In order to make your Pay Per Click campaign work you must grab the attention of your prospective business partners and customers. How do you do that? Take a look at the majority of ads on Google and if you are like me, you say, BORING! You Must write an ad that incorporates the following emotional issues…Namely, the benefits of taking action, pain avoidance, curiosity, and are they missing out on something compelling? If you fail to utilize AT LEAST two of these, your ads will be ineffective.

Let’s talk about each one of these. Benefits. Is it enough to state a simple concept like…Make Money Online? Ask yourself the question, would you respond to an ad like that? I didn’t think so. Neither would I. The statement, while a benefit, is simply too generic. How about Pain Avoidance? Is it enough to say, don’t be scammed or don’t lose your chance to make money? The answer is NO. Again, it is not specific enough. Are They Missing Out? This is similar to Pain Avoidance but you must state in an intriguing way that your prospective business associate or customer must act in order to avoid suffering the consequences of inaction. How About Curiosity? In most cases generic statement do not ilicit curiosity in most people. Why not try this instead…

Use the strategy of writing ads for a specific individual and you will have better success than writing an ad that appeals to large groups of people. If you remember this concept your ad campaigns will be much more productive. Why is this true? Would you agree that it is an individual who is reading your ad? So, wouldn’t it be prudent to write an ad that an individual would be attracted to? You see, if you try to appeal to the masses, you have to be so generic that no individual will find your ad compelling.

Let’s look at a few examples… How are these headlines? Secret of MLM Success? or Secret to Massive Lead Generation ? Here is the description- How to Recruit Prospects at the Push of a Button and Generate Endless Free leads. ” Is this ad written for an individual or for the masses? Does the ad give you the idea that there is a benefit to what is offered? Does it create curiosity? Pain Avoidance? Would you feel like you were missing out on something if you didn’t take action? For me, I think this ad meets three of the four criteria. Can you think of a way to improve these titles even more?

What are the two most effective words to use in pay per click ads or ads for lead generation? Or for that matter, any advertisements? The word “free” and the word “you” head the list. If you can speak to the person directly, you hit an emotional cord more quickly and have a better chance for that person to take action. Look at the title of this article? Did the title create a benefit, curiosity, pain avoidance, and give you the feeling you might be missing out? The fact that you have read this far proves that this system works. Notice that I also made sure I addressed the issue directly to you! Let’s compare the article’s title to the title I used in my first draft…

“How To Write Compelling Pay Per Click Ads to Generate Leads for Your MLM Business! ” Not bad, but for my taste, this title did not connect with me on a deep enough level. Simply changing the ad to say How YOU can write compelling PPC ads, and then adding the word Massive to the title added a great benefit and a tremendous curiosity in my mind. Play with this concept. Experiment with different titles. See how they make YOU feel. If the title grabs your attention , it probably will grab someone else as well!

Do you want to get ahead of the field in marketing your MLM and at the same time use an incredible lead generation system that utilizes these strategies to the hilt, then Click on the critical training link in the resource box below for more information.

A Successful Strategy E-mail ma rketing has emerged as an effective marketing tool today as most consumers have gained access to internet for virtually day-to-day activities. Gone are the days when snail mail used to be an effective option for business campaigns. With the increased number of online consumers, most webmasters have shifted their focus to email marketing campaign in a bid to promote their products and services among their prospective and potential customers across a targeted demography. However, with the growth of spam mails and virus threats spreading like a wild fire, the online consumers have woken up to the danger of receiving unsolicited spam mails. This, indeed, has queered the pitch for a healthy email marketing prospect. However, despite all these, e-mail marketing is still considered as one of the most deployed campaign tools today.

Let’s take a look at the possible benefits of a well-devised and properly-thought-out e-mail marketing campaign

Cost effective
E-mail marketing is decidedly the most cost effective among all kinds of solicitations. You can reach a significant number of people in a short span time and with a very little cost as well.

Easy to develop
Unlike a lot of other marketing approaches, email marketing is very easy to develop and it doesn’t take a long time to devise and strategize an email marketing campaign. For instance, preparing a contact base of prospective customers and maintaining it is not difficult. There are many reliable sources that can offer you the email address of your prospective customers.

