Hand Index Your URL's to the Search Engines!

Hand Index Your URL's to the Search Engines!

In some of our recent articles we've mentioned you should hand index your URL's to the search engines for quicker recognition rather than just waiting for the search engines to pick up your URL on their regular search.

The question is often ask; "how do I hand index my sites to the search engines"? You must understand that each search engine has a different format to follow to accomplish this process. We will only deal with the top three search engines since most search inquiries are made to the big three and many other search engines pull their information from Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Index to Google:

If you want to hand index your URL to Google you simply type in the Google search bar "add url Google" ....there you will find the submission link to click on. When you get into the site there is a detailed description on what you need to be done next. Google adds and updates new sites to their index each time they crawl the web. They do not add every submitted URL to their index, nor will they make any predictions or guarantees regarding whether or not your site will appear.

You must enter the full URL including the http:// prefix. As an option you can add comments or keywords you want to emphasis about your website. What you put in this area does not affect how your page is indexed by Google.

Only submit the URL for your top-level page. The Google crawler, better known as Googlebot, will find the rest of what it needs to index your site accordingly. Google updates it index on a regular basis. It's not necessary to include updated or outdated link submissions. Dead links will go away the next time Google updates their entire index.

Index to MSN (Bing):

Hand indexing your URL's to the MSN (Bing) can be done by going to Google and searching for the term "submit url Bing". You will find their site by clicking on the (Bing URL Submission) header. You may find the process with Bing is simpler to use than the Google submission. All you have to do on the Bing submission is the put your URL and click the submit button.

Index to Yahoo:

To find the path to hand index your URL to Yahoo can be done with the same kind of search method we used above. Type in the Google search bar; "submit URL Yahoo". You will find the "submit a site" header....just click on that link and follow the prompts. The Yahoo provides one extra feature where you can "submit site feed"....If you are going to use this function you should review how it works and understand exactly what the purpose of this function of the tool is designed to do. To begin with be content with using the submit URL portion of their service.

Work with these three submission services....and use them often. By pursuing these simple step you will see some quick results in your exposure and page rank by the search engines. You can do the same process as we've explained above on other popular search engines and you will find the benefits will be well worth the time you may spend indexing your URL's by hand to them also.

The suggestions made in this article are by no means the only things you need to do to get your name and business opportunity recognized online. In the next few articles we will be talking about a number of different activities that will help you increase your online exposure. By combining all of these suggestions together, you will see some very positive results in your marketing quest.

If you have additional questions, or need some personal mentoring you can give the eBiz Solutions Team with BLM Traders a call. The professionals are standing by to assist you in your online endeavors.

Google Keyword Tool

Google Keyword Tool

In this article I want to share with you some information about one of the Google tools I use to help promote my businesses online.

We've discussed in recent articles about the need for proper marketing tools and some the ones that are effective and some of the marketing tools that are nothing more than pure junk that offers little to no value.

Learn How To Use Google Tools:

I personally use a lot of the marketing tools offered by Google I've found that all the tools I've used have been very effective. However, you will need to do your homework on some of these tools and understand how they work in order to get the maximum benefit of that particular marketing tool. If you're not willing to research the tool and its functions and use it correctly then you may be wise  not use it at all. Google has taken great pains to make their tools to work effectively to help you gain Top Positions on Google and other fine search engines.

Use Tool On Each Campaign:

First of all let's talk about the Google Keyword Tool which I use on every one of my personal campaigns. On every marketing campaign for my sites or websites of my clients....I will literally spend hours or sometimes even a couple of days to fine tune which keywords and keyword phrases I need to use for maximum efficiency. Every website is unique and needs to have that special attention to maximize that site with the search engines. If you're not seen on the search engines you won't be seen by the visitors looking for your opportunity.

Google Keyword Tool:

You can use the Google Keyword Tool to get new keyword ideas. Select difference options and enter a few descriptive words or phrases. Keep in mind that if you are building a website you will want to use keywords or keyword phrases that a person would search for if they were going to search for your specific product or service. This is referred to by most people as "Google It".

Important Note: Google cannot guarantee that these keywords will improve your campaign performance. They reserve the right to disapprove any keywords you add. You are responsible for the keywords you select and for ensuring that your use of the keywords does not violate any applicable laws.

Descriptive Words:

There are a couple of ways you can use this tool. You can use descriptive words or phrases and enter the keywords you want to search, one at a time and separate each of the words by a comma. You can also look for synonyms by putting a check mark in the required box.

