If you’re new to Internet Marketing you may have come across the term SEO. You’ve probably even wondered what it means and what it’s about. Like you, I was quite bewildered by the term when I first begin to look at Internet Marketing as a way to make money online. In this brief article, I would like to give you some basics of SEO, also known as Search Engine Optimization and the reason why it is so important to anyone doing business online.

What is Search Engine Optimization?

Search Engine Optimization basically centers on keyword research. There are many different keyword analyzers that you can use to help you in this process. Google has a free keyword analyzer tool. Just do a search on Google to find it. In order to drive your website to the top of the page rankings, you have to use the right keywords and ultimately these keywords will drive the right traffic to your site in order for you to make sales. Without driving traffic to your site, the chances of you being successful are zero to none.

Strategic Placement of Keywords

It’s important to place your keywords in strategic places throughout your site. Try putting keywords in your title tag of your post or webpages. Also, try to put them within the article/post about 3-6 times.

On-page Optimization, Off-page Optimization and Back Links

Two common terms that you will most likely encounter in Internet Marketing are on -page optimization and off-page optimization. The difference between the two can be summed up as follows: On-page optimization refers to things that you can do on your web page to better promote traffic to your site. An example would be keyword research, putting links in your articles optimizing your title tags, headlines, sub headlines within your article. Off- page optimization refers to things that you can do off your webpage to drive your page rankings and increase targeted visitor traffic to your website. An example of this would be building back links. The term back link basically happens when a link from another site links to your site. Back links are another way to build your sites search popularity. This can be done by using social bookmarking sites. Two such sites are Social Marker and Only Wire. Once set up, these sites will generally send your article to multiple sites with the click of your mouse.

SEO is very important to any successful internet business. Blending the right mix of on-site and off-site optimization, as well as evaluating, re-evaluating and utilizing the right mix should drive your SEO search rankings to the top.

Feel like buying a new iPod touch? You know it is easy to buy, and that’s the exciting part. Shopping for a new gadget or a pair of clothes is really fun, but it’s just the output. Of course, you need to earn money, save it, and afterward use it to your heart’s content. That’s one unaltered cycle, something that cannot be changed or disrupted by other minorities. Work, earn, save, and spend. But how can you really earn money to the extent that you don’t need to work for several days without getting hungry? There are so many ways to earn money without actually leaving your own home. You just need to swivel your computer chair and have a nice cup of brewed coffee while you allegedly earn, or be your own boss and have the power of a company chairman. Give me five minutes and I’ll teach you how to earn money from home and through online.

Resourcefulness, discipline, and creativity are key components, not of your home or online business, but of you. Implying these three words to you and to your business outlook will only result to one thing: success. Now, if you have these three, we’ll take a sneak peek on the different ways to earn money, from home and via online.

When your business is at home, you have no superiors. You’re the boss, so you hold your time and are required to think of ways how to profit. If you have plenty of furniture left unused, why not sell them? Dig out that childhood or teenage instruments you never played after you just got 18, or those CD’s stacked up for years. Only keep your favorite ones, though. For sure they’re costly now if you would buy them again for your own copy. Have any antique collections? Hey, they look pretty for grannies and grandmas. Try selling some pieces for a ridiculously low price, now if it sells well you can lift the value a little bit to profit more. To further expand your home business and earn money more, make a minute garage sale for a day or two and sell all what you can sell. If you gained enough funds, use it as capital to integrate your garage sale business with a real retailing one.

Speaking of home, you can also earn money without stepping outside your four sided box. How? Make use of your internet connection and find a job online. Mostly, internet jobs are freelance work, or related to internet marketing. In freelance, you can search for online companies that seek professionally aligned internet savvies who will serve as their home-based employees. For example, an online textile designing firm can hire professional and creative individuals that can do the designing for them, and pay their employees with reasonable rate. On the other hand, internet marketing requires you to garner traffic for your website to market a certain product. This internet traffic will determine how much you will be paid by the company who chose your website to be their marketer. Either way, you can earn money, save it, and afterward use it to buy anything you want.

