eCommerce SEO Tips

By Brent Sweet

According to Nielsen net ratings, every month, about half of all search engine queries are unique. This statistic, although vague and seemingly insignificant, is actually the greatest factor behind why eCommerce Soltuions fare so well in search. We interpret the statistic like this: Half of all searches cannot be predicted, the other half can be. Great. So what does that have to do with eCommerce?

The reason why eCommerce and SEO are better for each other than Forrest was for Jenny is due to the massive amount of content contained within the average eCommerce solution and that content's ability to target both predictable and unpredictable (long-tail) search phrases. eCommerce solutions have a major advantage over any other database driven site for a number of reasons.

ad

Abundant Content: Unlike a blog, article directory or content managed site, thousands of search engine friendly pages can be literally uploed and indexed by the search engines.

Easy Unique Content: A product or category page needs a few tech specs and a brief description. As long as that content is unique to the site, a webmaster can litter the search engines with products and categories. The time it would take for a blog or content managed site to reach that same level using unique content is staggering.

Targeting the Predictable & Unpredictable: Category pages can be targeted for predictable searches like "red widgets." Product pages can capture the unpredictable ones like "red widgets with tassels"(provided they contain keyword-rich descriptions). So how can you make the most of your eCommerce solution in the search engines? As promised here is a list of 25 general tips. Most Importantly:

Pick the right solution: Get an eCommerce provider that allows you to do everything we mention in this list. And hey, what do you know? Bridgeline's eCommerce Solution lets you do all of this... Crazy how that works out, no?

Onsite eCommerce Optimization Tips

Unique title tags: The content contained within should not be repeated verbatim within the site.

Put your site name after the product or category name in the title tag: Use your site to Brand, use your search engine listing to get clicks.

Unique meta data: Take the time to make your meta data (description & keywords) unique for each page. Obviously, that can be tricky if you have 10,000 skus, so try and get your developer to populate that area with the product description.

Use H1 tags: And put your keywords in them. Go to your source. Search for '

Use more than manufacturer data: If your product pages only contain the specs and descriptions that your manufacturer provides, the search engines will lump that product page together with the hundreds of other ones out there with the same specs and descriptions, meaning it won't find its way into the search engine result pages (SERPS).

Take the time to add unique copy to your product and category pages

Link to other products and categories from that copy

Use alt tags: I know. I heard too. They're useless. Use them anyway. SEO is about a conglomeration of variables, not a single supreme one.

Have a clear category tree: Search engines like that.

Use a search engine friendly navigation: Text links are best. Don't like text and want to use images? Make sure you use alt tags. Using flash or doing postbacks? Stop that!

Create an XML based sitemap and put it in Google webmaster tools

Offsite eCommerce Optimization (Link Building) Tips

Link building is incredibly difficult for eCommerce sites because no one wants to link to your drop shipping site when they can link to the real thing or Target.com. Here is what you need to know:

Build domain authority: Domain authority is basically a measure of the number of high quality sites linking to yours. The more the better. So how do you get those?

Buy them: The quickest, easiest way to get Domain authority is to buy it at Text-Link-Ads.com. Unfortunately, it ain't cheap.

Take your nique products and promote them in the online community: Get out into the online community, target some top bloggers in or around your industry and try to get them talking about your unique product. Again, this doesn't really work for drop shippers because no one is going to link to your site when there are more reputable ones out there to link to so...

Put Something On Your site worth linking to: Compile a great list of resources, make how-to videos, develop a calculator, or other custom tool. If your products aren't unique and link-friendly, you'll need some site content that is.

Submit to directories: If you go to the forums they'll tell you to submit to hundreds or thousands of directories. Don't. Those are not high quality links, they don't transmit domain authority, and they'll only waste your time... What you need to do is find lists that bloggers or independent webmasters have made. If you must, submit to the directories, but be certain they are specific to your industry.

Submit articles: Again, the forums will tell you to submit as many articles as humanly possible. What I'm telling you is this:

o Write 3-5 quality articles on topics that people are talking about in your industry (like what I'm doing here).

o Submit the articles to a bunch of article directories.

o Link to those articles from your homepage.

o Link to your homepage from those articles

o Link Sculpt: Place a nofollow tag on any link that doesn't point back to your homepage.

o Go to relevant blogs and forums where topics pertaining to those articles are being discussed, and drop links back to them.

Link exchanges: Despite popular opinion, still work... just don't go overboard.

Deep link: Meaning, repeat 1-6 for your major categories.

Buy blog reviews: Go to sponsoredreviews.com or payperpost.com and buy some reviews from RELEVANT bloggers and point them back at your category or product pages. You'll see a boost. It won't last forever, but it will leave you in better standing than you were in to begin.

