High PR, Page Rank Links Aren't All They Seem

One of the ways to get high PR, or Page Rank backlinks that many of us are familiar with is blog commenting. Blogs that don’t use the “no-follow” tag can 'pass on' some of their Page Rank to their links when you comment on them. It is often taught as an “easy” way to get high-value backlinks for SEO purposes.

In fact, you can get software just for that purpose. For example, Comment Kahuna is very popular, and very good at finding high-PR blogs.

However, most blogs with high PR have that Pagerank on their main index or home page. Sub pages will generally have much lower pagerank.

When you post a comment on a blog, chances are your comments aren’t appearing on the home page where that post is. And even if it is, it will likely “roll off” the home page long before you get any of the pagerank benefit of that home page.

Commenting, or blog posting is a great for getting links, and is a central part of my own strategy. Also, the net value that’s passed on from a high-pr blog will always be higher than that of a lower pagerank blog.

That being said, the fact is that that when you comment on a post that’s on the home page of a PR4 blog for instance, you aren’t getting the same ‘value’ that you would for that same link on a static PR4 page, and in fact might not be getting much value at all.

Blog commenting should be used as one component of your linking & traffic strategy. Just be aware that you may not be getting as much value as you might have thought.

Taking Advantage of "Topical" Niches

We all know about the "usual" niches - things link "weight loss", "dating", etc. But there are zillions of 'topical' niches that can do as well as any top niche, usually with much less competition.

I have a number of niche blogs and sites, monetized with Adsense, to take advantage of traditional niches:

Nursing School Programs - nursing schools, jobs, careers.

Hypnosis-X.info - everything you wanted to know about hypnosis.

Complete Home School Guide - about homeschooling and homeschoolers.

Fix Credit Repair - fixing your credit rating, repairing your credit score.

My point is simply this: Don't limit your Internet Marketing efforts to traditional niches. There's a LOT of money to be made outside of the "usual suspects"!

But I've also begun exploring topical niches: news events, trends, etc.

The Presidential Zone is a new blog I put up to take advantage of the traffic generated from interest in the 2008 U.S. presidential race:

PresidentialZone - a new political blog on the 2008 US Presidential race.

High gas prices is another topical niche with tons of traffic:

Gas For Less Money - blogging on gas savings, mileage improvements.

The 2008 ULTIMATE Gas Savers Guide - improve gas mileage, gas saving devices, more.

What Is Search Engine Marketing?

"SEM", or Search engine marketing, is a type of marketing that focuses on generating a high ranking on the Internet search engine results pages ("SERPs") of the major search engines. Search engine marketing – also known simply as "search marketing" – includes search engine optimization (SEO) on the one hand, and various kinds of paid search engine marketing including "pay-per-click", "paid inclusion" and "paid placement" on the other.

A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help users find information stored on the Internet. Essentially, search engines were built to help minimize the amount of time required to locate information. Nowadays, they are the main tool used by Internet users to find the information they want. Consequently, search engines are a major source of web traffic for many websites. Moreover, because search engine users tend not to look beyond the first few pages of results, the higher the ranking achieved by your website, the more search engine traffic it is likely to receive.

Search engine optimization is the process of increasing your search engine ranking for specific keywords. In other words, if you know that many of your prospective customers tend to search for your products and services using particular keywords, you want your site to be highly ranked in the SERPs for those keywords. In general, to achieve a high ranking, you need your website to be perceived by the search engines as being highly "relevant" for those keywords. Although the algorithms used by search engines are a carefully guarded secret, it is generally believed that this involves designing your website in a certain way, as well as attracting "back links" from other relevant ("authority") sites.

While achieving a high ranking in the SERPs via search engine optimization can take time and effort, it doesn't take much time to get a high ranking in the paid listings… if you're willing to pay! Essentially, you can have your site or ad appear high on the paid listings in return for a fee. Pay-per-click advertising, for example, is where the search engines display a short ad for your website on the right-hand side of the SERPs in return for a fee. The amount of this fee will depend on how popular are the keywords you're targeting. Fees can range from $0.05, to $5 to $50 per click!

Paid inclusion programs are programs where, in exchange for a fee, a search engine will guarantee the inclusion of your website listing. The downside of these programs is that they cannot guarantee that the pages will rank high for certain keyword searches. This is in contrast to paid placement programs, which do guarantee top listings if you pay a high enough fee. Paid placement can be particularly expensive. Both paid placement and paid inclusion typically involve a flat fee.

While there is a cost involved in either search engine optimization or paid search, both can be very cost effective compared to other means of advertising and marketing. It is generally wise for anyone with a website to consider pursuing some form of search engine marketing.

