List Building With No Autoresponder

Since publishing a few thoughts and suggestions on listbuilding with free services a short while ago, several people have emailed me and asked if there is anything that is more effective than others, and whether it's really possible to build and use a list without the services of a professional autoresponder.

I've been testing various systems for a while now and there is definitely one system that stands head and shoulders above the rest.

The system utilizes the power of My Viral Spiral which, if you can afford the price tag, is an awesome viral listbuilding tool. Having said that, it's probably not within reach of many. 

However, the way MVS works can still benefit you, even if you can't justify buying the system for yourself. How? Well, the MVS system works on the basis of helping others to build lists while you build your own, and you can pass on the list love as a means of growing your own list. It is viral marketing taken to another level in effect.

So, how can you benefit? Well, if you are prepared to join my list, all will be revealed!

Sorry, just kidding, I'll tell you how it works. If you join the mailing list by filling in your details in my right sidebar (The $47 dollar value offer which is well well worth reading in any case), you will become a member of the viral listbuilding machine and have access to various free products to aid you in your own list building. Or you can sign up by clicking on the link below if you prefer

Whenever anybody signs up to your list, they in turn become part of the viral list building process and will be helping you to build a list ten levels deep.

You don't need an autoresponder for this to work for you, as you an email your list every five days through an online mailer. However, if you do have an account with Aweber, Get Response or Email Aces, you can fully integrate your autoresponder with this system.

This is about as easy as listbuilding gets, trust me. I can't guarantee that it will bring you thousands of subscribers, but it's a great place to start if you're thinking of doing so. It's very easy to implement as you'll see when you sign up. There are lots of bonus benefits such as integration of your own product or affiliate landing pages, easy to use sign up forms and squeeze pages, rebrandable viral digital products and it's all free.

Yes, that's right, you can use this system entirely free of charge. You don't have to have an autoresponder.  I think you will be very pleasantly surprised :-)

It's never too early to start building your list!

Best Ways To Publish RSS

As RSS news syndication gains popularity among users, new ways for publishing RSS are emerging. In this article, I examine the three most popular methods, and help you decide which one works best for you.

1. Blogs

Weblogs, or blogs, as they are commonly called, are the primary reason RSS gained popularity. In fact, one of the earliest uses for RSS was for bloggers to monitor other blogs for updates.

Most blogging systems will produce RSS newsfeeds automatically. All you need to do is enter content, and the blogging software will build a newsfeed based on the information you enter. No extra work is needed. Just add content to your blog, and you have a newsfeed.

But there is one major disadvantage to using a blog for publishing RSS: you do not have complete control of the RSS output. Most blogging software will simply take an excerpt of your blog entry (e.g. the first 15 words), and use that to create your RSS item. As you can imagine, this can lead to problems. The first 15 words of a blog entry do not always capture the essence of that article.

2. RSS Publishing Software

Because of the inadequacy of blogs as a reliable and accurate RSS tool, new stand-alone software was developed. This software has one purpose: to provide the user with an easy way to create and publish RSS newsfeeds from their desktops. No longer do you have to write a long article in your blog to produce RSS feeds. All you have to do is enter a title for your news item, and (optionally) a couple sentences to describe that headline – and your feed is better than the blog-produced feed.

Examples of RSS publishing software for Windows include FeedforAll and Newzalert Composer. Mac users have their own tool in Orangebox for Macintosh.

3. Online RSS Publishing Systems

While subscribers to feeds generated by RSS software enjoyed the simplicity and clarity of the new feeds, some publishers began to run into problems that came with the publishing software. They missed the convenience of blogging's online publishing that allowed them to add news -- regardless of whether they were at their home computer.

News publishers wanted the accessibility of online blogging with the accuracy of RSS publishing software. The new demand lead to the emergence of online RSS publishing systems such as FeedServer RSS Hosting. This new format of RSS publishing allows webmasters to login to an online control panel and publish their news – without having to worry about restrictive software licenses. Since most online RSS publishing systems run on a subscription basis, you can make use of the free trial or subscribe for one month and evaluate if the service meets your needs.

So which system should you use to publish RSS? It depends on your needs. If most of your readers manually visit your site to get new information, a blogging system may be sufficient. However, if you plan to take advantage of the full capabilities of RSS news syndication, you would do well to use a stand-alone RSS publishing system. RSS publishing software will satisfy your needs if you plan to use one computer only. But if you're looking for flexibility and a lower startup costs, look into the new online RSS publishing systems.

How to protect your computer from viruses

by: mandeep15kaur

Nowadays as the Internet and other networks are greatly developed, computer viruses are distributed rapidly and intensively. Everyday several new viruses capable to damage considerably your computer system arise. Anti-virus specialists work hardly to make updates their software against new viruses as soon as possible. The viruses can get inside computer in different ways. That is why there is no simple method to protect system. Only series of measures can give you reliable protection from the infection. Below are 9 steps to protect MS Windows based PC system from viruses.

1. Make regular backups.

It should be said that there is no safe way of protection. Virus creators regularly find holes in new computer products to use them for infection of computer systems. Some dangerous viruses can considerably damage data files or even erase entire file system. Make regular backups of your data files to separate file storage device. It can be separate hard drive, flash card, compact disc or another file storage device which you choose. To ease the procedure you can use some automatic backup software. And be ready if the system will die because of virus infection.