Answer questions on forums: And link back to your site in the signature

Outsource to India: There are plenty of Indians looking to make a buck on forums like Digital Point. They'll generally do everything that I just mentioned from 1-10 and they'll do it for cheap

Adsense Keywords

By Peter Roberts

I don't recommend the process of chasing the keywords with Adsense and thinking that creating a site around these high paying keywords will result in high Adsense earnings.

Often, only end up disappointed - as were hundreds of publishers and has created a site on the famous "M" or the word "mesothelioma" - when it was reported that AdWords advertisers are paying $ 110 + per a click for this keyword. Therefore, websites that focus on the keyword M appeared outside the Web.

And what was the comment of AdSense publishers hoping to cash in with this high paying keywords? That can not even get more than $ 1 per click for the keyword - definitely not the $ 110 or even $ 50 per click keyword they were waiting.

Why? Because Google is smart and can smell those who seek to profit from these so called high paying keywords to a mile away. On the one hand, smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense. Nobody knows how it really works. However, it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $ 0.50/click - but its site is smartpriced - then the cost may be lower discount rates (eg $ 0.25). So you can try to develop a site based on high paying keywords smartpricing but when it reaches you, then you can not get as much per click as what is expected of your keywords.

To have success with Adsense, you will require to have a website with the right topic, the right audience, the right traffic. It is important to offer value to visitors, otherwise you can't get decent traffic to the site.

So what is the right topic:

- Track which attracts a lot of advertisers - Advertisers are competing hard to reach this audience - Public respond to ads - The public is looking for ways to spend money - His knowledge and interest in creating content for this topic

Ghosts/horror writers are not going to earn well in Adsense because advertisers are not competing to tap this audience ,few advertisers mean cheap keywords. The audience is also not looking for ways to spend money, just to be entertained.

Compare that to a camcorder review site. The audience this site attracts are those who are looking to buy a camcorder. They read the reviews from the site, and they see the ads where the camera can be purchased.

The rule is: whenever there is money to be spent, then that's the best keyword for Adsense

Of course, having a good topic is useless if you can not even write anything decent on the subject.

The Priorities For Determining A Blogging Platform

By Mike Taylor

One of the most significant choices you will make as a blogger is deciding what kind of blogging program to utilize. The right program can make blogging easy, and the wrong platform can make blogging a chore. The experience you have while blogging is dependent on which program you use.

Knowing what is happening, spending time with this will be worth it for the fact a nice platform gives you good balance between a interface and a adaptable framework which will make your blog look great and feel special. Finding the right platform isn't always simple, but with a little bit of contemplation and a little bit of study, you will be on your way to finding the perfect blogging platform.

Deciding what your priorities are in terms of ease of use versus customization. Forms of blogging such as moveable types, are a little difficult to use than automated platforms, such as wordpress. If you are new to blogs and to web technology, you might want to sacrifice the ability to create a custom background design or to incorporate a particular font into your template in order to discover a program that will be easy for you to use. But if you are a very experience web designer who knows a lot concerning HTML and java, you'll probably be frustrated with traditional user-friendly platforms.

All bloggers have different needs, so there is nothing known as the best blogging platform. Because the blogging movement is focused on self-expression, it's natural that there are a lot of different platforms out there. They are all designed to satisfy the needs of many sorts of people with different project requirements. This diversity is a good thing, because it means that you will almost be able to find a program that suits your level of technical ability.

Having different choices for a blogger can lead to the right program. When you are reading reviews of different platforms, attempt to keep your priorities in mind and do your best to take into account the position that the reviewer is coming from. Beginners bloggers have tendencies to write in limited platforms. Which platform is ideal for you will depend on what your exact goals are.

Learn How To Generate Traffic

By Darren Olander

You need to be able to generate traffic to your website, otherwise how do you expect to be able to sell your product or service? We discuss some ideas for you to generate traffic.

At first you need submit articles to Ezinearticles - if they are written well, and researched well, they rank high in Google, for that particular search term. And placing anchor text in that article's footer induces the reader to visit the website - this in turn helps you generate traffic. Ensure your participation in Yahoo! Answers and Linked In Answers, you can show your expertise, and make your name a trusted name in your niche. This will also help you generate traffic.

Remember to participate in forums; this will help you get loyal readers. Add your link to your signature, add it to all your offline content (like letterheads, pamphlets, envelopes, etc.), and if you post great quality advice and tips, you will be able to generate traffic of a decent nature. Participate in group-writing projects, find the best blogs in your niche, and contact the authors. Tell them who you are, and send them a link of their blog. This will help to generate traffic; they might even link to it.

