So What is Technorati?

Technorati is an internet search engine for blogs with a dynamic ranking system.

Technorati is like Google for blogs, this is a good thing because it is so much easier to rank well on Technorati since the majority of bloggers do not know how it is done.

How does Technorati work?
Technorati aggregates RSS (Really simple syndication) feeds in real time from the internet and sorts the posts it finds into categories using Technorati tags. After sorting posts into their proper categories Technorati offers visitors the ability to further sort the posts by freshness, by topic and by authority.

What are Technorati Tags?
Technorati tags are labels that writers assign to articles in order to tell Technorati what the article is about. Wordpress blogs uses plugins to make this task simple however wordpress version 2.5 has rendered most plugins obsolete. Technorati is now able to use an article’s category name as its tag.

What is Technorati authority?
Technorati authority is a system in which points are assigned to blogs based on the number of other blogs that link to it. When another blog links to yours you gain one authority point however subsequent links from the same blog do not give you additional points. Technorati ignores points older than 6 months.

How to get started with Technorati?
To add blog posts to Technorati visit www.technorati.com and create a free account. Once your account is set up you will be prompted to “claim your blog”. Follow the instructions provided by Technorati and claim your blog. If you’re running version 2.5 or later of Wordpress you don’t need to do anything else.

Follow the steps below and you will get a higher rank within a month if you continue to do this.
Step 1. Finding the right people.
Do some research before you start this. You need to find other bloggers that are interested in what you have to say and write about on your blog. Now head over to Technorati and browse for some high ranking blogs in your niche.

Use the search button to find blogs in your niche with a high authority of over 200 or click on “Popular” and browse through there until you find a blog in your niche. When you find the right blog, click on it. You can sort your research either by sorting by, highest Authority or by number of fans.
For this exercise I chose – Courts Internet Marketing School – How to make money Online.

Step 2. Filter out the potential readers.
Having a look at this blog it has over 9822 blog reactions . What is blog reactions?

So now click on “View all reactions” .

• Choose blogs with an authority of around 10-50 because if it is too low then that I assume that blog doesn’t have worthwhile content. Now some of those blogs with 1-10 authority might be new but I do not want to waste time and guess.


• Once you have chosen dozens of these blogs, you need to visit them and check them out. Look for their most recent posts and try to find a good one.


• Now that you have one chosen one good post from each of the dozens blog, you need to link to those post. Just link to them in anyway on your blog. What you can do is a “post of the week” thing in which you link to those profitable blogs. Most of them will visit you and half will link back to you.


• Do not link to the top blog just because others are doing it. In most cases they will hardly notice you and they are already popular. Link to the newborn blogs and they will gladly visit you and even link to you.


• Just make to link to all of these profitable blogs in your post. Dedicate one of your post a week for linking to others.That is basically it and remember choosing the right people is EVERYTHING in this technique.

Use Classifieds to promote your business

Unlike other forms of advertising, classified ads are content that people want to read; people spend time actually looking for your ad. But before you begin posting on classified websites think about what your customers are trying to find. This approach to classified ad marketing is the key for success.


Classifieds ads are useful in selling and buying all kinds of products and services. People looking to buy any product will be searching for the items in the pages of online classified sites. When they find a product which meets their requirements, they would contact the seller or they would just click to your website to find great, exciting information about the product you have to sell.


E- Classifieds.

Online Classified Advertising is known as e-classifieds. Placing e-classifieds ads broadens ones reach and connects you with people who are eagerly searching for what you have to sell which can boost your sales. Online classifieds are the ultimate way to expand your brand locally and worldwide to use classifieds to buy, sell or advertise anything!

Just like with any form of marketing, you need to understand your audience and you need to develop your classified ad skills to a razor sharp skill. You can also use classified ads to promote your Home Based Business Opportunities website, or use it for list building or traffic generation.

The Best Method To Success
All that you need to do to get outstanding results from your classified ad is to get your readers to contact you for more information. That's it.

You want qualified prospects to stand up, identify themselves as being interested by requesting your free report, free details or free information. This is the ultimate function of a classified ad, step-one of the Two-Step approach. To generate inquiries from those most interested in the benefits you offer. The second step is to reply to every inquiry with a powerful marketing package that completes the selling job and produces the order.


This Could Be Worth A Fortune To You.
This Little-Known Secret, the greatest advantage of classifieds is this; almost every respondent to a well written ad has a sincere interest in acquiring the benefit promised in the ad. This means that a good classified ad achieves an unparalleled rate of qualified response.

A well-constructed classified ad also achieves another remarkable feat; it creates a strong anticipation in the mind of the individual who has submitted his name and address. The "hot" prospect can't wait to get more information. He anxiously anticipates receiving the follow-up package. He's emotionally excited about what the ad promises and often has already made the decision to buy. Your follow-up package containing all the details often works as the logical support and justification for the already established decision to buy.

If you haven’t tried Free Classifieds from USfreeads until now, you should know that they offer plenty of benefits. If you want to learn more about how to use Classified ads to promote your Home Based Business then GET THIS FREE REPORT - Craigslist-Advertising-Revealed.

Tips to make your Visitors stay Longer

If you want to make your visitors stay longer longer on your website , then it is crucial to make your home based business website more interesting.

The longer you can keep visitors at your home based business website, the faster you can develop a relationship with them. Once your website has captivated their interest, there 's every chance they may go on to buy your product or service.