2. Be ready to reinstall your system if it dies because of viruses.

Get distributives of your operation system and distributives of software which you use and keep them together, for instance, on a set of CDs not far away from you. In this case, if virus infection will cause unrecoverable system failure you can rapidly reinstall your working medium.

3. Protect your network connection with Firewall.

Firewall is a software which blocks suspicious potentially dangerous connections to preventing viruses from network to penetrate into your system. Windows XP system has quit simple but reliable built-in firewall. You can enable it as follows. 1) in Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. 2) Right-click the connection on which you would like to enable firewall, and then click Properties. 3) On the Advanced tab, check the option to Protect my computer and network.

If you need more flexible control of connections with network you can get and install more advanced firewall software like Norton Personal Firewall or Outpost Firewall. If you use this software, you have ability to permit or to block particular connections and to monitor network activity.

4. Use antivirus software.

Install antivirus software, which will scan your system searching and erasing viruses on a regular basis. Leaders in antivirus software products for Windows systems are Norton Antivirus, McAfee, Kaspersky Anti-Virus and PC-cilin.

5. Regularly update operating system.

Windows XP has built-in automatic update service. It regularly contacts Microsoft server to find updates and notifies you if updates are ready to be installed. Updates are important because hackers regularly find holes in operating system, which are often used by virus creators.

6. Don't install and do not run suspicious software.

Check new programs, which you are going to install with anti-virus software. Do not download software from suspicious websites. To download software always seek website of software creator or official distributor. Do not open applications received by email from unknown persons.

7. Limit access to your computer.

Protect enter to system with password.

8. If you use Internet Explorer, consider moving to another browser.

As IE is the most distributed browser today virus creators actively use defects in its security system to infect computers. Infection may arise if you will visit webpage which contains invisible harmful code. You are more safe if you use less known browser only because virus creators do not pay much attention to it. Major IE competitors Firefox and Opera browsers provide now the same comfortable interface and range of services for working on the Web.

9. Use spam protection.

Viruses are often distributed via email. Switch on spam filters in your email box to block spam receiving. If you need assistance with using of the filters, you can ask your email service provider.

Want To Make Web 2.0 Work For Your Business?
Silicon Valley loves its buzzwords, and none more than it does Web 2.0 these days. But what exactly is it in terms of website development and strategic internet marketing? Unless you're a diehard techie, wish you good luck in figuring out what it means.

Web 2.0 technologies bearing names like wikis, blogs, RSS, AJAX, mashups and the startups hawking them -- Renkoo, Gahbunga, Ning, Squidoo sound to be straight out of Star Wars, right up Mr. George Lucas’ alley.

So what does all this mumbo-jumbo means to a normal businessman – a value multiplier or ‘only for geeks’ stuff? Rest assured Mr. Businessman, for all its appeal to the young, the nerds and the wired; Web 2.0 may end up making its greatest impact in business.

And this could well prove to be the one vehicle to usher in more changes in corporations that are already in the throes of such tech-driven transformations as globalization and outsourcing. Indeed, what some are calling Enterprise 2.0 could transcend the whole lot of organizational boundaries, between managers and employees and between the company and its partners and customers.

So how does one go about making Web 2.0 work for his/her business? Let’s see how:

2. Good content is the key
Web 2.0 is the social web, but it's still content-driven. And the control lies in the hands of the users here, mind you! You might think yourself to be the smartest marketing man this side of the Suez but remember, it is the user who would determine how good or bad you are. Lousy content leads to lousy marketing, no matter how flashy it is. Make your content relevant, interesting and real. Put yourself in your customer's shoes, ask yourself questions you would as a customer and answer those with your content.

3. Be information provider not a salesman
Help, inform, educate but do not sell. Web 2.0 is all about people connecting by helping each other. No salesmen allowed! Think education, not advertising. Deliver useful, nuts and bolts stuff or honest opinions they can believe. That's how you build credibility and trust that lead to new customer relationships.

4. Have a free hosted blog
Wordpress and Blogger both have very useful and simple blogs you can setup for free. Use them to start blogging and get a feel for how it works and how people use Web 2.0. Dip your toe in the water to test it before diving straight in.

5. Do it yourself
Web 2.0 is about being real. It's real people connecting with each other. Make sure you or your employees create the content and do the work to start with. And when scales demand it, hire a professional company offering strategic internet marketing services. Still keep tab on what they are doing and what they are writing.

Surf blogs, YouTube, Google Videos, Del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Technorati and other social media websites. Get a feel for how they work and who goes there. Become part of some social media communities. Make new friends online. Get in touch with professional web development companies and firms providing internet marketing services well versed in Web 2.0 tools and marketing ways. Immerse yourself in the Web 2.0 culture so you know how it works and where and how it fits in smoothly with your marketing plans.

Organic SEO vs. PPC Advertising

By Matt Hockin

When you purchase visitors or "clicks" from a search engine, this is called "pay-per-click" (PPC) search engine advertising (or PPCSE). Pay-Per-Click Search Engine Advertising allows you to quickly get top search engine placement by "bidding" (paying) for keywords related to your product or service.

"Organic" or "Natural" search engine optimization (SEO) is accomplished by optimizing your web pages and by increasing your "link popularity" by acquiring or paying for links that point to your web site. This gives you high rankings at the Search Engines for your chosen search terms.
In this article, we will explore the strengths and weaknesses of both methods of search engine marketing.

