I'm running a bit late for the 4th part of this series of dynamite money making blog posts so I appologise if you'd already been online and missed me! At least you'll have maybe 2 posts to read tommorrow! Anyway, let's start eh?

What I'm about to share with everyone is a step by step method how article marketing has worked for me, and I hope it can benefit everyone. If you don't implement it, maybe it can give you some new ideas of your own.

This is my opinion on how to get the most traffic from an article.

Okay - this method is assuming you submit all of your articles to EZA, with a good title, good article content, and a good resource box.

**************************************************

1st Step: Open up Word Pad - or whatever you like to use. The program you use must be easy to copy and paste that is really the only requirement.

* Type out the keywords you are going to target in your article and separate them with commas. -- press enter a few times
* Create your title --- then press enter a few times.
* Create your article summary --- press enter a few times
* TYPE THE ARTICLE ---- and press enter a few more times.
* Then of course type up your resource box.

Each part of writing an article is equally important do not neglect anything. Once you are done SAVE YOUR ARTICLE TO YOUR COMPUTER.

**************************************************

2nd Step: Submit your article to EZA. (ezinearticles.com) This should be easy because you just saved it to your computer. (The reason for pressing enter a few times between the different parts of the article was to help you stay organized.)

**************************************************

3rd Step: Wait one week - my favorite step for my method to market an article

*************************************************

4th Step: After that week has passed you are going to do some more with that article. Go back to your original article which you saved on your computer and copy your resource box. Then yes you guessed it press enter a few more times and paste it below the original one.

You are going to make some slight changes - on this resource box make one of the links point to your approved EZA article, and let the other still point to your webpage. Once you have completed this...

************************************************** *

5th Step: Submit your article with your new resource box (the one with one link pointing to your EZA article and the other pointed to the site that you are trying to promote) to the following 10 sites:

1. Go Articles (goarticles.com)
2. Articles Base (articlesbase.com)
3. Search Warp (searchwarp.com)
4. Article Dashboard (articledashboard.com)
5. Buzzle (buzzle.com)
6. Article Alley (articlealley.com)
7. Amazines (amazines.com)
8. Isnare (isnare.com)
9. Article City (articlecity.com)
10. Hot Article Directory (pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/index.html)

*************************************************

Wrap up: Ok I know what you are thinking submitting your article to all these sites is going to be time consuming... Really it is not too bad once you have your username and password to all of these sites.

You have everything at your fingertips because your article is saved to your computer!

The traffic that ends up going to your EZA article and ultimately the website you are trying to promote grows exponentially and it is definitly going to be worth your time. I wish good fortune to everyone marketing online and I hope everyone has success.

Tune in again tommorrow for the 5th installment of this week long huge dynamite guide that i've serialized.

Using Youtube for video marketing!

Did you know that YouTube.com is more popular then every single TV networks sites combined, traffic wise? Well that is the case, and that in itself should show you how valuable Youtube, as well as other internet video sites are in a marketters playbook. The Top Videos on Youtube have been watched over 50,000,000 (Yes 50 million!) times. The top videos of the day often get over 1,000,000 views in just 1 day. Imagine the marketing potential here by just having a the url of your site show at the end of your video. How can you add your url to virtually any video as well as other forms of text quickly and easily? Simply check out the free service at http://www.bubbleply.com .

YouTube has been responsible for launching careers, such as that of YouTuber "Brookers" who was hired by Hollywood celebrity Carson Daly because of her cool videos. YouTube has also brought fame to previously unknown bands such as the "Sick Puppies," a band that became popular because a video called "Free Hugs" was set to the Sick Puppies song "All The Same." This just goes to show you the power that a catchy video can have on the creators life.

