Pay Per Click: Whats It All About?

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:12:00 +0000

No doubt you've heard the phrase "pay per click" before. This refers to any type of advertising where you only pay per click-through.

Traditional Web advertising, such as banner ads, charged advertisers based how many people SAW your ad. But with pay-per-click deals, you only pay for how many people actually CLICK on your ad (to get to your offer page or Web site).

This is great because essentially you only pay for RESULTS.

THE PAY-PER-CLICK SEARCH PHENOMENON

One of the most popular places pay-per-click has become a phenomenon is within search engines and Web directories. For example, let's use one of my own listings.

Go to http://www.yahoo.com/ right now and search for "ezine publishing." On the search results page, you'll see at the VERY top a section called "Sponsor Listings."

Guess who is listed up here? Yours truly! In fact, at the time I wrote this article, my book site - http://www.ezinequeen.com/tutorial/index.htm - is listed at number one.

Underneath the sponsor listings is the section called "Web Matches," which shows the regular search engine listings that are submitted and indexed the traditional way.

If you do searches for "ezine publishing" on Lycos, AltaVista, and CNET, you'll also see me in the top "Sponsor Listings."

How did I achieve this? Did I pay some search-engine-optimization guru thousands of dollars to tweak my Web site in the favor of all these search engines' algorithms?

No way! I'm on a small business budget, just like you. I achieved these listings myself, and you can too. In fact, it's ridiculously easy.

I simply opened an account with Overture and bid on the phrase "ezine publishing." Overture (http://www.overture.com) provides the "sponsor" listings at all of these sites.

Now, don't let the word "bid" scare you - it's actually a simple process. Once you have an Overture account, you can go in and see exactly who is bidding on the keywords you want, how much they are bidding, and how many clicks these keywords get each week. Then you can choose an appropriate amount to bid and estimate your budget. Some popular keywords go for several dollars, while others go for as little as 5 cents.

AIM TO LAND ONE OF THE TOP THREE SPOTS

Your goal should be to land one of the *top three* spots for your keywords at Overture, because most of the affiliate sites (such as Yahoo) ONLY show Overture's top three listings at the top of the page in that "sponsor" section, which people see FIRST. If you're number four or five in Overture, you may show up at the bottom of the search page, if at all.

Right now Overture has contracts with Yahoo, MSN, Netscape, Lycos, AltaVista, CNET, and more search sites, and they claim their listings reach more than *80 percent* of all U.S. Internet users!

EASY TO SET UP, QUICK RESULTS

I'm the first to admit that while I'm "The E-zine Queen," I'm NOT a technical person. I do none of my own Web design, programming, or computer maintenance, and I'm apt to throw money at anyone who can help me avoid technical tasks! But I found Overture easy to figure out.

It only takes them a few days to approve and post your listings. This means if you sign up today, your site can be listed for the keywords you choose by next week. And that means more TARGETED TRAFFIC to your site by next week!

THERE ARE OTHERS TOO

There are a few other popular pay-per-click services out there. Google AdWords Select (https://adwords.google.com/select) is one of them. Their service works very similarly to Overture, although your listings appear a bit differently - in little boxes alongside of the regular search listings. And your position is determined not only by your bid, but by your ad's popularity (number of clicks).

The only drawback I found with Google's service is that they absolutely will not accept any listing for a site that features a pop-up window. Even if the pop-up features content that is completely related to the site, such as for a newsletter. I hemmed and hawed to their editorial staff ... and got nowhere.

GIVE THEM A TRY!

So be sure to give pay-per-clicks a try. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad, so why not see what type of results you get?

It's important to remember that pay-per-clicks are just one tactic in your bag of online marketing tricks. Don't rely on them for all of your Web site traffic. You should still put effort into achieving regular search engine listings and gaining online exposure in other ways.

As your mother likely told you, don't put all your eggs in one basket! ; )

Google AdSense Rewards Content with Adversiting Revenue

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:11:00 +0000

If you've been looking for an easy way to increase your website's revenue, Google AdSense may be your answer.

Google AdSense is a phenomenal new advertising revenue program that is taking the Internet by storm. It was specifically designed to enable content rich sites to increase their advertising revenue simply by displaying Google AdWords ads.

