How to Choose a Domain Name

September 9th, 2009

Choosing a domain name for your Internet marketing business is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether you’re creating a flagship blog for your business or registering a domain for your niche site, you need to take some time to find the right domain. Look at these following guidelines to help you find an ideal domain name for your site.

1. Purpose.

First you’ll need to figure out the purpose of your website. Is it to establish yourself in a niche? If so, you’ll need to do some keyword research to figure out which phrases would naturally attract traffic. Are you buying a domain to sell a product? If so, your product name or a variation of the product name should be your domain name. Ideally, your website’s domain should either describe what the website is about (Membernaire.com is about building membership sites) or it should include keywords related to your domain (FatLossHelp.com is about losing weight, and it includes a popular keyword phrase). Determining the purpose of you website will help you decide what phrases to use.

2. Presence.

How important is it to you to have an exact keyword phrase in your domain? For some websites, you may be able to use another similar phrase. But for others you may need that exact phrase. In the second case, you can try adding hyphens, prefixes or suffixes to your domain name if your exact phrase is taken. This way you’ll still be able to use the phrase and establish yourself in the niche. A general rule of thumb is to use no more than two hyphens in a domain name.

3. Potential.

How big is your website going to grow in the coming months and years? Are you buying a domain name to build a niche mini-site that acts as a feeder site to your sales page? Are you looking to build an authority site in your niche? Your domain name choice should be determined by how much growth you are expecting for your website. A niche mini-site domain name can be a lot more specific and long tail than an authority site. For example, beginnersheirloomtomatotips.com is a very niche specific domain whereas heirloomgrowing.com has enough leeway for you to build an authority site.

4. Price.

You can get virtually any domain name you want, if you’re willing to pay for it. In most cases though, you’ll want to register an unused domain name. These domain names cost anywhere between $7 and $12 depending on what company you’re registering them through (I recommend ______). However, if you have a very specific business name and want to lock in a domain that has been registered, but isn’t being used, you can try contacting the domain owner. Look up the domain name owner’s information in the WhoIs directory and try making a deal.

All of these factors will come into play when you are choosing a domain name for your website. Make sure to carefully consider how your domain name will be used before you buy.

How to Choose a Business Model

September 6th, 2009

Internet marketing is full of choices and your first choice is deciding on which business model you are going to follow. If you don’t make this choice carefully, you’ll find yourself hopping from business model to business model, spending money on programs and “secrets,” and not making any profits at all. Trust me when I say that finding a business model that appeals to you and working with that model will go a long way toward helping you succeed online.

There are a few basic business models to choose from. Each of them have their advantages and disadvantages. By looking over this list and considering your strengths, you should know where you want to focus your business.

- Author

When you create your own product, you are in complete control of your stream of income. By writing a product, or hiring a ghostwriter to write one, you can set up a website and sell your product over and over again. You can set up an affiliate program so other people are selling the product for you. The only major downside is that you can spend a lot of time and money working on a niche product that may not pan out.

- Affiliate

Unlike being a product creator, with affiliate marketing you don’t have to spend time and money creating a product. You just need to be good at promoting the product. You’ll earn commissions for sending buyers to the product creator’s website. With the right promotional techniques, you can establish yourself in the niche and make affiliate commissions from several different programs all at once. On the other hand, you are at the whim of the product creator when you use this business model. You never know when a product creator will stop offering the product.

- Administrator

Starting your own membership site is another option. With affiliate programs and information products, you’ll earn money from a one time sale. When you own a membership site, you’ll have an ongoing stream of income coming from one website. You can provide monthly reports on a niche topic, host a forum or offer coaching for a flat fee each month. You can even use an affiliate program with your membership site so that other people will send new members your way. The downside is that you need to keep providing fresh content each month to keep your members sticking around.

- Auctioner

eBay is one of the most frequently visited sites on the entire Internet. When you become an eBay seller, you’ll never have to worry about finding traffic for your offering. You can sell a variety of different things on eBay, including information products. Although there have been some recent changes to the way information products are sold on eBay, the amount of traffic and ease of setting up your offering make eBay a strong business model. The downside is that your business relies on a third party site who’s changing rules may negatively effect your business in the future.

As you can see, there are ups and downs to every business model available online. By looking at your own strengths and what you want to get out of your business, you should be able to find the right model for you.

