find on the web. It is worth your time:

o Why You Need Professional Graphics On Your Site?

Why You Need Professional Graphics On Your Site?
Copyright © 2008 Titus Hoskins


Coming from an art background I know a few
things about graphics, layout and design.
I can usually manage to produce passable
graphics for my different sites. But they
are just that - barely passable.

Quite frankly, until recently, I didn't have the
money to spend on professional graphics for my
sites. Now, as my sites are generating income
each day, I can afford to re-invest some of my
earnings into professionally produced website
graphics.

That's exactly what I did!

I just wished I had invested funds into these
website graphics when I first started online
because professional graphics will give you a
much better conversion rate. Can't begin to
imagine the revenue I have lost by not having
professionally produced graphics by web design
specialists or experts. A well-done graphic is
worth its weight in gold because you get a much
higher response rate.

I am talking from first-hand experience here...
for my latest site I invested in some professional
graphics and the sign-up rate is much better than
for my other sites. Plus, when I added these graphics
to my other existing sites, my sign-up rates jumped
25% to 50% - just by adding this graphic beside the
sign-up form.

So if you have a product, newsletter, ezine, guide...
make sure you place a good graphic or picture
right beside your sign-up form... this will
increase your conversions and sales. If you're
thinking about creating a new site, consider
investing in professional graphics - header,
footer, logo... you won't regret it.

Mainly because most surfers or visitors to your
site will be a net-savvy crowd, within seconds
they will make the decision if your site is worth
their time or not. Unless you instantly project a
professional image or site, they will have clicked
that back button before they even blink.

Image vs. Trust

In order to have a successful site you must create
trust with your visitors. Having custom graphics done
will give your site that unique professional look that
web-surfers now demand. First impressions are the only
impressions you get on the Internet. You must hook your
visitor at the first click, or it's game over. Sad but
true.

No matter what kind of site you have, using professional
graphics will prove helpful to achieving your goals.
These graphics will give your site a fighting chance
to at least capture your viewer's attention and allow
time for your brilliant content to reel them in!

Here are some other reasons why you need professional
graphics on your site:


- To give and project a professional image
- To give your visitors a tangible image of your product
- To improve the quality of your site for everyone IS a critic
- To help increase your sales or sign-up rates
- To make navigation of your site easier


Always remember, the web has become a very competitive
place, you must do everything you can to give your site
a competitive advantage over your competition. Professional
graphics will make your site stand out; killer graphics
will firmly place your site in your visitor's mind and
help them remember your site and entice them to visit it
again.

Professional website graphics are very useful tools in
creating a consistent overall image of your site. They
will aid in your site's navigation and give your visitor
a good impression of your site. Well-designed graphics
will help your site project a professional image and
keep visitors from instantly clicking that back button.
Professional graphics will give your site a fighting
chance at making that sale or sign-up. In other words,
professional graphics greatly increases your chances
of having a successful site. That's the main reason why
you should use them.

If you're looking good professional website graphics I would
highly recommend Ryan Jackson (aka designgururyan) - he's
good, quick and very professional. Ryan has done some
excellent graphics for some of the top marketers on the web.
His graphics are geared to Internet Marketing and he knows
his stuff.

Plus, he gets my recommendation simply from the graphics he
has done for me!

o Detecting Online Commercial Intention



Now here's one marketing tip and site that will
make your online marketing much, much, much easier.
It comes from Microsoft of all places (and almost
makes up for Vista!) But this is something you really
need if you're into online marketing.

This page or service from Microsoft adCenter gives
you the "Commercial Intention" of a URL or search
query. In other words, you can type in a phrase
or keyword and it will tell if the person making
that search is likely to buy.

It gives you a percentage... how likely that
person will purchase a product or service.

For instance, if you type in "Corporate Business Gifts"
the Probability for Commercial Query is:

0.96604 or around 96 per cent. Which is very
high and it's likely that person has intentions
of buying something.

If you're designing a website or doing PPC advertising
it is vital you pick the keywords where people
have commercial intention - likely to buy something.

This is the key to earning on the web - you
have to target keywords that will convert into
a sale. This handy marketing tool will give a
head-start at finding those keyword phrases that
pay...

As always, I hope this simple marketing newsletter
and tips are of some help to you and your
marketing.

o Joel Comm's Instant Resale Templates


For those online marketers looking for a
product to sell - creating your OWN product
is the BEST way to go. However, the next best
thing is gaining or having resale rights
to a popular product.

Basically you obtain permission to resale this
product on your own site and in your online
marketing. Pick the right product and it may
prove very lucrative if you know what you're
doing and you work really hard at it.

Only downside, you will have some competition
since other marketers will be snapping up
the good quality products and also re-selling
them. But on here, competition is the name of
the game, since even in affiliate marketing
there will be stiff competition for the products
you choose to promote.

Joel Comm is offering "resale rights" to his
popular Adsense Template Series... if you're
looking a product to promote and sale on the
web, you should have a look at this Adsense
Template niche.

