Key Income Opportunity Home Based Business Secrets
The key ingredient to a successful income opportunity home based business is getting lots of traffic to your website. Now, there are two ways to do that:
1. Pay for that traffic by using Google Adwords (or, something similar to it), or
2. Getting your website ranked highly on the search engines so that your website gets loads of FREE TRAFFIC.
Both of these ways work. Unfortunately, it’s expensive to pay for that traffic and unless you’re a Master at Google Adwords, you’ll rarely make a profit.
That’s why I stay away from Google Adwords…besides, I like getting FREE TRAFFIC…it just takes longer to do.
Let’s talk about how to get FREE TRAFFIC…lots of it.
SEO Is The Key Secret Of An Income Opportunity Home Based Business
To get a lot of FREE TRAFFIC to your website you have to get your website ranked on the first page of the search engines for your keyword terms. To do that, you have to two things correctly…on-page optimization and off-page optimization.
On-page optimization only accounts for about 20-30% of how well the search engines will rank your website. That’s not much, but it is still important.
In this article, I don’t want to talk much about on-page optimization. Besides, a few months back I wrote an article about this and if you want to learn more about it, you can go there and read it now. The article is called Internet Income Opportunitys On-Page SEO Tips.
Off-page optimization accounts for 70-80% of how well the search engines will rank your website. And, while “off-page optimization” sounds pretty fancy and a bit technical, it’s really not.
Off-page optimization just means that you need to get backlinks back to your website from other websites or pages on the internet…the more, the better!
And, it really helps if you get these backlinks from sites that have high Page Rank…the higher, the better!
So, how do you go about getting backlinks (backlinks that count…more on that in a minute) and getting these backlinks from sites that have high Page Rank?
First off, you need a tool on your computer called SEOQuake…don’t worry it’s FREE (read my article A Network Marketing Internet Business Backlinking Trick to learn more about this tool).
After you have SEOQuake installed on your computer, you now have to find blogs and websites that allow you to leave comments and postings with a link back to your site…a link that is a dofollow link!
What do I mean by that?
Well, there are two types of backlinks that you can make…a dofollow backlink or a nofollow backlink.
Wikipedia defines a nofollow link as “a value that can be assigned to the rel attribute of an HTML a element to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring.”
In other words, if you look at the HTML code for a nofollow link, you will see something similar to what you see below:
Notice the rel=”nofollow”…thus, this link would be a nofollow link and the search engines would not give any backlink with this type of attribute any consideration for ranking purposes.
Unfortunately, most blogs and websites that are created only allow you to leave a comment or posting using this nofollow attribute…that’s why you need SEOQuake.
If you’re using SEOQuake, you can instantly tell if a website is using the dofollow or nofollow attribute. Not only that, by using SEOQuake, you can instantly see what type of Page Rank the site has…if they have any Page Rank at all.
If you’re trying to improve your website’s ranking, don’t waste your time leaving a comment where it will only get a nofollow attribute.
Now, here is one more secret!
Do you know what types of blogs and websites most often do have the dofollow attribute? Thet are those that use KeywordLuv for their comments.
Caution…However! Not all KeywordLuv blogs are dofollow. The purpose of installing KeywordLuv is to make your blog a dofollow blog, but some website owners fail to enable the plugin after it is installed…always use SEOQuake to make sure it is dofollow.
So, how do you find KeywordLuv blogs and websites that are related to your particular niche?
Let’s say your looking for blogs and websites related to jewelry…go to Google and type in the following:
That’s all you have to do…just enter intitle:jewelry “KeywordLuv” and click “Search”. Now you have a list of blogs and websites that are using KeywordLuv and are most likely using the dofollow attribute…just remember to check using SEOQuake.
There, that’s it…this key income opportunity home based business secret has been revealed. Until next time…

Facebook Advertising Is A Legitimate Business Opportunity
| Do you advertise on Google Adwords? If so, have you tried advertising on Facebook, yet? If not, you’re missing out on a legitimate business opportunity!
Facebook is HUGE! Since its creation from a Harvard dorm room in 2004, Facebook has grown to over 500 MILLION USERS and that number is SKYROCKETING. More than 50% of those users use it on a daily basis. |
|
In January 2010, Facebook set a record by displacing Google as the top site where the most web pages are viewed.
So, if you advertise on Adwords, don’t pass up advertising on Facebook. You can do it for far less money and you can target your customers so much better. You can target buyers who have already qualified themselves in a particular target market.
Here, let me show you how to do it:
Go to http://www.facebook.com/advertising and you’ll get a page similar to the one below:
Once on that page, click the “Create an Ad” button located in the upper, right hand side of that page.
Now, you’ll get a page similar to the one above. Fill in your ads destination URL, give your ad a title, and provide some text for the body of the ad. And, do you see what’s next?
Yes, your ad can have an image with it! That’s one neat thing about Facbook advertising.
When finished, click the “Continue” button and you’ll get a page similar to the one below:
On these pages is where your legitimate business opportunity really begins to take shape. These pages allow you to target your market very specifically – in ways that you can’t do on Google Adwords.
