“4 Golden Rules” For Finding An Internet Income Opportunity
| Creating websites is not that difficult to do. With a little practice, you can have one up and running in just a few hours. But, creating an effective website to take advantage of an internet income opportunity is much more difficult to do. | 
|
The key to making money online is getting traffic. And, not just any type of traffic, but “highly targeted traffic”. These two terms are not the same thing.
Getting traffic to your website is fine, but if they don’t buy or if they don’t perform the task that you want them to do, what have you accomplished? Nothing – you’ve wasted your time!
But, if you can get highly targeted traffic to your website – traffic that is looking and wanting to buy – than taking advantage of an internet income opportunity becomes a reality.
So, how do you get highly targeted traffic to your website? The answer is simple, but until just recently, the solution to that answer was not that simple.
Keywords. Finding the right keywords for your website is the answer to getting highly targeted traffic. Finding keywords that you can use to not only get on Google’s page 1, but will also attract traffic that is willing to convert or buy.
The best keywords to use on a website must meet 4 qualifications. They must be relevant, they must be capable of attracting acceptable levels of traffic, they must have acceptable levels of competition, and they must have high commercial value – relevant, traffic, competition, commerciality. These are called the “4 Golden Rules” for finding an internet income opportunity.
How do you find keywords for a website that meets all of the qualifications of the “4 Golden Rules”? Well, until recently, it took lots of work and days to do.
Generating keywords with Google’s Keyword Tool is easy to do – relevance and traffic is somewhat easy. But, finding the keywords with acceptable levels of competition and having high commercial value is very time consuming.
So time consuming, in fact, that most people don’t do it. They create a website without doing it and their website suffers. That’s why most websites fail.
Now, however, there is some new software on the market that will automatically do all of this research for you and it will do it in only minutes. That software is called Market Samurai.
Watch this video where they’ll show you a real world example on how this software works and “HOW” to use these “4 Golden Rules”:
I’ve been using Market Samurai for 1-1/2 years and I don’t know how anyone who’s trying to take advantage of an internet income opportunity can do without it.
And, besides keyword research, there’s so much more that Market Samurai will do for you. Read my article Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity to learn even more.
Now, if you’re going to build only 1 website, I wouldn’t buy Market Samurai. They let you use it for FREE for one full week. You should grab that free week and find the best targeted keywords for your website on their dime.
But, if you plan on making two or more websites, you need to use Market Samurai’s unbelievable software!
So, go on over to Market Samurai, grab your FREE WEEK, and you’ll see what I mean. Making an internet income opportunity a reality is only a few clicks away!
An Internet Income Opportunity Matrix For Finding The Best Keywords
If you’re trying to take advantage of an internet income opportunity by building small websites that attracts lots of free traffic from the search engines, than I’ve found a new tool that I want to share with you. It’s called the Money Word Matrix.
As you know, choosing the right keywords for your websites is vitally important. You want words that you can easily get ranked high on Google for. The words need to receive a significant amount of traffic, yet, not be too competitive. That’s what the Money Word Matrix will help you do. Take a look at it:
As you can see, on the left hand side you look for the number that Google’s Keyword Tool displays for the total number of global searches for a keyword on a monthly basis. Across the top, you look for the number of competitors that Google’s Search Tool displays tor that keyword. Using those numbers, the matrix will tell you if that keyword is a good one to use.
If you don’t use the super tool called Market Samurai, you could use the Money Word Matrix along with Bing’s Detecting Online Commercial Intention Tool to find super keywords to use for your websites. Let me show you an example.
Let’s say that I wanted to create a website and promote a product that helps to stop dogs from barking.
If I go to Google’s Keyword Tool and I enter phrase “stop dog barking”, I get the following results:
“Stop dog barking” receives about 90,500 searches on a monthly basis – nearly 3,000 per day. Next, I want to find out if “stop dog barking” has any commercial value.
Why? Because if the keywords that I want to use for my website are not likely to be used by “buyers”, than it would be pointless to use those words to promote my product. I want traffic that’s willing to buy, and not just visitors.