Website Content Function:

You can also check for keywords by using the website content function. Check the applicable area and Google will search for keywords and phrases that may go with the keywords you are currently using in your website. This is an excellent way to maximize your keywords that you finally use in your source code of your website. All the keywords and phrased may not specifically to your needs. You may be limited to around 200 keywords or phrases in this function. Then edit which of the recommended keywords you feel will be more applicable to your particular offering.

Keyword Count:

There are some disagreements regarding how many keywords should be used in your website source code. In my research I found one company stated that you should not put more than 20 to 25 keywords in your source code, however, I have found a search engine that states you should hold your keyword count at no more than 847 characters. I really don't know the exact count that Google likes, so I personally use somewhere between the 20 keywords to the 847 characters. I think you will be safe by staying somewhere between those figures.

Free Tool:

This is only one of the many Google tools that you can take advantage of when building a website. Did I mention that this is one of the free services that Google provides just for having a Google account. This tool is extremely powerful so use it often and use it wisely

In future articles we will be discussing some additional Google tools that will make your marketing experience more enjoyable, effective and profitable.

If you have additional questions, or maybe you need some personal mentoring, just give us a call. You can contact the eBiz Solutions Team at BLM Traders.Com for your Free 30 minute consultation.

Seven Step Marketing Blueprint!!

Seven Step Marketing Blueprint!!

If your trying to get started on the internet with some kind of business then you need to know a bit about the process of what it takes to promote your opportunity online.

In our last few articles we've discussed some of the elements of marketing. In today's article let's put it all together without any particular marketing plan in mind. There are some required elements you must personally address if you want to fulfill your dreams in marketing online.

1) PLANNING: A good business plan in marketing is like a blueprint for a house you're about to build. What iminities are you going to incorporate into your plans? Sure we all would like the best, however, if you can't justify the biggest and best then work your plan to be realistic for your particular needs. Make sure you consider the plans affordability.

2) PREPARATION: Once you build a workable plan, then follow that plan until you accomplish your goals. This is not going to happen overnight! It probably won't happen this week or maybe even in the next month or maybe this year. Be patient and follow your plan religiously.

3) COMMITMENT: Stick with your goals until you succeed. You can't build a house in a day....neither will you build your online business by tomarrow either. Do'nt set a time frame for your success. Take your plan in steps and when you complete your first step, then implement the next step and devote the time necessary to make it happen. Continue this steady process until you become the success you want to be. Only you will know when it all comes together for you. Everyone has a different comfort level in their ideas of what internet marketing success is all about to them personally. If you want to earn "Top Positions on Google"....that requires a lot of work. However, with realistic planning, preparation and commitment you can accomplish your goals.

4) CONSISTENCY: Every day you must devote some time to make your success happen. You might commit a minimum of a couple of hours each day devoted to anything that is relative to your business goals. We are not talking about answering emails, playing game or surfing the web. By working 2 hours each day it will take a long time to accomplish your goals. My point here is ....you must make a commitment to devote whatever time it takes to meet this challenge.

5) DEDICATION: A couple of hours per day is not much time to put into your future success. When you work at a job, you devote at least 8 hours a day for 5 to 6 days per week. Sure you're paid for that time and you pay your bills with your wages earned. But look at it from a business standpoint. The company you work for was built by people who were committed and dedicated to the success of that business. They worked countless hours to make it all happen. If they only worked a couple of hours a day, their business would not be where it is today. They made a commitment to make their business happen by devoting more than just the accepted normal 8 hour work day. They were driven to succeed by their visions.

6) PROPER TRAINING: You can search the internet for information and try to teach yourself the proper methods of internet marketing, website design or any number of other things you may want to pursue. Pick an avenue that you're comfortable with and become an expert in that particular field. You must participate in training with other people who have already been down that road to success. There are any number of programs you can find.....some of those programs are very expensive, some are affordabile....do your research. You can literally break the bank on junk programs. You may or may not get some good information from junk programs. You must make a conscience decision to continue to get help and to educate yourself with the latest strategies on internet marketing.

Finally, you must have good quality contacts to market your business opportunity to. In other words you need sales leads:

7) LEADS: Don't get caught up in the worthless idea of purchasing leads. Purchasing leads just doesn't work effectively anymore. Normally purchased leads have already been sold to several people before you bought them. Why buy second hand leads? Generate your own leads in your own marketing system. This is the latest trend on the net for generating potential clients for your business opportunity.

