Blogging is probably one of the best ways to get fresh new content to your website. Search engines look only for one thing and you guessed it right, content. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your website is because when bots scour your website, they look for keywords and content.

Before you start blogging, there are a few key areas to look at to ensure your website or blog gets traffic.

1. Use Social Bookmarking Websites

If you’ve heard of Onlywire or SocialBookmarker, use their services to instantly get your blog or articles on them. You will need to register to all the social bookmarking website but it is definitely worth the effort and your time. Do this consistently and you will see more traffic to your website and more backlinks. Most social bookmarking websites have very high traffic and good PR rankings.

2. The Power Of Videos

Videos have a much higher chance of getting good ranks then articles or content. You might notice that when you are searching for something like weight lost. You will find some videos on dieting and losing weight in the 1st page of Google. Again, do keyword research for your video title and make a good video. You don’t necessarily have to use Youtube. Other high traffic video websites include Metacafe, Hulu.com, or even Google Video.

3. Keyword Research

Before you start posting anything take some time to research on keywords. Don’t write something unspecific like “Golfing For Everyone”. Go to Google Keywords and search for Golfing and see which keyword has high traffic. Do not go for keywords that have too much competition. I say go for those that has an average of 10,000 to 50,000 searches a month. If you go beyond that, it would be very difficult to get into the first few pages of search engines. So again to quote the above example, it is better to write something like “10 Tips To Play Golf Better”.

This applies to any niche and not just the golfing niche.

Once you’ve chosen the right keyword. Try using it in your body(content) also. Do not repeat the main keyword too often. Try varying it and use them across your article. Search engines give more weight to your Title and the first few paragraphs of your article. Less emphasis is given to what’s at the bottom of your article.

4. Use Social Bookmarking Websites

If you’ve heard of Onlywire or SocialBookmarker, use their services to instantly get your blog or articles on them. You will need to register to all the social bookmarking website but it is definitely worth the effort and your time. Do this consistently and you will see more traffic to your website and more backlinks. Most social bookmarking websites have very high traffic and good PR rankings.

5. Rewrite Articles

You might have hundreds or 40 articles on your blog. Sometimes you might run into the problem of not knowing what to write. When you encounter this “writer’s block”, search for inspiration elsewhere. For example, rewriting your previous articles or finding PLR articles and rewrite them. Doing this can also help give you fresh articles to post onto article directories. Bear in mind there are some article directories which has strict quality control, so you need to ensure you article still remains unique and doesn’t look as if its written by someone else.

As you can see it does not have to take a lot of time to do a quality blog post. You don’t even have to do them every day. If you are willing to spend 30 minutes or so three times a week it can really pay off for you in terms of new traffic and repeat traffic to your Internet business.

The make money from home community, now promote products using a very modern new traffic method, cell phones. The traditional traffic methods have a new member in the camp to drive traffic to affiliate offers.

The affiliate can not only send ads to the phones the customer can also reply back to the affiliate by the same route. The affiliate just has to obtain an account by signing up to a phone service provider. There are several companies that offer this service.

On receiving an account, the affiliate then sets up a PPC like campaign. They can place ads like ‘Would you like to make 20K a Month?’ etc. These type of ads appear all day long on phones, the hope is that you catch the attention of someone who touches the add and then off they go to an affiliate offer.

The phones however, do not like imbedded videos so, you need to avoid them. To get the customer to your offer if it does contain a video, it is necessary to introduce a squeeze page between the phone and the offer.

The Pay Per Touch cost of the cell phones is just a fraction of PPC so, your budget will stretch much further. You can control you daily budget as you would with PPC but be aware some of the daily limits are quite high and for your ads to appear your account has to be in credit, so be ready with the credit card.

Cell phone advertising is a really good alternative to PPC, whether it replaces PPC is still to be seen. My daily beget seemed to get eaten up quite quickly so the sales copy has to be good. With a potential worldwide audience, cell phone marketing is definitely another traffic source to consider.

Video is a very powerful tool. Faster connections are making video mainstream and user friendly software has made videos very easy and cost effective to make. Not only are they fun to make but they can drive an avalanche of increased web traffic to your site. Video is becoming more popular too. Besides the obvious clue of Google buying YouTube, most of my friends spend more time online than watching TV.

What does video do?

• Video will build quality, long lasting, free traffic to your website.

• It encourages relationships with potential clients in a natural way.

• It dramatically increases your ranking in the search engines.

Ideas for making videos:

• Your video is basically a commercial. You can get ideas for videos by watching commercials on TV and looking at how your top ranking competition uses them.