While trying to generate traffic, you must realize that it can't happen overnight. No way. Fast solutions usually don't work, you need time to prepare. You need to take the time, and make the effort to be able to generate traffic to your site, and you know what else? You have to be smart about it. Make a plan, and follow it. Don't walk away the second you feel frustrated, or if you feel like you aren't reaping any benefits. Like everything else, this too, being able to generate traffic, too, takes time.

Write articles, ones with eye-catching headlines that are informative. Give people what they are looking for. Exchange links with other websites, keep it relevant and simple, this will also help you generate traffic. Ensure your participation on forums and other blogs, exchange you're URL, and make yourself publicly accessible. Staying aloof never did anybody any good. Also, a good tip to generate traffic on your website is to have the option "Tell A Friend" - this is a simple function that will allow your visitors to send the link to their friends or associates. Great publicity!

Also, trying Pod casting is a must. The number of people using Pod casting is much, much higher than it was a very few years ago. It's a great way to control your message, and bring it to your target audience quite quickly. You must try blogging too - this gives your target audience a face to put behind your product. There are popular blogging services like Technorati that can deliver high traffic. Also, don't forget to actively comment on other blogs related to your business.

To generate traffic, let your audience see videos - this makes you much more accessible, sells the product or service that much faster, and you know what else? There's a sense of interaction. For example, YouTube, which is a video community, is a huge source of traffic. Try to submit your website to a few web directories - you'll get back links from them - this technique works!

SEO Efficient Solutions

By Brent Sweet

Search engine optimization is considered by many the most efficient way to attract more visitors onto a website. The two major things that affect the rank of a website in the search engines are : the grade of relevancy of the content to a given search and also the number and quality of incoming links , in other words, the links from other web pages to your web page.

One of the best solution that SEO ( search engine optimization ) has to offer is article marketing. With this you provide your own articles to websites, ezines, blogs and many more for free. In return to this you will have the possibility to include a short bio and also links back to your site. Article marketing has proved its efficiency in the last few years due to the fact that by doing this, the traffic will certainly increase not to mention that the search engine rank will go up.

When it comes down to tips on how to write an article, there are several things a writer should consider; one of these things is that a good article has to be focused and easy to understand without complex sentences and phrases that can confuse the reader. A big mistake lots of writers do is that they write self-promotional articles where they promote products or all sorts of things; these types of articles are most likely to be refused by reviewers. The only place where a writer can promote a product or something else is in the author box where he has the possibility to add a link to a certain web page. Links in the body or summary are not permitted; also in the title, you mustn't have names of brands, firms, abbreviations and other similar things.

Although it is obvious, a spell check is in order every time you write an article. The best way to do it is to send the article to a couple of friends or relatives and see if they spot some grammatical mistakes. Articles with such problems are usually refused or if by any chance they are published their chances for success are minimal due to the lack of professionalism.

The most important part of the article is the resource box. This is the place where all the money comes from. It is advisable to keep things simple and clear in order to get the expected results. Many writers have the tendency to include lots of links in the resource box. By doing this, they usually decrease their chances for success because most publishers don't accept such articles. An efficient author box must include the following: name, business and last but not least a wisely thought description of the services provided.

Unlike other methods of marketing, this form of promotion has the advantage of being cost-effective and also you don't need help from a web developer, not to mention that you don't need to know HTML or other similar codes. All you need to do is follow the mentioned rules and write a well-thought article without falling in the trap of including lots of links.

All in all, article marketing is a cheap method for increasing the page rank of a web site, an ideal solution for traffic generation; all this by doing something rather easy without having to know complex internet promotion techniques.

Have the Internet Handy

By Dan H.W. Reynolds

It seems it was only yesterday that to be able to use the Internet on a go we had to take our laptops any place we went to. That's a good alternative but laptop is till rather bulky and not so convenient; as an alternative we could have taken hand-held computers or smart phones. Unfortunately they are too small to enjoy the full Internet browsing experience.

The revolutionary small laptops made the difference. They go by the name of the netbooks. A netbook is in essence a smaller laptop. But its measures are just right for the purpose - to have Internet access anywhere you want to go and still enjoy the full browsing experience.

A netbook is not the most powerful computer but it does the job. Some models include big storage to save pictures or videos from your digital camera, which is another use for these devices. They are merely the size of a purse so you can take them in any travel.

Some models are made with extra durability in mind which enables you to take them to a rough environment, such as hiking. You may not have Internet access when you go hiking, but having in mind the storage they provide, you can use them to store your pictures or video footage.

