What Is Search Engine Optimization?

What Is Search Engine Optimization? by Adrijus Rudaitis If you build it, will they come? "If you build it, they will come," is the famous quote from the movie Field of Dreams. However, as all too many webmasters and business owners have discovered, just building a website is no guarantee of receiving visitors. Visit Google.com and type in a few keywords like "real estate". You will be immediately presented with thousands of results organized in a ranking that takes up several pages (by 10 in each page). How many of those results are you going to glance through? The first 100, which would be 10 pages? Probably not. The first 30, or 3 pages is more likely. Some surfers won't even go past the first 5 results. This means that just because a website is listed in the search engines it doesn't mean that it will be found. What is search engine optimization? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Website by ranking ...

Strategic Online Internet Marketing

Affiliate Marketing Programs

Affiliate Marketing Programs "Where is all the help I'm supposed to get. I have been buying ezine and classified ad builders and signing up for Echecks and Virtual credit cards. In the meantime I have no business and no ads set up. When does all this happen? Let's go here. I spent all day on this. I'm running out of time." I kid you not, this is the sum total of an actual email that hit my inbox this week. Not only did I not know this person from Adam, this was the first and only email I had ever received from her and to this day, I have no idea what she's talking about. Presumably, she signed up for one of the affiliate programs I promote from my site and was asking, in her own inimitable style, for my help. Although I am always ready and willing to help anyone I can, this is most definitely NOT the way to go about asking for it. Needless to say, I let her know what I thought of her approach in NO uncertain terms. The attitude displayed in this person's e...

Internet Marketing in a Nutshell

No matter how revolutionary your product or service is, unless it is backed by a well-thought-out Internet Marketing strategy, it is as good as being non-existent. You have got to be as sure as any of the conventional brick and mortar businesses.
