Top 25 Search Engine Optimization Companies

No Comments 04 February 2012

The Internet is filled with so-called marketing experts and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) agencies. It’s a speeding train in a changing marketplace. Some agencies have kept up to the times by integrating social media strategies, others haven’t.

The SEO world has evolved rapidly in recent years with social media quickly gaining a much stronger foothold than most experts originally thought. Social media was once believed to be a waste of time by many, SEO experts now realize the power of social media to reach new markets and generate new revenue opportunities. Paid search and mobile applications cannot be ignored and have changed the SEO landscape. It’s a relatively new field of expertise constantly in flux. As experts learn more clever ways to improve site ranking, the major search engines react by updating their indexing procedures. Just recently Google announced major changes to how they index sites in direct response to what they call content-farms that create skewed search results.

Here is a compiled a list of 25 Search Engine Optimization Agencies who will create and manage your SEO campaigns.

Spend some time at these sites, you will learn a lot and can make a comparative analysis.

How to stay focused and make money on days you DON’T feel like it!

No Comments 17 January 2012

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Did you lay in bed this morning unwilling, unable to get up? Did every fibre of your body demand more time in the sack? Was it a struggle to open an eye… and get up?

Sure enough, if today wasn’t like this, some of your many tomorrows will be. You need to be prepared for such inevitabilities… because they can and will occur and can and will sabotage your ability to make money. Here are some suggestions that’ll help you rise and shine… suggestions I use myself when getting up and getting going are most decidedly NOT my first priority!

1) Create a “to do” list before you go to bed.

The key to making tomorrow organized, efficient, and profitable is what you do today. Make it a rule before you retire for the night to draw up a clear, clean, specific “to do” list. Write it, read it over, put it next to the bed… then turn off the lights.

While you’re sleeping your subconscious mind will be busily at work helping you organize and implement the items on your list. Even when your body is screaming for more sleep and all the creature comforts it can get, the brain — and your crucial “to do” list — will be helping you get up and at ‘em.

2) Take a cold shower.

The British empire, the largest the world has ever known, was practically built on a cascade of frigid water. Its young men, pillars of the imperium, were shipped off to prep schools and immediately subjected to the jarring temperatures which will work for you as well as it worked for them. Don’t stand there and debate…. turn up the cold tap and plunge! You’re about to be invigorated, rejuvenated, primed to run your empire.

3) Do some exercise.

Are you huddling in a corner of your kitchen, hands gripping a cup of joe, comfy in your bunny slippers? Whoa! This isn’t helping getting your act together. You need some brisk, bracing exercise… the kind guaranteed to send vital oxygen to that all- important brain.

Put the steaming liquid down and kick up your heels… or quick-step around your back yard or up and down your street. With every step your brain will exult. The key isn’t coffee… it’s oxygen. Move bristly and infuse it where it must go for maximum good.

4) Give yourself an easy, immediate success.

Don’t feel like doing anything? Then give yourself an easy, immediate success. This should, of course, have been indicated on your “to do” list. Before you go to bed be sure to post on your list an easy thing, a thing that will start today’s sequence of successes. Once begun, as we say in New England, is half done.

What could this “easy” thing be?

It could be calling a long-time customer to get a nice re-order or following up with a new customer to whom you’ve already sent a proposal and quote.

One success engenders another. Even a small success is sufficient. Start successful, remain successful. It all begins when you least feel like it.

5) Put on your head phones and engage with some stirring music.

Still need help getting into gear? Go to the play list on your computer and choose something rousing. What? You don’t have such a play list? Start it today. I can assure you, you are going to need it. Here are some of my sure-fire upbeat selections, guaranteed to get you going:

Wake up Little Suzie by the Everly Brothers (most appropriate, don’t you think?)

Think by Aretha Franklin.

Natalie Cole’s version of Pink Cadillac, and

J.P. Rameau’s always motivating Tambourins I-II from Dardanus.