Understand what your visitors are looking for.

Understanding what your visitors are looking for is crucial to the success of your home based business website. The best way to accomplish this is with a good Traffic analysis program like Google analytics, Statcounter etc. However you need to remember 2 very important points.

1. People use the Internet to look for information - so you need to provide what they are looking for.


2. The 10 second rule, even if you have the information, if your website is boring, your visitor will not wait around to look for the information.

So what information are we looking for that will help with point no 1

• What search terms do the visitors use the most to find your site?


• What might the people searching for these terms want?


• Do you have this information that your visitors are looking for displayed on your website.


• What path do they follow on your site? Can you guess where they want to go?

Have you ever gone to a website intending to browse for just a few minutes, but you end up staying for almost an hour. This is no accident -- such web sites are usually carefully designed to make lingering easy. That's because web site owners know that the longer a customer visits their web sites, the more likely they are to purchase a product or at least remember the company.

When it comes to your own home based business web site, you want to urge visitors to stay longer and return frequently

By implementing the following few tips, you will notice a huge decrease in the bounce rate on your website ( when visitors click out immediately).

• Provide good content - The most compelling reason for visitors to spend more time at your website is the magnetism of its content. Therefore, present them with captivating content that they can't find elsewhere and they'll have a reason to stay on your site a little longer.

• People will stay longer at your web site if you update your information on a regular basis, viewing the same old content can be a turn off for repeat visitors, therefore try and offer something new when they do, e.g. new, product information, graphics, offers, company news, links, etc.

• Offer your web site visitors a freebie for visiting your website, or get them to take the time to fill out your online survey. They'll be at the site longer and might buy something afterwards.

• Make sure all your web pages load fast or your visitors will leave fast. Time is precious; they won't waste it waiting for your site to load. Publish your web site professionally. People will get turned off and leave if they see a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. Ensure that your site text easy to read. Most people won't strain their eyes trying to read text that is too small, light or bright.

The list above is only a very small amount of tips that you can use to make your website more interesting, one of the best ideas to always to bench mark your website against other websites that are using the same keywords as your home based website, or at least are in the same category as your website.

Best 8 Linking tips for a Website

Do you really know how to use links on your web site? Many people will probably answer, ‘yes, of course I do’. However, it is highly unlikely that they do since even experienced internet marketers get a bit lost when it comes to website links.

If you regard your site as a whole, you must first consider that there is more than one kind of link, and you must understand the relevance of each type of link. You have navigation links leading visitors between the various pages on your website. Some links might be on every page, and others not, but do you know what should and should not be on every page? Then you have product links, which lead prospective buyers to the products you are advertising. Where do these links lead?

Good mutual reciprocal links may help you to improve your site rank in the search engines, while bad links or over-flooded links may ruin your site ranking. The good ranking also needs a good content apart from the links, so make sure you have quality content along with the quality links

Do they lead to another page on your website, or do they lead the visitor away and on to another person’s website? In other words an affiliate merchant’s page. If so, have you checked how easy it is for your visitor to get back to your website? Are they now lost for ever? What if your link leads to an information page? Some people offer links to such sites as Wikipedia or other such sites. Now are you confident that you know how to use links on your web site? Perhaps now you realise that you need some help or advice!

Be selective about the sites from which you request links. Search engines use sophisticated rules when judging the importance of a link, and the popularity of the site linking to you is a key criteria. One link from a high Ranking site is worth far more than a link from a personal web site.



Below are a few major things to keep in mind when exchanging links:

1. Relevant : The sites with who you exchange links with should be extremely relevant to your site.

2. Good Content : Websites should be unique in addition to having good content which is relevant too.

3. Selective : Websites should not have more than 20 links on that particular page on which your link will be shown.

4. Anchor Text :Your links title ought to be followed by a meaningful and positive site description

5. Link Manually : Attempt to avoid linking through software it will be better if performed manually

6. Be Descriptive:Your links anchor text ought to be a little bit descriptive in stead of merely containing a single keyword.

7. SE. Friendly : The link page ought to be indexed in Google and in all additional major search engines too.


8. Navigation : The link should directly go to your site in stead of through any extra redirection technique.



Avoid flooding your sites with reciprocal links - Many a times, having lots of links may hamper your site's credibility and the focus of the site visitor. The reciprocal links look good and attracts the site visitor when it maintains the navigation ease. But, if the site is flooded with links, it can hamper the 'stick to the content' quality, and thus, harming the site's popularity.





Use free tools for links exchange - Using free tools for link exchange can help you to get into the proper traffic. So, use free tools for your links exchange and make sure they are providing you good links.

4 Quick steps to Reduce Your Debt

We all need to start tigthnening the belt and reducing our personal debt, however it is not as hard as what you think, if you follow a simple debt management strategy.

Below is 4 quick steps to help you recover your personal financial postion.


Step one: Work your debt out.
Sit down and work out how exactly how much you owe and who you owe it to. Gather the latest bills from all Debt accounts.
Find the minimum monthly payment for each account and then add these up to get an overall monthly minimum. Pledge to pay this overall minimum PLUS an additional chunk every month -- enough to make a good dent in the outstanding balance of at least one account.

