Some things that could mess you up -

• You don’t have a product you can give away.  I have about 1000 products I could give you resell rights to, so you could get this covered.  Go to http://www.seo-review-4-u.com/support and let me know what kind of product interests you.
• You don’t have a squeeze page set up. If you already have a product to give away, or you are going to ask me for a product, go to http://www.seo-review-4-u.com/support and request it.  Then go to HostGator I have to charge a small amount to host your squeeze pages because I have hard costs involved.
• You do not have an auto-responder – Click here AWeber.com and sign up for an account. Watch the videos, read the how-to pages. You really want to set up at least 3 responses so the people who opt in to you list can get to know you.
  You won’t be ready for this JV – Go to http://www.seo-review-4-u.com/support and request to be added to my special JV-notifications list. When I hear of the next one, I will let you know.

Wolf Halton here. It has been a while since I entered an article but I felt like you needed to know. Now you have your new website and you are ready to start making some sales! But, how can you make sales if you do not have high volumes of traffic to your website?

One of the challenges which people starting a new online business face is that of getting traffic to their website. This article outlines four important steps you must follow to start generating some traffic to your website.

1. Have unique content on your website. Search engine robots look at all websites on a regular basis looking for sites with fresh and new content. It is therefore important for you to have fresh and high quality content which will get your website quickly indexed by search engines.
2. Have all your keywords on your website. It is important that you have all the relevant keywords and phrases that relate to your topic on your web pages and any articles you post on your website. This will increase your website ranking on search engines which means that your website will rank high when people type keywords relating to your topic on search engines. You will therefore get many visitors coming to your site via the search engines. When people visit your website, the high quality content you have will make people spend more time on your site and ultimately buy some of the products or services you offer on your site.
3. Because your website is new, you must submit it to search engines. Submitting your URL to the search engines is an important step towards getting more visitors because it means your website will be visible from search engines. Having your website URL on search engines means that when people look for information relating to your topic on these search engines, they will find your website.
4. Exchange some website links with websites that have a high popularity rank (PR). Exchanging links with popular and related websites is an effective way to drive traffic to your website, and improve the raking of your site. You will get some traffic coming to your website through other websites that you have linked to.

By following the tips outlined in this article, you will realize that increasing your website traffic and getting more people to visit your new website is very easy to do. All you need to do is to follow these steps and you will soon see an increase in traffic to your website which will mean a lot of sales and online profits for your internet business!

Autoresponders can vary from messages that go through email to scripts that are programed to run on servers. All types of autoresponders work the same, as they will automatically send a message out when a message is received. Depending on the message they receive, they will send out the correct return message. This can be determined by the script or the email address.

Although they are great for promotional reasons, they are also widely abused all across the Internet. Autoresponders are great to use for your daily tasks, as they will basically do all of the work for you. On the other hand, they can also be quite disastrous on those who happen to come in contact with them.

When you submit your website to search engines, directories, or classifieds, you should never attempt to use an autoresponder address. Most of these website types use autoresponders themselves, when they send out their messages. If their autoresponder happens to send a message out to your autoresponder, they will continue responding – which can be very annoying.

When you decide to subscribe to an email or ezine you should always use your valid email address and never use the address for your autoresponder. If you use your autoresponder to subscribe, chances are you’ll have your subscription revoked. It can be very annoying if a group sends out emails, only to find that your autoresponder keeps sending return messages. For that very reason, you should never use your autoresponder address to subscribe to anything.

Autoresponders can be great to use, although they can also be a hazard as well. Often times, with subscriptions groups or ezines, it can be very hard to locate someone who is using an autoresponder. In most cases, those who use an autoresponder don’t have the same reply or from address as they did when they signed up. In cases such as this it can take quite a lot of time and effort to locate the address.

If you take care of your autoresponder and don’t use it to annoy others or sing up for email subscriptions, it should treat you well. An autoresponder can do a world of good for your business, saving you a lot of time and effort. Autoresponders are easy to set up and easy to use, which is great news for anyone who isn’t technical with the Internet. For the price they cost and how easy they are to operate – autoresponders can make your Internet business easier than ever before.

1. Choose a key-word phrase that people are searching.
2. Use the keyword-phrase in the title of the article.  “Monetize Your Blog” is a keyword phrase that people are interested in, so that is why I chose it for this blog.
3. Make sure you use your key-word phrase in sub-headers if the article is long enough to have them.
4. When you get to the last paragraph of the article, tell the reader where they can get more information.

In the case of this topic, monetizing your blog, I would put in a link to a book or product that would be useful to the reader.  “To find out more about monetizing your blog, read, How to Make Money on the Internet (Make Money Online).  Even if you are using an Amazon widget, people are more likely to act on an inline recommendation than a sidebar ad. – Tell them to do exactly what you want them to do – make it easy.

They also have a paid ad service where your ad goes out including bonuses to the people who sign up.  Those ads say [bonus] in the subject line, and if you wanted to sign up for that ad, you as a buyer would get 2000 extra leads per day for 30 days.  This does NOT fill your inbox with ads.  You have to go to the site to read ads and send out your offer.

Their affiliate center has only 2 tools visible.

