Demi Moore Bush Pic

It may come to haunt Demi...supposedly a photo of Demi Moore's Bush is the hottest search term on the internet today. Amazing how the things we do as a youth come back to haunt us when we become respectable adults. I saw the pic of Demi Moore Bush and it looks a little photo-shopped to me.

But it brings me to the power of keywords and the power to trends. Finding out what is hot, what is a hot trend can bring you a lot of traffic. Demi Moore Bush is the number two searched for topic on Google trends today. And this picture of Demi Moore Bush supposedly came out in the 80s.


I guess Demi Moore Bush is pretty hot compared to Megan Fox. They say you should put a pretty picture of a woman or half naked woman on your blog to get traffic. Okay, so here goes, here is the picture...you know you want to see it.

But this is just a cheap attempt to get traffic. Nothing really to say today.

Affiliate Traffic Explained - A Simple Guide

This is an article to give you a simple guide on how to get affiliate traffic as an affiliate marketer. It’s also my answer to one of our members’ question below:

“I have been trying to do internet marketing for some client but I have not succeeded. This is by being sales representative of this company and I be paid for every customer who sign up and pay. My problem is that I don’t know how to go about it. Please help me and show me how to do it.” - Susan

Hi Susan, what you’re doing is just a form of affiliate marketing.

In your case, your probably have a personal arrangement with your client instead of through an affiliate network such as ClickBank. But the idea of getting affiliate traffic is essentially the same.

Successful affiliates either own the customers (usually because they already have a high traffic website) or they know where to find the customers (usually through search engines or online advertising).

Understanding this fact, your job of finding affiliate traffic is now simplified.

Either…

1) you build niche websites to attract targeted traffic for the product you’re promoting, or

2) you get traffic through search engine optimization and online advertisements such as Adwords.

Each of these is a huge topic by itself. My job is to point you to the right direction. You have to find out the details. (More details can be found in LeadsLeap blog.)

1) Build your niche websites

As an affiliate, your long term goal is to ‘own’ the traffic. You don’t want to keep advertising and sent traffic to your affiliated site.

When I say ‘own’ the traffic, what I mean is creating your own content website, service website or blog, and building your own list.

Yes, it’s much harder than simply posting an advertisement and making a commission straight away. But it’s a business that can potentially grow exponentially and provide you with a nice passive income in the long run.

Building your own niche empire requires long term commitment from you. It’s not a quick fix. But it’s important.

If you want a quick fix, read on……

2) Advertise

Let’s say you are helping your client to sell an apartment in Denver. You can do some keyword research and post some Adwords ads to get potential buyers.

For low competitive keywords, you can leverage on Web 2.0 sites to get top ranking in the natural search results. This will save you some money.

You may also want to advertise in various online and offline property directories.

For some products, you can also generate affiliate traffic through article marketing, a.k.a. bum marketing.

As I said in my previous blog post, the key is to find targeted affiliate traffic.

Final words….

Last but not least, I want to instill into you the idea of passive and fresh traffic. Passive traffic are regular traffic to your website. They can be people on your list or your blog patrons. Fresh traffic are new traffic from advertising, search engines or other means.

You must make it a goal to create a system that builds both passive and fresh traffic. This will give you long term success as an affiliate marketer. Once your system is up and running, you will not have to worry about affiliate traffic all the time.

Writing Title, Keyword And Description Tag For SEO

“I would like to ask a question about SEO. How do you write proper title, keyword, description tag for a website. Can you provide some examples of how to write a proper one?” - Kelvin Tan

Hi Kelvin,

There are two considerations in writing those tags. The first one is the SEO aspect and the second one is the marketing aspect. I’ll cover both of them in this reply.

1) The technical aspect of writing SEO friendly title, keyword and description tags

For the beginners, let me show you where to find the title, keyword and description tags in a typical html code.

Title tag -
Keyword tag -
Description tag -

Search engines now place little importance to keyword and description tag. But as a good practice, it’s always good to include the keyword phrase in the keyword and description tags.

For example, if I’m trying to optimize a page for “debt reduction strategies”, my keyword and description tags will be as follow:

Keyword tag -
Description tag -

Technically speaking, you can put any ‘meat’ to fill the rest of the description tag. For me, I simply use the first sentence of my article as the description tag, since the first sentence of my article will always consist of the keyword phrase (another good SEO practice).

