How to Attract Affiliates To Your Internet Marketing Program

Gary — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:05:56 +0000

If you want to rely on others to help market your website and increase sales, an affiliate program is a way to go. An affiliate program is the perfect partnership, as everyone involved makes money. Depending on your business or what you sell, you provide affiliates with coded links or banners or sales page templates. Their website visitors click on the links. If a sale is made, you make money, but so does your affiliate. Once again, this is literally the perfect partnership.

Although it is relatively easy to find affiliates for your program, as most consider affiliate programs an easy way to make money, there is some work required on your part. There are thousands of affiliate programs online. You need to sell yourself; convince your readers that your program is the best there is. How can do you do this? What steps can you take?

Making your affiliate program website easy to find. Whether you are handling your own affiliate program or letting a third-party hosting company do it, make sure all interested applicants can find your website. Use the internet to market. Post links on work-at-home forums, home based job listing websites, online classified ads, and so forth. The first step in getting affiliates for your program is to get them to your website. Next, comes to selling part. How do you get your readers to join your affiliate program?

By going into detail. Never assume that all want-to-be home-based workers know what affiliate programs are. Right away, people will see that you only earn a percentage from each sale. Those unfamiliar with affiliate programs will automatically assume the opportunity is a scam, but it isn’t. Provide as much detail as possible. Explain how the process works, how money is made, the steps affiliates need to take to make money, and go into great detail describing the product, service, or company affiliates will be promoting.

By having support available and making it known. State you or another company representative will be available to take complaints, questions, and suggestions via phone or email. Assure your applicants that they will not be left alone to make money. You will help get them stated by provided detailed step-by-step guides and additional support. After all, you benefit from their success as a paid affiliate too.

By having testimonials. This includes for both the affiliate program and the company as a whole. Get testimonials from current affiliates stating it easy to and fun to make money. Next, people want to know they are promoting a good product, service, or company. Have testimonials from customers. For example, if you sell handmade baby clothes ask a parent to review their recent purchase. Most will do so anyways, but consider giving all reviewers a moneysaving coupon for their next purchase. Not only do you get a solid review, but a repeat customer!

By having a good commission rate. There are thousands of affiliate programs online. Many choose an affiliate program based on the product, service, or company. They want to stand behind something they can believe in. On the other hand, most are focused just on money. They want to earn the most. A high commission rate is likely to attract customers, but always consider your bottom line. Everyone needs to get paid, all expenses must be account for and you still need to turn a profit.

By making it easy to get payment. Affiliate programs have varying payouts. Some make their affiliates wait until they reach $100 and others get paid at only $10. Whichever you choose, make sure your affiliates don’t have to wait long. It may take new affiliates 6 months or more to earn $100. Yes, it will get easier and quicker overtime, but they may not stick around long enough to see.

In short, you need to sell yourself. You are already selling products or services online, but you need to sell yourself again. You need to convince all visitors to your affiliate program website that your program is the best way to make money online and from home. Use the above mentioned tips to do so.

Creating Successful Advertisements

Gary — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:22:39 +0000

Many small businesses don’t get the success they want from advertising due to the availability of very little resources. These results are due to a lack of good ideas for improvements. Whether the ads are put in a local newspaper or are printed in a famous periodical or posted on a website, the money invested should gain the desired outcome. There are some common mistakes small businesses and professional service providers do when designing and posting the advertisement, which leads to the failure of the advertisement.

Bigger is better is believed in by many. That’s exactly what some of the small firms think when they want to advertise their product. They think bigger and select sites where they must invest a lot of money, but do not reach their targeted market. Like if a company specializes in designing diet plans and wants to help out people who had disappointing results from their individual diet plans, and the company chooses to advertise on a marketing website instead of running the advertisement on a health site, obviously not many of the dieters will notice the advertisement and the ad doesn’t get the desired attention.

So the point is to come up with the best campaign, which will increase the probability of the ad getting viewed by the right customers and persuade them to buy the product or sign up for the service you are providing. Marketing research can be carried out on your niche and your target audience can be narrowed down. Once getting the list of websites meant for the customers you are targeting, find out how many visitors they have and the cost they ask for posting the ad. Special deals are offered by them from time to time and can only be found by watchful eye.