Another use for those who spend a lot of time online is the chance to quickly check your e-mail, your Facebook messages or other stuff. How often have you turned off your computer just to remember something and having to turn on the computer back again or leave it for later. A netbook boots up a lot faster and to check something when you're away from your computer is a good option.

However you use your netbook, it's a handy device. Netbooks had a lot of skeptics, but their popularity has risen to the top and is still rising. It's obvious that they are here to stay.

What is PHP Web Hosting?

By Tom Watley

The customer is always right or so the old saying goes but even in a modern environment, this rings true. For anyone looking to outsource your web hosting, the decision must be made upon the factors and issues that will matter the most to you. It makes no difference if you are looking for a hosting php reseller or a service offering free php web hosting no ads, the choice remains with the consumer and it is up to anyone to make sure they make the right choice for their specific needs. There is an abundance of cheap php hosting and php lessons available for anyone to use but not every offering of php webspace will be of use to every individual.

There are numerous options to discover the top knowledge and details on the World Wide Web and when it comes to web hosting services, the variety of knowledge becomes even larger. There desires to be a level of apprehension placed to the way that a business man or woman would analyze this knowledge as not every site or service provider would be able to provide everything that is required by the user. This can create difficulties for a business man or woman hoping to use these matters for their web hosting yet analyzing a number of different examples and judgments should assist with the selection process.

So when it comes to php webspace and php hosting, it helps to draw up a list of requirements before trying to decipher what is the best php hosting for all of your online needs. Whether it is asp php hosting or php hosting mysql requirements that are the issue, there are many free php hosting sites and services that can provide every php webhosting service that would ever be required. This service can also be extended to specific nations and regions with web hosting UK being able to provide php web hosting no ads to UK citizens as well as standard asp php web hosting facilities. Therefore, if anyone is looking to obtain free php web hosting services and the ability to have php web hosting mysql capabilities as well as accessing elements such as admin prefix, installing apache and zend studio, an acceptable shared host can ensure that this can be included in any package.

Many of these names and services may sound confusing or scary if you have no experience in them but they all provide great uses for the world of pho hosting so if this is the field that you wish to become involved in, it may be of great use to develop an understanding of what is available and what can be used.

Services like a collocation facility is definitely not a necessity for all users and the same could be said for a host asp, php hosting or even a php mysql web host facility however having the freedom to choose between these provisions makes it easier to choose of a php web hosting.

Ways to Make Money Online

By John Gilmore

Thousands of people every day try to make money online for the first time. Many of them have no idea where to start, so they just pay schemers for worthless information. In this article I will go over a couple of effective ways that you can start to make some cash online.

First method would be by using google adsense. This is a great method to make money for bloggers, especially ones that are very niche specific. What it is, you display ads on your website and they are supposed to be relevant to your content, when some one clicks on one of your ads you get paid.

There can be some good money to be made by using adsense, a lot of people do not use it right though. There are many helpful blogs out there that show you how to use it efficiently, as well as a lot of blogs that do not.

A great way for beginners to start making money online is through eBay, specifically by using a program called Build A Niche Store. It will cost you an initial investment, but if you work your sites right you will get your money back within a month.

Build a Niche Store is a script that is designed to display Ebay products on your website by using Ebay categories. So you basically pick a niche, make a website, then you put some content on your page and you populate it with products from Ebay.

The purpose of Build a Niche Store is to get people to buy from eBay. You will get a percentage of the listing fee, you will also get paid a commission if you refer a new user to sign up for eBay and they purchase something.

Selling ebooks is also a great way to make money off the internet. If you are a good writer and have valuable information to share you could write your own. If you are not the greatest writer out there you can get one already written with private label rights or master resale rights.

For the beginner I would recommend purchasing and eBook with private label rights. Once you have the eBook ready you will need a website or host, and some sort of script that will let you be able to process payments. I use the 7 dollar script, which only requires a website and a pay pal account.

These are only a couple ways that money can be made on the internet. If you are just starting out I would use affiliates. The bottom line is they all take work, and if you keep searching for that magic bullet to get rich quick, good luck on finding it.

Tremendous possibilities await those marketers who are able to leverage the proven power of email with the advances that Web 3.0 brings to relevant content, context, and timing to deliver significant improvements in business relationships.

Email 3.0 Prevails

In this age of user-created content, email hasnt lost its luster. In fact, with almost universal penetration " 97% of consumers according to Forrester Researchs Email Marketing Comes of Age " email is the most popular activity online. Email has certainly proven it can engage and move a prospect through the purchase process by delivering information that is tailored to the buyers needs. According to the Direct Marketing Association, emails ROI will surpass $45 for every dollar invested in 2008.

