Learn 5 Quick Ways To Use ‘Content’ To Create and Boost Your Traffic And Profits Today

August 30th, 2008

OK, what is ‘content’? Simply put, it is informative material that you include in your website or elsewhere to benefit your readers.

What’s the point of this effort? Providing information, relevant to the subject of your website, is the most powerful way of attracting visitors to you who already respect you as an expert on the subject.

In marketing speak they are already ‘presold’. If you then recommend them something a relatively large proportion will buy in compared to the average visitor to your site.

BUT you must never betray this trust and must always try to recommend only top quality products and services with the readers’ interest at heart. Honor this and you will have customers and followers for life.

Lets take a look at five ways content builds you traffic, subscribers, and customers in addition to increasing your search engine rankings.

1. Educate, don’t sell.

Regularly add keyword rich articles and content to your website. Adding a lot of content is good but adding new content regularly much better. Search engines and visitors alike, value your site more if it is kept fresh.

Doing this alone will raise your search engine ranking and daily visitor count.

For example, if your business involves offering products and services related to food, posting articles and content relating to recipes, food preparation, nutrition, quality suppliers etc will attract unlimited prospective customers on a regular basis! Why?

Answer: I want you to always remember this point, which will help you whenever you deal with the search engines:

The search engines are in the business of providing accurate and relevant information to their search clients. They do this because the more accurate and relevant the information the more people will visit (and also repeatedly come back to) the search engine and therefore the more money the search engine will make from advertising and other services.

This is why the search engines ‘love’ great, focused, relevant, keyword rich content. Once they find your site and index it (list it), if your content is great, then they will reward you by sending lots of visitors your way for as long as the content remains relevant to their customers.

So, give the search engines what they want and you’ll get plenty of what “you” want.

2. Excusive reports

If your run a newsletter, a powerful technique for multiplying your subscriber base quite easily is to offer content as “exclusive reports” or manuals. But present the offer as a bonus for signing up for your publication. Everyone loves freebies, so give them what they want and get what you want - a massive increase in your results.

Just remember, people just like search engines, want ‘relevant’ information. Keep the subject of your special reports focused and your newsletters well focused too. But if necessary, keep different lists for the different interests/subjects.

3. Training courses.

Think about it. What is a training course? Isn’t it a collection of informative chapters or sections organized in useful sequence! The beauty of organizing content into a series of lessons, delivered by email is:

a) It entices visitors to your website to give you their email addresses and then you can keep in touch, inform and market to them indefinitely.

b) It that keeps the reader glued to your serialized training course.

Now remember, statistics show that on average, it takes 7 contacts to turn a prospect into a customer. That’s why it is so hard to sell to a new visitor to your website. But this technique overcomes that problem very neatly.

Note: The technique is really simple and works extremely well but the key to success is ‘quality control’. This means you must ensure valuable content is provided in each and every lesson.

An extra bonus with this technique is that because you have editorial control over the content, you can links to related websites and also have your affiliate links spread around each lesson or course.

As you might imagine by now, valuable lessons will go on being demanded and used for an awful long time. This means you get an automated income stream from the affiliate links for as long as you keep the training material relevant.

Tip: Use an ‘auto responder’ to deliver these courses automatically.

4. Newsletter content.

A key ingredient of success online is building a trusting and honorable relationship with the people on your mailing list or newsletter subscribers. In other words you must ‘cultivate’ your list.

With top quality content in the form of articles, delivered through a sequence of emails, you can easily establish yourself as an exert in your filed of business. You gain significant credibility and trust.

As a result, once again your subscribers are ‘presold’ and will take up your products, services and recommendations.

Remember this only works if you never, ever, take advantage of the relationship you develop with your list. Avoid the temptation to offer poor quality products or services for a quick profit.

There is one thing you can totally depend on in Internet marketing: A mailing list with a well developed relationship to you, goes n producing income year after year.

5. Article submission.

A highly productive way to generate fr’ee traffic is by submitting ready-made articles to websites, newsletters, article directories, online journals etc.

At the end of each article you can attach 3-6 lines of text known as your ‘bio’ or ‘resource box’ or ‘About the author’. In this you write a little abut yourself and include a link to your website or subscription email address … See mine below.

At the time of submitting your articles for publication specify that each article is to be published “as is” with your resource box attached.

