But in 2010 there has been a huge leap forward in what has helped online marketers achieve a much higher level of return for their investments using more powerful PPC tools that are available today.

I was fortunate enough to come across something totally out of this world. For those who have been involved with SEO over the years would know Brad Callen he is the founder of SEO Elite which everyone knows as one of the first and best SEO programs out there, at least back in it’s time.

Brad Callen decided to step into the PPC software business and launched two very powerful PPC Tools. After reviewing what they can do, I was certainly impressed. I have spent some time working with PPC recently and found his PPC programs to be the bomb!

Submit A Press Release With PRWeb

Tags: Press Release, PRWeb, Submission, Submit

Although a little bit costly, PRWeb are really my favourite Press release submission company. I have sent dozens of press releases to them over the years. It is particularly useful to submit a press release with them when you have just launched a company or product or you have a special announcement to make.

Why I prefer a Press Release rather then an Article?

With Press Releases you can create buzz and get your audience to look at what you have to offer, it is more like an advertorial. Where as an article is about general facts of a particular topic and in no way or form needed or intended to be anything more then a smell or trace of promotion.

What is so special about PRWeb?

One thing about a press release from PRWeb is you instantly get good qualified traffic to your site once you have submitted your release. Most news aggregator sites link to PRWeb so if you have a press release that is interesting enough, sites even as big as Business Week and Yahoo news will post your content. Very useful for traffic building.

You can even get first page rankings for the keywords in your article title, it is that powerful!

Other good points is you can add video to your press release, logos and links!

Every time I launch a new site I use PRWeb !

Facebook Ads Guide Review on how to Make Money with Facebook

Facebook are completely dominating the online advertising industry for 2010. This year alone, they have generated $1.68 billion dollars worth of advertising. With Facebook having over 500 million active users and are the 2nd most visited site in the world apart from Google. It is no surprise that there is a big number of people and busineses turning to them for advertising.

In case you haven’t heard Jonathon Volk is one of the top super affiliate marketers out there today who has already made 1 millon dollars from Facebook advertising. He recently put together a Facebook Ads Guide to help users to convert more sales using Facebook Advertising. Because I have read the book, I feel obliged to write some points about it:

A Facebook Ads Guide Review on The Good, Bad and the not so Ugly

Positive:

It goes into great detail on how to set up your ad to make it look appealing and how to word it to get the most attention and have people click the ad. It also mentions ways to bring your click rate down so you pay very little. He also describes that you do not need a website to make money from Facebook amongst other things. If you follow step by step the way I did you will convert sales. However it is all down to how determined you are following what he suggests step by step.

What I also liked is how he gives you detailed information on finding out your demographics, from age and gender which helps you get more qualified leads through your ad campaign and he points you in the right direction which 3rd party tools to use.

Negative:

There was no mention about Day parting or advanced management for hundreds of ads, but apart from the ebook itself it meets my criteria in being informative and also allowing myself to make some money from it. So the book paid for itself. A little bit pricey but no real complaints.

Special Bonus Included:

Facebook Affiliate Offers Guide – Guide written by super affiliate and network owner, Ryan Eagle. This guide goes through specific facebook offers and shows you exactly how to run them on Facebook. No guesswork…
Facebook Ads Guide Newsletter – Occationally you will receive a newsletter with all the TOP offers that you can run on Facebook with tips and tricks on how you can run the offers.
Top Fan Page List / Guide – Learn how to utilize fan pages to better target your advertising! Includes a list of the top fan pages in numerous categories! (We’ve never released this list before)
Keyword Targeting List – SPECIAL facebook keyword list formulated to help you target SPECIFIC people groups that you normally cannot target!

My Final Thoughts

If you have not already tried using Facebook Ads, you are losing out on a huge market, and lots of money. Get in on the action, do not be afraid of spending a few bucks that can make you a few thousand or a million like the super affiliates are doing.

How We Feel When We Are On The First Page?

Tags: Advertising, Internet, Marketing, SEO

All of the webmasters and bloggers right now are competing with each other to get their site on the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing. The question is, are you ready to take the challenge? Getting your site on the first page is not easy, and as a beginner it will take you months to a year of hard work in getting your site on top of search engine rankings in the internet. Keyword research and analysis are definitely recommended for you, in order to know which one has a higher competition and which one has the lower competition. But if you have your own unique keyword or niche it’s truly a good potential that you will have a much easier time getting there.

You need to be patient until you ranked your site on the first page. Keyword combination is relatively important, you have to be wise in mixing keywords or keyphrases. It relies on your intelligence when using the Google Keyword External Tool for determining keywords with low, average and high competition. Definitely, it all starts with a website.

Creating a website is truly potential which more webmasters are successful with it. Without your own website, it’s impossible for you to be on the first page right? You are not indexed without your own website unless you verify it using Google Webmaster Tools and other indexing tools of Yahoo and Bing. If your site was finally indexed, you can now perform your search engine optimization (SEO), and search engine marketing (SEM) skills.

The sites must be do-follow, so that you can provide your own link juice. You can determine it using Firefox’s NoDoFollow plugin or toolbar, which can be installed easily. You have to find do-follow forums, social bookmarks, blogs and other links. No-follow sites are also potential but they cannot help you in page rankings but only traffic.

You can also perform online marketing strategies by promoting your website into hundreds of social media sites like Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. Advertising is another option, only if you have your own customized banner depends on the dimension of it. You just keep doing all of them until you get to the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing.

After months or years of hard work, your site could potentially rank first on the search results, depends on the keyword and keyphrase you used in the internet. How would you feel if you are in the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing? You could jump into your bed and celebrate with your friends for your ultimate success, or anything you want to. It’s a great blessing if you ranked on the first page, and just continue on what you’re doing.

Increase Your Sales Using Twitter

Tags: Advertising, Affiliate Marketing, Internet, Make Money, Sales, Twitter

One of the secrets is advertisers and internet marketers are quitely making money on revenue sharing programs such as Twitter. Since it’s birth in the past few years it has been extremely popular more so in the past few months since sponsored tweets have been possible. It was one of the unique social media networks we’ve ever seen which they only ask you one thing, “What are you doing?”. We can announce on every activity in every minute that we’re doing, even celebrities are very attracted to this social median. You can tweet anywhere you want to, as long as it does not violate the rules.

Because of this, more and more webmasters and affiliate marketers think of creating new tools and advertising programs for it, what a lot of us don’t know is that we can advertise our links through different platforms, only if we shorten our links like Ad.Ly, Bit.Ly, TinyURL.com, etc. There are some programs that you can actually advertise your own CPA offer or your own business with the likes of Sponsored Tweets, Be-A-Magpie, Ad.Ly, RevTwt, Hummingbird and so on.

As a result, the more followers you have, the more your CPA offer is potential to be generated as it is one of the main secrets of affiliate marketing. There are also eBooks and Twitter follower generating programs that could help you increase your followers in no time. The challenge is to convince followers when visiting our page to click on CPA offers or our own website or blog. Top bloggers like Shoemoney, John Chow, Jonathan Folk and Zac Johnson are experts at this and are making loads of money using Twitter, in the likes of advertising.

We use Twitter to drive more sales and traffic back to our own website, and it’s very useful. Not only you use it just for fun or being an idiot of posting useless things, but rather taking time to convert your Twitter time into business, and an investment to become a successful affiliate marketer.