Website Flipping

Website flipping - creating websites specifically to sell - has become very popular.

As pointed out on Improve Your Internet Marketing, flipping a web site is not necessarily the same as buying/selling a business.

For one thing, with a business, your main concern is, well, the business. With flipping, everything is done and revolves around the end objective of selling the site.

While it's possible to sell a 'brand new' site, generally speaking you want to get as much traffic and/or revenue as you can before listing it for sale.

Holding the site for even a few months while creating traffic or sales can result in a selling far higher than it might be otherwise.

Selling prices that are multiples of revenue are common, and a multiple of 6-12 times revenue is not at all unreasonable.

Guaranteed Traffic Formula

Traffic is the lifeblood of Internet marketing, ecommerce, and all online business.

There are many ways to generate traffic, from Pay per Click (ppc), to Free-for-All sites (FFA's). But one of the most popular methods being used today is Article Marketing.

Article marketing is done by submitting articles to article directories. The articles contain backlinks to your site by way of a "resource box". Someone reads the article, and hopefully clicks through to your site.

One of the best things about Article Marketing is that it is free (it is often referred to as "bum marketing", though this term encompasses much more).

There is a great article on generating traffic at the Improve Your Internet Marketing, the in-house blog of Analogy Marketing.

Follow their 'guaranteed' formula, and you can generate as much traffic to your sites as you like!

After many years online, after many failures and some successes, I have refined my “formula” for generating traffic. It revolves around article marketing, works, it’s repeatable, and it’s sustainable.

I posted a complete step-by-step "formula" to my blog at Analogy Marketing. Read it. Memorize it. Act on it. Live it!

The Truth about Hype and Internet Marketing

To be successful in Internet marketing, you have to have high-quality advertising. This means you have to present your product in the best light. However there is a difference between putting your best foot forward and hyping your product to the moon. In this article I will discuss how to use hype appropriately to positively help your sales argument. I will show you what to avoid when using hype so you don't get high refunds or tell flat-out lies which can get you in trouble with the law. After reading this article, you should be able to identify what is okay to write your advertisement and what will get you higher sales, and what you should avoid.

In order to sell something, your advertisement has to be believable. Too much hype means very little believability. If people believe your message, they will perceive you as an credible. If they don't, they will think you're con man. Hype doesn't sell products. Learning how to color your product or service and favorable lights, while still being believable, is what sells products.

Hype does have its place in advertising on the Internet, especially in certain markets. Some markets are so saturated that people won't respond to your message, unless you make it outrageous. This doesn't mean you make outrageous claims. This just means you put an interesting spin on your advertising. For example, a one legged golfer who can hit a drive 250 yards is more interesting than a two legged golfer who can hit a drive 300 yards when you're selling a golf instruction video. It's outrageous, and it probably has nothing to do with the product, but it's effective at getting attention. And if your ads don't get attention, they don't get read and you lose sales.

Techniques like these don't work on markets who have been over exposed to them. After awhile, these markets will become immune to tactics that they know are often manufactured to create urgency or interest. Use these wisely, and always know the state of awareness of your marketplace. What works well in one market will fail in another.

How to Use Google AdWords Keyword Tool in a Way to Get You Hot Keywords By Michael Ullman

While the google adwords keyword tool isn't technically free, it only costs $5, which you get as credit to spend on adwords. This will be the best investment you will make for keyword tools. Think about it. Google is the biggest company in the whole world created for giving data to people who are buying keywords. Google wants to give you the most effective real-time keywords so you will continue to use their services. Why would you want to neglect this resource?Here's how you get the most out of it. First, login to your adwords account, click tools, and then select keyword tool. Search for a broad term in the niche you want to research, and then select "use synonyms" and perform your research.The Google adwords keyword tool will return a list of keywords that have been proven to be relevant by Google standards. Now, take these terms, and put them into the search engine. Take the top 10 websites those terms deliver, then go back to Google adwords keyword tool, click on the site related keywords tab, and enter those 10 sites to get even more keywords.Now, use synonyms for each of these searches and add those keywords to your list. Continue this process over and over again until you get as many keywords as you think are necessary. Now you have a list of keywords that you can use with any other keyword research tools such as Word tracker, keyword analyzer, SEO Elite, and so on to scrape for long tail keyword searches. If you still need more words, you can take the list you returned from the other keyword tools, and then bring them into the Google adwords keyword research tool. You can also use the Google traffic estimator as a guide to see which terms have the highest searches.In conclusion, if you're not using the Google adwords tool as I have described above, you're missing out on some very important keywords.Michael Ullman is President of Analogy Marketing, a leading NY-based Internet Marketing firm, and a Google Certified Professional.