I invite you to visit some of my sites and see how simple this process can be. I'm not trying to sell you anything here. I merely want to make suggestions of a direction which will help you accomplish your marketing goals. I have included my personal contact information so you can reach me in the event your still have further questions. I offer personal mentoring as well. The eBiz Solutions Team of BLM Traders.Com is here to help you in your online marketing journey. Call today for your no obligation consultation.

Know What To Look For..Before You Commit!

Know What To Look For..Before You Commit!

If you're researching information in order to add something to a particular area of your marketing program, there are a few things you should know and research before you make a commitment to purchase and/or participate in that new venture. This may save you a lot of grief and time in the future by asking yourself a few simple questions before you make the plunge.

Different Systems:

There are several ways a person or business can promote their business opportunity online. We've all seen advertisements that really catch the eye and possibly we've even looked into the offering a little deeper because we were curious. Once in a while we find a nugget of information that really we can grasp and can apply to our everyday lives or our existing marketing system. How does an uninformed person know where to even begin the due diligence process to see if a person or company is in fact who they say they are before the newbie commits their time and money?

Don't Be Afraid to Call:

One of the ways that I recommend to see if it's real, is to pick up the phone and see if someone on the other end answers. Maybe their contact method is an answering machine. Another thing that really upsets me is for someone to only put a P.O. Box number for their only contact information. How can anyone be receptive to their business offering by just having a post office box? What if you need to get hold of them with a question or a problem? Your system could be shut down for several hours or possibly even days. I can't stress enough the importance of being able to contact a person or business you are considering becoming a part of.

Google It:

Google provides an excellent source of information on almost any subject. Most of us know how to "Google It". Take advantage of this valuable service when doing your due diligence. Check and see if there are any negative postings regarding the venture or person you're about to associate yourself with. It's better to find out any bad news before you commit to become a part of that organization. Always do your due diligence thoroughly and you will avoid many problems later on.

Other Considerations:

One other consideration is the up front cost of the offering. Are there enrollment fees, maintenance fee, up front one time charges and the list goes on and on.

Another consideration would be....if I am looking for a lead generation program to incorporate into my existing marketing program, does the lead generating system being offered allow me to imput my personal and/or business information so I can target market a particular group of clientele? If the answer is no, then look no further...click off that program and go to the next offering.

Another question would be....How often you can submit your offering to the internet and what limitations are there on the frequency of submissions. This is a critical issue....remember you need leads to promote your opportunity.....you may need to submit your offering often, to get a lot of response with a particular ad campaign.

Another important feature I would look for is, where are those leads returned to. Do they go to someone else and then funneled to you, or are those leads returned directly into your marketing system for follow-up! Doesn't it make sense that if you are the one that is generating the lead, that the sales lead should be coming back directly to you? I think this answer is quite obvious.

Another issue would be regarding the support information. If you have a problem, who would you contact to get the issues resolved as quickly as possible. I have seen offering that had absolutely no contact information at all on their site. If you find this on any offering...immediately click off that site and go to the next offering.

This is not a complicated process....however, this is a process that you must incorportate into your pre-enrollment activities of any program if your going to be effective in your marketing efforts. Take care of this type of issue before the fact...not after the fact.

Invitation:

I invite you to visit some of my site and see what I'm talking about. After your careful review you may still have some questions. Maybe you need some personal mentoring, I can help. For additional information or mentoring you can contact me at the following contact information.

Get The Business You Deserve!!

Get The Business You Deserve!!

Are you involved in a new business venture or....are you wanting to improve your existing business exposure? Whether you're a major corporation or a home based business the need for contacts or potential clients always remains the same. We've made it very clear in some of our earlier articles that business sales leads are the life blood to successful business ventures regardless of the company size. There are various ways you can go about sales lead generation. You can use the old methods of buying list of names and working hard to cultivate good quality sales leads. There is nothing wrong with that method, unless time is important to you. We all know that time is money. Time and money are two of the ingredients of marketing that you are in complete control of.

Marketing Efforts:

Like anything else in this fast paced computer world today, you must make the most of your time and your marketing efforts. Marketing has become simpler with the advent of brilliant minds at work designing programs to do all the thing we used to do the old fashion way. One critical area one must be concerned about is to be able to select the market category you want to target. We will be talking more about target marketing a bit later and will follow up with more information about target marketing in some of our future writings.