"Natural" Search Engine Optimization
Today, there is a big myth that natural search engine optimization is inexpensive and easy. For example, if you wanted your web site to rank high for the keyword phrase "life insurance" or "debt consolidation" you're going to need to budget a minimum of $50,000-100,000 a year!
Yet still, natural search engine optimization usually gives you a much higher return on investment than pay per click. This is true for two main reasons:

• More searchers click the natural search engine results versus the pay per click ads, so you'll get much more traffic for less.
• One of the biggest factors to improving your rankings with natural search engine optimization is by boosting your "Link Popularity" by acquiring or paying for links that point to your web site. These links give you lasting results by giving you top rankings and traffic from the search engines. Plus, the links themselves will provide a significant boost in long term traffic.
  

With that said, the biggest weakness of natural search engine optimization is the time required to generate links and "tweak" your web pages and keywords to get those prized high rankings you so desire. It can literally take 3 months or more to finally enjoy the benefits of your search engine optimization campaign.

Pay Per Click Search Engine Advertising
The biggest benefit of pay per click is the fact that it will provide you with an immediate boost of qualified visitors, lead and sales giving you fast results within just hours or days. In fact, a pay per click advertising program is your best option if you seek fast results and a good return on investment while you are waiting for your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) program to "ramp up."

Depending on your traffic goals, you can budget $100 or $100,000. PPCSEs also give you the added benefits of being able to quickly test your web site and track your conversion rates (leads, opt-ins, and sales) and turning keywords (visitors) on and off easily.

So, as a short term strategy pay per click gives you the clear advantage over SEO. But, the disadvantage is the cost involved. Depending on the market demand for your keywords and clicks, your PPCSE campaign can generate tons of traffic and can cost hundreds, even thousands per day. With various optimization strategies you can lower your costs, but over the long term natural search engine optimization will give you a higher return on your marketing dollar.

In Conclusion
The golden rule in marketing is that you should constantly strive for maximum results and ROI for your budget. In other words, if your marketing is making you a profit - even if it's a thin profit - it's worth it. By this model, pay per click is worth doing, but overall pay per click will leave you with thinner margins.

The reason for conducting a natural search engine optimization campaign is to significantly increase your margins over the long term.

Website Design Tips By SEO Company

by: rajeev_guglani

When the website design is easy to get around, visitors will stay longer. Better design means less eye movement and this will lead to more conversion. Design sites just like Road Maps giving complete indication to the user about various links and paths. Provide those points to the site that have high contrast to attract the visitor's eye. Use different font sizes and larger fonts for the headings. Use faces as faces are visual anchors for users and more interesting and comforting. Underline the links in blue. Surround text, images and click able links with white spaces. Use captions on pictures. Use some motion like flash or video to attract the visitors.

Use proper alignment to separate different information from different sources. Use proper navigation structure on each page. Use some white space on each page. Use proper anchors on each page. Use headers and group of text in a way that is easy for the visitors to read and locate. Do not mix and use too many font styles. Be consistent.

While using long navigation or menu bars use headers for visual anchor points that help in finding. Under each heading do not use more than 7 items. When you group the navigation headings user remain longer on navigation. Organized navigation will increase your find ability. Avoid that navigation that has more mouse-over drop downs. These are not search engine friendly and users also do not prefer them because drop down disturb your page content. Generally left navigation is preferred on larger sites by users. In case you use graphic navigation use code embed alt and titles for search engines.

While designing product pages always remember to use most commonly used on page optimization on all product pages, Meta data that is page specific and h1 tag and unique content. Provide add to cart button in close association with product price which is either next of or directly under it. Proper color and appearance should be there in add to cart button.

Thus if you follow the proper SEO ethics while designing a website it produces effective results in the long run while doing further On site and Off site promotion efforts for your website in the near future. A good SEO Services Company while providing the web promotion Services always takes in to consideration the website design ethics.

Search Engine Optimization and English Spelling

Recently I was analyzing keywords used by the visitors to search my website and thought of discussing some issues related to spelling with other people.

I found many people coming to my website are not using the correct spellings while searching in the search engines. It is fact that a large number of people who use internet through out the world do not have good knowledge of English. You may found lot of people of China, India, France, Germany, Russia and many other countries do lack in using correct English spellings.


Another problem is different spellings used by UK English and International English. When web masters optimize their websites they pick the most commonly used terms and phrases with respect to their websites and they either follow the UK English or International English and they optimize the sites accordingly. But for instance if you are following UK English, your site may not be come up on top ranking for the corresponding International English keyword. Some common examples are Organization and Organization, Optimization and Optimization, color and color etc. etc.

I found many webmasters follow the following techniques to avoid the above problems:-

1. Use the variant spelling of the keywords in the meta tags
2. Use all possible variants and misspelled words in the main body
3. Some people mask the misspelled words that are they use the same color of the text as their page color hence not visible to human but can crawled by search engine bots.
   

But I feel all the above tricks are no longer useful as google do not give much importance to meta tags now a days, no one would like putting misspelled words in the main body and the last one is strongly not recommended as many search engine do not like this approach and may exclude your website from their index.

What is the Best Approach?

I recommend the following two approaches to address the issue:-

1. use the wrong or misspelled words in the Alt tags of your images, as many search engines index the alt tags.
2. Off Page Factors, while doing link building for your website, you can deliberately use the wrong or misspelled words in the anchor text and it will solve your problem to a great extent.