In SEO, what is more important is the title tag.

Technically, your title tag should try to meet the following requirements:

i) Your title tag must have the ‘exact’ keyword phrase in it.

I don’t have to explain this one, do I?

ii) Your title tag should preferably be as short as possible.

There is such a thing called keyword dilution in SEO. It means if there are too many words in your title, the importance of your main keyword phrase will be ‘diluted’ in the eyes of the search engines. So try to keep your title short.

To illustrate, if my keyword phrase is “debt reduction strategies”, some examples of a good title include

- Debt Reduction Strategies
- 7 Debt Reduction Strategies
- Pitfalls and Traps of Debt Reduction Strategies
- Creative Debt Reduction Strategies

I didn’t think of these titles. These are the top 4 titles returned by Google search.

2) The marketing aspect of writing the title tag

Your title tag is very important, not only for SEO but also for human.

Why?

Because when someone does a search, he/she will first see the title in the search result.

Therefore, when writing a title, besides making sure that it fulfills the SEO requirements, you also have to do your best to write something that can entice people to click.

This is the marketing aspect of writing a good title tag, something that is hard to teach my freelance writers.

Notes On Description Tag

Search engines will show your description tag as the description in the search result. (Thanks to our member Proson for pointing this out.)

This means if you want to perfect a page, you should try to write something enticing in your description tag as well.

For me, I usually don’t bother. I only make sure that the exact keyword phrase is present in the description tag. That will be enough for SEO purpose.

8 Ways To Twitter Power

Twitter is quickly becoming the micro-blogging tool of choice by social network users. You can tweet from your laptop, desktop or mobile smartphone. Its a convenient, easy fun method of answering the question, "What are you doing?"

I first got caught up with Twitter about 11 months ago. A friend of mine suggested it to me, and I must admit, I wasn't that impressed with it at first. It seemed to be a mindless question that couldn't possibly generate additional conversation.

But, that was before I really began to understand the genesis of the question. Its not just about "what are you doing," but more what interesting is going on in the world around you and how are you interacting with those things. That's where conversations are borne and grow.

Twitter is communication with individuals who want to engage with your thoughts or you with their thoughts. Having a lot of followers is perceived as having Twitter Power.

Since Twitter Power is something you want and may not have, here are 8 ways to get more Twitter Power:

1. Engage in conversations with people. Don't just offer mindless banter, tweet stuff that makes sense and show a slice of your personality.
2. Read other twitterers tweets (try saying that 10 times real fast!)-- learn from the best, and mimic their behavior and not their content. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, learn from the successful wheels already in place.
3. Use an awesome desktop application like TweetDeck. Some say that TweetDeck is the most powerful Twitter applications available. Think of it as Twitter pimped out and on steroids. Click here for a great tutorial on using TweetDeck to its full capacity.
4. Recently I stumbled upon Mr. Tweet. Mr. Tweet is a fine Twitter tool that recommends followers to you, who you should be following relevant to your profile information and who is following you. Mr. Tweet will generally recommend 237 new followers per week that are relevant to your niche. Check it out here.
5. Another good tool to use if Mr. Tweet intimidates you, is Twhirl. Twhirl also allows you to post pics using Twitpic as well as you can search retweets within to determine what is resonating with your followers. What is on their minds. This is a free Firefox add-on.
6. If you are into add-ons, then just install the Firefox TwitterBar add-on and post tweets directily from your address search bar. You can tweet and surf just as you would use the StumbleUpon toolbar. A quick and easy way to post tweets.
7. I also use Twitpic and post photos from my mobile phone. Suppose I'm out somewhere and I see something absolutely fabulous? I can use Twitpic to post to my phone in a matter of seconds.
   
8. Integrate your web life with Twitter. If you intend to make Twitter a prominent piece of your internet marketing agenda, then you should place Twitter follow links on your page. It makes sense, and is a great way to passively gain more Twitter followers.

How To Make Money With Facebook 35-54

In the last post, I talked about grabbing a portion of Facebook users to market to. I also told you which was the fastest growing demographic segment on Facebook. Using that knowledge, let's look at some products that might appeal to the 35-54 year old demographic that is comprised of 57% women and 42% men.