• Keep it simple, pleasant and fun. Paint a picture of what you want to say. Don’t be pushy with your sales.

• Keep it short and sweet. Say a lot in a few minutes. People’s time is valuable.

• If you are going in front of the camera yourself, rehearse what you are going to say so it looks professional. Edit it if you need to.

• If you don’t want to stand in front of the camera yourself, you can easily make a slideshow with music or narration. Some software, like Animoto, can make a compelling production of what could be a boring slide show.

There are many kinds of videos you could make. You could film:

• a how to video

• a product review.

• an interview

• an interactive conversation

• a testimonial

• a nature feature

• a meditational short with narration

• a list of most popular or favorite things

• many other things

Tips for making your videos more visible:

• Make it easy for search engines and people to find you. Your URL, logo and credits will accomplish this. Link it to social websites and emails.

• Post your video to the many video hosting sites online for the most effect. This can take a lot of time but it is worth it. You can also buy inexpensive software to automate the process and get your video productive for you in no time. (You tube video on this. Traffic Geyser)

• Make sure you add keywords to your video when you put it up. They should be carefully researched for supply and demand. Write a keyword rich description too.

Video is just one of the ways to increase online traffic. There are many other ways to jump start web site traffic generation. But it can be one of the most explosive in terms of generating online traffic.

Did you know that you can make money online without even having your own website? If you love to write great articles then you already have all of the tools you need to make money with affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing?

There are many companies selling products online in many different niches. In order to promote their products to the widest audience possible they offer an affiliate programme. This allows you to sign up as an affiliate and earn a commission for promoting other people’s products.

Here are just some of the benefits of being an affiliate marketer:

You don’t need to create a product of your own

You don’t have to worry about customer service

You don’t have to spend time optimising sales pages

You don’t need to build a website

You just promote the product and then collect your commission payments

You should be able to find an affiliate product to promote in pretty much any niche. Amazon is a good place to start your search if you’d like to promote tangible products; if you’d prefer to promote digital products then head over to Clickbank.

What have articles got to do with affiliate marketing?

I know what you’re thinking, how can you promote a product without a website. The answer is so simple you’ll be surprised; you just have to direct people from your article resource boxes straight to the product owner’s sales page.

You don’t have to worry about hosting fees, or building a website you just do what you do best, write good quality, well-researched articles and submit them to article directories. It’s just instead of the bio box link pointing to your own site it points to someone else’s.

Now here is a tip for you. You are going to spend a lot of time and effort writing articles and building links to the other person’s website so you need to be sure that the product is going to convert well and be available for a long time. And the problem is that you cannot guarantee that. It’s easy to overcome though.

Go to a domain seller like GoDaddy or NameCheap and buy a domain that suits your niche. You don’t need to spend a lot as you can sometimes pick up a .info domain for just 99 cents. Now you just need to log into your domain manager and forward the domain to your affiliate link. Consult the help option at your domain seller if you don’t know how to do this.

You now have a neat link that you can include in your resource boxes and the added benefit that if the product you are promoting closes down or just doesn’t convert well you can just point that link at another affiliate sales page!

Blogs are the website to use for fast online promotion of your content.

But as always, there is room for improvement. So how can we build a more search engine efficient blog? Here are the basic points you must cover:

1. Search Engine friendly Site Structure

The main feature a website, especially blogs, must possess is rapid access to content for both visitors and SEs.

This basically translates in limiting to a bear minimum the number of clicks from the index page to individual content pages.

Half of the battle is won simply by getting visitors to read your stuff. Then you must seek to prolong their attention span by referencing additional related content with links scattered in the text body.

Just as important, be sure to install the “related posts” plugin to redirect readers towards other pieces of content, once they finished reading the post.

Making your blog look and feel more like a spider web with all sections interconnected helps improve site’s overall buoyancy in the SERPs and not only for individual content pages that happens to be better optimized.

Have your blog categorized around top money keywords. As it gains authority it will eventually rank for representative terms whether they’re money keywords or subjects for great informational content that generates leads and prospects on an ongoing basis.

However, be sure not to overlap the category pages with tag pages. For instance; if you tag something “dog training” don’t include it on your “dog training” category. Keep your categories to a minimum but also compact and laser focused.

2. Link Out to Related Blogs and Build Backlinks

A proven way of increasing authority and trust with the SEs is not to be cheap with linking out to relevant content to yours. Let’s face it; you can’t possibly know or cover it all.

Search engines don’t see with good eyes those little islands of content that try to build back links without giving some of the link juice back to the community.

