If you are into marketing on the Internet, you will be marketing a website of one kind or another. Maybe you own the URL of that web site or youre promoting a generic link which contains your affiliate code.

It doesn’t matter which scheme you operate, the problem is the same -how do you get enough interested visitors to your site, so that, if they want your product and have the money, they will have a chance to buy it, before they get bored and click away.

This is the largest common problem that every single Internet marketer has, and it is called attracting targeted traffic, getting relevant visitors or something similar. All the phrases come to the same thing ultimately. If no one sees your product they cannot buy it or if your visitors are mainly young people interested in tennis, it is no good trying to sell them bird cages.

Therefore, you obviously need as many visitors interested in your product, as you can handle. Which means that you need to be highly ranked in the search engines and directories so that people can find your site. The biggest and most often-used search engine is Google. So, how do you become highly ranked in Google?

There are millions of books and ebooks on the subject, but without exception, the serious ones come to the same conclusion (unless they were written by self-interested safe-list or traffic exchange owners) and that conclusion is that you need links to your site.

Very few people will honestly admit to knowing how Google ranks sites, but most people agree that the more sites linking to your site the better. This has lead some webmasters to try exchanging links with each other. It sounds an easy way to get links but Google can recognize reciprocal links. The best links are one-way links, because it demonstrates that someone values your site enough to want to be associated with it. These are called back links.

So, the real problem comes down to how to get enough back links to your site to persuade Google (and the other search engines) that you run such an important site that they should rank it highly for your chosen keywords, which should be relevant to the content of your website. How do you do that?

There are many strategies you can employ such as traffic exchanges, safelists, FFAs, forums and writing articles, but to be blunt, the first three of these are a total waste of time. I used to own a safelist and have wasted thousands of hours on traffic exchanges, all for nothing. Posting to forums can be worthwhile, but then ONLY if the link on your post is a follow link. If it is not, it doesnt do any good and most are no follow links. This means that you have to do some research to find the forums where it is worth you posting to (more on this later). That leaves writing articles as the ONLY sure way to get rock-solid back-links to your site based on relevant keywords.

So, you write an article on a subject relevant to your site stuffed (but not over-stuffed) with relevant keywords but then what do you do? Thats easy! You search Google for article directories, lists and blogs; sign up to a couple of dozen of the relevant ones or in the related categories and post your article to them.

And that is the way to get the sort of links to get your site highly ranked, so that people can find you and have a chance to buy what you are selling. The only catch is that Google will expect to see new links appearing on the Internet on a regular basis, which means writing and posting time after time after time after time ad infinitum. Or does it?

Yes, it does! But the process can be automated and automation is the key to online success. Set up a proven, successful process and let it run ” day and night: all day and all night! I use a system that helps you turn your article into thousands of variations and posts them to thousands of sites, creating thousands of back-links!

But do not think that these variations are spun! (The industry standard way of creating variations is to use spinning software to substitute synonyms and pseudo-synonyms eg yellowish for yellow in a random way. This works to a certain degree but can produce gibberish too). The system I use does not employ this method, but still produces thousands or variants all written by human hand. Then it sends them to article directories and blogs etc.. Thousands of them. In fact today, there are over 11,000 sites on their list and the list is kept fresh on a monthly basis. Most similar lists are not well maintained because it is so time-consuming. Therefore many contain lots of dead links.

This system takes your article, creates thousands of variations and then posts them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line, which is also variable. But not only that! It only posts your article to lists and categories that deal with sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you choose! So, for example, you could write three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 150 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 150 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 75 sites a day.

That would give your site at least 3,000 links in a month ” all for 2-3 hours work! If you wrote one article a day (an hours work) and had it posted to only 1,000 relevant sites, you would have 30,000 relevant links in a month. Imagine writing an article a day and having it go out to 50 sites a day! After 10 days you would have 500 extra links a day: 15,000 links a month! What about three hours work a day (three articles)? 45,000 extra links a month. Plus all the webmasters who would copy your articles to their sites, ezines and blogs. Just imagine the boost in sales that that would create!

If you want to see an example of this systems output, you have just read one ” this article and if you would like to find out more, follow the link in my by-line attached to it.

New business opportunities have grown in newly-invented sectors of activity with the development of the electronic market. How do people make money on the Internet? Well, it does not matter whether we are talking about businesses selling products or services, the basics of whether the Internet business is working or not is best judged by sales.

The extreme competition has forced small and large companies alike to develop all manner of methods to become or remain visible and profitable online. However, because the ways of achieving these goals are highly complex, a new sort of business has come about: the Internet marketing business. Who are these people and how can they assist with business promotion? Firstly, most people lack marketing knowledge and understand very little about the artifices used to promote a business, create a campaign and support a product or service at the top of a search engine listing.

Internet marketing businesses are most often made up of a team of people who have had good professional marketing education and who have made a profession out of studying the motion of the Internet as a reflection of real-life market transactions. The range of services provided by such companies is vast and comprehensive. Most of them can assist you with starting a business from scratch and building everything you require for online representation, beginning with the design of the web page. What the most service companies need from an Internet marketing business is the creation of marketing campaigns and their monitoring over an extensive length of time.

The objective of such campaigns is the growth of sales and general company profitability. However, there are different types of services that Internet marketing businesses can implement, depending on the requirements of the client. Therefore, you can concentrate on search engine marketing, keyword marketing, web site marketing strategies, sales leads, sales lead management et cetera.

The advertising campaign can get even more specific too, so there can be much more selective targeting. So, some companies need to convert visitors into leads, others want to improve their search engine ranking and small businesses very often want local or regional promotion etc..

And last but not at all least, Internet marketing businesses are often a very good source of tips for the more experienced website developers, who manage the optimization of a suite of their own sites themselves, but who still need tips on ways and means, methods and promotional techniques.

A good example is the choice of the software necessary to optimize a web page and monitor it constantly, improving the activity and increasing the company’s profitability. What is the criteria for recognizing a valuable piece of software? Well, it is not easy, but excellent software is frequently rather expensive, but it need not be very dear. It should automate quite a lot of the processes you require and it has to produce easily-understandable reports that enable you to alter your website.
