Tools 13  - Craigslist & EBay

Craigslist is great for SEO purposes. The ads actually produce results too! Post a simple ad for your website, but avoid the “for sale” section. It is heavily policed and you’ll
get caught very quickly. I post my ad in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Miami, and Dallas. These are the most populated Craigslist sites. I post every 7 days with
an ad that includes my URL (http://www.url.com). It generates traffic and can get your site indexed by the search engines within a few days. The backlinks it creates are very powerful, as well.

Ebay is a link building tool that must be handled carefully. They do not want you linking to your websites in most spots. There are a few instances where you can get away with it.
Your “ME” page is one spot you can use to link to your websites. Another method is to link to your website in an auction to a “non-sales” manner. For instance, you can post a link to a page of images for a product. You type – click here for more images and make it link to the page on your site. I recommend setting up a store there, as auctions only
last a week. Store listings last at least 30 days. Ebay offers a bunch of features to direct traffic from within their site to your listings and profile. They have a wiki, blogs, forums, and chat rooms. Use these! Post articles to their wiki, blog using their service, chat in the forums and chat rooms. Brand yourself on Ebay and your business will benefit greatly.

There are tons of Ebay products available that will help you understand how to earn money on the world’s largest internet marketplace. Easy Profit Auctions blows them all away with the most current and complete content available.

Tool   11  - Article Directories

Writing articles and submitting them to directories is one of the best methods for search engine optimization and driving traffic to your websites. There are some key tactics you
must use to be most effective: Vary your anchor text with the largest directories. I
recommend changing the anchor text and layout of the links in your resource box for the top 4 article directories – ezinearticles, goarticles, articlecity, and articledashboard. This will get you the best results as these are the sites that most people take articles from. Watch your conversion for which site directs the most traffic to you, and use that resource box for your widespread distribution. Keep your articles between 400 and 600 words. Any shorter is not effective. Any longer can be OK in the right situation, but don’t write a book. Use words that are easy for everyone to understand.
Write about what you know. If you are in a niche that you don’t understand, outsource the writing of your articles. You can find freelance writers all over the internet.
Submit a few articles per week and you’ll find that your reputation will spread very quickly. I still receive phone calls regarding a niche that I conquered in the past. You’ll find that helping people will generate a level of trust that you can’t get elsewhere.

Use Article Post Robot to submit articles on a completely automated basis. Also there is Content Spooler to make articles unique. Excellent benefits from using these tools.

I’ve been reading a few forums and blogs about Google Adsense tips lately, and thought it would be helpful to consolidate as many as possible in one place without the comments. I’ve also thrown in a few tips of my own. We start out with some of the basic general stuff and move to the more specific topics later on.

Build an Empire?

When you’re deciding to become a website publisher you will fall into one of two broad categories:

• Publish 100 websites that each earn $1 a day profit
• Publish 1 website that earns $100 a day profit

The reality of it is, most people end up somewhere in between. Having 100 websites leaves you with maintenance, management and content issues. Having one website leaves you open to all sort of fluctuations (search engines algorithm’s, market trends, etc). You can adapt your plan on the way, but you’ll have an easier time if you start out going in the direction of where you want to end up.

While SEO is a part of our daily lives, the process of digging into keyword research hasn’t gotten any easier. Yet, as we know, keyword research is critical to any SEO effort. While you may find the process of uncovering and selecting the most appropriate keywords for optimizing your site to be fairly painstaking, it doesn’t have to be. Using information from your site’s search box can save you time and provide additional keywords for consideration.

Compiling a list of keywords to use in SEO traditionally entails discovering the terms people are searching for on search engines, how often, and which other sites appear for those terms. The keywords you uncover must make the most sense for your business, since you are relying on them to improve your natural search rankings and deliver targeted traffic to your site. However, determining the best mix of terms isn’t easy. Search terms used are as varied as the people typing them in. In fact, Google estimates that up to 20 to 25% of the queries its sees are unique. And volume can be a barrier; the sheer numbers of unique search terms many sites attract make it difficult to monitor and analyze trends in the terms customers use.

You may be using any of a number of tools available to help with keyword development, such as Google’s AdWords Keyword Tool, Keyword Discovery or Wordtracker, to name a few. But, remember, the keywords they help you generate are still just educated guesses about the ways prospective customers might come to your site, and aren’t guaranteed to increase traffic. You can significantly strengthen your keyword lists with terms you’re customers are actually using.

The speculation is over. Microsoft’s search engine officially has a new name, Bing. The name, along with some new features, opens the latest chapter in Microsoft’s quest to best Google in the search engine wars.

If you’re expecting Bing to be a Google-killer, reset your expectations. The most dramatic change, in my view, remains the name itself. I can’t say that Bing is the best of names, but neither is it the worst. It’s certainly better than the “Live Search” moniker that’s resonated with few, including even those at Microsoft itself.

The new name, along with $80 million in marketing that Microsoft is unleashing, will undoubtedly attract brand new visitors to Microsoft’s search engine plus get some who had previously given up on Live Search to take another look. What they’ll find is a search engine with solid relevancy plus some new features that might hook a few of them into staying.

Tool 5 - Wordpress & Blogger

A blog is a mandatory piece of your online puzzle. Search engines love blogs because they are easy for their spiders to read, they are updated often with content, and are very easy
to modify. You should post to your blog at least twice per week. If you are talking about something on your main site, link to it. You have a link list on the sidebar of your blog. Use it to link to all of your sites that have a common subject with your blog. Avoid posting links to sites you don’t own. Your goal with your blog is to rank well for your main terms and funnel your
customers into your website. This means no adsense and no affiliate links for your main blogs. Creating a blog for adsense and affiliate sales is easy and should be held separately from your main blog. Your posts should be from 200 – 1000 words and contain truly valuable information for your potential customer. This gives them a reason to come back and see what you’re talking about next.
Every time you blog, you must ping. Wordpress has an auto-ping feature and it will ping for you automatically. Hosted blogs do not. These pings will have you listed in the largest blogging directories online. Here are the ping services I use:
Ping-o-matic
Pingoat
Feedshark

Tool  6 -  Submit’em Now & RSS Feed Creator
Every blog comes with RSS feeds. This is a way for your readers to get updated every time you update your blog. For SEO purposes, RSS feeds are amazing. The tool called Submit’em Now is an RSS feed submission tool that you can get for FREE at their site. It is a Firefox browser plugin and is very easy to install, the browser basically does it for you. It comes loaded with 113 RSS directories that you can submit your feed to. This results in great backlinks for your blog. The first thing you do is set up your project. Then you simply click the next button to begin the submission process. Some sites take longer than others, but I’ve been able to complete a submission in 30 – 40 minutes. Remember that RSS feeds are on ALL blogs. This includes Myspace, Wordpress, and Blogger. There are a few sites that you may not think of that have RSS feeds, as well. Squidoo and Social Bookmarking sites have RSS feeds for
you. This will increase the backlinks to your sites and the power of the links that point to you from them. These simple things will separate you from the competition.