Next, order the latest bills according to annual interest rate charged. Apply the " additional chunk" (beyond the minimum) to the highest rate account(s). Repeat this process monthly until the last Debt account is paid in

Step two: Work out a Budget.
Once you know how much you owe you can draw up a budget, including a schedule for repaying your debts. Be realistic and work out what you can afford to repay and still stay within your budget.

Do this by setting up another simple spreadsheet.

• In one column, list your monthly bills (rent or mortgage, auto payment, utilities, cable, etc.) — everything that is a regular monthly expense. Then list variable expenses (things that change every month) like groceries, gas, etc.
  
• In the second column, put down the amounts for each. Be sure to put enough for things like gas and groceries, as you don’t want to be short. Be sure to also include your minimum debt payments and your emergency fund deposit.
  
• Now, list your income sources and monthly amounts. Now You’ve got a temporary spending plan (you’ll want to add the irregular expenses later).
  

If the expenses are greater than the income, you’ll need to make adjustments until the expenses are equal to or less than the income.

Step three: Be disciplined.
Don't borrow any more money or take on any more debts until you have repaid what you already owe.
Pay bills on time. This may be a problem for a lot of people. It’s important, if you want to get out of debt, to start paying all your bills on time. At this point, you want to focus on getting those bills paid on time, and making it a habit. If you have trouble remembering, try one of these methods:

• pay bills as soon as they come in — take them to the computer and pay them online, or write out a check and prepare the envelope to be mailed the next day; or
• set up a reminder in your calendar program to tell you when bills are due.
  

Step four: Watch your daily spending.
If you find it hard to keep track of your spending and ensure that you’re sticking to your spending plan. Here’s the key:

• Take a set amount of money out of the bank at the beginning of the week and give your card to a friend or family for self-keeping. That way you cannot spend more than you have in cash.
  
• first do the emergency fund deposit.
  
• Now do the debt payments.
  
• Then do your monthly bills.
  
• lastly withdraw the variable amounts in cash, and put them into separate envelopes.
  

This is an old-fashioned system, but it works, as you don’t have to worry about overspending. When your envelope is empty, you can’t spend anymore.

Continue to cut back on non-essential spending as much as you can at this point, so you’re able to stick within your spending plan.

Make small cutbacks. Take a look at things you normally buy and see if you can cut out a few of them, or spend less on them. Groceries? See if you can buy house brands instead of name brands. Coffee? Make it yourself at home instead of buying out. Lunch? Try packing it to work instead of eating out. Add up what your cutbacks will save you this month.

Finally
Another great way to get out of debt faster is to make more money. Look at ways you can make money on the side — Take 30 minutes to brainstorm. Are there ways you can start a small home based business online? Can you sell some of your household goods on eBay?

Create Your Plan.
Put the plan for reaching your goal on paper. The Debt-to-Income Ratio Worksheet and Debt Goal Worksheet may help you set targets for monthly expenses such as utilities, groceries, medical costs, household needs, and transportation. Set realistic targets and then try to spend even less. Make hard decisions about how to squeeze more of what you earn from your budget to pay off your debt. Don’t forget to budget for the unexpected, such as household ,car repairs or emergency medical treatment.

Step 2. Getting Rid of Temptation

Cut up store cards.
Store cards charge by far the highest rates for credit, so if you're finding it hard to manage these debts throw away your cards now to avoid temptation.
You'll pay well over the odds for most store cards - it's better to pay cash if you can. For those items you can't pay cash for, shop around for the best deals - the market is competitive, so there are some excellent interest free credit offers around. It is also worth taking a look on the internet as many products are offered there more cheaply.

Cancel the credit card.
Credit cards are extremely tempting, and with the high interest, they can be downright dangerous. It is possible to use them wisely and even profit from using them … however, most people don’t use them that way, it’s better to just cancel the card.

Eliminate non-essential expenses.
This might seem extreme to many people, but you need to eliminate everything you do not need: cable TV, most eating out, going to the movies (except on rare occasions), alcohol, even cigarettes. You need to re-learn what it is like to live frugally.


Finally
Track Your Spending—Using the plan you’ve developed, track your spending carefully so you can look for additional ways to save. The more money you can apply to your debt each month, the sooner you should be out of debt. To get more help with debt and learn How to be Debt Free get more information at this site.

Avoiding Online Paid Surveys Scams

At one time or another, if you have access to the internet will be asked to participate in a survey of some sort. Most of us, at least at first, actually go through the whole process and actually finish a survey or two.

But did you know that it's possible to get paid for doing that? It is! Thousands of people right now are making money at home, by doing Paid online surveys.


However like with most “home Based Jobs on the internet”, you need to look out for the scams and scam artists, there are many questionable, "middleman" paid survey sites that are out there poisoning the well, by hyping easy money for participating in online marketing research from home.



When there's competition for selling an easy-money scheme working from home, you can bet that there's also exaggeration, if not outright scams.

How to spot a Paid Online Survey SCAM.
The bottom line is, if the hype for online paid surveys sounds too good to be true, it likely is. That's the safest way to screen out "offers" that hype big rewards for small investments of time or money. Don't be fooled by:

 Testimonials - Ropers and conman write these for scams, not satisfied customers.
 Documented Proof - Some questionable paid survey sites provide checks and other documented replications as "proof." But just because someone made money at least once, doesn't mean that you will. Besides, with today's computer technology, paid survey scams can counterfeit just about any document and make it look authentic.
 Guarantees - Don't believe guarantees that promise the Moon. Paid survey sites can't possibly guarantee you much of anything, except that they'll refund your fees if you're not satisfied.

How to find the correct Paid Survey sites.
Be wary of conducting business with sites that list only email or PO box addresses for questions and other matters, as they might be fly-by-night, paid survey scams.

Perform "whois" lookups
To reveal if paid survey sites were registered by proxy. If so, be wary of doing business with them too. Site owners might be hiding their contact information behind proxy services, because they're running paid survey scams. Whois lookups will also tell you if different sites were launched by the same owners (unless they were registered by proxy). If so, be wary about that too. Owners might have launched multiple sites to make their "industry" appear to be more legit, dupe you into buying the same list of paid surveys more than once, or both.

Check with the BBB.org
For complaints against specific online paid survey sites and their owners. But, be aware that, just because there are no complaints, it doesn't mean that all who have conducted business with the sites are 100-percent satisfied. It just means that no one has yet complained to the BBB about those specific sites. More about that is below.

Browse scam forums,
Such as Scam.com and RipOffReport.com, for messages from consumers who think they've been duped by online paid survey scams. But, proceed with caution. Some messages are posted by ropers and shills pretending to "rescue" those who've been duped by paid survey scams or who are looking to avoid it.

Finally
If you are looking to make some extra CASH with paid online surveys, then look at this site - Paid Online Surveys - all products have been tested and are Scam Free.

The great thing about the internet is that there are so many ways to make money in your home based internet business and nothing prevents you from venturing into several paths. Doing paid online surveys is not going to get you rich, it is another simple way to bring in cash. Cash that can be used to buy other programs or pay for things web hosting etc.

6 reasons you should do paid online surveys.

1. Thousands of surveys.
Perhaps the best thing about taking paid online surveys is that there are thousands of surveys to be filled out. As long as companies want honest opinions from people, there will be work for you. And because of the constant need to get ahead of competitors, paid surveys are on the rise.

All the companies are looking for is an honest opinion about something they sell or are considering selling. This allows anybody to jump on the internet and quickly make some money working from home

3. Little risk
The only real risk you face with paid online surveys is filling out surveys for companies that are a scam. The result is you not getting paid for less than an hour of work. You do not have to worry about investing a great deal of money into something that is going to fail and do not have to worry about the company going under.

4. Quick
A typical survey should take no longer than 10 to 15 minutes to complete. You can fill out several surveys in a couple of hours and make a decent amount of money. The last thing you want to do is spend hours filling out a survey and take away time from your other ventures.

5. No binding contracts
When you get into paid online surveys, there are no contracts or anything tying you down. If you find that filling out surveys is just not for you, you can quit at any time. There are no contracts between companies either, so you can fill out as many surveys for different companies as you like.

6. A Proper Business
Run your paid survey work in a businesslike manner. Get an email address just for surveys, check your inbox daily. When you are offered surveys respond promptly, fill the questionnaires out fully, answer the questions to the best of your ability.

How to Start your own Internet Business for Free

Did you know that you can start your own Internet Home Based Business for FREE, without knowing HTML code, or any other technical jargon and without paying hosting fees etc.

Now days it can take you a few minutes to start your own internet business, with Social networking sites like Hubpages,

Hubpages is a website that allows you to publish your content on their site free of charge. You simply sign up for an account, write your thoughts and publish them! You even get your own URL which is based at hubpages.com. This means that you do not even have to own your own website in order to publish your thoughts and ideas.

So if you wanted to have your own Internet Home Based Business website, that can start earning money for you right away, then "Hubpages" may be the answer you've been looking for.


The advantage of Hubpages
the unique structure that HubPages uses affords all technically challenged people a luxury that is rarely seen on the internet - the ability to create web pages with considerable ease. Each page that is created is known as a "Hub" and these pages become part of a structure of Hubs that are linked together with a common theme or niche.

It is an excellent platform to use to publish your content because Hubpages is favoured by Google at the moment which means that your pages have a good chance of being ranked well in the search engine results pages, so you can get plenty of traffic. On average a Hub will be indexed by Google within 36 hours which is pretty fast!


How to Make money on your Hub.
Hubpages allow you to earn money with easy drag and drop modules to add Ebay, Amazon and even Google AdSense to your Hub.
In particular the Ebay and Amazon capsules work very well because you can link to specific types of items which relate to you Hubpage. Therefore there is more chance of the visitor looking at and potentially buying the product that you are advertising. If they do then you get paid a percentage of the sale.

If you wish to take this a step further you can find hot selling products on Amazon, then write an article about them at your Hubpage. Then you simply type in the ASIN or ISBN number of that product and you will link directly to it!

So the result will be an article about a product and then links to that product next to it. Even something simple like writing about the books that you have recently read, DVDs you've watched or music CDs you've listened to, can be effective ways of earning money


What else can you use your Hub for.

• A hub, or hubs, can point to a web site where a product or service is being sold.
  
• A hub can link to an affiliate site that you own and, once again, it costs nothing to produce.
  
• Additional hubs can lead visitors to your Google Adsense site(s), an Amazon affiliate link, or a sign-up page for future email campaigns.
  
• Use the Hubpage as mini test site.

Now to get your website found by the SE, you need to adopt a well planned strategy, however one thing to keep in mind is that you should not rely solely on SE as your primary source of traffic

If you want to have a successful blog or website then Keyword research is critical — that is assuming you are in it to make a profit. You want people to find your website and you want your web visitors to be interested in what you have to sell.