Looking at the way a 35-54 year old would be living; has a home, could be renting in today's economy or owns the home and may be struggling to pay the bills that the family resides in. The paycheck today does not do what it once did. Medical bills seem to be increasing, and it becomes a struggle sometimes to pay all the bills on time.

Some are still working, others are seeking options to change careers. This demographic is on Facebook reconnecting with old friends, former co-workers, families and networking. It's the new way to meet people who may further business or personal relationships, and Facebook is providing this service.

Loaded with this valuable marketing information, you should be able to put a product or service that will appeal to this target audience on Facebook. I came up with this product for that age segment. (see the banner below) Tell me what you think of my product. Will I hit the target 35-54 audience with this offer and convert well, or will or sink? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

Facebook Is Growing Up

Facebook is changing. It's very true it's a growing social network. Marketers have caught on to that growth and many are scrambling looking for ways to monetize a portion of its 220 million users. Here's a tip, there is one demographic that has grown more than any other on Facebook and continues at phenomenal leaps. You'd never guess which one it is.

According to the latest Facebook demographics statistics, the 35-54 age group has accelerated to a 276.4% growth over the past six months. But, it gets better. That demo is doubling every two months.

Here is some more astonishing news. The 55+ age demographic on Facebook is also seeing some awesome growth rates. That age group is clocking in with a 194.3% growth in presence on the social networking site.

These aren't just numbers, ladies and gentlemen. Marketers know that these figures tell a story. A story that reveals where target markets are. So, Facebook represents an 'older' niche audience. An audience that is moderate to advanced internet savvy. I would say this audience is not going to respond well to ringtone offers.

The 21+ demo is still very well represented on Facebook. If your niche involves marketing alcohol related products on Facebook, the latest figures report there are 27,912,480 users 21+, and 66.3% of them represent all users. There are so many 21+ on Facebook, that its being predicted by experts that this demo will reach critical mass by the end of the first quarter.

Oh, and so you know, alcohol marketers are doing pretty well in this recessionary economy, so don't laugh.

Another nice thing about this report is that it reveals local demo statistics for Facebook users and breaks that down by age and gender. Take for instance Facebook users in Miami, Florida are the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States at a 88.5% growth rate. Atlanta is the slowest, coming in at 6.4%--sounds like a marketing opportunity to me.

Women outnumber men on Facebook 55.7% to 42.2%. Six months ago, the college demographic (18-24) held a 53.8% share of the Facebook crowd. Now, that number shrunk to 40.8%. The assumption could be made that the college crowd doesn't want to hang out with their parents (35-54)--the burgeoning new demo.

Making Money Online Changes Focus

To easily receive updates on new articles subscribe to Home Business Success today.

I am miserable because I have limited internet access. That being said, my time online has diminished, and for all of you who have been trying to contact me, I apologize for not getting back to you in a timely manner.

Well, Happy Belated New Year! If you are a fellow blogger reading this, then a new year means excitement for opportunity. It just seems that all of the things I began blogging about in 2007 became a reality in 2008.

Mainly, Home Business Success (HBS) is a blog about ways to make money online and the tools I use to do it. Of course, being able to work from home 7 days a week while my affiliate programs make money from me, did not happen overnight. Actually, I've been doing internet marketing wrong since 1999.

For me, it was more than an urban legend, making money online. I had experienced limited success with a couple of products, and I was hooked. I knew I could make money online and become independently wealthy if only I knew how. Knowing how, learning to make money online became my passion.

So, I studied, read, researched and kept up with the changing trends in internet marketing. Including search engine marketing and social networking. As a result of social networking, I discovered CPA networks and met someone who taught me how to make a legitimate home based business income using CPA networks. My first affiliate check from a CPA network arrived at my house on the 15th of September.

It was from Market Leverage. I was excited to open it because Market Leverage uses FedEx, and it's like receiving a gift from Santa when the FedEx truck pulls up to my house. After getting my first check, I was determined I wanted more, I wanted my earnings to increase.

In focusing on making money, I also started this blog in August 2008. My goals were niche minded, make money online (MMO) with very little paid advertising posts. I've kept my focus and on January 1st, Google rewarded Home Business Success with a PR2! For me, that's wonderful growth of a baby blog. However, from what I've read, PR ain't what it used to be, relationship building is where its at...