Even one or two articles can go miles towards generating tons of traffic and visitors for you without spending a cent. You can easily send your article to newsletters that have subscriber bases of 100,000 individuals or more and many will click your website link to find out more about what you are offering.

So you now have 5 powerful ways to develop your business but just one of these can explode your site popularity and profits with top quality content.

Let me leave you with a valuable thought on this subject: We’ve all heard “… give and you shall receive…”. And it is so true when it comes to providing useful information to others on the Internet.

Think of it this way: you will be proving your worth to your target market, right? Now, think about this question as a potential customer would:

Which is more powerful, lots of clever adverts from a company you know nothing about or just some plain-speaking but valuable information from someone or a company that proves useful to you and establishes its credibility? There is simply no contest.

Here’s one final hidden gem for you: how long does an advert stay current?

Answer: Just one issue of whatever publication of course.

How long does a valuable article last?

Answer: At least many months but most probably years! Yes, years.

Most publications and web sites maintain a readily accessible archive of their published material usually available to all visitors and search engine spiders for years to come! This will ensure a steady flow of visitors via search engines as an added bonus.

But there’s more: with links from (your resource box in) each article back to your site, the search engines will reward you with higher rankings.

And remember that when it comes to distributing content you have an army of allies out there numbering into at least thousands for the most obscure of subjects - they eagerly want to distribute your information because they too will gain similar benefits to you. A win-win situation for all.

Rapid Re-Camouflaging of Military Convoys

August 28th, 2008

The future of warfare is changing rapidly in the modern battlefield. The logistical military convoys are also changing and soon they will be robotic with no people. But for now we have valuable human life within those convoys and they must be protected at all costs. The best way to protect a military convoy is with camouflaging, however we must also realize that when we go from one area to another such as a desert and then thru a forest the color of the convoy needs to change with the surrounding background.

To prevent satellite detection the tops of the vehicles need to be the same color is the road you’re traveling on. If it is a dirt road then you need spray on dirt to put on the top of the vehicles and if you’re traveling on a road the tops of the vehicles need to be a black color identical to the roadway so they cannot be seen by satellites; perhaps you see the problem.

But how can you rapidly change the color of an entire convoy? Well, I have an idea and it does not include using the xenon blast to rapidly remove all the paint and then repaint all the vehicles because that would take forever. In the fast-moving convoy of the modern battlespace this needs to done while in motion; So, here is my plan;

We need an easy up system like a giant pop-up car detailing tent which would span across the road where the convoy could drive thru with ring sprayers inside. Then once completed just keep driving and the tent system would fold down and be loaded in a Humvee in a box.

I know when we use to spray tire dressing or degreaser in these tents they if they had at least two sides the wind would not significantly disrupt the direction of spray you see? Formerly before my retirement I ran an Auto Detailing Business DetailGuys.com and a Mobile Car Wash Franchise Carwashguys.com and this is the basis of my knowledge on this concept. Please consider all this in 2006 and support the troops.

    How to Install a New Toilet in 5 Easy Steps

    August 24th, 2008

    If your toilet is old and in need of repairs, it is cheaper to replace it by installing a new one. This is quite easy to do and can be completed in an afternoon. However, if you plan to install a toilet in a new location, you will have to extend supply pipes and drainpipes to the desired spot, a job you may want to leave to a plumbing contractor.

    Most toilets are sold with the necessary gaskets, washers, and hardware for fitting the tank to the bowl. However you might need to buy a few parts. Here is a list of what you need to complete this task:

    Parts: Toilet bowl, Toilet tank, Toilet seat, Two 1/4″ bolts for bowl to flange, Wax ring, 20″ water supply with fitting at valve or floor connection and Tools: Pair of channel pliers, bucket, screw driver.

    (Many of these can be ordered online at any DIY website such as DIY Tips UK: http://www.diy-tips-uk.com/plumbing/)

    1. Shut off the water to the toilet, use a bucket and a cloth or a sponge to remove the water left in tank and bowl after you flush the toilet.

    2. Using a pair of channel pliers, or a small pipe wrench (8″), remove the nut where the water line fastens to the ballcock valve under the left side of the bottom of the tank. Next use a small crescent wrench, remove the two 1/4″ nuts holding the bowl to the floor flange. Remove old toilet. Remove the water line from the valve or fitting at floor or wall.

