Google Services – Need to have moral responsibility???

•July 14, 2007 • Leave a Comment

Google is a brand name and has very high reputation all over the world. Very high percentage of surfers use Google for web search and almost every website publishers try to earn revenue from Google AdSense. Many website publishers opt for Google AdWord for their site promotion. How Google has reach to this position? Their hard-work and support from the mass for the good work they been doing.Support indirectly increases expectation on your performance and one always need to be innovative to perform better in this competitive environment.
 
Recently I got a very interesting feed back from one of my website visitor. He complained about a program which I promote. I went back to my research work and found the site having PR 5. I checked the said link on Google search engine and very surprisingly found links on the first page itself stating the program to be a scam. What is my moral responsibility now? I am not a brand name but I still need to check back with the promoter of the program and try to find out the reason of someone stating this as a scam. This what I would do and if found the answer satisfactory, would revert back to the person who complained. If the feed back I get is not satisfactory, I would withdraw promoting the program on my site. This is what I think is my moral responsibility.
 
Google has comprehensive policy regarding ranking of websites. You can not buy a page rank for sure. They have their own algorithem and conservative policies. After all these hurdles, when a website gets a PR 5, will you believe it as a scam? But, someone still pointed out a finger with valid reasons and I believe, Google need to have inspected and get clarification from the promoter regarding the complain or else remove the site from Google Index till the complain is resolved. Google need to have system of collecting all informations of ranked websites for it’s own reputation.That way, Google can fool-proof the ranking system itself. I can shrug off my responsibilty as it wont matter to me much but Google has a brand to protect and by doing what I am going to do Google could have taken it’s services to another level. If people depend on you so much, your responsibility increases a lot.
 
The same problem exits with Google Adense and Google AdWord. They expose all the advertisements they get paid for. Thats fine, you doing a business and doing it great. But, what about the scam sites you taking to people. The program I have mentioned was once no1 sponsored link in Google for the keyword “home based business”. ” Ads by Google ” means a lot to devoted Google fans and if they by chance land up to some scam sites where does Google”s reputation stands then?
 
I believe, it is very very difficult task to  check each and every sites before they get published. But then, you are a Brand name, you have to innovate ideas and get these difficult jobs done.
 
The bottom line is, yes, Google sure doing a great job but there are some holes still remained unplugged.

Online Homebased Business – Marketing Tips

•June 5, 2007 • 6 Comments

Regardless of what you sell online, your website need to have a convincing salescopy. Even if your product is the best of it’s kind, a weak salescopy will not be able to convert the visitor to a buyer. So, how should you write a salescopy to turn the heat on?

When it comes to your online business, your salescopy is your one and only chance to communicate directly with your potential customers and tell them why they should buy from you over someone else. Your salescopy should make the visitors feel that this is exactly what they are looking for. It should be like a good salesman – taking attention of your customer, expalining the benifits of the product and finally building trust to convert the visitor to a buyer.

There are few important points, if taken care of in your salescopy, can increase the conversion rate drastically.

1) TARGET YOUR POTENTIAL BUYER

You first need to know the kind of buyer of your product. You must know exactly who your niche market is and then target your salescopy to precisely what they’re looking for if you want them to stay on your site long enough to buy something. Whoever they are, you need to write in a voice that appeals to them. Teenagers, man, woman – everyone gets convinced in different ways. Write your salescopy accordingly.

2) ATTENTION-GRABING HEADLINE

This what will bring a potential buyer to your site. It should be straight to the point and promise an answer to what the visitor is looking for. If you keep your headline highly relevant, simple, and specific, chances are good that your reader will continue on to read more of what you have to say.

3) ESTABLISH YOUR CREDIBILITY

You have to prove very early on that what you’re about to tell them can be trusted or else they are just a click away from hundreds of other websites offering same products or services. How can you do that?
a) Give your credentials – Detailing your credentials helps to establish you as an authority on your subject in the eyes of your reader, and will put you one step closer to making the sale.
b) Use testimonials – The key is to make sure your testimonials are specific, describing the exact results your customer gained by using your product or service.
c) Add gurantee – A strong guarantee showing you stand behind what you’re selling helps alleviate their concerns and reduce the risk of buying from you.

4) TALK ABOUT BENEFITS, NOT JUST FEATURES

Your potential customers want to know how your product or service will make their lives easier. So, focus on benefits not just features. If possible give away some free gifts as an additional benefits.

5) REASONS TO BUY RIGHT NOW

Don’t let loose the momemtum you have created. The visitor might think to surf around for a while before comming back and close the deal. In most of the cases, they never come back. You need to add urgency for immediate sale. Offering a limited quantity of products or offering them only for a limited time can give them the nudge they need to pull out their credit cards. Coupons or discounts that expire also motivate potential customers. Another option is to offer a special bonus item for a limited time.

With these copywriting techniques and a little practice, you could be turning a whole lot more of your website visitors into paying customers.

