PPC

I'm re-visiting PPC because someone asked me to share with him how to best use it... Well, I use Google Adwords, and I'll say that how you word your ads is what matters most when you use PPC.

However, we should not ignore the tools available, especially the tool to target relevant sites to show your ads. This is done when you create a new campaign (choose placement-targeted instead of keyword-targeted). Don't just look at the sites with lots of visits, but look at where the ads would appear, and if you are obsessed with your site's Page Rank, check out the targeted site's Page Rank before deciding to include it.

Your ad must basically be relevant to the keyword being searched or the targeted site being viewed. Of course, if the visitor can see value in your ad and there's a clear call to action, he/she would click through it and when he/she finds that your site too is relevant and in line with what your ad is promoting, then your chances of closing a deal is high =)

Hope this helps =)

Mindsetting: The Web Traffic Game...

You may still not be aware of this... To generate web traffic is the easy part. If you're focused on numbers, you are basically playing what we call the numbers game. You can generate traffic using offline means or spend some money for traffic. You can also borrow other people's traffic via ezines, joint ventures and the like... or get redirected traffic from writing articles for instance.
Now, there's no harm in playing a game. It actually makes making money online/offline easier and you won't be taking setbacks too badly when you treat it like a game. It's actually a good mindset to get into which can surprisingly attract a lot of traffic to yourself.

Gamers who love the games they play tend to excel in the games after some time. Even lousy gamers can become good gamers as long as they persevere in achieving their objectives and conquering the various levels. I'm not saying that playing a game is going to be plain sailing, but if you're willing to take the necessary steps to find out what works and what doesn't, you basically will find a way out!

It basically takes practice and coming out with certain strategies as you get more familiar with the game. If you're stuck at a certain level, you either give up or hang on long enough to figure out how you can overcome the obstacles.

Let's say you're now trying to make it online with a simple proven income stream, but you tell me that you're having problems getting people to even visit your site... What do you think is really wrong? Have you given up at some point?

Without hits, I know most people think they're out of business. Well, that's not true. It's actually almost impossible not to be able to get a hundred people to visit your site within a month (which could easily mean 1 person joining your business for that month) unless you're literally doing nothing, do not have a strong desire, are not focused and do not have clear goals.

You need to set your priorities right, set your goals on track, search the internet intelligently for ways within your budget to get people to your website like how you would do a research for a suitable vacation package for your family or the like, and keep yourself from being distracted from a decided task at hand... Seems like a lot of things to do... How much do you want to make it?

When you can get the numbers in, you can then get to the part where you show people how easy things really are, and they will join you in business. Only people who are not focused and not trying enough will experience difficulty getting traffic to their website and being on task.

Different tools and systems can vary in their effectiveness and which may also change over time. What works well today may not work as well a few months from now. The key is to keep testing until you find a set of ways that work to achieve your goals. Continue to track your campaigns in case there are changes you need to know about.

When you take generating traffic as a game, you unknowingly allow yourself to be more open to an endless sea of possibilities, and will learn to see openings where others only see closed doors. You may still be distracted, but in a surprisingly focused manner. You're basically focused on one topic: Web Traffic Generation. Your fears are easily conquered when you treat driving traffic to your website like a game. You tend not to surrender without a good persistent fight and you'll find that you'll have extra energy that can easily lead you to achieve what you might have thought unachievable in the past.

Don't take failures too seriously and life will become brighter and more meaningful in general.

How to Rank High on Google

To rank high on Google, your website has to be measured by “500 million variables and 2 billion terms” of Google’s equation, as stated on Google’s Corporate Information Technology Overview page. Google’s ranking system is based on a democracy, and the citizens are the links on the worldwide web that vote for each other. Not unlike our government today, many of these “links” are paid for, and some are of greater value. Ranking high on Google is playing politics. Links and Keywords are the key players in the ranking game. Google also takes into consideration the full content of the page including HTML codes, fonts, subdivisions and the “precise location of each word.”

Links are votes. You must develop a link strategy. Google likes linking things together. Create a rich network of links with distinct quality content. Your website must have quality links going out and coming in. Quality is the key word. Links from reputable pages (which ironically includes .gov pages) are given more weight than links on “link farm” pages. Linking to a “link farm” is one of the worst things you can do and can potentially get you deported off the web. The better the links, the better your ranking. Google will factor in your page content and the content of the pages you link to. Do your research. Google has a free page rank tool on their toolbar. Use it to find out the page ranking and visit the site.

Google also gives more weight to one-way links that lead to your site, and less weight to reciprocal links. How do you get these? Buy them. List yourself in a reputable directory listing. Make sure you are listed in the Open Directory Project (DMOZ.org). If you can’t buy links, write good content. Give someone a reason to link to your site. Again, the keyword is Quality. Submitting articles and press releases are also strategies in the linking game.

Keywords are your platform. They are what you stand for. Words count. Graphics don’t. Make sure your words are not in graphic form and make sure you have relevant titles under your graphics. Start with your title tag. Put everything you stand for in ten words or less. Make your URLs short and keyword specific. Brand yourself. If you type in soda, Mountain Dew will not show up on the first page. If you type in Mountain Dew, it will be on the first page. Brand yourself so users know what they are searching for. Do not put the same words in every heading and every tag. Be descriptive. Sell yourself. There are multitudes of free keyword rank and suggestion tools. Use them as a supplement to your knowledge of your company.

Think of every element in your website as words and pages in a presentation that is going to be up for a vote. Does everything fit? Is it all related? Are you a reputable company with a quality product? Does it sell? Now sell it. Google is waiting for you.

More Traffic More Sales?

More genuine hits can translate to more sales... Right? Wrong! It doesn't happen for most people, and that's the brutal truth.

Many are getting more skeptical and cautious, which is great. I know of many people who ask me to join this or that, but are not making a single red cent from those programs... They even go to the extent of spamming my optin pages with their autoresponder emails. Good thing I know how to filter them =) You think these people would be interested in real deal financial freedom?

Hardly so. When they know how much just a few of my income generators would cost initially, they would cringe and stay away... LOL

If you're really serious about generating traffic on complete autopilot, the best solution that would not deprive you of precious energy & moments with your family is to outsource it completely. You may not be able to do that initially, but just work towards it and visualize the financial freedom that you desire so much (which is why you're reading this) and you'll be making money like I do =)

Now, if you have money to spend, do not invest in HYIP programs. They are mostly scams. Invest it wisely where you can totally free up your own time & prepare to go from zero to hero! Doing this would save you the trouble of having to market endlessly online doing things that might become dreadful in the long run.

What kind of life do you want to live? Do you want to keep chasing after traffic in the long run? Or would you prefer to have quality leads month after month with Professional Closers to close sales for you 24/7...?

When you're thinking of driving traffic to your websites, think long term... think of how you can do that without ever having to touch your computer while you're on a vacation. Think of how you can also get people to answer all your calls for you... That's thinking big & thinking smart =)