Effective
In comparison to the other marketing campaign tools, email marketing has proved to be more effective in terms of initial response from the customers. E-mails delivered with an effective approach and organized plan have evoked positive response from the recipients.

Tips to Devise An Effective E-mail Marketing Strategy

Seducing Subject Line
It is indeed very challenging to standout among the bunch of emails your recipients get everyday. Emails with a run-of-the-mill subject line will ensure an instant rejection by the recipients whereas you stand a chance to impel the recipients to at least open your mails. Research shows that inclusion of your recipient’s name in the subject line is able to arouse the much needed curiosity in the mind of the recipient. Also, you should use different subject line for different emails.

Do Not Spam
The key to maintain healthy relationship with your customers is to ensure they are not ambushed by unsolicited mails from you every single day. Save your brand image by contacting people who are interested in your products or services. It pays to prepare a permission based list of your customers’ contacts.

Useful Content
Do not send mails merely to fulfill the monthly quota of a certain number of mails or because the time is due. Your customers can grow biased against your purposeless mails and start trashing them whenever they find them in their inbox even without reading properly. Send the mails only when you have something new tell to your customers such as the introduction of new product, offering them a big discount and so forth.

The effectiveness of an internet marketing campaign can be summed up in three words: search engine ranking. The higher your website’s position is in search engine results, the more popular it is. Popularity means two things — increase in revenues and greater traffic. To bring these good fortunes into your website, you need to pinpoint the keywords that bring customers and potential new clients to your website.

See these examples: “Snag PGA-standard Golf Shoes at Half Price Now!” vs. “Avail of Golf Footwear like the ones used by Players in the PGA at discounted prices!” Which is more effective and delivers the most impact? If you go for the latter, you must seriously reconsider your banners and ads. Both deliver the same message but the first ad is more likely to draw in a lot of clicks. Why? It uses strong words and a focused keyword. You can use SEO campaigns and pay-per-click advertising services in order to boost your sales and traffic but how do you find which keywords reel in the money? Here’s how:

Measuring click-through rates
Click-through rates are simply the number of times people clicked on your advertisements. Where is the keyword in this scenario? Do not forget that the life of your banners and other advertisements is built on words but not just any word. Banners and advertisements reel in potential customers by being targeted and focused.
There are two ways by which you can measure click-through rates: PHP and ASP Scripts and CGI Script.

There are plenty of CGI Scripts for tracking click-throughs available online. Install the script in your website but make it invisible so that visitors will not feel that they are being watched or something. You can also opt to have a CGI Script custom-designed for your website if you have extra cash. You can also inquire about CGI tracking scripts from your web host.

If a CGI script is passé for you, you can opt to go for PHP and ASP scripts in tracking your keywords’ click-through rates. Ask your web hosting service provider if it supports the script you want. You can also inquire about server-side scripts to find out which is more compatible for your website.

Online tracking services
If scripts are too technical for you, there are online tracking service providers you can sign up with. These providers usually let you try the free version of their tracking client so you can shop around for the best deal before upgrading to a paid version. Paid versions are generally more useful since the providers let you have automated reports detailing click through rates and other important information you can use to beef up your internet marketing campaigns.

You can also sign up with internet marketing and affiliate networks like Click2Sell.EU for a stronger marketing campaign. Affiliates can use your own advertisement materials to ensure consistency and quality in your ad campaigns. By using its own software, the network can provide you with updated reports about your traffic, click-through rates, lets you track keywords and sales each keyword bring and even lets you manage your affiliates for maximum efficiency.

Tracking which keywords bring you the money lets you streamline your internet marketing efforts so you can focus on the keywords and methods that produce results.

The world of Internet marketing is massive, growing, and dynamic. The experience of entering this world for the sake of your business can be a slightly intimidating and daunting experience. On the Internet, the word “marketing” has many different connotations for different people. Therefore, it will be helpful if you understand the various ways that you can “market” your services or products on the Internet. This article shares the 5 basic principles of internet marketing.