About to quit ? Wait, read this.

•May 19, 2007 • 1 Comment

This what is the common feeling of 90% home based business entrepreneurs. Why?

Let us look at the the way a home based business is started. Most of the entrepreneurs jump into a business without the basic knowledge. They get inspired by the bank statements and testimonials they get to see in well written websites or start a business as someone else seems to be earning a lot from a particular business. This is not the way to start a home based business. That is why most of the home based entrepreneurs never succeed, get frustrated and quit very soon.

It reminds me of a story I read. A gentleman from south africa was convinced by a broker to sell off all his fortunes to buy a place which was supposed to be rich of diamonds. He then started digging the place and kept doing it for months without spotting a single diamond. He was totally broke by then and could not continue anymore. Frustrated, he sold off the place to someone else and was happy to get back some money to start something else. The other guy, deputed an expert first for thorough investigation. He then got organised with the proper machineries and work force to get the things done as earley as possible. In the meantime, the expert got his research work done. The stack of diamond was just about a feet below where the first person left. In few years time, this guy became a millionaire.

The fact is you can not succeed just by working hard. You first need to take an expert’s opinion if you are unable to do the research work yourself. You need to have proper tools and resources to execute what you are advised to do. Above all, you should not be a quitter because the success might be just a few feets away.

Article Marketing – Why so Important?

•May 7, 2007 • 4 Comments

Well, this is one of the easiest ways of getting more exposure of your website to the right kind of people you looking for. This indirectly increases your search engine ranking for which you keep working so hard all the time.

Unfortunately, very few of the business entrepreneurs take this seriously as a website promotion opportunity.

If you have a new website, you always keep looking for high ranking websites to get linked to as a part of search engine optimization. This is what we are told to do as a beginner. As we try doing so, we realise that all the high ranking websites are not keen to exchange link with a website not ranked yet. I don’t know of others but it sure made me frustrated and dejected. As you request for a link exchange, you first need to have their link in your website but very few of them will show courtesy to reply back and add your link. This way, my link page was full of links with very few of them linking back to my site.

Google always suggest you for quality link but how would you get a quality link? This is when I did my own research. The basic thought I had in mind was that these guys too had gone through this phase but got good links back for sure, how?

To be very honest, you still will get kind webmasters out there for your guidance. The good advice I got was that of submitting articles and joining forums. I found out from my own research, the high ranking article publishing websites and the forums to get linked to. If your article is good enough, these article directories publish them on their sites. You always get a chance to add your website url as the resource and get a quality link back to your site automatically. It sure is easier then sending link request to hundreds of webmasters for their obligation. Many blogs are hooked to these directories and republish them for their own readers. This increases more links and traffic to your website for which you were ready to spend lots of money. So, every article gives you a quality link and traffic without much hard work.

Many affiliate entrepreneurs are driving customers to their site by writing articles on their products and submitting them to the right directories. Every directory does not take affiliate links as the resource. You have to do your own research about it and find out the ones those except.
I am sure not a great author but I did manage to write few good articles which has helped me building good quality links back to my website in a very short time. Traffic to my site has increased, sign-up rates has gone high and my AdSense revenue is increasing every day. If you are in that process right now, my suggestion is to focus on writing articles and keep submitting them to the quality article directories in regular intervals.

Above all, articles are useful documents for others. You are helping your community with resources that might help them succeed in their lives. If you happen to learn something, be honest to share those with others. Honesty is the best way to your own success my friends.

Search Engine Optimization

•May 6, 2007 • 2 Comments

What is search engine optimization? Yes, that what is first thing to understand. If you have a website, you would like lots of people to visit your site. How would you let people to know about your website?

Recent statistics show that most of the sites visited by surfers are through search engines and the trend is increasing very fast. So, if you have a website to announce, you need to submit your site to popular search engines for greater exposure.

Search engines on their own way inspect your site and rank it according to their own ranking systems. Higher ranking of your site gets more exposure to the surfers. So, how do you get higher ranking on search engines? That is what search engine optimization is all about.

Search engine optimization starts from the building of your site itself. That is why you need to know about search engine optimization before you even start making a web site. This is from my own experience. If you don’t want to take all the troubles of search engine optimization, you can just let SEO experts to handle about it or else do learn the basics, which will help you take every steps with clear concept.

Search engine optimization is not at all an easy job but if you have patience, interest to learn, follow the guidelines and have no money in pocket – you will find it not so difficult too.

There are lots to learn about search engine optimization but I would just touch the basics that would help the beginners.

1) Your website need to have keywords by which surfers search for websites on search engines. If your site is about store, one of the keyword for your website is “store” and you need to use this word all over your site judiciously. Search engines rate pages with more keywords as more relevant results, and score them higher. But, never over do it or else search engine will consider it as spamming.

2) One of the most important thing is to choose a domain name. Make sure that your keyword or key phrase is present in your domain name to your advantage on search engine ranking. It is recommended that you purchase the domain name that contains your keywords. If you have more then one keywords, separate them in the url with hyphens “-”.

