I have recently started using what I believe to be the greatest SEO tool on the market right now. I heard from a friend about the Unique Article Wizard.
I am actually under a confidentiality contract not to disclose exactly how it works, but I can explain what it does for you. In short, it submits articles that you write to thousands of article directories and gives you very valuable links back to your site.
I wrote 3 articles in under an hour, and the program was able to create over 2,100 articles from the content I wrote. And if you opt to, you can get some of the generated posts sent to your email or blog to give you unique content for them. At only $67 a month it is a very good deal if you actually use it.
There are other automated programs that submit to bookmarking sites and things like that, but those are very weak links that aren’t worth much in Google’s search engine. For maximum SEO you need relevant links. BMD is probably the most popular and it is $120, but again it only gets cheap links.
Writing the articles yourself is perfect because it gives you content that is completely relevant to your site and your niche. Relevant links will boost your Google ranking for that niche and ultimately make you money.
They also give a 100% money back guarantee so if you don’t like it you can just cancel the account and move on.
So it is completely worth it to give it a try. Just follow the link in my signature box that says Unique Article Wizard and sign up at the bottom of the page. Give it a try and write a few articles. If you don’t like it you can just get your money back. It’s simple and easy.
If you are like me you have spent countless hours on the internet looking for that next great opportunity so you can spend more time at home.

Without that step we may not of walked on the moon.
This could be the business opportunity that helps make 2009 the year of the dollar.
Give Your Audience What It Wants
Too many times a web master will create a site that has meaningless information about their business. The problem is, web traffic cares less about your business and more about the what they want. Don’t appeal to their interests, and you’ve lost them.
So how do you appeal to these visitors? The easy answer, “Give them what they want.” The more important question you should ask is, “What do my visitors want?” To answer this question, you need to research three imperatives, 1)Who are your visitors? 2)What attracted them to your site originally? 3) What do they want when they come to your site? Once you know who your visitors are, what attracted them and what they are interested in, it becomes very simple to attract and retain them.
So now your wondering how you find this out about your visitors. luckily there are plenty of tactics to help you do this. First tactic, just ask them. Find a way to speak to them and ask them, you’ll find that this is a very helpful tool. Another tactic is using analysis software like Google Analytics. This software is easy to set up, and can tell you mounds of valuable information about your visitors. These are very helpful ways to learn more about your visitors, and in turn, helps you to provide unique and very valuable content to them.
Build Traffic
By catering to your customers needs you’ll see an increase in traffic from past visitors returning to your site. But by extending your marketing reach you can compound the number of visitors your site will recieve. In this section we talk about some of the most important traffic building methods used by professionals each day.
If you want immediate traffic now, Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is the way to go. I offer a fair warning though, carelessness and lack of expertise can lead to a waste of your money. If you are new to PPC advertising we recommended to use a budget of $5 or less a day and use one of the most popular PPC systems: Google Adwords. One great benefit of using Google Adwords is that it connects directly to Google Analytics for extra detailed reporting. If done right, you’ll find PPC advertising as a very valuable tool in bringing in new sales every month.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is another must in traffic building for those who are serious about maximizing their profits. SEO is a way in which you can have your website ranked higher within search engines, thus creating more traffic to your website. SEO is done in two parts: First, your website must be search engine friendly. Second, there must be other websites linking to your site.
Monetize Your Website
As mentioned earlier, you want to make it quick and easy for your visitors to get what they want. On the other side of the coin, you need to make it easy for your visitors to do what you want them to do. For example, why make them click through endless pages to sign up for a membership or newsletter? The easier you make it for your visitors to do what you want, the more they will do it.
You can make it difficult for your visitors to make you money in many ways. Give them too many options to nonprofitable actions, making your navigation confusing and cluttering your web pages with random text and graphics. Get your customers attention to a profitable action by using varying degrees of contrast, color and font choice. When in doubt use different approaches on different pages and measure the results.
The number of methods you can use to increase customer action seems enless. A few of the many worthy mentionables are branding, cross promotion, A/B testing and improving your call-to-action. Remember, the higher the rate of visitor to customer conversion the more revenue your website will receive.
Partner with an Expert
Too often we look to do our web design and marketing ourselves, and sometimes as a result, we lose more money than we save. Unless you’re dedicated and experienced in this area of specialties, you will find yourself beneath your competition when it comes to building an effective website.
When search engines are crawling, they’re not only collecting information, they’re noting which sites they collect it from. And they place a value on the links that point to your site, referring to the value as a vote. That’s how they determine the content of your site. The link words are how they rate your importance and relevance. Links from some sites are rated higher than others. For instance, .gov or .edu are considered trusted sites and are more valuable, and thus will get bigger votes. PageRank sites will also get bigger votes. Basically, the stronger the site, the stronger the vote will be for an equal link from that site.