Joel is offering this product on a sliding
price scale... first two days May 1st & 2nd
the price is very low. After that it goes
up each few days until it is taken off the
market.

This is a solid product and worth a look
if you're in the market for promoting a
product on your site.

o Marketing Lessons From The Sunshine State



Since marketing is not my original profession,
I take every opportunity to learn as much as
I can about it every chance I get. No matter
where I find these marketing lessons.

Fortunately, marketing is all around us, on TV,
on the web, in the streets... for the average
consumer marketing is constantly amongst us,
slowly working its influence.

Recently, while vacationing in Florida, I was
really made aware how that state is marketed.
And it is an extremely attractive package,
year-round sunshine, excellent services, friendly
people, world-class amusement parks and attractions...
throw in very cheap comfortable accommodations with
a family atmosphere and your have a recipe for a
very lucrative product.

A product that can be easily sold in a worldwide
marketplace. Vacations in the Sunshine State...

No matter what you're marketing, you have to know
your product and you have to know your marketplace
or consumers. Same goes for whether you're marketing
the State of Florida or marketing a $20 product online.

If you have a product everyone wants, your marketing
will be much easier - sometimes it is just a matter
of getting your product in front of consumers. But
first you must know who those consumers will be or
consist of... do some research to find out exactly
who your potential customers will be.

Obviously, the Condo Time-Share Market is very big
in Florida. You have a constant flow of interested
visitors/tourists who have at least considered
this option while on visits to the state. It was
surprising to see how many corner stores, tourist
info spots... were offering discount tickets to
the major attractions if you attend Timeshare
sessions where someone would give you a sales
pitch on buying into the Florida Timeshare Market.

Many visitors don't like this rather hard-sell or
recruitment but for those who are actually interested
in buying a Timeshare... it is a good deal, they
get a discount, plus they get information on buying
into a Timeshare which they want or are willing
to give some serious thought to in the first place.

Operating an online site can work pretty much the
same way... you offer interested visitors/buyers
something free to hear your sales pitch or offer.
The trick is to find only those people who are
actually in the buying frame of mind... finding
a targeted prospect... one perfect way to do this
is thru keyword marketing.

You can use the major search engines (read Google)
to target perspective buyers with the right keywords.
Some searching for "cheap laptops" are obviously looking
for inexpensive laptops.

This will bring in only the people who want to hear
your sales pitch or message. Your conversion rates
will be much higher if you get only those who are
interested in your product from the get-go.

Giving away something of real value - free gift,
great discount or extra bonuses - will bring more
perspective prospects thru the door. I have found
if you have a constant flow of targeted interested
customers you will sell more products.

In my case, it's mostly affiliate products but the
same marketing principle applies... offer a great
freebie, discount or bonus to get targeted potential
customers to buy from your link instead of someone
else's link.

Likewise, give a good deal or bargain and people
will listen to your sales pitch or offer. Especially
if it is something they want or are interested in
buying in the first place... just conect the dots.

Works in the Sunshine State, works online too!





o Professional Graphics - Why You Need Them


Coming from an art education background I know
a few things about graphics, layout and design.
I can usually manage to produce passable
graphics for my different sites. But they
are just that - barely passable.

Quite frankly, until lately, I didn't have the
money to spend 100s of dollars on professional
graphics for my sites. Now, I can afford to
re-invest some of my earnings into professionally
produced web graphics.

That's exactly what I did!

I just wished I had invested funds into these
kinds of graphics when I first started online -
a professional graphic will give you a much better
conversion rate. A well-done graphic is worth its
weight in gold. You get a much better response.

I am talking from first-hand experience here...
for my latest site www.internetfaxguide.org
I invested in some professional graphics and the
sign-up rate is much better than for my other
sites. Plus, when I added this fax graphic to
my other existing sites, my sign-up rates jumped
25 to 50% - just by adding this graphic.

So if you have a newsletter, ezine, guide...
make sure you place a good graphic or picture
right beside your sign-up form... this will
increase your conversions.

Professional Graphics - Why do you need them?

- To give and project a professional image
- To give your visitors a tangible image of your ezine
- To improve the quality of your site - everyone IS a critic
- To help increase your sales or sign-up rate


I was so pleased, that now when ever this particular
graphic designer accepts new projects - I am
first in line. I will gradually get new graphics
done for all my major newsletters and sites.

The graphic designer I am speaking of is
Ryan Jackson and he has done some excellent
graphics for some of the top marketers on the web.
His graphics are geared to Internet Marketing
and he knows his trade.


Plus, he gets my recommendation simply from
the graphics he has done for me!

His site is located here:

Hope this information was of some help to
your online marketing. I am living my
dream of working full-time online, hope
you get to live yours too!

o Get The 4th Edition of Google AdSense Secrets


The definitive guide to AdSense is now available!


Joel Comm is releasing his 4th Edition of Google
AdSense Secrets today at 12 noon EST, April 16.