The invention of a product that is however superior as compared to those that are available will remain unknown unless being properly marketed. It is therefore very crucial for a company to identify its target clients and keep them updated on any new products. This is to ensure a constant inflow of sales income and encourages forward planning. Certainly, a company will only be interested to market its products to clients that are interested as this will enables cost saving.

The question is that, how is it possible for a company to establish its mailing list of prospects?

Normally this is done by offering free downloads of limited periods in the internet. May it be a free software or a simple wallpaper offered, this will helps to attract targeted prospects to try out your new products. By offering free stuffs, prospects might be more willing to give away their emails which will then be stored as a mailing list for future use. However, you shouldn’t place a huge burden on prospects by requiring lots of information. Do note that prospects do not have the patience as the reliability of the free downloads offered is yet to be proven. So, the information asked for is advised to be limited to simple correspondence email address and name.

By offering freebies online, you should also ensure that potential prospects are aware of such offers. It is of no use if the offers are placed on the internet and no one seems to be downloading them. Thus, it is of utmost importance for you to start linking the downloads on each and every page of your website. This will helps those who needs the free downloads to be able to download it easily and without hassle. If possible, opt for the pop-out icon to attract visitors of your website to download it and try it out. This will definitely attract more new prospects.

More should be done to convince visitors to download what is offered for free as the skepticism of readers regarding free stuffs cannot be eliminated. Readers might feel as if there is a catch for stuff that is free. Thus, you should be putting in more effort to clear the doubts of visitors. Perhaps by trying to explain to them the usage of the download and how it might benefits them, visitors might be more convinced to download it.

Apart from that, you can also form a forum in your website that enables visitors to discuss among themselves of certain products. At times, you should also make some time to answer to any enquiries from the visitors or prospects. Communications with prospects will instill greater confidence of your products.

By obtaining a list of emails via the offering of free downloads, you can certainly establish a mailing list of prospects. This will then generate greater savings in cost to market future products. Only targeted prospects are aimed at rather than people who might not be interested at all. This will further ensure proper effort and attention are being channeled into the right prospects.

These are the few steps to ensure that mailing list is obtained via the offering of free downloads.

Working from home makes it easy for you how to shape up your work according to your environment and goals. With the freedom aspect of home based business, you can say NO to: Rigid work schedules, Corporate culture, Bosses, Time clocks.

Apart from all the benefits, what is driving the growing movement of becoming home based entrepreneurs is the need to be independent and work with satisfaction. The trend of future is going to be working from home.

So here’s the deal!!

The best advice I’ve ever received that saved me more money than any other thing…

I mean literally hundreds to thousands of dollars…

This is very important so please pay attention…

FOCUS

That’s it! That right there helped me more than almost anything else I have ever learned. And not just with my internet business, but also with my personal offline business (which is now beginning to skyrocket as we speak… If you are wondering what it is, I host Adventure Retreats in the US, Hawaii, Italy, and New Zealand, with expansions to Australia and French Polynesia in 2012). Focus has also helped me in my personal life.

Let me explain!

Most of the problems I had when I started my adventure business (and my internet business) I had so many ideas and so many things I wanted to do and try and every day I read more things about more things that did more things that I was caught up in wasting my time on following rabbits down several different paths each day. Every time I heard of something new, I followed it. I wanted in the the newest, hottest secret of all time… unfortunately after I bought the product and read it from cover to cover or watched every video, I would find something new to learn from or buy, the next hot tip of the year… Now I wouldn’t say that it was necessarily money down the drain, because I learned A TON! I simply didn’t have the time to implement everything and was spending money I didn’t have. Even in my retreat business I wanted to host retreats all over the place. Some places i had been, some i hadn’t, some sounded awesome and others where just a passing thought.. My mind would race at night with all the ideas I had and all the things I had to do and all the places I wanted to go.  Then I got the advice that turned EVERYTHING around… It didn’t make me an overnight millionaire, nor did it make me famous, but it did give me more personal time in the day, less money leaving my bank account, and the building blocks to get my business where it is today.  Yes, I travel the world with small groups of people and make money! It’s AWESOME!

