Professional Search Engine Optimization is now available without the high upfront and monthly fees!

Professional search engine optimization is something that no Internet marketer can do without. Why is this so important? Simply, because if your website is professionally search engine optimized, it means that your website is sitting high on the search engines, which in turn means that more people are able to find your website —more traffic means more business.

Professional Search Engine Optimization means more traffic which results in more businss!

Search Engine Optimization is a term used to describe all methods used to drive traffic through the search engines including on-page and off-page marketing. On-page search engine optimization is the first kind of technique that marketers began to use—but it is only lately that people have really begun to understand its power in bolstering traffic to any website

On-page search engine optimization includes the following methods:

• Keyword optimization
• Using proper titles
• Using tags for your images
• The proper formatting for your titles
• Including your logo and graphics in the right format
• Placing your advertisements in the right position and density

Off-page search engine optimization includes the following methods:

• Submitting links to directories
• Link Exchanges with other websites
• Article Marketing & Press Releases
• Blogging
• Social Media
• Flyers
• Newspaper Ads
• Radio / TV

The fact of the matter is—you need to optimize your website in some way or another. But if you are planning to do things manually, the big drawback is that you won’t have enough time to pursue your main business itself. Search engine optimization is a highly time-consuming activity, and you will find yourself wasting a great deal of time blogging, writing and submitting articles, submitting links to directories, sending emails to other webmasters for link exchanges and so on.

Naturally, getting to the top of the search engines is going to take a lot of your time which is why so many entrepreneurs are searching for software applications to help them get the results of a professional search engine optimized website. With so many software applications being promoted online for search engine optimization, it’s in your best interest to shop around to find the product that will work for you.

I recently came across an SEO Plugin that I believe is an absolute “must have” for anyone marketing a business online. With over 50,000 customers this shockingly effective, tested, and proven WordPress SEO Plugin will skyrocket your website’s search engine ranking straight to the top.

The following are some time-consuming activities that this amazing SEO Plugincan do for webmasters:

1. It finds out the hottest keywords on the Internet and tells you how you can use them. It keeps monitoring the keywords and continuously makes suggestions. It also tells you what density you should use the keyword in and what special formatting you need to keep it. All these things could be very time-consuming if done manually.

2. This plugin also looks at the tags you have used and makes suggestions on how to improve them. It makes suggestions on which tagging formats should be used—H1, H2 or H3—and carries it out by itself.

3. If you run a blog, this SEO Plugin will look at your individual posts and suggest changes if anything is wrong. It also tells you the value of each of your existing posts.

So, it’s not just about optimizing your on-page needs but it’s also about actually suggesting changes. This SEO Plugin is quite faithful to you; like an obedient animal it will do your bidding while improving the rankings of your website on the Internet.

Understanding the Law of Attraction Basics

Ever since the book called ”The Secret” launched, millions of people started following the Law of Attraction.  Understanding the basics of the Law of Attraction is crucial to your success in business and in your personal life.

If you understand the Law of attraction, you will know how to get what you want by simply having a desire and acting upon it. By following 3 simple steps you could be closer to making your dream a reality.

Step 1 – Think about something that you really want. Fuel that desire to make your dream a reality and take action.

Step 2 – Believe that your dream is possible. Imagine yourself in your dream whether it’s in a new car, a new home, or a new state…imagine yourself in your dream. Actually visualize yourself driving your new car or cooking in your new home or what your street would like like when you move.

Step 3 – Receive. You must be prepared to receive your dream and act upon it.

I have been following the Law of Attraction in a positive light my entire life until I was in a horrible accident. It was the accident that got me to understand the Law of Attraction and how powerful it really is. Unfortunately, most people use the Law of Attraction in a negative way without even knowing it. The Law of Attraction does not understand positive or negative so whatever you put your focus to you will always be right. Here are a few examples:

1. Expecting a ticket when you get back to your car from an appointment.
   Instead…don’t focus on getting a ticket.
   
2. Expecting a speeding ticket when driving too fast.
   Instead think about the fast drive and getting to your destination on time.
   
3. Running into every red light when already late for work.
   Stop thinking about how late you will be. Instead focus on a nice quick drive.
   