Joel is recognized as the long standing expert on
Google Adsense. He simply knows his stuff... simply
knows how Adsense works but more importantly he can
show how to put Adsense to work for you and your site
or sites.

Google Adsense Secrets 4

Joel is the author of the New York Times Best Seller,
"The AdSense Code" and he did The Next Internet Millionaire
a while back, WorldVillage Site, Yahoo Games... just
Google his name to find out more about him.

Joel has completely revised and extended AdSense
Secrets 4.0 for 2008 to include all the latest
AdSense strategies and techniques that allow him
to continue earning over $500/day in passive AdSense
income!

Joel's book is an easy and relatively cheap way
of finding out more about Google Adsense. He's
only selling it for $9.95 - worth checking out if
you're thinking about using Adsense on any site
or blog.

If you're a regular reader, you will know I use
and have been using Google Adsense for years.
Getting a monthly check from the top search engine
in the world always puts a smile on my face.

However, as any full-time affiliate marketer can
tell you, while Adsense is a great way to monetize
your pages (simple, easy to use) it is not the best
way. I can make 10 to 100 times what Adsense pays
me for a click.

Why Use Adsense At All?

Mainly because if you have a lot of content, it's
very simple to add the Adsense to earn a few extra
dollars. You might not have the time or desire to
place affiliate links on all your content... I
like concentrating on specific small niches for
my major affiliate programs. The majority of my
online marketing deals with these niches and
not Google Adsense.

But on blogs, articles, reports... I like to
include the Adsense code... it is a way of creating
a sure safe income - easy money. There has not
been a day in the last three or four years that I
have not earned at least a couple of dollars
from Google Adsense. No way near the $500+ aday
some marketing are making, like Joel Comm.

It is still beneficial to have it on your sites...
and I for one, believe it does help out your
readers in that many of the Adsense offers or
deals are very competitive in price to anything
on the web. Everyone loves a bargain, so will your
visitors.

Besides, I am not even concentrating my marketing
efforts on Adsense but it is still one of the
steadiest income streams on my sites. Google Adsense
is worth checking out and Joel's ebook is a
very good starting point:


Google Adsense Secrets 4



o Keywords - Kingmakers of The Web


This is the title of my latest post
in my SiteProNews blog. It tells you
all about keywords and why they are the
real Kingmakers on the web.

In these SPN blog posts I am summing up
all the major elements/reasons why I can
live as a full-time online marketer. Nothing
fancy, just the simple strategies and stuff
I use in my marketing... how I have used
Keywords to create my own little Kingdom
on the web. Small as it is.

If you want to find out more about how to
use Keywords to create your own little online
Kingdom... click here:

SPN - Keywords Kingmakers of the Web




o Off to See the Boss!

Don't want to brag, but one of the real
joys of working online with your own sites -
you can afford to take time off whenever
you want. (Within reason of course!)

Not that my tastes are extravagant by any
means, I lead a very simple life... an artist
training never leaves you. And this is one
of my simple dreams...

I am taking a break to go see the Boss
in concert. Bruce Springstein is one of
the few performers I would like to see...
will be touching base with my sites but
I might be hard to reach in the next little
while...

o Check Your WordPress Blogs For Hidden Links



I was totally blindsided this week by something
that I knew nothing about until I received
an automated email message from Ian Kallen of
Technorati saying that many WordPress blogs had
been compromised (polite word for hacked) because
of a security vulnerability in the blogging
software.

Quote:

"Blogs are being compromised via this vulnerability
on widespread scale. The most common symptom of a
compromised blog is the presence of links to spam
web sites inserted in the blog that are obscured by
style attributes that render the text invisible but
are still seen by crawlers such as Technorati's,
Google's and Yahoo's. You can find these links
by viewing the source of the blog pages or, when
using Firefox, looking under "Tools" -> "Page Info"
-> "Links"...."

When I checked one of my minor blogs I was
horrified to find thousands of spam links hidden
under invisible text. You couldn't see them but
all the major search engines such Google, Yahoo,
MSN... can see and follow them. They couldn't
have been there long because I just did some
recent postings and the file sizes were not out
of the ordinary at that time.

This issue concerns earlier versions of the
WordPress Software - mine was 2.0 - a real
early version. Hopefully I got rid of these
fake links before any harm was done.

Don't let this happen to your blog or site.

I quickly upgraded my WordPress blog to the
latest version 2.5 - and hopefully this security
issue won't happen again. I will now be
keeping a close eye on all my upgraded blogs
to stop this from happening again.

If you are running any earlier versions of
the WordPress blog software - you should check
it to make sure someone is not placing links
on your blog you know nothing about. Then upgrade
your software from your blog dashboard.

If you want WordPress support, try checking the
forums at http://wordpress.org/support/

If you have your blogs listed Technorati (and
you should have) you can check with this topic
in the Technorati Support forum for additional help:

o Video Explaining How Internet Marketing Works


This is a great video by Nancy Andrews on how to
set up a site and earn revenue from it. A lot of
marketers and online Gurus try to mystify online
marketing, especially SEO techniques. But it not
all that difficult or hard to set up a site that
will bring in extra income.