Organic SEO

Organic SEO is all about being in the left hand side of the page, so probably requires the logical right brain’s input!

In order to achieve regular top listings on the left hand side of the page, which will attract 80% of all the click activity, then you need to be adding content on a regular basis.

You need to be adding content to websites or blogs that the search engines are attracted to. It also adds power if the website relates to your mission. No point in offering hair dressing technique tips on a finance dominated website, unless you’re talking about the latest wonder hair spray and their share price has move 10 points!

So first thing to do, before you excel a ton of random energy in a 100 different directions which result in a not a lot going on, is to choose your mission, make it singular.

If you sell a range of products or services, pick just one to work with. One that is both profitable and popular.

When you have decided which it is to be then you need to write down all the key phrases you would use to find your “chosen one”. Ask friends and colleagues for the input on this and generate a list of 100 phrases.

Then, using a product such as Word Tracker, assess each phrase and turn your 100 into your top 10 key phrases based on the power of the phrase (number searching it) and also relevance to you, possibly a geographical reference i.e. * in Berkshire, where * is your key phrase. This may not be searched by as many people but it will certainly be more powerful as people do tend to like to do business locally.

I’m feeling a series coming on... let’s call this part 1 and in a few days we’ll do part 2 which deals with... now that would be telling!! Talk again soon about organic seo.

Part 6 - What should I pay?

Part 6 - What should I pay?

In the previous parts I've discussed a number of domain characteristics that I look at prior to a purchase. I'm now going to attempt to provide some guidelines for what you may expect to pay for traffic domains. Before I begin I would like to stress that they are guidelines only and that every domain deal needs to be treated on a case by case basis.

Since domains are valued in multiples of revenue what you should always look for is a consistent revenue line. Without a consistent line you are unlikely to make a return on your investment. This may seem obvious but many people get caught up in the deal and forget why they are making it.

The more inconsistent the revenue line the great the discount for the buyer so that they can hedge some of the risk. If you are selling your domains then you are essentially selling a trailing revenue stream so the more work that you can do on your domains to ensure that it's consistent the higher the price.

The second risk facing a purchaser is legal. For example, if the domain name is trademark infringing then the potential new owner not only has to factor in the risk that the domain may be taken off them by the trademark owner but they also may get a damages case. All of this reduces the price.

I'm really going to stick my neck out here and state some revenue multiple ranges for different types of domains. For the purposes of this example let's imagine that roysfood.com has a trademark and is a small business in Utah.

Type of domain	Example	No. Months
Direct TM infringing from heavy TM defending company	microsoftword.com	0-3
Direct TM infringing from non-defending company	roysfood.com	6-12
TM typo of heavy defending company	micorsaft.com	3-9
TM typo of non-defending company	rosyfod.com	12-18
Typo of a generic multi-word	domainperking.com	36-48
Typo of a generic single-word	domain.com	48-60
Generic multi-word	domainparking.com	60-72
Generic single-word	domain.com	72+

Now for all of the disclaimers. These revenue multiple estimations are that, estimations and will vary on a domain by domain basis. The domains are ONLY valued by their traffic and not from the brand ability of the domain. So please don't tell me that boat.com is worth a lot more than I'm suggesting.

Remember that if you have a TM domain name that you are taking on considerable risk that is sometimes not just financial but can be classified as a business risk. Be very careful in heading in this direction and DO NOT read the above table as an endorsement of that type of activity.

For .net's discount the above by 30% and for .org extensions by 50%. ccTLD's are really in a category to themselves and their value depends upon the country. For instance co.uk domains are worth a lot more than .za.

I know that I'm sticking my neck out there but I hope that it gives some of you a bit of a guide. I'm sure that I will get a lot of feedback on this article.....which is great! The more of us that contribute the more accurate the figures will become.

Part 5 - Buying domains with CTR, EPC and Parking

Part 5 - Buying domains with CTR, EPC and Parking

We've managed to plough our way through a whole lot of information on buying a domain name but the best is yet to come. This is part five in the "Domaining 101" article and in this part we'll be discussing the impact on a domain's valuation caused by earnings per click, click through rate and parking companies.

Click through rate (CTR) is very important when purchasing a domain because it often indicates whether there are live, real people at the other end interacting with a parked web page.

I've seen many people on the forums trying to sell domains with thousands of unique visitors per day. Unique visitors do NOT necessarily mean an actual person, so beware!

For example, the domain may have previously been a virus launch site so that it is getting repeatedly hit by "Trojans" on different IP addresses around the world but none of the traffic is real.

Other methodologies of increasing traffic artificially include reporting not unique users but a total traffic number. This is often done by sellers who only report web stats and not screen captures of parking statistics. Web statistics often also include currently unmonetizable traffic such as graphics and applications. This makes the numbers look great (particularly for ex-photo websites).

In my view, other than if the seller is trying to exit a business (sell a website) the seller should always have parking company statistics. It is the rare sale that needs to be done so quickly that there was not time to get even a few days of stats.

When I see a "claimed" click through rate for a domain the first thing I do is check out what the keyword (if any) is being applied to the domain. I then compare this CTR against the average CTR for all our domains at ParkLogic for that keyword to make sure that it's a reasonable claim. If it is out by a lot then I either stop the negotiation or ask some more questions.