So, I take my potential keyword to Bing’s Detecting Online Commercial Intention Tool and I enter it in there. I got the following results:
Pow!! Not very good – not at all. The phrase “stop dog barking” shows a 54% probability that it would be used by “lookers”, and not buyers. So, I better look for another keyword phrase.
Going back to Google’s Keyword Tool, I found another phrase further down the list – “dog bark control”. Here, take a look at it:
That phrase receives about 18,100 searches per month. That’s less than the first one, but it’s still about 600 searches per day. Let’s see what kind of commercial value Bing’s tool will give this potential keyword.
That’s GOOD! Bing estimates that there is a 99% chance the phrase “dog bark control” would be used by potential buyers. That’s the type of words that I want to use for my website!
Now, the last test. Let’s see how well this term fits into the Money Word Matrix.
First, I go to Google’s Search Tool and I enter the keyword into it using phrase match (be sure to use “phrase” match – much more accurate results). Here’s what I got:
Google is telling me that the term “dog bark control” has 18,400 competing pages. That’s a lot, but not terribly bad.
I take this information along with the number of Google searches done for this potential keyword and I fit them into the Money Word Matrix. I got the following results:
As you can see, the Matrix identifies this potential keyword as a Good choice. Now, this term has passed my commercial value test and the Money Matrix test. It’s a good keyword to use for creating my internet income opportunity website – I just need to find three or four more.
Use this method to help you identify better key words for your websites. You want to find keywords that will give you plenty of traffic, have commercial value, and not too much competition.
Or, take a look at Market Samurai. Yes, I’m an affiliate and would make a commission, but I’m not sure why everybody doesn’t use it. It automates this entire process and does much, much more. Keyword research is only a small part. Read my article Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity to learn more about it.
Network Marketing Internet Business Newbie Mistakes
| There are some very common mistakes made by Newbies in the network marketing internet business. I’m not surprised that some of these mistakes are made because I made some of these same mistakes when I first started out. That’s why I’m writing this posting so that I can help others who are first starting out to avoid these mistakes. | 
|
Avoid These Common Mistakes:
1. Failure To Capture Email Addresses
If you’re trying to drive organic(free) traffic to your website, why shouldn’t you take the time to capture their email addresses? Yes, they have to give it to you, but why not take the time and ask them for it? It never hurts to ask!
If a visitor to your site likes what they see and read, they’ll probably be pleased to give you their email address. After all, that means that they can get some more of that good information in the future and they don’t have to take the time to remember your website’s address.
Getting your visitor’s email address allows you to build a relationship with them. You’ll get more visitors to your site who are just looking and not buying, but if you’ll buid a confident relationship with them, they’ll be more likely to buy in the future. And, they’re likely to become repeat customers!
The best way to ask a visitor to your site to give their email address to you is to offer them something free in return. Offer them a free report, advice, or a free tool. Let them know that their email address is safe with you and that they can always opt-out if they no longer want to receive any more emails from you.
It’s easy to create a free report that you can give your visitors in your particular niche. But, if you don’t want to create your own, you can also get them for free. Read my posting Rebranding an Internet Income Opportunity to find out how.
2. Failure To Try To Sell More
If you’ve got a visitor to your site and they’ve decided to make a purchase, don’t be afraid to ask them to make an additional purchase.
It’s always easier to sell someone who has already made a purchase and still has their credit card in-hand.
Do this within seconds after they’ve made their first purchase.
Make sure that the second product that you’re going to try to sell them is somehow related to the first product that they’ve already bought. For example, if you’ve just sold a customer the plans to build solar panels for their home, why not make them an second offer for the plans to build a solar heating unit for their swimming pool? You may increase your profits in your network marketing internet business!
3. Reducing The Cost Of Google Adwords
Remember that I said that it’s important to capture a visitor’s email address? Well, that’s especially important if you’re advertising on Google Adwords!
How many times have you advertised on Google Adwords and your cost to do it was $500 and the sales you made only netted you $450? That’s a net loss of $50.
Well, if you’re capturing email addresses, you’ll have the opportunity to make up that $50 loss with potential sales in the future.
4. Using The Wrong Keywords
All too often and the biggest mistake made by Newbies is that they use the wrong keywords for their websites, articles, and videos. As a result, they get very little traffic and they find it almost impossible to get ranked.
