Viral Marketing

This is a very short post on using viral marketing to increase the effectiveness of your social media strategies. Check out this viral tweetergetter system! Apparently, this viral marketing tool using social media giant, Tweeter.com is great. I received an email from Jinger Jarret and I really respect her judgement on internet marketing topics.

Use the promo links below to get the most out of the system and send your twitter following soaring! I just found this site that shows you a way of getting 1000’s of new followers on twitter, I just started using it myself and its starting to work already.

Thought it might interest you.

If you don’t believe me and my opinion, just take a look at what some of the internet’s leading marketing guru’s are saying about TweeterGetter.com:

“I promise you, if you don’t get a Twitter account today and start using it you’re going to KICK YOURSELF in the near future. You just wait and see”.
- John Reese

“If you don’t have a Twitter account, you really should get one, because Twitter is honestly the next big thing. Don’t miss out on this while it’s still new.”
- Brad Callen

“Why wait another minute to get started using Twitter when you know you could be building your lists, building relationships, selling more products and services and building your credibility faster”.

The Internet offers many means of affordable marketing with auto responders. Here are a couple of popular ways of using them.

DIRECTORY
Some webmasters set up link or article directories on their sites. They create a directory on a specific industry topic, placing their own ad or banner along the top. Then they invite others to add their website links via a link exchange program, listing themselves in your directory. Or they invite articles to be submitted that include a resource box at the bottom of each with a link to the author’s website. This results on increased traffic as sites link up across the World Wide Web. Enter “link exchange software” or “article directory software” into a favorite search engine for help with each.

TEACH A COURSE
Some marketers write up a simple step-by-step instructional class in their area of expertise. Then they break it up into smaller portions or messages and set them up in an auto responder as email messages, including short ads within each message to invite sales & website visits. Then they invite website visitors to sign up through on online form or email subscription address offered through the auto responder service. As people sign up, they will learn more about the products and services through the teaching series.

Top sales pros confirm that it often takes seven or more communications or sales messages before prospective customers make a purchase. They also confirm that it’s generally easier to sell to a referral, because someone they know gave positive testimonial about their products or services.

What would happen if you combined both of these powerful ideas? A nifty and thrifty two-step. Try this two-step tip:

1. Collect leads with your auto responder. Ask for mailing addresses and telephone numbers, too, for additional ways to follow up with each person. When you download the e-mail digest of everyone’s e-mail addresses and other information from those who requested additional information from your auto responder, follow up multiple ways. Send postcards. Call. Mail sales letters and other promotional pieces.

2. Publish a price list of all the products and services that you offer in an insert, direct marketing package and / or .pdf to be made available via auto responder. You could also include order forms, product descriptions, and other sales material. Then send to the people in #1 above with monthly updates, announcements of new sales and products / services, and a request for referrals.

So why not improve your closing ratio and reach out even farther at the same time? Do the two-step!

I recently changed web site hosting companies, leaving 247host over to Hostgator.com, the worlds #1 rated web host. I remembered to change my name servers from 247Host over to HostGator for my primary website at Internet Marketing Strategies; however I forgot to update my DNS setting for my plr products website. Stupid! I know but I soon realized that when searching for some of my main keywords for my direct marketing website, that my site was no longer turning up for some of my previously high search engine ranking keywords for PLR products, plr ebooks, info products. No problem I thought. Maybe I just wasn’t on page 1 anymore. Much to my surprise I wan’t even on page 3 (nobody goes beyond page 3!).

Have you Been Dropped from Google’s Index?

How to tell if your site has been indexed or dropped from a crawler-based search engine like Google, Yahoo! MSN Live or Ask you ask? Just go to the search engine in question by typing the url into the address bar of your browser, like http://www.google.com. This should pull up the search engine’s home page. Then place your cursor into the search box and type the following command in the search box: site:your-url-here.com (see picture below).

For example, in my situation I was wondering if my search engine results page “SERP” for my main keyword “plr products” had just fallen out of the top 3 pages and thus just too much work to go finding it in the SERP.