It is estimated that everyday people are subjected to around three thousand commercial advertisements. That is a huge number and if someone desires to be noticed, he should certainly be different. Not only the services and product sold should be unique in the market, so should be the advertisement. For example, if a business selling mattresses says, “We sell mattresses”, it will not make a statement and will be passed off as any other mattress advertisement. But if they say, “Our mattresses are of the finest quality”, it will make the advertisement stand out in the crowd. Other catch lines are “Are you suffering from back pain? Then you must try our mattresses ”, are more specific and will catch the fancy of the people who are suffering from back pain for a long time. The advertisement should also focus on the uniqueness of the product and how it is better compared to a competitors’ product.

Focusing on the problems of the customers and giving a solution for them, is what a customer demands. A customer does not buy a product; he buys benefits in the form of a product. The real value of the product should be realized and a clear picture of it should be presented to the customer so he will be able to relate his situation to the product. If the advertisement doesn’t specify the solution it can provide, the customers will never know of it. So focusing on the customers problem is what some advertisements miss.

The last thing missing in most of the advertisement is motivation for the customers. If the advertiser has designed the ad and the customer has read the it, all efforts and the money invested will be wasted if he doesn’t get up and do something about it. It shouldn’t be assumed that the customer knows what to do; instead the advertisement should influence the mind of the customer and should tell him what to do. A call of action is the final job of the advertisement. It should be a call for information (by subscribing to your mailing list), or visiting your website to learn more or even visiting the online store directly to make their purchase. Your message should sound confident and be clear as to what steps the reader should take next.

Using Quality Content To Build Your List

Gary — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:05:53 +0000

Getting customers to your site should always be ranked as high as the importance of the quality and the excellence of the product and the services you provide. They should go hand in hand in providing your customers the satisfaction they get in exchange for the money they have paid you for them. Customer service should also be fantastic so that the customers are provided with the same satisfaction.

One of the ways you can combine marketing and customer service is through opt-in marketing. With an opt-in list you get the opportunity to introduce your site and products on a good time basis. Opt-in marketing strategy is a marketing strategy that is virtually low cost and not time consuming. Here, you get the consent of your website visitors to subscribe to your newsletters and other promotional materials such as your products, free promotions and affiliate items.

Opt-in marketing uses your list of subscribers to send e-mail to. These e-mails will contain the materials you will send to your subscribers. It is essential that you present your promotional items in a manner that will catch the interest and the eye of your subscribers to keep them wanting for more. The best way to do this is to provide fun, entertaining and informative articles.

Well written articles full of content and useful information will help in building your list as more subscribers will be enticed to opt-in to your list. When they have read the samples of your content on your sites, they will be intrigued as to what will come next. Subscribing to your newsletter will offer them a better look of what you have to offer.

Many sites and companies have captured the importance of articles and this also aids in search engine optimization. As more people are heading towards the internet for their information needs, serving the right information to them via articles in your site will increase the flow of your website traffic. With more traffic, the percentage of your sales will grow. More sales turn into more profit.

There has been a rise for well written, informative and keyword packed articles for the content of their site as well as for newsletters. These articles provide the information many are seeking on the internet. If your site has them, more people will be coming to your site for information and research.

Well written articles will also boost your sites reputation. If they are filled with useful information you will be regarded as well informed and an expert on the subjects in your niche. Your articles must be well researched so that the people will trust you. When you have gained their trust, they will come to you for their needs on that subject.

In connection, you must write articles or commission them to tackle subjects that are closely connected with your niche. In example, if you have a site for a medicine tackling a certain disease, your articles must be about that disease. Or if you sell materials for home improvements, provide articles with those themes. Most articles searched for are tips, guidelines, methods, manuals and such. If you provide these articles to your customers and you have their trust, they will return to your site for help and advice as well as for your products.

With the loyalty of these customers, they may subscribe to your opt-in list to receive the information you have. If you provide them with the answers they need, they will be happy to receive your newsletters as well as other promotional materials to keep them well informed. Others may even forward your newsletters to other people when they find a certain article interesting.

You should provide links in your newsletter so that when other people are reading it and want more, they may click on the link and go to your site. With the quality, informative articles you have on your site, they may decide to sign up as well for your opt-in list. This will build your list and make it bigger.

