		<description><![CDATA[When you hear"eBay" and "money" in the same sentence you probably think of becoming an eBay seller.

You place product listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left is your profit margin.

There is, however, another way to build a business which still revolves around eBay but which doesn’t involve you selling a single thing in the eBay marketplace.]]></description>

<p>This &#8220;other way&#8221; opportunity is based on the eBay affiliate program<br />
    and a great tool which makes entry into this opportunity not only<br />
    possible but also super easy. This tool is called &#8220;<a href="http://rjohnsen.nichestore.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Build<br />
    A Niche Store</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Now if you don’t know – an affiliate program enables you as an<br />
    individual internet entrepreneur to promote the products of a company in exchange<br />
    for a commission on all sales that you refer.</p>
<p>You are basically operating as an internet middleman and connecting internet<br />
    browsers to particular products and companies through you own network of websites<br />
    and marketing methods.</p>
<p>If we return to the eBay affiliate program, eBay actually invites you to<br />
    promote all of the product listings in the eBay marketplace and in exchange<br />
    for your efforts will pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from each<br />
    sale you refer plus up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer.</p>
<p><a href="http://affiliates.ebay.com" target="_blank">You can have a read about the eBay.com<br />
    affiliate program here</a></p>
<p>What this means is that you can earn up to three quarters of eBay’s<br />
    revenue simply for connecting people to the products listed in the eBay marketplace.</p>
<p>Not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world,<br />
    you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this<br />
    marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and<br />
    yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping<br />
    or process refunds.</p>
<p>You are no longer limited to selling only those products which you can buy<br />
    and sell for a profit margin. You can choose ANY niche market and promote<br />
    those eBay products relevant to your chosen niche outside of the eBay marketplace,<br />
    funnelling targeted traffic through to eBay and into your own affiliate commissions.</p>
<p>Golf clubs, sewing kits, laptops, dog collars, diamond rings, Florida real<br />
    estate…</p>
<p>If you know eBay you know how BIG it is – there are NO limits.</p>
<p>At this point you might be thinking - well this sounds interesting but in<br />
    reality is there any money in it? Well, here’s the shocker – eBay&#8217;s<br />
    top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month. That’s right –<br />
    8 figures a year without stocking, selling or shipping a single thing!</p>
<p>Now eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay<br />
    affiliate and build an affiliate business BUT it has been the development<br />
    of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business<br />
    opportunity.</p>
<p>The tool, as I mentioned earlier, is called &#8220;<a href="http://rjohnsen.nichestore.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Build<br />
    A Niche Store</a>&#8221; and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate<br />
    websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through<br />
    which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay. </p>
<p>Here are a couple of examples, one targeting Race Cars and the other Golf<br />
    Equipment:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.getaracecar.com" target="_blank">Race Car eBay Affiliate Website</a><br />
    <a href="http://www.thebiggolfstore.com" target="_blank">Golf eBay Affiliate Website</a></p>
<p>As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all<br />
    of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store<br />
    format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.</p>
<p>These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale<br />
    and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built<br />
    in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content<br />
    to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc.</p>
<p>Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how<br />
    the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website<br />
    targeted to the niche market of your choice.</p>
<p>Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation<br />
    for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use<br />
    the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn<br />
    mean more eBay affiliate commissions.</p>
<p>It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things<br />
    about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime<br />
    access to when you purchase the product.</p>
<p>Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk<br />
    even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate<br />
    website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside<br />
    your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access,<br />
    comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED<br />
    domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as<br />
    you want for the small one time fee.</p>
<p>Think about how many niches eBay caters to!</p>
<p>How big could your eBay affiliate business be?!</p>
<p>This product gets my full recommendation – check it out today…</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What is a backlink? What are anchor texts and why are they important? Learn how to combine the two to drive huge amounts of traffic to your site! This article is great for newbies and anyone else who is not a guru already.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.internetmarketingdigest.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/article.jpg" alt="Keyword Research " class="picleft" /></p>
<p>What is an anchor text? An anchor text is a word or phrase that acts as a link. You know, the blue highlighted words that you can click on. Usually an anchor text provides a link to useful information related to the content of the article. However, if you understand how search engines view an anchor text you can use them to your advantage.</p>
<p>An anchor text tells a search engine what a page is about. When a search engine sees an anchor text it assumes that the text is related to the page content. For example: if you write an article about growing tomatoes but you have &#8220;cow manure&#8221; as an anchor text, the search engines will think that your article is about cow manure. But if you have the words &#8220;growing tomatoes&#8221; as an anchor text then the search engines will assume your article is about growing tomatoes.</p>
<p>Savvy website or blog owners will write articles to distribute among the different article directories and thus secure lots of backlinks to their site, but not just any backlink. Thats not good enough.You want super backlinks and for that you&#8217;ll need to make wise use of anchor texts. Say, in the resource box of your article you will definitely want to use an anchor text to link back to your site. If your site is named &#8220;Growing Tomatoes&#8221; then don&#8217;t use &#8220;click here&#8221; as an anchor text! Use the name of your site. Although lining your articles with anchor texts leading back to your website is usually discouraged in writing circles it is OK to do it when the link (to your site) actually does provide relevant information directly related to the article.</p>
<p>For those of you wondering what a backlink is it&#8217;s just an incoming link to your site. So say I visit your site and I like it and I post a link from my site to your site then you&#8217;ll have a backlink from me. Backlinks from sites that are relevant to your site and are in your niche are more valuable than a link from a site that is in a totally different niche. That&#8217;s why writing articles as an expert in your niche is a great way to drive targeted traffic to your site.</p>
<p>If you are writing articles about growing tomatoes and it gets published, it&#8217;ll be published in the gardening section of whatever sites publish it, and the visitors coming to your site will naturally be interested in your niche. Targeted visitors.</p>
<p>Lets not confuse backlinks with reciprocal links. Reciprocal links are created when you trade links with a site. For instance if you and I put each others links on our sites then those are reciprocal links and they are less valuable in the eyes of the search engines. Article advertising creates backlinks and thats why everyone is so actively involved in it. It works wonders!</p>
<p>You can actually keep track of how many backlinks you have with  http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com. Simply type your url in the search bar and click explore. When your results are displayed click &#8220;inlinks&#8221;. You&#8217;ll see a display featuring all links coming into your site. As the number of backlinks increases your site ranking will increase too, especially on Google.</p>
<p>ome last tidbits here&#8230;your anchor text should be a keyword for your site, not necessarily  the name of your site (but thats usually a good idea) but a keyword. And on top of that if you enter your anchor text with the <xmp><a href=" tag" </xmp> the search engines will like it better than if your just use the handy link button. If you include the same keyword in the title of your article and also lace the content with it then you have the ingredients of the magic potion.</p>