4. Expecting no parking spots at the mall.
   Instead, focus on an empty spot available waiting just for you.
   
5. Expecting that you will fail.
   You will unless you focus on success.

I have created a video below with a few of my own personal examples of how powerful the Law of Attraction can be. I hope that some of the examples I share will help you too. Once you are able to tap into these simple examples, imagine the limitless possibilities.

I would love to hear your own personal Law of Attraction examples. Please post your LOA story below or share your story on video on my YouTube channel.

What is a Link Exchange?

A link exchange is simply where someplace places your link (URL) on their website or blog and in return, you place their link (URL) on yours.

A Link exchange is an extremely effective search engine optimization technique (SEO) that has been used since the beginning of the internet. Google started determining the most popular websites on the internet as ”Authority Sites” based on the number of websites linking back to them.

Link Exchange Benefits

Link Exchanges are undeniably one of the quickest and easiest forms of generating free traffic from other websites or blogs.  Google along with the other search engines will increase your page rank (driving you to the top) based on the number of websites or blogs linking back to yours which results in more free traffic.

Now, it’s important to mention…

The Internet is all about relevancy. You want to exchange links with other websites and blogs that are similar to yours which results in targeted traffic.

Bombarded with Link Exchange Requests

Do you receive emails from other website owners requesting a link exchange? There are a couple of things that you will want to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to exchange links.

1. Is the website or blog relevant to yours?
You will get traffic from the websites or blogs that you exchange links with. I personally like targeted traffic…don’t you? The more relevant the exchange the more targeted the traffic.

2. What is their page rank?
If you have already established a page rank of 3+ then you might want to only trade with other websites that have an established page rank as well. If you don’t have any page rank established with Google, then I wouldn’t be too picky on another relevant website or blog that has a page rank of 0 or 1.

* It’s more important to get high quality links (3+) than it is to get numerous links with a page rank of 0.

Forms of Link Exchanges

Blog Roll Exchange - Add the link exchange’s URL to your Blog Roll and they will add your URL in return.

Reciprocal Link Exchange – Add the link exchange’s URL to a “Partner’s Page” on your website or blog and they will reciprocate by adding your URL to theirs.

3-Way Link Exchange – This type of link exchange requires 3 websites, otherwise called Triangular Linking. The reasoning for creating a 3-way link exchange is to make Google think it is more like a 1-way link exchange which is explained below. You will need to create a separate partner site to participate in a 3-way link exchange.

One-Way Link Exchange – This is the most natural form of link exchange which Google and the rest of the search engines reward. A one-way link exchange is simply when other websites add your link to theirs without you linking back to theirs.

Requesting a Link Exchange

It’s actually quite simple to request a link exchange. Surf the internet for sites
that you want to link to. Locate the webmaster’s email address and send them your request via email. I have created a template below that you may use and modify as your own.

Email Sample

Hi <webmaster name>,

Great website! I was just stopping by and wondered if you would be interested in exchanging links with my website or blog.

I can offer you a link back to my site which is <site url> and has a page rank of <#>.  (If you have a 0 or 1 don’t put the page rank)

If you are interested, please add the following information to your website and kindly let me know when it’s ready. I’ll do the same for you in within 48 hours. I will send you an update once complete.

Title: <Use a Keyword Phrase>
URL:  www.yourdomain.com
Description:  <Descriptive sentence including the keyword phrase.>

Thank you for your consideration.

<signature>

Who says getting to the top of Google has to be difficult?

“Organic Search Engine Optimization” might sound intimidating and difficult to do but that’s what the  Search Engine Optimization (SEO) companies want you to believe. They are charging thousands of dollars to get their customer’s to the top of Google when you can do it yourself or teach someone to do it for you.

The formula is simple….so simple in fact that anybody can do it! No codes, no programming, no technical jargone or anything like that.

I am going to share with you EXACTLY how I get to the top of the search engines. Now you can use this same simple formula using a WordPress Blog, a video, or an article.

Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for the best kind of traffic, organic traffic that is free!

People are often shocked when I tell them that I create the title before I even create  my blog post, video, or article. Now think about this for a minute…..”Doesn’t it make sense to create content that people are already searching for daily on the internet where there is little competition?”

Well, that’s a no-brainer but you are probably thinking “where do I start?”

