Are You Showing Your Email To Spammers?

When you are new and you start promoting your ads, blogs & websites. The first thing we do is add our website link & emails for prospects or customers to find us.

The problem is if you show your email in your site there different programs that spammers use to find email addresses. After a few days you notice your inbox with hundred of emails "yeah junk maill". Nobody likes to get junk email in their inbox. I don't know about you but, It's very annoying having to spent hours in deleting these emails. I was looking for a easy way to hide my emails and stop spammers on sending my emails.

So,it's simple just add a code that will hide your email address and If your visitors want to contact you,they will click on it and email you. The good thing that spammers can't find them.

So,how to add the "Email me" link?


Text Link:

Lets say,your email id is abc123@gmail.com ,here is the code you have to add

in the beginning add < in the end add > with the code
a href="mailto:123@gmail.com">Email me

It will look like this
Email me


Don't forget to change the email address in the above code to your's.If you want another anchor text(not "Email me"),you can change it.

What does submitting my site to search engines do?

When you submit your website to a search engine, it reads your site meta tags, looks their relationship with the contents, indexes you website and assigns a rank to your site according to the algorithm it follows. You should understand that by submitting your site to a search engine does not mean that you will start getting high traffics just after its submission. This simply means that now the search engine knows about your site and its pages and would place you in its (Search Engine Result Pages) according to your rank in its index.

Google Submission

http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl.

They ask you to submit your top level page for submission. Google updates its index normally from 2 weeks-once a month.

Yahoo Submission

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/.

They have two options free and paid. Free listing takes about 30 to 45 days. However paid listing assures a quick listing of your site.

MSN Submission

http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx.

If you have good inbound links, your site will be picked for listing in MSN even if you don't submit your site to them.

Before submitting your site review your site thoroughly and make sure that your site has no broken or dead links. Write a suitable description of your site to put into the description field of submission form.

No doubt, submitting your site to major search engines and good rank directories help increasing the traffic and that's our goal!!

Do you know that you're site could be banned by Google!

You've seen changes in your ranking. What it could be you're asking yourself?

There several reasons. I'll name a few:


1- Your site banned for over submitting
2- They consider your spamming
3- Your buying or selling link in order to rank higher
4- Have hundreds of websites with the same content



Google has a cool toolbar that you could install in your computer,you may go here and follow the steps to install it onto your computer: http://toolbar.google.com It will save you time in searching the web, searching within a website, checking Google's Page rank of a particular web page.


The easiest way to verify whether your site is banned is to go to Google's website at http://www.google.com and give the search query "+www.yoursite.+com" (with the quotes). See whether any pages from your site are displayed in the search results. If there are some pages from your site, then you can rest it has not been banned. If there are no pages from your site in the results, and you are sure that your pages were listed earlier, then your site is probably banned.


Check it out..let's hope it's not.

Per your request here it is:

When visiting different website or blogs without naming anyone in particular. They simply sell the company as click here to JOIN with a sales pitch from top to bottom of the site. I'm not saying is incorrect but emphasized it in every paragraph doesn't look good. There just Selling the company. What do you read over and over again "my company", "My Products", "we are the best" Join my team" you see it there just selling a product. In most cases there just in the company to recruit or sell a product. If you get to join a sponsor that does this you will get NO RESULTS.

In the other hand you need to market your self and a simple way of doingthis is to become a expert of a particular topic. Just to name one -Blogs:

Tips for Better Business Cards

Don’t Do It At Home
For what you spend on blank microperf cards and the time to get it right, you could pay to have them look professional instead of home baked.

Get your Own Logo
No logo at all looks better than a logo from a clip art book. Same with cards with bars of color or circles. Your card should be you, not something from a can.

Put YOU in the Middle
Your name is the most important part of the card put it in the middle and big enough to see without granny glasses.

Throw ‘em Away When ANYTHING Changes
Don’t be a cheapskate. Spend the bucks for new cards rather than penciling in corrections. Be professional.

Keep it Simple
One phone number and one eMail is enough. Be sure to put your website on the card, too.
Some cards work great without a street address. Do you need it on your card? Why?

Use Both Sides
The back of the card can be used to reinforce your selling proposition. Think of your card as a little newspaper ad. Use both sides.

Stick with White
White, glossy, shiny cards say “Business”. Pastels and swirls say “Avon Lady”.

Never Leave Home Without One
Always carry a supply of cards. You never know. And keep them handy in a ready pocket, not tucked away at the bottom of a bag, so you can present one with a flourish on demand. Keep a backup stack in the car.

Present It With A FLAIR
Practice offering your card with BOTH hands. It makes a BIG impact. You goal is to get people to remember you and save your card. Do that by using both hands.

