SEO Tips:

Successful percentage of what?

You mean what percentage succeed? Less than 1% of online sales websites succeed……

Here are some things to think about though.

1. What are you selling? Do people want it? Is it sell-able? Can it be purchased for cheap and sold in mass quantities?

2. How will you market it? Word of mouth only gets you so far.

3. What is your marketing budget? You will need to do SEO and PPC advertising as well as viral marketing, most likely adwords etc… Adwords can get very expencive very quick, ESPECIALLY if you don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t just throw a bunch of money at it and hope to get hits.

4. Do you know a DAMNED THING about web design? If you don’t you will have to pay someone to do it for you, and will have to pay another person to do what i said above.

There are ways however to make money online.. I’ve done a lot of it myself. Affiliate programs are the biggest and easiest to figure out.

90% of the ebay stores are selling items from an affiliate program or a drop shipping company.

Do a search for “97 honda civic headlights” or something like that on Ebay, and you’ll see all kinds of crazy modified headlights and xenon bulb lights and random crap for your car… And you’ll notice that 10 people are selling the same exact headlight!!! They are NOT purchasing these items, stocking them in their bedrooms and selling them on ebay..

They sign up with that company as a drop shipper and they put an add on ebay. If it sells, they collect the money from the buyer, send it to the shipper and the shipper sends it to the purchaser, the seller on ebay collects their profit and repeats process.

That’s one way to do it.

Another way is like i said. Affiliate marketing.

Lets say that John the “dating guru” sells E-books about how to meet women in bars. You sign up as an affiliate, and you get on forums and say “WOW this JOHN guy changed my damned life! You should really really check out his book.. Here’s a link!! ”

people go to that link, and they like what they see… There are 3 ways John the dating guru will pay you.

He’ll either give you something like 10-50% of the cost of the Ebook (which by the way costs him NOTHING to reproduce since it’s a damned PDF file on john’s server), or.. John will pay you $.02 for each person who clicks on the link you spammed on the forums, or, if you have your OWN website, john may pay you for impressions, meaning, every time your website shows his banner, he has to pay you$.001 (typically its a dollar per 1k impressions)

if you have 10 or 20 affiliate programs going, are decently good with adwords, etc, you can create mini sites or landing pages that link to these affiliates, and you get paid when people visit them. Adwords can very easily eat up 130% of your profit though if you don’t know what you’re doing..

I’ll give you a little tip… 90% of the links you see on yahoo right now about random things – in fact i’m almost positive there will be 2 or 3 HERE by the time i send this….. – are affiliate programs, and these guys get paid when someone clicks the link or buys the products.

Actually, honestly, most of them aren’t even real people. The people who REALLY got it down, have software which goes and auto-posts junk on here, which is why they don’t always make sense to the question asked.

Anyway, i made 4 -10k per month every month for a year doing this IN MY SPARE TIME, and worked a 40 hour a week job with a photography studio, and did my own freelance stuff on the weekends…

However,

1.. I am a web designer and developer
2. I know how to use adwords correctly

can you learn? Hell yeah…..

Will you have what it takes to do it?

I dont know… You need the patience and the ability to research, investigate, read read read study read more study, learn, and get REALLY damned frustrated without giving up, and also you need the ability to waste about 2k while you learn how to do this correctly…

Good luck in your ventures

SEO Tips:

Hi Borjan,

There are lots of ways to make money fast, even for teenagers =), but one of the easiest ways is to do internet marketing and become an affiliate marketer and sell other people’s stuff, and all you need is the right information to get started!

Lots of people have their own affiliate marketing websites. In today’s competitive markets, nearly everyone has a web presence and many of them are increasingly joining or starting up their own affiliate programs, which provide them with opportunities to make money online today.

Although the opportunities may be be numerous and seem highly promising, it is important, however, for each internet marketer to choose their niche carefully.

As an affiliate marketer, you will be setting up a website that promotes the products of another company or the products and services from several different companies.

