I’m thinking about getting a new theme for this blog. Getting a little bored with this one. I’ll look around and see if there is anything I like.

There has been a lot of talk and chatter about article marketing. A lot of people are paying for PLR articles. That’s just crazy. With the IAW Pro we have linked to a million times, bloggers and marketers could be writing their own articles in a matter of minutes. I wrote one on Diabetes in 5 minutes and submitted it to a couple of article directories and people are viewing the article like mad.

The cost of Instant Article Wizard Pro is insignificant in relation to the value and the use you get out of it. Just the time you save makes it pay for it’s self. I wish some of you would take a serious look at it if you ise articles. And if you don’t you should in your marketing efforts.

I’ve had a lot of questions about MLM and sponsoring and did I have any info that could possibly help people in this area. While I don’t have any interest in this particular program, I found a video that might be of interest to those that are looking for such information.

I said we’d be doing some MLM, but I have not found an opportunity that I want to get involved with and honestly I just don’t have time right now.

I hope this has helped a bit. I believe that Multi Level Marketing is a very viable way of marketing. But you must align yourself with a good company, but more important you need to surround yourself with good people.

If you haven’t figured out the importance of article marketing yet, then you are really behind the eight ball. It is one of the most valuable tools you have at your disposal when Marketing on the net. The more articles you can produce the more traffic you can drive to your site.

Once you decide to take the plunge and put yourself out there, there is a software that you must have and if you don’t get it….then no complaining about the time it takes to churn out your articles. Instant Article Wizard Pro is worth of every penny.

The title might not be what you are expecting. Kamma Sutra is not going to be discussed here, although it might bring more readers. What I’m talking about is touching someone in a way that makes them feel. And feel deeply. If not deeply, then as deeply as possible.

It’s easy to make someone feel deeply in a negative manner….just be rude, call them a bad name….cuss at them, insult them…their family or heritage. Touching someone in that manner takes absolutely no effort. And is not even worth talking about actually.

I’m talking about in a positive way..in a way that makes a person move. Either physically or emotionally. Should it move them physically, then it should be a nudge toward a positive goal or direction. You do that by setting yourself aside and zero in on the other person. And not in a superficial way. But reach out and offer a hand up, a kind word…..and act totally unexpected.

You do that, and if in person, your fellow  man/woman will be able to see it in your eyes. Try as you might, you just can not hide your soul…your eyes are the soul’s doorway. But what does that have to do with Internet Marketing. And how can someone see your eyes on the Internet?

Quick answer is thru the use of a webcam. But that’s not what this is about either. This post is about touching someone blindly over the net and how you do that. You accomplish that by appropriate salutations in your first contact. And then over time, make sure you live up to everything that you say you are going to do. Be generous in your actions and your words. Humble in your attitude and gracious in your dealings.

It takes a fair amount of time to earn someone’s respect and trust and just a minute to destroy it. I know I’ve been on both ends. I’ve been let down and have on the other hand, I have made promises that I could not live up to as I expected. I let down a group of investors after I came down with Congestive Heart Failure and remamined sick for two years.

As a result, I lost contact with almost everyone I had established a relationship with in the investment world. I have never been able to recover those relationships as people never sit still. They all moved on and so it’s a matter of moving on myself.  While my health condition  was at the root of my troubles, I could have done something to retain  those relationships……but I didn’t. I was so caught up in my own world, that when I was  in a position to reach out to people, I didn’t.

So if you are marketing anything on the Internet, regardless what may come along, find time to reach out to those that you have a relationship with and you will be surprised how much people will step up and be there for you.

In the past few years, Social Media and Social Media Marketing have become buzz- words. This is due to the popularity of sites like MySpace, Digg, etc. The social media have two components - user generated contents and the ability to form networks of friends for sharing contents.

In sites like MySpace and Facebook users create their profile pages and use texts, pictures, and videos to embellish the pages. They can then share those contents with others in their friends’ network, or the social network

In sites like Digg, YouTube, Flickr users submit a summary of news articles, pictures, videos and they vote on the contents submitted by others. Popular contents are featured on the homepage and it drives massive amount of traffic to support your Internet Marketing.

There are many variations of the two models described above, including a combination of the two.

Using the social media sites to promote your product or services (or a website) is called social media marketing. There are two types of traffic you get when your content becomes popular in a social media site.

The primary traffic or the direct traffic comes from the site where it becomes popular. For sites like Digg, it can be huge and your site should be ready to handle the surge in traffic without crashing.

When your site becomes popular in a social media site, people talk about your site and the post that becomes popular. They will put a url to the content. The secondary traffic or the indirect traffic flows from those url long after the surge due to the primary traffic is over.

So, what are the benefits of primary and secondary traffic from the social media sites? The primary traffic exposes your site to people who have no other means of knowing about your existence. Some of those visitors will become regulars to your site if you are providing something that they want on a regular basis.

The greatest benefit is the natural url to your site given by others because they want to discuss your offering. Natural urlfrom a large number of relevant sites improve your search engine rankings and organic search traffic.

Social media & Internet Marketing lets you expose your site to a large group of people. If your search engine traffic has leveled off, shifting your focus to the social media marketing and becoming successful in that will take you to the next level in search engine traffic.

The only other alternative for increasing your search engine traffic is Internet Marketing & pay per click advertisement. If you are already running a PPC campaign, you can continue your PPC campaign through out the year to sustain increased traffic from search engines at a cost.

Social media marketing is free and making your site popular a couple of times in a year is enough to sustain increased traffic through out the year.

We keep fine tuning the blog marketing package and things keep getting better. We’ve been concentrating on getting Google love for our handicapping site and have almost forgotten about Yahoo and the other search engines.