The 5 Fundamental Ways to Start Your Internet Marketing Campaign

Fundamental#1: Personal Website

Before you get any deeper into the Internet marketing world, you must have a website. A personal business website is a sure shot way for long-term success. After all, aren’t you better off on your own rather than using someone else’s website and depending on it for your success? Getting someone to create your website is easy now, especially since you are spoiled for choice with the kind of software packages available online. And the prices are good too! Keep your website simple for search engine optimization and future changes, if any may be needed.

Fundamental#2: Internet Advertising

Now there are 2 distinct types of online advertising — free and paid. Using any of these two types is definitely not as useful as using a combination of both. Not only does a well planned online advertising campaign, which involves both free and paid advertising, give you tremendous exposure but it also helps you extend the reach of your business over the net. Simplest form of paid internet advertising are banner ads, besides pay per click, classified ads in article directories, etc help push targeted traffic on your website. Free advertising includes free classified, link building, article marketing etc.

Fundamental#3: E-Newsletter

One of the best ways to promote your business is by publishing your very own newsletter that is emailed to people who visit your website and subscribe to it. Your e-newsletter should provide useful information that is SEO and related to your products and/or services. Believe me, this is a very effective long-term internet marketing strategy.

Fundamental#4: Email Marketing

If you want to kick start your business and don’t want to spend too much money just yet, then email marketing is the way to go. Not only do you get your message across to thousands of prospective buyers, but you also manage to create a long-long mailing list with valuable information.

Fundamental#5: Blogging

Today, blogs have captured the imagination of the average “netizen”. A blog is a web log of your thoughts written on a regular basis. You can have your own blog site using Blogger.com or WordPress. Blogs help you connect to your target audience with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.

Of course the internet offers almost limitless opportunities to anyone, anywhere to promote their business and make money once you learn the art of internet marketing.

Whilst this is not the definitive list, using these top tips will definitely get that much more traffic to your website/blog. It is important to have a traffic plan in place if you want to ensure a steady stream of potential buyers to your website/blog. By ensuring you have all the right components in place you WILL generate that constant flow of traffic. An important point to remember is when you get that traffic to your site then insure to have an opt-in box on your site. It is much easier to sell to a repeat customer than a new potential buyer.

Let us now look at the list:

1. Update the pages on your website frequently. Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You can even put a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated. If you keep changing information on your front page then the search engines will visit you because they see your site as a being important enough for you to continually update it!

2. Offer additional value on your website. For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also advertise their E-books, reports, info commercials or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product.

3. You can allow customers to ‘opt in’ to get discounts and special offers. Place a link on your site to invite customers to ‘opt in’ to get a monthly newsletter or valuable coupons. Remember its easier to sell to a person who has already bought from you. They have that trust in you and you know they have a working credit card/paypal or other online payment system in place.

4. Add a link to your primary page with a script ‘Book Mark or Add this site to your Favorites’. Make it easier for your visitor, lead them by the hand. It will pay dividends for you.

5. Add a link ‘Recommend this site to a Friend’ so that the visitor can email your website link, with a prewritten title, “Thought you might be interested in this”, just by clicking on it. Its all about making it easy for your visitor.

6. Brand your website so that visitors always know they are on your site. Use consistent colors, logos and slogans and always provide a ‘Contact Us’ link on each page. Branding is so important it is another subject altogether.

7. Create an ‘Our Policies’ page that clearly defines your philosophy and principles in dealing with your customers. Also post your privacy policy as well so that clients know they are secure when they visit your site.

8. Create a FAQ page which addresses most of the doubts and clarifications about your product or your company that are likely to be asked. This helps to resolve most of the customers doubts in their first visit to your site.

9. Ensure that each page on your website has appropriate titles and keywords so that your customer can find their way back to your site if they lose the book mark. If you are not sure about this section then get an SEO expert to complete the job.

10. Never spam a client, who has opted for newsletters, with unsolicited emails. Later if they decide they want to ‘opt out’ of the mailings, be sure you honor their request and take them off the mailing list. They may still come back if they like your products. But they will certainly not come back if you continue to flood their email box with mails they no longer wish to receive.

2 Bonus Tips Enjoy

11. If you cannot or it is not feasible to update your site frequently then why not add an RSS feed to your front page. This will ensure your site gets revisited on a regular basis by the search engines. Once again if you have no idea then get a SEO expert to complete the job.

