How valuable are links in blog comments? Let it be known that all links have value and one should never underestimate what a strategically placed link can offer. Yet, many people seem invest significant money in search engine optimization techniques but ignore some very simple techniques and methods that can greatly boost traffic to a site. Commenting on blogs and leaving links to your own site can prove to be very reliable methods for building traffic.

The blog comments section of a blog are designed to provide feedback to the blogger as well as provide further reading enjoyment to those who frequent the blog. This creates a great opportunity for you to build traffic for your blog. If you has a blog that was related to the entertainment business, for example, you are also probably a reader of entertainment related blogs. Simply frequent those similar blogs that have a great deal of traffic and start leaving blog comments. Within the blog comments, you should leave a link to your own blog. From this, some of the readers of this very popular blog will find their way to your blog and, hopefully, become regular readers of your work as well.

Keep in mind, some bloggers may not like people to leave comments on their blog with links attached. They may end up deleting your entries and links. If this happens don’t sweat it. Just shrug your shoulders and move on to the next blog. If you do wish to reduce the odds of your blog comments (and links) being deleted it is best to avoid spamming the blog with links and no content to the comments. Seriously, there are those who place nothing in the comments section other than the link! This is a great way to find your comment deleted. Instead, write excellent, well thought out comments and you will find your presence on the blog being more welcome.

It is vital to your professional and personal marketing goals to have a website. Many think that it’s hard to create your own website, but this isn’t true. Even on a limited budget, it can take one afternoon and some patience to design a site that showcases your products, art, music, or services.

In order to create a website, you must be familiar with HTML coding and/or basic Web formatting. If you are not savvy in either of these tools needed to create a website, locate a company or consultant that will walk you through the process.

The first step when you create your own website is to choose your domain name. Make sure the domain name is memorable and clear, because this is the address that people will type in to locate you. Adding hyphens or unnecessary slashes could hinder your search results and make your potential audience harder to locate you.

If you want to create your own website you will first need to choose a design. There are millions of designs available so be sure to keep the aim of your website in mind when considering the right one. For a business, fonts and graphics that make your business seem reputable are a must. If you are using your webpage to show off your artwork don’t choose a design that clashes with your art.

When you create a website, there are innumerable ways to customize it, including a particular palate of colors or a custom-made logo. Remember, too, that your choice of affiliates or links that you feature will come into play when you create your own website.

Once you’ve selected your desired website design, the next step is to create the content that will permeate your site. The bare minimum includes an “about” section or biography, to introduce your vision to the world and announce the purpose of your website. It’s a good idea to incorporate search engine optimization (SEO) keywords so that your site will appear when Internet surfers search for commonly-used words and phrases.

After you have decided on a domain name, design and have scripted copy, before you publish your site, be sure to ask yourself if you need other accompanying items, such as an e-mail address, a shopping cart or interactive tools, such as enabling your visitors to leave comments.

If you want to further your professional or personal marketing goals, putting together a web site is imperative. It is easy to create your own website. In order to create a website, you must be familiar with HTML coding and/or basic Web formatting.

A popular area that most internet marketers are working with today is known as affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing can be simple once you know what you are doing, but if you are a beginner, it is not as easy as people will tend to tell you it is to start off.

The first thing you need to do to become successful with this area is to become a master at it. You should educate yourself with affiliate marketing. A good way to do this is by going to look at forums or blogs as these people will tell you straight up how they are making money with this business.

When it is time to sell your affiliate products to your customers, you must always stay truthful and never lie about a product you are selling. You should always test the product out first and make sure that it does what it says it does. If you cheat your customers, two things could happen including you getting a bad reputation and a refund for the product.

A big failure that people tend to fall into is when they set up there blog or website with affiliate links but, it never sees the time of day. You must advertise your site in order for you to make money from it. Without traffic your site will stay lifeless and will never be seen anywhere on the internet. The more traffic you get, the more money you will be making.

The best way to get traffic and freely as well, is through article marketing. A lot of people that are in this business tend to use article marketing for their traffic generation techniques. Articles can not only properly get you back links, it can also give you sudden spurts of traffic everyday as well.

