Writing Press Releases Builds Website Traffic Fast

If you really want to get your website noticed then you need
to write press releases. With a press release(PR) you can be seen
both on and off the web. This can also open new doors that
will allow you to market your products to others. So hear are
some tips on how to write a press release.Using press releases makes others see you as an expert. When your
name and product can be seen all across the internet people
will see you as an authority of whatever your niche is.

Another great benefit to writing press releases is that your URL
will be indexed in search engines in 24 hours. That's right,
you will not have to wait 3 to 6 months to be indexed anymore.
That means no more paying big bucks to get listed fast.

You can find both paid and free press releases services out
their so you will find one to fit your budget.

When you start writing press releases do not make your release
sound like an ad. It needs to be newsworthy and informative.
Quote yourself and others, make your release seem like a report
was giving good information from a reliable source.

Make your title keyword rich with the niche you are marketing
to. Use keyword tools to find keywords that gets the most hits.
Select about 5-10 keywords that is both used the most and that
matches your website to bring your targeted traffic to your niche.
Try to use the first 5 words as your keywords that you want to
be noticed for. Use those words as part of the title. You can
also take a look at good copywriting titles from the past and
see if you can use them to fit your campaign.

Create a subheading and also make it keyword rich repeating
some of the title keywords you used. This only needs to be
about 2-3 sentences long explaining a little about what your
(PR) is all about.

The body of your (PR) has to tell a good story. A story that
people will really want to read. Whether it's long or short
add relevant keywords and have them mentioned 4-7 times in
your release.

Then length of your press release should be about 200-500
words. You can make them longer than that but with so many
(PR) being sent in your release needs to be quick and
powerful.

Include the basic who, what, where, when, why, how in your
release. Remember, you are not selling to the media you are
educating them. Building up there curiosity is the only way
you are going to get your release sent out.

On your (PR) limit the use of words like "you" or "I" or
even "he" or "she". For example say "One Can Lose Weight"
instead of "You Can Lose Weight".

Try to include your URL in the body if it is relevant to
what you are talking about. A good text link like that will
give you that much of a chance that your website ends up
on page one of search engines.

At the bottom there should be a way to contact you whether by
phone number or website email so the media can get back to you
if they like what they see.

Submit press release on days when it will cost you less like
Thursday and Friday. Most people pay top dollar for days like
Monday and Tuesday so save yourself a little money now and
then get the best spots once you start making money.

So there you have it. Using press releases will explode your
site on the web and maybe even make you a minor celebrity.
Get the respect you crave for and the credibility that will
make people do business with you.

Affiliate Marketing Programs can change your life

Affiliate marketing is everywhere on the web and it seems like
everybody is making money, but are they really?

The way affiliate marketing works is that you get a code that lets
you use their sells website and when someone buys through your link
you get a percent of the sale. Sometimes as much as 75%. This can
be a good way to gain a second income or even replace you income all
together. To make it work you need to know what you are doing.

One of the fastest was to make money from home is to become an
affiliate and sell someone elses product. Most affiliate programs
are free to join but you may go broke trying to advertise the
product. Before you spend a dime on ads you should do your research
on the product first to make sure you are not pushing some scam.

Make sure that the product delivers what it promises. You may need
to try it yourself before you start advertising it. You don't
want to promote alot of hype with not real product to support
it. You can also check blogs and forms to see if other members
have used the product and see what they say about it.

Watch out for affiliate programs that want you to pay to promote their product because if they have a real product that works it will sell itself without you having to pay anything up front.

Stay away from MLM(Multi Level Marketing) programs because they offer
no product to sell. Its all about getting the next person to sign up
and paying to join and then the next. This system is just a pyramid
scheme and you will not see any money from this.

Also avoid music and movie download products because most of them
are illegal and you may get banned for using them.

Use a landing page to promote your product if you thing that the sells
pitch is not good enough. This is also good for gathering email
addresses so you can promote other products to that customer later.

Practice your ad writing skills before you start promoting. Your ad
can deliver an emotional responds that drives a person to click your
ad or answer a question that they have been looking for. Let your
customers know what benefits the product has to offer.

If you don't see any sells from your ad then you need to reevaluate
your ad or select a different product to promote. It's a good ideal
to see what type of products are hot right now and promote it first
before you try to sell a product that no one has heard of.

In summary, learn all you can first before you get started. Only a
small amount of people make big money doing this so don't give up.
Just make sure you don't jump in without to proper knowledge first.

