The #1 Reason I Started A Home Basaed Business.

I think I am among the majority of entrepreneurs when I say though there are several reasons I wanted to start a home based business, the #1 reason was “TO MAKE MONEY”.

If you are working your business to make money, than it is just a hobby. Unfortunately many newbies just starting their home based business don’t get really serious about it and they tend to treat it like a hobby, and that is why they are not making any money online. Is it easy to make money online? Yes if you know what you are doing. Believe me I had my share of trial and error. I guess that is why I started a blog that gives advice and tips for those who are just starting out with their home based business. I also write about mistakes to avoid while working your business.

Do Link Exchanges Work?

Yes, link exchanges can work very well if they are done correctly.

I just posted an article with some things to think about when working on link exchanges.

Some times, the best way to exchange links is to find many websites with the same basic content, but who may not be in direct competition, and to swap links with all of them. That can up your traffic, and those links will move you up in the rankings on many searches.

SEO? In-House Or Outsource? Answers Here

SEO efforts in my firm are still currently managed in-house and the reason why I have not decided on outsourcing this piece of work is because I have yet to meet any company who really understands what’s important in SEO and how it truly works. But that’s in Singapore, perhaps it’s different if you from another part of the world. Regardless of where you come from, you will benefit from my search engine marketing insights.

Another reason why SEO is still not outsourced in my firm is simply because, I have in my team someone who is well-trained in search engine optimization. It’s not just some theories one can pick up from an ebook or from a short 1-2 day workshop. Unless this person has implemented and maintained SEO especially on big websites and has probably survived a few rounds of search engine algorithm changes in the last few years, he/she is still relatively untested. And since we are generating a very high amount of online sales through our website, we just cannot afford to take this risk.

But if you are a small business owner and even if you do not sell online, you should outsource your SEO efforts because your time is worth it and because your potential customers deserve to find you online. I cannot tell you how much frustrations I had trying to locate a local service via all the major search engines in Singapore. They just can’t be found! And I do believe it’s the same else where and thousands of businesses have not awaken to the reality that more and more people are going online each day and they are “dying” to buy their products/services online.

So the answer to the proverbial outsourcing question is this? Unless you are prepared and have the budget to invest in training and grooming someone within your team on SEO, you should outsource. Because whether you like it or not, Search Engines are here to stay and as they evolve, your website cannot afford not to be found on them.

So then, what should you look out for when you do outsource to a local SEO company? These are the key points to note and I am assuming you understand the ills of unethical SEO practice.

Are they already working for your competition?
A good and ethical SEO company should only work exclusively with one company from a particular industry. While you cannot deny the firms their rights, but you should defend your own. Common sense will tell you the issue of conflict of interest will arise when a firm take on another assignment with your competitor. Who is he going to help more? Until you are able to secure an agreement in black and white on their exclusivity option, my advice is to stay away.

Who is managing your SEO campaign?
Your SEO campaign is only as good as the person who has been assigned by the firm to execute it, find out what are some of the previous SEO projects this same search marketing person NOT the company has managed. Staff turnover in search firms are extremely high and the risk in going with someone with untested track record is more than just your money, it’s your website’s reputation! I have seen how poorly executed SEO resulting in sites getting permanently banned from the search engines.

Can they “guarantee” your success?
I am expecting a No for an answer in case you are assuming otherwise. If the search engines cannot assure you of a good ranking, what makes you think the SEO firms can? Because the rules of ranking (algorithm) are constantly changing, you ought to work with a search firm who can offer you a sound long term road map on their approach to help you achieve your business objectives. Ongoing work is often needed to maintain one’s position in SERP (search engine results page), and like most successes in life, success in SEO is a journey not a destination.

Finally, getting your website ranked through SEO is good but still incomplete in the grand scheme of things, a well-rounded and effective search marketing plan should also include PPC efforts along with a mechanism to track outcomes or conversions. In fact, starting your Search Engine Marketing Campaign with PPC first is a much smarter way than with SEO. Most firms today are either good at one or the other rarely both, you know you found a good catch if they are able to demonstrate to you very clearly in their proposal the overall solution (ppc, seo and conversion tracking) to search.

Installing A Tracking Pixel To Track Conversions

Tracking conversions is important for you to determine which system works best for your website. And installing a tracking pixel on the “thank you” page of your website is probably the most common method to do it.

How does it work? The tracking pixel will “fire” whenever someone makes it from the top of your sales funnel to the bottom of your sales funnel. This can give you a daily, weekly, or monthly conversion rate report. Find out more about it and get more marketing tips and tricks at http://www.alextran.com.

Free Websites Earn Big Profits

A lot of money can be made on the Internet when you find a source of free websites. When a person does not have to pay a professional website designer for web design services, they can use those proceeds to invest in SEO tools to promote their site.

You must also think about possibly paying for traffic to build your business through mailing lists and promotional items.

SEO Strategies for New Orleans area businesses

While SEO is something that people have been talking about for years - only recently are businesses in the New Orleans area beginning to grasp the importance of being found…especially for local search phrases. Do a quick search for “insurance agents in New Orleans” and compare it to “insurance agents Los Angeles” to get an idea of the difference.