Your list may well be different from mine; the important thing is to have a list you can access at once. Turn up the sound… and move your body. Your uplifting selections are moving you towards another successful day.

6) Visualize what you’ll get when you turn this day into a success.

All too often we work without conceptualizing why. We work today because we worked yesterday. This is not nearly good enough.

Remind yourself just why you’re working and what special thing today’s successes will help create.

In my case, for instance, I have a pile of auction catalogs stacked high next to my computer. I motivate myself on days when such motivation is needed by looking at the things I want from auctions coming up quickly. Getting myself focused and together is a precondition for maximum acquisition. Visualize success; then do what’s necessary to achieve it.

7) Still not alert and moving? Then take the day off formally and properly.

Like most people these days, you are working more and longer than either your parents or grand parents. We are the most leisure-challenged generation ever.

The plain fact is, you may be unable to get up and resolutely face the day because you’re just worn out. If so, take the day off… sleep in, sleep properly, sleep, relax and goof off without guilt. You’ll be the better tomorrow if you take what is necessary and do not regard it as an indulgence but physical need. Enjoy!

Copy. Paste. Promote. Repeat. You’ve got to be kidding right?

No Comments 03 January 2012

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

How do you build an online business? Copy. Paste. Promote. Repeat.

I really hate using the first expression because I LOVE elephants but to make a point sometimes you have to be blunt.

This blog is meant to be direct and maybe make you a little irritated so you will REACT. A reaction is better than nothing. Hopefully that irritation leads to a reaction which leads to an action.

Forgive me if the tone of this blog sounds a bit tongue in cheek. My purpose is to try and get you to simplify tasks so you can get the results you want. I’d like you to think about things from a different perspective.

Every day I talk to people all over the world who are trying to build their online business. Some are having no success, some are having mixed success, some are just getting started, some have been working an online business for years. The ones who are hugely successful, I never hear from – hmmm strange.

What’s the difference between the successful and the non-successful? Well it depends on who you ask and your definition of success. Here’s my take on it.

People who are successful are DOERS!
They don’t over think, they plod in and get busy.
They make mistakes, they learn, they try again.
They fall down, they get up again as often as it takes to get the job done. They simplify; they don’t overcomplicate.
They have a unique way of looking at things, and attacking a task.
They FOCUS on what needs to be done, eliminate distraction.
They understand that small tasks can lead to big results.
They find what works and stick to it.
They have a patience many of us just can’t fathom.
Failure is not an option.

I had the honour of playing a round of golf with a Professional Golfer last week. This guy was good and had won numerous tournaments. I asked him how he got to be such a good golfer and this is what he told me. He said, “I’ve played golf since I was 4. I’m 24 now. I’ve played golf pretty much every day my entire life.” I then said to him, “so you did the same thing everyday and got really good at it?” He looked at me for a moment to make sure that I was being serious about something so obvious then he said. “Yes, I got some lessons and instructions then practised every day and here I am.”

So if I can draw from that, if you want to be good at something – successful at something – do it everyday – over and over and over again!

Could it be that simple?

Building your online business is as simple as Copy. Paste. Promote. Repeat. Everyday?

What do you think? Post your comments below. I’d like to see your thoughts.

These Landing Page Mistakes will cost you sales! Know them. Avoid them!

No Comments 30 December 2011

By Sandi Hunter

A landing pages is a powerful way to generate leads for a product, service or company. Landing pages are a far more effective way of getting leads than promoting your website.

To get those leads your Landing page must adhere to these sure-fire rules of marketing. Here’s what you need to know to get the maximum results from your landing pages.

Most Common Mistakes

1. Boring headline.

Your headline must POP off the page with motivating words that will get the viewer’s attention. You want to get their attention then draw them in to keep them reading. Headlines should be bold, easy to read, colorful and make an IMMEDIATE eye-grabbing impact.