Recent Study:

Recently I had the pleasure of researching many different sales lead programs. Some where excellent in their method of generating sales leads, however the cost was prohibitive for the small home based business entrepreneur. I also found it interesting that most of the programs could be purchased in a series of different stages and charges. Such as, if you wanted a very basic program, the price was reasonably acceptable. However, some of the most important things a small business owner needs to succeed were not included in the basic program. By the time a person enrolled in all the various add-ons such as submission services to the masses, autoresponders, keyword popularity, and search engine submission, the cost was prohibitive for the average person....especially if you're on a moderate advertising budget. The small business man could not afford all of those bells and whistles. Bottom line.....unless you had purchased the entire program, you probably still couldn't succeed in your venture, because some very important marketing tools was missing.

Filling the Marketing Needs:

Then I decided to look for a program that would fill the small business owner's needs and hopefully provide those needs in a single format. What the consumer needed was a program that would generate unlimited qualified sales leads at an affordable price. The program should include some form of training to help understand what the the program is all about and how to use the program correctly. I was surprised at the limited number of companies that provided such programing. Therefore, it becomes a huge responsibility for each of us to find that niche in the market place and then obtain the services of a professional and get the advise you need early in your venture.

Target Marketing:

I think one of the most important factors a person should consider would be....is there anyway to really focus on a particular category of clients? Target marketing should be a definite part of your marketing strategy. Laser focus on the type of potential client that needs your product of services. When you use this approach you will find that your leads to closing ratio will go up substantially. What you've done in essence is....eliminated the so call tire kickers. You will learn after awhile in this business that there are people out there that are not interest in what you have to offer...all they want to do is visit..try to recruit you to their business and take up a lot of your valuable time. That's something you'll learn quickly...believe me that lesson will save you a lot of time in the future.

In Summary:

I did find a series of programs and training that worked for me and my business opportunity. If you are faced with the same problems we discussed above....then I can help you shorten your learning cycle considerably. If you have any questions or need some personal mentoring ....I can help...Give me a call today....for a 30 minute free consultation and let's see if we can help.

Build Your Own Online Business!

Build Your Own Online Business!

The Marketing Puzzle:

How fast your business will grow depends on a number of factors. The time you devote to the project, the money you spend and the marketing strategies you impliment are all part of the big puzzle called marketing. If you already have a business, the same factors would apply for your business to continue to grow. As an example, you can't build a house with just a hammer. You can add a hand saw and the job becomes simpler. Add to your tool box a square and the job begins to make some sense. The same tools used to build a simple house is not adequate to build a skyscraper that towers hundreds of feet above the city skyline. What is the point here? Very simple....it takes the effort and proper tools to build a successful, profitable online business.

Internet Marketing:

We've shared with you before the meaning of the term Internet Marketing, however, I think it's worth repeating. The internet marketing means different things to different people, so take the part that applies to you and use it to your advantage.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says:

"Internet marketing, also referred to as online marketing or Emarketing, is the marketing of products or services over the Internet. The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing including low costs in distributing information and media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing, both in terms of instant response, and in eliciting response, are unique qualities of the medium. Internet marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the internet, including design, development, advertising and sales. Internet marketing methods include search engine marketing, display advertising, e-mail marketing, affiliate marketing, interactive advertising, blog marketing, and viral marketing.

Internet marketing is the process of growing and promoting an organization using online media. Internet marketing does not simply mean 'building a website' or 'promoting a website'. Somewhere behind that website is a real organization with real goals.

Internet marketing strategy includes all aspects of online advertising products, services, and websites, including market research, email marketing, and direct sales."

Learning Process:

Just having a computer and knowing how to write emails, play games, text message and all the other normal things one might do on the computer is not adequate knowledge to build an effective business on line. You must commit your time and efforts to become efficient in marketing. Where do you learn such information? Let me share with you a few strategies that will help you in your marketing efforts and make this learning process much easier to grasp.

Training Available:

There are online tutorials and recorded classes available that you can use to self study and learn how to do a multitude of different chores on the internet. Without the knowledge of what you need to learn with regard to internet marketing you will waste a huge amount of valuable time on learning various programs that will have absolutely no bearing on your goals of promoting on the internet. Knowledge is important, however, you must channel those efforts in areas where it will be profitable in your long range goals of successful marketing. These goals must be your personal goals and nobody elses.