12. As part of your traffic plan incorporate Manual Traffic Exchanges into your project to drive the traffic to your site. These types of advertising mediums are so worth it. You can use them for free or lost cost investment.
Due to the high volume of traffic these attract you will get your business out there that much quicker and to a greater audience.

It depends on how involved you want to be with teleseminars. You don’t need a website to have a teleseminar. You don’t need web hosting. You don’t even need online audio or fax broadcast or voice broadcasting. You don’t even need a database. However, those things do help.

All you need for a teleseminar is a phone. Whether you are doing the interviewing or if someone is interviewing you. So, for the record, you just need a telephone and whatever that costs you each month, you’re in business.

Now let’s take a look at what it takes to be in more business and do more business using teleconferencing. It’s nice to have a web presence because you can get people on a teleconference very quickly. What changed my teleseminar world, and actually rocked my teleseminar, world is when the commercial web came into being. In 2000 I started doing more and more web work. Now, along with several of my colleagues, I can get a thousand people on a free teleseminar within 24 hours. So it is pretty amazing what the web can do. You can’t do that through direct mail, even fax broadcasting, but you can do it through email and through online registration.

As you move forward you can expand the operation and get webmaster services, hosting, a shopping cart, and an audio generator.

One of the things you need is a webmaster. Don’t do this work yourself, you need a webmaster. If you are a webmaster, then you’re lucky, because you get the templates for free as a part of being in the Teleseminar Secrets course. I do have webmasters I can refer you to. You just look at some of the resources in the executive summaries, as well as the approved vendor list that we have.

Now, a good webmaster will be worth somewhere between $40 to $50 an hour–I’ve paid some webmasters more, depending on how long you are hiring the person and how much you work with him or her. So figure about $50 per hour.

An Ask page to get people registered to a teleconference or a registration page shouldn’t cost any more than $50 to $100 dollars. Hey, there’s no reason to become intricate here or to create a stunning looking website. Just use the templates and you’ll be fine. Those are free.

Hosting will cost you somewhere between $9 to $12 a year. You can get a good host at GoDaddy.com. It’s a good registration service, and you can have it hosted in any number of ways. I’m actually starting a hosting company soon, because a lot of people need hosting and some additional e-business tools, but a good host will cost somewhere between $9 to $12 for basic service and then upwards of $30 - $40 dollars if you want to get a little bit more intricate. The hosting service I’m going to have will be somewhere around $20 a month.

This just goes to show you that it really is easy and inexpensive to have a teleseminar. There are a few other things that can be helpful, but I’ll discuss those in a future article. Good luck!

Since 1991, Alex Mandossian has generated over $233 million in sales and profits for his clients and partners via “electronic marketing” media. Alex has personally consulted Dale Carnegie Training, NYU, 1ShoppingCart Corp., and many others. He has hosted teleseminars with many of the world’s top thought leaders such as Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, and Stephen Covey. He has trained over 8,300 teleseminar students since 2002.

Everyone that is a webmaster is looking for edge on their competitors on the search engines. Two of the more popular link building techniques is submitting your website to Web Directories and Article Directories. In this Article I will talk about the benefits and rules that should be applied when submitting to Web Directories and Article Directories.

The main benefit of submitting your website to Web Directories is when your site is accepted into a directory you will normally receive a backlink from that directory as long as they have no follow turned off. The more back links or also called one way incoming links you have to your site the higher you will be placed up in the search engines for your targeted keyword.

When submitting to web directories there are many things you need to review before creating your information to use when submitting to them. You will need an Anchor text, Description and keywords. There are other requirements but these are the only important ones. Your anchor text should include keywords that your website is targeting to be ranked for. But the anchor text should not include too many characters. You should have at least 5 variations of your anchor text and rotating them when you are submitting to directories. Your description won’t be too important for the search engines but more so for the editors that review your submission, make sure it does not sound like an advertisement. Instead give a detailed description of what your website is about in 150-450 characters, it’s also a good idea to have a few variations of your descriptions. Last is your keywords, there really aren’t too important when submitting to web directories, and all directories wont even have a box for your keywords. Simply put your 5 most important keywords for this field.