If you know what you're doing!

This video is one of the best yet that explains
in simple detail how it works. Hope you can give
it a view and no this is not an affiliate link and
you only have to give your email address if you want
to see the second video.

The first video will give you all the information
you need. If you're looking for a very inexpensive

8 Simple Strategies For Affiliate Marketing Success
Copyright © 2008 Titus Hoskins

It always surprises me how much money you can make
by selling other people's stuff on the Internet.
The real numbers never truly hit you until you fill
out your taxes. Eight years in and the numbers still
shock me. Always.

More than the numbers, what really amazes me the
most is the lifestyle one can achieve from online
marketing. You can be your own boss, work your
own hours, carry out your business from anywhere
in the world you want to live. You can create
automatic marketing systems that work 24/7/365
days of the year. Earn money even when you're
sleeping, vacationing or out enjoying a gourmet
meal at your favorite restaurant. Total freedom.

So is it any wonder then why I am constantly
analyzing my whole marketing structure to figure
out what is working and what is not working?
Finding out just what strategies are giving me
the best returns on my efforts and time. And I
am constantly trying to discover just what I
can do to increase my affiliate sales and online
traffic.

It basically means breaking down your online
marketing into its core elements and examining
each one with close scrutiny. What can be improved?
What can be eliminated? What needs to be redesigned?
Any serious online marketer must be actively working
on these core elements to stay competitive in the
affiliate game.

With these thoughts in mind, here are some simple
marketing strategies that can affect and contribute
to your success for selling affiliate products on
the web. Marketing factors that should always be
at the back of your mind, influencing your every move.

Quality Content

People use the web to find quality content or
information. Always remember this fact and apply
it to each step of your marketing plan - give your
visitors quality content and you will succeed online.
There are no ironclad guarantees, but get this one
step right and you will probably make money online.

Design your website and your webpages around quality
content. Useful, relevant content will give people
a reason to come to your site and also give them a
reason to return. Provide good information first and
let the sale or selling be secondary. People do not
like a pushy salesperson, not in real life and not on
the web. Develop a friendly, helpful relationship
with your potential customer and you will succeed.

Keyword Driven

The Internet is keyword driven. These are words or
phrases people type into search engines to find what
they're looking for on the web. They are also your
keys to online success if you're going the SEO route,
picking the right keywords will be your main starting
point.

Professional marketers use keyword software like
Brad Callen's Keyword Elite to research and find
their profitable keywords, but there are many free
tools/sites which you can find online to help you
do your keyword research - Seobook.com is a good one.
Daily monitoring of your major keywords is also
important to keeping them in the top positions.
Any movement downwards should spark more link and/or
content building immediately.

Keep in mind, Google, which controls 60 percent of
the web's search traffic, is also a great source
of information on your keywords. Use Google to
search the sites in the top 10 spots for your
keywords; also check Google for the Paid Ads
related to your keywords and monitor these ads
over a period of time to see which ones are
profitable. Do your keyword homework and your
affiliate marketing will be a lot easier.


Niche Focused

If you're into affiliate marketing, you must
concentrate your efforts on small niche markets
where the competition is not too stiff. Choosing
the right niche markets is vital to your affiliate
success. Demand should be high and/or you're selling
a high-ticket custom item.

Once you have chosen your particular niches, concentrate
on dominating these in all the search engines. But don't
forget that the fastest and sometimes the most profitable
way to tackle a niche is through PPC (Pay Per Click)
advertising - especially if there is little or low
bidding on your keywords. Google Adwords, Yahoo
Marketing, MicroSoft AdCenter... should be explored
and tried.

List Building

The power is always in the list. Make sure you collect
the contact information of your site's visitors. Offer
free ebooks, guides, special deals or bonuses... to get
your prospects to opt-in to your AR follow-up systems.
Studies have shown that people usually don't buy until
the six or seventh follow-up.

I like building hundreds of micro-lists for all my
major promoted affiliate products. These follow-ups
with specialized information and special deals, coupons
and bonuses will increase your sales.

Traffic

Obviously, traffic is one of the key elements to
earning money online mainly because without traffic
you're dead in the water. You must explore all avenues
to generate targeted traffic to your affiliate links.
These sources are always changing; blogging and social
bookmark sites are very important now. So too are video
and audio formats so make sure you use them in your
marketing.

Article marketing has worked extremely well for me
and it is, along with search traffic, the main reason
I can earn income online. A simple marketing technique
that still works because articles will bring targeted
traffic to your site or sites.

Conversion Rates Are Crucial


In affiliate marketing or in any kind of marketing,
your conversion rates are crucial to your success.
You can get all the targeted traffic you want but
if you can't turn those visitors into a sale, it's
game over.