Dofollow linking should be used when referencing related content. Nofollow tags are getting more and more overlooked, at least by Yahoo and MSN. The reason lies in their failure to effectively fight spam -their very own reason of being, in the first place.

As far as your own back links, these can be created with consistent blog commenting, guest posting on representative blogs in your industry and blog directories submission.

Addressing this last issue, keep in mind that for the top directories a first submission will most probably not result in an inclusion, especially if your blog is newly launched (< 1 year).

Just insist with future submission requests because the lower the acceptance rate the more valuable such a back link is.

3. Stay Away From Duplicate Content

Thanks to a wide range of SEO plugins, onsite duplicate content has stopped being a problem for blogging platforms. In addition to this, Google has improved its technique of dealing with blogs by recognizing blog areas where duplicate content might appear.

Off site dupe content, entertained by content scrappers, can be counteracted and even made it generate some collateral free back links, by simply using absolute linking (vs. relative linking) when referring past content within the text body. This way references remain active even after content was scrapped.

4. Generate XML Sitemaps

XML maps are destined to let search engines know when they can index newly created webpages. Major, major leap forward as compared to static websites that get indexed a lot rarely and with little depth.

The final part of this article on SEO for blogs is published on the search engine optimization category of my educational blog, TrafficCpanel.com.

As an online marketer, you must know the two important things you need to know about affiliate marketing. I assume that you are one of those people who want to make a lot of money so you can work at home without ever having to put on a suit and tie and going to the office. And let’s not deny that we are all dreaming of a financial break through that will lead us to get out of debt and be a successful online marketer.

The first thing you need to keep in mind at all times about affiliate marketing is: content rules. You must know how to make your own content and how to come up with quality articles that will benefit the reader. Your goal is to get surfers to look at your website and to have it be beneficial for them It should not that hard for them to understand and easy for them to navigate through your site. Try not to put too much content that they get tired of reading and make sure you hold their attention. So I always share where they can find free stuff and or where they can join for free as with this site you are already on.

The second most important thing is to gain links that point to your site, which will bounce you up in search engine ratings. I like to use a SEO tool/software that will create the back links for me. The software is very easy to use and it enables me to save a lot of work, I mean like over 100 hours of work in a little as 5-6 hours. Make sure the links are always from web pages that focus on the same topic as the articles they point to, otherwise you are going to lose points with the search engines and that should be avoided at all costs.

So, let’s get started by picking a niche market, identify some topics and start writing. Get about 10 articles up on your website, get links for every one of them and then keep an eye out and see if people like them or not. Every morning re-read one of the articles and see if your writing style is really easy to understand and if your ideas stand out from the text.

After so many weeks of doing this re-read your first articles once more. I am perfectly sure that you will be surprised of how poorly written they may seem. Feel free to re-write them, or to write new ones that focus on the same topics and solutions, but with a different approach and wording. Don’t strive express your own individual thoughts and use original creative writing that will draw in your reader and have them feel connected to you as their teacher.

Soon, you will notice that your site is getting a lot of attention because of the friendly message that you are conveying to your student and friends. Keep everything simple and make sure your pages can be accessed easily by surfers who don’t land on your main page. Having a website that doesn’t look slick, but has loads of good content tells people that you are a real person and that you aren’t trying to pull anything. I like to try to share the exact steps I use to make money on line and achieve success.

Marketing campaigns, flashing banners and slick ads are nice, but you don’t really have to have them although I find them to be a little more informative about the service that the product will deliver. You can do well Just by writing good articles and getting many links. You should try to add a few more links every two to three days. Then continue to write more articles that will bring your friends to the next level. To get a look and see a sample of one of my favorite blogs where I found lots of good information is at this blog here

Your goal as an online marketeer is to repeat this until your website becomes a mandatory stop for people who want to be well-informed on the topic you’ve chosen. The links and surfer clicks will give you good ratings and the original content will make you unique.

Write good articles, put in plenty of keywords (don’t use them blatantly), make sure the links to the merchant website stand out and get other websites to link to you. That’s all you need to know to make a lot of money on the internet to get tons of website traffic to start your own small business at home.

So there you go, the big list of tasks that you need to do in order to become a successful affiliate marketer. Sounds too simple? Well, it sort of is simple, but not as simple as you’d expect. Be determined to learn everyday and you don’t have to spend a lot of money. Whatever you can afford and make the most of your options.

What you need to do is to write good articles that can really answer the questions your readers have in mind. This means finding a topic, becoming thoroughly acquainted with it and analyzing possible solutions.