Very Simple Script....

I found this script simple & precise. It’s very simple, all you have to say is:

“The next time you book a vacation or take a trip, compare my prices. If we are comparable or lower, book through us. If we are higher then book through them.”

Participate in our program in telling others about the benefits and discounts when you have your very own travel sites. If you ate at a great restaurant or saw an excellent movie, wouldn’t you recommend it to your friends. TraVerus Travel rewards you by offering commissions and bonuses for selling travel or refering others.

This too is very simple, all you have to say is:

“Are you planning on taking a trip?

Are you going to book it online?

Would you like to receive a commission?

Would you like to write it off on your taxes?

Great, if I could show you a way to take the same trip, at the same price, earn a commission, and write it off on your taxes, would you be interested?”

How do you generate traffic to your website/blog for the Newbies

I know how hard is gaining traffic to your site could be when you're new in the Internet Business World but there is no need to spend a dime.


1.Forums - Chat with other don't just spam your link everywhere saying click here. I don't know about you guys but I find it pretty Rude when someone joins a message board and start advertising there site with out introducing themselves come on. It only takes a couple of seconds just to say hello.

Try looking for forums that some what relate to your site you can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject. Ask a question or reply to someone Else's question and they will soon identify you as being knowledgeable with the subject.

2. Signature - I've notice alot of members missing out this free tool. Are you kidding me this is free when you set up you're profile on any board usually on the top left there's a part that says signature click on that and put your banners and business links there. Every time you comment on someones thread or open one of your own you're Siggy is always going to show up in the button isn't it great!

Also I use use my signature also in my emails. I have a gmail account but I think is similar to the other servers. There is a part usually in your top Right side that says Mail options or Options click on that and look for Signature click and in that space or block Attach a custom signature to your outgoing messages.

3. Free Affiliate Programs - There hundreds that offer free advertising, traffic and free top search engine position.


4. Blogs - There free why not use them to advertise your business too. Remember to Keep updating your blog so its search engine ranking on Google rises. Since it is hosted on Blogger which belongs to Google this will help. Post to as many related blogs by searching online. Leave your URL everywhere.

When you have your blog already published head on over to http://www.pingomatic.com/ and blast it out all across the internet. Do this everytime you update your blog and anytime that you create a new one. Don't forget to also ping your blog at http://www.pingmyblog.com,%20http//www.pingler.com

5. Link Exchange - This is a sure and proven method. Some say it work some don't. You could also ask for a link exchange by sending them a email. There lots of programs that do this for you if you don't have the time to search and contact the webmasters for a exchange. There free tools if you look around.
I use bloglinker.com were other link to you but they need to open a free account with them. Exchanging links also boosts your probability of getting a high ranking in search engine results.

6. Submit your website for free -Try also to submit your blog to 300 search engines and also socialmarker.com (it will submit your blog to more than 160 social bookmarking site available- free of charge)

7. Write and Submit Articles - There are thousands of ezines and online directories on the internet which contribute free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself it only takes less than 30 minutes for a short article. Write something that you have expertise on. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines of the subject your site has. Don't forget to Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your website.

The "thing" is building relationships with people. People join people NOT companies.

8. Brand YOU INC. and show people you have valuable information to share with them you will have succeeded in earning trust and establishing yourself as a knowledgeable leader. That is the goal here: Attraction marketing.


There are absolutely loads of ways you can generate traffic to your website or blog, just use your imagination and make sure you allocate some time everyday to building incoming links you will be surprised how quickly your traffic will increase.

Using Forums To Get Traffic...

Using online forums is a good way to learn more about internet
marketing and to generate some long term, very targeted traffic.

There different forums that you could be a member but if you are looking for very niche specific forums where you may be able to connect with people of similar interests outside internet marketing go to google, yahoo or any search engine and type what you're looking for.
Example: Moms Forums, Business Opportunities Forums, Tech Forum, Travel Forum

If you have not participated in any online forums then I recommend
you do so on your daily activity. Consistency is the key here,
and by logging in and answering some other members questions you
will begin to generate clicks to your website.


Forums are great places to expand your knowledge also. It is not all
about getting traffic as you will be picking up a lot of great tips along
the way.

The main purpose of this type of marketing is that you are allowed to
put in a signature file at the end of your comment.

This has multiple benefits,


1. Allows members to click through to your website and see your offer.


2. Builds up incoming links to your website/domain


3. Forum posts are picked up by search engines


4. Build your reputation by helping others.




It's very simple and easy start now. I'm a member of Home Based Business

Don't let others steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs! Protect them for Free!!

