Internet Marketing Solution

I usually don’t trust it when the mailing lists I’m subscribed to send out promotions. Obviously, the mailing list owners are going to promote most products, right? It’s in their pocketbook’s best interest.

It doesn’t help when you hear things like how each name on a list is worth about a $1 a month. And considering so much of what’s out there is just rehashed information … oftentimes the books I get aren’t worth my time reading them.

So when the emails started flooding in about this new “Affiliate Project X” book, I decided to turn to my little “sphere of internet marketing influence” for comments. It just takes me too long to read through everything out there and like you, my time is valuable.

What I got back was a little suprising. Especially for the new clickbank product of the week — at least that’s what I call it. I’ve been passing on them for virtually the entire summer.

But the handful of people I contacted about this book told me this one was for real. They were so sincere in fact that I bought it without even so much as glancing at the sales letter.

Now my business plan isn’t focused on affiliate marketing (I’m more of a product creator), but I decided to look into the ebook anyway.

After spending all day yesterday reading through it, I think I’m going to have to change my mind on affiliate marketing. I even went through it twice and have put together an “affiliate marketing plan of attack”.

The concepts in the book were truly eye-opening. Now even though I like creating products and only really dabble with affiliate marketing, I can see the power of these tactics. Imagine if you already know the next product you’re going to create is a winner, just by testing out how well similiar products like yours convert.

Affiliate Project X gives you that power. And I’m all for it.

I can only imagine if I got this much out of it, how much someone with more of an interest in affiliate marketing stands to gain.

To pull the curtain back a little, the author goes through 6 major methods in affiliate marketing. They include:

1. The Art of the Pre-Sell 2. The Affiliate Diary 3. The Workhorse Method 4. Thief in the Night:Stealing from the Super Affiliates 5. Copy the Best Part 2 6. The Opportunist

After reading the first method, I was truly sold on the ebook. And it only got better the more I read. This stuff is powerful … and then some!

Just so you know, I did purchase the author’s previous ebook, “Adwords Miracle” back in May. Chris really pulled off a great one with that one as well.

After digging out my adwords notes on Adwords Miracle (which I had kept guarded in my thin stack of important notes), I was able to put together a great plan of action for my affiliate marketing/adwords endeavors.

I’m calling it my secret blueprint for now (more on that another time).

At any rate, if you’re interested in learning from one of the best, I’d suggest you look into Chris’s “Affiliate Project X“. This guy is one to watch for sure.

Let’s suppose for a minute that you’re hungry (maybe you are now that I’ve mentioned it?). You want something new and different to eat. So you connect to the internet and type in the word “recipes” at Google. Your search result will include millions of websites all related to recipes.

But let’s say you had a specific type of recipe in mind; maybe a dessert dish or a Mexican recipe. So you don’t want to search through all the random recipes you found using a vague search term like “recipes”. You want to narrow the playing field. So let’s get more specific. You now type in “Mexican dessert recipe” and the search engine finds far fewer possibilities. Now the results are geared more toward what you really wanted.

I’m sure you already realize all this, but let’s think about it for a minute from the stand point of your business. We already know that most people only look through the first few pages of any search result.

Realistically, that’s only about the first 30 listings per search. Therefore, you need to get listed on the first few pages of the results for keywords related to your site. How much harder do you think it would be to get listed in the top 10 for a search result of 10,000,000 (like recipes) than one with only 50,000 results (like Mexican dessert recipes)? You do the math! Based on that, which goal do you think is the most realistic to set?

One common misunderstanding with search engines and web site optimization is to try to be something for everyone. Many people think this will be the key to more sales. So they optimize their website for keywords that are most frequently searched. These are usually really general keywords that may be difficult to get a higher ranking for.

Alas, as you can see, this just doesn’t pan out on the internet. Broad sites tend to get lost in the shuffle.

If your site revolves around a general topic, it will be buried within the 10,000,000 other related sites.

No one will ever find it.

And no one will ever buy your product no matter how wonderful it is if they can’t find it.

Worse yet, the people searching using these really broad terms usually aren’t out to buy anything. Now this is just a generalization, but it tends to hold true. The more specific searchers tend to be the people looking for something specific to buy and the general searchers tend to be looking for info and nothing else. Remember, this isn’t always the case, but it seems to be a trend.

So rather than building a site revolving around general topics like “recipes”, “cooking” and “food”, you should build one around a tightly focused niche. The less competition, the easier it will be to find your site.

Did you know that one of the best ways to get free traffic to your wordpress blog is through Technorati?

You don’t even need to do any search engine optimization to get your blog posts to rank high in this popular blog search engine.

You can start getting traffic through Technorati quite easily by simply tagging your posts.

What is tagging?

Tags are basically keywords. A tag can be a category or a subject. When we talk about tagging, all we are basically referring to is how you summarize what your webpage or site is about.

Is it about dogs?

If so, then you might want to use the tag, “dogs”.

What else is your site (or blog) about?

Perhaps German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, dog training, and puppy toys.

Well, then all these would make great tags as well.

So the concept of tagging is not really that much different from your standard keywords.

If you’re interested in learning more about flooding your blogs with free traffic from Technorati, you may want to check out my Tagging Secrets ebook. There is also a free blog (with content) at the site, just visit http://www.taggingsecrets.com/blog/.
