Harvest Keywords in Your Sleep And Make Big Money

Keywords are essential for all aspects of online marketing.

  • If you’re a blogger, you want to optimize your post titles and/or categories to include keywords so you can be found easily.
  • If you’re an affiliate marketer, the optimal keywords will help you target your paid ad to a searcher’s preferences.
  • If you’re an Internet surfer, type the right keywords into the search engine will ensure that you will find relevant information.
  • If you’re a product creator, you might like to create niche websites based around high value keywords.

A whole industry has sprung up around providing these keywords.

You have expensive software, with costs running into the hundreds as a norm, rather than an exception.

You have web-based services providing keywords for a monthly subscription.

But how would you like to harvest keywords in your sleep? Continue reading

Taiwan Earthquake Rocks Internet Marketing World

Here’s the bad news.

A 7.1 Richter Scale earthquake hit southern Taiwan yesterday, injuring 42 people and killing 2.

The Taiwan weather bureau says aftershocks of 5.0 magnitude are expected within a week.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Taiwan, especially since the earthquake might trigger a regional tsunami to the neighouring countries.

Even though Singapore is a couple of thousand miles away, we were spared either.

A number of submarine data cables were damaged, disrupting Internet access. [At this time, google, gmail, clickbank and my email accounts are inacessible].

The fact that I have DSL and cable modem connections to 2 different Internet Service Providers hasn’t helped either. Taiwan is one of the major Internet gateways between Asia and the rest of the world.

Although Internet connectivity has been rerouted to other connections, I believe the ISPs are metering the available bandwidth. Sites are loading up slowly and though HTTP access is available to some sites, email isn’t readily accessible.

This means I can’t access email sent to me via the contact form.

If you need to get me, you can insert a comment Continue reading

ProBlogger Writing Project Entries Reloaded Round 1

After Darren Rowse’s recently concluded Reviews and Predictions Writing Project, when things have slowed down a little, I’ve finally a chance to look at the other entries.

As Darren mentioned, whether anything you write actually gets read, depends on your title. Whether it’s a website, a blog entry, the name of a blog, the title of an ebook, everything depends on:

  • Keywords in the Title: Examples include monetary amounts: “$100,000”, names of prominent individuals “Britney Spears”, “Matt Cutts”, “Shoemoney”, “Yanik Silver”
  • Eyecatching Phrases: “Blog in Your Sleep”, “Autopilot Income”, “Floods of Traffic”
  • Scarcity: “Christmas Promotion”, “Limited Edition”, “Next 5 Readers only”

I’m looking through the titles and there’s a very obvious contrast between a generic title like “Looking Back at 2006” and “My Predictions for 2007” which are Continue reading
