Ever heard about canonicalization domain? It’s actually the process to choose the best url when there are some several choices that lead you to the same page. It’s not been observed by many user that when you go to http://domainname.com or http://www.domainname.com or http://www.domainname.com/index.php or http://domainname.com/, they go to the same page, but for search engine robots, they are actually seen as 4 different pages.

In that circumstances, search engine will calculate the value or the back links for this page as separate 4 pages, which actually go for the same page. It then of course will hurt the rank of the page since it’s divided to 4 different URLs.

So it is important to resolve this canonical domain issue if you want to market your blog, or website, so you don’t risk duplicate content and so that your marketing efforts will be focused on one URL.

There is no need to be confused in picking between using www or non www though, because from SEO point of view it really doesn’t matter whether you’d like to use www or non www for your homepage url. But please decide one and stick to it, so you can get all potential backlinks to one of them.

How to get the search engine robots see your site as what you require?

1. Set the parameter on Set Preferred Domain in Google Webmaster Tools.

Before doing it, of course you must submit your site using the chosen url. When it’s verified, just go to Dashboard - Tools - Set Preferred Domain, and define which version of URL that you choose for your homepage to be seen by the robot. This process will help the google robot to more accurately determine your site’s page rank. Though your site will be updated in the Google search results over a period of time, this information will be used for all future crawls of your site and indexing refreshes. Remember that this feature is only available for root sites and not support the subdomains or subdirectory sites.

2. Use 301 permanent redirect to facilitate the robot knows which URL you prefer to be canonical. For example, if you choose your defult URL to be http://www.domainname.com, then use 301 redirect to go to http://www.domainname.com whenever someone request http://domainname.com. You can do it by modify your .htaccess file. This 301 redirect will change your results on all search engine (not only Google) and it also helps to fix all your permalinks, helps visitors link to your preferred domain name and is good for search engine optimization.

3. For wordpress user, you can go to wordpress admin panel, Settings - General. Then set your preferred URL in to the Wordpress Address field and Blog Address field.

That’s it. After you do this canonicalization step, you can focus to optimize the preferred URL that you’ve choose previously. And you will no longer have the canonical problem that will hurt your page rank later.

Are you frustrated by all these websites that use the word free. Do you, like me, feel the word free has to be one of the most overused words in the home business niche. It seems that everyone has a free this and a free that to offer you. So consider this, can you really make money in a free business opportunity.

The short answer to that is, yes you can. Here is how you can do that and we will use affiliate marketing as the business model.

Did you know you can join almost any affiliate marketing program for free? In a matter of a few minutes you can be set up with and affiliate i.d. number that is coded into an affiliate website.

You promote this affiliate website and whenever you make a sale you earn a commission. Your cost to do this is nothing but the time it takes you to promote your free affiliate website.

Before you think you have died and gone to heaven there is a couple of things you should know.

1. Getting traffic to your affiliate web page for free is harder than it sounds. You will have to work hard and master traffic generation methods such as classified ads, article marketing, forum marketing, blogging and so on.

2. Using the affiliate web page given to you by the merchant you are representing is a hard way to make money. If everyone is selling the same product with the same affiliate web site how do you make yourself stand out!

3. A person needs to be followed up with over and over before they buy. This is true both online and offline. Very few people buy much today without thinking it over.

If you promote your affiliate website you are sending traffic to a page that gives you no way to follow up in the future. Your visitor comes to your page, looks it over, and leaves. You have wasted your efforts for nothing.

So how do you get around that? You create your own web site and send visitors to it. You create a landing page and capture names and email addresses into and autoresponder. This is known as building a list and really does work.

Another thing you can do is create a pre sell page where you give a personal testimonial on the product you are selling. This will help you make more sales than the competition who is using the same old affiliate sales page.

So as you can see even affiliate marketing can go from being free to costing you a little bit of money for website hosting and an autoresponder such as aweber. This is still a very little cost compared to setting up a traditional business.