I also ask for statistics over the last couple of months as this will often show up any potentially fraudulent clicks. It's easy to add clicks for a week or so but much hard to consistently sustain clicks over a couple of months.

Likewise I also like to see earnings per click stats (EPC) and relate them back to a keyword. We've been tracking keywords for years and checking the existing keyword payout rate for a domain against our database has been invaluable in determining a potentially likely fraudulent claim.

A wild fluctuation in the EPC across a couple of months often indicates a category that does not have very much advertising. This strikes at the heart of the consistent return on your investment and should ultimately impact your offer to the domain owner.

For example, I've seen a domain that has earned 3 cents one day and $178 the next. So what's it worth? No idea. You can't average those two numbers as there isn't enough data to determine if the payment rate per day is then going to shift to becoming 3 cents or $178. Due to this uncertainty the domain purchase price needs to go down.

What I also look for is whether a keyword has been appropriately applied to a domain name. If a domain which is music related is using a "games" keyword then you can bet that you'll increase the daily rate that the domain earns with a new keyword.

I always check where a domain is parked. I then ask if the seller has any special relationship with the parking company that is artificially inflating the figures. If I have a special deal which is better than the sellers then it will help me adjust my return on investment calculation accordingly.

On the other hand if the seller has a better deal then me then it may cause me to talk with the parking company and seek under what terms I can also get that deal. Always remember, if you don't ask then you don't get.

So the CTR, EPC and parking companies all play a pivotal role in helping us determine the price we would pay for a domain name. The challenge is to create an algorithm that encompasses all of these variables that results in a meaningful result. I'll see if I can have a go at that in the next part.

Part 4 - Buying Domains and traffic sources

Part 4 - Buying Domains and traffic sources

In the previous part of "Buying Domains" we discussed the importance of developing a good reputation in the domaining community. Domainers conduct business incredibly fast, often doing hundreds of thousands of dollar deals on the basis of an instant message "nod" and the persons reputation. If you get a bad reputation in this industry then you'll never do business in it again, so be careful.

So what are some of the other questions that I ask myself when purchasing a domain name? After "Is the traffic going to continue?" the next most important would have to be, "Where is the traffic coming from?"

The where could relate to links as previously discussed in article 3 but it also can be what country. The country is very important because it will often indicate whether you can actually monetize the traffic. It can also suggest further "fraud" investigation work if the traffic is largely originating from a third world country or places like Turkey.

I really feel sorry for any legitimate Turkish domainers because like or not they are all tagged with the same brush of artificially inflating traffic numbers and increasing revenues via click fraud. If you're from Turkey, know some of these fraudsters and you're a good domainer then you need to report them as it will be the fastest way that I know of for you to be able to increase the value of your portfolio.

Let me provide an example of where I forgot to answer the "Where is the traffic coming from?" question. I'd purchased my first domain and it began to make money. Sure it was only about fifty cents per day but it was fifty cents more than yesterday. I was so cocky and confident that I didn't do a rigorous check on my second purchase. It turned out to be a Russian mp3 website and the traffic died after about 6 months. I ended up re-registering that name every year for about 3 years just to remind me to always ask the "Where is the traffic coming from?" question.

A few flags should have gone off in my head. The biggest one of which is "beware Russian mp3 traffic!" There's always another deal but it's really hard to get your cash back when it's gone. Thank goodness that it was only a few hundred dollars.

For any domains that I'm looking at buying from a complete stranger (which is not often) that are valued over a couple of thousand dollars I always ask to do a traffic test. I of course offer to pay for the test. A traffic test will often show up information on the domain that is not available by looking at the statistics alone.

For example, when I ask for the domain to be pointed to my own nameservers I can check the actual web logs for the domain to see if any repeat IP addresses are evident. I can easily see what country the traffic is coming from and also if the traffic is largely link based rather than type-in. All of this information is really valuable in making an informed purchasing decision and in assisting you in working out a potential return on your investment given a particular offer you may be contemplating.

In Part 5 I'm going to unpack Earnings Per Click, click through rate and parking companies.

Part 3 - Buying Traffic Domains

Part 3 - Buying Traffic Domains

In the previous parts of this article I discussed the importance of determining what business model you are applying to a domain prior to an acquisition. Whether it was for the domains traffic, development or to treat the domain as a stock item is a decision that needs to be made if you are to become a profitable domainer. In this article I'll now explore some of the ways that I've purchased traffic domain names.

The first example I'll look at is purchasing an individual domain from an existing owner.

Since traffic domains generate their return on investment from the traffic going to them then there are a number of questions that should be answered prior to any acquisition or purchase. There are many, many questions that can and need to be asked but I'll tackle the most important one first.

Is the traffic going to continue?

This is the number one question that you should be asking! If the traffic is not going to continue then it will dramatically impact your return on investment. In fact, you may wish to say "no" to the deal right now.

Why wouldn't the traffic continue? The domain for sale may have once been an old website that has an established web of links that will degrade across time. Worse still there may be a single primary link that is providing all the traffic for the domain. If that link is severed then the traffic to your potential acquisition will die.

Another reason why the traffic may cease is that the seller is artificially increasing the traffic numbers by purchasing traffic from elsewhere and pumping up the numbers for the domain. This can be done in a number of way such as via PPC advertising, email lists or I have even seen one case where the domainer had relatives (they had a lot) go to the domain and click on the links. These are ALL acts of fraud and can only be construed as being theft. If you do this then please stop reading as it's all about establishing a good reputation rather than ripping people off.

