Generate Web Traffic – Use SEO

One of the critical pieces to building a business especially online is learning how to generate web traffic. I currently work with a couple of methods but the one I wanted to share today was a low cost method I use every day.

Generate Web Traffic – Using SEO

One of the cool things about building a business is that there are so many ways to drive traffic. The 2 main ways are free and paid. In my book they are both paid since your either using money or time. People these days don't put enough emphasis on what their time is worth and just throw it around like it's worthless. I would highly recommend new people to the industry to understand working something for free doesn't work out in the end.generate web traffic

Let's stay on point and talk about how to generate web traffic using SEO.

SEO stand for Search Engine Optimization. It is essentially the art of marketing your business on the internet so search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing will drive their customers to you.

I love this type of business model since it's like opening a store and allowing people to visit depending on their needs. There is very little forced advertising in this method and the amount of traffic generated is primarily determined on what your marketing in terms of keywords.

Sure there are other ways to drive traffic like social network syndication but SEO in my opinion is one of those things that really just worked for me and my business.

SEO will take a couple of skills but the ones I would like to focus on are: (more…)

wwww.google.com – Don’t Need It

If your looking for www.google.com but you keep typing wwww.google.com with the 4 w's then your doing it all wrong.

It's not so much you typed an extra w but more like you typed an extra 4 w's.

The correct way to get to google is just type:

“google.com”

Here is the difference. Most website browsers like IE, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome will treat the address bar like a search engine if an address isn't typed.

If you typed “google” then it will do a search for Google but not pull up the google website. If you want to go to the full google site I would just type “google.com”.

wwww.google.com – stop using it

The internet is a great way to do research, have fun, and just waste time. But do you really want to waste time on using the internet the wrong way? Sure it's just one more step but if you continue to refine your searching experience you will save more time to do crazy videos on youtube or waste more time on facebook. (more…)

Google Keyword Sandbox Real?

The Google Keyword Sandbox is alive and kicking. If you have been doing a good amount of website creation, article marketing, SEO, blogging, and video marketing you would have experienced this before.

So What Is The Google Keyword Sandbox?

The Google Keyword Sandbox is a normal occurrence a market will experience if they build too many links to their website too quickly.The normal rankings for the site in terms of SERP will basically drop the site off the radar in dramatic fashion.

So Is the Google Keyword Sandbox Bad?

Many webmaster fear the google keyword sandbox because the whole point of search engine marketing is to get found organically with search engines and especially with  Google. More experienced marketers will probably have experienced one or both of these results with a google sandbox.

1) The site gets google keyword sandboxed and drops off the rankings and stays there for some time.

2) The sit gets google keyword sandboxed and drops off but reappears at a higher ranking. (more…)

Ways To Make Extra Money – Writing

One of the cool things I do on a daily basis is test different ways to make extra money online. See, there are a lot of people struggling without jobs but there are an even bigger segment that work a day job yet want to supplement their current income to afford the better things in life like vacations, living upgrades, and eliminating debt. I've used many ways to make extra money to pre pay my kids college tuition and even upgrade the ride I have.

Ways To Make Extra Money – Writing

One of the cool things that has popped up since the internet became mainstream is that there are so many people now that can make a pretty nice chunk of change just by writing online. This is one of the easier ways to make extra money because there is very little training outside of your own creative writing skills. If you have a passion and don't mind typing then writing online is a good way to get some cash pumping in.

One way I started was going to a product review site called epinions. There were one of the first places I noticed that would allow you to write product reviews and actually get paid on traffic that took action on your page. There are some guidelines to follow but generally nothing too strict and primarily for those NOT looking to use this for off page backlinks. If your just looking for ways to make extra money with absolutely no up front cash then writing on sites like epinions just makes sense. Now the returns will not be ground shattering but in the global scale of business there is so little up front investment that it doesn't matter as long as you can put in realistic expectations.

Epinions is a free site to join and there are NO referral commissions anymore. So you can click the link below if you want to link to my profile and see some of the things I wrote YEARS ago (November 2008 was last article I wrote for epinions) and still get paid a residual income from.

The pay isn't great but it's residual.

This was my first taste on leverage and working smarter. I gave myself a raise by working and writing.

Frys Electronics Customer Failure

Frys Electronics = Customer Failure

If you are unfamiliar with Frys Electronics, it is one of those large electronic stores that sells everything from dvds, tvs, and even vacuum cleaners. Until recently there was not one close to where I lived and the trek there was at least 40 miles. With the closures of Circuit City and CompUSA, Frys Electronics has been building up a good fan base here in SouthWest Houston.

Frys Electronics – In The Beginning For Me

One of the unique aspects of Frys Electronics is that most of the stores you will see will have a very unique entry way. The one in north houston has a oil rig theme and the one  in Austin has a huge piano coming out from the sign. (more…)

Why Do Businesses Fail Especially Online?

So I wanted to bring  you part 2 of Mr. Beistle's training on how he achieved success and he was diving into “why do businesses fail” concept.

If you missed my previous post on business building with Mr. Beistle's Here is Part One – The Golden Rule of MLM Recruiting

So….

Why Do Businesses Fail?

I briefly talked about this in previous posts but I wanted to put the entire training in it's entirety here.

Here is what Mr. Beistle had to say:

I know the title of this chapter is extremely harsh, and you probably don’t want to hear it. The good news is that I will show you how to avoid failure. So be sure to read every word of this chapter.

Now I’m sure you know how important following up with all of your prospects is so I won’t get too in-depth here. But the sad truth is that this is were the vast majority of networkers drop the ball mostly through no fault of their own.

Why Do Businesses Fail?

I’ve personally coached and mentored hundreds, if not thousands of people over the years, and because of it, I’ve gained tremendous insight into why people succeed and why the majority businesses fail.

The top reason why people fail is because they simply don’t market or advertise their business. Thankfully there’s a really easy solution to this problem – start marketing and advertising your business!

But it’s the second reason why do businesses fail that we’re really interested in. And sadly, it’s also one of the hardest to fix.

Reason #2 why people fail with their business is because they fail to follow up with their prospects properly. I’ve identified three main reasons why this happens. They are: (more…)