Make sure to keep your subscribers happy and interested in your newsletters and promotional materials. Keep on posting and writing good articles for your site and newsletter. If you are not interested in writing them or if you just don’t have the time, there are many available well experienced and knowledgeable writers available to help you out. This is an investment that will pay for itself over time.

7 Ways to Make Money With Your Opt-in List

Gary — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 05:03:50 +0000

An opt-in list can be quite crucial to any site or internet based company. Even for a small venture such as a niche profit site an opt-in list can make a world of difference and also add some extra income for your pocket. Rarely would you see an e-commerce site, big or small, that is without an opt-in list.

An opt-in list allows for a company to market their wares and site via an e-mail. With an opt-in list, a site and a subscriber consents to sending and receiving a newsletter from your company. Through this, you can keep your subscribers abreast of what is currently available in your site as well as whatever is coming out.

And because there is mutual consent between the two parties, any mail sent to the list is not considered as spam mail. There is a great number of successfully read promotional materials such as catalogs, newsletters and such that are sent because the subscribers themselves have signed up for them, meaning, they do want to be sent those items.

Building a list is crucial, only a small percentage actually subscribes for an opt-in list. Many people find promotional mails annoying but of you provide a good newsletter or promotional material, you will see your list build up and grow. You can also achieve this by having good content on your site. If people like what they see and read on your site, then they surely would want more. Newsletters would be a way to attract them back to your site. A little teaser or appetizer if you will.

But other than marketing your wares and your services, an opt-in list can also be used to earn extra profit. Not all lists can be used though. It would be good to first build a successful list with a huge number of subscribers. The more subscribers you have, the more money you can get. Here are seven ways to make money using nothing more than your list.

1) Place advertisements. There are many corporations who will be willing to pay to put their banners and ads on a list with many subscribers. Selling or renting out lists is not a good idea so rather than doing that, many companies would just rather place ads with lists that have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter could be placed with many ads and each one spells money.

2) Have affiliations with other companies that have at least a semblance or relation to what your site is about. Here other companies will provide links and brief descriptions of what they offer, products and services. With every click made on the link that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to their site, the company will pay you. This P4P or pay for performance.

3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of sales done through your list. With every sale done by customers that have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter, the other company will pay you a small percentage of your sales. The more people who buys from them, the more earnings you get.

4) You may also get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell them to your list via your newsletter. Place descriptions, articles and photos of the product in your newsletter. There will be those who will buy from you and when that happens, you can order the product from the other site and sell it to your buyer.

5) Sell e-books or a compilation of your articles on your list. Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand. Many people will be willing to shell out money to gain knowledge about a certain topic and subject. With your existing list trusting your expertise in that area, an e-book could be offered and sold or used as an incentive.

6) Create a network out of your list. Get people to invite more people to view your site and subscribe to your list. The larger your list is, the more people will be able to click on your links and affiliate links as well as make your advertisement rates higher.

7) Subscribers are willing to pay for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon. Use your list to get more and more people to subscribe to you as well as browse your site. Lastly, you can use your list to earn money by making them your partners. Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and increase.

Post Content to RedGage for PR4 Backlinks and More

Gary — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:06:14 +0000

Redgage is a site that allows you to upload your content like many other sites out there… But, there is a difference. Redgage pays you for your content. Even if you weren’t getting paid for your content the site gives “do follow” links back to your other sites to help in your search engine rankings.

You can upload photos, videos, articles and documents to Redgage. You can also start your own blog on the site. If you had numerous niche sites that all fit into a much broader niche, you could start a blog in that broad niche and send a PR 4 (and quickly rising) back link to each of those sites or individual articles or pages from those sites.

How does Redgage pay? The amount you earn from posting on Redgage is determined by the quality of the content and how many visitors your content receives. You can also receive bonuses for having your content featured on the front page. They also have a daily raffle that you can win $25 dollars from. Submit content, invite friends and do other activities to get more entries into the raffle.

When you reach $25 in your account, Redgage will send you a Visa debit card with your payment. After the initial payment, all other money is added directly to your card, so its quick and easy.

