Promote Beyond Pros For Free
So you are now looking at how to market that new website to get it known and flooded with traffic and the talk of the internet. You’ve done the PR route, and you’ve submitted links to various places on the internet. Now the free stuff is done, it’s time to break out the money and prepare to pay out the you-know-what for advertising. It’s a real shame there is no alternative … or is there?
Hordes of people are discovering there is another way, almost grass roots-like, and the idea is catching on like wild-fire.
Articles. That’s right, articles.
Basically it works like this: You write up a really nice and definitely informative article (think of giving to receive later), and you give it to article directories. You get a backlink from the directory now. Your article gets readers from search engines, and you now have people following your resource links to your website, and you are getting traffic. Laser-targetted traffic. The most ideal traffic there is.
But, that’s not all.
Websites and publishers can now pick up your article for free, if it’s left the same with active links, etc. So now, your article with your backlinks are all over the internet. So now, you get that stream of traffic times hundreds. And it’s free.
So let’s look at all writing articles can do beyond the obvious.
EXPERT
Your opinions and information are all over the internet, making you an instant expert. People want to go with experts for obvious reasons. This is a huge bonus by itself that advertising cannot do.
TRAFFIC
Laser-targeted, and pre-disposed to listen to whatever you have to say or sell. That is the absolute ideal visitor base, and as valuable as a golden egg.
BACKLINKS
You get backlinks from each and every place your article is put on. That is huge, and you can rack up several hundred backlinks a day easy. Backlinks are the holy grail of SEO and in making your website rank higher in search engines. Writing articles and getting all the backlinks is a huge boost into getting your website into the spotlight.
What I like to do is try to write at least 1 article a day and get it out to many many directories and websites. With the aging process, that article and backlinks continue to gain strength for weeks before become a bit old and not as valued at about 2 months in. Keep writing articles and your page rank will rise, your visitor traffic will increase, and your website will grow and mature in strength.
The things to keep in mind are these:
1. Make sure you are actually providing good and valuable information to your readers. This is not a sales ad, and you should not be trying to sell them on something. This is the time to freely give great information, and you will reap the rewards as new visitors/customers visit happy to see what else you have to say.
2. Put your backlinks in the last resource paragraph. You want the readers to read all you have to say before they leave the site.
3. Make it interesting. If the reader loses interest, they won’t read what you have to say, and you will lose a lot of the effectiveness.
4. Use the spellchecker. Typos causes a loss of credibility, and something easy to avoid.
So, writing articles is an easy as it appears. Just get in mind the topic and points you’d like to cover, and sit down and write. The more you write, the more you gain.

How To Increase Targeted Online Traffic To Your Web Site Leveraging Free Internet Video Streaming Services
One of the most significant milestones on the web this year has been the popularity of the use of videos on the Internet. There are a number of free services that enable Internet users to easily upload and store videos on the Internet for free. These videos can then be broadcast (streamed) free over the Internet, to be viewed and shared by other users.
We will look at a simple but often overlooked way to help you get potentially loads of traffic to your web site using Internet videos.
But first let’s establish the background to the phenomenon and why it is important for you.
The popularity of Internet videos have really sky rocketed in the recent few months.
Consider these figures. In 2005, there were very few free video hosting web sites. Yet, in the month of August 2006 alone, according to a comScore Media Metrix report, there were approximately 6.98 Billion online videos that were streamed by Internet users in the United States alone.
More interestingly, the average US Internet video user consumed 63.3 streams during August 2006 or approximately 2 streams every day.
For marketers, businesses or even the Government or non-profit organizations, this opens up a whole new possibility of getting in touch with their desired audience, in a content rich, interactive way that has never been possible before.
The huge number of online videos streamed every month should not come as a surprise, given the popularity of Google, MSN, Yahoo, You Tube and My Space web sites. These are some of the most popular sites in the world and each of them have incorporated a video service in their offerings in the recent months.
Traffic or Internet users are the fuel that helps generate revenue for most of these businesses. The revenue is earned by monetizing the traffic with targeted advertising.
You Tube the video hosting service was founded in February 2005, but famously bought by Google for $1.65 Billion dollars in October 2006. Although it seems like a large amount to pay, it was in fact a very strategic move by Google.
Based on the comScore report, for the month of August 2006, Fox Interactive (owned by News Corporation, which bought My Space) had 20.1% share of the total US video streams, followed by Yahoo with 11.8% share and then You Tube with 9.9% share of the streams. Google video was in fact in a distant 7th position with only 1.5% share.
Purchasing You Tube has enabled them to be a real challenger to Yahoo & Fox Interactive in the US market for Internet Video.