Like Web Directory Submissions, Article Submissions also have a great benefit to your website. When you submit your article to directories you normally can have up to 3 hyperlinks at the end of your article. And the good thing about Article Submissions is you can use deep-link URL’s in your article which are hard to gain backlinks for. Unlike Web Directory submissions, Article Directories normally can give your website an increase in traffic. The reason for this is an article is a much better informative resource then Web Directories.

When submitting your article to Article Directories there are usually a few guidelines that you have to follow. The first one is making sure that your article is not already listed in that directory. Once that is done check your article for any errors like grammar and spelling. Ensure that you have all fields in the submission form completely filled out; normally these would be the title, author name, email, author resource, keywords and category. If you submit your article to the wrong category, this will normally lead to a declination of the article, the same goes for a duplicate article.

Pay per click (PPC) is by far one of the easiest and quickest methods of driving targeted, consistent traffic to your website. While this may seem like a daunting method of advertising for some, it’s actually quite easy and can end up becoming that one marketing method that you can’t live without.

But as I said, it can be a little daunting to begin with, so here are some top tips that will help you create and monitor your Pay Per Click advertisements.

Different Search Engines

There are many search engines that offer Pay Per Click advertising. The two most commonly used are Google and Yahoo. It is generally recommended that when you start your PPC campaign, have a low budget and spread it over a few different search engines to see where your target audience is.
Pay Per Click users who use Google tend to have better success advertising technically orientated products or services such as computer hardware or website design. On the other hand Yahoo has been reported to bring great results for products that general consumers search for such as toys, video games and music.

Choosing the right Keywords
Choosing the right keywords is the pretty much the most vital stage of your PPC campaign. You will need to select the keywords specific to the service or product you are offering, while being careful not to target an overly competitive phrase. If your phrase is extremely competitive, you are likely to spend a lot of money.
To begin with, ask yourself what phrase would you search for if you were looking for the product or service you are promoting.
Begin by searching for your product or service with a variety of variations of your phrase. For example if you sell mobile phones, variations could include “Buy mobile phones”, “Buy new mobile phones” or “buy latest mobile phones”.
By searching for variations of key phrases, you can also see what your competitors are also targeting. Make a note of the phrases that you see.
Be aware that there is usually a fine line between keywords that are either too specific or too general. You don’t want to waste your money on untargeted traffic.

Attracting People to Your Ad

Title:
Once you have selected your keywords, they need to be enticed into clicking your adverts. One of the simplest, yet most effective way is to including your keywords in the title of your advert. This has been known to increase click-through rates on adverts by over 50%

You should also be aware that you can often create a more appealing advert by including other keywords into your advert. You could do this if you are targeting a very specific part of your product, it will ultimately mean that your clicks will decrease but should improve the quality of the visits.

Description

When you have written your title, you need to create a description for your advert. It needs to be direct and to the point. Realistically a user needs to be prompted to click your advert, so the description needs to be appealing.

A good method of prompting people to click your advert is to give them a direct instruction. For example, a phrase like “try our demo” or “download” will provide the push that they need.

It is important to make your advert different from your competitors, if you offer a good product or service that is different, say why in your description. After all, you want people too choose your advert over the others.

Reducing Your Click Through
Despite what you may think, for the majority of the cases it is important to reduce the number of clicks your PPC advert is receiving. A high number of clicks does tend to indicate that your visitors are potentially from a market that you are not directly targeting.
If you think this is likely, you should make the description of your advert more descriptive and even include your price. This will more than likely reduce the number of clicks, but improve your click to sale ratio.

Tracking Your Clicks and Conversions

You need to know if your campaign is successful, to know this you need to be able to track your clicks and conversions. If your adverts are not successful, then ultimately your money is better spent elsewhere.
Luckily Google and Yahoo PPC include built in tracking and conversion tools so you can track how well your adverts are doing.
You will need to know exactly how much money you are making per pound or dollar spent on every advert. If you are making more money than spending, then that advert is successful. If this is the case, you can use your knowledge and experience to potentially increase that.
If your advert is costing you more than it is making, you can either reduce the amount you are spending on that advert, or remove it altogether. PPC has a lot of trial and error associated with it depending on your market.

