2. Video Content Syndicated. Just as the two websites listed above will help you syndicate your articles and blog posts. If you are an online video marketer and like to create videos to promote your products or affiliate products. This tool works very well for syndicating and submitting your video to several websites at once.

3. Realtime Web Analytics. I know that you know how important it is for any online business owner or marketer to keep track of website statistics. A lot of Analytics Software used can inflate the actual traffic to the website because it picks up on spiders and bots that crawl the site. For me, this is just annoying. Why? Because it ruins my conversion percentages. What I mean is, if I go off of what that analytics is telling me then it seems that I am getting way more traffic than I actually am and that decreases the conversion percentages. I only want to keep track of real humans that visit my website. I will then have an accurate percentage of people taking action on my website. And to be able to track that in real time is indespensable. Clicky Web Analytics gets the job done for me. Visit them at the link below to sign up.

There are some of you who have barely heard of this thing called WordPress. If that is you, then this blog post is for you. Source 47 Marketing is creating a new virtual home and we are using WordPress as a basis of our operation to handle lots of ‘behind-the-scenes’ stuff that goes on at Source47.com. Since we are using WordPress on our website, we felt it would be only fitting to tell our readers why we think WordPress is the best thing to happen to websites since Cascading style sheets.

WordPress is Open Source software which means that it’s created by everyone and for everyone to use. From what we can tell, WordPress started out as a simple blogging platform (originally known a web log or blog for short). Because of the nature of it being open source, it was able to grow and develop quickly and because everyone could contribute, plugins (bit of software code to control a certain function) were developed for just about everything, thus quickly expanding the functionality of WordPress itself.

WordPress as a CMS. CMS (or Content Management System) does exactly what it says. It’s a system to manage the content of your website. From creating a blog like this one to controlling the individual pages of your website, and even photo galleries, simple e-commerce functionality, media rich websites like podcasting, and much more!

WordPress works with all types of budgets. Because WordPress is open source, it’s free to use. You can sign up for a WordPress blog at www.wordpress.com. There is limited functionality when signing up for a website/blog at WordPress.com but at least it’s free, right? But if you’re serious about your company’s website then I say have it on your own web hosting account.

Websites that run on WordPress come in all shapes and sizes. I believe that you’ll get more out of WordPress by using it on your own hosting account. If you need web hosting, we recommend Bluehost for various reasons but specifically because they are very WordPress friendly. If you want to use WordPress but need it setup on your web hosting account then let me know and I’ll be glad to help.

WordPress Themes control the look of your website. There are many free themes to choose from but if you are serious about having a WordPress website for your company or business then I would recommend that you look into getting a custom WordPress Theme developed to use. Reason being is that I feel that the free themes available are being used by probably a lot of other people. This certainly won’t set your website apart from all the others out there. Getting a custom WordPress Theme developed by Source 47 may not be as expensive as you think. Contact Source 47 today and let us know what you’re website needs are and we can customize an affordable solution for your business.

The trick is divided into three parts.

1. More visitors.

This can be done from search engines, social bookmarking / networking, and blog linking.

2. Staying on your site for long periods of time (stickiness)

The longer that visitors are on your site, the more likely it is that they will remember your site and want to come back.

3. Encouraging those visitors to come back frequently (repeat visitors)

Repeat visitors are more valuable than first time visitors.  Why?  Because they are your biggest fans!  Your biggest fans will tell their friends about your website and spread the word.  (Higher quality traffic)

Awesome examples:

YouTube.com – Millions of people frequent the site per day.  Why?  Because the site has new and fresh content (videos) on the site.  And it’s a community of internet users involving themselves in some way on the site – either uploading videos, watching videos, or commenting on videos.

Miniclip.com – Games, Games, and more Games.  Online games are a great way to keep visitors on a site for a long time (stickiness).  Besides, I’m sure people come back frequently for more games.

eBay.com – Online auctions.  People frequently return to the site to check up on bids and view newly posted auctions of interest.

Here are just a few examples of websites that create a lot of traffic because of the user-activity on these sites.

So you want a site that would attract a lot of traffic? Huh?  You need to think about how to involve other people (visitors) on your website.  A great way to do this is to start a blog.  Free and easy to setup at www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com.  I mentioned a blog because visitors can make comments on your blog posts effectively participating on your site.

Controversy is one of the most popular subjects to blog about.  Most people will take a side and will talk about it around the water-cooler hopefully mentioning your site and their co-workers will check it out as well.

My personal suggestions would be to start a ‘review’ blog.  Start a blog and give your opinions about something that you’re into.  Whether it is movies, music, games, books, etc.

I have been on Yahoo Answers lately just responding to questions related to Search Engine Optimization and Small Business in general.  So last night I realized that I could take my answers and reformat them into a blog post.  Essentially, I was generating great content that I could use for blog posts.  I would just need to rephrase a few things because Yahoo Answers is meant to just be a response to one person’s question so instead of a blog post which is meant for everyone.

Check out Yahoo Answer Secrets

I got my hands on some videos about Yahoo Answers and I would love to share it with you.  It’s called Yahoo Answer Secrets.  Not only can you use Yahoo Answers as inspiration for new blog content but you can also recommend products to others on Yahoo Answers (this should be done with discretion!)  Yahoo Answer Secrets tells you everything that you need to know to get started on Yahoo Answers.