    3. Now you are ready to install your new toilet. Put the two 1/4″ bolts in the side holes of the flange with the bolt head in the flange. Put some of the old wax at this spot to hold the bolts straight up and across from each other. Put new wax ring on flange, flat side up if tapered.

    4. Set new bowl only straight down so it centers on wax ring and both bolts come through holds on each side of bowl. Sit on bowl facing wall until your weight puts bowl flush with the floor. Put metal washers and nuts on bolts and tighten until snug. Do not over-tighten as you can crack the bowl. Tighten these again after toilet is completely installed and filled with water.

    5. Next put 2″ rubber gasket on tank where it sets on the bowl, put rubber washers on bolts provided under the bolt head so they will be on the inside of the tank. Pick up tank and set on bowl over holes in bowl where bolts go through. Sit on bowl facing wall. Put bolts on from the inside of the tank into holes in bowl, put on metal washers and nuts and tighten. Hold tank level and tighten so it brings tank down level. Use a large screw driver inside tank and a crescent wrench or end wrench to back up nut under bowl. Tighten with screw driver. Hook water supply to tank, turn on water, check for leaks, and snug up the bolts holding bowl to floor. If there is a space between the back of the tank and the wall, put a spacer of sort there to brace tank. A piece of wood or hard rubber works fine.

    Maintenance:

    At least twice a year clean out the inside of your toilet tank. When cleaning the toilet tank, turn off the water, flush toilet once, add small amount of cleaning detergent inside tank to water remaining and use a cloth or brush to clean. Also clean out holes under toilet seat and rim of the bowl as well as the 3/4″ hole in the bottom of toilet bowl. Replace rubber tank ball at this time if needed. Maintaining your new toilet will keep the plumber away and reduce your plumbing bill.

    Reserver.it to redefine Hotel Search through the new Ajax advanced search

    August 22nd, 2008

    Hotels in Italy are considered by the most part of travellers to be quite expensive, and this is probably true related to Hotels in other european countries. But there are some tips to find good deals for your lodging and the possibility to find cheap hotels in Italy.

    Online you can book package deals that will save you some cash and that can be more expensive if booked through a travel agency: rates obtained over this channel can be significantly higher due to the higher cost of human intermediation.
    Also, the electronic distribution carries the possibility for hotels to adjust rates day by day, based on their actual occupancy or based on strategies of lower price for advanced bookings.
    More, we should take in consideration that offline distribution tends to offer big bed capacity hotels, excluding from the market all that properties (such as small hotels or apartments for rent or b&b and guest houses) that can really offer lower rates.

    Buying directly from the source or from Italian online reservation system can assure the best prices for your lodging in Tuscany (very rich in cities for art lovers such as Florence, Pisa, Siena,…), or for your short break to Florence, or for a romantic accommodation in Venice.

    Tennessee Ski Vacations

    August 21st, 2008

    With an elevation of 3301 feet, and a vertical drop of 600 feet, Ober Gatlinburg features eight trails: two beginner trails, four intermediate trails, and two advanced trails. There are three lifts, including two quad lifts, one double lift, and one surface lift. The Season runs from the middle of December through early March, and night skiing is allowed on all trails except the Grizzly trail.

    Rentals are available for both ski equipment and snowboarding equipment. Private and group lessons for skiing and snowboarding are also available through the Smokey Mountain Snow Sport School. You can also easily find food at the many snack-bars, food carts, the café, the restaurant, or in the lounge.

    You must not miss the longest chair lift ride in the south! You will see awesome views of the Great Smoky Mountains. You will also get a bird’s eye view of some of the slopes, and you can have your picture taken on top of the mountain. If you don’t ski, don’t worry! You can ride back down the mountain on the chair lift as well. Don’t forget the Tramway. The tramway departs from downtown Gatlinburg and takes you to the ski resort and the amusement park.

    Even if you don’t ski, you can still explore the thrill of flying down a mountain at a high speed - or a slow speed if you choose. This is possible with the Alpine Slide. The slide is approximately 1800 feet long, and takes you down a winding wooded slope. You have total control over your speed with the use of a braking device on each sled. Other attractions at the amusement park include the Black Bear Habitat, a bungee jump, a water race, go karts, indoor ice skating, kiddy land, an arcade, miniature golf, a Spider Web Velcro Wall Jump, water rides and a shooting range.