So what exactly did I mean by FOCUS? And how can you do it too?

Well, the great part is it’s actually pretty easy and once you train yourself to focus instead of following some random evil bunnies who have semi good intentions, you will not even know you are doing it.

Here’s what I suggest you do (this is just what I did.. you do it how ever you want):

It’s easier for me to do this as an example, so let’s pretend you already have your internet business and website and are getting some traffic and trying some things and buying a lot of stuff to help you. This is only example for focusing… you can still do things however you see fit.

Basically you spend day in and day out doing and trying all the new things you read about, buying all the new products to automate everything, or have “Everything Up In Minutes”… You are doing ALL kinds of work all day every day and there doesn’t seem to be much happening on the income side.  This is where focus comes in. Pick one or two methods… like writing articles and adding content to your site daily. (by the way that method right there can get you committed and consistent traffic in just a couple months that just keeps going up and up and up… i know because i do that exact thing)

Now here’s where the FOCUS really comes in to save you money and time. every time you read something about a new product or service that doesn’t have anything to do with writing an article or posting new content.. you don’t need to take time on at this point. Save yourself the time of reading things that aren’t going to help you with exactly what you are doing and save yourself the money by not purchasing products that aren’t going to get you any better at what you are doing.. some things just take time and effort when you start. Easy isn’t always better.

Once this becomes second hand and you get to the point where it’s so easy you can write articles and add content daily in your sleep, you can try a new method and focus on that until it’s easy breezy.

Pick something and stick with it and only it until you know it works or doesn’t work and you can see the results and make a decision.

Where else could the word FOCUS help you?

In my opinion… pretty much everywhere! I use it when I sit down to work. What exactly do I need to get done and what will it take to do it? If something else comes up while I’m working, it can wait until I am finished. If I get a new idea or something I want to try, i’ll jot it down quickly and go back to what I need to finish that day. I have to say, instead of spending hours upon hours in my office working, I now only spend a couple hours (unless I have something huge I need to get done).  After I finish I can check my emails a million times or play a quick game to relax or whatever it is that would usually distract me.

Focus on what you want to do and don’t do things that just come up randomly and aren’t necessary. (Prioritizing is a great thing as well.. more on that next time.)

Anyway, I hope this has helped you, I know it may not be very clear what exactly I was trying to say.. but please don’t hesitate to ask if you have a question.

So get out there folks and FOCUS!!

There’s something to say for having your own online business… you generally get to work from home, make your own hours, be your own boss and much much more. BUT… and this is a big BUT, you are also required to follow specific laws and regulations that pertain to having an online business or even just having a website (even if you don’t sell anything).

The scary thing is, over 90% of all websites are NOT in compliance with the internet laws and regulations governed by the FTC. Are you one of these sites?

Internet Law Compliance Guide click here!

Let’s take a lesson from Frank Kern:

“You Could Have Saved Me $350,000.00!”

“I’ve had personal experience with the government agencies with regards to Internet compliance, and let me tell you, it’s an absolute nightmare!

“What’s really shocking is how easy it is to step outside of the boundaries of the law. You can be in violation without even knowing it! I was, and if I had this kit FIRST then the whole thing could’ve been prevented. I would have saved about $350,000.00! (Not to mention experiencing amazing levels of stress.)

“Your product helps people quickly know what you can… And canNOT do online. And all it takes is a few simple changes to be compliant. Your compliance kit shows people how to do this. In my opinion, anyone who does business online without this is information completely insane.”

Frank Kern
Prolific Author and Internet Marketer

No matter who you are or what your website is, you can be sued by the FTC… Unless you take just a few minutes and a little bit of money (Way less then it would cost to hire your own attorney to do this for you) to get in compliance quickly and easily.