I want to tell you about one program that I have used that has produced the most traffic and sign-ups to my business by far. I can honestly say that 65% opt-ins have come from this single way of promoting. That program is called Viral URL.

Besides being the best List Builder and Opt-in Mailer, Viral URL offers many other built-in products to help you build your business. So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit. That is why you need to protect your website or product links with a Link Cloaker and tracker.

Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can create a lot of problems too! If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link does not function then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which will definitely put him or her off.

You could be a victim of even a worse situation. What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs. If they do that, then you get no commission at all.

Did I scare you off with all of the above possibilities? Well, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to open your eyes and state facts that actually happen in the world of Internet Marketing. It happened with me until I came across ViralURL , that brought a revolution to my online ventures.

Social Media Marketing Ideas

There are other methods of social media marketing available for your use.

Blogs isn’t the only way to enhance your business and get a constant flow of leads. Other methods you can explore include:

1) Social Book Marking Sites- It’s also usually the quickest way to get your content read. Use Digg, Delicious, Reddit and Technorati to bookmark your own blogs.

2) Community forums related to your business

3) Social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace, and LinkedIn.

4) Video-sharing sites such as Youtube, Metacafe, Google videos, Yahoo videos, and AOL videos.

5) Content sharing sites such as Squidoo, Hubpages, Wetpaint, Qassia, and Google Knol.

These days, you shouldn’t just limit yourself to one thing. With the Internet as vast as it is, you should use every opportunity to make new contacts and establish yourself.



Doing this will help you establish credibility now and in the future.

Old school prospecting techniques

If you've done network marketing the "old school" way, you've probably
been through ---- like I have. When I started Network Marking close to 5 yrs ago. I did everything that any newbie do, but you know what it didn't work

I use to:

-Promote how great my company and products were.

-Begged and convinced people to join my business.

-Edified my upline and attended every hotel meeting.

-Didn't turn profit after years

And I was ignorant enough to follow my upline's advice.

And then…

I found the "Secret Formula"revealed to me by top industrial earners.


You can do it too... once you know how.

((No more))

- Cold calling
- Begging your friends and relatives to support your business
- Dragging people to hotel opportunity meetings
- Wearing buttons, printing flyers and placing cards on car windscreens

When joining I'll show you effective ways to drive people to you immediately.

Free & Effective Ways to Market Your Home Business

• Post free ads for your home business on Craig's List
• Promoting your home business through Google Video or YouTube
• Give a free seminar as an expert on your home business' specialization

Here are several suggestions to help.

• Talk to people. The woman next to you might just be a customer. Find out what they do, and eventually they’re likely to ask what you do. I know of several businesses who brought in significant new business through just such conversations.

• Good Customer service. Send thank you notes to clients. Do follow-up calls. Always be cheerful, friendly and professional. By providing exceptional customer service, not only do you get repeat business, but also you get the best marketing tool of all—word of mouth. Word of mouth happens most often when individuals feel a connection to a company. You can create that connection, and your customers will sell your business for you. A way to keep this synergy going is to offer customers a discount for each new referral that utilizes your service.

• Sponsor Events.A great way to spread the word about your business is to sponsor events in your area. There are many games, events, charity drives, little leagues, etc... That are just waiting for people like you to give a little bit of your money to help out You will usually get your business name on a T-shirt, a sign, a flyer, or something else related to the event. A lot of people will be seeing these events and YOUR business name. It’s a great way to drive local traffic to your online business website or offline business if you have one.
  

• Blog.Having your own business blog can be a great marketing tool. With a blog you can quickly and easily offer free business advice, information, fun stuff, resources, tips, or anything else you want. If you have a very interesting and/or informative business blog people will keep returning for the great stuff that your blog offers. Update it with fresh info and you can build a strong following fairly quickly. I have used this marketing technique successfully for the past 2 yrs.

What's the number one secret to having your own homebased business?

Home-based Business Tax Breaks

Your pursuit of a lower tax bill has ended. As the owner of a home-based business, you have tapped into a gold mine of tax write-offs. It's true that Congress has slammed the door on many tax shelters; but, the ultimate tax shelter is still standing as strong.

Your own business - especially if you work out of your home - is all the tax shelter you'll ever need. So long as you are actively building your business, you can convert many of your otherwise nondeductible personal expenses into legal tax write-offs. Almost anything you spend money on, if you're self-employed, can be tax-deductible, if you plan carefully and keep detailed records.
Take advantage of every tax benefit the law has to offer. Click on any of the topics for tax and record keeping information.

Tax Laws are subject to change.

The content provided on this site is for information purposes only. It is ultimately up to you to be aware of the current tax laws.

