DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

I want to talk to you about pay per click and why you need to be doing pay per click to get traffic with Google Adwords.

First, it's very, very quick. You can be up and running with a pay per click account with Google and have your ads sending traffic to your site within about 20 minutes to half an hour, so it's very, very quick.

And it can be cost effective if done correctly. So it is definitely something that you need to consider.

Now the biggest problem that I come across is people wasting a lot of money on pay per click. They get in touch with me and say, "I've done pay per click. It's cost me an absolute fortune. I haven't made a single sale but I've spent several hundred dollars on pay per click."

The reason that's happened is because they don't know how to create ads properly. So let me just give you a very quick introduction.

So how do you write ads that attract clicks? Good question.

One of the best things you can do is to understand that managing your PPC campaign is a step by step process, with each step designed to accomplish a specific objective, and with all steps linked, leading your prospect from the start (where they search for the keywords your bidding on) to the end (where they 'convert' either into buyers or leads or subscribers).

Writing ads then is just one step of this process.

You need to remember that even in a low-competition market, your ads are under pressure to perform.(that is, your clicks must also convert), or otherwise they will end up costing you money. Because of this you should always write ads with two things in mind:

-The ad must persuade the prospect that the page this ad points to will hold the answer to what they are looking for.

-The landing page must deliver on what the ad promises.

In addition, you also have to ensure that only those people you are targeting will click on your ad.

Here are a few guidelines for writing your ad.

Identify what you are selling. Make sure you have a clear idea of what you are selling and how that will tie in with your ad.

Narrow down your target market. Understand who you are selling to. Use focused keywords to help you create a targeted ad. Focus on subtopics rather than ads for the general keyword.

Write to persuade – this is sales writing in a very small space. Sales writing boils down to a simple principle, convincing the reader to take immediate action on what you want them to do(sign up to a list, buy a product, etc.).

To do this right you have to first attract their attention (headline), convey the most powerful benefit (first line) and provide a logical justification for taking that action through your most powerful feature(your second line).

As an entrepreneur, your income will always be a function of traffic.

Traffic is important! It's the lifeblood that runs and determines the success of any business.

With Google Adwords, you have the ability to reach your target market instantly, and get them to make a decision on your product/service.

Adwords is a vast topic and can be a course all on it's own. But if you follow these simple guidelines, you'll have a huge advantage of people that don't.

You have decided that the time has come when your small business should have an internet presence, after all it is 2008. You want a top quality professional looking website however have tight financial constraints which you are determined to keep to. You are therefore on the lookout for a person or company who is happy and able to design a site for a very small fee, but how do you find such an individual who would be happy to offer this type of service?

To answer this question we have to first all realise that we, the consumer, is in a very strong position. Why is this? Well basically because the website design industry is an ultra competitive one, this essentially means that there are likely to people out there who would be more than happy to take your money however small the amount might be. This might seem a little harsh but this is business. A golden rule of any business is to keep costs to a minimum.

By searching on a search engine like Google for the keywords of cheap freelance web designer, student web designer, or very cheap web designer in the UK, is sure to help you to locate such a person who could help you with your project.

I personally go one step further by also asking to have a package of web design with free web hosting. Web hosting is a cost that really annoys me, I would rather spend the money on other areas of my business. The majority of web designers will have their own web hosting on a reseller basis and therefore are normally happy to accept this form of deal.

by Barry J McDonald

Putting up a company would of course require a lot of things, to get straight to the point, you need a capital. To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the Internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic.

While there are ways to jump start your traffic flows, many sites don't have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don't have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it's a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods.

Because it is possible, you don't need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I'm about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don't have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there's a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many Search Engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that all content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your own but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.

Generally, Internet users use Search Engines to find what they are looking for. Search Engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in Search Engine results without the costs.
All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man-hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Video Uploads: Easy And Free, But Read The Fine Print!

Subscribe in a Reader

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

by Alan Jacobson

Almost everybody has a need or desire to upload video to the internet. It you want to post video on your own homepage for family and friends to see, have video stream on your social networking (e.g. facebook) page, use a file sharing site, or create a video clip to send to family by e-mail, you need to know how to upload video. The good thing is that there are plenty of sites that allow you to upload video simply, easily, and for free.

So, how do you choose between these different sites? Perhaps the most important way to compare and contrast video upload sites is by comparing the agreements you have to "sign" before you use the service offered at the site. And the biggest difference to look for: Who will "own" your uploaded video once it's on the site? Or, more accurately: Will you have to share ownership of your video upload once it's on their site?

If you don't carefully read the agreement, you may be unknowingly giving a site you uploaded video through the permission and ability to do any of the following:

- Monetize your video clip, such as posting it on a page surrounded by advertisements and links.

- Use your video upload as an example of their product in their advertising and promotional materials

- Share your free video upload with some "partner sites", which could be of significant number. Your funny video of your cat could spread across the internet very quickly!

- Some smaller sites whose intentions are not good could even edit your video clip in a way that might distort your meaning or purpose in order to make it funny, outrageous, or even anger producing.

- Once you upload video, some sites could use your content in another medium - your uploaded video could appear on a television program or advertisement for example.

Interestingly, depending on your purpose, some of the above could be good for you, like if you are promoting yourself or your business. And most of the above is not harmful, though it could be frustrating to see someone else make money off of your original content.

While most times if you use a free site to help you upload your video clip, none of the above is going to happen. However, if you have to upload video that is going to be the cornerstone of your unique business, vital to your website, or is private in some way, you may want to read the fine print first. At the very least this will help you decide which of the many free video upload services to use.

For more information about free services available to upload video clips onto the internet, please see http://www.uploadvideo.co.uk . Also, to learn an exciting new way video uploads are currently used in real time to help teach people to do everything from using kitchen appliances, to learning how to use new electronic products, and even to do certain physical activities such as yoga, please see http://www.internet-enabled.com
