Paid URL Inclusion

There are many ways to promote your website and one of the most efficient ways is to use search engines. Search engines are the first stop for most people trying to find information, services, and products online. Because of this, it is essential that your website appears quickly in search results.

The Internet contains numerous search engines, some of which offer what is known as "paid inclusion." This means that you pay the specific search engine an annual fee for your web page to be included in their index. Of course, every search engine already has an automated program commonly called a "spider" that indexes all the web pages it locates online, and it does this for free. So whether you pay or not, your web page will eventually be

indexed by all Internet search engines, as long as the spider can follow a link to your page. The major issue is, then, how quickly your page is indexed. A search engine that offers a paid URL inclusion uses an extra spider that is programmed to index the particular pages that have been paid for. The difference between the spider that indexes pages for free and the spider that indexes only pages for a fee is speed. If you have paid for inclusion, the dditional search engine spider will index your page immediately.

The debate over paid URL inclusion centers around the annual fee. Since the regular spider of these search engines would eventually get around to indexing your web page anyway, why is a renewal fee necessary? The fee is necessary to keep your pages in the search engine's index. If you go the route of paid inclusion, you should be aware that at the end of the pay period, on some search engines, your page will be removed from their index for a certain amount of time.

It's easy to get confused about whether you would benefit from paid inclusion since the spider of any search engine will eventually index your page without the additional cost. There are both advantages and disadvantages to paid URL inclusion, and it is only by weighing your pros and cons that you will be able to decide whether to spring for the extra cash or not.

The advantages are obvious: rapid inclusion and rapid re-indexing. Paid inclusion means that your pages will be indexed quickly and added to search results in a very short time after you have paid the fee. The time difference between when the regular spider will index your pages and when the paid spider will is a matter of months. The spider for paid inclusion usually indexes your pages in a day or two. Be aware that if you have no incoming links to your pages, the regular spider will never locate them at all.

Additionally, paid inclusion spiders will go back to your pages often, sometimes even daily. The advantage of this is that you can update your pages constantly to improve the ranking in which they appear in search engines, and the paid URL inclusion spider will show that result in a matter of days.

 

First and foremost, the disadvantage is the cost. For a ten page website, the costs of paid URL inclusion range from $170 for Fast/Lycos to $600 for Altavista, and you have to pay each engine their annual fee. How relevant the cost factor is will depend on your company.

Another, and perhaps more important, disadvantage is the limited reach of paid URL nclusions. The largest search engines, Google, Yahoo, and AOL, do not offer paid URL inclusion. That means that the search engines you choose to pay an inclusion fee will amount to a small fraction of the traffic to your site on a daily basis.

Google usually updates its index every month, and there is no way you can speed up this process. You will have to wait for the Google spider to index your new pages no matter how many other search engines you have paid to update their index daily. Be aware that it is only after Google updates their index that your pages will show up in Google, Yahoo, or AOL results.

One way to figure out whether paid URL inclusion is a good deal for your company is to consider some common factors. First, find out if search engines have already indexed your

pages. To do this, you may have to enter a number of different keywords, but the quickest way to find out is to enter your URL address in quotes. If your pages appear when you enter the URL address but do not appear when you enter keywords, using paid inclusion will not be beneficial. This is because your pages have already been indexed and ranked by the regular spider. If this is the case, your money would be better spent by updating your pages to improve your ranking in search results. Once you accomplish this, you can then consider using paid inclusion if you want to speed up the time it will take for the regular spider to revisit your pages.

The most important factor in deciding whether to use paid URL inclusion is to decide if it's a good investment. To figure this out, you have to look at the overall picture: what kind of product or service are you selling and how much traffic are you dependent on to see a profit?

If your company sells an inexpensive product that requires a large volume of traffic to your site, paid inclusion may not be the best investment for you; the biggest search engines do not offer it, and they are the engines that will bring you the majority of hits. On the other hand, if you have a business that offers an expensive service or product and requires a certain quality of traffic to your site, a paid URL inclusion is most likely an excellent investment.

Another factor is whether or not your pages are updated frequently. If the content changes on a daily or weekly basis, paid inclusion will insure that your new pages are indexed often and quickly. The new content is indexed by the paid spider and then appears when new relevant keywords are entered in the search engines. Using paid inclusion in this case will guarantee that your pages are being indexed in a timely manner.

You should also base your decision on whether or not your pages are dynamically generated. These types of pages are often difficult for regular spiders to locate and index.

Paying to include the most important pages of a dynamically generated website will insure that the paid spider will index them.

Sometimes a regular spider will drop pages from its search engine, although these pages usually reappear in a few months. There are a number of reasons why this can happen, but by using paid URL inclusion, you will avoid the possibility. Paid URL inclusion guarantees that your pages are indexed, and if they are inadvertently dropped, the search engine will be on the lookout to locate them immediately.