Google AdSense makes selling advertising space easy, as they handle everything for you. With access to a database of 100,000 advertisers, you'll never have to worry about finding advertisers for your website again.

The concept is simple. If you have a quality site that provides content, such as articles, you may qualify to display Google AdWords text ads on your web pages. If your site is approved, you will receive a portion of the pay-per- click payment.

The great thing about Google's sophisticated advertising system is that the ads that display on your web pages are relevant to your content. They scan each page to determine what your page is about and display the ads accordingly. This will increase your click-through rate considerably, as relevant text ads combined with quality content are highly effective.

Although the AdSense program is free to apply, your site will be reviewed and must be approved in order to begin displaying the ads.

As there have been many sites turned down, you'll need to ensure your site meets Google's criteria prior to applying. You can find the guidelines at the following web address: https://www.google.com/adsense/policies

They're basically looking for quality sites offering content. The keywords here are "quality and content." If your site is under construction, loaded with advertising and/or broken images and links, don't even waste your time applying, as you won't be accepted. However, if you have a quality site and provide your visitors with content, you will most-likely be accepted.

The more content pages you have, the more advertising revenue you can make. It's really that simple. If you don't have your own content, there is a wealth of content available on Internet completely free.

Paying for Website Visitors: The Allure of PPC for Small Biz Owners

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:10:00 +0000

There are good reasons why many webmasters and website owners choose to pay for visitors to their website as opposed to the involved and often grueling method of search engine optimization. Improper SEO may not only waste time and resources, there is never a guarantee that what your site is optimized for will result in actual sales or conversions. Choosing Bid for Placement advertising can help ensure that you get what you pay for and pay as little as possible to do it.

How You Know if Pay Per Click is Right for YouThe single biggest mistake most PPC advertisers make is paying a higher amount for visitors than they can afford. Pay per click search engines are ideal to generate traffic if you already know what it costs to generate one sale or conversion. By not going over their predetermined amount, advertisers can dramatically increase the likelihood of their websites' success.

High-End Pay Per Click is Not Right For You if?There are millions of websites online but only a small percentage of these sites can benefit from the traffic that high-end PPC resources such as Google Adwords or Overture provide. When it comes to generating conversions from the top-tier of PPC's, low profit margin categories of business (members of affiliate programs for example) would do well to avoid higher priced bid for placement search engines (as bid prices are often too high) and focus on 2nd tier pay per click services or vertical portals working on a bid for placement model.

How to Choose A PPC That is Right For Your CampaignWhen choosing a PPC campaign for your website, take into account not only bid prices, but traffic volume, customer service and account management tools.

Check Bid PricesA significant mistake that novice PPC advertisers make is to jump immediately into the largest advertising networks, namely Google Adwords and Overture. While these PPC's certainly have the most extensive reach, bid prices per visitor are higher than any other network and can easily drain your account before even one visitor converts. Check bid prices before signing on anywhere and match as closely as possible to what you have determined you can pay for each website visitor.

Inquire about Customer ServiceNo thanks to their size, larger PPC's usually have much less attentive customer service (unless you are one of the larger advertisers - this means spending $10,000 a month or more). Many second tier PPC's pride themselves on their attentive customer service. Always ask your PPC company if they can help advise you before and during your campaign to ensure the highest ROI.

Investigate the "Reach"Bid for placement search engines (PPC) are simply advertising networks that help you spread your message to their users. As some PPC networks have greater access to more users, it is important to investigate the reach not only of their own network but the network size of their partners. When speaking with sales or customer representatives ask for a list of their partners.

Top Tips for Success with PPC

There have been many small business website owners who have lost their proverbial shirts with bid for placement advertising. Case study after case study has shown that the reason that most fail with PPC is a lack of understanding on how to maximize the bid for placement model to their advantage across various networks simultaneously. Here are a few tips to make the most of an online advertising campaign using a PPC methodology:

1) PPC success resides in your titles and descriptions:

Well-written titles and descriptions can make or break a PPC advertising campaign the same way they affect traditional search return listings. The most important thing to keep in mind when writing titles and descriptions is that you are not only speaking directly to the searcher, you have an obligation to explain your product or service so that it either elicits a positive response sufficient enough to motivate them to click or discourage them from clicking altogether if what you are offering is not what they are actually looking for. When writing titles and descriptions, focus on the specifics of what that user will find at your site, i.e. special deals or discounts, signup information for a newsletter, registration for an e-book, etc.