I just wanted to apologize for not getting the new video series on creating your own website quickly and easily for little to no cost.  A few weeks ago my father went into pulmonary arrest which caused cardiac arrest and has been in the hospital since (that’s the VERY short version). I have been helping my mom and being with my family as much as possible.  I will be able to get back to the video series soon hopefully. My dad is getting better and may be able to leave the hospital within the week and transported to a nursing home.

On a brighter note.. one of the days my 5 year old nephew and I were in the waiting room so he could play with the toys and he was looking out the window for a while, completely quiet, and finally (while still staring out the window) said “Aunt Kerri, when I get big I want to be a nurse so I can help grandpa get better.” Makes me tear up just thinking about it. What a sweet sweet child.

I hope things are going well for all of you. I will be back at this as soon as I can.

Maybe not… because we think we’ve completely reinvented it and have produced
the most game changing tool in Internet marketing since Word Tracker arrived
all those years ago.

As you know, keyword research tools usually work in the same kinda’ way… like this:

You provide a seed keyword.

The tool starts to find as many ‘related’ keywords as it can.

You wait for the tool.

You select the keywords you’re interested in for further analysis of SEO or PPC
competition etc.

Any keywords that pass the previous step are typically looked at manually to see
what the competitive landscape is.

Hopefully you ‘sort of’ stumble upon a keyword or two that you can use.
…and that’s all fine. However, we thought we could do better.

And we have.

Introducing IMeye …
A revolutionary new way to find profitable markets and niches by making keyword
research “smart” and not relying on you to accidentally find decent opportunities!

What about tools like Keywordspy and Spyfu etc.? Is IMeye like those?
Absolutely not.

IMeye uses a proprietary method of gathering the BEST keywords out there, doing all
the analysis and research on them (before you even start searching!!(?)) …and then
stores them in a HUGE database ready for your use.

Keywordspy and Spyfu really work the same as any other keyword tool… in other words
they don’t do the analysis for you in the same way… and you still need some kind of
“seed” whether it’s a domain or a keyword or something like that… you can’t just have
it find keyword opportunities without pointing it in a direction.
What we’re basically saying is this….
The difference is that with IMEye… You don’t find keywords… they find you!

The amazing thing about IMeye is that you don’t need any of the following…

You don’t need seed keywords.

You don’t have to wade through 80-90% of the keywords that are garbage…

You no longer need to wait around while the tool sits and churns through its analysis.

You don’t need to look at keywords that are obviously too expensive to use for PPC.

You don’t need to see keywords that are too competitive to make quick progress with SEO.

You can just ASK IMeye what YOU want… and it will instantly deliver.

You simply no longer need to stumble around in the dark hoping to bump into profitable
keywords… IMeye will shine the spotlight directly onto them.

So what kind of data does IMeye store for each keyword phrase?

Number of searches

Number of competing pages in Google

Number of “intitle” competing pages in Google

Number of words in the keyword phrase

2. Adwords bid estimates: the highest one, and a “cheapest click” one

The top 10 web sites in the Google search engine rankings

The adwords ads that are running

Which Clickbank products have been promoted using this keyword phrase

Which affiliate offer categories have been promoted using this keyword phrase

Flags that identify:

- If physical goods being sold for this keyword

- If there any “exact” domain matches present in the top 10 of the SERPS

- If EzineArticles in the top 10 of the SERPS

- If youtube in the top 10 of the SERPS

- If Amazon in the top 10 of the SERPS

- If Yahoo Answers in the top 10 of the SERPS

- If Squidoo, Hubpages, or Blogspot in the top 10 of the SERPS
…and that’s just a start. Imagine being able to build smart queries quickly and easily
using any or all of those criteria!