As you can see, there are numerous factors to consider when it comes to paid URL inclusion. It can be a valuable investment depending on your situation. Evaluate your business needs and your website to determine if paid URL inclusion is a wise investment for your business goals.

A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer

Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this…

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on.

The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate's conversion rates.

That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program.

Time to track down the sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future.

There are lots of resources to sort out. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. Best to stay visible and accessible too.

The affiliate marketer remembered that there are questions to answer from the visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than an unanswered email.

To prove that the affiliate is working effectively and efficiently, inquiries would have to be paid more attention on. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too.

In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those under that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products.

There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process. Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead.

The newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer's publication to be distributed to the old and new customers.

These same publications are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications.

It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked.

Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already.

The marketer still has time to write out recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabees.

Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.

Time flies. Missed lunch but is quite contented with the tasks done. Bed time….

Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day.

Is that success looming in the distance or what?

3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online

 

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.

There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.
   

   Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.
   

   You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.
   

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
   

   Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.
   

   Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word "free" because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.
   

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.
   

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.

Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…

Analyzing Website Traffic

Analyzing your web traffic statistics can be an invaluable

tool for a number of different reasons. But before you can

make full use of this tool, you need to understand how to

interpret the data.

 

Most web hosting companies will provide you with basic web

traffic information that you then have to interpret and

make pertinent use of. However, the data you receive from

your host company can be overwhelming if you don't

understand how to apply it to your particular business and

website. Let's start by examining the most basic data - the

average visitors to your site on a daily, weekly, and

monthly basis.

 

These figures are the most accurate measure of your

website's activity. It would appear on the surface that the

more traffic you see recorded, the better you can assume

your website is doing, but this is an inaccurate

perception. You must also look at the behavior of your

visitors once they come to your website to accurately gauge

the effectiveness of your site.

 

There is often a great misconception about what is commonly

known as "hits" and what is really effective, quality

traffic to your site. Hits simply means the number of

information requests received by the server. If you think

about the fact that a hit can simply equate to the number

of graphics per page, you will get an idea of how overblown

the concept of hits can be. For example, if your homepage

has 15 graphics on it, the server records this as 15 hits,

when in reality we are talking about a single visitor

checking out a single page on your site. As you can see,

hits are not useful in analyzing your website traffic.

 

The more visitors that come to your website, the more

accurate your interpretation will become. The greater the

traffic is to your website, the more precise your analysis

will be of overall trends in visitor behavior. The smaller

the number of visitors, the more a few anomalous visitors

can distort the analysis.

 

The aim is to use the web traffic statistics to figure out

how well or how poorly your site is working for your

visitors. One way to determine this is to find out how long

on average your visitors spend on your site. If the time

spent is relatively brief, it usually indicates an

underlying problem. Then the challenge is to figure out

what that problem is.

 

It could be that your keywords are directing the wrong type

of visitors to your website, or that your graphics are

confusing or intimidating, causing the visitor to exit

rapidly. Use the knowledge of how much time visitors are

spending on your site to pinpoint specific problems, and

after you fix those problems, continue to use time spent as

a gauge of how effective your fix has been.

 

Additionally, web traffic stats can help you determine

effective and ineffective areas of your website. If you

have a page that you believe is important, but visitors are

exiting it rapidly, that page needs attention. You could,

for example, consider improving the link to this page by

making the link more noticeable and enticing, or you could

improve the look of the page or the ease that your visitors

can access the necessary information on that page.

 

If, on the other hand, you notice that visitors are

spending a lot of time on pages that you think are less

important, you might consider moving some of your sales

copy and marketing focus to that particular page.

 

As you can see, these statistics will reveal vital

information about the effectiveness of individual pages,

and visitor habits and motivation. This is essential

information to any successful Internet marketing campaign.

 

Your website undoubtedly has exit pages, such as a final

order or contact form. This is a page you can expect your

visitor to exit rapidly. However, not every visitor to your

site is going to find exactly what he or she is looking

for, so statistics may show you a number of different exit

pages. This is normal unless you notice a exit trend on a

particular page that is not intended as an exit page. In

the case that a significant percentage of visitors are

exiting your website on a page not designed for that

purpose, you must closely examine that particular page to

discern what the problem is. Once you pinpoint potential

weaknesses on that page, minor modifications in content or

graphic may have a significant impact on the keeping

visitors moving through your site instead of exiting at the

wrong page.

 

After you have analyzed your visitor statistics, it's time

to turn to your keywords and phrases. Notice if particular

keywords are directing a specific type of visitor to your

site. The more targeted the visitor - meaning that they

find what they are looking for on your site, and even

better, fill out your contact form or make a purchase - the

more valuable that keyword is.

 

However, if you find a large number of visitors are being

directed - or should I say misdirected - to your site by a

particular keyword or phrase, that keyword demands

adjustment. Keywords are vital to bringing quality visitors

to your site who are ready to do business with you. Close

analysis of the keywords your visitors are using to find

your site will give you a vital understanding of your

visitor's needs and motivations.