2) Use Specific Terms for Specific Pages

By bidding on specific terms related to your business and directing visitors to specific pages which represent those terms, conversion rates on this practice increase dramatically. Imagine conducting a search and finding a great title and description but then having to go through hundreds of page to locate the information. When "landing pages" are created which offer information on what the surfer originally searched for, chances are that they will take the action you want them to, whether it be signing up for a newsletter or purchasing a product. A common rule of thumb is to have no more than fifty terms per page that you are promoting on a PPC.

3) Be Passive or Aggressive, but be something.

Most PPC advertisers are either passive PPC players or aggressive marketers. The secret behind PPC marketing is that these networks' partner with other networks to display advertisers' advertisements. So the higher you bid on a PPC, the better placement you will receive on network/partner sites. Bidding in this manner makes you an aggressive PPC marketer and the advantages are many and include - more traffic and more exposure to target markets.

If a small website (or one of a low profit-margin category of business) decides that the traffic that each PPC network alone provides is sufficient, managers of the campaign must be aware of their bid amounts (overbidding or underbidding) as well as what can afford to pay for each visitor. Usually the top four positions are where most of the traffic is received from - the highest percentage of total clicks (thanks to partner networks). The number of clicks in your account will usually decrease incrementally based on your bid.

CONCLUSION: PPC advertising has proven to be a productive method of generating traffic (and more importantly) sales or conversions for many webmasters and web site owners. If you are thinking about trying your hand at pay per click, make sure to use the tips outlined in this article and ask others PPC advertisers if they have any advice!

Small PPC Search Engines Really Worth The Effort?

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 08:01:00 +0000

Are Small PPC Search Engines Really Worth The Effort?

The final answer is "Maybe."

Hey...Whadya expect? I'm an attorney!

But let me explain further. The correct answer to almost any marketing question is "to test." That's the only way you really know the true answer. But we can learn from the results that others have and adapt them to our marketing.

When it comes to PPC (pay-per-click) search engines, you know they are not all created equal. Google and Overture dominate the market. The total traffic you get from them will dwarf the total from all other PPC search engines combined.

But does that mean that there's no money in the little guys? Au Contraire. (That's the fancy French way of saying, "No." -- and I probably missspelllled it. It's been long time since my high school French class.)

Before I give you some suggestions, please realize that your results are going to vary - always.

Here's the most important point of this entire article:

Your conversion rate will vary from search engine to search engine. A lot. By as much as 300%.

You can run an advertisement on Google and get a 2% conversion ratio of visitors turning into buyers. Then, run the same advertisement on Overture and only see a 1% conversion ratio. Always...always track your promotions and results. They'll be all over the place in terms of conversion.

Does that mean you should stop the ads with the lower conversion ratio?

Absolutely not...unless you're not showing a profit. Aha. Remember, it doesn't matter that the conversion ratio varies as long as you make a profit!

Let's assume you foolishly have no backend marketing in place so the only money you ever see from a customer is on the one- time sale that has a profit of $30 per sale. And you require at least a $15 profit to you after costs. with a 1% conversion ratio, you can pay 15 cents per click and still make your numbers work. You'll get less clicks than if you bid higher, but you can still make the numbers work for you.

Of course, every PPC campaign you get set up and running profitably can be basically put on autopilot. You don't have to micro-manage the campaigns. Just let them keep on bringing in buyers.

You will generally find that the smaller PPC search engines have lower conversion rates than the big two. But they will also usually have a lower average bid.

Just track your clicks and sales so you can adjust your bids to make your numbers work. Even if a specific campaign only results in 1 more profitable sale per month - that's a sale that can keep coming in month after month after month. Do that for just 50 or 100 keyword and search engine combos... and you've got some nice extra moolah rolling in.

