“I’ve seen marketers make stupid statements before but the other day, over at the Warrior Forum, I saw what was probably the stupidest statement ever. I am talking about relevant backlinks. The person who started the thread claims that the only backlinks that are relevant to your site are ones that come from sites that are in the same niche. In other words, if you have a site on home repair, the only backlinks that are relevant are the ones that come from other home repair sites. If you believe that, I have some land to sell you…cheap.”

“To know why Adsense is essential for your content sites is to know first how this works.

The concept is really simple, if you think about it. The publisher or the webmaster inserts a javascript into a certain website. Each time the page is accessed, the javascript will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads that are targeted should therefore be related to the content that is contained on the web page serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the search engine for the click.”

“When I am discussing an Internet marketing project I am building for a client, I always discuss the tools I plan to use. The Internet has become the No. 1 source of reference material used for practically any project of any size. Well, it has at my house anyway.

Perhaps people still go to the library for research. Certainly, they have books that are not available online, at least for now, so the library would be a good resource for some projects. But for most of us, the Internet answers our questions.”

Before you leap into Cyberspace and begin to design and develop your “Internet Presence,” you must first ask yourself one important question that, when answered correctly and honestly, will help you avoid costly Online Marketing mistakes!

Do people really want to buy my product or use my services?

One of the biggest mistakes in marketing today is selling what you think people “need.” This is the quickest way to go broke! To successfully market your products or services on the Internet today, you must first:

Find out what people want – then sell it to them!

Different markets have different “hot buttons.” That’s why knowing who your market is, is so important before you begin selecting a product or service to offer them. And knowing what motivates people in your market to buy is powerful knowledge.

Success in Online Marketing is almost always market driven (sell products people want to buy) rather than product driven (sell products you want to sell.) The more you find out about what interests your market, the better your chances will be of coming up with a successful Online product or service.

A good way to find out what your market wants is to look at what they are already buying. Learning the recent purchasing patterns of consumers will tell you a great deal about what he/or she is currently interested in, and what kind of products or services he/or she will probably be buying next.

This “little known secret to Internet profits” is what all successful Online marketers follow: find the “want” first, and then find a product or service to fulfill that want!

Too many people fail at online when they create products or services they like and then try to find someone to buy it. This is the definite path to Online business failure.

But if you focus on providing people with simple, understandable and helpful products or services that will satisfy any of their “WANTS,” your Website should be a success!

TIP: The typical Web Site Designer (a techie) knows very little about marketing. So your knowledge of Direct Response Marketing techniques and strategies will give you an incredible advantage when you begin promoting your Website on the Internet!

“When brands sit down to evaluate what they’re doing online and in the mobile channels, the first realization they have is that what they’re doing is usually not up to snuff with the massive amount of online usage that their consumers are engaged with. And more often than not, they also grapple with what their peers and competitors are doing in these spaces as well.

It’s all fine and dandy, as brands continue to try to out-design their competitors, but the digital landscape continues to evolve. And there’s a bigger, scarier realization that comes with just a little bit of scratching beneath the surface: Your website is not important any more.

Becoming a publisher of content online is what the digital channels are really all about.”