The good news for New Orleans area businesses is that the online competition for local visibility is nowhere near the level that it is in other markets. That means that businesses who are just starting out can potentially have good results in a shorter timeframe.

WebSite Traffic

Ten years ago, you could get away with slapping up a couple of pages, one a sales copy page and another to order your product or service. This formula absolutely doesn’t work today. The major search engines are interested in providing useful information to their clients, the net surfer. It’s now necessary to offer considerable value, in terms of free, relevant and accurate information your visitors can use. Even entertainment value is considered in these ultra-smart search engine algorithms. Today, your website content is essential to driving traffic to your website.

Whether the information desired is for online marketing, writing sales copy or communicating with customers, affiliates selling online products need to be aware of what competitors are doing. Knowing what other affiliate marketers are doing to increase revenue and sales may benefit you.

Getting Top Search Engine Rankings

Over the last few years, pay per click advertising has become too expensive for most people to make a  profit from it. Nowadays, most webmasters are better off learning search engine optimization to get organic traffic to their websites. There are certain things you need to know to succeed with SEO. You can now learn how to get high search engine rankings quickly at Wild SEO.

Keyword Research Is Critical For Webmasters

Before you build or promote your site, you need to do one thing. It’s a think most webmasters wake up in the morning with a cold sweat on their brow as they contemplate it. It’s a task that sucks up time faster than a vacuum cleaner by Dyson. Yes, it’s …. Keyword research. To get the rankings in the search engines and the easy traffic you are looking for, there is no way around it, you need to choose the right niche and the right keywords. If you want to make money with Google Adsense you will also need to choose the highest paying keywords. It is no good building a website where the advertisers only want to pay 5 or 10 cents a click. Compile a list of the top paying adsense keywords in your chosen niche and get to work.

How Important Is The Website Template For SEO

What makes the difference between profitable websites and unprofitable websites?

While there are many factors that can affect a website’s profitability, I’ve found that in general there are two key ingredients that must be combined to create a successful site… Good Design and Content, Smart Monetization and a Visual Theme that ties the whole message together!

Whether they realize it or not, most webmasters who are struggling with unprofitable sites are lacking in one of the above areas.

You might be thinking… what about traffic, and SEO, and all that stuff?

Sure that’s important too, but it’s not the foundation of your business. There are always plenty of ways to get traffic (and I’m going to show you how), but if you haven’t built your website on a solid foundation then it will never be as profitable as it could have been.

If your website has poor content and bad design, you can send traffic to it, but it won’t take long for your visitors to realize you aren’t providing any real value. Chances are, they’ll NEVER return.

Similarly, if your website is not properly monetized, you can throw any amount of traffic at it, but you’ll always be leaving money on the table.

One problem is that many of us have been pre-conditioned to build bad websites.

Perhaps you’ve bought into gimmicks, tactics, and page builders that promise the moon. One “guru” says one thing, while another tells an entirely different story.

After carefully analyzing the problems that online marketers are having, I believe I’ve zeroed-in on some of the biggest reasons that they are failing to create substantial income…

They haven’t launched a website for whatever reason

They haven’t monetized their sites effectively

They’ve never properly optimized their pages

They’vebeen sidetracked by scripts and other so-called “easy roads”

They don’t understand the importance of content and how to create it
Developing virtual real estate can be one of the easiest ways to grow your income, but in the past it hasn’t been EASY for everyone.

Finding Cheap Domain Hosting. Is It Worth It?

In our modern world today, finding cheap domain hosting is easy, but finding the best hosting for your particular needs can be a little more difficult. In fact, with the wide variety of cheap domain hosts out there, it can actually be pretty hard to figure out what meets your need best. In view of this, some people think that the most important thing is to save money. To that end, they find a domain that fits their minimum bandwidth requirements at the lowest rate.

But of course, it depends a lot on the kind of business you are running. You know that there’s a lot of business in line with this. If your web needs are minimal and restricted to a handful of web pages, it makes a lot of sense for you to go all out and get the best cheap domain hosting you can. If, on the other hand, you are running thousands, or even tens of thousands of web pages, a couple bucks extra here and a couple bucks extra there can quickly add up to a lot of money!

The Dangers of Unethical SEO

I have just published a new article on The Dangers of Unethical SEO

There are terms and conditions laid out by major search engines such as Google™, Yahoo!™ and MSN™ that prohibit the use of techniques such as link bombing, textual spamming, cloaking and other unethical search engine optimization methods. Ethical Search Engine Optimization should always conform to these terms and conditions; if not, any results gained for your site and the money you pay could prove not only ineffective but very counterproductive when the search engines discover how you cheated your way to the top.

Creating Original Website Content

  Creating original website content isn’t too hard if you have some knowledge on the subject, or niche, that your website covers. If you take what you know about your sites niche and break it down into many sub-niches for your individual web pages, you’ll eventually have the beginnings of a completely original web site. Take all the sub-niches you come up with and write an article for each one of them. Each article will then go on one of your web pages. As you create new web pages you’ll likely come up with ideas for even more original content and get higher search engine rankings.