Your sales pages or content must convert into a sale
in order for you to succeed. With affiliate marketing
it is a little trickier because not only do your pages
have to "pre-sell" the affiliate product but the landing
page/site where you send that traffic must also convert
into a sale.

However, I have discovered one of the keys to high
conversion rates has nothing to do with landing pages,
sales pitches, etc., but has to do mainly with which
products that you decide to promote. You must thoroughly
research your affiliate products and ONLY promote the
top quality brands in your niche and you will have much
better success. Also choosing products that are only
available online will increase your conversion numbers;
so too will promoting products that offer special discount
coupons and deals.

Multiple Streams & Residual Income

Any serious online marketer will leverage their traffic
and marketing by promoting many different products and
services. They will develop different sources of income
from their sites with affiliate links, Google Adsense,
paid advertising, partnerships... are all used to develop
multiple streams of income. It one should dry up, there
are countless others still producing income.

I have found the major third-party affiliate networks
like Commission Junction, LinkShare, Shareasale, Affiliate
Window, Amazon are really good for finding and promoting
products online. These sites will handle all the record
keeping and sales stats for you. Plus, they send your
monthly checks to you like clockwork. All you have to
worry about is providing quality traffic to your affiliate
links.

However, like any professional marketer, I save my
special promotions and efforts to affiliate products
or services that will give me a high return on my marketing
efforts. Mainly, I only promote high-ticket items or
products that will give me residual income. Make one
sale; get paid time and time again. I also like forming
partnerships with companies so that I get a percentage
of the sales for the life of any client I refer. Those
arrangements have special priority for the obvious reason
they give me long-term residual income.

Testing Will Show You The Money.

Perhaps, like in those multiple-choice exams, there
is one sticking point. You can check-off "None of the
above" if you don't apply one thing for all of the
"success strategies" listed above.

You Must TEST Everything.

You must constantly test and track what is working
and what is not? Which traffic is converting? Which
keywords are converting? Which products are converting?
Which niches are profitable... you simply must TEST and
KNOW which factors are working in your online marketing
structure? Unless you test and track everything you will
be marketing blind, and that's no way to run an online
business.

I have found Google Analytics to be extremely helpful
for testing and improving your conversion rates. I am
also a firm believer in the daily reading of your traffic
logs and stats... these places will show you where the
real money is hiding. Use this information to improve
your traffic and sales.

Like any endeavor, the more knowledge you have, the more
successful you will be in reaching your goals. This is
especially true for affiliate marketing on the web. And
always remember, affiliate marketing does take some
work and time to set-up, but the rewards are extremely
rewarding. I hope you will use some of the marketing tips
I have given you so you can experience these rewards
for yourself.

o Do It For Me Web Marketing


Many people don't have the time or desire to
learn and do all this Internet Marketing stuff.
They are probably the lucky ones!

If you're running a business or service, you
simply don't have the time to learn how to market
on the web. Learning site design, getting all the
SEO tactics and techniques right, finding and
constantly building relevant links so the search
engines will find you, producing valuable unique
content each day...

Business owners simply don't have the expertise
to market their businesses on the web. They can
always learn but there is a long learning curve
and it can take years to get all this right.

Besides, most business owners simply don't have
the time. They have a business to run.

So the solution that many businesses jump at
without missing a beat - outsource it or get someone
to professionally design your site and run it
for you. It is a business expense you can't afford
not to have. You and your company must have
a web presence to be truly competitive in this
day and age.

Even at the local level, having a web presence
can prove profitable. Ordering a pizza, booking
a flight, finding a real estate agent.... all
these things are now done at the local level.
Having a web site where your customers can find
you is becoming just another part of doing business.

Now you can get SBI (SiteBuildIt) to build your
web site and run it for you. Ken Evoy's Site Sell
Services is a newly created division or part of
SBI. These folks have had years of helping people
build successful sites and they have the stats
to prove it.

I have one of my sites with SBI because I wanted
to check them out thoroughly before I recommended
them, even though I have only been hearing good
things about SBI for years. I wasn't disappointed.

What I really like about SBI are all the tools you
get but also the constant marketing innovations
you get as online marketing evolves... Ken Evoy
and SBI keeps you in the picture completely. Plus
they also have a great forums of like-minded marketers
and webmasters who will help you out.

For the business owner or for anyone who wants
a web business but doesn't have the time or desire
to do it all themselves... a simple solution is to
get someone to Do It For You.

Do your keyword research, do your market research,
design and build your professional site, do your
SEO work... run the whole thing for you.

As you can realize, all this custom work and design
does not come cheap and there is a monthly fee but
for many business owners who want an online presence
for their business - Site Sell Services is a very good
option to try.

If this is the kind of online set-up you have been
looking for - click this link to get more information:

o How Graphics Can Increase Sales & Subscribers


Coming from an art background I should have
known how important graphics are in online
marketing but you never know how effective
something truly is - until the stats hits
you in the face.

One marketing experience I had recently involves
graphics. How placing a simple image of your
Newsletter besides your subscribe box can increase
your conversion/subscriber rate by 20 to 30%.

