Using SEO to Increase Traffic

Posted: January 28, 2011 in Uncategorized

Entrepreneurs who have online businesses are always seeking ways to gain more traffic so that they can make more sales. Certain search engines have more than two hundred algorithm variables. There are people who are experts at using seo to increase traffic and any serious business person should find these experts to do this for them.

Even small home based businesses can benefit from the use of seo tools to increase sales. One powerful tool is keyword research. This tool allows people to know what words website visitors will be searching for when they are looking for information. This means that it is wise to use any of the keyword research tools that are available on the Internet.

The simplest and fastest way to gain traffic is to supply continuous and quality content to the website. Search engines love fresh quality content and are more likely to rank these websites highly on the search engines. When writing it is important to use the keywords wisely. When working on content for a website, anything between five to twenty keywords will suffice for the entire website. Keywords should be used in page names, the domain name and for folder names.

The search engines are mindful of keyword density in that too much is not encouraged. Each page should have no more than three to five percent keyword density. Place keywords on every page so that the ranking is higher and more visitors will come across the website.

Search engine experts suggest that keywords should be in italic tags and the headings should be bold. This alerts the search engines and visitors to the importance of the website. Naming the images is another strategy that is recommended by the experts. File names should also contain keywords.

Linking should be done intelligently. Use keywords when linking one page to another. Single words are not as effective as keyword phrases.

By giving away free stuff, you allow people to spread the word and this gets more people to see your site. By doing this you increase the probability of making sales. The free stuff can be in the form of free information, software, discounts or other industry related gifts. All of these strategies combine well for the purposes of using seo to increase traffic.Entrepreneurs who have online businesses are always seeking ways to gain more traffic so that they can make more sales.

Many people today are looking for ways in which to make money online. People either have a job and want extra income or they have no income and they need to make money fast. In today’s economic climate it is strongly suggested that people who have work should find themselves and additional income stream so that they have some kind of insurance or buffer should they ever lose their job in the future. Another reason is that most people today who do not have jobs cannot pay all their bills anyway so the extra money will come in handy. A lot of people today fancy the idea of earning income online and especially the ability to earn income online without having to work. The good news is that this is very possible and all people have to do is to find out How to use article marketing to make money with affiliate marketing.

Marketing in this way is probably one of the simplest sustainable ways that you can make money. Many people reading this statement might think that this is the most absurd comment ever made, however it is true. Research on this subject will show that it appears to be a rather complicated process to get going in the wonderful world of affiliate marketing. Reports will suggest that you will have to learn to build websites, become an expert in the products that you are using and then learn every website promotion technique in the book. Frankly speaking it sounds like way too much work and more than likely many people will be non starters. This does not help them or the affiliate companies that are looking for people to market their products. You would think that someone would have worked out a strategy to simplify the process of earning money online.

The system that will be discussed here is best suited to someone who has a job and is able to invest some money into building an online income stream. This method is so good that you do not even need a website, any experience and you do not even have to know a thing about what ever product you are selling. You must be thinking I am absolutely nuts, well if you follow what I suggest here you will be making money. My friend sells the very same products and he grossed $ 15 000 last month. If he can do it then so can you.

Step one is to become an affiliate for a company that sells minerals. To do this simply join here.   This company markets the top minerals money can buy, the pay 35% commission and they pay once a month via paypal. That is all you need to know. The sign up process takes less than five minutes and you will be sent log in details. When you have these details simply sign in, go to the affiliate section and retrieve your URL. You now have something to sell. The next step is to read through the site and see what minerals you need to take and then order some for you to take.

Now you need to contact us so that we can promote your URL for you and you can start to put some money in your pocket. We will write a series of quality articles about the importance of minerals and then link these to your URL. This will be done by us submitting the articles to article submission websites were we are rated as expert authors. Not anyone can write that that well to be called an expert author, so this means you get to ride on our backs so to speak. Once the article has been submitted to the directory you can have as many as thirty million viewers per month going to the submission site and a chunk of those will read the article which will then direct them to your URL and some of these people will buy your products. All of this happens without you having to do any work yourself. Now does this system not sound much easier than what you have possibly come across when you have been researching How to use article marketing to make money with affiliate marketing?