It all starts with the TITLE. I cannot express how important this is. But here is where most people miss the boat….they create a title based on what they like and not how people would search to find their content.

Search Engines were created to help the end-user find what they are searching for on the Internet. If you want to get to the top of the Search Engines, you need to think about the end-user and what they would type into Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. to find your content. So doesn’t it make sense that the TITLE of your blog post, article, or video is relevant to your ranking? You bet it does!

OK… now that you understand the importance of your TITLE, let’s go
ahead and get started.

Steps to Organic Search Engine Optimization

Step 1 – Get a general idea of what you would like to write about or do a video on.

Step 2 – Create your TITLE. Here is the HUGE ninja trick…

Pick a long-tail keyword phrase as your TITLE with the following elements:

(Long-tail keyword phrase should have 3+ words. Do not choose a generic keyword like “vacations”)

a. Receives a fair amount of daily traffic

b. How much traffic a #1 ranked site should expect daily

c. Has little competition

d. Has a high phrase to match percentage (this means that users will click)

I know what you are thinking…. this is way over my head, I wouldn’t know where to start.

I am going to make it easy for you by introducing you to a tool that I have been using for over one year now. I call it my “I don’t know what I would do without it tool.” I do NOT create a blog post, video or article without it….. ever!

The real name of my wonderful tools is called Market Samurai. To establish my TITLE (long tail keyword phrase) I take the following steps:

And this is where the MAGIC happens!

In this example, I picked the keyword phrase “organic search engine optimization” as my TITLE because of the following numbers:

487 – Number of daily searches

204 – The number of clicks that a number #1 ranked site should expect

82% – The chances that the end-user will click on a click when using this search term

4% – Competition for this keyword phrase “organic search engine optimization”

Click here to try a free version of Market Samurai

So now you know how to optimize your TITLE like a ninja, it’s time to move onto the next step.

Step 3 – Create and upload content that is relevant to your TITLE. If you are creating a blog post insert your keywords throughout, if you are creating a video keep it relevant to the TITLE and the keywords will appear. Google uses a speech to text algorithm to determine a videos relevance.

Step 4 - Create or join a TRIBE that will rate, comment and help syndicate your
content over the Internet. Click here for a video that goes into more detail.

Implementing these four simple steps will get your content to the top of the search engines provided you picked a keyword phrase that isn’t too competitive. Your daily clicks will add up with more content you share online.

Here are a three more Tips to help you optimize your content for your end-user.

1. Add titles to your pictures – Use your keyword phrase

2. Name your video your keyword phrase  (again, I don’t do anything until I have my title)

3. Backlinks – Comment on relevant popular sites leaving a link back to your site

What tips do you want to share that will help with organic search engine optimization? Please leave your comment below.

See you at the top of Google!

In other words, this is a protocol which allows you to upload and download files (pictures, video, audio) to a webserver hosted on the Internet, usually with your hosting provider.

Understand Article Marketing like a Pro.

Article Marketing is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your website. There are so many benefits to Article Marketing which we will go into but if nobody reads your article then you are just wasting your time.

I have included some “Article Marketing Secrets” below to help grab your audience and the search engines to increase your Article Views.

Chapter 1 – Benefits of Articles

1) Cost-Effective Way to Advertise
Submitting Articles online is FREE and will stay online for as long as the Article Directory stays active. There are many Directories where you can submit your article for free which we will discuss in Chapter 4.

2) Builds Credibility
Creating an Article makes you appear as an expert. If your article is well written people will expect that you know what you are talking about. This is the best way to market yourself. Simply add your signature to the bottom of the article so that you may direct your audience back to your website.

3) Drives Targeted Traffic
Submitting articles to directories is great way for other sites to grab your article to add content to their site. This means that if you submit one article it could get published on many other sites all over the Internet. If your content is worth reading other sites will pick it up.

4) 7-10 Times More Effective Than Regular Advertising
There is no better way to “pre-sell” your prospects than article marketing. Your potential customers begin to trust you because you appear as the expert even before they visit your website.

5) Get to the Top of Google
One of the biggest benefits of an Article is that most Article Directories have a high page rank. A high page rank simply means that Google loves it and will push your article to the top of Google through the Article Directory.

