Affiliates,
Choose Your Adwords
I'll have
to admit that I didn't believe all the hype about Google Adwords for the longest
time. Then I caught myself clicking on some of the Adwords ads instead of the
search results. That made me think. Five bucks. What's five bucks? Lunch at McDonalds.
I could skip that for a day. So I surfed Clickbank for a while, found something
new and really targeted, popped a few keywords in and wrote the ad.

Five
Tips To Improve Your Chances With Google
I can't
promise you gazillions, but there are a few things you should do to make it easy
for search engines to find you. I assume you have already decided to submit your
site to the major search engines and directories. I assume that you will develop
some sort of linking strategy (hopefully a better strategy than most websites
use today). I also assume you will have picked key search terms for all the pages
on your website.

In marketing
as in science there are basic principles that govern the movement of bodies in
space, or prospects and clients. Just as people instinctively know the law of
gravity, they are aware of the fundamental principles of marketing. Unlike the
law of gravity which is hard to deny, many small business owners often neglect
to apply core marketing principles to attract clients.

The
Art Of Negotiation
According
to the dictionary, to “negotiate” means “to confer with another so as to arrive
at the settlement of some matter.” Yet, it is a fact that nearly 75% of individuals
faced with having to conduct crucial negotiations do not realise success at their
negotiation efforts and rarely have a clue as to how to win more during a negotiation.
Instead, most negotiators have learned only how to push against others, criticising
and attacking rather than identifying one another’s strong points.

we must be vigilant in our efforts to do things a little differently!

These articles outline dozens of avenues to market my site, to increase my site
traffic and newsletter subscribers, to turn my site visitors into sales, to increase

goes on. Though I am very grateful for all the tips I have received; I am surprised
that none of the articles are from webmasters like myself. People who run sites
which have no direct relation to web site promotion or marketing but who can tell
me what strategy works for them and what don't in marketing their sites especially
on a tight budget. Here, I want to briefly explain what has worked for me and

Wading
Through The Search Engine Myths
There
is an abundance of search engine information available on the web- some of it
valuable, much of it contradictory. Throughout the years some prevailing search
engine myths have developed. Some of these myths are still encouraged by companies
with a financial interest in their continued existence. Others are based upon
techniques that were effective years ago but no longer work. Still others come
from simple misunderstandings that inevitably come with a relatively new medium.
What follows is a few of the most prevalent.