You can target buyers by age, sex, relationships, and even birthdays! But, it’s the box that appears just below the box above that I like best. See the image below:
Likes and Interests! This box is MOST IMPORTANT!
In this box you can get very focused on particular types of buyers. For example, if you were promoting one of Clickbank’s products called World of Warcraft, you could put that into the “Likes and Interests” box. Then, only those people that have used those terms in their own profiles would view your ad. This insures that your ads are highly targeted!
Now, one thing that I need to mention is that as you are checking boxes or adding phrases to target your potential buyers, Facbook is keeping track of it. Facebook provides you an estimate of the number of potential viewers that will see your ad. That estimate appears to the right of the images above. It looks like the image below:
The reason I didn’t show it in the images up above is that the image would’ve been so big that when I downsized it to fit on this page, you wouldn’t have been able to read what is written on those pages. I apologize for that.
Moving on.
The last bit of information that you have to complete before placing your ad order is the Campaigns, Pricing and Scheduling box.
Here, you select a campaign name and can enter a daily budget. If you haven’t advertised on Facebook before, I would encourage you to keep your daily budget low. Facebook advertising takes some practice.
Schedule your ad for the days that you want your ad to show. Maybe you want your ads only to show on weekends. If so, make that selection.
Last, choose how you want to pay for your ads. Do you want to pay on a Pay for Click(CPC) or Pay for Impressions(CPM) basis? Facebook will provide you an estimate of what it thinks you should pay for both of these. But, it’s your decision. You decide and enter that into the box.
I’ve found on a CPC basis that I pay about one-third of what I have to pay on Google Adwords.
After filling out these forms, your ad can start running. You’re done. Your legitimate business opportunity has been created. Keep track of it and watch the profits roll in.
GO Organic With Your Internet Income Opportunity
If you’re trying to make money or trying to get a message that you really believe in across the internet, then I urge you to do it organically. An internet income opportunity promoted organically costs so much less and is usually so much more successful.
Just in case you don’t know what I mean by “organically”, it means that you are not paying for it. It means that you are getting visitors to your website naturally.
There are two ways to get traffic to your site. One, is to pay for the traffic, such as through Google Adwords.
Secondly, is through normal search engine traffic, most importantly is Google, which accounts for 70% of the traffic.
Paid search on the internet is so expensive. I know, I’ve done it. Take out your wallet and never close it.
To be successful on the internet, you have to learn to do it organically. Don’t let anybody else tell you differently!
What this means is that if you want a lot of visitors to your website “naturally”, you have to be ranked on page 1 of Google – one of the top ten sites for your keyword.
Let me show you something. See the image below:
If you’re paying for visitors to your website, and if you are paying enough to get your ad listed at the top of Google’s search page, on average you’ll get 2-3% of the visitors to the page to click on your ad (these numbers are furnished by Google).
And, what about the ads on the right side of the page:
On average, they’ll get 1-2% of the clicks to the page. See below:
So, what does this mean?
It means that you’re so much better off to get your internet income opportunity’s website or squeeze page ranked on page 1 than you are to pay for traffic to it.
Take a look at the picture below:
According to Google, on average the #1 organic listing on their search page will receive 40-45% of all of the available clicks to that page.
The #2 listing will receive somewhere between 11-18% of the clicks; the #3 listing will receive 7-15%; the 4th through #9 listings will average about 2% each of the clicks and, surprisingly, the #10 listing will get slightly more at about 3% of all of the available clicks.
So, even if you’re on the bottom of page 1, you’ll get more clicks than if you were paying for the clicks.
Now, the key is to get your website highly ranked in the search engines. To do that, you need to thoroughly understand search engine optimization. You can get a FREE REPORT that clearly teaches you everything you need to know about this by reading my posting called Internet Income Opportunity SEO Training.
Go ahead and grab that report and download it for free. Search engine optimization are three big words, but this report will downsize them for you.

Try Fishing On Adbrite To Catch Your Internet Income Opportunity
Pay-per-click advertising on Google is like fishing on a big river that is full of anglers. It’s crowded. Everybody is trying to catch an internet income opportunity. The problem is that it’s hard to find a spot in the river where you can throw your hook and not get tangled up with someone else’s line. And, once you do get your hook in the water, you find there are only small fish to catch because the bigger ones have been caught further up the river.
This is similar to the kind of problems I had with pay-per-click advertising on Google Adwords. Google is certainly a big stream with a lot of fish in it, but there are thousands-upon-thousands of advertisers fishing in it. The cost for your keywords that you want to use are high. It is very competitive. You also have to battle with your ad’s quality score on Google Adwords. It’s a struggle.
These are the reasons why I have chosen to fish in smaller streams where there are fewer anglers, but there are still a lot of fish to catch. It’s easier to snag an internet income opportunity. One of those streams that I fish in is called Adbrite. It’s an excellent platform to use for affiliate marketing.
Adbrite serve ads on more than 650,000,000 page views per day. They serve ads on eBay, AOL, Photobucket, MyLifeIsAverage, Facebook, and thousands of other sites. If you want to, you can even select the sites you want your ads to appear on for niche targeting. You can target your ads by location (US, UK, Japan, etc), by category (business, health and wellness, parenting, etc.), by by demographic info (gender and age), and by keywords. Adbrite has their own conversion tracking system that you can use and you can run text ads, banner ads, or full page ads.