3) The title tag of your page should have your prominent keywords in it to increase your ranking in search engines. The content of the Title tag is displayed by browsers on the Title bar located at the top of the browser window.

4) It is important that the keyword is present in the very first heading tag on the page regardless of its type. If the keyword is also used as a first word, you will raise its prominence.

5) Do remember a very important thing – never manipulate or try to fool search engines in any way. That will spoil your site’s reputation and you might spoil all your hard work by doing so.

6) Check out Google’s Webmaster Help Center for important and useful information.

With these guidelines, you can start building your website and when finishedHealth Fitness Articles, check out Web CEO for fine tuning.

Guidelines – Earning Online

•May 2, 2007 • 1 Comment

Well, there are literally thousands of ways to earn a living working online. It will take you days to keep trying out for a home based business, which really works for you and in that process you might get frustrated halfway and give up the whole process. I too have gone through the same phase but never loosen my heart, which finally paid up. I have spent lots of money in that process, read lots of e-books written by “gurus” and tried out all the ways I came to know about. I have spent lots of sleepless and frustrated nights and almost gave up. But, once it started working, I never looked back.

A home based business has no FAST and EASY money for sure.

You need to have patience and learn the trade religiously to start earning online. Without the correct knowledge you will waste precious time and load of money. If you are on the right track, you reach faster to your goal.

Getting into any available programs on “Home based business” or “Earning online” is not the right way to start with. You might land up into something which won’t motive you.

What you would like to do is a very important factor of success. If you work on something you are passionate about, you will have fun and the motivation to do it. Look for business where your passion is.

As an example, you might like to sell products online. In that case, you better join an affiliate program which have products of your likings. Affiliate programs can vary from web site to web site but the main idea behind affiliate program is that a web site will pay you for sending them buyers. There are thousands of affiliate programs out there to choose from. Any product you can think of has an affiliate program. This is what most of the Home-Based Entrepreneurs are doing right this moment to earn working online. You too can do it from your home at your own convenient time.

While choosing an affiliate program to earn online, you need to check out the followings.

1) High pay out 2) Effective product sale page 3) Competition of the product 4) Pay out dates 5) Minimum pay out 6) In demand products.

You will come across lots of programs offering to join free. Sooner or later, looking at the limited scope of earning as a free member, you going to upgrade yourself paying a fee.You then will start looking for promotion of the products. The fact is, you dont start earning online unless you invest. Frankly, if you are unwilling to invest money to start your own home based business, you don’t need a business, you need a job. If you are new to the business, you just need to learn to invest the money judiciously.

The key to earning online is knowing how and where to start. Earning online or a home based business is not as easy as it sounds. It is again not as difficult as you believe.

If you really want to generate true wealth earning online and looking for financial freedom working from home, you have to do something different. Early you do, faster you reach to your goal.

Home Based Business – Illusion? Does it really work?

•May 1, 2007 • 3 Comments

There are billions of sites registered in search engines for the keyword Home Based Business. Everyday, millions of surfers are searching for home based business on net. I believe that despite a very few percentage, all of them, including the website publishers, have the same question in mind.

I am not an expert or a guru to comment. I do not really know the ways of fast and easy money that some people claims to have already discovered but what I believe in is, if you learn any trade religiously, if you have passion behind your work – your hard work is not going to let you down.

There are lots of ground works to do before you actually start a business. You first need to know if a particular business suits your intelligence. You then should make a project report and survey the market for the particular business. Opinions from experts are always helpful. Do not ever jump into a business as because someone else seems to be making lots of money in it. Most of the home-based entrepreneurs do not follow these guidelines and finally keep asking themselves, “is it an illusion?”

Let me share my experience. It was almost 12 years back when I first started to look for home based business. I was very new to web world and not as smart as a modern day kid. To me, it was like in Hollywood where every other actress looks more beautiful and gorgeous. I could not resist myself and hooked to several programs hoping to start earning the next day. I almost forgot breathing and kept working several hours a day. It did not work because I did not do the basic learning. Hard work alone can’t bring success. You can’t copy other person’s success. You need to innovate ideas to outperform.

The question “does it really works” actually came to my mind too but I never loosen my heart. Leaving aside all the programs, I started from the scratch. I read lots of e-books written by gurus and tried out all the ways I came to know about. Once I discovered what worked, I added my own original ideas and perfected the process.

So, if I have to answer this question today, I would say yes, it works but not for those who are looking for fast and easy money on net. Do learn before you are into it. Do not get impressed by the testimonials and bank statements you would often come across on websites because the business may not be of your kind. To choose a right home based business is the toughest job. If you are looking for free programs, I advise to stay away. If you are unwilling to invest money to start your own home based business, you don’t need a business, you need a job.

If you follow these basic guidelines, if your lady luck keeps smiling on you, there is nothing that can stop you to be a successful home based business entrepreneur.
