5 Hidden Ways Super Affiliates Use Google to Boost Sales

Have you ever wondered why and how Super Affiliates are using Google to Boost their Sales?

HINT: Google.com is a TOP Search Engine and maybe the most POPULAR. Other MAJOR Search Engines are Altavista.com and Msn.com .

FACT: last month there were 8 622 220 searches on Overture for “google.com” term.

I am going to show you below 5 ways Super Affiliates use Google to Boost their Sales:

Way #1 – Google Toolbar

Google offers a *free* downloadable TOOL called Google Toolbar that works into your browser. Super Affiliates use it mainly to find popular Web Sites by Page Rank and backward links.

Google Toolbar SAVES time by helping Super Affiliates to block pop-ups, autofill Web forms, translate Web Pages into English and more.

Way #2 – Google AdSense

Super Affiliates can GENERATE more revenue by serving highly targeted text-based ads on their Web Sites via the *free* Google AdSense program.

AdSense delivers Google ads relevant to the information people see on a Web Sites / Page.

When someone clicks on the ad, you profit.

You can find more info about Google AdSense at: https://www.google.com/adsense

You can even profit from their red-hot referral program that pays $100 when someone you referred makes his first $100, as well as $1 when someone downloads the FireFox browser from Google Toolbar.

Way #3 – Google AdWords

Google AdWords offers Super Affiliates a low-cost way to send targeted visitors (*traffic*) to their Web Sites and finally generate more *Sales*.

With AdWords advertising program you pay only when someone clicks on your ad.

You can find more info about Google AdWords at: https://adwords.google.com/select

Way #4 – Google DomainPark

Google DomainPark enables Super Affiliates who own lots of domain names to unlock the value in their parked page inventory.

DomainPark delivers targeted keywords and ads to parked domain name pages. DomainPark’s technology analyzes domain names and displays targeted ads and related searches based on the meaning of the domain name.

If your Web Sites generate more than 750,000 page views per month, DomainPark could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

You can find more info about Google DomainPark at: http://www.google.com/domainpark

Way #5 – Google Web Search

Super Affiliates use Google to search for high *traffic*, targeted keywords with less competitor Web Sites.

They use those keywords to build optimized Web Sites / Pages that bring *free* visitors on a regular basis.

Super Affiliates use Google to find out why other Web Sites ranked high for certain keywords and will try to achieve a higher ranking based on their SEO (Search Engine Optimization) knowledge.

Super Affiliates also use Affiliate Finder Pro, a TOOL that helps them boost their *Traffic*, Link Popularity and Search Engine Rankings. Read a review here:

Remember – Google is probably the most popular Search Engine and can help you boost *Sales* in record speed, if you use it wisely.

5 Google Search Engine Tips To Help You Find Information Faster

The most common way most people use Google to search for information; is to just type in a few words and click on the search button. However, as I’m sure you know, you are normally confronted with many thousands of pages to wade through, sometimes millions, so it can often be very hard to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Here are 5 useful tips to help you find stuff faster, when you are using the Google search engine:

1. Use The ‘Exact Phrase’ Search Option

When you do a basic search, Google returns results for all web pages that contain the words you typed in.

For example, you may want find information about a car you want to buy. You might type in: used Mercedes

Google will return web pages containing both the keywords ‘used’ and ‘Mercedes’, somewhere on the page. You might find a web page containing a story, where the word ‘used’ is near the top of the page, and the word ‘Mercedes’ is at the bottom of the story. There might not be any mention of the exact phrase ‘used Mercedes’ anywhere on the page.

So, to narrow things down, put the phrase inside quotation marks like this:

“used Mercedes”

Google will now only display results for web pages containing the exact phrase of “used Mercedes”

2. Be More Specific With Your Searches

To narrow down your search even further, you should try expanding on your initial keywords, by adding more specific words and phrases. If you are looking for a particular car model, try adding that to your search like this:

“used Mercedes C280″

This will weed out a lot of pages that contain information on used Mercedes cars, but not necessarily the C280 model you want.

3. Remove Words From The Search Results

When you perform a search for “used Mercedes C280″, you might get a lot of web pages in the search results for sites selling Mercedes car parts. You could end up trawling through dozens of cart part sites, just to find the ones with cars for sale.

Here’s what you can do…

For any search you perform, you can remove pages from the search results if they contain certain keywords you specify. To do this, all you have to do is add the word to the search box, and place a ‘minus’ symbol directly before it.