How to Choose a Membership Site Script

August 15th, 2009

Running a membership site is one of the most profitable ways to make money online. The long term income potential for membership sites far outranks many other business forms. With just 100 people paying $20 per month, you’ve got $2K coming in automatically month after month!

The key to running a successful membership site is in find a good membership site script to work with. A script will make sure that your site is running smoothly. It will protect your membership content from public eyes and it will help you automatically process payments from your members so you can get paid each month.

Understandably, there are a lot of membership site scripts out there that promise to make owning a membership site easy that just don’t work. They are missing key components to successful membership site management. Look for a script with the following components and you’ll be well on your way to having an outstanding profit stream.

1. Automatic Payment.

When payments are automatically processed each month, your members are locked into their membership. If you have to manually send a payment request each month, you are giving them an option each month to leave the site. Even though membership site subscriptions can be canceled at any time, you don’t want to offer the option to leave each month  - people just might take you up on it! Any membership site script worth it’s salt will coordinate with your payment processor so you

2. Automatic Activation.

Your new members should be automatically added to your database files and allowed to access the content in your website. We live in an instant gratification society. How do you think your new members would feel if they had to jump through a bunch of hoops in order to get the content they just paid for? You want to start out your new relationship on the right foot. Make sure your membership site script will automatically forward your new member to the member’s area so they can take advantage of your content.

3. Affiliate programs.

Smart membership site owners know that they can promote an affiliate program for the site to get even more members. Your membership site script should allow you to accept affiliates and handle the distribution of affiliate commissions accurately each month. An affiliate program will multiply the earnings from your membership site, so be sure to check out your membership site script’s affiliate capabilities.

Of course, you’ll also want to look at the ease of use of your membership site script. You shouldn’t have to pay someone else hundreds of dollars in order to have your membership site work properly. The installation should be very easy to handle, or the creator should offer help with installation for free. Getting a membership site up and running is work enough without having to worry about all the technical aspects.

These tips will help you evaluate a membership site script so that you can get the right one for your needs and get your membership site rolling!

How to Choose a List Provider

August 15th, 2009

In the world of Internet marketing, building a list is absolutely essential. Most marketers don’t have the expertise or the time to set up a list management system on their own server. Instead, most use a list provider. A list provider will allow you to collect e-mail addresses from buyers and visitors to your websites.

List management is an essential part of any Internet marketing business. Capturing a person’s name and e-mail address when they visit your site allows you to send them helpful information, build your relationship with them and offer new products. It’s absolutely essential that your list provider be easy to use and have the capabilities to deliver professional messages.

Look for the following features to find the B.E.S.T. L.I.S.T.

BAD address protection.

Your list system should remove bad e-mail addresses automatically so you don’t have to deal with them manually. Clearing out bad addresses from your list can save you a lot of time.

EASY opt in creation.

Your list can’t exist unless you have an opt in form on your website. The opt in forms should be easy to create within the list provider’s system. You should be able to feel secure in putting the opt in form on your website and trusting that it will work.

SUBSCRIBE/unsubscribe system.

Subscriptions and unsubscriptions from your list shouldn’t require any input on your part. Your list members should be added automatically and removed just as easily.

TRACKING capabilities.

E-mail marketing isn’t effective unless you can tell how your messages are being received. A robust list provider program will allow you test and track your messages. You can see how many are being opened by your list members and how many are clicking through on your links. This can be a great way to learn how to market more effectively so you can reach your audience.

LIST management.

Your list provider should give you the ability to manage several different lists at once. You should be able to send a message to a few lists at once, filtering out people who are on a third list. You should also have the ability to send messages to people who subscribed after a certain date. All of these capabilities will help you market to your list more effectively.

INTERNET connection.

You shouldn’t have to wait for your messages to go out due to a server outage on your list provider’s side. Your list provider should be professional enough to keep an active Internet connection to your list management tools at all times. The better the connection, the faster you can work with your list.

SECURITY features.

Your list provider should make it clear in their terms of service that your personal information and the information of your clients will be secure and protected from hackers. Since people are giving you their personal information, you deserve to know that the list provider will keep their information secure.

TECHNICAL support.

If your list provider isn’t there to help you work through the technical issues to use their system, they aren’t worth your time. You’re using a list provider in order to make your life easier. You shouldn’t have to be hassled with technical details. Look for a provider that offers phone and IM support.