In order to start your own site, of course, you’ll need to choose a suitable web host as well as a niche that you understand very well, are extremely passionate about, and is popular enough to help you generate interest in your site as well as sales on your partner’s site/s.

Choosing the right web host is crucial to your success. You need to find a host that provides you with reasonable annual costs, an uptime service guarantee, and dependable customer support.

This will ensure that your site stays up and that any problems which arise on the host’s end are resolved quickly. Customer reviews and recommendations from friends may help you choose the right host for your site.

To become an affiliate marketer, you can join a program that is hosted by your current web host or you can join a company that specializes in affiliate marketing programs. Some companies even offer their own schemes, which require you to advertise only their products and services on your site.

To choose your niche, be sure to select something that actually interests you, since you will be writing about it on a daily or near daily basis. The niche should also be popular and preferably not overly saturated with websites.

A popular niche to write about currently is web hosting services, for example, but the level of public interest is still high enough for new affiliates to make money writing on the topic.

By joining an affiliate program through your web host, you may even be able to get your site hosted for free. For instance, you can join their program and add a “powered by” or “hosted by” link in the header or footer of each page on your website.

When one of your visitors clicks on this link, you may be able to start generating affiliate payments. However, your website needs to be interesting because you will need a lot of clicks or buys on your host’s site in order to get paid a decent wage.

There is no specific formula that you can use in order to be a successful affiliate. However, you can increase your chances of becoming a super affiliate by ensuring the SEO on your site is up to scratch, choosing the right market, promoting your site, and creating quality content on a regular basis that keeps your readers coming back for more.

So this is just one of the ways to make money fast. Once you get the hang of it and start generating some cash, you can look for more ways to make money.

Hope that helps and good luck!

SEO Tips:

To get people to go to your website effectively, you have two options, spend time or spend money.

For gaining traffic to your website without cost, you will be looking at some time being spent.

Back links are very important and can arguably be the best way to increase your website exposure. Effective back links are one way links (meaning not a link exchange) from other websites to yours. For example, had you put a link to your website in your question, you would have created a back link as yahoo instantly indexes the Q&A section of their website. Even Google picks it up. You can build back links in placing your url in ads such as craigslist, creating or comenting on blogs on wordpress and myspace as well as other blogging websites. These are all methods that give you white hat back links.

Caution: do not pay for your back links through back linking companies. This is considered black hat SEO and will actually drop your ranking or get you suspended all together from the big boys of search engines.

As far as paid methods, look at pay per click as a great option. PPC is the process of advertising your business on a search engine within the sponsored results. You choose what keyword phrases you are willing to pay for being in, I.e. Website design.For cost effectiveness, consider narrowing your results as much as possible. For example, Sacramento website design instead of website design would be a more focused result and would by proxy cost much less than the broad term.

SIA Professional Services has an articles section in their website which has a ton of website marketing tips that should help you at www.siaservices.net just go to their blog or their articles section.

Be sure you are submitting your website on a regular basis, especially whenever you are doing some good updates on your site. The search engines will see your site being updated on a regular basis and index you accordingly. There are some free submission sites, but I have seen in my experience that those don’t nearly perform as well on a regular basis as professional SEO and marketing companies.

There is plenty more that you can do, but hopefully this give you a good starting point.

Good Luck and hope this helps

SEO Tips:

I have checked SEO of your website by a tool http://websitemeaning.com and the report is at http://websitemeaning.com/zingro.com-www.aspx

It is good to see that your website is not spamming, you have sitemaps, robots.txt etc.

But you are lacking credible backlinks from valuable websites. Your website is quite new,

Keep on adding quality content rather than wasting time in Big SEO techniques.

SEO Answers:

If you’re a small biz with limited amount of money to have a good seo will cost you lots of money. Make sure you have great content on all pages not just your front page for example if you’re selling a product or service makes sure that page has great body copy with the keywords you want to be found for say about 300 words will do it. This also helps with the Google panda update. You find out how to write this body copy if you go to the link in the source from mattseo.com… Also NOTE with any seo guy what you pay for is what you get.