The Surefire Google Adwords Formula

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:58:00 +0000

Success with Google Adwords isn't quite as easy as some would have you believe. Still just about anyone who is persistent can succeed if they'll but implement a consistent testing program. Since testing can produce a nearly constant improvement in your click through rate (CTR).

Here's the surefire three-step formula that's as easy as one...two...three.

Surefire Step #1: Develop Your Initial Test Ads

Notice I said ads not ad.

You want to present two competing ideas to your market right away. Letting your prospects tell you which they prefer.

Tip: Test headlines first while keeping the body copy the same. Headlines can have a huge impact.

Tip: Set it up so Google serves up both ads equally. Otherwise Google will present the ad that's producing the most click throughs more often which will skew your test.

Surefire Step #2: Monitor Results

After 40 clicks review your results. Google displays the ads under your listings. Showing the number of clicks each ad got.

Here's early results from a campaign I tested:

High PR Reciprocal Links
Easily Get More Traffic Fast!
Access Directory of High PR Sites.
HighPRLinkClub.com
39 Clicks | 1.4% CTR |
Served - 49.5%

High PR Reciprocal Links
Boost Search Engine Ranking Fast.
High PR Links Equals More Traffic.
HighPRLinkClub.com
26 Clicks | 0.9% CTR |
Served - 50.5%

Each ad was served up half the time. Yet one outperformed the other by more than 50%. As one had a 1.4% CTR. While the other only .9% CTR. So by doing nothing more than setting up two ads I found one was clearly a winner.

In case you're wondering I have no idea why one ad worked better. And really don't care. Marketing is about "what works" not so much "why it works".

CRITICAL STEP: You've got an ad that produces clicks. Now you want to improve on that without wasting half your impressions on an idea that may or may not work. So here's the trick.

Surefire Step #3: Duplicate the winner. Add another contender.

With three ads being served up equally the winner will be presented two-thirds of the time. While the test ad will only be shown one third of the time.

From here on wait until the challenger accumulates 40 clicks before deciding if it's better or not. (Unless it's dramatically out performing the reigning winner.) If so it's the new champ. If it is, or isn't, repeat Step 3 trying another idea.

CTR Boosting Ideas to Test

Here are five known CTR boosting tactics you can test:

1. Put the target keyword in the headline. Google will bold it to draw attention to your ad.

2.? List the big benefit on the first line of text followed by the features. Does this generate more response than an ad that simply lists various features?

3. Capitalize the first letter of each word verses using all lowercase.

4. Do action inducing words like...sign up, new, right now, today, buy now, save now, apply here ...impact response?

5. Qualify by including the price.

Result? Over time you'll improve your CTR driving more traffic to your site. Making you a winner in the Adwords game.

This is why I say you don't have to be a marketing Einstein to develop Adwords ads that work. Just know a little bit about your market's hot buttons and the market will tell you the rest.

See? a surefire formula that's as easy as one...two...three.

So what you waiting for? Start testing today for more traffic tomorrow.

GamblingPays is Pot Limit Champ as he Wins $19,470 in Ladbrokes Online Poker Festival

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:58:00 +0000

Online gambling is the best way to make money on the internet. But is not easy to setup or get verify by any goverment.

Ladbrokes Poker paid out over $70,000 in prize money in their 12 th Festival event the LEOCOP Pot Limit Championship. One hundred and sixty one players competed for a first prize place of $19,470 which was won after over seven hours of play by 'GamblingPays' from Essex, UK. 'Jvsky123' from Espoo, Finland came second winning $12,655.50.

Satellites for the last four of the 16 money added online festival events which include Second Chance Plus 2, Short Handed Championship, Heads-Up Championship and the Main Event are still running on Ladbrokespoker.com, which means that players can still qualify for all including the festival finale, the Main Event for as little as $1. With a massive $250,000 added to the $1000 + $100 NL HE tournament it really is worth a try!

'Jysky123 ' and 'GamblingPays' both entered Heads-Up play evenly matched. However, the momentum of the game shifted as 'GamblingPays' hit quad 6's and with his chip lead ceased control of the match.