Read on to discover "How to find the correct Keywords for your website"

Use your Competition

Start by Lettting the search engines gather the correct keywords for your site for you, you can spot what your competition is doing in order to gain the top rankings in your market, pay attention to the keyword placement on their sites.

Another way to find the correct keywords for your website can be found with tools like seodigger.com and spyfu.com . Seodigger allows you to identify the phrases that competitors are ranking for organically and SpyFu displays what phrases are being used with Pay Per Click advertising.

How to Find the correct keywords for your website can be daunting, The trick is to start slowly.

The first step in this process is to create a list of potential keywords. Brainstorm all the words you think a customer would type into their search box when trying to find you, what is your site hoping to do or promote? Come up with enough words to cover all the services your site offers. Avoid overly generic terms. These words are incredibly difficult to rank for and won't drive qualified traffic to your site. Focus on words that are relevant, but not overly used.

A great way to find the correct keywords for your website is to use social media sites, the most popular tags, or keywords, are often reported on the respective social media sites such as on the del.icio.us tag page, StumbleUpon popular tags or the Technorati blog search engine tag page.

Now that you have found the correct keywords for your website, your next step is to determine the activity for each of your proposed keywords. You want to narrow your list to only include highly attainable, sought-after phrases that will bring the most qualified traffic to your site.

Google AdWords Keyword Tool: Google's keyword PPC tool doesn't provide actual search numbers for keywords. Instead, it displays a colored bar, giving users only an approximation.

Google Suggest: Google Suggest is a great way to find synonyms and related word suggestions that may help you expand your original list.

How to Narrow down your Keyword list.

Now you know how to find the correct keywords for your website, have tested their activity, it's time to narrow down the field and decide which keywords will make it into your final keyword list.

Go down your list and highlight the terms that most closely target the subject and theme of your web site. These are the terms you want to hold on to. Delete all words that are not relevant to your site or that you don't have sufficient content to support (unless you're willing to write some).

Targeted terms are often easier to rank for and help bring qualified traffic. They also make you a subject matter expert to the search engines, since the targeted terms strengthen the theme created with the broader phrases.

Conclusion.

Increase website ranking by improving WebPage content

If you need to improve your home based business website ranking, have a look at your WebPages. By doing basic SEO work you will be able to improve the way the major SE see your WebPages.

Follow these 5 simple ideas on How to Improve Your WebPage content.

Keyword Phrases
Try adding a few words to make a keyword phrase, rather than focusing on a single word. If you were searching for your own website, what keyword phrase would you type into Google for each page?

Stick to one subject per page, if you have multiple pages , try to stick to one keyword phrase per page.

Keyword Density
One of the things Google looks for when it catalogues your home based business pages is the density of the keyword usage, in other words, how often the keyword occurs, use natural phrasing.

Give a strong opening paragraph, Google may or may not search beyond the first 200 words or so of your web site, but it definitely looks at the first paragraph for keyword density.

It is generally regarded that 5 to 10 keywords per 100 words is acceptable.
If you repeat it too often then the search engines might think you are spamming and your page is downgraded or even banned. So start low and you can always tweak it upwards later.

Heading Tags
Text within the heading tags H1-H6 are given extra weighing by search engines. Therefore it is important to use this tags and not simply use a larger font size. The headline tags function just like headlines in newspapers and they draw the reader and the search engines.

The opening headline should sum up the contents of the web page. It should be designed to attract both the reader and the search engines and consist of your keywords/keyword phrases. It is often the same as your web page title or very similar to it.

The H2 tag is commonly used because most people find the H1 tag too large. The Headline tag should ideally be less than 40 characters (64 max). Short punchy headlines are generally better.

Your keyword should be in the opening sentence and once more in the first 500 characters (roughly 6 lines) or opening paragraph.

Other headline Tags H3-H6
These tags are used for emphasis and again should contain your keywords or some variation of it. These are ideally used for secondary keywords. Again the body text following the headline should contain your keyword at least once.

Name Your Pages

Give your pages a descriptive name with the "title" tag. This is vital. Google displays search results as a link using the web page’s title. A link called “untitled” isn’t enticing. When appropriate, use the page’s keyword phrase in the title.

Make Your Graphics Search Friendly
If your menus are in Flash, they might as well be invisible. Consider making plain text links in addition to or instead of Flash.
Give your images tags. Not only does it make your website more accessible to the visually impaired, it also gives you another chance to place your keywords where Google can see them.

Finally
In the end, strong, well organised pages are pages that Google tends to rank higher. They're also pages that tend to become more popular, which means Google will rank them even higher. Keep good design in mind as you go, and much of the SEO will design itself,Good Design Is Popular Design

Use Linking to improve your website ranking

Discover how to use linking to improve your website ranking, these tips may not make your website appear in the 10 ten list, but they will help you move up a in the ranking list.

Why Build Links ?

The purpose of links is to provide value for you visitor and when a webmaster from another site links to you, that link should also provide value to his visitor. So don't look just to exchange links- Look to exchange value.

Building Links are also a very important source of traffic.You may even find that some links bring more traffic than the search engines. In addition, the traffic provided by links is generally consistent and not subject to the vagaries of your search engine ranking.