1.) The following text ad with your affiliate id already in place:

Tight on Budget ? Not enough leads for your busines? Here’s your chance to get 1 Million Double-Opted In, Daily Verified Leads For F*R*E*E !!Come get it before they close this free offer !  http://www.MillionLeadsForFree.com/go.php?r=wolf

2.) A banner graphic that says

The banner code below is <a href=”http://www.MillionLeadsForFree.com/go.php?r=wolf”> This banner code is incomplete and you will need a little bit more code to get the graphic to work right.  Keep in mind that the “r” value on your code will be your own member ID.  My r=wolf.

When you download the banner graphic by right-clicking and “save image as…”  it appears as filename million468x60.gif.  I changed the name so I could ever find it again in my file system.  To put this into a static html page you would want code more like

<a href=”http://www.MillionLeadsForFree.com/go.php?r=your-member-name”><img src=”http://yourdomain.com/images/banners/million468x60.gif”></a>

Marketing to salespeople is simple if you understand that most salespeople want a happy ending.  We all want to be able to find a way to help other people see how our product will be useful to them.  Salespeople are susceptible to marketing or they could never get up and market stuff.  We are very good at scenting when the person pitching us is playing us.  We read all the same marketing books, and we know how the nuts and bolts of the “sales process” work.  Just like with any other niche, your message has to be personal, desirable and limited somehow.  The limits have to make sense on a level at or below conscious thought.  I know of a couple of marketers who have had successful close-out sales on digital products “Only 234 copies left!!!” of a product that is strictly digital delivery.  It is a cute hook and mirrors the “real world” where physical products are sometimes in short supply or closed out.

How would SEO be useful in a lead exchange situation like this? (I hear you ask)

On-page SEO best practices, like we teach in the Black Book for SEO, are good practices for email ads as well.  People act in similar ways to the Google algorithm, in that they look for relevance of your headline or subject line, look for sub-headers and bullet-points to make your page easily readable and are very aware of padding in the page-copy.

The affiliate ad copy in exhibit #1 above is good in some ways and bad in others.

Tight on Budget ? Not enough leads for your busines? Here’s your chance to get 1 Million Double-Opted In, Daily Verified Leads For F*R*E*E !!Come get it before they close this free offer !  http://www.MillionLeadsForFree.com/go.php?r=wolf

What’s Good About It?

1) It comes to the “pain point” quickly.  “Tight on Budget ? Not enough leads for your busines?”
This is the exact pain point of all businespeople.

2) It provides the solution to the problem. “Here’s your chance to get 1 Million Double-Opted In, Daily Verified Leads For F*R*E*E !!”

3) It provides a call to action. “Come get it before they close this free offer !  http://www.MillionLeadsForFree.com/go.php?r=wolf “ Ads with no call to action are just short stories without a plot.

This would work great as a featured ad in your e-newsletter, or as a classified ad on or off-line, with a few tweaks.

What is Wrong With It?

As a classified ad, the only issue I see is that it has a misspelling. In “Not enough leads for your busines?” business is misspelled.  This tends to be treated by your readers as a sort of disrespect.  I know this is a double-standard.  Since we see all sorts of ads and articles with misspellings in them, and are accustomed to just working a little harder to get their meanings, we may feel that a bit of “quid pro quo” is due.  However we cannot “expect” our readers to do anything of the sort.  The better your technical presentation, the less people can use it as a reason to stop reading your stuff.  I am testing out some product ads on this lead-exchange, and as soon as there is something to report on conversion rates, I will let you know.

http://thelistauction.com/content/index.php?aff=1956

Not only does it offer the highest commissions of any of the other sites I use, but it has features that make branding myself and my company almost too easy. I can get traffic to my website through multiple methods, and most importantly (to me at least), is that I don’t even have to “work” to make the system hand over impressive traffic results (and I can actually track those results right on the site).

I love online Auctions anyway, but this feature is a blast!

And the Golden Nugget Email… Well, you’ll have to try to get that one yourself! Fast and Easy are not two words that usually mingle well when it comes to online traffic… but maybe the rules are changing!

Finally… working online is fun again!

If you need more traffic to your site, your sales pages are lonely or you just want to get better results from your affiliate marketing efforts (yes, you can even promote affiliate programs!), then you need to check out this brand new site:

To Your Newfound Success,

Wolf

P.S. – There are a limited number of upgraded memberships available, but if they’re gone by the time you sign up… Just check out the Support Tab inside the Member’s area and let Mike know you want to be put on the wait list when a new spot opens up… talk about increasing your website traffic… this is your Golden Ticket!

P.P.S. – The best way to keep traffic-auction to the zero-investment level is to click on links of other marketers that you get through the system.  Use this to develop your swap-file of subject-lines that work and site info.  Try not to directly copy site material, as there may be a search-engine penalty for duplicated content.

Number 1 After Less Than 3 Months in Existence

I am happy to announce that http://lsc.hsi-us.com The Linux-Solaris Comparitor site has reached #1 on Google.com.  The phrase was “bash scripting comparators.”

How did I do it?

• I put the link into my work email signature line
• I put the link into 2 forum user signature lines
• I put up a post about the site on the http://UbuntuForums.com site
• I put a post up at the http://opensolaris.org site