Don’t get me wrong, there are other types of free ways you can get traffic as well, you just have to learn about those for yourself. You should immediately start learning more about affiliate marketing in a whole if you are interested in starting off in this field.

Just always remember, even though this work is based out of your home, you must treat it like it is a real job/career as it really is. You will never get anywhere by not making the first step and not setting goals in stone. The reason why so many people fail at a home business is because they always put it off until tomorrow.

Thousands of people start online businesses every day. Most of them don’t realize that it takes real work to be successful. Most of these businesses (90%) will fail within twelve months. Only 10% will be successful enough to continue for longer than a year.

One of the biggest reasons for this is that most people focus on the wrong thing. They concentrate on the wrong things. They focus on their website. Many people start out by spending thousands of dollars for the perfect website. Others concentrate on finding the perfect products. Both of these approaches will end in failure. An average website getting lots of traffic will make much more money than a great website with little traffic.

These new entrepreneurs should be focusing on generating traffic. Traffic is the lifeblood of every Internet business. Without traffic, no sales are made, no ads are clicked, no business gets done. Without traffic there is no business. Nothing happens without traffic.

There are many ways to generate traffic. You can write articles, place ads, visit forums, register with traffic exchanges, send email, etc. etc. etc. In fact, there are new methods of traffic generation being developed every day. I recently found a program that gets other people to send traffic to your website. And the best part is, you don’t have to pay them a penny. This is a phenomenal idea and it works really well!

I believe that this will be the next great traffic generation technique. Although the technique is rather new right now, it will be a common traffic generation tool within a year.

There are several ways in which a merchant account may be categorized. A terminal based on non-terminal based merchant account, in which the distinction is based on whether a physical terminal is required to swipe the credit card or not. The terminal is connected to a phone line which connects the terminal to the credit card processing backend, in order to carry out a transaction. The growth of cellular phones and popularity of wireless options has created a new market for wireless terminals which use a CDMA or GMS chip to communicate with the processor wirelessly. This means that a merchant is not bound to his or her sales office or outlet in order to accept a customer order. Non terminal accounts include internet merchant accounts, telephone and mail order merchant accounts, in which credit card data and authorization can be transmitted electronically without swiping the card. For instance, in case of telephone merchant accounts, a touchtone telephone is used and the button presses are recorded and translated into credit card processing data.

Another way to look at merchant accounts is based on their risk profile- typically low risk and high risk merchant accounts will be treated and assessed differently by merchant account providers and third party credit card processors. Low risk merchant accounts are applicable to those merchants who are in a business that does not involve a high risk of chargebacks or are in a business that is not considered high risk by most banks. For high risk merchants, a high risk merchant account is required. These high risk merchants are usually in the high risk business classification and typically also in the high volume category. In most cases, these high volume businesses will also get flagged by a domestic bank and may need to go offshore for a merchant account that provides adequate services as well as security.
It is possible for a high risk merchant to obtain a domestic high risk merchant account, but they may need to provide a huge security deposit in the form of a cash bond or indemnity bond. For a new business, this may be nearly impossible, and even for an established merchant who is able to provide a track record, the high value of the bond may not make good business sense.

Why is a high risk business classified as such? Primarily due to the high risk of chargebacks involved. A chargeback is a reverse charge on a merchant due to a claim by the buyer, typically due to suspicion of credit card fraud or non-delivery or defective delivery of the product ordered. Especially in case of intangible products such as software, the risk of chargebacks tends to be high. In addition, some types of businesses such as online gambling are outside the regulatory purview of the law of some countries. Banks or merchant account providers in those countries will flag such businesses as high risk. Other businesses selling adult entertainment products, online dating services, tobacco, online auctions, travel agents etc are also in the high risk category. With such high risk businesses, tangibility of the product is also an issue, which leads to debates on whether the product was delivered and whether it was defective. Auction sites are most susceptible to credit card fraud, accounting for about 44% in the first half of 2005 of all internet related fraud. For instance, Ebay, the world’s leading auction site, tracks about USD 1 million per day in fraudulent auctions.