Redgage is also a social network. It is important to make and add friends to your Redgage list and visit their content so they will, in turn, visit yours. Try to find peope to add that are interested in the niche that you are adding content about. You can view their content to learn or formulate ideas for your own content. They will also view your uploads for the same reason. If they are targeted to your niche and you are adding good content, then you will also get clicks back to your main site.

It should go without saying that backlinks are an important part of search engine optimization and page rank building. The more sites that link into your site the more important that the search engines (especially Google) believes it is. You can build backlinks by commenting on blogs, but most of them are “no follow” links, which Google does not recognize as a true backlink. Links from your Redgage content are all “do follow” and it is a PR 4 site, making it a good quality backlink.

You can add tags to your Redgage content, but be careful. Using spammy tagging tactics will get your content removed. Be sure that your tags match the content that you post. Don’t add tags just because they rank high in search engines if they do not relate to your upload.

Redgage is an excellent way to add PR 4 “do follow” backlinks to your sites while also making a little cash from that content. The backlinks should add more targeted traffic to your main site, which will increase your revenues there, as well. So check out Redgage (no affiliate link, just the site) and grab your slice of the pie before someone nabs it first!

What Do Your Customers Want?

Gary — Mon, 31 May 2010 23:27:18 +0000

One of the easiest ways to find out what your subscribers need is to simply ask them. You can do this in several different ways. Surveys (my favorite), blog comments and emails can all be used to elicit responses from your subscribers.

If you have a blog, you can simply ask them to leave a comment on their most pressing need in your niche. You can also add in one of the many survey plugins that are available for WordPress and get your answers there… See my Twitter survey in the column to the right.

You can also have your subscribers send you an email with their needs. If you are really wanting to get in touch with them on a personal level, this may be the most effective way to do it. Some will have a problem with sending you a personal email, but others will look on this as the ultimate in relationship building… You gave them your personal email address!

I personally like to do surveys. You can ask questions with limited answers or a completely open reply where they can spell out their needs in their own words. Many people will use sites like Survey Monkey or Vizu to handle this for them, but there is another simple way that I like even more… and its free.

If you have a gmail account (and you really should if you are a marketer), you can log into your Google account and go toGoogle docs and create a survey that you can email to people, embed on your website or blog, or send a link to your subscribers that takes them to the survey page.

The results are tabulated and given to you in a spreadsheet that you can check on at any time just by logging into your Google account. Here’s a video from Youtube that shows how simple it is.

Crucial List Building Tips

Gary — Sun, 16 May 2010 21:54:18 +0000

Online marketing may have developed a sudden surge these past few years, but many insiders have felt its rise from the beginning. As more internet based businesses are started, the need to develop new marketing skills and knowledge based on the constant changing technology of the internet have arisen. More and more marketing strategies are being discovered and developed to cope with the changing face of the online business world.

The demand for online marketing tips and strategies has drastically grown, creating a market all its own. While there are gurus and companies that are all too eager to help your site and business build a clientele for a fee, there also many ways that can spread the word about your sites worth in a more cost effective way. One of these is opt-in email marketing, also known as permission marketing.

Opt-in marketing requires the permission of a willing customer, who subscribes to your mailing list, to receie marketing materials that take form in newsletters, catalogs and promotional mailings via e-mail. The more opt-in marketing mail that is sent, the more chances there are to make a sale. To do this, you must build a list of those who want or need the information and products that you supply in your niche.

From your list you will get targeted customers. Having targeted customers on your list is preferable since they already have shown interest in the niche you are working in. These are the people who have liked what they have seen on your site and have decided they want to see more and maybe even purchase whatever product or service your company and/or site has to offer.

Many people would think that building their lists would take hard work and a lot of time to build. This is not so, it takes a bit of patience and some strategies but in building a mailing list, you open your site and your business to a whole new world of targeted buyers. Take the effort to take your business to the next level. If an increase in targeted traffic and sales are what you want, an opt-in list will do wonders for your site.

There are many sources and articles on the internet available for everyone to read and follow in building a list. Sometimes they may be confusing because there are so many different methods and ideas put forth. Different groups of people will have different approaches in building an opt-in list, but no matter how diverse the many methods are, there are always some crucial things to do when building your list.

1) Put up a good web form on the front page of your site. The upper right hand column is a good spot for it. While some may say this is too soon to ask for a website visitors subscription, try to remember that your homepage should provide a quick good impression. It should showcase what the site and your company are about.