“used Mercedes C280″ -parts

Make sure that there is ‘no space’ between the minus symbol and the word you want removed from the search results. If you put a space in between it won’t work.

4. Use the ‘OR’ Command To Expand Your Search

Sometimes web pages will contain the information you want, but it might not contain the exact phrase you type in. Using our Mercedes example, some people might just refer to it as just ‘C280′ without using the word Mercedes.

By using Google’s ‘OR’ command you can find web pages containing at least one of the words you choose.

Mercedes OR C280

The above search would return any web page that contains either just the word ‘Mercedes’ or the word ‘c280′, or both of them on the same page. To make this work, you must type ‘OR’ in capital letters. This tells Google that you want to use their advanced search option. If it’s in lower case, Google will just treat it like any other word.

5. Try Using The Synonym Search Option

For many phrases there are often alternative words that can be used to explain the same thing. Sometimes it’s hard to know which particular word to use to get the best results. Other times you either may not be aware of the alternative word, or just can’t think of it at the time.

For example, instead of using the term ‘used’, you may have typed in ‘secondhand’. A trick you can use is to tell Google to look for synonyms of the words you specify, in addition to the main keyword. To do this, enter a tilde ‘~’ just before a word like this:

~secondhand

In this case, Google returned results containing the words: ‘secondhand’ and ‘used’. This can be a useful trick to use if you can’t think of the right words to type in. You can perform a synonym search on multiple words at he same time. Just add a tilde ‘~’ directly before each word like this:

~secondhand ~car

As well as ‘used’, secondhand’ and ‘car’; this search will now also return pages containing ‘automobile’ and ‘motor’, because they are synonyms for the word ‘car’.

I hope you found this useful, happy searching!

1 Simple SEO Strategy To Get More Visitors To Your Site From Google

Did you know that you can dramatically increase the number of visitors that come to your site on a daily basis from Google? And it’s not constantly improving your position in Google search engine result pages(SERPs) for your competitive keywords which can take some time after working on your search engine marketing campaigns.

I take this example from Google because I’ve experienced it some time back now. Apart concentrating on getting and maintaining a top 10 ranking in Google, there are lots of easy traffic sources that you haven’t exploited yet. We are still talking about search engine traffic here.

What’s that strategy you ask? The answer might surprise you but it’s a technique that works and is pretty legitimate. It’s not creating stand alone or doorway pages with practically no content, overly optimized with keywords and a link back to the homepage. Doorway pages work but only if you know how to do it well. And this article will talk a bit about this topic as well.

The strategy is to search for overlooked keyword phrases which are not too competitive and create effective doorway pages related to these keyword phrases. These pages can be promoting a product for instance.

Just by adding a few effective doorway pages, I managed to make 9 sales in just a few short weeks and earned $364.59.

Imagine you come up with several keyword phrases that generate a few monthly searches, you now have several pages. So each page targeting a specific keyword phrase is worth traffic and not any type of traffic but it will be targeted.

So if you have one page which brings you only 1 visitor per day and you have 50 pages, you can easily receive 50 visitors per day for free. You see the potential now.

Keywords that have about 1000 searches on Yahoo! Search Marketing Solutions previously known as Overture at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion are valuable keywords with lower competition.

If you are using Wordtracker at http://www.wordtracker.com, a keyword with only 10 searches per day can get you a good ranking and bring you traffic.

If you have already a website which is generating traffic, you can dramatically increase your numbers, simply by adding relevant doorway pages targeting a specific keyword. These pages have content and have your optimized navigation menu on it with their specific keyword phrases. These pages are just an entry to your site nothing more nothing less.

They should not be overly optimized with keywords but they must have some optimized content which is readable by your visitors and friendly for the search engines as well.

If you have a good website which is crawled by Google’s robot called “Googlebot” often, your new pages will get spidered and indexed fast and will start bringing you small loads of targeted traffic.

But be careful when adding pages, don’t go in a frenzy with this and add hundreds or even thousands of pages all of a sudden. For eg if your site has 50 pages already indexed in Google and ranking well and you add 100 new pages at once, your indexed pages might suffer a temporary drop in rankings. The key here is to add pages on a regular basis say 1 or 2 pages daily until you reach the total number of pages to be added.

Why not capitalize on this free source of traffic? The key is to research your keywords well first, work on your content and create these pages afterwards.

Your website will grow bigger and bigger with time and it will attract loads of targeted traffic from multiple keyword phrases.

Good luck and happy research and optimizing.