As one of my marketing strategy I always include
a guide or newsletter on most of my affiliate
pages to capture the contact information of
my visitors. They sign up for further information,
coupons, special deals... and so on.

Here's the example I am talking about:


http://www.internetfaxingonline.com



I placed this Fax Guide Graphic and my subscription
rate increased by around 25%. I was so pleased
I am now scrambling to produce images/graphics for
all my subscription boxes or newsletters I have...
something so obvious yet so effective.

So if you have or run a newsletter, opt-in list or
any type of follow-up, try placing a graphic or
image of the newsletter beside your optin box.
People like to see a visual image of the product
they're getting, even if it's free. It somehow makes
it all the more legit in their eyes. Makes it more
tangible. More professional. Something of quality.

So add a graphic or image to increase your
subscriptions.



o Placing Your Ezine or Newsletter in PDF Format


Many professional marketers place most of their
content (newsletters, ezines, articles, ebooks)
in PDF format. Then your users and subscribers
can easily download the content and read it
at their leisure. On their own time.

They can also pass these files to friends and
co-workers with just a click. It makes your
content more viral and makes it more accessible
to anyone who wants it.

Something very simple you can do to improve
your marketing effectiveness. Why not try
it.

Here's a link to make PDF files:

http://docs.google.com/

Great way to turn all your articles, ebooks,
posts... into PDF files. Use them to build
your list, get viral traffic and get your
name out there.

o Google Everflux: Google In Fast Forward?


Here's my recent article on Google Everflux.
This is drawn from my own experiences with my
keywords in Google for my different sites.

Other webmasters may be having different
experiences or seeing nothing at all - but
all this movement of some of my major keywords
in Google has me on eggshells. Something is making
those keywords jump - I am looking at Google
Everflux as the cause.

However, it might have to do with new filtering
Google has in place or new changes in how they
rate pages. Seems like some links/descriptions
where the keyword is repeated 4 or 5 times are
getting higher rankings... which goes against
SEO wisdom. We have always been told not spam
in the meta descriptions.

Oh well... here are some of MY thoughts on
Google and Google Everflux. It's a long
article, sorry!


Google Everflux: Just What We Needed, Google on Speed!
Copyright © 2008




Is it just me or has Google gone into overdrive?
As a professional full-time online marketer I have
to keep my mind firmly placed on what Google is doing.
As much as I try not to because Google has probably
driven more people around the bend than Chrysler and
Mercedes-Benz put together.

Like any professional marketer, I monitor my numerous
keywords on a daily basis - especially my major targeted
keyword phrases that bring in the most sales and subscribers.
For years now, I have had top rankings in Google for my
chosen phrases; they move up and down, but mostly they
don't leave the first page.

However, lately I have been noticing a lot of jumping
in the top listings. Links out of nowhere are appearing,
links being dropped and my own links moving up and
down much too quickly for my comfort. Even six months
ago the Google main index seemed to be a whole lot
more stable than it is now.

Within the past months, rankings within Google have
become more dynamic, more fluid. They can change from
day to day, what some people are calling Google Everflux.
This is very similar to the old Google Dance we used
to have a few years ago...when Google would update or
refresh its index about once a month. Now Google is
stepping out on that dance floor every day.

Once upon a time, your keyword rankings in Google
didn't change that much. Every four or five months
Google would do major updates where your keywords
and your site's PageRank could have a major jump or
fall in Google's index. But have things changed?
Has the whole ranking process now been speeded up?
Has the Google Index now become more fluid, more
dynamic, changeable daily? Updating, fluctuating
on the fly?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Keep in mind, Google Everflux is not a new term.
As far back as July 2002 there are references in
Webmasterworld to the Google Freshbot and Google
Everflux. This term referred to the re-freshing
of the Google Index.

Unlike many SEO theories and assumptions, the Google
Everflux is the Real McCoy. That is if you can believe
the Google Guy, and there's no reason not to take Matt
Cutts at his word.

In his site or blog - www.mattcutts.com - he describes
what is happening here. In a response to a comment on
his blog on January 1, 2007, he gives this answer:

Quoting Matt Cutts: "...I'm not trying to side-step
the issue. I believe that a data refresh, which used
to be every 3-4 weeks, is now happening more like every
day. So the changes in ranking that some people were
seeing on the 17th or 27th during the summer months
can now happen every day."


Even more telling was Matt's response to another
person's summary of these changes within Google.

Senaia said: "So the Index Update is what people use
to call Google Dance, when it was on monthly bases.
Now it's on daily bases and they call it Everflux.

Backlinks update and Pagerank update are also types
of data refresh.

So, the big scary updates like Florida... are Algorithm
updates?"

Matt Cutts said: "Senaia, that's not a bad summary.
Florida and Jagger were changes in our algorithms to
score documents, for example."

However, is the current Google Everflux a more souped-up
version of this re-freshing process? Google in fast-forward?
On speed-dial?