For a US citizen to open an offshore merchant account, there are certain guidelines and requirements that need to be met, as per the Fraudulent Disposition Act under the US department of Treasury. For instance, the person or company in question must not have any litigation pending. In addition, the person’s or company’s liabilities should not exceed the value of their total assets and must have sufficient funds to pay to its creditors. Furthermore, an offshore merchant account could be considered fraud if it is intended to cheat creditors or to avoid existing criminal offences. An offshore merchant account must hence be a well evaluated business decision, rather than an avoidance mechanism.

There are thousands of list-building internet marketers online right now. Some bring in 100’s of leads per day, highly responsive leads. Others, using the same effort (or even more) are bringing in 5 leads per day, making no cash at all.

Why? What are the successful list-builders doing to get responsive readers by the groves?

1) They are using squeeze pages to force new traffic to opt in. This is much stronger than just adding an opt-in web form on every page of your website.

What is your new visitor conversion rate to opt-in to your mailing list? 5%, 10%? With a squeeze page that offers the only access to your web site, that number can range anywhere from 40% to as much as 80%, depending on the value of the information in your web site and the effectiveness of your squeeze page at conveying that information.

Wow! Talk about a huge increase! 800% at the top end. Even if you are just getting 10 subscribers a day, imagine if that were 80 a day, with no change in your traffic! That is 2400 subscribers per month–do the math for the yearly number.

2) Utilizing the power of numbers is the way to go. They know that if they are getting 100 leads a day, they can track their advertising much more effectively and certainly faster, than you are getting 10 leads a day. They are willing to take extra steps to make those extra numbers happen.

3) TTesting everything you do must be done on a regular basis. They know what sources convert at 10%, at 20%, at 60%, into subscribers. They know the cost-per-subscriber of every source they use. When you track things, they tend to improve.

4) They treat their subscribers as if they are worth monee. What is your average subscriber worth? 50 cents a month? What are you willing to pay for a subscriber that is worth 50 cents a month? How about a dollar a month? And you are struggling with paying 50 cents to get a new subsciriber?

5) They are backending their new subscribers. After the subscriber opt-in, the thank you page is a high-converting sales page. It has been said that with the right thank you sales page, 100% of the opt-in cost can be recovered on the spot.

6) They are single-minded. It is far better to become highly successful at one or two sources of traffic than to be mediocre at 10 different sources.

Become an expert at one source of traffic and the necessary conversion tactics for that traffic source. You see, one squeeze page may be highly effective at converting a particular traffic source, but lousy at another. Test different sources differently and regularly. Focus! Focus! Focus!

Did you know, self-publishing is one of the easiest ways to make money on the web. Of course, it requires talent, but it’s easier to learn than you might think.
Getting Started:

Choose a subject that interests you. Select a subject you enjoy or want to learn about. As an example for this article, we will use “Computer Tips.”

Okay, next collect the information to put in the book about “Computer Tips”. A good idea to collect tips would be to use your own knowledge, contacts, friends, online associates, family members, even neighbors.

Contact everyone you know who owns a computer; ask them to share their favorite computer tips with you. Tell them if you use their tip you will include their name in the book. After several contacts you should have acquired a stack of solid information.
Now, it’s time to start sorting the information and separating it into categories. For example beginner tips, hardware tips, software tips, online tips, troubleshooting tips. Place each category into its own file. Each of these categories will be the chapters in your book.

Next, begin composing your book on the computer. Don’t panic! It’s not that hard. Write a brief intro. Write your name and contact information, any copyright information, a brief disclaimer. Publishing date, origin of publishing.

Remember all those tips you collected. Select the best tips of the lot. Now break that down into brief chapters.

Now end the book with a pertinent ending sentence or paragraph. Your name, contact information and a link back to your website.

Now the book is ready to publish.. You’ve read everything and checked for misspelled words or obvious grammar mistakes. You are now ready to see the final result of your hard work.

If you publish online you will need an eBook creator, which could cost anywhere from $29 and up. Or you might decide to search online with Google or Yahoo for “free eBook creation software” and download.

Download the software and take it for a test drive. Follow the instructions on setting up your files and publishing.

If your eBook is less than 10 pages you might decide to call it a report. More than 10 pages would classify as an eBook.

