			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would be an understatement to say that online traffic is important to an online business. Needless to say, having sufficient website visitors for your business website or webpage is the lifeblood of your professional goals as an entrepreneur. For this reason, it has become natural for us to see lots of advertisements about free and paid hits. Whether you are new to having an online business or not, you definitely should have room for search engine optimization (SEO) tactics that can bring you your desired hits. </p>
<p>
It is very important that you value the existence of website hits that you get. To put it simply, those unique traffic contribute much to your success in the online business world. Without these hits, you might as well have a business that is known by a few who cannot transform their presence to significant sales and profits. It would be important for you to realize how website marketing must be done in order for you to have a regular flow of traffic that can easily and consistently transform to sales and profits. Therefore, detailed SEO plans must be in existence for you to reach your business goals.</p>
<p>
You can easily boost your online business with the help of s strong online traffic. A website owner or administrator can do this by himself or he can have an outsourced company to do the SEO and marketing moves for him. Either way, you get tons of traffic which are within your targeted traffic. This simply means more sales for you.</p>
<p>
Any wise businessman would want to have a continuous flow of online traffic through SEO not only because it puts him on the top search engine pages but also because these online hits are his targets for transformation to regular clients. Once a visitor goes to your site, the aim is to let this person buy a product or acquire a service offered by your company. Also, another aim is to not just complete the business at hand but to make this web visitor come back regularly to do more business. </p>
<p>
One way to actually get real, unique and consistent traffic is to maximize traffic generator websites. There are many of these sites which offer both free and paid traffic. You can use them to advertise your site or you can take part in the members-based surfing traffic generation schemes which allow you to get your desired visitors on a daily basis. If you want your website or your products to be advertised, then one smart marketing strategy is to obtain one of these free membership sites which allow you to get daily unique traffic. If you have the budget, then you can also enlist for the pay-to-surf sites which allow internet users to visit your site every single day for very small fees.</p>
<p>
With the current and increasing competition among website business owners, it would be necessary to employ more than one SEO tactic. You need not spend much for this as there are traffic services which are very affordable. Every online businessman should strive hard to get traffic to boost his search engine rankings and the business itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The title alone may have been enough to get you here, but we have to teach you about a fixed term membership site. Many individuals have no idea what this is or how it works, and without it your residual income could just be strangling along. However, it&#8217;s not difficult to understand and if you utilize it to perfection, you&#8217;ll found yourself with more money in your pocket.</p>
<p>All you do with an FTM site is consistently add weekly content and distribute it through an autoresponder. Keep in mind you want to do this for a specific period of time, but the benefits will definitely be noticeable. The easiest way to get your FTM site up and running is by starting out with these three steps.</p>
<p>1. Write ONE 2-3 page article lesson every week.<br />
<br />
2. Load this article to an autoresponder for subscribers to access.<br />
<br />
3. Sell access to the series, which would last 3 &#8211; 6 &#8211; 9 or 12 months.</p>
<p>There are several barriers to overcome when you&#8217;re using a traditional membership site, but if you take advantage of these tactics your FTM site will be much better. However, you might want to learn a bit more about them.</p>
<p>48 Hours or Less</p>
<p>Depending on the site you choose, many of them could take days, weeks, or even months to get up and running. In a fast paced world where everyone is trying to make a buck online, it&#8217;s important for you to cut this down as much as possible. This is why it&#8217;s important to get a FTM site. The setup time is no longer then 2 days and you&#8217;re ready to start making money. It&#8217;s as simple as 1 sales page, an article, a PayPal or Clickbank account, and an autoresponder.</p>
<p>Easy to Maintain</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be truthful here, it sucks to keep up with fresh content and writing 3-5 articles week after week after week is simply for the birds. Granted you could hire someone to do it, but I&#8217;m trying to save you money! An FTM site can be steady with just 1 article a week for a short period of time. Best of all it will be there forever, even after you&#8217;ve moved on to other ventures!</p>
<p>No Pricey Add-ons</p>
<p>Alright, there will be no purchases of any kind that deal with scripts to get started. The most important thing you need is an autoresponder that will do all the work for you. Well, you&#8217;ll need that recurring billing account (CB or PP), but you get the idea. This is one of the biggest reasons why it doesn&#8217;t take that long to do.</p>
<p>Minimal Time Required</p>
<p>Okay you do the math. Johnny writes 3-5 articles every week, moderates his forum, sends and responds to messages, and looks for new things to write about for next week. Stacey on the other hand writes 1 article each week and adds it to her autoresponder for members to receive. Which person spends more time on their work and which one has more time to play? Ah yes, there is nothing like those 4th grade problem solvers to get the blood flowing.</p>
<p>Keeping Your Subscribers Active</p>
<p>Hey, it&#8217;s great when you see that you have 10,000 subscribers in your autoresponder account. Unfortunately it&#8217;s not very promising when 5% of them are clicking on the link, 2% of those people are roaming around the site, 1% of those are actually going where you tell them, and .25% is actually purchasing something from you. Figure out that math problem and you should probably have a high paying job in astrophysics. The point is you don&#8217;t get squat. An FTM site will keep your subscribers active, even if you only have 50.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s All Important</p>
