Essential Link Building

It's vitally important that you increase the number of websites that link to your website. Doing this helps you steadily increase traffic and generate more sales. However, if you are to be successful, you must be sure that your website is good enough for someone to link to you.

So, how do you do that?

There is an old cliche that always rings true in the Internet world - "Content is king". And this is absolutely spot on.

You may be wondering how your content is related to our current topic of building link building, but there is a perfectly sound connection...

It is important that you have quality content on your website or other webmasters will most likely not want to trade links. Your website also needs to be informative and interesting, as this will increase the chance of getting a link from someone else.

Remember, links to your website are the building blocks to success, so it's worth the effort to acquire them.

Now, let's go over a small checklist of websites that would be good candidates for good link building:

* Websites with quality, related content.

* Websites that have higher PageRank than you currently have.

* Online directories like Yahoo and other business directories.

* Web 2.0 websites like Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com.

It's no secret that Google (and other search engines) will list you higher in the search results for having a lot of quality inbound links. So, you should really concentrate on building quality links, which will do more for you than tinkering with Alt tags or any other onsite optimization.

The only downside is that building link popularity is not always easy to do. It tends to be a bit boring and tedious. Plus, it usually takes a big chunk of your time, which is probably why most people don't like to do it.

Luckily for you, there is a solution!

A brand new search engine optimization tool just came out called SEO Equalizer. Not only is this software super easy to use, but it is also extremely affordable. I do suggest you pop over to the website and read all about it...

How To Increase Your Traffic And Keep It Coming Forever

In order for a business or website to turn a profit it must have a steady flow of targeted prospects. So, for the sake of simplicity one can assume that the first order of business would be generating traffic. The "How and Where" is what this article will deal with.

Assuming you've got your website in place and a quality product to sell. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to the nitty gritty of Traffic Generation.


1) Invest in Google’s Adwords and Yahoo’s PPC Ads!

There may be some reluctance to spend money for traffic generation. This kind of traffic is very targeted. People that click your ads are interested in what you have and will generally buy. It will be well worth your while to invest in this type of advertising. To not do so would be like shooting yourself in the foot.

With a well written ad your traffic will increase as well as your sales. Ultimately that is your goal, is it not?

2) Exchange or Trade Links with other sites.

Exchanging links with other relevant sites is a very good way to benefit from the traffic of those websites. It will also make the search engines take notice of your site. Being a great form of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The more sites you have with a link pointing back to yours causes your site's importance to increase.

This can be a time consuming and frustrating undertaking. You can spend many long hours searching and contacting relevant site owners getting very little response. Don't be discouraged. Just set aside a certain amount of time for this activity every day. You'll eventually achieve the desired results. Remember, this is not a race.


3) Viral Marketing

Giving away something of value at your site which contains your website name and address is a great way to get the word out about your company. Giving the person you gave it to the right to give it away to his or her visitors as well. By providing them with a way to rebrand the ebook or software with their web address and name. Your information will always remain but the new owners will also be able to benefit from it. You'll be amazed at how many copy's get distributed. Especially if the item is of help and has significant value.


4) Proper keywords or keyword phrases for your sites content.

If your site doesn't utilize the proper keywords or phrases the search engines won't know how or where to categorize your site. The importance of your site will be determined by the keywords your optimized for as well as relevant backlinks. Take the time to tweak your sites content making sure that your utilizing the proper keywords and phrases.
This will assist you in ranking high in search engine results.


5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site.

Enough cannot be said nor can it be stressed enough that "Article Writing" is the cheapest and most effective way to drive traffic to your site or your affiliate program.

Most will claim their writing skills are not good enough or that they hate to write or I just don't have the time. With the availability of PLR articles and places such as elance.com where you can hire a writer to do your writing, not having articles to distribute is not an option. PLR articles can be purchased and rewritten with your name and company as the author. They can be posted on your site and submitted to article directories with a resource box at the bottom.

The resource box contains an attention grabbing blurb about your site or affiliate site as well as the link to that particular site.

6) Join Marketing Forums

This would be another viable form of advertising. However, don't be tempted to jump out there and respond to a topic unless you know something about the topic being discussed. Just for the sake of dropping a link. You're liable to piss the moderator off and get yourself banned from the board. Hang around awhile, see if you can't contribute something that will help someone. Participate awhile before leaving your signature.

7) Lastly, Write an ezine/newsletter.

This task can also be outsourced if you're pressed for time.

Providing your subscribers with relevant, useful information that makes their daily efforts more effective helps them and you as well. A true win, win strategy.

Start implementing these strategies and you can be guaranteed a surge in traffic and sales. Just remember that you can't just read this. You have to do this. For if you do nothing, nothing is what happens.