The fact that .edu text links are rated higher is mostly not in dispute, but occasionally there is a SEO provider that disagrees. In fact, there are a few successful industry players that insist that .edu links have no more value than any other type link. Ad Edutextlink.com we disagree. We have run test after test and the results clearly show that .edu text links are valued higher than others by search engines.
More evidence that .edu or .gov links are not treated the same by the search engines is the fact that they’re often ranked in the top 10, even when those sites are outdated or irrelevant. The fact is that .edu repeatedly ranks higher than standard links.
When you think about .edu links and what makes them rank higher, the answer is clear. If a new university were to open tomorrow, links from that site likely wouldn’t have much weight or value. But most of the .edu sites are very mature, huge, trusted sites that are full of information. And they have tens of thousands of inbound links and high PR. This is why the search engines are placing a weightier value on these links.
Its possible that the one or two lone SEOs that deny this value are confused. As long as we keep seeing great results, as long as our clients are rising up swiftly in search, as long as the links are in quality content, we will continue to sing the praises of a .gov or .edu link.
One obvious way to increase traffic is to improve your search engine rankings, which can be accomplished through a variety of methods. SEO/SEM firms specialize in doing this, and so if you are unfamiliar with how to do it on your own, consider hiring one of these firms to help you.
Social Media. Familiarize yourself with sites like Digg, Twitter, Mixx, DropJack, Plurk, Yahoo Buzz and other social media sites. Create profiles, and socially bookmark interesting articles, content, and pages on your site on a regular basis. Social media sites are powerful website promotion tools if utilized correctly.
Use other people’s network. Popular information products are found on Clickbank.com. You can create the same, and use people to refer business to you, while giving them a cut. Affiliate marketing is a great business, generating millions of dollars each day, and if you have a particular niche where people are hungry for information, and you can separate yourself with quality content, you’ll have an edge. Traffic can really take off.
Leverage existing network. Reach out to partners and ask to join / share in the mailing lists. You’d be surprised the amount of traffic and visibility it can yield. Make sure that it’s related to your business, and submit only quality information. A small promotional blurb on somebody else’s mailing list that carries distribution and authority, will not only help increase traffic to your site / page, but increase conversion to signups, downloads and sales.
Content / Article Marketing & Syndication. This is a fantastic way to get free backlinks to your site (one-way links) - but also showcase and share your information with your targeted audience. You can also get a following as an authority provider of information, and top article sites are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and buzzle.com. Make sure to create engaging content, and take the reader back to a page where you have a direct call to action (make them do something).
In all kinds of business, you need to maintain contact with customers, whether be it product update of feedback survey or conducting promotional campaign, you need to contact your clients.
The potential of MLM / Network Marketing online is tremendous, but the difference in geographical regions makes it difficult to connect with your downlines real time. But this difference can be easily solved by Email Marketing.
Doing MLM/ Network Marketing online, the first most important thing is collecting leads, most often through a opt-in form or squeeze page. These leads are targeted leads, which mean that they are people who are interested in your company or product.
These targeted leads will make up your future sale. They have seen your website, expressed their interest, but have not purchased. So you take their contact and update them of your company, new products, or promotions. This helps them to remember you, like how people think of Pizza Hut when they think of pizzas.
In order to maximise the results of your Email Marketing Campaign, you need to do more than just sending them information. There are more things to take note when you start your Email Marketing Campaign.
Email Pro
Take note of some points in order to make your emails professional.
- Who are you?
People will typically the sender of the Email before opening the mail. Therefore you should get a nice email address. Try not to use free email accounts from Yahoo, Msn, or Google. Let the readers identify you easily through your email adress. You can use emails like sales@yourcompanyname.com. This can be done very easily with your website hosting server.
The next factor that you shoud pay attention to is your subject line. Your subject must have the power to make people interested in your email. As a rule, keep it under 50 words.
- Body
In the Main body in your email, quickly identify yourself, and proceed to the main purpose of the email. If someone referred them to you, state the source of referral. Limit the use of fanciful pictures, make your email look profesisonal, unless you have a special style you portray in your website, keep it professional.
Increase The Effectiveness of Your Email
An effective email is more likely to increase traffic to your website. It also increases the returns on effort (that is for scripting the email). Here is 6 golden rules to make your email more effective;
- Focus on Branding
You need to brand yourself or the company in order to make people remember you. Good examples of branding are; The Rich Jerk, Success University, and many more. Stick with the brand image you created, and use it consistently in every email you send out. Put your Brand in the subject line, so people can recognise you instantly.