SEO Answers:

That is the name Google assigned to a filter that is periodically run to identify sites with low quality, unoriginal content. Many small sites have lost search ranking due to this filtering as well as major sites like Ezinearticles. This is in greater Google’s trying to counter the effect of their Adsense advertising system that has encouraged the creation of thousands of “made for Adsense” sites with little real value to users.

Here’s an early report on some of the first sites effected by Panda:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/googles-farmer-update-analysis-of-winners-vs-losers

A newer filer that Google added to identify sites using SEO manipulation tricks is the Penguin filter:

Google estimates that the initial Penguin version effected 3.5% of searches.

The folks at SEOmoz have some insightful thoughts on the topic, it’s too early to measure what’s being targeted since the fallout from Google’s recent de-indexing of private blog networks have muddied the waters, avoiding too many keyword anchor text links, keyword stuffing and perhaps keyword domain names is high on the suspect list.

Here is some positive advice:

SEO Answers:

First, I don’t work for Google so I cannot profess to be an expert in what they do, however, I have spent many years doing SEO for people – with specific concentration and great results thereof on Google so I do believe that my insight can be valid.

Unless you are paying for links or doing anything unethical – you probably didn’t do anything wrong.

Instead, here’s what I think might have happened… It was a Google Algorithm change. It didn’t just happen to you it happened to millions of websites. (Do a search on Google Panda or Fresh updates and see for yourself).

If this is what happened to you please don’t give up or get disheartened. It’s simply how things work and we have to accept that if we wish to stay in business online.

Besides…there are over 500 algorithm changes rolled out every single year by Google as they continue to strive for better results. Yes, it makes it very hard for us to CHASE top positions or expect to stay there when we get there. But it also keeps site owners and SEO’s honest – so we have to appreciate that.

One thing I should tell you is if you did launch your site back in November, you might have been one of the lucky ones who got to the top because of the Google Fresh update. This update was focused on making FRESH and NEW content available to users – not just the same old same old. A lot of new websites experienced a quick rise at this time and you might have been one of them.

Then…with the next update….

Many of them, along with many of the previous TOP SPOTTERS did experience a decline thereafter too.

So long story short – you probably didn’t do anything wrong. You just fell pray to a Google update (or two) like the rest of the world.

Going forward…

As long as you are working on providing good valuable content to your readers – you may very well climb back up from time to time and it will be nice when it happens. Chances are some of your solo posts are getting top positions even if your main home page isn’t.

That said, it will be wise to always be mindful that staying up top is not something you nor anyone can guarantee so IF you do get there, my recommendation would be to appreciate it while it’s happening but don’t bank on it forever.

You certainly don’t want to base your financial projections on the results you get from being up top either. This can run you into a lot of missed revenues. I’ve seen it happen many times.

Sorry I can’t give you any better info – but it’s how things work.

SEO Answers:

It’s still a pretty young site in search ranking terms, people talk of the Google Dance, when they introduce some algorithm change ranking positions can shuffle around for a time. You didn’t mention if this drop is just for your primary keyword or multiple keywords. I didn’t see obvious reasons why a Panda filter pass or human review would shake your ranking. If you were using Google’s paid Adwords system they would want to see a terms and conditions as sell as a privacy link to gain the best quality score.

Load speed is a factor, maybe your hot was down on last spidering, on my second access it felt like over 10 seconds load time, be sure you have a wordpress cache installed.

Be sure you are using a search rank checker to monitor your position for a list of important keywords you can identify with the Google Keyword Tool.

Use either the free rankchecker for firefox http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/ or the rankcheker in the free evaluation version of SEO Powersuit http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/ to generate a search ranking report for the list of keywords, the latter has some other analysis functions.