Well, if there’s not as much in your wallet or on your paycheck this year,  why not find cash value in some things that are lying around your home, in your basement or garage.  I have been doing exactly that and, if you’re a ‘newbie’ on the internet then I’ll show you how to turn that stuff into cash.

The easiest way to do that is to sell your stuff on auction websites or classified websites.  eBay and Craigslist are the first ones that come to mind.  eBay is great for selling things that are easier to ship because most likely the buyer won’t live close to you and you’ll have to ship it.  Craigslist is great for those items that are heavier, larger, or just plain akward to ship.  Expect to pay some fees if you sell it on eBay.  Craigslist is free for selling stuff.

eBay >> You can see what I have been listing for sale on eBay by clicking on the link below.

Visit my Auctiva Store!

Auctiva is a third-party company that helps you organize your auctions and they offer free tools that are very beneficial to eBay sellers.  Find out more at: www.auctiva.com.

Craigslist >> Who’s list? Craigslist!  If you haven’t heard of Craigslist, then you better start from the beginning – of the internet, that is!  (Don’t ask me what that means.)  Craigslist is one of the most popular websites in the world.  Pretty impressive for how they started out.  (On a side note, I always love hearing stories about how these most popular websites got started.)  Anyway, back on track.

Advantages of Craigslist over eBay.

• Sell stuff locally.
• It’s free.
• Create’s great exposure for your stuff.

Craigslist and eBay are both very good for making a little extra cash over the holidays.

I will be putting out some tutorials on eBay.  Both for beginners (newbies) and also some more advanced tutorials.  How to sell more effectively on eBay…

Strategy #270: The “Next Success Story” Strategy

The “when you become our next success story you will get free publicity…” strategy tells your prospects they could become famous and get their own business or message in front of all your prospects, visitors and customers. This will really persuade people that have similar businesses or have non-profit organizations to promote your product.

Here’s where you can get the report.

• Decide on niche.
• Find keywords that identify and relate to your niche.
• Implement those keywords within your website and blog.  
• Continue using those keywords with your content often.

1. Visit Google’s Keyword Tool.
2. Type in your keywords.  Google will display a number of results and… most recently have starting displaying the search volume in numbers instead of a little graph that doesn’t really tell you anything.
3. In this list, you are looking for the Approx Avg Search Volume.  That is an approximate number that tells you how many searches are done each month.  That gives you an idea of the demand of that keyword.
4. Start a spreadsheet to track your results and put your keywords in your list.
5. Now we need to find out what the supply of that keyword is.  I do this with Google.  Visit Google.  I use the allintitle:”______________” search method that tells me how many other webpages Google says has that exact keyword phrase in the title of the webpage.

Step 3

Step 5

There are no set rules on how much competition vs. search volume (supply vs. demand) makes a keyword ‘saturated’ but i like to follow the 30/20 Rule.  The average monthly search volume should  be more than 900 per month (average 30 searches per day) and the allintitle:”___” search results should be less than 20,000.  Obviously. the less the supply and the more the demand – the better.

This blog post is more for me than anyone else.  I titled this post, “Back2Basics” because lately, when I have started a new internet project I often times fail to do the proper keyword research and, even more so, fail to properly use the keywords for maximum benefits.  I know how to do it but I don’t always to it myself.

There’s been a ton of buzz around this system over the past few weeks and if you haven’t heard about it yet, let me just fill you in… It’s called the “Commission Blueprint” – a radical formula created by Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton that exploits Clickbank and Google in such a devious way that the resulting profits are in the realms of the *insane*.

Of course, you will have heard this kinda’ thing a gazillion times before and to be perfectly honest so have I… But after checking this out, I can give you rock solid confirmation that this is the real deal, especially if you want to replicate a simple system that generates MASSIVE Clickbank commissions. Let me just throw some figures your way… – $6,513.04 in one day – $153,426.72 in 6 weeks – $526,422.83 in 7 months. …and the crazy thing is, these numbers were generated by promoting ONE Clickbank product, bidding on just ONE keyword…and without ANY help from JV partners or even an email list! …not to mention the fact that this simple affiliate campaign took just a few minutes to set up. How was it done?

Check out the story here.

This is a VERY VERY different ball game… In fact, if you’ve ever wondered why most affiliates struggle to produce a red cent in profit whilst others effortlessly rake in unfathomable Clickbank commissions seemingly with their hands tied behind their back, then sit up and take note, because you’re about to find out why.

—————- The Best Thing? —————-

You need no experience at all because they take you through the entire process on screen AND give you all the tools to actually make it happen.

—————- The Weird Thing? —————-

It’s frankly bizarre that they’re revealing this stuff. If it were me, I would’ve kept my mouth FIRMLY shut for sure. These guys do 7 figures a year with Clickbank consistently and generate far bigger numbers than virtually anyone else on the planet. Point being…if you’re a suffering affiliate, you NEED this material. Badly.

—————- The Bad News… —————-

There are only very limited spots available and judging by how fast this has spread around the net, they’ll go ultra fast… possibly in the next few hours. It has literally just gone live though so you should be in time… End result? Affiliates who FAIL to get hold of this information will be left fighting for scraps and ultimately will be in a world of hurt from now on; that much I can assure you… You can’t afford to be left out of the loop with this one…