Exact Targets 2008 Channel Preference Survey revealed that nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said they had made a purchase because of a marketing message received through email. And Jupiter Research reports that email marketing is growing from 1.2 billion in 2007 to 2 billion in 2012.

Sure-Fire Tips That Will Keep Your PPC Campaign Going Strong

By Brian Basch

You finally got your PPC campaign going. You have your keywords and all the important synonyms and related phrases and you are ready to set up for six months. PPC campaigns need a good management plan if you want it to remain effective. So it means you should not sit back and let it run itself, it's you that has to keep everything working well.

Don't get me wrong, we all would love an easy-money solution where we just show up twice a year and collect the money. However, a PPC campaign needs appropriate management, so read on. It's important to track the activity each ad demonstrates, this is where you see just how productive it is. AdWords has tools that can calculate traffic experienced by each ad, so use them, that's what they're there for. Your web host will also provide valuable statistics, like traffic that actually led to sales.

Unproductive keyword ads are nothing more than a drain on resources, so review their progress and make changes if necessary. The same can be said for keywords that bring traffic, but don't bring sales. You'll pay for every click, even the ones that don't produce a sale for you, so discard anything that costs money but does not give a return.

You should quickly examine ineffective ads. Check the ad is put together correctly, first. Then Do a quick search and see if it's in the first five to ten pages of a search. If it's not, you need to take that ad back to the drawing board. If it is showing up on the search, see if the keyword is the issue- you might have a dud keyword!

Most people want the more popular keywords - it does make some sense to go with what's popular. But fad keywords are nonspecific and are used to start a search, not make a sale. The popular keyword is usually a last resort by people who haven't done their homework, or the first choice of a novice.

Use an advertising keyword that can attract the clicks as well as sales is what you really need. Precise and specific keywords or phrases will possibly entice someone to buy the product. Make some adjustments to your strategy by searching your own keywords and see what it is your competitors are doing. Checking other sites might give you an indication of what you need to change if your current campaign isn't as successful as you'd like.

It is important to pay close attention to your PPC campaign if you are going to succeed. By carefully overseeing your results, statistics will tell you which keywords need replacing with an effective one and, which ones are doing their jobs. Choosing the exact words that will drive your products sales skyward is important as well as bringing in traffic.

PPC Management - Magical Ads

By George Kristopher

A crucial part of succeeding in ppc management is ensuring that all of your ads are perfectly relevant to every keyword you have. "Perfectly Relevant Ads" have three very special powers that make them downright "magical". Magical ads have the power to do three things, 1) Decrease your cost per click, 2) Get far higher ad placement, 3) Attract only super targeted traffic to your site. These three powers are exactly what thousands of advertisers seek each day but are denied because their ads simply are NOT "magical". What makes ads magical?

Magical ads all have one thing in common; "Perfect Relevancy". Relevancy is when the exact keyword searched on shows up in your ad three times. For instance if someone goes to Google and searches on the keyword "Accident Attorney" then the keyword "Accident Attorney" need to show up in your ad.

That way Google see's that your ad displaying for that particular keyword is relevant to what the searcher was looking for and the searcher also sees that your ad is relevant to what he was searching for because it contains the same keyword that he typed into Google. Relevancy is the key when it comes to successful ppc management so making your ads "magical" or "magically relevant to each keyword" is crucial.

All Google ads consist of four parts; a headline, two lines of ad text, a display URL and a destination URL. Manipulation of three of these parts is crucial when it comes to making your ads magical.

As an expert in PPC management I have found that when the keyword searched on is found in three specific parts of an ad three things are going to happen: The ad will receive a lower cost per click, it will show up higher in Google and it will result in more conversion/sales (because it harvests mainly super targeted traffic). Making ads magical (100% relevant) can is a very tricky part of ppc management.

Making Your Ad Magical- Making all of your ads 100% relevant to everyone of your keywords can be very hard task in ppc management because now you have to write a specific ad for each one of your keywords! Unless you use a ppc management service like AbsolutelyDominate.com which does all of the grunt work even if you have thousands of keywords.

A perfectly relevant ad should contain the keyword in three places, once in the headline of the ad, once in the ad text, and once in the display URL. Not only will this make your ad perfectly relevant in the eyes of Google but it will also make your ad stand out among the rest because Google will automatically bold the keyword each time it is found in your ad.

Making your ads 100% relevant is a huge part of succeeding in ppc management. If you go and type in anything in Google you'll notice that 99% of the time no one know how to make their ads 100% relevant! This is one reason why making your ads perfectly relevant is so important to you. Your ad will be head and shoulders above the rest!