Shortly after 'Jysky123 ' raised pre-flop with kh-3h which, was called by 'GamblingPays'. The flop came down 8d-Jh-9h. 'GamblingPays' checked and 'Jysky123 ' duly shoved and 'GamblingPays' instantly called. 'GamblingPays' showed Ah-6h which meant he had the nut flush draw. 'Jyesky123' 20% chance of hitting never materialized as the turn revealed an As which crushed his hopes and 'GambllingPays' made top pair.

Edward Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: "The feedback from the players who have participated in our events so far has been brilliant. The festival has been our chance to showcase all that is good about Ladbrokes, European start times, great friendly community and some of the best value and well structured tournaments around. I think new players are smitten enough to play on [Ladbrokes Poker even when the festival ends and it has reaffirmed what Ladbrokes Poker is about to our regular players/community.

Oliver Kita Chocolates Announces New Holiday Chocolate Tasting Party Kit

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:54:00 +0000

Do you like chocolate? We know most people of the world really likes chocolate and this story is about chocolate.

Oliver Kita www.oliverkita.com/chocolate_tasting_kit.html
has created a gourmet Chocolate Tasting Party Kit, beautifully boxed and wrapped for the holidays. "I want people to experience the fun of chocolate tasting," said Oliver Kita, Chocolatier. The party kit, enough for four people, includes six signature boxes containing tasting samples that are all Valrhona single origin chocolates, extra samplings of single origin ganaches, and chocolate tasting score cards, all wrapped in a custom chemise tailored coral-colored gift box.

Said Kita, "The idea is to carefully sample and taste bits of chocolate, trying to determine the flavors. What do you taste first? What is the middle note? The lasting aftertaste? I provide a step-by-step guide."

Friends and family are invited to compare comments with each other. There are no right or wrong answers. "This is perfect after dinner entertainment for the holidays," added Kita.

Each of four boxes contains chocolate tasting squares from one of four different countries: Madagascar, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. There are 12 squares of chocolate, four each of three different percentages. Two additional boxes contain single origin ganaches that are to be enjoyed as part of the experience, but are not part of the The Chocolate Tasting Party Kit.

All of the chocolates in the Tasting Kit are handmade. Kita is an artisan chocolatier. And the game is his creation. He also includes his personal comments on each of the chocolate tasting squares.

The OliverKita.com website www.oliverkita/thanksgiving.html highlights other new chocolate creations, such as holiday chocolate wreaths, gourmet traveling hot chocolate, and seasonal bon bons. Kita also has Corporate Collection, Christmas Collection, plus organic www.oliverkita.com/organic.html for those who not only want the purest of chocolate and ingredients, but also chocolates that are the result of fair trade.

About Oliver Kita

VDEL Unleashes the Full Power of IBM Software on the Desktop

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:50:00 +0000

IBM Software now release the most powerful product for desktop. It's develop by a company name VDEL.

VDEL is proud to launch SoftwareUnited - a program aimed at providing a Microsoft-free platform for complete solutions by Independent Software Vendors (ISV), including IBM and Red Hat products.

VDEL created the SoftwareUnited program, based on IBM and Red Hat OEM programs, which for the first time delivers to ISVs a complete Microsoft-free platform for their applications. The driving force behind the program is DesktopUnited - a platform that includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), IBM software and VDEL applications, part of a global partnership delivering Microsoft-free desktop solutions.

Speaking from the launch and conference in Cyprus, Milan Prohaska, VDEL said, "With Vista up in smoke and Microsoft promising even a more cloudy future, almost everybody realizes it is time to change old habits and move to better desktop solutions. That is why more and more people are moving quickly to IBM Software on Linux"

"Choosing platforms such as DesktopUnited provides a more secure, open and functional desktop solution at less then half the cost of the equivalent Microsoft offering. Especially in these challenging times, it will be hard for any responsible IT manager not to at least consider such alternatives."

The first product on the DesktopUnited platform is VDEL's OpenReferent solution - a Lotus Notes and Symphony package that sits on top of RHEL - which has caused a great demand in Eastern Europe, especially with local administrations looking for secure, cost effective solutions.