For our keyword phrase on the Horse Handicapping site, we are ranked number 1 on Yahoo out of 186,000 competing pages. When I saw that tonight I was blown away. Getting ranked number one on any search engine is a big deal. We are putting up a site marketing the Instant Article Wizard Pro and expect to get it up on the first page of Google and on Yahoo.

We are close to letting loose our blog package as we seem to be getting some great results. Just not sure yet exactly how we are going to do it at present.

We have decided to get serious about marketing ‘The Instant Article Wizard Pro‘ software. We have looked all over the internet and there is no doubt that this software is the best ftware to use if you do any aticle writing and marketing.

What normally could take you 30 minutes to an hour to write a quality article can be accomplished with IAW in 10 minutes or less. And when you submit your articles to article directories, you will find that they are accepted with no quibbling. If you try and market on the Internet and not use article marketing you are really missing a major factor in developing your successful efforts.

We will be finishing up the site we are developing for our marketing of Instant Article Wizard Pro in just a couple of days. But don’t wait. Check out the link on this page.

As I’ve said before, we started Horse Handicapping net as a pilot project to test out our blog building package. Funny thing is that our horse selection system is turning out to be far better than we originally anticipated.

But that is not what this is about. Our SEO package that we have set up with the horse site has landed us on the front page of Google again. We have another page ranked at #30 also along with a few a bit deeper. It is a great feeling when I look up our keyword phrase and see us ranked that high.

Before we entered into the 30 Day Challenge, we couldn’t get ranked no matter what we tried. Now we consistently rank high on Google with multiple phrases. We have a couple of websites that we will be putting up in the very near future that we expect will do real well.

One thing hat works great for us is the article marketing we do. We submit mostly to ezineArticle.com and get some great traffic from them. I can’t speak highly enough of the Instant Article Wizard Pro software. Keeping a steady flow of articles, especially if you have several websites is extremely time consuming and just flat hard. With IAW you can knock out articles in a matter of 10 minutes or less depending on te subject matter. And the articles are quality….They get picked up and reprinted very often, which in turn spreads the word about your sites and gets you more traffic. It really is worth it’s weight in gold. And right now you can get it for just $7 for the first month. Once you use it, you’ll be hooked. Give it a try.

There is no doubt that getting your websites spidered is very important. Without it, you might as well spit in the wind. Nobody will notice but you. So here are some tips that will help I seriously hope.

The world of Internet Marketing is a highly competitive place. As a beginning internet marketer there are some basic things you should know about how search engines spider and index your web site. Unless the search engines find your web site and index it, there is no way the general public will know that it is there.

After you have created your web site and chosen the products or services you want to provide, you will be ready to get your site listed with the search engines. When developing your marketing strategy, it is important to include a plan to get your web site spidered quickly. In order to get your site indexed you must let the search engine spiders know you are there in the first place.

You may have wondered if there are ways to lure the spiders to your web site other than manual submission. The good news is that many SEOs recommend the following methods rather than submitting your pages directly.

The best way to get your site spidered quickly is to link your web site to another site that is already indexed, that is related to your site, and that is spidered frequently. Having your site mentioned in news releases, blogs, and so on can get your site your web site spidered very quickly, sometimes within days.

You can also use the more traditional methods of Online Marleting included posting in forums and providing articles for the various article directories. If you choose this route, be careful not to spam. Follow the posted rules, give helpful answers, and do not go overboard on your “sig file”. Private forums are not always indexed, so make certain that the forums where you post display recent posts and are listed in search results.

No matter which method you choose to get your web site spidered, you will need a good site map. A site map lists and links to all pages on your site. If your site consists of over approximately one hundred pages, consider using a multi-page site map. Make certain that every site map page links to all other site map pages. You should have a link to your site map on your home page and preferably on each of your pages. You should make sure your web site pages are simple and free of useless clutter.

Getting your web site spidered quickly is the most important thing you can do to achieve success on Internet Marketing. Using the methods suggested above can be very helpful in getting your web site indexed.

Safelists offer another way to get your message in front of people for little or no money. If you are willing to spend some time reading email messages you can have the favor returned.

However, Internet Marketing with safelists can be a total waste of time if you do not do it right. In this article we will discuss 3 things you should know how to do do before you start safelist marketing.

1. Set up a separate email account with GMail and then use it to receive messages from other marketers. Hotmail and Yahoo offer you to many problems with spam and you will not receive the email messages you want to see.

Why do you want to spend time reading emails? Here is why!

2. Join credit based safelists that reward you for opening your mail. Read the messages to earn credits and in turn create opportunities for your email to be read. The more credits you have the more messages you can send.

Much like traffic exchanges, and other forms of Online Marketing, safelist marketing becomes a number game. With credit based safelists even an average ad with an average title will get looked at because your audience is trying to create credits!

This is good for you as long as you have plenty of credits built up. You can spend your money and buy credits or you can spend your time and earn them reading emails if you are working with a credit based stateliest.

Also by looking at the email of others you may learn a thing or two about what make a good heading and a good email message. By paying attention to what catches your eye you will get ideas of your own that will help you get read more as well.

If you believe in sending out good vibes, or you reap what you sew, then reading other people’s emails is the right thing to do if you want yours read. This seems fair and it is.

3. People marketing on Israelites are looking for traffic. Therefore why not market traffic generation products to them. Capture their name and email, and then follow-up with other things you sell. By taking this approach you build a list for future marketing efforts and you accomplish something that will do you good in the future.

Approaching Marketing with safelists with these 3 things will make your time and money more well spent.