 

Website owners are experts in their field and many of them have a good grasp of the English language so this should give them the confidence to write their own content so why should webmasters not write their own this content? Well there are a number of reasons for this. If a Webmaster is selling a variety of different affiliate programs he is selling something that someone else has developed. An example of this would be someone who is selling minerals online, the Webmaster would not go and get involved in the manufacturing of the products; he would trust professionals to do the job of manufacturing the product.

 

The point that is being made here is that in order for successful sales to be made, people need to focus on their areas of expertise. In the example of selling minerals one would assumes that the affiliate has studied minerals somewhat so that he or she has a good understanding of the products. It might be the case that the affiliate might spend a large degree of time selling the product offline. It is possible that he owns a health store and much of his time is spent in the shop selling.

 

The affiliate after a hard day’s work must now go home and write some content so that website sales are made as well. More often than not he will be too tired to do it so one of two things happen, one he does not write the articles or two he writes them and they are not of reasonable quality. For sales to be made online there needs to be a continuous flow of quality content posted on the site. If Webmasters are not doing this they may as well not have a website.

 

No matter what the product is, we have the expertise to use the right words to make your clients do what it is that you want them to do. Our services include assessing the strong selling points of your products or services and then using words to marry up your solutions to the needs of the clients. As Robert Kiyosaki says, “ educate them and they will buy”. We use this strategy to educate your market and ensure that your market understands why they need your product.

 

It is very easy to pick up on a website when the content has not been written by a professional. There will often be spelling mistakes; grammatical errors and sentences will not make sense. Very often sentences will be incomplete. As copywriters we do much research on the Internet and sad to say for the most part much of what we have researched appears to have been done on DIY basis. Some of the content we have come across has actually surprised us that it was even found on the search engines as the content has been put together so poorly.

 

For organic traffic to become a reality it is crucial that the content is interesting and informative. Many of the large search engines are tightening up with regards to ranking websites. Websites with poor content are not going to receive high rankings. Poor content does not only apply to correct English it applies to how informative the article is. Visitors are going come across your site because they are looking for a solution to a problem. We will make sure that the solution is clearly defined in the content that we write for you.

Great News

Posted: September 25, 2010 in congrats, Newsletter September

Hi All

This morning we received an exciting email from the agency for which we work.

Lizette was chosen as one of 10 A-list writers out of a group of more than 1,200 writers! This is a great honor and privilege, along with great prospects. She will have more work to do now, which means that we are looking for the serious guys in the team to rise to the top.

“I am very excited about this news! It goes to show that when we work hard, we are rewarded. When I started writing, I earned exactly what my writers do now – it was a slog, but I stuck it out. It is all about volume – doing as much as you can. I can say with 100% conviction that writing is all about commitment. When you invest time and energy into your writing, you will earn your just rewards. This is the third goal I have set career-wise and I have achieved it now. The first was receiving a bursary, the second was becoming an agent and the A-list was my third. Currently, I am working on another 2 goals, one of which is my first novel. Don’t expect to see that too soon, as the dedication is not yet there!”

– Lizette about her promotion.

If you are an aspirant writer looking to earn some money doing what you love, get going now. Build up the experience you need to cash in on the lucrative industry of copy-writing.

No speak no Bulgarian

Posted: September 23, 2010 in Bulgarian, guidelines, language, tips

If your system tells you that Bulgarian is not available, try using the Style drop down under the “file” button on Word, to select apple-style-span. This has to be done every time.

Please do a spelling and grammar check in Word before sending your article through. Ensure that your system is set to American or USA English. The diagram shows you how to do that.

Common mistakes everyone makes

Posted: September 23, 2010 in common mistakes, tips

“people get paid”

Paid is not a noun. You can only “get” a noun. You ARE paid. She IS paid.

“he got tired”

He BECAME tired. She WAS tired.

Generalizations and opinions are not allowed: EVERYONE does not necessarily like blue curtains. Most people might like blue curtains, but not everyone. Just like not ALL men are the same (sorry girls, had to be politically correct even if we don’t agree 😉 )

While we understand that it may sometimes be difficult to make a word count, there are some words that are used as fillers that make your writing look bad. People sometimes use profanities and it is said that they have a bad command of their language – these words have the same effect:

about – rather use approximately, estimated, nearly
just – rather use only, a mere
very – highly, seriously

If all else fails, do a synonym check in Word. Type the word on a sheet, right click, click on synonyms. See diagram:
