Get The Results You Want From Your Website

Are you not getting the results you want out of your website? Could you unknowingly be turning away potential customers? We're going to look at a couple of things that could be causing you to lose customers and money. Don't worry though because once you know what your mistake is, it's easy to fix it and optimize your website.
When you first land on your website, what do you notice right away? What do you think your customer notices? Some novices when creating their website create a page that instantly attacks the prospect with pop-up ads or a loud playing video they can't turn off. Other create web pages that take forever to load, giving their potential customers ample time to decide they don't want to wait and leave to find another website.
Another thing that can turn away people is not having an easy to navigate site. Your website should have clear navigation links that are easy to find. If your reader gets lost, they may decide to leave instead of trying to tangle their way out of the mess. Not only should your links to navigate your page be easy to find but you should also seriously consider never changing the location they're in. This is for your return readers. If you have people who come to your site regularly, you don't want to frustrate them by moving the essentials around.
Also, take a look at your content. Is your content relevant and up to date? If your content is old, this could be why people aren't staying on your website. It's also a bad idea to use old content with the current date. Readers will find out and this can ruin your reputation. Don't do it! It's bad practice.
Now as you look at your website, are you distracted by advertisements like pop-up ads and banners? Is there flashing text and constant interruption? If so, let me ask you... what do you do when you come across a website like this? You probably don't stay around to see if it has great content. You probably just exit out quickly and find another website, right? Don't aggravate your readers by using too many advertisements.
Lastly, check your website for spelling, grammatical errors and broken links. No one will take you seriously if your website is full of errors like these that are so easy to fix. It gives the impression that you are too lazy or too stupid to do spell-check. It's very unprofessional and can easily turn away potential customers.
It's not hard to change your website to maximize your visitors and money. You only need to look at your website from a new perspective. Take the time to go through your website like you are a new visitor. Go to other websites and see what strikes you as helpful and what strikes you as unappealing. Then you can go back to your website and see if you are doing the same things. Once you've done that, go back through your website and look at it through the eyes of someone who has been to your website several times before. Is there anything you can change to make your website even better from this aspect? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make these changes, just a little time and effort.

Exact Match Domains

On September 27 2012, Google made a slight but significant change to their algorithm which altered the code for website rankings. The aim of this was to increase or decrease the websites rankings in relation to the quality of content and use of 'exact match domains'.
Essentially an exact match domain is using a 'keyword' as a company name or web address. If say, 'emergency plumber London' was searched for 1000 times a month and you had decided to name your company involving these keywords while uploading a small website to target these searchers with no care for the content, look or design then Google would penalise your results.
This exact match code update only impacted a small percentage of online businesses however ensured that more care went into to the name and website layout and prevented people taking advantage of keywords in the domain name. Beforehand those websites which ranked well because of using keywords were being ranked better than those websites which had original brand names and better designs.
This update did not mean that all websites that had used exact match as a domain name were to be forever ranked poorly. Instead, those who had used a keyword in their name and had built up a great website with relevant and quality content and marketing received a positive ranking. As long as these businesses meet the same relative positive engagement metrics which other websites had used they would continue to rank well.
The main impact of this was that a lot of the websites that had used exact match domains were dropped from search results altogether. This greatly benefitted those well-made websites and put the poorly thought-out websites to be where they legitimately belong, off the searches.
However you should keep in mind that this does not necessarily mean that using keywords in the domain name is a bad thing, it helps to establish at first glance what the subject of the website is. The change has targeted the low quality sites who can only increase their rankings by exact matches. Focussing on content will allow for a better ranking due to increased relevance and quality.
Instead of piling in the keywords into your website, try to keep keywords relevant and to a minimum. This eliminates the possibility of falling into the exact match algorithm and having your webpage deleted. Your website will look far more professional with less forced keywords and will have a much greater look to it. The main reason for this update was not to penalise those websites who had used keywords in their domain names but instead to stop other 'businesses' from taking advantage of the system to promote their poorly thought out site.

Making Money On YouTube Is So Simple If You Implement My Lead Sucking Strategy

Are you looking at making money on YouTube?
If so listen up, especially if you are in the network marketing/MLM industry and you are struggling at generating leads right now.
Read this article all the way through it's entirety so that I can help you out with that challenge that you are currently facing.
I'm going to show you how I generate free leads off YouTube and a killer, killer, killer strategy.
Now the very first thing that you must do if you are looking at making money on YouTube and generating leads is:
1. Create a customer avatar
The customer avatar is basically your ideal customer. What are their pains? What are their likes, dislikes, struggles, highs, lows, are they married, kids, no kids, where do they work, hobbies, religion, favorite sport, etc?
What keeps them up at night? What couldn't they live without? What's their age, name?What is the main reason they want to make money online or why they are looking to get involved in a network marketing business?
You have to know this. You have to be intimately involved with your customer. Here is the reason why. Every single video that you put out on YouTube (so you can be "making money on YouTube" obviously), you want to speak to that level of pain. You want to be able to solve whatever challenge they are going through right now.
2. Keyword research
You want to do keyword research on whatever you are going to make the video on. Here's what I personally do. And you want to make sure you follow exactly what I have to say because I generate a lot of leads doing this as well make sales.
I personally target network marketing companies. I target the HOT companies right now. And here's the reason that I target these hot companies, those that are getting attention right now so I can be making money on YouTube hand over fist.
Right now you can make a video on that company and instantaneously it can go viral.
Meaning let's say company XYZ is hot right now. If the right people see it on YouTube, I say the right thing in the video, then people are going to start liking it, commenting on it, and sharing it. The views will go up.
(By the way, that right there is what drives YouTube to place your video generally speaking on the 1st page).
This works because you are standing on the shoulders of giants. Meaning you are using a big name to get views for you.
There's a rule that you need to be aware of even when using this killer strategy. It's called the 80/20 rule. When you use this lead sucking strategy that I am teaching you right now you can't just do one video and think it will pull in a lot of leads.
You have to make a massive amounts of videos so you can generate the leads and ultimately be making money on YouTube. When I implement this strategy the 80/20 rule is still in effect. 80% of my results comes from 20% of my work. So that still means you have to put in the work.
I literally have over 600 videos on the internet right now. And as I mentioned above 80% of my results comes from 20% of my work.
3. What to say in videos
I say a lot of things in my video. If you watched any of them you know I'm telling the truth. The main point though is that I go back to my customer avatar. What are their pains and what are they experiencing right now.
And I know most people that are looking to get involved or already in a network marketing opportunity:
  • they are not making any money
  • don't know how to get leads correctly
I know that's the main problem they are having so I keep hitting that pressure point. At the end of the day I know what I am talking about. I know what I am doing. I'm not bragging it just is what it is.

I let people know hey you are either going to listen to me or you are not. It's no sweat off of my back because I have over 600+ videos on the internet right now and the right person is going to see what I am talking about. 
They are going to resonate with what I am saying. And guess what they are going to do? They are going to join me in business because they can tell I know what I am talking about.
That's one way that I create videos and am making money on YouTube. If you really want quality leads and quality people joining you in business then make sure you implement this strategy.

How to find a niche and domain name in 5 minutes

How to Start Making Money With ClickBank

Making money with ClickBank can be pretty easy, as long as you know what you are doing. In a nutshell, it simply involves doing some simple and duplicable steps that I will explain in this article. Making money with ClickBank can sometimes appear to be very hard, but it doesn't have to be, there are definitely no "secrets" to it.
Based on my affiliate marketing experiences, as long as you know what you are doing ANYBODY can make money with ClickBank. However, there is a process which you need to learn and follow, so lets begin!
Step 1. Creating Your ClickBank Account.
In order to sell ClickBank products, the first thing you need to do is to register as a ClickBank affiliate, and to do this you need to create your free affiliate account by following the next few easy steps in the process:
a). Go to ClickBank.com and complete the ClickBank affiliate sign up form. This will only take you a few minutes. It is a straightforward thing to do, just follow the instructions on ClickBank.com. It is important to make sure your contact details (email) are correct as ClickBank will confirm your affiliate account by email.
b). Once you receive your affiliate account confirmation email, click the link within the email and this will bring you to the confirmation page. This is where you can log-in via the log-in link at the top of the page.
When you have logged in you will then be taken to your account homepage, where you can keep track of your sales and earnings. Once here, you just need to enter some info in the Payment information section. There are 2 parts to this section, one for your preferred payment method, and the other for your payment thresholds. Payment method gives you the option to choose how you would like to receive your commissions. However, new affiliates can only receive their commissions by check, until they have made some consistent sales.
The Payment Threshold is the minimum amount you will need to earn in commissions before ClickBank will send your payment. You can edit this by clicking the edit link located in the top right hand corner of the payment information area.
Step 2. How to Select Your ClickBank Product.
Now, obviously selecting the right ClickBank product to promote includes some other important steps you will eventually need to explore, such as keyword research. As keyword research is outside of the remit of this article, and is a complete subject on it's own, you can find out more and read some of my keyword research articles by clicking the link contained in my author bio at the end of this article.
Now, back to the ClickBank Marketplace. On the My Account Homepage you will notice a link at the top of the page called "Marketplace." Click on it! You will now see a list of product categories, from which you can choose a product to sell. So choose a category and we can move onto the next stage of the process.
Assuming you have chosen a category, you should now be looking at a list of product results, now you need to take a number of factors into account BEFORE making your product choice, such as:
1. Gravity. - This tells you how many affiliates are making money with the product. I recommend choosing products with a gravity of 300 or more.
2. Avg %/Sale. - This gives you the average amount of commission that vendors will offer for each sale. I recommend promoting ClickBank products that offer 50% commission or more.
3. Avg Rebill. - This tells you whether or not this product is a subscription product or not. I recommend only choosing the products that will pay you a recurring monthly income, so ONLY choose a product that has a $15 or more rebill total in this field, because this means you will get paid this amount over and over again.
Now that you have selected your ClickBank product using the criteria above, you need create your unique affiliate link to begin promoting. ClickBank call this a "Hoplink".
To create your "Hoplink" you need to do the following (Don't worry this is easy):
1. Click the "Promote" button next to the product you have chosen.
2. On the next page called "Affiliate Program: Promote Products for (Vendor name)". You need to enter your account nickname (ID) then click "Create", and you will be presented with 2 affiliate links (Hoplink). You should copy these links and paste into an excel spreadsheet on your computer. Remember these are YOUR AFFILIATE LINKS that you will use for promotion and are how you get paid for each sale, so look after them as ClickBank will not store them for you.
You will notice that their are two Hoplinks, but unless you are a web designer with HTML coding knowledge, you should only need to use the shorter version (usually with the black font as opposed to the longer one in blue)
How to Start Making Money With ClickBank - Step 3.
Promoting Your Chosen Product.
So you should now have your FREE ClickBank account created with your first Hoplink to promote. There are many marketing methods you can choose, but beware of "marketing method overload" particularly if you are a newbie. This is when you try to master all marketing methods at once, and do not achieve your goals as you don't become competent at any.
So my advice is to choose a marketing method you are comfortable with, become a master at it, then move onto the next.
To start your making money with ClickBank journey, I highly recommend using Article marketing and Free Social Media to start with, particularly if you are on a limited budget, and especially if you have time as opposed to money.
However, if you are looking for fast results from your marketing, and you can spend some money, then paid advertising is the way to go, such as PPC or Solo-ads. There are far too many marketing methods to go into in this Article, but to find out more, simply click on the link to my blog contained in the author bio at the end of this article.
So there you have it, a quick and easy way for you to start making money with ClickBank, once you begin, if you are anything like me you will be astounded at just how easy it is to make money with ClickBank, and continuously add multiple streams of internet income to your bank accounts.

How to Use SEO to Maximize Your Traffic

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a key element to succeeding in internet marketing. SEO is basically altering your webpage to make it more accessible to your consumers by making it more visible to search engines. Generally, when you have a high ranking on the search results pages and when your website shows up on the page more than once, you will receive more visitors. If you haven't optimized your website for SEO, get started today with these helpful tips.

Are you already using keywords to optimize your page? Including keywords on your page is a vital step to becoming more visible to search engines and customers. The keywords you choose should match up with the content on your page. When selecting keywords to use for your site, you should include keywords that people would use to search for your site. Also, most experts suggest using common misspellings for some of your keywords because not everyone is a good speller and may miss your site because of it. Another way to use keywords to your advantage is to include keywords in your URLs.

Remember when deciding upon the keywords you want to use that it's very possible to overuse keywords. Keyword density is the percentage of how many times a keyword is used on a webpage out of the total amount of words. If your keyword density is too high, the search engine will conclude that your page is spam. That is the last thing you want to happen so be careful to find the right amount of keywords for your page.

Backlinks are another integral part of search engine optimization. A backlink is a link that links from a webpage to your webpage. Google uses backlinks to determine the relevance of your page by assigning each backlink as a vote towards your page. So, the more backlinks you have, the higher you will be ranked on Google. The important thing to remember about backlinks is that if you are creating fraudulent backlinks to your site, Google will recognize this and gloss over you. Only use legitimate backlinks, such as people putting up your link because they enjoy your content and want to share with their users.

One thing to remember when optimizing your site is user functionality. Your site should be easy to read and easy to navigate. Users want a carefree, simple yet satisfying experience with your website. It can be frustrating when you go to a site and can't find what you're looking for. Most people, if they can't find what they're looking for right away, will exit out of the site and go look for another. Don't miss the opportunity to service these people by making your site confusing with too many flashing bells and whistles.

Next, make sure you are updating often. This will only help search engines find you. The more information you have out there to be picked up, the more your business or webpage gets seen by possible customers.

If all else fails, consider contacting an expert in search engine optimization. There are companies and people out there who can help you reach your business goals. Sometimes, the best course of action is to ask someone who knows what you don't know.

Lastly, be patient. It will take time for the improvements you've made to change your rankings in the search engine's database. Keep working hard and it will come.