Help me make money online is a red hot phrase which is crunched into the search engine browsers when searching for different ways to "help me make money from home".

It's human nature to strive for success and the majority of us are willing to pay for it, but it seems to be so difficult to get started creating a passive income from the internet, without it costing us a lot of hard work and tears with little or no success.

That is until now. I typed help me make money online into my computer and after roaming around over a cup of coffee I came across a website with the same name. I liked what I read and the fact that the site was simplicity itself. I was taught to make a website and and how to upload it and have it live the very same day I was so thrilled, also because I did not have to pay anything to get this help.

Why And How To Become An Infopreneur

By Dr. Mani

Infopreneurs are the new evolving breed of entrepreneurs who visualize innovative ways to earn profits through publishing digital information. Their style of working and thinking is different from that of other entrepreneurs. For instance, infopreneurs are in charge of small teams and do not need to control huge management organizations. Unlike entrepreneurs, infopreneurs produce capital instead of raising it and earn huge profits by analyzing and satisfying market demands and needs.

An infopreneur recognizes and further develops his proficiency to earn profits by the sales of infopreneur products. These info products comprise of ebooks, special reports, books, training courses, audio recordings, tips booklets, teleseminars, video/DVD programs, seminars, workshops, workbooks, computer-based training (CBT), and so on.

To be an infopreneur, you do not need any financial capital; rather you need the intellectual capital to exploit innovative ideas and techniques. Furthermore, there is no need for employees, since you can get all the necessary information and techniques by building online contracts. Another advantage is that you can begin your infopreneurship by starting in your spare and gradually learn more about the process as you progress.

Infopreneur publishing may seem difficult in the beginning, when there is no guarantee if your book would have a successful publication. For this reason, have chats with popular authors in the industry and construct a platform for yourself. These authors are more positive about getting a good response, since they know they are already very famous among readers and people would go for their work just the way they go for popular brand names while making any purchase.

To ensure increased sales of your work, you must know how to market it. Your writing is the main source of income while selling infopreneur products and its marketing can earn you more profits. Successful infopreneur publishing can also be ensured by active participation in the publishing network and developing links with different publishers. This way, you have more scope for having your publication popularized. Finally, be relentless and do the maximum possible to get the publication done the same year or the next. Once you have efficiently developed your platform, skills, knowledge, and network, you can use the same to make your other publications successful.

Tips on How to Motivate a Team

By Bobbie McKee

In many times of your life, you will need to lead people. The opportunities to do so, moreover, will not be few and far between. For instance, in school, you needed to push people to finish their work in your laboratory or group exercises so that you did not become the last group in class to pass your work. In the workplace, you often have to tell people how to work together, and remind them of deadlines constantly so that you are not behind on your workload.

Even your weekend getaways can be times and places where you need to motivate a team. You may need to push your family to get out of bed so that you can all go to church, or so that you can all get to the party in the next town just in time. Or you may have a group of friends who aren't quite sure if they should go into business together, and you need to motivate them to start getting to work.

In other words, you will find no dearth of opportunities for you to learn how to motivate a team. With the many different personalities on the planet, it is not unlikely that the people on your team will have as many different personalities as there are members of your team. You need to not only make sure that these personalities do not clash, but push these team members to forget about their differences and produce output. Here are a few tips that you may want to consider when you start motivating your team.

- Be firm, not pushy. The biggest mistake that managers make when they try to get their teams together is to emphasize the importance of output over everything else, personalities included. This can be a great way to get the job done of course, but if you have to keep reminding people every single day about how good they are, about how they should not mind each other's quirks and idiosyncrasies, and about how they have to finish a job, then you can get sick on two different fronts. One, you can get emotionally worn out at having to keep on repeating yourself. Two, your team can simply just get sick of you.

- Be realistic with your deadlines. The day of the art of procrastination, and the myth of working best under pressure, is gone. If you are in school, then so be it, pull an all-nighter and get your work done. But if you are in the office, then you need to have some discipline. Treat your team members like adults, not slaves, and certainly not students. Don't cut too close and give them short deadlines. Two different disasters may occur. Your team can either finish on time, but you can get poorly made output; or your team doesn't finish it on time at all, and you don't get the output that you need.

- For the best results, consult with your team. Recent research in social anthropology have shown that people will work best not when they are under pressure, but when they are empowered to do things themselves. This concept of participation and engagement is gaining ground in many different fields, from management to education. Keep this in mind when you are trying to motivate your team: consult with it on what deadlines will work best, negotiate these deadlines, talk to them about work output, and give them the power to decide things on their own. If you empower people, you can motivate them easily.

- Have some rewards ready for a job well done and make sure that your team knows about these rewards.

