What Is Pure Internet Marketing?

So, “Pure Internet Marketing“… What do I mean by that ? Since you’ve probably never heard of it before because I think I might have made it up… NOT the phrase “internet marketing”, but the “pure” type. Not sure, but it is meant to define a way of making money online that probably is one of the most lucrative areas that you should explore if you haven’t already.

 

This is simply marketing other merchants products and services.
It might include Pay Per Click advertising, Adsense (get paid per click), certainly affiliate marketing, and a number of other ways that you can refer business and make money.

This will be by no means an absolute complete list of things that are possible online. There are just way to many things out there to get our arms around, but I will try and put together the most popular and lucrative things that are making people a lot of money.

Internet Marketing is BIG business. Anyway, when I am talking about pure internet marketing, I am talking about having a product or service to speak of, or a digital product. I’m talking about advertising and selling other peoples/merchants products.

Essentially it comprises of driving traffic towards another merchants products and services and profiting via a commission or fee. A very effective way for any business or merchant online to reach huge markets with little effort on their part is to set up what’s called Affiliate Programs.

Affiliate Marketing is a way to recruit a sales force with very little time or overhead. So if you have a business or product, look into Affiliate Marketing and see what it can do for YOU!

The angle I’m taking with this post is actually the affiliate side. The affiliates that are actually profiting by promoting those merchants products & services.

There are 100s of thousands of affiliate programs online. There are actually Affiliate Program Providers with 100s of programs all in one place.

 Here are an example of a few:

Commission Junction

LinkShare

ClickBank

And some stand alone ones like:

eBay’s

Amazon.com’s

SiteSell

These are some of the more well known, but there are many, many more out there.

Basically, affiliate programs are FREE to sign up for. Free… And all you do is put some code or a banner on your website and let your visitors click on it and you make money if they buy!

The more relevant a program is to your content the better. That’s not usually a problem.There are so many programs that it’s easy to find something related.You can promote these programs on your websites… You can create entire websites devoted to promoting these programs.

You can promote with e-mail marketing, search engine marketing, Pay Per Click Advertising like Google or Overture… There are all kinds of methods used. AND there are all kinds of people making 10s if not 100s of thousands of dollars per month doing it… True Story!

YOU KNOW WHAT! I’m actually going to separate this topic of “Pure Internet Marketing” into several posts… I just cannot cover all the ground I want in one post.

 I could, but the post would be HUGE and take up all my day.

So I’ll post more about some more opportunities to promote other peoples products and services… a few more techniques for affiliate marketing and some other ways to make money with out owning a product or service!

I hope this has been informative…Have a Great Day!

How To Improve Search Engine Page Rank With SEO Tools

As a webmaster, you can never have enough tools. Some of the tools include: Keyword Tools, Meta Tag Generator (helpful for those who are new to this stuff), and a Meta Tag Analyzer (analyze your competition for some ideas).

I have links to more SEO Tools and Information in the Webmaster Tool and Resource Box. Check it out here.

Linkcollider has really cool keyword tool that's pretty useful. I do want to issue a warning regarding some of these tools. Shy away from those that require downloading. 

Especially if it's from a source you don't know. You could do a lot of harm to your computer.

These little programs may can contain viruses, spyware, you name it! Many of these tools are harmless. I like the ones personally that you can run right online.

If you're wandering why someone would provide a tool for free, it's simple. It gives people a reason to go there and re-visit in the future.

They are pulling you in with tools knowing that many people will explore deeper into their site where they offer other products and services (that are charged for).

Sometimes the websites providing the tools require you to have a link to their site in return for using their tool, but for me that's not a problem and is certainly worth the trade.

SEO tools are numerous.

They are available for keyword verification checking and suggestions, link popularity checks, meta tag optimization, search saturation checking, back link building, search engine ranking etc.

The seo tools are being extensively used today to optimize websites. In the fiercely competitive industries it is very important to be on top of Google, Yahoo or any other search engine rankings to tap targeted audience.

This greatly helps to sustain, grow and expand your business through your website. Each category of seo tools in turn has number of software developed by different companies.

It is relevant to know which are good before you embark upon using one. Almost all of them have demo versions available for free download. You can always try them out before narrowing your options and buying the best.

Remember, SEO tools are only tools; one should use them with a lot of prudence lest the search engines black list you.

Search Engine optimization is of two kinds, Organic and Mechanical. Organic SEO depends on manual or natural ways of optimizing a website and takes more time resulting in long lasting results.

Mechanical SEO use software i.e. seo tools to optimize a website. It takes less time but results have a shorter shelf life.

In the end, Page Rank will help your position in the Search Engine Rank Pages.... "Then how's it not important?", you ask. It's important, but it should happen naturally. That's my point.

Additional Notes on PageRank (PR)  I already discussed the obsession with Page Rank and the need to avoid it.

Page Rank is volatile and changes just like all of Google Algorithms.

Google is in a continuous state of change so if you are obsessed with figuring something out, by the time you do, it's no longer a valid conclusion...

So how can you make it happen naturally?

•    Create good content and people will link to you without you even asking!

•    You can seek out exchange partners. If you do, make sure their website compliments your sites theme.

 Google has a love affair with relevancy. The more relevant a site is to your site, the better.

•    Many have concluded that a sites PR will rub off on you. So if you link to a PR5 site, that will help... But only a little bit. I think it's something like .00001 % of that PR that rubs off. It's very minor.

•    There are other factors involved in calculating Page Rank that no one knows except Google.

But willing to bet, that much of it is do to the quality of the websites linking to you.

It's not how many sites that link to you, it's the quality and relevancy that matters.

•    Bad sites linking to you will not hurt you.

Many people have the impression that they should only get inbound links for PR5 or better sites.

This is not exactly. it will help you, but the lesser sites won't hurt you. If that were the case, your competition would link to you from 100s of crappy sites to bring your PR down.

I have more thoughts to come about this topic. But I had these on my mind. Sometimes I have to empty my mind to make room for new ideas.

Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen. -Lee Iacocca

Have A Productive Day!!