Regardless of the rate of change, Google Everflux is
important simply because Google is so important to any
webmaster or site. There's no denying that, whether you
love it or hate it, Google will deliver the most search
engine traffic to any webmaster who gets top rankings for
his/her keywords. The other search engines shouldn't be
ignored, but most of your search traffic will come from
Google. According to Nielsen Stats in February (2008),
Google had around 60 percent (58.7 - 4.5 billion Google
search queries) of the traffic on the web.

But 60 percent is not the true percentage; from close
examination of my different sites' traffic logs I know
Google gives me around 90 percent of my search traffic.
Maybe I am over optimized for Google, but even when I
manage on rare occasions to get number one rankings in
all three search engines for a minor keyword, Google
is still the one sending the most traffic.

Since this search traffic is extremely important to my
livelihood, I keep a close watch on my major keywords
in Google. Movement up or down just a few places means
an increase or decrease in my traffic. Google has changed.
It is not the same search engine it was 6 months ago.
Not by a long shot.

What does this mean to your site or keywords?

It probably means you have to put your link building
efforts into overdrive if you want to get a top listing
in Google and keep it there. It will probably mean that
you have to be constantly creating valuable content and
quality-relevant links related to your site's topic in
order to remain competitive.

This is what you should be doing in the first place, but
now you will have to work harder to keep your links in
those top positions in Google. At least this has been
my experience lately.

One thing I have noticed with my keyword rankings, links
from the so-called Social Bookmark sites (Digg, Reddit,
Squidoo...) have become very important to Google. Real
people reading and ranking real content. This is what
these social media sites are all about, and it seems
Google is placing more emphasis on these sites.

I say "seems" because with Google, nobody knows for sure.
However, I can see in my daily monitoring of my own keywords
- Google Everflux is real and is probably here to stay.

Over time old links you had are being dropped, as Google
re-ranks their links and index. The whole fall-out from
Google's paid link crackdown is still being played out
as webmasters scramble to devise new ways to juice-up
their links. Google is firing back with new ways to keep
its index supposedly honest, an ongoing, turbulent battle
that will probably get more turbulent. As new sites and
links become important there will be a constant change
in the rankings within Google.

Google also seems to be favoring big, resourceful authority
sites for the top positions in their SERPs, giving these
sites 6 or 7 sub-headings and links - all in the top spot.

Which means it will be much harder for the smaller marketer
to compete. Of course, it is only a matter of time before big,
large corporations completely dominate all the major profitable
keywords on the web, in Google and elsewhere. Once big business
figures out what's going on and realizes just what keyword
control in their industry will give them.

That may be a little extreme, but like any valuable resource,
it won't be long before multi-national corporate giants eat
up the little guys/sites via keyword branding and dominance.
It will take some time, and since there are millions of small
niches there is still some marketing room for small sites to
cash in. But our days of glory are numbered...

For now, if you count on Google for your search traffic,
keep building quality links/content daily and don't forget
the all important social bookmark sites... make sure you're
building some good links from them. One simple solution that
has given me hundreds of social bookmark links in the past
year is simply adding the free AddThis.com button on my sites.
Just let your visitors bookmark and build links for you in
these social media sites.

Keep a blog or blogs and tie in your site with links and
trackbacks. And make sure you tie/connect your site to the
whole blogosphere. Don't forget to add video/audio to your
site, as those formats will play an ever-increasing role
on the web.

No matter what warp-speed Google finally decides upon,
valuable content is still the key to getting top rankings
in any search engine. Adding fresh, valuable relevant content
to your sites each day will keep them in the picture.

If that doesn't work, you can always take up speed car
racing - I heard it is supposed to be very calming on
the nerves. And I bet you one backrub none of them will
have ever heard of Google Everflux.

o Google Ever-Flux: What It Means To Your Site?


If you're reading this email you probably already know
I do most of my online marketing thru the use of
keywords. I earn income (mostly from affiliate products)
by creating websites and webpages that rank high
in all the search engines for my targeted keywords
in the niche markets that I have chosen to promote.

So far it has been a marketing strategy that has
worked. Knock on wood! I have managed to get many
first page listings for my keywords. This search
engine traffic is leveraged to earn me a nice living
from the web. So far.

Now, the other search engines shouldn't be ignored
but most of my search traffic comes from Google.
According to Nielsen Stats in February Google had
around 60% (58.7 - 4.5 billion Google search queries)
of the traffic on the web.

But 60% is not the true number, from close examination
of my different site's traffic logs I know Google gives
me around 95% of my search traffic. Since it is extremely
important to my livelihood, I keep a close watch on my
major keywords in Google.

Movement up or down just a few places means an increase
or decrease in my traffic. Google has changed. It is
not the same search engine it was 6 months ago. Not by
a long shot.

Within the past months rankings within Google have
become more dynamic, more fluid, they can change
from day to day - what some people are now calling
Google Ever-Flux.

Once upon a time, your keyword rankings in Google didn't
change that much - every two or three months Google would
do major updates where your keywords and your site's PageRank
could have a major jump or fall in Google's index.