To overcome fraudulent activities I look at the domainer more than I look at the domain. If the domainer is right then nine times out of ten the domain is right. If there are problems with a domain then I believe a good domainer will often make the transaction good in other ways.

Let me share with you an example of this. A few years ago I purchased a domain from a German friend of mine that over time I've grown to respect. After about one week the traffic to the domain declined dramatically. Neither of us could work out the reason why this had happened and without a moments hesitation my German friend offered to either replace the domain or reverse out the transaction. When you deal with quality people like this then acquiring domain names becomes a LOT less risky.

Therefore, if you are looking at purchasing a domain name then not only do you need to look at the reputation of the seller (I'll talk about this later) you also need to establish a reputation yourself. Good sellers are also nervous about bad buyers.

Establishing a good reputation takes money, time, effort and has an initial payback of zero but a huge long-term payback.

To establish a good reputation I would:

1. Join the domain forums and most of all be humble when asking any questions and taking part in the discussions. You can start here if you like whizzbangsblog.com forum.

If you haven't joined a forum before then the first thing that you should do is introduce yourself. Say where you're from, how long you've been in the industry for, what you are wanting to achieve and a few personal items always help (eg. Married, kids, hobbies etc). Real people with real lives are reading the forums and you would be surprised at how helpful they can be. Most of all, be humble and be who you are.

2. Attend the conferences (eg. TRAFFIC, DomainFest etc). Don't be afraid to talk to people, everyone has to start somewhere. From my experience the great majority of domainers are fantastic people who will often bend over backwards to help a new person to the industry that has a humble attitude.

3. Read the blogs and leave comments. This is not a push for you to leave comments for my benefit but you would be surprised at how fast you can develop a great reputation by leaving insightful thoughts.

4. There are links to all of these resources plus a lot more in the domain archives area.

It may seem that I've diverged from buying domains into establishing a good reputation but let me assure you that it's really hard to do business if you have earned a bad reputation or if you have no reputation at all.

In the Part 4 of Domaining 101 I'll tackle a few more of the important questions that I always think about in any domain purchase.

Part 2 - Buying domains

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Part 1 - What is your Business Model?

Part 1 - What is your Business Model?

I was approached to write a series about to start a domaining companies and reveal some of the opportunities and pitfalls for the unwary.
When I show some shops the first thing I look at is the underlying business model. If there is no business model, so there are no shops, only a game. In many cases you would have better odds to play in any of the casinos in Vegas.

When you look at the domain industry, there are three models that are different from each other even though they are not mutually exclusive. One of the great things about domains is that a single domain can have design features that reflect all three business models.

1. Monetary domain - have incomes now sell for more revenue later.
2. Capital growth - treat domain as a stock item and sell the domain of natural owners in the future.
3. Development - design shop for domain, make money and sell in the future.

When you look at a domain that it is a good idea to think about what kind of business model does this domain support.

For example, if I have a domain with significant traffic that I can make money now so this will reduce the depreciation period on my investment. On the other hand, I bought "asdcffddsc.com" then I would be prepared to continually reinvest the cost of re-registration until the domain is sold to a natural owner / speculator.

Always, always, always think in terms of the underlying business model. I have seen so many newcomers in the domain industry to spend much money on what they thought was fantastic domains, just to have a near zero return on their investment.

For example, "SeattleMedicalBenefitsSchemeForOlderPeople.com" is likely to take a long time to sell at a "natural" the owner of the domain and is unlikely to have any traffic. To develop such a domain to a site will become a branding nightmare.
I know that you might think it is a sovereign domain, but remember that ultimately you have to subject your personal opinion that the business model. Just to reinforce what I say the picture yourself sitting before a table loaded with $ 10 bills. Now Imagine tearing them up one at a time, hundreds and then thousands of dollars sent to the trash. That is what domaining is that without focus on business fundamentals.

If you insist on tearing up the money that then sends a part of it my way and sponsor whizzbangsblog.com?

In Part 2 I'm going to unpack what is the fundamental building blocks you need to start domaining, and that is no probable partner you may want strategy to support your business

Search engine optimization?

Search engine optimization, or SEO, the Act to improve the website of a better visibility among the major search engines. In terms of a business, SEO goal is to help find the possibilities of his role model on its website, products and services.

A good approach to SEO

The attention of a competent SEO firm should be a "holistic" approach to the search engine optimization. Instead of relying on a single device, they should include a number of strategies to show you the results is now permanent. They should also provide a management service that focuses on sustainable, long to see improvement in your search engine.

What are the right strategy?

Unfortunately, the law is not specific to the right strategy in the form of work. SEO in the world is the constant flow of state for work and whether your company may not work for another company.

What will my SEO firm to improve my result is what?

To start, your firm is expected that the expansion of the conference call with you and your team. Perhaps you with them over the meeting in his office to go to your company's products, services and SEO goal. This gives you a great opportunity to see the work of your office environment. If you are not in his office, or even worse is comfortable, if they come to you to refuse to allow their construction, you should immediately consider going somewhere else! SEO who are out there for companies in the buck and not for their wellfare. These firms avoid at all costs!