Learning Basic HTML:

You need to learn some html code for writing articles, ezines, press releases etc. it's imperative you learn some basic html code. If your efforts is going to be focused on building websites you will have to devote even more time and effort to learn some intermediate to advanced codes. Don't attempt to learn everything before you start using and blending your knowledge into effective marketing. Immediately start the process of using what you learn and applying that knowledge into effective marketing by writing articles about your business opportunity and publishing those articles online for the world to see. The more you write the better you become in conveying your knowledge to potential clients about your product or service you're trying to market online.

Find the Right Tools:

You will need to find a marketing program that will fit your business plan and goals supplying you with the information you need to proceed with your marketig efforts. Where do you find such a program? There are literally hundreds and thousand of program offerings on the internet today. Sure many of those programs are no more than a lot of promises and some are even rip offs, however, there are any number of legitimate sources where you can find quality effective programming. This process will take time and will set you back a bit from accomplishing your goals. Use a professional and allow them to help you understand if you are even headed in the right direction.

No Shortcuts:

In my internet marketing journey, I have been through the process of learning all the things I needed to know to start selling on the internet. I searched for five years and stumbled from program to program. There were no shortcuts then and there are no shortcuts now to becoming a success on the internet. It takes time, devotion and effort to learn the things that are important so you can apply the knowledge you've learned and start making the money you deserve. Most people don't have the knowledge or know how to acquire that knowledge to become successful without getting some form of professional help. That's where we come in...if you need help just give us a call for a free consultation.

Start your own Home Based Business!!

 
Start your own Home Based Business!!


If you're new to the internet and you're a bit confused about where to start your online journey...maybe I can help simplify the process.

Are You Serious About Your Future:

First of all what is your motivation for wanting to do an online business? Are you truly serious about making money online or is it your intent to play games, download music or start a home based business? If you're intent is just to play games, download music or email your friends then your needs are rather simple. You will figure those answers out on your own. However, if you are really serious about creating a home based business, then you will need some additional help in the form of training, quality marketing plans and some direction on how to start this whole process. There are only a few who start the marketing online venture that make any money with their online efforts. Don't get discourged because with the right attitude, effective maketing tools and a personal commitment to your future, you too can become one of the limited few who really make it in this business, and I'm here for you to make that happen.

How Important are Contact:

One thing that is important to marketing effectively online would be a good source of contacts. The old philosopy of build it and they will come doesn't necessarily mean that idea will work on the internet. The old multi level idea of contacting all your relatives, friends, and stop everyone in the mall will talk to you can and tell them about your opportunity just doesn't work. The process of lead generation, writing effective keyword rich articles, submitting your opportunity to the search engines and keeping up with the responses is a never ending job, but it will make you money.

Searching Google:

If you Google the term "leads" or "lead generation" you will be amazed at the number of listings you have to choose from. There are 170,000,000 listings for the term leads, and for the term "lead generation" there are 47,800,000 listings for the phrase lead generation. Which one of these 217,800,000 sites do you finally click on to start generating sales leads and making some money? You could actually spend the rest of your life reviewing all of these sites and you would probably be more confused than you may be right now. There are things to look for and important procedures you must follow in order to cut down on your learning curve. Don't try to learn it all before you start. Learn where to start and then proceed until that activity becomes second nature to you and then go to the next step of the learning process.

False Promises:

This is where the big questions pop up....."Where do you turn to find the answers?" It seems like every internet guru says their program is the best. You can talk to the "so called" professional marketers and they will tell you that you can be successful if you pay them large sums of money. I've seen programs cost from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Maybe they can recommend you an excellent product for the professionals, however, will the program work as advertised for the little guy, or is it just a bunch of false promises? Maybe they are making a substantial commission on the program and that's why their program cost so much. Don't get me wrong...I'm not opposed to making money and making a profit on the programs I recommend, however, these programs must be cost effective for the customer or they will drop the program quickly. You must be in this industry for the long haulto be profitable with multiple stream of online income. If you don't know how to do this...we will show you.

Easy To Use:

Early in my venture to the internet I was fortunate to stumble onto a program that really worked as advertised at an affordable price. This program offered an affordable, effective marketing program for the small home based business Mom and Pop operation. There is one lead generation program within the portals of the system that really stands out. The visionaries who founded this company has devoted their career to perfecting their marketing system to supply quality marketing tools for the small home based business individuals. The program is very affordable, and extremely easy to use....even for the beginner.

No Hidden Charges:

There are no startup fees, registration fees, activation fees, absolutely no hidden charges. Just pure down to earth, easy to understand and extremely effective results.