A good web form for subscribing to an opt-in list is not hard to do. Using a service like Aweber takes the labor out of designing your opt-in form. Give them a reason (free gift, keep updated, etc) and a clear call to action (limited time offer, etc) to sign up for your mailing list while on the page.

2) As mentioned in the first tip, make your homepage very impressive. You need to have well written articles and descriptions of your site. Depending on what your site is all about, you need to capture your website visitor’s interest. Make your site useful and very easy to use. Do not expect everyone to be tech savvy. Invest in having good programming on your site so that its easy to navigate. Build a clean site with good looking graphics… Eye appeal can be just as important as content.

Don’t waste your time making the homepage too overly large megabyte wise. Not all people have dedicated T1 connections, the faster your site loads into yheir browser, the better. Go for a look that borders between simplicity and sophisticated knowledge. You can have the best content in the world, but if the site doesn’t look professional, it may never get read.

3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is more likely to bring you more business. A satisfied customer will recommend a business to friends and family. Word of mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business than an expensive ad campaign. As your customer base grows, so will your list. With more members on the list, the more people will get to know about what you have new to offer and the more sales you will make.

4) Keep a clean and private list. Never lose the trust your customers have entrusted you. If you provide your list e-mails to others and your subscribers get spammed, many will unsubscribe. Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and subscribers as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers. And don’t forget the occasional freebie goes a long way in keeping your subscribers happy.

Build a List of Eager Subscribers

Gary — Fri, 14 May 2010 08:41:56 +0000

Every online business provides great service to generate satisfaction among their customers. As each and every customer receives satisfaction over their products or the services they get, there is a great chance that they will become a return customer and buy again. Better yet, they will recommend you to other people that could generate more business for you and your site.

As more traffic is driven to your site, you can entice many of them to subscribe to your mailing list or opt-in list. This is a list where website visitors agree to be sent promotional materials such as newsletters, catalogs and such that could keep them updated about your site or the niche of your site. These promotional materials are sent via e-mail to the members of the list in different time intervals.

When using e-mail as the media of your marketing and advertisements, you eliminate the need for high costs. Email is free and if you can manage to make your own promotional advertisements you can also save a bundle there. With an opt-in subscribers list, you are pretty sure that what you are sending out is received, viewed and read by the subscribers and not simply being deleted. They have signed up for service and have consented in receiving it.

This means that there are constant reminders to your subscribers about all your products, new products and services as well as any promotions and special deals you are having. There is also the chance that they can be forwarded to other potential customers as they tell their friends and families about you and your site.

Of course you should be also aware that a subscriber may unsubscribe when they feel that they are not getting what they want or expected. Make sure that they are satisfied with your opt-in marketing strategies and keep them excited in receiving your newsletters and catalogs. Here are some tips that can help you build a list of eager subscribers.

Make your promotional materials interesting and fun. Try to use a little creativity but not too over artsy. Build around what your product or service is about. For example; if you are selling car parts, put some pictures of what is new in the auto parts world, a new wing door possibly that can fit any car and make it look like a Lamborghini.

Try to research what people are looking for, these way, you stay one step ahead of them all the time and you will be their bearer of new tidings. They will be eager to receive what you are sending them because they new you always have fresh and new things to share with them.

Write good articles that can be very informational but light at the same time. If your subscribers enjoy your articles, they will go to your site by clicking the links that you will be putting on your newsletter to read some more. You can provide articles that can connect to many people. Be diverse in your articles. Put something humorous, then put something informational, then put something that has both.

Are you wary about this because you don’t like writing? No problem, there are many professional and experienced article writers that can do the job for you for minimal fees. They know what they are doing and can provide the need that you have for your newsletters, the money that you pay for your articles are going to be met by the many sign-ups and the potential profit from the sales that you will get.

Create and send an E-book to your customers about anything that is related to your business or site. Use your knowledge and expertise in the field you have chosen to help other people who are similarly interested. Offer this e-book for free. You can write about anything informational and helpful to your subscribers. For example; you can do manuals and guides in so many things. This e-book could be used as a reference for many people.