I guess that is why affiliate marketing has become so popular on the internet. I certainly make some very good monthly residual income from affiliate marketing and if you get a chance you should check out Info Product killer which my review can be found on MoneyMasterOnline.com

Article marketing is one of the best forms of free advertising on or offline that is available for bringing new visitors to our websites.

Why is that you ask?

Writing articles can lead to increased visitors to your website. The main reasons you’re writing an article is for people to read and learn about your topic and you. After writing an article you want it published of course. Getting it publshed is how you’re going to drive traffic to your site.

If you know your target market then the hardest part of the work has been done for you - that of assembling a list several thousand individuals to read your article.

You’ll want to submit it to ezine publishers, article directories and create a webpage on your site to display it and to submit to the search engines.

There are several things to consider if you decide to write and submit articles to ezines. The format for writing the article itself, finding ezines to submit it to and figuring out the right way to submit it to publishers so that it gets an above average chance of being used by the publisher.

Writing is hard work. At least for me that is. I tend to generally keep up with how the internet is evolving and develop an article from changes that I see going on.

Writing articles for ezines takes on a basic format that you should become familiar with.

If you haven’t already subscribed to several good, quality ezines do so immediately. You want to review the articles in them so you can get a basic idea of the layout of an article that publishers expect when you submit an article to them.

You’ll notice it has:

- A Title
- The Authors Name
- The Body or Content of the Article
- An Authors Resource Box
- Sentences are under 65 characters per line

Those are the five main components of articles that are typically submitted to ezine publishers. Your best bet is not to vary from it in your initial writing efforts.

Let’s take a look at each one of those components.

** The Title **

Often times you may not even come up with a good attention grabbing title until after you have finished your article. If you have a general idea of what your article is going to cover it may be helpful later on if you jot down
some ideas right away.

**The Authors Name **

Hey you should be able to come up with this on your own. Include yours just under the title of your article.

** The Body or Content **

By far the most important aspect of your article. The best articles address some kind of problem or concern that readers may be experiencing and are looking for help, guidance or a solution for. If you have identified a bonafide problem take the time to do the research to find a solution for it.

The solution could be in the form of a unique solution you yourself have found, an existing one that few people know about or you could provide several solutions from which the reader can choose the one best suited to their needs.

Some good articles also address concerns of people in certain areas of their life or business for which there is no clear cut solution. If you can present the facts, known or obscure data that will keep a reader informed on the subject or help them come to a conclusion on their own, it will work just as well.

Within the article it is always a nice affect if you can provide some online resources or links that a reader can use to help solve their own problem or gather information from which they can draw their own conclusions.

Keep in mind that you are not writing your article(s) for the fun of it. At least I hope you’ve given some thought to what you want to accomplish using this method. Your main purpose is to get a few if not several hundred of those readers to visit your website so that you can present them with your own offers for subscribing to your ezine, joining your affiliate program, membership site or buying one of your products.

Your efforts should be in presenting a good quality article to the publisher. Take your time writing about the subject you’ve chosen. Clearly the best method of writing on the
internet is a personal, one-to-one approach to writing, write as though you’re talking to a friend or relative you know very well.

** Authors Resource Box **

This is your byline. This allows everyone who reads your article to learn more about you and your business. You’ll include it at the end of your article and it should contain a short description of your site, product or service you offer, along with your url.

It’s the second most important section of your article. Here you can put between 4 to 6 lines of text. This is the only acceptable format for advertising yourself, your website, ezine, product, etc. Describe it in as great a detail as you can get into these few lines.

Publishers will exercise their own judgment and may shorten it to meet the standard criteria they have set for all submitted articles.

Here are some more Quick Tips to remember about writing your article:

- Keep your sentences and paragraphs short
- Use action words throughout your article
- Use examples from your own experience
- Write as though you’re talking to one person
- Personalize your message
- Use plenty of white space
- Use small understandable words
- Use subheadings
- Don’t hyphenate words at the end of sentences

Just one good article on a subject that is relevant to your target market and the target market of the ezine that you’re trying to get it published in, will produce some great publicity for you. Invite publishers of ezines with similar interests as yours to publish the article.

