What Is Efficient Article Marketing? The Answer Will Depend Upon Your Business Goals
December 17th, 2010
Asking the question, “What is successful article marketing?”, is almost like telling the tale of the 6 blind men and the elephant. Do you remember it?
The first blind guy was touching the tail and he offered his opinion that an elephant is rope-like. A different man said that an elephant is like a pillar. (He had been touching one of the legs.) Then a third guy says he can’t believe how wrong they both could be. He had been feeling one of the tusks, so his take on the subject was that an elephant is like a pipe — a solid pipe.
Yet another guy spoke up. He had just been touching the trunk. “I don’t know what you 3 have been drinking”, he said, “but an elephant is obviously like a tree branch”. Then the guy who was feeling the belly of the beast laughed and said they all were wrong, because an elephant is obviously like a wall. The last blind man, who had been checking out one of the ears, reported that an elephant, is like a large, flat, hand fan that you can use to keep yourself cool.

Do you find that you keep getting off point with your internet business? Have you made a few dollars online, but don’t know what you did to bring that money in? Then understanding the importance of developing a sound and fundamental marketing plan will be critical to your online success.
I read somewhere online that 90% of all internet marketers will fail or quit within the first year. Why is that? Internet marketing isn’t really hard to learn – but I think most people are misled when they read headlines like Make A Half A Million Over Night and when it doesn’t happen, they get discouraged.
Does link Exchange help with SEO?
February 12th, 2009
I started researching what is now known as SEO about 13 years ago. I tried over and over to build the site that I dreamed would rank at the top of Google. At the time I began the key apparently was Meta Tags. I made meta tags just like my competition, and made by key word density for the words in those tags higher. I figured that would easily put me to the top. I waited for months on sites, and I never moved at all. One thing I did find interesting is there were some reputable sites that were stuffing words in like pornography, XXX etc to try to capture free traffic on highly searched words even though their sites were not relevant to those results. Basically after nearly duplicating sites I never improved my rankings.
The next thing I noticed is that all sites in a great position had thousands of pages in the Google index. The problem with this is many of my sites are simple sales pages, and I can’t create that much content. I then stumbled across Traffic Booster Pro. This program seemed fantastic. I would generate unique content pages for a site and show them to a search engine, but then redirect the users to my website. I used this and it worked very well until Google crawled my site so much it crashed my data center. My rankings instantly disappeared, and even after the site was back up, and I scaled back the amount Google crawled. My rankings never reappeared. I had be penalized by Google for all the generated content. This was a short lived method to get some traffic and I spent 100 bucks on it.