Newbies are anxious to get started – I know, I was there and made the same mistakes. Choosing keywords that are too general and too competitive is a waste of time and energy.
Before you get started, sloooow down, choose the right niche, and the right keywords. Keywords that have enough traffic, but not too much competition.
There is a Google tool that can help you find the right keywords to choose. That tool is at http://www.google.com/sktool/.
This tool will help you find keyword phrases that are relevant to your niche and gives you an estimated level of traffic. Choose keywords that are long-tail(multiple words), have a sufficient amount of daily traffic, and are not too competitive.
For more information on how to identify what the competition is for a keyword, read my article Cherry Picking An Internet Income Opportunity. In that article, you’ll find a FREE tool for identifying what the competition is for a keyword phrase.
5. Using Keywords That Won’t Sell
A BIG MISTAKE!
Some keywords just won’t bring you visitors who are willing to buy. They will only bring you visitors who are looking for information and doing research.
Ask any expert on Google Adwords – there are certain keywords that will bring buyers and other keywords will attract only lookers.
When you choose keywords for your website, articles, and videos, be sure that you use keywords that hungry buyers would use.
So, after you do your keyword research on google.com/sktool, take your chosen keywords to Bing’s Online Commercial Intention Tool and find out what the probability is that those keywords will be words that buyers would use. This tool is FREE to use.
If you’ve found 3-4 keywords that have sufficient amounts of traffic,are not too competitive, and are likely to be used by buyers, you’ve likely found a gold mine!
Now, let me tell you about a tool that can do all of these things for you, and it does it automatically. Yes, it does cost some money, but not that much. I think that at some point, it’ll be used by everyone in the internet marketing or affiliate marketing business.
The tool is called Market Samurai. Read my article Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity to learn more about it.
The tool is so easy to use and it’s so clever! I can’t imagine trying to make money online without having this tool in my tool box.
Every business has a tool box. Don’t let your network marketing internet business suffer without it!

Online Home Work Business Opportunities Should Be Based On Profitable Keywords
The keywords that you’re using are vital for any online business. That’s no secret. But, did you know that most people that are trying to take advantage of these online home work business opportunities are missing out on one key factor in their keyword research? And, what is that factor? It’s called keyword commerciality.
There are 4 Golden Rules in keyword research. These rules are:
1. Relevant – The keyword needs to be relevant to your site.
2. Traffic – The keyword needs to be capable of generating high levels of traffic.
3. Competition – The keyword needs acceptable levels of competition.
4. Commerciality – The keyword needs the potential to drive high levels of profit.
The first two rules are followed by almost everyone that’s been in the business even for a short amount of time. The last two are a different story.
If a keyword has too much competition, it will be extremely difficult to get the search engines to rank you on page one. Now, this article is not about competition and I’ve previously written an article about that. Should you want to learn more, go to Income Opportunity Home Based Business Link Building Guide.
Commerciality – the 4th Golden Rule. That’s what this article is about and what almost everyone ignores or seems to forget. And, it’s sooooo… important!
Think of each of your keywords as a pipe with a certain amount of monetary flow passing through it.
A high commerciality keyword is a large pipe with a strong cash flow. Find and use one of these keywords and you have a large profit potential.
A low commerciality keyword is a small pipe. Not much cash will flow through it. Use one of these keywords and you won’t make much money.
Every keyword you choose has the potential to not only attract traffic, but also to attract buyers. How many times have you heard a webmaster say that he worked for months to get his website up to page one on Google, but nobody bought anything? It happens all the time!
That’s because the keyword’s commerciality was not investigated before the keyword was chosen. That’s a BIG MISTAKE!
So, how do you measure a keywords commercial potential? The best tool that I’ve found for doing that and it’s one of my home work business opportunities arsenals of tools is called Market Samurai. The Market Samurai tool can do a lot of things for you, and one of them is to figure keyword commerciality.
Click on the video below to get a demonstration on how Market Samurai automatically determines keyword commerciality and shows you the best ones to choose. A Word of Warning though before you click it.