What I’ve Learned About Naming Your Product Or Service

"What I’ve Learned About Naming Your Product Or Service — and How One Wrong Word In A Title Cost Me My First Copywriting Job"

The name you give your product or service is crucial.

My first copywriting job was at a company that went bankrupt because they called their private membership club the "Millionaire’s Circle".

Three states in the U.S. said the name WAS an income claim, in and of itself. That’s right, just having that ONE word in a product title put
the company under.

After bankrupting the company fighting 3 attorney generals, they changed the name to the "winners circle" instead of the "Millionaire’s Circle."
But that little naming mistake put the company under and caused me to lose my first copywriting job.

A lot of people wonder if I’m just a sour puss for making a big deal over the proliferation of blatant income claims. There IS a reason for it.

If you’re in UK, Australia, or Canada, I bet there are similar precedents in your country you should be aware of.

But naming goes much deeper than just not using "potty words."

Let me illustrate the vital importance of the name you choose with several of the names I’ve given products.

1. The "Cash Like Clockwork" system.

That’s a great name.

The only reason I don’t use the name more is that I really hate to use things that have too blatant of a money appeal in them.

The good things about the name are that it conveys a benefit. Your product name should usually have a benefit in it. The other good thing
is that it isn’t too generic. It implies a brand. Plus, it lends itself to a visual — a CLOCK!

So, overall, it’s a great name. I would be more comfortable with "Sales Like Clockwork" than I would "Cash." Thing is, people like names with
two letters that are the same.

Think of Coca-Cola as an example. You’ll also find a lot of celebrities with names that follow the same pattern. Marilyn Monroe, Alan Alda and
many others.

Marketing With Marlon came out #1 on our name survey. Part of the reason for that is the two use of the two M’s.

2. "The Amazing Formula"

It isn’t as good a name as "Cash Like Clockwork." And the reason I say that is there isn’t a clear benefit in it unless you add the rest of the
name "….That Sells Products Like Crazy." But now, you have a really LONG name.

The positive is that the word "Formula" still hasn’t made the rounds nearly as much as the word "System." Overall, the title has worked well.
But if I did it over, I’d try to get a benefit in the core title.

3. "Milcers"

Milcers has a problem. It’s a coined name that is hard to pronounce. Most people called it Milsers instead of MILKERS. Plus, I thought the
idea of "milk your cash cow" was obvious but implied.

To me, "Marlon’s Internet Lifestyle Club" explained the benefit. But to many others, they didn’t like the word "lifestyle."

Thing is, my style is to NOT put money directly in the title of a product. One reason is you risk Paypal feeling that you went over the line. I
don’t like my titles to seem too "bizopy" (short for "like a business opportunity").

One of the first laws of online business is:

"Protect your merchant processeing at all costs."

Without it, you don’t have a business. I’m going to rename Milcers. I’ll keep what I feel is good in the concept. But add a new angle or twist.

4. "The Marketing Diary"

The name is too generic to be honest. But I liked the word Diary. And I chose the word "marketing" over some name that more directly implied
money.

At least I should have come up with a "D"-word to use in place of "Marketing." The name would have been better.

The main problem with the name is, "What’s the benefit to the buyer?" Who cares if they buy a diary about marketing? See, there’s no
benefit.

That’s a problem.

5. "Articles By Marlon"

The title I’ve been using for my ezine is "Articles By Marlon" or "The Sell Products Like Crazy Ezine." I’m going to move to a NEW title. It’s a
secret right now, because I want to create a blog to match. The problem with the existing title is, "what’s the benefit?" Is there REALLY a
benefit to getting another article by email?

The only benefit that the article is "By Marlon" is that it isn’t "By" someone else. That doesn’t quite cut it in this age of noise.

Tips On Naming Your Products, Ezines, and Memberships

The biggest problem with names is finding a DOMAIN. It seems like most of the good, short ones are taken. I tried like crazy to find a nice,
short domain for the renaming of Milcers and got nowhere with that search.

I had the same problem with my blog. I’ll probably end of using "marlonsblog.com" or something like that. The blog isn’t up yet, so don’t go
there.

The reason short names are good is that they’re easier for people to spell. The chances people will type a long domain without a typo aren’t
good.

You may have seen the article in Inc. magazine about the guy who is registering thousands of domains that end in .cm instead of .com to get
the typo traffic.

It costs something like $600 to register a .cm name. But he made a deal directly with the country (Cameroon or something like that). Point
is, a lot of people can’t even type .com without making a mistake!

Normally, your product name should have a benefit in it. However, web sites do well with coined names. Think Google, Yahoo and others.

MSN isn’t a particularly good name.

Oh, if you wanna learn more about naming, I recommend the book "Positioning" by Trout and Ries. It’s a classic.