I went to Google search page and typed in the command as noted below: site:http://www.uniqueplrproducts.com which pulled up the following results:

Well, there both you and I can see in plain daylight. My direct marketing website, PLR Products has been dropped out of the Google SERP index. This confirms my gut feeling that something had happened when my main keywords from my SEO efforts and linking campaigns initially failed. Using this neat little command in any search engine search box can confirm if your web site has been crawled and included in the search engine index. This may, as seen here, also serve to confirm suspiciouns whether or not your website or webpage has even been dropped from a search engine index.

I guess the moral of the story is don’t forget to update your domain name server DNS settings when changing web hosts!

How to Profit from Buying and Selling Private Label Rights (”PLR”)

I almost forgot about one of my first projects, a direct marketing website reselling Edumund Loh’s “Guide to PLR” eBook. I have read all 47 pages of this great ebook on just what are private label rights and how to profit from private label resell rights.

Be sure to check it out. This ebook sells for $47.00 and I personally recommend that it is totally worth it!

Hey Everyone,

I just came across another great webmaster resource, the AddMe search engine submission tool – and it’s free too!
Just click the following hypertext anchor link “free search engine submission” and you will be taken directly to the specific webpage. Addme is a great tool and I would recommend it to other webmasters.

You will be required to fill in some fields with respect to your desired website title, description, keywords and some other personal contact data as well, so be prepared ahead of time. Then you will be taken to a screen with a list of 20 websites for submission. Personally, I would uncheck Google and leave the rest. I would never recommend an automatic submission to any of the four major search engines, Google, Yahoo!, MSN Live or Ask.com. Why, I am not sure but they appear to frown on it. After a series of free website submissions, my pagerank for this website decreased from PR2 to PR1. Probably viewed as spam I guess.

After this, AddMe requests that you add them to your website as well. You can copy and paste a small bit of HTML code into your website links directory, or blog post. This is what the link will look like below.
Search Engine Submission – AddMe

All the best,

Hey Everyone.

I cannot figure out why getting indexed by Ask.com or Teoma is so difficult! There is precious little in the form of information on the ask.com website. With a little investigation and perseverance, I was able to read their information on their “Website Crawler FAQ” page which led me to this webpage: http://about.ask.com/en/docs/about/webmasters.shtml

Ask reportedly suggests to webmasters that use of the sitemap protocol as the preferred method. Arghhh! Why must they make things so difficult. I have two websites, danieltetreault.com and uniqueplrproducts.com. My personal weblog or blog is in the Ask/Teoma index but not my direct marketing website, uniquePLRproducts.com.

This begs the question, “Why is one of my websites in the Ask.com search engine and not the other?” I found the question on the webmaster FAQ page at Ask. Here it is:

Q: Why has the Ask crawler not visited my URL?
A: If the Ask crawler has not visited your URL, it is because we did not discover any link to that URL from other pages (URLs) we visited.

I used to wonder, “How do you know if your website has been indexed by a search engine?” The best way to determine if the Ask Website Crawler has visited your website on the world wide web is to enter the domain name in the Ask.com search engine box:

So that is what I did and I found that my danieltetreault.com website was included in the Ask database/index AND when using the keywords “Daniel Tetreault”, the SERP provided a #1 position on page one along with one other entry. Interestingly enough the second of two urls listed for the keywords “daniel tetreault” listed another website that was a blog that I commented on some time ago – not to mention the link provided was an HREF or anchor text that Ask.com cites above.

Therefore, this concludes that one of the best or easiest way to get listed on the Ask.com database and indexed to be found on the SERP is to have your link posted on another website that is already indexed by the Ask/Teoma webcrawler. Go to the Ask home page and enter one of your web site’s main keyword. Then look through the Ask SERP page for a blog. Then click on the “VIEW” menu on your browser and select the “Source” tab on MSN’s Internet Explorer or the “Page Source” tab for the Mozilla web browser. Then I press the “Control”+”F” to pull up the find and locate feature to determine if the website uses the “nofollow” attribute to their blog entries (it’s pointless to comment on blogs if this attribute is used as the crawlers will not follow the hypertext links in the anchor text). Otherwise, if you have your own Blogger or Wordpress blog, you can try putting your link with HREF anchor text in as well.

Conclusion: since my danieltetreault.com website is in the Ask.com or Teoma index, the obvious trick would be to place my uniquePLRproducts.com website url in an HREF hypertext link within an anchor text. I will keep everyone posted on how things go.