You really don’t want to slant it towards one of your products, an affiliate program or have your own links plastered throughout your article. Just about all publishers I know will recognize that kind of writing as a cheap effort to advertise a product at their expense.

Think about it - if a publisher wanted to see a product, etc promoted in his ezine he would put one of his own in it - not some stranger he has never met. Don’t try to disguise an advertisement for one of your products as an article. Most publishers will see right through this scheme.

The length of your article should probably be between 400 to 1000 words. Any less than 400 doesn’t give enough depth to a subject. Any more than 1000 can be too long for some ezine publishers who try to keep the content of there ezine to a maximum size for purposes of distribution and reader attention.

OK, so you’ve got your article written and it’s a gem and you know everyone will want to read it. Two things you now need to focus on - finding publishers and getting publishers to look at it.

The easiest place to start looking for publishers is in your own email program. Have you subscribed to any ezines? If so how many? If not - why not? If you haven’t
subscribed to a lot of them then you need to “go forth and subscribe” to as many as you can. The reason you want to do this is to build a database of ezines that are similar to your target market and at the same time become familiar with the ezines format.

You can also do a search on google or any of the other major search engines to look for ezines and article directories that your article would be appropriate for.

Here are a few article directories to get you started:

http://www.goarticles.com

http://www.ezinearticles.com

http://www.articlecity.com

http://www.article-emporium.com

Well how do you get your article accepted in ezines?

Guess what? As long as you’re in the writing mood, you’re going to have to write a short email to each publisher and ask them to publish it. Or you can invest in member only sites or software that will automate this process for you.

I’m including a sample email template for you to look at. My experience is that you modify the text and personalize any template to your own style and writing. Using a template as is from a resource like this soon becomes recognizeable and automatically deleted by most publishers who receive it. Use your imagination when you draft your own letter.

——————————————————-
Sample E-Mail Letter To A Publisher

(Your Email Address)

This information should get you well on the road to writing articles for publishing in ezines that meet the criteria for your target market.

I highly recommend it as a way to get more visitors to your website without spending any money on advertising.

People are often put off from joining an MLM or home based business, even though they are interested, as they do not wish to chase family and friends. Having to talk strangers into joining up is as bad for many. When someone is told that you have to put down the name of each individual you are acquainted with, that isn’t what most people like doing and this ends in disappointment and frustration. Not everyone who knows you would like to join an MLM group or mlm home based business as everyone is not enamored of network marketing. Often the family member or friend will be interested in the product but have no interest in its business angle.

What you need to develop are people who already have an interest in a home business. There are several people that are bringing in really good income just by using the internet as their main tool for earning income and just about each MLM will provide their distributors with a free web site that they are able to use. These websites make a good place to lead your good prospects to. What this means here is to get their attention first through an interactive blog, your own website, Squidoo lens through an opt in page or squeeze page prior to promoting your MLM website.

Having your very own blog or website will introduce you first, instead of your company and it is basically a known fact that all of the people that are successful on the internet are marketing themselves first. If you learn how to market your MLM via the internet you will be able to find a large number of business partners whom you would not have come across otherwise. The great thing is that you can train people from all over the world without having to move out from home.

MLM and network marketing are all about working closely together and even though it is on the internet it is still a relationship. Relationships must be built with self generated leads and also the new people brought in on the team. You could be able to use any of the internet services such as Skype so that you are able to talk to people all around the world, completely free of charge and there is always free instant messaging offered by Yahoo, MSN and numerous others. Even a few years ago, it would not have been possible to stay in touch like we do today what with the cost of phone bills being so terribly high.

The internet has opened up by low cost and in some cases free ways to build your own MLM and home business. It does take time to really see good results but just how much time depends partly on the effort put in; certainly no business will build by itself. You may find that it is also worth making sure that you avoid anything that implies or claims that they will build the business for you. One cannot be successful in network marketing by hoping for something from nothing, so do not consider using those services that try to attract only such people. You need to be focused and you need to be determined to succeed if you want to make it big in the home based business field.