Take the advice in this article, hopefully it will improve your Pay Per Click campaigns. Always remember that it can take time and effort for you to find the perfect key phrases for your market, but once you have found them, the rewards can be great.

Good Luck

Onsite optimization is the same thing as page optimization. Page optimization is the process of making sure that your website functions in the most effective way possible in relation to search engines. Once you have researched and selected the best possible keywords for your business, you need to implement them the right way on all your pages. For every page on your website, you should focus on 1-3 keywords to get the best effect. If you try to squeeze in every single term on one page then your page will be over optimized and the effectiveness of each individual term goes down.

The title tag is the most important tag for your website. Many times, I see companies list their company name in the title which would be applicable for big corporations but for most business owners you want to place your most important keywords here. It’s very important to place your most important keywords as early as possible in the title tag. If you really need to place your company name in the title tag, you should place this at the end of the title tag.

Also make sure your title is short. If you have a longer title tag the effect becomes diluted and the effectiveness is reduced. Make sure your title tag is natural looking and compelling. Remember what you put in the title will show up as the title link in Google search results. Just as important as it is to gain high rankings, you also want a high click-through ratio (ie many people click on your listing).

A great idea for constructing your title tag is to overlap keyword terms, which can help you pick up multiple search phrases. For instance, if you are a financial consultant, then you could construct the title as: Professional financial consultation services. This would help you gain good rankings for these terms:

a) professional financial consultation services
b) professional financial consultation
c) financial consultation services.

As you can see, this is a great way to keep your title tag concise which will definitely help those terms to gain high relevancy score. The other two tags below the Title tag is the description and the keywords tag (meta tags). These tags are not so important anymore but it would not hurt to add your most important keywords here as well.

As mentioned before, you should focus on about 1-3 terms per page. This means if you placed those terms in the title tag, you also need to place those exact terms in the description and keyword tags. This is to gain consistency and it will tell Google that this page is definitely about these terms. Again, try to list your most important terms as early as possible in the tags. If there is a common misspelled word in your industry, you should definitely list this in the keyword tag. The terms in the keyword tags should be comma separated. Just like the title tag, you need to write the description tag in a compelling manner (optimize it for humans as well as the engines) to boost your click through ratio on the search engine results page (SERP).

In addition to this, you should optimize the header tag (h1) on every single page of your site. Again, the keywords you optimized for in the title need to be placed in the header tags as well. The purpose is to reinforce the title tag using these header tags. You can even use the (h2 and h3) tags to break up the text on your page. For each header make sure to list these selected terms if feasible without making it sound strange. It’s very important that you not only optimize for the search engines but you keep in mind that a human being has to read this page as well. As far as text goes, I would recommend to list the optimized terms about 3-5 terms each on the page. Again, sometimes this is not feasible and in this case, just list as many as you can. What is important to remember is to list your terms early on preferable on the top left section of your site. The higher the terms are listed on the page, the more keyword weight score will be added to those terms.

For all your pages, it’s important to link back to your home page. This means you should try to place the keywords you optimized for your home page as anchor texts on the other pages of your site and point them to your home page. You should also do the same for all your subpages. Anchor texts are placing a very big weight into your search engine rankings so it’s important to do this right on your page. Again, proceed with care and make sure all links sound natural.

For the navigation of your website, it should be text based. If you decide to use graphic navigation, the search engines cannot read the words as these are embedded as images. In this case, you need to use alt text tags. Putting your targeted keywords in the alt tags is also a good idea but does not carry much weight nowadays. If you use image based navigation, make sure to use text footer links on the bottom of each page.

As always, you should make a site map for your website to ensure that the Google bot spider will index and rank all your pages. This is especially important if your site is very large and complex.

The optimization techniques that I have shown you above have proven to be highly effective in the engines. However, keep in mind that you do not want to OVER optimize and abuse your page. If Google sees that all your inbound links from the other pages of your site has the same anchor texts as the header, title, and many repetition of the same terms on the page are prevalent, then your page will be red flagged to Google. That means Google think that you are trying to manipulate your site to gain top rankings. Google does not allow this and only want to display the most useful sites for their users so how can you minimize that your site is over optimized? The best way is to appear natural. An important factor is to write unique and useful content and if you develop you site in this fashion more websites will also start linking to your site.