Get Best Advertiser in Your Side Pocket!

I have been questioned by many people to disclose some of the greatest traffic generating techniques that I know of. I am not to immediate to reveal them because I know the majority doesn’t even take battle on them. All I know is that they work and you should be familiar with this too.
Let’s find to them!
My first and foremost form of traffic comes from the higher ranked pages. My link is on web’s most popular sites. You should be able to be part of those famous sites. Do not waste your time in submitting your link anywhere blindly. You must show up your creative work. Going for link partners just to gain a few ranks, is a hard work.
Advertising is key factor in your web site promotion. Let people talk about you, your products, and your services. You see, people are always on the look out for good content right? Your site should have really good contents. Don’t write “Welcome to my website” or “Ours is a World’s first company…blah blah” unless and until you really have dominating product.
You sell your products or services as like others, but you think you must be noticed. Your offer should be different to attract visitor. Your presentation should be mind catching. Get aware of advertisers online. There are few major players around.
* Google Adsense
* Yahoo ad
* Pixel Page sites
You can use either of Google Adsense or Yahoo ad. These two programs run by Google and Yahoo respectively that pays you per click. You sign up for free, paste a little bit of code on your website and every time someone clicks the links on your site, you get paid a certain amount per click.
I just launched a site and placed Google Adsense program at the right of the panel. I also placed my personal site logo attractively on one famous pixel site. InnovativePixelPage provider resulted my site some hundreds of clicks. The result? The site went from a page rank 0 to a page rank 4 in less than 2 months!
This is because you are being noticed online even while you are enjoying your summer holidays! There are some useful tips for being top in Google Adsense frame.
The real key to using this method is to write good content. Make it look nice. For example, if your site is about “Website traffic” your pages should contain exact keyword more time than only “traffic” word. Otherwise Google Adsense will show irrelevant result like “Rash hour traffic” or “Traffic jam”.
Some clicks are value higher than others depending on the “keyword” that the ad is targeting. What does this mean? Google Adsense are “contextual based” ads, meaning that they display the links for people to click on based on the context of your website.
Here are a few tips to get better earnings with Google Adsense:
1. Don’t make your ads look like ads! People are so “banner blind” now that they’ll fly right over your Adsense ads if you make them look too much like actual ads. By removing the background and the border of your ads and making them blend in with your own site’s background, it will help your sales enormously!
2. Don’t click your own links! It may be tempting to earn that potential for yourself but in the long run it’s not worth it! Google has ways to sense “click fraud” and you will get caught and you’ll surrender all of your earnings thus far.
Another form of emerging advertising media is Pixel Page Sites. Perhaps you should have notices few of them. Alex, one student founded Pixel Page idea and built one website for advertising. Website owners put their ads on it and surprisingly they found increased traffic on their sites. Foremost, they are fun. People stay online for hours checking out all of the cool websites. This also creates lots of traffic for the advertiser. If your ad is really eye-catching, it’s more like that visitor will click on your ads.
There have been many pixel page sites online. Not all of them are effective. 95% of such sites lack proficiency and eventually put down pixel site. I warn you not to get caught by such novice site builder. Few tips for getting best Pixel Site Advertiser or Publisher.
1. Investigate enough to be satisfied at first look. First impression is the last impression!
2. Avoid blind copier. People will never visit their web site. Even if someone visits that site, he or she won’t recommend to his friends. Real PSA site is referred most of the time.
3. Go for professional or just through out your money.
4. Think different, Go for different.
I recommend some of the interesting pixel page sites here.

Should You Submit Your Website To Search Engines? Nah!

Until recently, the answer was a resounding “Yes,” but times have changed.

Not too long ago you had to submit your website to search engines yourself or pay a company to do it for you. There are times you may want to do this, for example, to be listed in a search engine that covers a niche market, like travel or hobbies. But for general searches, if you are on the top three, Google, Yahoo and MSN, then people will find you. While many people, including myself, use other search engines like Dogpile and Ask Jeeves, most people use the top three.

Some of you may be asking, “Hey, Jeff, why do you still offer this service if it doesn’t do anything?” Because some clients demand it. Listing with search engines was important for years, and that old habit is hard to break. Especially when everyone gets several e-mails a day saying, “Hey, you need my listing company to put your website on 100 zillion search engines.” I try to educate people, but you can lead a horse to water…

So, if submitting your site to a search engine doesn’t do anything, then how do you get listed with them? Search engines now rely heavily on spiders, crawlers and bots to find new websites and additions to existing ones. They do this by following links on other sites that lead to your site, and following links on your site to find new pages. Therefore, you need to have lots of links on your site and lots of links on other sites that point to your site. It’s best to have relevant links. That is, links that relate to your site. If you focus on writing, then you’ll want other writing sites linked to you instead of say motorcycle sites.