'Once we realized what impressive functional benefits and enormous cost savings are provided by OpenReferent - and that it is based on IBM Lotus Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we decided to immediately start a project of revamping the entire software infrastructure in the municipality, and not only the desktops" said Mr.Constantin Zuyev, vice governor of Tver region, Russia.' We will continue to move our IT to IBM Software on Open Source in future as well since we realize the immense benefits of such platform'.

On the server side, SoftwareUnited is offering ServeUnited - Platform for Servers based on Linux and including IBM software. ServeUnited provides all required subscriptions and licenses that customers need, as well as technical support by phone or the Internet.

VDEL guarantees customers of DesktopUnited and ServeUnited that all the required licenses and subscriptions are included, plus telephone, 30 days installation support and Web support for the duration of the subscription. It reassures customers that the ISV application is part of a great price / performance solution. In addition, with all this is place, ISVs are free to concentrate on pitching their own solutions and competing in the fragmented market.

"Customers will clearly benefit from an open-standards based alternative to the desktop environment. VDEL's new initiative, based on IBM Open Collaboration Client Solution and Linux provides them with a proven way to reduce costs and break their dependency on a single vendor," said Inna Kuznetsova, Director, IBM Linux Strategy.

IBM and Red Hat have provided special contracts to VDEL for use with the SoftwareUnited program, enabling added choice in the desktop market.

On top of collaborating with VDEL on its new multilingual support center this year with special focus on desktop needs, Red Hat will also sponsor The Fedora Project for Eastern Europe to expand the local open source community.

"We're excited to offer added choice to customers in the desktop market through our collaboration on the Software United program with VDEL and IBM," said Werner Knoblich, vice president of the EMEA region at Red Hat. "The combination of IBM solutions on Red Hat Enterprise Linux will offer an affordable high-performance solution to customers looking for a reliable proprietary alternative for the desktop."

The initial focus of SoftwareUnited will be to recruit high quality ISVs as soon as possible in order to provide an offering for every vertical industry. By signing up to SoftwareUnited, ISVs will receive full development kits from VDEL that will enable them to develop applications based on the VDEL software bundle including IBM Software such as Lotus, Tivoli, Informix, and DB2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

SoftwareUnited will certify these applications and use the existing channel to promote these applications throughout the world. Supported IBM products include a range of Tivoli security, compliance and systems management software, database and data server offerings as well as Lotus Notes and Lotus Symphony.

A Guaranteed Method on Finding Hot Niches

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:08:00 +0000

Perhaps the biggest reason most internet marketers fail is because an overexposed niche is being promoted. To put it simply, you need ensure the niche you want to promote is unexploited and that there is profit to be made. In this article I will show some basic guidelines, which if adhered to will more likely result in finding hot niches. I specifically wish to highlight the specific qualities of finding hot niches for Affiliate Marketing and Adsense.

Finding Hot Niches For Affiliate Marketing

There are 3 main keys elements to finding a hot niche for Affiliate Marketing profits. They are:

1) High Demand

2) Presence Of Advertisers and

3) Low CPC (Cost Per Click).

Firstly your chosen niche should have a high demand, in that they keywords should have at least 5000 Overture monthly searches. Secondly your chosen niche should have a presence of Advertisers. By this I mean there should be advertisers already advertising on Pay-Per-Click search engines- preferably Google. Ideally you want to have less than 10 advertisers competing for the no.1 position on Google Adwords. Thirdly you need to have a low CPC for the niche you want to promote. This is obviously entirely up to the user, but less than $1.00 per click is advisable.

If your potential niche measures up to the above criteria, you more than likely have a successful Affiliate Marketing campaign in the making.

Finding Hot Niches For Adsense

There are 4 main key elements to finding a hot niche for Adsense profits. They are:

1) High Demand

2) Low Supply

3) High CPC

4) Presence Of Advertisers

Like with Affiliate marketing your chosen niche should have a high demand- in this instance keywords should have at least 10,000 Overture monthly searches. Secondly your chosen niche should have a low supply. By low supply I am referring to Google Search Results and in this instance keywords with results less than 1,000,000 are ideal. Thirdly your chosen niche should have the highest possible CPC. It is worth mentioning that the Adsense advertiser receives approximately half of the CPC every time someone clicks on their Adsense ad. Finally your chosen niche should have loads of advertisers competing for the no.1 position on Google Adwords- a minimum of 20 advertisers is ideal.