Unfortunately the Open Site Explorer hasn’t indexed your backlinks as yet.

Http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=resolvedhypnotherapy.co.uk

I trust you have a vitally important Google Places page (and the Yahoo counterpart)

Try a Google search for: hypnotherapy, oxford

The A-G lettered stick pins symbols are places listings, see the additional info rolling on the >> symbol brings up, these don’t look well developed, you should see stars from client reviews and photos rolling over >>. There are ranking methods to get a places page on results page 1, mainly reviews and citations non many other directories.

SEO Answers:

Much of the advise being given out on generating web traffic through Google is either incorrect or out of date since the introduction of Google Panda. The Google Panda Update was designed to put high quality web pages on their front pages despite PageRank. Although link building and PageRank are still important there are several new features added to Google’s algorithm that has effected many website. Many website owners are totally unaware of the reasons why their websites have fallen in ranking or are not receiving the web traffic they feel it deserves. I feel it is important that every website owner should become familiar with the Google Panda Update.
Http://panda-seo.blogspot.com/
The Panda Update only effects search results from the Google Search Engine but Google handles almost 3/4 of all search queries.

SEO Answers:

Odds are you were hit ny the Penguin SEO spam filter. Did you not receive any “Unnatural link pattern” warnings from webmaster tools?

I has a look at your links they at least seemed to be on vaguely related pages, unlike the worst spambot generated paid links.

Some webmasters are scrambling to remove the worst of the junk backlinks in order to improve their profile. Your pretty much stuck with the large number of links you have, seeking only quality links from ranked sites might be the best compensation. And go easy on the keyword anchor text links, no more than 20% o total links.

They then alert Google that there is no longer a connection with these links:

Tips Direct from Yahoo Answers!:

Page Rank is calculated by inbound links and outbound links to your website,
since the introduction on the Google Panda Update many sites have lost Page Rank.

This is due to previously placed backlinks losing value. Google in an effort to place newer content on the front pages sites that have newer and updated content has gained PageRank. Creating more inbound links to your site by placing comments on websites that are producing new content from April 2011 will increase your ranking as these sites have gained in page rank. When you find a site that has new content post comments on as many pages as you can. Be careful that the owner doesn’t delete your comments for spamming. This a good way to build organic backlinks to your site.

Well the luck plays it’s part on this!! But I’m going to tell u something! If u put the idea on your mind and u worked really really hard on it! You will get it !! There is nothing impossible in this life!! As I see their videos getting a lot of views, they don’t seem to be special ( or very talented) even gives me a feeling that anybody who is serious about making videos can actually get a lot of views.
You can greatly increase your YouTube views by following basic optimization tips:
1. Title: optimize titles so that they get better search engine results plus get a lot of views on YouTube.
2. Thumbnails: Select a compelling thumbnail that catches eyes.
3. Don’t make an Ad(only for commercial purpose): if your video doesn’t provide any value it won’t be viewed again and again.
4. Be innovative: Innovative videos spread like a virus on social networking sites and easily get on the front page of YouTube. So be creative, be funny.
5 .Optimize tags: Ensure proper tagging to get better position in search results.
6.Social networking: use twitter,facebook,Myspace to promote…
7. Your personal blog: set up a website or a blog. Direct people from videos to blog also vice versa.
8.Use other video sites: use the power of Daily Motion, MetaCafe and other video sites.
9.Never Ever give up: Even if your initial attempts fail, do yourself a favour, don’t give up.

Tips Direct from Yahoo Answers!:

Web advertising is a continuous thing. It’s not often that you’d get one link and VIOLA – traffic come pouring in. It takes months to get your site visible out there. Just make sure that you dedicate AT LEAST 1 hour per day marketing your site – whether writing press releases, participating in forums, etc.

Successful marketing is always a combination of many things — great content, good search engine rankings, listings in key websites, press releases, etc.