By looking for these features in your list provider, you can be sure that you’re finding a true ally in your business and not just creating another hassle.

Link Building - How to Create Mutual Benefit In Popularity

July 21st, 2009

The Link Building is a strategy used to build a popular website, blog, social network, portal, etc.. The technique is to create external links from our sites in other related websites, directories, social bookmarks, forums, etc.. This is accomplished by using different strategies. Whenever you put a link, we must put the keyword you want to position.

One way is the following: [url = http://www.xxxx.blogspot.com] Services SEO [/ url]

In both cases will be as follows: SEO Services One of the most commonly used techniques is to comment on blogs and forums related to the site you want to position. For those that generate outgoing links on our site must populariad them having webs DoFollows link, i.e., the robot once the browser finds the link to follow his destiny, in this case, our Web site.

How Google Will Index My Page

July 19th, 2009

I have recommended this article that I liked in SeoProfesional and so today I share with you all:

These days I’ve been playing with Google to index and have seen a big difference in the index content vs fresh. static or low update. This is something we always talk but there are still questions. I hope this post help clarifies doubts and provide some useful ideas.

First clarify that with indexing, I mean the ability of a search engine to find new pages, and also to find changes on pages that are already in the index.

Well, for evidence regarding the implementation of the nofollow, I’ve created several pages and have placed a link from a PR3 page and another link from a site in a fairly crowded PR6 page. This happened 4 days ago and to my surprise, I am still hoping that Google - or any other search engine - index my pages.

My expectations were based on which Google usually takes no more than two days to find my updates, and I expect even better performance regarding a PR6 page. However, I must admit that if my intention was to get results fast error has been put links on my pages minor update. The PR3 have not seen an update in months, and although minor changes PR6 receives constant, generally 90% of its content has been full for years perhaps.

Moreover, just last week I was helping launch a site, of course PR0 and now I see that Google indexes new pages a day later.

So, How is indexed first level?
The solution is given in 2 very simple:

Much Content
We are launching the site has generated around one hundred pages of which 87 are in the Google index (Yahoo only recognizes 3 pages, but come on! Yahoo in the first week? Go win!). This volume of content means that the cover always has something new to the Google bot, a robot and intelligent notes and intends to visit more often.

Many Links
No links that feed the search engines can not find new pages, or give authority to what they find. For a blog, the first step is to register in all the blog directory that is at hand. I recommend Blogalaxia and blogs, but this is just the beginning. There are dozens of Hispanic directories, and even more in English that are equal, as Technorati .

However, Technorati, for example, is best known for its directory of tags, and this is the second important aspect to register with directories of blogs. A directory of links means more tags for each tag that you put a post. In a directory of prestige, each of these tags can make a PR3 link if only for a couple of days and then go to a page file less important (perhaps PR2).
So if we are registered in 10 directories of blogs and tags, and make 10 posts a day, each with 5 tags, we are receiving on average 500 inbound links per day, free.

So Google updated my site to the new force, like it or not. No matter who is new or that has PR0 or if the content is of quality or confidence … to the devil TrustRank. The only thing is that Google knows my site receives hundreds of new links every day, and it is not only hitting a visit - or 903 during the week, according to statistics from the server.

Certainly everything about the position applied. It is not enough to appear in the index, need to win a seat with a variety of links, onsite optimization, etc, but on the subject in question, get a constant indexing, blogs have a tremendous advantage if you know to make available.

Indeed, Google has sent us 555 visitors in the first week.

I leave two links of interest to those that do not know and want to earn an immediate boost: Ping-O-Matic Pingoat and two are “pingers” which automatically notify a bunch of directories from a single attack. (In many of these directories need to be registered for the ping is worth, but others like Technorati ping is enough to earn a post).

Get Links With Google Alerts

July 17th, 2009

Any good SEO expert estime that knows how important it is to get links, a lot has been said about this, and much has been written. But the strategy is to link a field in which white and black come together to turn gray, and often be tempted to fall into strategies that can be effective in the short term but can bring a lot at stake in the medium to long term .

The other side of the coin is to get inbound links by hand is a far less tedious and boring and not always as effective as we would like. But as we choose which pages can benefit? tools that can be used to detect any incoming links or pages you want to link with ours?