6 things to consider on finding a topic for your niche websites

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:51:00 +0000

1 FIND YOUR PASSION!
One of the first things you should ask yourself is "Am I interested in this subject?" If you are intent on building an interesting blog, it can take a good length of time and you will have to have sufficient interest in the topic to keep writing about in the long term. If you don't have the interest or passion to believe that you can still be writing about it in 12 months time then perhaps you should think about looking for another idea? It has to be something you can sustain and something you can write about with passion. If you aren't passionate, it will show. There is a lot of money in the football niche, but as it's a topic I loathe with a passion, it probably wont be worth my getting a blog about it!

What are you passionate about? Write things down, do a bit of mindmapping, freewriting or whatever but just try and find what your interests are. This all starts with you!

2 IS IT POPULAR?
Is the topic one that others are interested in? It isn't enough to have a passion unfortunately, others need to share it with you or you just won't get the readership. Its fairly crucial that others want to read about the topic as well. You have to be aware that popularity changes over time, it ebbs and flows. Who would have wanted to read about something called an iphone a couple of years ago?

3 WHAT IS THE COMPETITION.IS THERE ANY?
The internet is an increasingly cluttered market. Statistics are showing a move away from traditional advertising techniques, such as tv and radio to the internet. There is a lot of big business out there, elbowing in! Avoid falling into the trap of following what everyone else is doing. If its popular, someone has got there first! That doesn't mean looking for markets that are unpopular, its a question of balance. If you go into a really popular market, look for a fresh angle on it. Always try and be a big fish in a small pond in the words of that old cliche.

It can be healthy to have competition. It shows that there is a market there. Too much competition can make your task an uphill battle, too little and you won't have any readership! However some of the most profitable niches are built around those topics that have little or no competition if its a topic that interests enough people. Have a look at what the competition isn't doing. Look for the gaps. Research and try and find a sub niche within a niche.

4 CONTENT
This goes back to your passion.Have you enough to keep writing and finding content? Is there enough in you? Do you know where to find other sources if you find yourself drying up? Content is king and in order to have a successful blog, you have to be prepared to write on what you know and research what you don't. Keep in touch with the world out there and subscribe to newsletters,forums and link to other blogs for your content. Keep an eye on the google world as well by looking at Google news amongst others. If you can write on "whats hot" you have a better chance of getting new readers and interesting the old ones!

5 CAN YOU MAKE MONEY?
This might not be your motivation in starting a blog. If it isn't then that's fine. Many bloggers are writing just for the passion of writing about what they love and have no interest in making any money from it but if you are thinking of starting a blog and monetizing it,you have to think about where it may make some money for you. If it is a motivation in starting a blog, consider whether it is a topic that has any earning potential. Will you be thinking of getting AdSense onto your blog,what affiliate programmes are there in the niche? What about looking at Amazon.com. There are a lot of ways of monetising your blog.

6 CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
If you are really interested in starting to blog, get on and choose a topic. Don't spend months thinking about it, take action. Its unlikely that you will find the perfect answer. In reality there will be weaknesses in any approach, but if you don't get on with it make a decision and start blogging, you probably never will. Accept the inevitable, nothing is perfect. The only true answer is to get on with it, be aware of the weaknesses and work to avoid them or use them to your advantage if you can't. It is only by starting this process, that you can learn to "tweak" and learn to grow.

3 benefits of using Wordpress for making niche websites

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:48:00 +0000

Making niche sites with Wordpress is not only smart, it is easy! Wordpress is a blogging platform that is highly customizable enabling you to have a profit-pulling mini-site up fast. Best part is that there is no need to learn HTML or any other coding language. Using Wordpress is as easy as typing an email. Learning to make niche websites using Wordpress is a fast process with a much shorter 'learning curve' than many other online marketing tactics.

Main three benefits of using a Wordpress blog for your small niche sites are this:

1) Ease of use
2) Big love from the Search Engines
3) Very Search Engine 'friendly'

While Wordpress is a blogging platform, there is no reason a Wordpress site has to look like a traditional blog. Wordpress is very flexible and can be designed to look just like a traditional HTML static site. Posting your content on this form of niche website is also very easy. It truly is just like typing an email since Wordpress gives you a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text area.