Anyone can simply create a home video, cartoon, music video, or anything else they are good at, upload it to YouTube.com and have it spread like a good virus throughout the world. The trick is to be creative, make a video that stands out of the fields of thousands of videos uploaded each day on YouTube.com. Once you have a catchy video, either mention the website you are trying to promote at the end of the video, use the website somehow in your video, or have the url display at the bottom of the video, or at the end. Statistics we have acquired show that a very surprising 8% of people who watch a video and see a url at the end will type that url into their browser to check it out. Think if you were one of the people who had your video viewed over 50,000,000 times. That would have directly been responsible for over 4,000,000 visits to the site you are promoting. Can you think of any better way to get that many possibly visitors to your site free of charge? Our research has shown that a black screen with your url in white text at the very end of the video and very beginning of the video gets the best response.

It is also important to note that once a video becomes known on Youtube, an starts generating buzz, the video will quickly become viral and spread throughout hundreds of video sites, blogs, and possibly even major media like Television. YouTube has basically become the hub for all word of mouth advertising.

How to make your video standout and catch viewers attention, as well as direct traffic to the site you are promoting:

1. Clearly demonstrate the product you’re marketing or have a link to the website you wish to promote.

2. Focus on something fun, something that people will want to share with friends.

3. Do something shocking, say something controversial, or show off a unique skill.

4. Make sure the video 100% is real; no tricks, no “smoke and mirrors.” YouTubers can tell a fake from a mile away.

5. Take advantage of YouTube tags; use adjectives to target people searching based on mood; and match your title and description to the tags.

6. Try different things. If you see that one technique gets a ton of viewers then do it again but improve upon it.

7. Don't stop at YouTube.com. Upload your videos at the various other video sites like, Metacafe, http://vume.com, MySpace, and Revver Video Sharing Network.

8. Add a link to the YouTube Video to Digg.com, as well as Netscape.com, and other social bookmarking sites.

9. Homemade Videos are just fine. You don’t need to hire a professional. A homemade quality video can work great. But plan ahead and shoot several takes to get it right before submitting the final cut.

10. Keep your video under 2 minutes. Many times people don;t feel like watching a 10 minute video. If they don't watch it, they won't be sharing it with friends.

11. Make your description an eye catcher. To best promote your video, you'll want its text description on YouTube to be accurate and interesting. Use key words, and make it interesting.

12. Get to know how to make a video, add music, sound effects, and at least give the viewers a pleasant experience. We recommend checking out this great site for help: Digital Video Freeware, Tutorials and Instructional Videos with Daily Updates. Also another great website that allows you to edit your videos online is Jumpcut - Be good to your video.

13. Tell everyone you know about the video you created, linking them to the video on YouTube itself. With any luck they will also tell their friends.

14. Be totally lame, but "on purpose," and with a surprise punchline. People love surprises.

15. Be completely original. Do something funny, crazy, stupid or just amazing that no one has done before, and that will grab viewers and make them want to show it to all their friends.

16. Have your friends view your video on YouTube, rank it, and then post a comment. This gives other YouTube users the heads-up that the an awesome video has hit the internet. It might also tip off the elusive YouTube editors that a buzz is being born and that they could feature it on the homepage. Also Have your friends register on YouTube and mark your video as a favorite.

17. Encourage users to subscribe to your video series. This is a great way to get added exposure by getting repeat viewers to your various creations.

18. As pathetic as it may seem, leave your video positive comments. People see them and at least won't not watch it.

19. Encourage viewer participation and support. For example "Leave a video feedback", or “make your own video like ours.”

Like we said above, you need to try different thing. More than likely your first video will not be a smash hit, however with every new video you make, you will get more of a following, and learn what people do an do not like. Not only can you get thousands of free website visitors, but who knows you could also become famous.

Social Media Traffic Domino Effect Strategy

Here's the third part in this week long series of golden money making ideas, traffic building etc. Don't forget to come back tommorrow for part 4 will you?!

Social Media Traffic Domino Effect Strategy - Digg, StumbleUpon, Propeller, etc

This is a strategy I learned after much trial and error submitting blog posts to the various social linking sites such as Digg.com, Propeller.com, Del.icio.us, Stumbleupon.com, mixx.com, Sphinn.com and the other various sites like them.