Link Types

One-Way Inbound Links

The best type of links to get are simple inbound links. These are obtained by other website owners linking to you because you are considered an authority in a particular filed or the article/web page is particularly relevant. These type of links will come if you produce high quality content web pages.

The other way of getting simple inbound links is from directories. Most, but not all, directories will list your website without requiring you to link to them.

Reciprocal Links

After getting listed in as many relevant directories as possible the next stage is to build inbound links by using a link exchange mechanism. You link to a website and in return they will link back to you. This type of link is a reciprocal link.
The important thing to remember when exchanging links to other sites is to only exchange links to websites that are relevant to your own website theme.


Link Exchange Process

The first step is to find Websites to Exchange links with. There are two ways of doing this the manual method or by using software tools that will search out related websites for you.

When usine linking to improve your website rankings then use both the manual method and the software method.

Manual Link Exchange Method
In order to find websites that are willing to exchange links do a search on your keywords and then take a look at the competitors websites resource/links page. This page will contain links to other websites from your competitors site .


Link Cheating

To keep all the page rank to themselves some webmasters request a link exchange but place your link on a page that the search engines never see and so the link from them to you has no real value to you but your link has value to them.
There are various techniques that they use to accomplish this and some are very difficult to spot without detailed research.

Link Farms - Stay Clear

A link farm is basically a website of links and nothing else. Be very wary of any promotion or offer that promises to put your link and a thousand websites. Don't exchange links with any site you suspect as being part of a link farm.

Ignore spam and websites that offer to submit your website to hundreds of search engines. At best these are wastes of time or money and at worst they can actually hurt your ranking.



Conclusion

I would aim to get around 10 good links relatively early from directories and themed hubs and then build links gradually as needed or as and when you find a good site to link with. Don't spend all your time trying to build links after the initial links have been established, the extra links have less of an impact (for rankings in Google).

If you would like to exchange links with a good content site, then go to Home Based Business Opportunities, have a look for the LINK to US sign, and add your details to (add your site here)

3 ways to make money on your blog

Now that you have a blog, why don’t you discover how to make money on your blog, it is not as hard as it sounds. Listed below are 3 of the best ways to start making money from your blog.

1. Sell advertising.
This is likely the most common way to make money on your blog. If yours happens to become a well-known blog, or one that is well-received in a particular niche, it's always possible to sell ad space on your own. For lesser-known blogs, services such as Google's AdSense or BlogAds enable bloggers to establish ad programs.

Advertising can be broken into two section CPC ( Cost per Click ) and CPA (Cost per Action)

The top 3 CPC Networks are,

AdSense.
Google AdSense is probably the best known and most widely used way to make money on your blog. It is very simple to setup, offers ads relevant to your content from a large number of trusted advertisers, pays about 60% of the click to you and pays out reliably.

YPN.
People who have used YPN have said that they earn more per click when compared to AdSense revenue generated from the same site. Payment is also reliable, offering the choice of payment via check or direct deposit. However, if you run a very topic-specific blog, YPN would not be my first choice CPC program on ways to make money on your blog.

Chitika.
Chitika will contextually pick a product and display a price, image and short description. Payout is reliable and can be sent straight to your PayPal account, something which is sure to attract many. Chitika is most suited to commercial blogs. If you blog on a topic such as iPods, PSP, gaming, electrical accessories you will more than likely find Chitika generates a good revenue stream.

The top 2 CPA Networks are,

AdBrite.
If you have a high traffic blog, then I would highly recommend signing up for AdBrite. This is a marketplace where advertisers can browse for sites and pay for their textual advertisement to appear. It isn’t contextual and can be used alongside AdSense and YPN. The cost for a link on your blog is worked out by your traffic and sector. So the more traffic you have, the more ways you make money on your blog.

Text-Link-Ads
You can apply to have your blog included in their marketplace so that advertisers can pay for their static text link on your site. Most of the buyers using this network are doing so because they want the benefit of the link from your site, but luckily you can choose who gets to appear. Implementing Text-Link-Ads on your site is quick and easy way to make money on your blog.


2. Help sell others' products.
Affiliate programs enable your blog to serve as a conduit between readers and online sites offering various goods and services. One popular choice is Amazon.com. If, for instance, you offer book reviews or even just mention a book in passing in your blog, an affiliate program provides a means for your readers to click directly from your blog to Amazon to obtain further information about the book. If they break out the checkbook or charge card, you get paid as well, this is a great way to make money on your blog.

Azoogle Ads.
AzoogleAds is a Cost Per Acquisition network, which certain people have major success with. Let’s say you have a blog about mobile phones, then you could offer a free ringtone download that would then pay out a few bucks once the customer downloads the ringtones. AzoogleAds have an excellent reputation in terms of their customer care and revenue share, you’ll find that they pay out more than any other affiliate network. On the downside, AzoogleAds do not have the widest range of offers, but if you are in the auto / finance / tech sector you’ll be well catered for.

Commission Junction.
These guys have been around for ages and have an absolutely gigantic number of affiliate programs to sign up to. If you have a blog that reviews products, chances are you will be able to find a suitable affiliate program in the CJ network and make money from your affiliate referrals. Your cut of each sale is not constant though, so make sure and check what % you get from each advertiser you sign up with.