2. Too fancy.

Fire your designer if they rely heavily on graphics and flash. Even video is sometimes not appropriate. You do not need your landing page to match your website. Landing pages do not need to be animated, blinking, jumping or annoying. Simple is best. Your Landing page has one purpose, and one purpose only – to generate a lead. It should be colorful, eye catching and use compelling rich copy.

3. No focus.

Effective landing pages are focused. Focused on purpose (lead generation) and focused on telling the reader exactly what they get and why they need to act now. Don’t include any reason for distraction on your landing page. Make your marketing message ultra-clear.

4. No Offer.

If you want to generate a lead you MUST include an offer. People don’t give away their contact information unless you give them VERY good reasons to do so. Make your pitch, and make it a great one – something for free, include a bonus, an incentive – something of value.

5. Forgetting about who the Landing Page is for!

Your Landing Page is for your Viewers. Yes, it’s to market your company or product, but the page itself is about the viewer, Yes, your potential customer don’t forget this. View your Landing pages from THEIR eyes. Is is obvious what you are offering? Is your offer enticing? Is your page focused or it is annoying to the point of distraction. Respect the experience and impression of your viewers. Make sure the page is not too long, the fonts are appropriate, the graphics not overdone and your optin form is quick and easy to complete.

To conclude, here is an Easy 1-2-3 Formula for creating effective Landing Pages.

1. Start with a powerful benefit-laden attention-grabbing headline.

2. Follow with compelling copy that motivates ACTION. Here is what you get, here is why you need it, here is how to get it RIGHT NOW!

3. Optin Form. Conclude with an easy to complete, simple form requesting contact details, being sure to list the bonuses/offer included. If you can add a value to these bonuses it makes your offer even more appealing.

Final words: Everything on your landing page should focus and complement these things; simple theme-related graphics, well-written punchy copy, an irresistible offer, and an opt-in form. Your goal on a Landing page is get the lead!

Little Known Ways To Make Money Online

No Comments 14 August 2011

A lot of people are trying to make money online. Some become successful overnight, while others tend to struggle with a variety of ideas, just hoping to earn their first hundred bucks. There are a lot of ways to make money online, but not all of them will work out the way that you want. You’ve probably already tried to earn some quick cash online yourself, but have not gotten very far. You might even be thinking of giving up and going back to work in the “real world” and getting another boring, low-paying, dead-end job.

Fortunately, there are affiliate websites available that will not only help you to make a legitimate income, but will also pay you for doing almost nothing.

While everyone else is sweating and laboring, all you have to do is tell people about your websites. Marketing is one of the easiest ways to make money because everyone is being benefited. It’s also an enjoyable experience. You’ll not only like the money you make, but you’ll also love your job.

Internet marketing is more popular now than it’s ever been, especially because it works. There is a lot of proof that internet marketing work, all you have to do is read. Type in the terms, “internet marketing” and “affiliate marketing” into your search bar and see what comes up. If it didn’t work, it wouldn’t be around.

One of the biggest problems people have is that they believe that marketing businesses sound too good to be true. A lot of people may wonder, “all you want me to do is tell my friends, and that’s it? You’ll pay me for that?”. The truth is that yes, in the marketing business world, people are paid huge commissions for simply spreading the word. What’s even better is that the main company does all the work for you. It’s true that you are helping to make them money as well, which is how everyone comes out happy in the end.

Unlike other ways of making money online, you are not paid a simple $2 or 3 bucks, but more like hundreds and thousands of dollars within months. It’s hard to believe that this is possible because those figures are so big. The only way a person can know whether or not affiliate marketing really works is to try to make money online themselves. You can read all you want to about the success previous marketers have experienced, but you’ll never have that experience yourself unless you take the risk.

Why would there be so many people who claim to have had big success in the marketing world if it wasn’t a real way to make money? One has to wonder, how are they making their money? It has to be by some means, and if they have no job and all they do is market, then there is your proof. It’s absolutely okay to be skeptical about it at first, that is what will make you a believer. If you’re looking for a way to make money online quickly (within days and weeks, not months and years), internet marketing may just be what you are looking for.