Google Alerts: most of what the eye

More than any we have ever worried, that Google makes available tools with which they might make a lot of money, where’s the catch? what is the fine print? the answer is simple, the main business of Google is its search engine, or better said, the ads provided through its Adwords network, as more and more pages indexed in its search engine with better quality, and in the end This has been the law that has governed from the start because it sounds quite logical to help webmasters to achieve good positions according to their content pages.

The tool that I will speak today at the beginning may seem alien to our strategy of finding links to our pages. Google Alerts is a tool that Google has made available to us to let us know when Google indexes the text content that we operate. It is a great tool to keep us informed of what is said in our pages.

For example, suppose you have a page that goes on red cars, Google Alerts will allow us to keep us informed of what is said online about red cars, so we can keep track of our pages updated.

But another of its benefits are that will allows us to get links to our pages in a relatively easy. Many of the alerts they receive from Google on the “red car” will be blogs and forums that discuss the topic and many of these blogs allow us to leave comments by linking to our sites.

Forget making Spam

We must not forget that our aim is to attract quality traffic to our sites, and if at the time included a link in our post comment or opinion can makes a valuable topic which is talking about this, we generate interest in the reader and it capture your attention to visit our sites.

The practice of spam is not only unprofessional but unintelligent. Most of the comments on the blogs and forums are moderated by someone who is used to receive spam every day and do not hesitate to delete any comment that is spam, that we lose not only their time but what we lose .

Create links wisely

Your link has must have a policy of “nofollow.” Look for this code page, look for external links in the comments or post to see if they have the attribute “no follow”. This attribute serves Google for disregarding a certain link, so many blogs and web pages to control spam and have your PR in check.

But not all search engines are where the attribute “no follow” also keep in mind that if we have reached a certain page through Google Alerts to say that Google is indexing this page, and therefore receive some of the views which will visit our pages to find the link.

Competing As Keywords

July 15th, 2009

I mean the longer phrases with which people are looking for things. These are easier to place in search engines because the majority is seeking to keep the words that give you more traffic. Still, there is a way to achieve both goals with these phrases.

For example, “download games” is a phrase to search millions of times. Obviously, competition is so high. Direct input is difficult, at best. So you can enter a phrase such as “download PC games.” Although this sentence is less competitive, it also has the one feature: it is a fairly unique phrase that only a few people will use.

If you are looking for other “down RPGs” is a phrase you just competed in the rapid rise of search engines. Like the above, there are many search engines, but it includes the word more, which is “download games”. This does not mean that you can compete directly, but you’re going up your site with another sentence whiles pointing to the higher end.

The vast majority of search phrases that will give you money can be handled this way. No I mean you forget the other, all relevant sentences are important, but unless you have a lot of time, it will be difficult to generate content for each one of them. A list of keywords may include words such as several hundred to several thousand pages, and although most do not, the costs time and money.

Not afraid of competition, you can quietly in an indirect way and still get the traffic you need to earn money.

15 Tips For Attracting Traffic To Your Blog

July 13th, 2009

There are many factors that make blogs much better than the common web pages such as the speed with which they are indexed in search engines, and the ease with which it can discharge into the directories, plus they are easy followed through RSS feeds. All these little things can help drive more traffic to blogs. Here are 15 popular techniques you can use:

1.) Create at least one article with the keywords of our site each day. Most blogs of blogspot  (with literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an average of 1 or 2 small articles of 100-150 words per day.

2.) Send to My Yahoo! When you submit your own RSS to My Yahoo it is indexed by Yahoo.

3.) Submit to Google Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS to Google Reader would be indexed on the network from Google blog search.

4.) Obtaining quality links from other sites in our niche, this step may take much longer to link the search engine, but is one of the most effective tactics to attract qualified visitors to our blog.

5.) Use sites like ping-o-matic. This service notifies the various directories of blogs where you added a new entry.

6.) Submit your blog to traditional search engines such as AltaVista, and MSN.

7.) Submit your blog to directories as BoosterBlog. Increase the incidence of these directories in Google.

8.) Submit to as many RSS feeds, search engines and directories as possible. This is a simple but repetitive and time effective.

9.) Comment on other blogs. We must not leave short comments like “I agree.” We need to leave comments that are relevant to the topic for people to say “Who wrote this?”

10.) Use track backs. If a blog you referred to and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. Increase your link popularity and may even be some readers of the site linked.