Niche Market Research will Save your Website

You have a website, but is it a niche market website? If you are not sure what
a niche market website is then listen up.

If your website is about trucks, for example, then that would not be a
niche. A niche would have to go deeper than that. If you sell fuel
saving devices for trucks then that would qualify as a niche. See, a
niche is more specific. It tackles a single problem or product that
a customer may be looking for. If someone is in need to save fuel on
their truck then your website is more likely to come up in search
engines results than if your site was just simply about trucks.

So if you like a particular subject then decide what part of it you
are going to go for first. Look for something that is hot right now
and then build a website around it. I just saw that a new website
that is like youtube but it was for pets and their owners. This
person obviously realized that pets is hugh right now and anything
with a pet will get people to sign up and that's the kind or niche
market research that can set your website apart from everybody elses.

So sign up for blogs and forums and see what is being talked about
the most in that subject. If you find a particular part is being
talked about the most then build your website around that part.
Then all you have to do is let other in the blogs and forms know
that you have a website that goes into detail about that certain
subject.

When you decide on what niche you want to build a website on then
use a keyword tool like Google keyword or wordtracker to see how
many time people are looking up that word for phrase. You may find
that those keywords get looked up alot with only a few hundred
thousand sites and pages using it. So if you build your niche website
around those keywords with plenty of fresh content and backlinks then
you have a shot at getting your website on page one giving you free
traffic.

From their its all about finding good products and services needed
to satisfy your customers. Try to find products that is targeted to
your specific niche only. Don't just have random products to sell
or you will lose alot of credability from your customers. Your
product should solve a problem or answer a question that they need
an answer to. If you do this then your site will become viral and
you customers will tell the people on their blogs and forums where
they got it from and send more customers your way.

By doing this you will dominate that niche and from there you can
branch off and create other websites that solve other problems in
that field and with having a good reputation people will jump to
buy from you again.

So just remember to build a website around a particular niche in
that subject then research it and market it to those customers
that is looking for that niche and you can find your success
sooner than you thing.

Backlinks Are Good Enough to Scam for

As we all know, if you want to get free traffic to your
website you are going to need good quality backlinks.
As with everything else, there is a right way and a wrong
way to get them. So here are some tips that can help you
avoid being scammed on backlinks.

Con artist have developed some very sneaky way of getting
one way links to there site. For example, some will see
your email address and offer to trade links with you.
They start by showing you a link that they all ready gave
you on one of there pages praise your site. Then they ask
you if you would be so kind as to give them one in return.
So after seeing how nicely they asked and viewing the
glowing endorsement they gave you about your site you
decide to go ahead and give them a link back to their
site. Now you think everybody is happy and will benefit
from each others links. But will you?

After receiving your link several things can go wrong. One
thing could be that the con artist simply removes your link
creating a one way backlink for themselves. Another thing
could be that you never had a link at all from their website.
They simply created a separate page outside of their real
website so if you keep checking back you will see something
but if you check their website from the home page and search
each page your link is never found.

This can happen to anybody some make sure before you trade
links with someone that your link it can be found from the
home page and not just directly from that page they sent you.
also check back frequently to make sure that your link hasn't
been removed.

Another way they can rip off a link from you is to set up a
fake directory. They tell you that you can submit your site
to our directory for free backlinks and all you have to do is give us
a reciprocal link back to our site and you name and email
address. So you follow the steps they laid out for you to
submit your site and give them the information that they
ask for. Now you site back and hope that their directory
can bring you some traffic.

Guest what, that right no traffic. Why you ask, because
their directory is not real in the sense that no one is using
it except for the people who are submitting to it. But thanks
to your link that you gave them more people are submitting
to them and giving them links. Oh, by the way, remember
seeing that little message that says "We hate spam and your
email address will never be sold or give away by us" under
where you gave your email address? Well I hate to tell you
this but your email address will get sold and you will start
noticing a high amount of spam in your account.

So how do you know which directory to use? Simple, it all
about learning how do your research first. If you want to
submit to directories then start with the ones you trust
like Google or yahoo. After that, search on the web and
submit to the top directories found. If you start seeing
ads for directories that you never heard of and you still
what to submit to them then set up a separate email just
for thoughs directories and you won't have to deal with
the potential spam on your main email address. If you
can see which one is sending spam just remove the link
from your site.

Well that all for now. I hope this information has helped
you recognized a good link from a bad one. I hope that
you understand that you don't have to resort to dirty
tricks to get links to your site. Just be honest and
trustworthy and you will get the links needed to make your
site succeed.