3. Solicit contributions.
Not every blog-related income opportunity involves hawking goods
or services. consider relying on the kindness of strangers by asking for contributions. If for instance, your small-business blog supports a cause or issue in some fashion — say you repeatedly mention tax reform, health care or some other topic — you can always ask for reader support.

Even if you've attracted a group of regular followers who simply enjoy reading what you have to say, they may be willing to underwrite their loyalty with a little financial help. Programs such as PayPal make it easy to establish a simple on-site contribution collection button. Not the best way of generating revenue, but you can give it a try.

PayPal is the best option of receiving funds. Or you could set up an Amazon gift list.

How to choose a Home Based Business Web Host

Now days trying to identify a home based business web host can be a very daunting task especially when there are so many available nowadays and all of them promise one thing or another. Iit is crucial that before you jump in, you do your own homework or research for selecting the most appropriate web hosting company for your internet home based business website.

Most web hosts provide various services in addition to their basic ones, if you are running an e-commerce website, then of course you need high end security and tools like a shoping cart and a way of accepting credit card payments, through which you can manage your web content efficiently. If you are loading and storing large files like photos and videos then data transfer and disk storage will be more important to you.

There are so many different terminology that just trying to understand what they mean can be another daunting task, below I have written a few of the more common terms and what they mean.


Auto responder: An email address that is set up to automatically reply to the sender with a previously prepared response.

Bandwidth (Data Transfer): The amount of data that you are allowed to transfer (usually monthly). Data = images, text, audio files, video files and everything else that a server transfers to a user's web browser. Web sites that get a lot of visitors (and page views) need larger amounts of data transfer (or bandwidth).

CGI: Common Gateway Interface. A program that translates data from a web server and then displays that data on a web page or in an email. CGI scripting can add numerous interactive elements to a Web site.

Control Panel: An online interface often used to facilitate Web site management and editing. Control panels often allow hosting customers to perform basic functions (make changes, check data, etc.) without contacting customer service.

Disk Space (Storage Space): The storage capacity for images, HTML files, audio files, video files, graphics, etc. A Web site planning to have a large amount of pages and/or planning to use a lot of images (or other large files) will need a greater amount of disk space.

Email Forwarding: When email sent to different email addresses is automatically sent (forwarded) to another specified email address. For example, you could have multiple email addresses (i.e. info@domain.com, support@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com) that would all be forwarded to one address (i.e. whatever@domain.com) for easy checking and responding.


FrontPage Extensions: A set of programs and scripts that allow specific features of a Web site created with FrontPage to perform correctly.

IP Address: Internet Protocol Address. A unique number identifying all devices connected to the Internet


MySQL: A popular open-source relational database. UNIX hosting plans often include MySQL databases.


Perl: A programming language that facilitates data management and processing.

PHP: A scripting language. PHP commands are embedded within the HTML of a Web page and is useful in the arena of dynamically generated pages. PHP scripting can add numerous interactive elements to a Web site.

POP3 Email Account: POP3 email allows all emails addressed to your domain to go to one place. If a host allows multiple POP3 email boxes, you can have multiple (separate) email addresses.

Setup Fee: Initial fee charged by a host to create your hosting account.

Storage Space (Disk Space): The storage capacity for images, HTML files, audio files, video files, graphics, etc. A Web site planning to have a large amount of pages and/or planning to use a lot of images (or other large files) will need a greater amount of storage space.

Subdomain: A subdomain is a division of a Web site, a section set apart with a different sub-domain name. For example, subdomains of Web site "domain.com" could be "support.domain.com," "clients.domain.com," etc.


Web Statistics: Reports on visitors to your Web site. Statistics range from basic (how many visitors), to advanced (referring URL, search phrase, etc.).

Finally,
Some web host offer the facility of having a reseller account where you can get paid a commission by refering people to the web host, normally you can expect a commission of $10.00 a month.

How to choose Your Web Host

When starting your own Internet Home Based Business, the most crucial point to decide on, is who is going to host your website, this decision is even more important than deciding on your name for your home based business.

So before deciding on a web host for your internet home based business, keep in mind the following as these features can make running your home based business a little easier,


Reliability
Pricing
Speed
Disk Space / bandwidth
Support / Security

Reliability
Make sure you go with a reliable host with world-class data centres and 24/7 maintenance and protection. Once again research is the key word, time spent on good research will save you hours of heartache later on.You can research various web hosts on forums and user reviews to find out more about their track record. You can lose valuable clients if your internet home based business site is down 20% of the time.

Pricing
You need to compare pricing before you finally decide on a web hosting service for your internet home based business. Some may provide you better services but at low pricing. It's not always true that the best hosting services are always the most expensive. Do your research and then decide, some hosts try to entice you with rock bottom prices but then restrict you to a single domain name or very low bandwidth. Many free hosts are unreliable and go out of business. Great hosting plans can be found for less than $10 a month, so you don't necessarily have to sacrifice quality to get a good price.

Speed
Keep in mind the 10 second rule, if your internet home based business site is taking ages to load, you will already have lost some of that all important 10 seconds. So If your website does not give visitors an understanding of what it is about within 10 seconds, they will leave. Just think If your website is taking seven seconds to load itself, you are probably losing the majority of your visitors.