<p>Each one of these benefits is crucial to your success or failure in the online world. Remember, only about 3% of the people who come online have a successful career from home. These are the people who want to get rid of their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift hours and enjoy life the way it was meant to be. If this is you, I told have to tell you where to go from here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Higher Search Engine Optimization or ranking in the search engines is the primary goal of new online businesses.  Higher ranking in search engines equals more traffic and more money, right?  Most small businesses and start-up companies spend the majority of their traditional marketing resources, and strategic time, on new business development. Some understand Social Media Marketing to mean networking or new business development.  In this article, you will learn how to apply your knowledge of traditional social networking and marketing strategies to increase search engine ranking of your online business.<br />
<br />
Social Media Marketing is the most rapidly growing marketing strategy, among small businesses, because it allows traditional advertisers and marketers to step into the world of Internet marketing, with very little expense, time, or knowledge of the industry. Social Media Marketing includes Internet Article Marketing, Social Network Marketing, and Blogs, which are used to educate consumers on specific products or services.  The practice also includes many bookmarking and tagging sites which allow social networking of friends, family and people of similar interests to communicate about a wide variety of products, services, concerns, and interests.  Social Media Marketing strategies work in every vertical market, for B2B marketing, consumer marketing and non profits.  In economic times we find today, Social Media Marketing applications are crucial to the overall marketing strategy and are necessary to engage customers to act in the very competitive markets of a recession.  Use the following Social Media Marketing and network marketing tactics and strategies to market your small business.<br />
<br />
Social Networking can be found in sites like LinkedIn, Naymz, Perfect Networker, Xing and many very specifically industry marketed networks.  They are used in Social Media Marketing strategies to develop new business, generate leads, build sales, and funnel traffic to affiliate sites, blogs, and other Social Media Marketing feeder sites, as well as main marketing websites.  Join at least three social networks to begin the process of building your network.  Ask questions within relevant sections, of relevant social network members, on subjects which will interest your network and eventually accomplish your marketing goals.  Questions and Answers sections, Associated Links sections, and references of social network members can provide exponential benefits for SEO, marketing products online and offline, as well as lead generation of new business development efforts.<br />
<br />
Article marketing is a crucial portion of Social Media Marketing, what could be described as the core of content for your social network.  The second step to building a Social Media Marketing structure begins with knowing and understanding your product, subject or service through research and applying that knowledge within the context of article generation.  Various applications of article distribution are found online in sites like Ezine Articles.  The simplest way to explain article distribution can be found in Ezine Articles model.  With an Alexa ration of approximately 270, the site posts articles within the homepage through links to content, on a daily basis.  Search engines enjoy the frequently refreshed content and the thousands of newly associated links to the site on a daily basis.  Those who market articles through this service, as well as other article marketing sites, benefit from association to the site and the exponential association to like site content through RSS Feeds.  Use appropriate marketing keywords within article titles, article marketing copy, and make sure to include links to your network blogs, bookmarking sites, feeder sites and associated websites, within areas acceptable by article distribution sites.  Article distribution sites usually require a small membership fee and some sites will pay you for your articles.<br />
<br />
Blogs and Feeder sites are free to use and are the best place for article traffic to land.  Think of these applications like a bridge between your article and your main website.  Articles are written on specific subjects, usually found by consumers when they type in specific keywords into search engines.  When clicking on a link from the search engine search, the consumer expects to find information relevant to the search.  The blog and feeder pages allow marketers to focus on a couple of keywords and answer questions, market products, or educate the consumer based on those specific keywords.  Links from the blogs and feeder sites go to other relevant sites within the marketer???s network, as well as drive traffic to the main website.  They can be found in sites like Blogger, Squidoo, Weebly, and Tarapad.   These pages increase relevant links to the main website, provide added strength to website content through association and provide a place to drive article marketing, social network, and Social Media Marketing traffic.<br />
<br />
Bookmarking and Tagging sites allow social networks of friends, family and people of similar interests to communicate about a wide variety of products, services, concerns, and interests.  They allow marketers to market products through these network associations and provide a means to distribute Social Media Marketing links.  They can be found in applications like the very popular Twitter, Digg, Delicious, and many others which have jumped on the Social Media Marketing and Web 2.0 bandwagon.<br />
<br />