Let’s look at some real world uses of IMeye…

1. Say you wanted to build an Adsense empire,
…You would ask IMeye to give you keyword phrases where:

Monthly search volume is greater than 15,000

Competing pages < 50,000

Intitle competing pages < 10,000

No exact domains exist in the top 10 SERPS

No youtube videos in the top 10 SERPS

No Squidoo lenses in the top 10 SERPS

No Hubpages in the top 10 SERPS

No Blogspot sites in the top 10 SERPS

Adwords high bid estimate > $5.00
Finding keywords that meet this criteria will quickly allow you to build up adsense sites
on exact match domains and QUICKLY get them ranked, And… since they have will have high
Adwords bids… they’ll have high payouts from Google Adsense.
Just get an exact domain, throw up some articles and adsense ads, do some link building,
rinse and repeat… and you can build an INCREDIBLE autopilot Adsense income in this way.

2. Next… if you wanted to zero in on SUPER PROFITABLE e-Commerce niches
We own and have seen tons of VERY profitable e-Commerce sites and they all have one thing
in common… They were NOT the first ones to sell something online in that niche!
The odds of finding something profitable to sell online that NO ONE else is selling are…
well… close to zero… and why bother anyway?
If you can find niches where people already make money, but… where you can use your
Internet marketing expertise to compete aggressively… that’s all good. IMeye can direct
you RIGHT to these opportunities.

In this instance, you would ask IMeye to give you keyword phrases where:

The Monthly search volume is greater than 15,000

The Competing pages < 500,000

Intitle competing pages < 50,000

Physical goods ARE being sold for this keyword
This will give you keyword phrases that get enough traffic, that you’re able to compete on
with SEO, and where people are already selling goods. You would then get in there and take
over the market.

Alternatively… If you don’t have the patience for SEO… and want to use Google Adwords
to drive traffic immediately, you would ask IMeye to give you keyword phrases where:

Monthly search volume is greater than 150,000

Adwords CPC’s are < $0.20

Physical goods ARE being sold for this keyword

These queries would find cheap clicks where there’s enough volume to get 100 visitors per
day or so and where others are selling goods online. The idea would be to swoop in there
and take over!

Next… increasing Affiliate marketing revenue and finding new opportunities. For instance…

3. Looking for a new SEO project to increase and diversify your revenue?
You would ask IMeye to give you keyword phrases where:

Monthly search volume is Greater than 15,000

Competing pages < 500,000

Intitle competing pages < 50,000

You would take a look at those results and then sort them in descending order of search
volume. Think some gems will stand out there? Oh yes they will.

OR…let’s say you want to find some cheap click opportunities, you would ask IMeye to give
you keyword phrases where:

Monthly search volume is Greater than 150,000

Adwords “cheap click” CPC < .20

You would then take those results and sort them in ascending order of CPC. You’ll find
VAST sources of untapped traffic that you could use for any number of affiliate marketing
projects!

4. Want to market a particular Clickbank product through SEO ?

You would cherry pick the competitions’ keywords for Clickbank products by asking IMeye to
give you keyword phrases where:

Others have used the keyword phrase to market the CB product you’re interested in (e.g.
Fatloss4idiots)

The Monthly search volume is Greater than 15,000

Competing pages < 500,000

Intitle competing pages < 50,000
You would then sort them by anything you like and key right in on the best ones that have
the most volume and least competition.

5. Have an affiliate offer (e.g. CPA offer from Azoogle) that you want to promote through
Adwords ?

You would cherry pick the competitions’ keywords for affiliate offer categories by asking
IMeye to give you keyword phrases where:

Others have used the keyword phrase to market the category you’re after (e.g. Acne)

Monthly search volume is Greater than 150,000

Adwords “cheap click” CPC < .15
You’re now looking at proven keywords that have enough volume and are cheap enough for you
to buy traffic and make money with…simple as that.

AND THAT’S JUST A START…

There is so much more to IMeye and so many other ways that you could use this tool. Trying
to put a document together with all its uses would be like trying to document all the uses
of a hammer!

But hopefully this gives you a great idea of how flexible, complete, and incredibly powerful
this tool will be and how easy it could be used to dramatically increase your subscribers’
online revenue.

Now onto the important part…

If you see the value that I did… you can get this right now and stop slaving over keywords.