When you do click it, it will take you to the homepage of Market Samurai’s video training called Samurai Dojo. The video there is much better than the one you would see on YouTube. Now, go ahead and click it:
Amazing stuff that Market Samurai will do for you!
Market Samurai will find the best keywords for you that meet all of the requirements of the 4 Golden Rules, including commerciality. That’s something that I don’t think any other tool will do for you.
And, there is so much more that Market Samurai will do for you. Read my article Traffic is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity to see what else this tool will do for you!
Online home work business opportunities are much more successful when using a tool like Market Samurai. Go ahead and give the FREE TRIAL a chance and see for yourself!
Income Opportunity Home Based Business Link Building Guide
If you’re running an income opportunity home based business and trying to make a living online, then you must realize the importance of building incoming links to your site. Google and all of the other major search engines use this as the single most important factor for ranking your site on their pages.
|
Not only the quantity of links, but also the quality of those links. Getting a backlink from a site that has a Google Page Rank of 7 is worth more than a hundred backlinks from sites that have a Page Rank of 0 or 1. |
One of the biggest mistakes that I see time and again are backlinks that I see being made from “nofollow” sites. Leaving a backlink to your site from a “nofollow” site will not do anything to increase your Google Page Rank. Nothing!
Maybe a lot of people don’t know it, but all links are labeled either “nofollow” or “dofollow”. Most blogs and most websites are set up to use the “nofollow” tag. When Google’s spiders see this, they don’t record these at links to the other site. Leaving backlinks at “nofollow” sites are a waste of time.
One more problem I see a lot of people make are the anchor texts that they leave. They always leave the same anchor text and it’s almost always to their main home page. Search engines don’t like this.
In case you don’t know what “anchor text” means, it’s the written verbiage that your link is created from. When someone clicks on this anchor text, it takes them to the linking page.
Search engines are looking for “natural links”. Links that in their robotic minds that would occur naturally. Links that always use the same anchor text and always go to the same page are not natural and the search engines will penalize these sites.
| Remember this. To get on page 1 for your niche’s keywords, you’ll either need more links than your competition or links of higher value. Analyze the links that your competitors on page 1 are using. Find out how many links they have and the Page Rank of those links. | 
|
Do this and you’ll have a solid game plan for building links to your own site and moving your income opportunity home based business up to page 1.
You’re probably now wondering how to analyze your competitor links on page 1. The tool that I use, and it’s the best on the market, is called Market Samurai.
Market Samurai will identify your competitors top 10 sites for each of your niche keywords. For each of those sites, it will show you how many links each of them has, it will identify where all of those links come from, what the Page Rank is for each of those links, and what anchor text they used to create those links. Everything you need to know so that you build a stronger link network and out-rank them!
Watch this video to get a better idea on how easily this is done using Market Samurai:
If you haven’t used Market Samurai before, this video may have got you a bit lost. But, believe me, once you’re familiar with Market Samurai it’s so easy to use. This is only a small part on how Market Samurai can help your income opportunity home based business.
Currently, there are 7 terrific modules inside Market Samurai. These modules are:
1. Keyword Research – Identifies the keywords that are best in your niche. It also identifies which of these keywords are likely to attract visitors who are willing to spend money.
2. SEO Competition – The video you watched above used this module. There is also so much more to this module. It will identify how competitive a particular keyword is and if it should be used.
3. Monetization – Helps you identify what to promote and market in your niche.
4. Find Content – Assists you in finding other articles related to your keywords that you can rewrite and use on your site.
5. Publish Content – Helps you to publish new content to your site.
6. Promotion – Identifies “dofollow” sites that are best to build backlinks and ping backs from.
7. Domain Samurai – Identifies existing domains that already have existing links that are for sale and related to your niche keywords.
This is only a brief description of what these modules are. There is so much more that Market Samurai can do for you!
I’m not really sure why anyone that has an income opportunity home based business would not invest in Market Samurai other than that they just don’t have the money. I believe that the info provided in the above video is reason enough to invest in it and Market Samurai does so much more.