Chapter 2 – Article Suggestions

I know what you are thinking….. “what the heck do I write about?”

My answer to you is keep it simple and keep it YOU.

Millions of searches are performed on a daily basis for content. You need to figure out what you have to offer that other people are looking for.

If you are a Network Marketer, you could offer Internet Marketing Training, Personal Development Training, Sales Training, etc. Here are some questions below to help you focus on a niche market.

What do you have to offer?
What makes you unique?
What is your passion?
How does this relate to your business?

For more suggestions visit Ezine Articles. Take a look at the different categories to help trigger some ideas.

Chapter 3 – Writing an Article

Now that you have decided on your topic it’s time to write your article.

The number #1 Rule for writing an article is “Do NOT SELL”.

Now you are probably wondering, why would you write the article if you are not going to sell anything. Well, the answer is simple, people are looking for content they are not looking to be sold on the Internet. Remember benefit #4, “Your potential customers begin to trust you because you appear as the expert even before they visit your website.”

Here is an example of an article that I wrote on “Choosing the Right Domain Name”.

There are 4 key components which should be included when writing an article.

1) Title  – (Should consist of your keyword phrase)
2) Quote
3) Body  (Should consist of 3-5 keywords)
4) Signature
5) Affiliate Link

Take a look at the example below…

Choosing the Right Domain Name     (#1 – TITLE)

“Choosing the Right Domain Name could make or break your Internet presence.”
(#2 – QUOTE)

What exactly is a domain name and why do I need one?

A domain name looks like this, www.yourdomain.com and will act as your website’s physical address. The domain name is your website’s identity and will let customer’s know how to reach you.

The domain name should be relevant to whatever company or product you are promoting. You will have the option to choose between multiple extensions. The most popular are listed below.

.com    – Commercial (most recognized)
.net    – Network                                                                          (#3 – BODY )
.org    – Organization
.biz    – Business
.tv     – TV
.mobi    – Mobile phone

There are many more domain extensions, too many to list. To learn more go to Go Daddy.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right domain name for your website.

1. If you find a domain name that you like – register it! Don’t wait before it’s gone.

2. Choose a domain that reflects exactly what your website is all about.

3. Choose a name, which is easy to remember.

4. The shorter the name the better! The domain is much easier to type, much easier to remember, and much easier to spell.

How much does a domain name cost?

Registering a domain name is very affordable which is why most businesses purchase more than one. We recommend Go Daddy for registering your domain name. The domain names are very affordable at $9.99 a year or $1.99 a year if you purchase hosting.

Chapter 4 – Submitting Your Article

There are so many directories on the Internet that are looking for content – YOUR Content… so get it out there! Submit your articles to at least 4 of the directories below.

Here are some recommended directories below:

*Please read Submission Guidelines before posting. Each site will have their own guidelines.

Chapter 5 – Outsourcing Your Article

If you are not comfortable writing articles or do not have the time, you can simply outsource this job for somebody else to do it. You can have well-written articles created for as little as $5 an article on many virtual assistant sites like eLance. Simply post your project and people will bid to earn your business. Go to www.elance.com

If you don’t want to deal with trying to find an assistant, you may pay $10 per article at SEO Article Writing Pros.

After reading this post, you are probably wondering… so where are the article marketing secrets? Really, the only secret is understanding how your target market is going to search for your content. What do you think they would type into Google? If you can answer this question and build your article around your target market’s search pattern, you will leap to the top of Google which will drive more traffic back to your website or affiliate link.

Good Luck in Creating Your First Article!

Do You Want to Earn Six and Seven Figures with Your MLM Company?

Unfortunately, I have bad news….. Unless of course you are willing to do whatever it takes!

Even with an extremely high failure rate, there are new millionaires created every single year in the MLM Industry but they all have the same attitude, “do whatever it takes”.

You must become a champion in your own business!

A champion educates themselves, implements what they learn, and continues to build their business by working at it daily. A champion does not depend on someone else to build their business for them, instead a champion teaches their partners how to duplicate the process.

Most ‘champions’ do not become six or seven figure earners.