Make Money Online: Wealthy Affiliate Scam?

By William Gary

Is it a Wealthy Affiliate scam? Make money online, maybe? It's entirely possible, as it turns out. There's a minor belief that a program like Wealthy Affiliate might be a scam, but all indications seem to indicate that's not the case. Everybody knows money can be made on the Internet from affiliate marketing. But doing it right takes time and a bit of work. Wealthy Affiliate shows you how to do it the right way.

Wealthy Affiliate is an online program and website set up to help affiliate marketers do things the right, income-generating, way. It never promises you fabulous wealth or riches, which is a departure from much of what you see on the Internet, and that's refreshing. If you follow its precepts, and pay attention, you could make a nice living, though. Within a few months you could be earning anywhere from a hundred to three hundred dollars a day, and that's honestly-earned money.

Scam websites also don't deliver tons of useful and effective training such as what's found on Wealthy Affiliate. The lively pace found in the member forum is another comforting factor. No scam site would have such a section within its site. That the advice from experienced members is freely shared is also yet another comfort.

Demonstrating its essential honesty yet again, Wealthy Advocate's creators give one-to-one training to its members. Their vast array of knowledge on effective affiliate marketing is freely given to any member who asks for it. And they offer to look over the Adwords accounts they teach you to set up, just to see if they're done correctly and effectively. No scam artists ever hang around that long.

Wealthy Affiliate takes its primary mission - the training of nascent affiliate marketing hopefuls - very seriously. It passes out knowledge on how landing pages are set up and work. It also covers things like opt-in lists, which are real marketing concepts. Also, lots of videos and training opportunities exist in the site which, which a scam site would never waste bandwidth on hosting.

About the only fault with Wealthy Affiliate seems to be that it can give a new marketing entrepreneur the desire to jump into things a bit too soon for his or her experience level. Pay attention that that doesn't happen, though, and things should be all right. If things are done correctly and as taught, it's possible to really make Wealthy Affiliate work for you.

What Does the Mother's Day Mean to You?

By Jane J.W. Adams

Every year in May we dedicate one day of the year to our beloved person - our mom. We take the time to show our appreciation and our love. On this day when we pay all our attention to her, especially if we have forgotten to do that during the year.

It's easy to forget our important people in the daily routine. We go fast to our jobs and back home and often we forget them. It is a great tradition to remember our mom at least that once in a year and let her know that we love her.

It is not our gifts that show our love but sharing our memories and emotions, paying her a visit and spending all day with her. This day has a deep meaning for her and for us as well. It is the time to renew our connection.

The presents given to her, is a symbol of our attention, but it must also show our feelings. The gift is merely a token, but it must have the intent. Some people choose not to give presents, for not to hide the meaning.

The ideal gift may be not the most expensive one but that which the person puts his heart in it. A simple little card made from old important pictures can be one that she will cherish for the rest of her life. Yet a practical and expensive gift can be quickly forgotten.

To find the best mother's day idea, look into your heart. Think about your feelings, think about the things that express them. An old little something, even if just a picture can do that.

No matter how you show your attention, remember the meaning of this day. It is to show your love and to remind your mother that you are there. Also to remind yourself that she is there, and about the everlasting connection between you two.

Adwords Management - 7 Keys to Success: Part 1

By George Kristopher

Most people advertising in Adwords today don't realize that they are losing tons of customers and leads all due to the fact that they don't know the 7 Key things they must do to set up a successful adwords campaign. If you follow these 7 key steps to setting up your adwords campaign, not only will your ad show up a lot higher in Google, but you'll also pay less per click than people advertising below you! Applying these 7 Crucial Steps will increase the amount of clicks you're getting per day and at the same time decrease the amount of money you're having to spend now!

Optimize Your Campaign For Google Are all of your keywords stuffed into one or just a few adgroups? Google hates it when campaigns are like this and determines that your campaign has 0 Relevancy! I know this strategy works, so for all of my clients I make their campaigns Super Relevant by taking each individual keyword and putting it in ad adgroup all on it's own! I know, it's days worth of work, but it reduces their click cost by an incredible amount! If you don't follow crucial step #1 you're going to be slapped! This means that Google will charge you insane amounts of money for your clicks and give your ads horrible placement.

Optimize your ads for Google The structure of your ads play a huge role in determining how much you pay per click. Just like in step #1 Google is obsessed with "Relevancy". Google's idea of a perfect ad actually has the keyword that was searched on show up twice in the ad; Once in the ad title, and once in the ad text. If Google see's that your ad displaying for the keyword, "injury attorney" actually has the keyword "injury attorney" appearing in your ad title and inyour ad text then Google is going to reward your ad for being perfectly relevant to the keyword that was searched on.