 

Finally, if you notice that users are finding your website

by typing in your company name, break open the champagne!

It means you have achieved a significant level of brand

recognition, and this is a sure sign of burgeoning success.

Making Money with Articles: Becoming an Affiliate

 

If you can either write articles or have the promotion and marketing knowledge to publicize articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a good income right from your own home. You can do this by receiving part of the revenue off of sales that the company gets from people who "click through" from your website via the company's links that are placed on your pages.

Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will need a killer sales pitch and website content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, and to keep them coming back to your website time and time again for more recommendations and your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links once again. Although many affiliate companies only give you money off of the first sale you make from each customer, you have the option of promoting a good range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning customers.

If you cannot write this kind of content of your own, there are many ways to pick up free or paid content to place on your affiliate website. There are many reasons why paying for such articles would be to your advantage. First, you will be able to tell the writer exactly what you want, what product you are trying to sell, and what direction they can go in to keep your readers interested and informed. On the other hand, when you search for free content, you are limited to what is already out there. Secondly, you will own the copyright to this content. That means that no one else can reuse it without your consent. If you opt for free content, you will be sharing that content with an unknown amount of other affiliate websites, plus the original author will be able to place their byline at the bottom of the article which could result in them stealing your traffic.

There are many products that have nice affiliate commission rates for those who know how to pre-sale their product and deliver click through customers who are ready to buy. As long as you choose to promote a product or service that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then pre-selling your chosen company may not be that hard at all. The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your website so that they have a chance to see your recommendations and click on your affiliate links.

Making Money with Articles: Article Directories

Article directories are websites that house free articles. These articles are usually put there by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotion method. Each article has the owners byline placed under it so that those who eventually read the article will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be able to get in contact with or visit their website for further information.

Articles directories are a great place to put your articles so that they will make you money. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example for you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit.

Let's take a real life example. Imagine that you are an accountant working from home. You write an article on an accounting topic and place it on various article directories. Those who are looking for the subject you wrote about will read your article, see that you have the knowledge and skill that is needed to do a job for them, and visit your website or contact you via e-mail. Your article just gained you a new client who may use your services regularly, but will definitely give you a nice profit at least once.

Furthermore, since you have posted it on a free article directory, others who have affiliate websites about accounting will inevitably use your article for their website. Since they must attach your byline to it, this will bring you even more exposure for every website that re-posts your article. This because you will be benefiting of off the traffic that they get to their website.

There are numerous article directories out there for you to utilize. Your bet best is to put a copy of each of your articles on every one for maximum exposure. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your website, which will lead to new orders and more profit.

Di satu sisi, pengelola website dan blogger berlomba ingin agar artikel dan konten situsnya menjadi yang terpopuler dan banyak dikunjungi. Di sisi lain, pengguna internet ingin mendapatkan pilihan artikel terbaik dan paling sesuai dengan yang dibutuhkannya.

Kini, selain melalui search engine, Social Bookmarking menjadi salah satu solusi yang sangat digemari para pengelola web dan pengguna internet. Social Bookmarking merupakan sebuah metode bagi pengguna internet untuk menyimpan, mengelola, dan mencari halaman web dengan memanfaatkan layanan situs-situs penyimpan data halaman web. Jika kita bisa mem-bookmarks halaman-halaman web favorit di web browser, Social Bookmarking memungkinkan kita melakukan hal serupa -dengan kelebihan data bookmarks tersimpan di situs Social Bookmarking dan dapat dinikmati pengguna lainnya.

Contoh situs Social Bookmarking yang populer adalah DIGG, StumbleUpon, dan Technorati. Berbeda dengan layanan direktori web yang hanya menyimpan & menyajikan daftar URL halaman utama situs-situs dan dikelola secara manual oleh editor layanan direktori web, mekanisme Social Bookmarking lebih dinamis dan demokratis. Pengelola web dan blog dapat mendaftarkan setiap URL artikel dan posting di website atau blognya. Artikel terdaftar selanjutnya akan divoting pengunjung, dan yang terpopuler akan disajikan secara khusus di halaman awal. Di sinilah, pengguna internet dapat memperoleh manfaat, yaitu mendapatkan referensi dan sumber artikel yang terbaik.

Situs Social Bookmarking biasanya menyediakan fitur instan untuk mensubmit URL, berupa add-on untuk diinstal di toolbar web browser, atau ikon link submit yang dapat dipasang di halaman web atau blog. Ini akan mempermudah pengelola website dan blog untuk dapat menyebarkan artikel-artikelnya, berpromosi, dan mendapatkan peningkatan kunjungan (traffic) via situs-situs Social Bookmarking. Selain itu, umumnya situs Social Bookmarking juga menyediakan fitur tambahan, seperti pemberian komentar, pencarian teman sesama user, dan fitur bersosialisasi sejenisnya.