One way to get links pointing to your site is to have articles that you submit to article bank sites. Your articles need to contain a resource box, a little blurb about you and your site that contains a link to your homepage. If you don’t know how to write articles take a look at some of the articles on writing that I have at http://www.creativecauldron.com/articles.shtml. You can also find a list of article sites in my article “Website Promotion In A Nutshell” at http://www.creativecauldron.com/WebsiteNewsletterArticles.shtml

Be sure to post these articles on your site too. You should add at least one article a month, and more if you have the time. Having good content on your site makes it more important to search engines, so you will rank higher.

Another good way to have links pointing to your site is to write press releases about your site/company and have links to your homepage in the press release. Submit each press release to relevant web sites and industry reviews. You can learn more about writing press releases from my report “How To Write A Press Release” at http://www.creativecauldron.com/mybooks.shtml PRWeb http://www.prweb.com/ offers free online press release distribution. You should check them out.

You can also do what I do, which is to share my knowledge and experience on forums and bulletin boards. Just be sure to have a signature box, with a link to your homepage, appear with each posting.

Now, one place you do want to submit your site to is directories. These are sites that list websites by categories. These categories can be anything from website design to fishing. What makes directories so nice is that the categories make finding a specific type of website very easy. So listing with them is a good idea since many people look for websites on directories, and you must list your site on them because they don’t send spiders out across the web to find your site. To find directories go to Pheedster at http://www.pheedster.com/directories.php They list enough directories to keep you busy for weeks. Some directories charge a fee to list your site, others don’t. Only you can decide if you should pay or use only free directories.

So, the way to get your site listed on search engines now takes work. You have to create good content, get links on your site and have other sites link to you. It takes more time and energy, but using the above techniques will result in more visitors to your site.

5 New Guerilla Marketing Techniques

Guerilla Marketing is defined by MarketingTerms.com as: “Unconventional marketing intended to get maximum results from minimal resources.” The idea is simple: be creative and get your business out there on a very low or non existent budget.

There are a wide variety of guerilla marketing strategies out there just search the forums or go to www.gmarketing.com or visit the marketing section of one of our sites such as: www.webresourceshop.com to learn more. Below I have described 5 lessor discussed strategies that will help bring awareness to your product or services using the Web that will only cost you your time.

1) Google Base This is a beta release of Google’s classified ad system. They will host the ad and bring back search results to potential visitors of your site. The cost to you is only a few minutes of your time, knowing Google the potential will grow with time. To place a classified ad with Google Base go to: http://base.google.com/base/default

2) Google Video This is also a beta release from Google. Basically the application allows anyone to upload video and Google then adds the video to their video search engine. There are no restrictions on the size or content of the video except that it cannot be pornographic. You can add meta data to the video and include a link to your Website. Consider creating a promotional flash or Powerpoint demonstration of your product or services and uploading it to Google Video. To view Google Video go to: http://video.google.com/ or to learn more about uploading your video go to: https://upload.video.google.com/.

One inexpensive flash creation product is ScreenFlash ( www.unflash.com ). You can download a 30 day trial version and create your video with no cost other than your time.

3) Forums and Google Groups II In a way this is an oldie but a goodie. Go to forums and groups that discuss topics surrounding your business and offer advice. It is important to make sure that your advice is valuable and you are not just responding to get your url in the post. People will get to know you as the expert and will click through to your site. At the end of the post include your name and Website address.

4) Free Press Release Press releases are nothing new but free press releases on the Web are something to consider. I have submitted several Press Releases at PRWeb.com, their url is: www.prweb.com. Each time the release results in a phone call from a prospect. You can pay as little as nothing to as much as you want for this service.

5) Add a Blog to your site Blogs are all the rage these days. It seems that everyone has a blog. The benefit to you adding a blog to your site is that you can offer tidbits of useful information back to your audience, include adsense ads (small additional revanue) and improve your search engine listings. I use blogger. To open a free Google Blogger account go to www.blogger.com.

While these guerilla marketing strategies might not launch your business into the stratosphere they are sure to help give you a marketing edge. The cost to you is only your time.