The idea behind this strategy is to harness the traffic from the smaller Social linking sites such as Sphinn.com, Mixx.com, and care2.com to drive people to Digg, Stumble, Del.icio.us, and Propell your sites at the larger Social Linking sites that have potential of sending tens of thousands of uniques to your blog post in just a couple days.

The Strategy

So you write blog post, and want to get started. As you may or may not know, most of the users at the smaller Social Media sites also use the larger social media sites.

1 - Start off by placing widgets at the bottom of your blog post for 2 to 3 of the following: Del.icio.us, Digg.com, Propeller.com and StumbleUpon.com. These are the larger social media sites. Don't list your blog at these media sites just yet

2 - Next, submit your blog post to the lesser known, less used social media sites. The more sites you submit to the better, but make sure you submit them all as quickly together as you can. Here are some of the better lesser knowns:

Sphinn: News, Discussion Forums & Networking For Search & Internet Marketing Professionals
Mixx - Latest news and top videos and photos from around the web
Care2 - largest online community for healthy and green living, human rights and animal welfare.
http://plugim.com
Searchles | Home
plime.comopular links
http://sk-rt.com


3 - This is a big tricky. You can try timing this different ways, but I would recommend right after submitting to these lesser know sites submit to the mainstream social media sites that you chose to add widgets to for users to quickly bookmark/vote at.

Why This Works

The reason for all this is that the faster a blog post or site is dugg, propelled, etc the higher it ranks, meaning more votes and more traffic. The smaller social media sites will send you between 20-500 uniques usually. The people who visit your site from these smaller social sites will then read your blog, and at the bottom see the widgets for their other favorite larger social media sites such as Digg, and Propeller, and thus vote for your post there as well. This in turn will help you become popular at the mainstream media sites potentially sending you tens of thousands of uniques in a matter of a couple days.

Please test this strategy out, as differ timing mechanisms and different topics you blog about can play a significant role in the way everything plays out.

How to get your link on the 1st 2 pages of google for FREE!

Google indexes pages based on traffic flow, page rank, backlinks, and a myriad of other things. I have found that traffic flow is the number one factor to google, in other words if a website gets a shit ton of traffic then its probably important.

I did some research with this information in mind, and discovered that Yahoo is the number one site in the world traffic wise. Billions of people visit yahoo everyday, more than google. This all can be verified at alexa.com.

Okay, so how did I use this information. I started trying to get my links on yahoo, which turned out to be pretty easy and only took me about 20 minutes to discover. Still, its not being used by people which is a shame because google will index my yahoo stuff within 48 minutes like clockwork- and I am always on page 1 or 2 of google depending on how I structure my keyword content.

So heres how I did it;

Step 1- Register a yahoo email account, and create an avatar for it. (Important to create the avatar for credibility reasons).

Step 2- Go to Yahoo Answers, and post a question that is keyword rich BUT still sounds real. Yahoo people will delete it if you just pack it full of keywords, so dont be stupid. Heres an example I use;

Question Title: No prescription viagra? where can I buy no prescription viagra?

Question Details: Can you buy no prescription viagra on the internet? I get tons of spam for it, but I dont even know if no prescription viagra is legal. I wouldn't buy the viagra without a prescription from a spammer anyway, but the thought did cross my mind. Has anyone ever bought viagra online without a prior prescription? Can anyone tell me a safe place to buy no prescription viagra? I dont want to spend a ton of money, but I know viagra isnt cheap- is no prescription viagra the same price as when its prescribed?

Obviously my keyword is "no prescription viagra". Post the question, and wait 48 minutes for google to index the page.

Step 3- Once you see your page in google serps 1-2, go back to yahoo and register another email account. Remember to create the avatar again, my CTR is much higher when I have one. Make sure you register this email from a proxy because yahoo deletes questions that are asked and answered by the same IP.