Now Google's index is more dynamic, changing on the fly
or as new links come online...

One thing I have noticed with my keyword rankings, links
from the so called Social Bookmark sites (Digg, Reddit,
Squidoo...) have become very important to Google. Real
people reading and ranking real content. This is what
these social media sites are all about and it seems

keywords - Google Ever-flux is real and is probably

What does this mean to your site or keywords?

It probably means you have to put your link building

o My New Affiliate Marketing Blog At SiteProNews


This week I made my first post in a New SiteProNews
blog. SPN has given several online writers and/or
marketers a chance to create their own blogs on
SiteProNews, which is a site mainly aimed at SEO
and online marketing techniques.

This is one of those "win-win" situations, the
writer receives wider exposure and SiteProNews
receives unique content to display. I normally
would only put my unique content on my own sites
but you have to change with the times.

Since most of my main sites are geared to Internet
marketing SPN is a good match for me. One of my own
long-term marketing strategies has been to hand-pick 6
or 7 top level sites to display my content. Google likes
people and sites who are connected to other closely
related sites. (As long as you don't pay for those links!)

Most of my Posts at SiteProNews will be on my own
marketing tactics and experiences. Concentrating
on affiliate marketing as applied to search engine
optimization.

Along those lines my first post has to deal with
"Monetizing Traffic vs Monetizing Websites" - where
I look at some of the lucrative distinctions to
monetizing your traffic instead of your website…

o How To Buy Big Ticket Guru Info Products


This week saw the launch of Jeff Walker's
Product Launch Formula 2.0 - I am sure you
probably got an email or two. Jeff is the
guy who started all this product launch
silliness.

Not that I am knocking Jeff Walker's product
- nor am I really knocking the "Gurus" that
are plugging it. It's a great product and
if you have 2 grand to invest - go for it.

My major beef - I don't like the process
or way these launches are carried out. It
just seems way too much artificial hype and
urgency is created to help sell these products.

Buy now before someone else beats you to it.
Only a few copies left... it's the whole
"shark bowl mentality" that I object to and
don't like. Any marketing product should
stand on its own merit - you shouldn't have
to create a feeding frenzy in order for you
or your well connected Guru Buddies can
make some big bucks in a few minutes.

And I don't like the big prices attacked
to these products. I can easily afford them
now but I couldn't afford them when I was
just starting out. Someone trying to get into
online marketing can't afford those high
prices.

But I can understand the marketing behind these
huge price tags - and no it is not all about
greed. What legit big name Guru is going to sell
a $20 ebook, no matter how good it is.

The large price tag is there to attract the big
marketers so that those same marketers can offer
their own high-priced products as bonuses.

Actually, if you're into online marketing
like I am, these huge prices are worth it.
You can write them off as a cost of doing
business and the bonuses makes these offers
worth considering...

But a word of advice, if you're going to
buy Jeff Walker's product - shop around first.
Make sure your buy it from the Guru or Big
Time Marketer that is offering the best
bonuses or the bonus that suits your needs.

NEVER EVER buy from the person who made the
product. Never ever buy from the original
seller.

Instead, shop around and consider what
the Gurus are offering to sweeten the pot.
If you're into online marketing you should
be on many marketers' lists, just so that
you can compare what each is welling to
offer if you buy from their links. Quite
frankly, sometimes what these marketers
offer as a bonus is better than the offered
product. In either case you get more for money -
especially since all the latest best marketing
products are coming with a high price tag.


Here's a few you should know:


John Reese
Mike Filsaime
Michael Cheney
Joel Comm
Frank Kern!
Yanik Silver
StomperNet Guys
Marlon Sanders
Neil Shearing...

One word of advice, make sure you clean out
or delete your "cookies" before buying from
your favorite marketer. Affiliate links are
usually "cookied" with the first link you
click so that person will get credited with
the sale.

If a dispute arises later, you may have
trouble collecting your bonuses - so clean
out your cookie first or only click on the
affiliate link of your chosen marketer to
buy the featured product.




o Right Link - Create PDF Files with Google Docs


My mistake - it was pointed out to me last week
that I had added the "www" before the Google Doc
link I gave you last week for creating PDF
(Portable Document Format). That link doesn't
work with "www" added.

Here's the correct link:

http://docs.google.com/


Great way to turn all your articles, ebooks,
posts... into PDF files. Use them to build
your list, get viral traffic and get your
name out there.



o Spring Sale for SBI


Site Build It is having a Spring Special
- for $100 more you can get another SBI
site. Pair up with a friend or just use
these two sites yourself.

SBI Sale


Good until March 28.

Now if I was a big time Guru I would
be offering you special bonuses to buy
from my link. However, since I am not,
I can only offer you my help which I give
free anyway... always have and always will.

Just email your questions or concerns and
I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Not that I know all the answers, I just
may have just been around for a longer time
than someone just starting out and know
where to find those answers.