If we look at the numbers beyond the US, that is on a global basis, over 100 million videos were streamed on a daily basis by You Tube. This is a mind boggling number.
We are going to see more innovations in this area in the very near future from all the major players. All indications are that the popularity of Internet videos are likely to rise further.
So what might this mean for you, if you are a business, person or organization that would like to tap into and take advantage of this huge trend? Because this is so new, not many large corporations have figured out how to take advantage of the medium.
Most of the free video hosting and streaming services require you to register online and open an account (for free). You can then upload your video to the web site. You will be asked to provide a name for the video and then key words that describe the video. This is so that the videos can be categorized and also found by other users (your target audience). If you have your own web site, make sure this is mentioned in the video.
You can upload the video to a number of different free services. Why would you do this? To reach the widest possible audience for your marketing message, of course.
An interesting outcome of this is that in some cases this may drive huge amounts of traffic to your web. This is because, if your video becomes popular and there are other sites linking to it or it is being virally forwarded by the users, the search engines begin to take notice of your web site.
A case study in which a top 10 position in the search engines was achieved in under 24 hours using Internet videos to boost rankings is provided in a video at trafficgeysermethod.com. There is also a service here that takes one through the process of creating Internet videos, even if all you have is audio. You can create a simple slide show with a voice-over to create very effective, compelling videos.
If you wish to create full motion Internet videos, the process can quite straight forward and inexpensive.
Remember that the Internet videos do not need to be flashy, nor long or elaborate. The objective is to keep them clear, simple and easy to understand. Communication of the features and benefits that your product or service provides, differentiation or how it is different from other products or services that your competitors provide is important.
Finally, remember to include the unique value proposition that you have for your customers (ie. The reasons why your prospects should buy from you, rather than anyone else).
If you already have a digital video camera then you can start creating your video straight away. Your video camera will need some kind of direct connection to your computer. This can be by connecting either to the USB or FireWire ports. Some of the new Video Camera have the ability to record on a DVD straight away. In this case you can simply copy the contents of your DVD to your computer.
If you have an analog video camera, you can still create the required digital videos by using a converter.
Once you have video in digital form in your computer, simply log in to the account of the free video streaming service and upload your video. Ideally you can get wider distribution by uploading them to a number of different services in relevant category.
However uploading each video one by one to each service can be quite time consuming. The service trafficgeysermethod.com mentioned earlier in the article can help you with this, with a single upload and multiple distributions.
Your video is now ready for viewing and sharing. Sit back and enjoy the traffic.

Killer Work At Home Internet Business Traffic Strategy Are The Backlinks
In this case the dream can also be a real thing. The work at home internet business backlinks can be built up and, yes, they really bring the targeted traffic regularly. The search engines, which we try to help and serve, see the baclinks like votes from other work at home internet business sites. They see them as an evidence about the popularity.
The most important factor to the high page rank is the number and the quality of backlinks from other sites to your website. The more your site has them, the more useful it is for the internet searchers and the higher page rank your site will get. Sounds natural!
But how a heck to draw your work at home internet business site to the top place or even to the first page in the search engine search results? Okay, the process is called the search engine optimization. That means that you follow the rules, which the search engines use when they put the sites into the order of importance.
In the search engine optimization there is two things: onpage and offpage optimization. The offpage optimization is the most important. However, the core thing are the keywords, which people use when they search for the information. You just have to know, which keyword to use in all contents: sitepages, articles and blogposts. Software usage is recommend!
If you write articles, you have to use the same keywords than in your page, to where you direct the traffic. The work at home internet business article will then be distributed to thousands of sites and directories. The key is the Author Box: there must be your major keyword in the hyperlink, which is called the Anchor Text. That will tell to the search engines, to which keywords result page the site belongs. The more Anchor Texts the site has out on the other pages, the higher the site will appear!
Now you understand that to be able to get the first place on the result page, you have to win all other pages. You can do this, it is not complicated, when you know according which factors search engines set the pages in certain order. The only target is to get the first place, because that will bring the maximum amount of targeted web site traffic to your site.
It is wise to research the five first pages per proposed keywords, and see how many backlinks each of them have. If your site has 30 backlinks at Google, and the second page has 25, you most propably can pass it and reach the second place. So the search engine ranking is the competition between the number of backlinks! It is profitable to use high demand keywords, which fit with your work at home internet business strategy.
I recommend the article writing for the backlink building, because there are so effective distribution services online. If other work at home internet business marketers will place your article on their own site voluntarily, they are the best possible backlinks.