My focus for 2009 will be about relationships. I am friends with so many people in different niche social networks, I sometimes wish there was a way to combine all of my friends from each network and gather them in one central location. That would be so efficient.

Another focus I'll concentrate on this year is email marketing. Right now I'm using safelists as my training module. I've upgraded on a very responsive one (according to the weekly safelists report) and have a Business Opportunity campaign running. As soon as I see some results I'll share them with you.



Making money online is about learning, and keeping up with the latest trends and information about the industry. You must spend as much time learning about what you are doing, as you do creating, and writing for your blog. Writing blog posts is just one part of blogging; actually it's a small part. The big part is promoting and marketing your accomplishments.

Online Backup Is A Great Resource If You've Ever Lost Your Files

To easily receive updates on new articles subscribe to Home Business Success today.

Have you ever lost your files? Maybe you accidentally deleted your blog...I did once. And when it happened, I wanted to take my monitor and toss it out the window. But, I didn't. Instead, I grabbed a bottle of wine, had a long drink (actually the entire bottle) and went to the casino to work out some frustrations on the machines.

Here is a survey, let me know, have you ever lost your files?

Listen First, Talk Later

I just hung up on a very rude caller. Let me tell you the whole story.

A couple of weeks ago, as a favor to a fellow marketer, I had requested information on a traffic building offer. The company (whose name I have easily forgotten) sounded legitimate, so I agreed to let them call me.

Well, about midway through the phone call, I realized this traffic building company couldn't do anything for me. Home Business Success is doing fine all by its lonesome, primarily due to my social networking efforts, entrecard and link building.

I explained to Joseph (the name he gave me) that I had invested just $10 for a domain name, none on traffic, and had begun to make a sizable income just by blogging.

He wouldn't listen.

Instead he kept trying to over talk me on my phone...the nerve!

The point I'm trying to make is, if you are a salesman, do that, but listen to your client. How can you determine their needs if you don't know what they are? Listening is a great skill, one that many have not acquired yet. It was clear that Joseph, did not have any listening skills.

See, he could have sold me, he had my attention, I had taken a break from working, he didn't know how to take advantage of a golden opportunity.

Remember in grade school when teachers would say "silence is golden?" Well, it's true.

Listen to your clients/readers first. Then react. It makes for smoother, reciprocal communicating.

Free Blog Home Income Tricks

To easily receive updates on new articles subscribe to Home Business Success today.

For the past year I've been trying to discover some free blog home income tricks. You know the kind, the ones that will show me how to increase my blog traffic, thereby generate revenue.

Well because it took me six months to get it through my thick head that if I did the same things over and over successfully, then yes I would be able to generate an income from my blog.

Doing things like commenting on good blog posts, you make friends this way. Keep in mind, that just because you leave a comment for someone, doesn't obligate them to leave a comment for you. You should comment because you have something to offer to the conversation. Not because you expect one back.

Utilizing StumbleUpon by stumbling and checking out friends' sites. Many times friends on StumbleUpon will share sites that I've never seen before and are unique. Just letting your friends know this also creates friendships.

As you can see, the more friends you have, your popularity will increase. And quite frankly, popularity on the internet is what will bring traffic and income. These are free tricks that can put you on the path to blog incomes.

If you haven't added Google Custom Search to your blog, then you're missing out on income from your Adsense account. Keep in mind people are on the internet for information, and your blog should be an additional portal for that.

I've Been Making Changes

Before we head too deep into October, I wanted to share some information with you.

I've been so busy trying to get everything together in preparation for my move, that I haven't had time to bring you up to date with the changes at Home Business Success.

Sometime in between packing rubbermaid containers, I purchased www.webmoneysuccess.com domain name for this blog yesterday. I've really been pleased with the support I'm receiving, thank you very much.

And for all who tried to leave comments and couldn't, I fixed that too--hence another change.

I didn't even know the comment thingy wasn't working. When I made the changes to make this a dofollow blog, I didn't realize I had wiped the code out for the comment button. I kept wondering why no one was saying anything. I thought I was shouting to an empty room...but my traffic kept increasing. Things that make you say HMMMM...

So now it's working and I don't mind if you blow it up with substantive, conversational words. ;)

I hope you'll bare with me while I make this move--thanks!