Once you've established the relationship and his initial interview, you can expect the firm to implement the SEO may be the specific functions include:

* Preliminary evaluation website (structure, content, navigation, etc.)
* For the keyword research to determine the exact scope of your search phrase
* Development of material need where, with a focus on proper use of keywords
* Link to the building campaign to increase the visibility of your search engine
* Submitting your website to directories such as Yahoo and Best of the Web
* Generating online article regarding the distribution of relevant websites to your
* Online press release distribution (with links back to your website)
* Continue to chase the risk of targeted online
* For a regular report to show how to improve your visibility

Some would suggest that you redesign your website SEO firms. If this is the case, not anxiety. Ask them if they can apply while some other site being लूडो SEO strategy. This gives you the immediate benefit of the optimization of waiting for the results of the new site, rather than waiting for everything several months down the line. It is also sure to see the firm provides services and web design, said his package. Thus, the whole process through optimization of a company, instead of being spread to any other company that can not SEO experience. You do not want to spend money on a new website may be that you take a few months of the redo.

Your first reaction may be "to create the company is simply trying to sell me a buck and a new website." Do not jump to that conclusion. A good SEO firm to you if you need a new website, it is really a necessity. Most websites to meet the SEO strategy are not good designs. It is very possible that your website was not originally constructed to customize your online presence. However, if the SEO company's web design department is below par, all means, look for a company that works with SEO and design firm to give you an outstanding website!

Do not forget that you should try to redesign its webite every 1 to 2 years, so this is a great opportunity that a new look and to update its content.

How long will it take?

Facilities to establish strong optimization for your online presence, you expect to have at least a six-month process. This means that your SEO firm to monitor your website will update keywords, submitted to relevant directory on your site, and release the appropriate adjustments and the need to write articles to which they were made with other work feels Their results will help. It is a long time for this process the best that you will succeed. Some of the strategy will show you the results immediately, but do not be surprised if four months down the road, your SEO firm is still hard at work for their benefit.

Black Hat SEO?

Black Wikipedia.org Hat SEO defined as "the way in trying to improve that ranking, rejected by the search engine and / or fraud is involved." It is an unethical practice that the companies have helped create While a quick buck detroying online reputation of some honest businessmen who did not know they are being swindled. The resulting black hat SEO will most likely be banned from our website has been the major search engines, especially Google! You do not want this to appear. This year, between 1 to 3 months to get your site listed on once he has been banned on Google. Make sure your SEO firms do not:

* Create a user to redirect the file that will send a separate page
* Text on a page Hide
* Source code in the text to hide
* Create thousands of pages does not mean that the original content
* Content with your keywords stuffing
* Construction of the web pages for content that is not relevant to your business
* Links in your content is not the recognition that the web pages with your business

I believe ... If Google invisible to your website, your online business will plummet. It is not just the price.

Start today!

Search engine is the key to the success of the SEO to start a program and sustain it at the beginning of time. It takes time to "climb the charts," so it is best to receive the head start on the competition.

The Dark Art Of Search Engine Optimization

The title of this article is designed to illustrate the point of this article. Today, we will not take a look at the black hat search engine optimization tactics. Admittedly, I have toyed with them in a "know your enemy" kind of way, but I am not an expert on advanced cloaking technology or effective link sp @ mming tactics. What we will cover here is the hidden (ie, dark) areas effective optimization strategy.

I have written many times in previous articles and blog posts to use tricks to rank your site is high, in the end, inefficient, which means a trick manipulation of the ranking formula and eventually become obsolete as the search engines work to advance their algorithmearchs and off such possible abuse . But I will illustrate some of the tricks we use to drive traffic to our site. Is this a conflict? Not really, these "tricks" is not so much focused on search engines as they are the owners of sites and visitors. These are marketing tricks, not SEO tricks - they just happen to help you with your ranking.

Before we begin, we will look at an important point about Google. When will the majority on Google they think of the dominant search engine (and that they would be right) But if Google was mainly a search engine, they would be much less than they are now. No, they are an advertising company and the world's largest in that. Therefore, they need traffic, market share, and click. They need you to love Google.com, visit it often to visit their other properties and offers that Gmail. If you do this, the odds click one of the paid advertisements is increasing and their primary function is fulfilled. It is driven by this that Google has developed the most complex search algorithm that has ever existed. Their search is their primary source of traffic. The better the results, the more you will return, the more likely you will click on an ad, the more revenue they generate (which led to their continued increases in reported income quarter-after-qu species). Why is this important? Since this is the driving force in their current algorithm and will be for the foreseeable future, we can assume that any measures that increase the relevant traffic to your site, increases the stickiness of your site and / or increasing the number of links from relevant sites to your help your ranking and it will help Google to keep their loyal visitors.

Let us also recall the purpose of this article. This is not an article on black hat search engine optimization tactics, it is about the hidden aspects of SEO that is often overlooked. And so, without further ado, let's get down to the meat - what is the dark tactics that you can use to increase your site's ranking.

Building A Sticky Site

One point that I have done in previous articles that I will reinforce this as opposed to "conflicts" will be that the importance of a sticky site. Certainly, monitoring your statistics to assess the visitors' behaviour is an important method of conversions on your site, but it is important from a search engine optimization perspective is often overlooked. I have mentioned before, and I will mention again, the search engines have the ability to monitor the length of time a visitor spends between visits to the engine. If you're on Google, type in "seo services" in the Beanstalk and visit the site but only spend 5 seconds there before clicking the back button Google can conclude that the place was not what you're looking for. If it were 5 or 10 minutes prior to returning back to Google they could thus conclude that you found the content you have found useful in your search.