FREE Internet Income Opportunity Rank Decoding Engine
Some new SEO software has been released this week that I thought my readers would be interested in. It should really help you to get your internet income opportunity highly ranked in just a short period of time. Best of all, this software is FREE for a limited time!
|
The software is called the Crowd Mountain “Rank Decoding Engine“and it has been produced and released by Michelle MacPhearson. It’s really a nice piece of software. |
What the software actually does is that it “reverse engineers” Google’s results pages as you watch. It takes the keywords for your website (which you enter into the software’s browser bar) and produces a blueprint of the top ranked, high authority Google websites that are best suited for creating back links from.
This software is simple and clever. It shows you the sites that consistently rank high in Google in your particular niche. Place links on these sites back to your own and your internet income opportunity should explode!

Pretty neat, right?! Get your FREE copy of this Rank Decoding Engine while you can. Supplies and time are limited on most of the software that Michelle MacPhearson and Crowd Mountain produces.
Once you have downloaded this software, there is another FREE software package I want you to look at and download. Then, I’m going to show you how you can use both of these free software packages together to really explode your internet income opportunity.
The second piece of Free software is called Market Samurai. I’m not going to explain a lot about this software because I’ve previously written an article about it. That article is called Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity. Go ahead, take a few minutes and read that article.
Now, once you’ve downloaded both of these free software packages, this is how you can use them together:
1. Find the Right Keywords
If you already have a website, use Market Samurai to explore if your keywords are the best ones that you could have chosen for your particular niche. If not, you may want to add a couple that Market Samurai suggests for you.
If you don’t already have a website and are thinking about starting one, use Market Samurai to find those important keywords that will make your website a success in your particular niche. Market Samurai is killer software for doing this!
Enter up to 10 of your keywords into the Rank Decoding Software and ask it to find those sites that consistently rank high in your niche. If you don’t already have back links from these sites, then that’s what you need to work on in the immediate future.
Market Samurai provides you the most relevant keywords that you should be using in your niche, and the Rank Decoding Software provides you the most relevant sites to those keywords, you can rest assured that the back links that you are building are from the most relevant high authority sites in your niche.
2. Watch Your Rankings Rise…
If you have the full version of Market Samurai, enter your keywords and URL into Market Samurai’s Rank Tracking Module and watch your rankings rise as you build those high authority back links. Not only is it encouraging to watch your rankings rise, but it also assures you that your efforts are not being wasted.
3. Post Feeder Pages
Don’t just build back links from commenting on other blogs and websites, post articles (feeder pages) on Web 2.0 websites such as Squidoo, Hubpages, and Buzzle. Link these to your main website. Web 2.0 websites are considered high authority sites by Google and they’ll generate additional traffic to your internet income opportunity.
*Note: For additional info on building back links, read my article Build Your Internet Income Opportunity With High Page Rank Links
Home Work Business Opportunities Using Market Samurai
Need to find a job or are you looking for some extra income? Don’t do it the traditional way by working for someone else. Home work business opportunities do exist and I am going to show you one that does work and requires only a small investment.
Become an internet marketing consultant and help small to mid-size companies create and maintain their own websites and blogs.
Do you know how many of these businesses don’t have a presence on the internet? As of February 24, 2010 it’s been estimated that nearly 51% of businesses with a sales volume between $100,000 to $10 Million don’t have their own web presence. Of these, nearly 25% say they plan to have a website within the next 12 months. That’s a huge, hungry market. It’s home work business opportunities for those that want to grab it.
Most of these businesses know they should have and they need a website for their business, their problem is that they don’t know how to do it. They don’t have the internet savvy. That’s where you can come in.
But, you’re thinking, you don’t really have the knowledge and expertise to run that type of business. And, right now you may not. But, there is a tool on the market that you can buy at a very low price that can make you that expert. That tool is called Market Samurai (if you haven’t, read my article on this Internet Income Opportunity tool).
Most people purchase Market Samurai to help themselves to create a page 1 ranking website. But, why not use this tool to help others to create their own high ranking website? Think about it! If it will work for you, why wouldn’t it work for anyone? Because, it will!