The Search Engines LOVE Wordpress and content that is posted from this form of website gets indexed very quickly. The Wordpress blog platform automatically notifies the Search Engines each time you publish an article on your site. This is a definite advantage over static HTML sites!

With a few easy 'tweaks', you can make your Wordpress niche site a highly optimized site in terms of SEO. It is simple, and easy, to create unique title tags and meta attributes for each page on your site (and very easy to change them, too, if needed). You an also set up Wordpress to automatically create search engine friendly urls for each page on your website.

The 'secret' to a successful online marketing career is owning your own websites, also called 'virtual real estate'. Wordpress makes it very easy to create these profit-pulling and power-packed niche sites that will continue to bring money in long after your work is done.

What is the Best Niche To Conquer

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 08:15:00 +0000

A niche where people are likely to make only one purchase is fine, but only if you can generate the volume to support it. To make more money it is better to find a niche where people will buy the same thing repeatedly, or buy related products.

For example, a friend of mine collects sports cards. As a collector, he is not going to buy a few cards and then stop. This is a niche where people will buy the same thing over and over. On top of that, some of the cards may be very special, creating a need for special display binders. Proper storage is important for the other cards as well. But he also needs to know how much the cards are worth, and try to get an idea of their future value. Of course, to do this he has to be informed about the players on each card which leads to the purchasing of reference guides and perhaps a subscription to a few sports and/or collector's magazines. So, not only have we established a niche where people keep buying the same things (sports cards), but it is also a niche market where people are likely to buy related products.

Catering to those niches that continuously spend money is part of what will keep people coming back to your site for what you offer. But there is one more thing to consider to get people to return to your site. You need to show people that you know something about the niche if you want to be recognized as an authority that people can trust enough to potentially buy from. That is one reason why when you are starting out that choosing a niche you are interested in will help.

Once you have found a suitable niche, try to branch out from it, but in a logical way. Think about the related products or services your current niche may also like. Check out competitor's sites to see if they offer related products. Visit and read online forums related to your niche. There will often be discussions that point out ways you could logically add to your offerings.

Marketing to a niche where customers make one or two large purchases may be okay with you, and can put a large sum of money in your bank account, but only sporadically. Each payment may be bigger, but you will have to work harder to keep bringing new people in to buy from you. By finding a niche market that spends a bit here, a little there, and needs another thing, then something else to go with it, you may get smaller amounts, but in volume. While you will still want to seek out new customers, you will be generating income from current customers at the same time.

Find a Niche Using The New Google Tool

noreply@blogger.com (IM Offers) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 08:08:00 +0000

Let's begin with the end in mind: "Success in any business always comes back to supplying a product that the public has a demand for and that the market has room for. Find the right niche and you are on the right path."

What does niche marketing mean? Niche marketing is about finding small opportunities on the web, small areas in which people might be interested and for which they might be searching.

Big companies and experienced webmasters are not interested in these areas because they are not important enough. But a small business could be something in which you might be interested.

Perhaps a small mini website will not generate thousands of dollars every month; it might generate 100 bucks, for example. That is ok, if the effort involved in terms of creating this mini niche website is not too high; in this way, you could repeat the same business model again and again.

Taking into consideration that every small business could generate around $100 every month, with ten niches, you could earn $1.000 monthly. Does this sound better? And what if you could create 50 websites?

The first step in to finding a niche market is always keyword research. You need to find small markets which do not have competition. This is not as difficult as you might be led to believe.

Google has just released an exciting tool to do keyword research. It will probably be the only tool you need to find a niche. And best of all you pay "zero dollars" for it. That's right... You pay nothing. Thank you Google! You have made our lives a lot less complicated.

Google search data is something we've all wanted to see for years, but had to contend with less accurate proxies such as Wordtracker and the Overture (Yahoo Search Marketing) keyword suggestion tool.

Google's keyword tool (new and improved) service makes it easy to gauge an existing market simply by looking to see how many keyword searches are being conducted for your target product or service. It now finally shows actual numbers rather than just the relative search volume.!