Well, alright now. Let’s sell that book and make a profit! One good idea is to call all the people who offered you tips for your book. Price the book around $20.00 Sounds like a deal! Especially for people hungry for helpful tips from a savvy computer expert like you.

Offer all the contributors a discount on your new book. Maybe a 50 percent discount. Everyone who contributes would certainly love to have a copy with their byline (name) included. This is called ego stroking sales tactics (works for me!)

Have a website? Offer the eBook to all your website visitors. Set up a sales page advertising your book along with ordering instructions. You will want to set up a shopping cart to handle sales. Or alternatively use a service like pay pal or clickbank to handle sales without the hassle of needing a merchant account. Note: Although clickbank cost money to host your book you will attract affiliates who will eagerly sell your book. This translates to more profits.

Also, consider contacting ezine owners online. Offer them a free copy of your book in exchange for advertising space in their publication. Visit online ezine directories and search for ezines in a similar category as your book. Contact the editor with pertinent details.

It’s amazingly easy to create your very own book online. There’s no hidden secret to publishing. So called publishing guru’s want you to think they have the answers or insider secrets. For most of those on the Internet the so called secret is just a good idea and a way to reach targeted customers.

Every person reading this article has a book inside of them! Think about it. Everybody knows something about a topic that other people would pay good money to learn about. You can be sure!

So, what are you waiting for? Get Busy! Pick a topic, gather the information, and process it. You’ll be a published writer online. Others will think of you as their writer friend. You’ll be able to strut your stuff with a certain pride. Yup, I’m a writer! And place that on all your emails, letters, stationary, and business cards.

A winning domain name can put you miles ahead of your competition. After all, that’s the purpose of your website, right? Unfortunately most business owners and webmasters don’t realize choosing the right domain name can be crucial to the websites success.

Good domain names have several things in common. They are descriptive of the websites content; they are easy to remember and easy to spell. Being descriptive of the websites content is the most important because this is how you will attract existing traffic to your website. If your website or business is in the shoe business, shoe better be in your domain name if you want to succeed.

Your domain name is your location on the internet. It’s your piece of virtual real estate that you can develop however you see fit. Your domain name separates you from the 120 million or so websites on the internet today. Choosing a winning domain name is the equivalent to choosing a good location for an offline business.

In order to be competitive an offline business must have a location that has existing traffic counts that will support their venture. The same is true for your website. Good domain names have the potential to capture existing traffic on the internet. That’s right “existing traffic” people already seeking the product or services you provide!

Traffic is the most sought after commodity on the internet. You can develop the website of all websites but without traffic who cares, no one will ever see it. Every website on the internet must have traffic to succeed and better yet, targeted traffic.

A winning domain name can deliver existing targeted traffic to your website from day one! When it comes to choosing the right domain name the vast majority of people, even professional webmasters, do not understand this concept. Good domain names have the potential to deliver targeted traffic to your website.

Existing traffic will come from two major sources, direct navigation or “type in traffic”, and the major search engines. Approximately 10 to 15% of all internet searches are done via direct navigation. Direct navigation is when a person types a domain name directly into the address bar bypassing the traditional search engines. If you are looking for shoes you would type in shoes.com and be taken to that website.

The major benefit of a winning domain name is having the potential to take the existing direct navigation traffic, and leverage it into mass amounts of targeted traffic, using proper search engine and website optimization practices. This in turn increases your search engine ranking.

The search engines consider many factors when ranking a page; the domain name is one of those factors. A good domain name is the foundation of a good website. Once you have the solid foundation, you develop a highly optimized website that enables you to leverage the traffic into profits.

For those that continue to think choosing the right domain name has no importance, why is the domain name industry booming? Major news stories on the domain name industry have recently been published in the New York Times, CNN Money, Fox Business and the Christian Science Monitor. Major sales over $4 million have already taken place in 2008. Major corporations are purchasing domain names. Don’t discount the importance of choosing a good domain name when developing your website, your competition may understand the value!

Greg Greenamyer is an entrepreneur with 30 years of small business experience including 9 years of internet marketing. Greg founded DomainNamePotential.com , an informational website focusing on the importance of domain names and SEO friendly website development. Greg also buys, sells and develops domain names.