To many the idea of working from home is very attractive, especially if you have young children or are in any way immobile. But working at home does not suit everybody and there are some questions you need to ask yourself before you commit to work from home.

First of all there are a number of ways you could work from home. Many big companies encourage it these days, especially if you are in a job which can be performed from anywhere. Equally you could setup your own home based business. This provides many opportunities and you could go online with your own internet business.

First consider where you will work. Is there a spare room or a room you could set aside as an office where you could set yourself up and not be disturbed, or distracted, from normal family life? If not, make sure you set aside your own workspace and that your loved ones know it is where you work.

Next think about what equipment you will need to work from home, whether you can afford it, and how and where you will set it up. It is likely you will need a computer, printer, a desk, an office chair and a reliable internet connection as a minimum. It is as important to consider Health and Safety implications as it would be in a regular office environment.

Next consider the impact on the family or those around you. Set down some ground rules so your loved ones know when you are working and therefore can’t be disturbed. Equally let them know your working hours and stick to them. Working from home has many advantages, but it can sometimes be difficult to switch off at the end of the day, so set your boundaries, including what you are prepared to do, make sure they are fair to everyone and meet everyone’s needs, and stick to them.

Finally, and most importantly, ask yourself whether you have the temperament to work effectively from home. Are you the sort of person who needs the buzz of the office, or do you prefer to get your head down and get on with it. Do you need to get out of the house in the morning, or are you happy to stay within your own four walls every day? Asking yourself these questions will determine whether you will be happy working from home. If you are at all doubtful, don’t despair, are there things you could do to make it work? For instance you may need to work harder on your social life, join a gym or a local networking group.

Asking yourself the above questions before you embark on your working at home will really help you determine whether it will suit you or not, and therefore whether it will work for you.

This post is a sequel of the previously published information about business promotion.

10. If you can walk around a bit during the presentation walk but don’t run on stage. Make small and confident strides. If you keep walking left-and-right across the stage too fast, audiences will get a sore neck. Remember, they are not watching a championship of ping pong!

11. Never overrun your allotted time. Always keep an eye on time. Rehearsing your timing beforehand should help you get this down to around 5 minutes either way. I normally keep my wrist watch in a casual viewing position for me to check the timing.

12. More than overshooting the time, it looks very unprofessional if you finish well in advance. If you do it, you will appear to your audience as someone who doesn’t know very much about the topic of discussion.

13. Once the presentation is done, speak to your colleagues (if they are present) or to the hosts and ask them for an honest and frank review. This is critical for ensuring that you can improve in the future. Also speak to few of the audience members, and casually ask them questions with a view to understand how much of your topic has been learned.

14. If the event was recorded (Video or Audio) asks your hosts to give you a copy of it. It is a good idea to carry a blank CD or DVD and give it to them along with your plastic business cards. This way they will remember to do the favour for you.

15. If there is a response form, take time after the event, and event organizers, go through at least thirty of completed feedback forms in person. This is important, as even if they intend to send an excellent report with all statistics and chart after the event. Because by the time the well-prepared report comes, it will be at best a couple of days later and you would have gone to a different job and forgotten about the specifics of the presentation. So when the event is fresh in your mind, try to gather immediate opinion.

16. Presentations and Speaking are good opportunities to expand your network. So carry good number of your plastic cards and give them to people who ask for it. If it is a produce promoting presentation you are doing, then it is a good idea to even leave some of the cards on the podium for other speakers and people to pick up. Also remember to walk around and socialise with people if there is a lunch/dinner happening after the presentation.

17. How annoying is it to hear a mobile phone go off during a presentation? Before you ask the audience, please remember to switch off your own mobile phone. At times it can be a good idea to do it on stage while you start talking, this way you will give an example and remind to others to do it, rather than having to ask them to do it.