Share this e-book with everyone, even other sites; just make sure that they don’t change the links in the e-book that will lead people to your site. If you want, you can always get some people to write it for you just like your articles. Your investment once again will be covered by the great marketing this will generate.

Add e-coupons in your newsletters that will help them avail to special discounts. Put a control number in your e-coupon so that they can only be used once. When people get discounts that can be found in your newsletters, they will be eager to receive your newsletter in anticipation of what you are promoting next.

If your subscribers can get benefits from your newsletters, they will be very eager to receive them. Just don’t flood your mailing list with mails so that you don’t annoy your subscribers.

Why Build a List?

Gary — Wed, 05 May 2010 00:16:28 +0000

Okay… Today I was checking out this new traffic site where your sites are viewed and commented on by other people. They call it social browsing… Pretty cool site for testing ads, but I’ll get back to that in a bit. Anyhow, you can look at all of the comments people left about your page and get feedback as to how effective your message is.

I had submitted a squeeze page for a free copy of my Viral Traffic Automator submitter software. One of the comments left was: “Why do they always want your email address?”… WTH? Okay, if you have to ask why someone would want your email addy in exchange for a free product you are either a newbie or you have been living under a rock somewhere, because if you are not building a list yourself: You are going to fail in this business!

You may be able to make a little money, but sooner or later all of that surfing, ad posting, solo mailing, etc gets old. Using free traffic sites are okay, but use them to build a list. Then use that list to sell your products or send your offers to. Most people on those sites will never take the time to read your long sales letter or watch your video. So, give them something of value in exchange for them subscribing to your list, instead.

With a good list, you never need to surf for credits or post ads or send solos. If you have a product to sell, you just log into your autoresponder account and send the offer to your list! They are there because you have given them something of value in the past and if you are offering something in the same niche, they should be interested… Right?

A list gives you the ultimate targeted traffic. You have people who want to hear from you. They trust your opinions (at least they should). They decided beforehand to let you send them offers in your niche when they subscribed.

My most important thing that I try to do on a daily basis is build my marketing list. Its more important than creating a new product or website. Its more important than the latest JV offer. Why? Because with that list, I have a targeted audience to sell my product or pitch some other’s that I am working as an affiliate for!

Frank Kern said in one of his videos that your list is the most important source of traffic that you can have. Better than SEO, PPC, exchanges, whatever. SEO is fickle because the search engines are always changing the rules. PPC can be cost prohibitive in a competitive niche. Exchanges do not provide targeted traffic. Your list is highly targeted and full of eager participants in your niche!

About exchanges… I’m not saying to not use them. I still run ads on click exchanges, safelists and text ad exchanges. They are highly untargeted and most of the people there are just viewing your site so that others will view theirs. So why would I use them? Because my list is my number one priority and I have added over 500 targeted subscribers to my lists in a 30 day period just using free exchanges. Wouldn’t you like an extra 6000 subscribers per year?

If your ads are short and to the point with a good call to action, you can attract subscribers… Even using the traffic exchanges. That is why I checked out Sweeva today.

Like I said earlier, Sweeva is a bit different than your standard click exchange. People actually stay on the site and look at your ad and give you feedback on it. If your ad is positively received with this highly untargeted audience, just think how well it will do with targeted traffic. I would recommend you checking it out, just to use as a site to test your ads on… If you’re testing squeeze pages, you will probably add some subscribers as well.

There are many more aspects to it that keep people glued to your page, but its too much to go into right here. You can sign up for free and then they have a nice info page that comes up and explains how it works when you log in for the first time so be sure to read it closely. There is also at least one video in the members area to explain the bidding process used to get your site viewed. It should be a worthwile tool in your bag of tricks.

So get out there and build your list… Whatever advertising methods you choose to use… Always be building your list.

Copywriting for the Web

Gary — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:03:59 +0000

Within this article on Web copywriting, we will look at copywriting in general and how to succeed in this particular niche of copywriting. Copywriting is a growing field but some of the greatest growth is coming in the niche of Web copywriting.

There is a great deal of demand for Web copywriting today as more and more people realize the importance of good web content. This is critical for two reasons and explains why there is such a demand for Web copywriting.

The first reason is that there are more than 4 billion web pages out there according to Google and this number continues to grow by leaps and bounds every day.
