No Getting Traffic to Your Website with More Search Engine Submissions
Posted by: | CommentsThis is actually a collection of myths regarding search engine submissions. Among them you’ll see talk of submitting to 15,000 search engines, 20,000, or any number of additional search engines. Let’s clear up a few things.
First, you don’t really NEED to submit to any search engines to wind up on their indices. Of course, you’ll most likely be there faster if you do. You’ll be working on your schedule, not theirs. This also gets around another problem. The thing about waiting for the search engines to find you is that they have to find you by an inbound link. In many cases, getting an inbound link involves being on the search engine indices anyway.
Web 2.0 Marketing—Free Inbound Links and Traffic
There are, of course, exceptions to this. If you’re familiar with Web 2.0 marketing, you know that you don’t have to wait for inbound links. You can build them yourself in certain social media properties. In this case, the search engines will find you without you submitting the site to the search engines. So will your targeted traffic.
Which Search Engines Actually Matter
Now, about this talk of submitting to 15,000 or 20,000 or a million search engines. There are only three search engines that really matter to the average user. These are Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Although Yahoo is losing its importance to the Read More→
If it’s “All-Important,” it’s a Myth in Affiliate Marketing
Posted by: | CommentsPerhaps the biggest myth in affiliate marketing is the idea that any one aspect of it is “all-important.” It’s all important. It is an organic process. The whole enchilada, in all of its aspects, is the key to success.
By comparison, what do you think is the most important organ in the human body? Is it the heart? Is it the brain? The liver? The kidneys? The fact of the matter is that all of your organs are there for a reason. Without any one of them, there’s a good chance that you would be dead.
Your Entire Marketing Strategy is Important
The same is true of your marketing strategy. There is no one aspect of it that can stand alone and give you success. Anyone who says so is a flat-out liar.
According to Google, “Content is king.” However, without a high page ranking, your content will never be seen. Content by itself will not get you a high SERP rank. If people don’t see what you’re saying, they naturally won’t Read More→
Updating Content for Getting Traffic to Your Website
Posted by: | CommentsKeeping your ranking on the search engines and getting traffic to your website depend largely on regularly updating your content. Search engines love a dynamic website, and in the words of Google, “Content is king.” How to keep fresh content on your site depends largely on what your site is meant for.
How to Keep Affiliate Websites on the Cutting Edge
Affiliate websites are some of the most difficult websites to update. They usually amount to only having a page or two, and the content is pretty well set from the word “go.” What you’re left with is tweaking different elements to stir things up.
Chances are that you worked hard to create the perfect pitch, and you don’t want to mess with that. So, let’s look at the other elements on your page. Do you have a video on your page? If not, put one up. If so, put up a different one or at least change the tag. The anchor text leading to your opt-in page can usually be changed pretty readily. You can put up new testimonials or change old ones out (quite a substantial change in the copy!), have an editable countdown for empty seats, and so on. The point is to change enough stuff on the page that the search engines notice. Then, ping it!
News Sites are Easy to Keep Up-to-Date
Among the easiest (and most essential) websites to regularly update content on are news sites. If you’re doing news on a particular niche, the easiest thing to do is Read More→