Most people get frustrated in the MLM industry because they put in the long hours but find it impossible to reach six or seven figures. I think that the Olympics is very similar. All athletes come to the Olympics with a chance at winning a medal but only three athletes can make it to the podium in each event. Most athletes do not become Olympic Champions because of one reason.

There is one significant difference between the Olympic Medalists (6 & 7 figure earners) and the rest of the champions.

The #1 difference is “Mind-set”.

Your mind-set can make you or break you in the Olympics just like it can it your MLM business.

We have witnessed #1 ranked athletes place tenth or even worse. We have witnessed ‘unknown’ athletes come out and make it to the podium. The ultimate factor in where they rank is mind-set just like in your MLM business.

You must set goals and think like a six or seven figure earner. There can NOT be any doubt. You must believe that it can happen and be willing to accept it when it does.  Olympic Champions do not win a race with doubt in their mind, whereas a #1 ranked athlete can lose a race with the tiniest trace of doubt.

The easiest way to becoming a six or seven figure earner in your MLM company is to manifest it. Believe that you are already there. Daily affirmations are crucial to your success just like they are crucial to an Olympic athlete. Here are a few examples:

I am a successful & positive person
I am always productive
I gain knowledge wherever I turn to help me grow my business
I am eager to build relationships with some of the top entrepreneurs
I deserve prosperity and happiness
I am recognized as an Industry leader
I always work to my full potential
I am increasing my monthly income
I have enough money to pay my bills
I am grateful for so many experiences
I love being rewarded for my accomplishments

If you are not at a point where you would like to be then become eager and remind yourself on a daily basis what it is that you want.

Don’t forget, there is one important rule that needs to be followed…..You must be grateful for what you have.

Even if you have just been laid off, find other reasons to be grateful for…. your family, your education, or your community. Bottom line… you must find something to be grateful for so that you can change your mind-set into a winning six or seven figure earner!

Underachiever or Overachiever?

Now that’s a question that one rarely asks or one rarely thinks about.

But seriously….what would you rather be?

Underpaid or Overpaid? That’s really what it boils down to.

Would you rather settle for what you don’t want because it’s easy, or are you the type of person who will do anything to achieve your goals and dreams?

Unfortunately, the general public has been programmed to settle for less. Take a look at the average household income for the US in 2008.

http://www.census.gov/did/www/saipe/data/statecounty/maps/iy2008/med_hh_inc2008_state.pdf

Notice they didn’t even list the household incomes higher than $70,482. WHY? Less than 10% of the US actually lives the live the want to live rather than settling on what they don’t want. Sad isn’t?

Overachievers think differently than the general public. Every single overachiever has a winning attitude which consists of the following must have elements:

1.    They surround themselves with successful people
2.    They only seek advice from successful people
3.    They tune out negative energy
4.    They do whatever it takes to get the job done
5.    They never stop learning
6.    They believe in themselves
7.    They believe anything is possible
8.    They see the BIG Picture
9.    They understand the Law of Attraction
10.  They share knowledge with their community

Why aren’t more people overachievers? Do they think it’s too hard?

What really surprises me is the number of people who start a business online with a “winning attitude” but very quickly turn into an underachiever.

With all of the resources on the Internet these days, very few take action. There is a lot of money to be made online but only those who take action will reap the rewards. I have created a list of phrases to help the online entrepreneur turn themselves from an underachiever into an overachiever.

Turn Underachiever phrases into Overachiever phrases.

“I’ll do it tomorrow”      ->       “I’ll do it right now”
“Next time”                       ->       “Yes”
“That’s too hard”             ->       “I can learn anything”
“I can’t do it”                     ->       “I can do it”
“I don’t have time”         ->       “I’ll make the time”
”I don’t know”                 ->       “I’ll do whatever it takes”

In the wild, birds and animals have no choice but to be overachievers otherwise they would die.  Imagine if the baby sea turtle refused to go in the water because it was too cold, or the baby zebra refused to stand because it was too tired, or the baby robin refused to fly because it was too scared. Birds and animals don’t have time for excuses as their attitude depends on life or death.

On the other hand, the general public has been programmed to believe that only the rich and famous can live the life of their dreams.

It’s time to reprogram your mind like an overachiever.

Next time you catch yourself saying one of the underachiever phrases, quickly turn your thoughts around by reacting with an overachiever phrase.