    No matter what type of fun or adventure you are seeking, there is something to satisfy everyone in the family at Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park. This is definitely a trip worth taking, especially if you have younger kids or Senior Citizens traveling with you.

    Switching From Home Based Texas Holdem to Online Texas Holdem

    August 19th, 2008

    Online Texas Hold’em has taken the world by storm in the past few years. In case you’ve been left behind, we are going to get you caught up to speed with the world of online texas hold’em poker. I’m going to assume that you have a working knowledge of the game of texas holdem and only talk about the differences between online and offline texas holdem.

    There are several major differences between online texas holdem and the texas holdem you’ve played for years at your friends house. First of all, there are no tells in online poker. Secondly, the software interface is one of the most important things in online poker. And lastly, you can always find an online game.

    What happened to all of the tells?

    There are lots of people that will tell you that there are still tells in online poker. I don’t believe this one bit. They will say that if someone bets quick or slow, you will be able to get a feel for their play. Well, what about internet connections? If someone has a slow connection, they will play intermittently. In other words, sometimes bet slow and sometimes bet quickly. This just isn’t reliable enough, so there are no tells in online texas holdem.

    Software interface, the most important thing

    The software interface allows you to do, and not do, everything at the poker table. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. For one, you are limited to the confines of the poker software. You are only allowed to do whatever the software programmers have allowed you to do. Fortunatly, there are some really good programs out there and everything is there except the feel of the felt and the chips in your hand.

    A big advantage of online poker over at home poker is, there is never any mistake over who won the pot. Have you ever miscalled a hand and lost because of it? Well, that will never happen in online poker.

    There is always a game online

    Unlike your buddies house, there is always a game that you can play from the convenience of your own home. Just log on to your favorite online poker room and you will see tens of thousands of people online playing at thousands on tables.

    Goals: What Would You Like to Accomplish in the Next 90 Days?

    August 15th, 2008

    “What would you like to accomplish in the next 90 days?”

    That’s the question I often ask of my coaching clients or seminar members as we begin to set goals.

    Once you have answered that question, here are 10 steps to get there.

    1. Ninety days

    Choose something that you would like to accomplish or change within the next 90 days. Ninety days is a much more manageable length of time than a year and allows us to enjoy reaching our goals more often.

    2. What to subtract

    What is currently in your life that you would be willing to commit to not being there 90 days from now?

    3. What to add

    What is currently not in your life that you would be willing to commit to having in your life 90 days from now?

    4. Choose one

    Whether it is something to remove from or add to your life, pick just one thing to accomplish in the next 90 days. While it’s great to have as many goals as you might want, it’s best to choose just one thing to focus on.

    5. Write it down

    It does not matter how strong your memory might be, it’s still not as strong as the weakest ink. There is power in writing things down because it reminds you of where you want to go. So when life gets busy and stressful (as in most of the time), you are much less likely to get distracted long enough to lose your focus.

    6. Find a model

    Find people who have done what you want to do and follow the trail they have left. Success always leaves a trail that if we learn how to follow can save us frustration and time.

    7. Create a map

    If you wanted to travel across unfamiliar territory you would consult a map. Here are the two most powerful steps to creating your own map. Ask yourself “What are all the necessary actions I need to take to get to where I want to go?” and write down the actions you decide on and follow them. Doing this allows you to:

    8. Be consistent

    It’s rarely one big effort that helps us achieve our goals. More often, it’s small consistent actions taken each and every day.

    9. Schedule a future action

    Whatever your goal may be, right now, today, schedule a future action that anticipates the completion of your goal. If you want to get rid of a certain amount of weight, schedule a shopping trip to buy the clothing that will fit on that day. If your goal is to save or invest a certain amount of money, fill out the deposit slip now and schedule time on that future date to make the deposit.

    10. Maintain and celebrate

    Once you accomplish a goal, it’s all too easy to cross the finish line and stop doing all the things that got you where you wanted to go. We need to keep doing what has worked, and perhaps do even more of it.

    While you are doing this, celebrate.

    One of the best things about achieving goals is celebrating how far you have come. It’s fun, and it builds momentum for the next 90 days.
