Ultimate Backlink Builder

If you've been doing SEO and blog promotion for any length of time, you most likely are spending a good deal of time building backlinks. There are all sorts of backlinks, both good and bad. Some provide lots of "link juice" to your sites while others don't carry any weight at all. Some links can take an hour to create, especially if you have to read an article or two before you can post an insightful, relevant comment or blog post. Then you have to come back a week later just to add a link to your forum signature. I've located a ...

Products Blogs – Start Selling Products Online

Selling Products On Your Blog Although there are many great ways to monetize your blog and earn a nice monthly income with it, for me, nothing else compares to selling products online. The types of products that can be sold online vary greatly and the possibilities are endless, but selling digital downloadable products is the perfect choice for the majority of us. Remember that most people want to get their purchases immediately after they make the purchase (we live in an "instant gratification" society, after all) and so being able to deliver your product as an instant download right after the ...

This free service offered by Google allows you to easily track your website traffic and provides you with information to help you run your website better.

Micro Niche Finder

As a result of my last post regarding Keyword Research and Analysis, I have received quite a few requests to talk about the Micro Niche Finder software that I use for finding those wonderful "long tailed keywords" that we are always on the lookout for. If you are not already familiar with long-tailed-keywords, those are the highly focused keyword phrases (usually three or more words) that people are searching for on Google, Bing, and Yahoo when looking to find information or to make a purchase. My previous post was primarily geared towards newcomers to blogging and Internet marketing in general, ...

Keyword Research And Analysis

The question I get asked most often is "How do I find a good keyword phrase to use?" How To Find Good Keywords Finding great keywords is not a difficult task, but it does take some time and effort. Fortunately there are a wide variety of keyword research and analysis tools available to us to take most of the guesswork out of the process. I ...

Blogging For Fun Or Profit

Before you set up your new blog, it is important to decide whether you are going to blog for fun or for profit. Although you can certainly do both with most any blog, if you are just blogging for fun and to share your hobbies and interests with the world, then you can take a very casual approach to your blog. You won't have to concern yourself with creating interesting content on a regular basis, or put in the added efforts of optimizing your site for the search engines, or even worry about pinging, back-linking, and other promotional activities. You ...

Commission Junction PRODO Plugin

I recently purchased a cool little WP plug-in that lets you integrate products from your CJ (Commission Junction) advertisers directly into your blogs. The plug-in is called PRODO and I have to admit that it works incredibly well. It took less than 15 minutes to install and configure the plug-in into my new blog and then I was immediately able to search for products from one of the CJ advertisers that I promote and automatically add those products as blog posts. I tested the blog layout with about 40 different themes before finally settling on the Magazine Basic theme by ...

Choose Your Domain Name Wisely

One of the most important decisions that you will ever make is choosing the domain name for your website or blog. Your domain name not only gives web surfers a clue as to what your site is about, but it also gives the search engines the information that it needs to index your site properly. Although the Dot COM revolution is long since passed, there are still a wide variety of options available to us as Internet marketers when it comes to finding a great domain name. The most popular TLD (top level domain) is obviously the DOT COM domain name ...

PLR Content

I get a lot of questions about using PLR (Private Label Rights) content on a blog. For those of you that aren't familiar with PLR, this is pre-written content that you can purchase and get complete rights to it, meaning that you can even add your own name to it as if you were the original author. There is a great deal of PLR content available online and on every topic imaginable, especially topics related to Internet marketing and blogging. There are pros and cons to using this PLR material, so lets talk a little bit about that. On the pro ...

Getting Free Internet Traffic

Free Internet Traffic Helps You Make Money Blogging If you're like me, you love getting free Internet traffic to your websites. There are a few ways to accomplish this, but my favorite method is with free search engine traffic from Google, Bing, and Yahoo!. You should know, however, that the bulk of the free search engine traffic will ultimately go to the top few websites listed on the search engine results pages (SERPs) for the keywords the searcher typed into the search box. For that reason, we must always be conscious of the keywords that we (as marketers) choose to target ...