Keyword Research - A Secret Trick Most People Don't Know By Michael Ullman

If you're going to enter into any niche, you should start broad, then go narrow. This ensures you won't miss important keywords. For example, let's say you were going to do keyword research for dieting tips. To start broad, we'd want to research a term like diet. We are not looking for just keywords with diet in them however, because search engines like Google also analyze relevancy by latent semantic indexing (LSI). What LSI means is that search engines check for similar terms related to diet to determine how relevant the content website is.To take advantage of LSI properly, do a Google search for diet, but put a tilde (~) in front of the term, so search would look like this: ~diet. Google will return related words in bold such as weight loss, recipes, wheat, meal, eating and foods. Notice the difference from these words and words you'd find in a thesaurus. If you're doing keyword research properly, your best to use terms that search engines tell you are relevant, and not what a thesaurus suggests.You can then take each of these terms, and do another tilde search, and write down more related words that pop up. By going through broader words into more specific words, you'll be sure not to miss any words related to your keyword, and also have a list of an exact vocabulary to use in your pages to ensure Google will evaluate your content as being highly relevant.In conclusion, the strategy I have given you something you should use every time you're going to do keyword research for a new niche. While this is not the only strategy you should employ, it is the best one to use for getting a list of terms to look at and consider as traffic sources. The next logical step would be to determine how many users are searching for each of those terms, and then locating ones with high searches so you can optimize for not just the keyword, but related keywords that the search engines also place value upon.Michael Ullman is President of Analogy Marketing, a leading NY-based Internet Marketing firm, and a Google Certified Professional.

How To Increase Opt Ins To Build Bigger Lists By Michael Ullman

If you've been involved with Internet marketing for more than 10 minutes, you've probably heard that "the money is in the list". That is true. If you can build an e-mail list of people who are interested in what you have to offer, you can communicate with them over and over again and continually sell them on the benefits of your products. The result: a lot more sales. In this article I will show you how to build your list with the most powerful list building technique I've ever come across. It involves giving perceived value, and there are three ways to do it. By reading this article, you can use one or all three strategies described and watch your list grow faster than is ever grown.A lot of people use e-books as their main product. Really smart marketers use e-books as incentives to get people to subscribe to the list. Then, once somebody subscribes to the list they have other products that they sell to them. In other words, they give away something that most other people sell. E-books are probably the most often used incentive for enticing people to sign up for lists. That is because e-books are pretty much free to create, or can be outsourced at a very low cost. It's a fair exchange: you want to communicate with them to buy your products, and they want the information in your e-book. This is what was building is all about.In some markets, e-books don't have as high a perceived value as in other markets. A way to get around that is to take your service, and brainstorm a way to offer a free trial for it. It might be a simple as giving them seven days to evaluate your e-book before they need a password to continue looking at. Other ways you can use free trials are to give the first month away of a membership site for free, or creating a trial version of a software to use. Have them sign up to try your trial version, and then continually market to them on upgrading it.Speaking of software, sometimes creating software that is complementary to your product is a great way to build your list fast. For example if you're selling a book on how to market using youtube, you can create a free piece of software to give away that automates adding comments to other peoples videos. Don't know how to create software? There are plenty people on the Internet who will create it for you for very low price. Just do a little digging around to be surprised at how cheap you can get software created for you. Sites such as Rentacoder and Elance that allow you to create inexpensive but professional products.There are many additional, free resources for tips & tricks to leverage these strategies, such as Improve Your Internet Marketing.In conclusion, the best way to the lists is to give them something of high perceived value that they would normally have to pay for to get. If you're willing to take the initial time up front to create this product and give it away, you will reap the rewards by getting high sign-up rates. Then do some simple e-mail marketing to them, and since you have a bigger lists, you also get bigger profits.Michael Ullman is President of Analogy Marketing, a leading NY-based Internet Marketing firm, and a Google Certified Professional.

How To Brand Yourself An Internet MarketingBy Michael Ullman

There are two kinds of branding -- profitable and unprofitable. I'm profitable branding usually involves being entertaining at the sake of diluting the message. This branding often occurs because people are too afraid to ask for the sale, so they take the easy way out: they entertain you and make you laugh, and at the end they slip in a little blurb about the product they are selling.Profitable branding means creating a brand that people will instantly link to your product in a positive way. For example, if you're branded as a no-nonsense kind of person, and you're selling a product, other no-nonsense kind of people who are interested in that product will be more attracted to your message than someone else's. Or, if you're branded as being first in the marketplace in something, you instantly will be perceived as being better simply because you're first..... [read more]

Quickies: 50 Tips on Getting More Traffic to Your Site!
