No Nonsense Marketing From Doug Prentice

Doug Prentice answers:

You have several Free services (that also offer a ‘paid version’ with more reporting possibilities) like for example:

http://www.statcounter.com

They explain everything on their site and even have a
‘Live Demo’.

(That’s a good one that – even in the ‘Free Version’ – also lets you make interesting stats, although I currently mainly use an other one myself.)

There you can get a little HTML-code that you can paste into your blog.

All the Best,

Internet marketing is a complicating process, but the main goal is to point viewers to your website/goods/services. Each article, reviews you write should be original work, which mean you should not be posting the same articles and reviews to other directories. You can get black listed by the search engines if you do that! How it’s supposed to work is that with an article, you tweak it. You change a few phrases, paragraphs, and change the format around to make it look like an original piece. After you make some changes, make sure to input at least two to three links that back-links to your homepage within the body of the article or within your bio box. This is IMMENSELY important because this is how you create traffic to your website/service/goods through your article. This is just one part of online marketing called “Article Marketing.” Good luck! =)

Interesting question! Common attributes to me are attraction mechanisms and capture mechanisms. In other words, attracting readership and then creating calls to action via responses and subscriptions. Attracting readership is a challenge – your online participation has to be completely oriented towards your target audience. I just started using a company called hubpot.com. They are all about internet marketing and I think they’re redefining it in a way.

You will need to do a lot of tweaking for google to index it. Header tags , Keywords, all needs to be done and backlinks as well. There is a lot to do and it can be a very successful site, but its up to you. Check out this article which will go some way towards pointing you in the right direction.

Doug Prentice answers:

Put more tags even though they’re not really related to your video

and make sure your videos are interesting, not just catering to a specific type of people.

Doug Prentice answers:

If your backlinks come from good quality (good according to Google) sites then only Google lists them and better quality links take very less time to appear I have seen Google pick up links for my site in less the 4 days. Normally, it will take about 1-2 weeks to get the effect of your backlinks. However, if you can get backlinks from high traffic pages or sites, Google normally used to visit those sites very frequently.

Google doesn’t list every backlink to your website, but Yahoo does. That’s why you think Yahoo is quicker. But I believe that Google is faster than Yahoo in indexing websites, so happened to me. If your links are listed in Yahoo, sure Google knows about them, but it may not list them. Use Social Bookmarking sites which all are high quality sites according to Google. Also when you bookmark your website with Social Bookmarking sites you will find most of them are authority sites which will get backlinks very quickly.

1. Write and submit articles . This will create traffic for years to come. Write quality unique articles, not articles that provide no substance for readers.

2. Submit ads to a high pagerank and high traffic Classified ad site such as USFreeads.

3. View related products on Amazon.com. You can try and take some customers from your competitors here by providing your own url if the product is similar.

4. Review websites in your niche on Alexa to try to take some of their traffic by including a reference back to your site.

5. Comment on other related blogs, but do not spam.

6. If you purchase a product that you actually like, then leave a testimonial. Leave your url in your testimonial and you should receive some traffic.

7. Whenever you send an email to someone, include your website url as a signature.

8. Keep updating content on your websites/blogs… try at least once per week, if not twice.

9. Tag blog posts at social bookmarking sites. Sign up to Onlywire.

10. Add pictures to your blog with appropriate keywords.

I don’t know if there exist such a software, and I believe that’s considered to be spamming. If I don’t know the answer that doesn’t mean others don’t. There is a website called Black Hat World. It’s actually a forum where you will probably find that kind of software, although maybe not for free.

First you may want to think of people you would like to affiliate with because that could be very helpful and next have a SEO (search engine optimization) done on your website so the engines pick up the key words. Thank for the site through bookmarking the site.