Building a Social Media Marketing network of social networks, blogs, feeder sites, articles, and bookmarking sites become a strong funnel for traffic in marketing a website.   Social Media Marketing networks increase links to the main or brand website URL, therefore increasing the search engine perceived value of the site and increase ranking of the website within search engines.  This is pure organic SEO.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest measurements of a website???s success is the stickiness of its visitor base. Generally web masters would rather have 1,000 visitors who return regularly (they are stuck to the site???) as opposed to 3,000 visitors who only visit once or twice. These days the web is massive, carving out a niche for your site and gaining a following within that niche is the key to success. </p>
<p>There are many reasons why you should try to make your website as sticky as possible. Visitors who return regularly are more likely to purchase some of your products or content. If you have a membership site then retaining your member base is critical for growing your income and long term success. Also, a faithful following will encourage viral promotion of your site. </p>
<p>Search engine optimization can be a costly and time consuming task and your site???s listing can be hammered down by the powers that be (Google) in the blink of an eye. If you gain a faithful user base though, they will tell their friends and family about your site and encourage them to use it as well. Viral marketing is the cheapest and most effective type of marketing there is and making your site and content desirable is the only way to achieve this phenomenon. There are five C???s??? of stickiness to remember, and they are:</p>
<p>Content</p>
<p>Regardless of the site&#8217;s design, without good content, the visitor will not come back or stay at the site for more than a few minutes. &#8220;Content is King&#8221; is a clich??, but true. High quality content is far and away the most important factor in attracting people back to a Web site consistently, and keeping them there for more than a few minutes when they do visit. It is said, in fact, that content is what drives 75 percent of consumers to return to their favorite sites.</p>
<p>In addition to your site being content rich, try to also keep it fresh. At least part of your site will be regularly updated, preferably at least once a month. This is why web sites which resemble online brochures fail. Delivering the same content in a blog, posted in installments, can be much more effective. This will encourage users to come back regularly, as they check in to see what new content you???ve added lately. This is stickiness in a nutshell.</p>
<p>Community</p>
<p>When a site attracts enough visitors with similar interests it has the potential to develop into a &#8220;community.&#8221; That can be very powerful for the site owner. Providing message forums, chat rooms, podcasts, user profiles, blogs, etc. are all tools to allow your visitors to interact both you and each other. This also makes your site VERY sticky if you are able to develop a thriving community. </p>
<p>Rather than visiting your site once a month people may begin to visit it multiple times a week. Having a thriving community can be viewed as developing a site which is constantly developing its own content. Rather than requiring you to spend hours developing content, you can instead monitor the postings on your site to ensure they retain the kind of atmosphere you want for your site. As time goes by you may also be able to appoint some of your more responsible members to monitoring positions to do this job for you as well.</p>
<p>Communication</p>
<p>Communication is equally important as content and community. Communication includes building and maintaining your list, reaching out to people on your list, and interacting with visitors to your site. Try to respond to any question, comments, or feedback you receive promptly. This builds relationships with your visitors and will keep them coming back.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to reach out to customers is to offer quality, free information. This is basically a sample of what your site has to offer, and should always help address the questions your visitors came to your site for answers for. The very nature of the web stresses that you consider offering more free content to your customers than most other mediums do. You have too much competition to be stingy. One of the most effective means of providing content to customers and developing a list of potential customers at the same time is to offer a free guide to visitors who provide you with a name and email address. </p>
<p>For example, if you run a site teaching real estate tips and tricks, after your visitors have seen your foot in the door??? content located on your splash page,??? offering them the first lesson of your course on real estate for free by entering their name and email address. You benefit from this by having names to attach to the IP addresses of your visitors. This provides you with more information about who is being drawn in to your site. It is also important you use a quality auto-responder for this step, as communication is a critical part of your site and must be handled professionally.</p>
<p>One last note on communication: Be sure to provide your name and contact information clearly throughout your site. It will frustrate and turn away visitors if they have a question or comment and cannot figure out how to reach you. By providing a name and place to reach you it also helps contribute to the last two C???s??????</p>
<p>Commerce and Consumer Confidence</p>
<p>These are perhaps the two most important things that get overlooked in websites. First, effectively promote your site by using professional marketing and search engine optimization for the niche your site seeks to fill. Provide reliable, safe, and secure means for your customers to purchase your for-pay content. If your ordering method does not look safe, all your efforts working to sell your content to your visitors will be lost if they get to the order page and you look like an unprofessional, fly-by-night operator. Always use a secure ordering form. Offering a money back guarantee can be extremely helpful to reassure customers.</p>
<p>Lastly, respect your customer???s privacy. Make it clear you will not sell their names, personal information, or email addresses. People hate spam and will be hesitant to identify themselves to you out of fear of having their information sold if you do not provide some kind of assurance against this. A clear and easy to locate privacy policy is necessary.</p>
