizard Ads service.

Besides form submission issues, there was a striking thing each phone caller had in common.

Each person:

o Was new to the world of internet marketing
o Had yet to spend tons of money marketing
o Is in a prime position to take the bull by the horns and do something for themselves.

The chance I speak of is that of (more…)

Giving Keywords and Keyword Research Their Due

Friday, February 29th, 2008

In the last post, we explored the argument of the chicken and the egg with a discussion about which comes first - keywords or market research. As pointed out, the two do go hand in hand. Miss out on either at your peril.

While yesterday’s post (below) talks about finding what people buy first, let’s also give credit to the fact that more often than not, people come to the net to search for information (yes I’ll add it…) first. And, where do they head? Most likely a major search engine if they don’t have a favorite store in mind.

Keyword research is a must - that should go without saying. Obviously with well-researched keywords your website exponentially increases its chances of being ranked higher in the search engines. However, more often than not, we find that many people do not know where to start or even how to start.

The key is to find the right keywords. Our good friend, Vrecc, over at our most favorite Hubpages, has written his unique perspective on keyword research and given you a great tool (free!) to do it right.

Vrecc’s informational article, SEO Optimization and Keyword Research, implements SEOQuake (don’t worry he’s got the download link marked for you). But he doesn’t just leave it at that… you’ll also learn how to use it properly before the end of his article.

Here’s a quick exerpt to wet your appetite though we encourage you to read the entire article (never put the cart before the horse because this is not the “final” part of his article):

“The final step is to actually make a decision on whether or not a keyword or phrase is worth deliberately targeting. The answer depends on your ability to build incoming links into that page. The main way I build links is to write articles and post them to directories. The articles contain a link back to the page I’m targeting. I can get as many links as I can write articles. If I’m willing to write 20 articles then I can get 20 links. It doesn’t really count if someone syndicates my article and puts it on their website with my link in it. Google is likely only to count the link from the article directory. Another great way to get backlinks is social bookmarking. I’ve seen several hubs on this topic. You will find them with a quick search.”

Enjoy!