As a marketing consultant, all you have to do is drum up the initial business and use Market Samurai to help them build a successful website. You don’t even have to tell them that you’re using Market Samurai. You have discussions and input from your customer and you use this information to run reports from Market Samurai from your home office. You furnish copies of these professional looking reports to your customer and they will be astounded with how much work it appears that you have done.
For example, let’s say your customer is interested in the keyword “weight loss”. You tell your customer, “OK. Let me do some research on that word and I’ll get back to you tomorrow”. You go home and enter this keyword into Market Samurai’s SEO Competition Module. One minute later you have the report, you make a copy of it and the next day you show and explain it to your customer. The report looks like this:
You explain to your customer that your analysis indicates that the competition is too tough (as indicated by all the “red boxes”), and that further looking for other keywords would be in his best interest. Wow! The customer is blown away!
In this business, you are only providing the customer with the information and knowledge that he needs to build the website. You let the customer actually do the real work. You let the customer build the website. You let the customer do the writing. You may review what the customer actually makes or writes (at an additional fee), but leave the actual work to the customer.
You, as the consultant, will help the customer find the right keywords, right domain name, identify their major competitors, identify their competitor’s strengths and weaknesses, identify link sources, and help the customer drive traffic to their own website.
Market Samurai will provide you all the information you need to help your customer build a successful website. Once you have your first customer satisfied, other business will follow from word-of-mouth. The need for this type of business is booming!
What you charge your customer, of course, depends upon what you want to charge them. You could charge them on a hourly basis (I would charge a minimum of $100 per hour) or on a project basis. This will depend somewhat on what the customer is expecting from you.
Become a real internet marketing consultant by using Market Samurai. It’s a “Golden Key”. Home work business opportunities do still exist and this one is waving its’ sword at us.
Flipping Can Be An Income Opportunity Home Based Business
Flipping is a term used in the internet marketing world. It is the act of buying and selling websites for a profit. Flipping can be an income opportunity home based business that requires only 1-2 hours of work per day. It has huge profit potential. Let me explain.
One new website or blog is created every 1/2 second. Nearly 99% of these websites will never get much traffic, usually because they have chosen the wrong keywords (read Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity). But, with over 170,000 new websites and blogs created every day, if only 1% of these do have the ability get much traffic that means 1,700 new, valuable websites are on the internet each and every day.
Now, many of these good websites will never deliver a cent of profit to their owners. Why? Well, many of them were created for reasons other than profit and many of them will never be monetized properly. Learning to monetize a website is a skill that many web owners just don’t have. Owners of many of these potentially good websites, will eventually get tired of working on their “gold mines” and either give up on them or sell them. Those up for sale are what you need to be looking for.
You are probably asking two questions right now:
- Where do I look for these potentially, good websites that are for sale?
- How do I recognize a potentially, good website from a poor one?
I believe Flippa is the best place to look for websites for sale. Go there and check it out. You can join for free (I don’t receive any commissions from Flippa). Flippa provides an abundant amount of information on websites that are up for sale. Another marketplace to look at is the Sitepoint Marketplace.
To recognize potentially, good websites for my income opportunity home based business I look at several things:
1. Profit – Does the website make a profit? If so, how much and for how long? Do they have written records of this sales activity? What niche or market are they in?
I review the monetization methods that they have been using. Can I improve upon it? If the website is already making some money and if I believe I can improve its money making potential, the website has my interest.
2. Traffic – Traffic is the most important things that I look for. Each unique visitor is worth some amount of money. If the site already has a sizable amount of traffic, that’s good! If not, why not? Is it the niche or the website. If it’s the niche, my interest goes way down. If it’s the website, what is wrong with it? How many back links does the site have? What keywords are being used?
This is where I use one of my tools that I have. That tool is called Market Samurai. I can use this tool to determine if the keywords being used are appropriate or if they need changing. I can also use this tool to determine how competitive the internet market is for the keywords being used.
In the end, when I am reviewing a potential website that’s for sale, I either want it to already have a lot of traffic while generating little or no income (not monetized properly). Or, have low levels of traffic, in a good niche, sound keywords, and huge potential.
I decide how much I am willing to pay and I bid on the website. Up front, I decide what is the maximum amount I am willing to pay and I don’t go over that amount.