Disk space and bandwidth
In the beginning it will be hard to decide on how much bandwidth you would require for your internet home based business site, so compare the various bandwidth sizes against what you are paying for. When we talk about disk space, it's actually the amount of storage assigned to you by the web hosting provider. The bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to access and leave your website. In case your website has a lot of graphics then you would require higher storage area and greater bandwidth. If you start of with a low bandwidth initially, is it possible to upgrade? Web hosts can suspend your account or charge you overage fees if you go over your allotted amount.

Support, Security
Security and backups are two very important aspects that you need to consider. You should always choose a web hosting service with reliable telephone support. Some also offer 24/7 support through local or toll-free numbers. In case you are running an ecommerce home based business website then security is one aspect that you just cannot discard.

Finally.
Did you know that some web hosting companies offer you a chance to act as a reseller, so if you are happy with their service, you can promote their services and in that way your hosting fees will be paid for by itself. One such company is Host4Profit, where you get paid $10.00 for each person that you refer.

Today, there are so many different home based business opportunities to choose from, that finding the right one for you can seem like a never ending search.

Why a Home based Business
In the past it was just as difficult to make extra cash online as a student to set up their own business as it was to find employment, but that has changed now. Low start-up costs mean that anyone can begin to earn cash online. If English is your first language you have an advantage, but on the other hand if you live in a country where the US dollar is worth a lot more, you can benefit from the exchange rate by earning your income in dollars and doing your spending in your local currency.

The main advantage for looking at a home based internet business to make extra cash online as a student are,

• little start up cost, as little as $50 a month.
  
• no equipment needed – most students have laptops or access to one
  
• Internet connection – wireless or university library or Internet Cafes
  
• No travelling – work from your own dorm
  
• No Stock or supplies to keep.
  
• Flexibility – works 24 hours a day, even while you are in class
  

How to Choose the best home based internet business

There are a few criteria that you need to have a look at when deciding which home based internet business you will choose to make extra cash online as a student. By keeping these criteria in mind, you will not get sucked into all the scams that are out there.

Product
Is the product user friendly, time is off the essence and you do not have hours and hours trying to figure the whole system out. You must know and understand the product as quickly as possible. It should be something you are proud of and not embarrassed to sell to friends or family. Will you use the product on an ongoing basis?

Payment Plan
Is there a lucrative pay plan? By lucrative I mean is it good money and worth your time and efforts. Is it worth your time to make $10.00 a sale or are you looking for larger sums of money like $1,000.00 per sale.
Understanding the pay plan seems to go without saying. However many network marketers get into a company thinking they understand how the plan works, only to be disappointed on their first payment.

Business
You should know or be able to find information on the company. Ideally they should be a well established program, you should know something about the founders. Know if they are well established marketers or business people.
The most important aspect in your investigation of the company should be to ensure they are not some fly by night operation. If you are going to spend your time, money and efforts selling a product for them, you want to know they are going to be here tomorrow.

Support
Who is there to help you? Very often when you join a home based internet business there is no one there to support you; the person that signed you up might have just joined a few days ago themselves.
Make sure the company emphasizes a team atmosphere. Know you will have at least a support desk to contact with questions. This is your business, but being left out in the cold can be lonely and self-defeating.

Finally
By looking at these four simple criteria you have a much better chance of success in your best home based internet business in how to make money as a student.

How to Start A Internet Business

Make Money from your Home Business website

Now you have got a web site, whether it is only for a hobby or a home based online business? The big question is how do you make money from your website. The answer is simple – with Affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is absolutely the best way to get your Internet home based business off to a fast start and this is primarily because you can either get paid a commission for selling goods as an affiliate or you can open up an account as a Publisher and promote your own product.

What is affiliate marketing

In affiliate marketing, people that have nothing to do with your Internet home based business or your product, will sell your product on your behalf in exchange for getting a cut of the profits. For example, on a major affiliate marketing website like Clickbank or PayDotCom a typical product that is sold for $50 might give anywhere between $20 and $40 of that money to the affiliate that created the sale. This allows you to market on your own (for the full $50 per product) as well as enlist the help of others on the terms that you only pay them when they make a sale.


How to Start with Affiliate marketing
Usually the process of signing up to be an affiliate is fairly simple. You will be provided with an affiliate marketing ID and a website page in most cases. The requirement from you is to advertise that sales page in order to sell the products or get others to sign up as an affiliate. You will earn a certain amount of commission on all the sales you make and the sales your referrals make.

But remember sell only products that are related to your niche. If your home based online business website is about exotic fish, most of your site visitors are probably interested in fish. Products having to do with breeding fish, fishtanks, making money with exotic fish, and buying exotic fish at a discount are all products that would do well.

Promoting your affiliate Marketing business

Incentives For Buyers
You must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your internet home based business site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.

Social networking
In Social networking each site has it's own individual regulations. In some sites, an affiliate might be allowed to link directly to an affiliate marketing product or program for instance, while in other sites, you may be restricted to some links which lead to your own blogs or internet home based business websites only.

By joining social networks that allow users to link to an affiliate marketing sales page, or to your own Web site or blog, you can considerably increase the amount of profits you're making as an affiliate.

Article Marketing.
One of the best ways to get long term traffic for your internt home based business website is by submitting articles, with your website's link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is.

Finally
Promote your internet home based business by using a number of different marketing techniques. Write articles, place free ads, place paid ads, use solo, ezine and classified ads, email, ppc and as many other different marketing techniques as you can think of. By using a diversified approach, you can determine which sources work best for you. Then focus on those methods that perform the best.