In this someone wants to sell you something. No matter what it is, you can probably find it being sold online. That’s why when you are looking at trying to buy successful websitebusinesses you have to understand what defines a winner, or one with potentialto make money, from a dud. There are many different fundamentals to ponder when weighing the pros and cons of buying an internet business.

website for sale

Beside from the fundamentals to be listed below, the number one factor is the previous sales and profits and the present trend the company is enjoying. You will have a higher probability of success with a site that is growing consistently than one that is perhaps sinking like a stone. Some falling or flat income sites have just been neglected and can bounce back, while others could well be on their way to obsolesence. Be sure to scrutinize the financials carefully.

One of the first fundamentals to look at for a website business already develipoed is their visitor numbers and stats. There are several different statistics that fall into this category including:

• Unique traffic, which tallies how many different people visit a site daily or weekly.
• Page impressions per visitor, which averages how many total page impressions a website had by how much trafficit had, calculating how interested and participatory visitors are on a site.
• Repeat visitors shows the % or quantity of the traffic who come back to a site, which can be an projector of cultivating sales and being a trustworthy informationalsource.

online business for sale

Another key fundamental to consider is the current SEO positioning that an web business has been seeing. Are they showing up on the first page of Yahoo for their specific keywords, or the tenth page? Essentially, the higher the rank the more successfula website will be. And while you don’t have to be on the 1st page of results, anything after the third page of results is going to take more work.

Keep in mind that it doesn’t just matter where a company places out in search engine results, profitability depends on how many people are surfing for a service and if there is potential room for improvement. On the former, this is dependent on the strength of the target market of a specific online business. You have to think about long term and short term patterns for a product. Was the product a fad last year and now is dying out, or is it slowly building momentum and more people are bound to be passionate about in the future?

buy an internet business

Per the latter, you need to address the power of your competition. If the product field of the on-line business you are focusing on is very cluttered already and has multiple longstanding and entrenched competitors in their segment, you may not be able to gain much of a market share unless you have an cutting edge service that is a new paradigm. However, if the existing competitors are fairly new, or are mediocre, then your company can seize market share and control much quicker.

These are only a few of the most critical things to consider when purchasing an internet company or attempting to divest your own. Some quick research using common web analytic tools at your disposal can drastically improve your understanding of a company’s potential.

Well written keyword optimized articles are now considered to be one of the best ways to direct targeted traffic to your home based business opportunity website. The recognition of article writing and exchange has surfaced as a opportune way for people to promote and get fresh content for their sites. People who use the search engines want this fresh information too, so the search engines are hungry for new creative articles. Most internet users consider the internet to be one huge database and the search engines also see it as a giant source of information. If you’re considering this subject from the search engine’s point of view, which many people do, then rewriting an article simply means to make the article content unique.

You may wish to write completely fresh, unique content articles in which case there are certain points you need to remember. Determine your topic first and then type in some keywords into a search engine, related to the subject and obtain enough information to write an article. Having a structure to the article is paramount so think about when you read something, there is always an introduction, a larger middle section and a concluding paragraph. The end of an article should be a conclusion giving possible answers or a summary of what has been written and be about four sentences or so long with most are approximately four to five hundred words. They are easier to read if they are split into paragraphs, normally about five and don’t forget to place a resource box at the end with your name and brief details including any links to sites you may have.

Making money online isn’t just about writing articles for your self to promote your own website or business because you could even be asked to write articles for other people’s websites, blogs etc. Let me tell you one of the secrets to writing successful articles. Well, why not use ideas from your own experience, it could be anything but let’s say you enjoy fly fishing and want to tell people how to make their own flies. If you tire of writing about yourself then why not find a small niche market that interests you and write a series based on that subject?

Remember though, to advance your article writing skills it’s imperative to use good writing techniques. By writing a piece every day to get the feel of writing and learn to identify the common problems faced by every other writer will improve your style very quickly. This method works well and that’s the reason why I believe you should remember that the more writing you do, the more effortless and productive it will become. Whatever system of writing best suits you, because I cannot guarantee this one will; stick with it and don’t forget the basics because it’s remembering these that will keep your work consistent and create a steady stream of visitors, subscribers and customers to your home business opportunity.
