7 Places to Get Web Traffic -- (1) SEO

Posted by BKamau in Untagged 

In this series we have talked about the best places to get web traffic. We mentioned the number one way to get web traffic is on the search engines. We mentioned different forms of Search Engine Traffic and how you can choose between SEO, PPC, and learning it yourself.

Today I want to share a little more about SEO.

SEO stands for search engine optimization. It is a way of getting good rankings in Google in what's known as the organic results.

Organic results is just a fancy way of saying the regular site listings without bidding or paying for better visibility. These are the listings on the left hand side of the search engine result pages or SERPs and below the sponsored results on the top.

60% of web users first surf the organic results on the search engines before using the sponsored listings. Users feel many times that the organic result listings have more value because the search engines rank them according to relevance.

Most searchers don't feel advertisers are as useful to their searches and view them with caution. On the other hand organic search listings are many times seen as reviewed by a 3rd party for topical to their searches.

This is why organic search visibility is important for your website to achieve. We will touch more upon this in a couple of days.

Search Engines Gateway to the Internet

Posted by BKamau in Internet marketingBlackAfrican American

In a Blog I made last week I talked about 7 effective
ways to increase your website traffic. I wanted
to talk about the first type today: search engine
traffic.

Search engines could be understood as the gateway
to the Internet. In technologically developed
countries the Internet has reached market
penetration of about 50%.

So right away if you have a business that is on
the Internet but not getting search engine traffic
you are losing at losing at least 50% of potential
business.

No business can survive losing 50% of its prospects.
This is why investing in getting search engine
traffic is so crucial. You can invest in getting
search engine traffic in 3 ways:

(1) Hire a search engine optimizer (SEO) expert

(2) Hire a Pay Per Click (PPC) consultant or ad agency

(3) Learn Search Engine Promotion Yourself

Contact me if you would like SEO or PPC help by replying
to this email.

promotion yourself check out...

P.S. If you order the book today you will get a free copy
of Tube Traffic which shows you how to route some of YouTube's
7 Billion monthly visitors to your site. This is a great
deal.

I'll write later in the week.

Have a Blessed Profitable Day,

Turn Lemons into Lemonade

Posted by BKamau in Untagged 

All of us as entrepreneurs will have disappointments.  We
by definition run a business at a personal risk.

In business we realize the 80/20 rule in many aspects of
what we do.  And we understand 20 percent of our efforts
will yield 80% of our sales results.

Just take it to heart that when you try something new to
expand your business or get financing there is an 80%
chance that you may fail.  Therefore, failure becomes
your friend.

Because with time you learn what works for you and what
doesn't.  Then you drop the things that don't work and
adapt the things that do work.

Don't get bitter or sour about your failures.  Look
forward to some failure as a path to become more
successful.

Turn bitter or sour lemon experiences in your business
and turn them into lemonade.  For instance I just
experienced one of the worst periods in my life.

I was diagnosed with a form of cancer and underwent
4 surgeries and 9 weeks of chemo.  I spent a lot of
time waiting for doctors and recuperating.

Rather than getting bitter I put together my eBook at
RaiseCashFast.com which is turning into a huge suc.cess.

I took a very bad situation and turned it into something
valuable.  When life throws you some sour bitter events
turn lemon into lemonade.

P.S. I look forward to sending you some valuable fr.e.e
gif.ts next week to help with marketing your biz online.


Have a pro.fitable day,

Kamau

Don't Sleep On Your Business Financing

Posted by BKamau in Untagged 

Dear Izania Friends and Associates,

Thank you for your support and encouragement for
my new eBook Raise-Cash-Fast. I have received
a lot of positive feed back from Izaniz members who
have invested in the multimedia training course on
how to raise capital for your business.

Picture of Raise Cash Fast eBook

To see what other Business Leaders had to say about
RaiseCashFast go to...
http://www.RaiseCashFast.com

Since raising capital for your business is the biggest
and most persistent ongoing battle your business will
face I wanted to reach out to some of you one more time.

Most people think the SBA will be their for them when
they are ready for a loan to grow or expand their business.

This just isn't the case in most circumstances. SBA loan
guaranties are administered by conservative banks and
therefore many small or emerging businesses don't
qualify.

Financial brokers won't help you unless you are looking for
$500,000 or more and you still need good credit, collateral,
experience in the business and an excellent business plan.

You need creative strategies to get the capital you need and
thats what I'd like to share with you with Raise Cash Fast.

Don't wait until you are in a desperate situation looking for
cash it will be too late. You have to start planning for cash
infusions and raising capital in the initial stages of planning
your business.

I reveal how to work with nonprofits funded by the government
and major corporations to help finance small business. Just
one of my sources has giving out over 12.9 Billion dollars in
loans

How can You Really Make Money in Affiliate Marketing?

Posted by BKamau in web marketingInternet marketingBusiness financebusinessAfrican American

A recent person in a forum asked if one could really make money
with Affiliate Programs.

They seemed really demoralized with the whole process.

The following is some of my experience with Affiliate programs.

I can feel this writer's pain. I have been there done that.

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person who for years
tried everything to get some affiliate sales. I began to
feel the affiliate business was just bull.

I did some SEO research and discovered a niche that had a
lot of traffic. I went to Click Bank and found some
products.

Then I started to sell an eBook in my niche. However the
companies weren't reputable and Click Bank got rid of them.

I tried to do a direct partnership deal but got ripped off
for my commissions. Later I began to do well with Adsense
and partnered with people with good products and created
affiliate programs. Some of these people never considered
their own affiliate programs before.

Eventually I created my own products. But it all starts
with finding a niche people are passionate about. You can
tell this type of niche by search traffic and the number of
ads carried on Adwords.