Google is going to reward you in two ways, 1) by charging you less per click and 2) by giving your ad a higher ad placement! But that's not all! Who searches on the keyword "injury attorney" will be more inclined to click on your ad because the actual keyword they searched on shows up twice in your ad! That means that by optimizing your ads you get more clicks, you spend less, AND you get higher ad placement! It's a win win situation!

You might ask, "Well how will I ever have time to write a super targeted ad like that for every keyword I have? That seems impossible!" Well, if you don't have time you should make time. My company write a super targeted ad for EVERY keyword that you have! It's a huge load of work, but we've found it's definitely worth it for our clients. Stay tuned for part 2 of this article series, on "Optimizing your site for Google and Keyword Swiping".

Has Multiple Benefits A Residual Income Business

By Francisco Rodriguez

Making money on the internet is getting more and more popular. Maybe because people are getting sick of being bossed around at their jobs or simply want a way to make some extra income for themselves and their families. No matter what the case may be, it is a ever rising industry. You may also be thinking about joining residual income business opportunities but don't know which may be right for you.

If you have a residual income business, you don't have to worry about the above. Even If you are - God forbid - sick for an extended period of time, or if you decide to take an overseas vacation for a month or so, you will still be eating the fruits of your labor. You see, you worked for one week, one month or one year, and you can reap the benefit from this work years later.

You can benefit from a residual income business even if you plan on working three hundred sixty five days a year. In a non residual income business you only earn money for the time you put in or the product you sell. However, with a residual income business you may put in time and resources now and you will still reap the benefits years later.

Let's say for instance, you're an insurance broker and you get a commission of the premium. When you convince the customer to buy the policy, you instantly earn money for the work you put in. From then on you will earn commission every time that customer pays the recurring premium fee. The same is with every residual income business; be it real estate, internet marketing business, MLM business etc.

If you have tried and can't seem to create a successful website, hire someone else to make this part of it for you. Your website is how you earn money and announcing this needs it to be a professional and easy to use for making it an effective residual income affiliate program.

If you are new to the whole residual income business opportunities scene, it may take some time to break in. But, I would suggest you begin to promote something worth while that does not charge you an arm and leg to get involved with.

How to Motivate People to Change

By Bobbie McKee

A lot of adages tell us that we cannot make people change. An old dog cannot learn new tricks, says one; a zebra cannot change its stripes, says another. But one adage does go, "There is nothing more permanent than change." How can you reconcile the fact that you can still change no matter how old you are?

Does this mean that there are ways for people to mend their ways? Thankfully, there is hope for you to be able to change people and motivate them to do better. Here are a few tips that you can take into account when you would like to take on the monumental task of convincing someone to change.

- An adage goes, "Acceptance comes before change," and this is something that is true no matter what the occasion or thing that you want changed. You cannot simply go smashing and hurtling and driving headlong into a person's life, and act as the revolutionary whirlwind that will enact change. Change must go slowly, and if it goes too fast, you can expect reversion to occur quickly as well. When starting out a friendship, accept a person's faults first. Make sure that you set the stage for that person to change because he or she wants to, not because you demanded it and that person simply feels it to be an obligation.

- Try some dolphin training. What do trainers do to motivate animals to do tricks? They reward animals for a job well done and ignore animals if they do something wrong. This actually works with people as well. You know the exhilaration when you get that raise after years of working hard, that medal after all your hard work in school, that baby after all your hours in painful labor. But you also know how painful it is to be ignored and shown indifference.

When you are pleased with someone's actions, reward that person with a smile, a compliment, even a treat at a nearby ice cream parlor, if you are so inclined. But when that same person acts badly and you want that person to change, avoid a confrontation: ignore the person instead, and let that person vent until the dust settles and he or she feels that you are ignoring him or her. Repeat until you have the results that you want.

- Be patient. Change does not happen overnight. If you want a person to change quickly, you are treading into uncertain waters. And if that person does change quickly, you are bound to be heartbroken on two fronts: first, that person could easily be changed and swayed to do anything, and you are stuck with a pushover; and second, that person could quickly revert to old times and hurt you again. You need to muster up a lot of courage and patience to have to deal with such people.

- Be gentle. You may be tempted to get mad at a friend for hurting you over and over, and you may be tempted to shout and throw a tantrum. You will only add fire to a flame, and you can risk getting yourself hurt without having any significant changes happening. Try talking calmly to your friend, and then leave it at that.

- Don't be afraid to walk away. Sometimes, leaving a person to find himself or herself can be a powerful way to make a person actually change for the better.