- Honesty
Be honest in your subject line. Don’t trick them to opening the email with misleading or false information. Be cautioned that it is a requirement to state accurate subject line.
- Instill Urgency
In order to make readers take action, you have to instill a sence of urgency in them to take action. Use time sensitive words like “Buy Now, While Stocks Last, Limited time, For first 100 sign ups only”.
- Entice them
To further entice them to open the email or action, offer them benefits to action. You can combine urgency and the benefits in the subject line.
- Keep to the limit
In your text, avoid using too many bold, capital letters, bright colors, and punctuation (referring to ! ). For the simplest reason, it makes your text very confusing and distracting. It also triggers spiders and filter to classify it as SPAM.
- K.I.S.S Keep It Short and Sweet.
Personally I limit my emails to the main points of my purpose. Of course you should practice your own discretion as to the audience and purpose of the email.
*P.S Include a unsubscribe tab for all your email correspondence. It is a legal requirement for all email newsletter to include the unsubscribe option to reduce SPAM.
The term SEO, or search engine optimization, is still an unknown to virtually everyone who doesn’t work in that field. Most people have never even heard of the term nor know what it refers to. But the more interesting part is that even within the SEO industry, not everyone agrees on how best to approach the problems SEO sets out to solve.
There are of course the basic guidelines: lots of content on site, properly formed meta tags, get inbound links, give outbound links appropriately, and strong site organization. But the reason SEO continues to be more of an art than a scientific method is because there is no one way to accomplish these things. Exactly how much content does a site need, and how many times does a keyword need to be on a page? How many inbound links do I need and how do I get them? Are paid links ok? Are comment links ok? What makes a good title tag? A good h1 tag? Am I doing anything else wrong that will hurt my rankings?
Most professional SEO providers will provide their client a level of detailed in-depth report similar to one another. But that’s where much of the similarity ends. While most will not have any outright conflicting advise, their content and their approach will be different. If you polled 10 providers for reports, you’d likely get 10 different versions.
This makes the industry exciting for the SEO organizations. It makes performing SEO well a challenge, not just a standard checklist that you can use. No magical software to plug the site into and get all the right answers. Every site is different. Every day at work is different. And not to mention the suspense of not knowing immediately if it is working. An SEO provider gets no grade except improved rankings and traffic for the client, which take time to build and fluctuate daily.
The mystery of SEO also makes it hard on a layman though. It is nearly impossible to perform truly stellar SEO work to your own site, because the finesse it requires only comes with volumes of clients under your belt. Further it makes it harder for a layman to choose an SEO provider, and to know if the changes his SEO wants him to do are right answers. It requires a leap of faith and at least a basic understanding of SEO to dive into it.
Website design is the most crucial tool in your online business. A bad website will piss people off, and a good website will attract and retain visitors and convert traffic into sales. Here are 5 steps to website design for your MLM business.
Step 1: Choosing a Domain Name
You may be fun and cool to get an interesting domain like “information4u.com” but this kind of names do not fare well on search, because nobody search for such words. You should use high search keywords in your domain.
Step 2: Choose your Colors
In your website, you can use certain tactics to catch readers’ attention to certain important words. You can use bright colors and bold letterings to catch the attention of skimmers and to create emphasis.
While trying to create emphasis, try to refrain from creating too many emphasis areas. Don’t use too many bolds and colors. Too many bolds and colors will confuse your readers, ultimately you only need readers to read areas and information that may contribute to a sale.
Step 4: Structure of Content
It is also very important to ensure easy reading through your website. Consider the flow of information. Structure your content in a smooth flow and ensure smooth transition between parts.
Step 5: Opt-In Form
Consider adding an opt-in form to collect email address to follow up with future product launch or information. Offer a free trial or free download to entice them to leave their email.
After having done many websites, I realize a potential trap that all business owners face when they build their own website. That is the adding of fancy gadgets into the website. But remember, you should focus on building your traffic and improve on your contents before adding fancy gadgets trying to impress your visitors.
Test your website for the conversion rates, if it doesn’t convert traffic into sales you probably need to change some elements in your website. So it is also good to do A/B testing for your website.
There is no point of having a beautiful site if nobody visits it and buys from it.
I have to say if you can figure out the technique, there is money to be made from article marketing. If you have studied the internet and SEO at all in the recent past, you would know that articles really are the way to go right now. I like to use it to promote all of my websites.

The search engines really like article marketing and they will reward the webmaster who takes the time to write articles.
I agree that article marketing is a great way to drive free traffic to your website. There is so much information now days, on the internet, however, that does cause the amount of traffic to be limited from article marketing.
