There are so many success stories you will hear about businesses making it good in the internet. The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories contradictory to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.

Is this through luck? That is even more remote. It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the determination to learn and the willingness to invest in a lot of hard work and some money.

Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you have the more people would be able to sell your products to. 

But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater of number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and known fact.

But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough that could make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to provide them with good business. 

Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people that knows that your site exists; the more people would of course go to your site, that’s common sense. 

While there are many ways that can get you advertising for free, this do not generate the same high volume as those methods that are getting paid. These paid advertisements include advertising schemes by Google and Yahoo. 

The Value of Searches

The search and will be the easiest and fastest medium in finding what a person needs in the internet. Search engines have been very popular because they provide a vital service to many people. They are free and easy to use. With this popularity, they get many visitors and clicks that they are the most common sites that people go to. It is easy to understand why so many companies would pay to advertise with these search engines.

Search engines provide information to the millions of users that they have each day. They provide links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your sites link pop up in the high ranks of the search results page, you get a great chance that they will go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.

When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for your traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea, but the payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent traffic flow to your site. You will never go with an empty sales day.

Paying for your Traffic

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ads is clicked, this is called pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools that aid you in using the right keyword for the right moment. 

All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for naught. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result to a great boost in your sales figures. Paying for your traffic would be a really good idea and you will get all the benefits it has to offer.

2

Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo’s take over, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance. Overture saw that the internet was fast becoming the easiest and most convenient way to shop, and advertising was going to hit at an all time high because of the many businesses in the arena.

To get a person to go to a site than others, it needs to be very visible. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales. Yahoo provides a service that can put a site or company’s ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted. 

Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company. 

Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company’s goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.

Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google’s Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched.

For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don’t need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques.

 While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster.

You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.

Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one.

With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start. Many have utilized their services and have reaped the rewards of this decision. It’s a marketing strategy that will increase your website visitors as well as increase your sales resulting to profit. 

It takes money to make money, while there are some methods that are basically low cost or free, using a marketing service such as what Yahoo/Overture offers will provide results faster and on a larger scale. Many businesses have learned this the hard way, don’t be counted with them.

SEO

SEO is a term that almost every other person, related to online business, seems to be interested about. People are found wondering about the importance of SEO and how it works. A lot of people struggle with visibility of their sites in Search Engine results and stuck on a way.

"I have a problem with getting

found. I built a huge Flash site
for juggling pandas and I'm
not showing up anywhere on
Google. What's up?"

Search Engine Optimization or "SEO" is an activity of ensuring a website can be found in Search Engines for words and phrases relevant to what the site is offering. Before describing the power of SEO, let me tell you the basic function of Search Engine and then it's relevance to SEO.

Search Engines have two major functions.

1. Crawling and Building an Index.

Imagine the World Wide Web as a network of stops in big city subway system where each stop is a unique document.The search engines need a way to “crawl” the entire city and find all the stops along the way, so they use the best path available—links. Search Engines use automated robots called "Crawlers: to get to billions of documents the links.

2. Providing Answers

Search Engines are answer machines. When a person performs an online search, the search

engine scours its corpus of billions of documents and does two things: first, it returns only

those results that are relevant or useful to the searcher's query; second, it ranks those results

according to the popularity of the websites serving the information. It is both relevance and

popularity that the process of SEO is meant to influence.

How do Search Engine Determine Relevance and Popularity.

Power of SEO

Why should you invest time, money and resources on SEO?

An important aspect of SEO is to make your website easy and friendly for both users and search engine robots to understand. SEO helps the engines figure out what each page is about, and how it can be useful for user. In other words, it helps the search engines to crawl the data easily and then answer the query.

A common Argument Against SEO
We frequently hear statements like this:

"No smart engineer would ever build a search engine that requires websites to follow certain
rules or principles in order to be ranked or indexed. Anyone with half a brain would want a
system that can crawl through any architecture, parse any amount of complex or imperfect
code, and still find a way to return the most relevant results, not the ones that have been
'optimized' by unlicensed search marketing experts."

But Wait ...

Imagine you posted online a picture of your family dog. A human might describe it as "a black,
medium-sized dog, looks like a Lab, playing fetch in the park." On the other hand, the best
search engine in the world would struggle to understand the photo at anywhere near that level
of sophistication. How do you make a search engine understand a photograph? Fortunately,
SEO allows webmasters to provide clues that the engines can use to understand content. In
fact, adding proper structure to your content is essential to SEO.
Understanding both the abilities and limitations of search engines allows you to properly build,
format, and annotate your web content in a way that search engines can digest. Without SEO,
a website can be invisible to search engines.

As keyword is the fundamental of the search process, therefore, it is really important to know that which words, related to your niche, are searched mostly by people. And it's the basic building block of SEO to do the keyword research first before start working at any website.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is one of the most important, valuable, and high return activities in the search marketing field. Ranking for the right keywords can make or break your website. By researching your market's keyword demand, you can not only learn which terms and phrases to target with SEO, but also learn more about your customers as a whole.
It's not always about getting visitors to your site, but about getting the right kind of visitors. The usefulness of this intelligence cannot be overstated; with keyword research you can predict shifts in demand, respond to changing market conditions, and produce the products,services, and content that web searchers are actively seeking.

Before you scroll the page further, read this important message. This will allow you to rank your website higher for your desired keyword. I'm not going to bore you with the bunch of explanations, I think it's better to dive right in the business.

Keyword Selection

Keywords are what help your site get recognized by Internet search engines, and as a result, help would-be customers find your Internet presence. There are many strategies that can be employed to ensure the likelihood of your website coming up in keyword searches. [We use the Google Adwords to help you find the list of potential keywords. You can use any of tools such as Google Trends, Microsoft Bing Ads Intelligence, Wordtracker's Free Basic Keyword Demand.] The process is:

• Use a keyword tool to help you find the most targeted keywords for your site.

• Targeting keyword phrases is a much better idea than trying to target individual words. Keyword phrases tend to be easier to rank well for AND they typically convert far better than individual words.

• Target different keyword phrases on each page.

• Target no more than one or two primary and two or three secondary keyword phrases per page.

• If you generate hundreds (or even thousands) of pages of content, make sure they read well and have unique content. Over time, if people cite your content, your page will start to rank for many different terms as long as it is unique and targeted around a theme.

Page Optimization

Keyword usage is still a part of the search engines' ranking algorithms, and we can use some effective techniques for keywords usage to help create pages that are well-optimized. Use the keyword phrase:

•  In the title tag at least once. Try to keep the keyword phrase as close to the beginning of the title tag as possible. 

• Once prominently near the top of the page.

•  At least two or three times, including variations, in the body copy on the page. Perhaps a few more times if there's a lot of text content. You may find additional value in using the keyword or variations more than this, but in our experience adding more instances of a term or phrase tends to have little or no impact on rankings.

• At least once in the alt attribute of an image on the page. This not only helps with web search, but also image search, which can occasionally bring valuable traffic.

• Once in the URL. Additional rules for URLs and keywords are discussed later on in this section.

•  At least once in the meta description tag. Note that the meta description tag does not get used by the engines for rankings, but rather helps to attract clicks by searchers reading the results page, as the meta description becomes the snippet of text used by the search engines.

And you should generally not use keywords in link anchor text pointing to other pages on your site; this is known as Keyword Cannibalization.