Step 4- Answer your own question with a real sound answer, and include a link to your website in the "source" section. Heres another example;

Oh dude I know what you mean. I buy viagra online with no prescription, and its not "terrifying" like people will lead you to believe. Check out www.removedmylinks.com, they are the ONLY website selling BRAND NAME Viagra with NO PRESCRIPTION, and take credit cards.

Also, email satisfaction@removedmylinks.com and youll get a discount code for 10 bucks off.

Source(s):
http://www.removedmylinks.com

Thats it, your all done. Not only is this giving you a great backlink with a high PR, but youll hold top google placement for about two weeks before you sink to page 2.

Its important to know that if the keyword your using is abundant in the serps, then you need to create an original headline so google notices its different. If you want to do viagra, use "no prescription viagra online? is it for real or a scam?".

Make it LONG, google will still pickup your keyword "no prescription viagra" and place you high. What google WONT do is place 10 websites with the same exact title on the first page. Also please note that because Yahoo answers is a 'NoFollow' site you won't get link juice in Google but if you're high up in the rankings for long tailed keywords then with the affiliates offers etc you could make a small fortune"
Here's 2 lists containing social bookmarking sites and LOADS DoFollow blogs, both have the Google pagerank the sites have at the end of each link, these should keep you all busy for a while!

Quick Strategy to Explode Your Traffic On a Daily Basis

Here you go, as promised, part 2 of this little series on making your sites work.

Following the Traffic - Quick Strategy to Explode your Traffic On a Daily Basis

I was reading a piece written by Willie Crawford about finding what people are interested in and jumping onto that bandwagon. I then realized this fit perfectly into a strategy many of the emerging internet entrepreneurs had been using. What you must do as an internet entrepreneur is to constantly change your approach. New niches emerge every day, and old niches become much more popular overnight. It is your job to find these trend setters before everyone else, as well as market in the right place:

This short guide is about "knowing where to pick up your traffic for nearly any niche".

What you need to do is find out where your niche is being discussed and quickly figure out how to get your link placed in that area, often times free. Here are 4 quick ways to find where your traffic is and quickly capitalize on it:

1. Google Alerts - http://www.google.com/alerts
Google Alerts can be one of your most valuable tools. Just goto the url above and enter your niches keyword(s). Every time a new website, blog, video or news story about your niche is indexed in Google, you will instantly be notified with a link to the given page, via email. If the page is a blog, video, or news story, then you can usually instantly add a back link from that page by commenting on it. Make sure in your comment you post something of interest, don't just post a link. At the end of your interesting comment, just put your name and then the url of your website. This will get you a really really good targeted, one way link back to your site, and possibly even pass along PR. Do this for every single Alert you get, if possible. You will quickly begin being looked at as an authority site in your niche

2. Google Trends - http://www.google.com/trends
Use Google trends to explore the popular topics of the hour. Googles trends will show you which keyword(s) are being searched for the most in the last hour. If you are a blog author, and see a topic that is related to your blog, you can quickly create a blog entry for those keywords, and likely capitalize on the search traffic. If you take it a step further, register a domain name for those keywords, and create a site around them. Take this approach online if you think the topic will be popular for weeks to come.

3. Scowl Digg.com, and propeller.com for Newly Popular stories related to your Niche
Once you find one, you can take advantage of this opportunity in 2 ways. First you quickly leave a Digg.com and Propeller comment at at both sites, like we suggested you do in Idea #1, with a link to your site. I recently commented on a story on Digg that just became popular. I gave my opinion of the story and then a link to my site. I had 140 unique visitors click that link in the first hour of posting it. The second way to take advantage of this situation is to follow the digg story to the page that it links to, and leave a comment as well on that page, if it allows it.

4. Search Google News, Yahoo News, and Drudge.com for stories in your niche. When you find one, see if the news page allows comments. If they do, then follow the tips we offer in Idea #1

Basically the point here is, figuring out where the traffic currently is for your niche, by using the tools provided about, then put your website in the middle of that traffic.

Only a shorty today, plenty more to come though and the next one is tommorrow so pop back then!