After I have purchased the website, I lay out plans for improving the website’s performance. Sometimes, I only have to monetize the website. Sometimes, I only have to increase traffic. But, I usually work on both monetization and traffic.
After I have my plans developed, I outsource the labor at oDesk (read Outsourcing Help For Your Network Marketing Internet Business).This is really the simple way to do it and it’s inexpensive to do. I get an email every day from my outsourced laborers on what progress they’ve made. I stay focused on developing other ways to make more money.
At some point in the future, usually 3-9 months, the performance on the websites that I have purchased has increased so much that I can sell them for huge profits. I use those profits to buy more websites. So, you see, flipping websites can be an income opportunity home based business.
Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity
You cannot take advantage of any internet income opportunity unless you have traffic going to your site. And, I mean loads of traffic! At best, most internet marketers can expect a 1-3% conversion rate. So, that means for every 100 visitors to your website, you can expect only 1 to 3 sales.
How do you get traffic to your website? Well, one way is to pay for it. You can advertise your website on the search engines and drive traffic to your site. If you have tried this, you know how expensive this can be. Even after you have made a sale, you have probably lost money. Or, you can get free traffic to your website.
Getting free traffic to your website is what nearly every internet marketer wants. But, nearly 99% of those that try fail to get sufficient traffic to their website. They waste hours-upon-hours of time creating their websites and writing articles only to see that they are getting 15-20 visitors per day. They have wasted their time.
Why do 99% of those that try, fail? Because they have broken at least one of the three Golden Rules of internet marketing. These 3 Golden Rules are:
- Target ONLY keywords that can drive significant traffic to your website.
- Target ONLY keywords that have significant profit potential.
- Target ONLY keywords that have acceptable levels of competition.
That’s it! These three Golden Rules are the key to success for any website. Break any one of these and your website WILL FAIL!
What’s most important about these 3 Golden Rules is that these keywords have to be determined and selected before you even begin making your website. Don’t waste time on trying to take advantage of an internet income opportunity unless you have the right keywords selected.
Finding the right keywords that fit the Golden Rules criteria is not easy, particularly if your not an internet guru. But, there is a “darn good” tool on the market that can help you do it. It’s called Market Samurai.
Don’t try building a successful website unless you have this tool! This tool will help you find those keywords that can make your website a success.
I have been using parts of Market Samurai for the last 1-1/2 years. I say parts, because the team building Market Samurai is still building and adding on to Market Samurai. As a paid member, the new parts (they call them “modules”) cost me nothing when they add them on.
Presently, there are seven modules to Market Samurai. They are:
Module 1 – Keyword Research: This module helps you find those keywords in the niche that you have selected that fit the three Golden Rules.
Module 2 – SEO Competition: Identifies the top 10 websites on Google’s search engine for the keywords that you have selected. This module provides a lot of info about these top 10 sites (including addresses to their backlinks) and identifies how difficult it’ll be to compete against them.
Module 3 – Find Content: This module identifies other articles published on the internet related to your niche and identifies their ranking authority. You can use information from these high ranking articles to easily make your own high ranking articles.
Module 4 – Promotion: Hunts down relevant, high quality sites for sourcing backlinks including .gov and .edu sites.
Module 5 – Publish Content: Takes the headache out of publishing articles and makes management of your website much easier.
Module 6 – Monetization: Helps you to identify products in your niche that you can make a profit from marketing. This module will also help you make top selling ads.
Module 7 – Rank Tracking: Monitors multiple sites and webpages and tracks and graphs their performance by keywords across all of the major search engines.
These are the modules that currently exist and there are more to come. One that’s expected to be released soon is on Google Adwords and it’ll make Adwords so much easier to use.
Take a look at Market Samurai. It has a limited-time free trial and you should at least try that. As I’ve already said, don’t be part of that 99% that fail.
Now, I know Market Samurai does cost money. I don’t like to spend money, either. But, before I bought Market Samurai, my first two websites failed because I had broken one or more of the Golden Rules. Not this one. And, never again!
Market Samurai is a one-time fee. It’s now a permanent tool in my tool box. Every successful business has some sort of tool box. I can now use it to further build my internet income opportunity.