So let us put it more obvious, with a website where visitors can find what they're looking for quickly, easily and in a visually appealing way will increase his time on your site, which will thus increase the adoption of search engines you are relevant to the phrase user have asked. This will strengthen your site really belongs among the largest site. As a disclaimer: this works on a large scale so that they are not going to run away and clicking through to your competitors and quickly pressing the back button. First, it is unethical (such as clicking their paid links), and second, it does not work like that (how big hole, it would be in the algorithm), so it would just be a waste of your time.

On how to build a sticky site, I leave for designers (as a SEO - my expertise lies more in understanding the mathematical formula).

Clickability Counts

The engines that know when your site is displayed in a number of search results and the additional know how often your site clicks on when it was shown. The more often your site is selected, when presented in a set of results all the more relevant, it is assumed to be, and thus are more entrenched, it will be in the range of results (assuming your stickiness issues are addressed).

This means that your title and description question, not only as a part of the traditional search engine optimization tactics we have used them since the 90s but also to draw visitors to your site. Fortunately, the end goal for engines that fits your own ultimate aim should be for your site - maximize traffic. Let us look at two examples of titles that Beanstalk site could have:

An old-school over-optimized title: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Services Company | Beanstalk search engine | SEO, Internet Marketing, Link Building, Consulting, Education & Copywriting

Our current title: Expert SEO Services by Beanstalk

Can you see it differently? While our title changes regularly as we experiment with new titles of CTR, we always keep it short, easy to read, and always such that the whole of the title appears in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). Our CTR are much higher with shorter titles than longer, and we have seen the same results with the client sites.

The same goes for your description tag, but they are a little different. With your description tag you want to make sure to include your targeted keywords and make the copy compelling to an applicant. The reason for this is that when searched keywords are including in your description, is usually the description that appears in the SERPs. This allows you to decide how the ad world to appear. You write your book, you write your description - to write both good and your CTR will increase. And when your CTR go up implicit relevance of the engines will adopt your site is that this phrase will increase by it and thus so will your ranking for that phrase.

Getting people to link to you

We will not be able to discuss the mutual relationship building, directory submissions, or other usual suspects. There are countless articles out there with them; what we will focus on this tactic is to get items to be picked up sharply the resources you want to get them in (and if you're reading this - you know it works) and ways to have links to both search engines and you'll love the most - the ones you do not ask for or work outside of creating a great site with useful content. The best part of these links is that they not only work to increase your link popularity, but they also tend to run high traffic to your site. Let us start with the articles.

When you work for publishing an article that there are two main target group members: readers and, more importantly, the editors (I say all, because they are the ones who will determine if you have any readers at all). There are some tactics to increase both:

1. Write an exciting title. This may come back to what I did in the first paragraph. Everyone is interested in the black hat search engine optimization, even those of us who do not practice it. Readers will be drawn to what it receives relatively low coverage, and editors like to publish something that they believe may draw some controversy. Although this article does not get into the black hat tactics that some editors might have hoped, it will pull them and get their attention.
2. Finding quality related resources and get the article published there. In general, use a tool that PR Prowler to find good-quality resources to submit articles to. You can do it manually using a search engine, the PR Prowler only speeds up the process so much that after its first use it paid for itself. You want to see the places you send, be related to your industry and you want them to provide a link back. If you can setup the link anchor text instead of your URL - the better.
3. Keep a list and add to it. If you intend to publish several articles are not starting from scratch each time. Keep a list and try to add a few places that with each submission. This will keep the list grows and you get more exposure links with time.
4. Have a good relationship with the editors. They are the end-all be-all of this tactic will work or not as a link and traffic building tactics. Make sure you are polite and not write nasty e-mails if you get a reduction. Read what they say and make sure to take this into account in future articles.

But if you do not want to establish contacts with the articles, what if you want to have links to old-fashioned way (and I talk about the old old old way - you know, before there was any SEO value to it). What happens if you want to get people to link to you just because they like the content (I know, shocking but it actually happens!) There are some different factors that must be considered to achieve this. Here are some important rules to follow:

1. You have to create content that others want to link. This is an art in and of itself. I wrote about some of the basic rules of work on this in a previous article "Building Link Bait" so I will not repeat it here.
2. Get the bait to social bookmarking sites. This will get people interested in your topic aware of it. If it is good, they can link to it. Do not just focus on Digg and other oil companies, look around for some sector bookmarking sites. For example, when the article is finished, I will work to get it in Sphinn, a SEO bookmarking site.
3. Get the bait in forums and / or blogs. I'm not talking about the blog sp @ mming here, I talk about to find blogs and forums that are related to your subject and that visitors can actually helped the tools, information, etc. that you specify. Do not worry about the blog has rel = "nofollow" on the links. The aim is webmaster of awareness, not to have links from blogs (I'll leave it to another article).
4. Promoting the bait on your site. Use banners, links to your blog, etc. to create awareness.
5. Enter the code to link to your bait. The easier you make it for people to link to you, the more of them. Enter the code with a text and banner options and you will increase the number of people will link to you.
6. Put out a press release. If there is sufficient novelty, put out a press release. If the media grabs that you have won the lottery, both in advertising and in highly valued links.
7. If the substance in your bait is searched for engines, ranking. :)