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE! Here are some recommend this site scripts (many are free) that you can use http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s “Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day.” http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

6. Improve your conversion (if you are selling a product). Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article “10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers” http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

7. Promote your blog (if you have a blog). Here is a comprehensive list of sites where you can promote your blog or RSS feeds http://www.powerhomebiz.com/onlinemarketing/blogs.htm

Tavis Yeung answers:

Start with downloading a submission button from onlywire.com (under the tools tab from their website). With just one click you get to submit your content to about 24 networking sites.

I also recommend downloading a status bar from alexa.com to keep track of your website SEO easily. Make sure you download it as statusbar and not as toolbar.

I also use article marketing for SEO. With a unique piece of technology I get to submit my articles to over 200 article directories. This creates lots of backlinks, which help SEO further. You get to rank on the first pages of google easily doing that, thus getting more targeted visitors to your website.

Tavis Yeung answers:

Check their API or Webmster tools. I’m sure there’s a search widget they offer:

http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/

Tavis Yeung answers:

Since Yahoo! And Bing are big search engines, it will take time for your site to be indexed. Also, make sure you have your site on ‘guests can view’ mode. The bots from Y! And Bing will then appear on your site, index all the available content, and put it up.

Tavis Yeung answers:

It can take months to get your backlinks from directory listings. Bing is a search engine by Microsoft. It has similar webmaster tools as Google.

You can get free high quality backlinks from bookmark sites like digg, reddit, stumbleupon and delicious. You could also try socialmonkee, which has a free version that gives you 25 backlinks (daily) that are quickly indexed. Not very high quality, but still better than nothing.

Tavis Yeung answers:

I think you have to submit sitemap in yahoo and Bing webmaster tool.

Tavis Yeung answers:

Register your website with google via google webmaster tools. Do the same for Bing, and Yahoo. Yahoo also has a webmaster section to register on. Build a sitemap and register your sitemap to all the search engines. Post/update frequently and gain backlinks. Word your files and articles to contain your keywords you are trying to target. Google images is also very powerful so alot of pictures and dont forget the TITLE and ALT fields in the html code, this is what google reads to tell what the picture is about.

Tavis Yeung answers:

Fist of all, 2 months is not really much time for a site to be online and to start getting any kind of organic traffic, you should be thinking in the 3, 4, 5 -month ballpark before it starts kicking in. Google will probable take longer– Yahoo and Bing, somewhat less.

As far as getting “major organic searches”, it’s going to take more than just time for that to happen. Here at Metapilot, we often get asked this question by new site owners. Besides time, you need to be investing resources into your site’s content, optimization, back links and analytics in order for the site to start paying you back with traffic.

In order to make sure things are on the right track at this point, here are a few things you look at:

First, do the following search in Google, Yahoo, and Bing:
site:mydomain.com (replace mydomian.com with your domain name without the www).

Notice if all of the pages you’ve created on your site are listed in the results of each of those searches. If not, ensure that your site is not all in flash, that your navigation is not in flash or JavaScript, that your default page is not completely in Flash, and work on getting some decent links to your site.

Do each of the pages that show up in the site:mydomain.com search contain unique snippets (the snippet is the link and the description that is listed for each page)? If not, edit each of your pages’ html to include a unique title tag and meta description tag that is relevant specifically to it’s specific page.

Does the URL (web page address) that shows up for each listing in the site:mydomain.com search include the www or not? If not, you may have canonicalization issues to address. Go to Google webmaster tools and select your preferred domain, make sure that links to your homepage from within your site all point to your preferred domain, make sure that your designer used your preferred domain when linking to your site from their portfolio, and verify that any directory or other links you’ve been building are also pointing to your preferred domain.

Make sure that you’ve submitted your site through each of the search engine’s local/maps interfaces and that you’ve submitted it to the Yellow Pages, Citysearch, local.com, Superpages.com, and Insiderpage.com

After doing all of that, focus on keyword research, building content pages focused around your keyword research, and on link building.
