Internet Marketing 101

Internet Marketing No Comments »

When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?

For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.

At its core, internet marketing is about these things:

* Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
* Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads

Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.

My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.

My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers - as we do - and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.

However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.

Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.

While there are many more aspects to internet marketing than just permission-based email marketing, email has definitely been the cornerstone on which our business is built.

Adsense Articles: Making Money With Google

 

Adsense ads or the advertisements found on the side, top or bottom of some websites are the major source of adsense revenue for most of the webmasters. From this, Google makes the money and shares a portion of the total earnings with adsense publishers. However, this process includes just pasting a few lines of javascript code into the HTML source of your existing websites. Webmaster or the adsense publisher should know how to implement the ads so as to look more natural. Otherwise, the surfer or visitor will not give much attention to your site. How does adsense works? Google charges a certain amount from the adword advertisers each time a visitor clicks on their individual ads. Google then share the amount (adsense revenue) with adsense publishers or webmaster (you). Some people are building websites just for the purpose of putting on adsense ads because this is the latest easy way of making money on the internet. But remember one thing, you won’t be making any money from adsense if your website doesn’t receive any visitors. The source of adsense revenue is the only traffic of the visitors. More the traffic more you will make money. And the source of visitors is to provide them with updated quality content of information.

Ideas to increase adsense revenue The good aspect of adsense is that all ads displayed on the website is relevant tn the content. This enables to increase the possibility that most ads are clicked by the site visitors. In addition, ads do not have same rate. There are ads that pay quite high depending upon what the site is about and its quality. Moreover, the revenue generated from Google Adsense depends upon the effectiveness of the ads in attracting visitors. The aim of our website content is to help new webmasters understanding the basics of Adsense and how to avoid the mistakes that many new publishers make.

Benefits of a Free URL Rotator

Internet Marketing, Pay Per Click Advertising No Comments »

A free URL rotator’s most obvious advantage is the have a number of web pages displayed with just one link.  This would greatly reduce the effort and time needed to promote several services and/or products because you would only require a single link for all of them. What the free URL rotator does is show a different URL every time a person clicks on the link.  The benefits could be mind boggling if you have 100, 200, or even 300 URLs to display and you only need one link.  All you have to do is submit a list of the URLs to the provider of the free URL rotator service and the program will automatically go through the list as people click on the link that has been assigned to you.

However, make sure that you are able to get a free website rotator that has no limits to the number of URLs that you can submit for a rotator.  It is often the case that a rotator that is given for free will limit you to five, 10, or 15 web pages that can be shown for each link.  For example, you might have 15 web pages to advertise but you are only permitted five web pages by the free URL rotator.  You will then need a minimum of three rotators to show all of them.  Can you imagine the difficulty of monitoring all of the rotators if you have 100 or more URLs to promote?  This would hardly be practical, so it would be prudent to get a free URL rotator that has no such limitations on the number of web pages that you can put in the list.

The split testing of a site is also a very important use for a free URL rotator.  This means that you can produce several editions of a specific web page.  To illustrate, you can determine the best color for the web page that will cause visitors to take a certain action.  You can produce various versions of each page that employs a different color and then include their URLs in the list that is given to the free website rotator.  In this way, you can try to determine which of the colors were able to stimulate the visitors into taking the wanted action such as making a purchase.  An advertising cooperative is also another way to use a free URL rotator in which several marketers purchase the right to have the URLs for their web pages to be included in the list to be submitted to the rotator.