The cost to run ads on Adbrite is much lower than Google Adwords. You specify what’s the maximum amount you want to pay and it can be as low as $.05/click. I have used keywords on Adbrite that I paid $.05 for that I use to pay $1.17 for on Google Adwords. You can also tell Adbrite what’s the maximum amount of money you want to spend per day.
Adbrite does not provide a quality score for your ad. So, you don’t get penalized like you do on Google Adwords. I never found the quality score that I got at Google Adwords to be of help. It only lowered my ads position or increased my cost.
So, if you have been fishing in that big river crowded with other anglers, you may want to try this smaller stream. There are still a lot of fish, and big ones too, that are waiting to be caught. Take a look at Adbrite and give it a try! I bet you’ll catch an internet income opportunity.
Create Your Own Network Marketing Internet Business With OpenX
You too can create your own network marketing internet business, similar to Google Adwords, on your own website. Yes, you can sell advertising space on your website by using some special software called OpenX. And, it’s free!
I was introduced to this idea and software from Jeff Johnson’s UndergroundTrainingLab.com. This OpenX software is brilliant and it provides a means for your website to provide you with extra income. But, it can do more than that for you:
1. Maximize your income by only showing the best ads. OpenX tracks how many times ads have been shown and how many times they have been clicked. You can keep the ads that are making you money and get rid of those are not.
2. You can track how much traffic your websites are getting by checking how many ad impressions your site has received.
3. You can sell ad space on your website and control it from the OpenX location.
4. Grow your network marketing internet business by selling text links and control it from the OpenX location. This would make your website similar to Google Adwords.
5. You can test your own ads, banners, and text links. Put these on your own OpenX system and you can track which ones work best and which ones need modifying. Thus, you can maximize your internet income opportunity.
I could keep adding to this list on things you can do with OpenX, but I’m going to let you listen to the expert himself. Listen to this audio recording that Jeff Johnson produced and he will tell you how they use it to make extra money. After listening to this recording, you will have a much better understanding of OpenX and it’s only 7-1/2 minutes long.
Now that you have a better understanding on what OpenX can do for you, you are probably wondering “how do you I actually use this software in my network marketing internet business?” Well, take a look at this short PDF and you will have all of your answers.
Choose The Right Search Engine for Your Internet Income Opportunity
If you are an affiliate and doing pay-per-click advertising, choose the right search engine to make your internet income opportunity a success. Most affiliates advertise on Google, Yahoo, or Bing!. After all, these are the big boys. But, did you know that there are many other search engines you can advertise on and that these search engines also have significant traffic. Well, there are and lots of them. The one I like best is called 7Search.
7Search.com helped to turn my efforts at PPC advertising into a legitimate business opportunity. While I still advertise on Google Adwords using the Google Cash Detective (see the article titled PPC Is A Legitimate Business Opportunity), I expanded my advertising business by using 7Search. It’s another search engine that is generating me lots of profits on a daily basis. It’s easy to use and you can get started using it with an initial advertising fee of only $25.
Unlike Google, 7Search makes you pay your adverting fee up front, before you start advertising. I like that! That way I don’t have to worry about the number of clicks my ad is getting and how much money I may have spent. When my advertising fee runs out, my ads stop. And, similar to Google, 7Search allows you to place a daily cap on how much you want to spend on an ad.
There are five other reasons why I like 7Search to promote my internet income opportunity:
1. Traffic – While not near the traffic that Google Adwords gets, the 7Search engine still gets over 1 billion searches per month. That’s a lot of searches. And, since many advertisers are unfamiliar with 7Search, I am competing against a lot fewer ads. So, my ads get plenty of clicks.
2. Cost – I decide how much the clicks will cost me. I can place an add for as low as 1 cent per click. Many of my high quality keywords are costing me penny’s to use. For example, one of the keywords on one of my ads is “art”. On 7Search, to get the numer one position I pay $.03/click. On Google Adwords, that word would cost me at least $.52/click to get the number 1 position. Need I say more? If you have a word you would like to check out, click here.
3. Quality Score – 7Search ads have no quality score! Gone are the days when Google would tell me my ad would not place on page 1 of their search engine due to a low quality score.
4.Title and Body Length – You can have a much longer title and ad length with 7Search. On Google Adwords, your title must be no longer than 25 characters and your ads body can be no longer than 70 characters – two lines of no more than 35 characters each. On 7Search, your title can have up to 40 characters and the ad’s text up to 190 characters. I don’t always use all of these characters, but it certainly enables me to be a bit more descriptive with the product or service that I am trying to sell.
5. Customer Service – 7Search’s cutomer support is known for being fast, responsive, and friendly. I normally get a response the same day I email them. Or, if I can’t wait a few hours, they have provided me with a phone number where I can call them. Google won’t do that!
7Search has allowed me to increase my pay-per-click advertising with an excellent ROI. Google is still the “Giant” and attracts most of the advertisers, but I will use this “slingshot” to build my internet income opportunity.