Presentation

Presenting your business opportunity can be as simple as you want it, or as difficult as you want it. Of course, you'll be more profitable if you keep it simple. Here's the rule that should never be broken.

Don't ever present the opportunity without using the systems


Tools Websites Brochures or Booklets

Recorded Telephone Presentation

Fax-on-Demand

Audio Tapes or CDs

Conference Calls

Local Meetings

Previously we learned to ask someone for 15 minutes of their time. That is so easy to do. But what do we do when they say, sure? Yikes! What do I do now?

I don't even know this business myself yet , you might be saying to yourself.
That's okay. In fact, you usually have more success when you can't explain it yourself. The people who use the tools have the most success. So we'll show you how to use the tools. This is so easy you are going to wonder if it really works. It does. Read on.

Your friend says, What's this all about?

That's the one question you are dying to hear! Now is your opportunity not to say a thing! Just point them to one of the tools you have that explains your business.

The key is not to explain it yourself. Your company and upline went through great lengths to develop these systems, so when someone is listening to the presentation they can be thinking,
I can do this.

You could fax the fax-on-demand info to someone while they are listening to an audio overview. Or give them your website address and tell them you'll call them back in 60 minutes (or take them through a tour of the site over the phone).

Some people set up a meeting for coffee and go over a brochure. Yes, that in itself can be a system. If you know these people will be good if they listen to it, you might send them an audio tape-CD.

Some people have parties to sell their product. You can also invite them to meet at a local hotel or restaurant.

Do whatever you feel comfortable asking. And what you think they'll feel comfortable doing. It's that simple. That's all I do, even now, after over 10 years of success.

When they've seen everything, I ask the simple question,
do you see an opportunity here?

If they say yes, I ask them,
is there anything stopping you from getting started now?
And then get them signed up online, by phone, or fill out the forms. How you ask is not as important as that you ask.

But those two lines are very, very effective. Try them.
If they are not ready yet, get them on a conference call or one of the other systems they haven't seen yet. Usually, people need to know that they are not alone in the business.

Referrals

My favorite method in the world for building the business is through referrals. I do this almost every day. Referrals are very easy to get if you know how to ask for them. And they are the easiest in the world to work, for reasons I'll explain in a minute.


How to Get Referrals

Asking for referrals will become a habit for you. You'll find yourself asking for them at two times during your contact with people.

1. Before they know anything about your products and/or business.
2. After they've learned everything about your products and/or business.

You can approach someone who has never heard of the business by using the referral approach.

"Mark, I've started a new business. I'm opening up this area for a very respectable company. We're looking for some sharp people who want to make some money. There's residual income involved, too.

Could you recommend some people who might want to help me out on a part-time or full-time basis?"


Now Mark is going to say one of three things:

1. "No," in which case you thank him and move on.
2. "Yes," in which case you take names, numbers and notes about the peoples' backgrounds.
3. "What about me?" in which case you smile and introduce him to your products and business.

Can you see the power in asking for a referral that way?

You don't have to use the script I just gave. Use your own words.
Someone else might say, "I've started a new business that is making people in other states some pretty good money.

Do you know of anyone who would want to help me build this business?"

The other method for getting referrals is after someone has been over the entire system with you and says something like, "It's a good program, I just don't have the time."

I'll usually respond by saying, "Kate, let me go to work for you. Why don't you get started with our company, and give me the names of ten people who you would call if you had the time. I can't promise you they'll get involved, but if they do, I'll put them in your business group and help them with the business." You potentially just got ten more names from someone who wasn't interested. I do this all the time.


Why Referrals Work

Referrals are the most powerful method of recruiting because of the psychological edge you get.
When you talk to someone you know they trust you, and they also know you enough to not be polite all the time. Sometimes the people we know best take us for granted. They know our bad side as well as our good side.

When you call someone as a referral, they trust the person who referred them and that brings instant respect for you. And since they don't know your bad side, and they want to be polite, they'll listen to you more attentively.

The secret! Here's an important part of the referral process. When you call someone from a referral, give them a genuine compliment that you received from the referring person. People love to know that other people are talking about them in a positive way. This builds massive rapport, very quickly. Make sure the compliment is genuine and you'll be on your way.
For example, "Jim, I got your name from Craig Ellis. He said you were one of the most successful insurance reps in this area and that you handled your business with integrity. I'm calling about a new business we are starting.

Do you keep your options open?"

Referrals are a lot of fun. You get to meet people you never would have met before, and because you are talking to the top of their list, you get to meet exciting successful people. Always use referrals. Teach referrals, too.

You and your group will never run out of names.
