New Wordpress SEO plugin from Yoast

The secret weapon of many successful online marketers is Web 2.0. You can literally use it to send landslides of free traffic to your business. Many marketers are still unaware of the advantages of using Web 2.0 to catapult your online business. Web 2.0 is part of the here and now, and very much a part of the future!

In this article, you are going to learn the simple steps to generating floods of buyers. Here is the 3-step system:

1. Set Up A Viral Marketing Machine

Video marketing and viral marketing are a match made in heaven. Videos easily go viral if they are top-notch. The best kinds of videos are either funny or shocking. If none of this applies to your niche, you can create a simple Powerpoint video presentation, and submit it to your YouTube. In your video, you’d want to include a watermark of your website link.

2. Create Your Own Web 2.0 Blog

Set up a simple blog through Wordpress or Blogger. Blogs are great traffic generators that you can use to grow your business! Some ways to generate traffic through blogs include pinging, search engine optimization and social bookmarking. You can also comment on other blogs in your niche to get traffic!

3. Set Up A Social Networking Empire

Create an account at Facebook and MySpace and start building up a huge list of friends! You don’t want to forcefully market on social networking sites, that’s not the point. The point is to network at these sites to give your business more exposure!

Web 2.0 Traffic - 3-Step System to Generate Hordes of Traffic From Web 2.0 Sites

I read a recent post over at No Doubt Marketing, where they mention their top three tools. One of them is the Google Website Optimizer, which I have heard about before, and apparently signed up for once, since one of my old sites were listed under my experiments, but have not used in years.

The tool that Google provides free of charge is simple, but very powerful. It enables you to test which design and sales text that works the best.

You start out by defining your start page, and then the page a customer will see once they have completed a purchase. In between, Google Website Optimizer enables you to try out different headlines, images, sales text, whatever you choose, and then it tracks your success rate. It might be with a few simple changes your product sells a lot better, without you having to do anything more than a few tests and then let Google Website Optimizer do all the testing and analyzing for you.

I will be doing a lot of testing on an upcoming project that I am currently working on.

A small spoiler: Automatic deep link building with a Wordpress plugin. There will be both a free version and a subscription version that enables more features. Contact me if you want to know more before I launch the system to beta.

You can see the flash demo of Google Website Optimizer if you want to learn more about the system and how it can help you increase sales.

A little known tool - Google Website Optimizer

I’ve previously stated that the best SEO trick is to start up your homepage(s) and just wait. Don’t ignore it completely, but let it grow gradually instead of waiting to have the search engines index you and get some more traffic.

I’ve started a lot of homepages/sites in my effort to create a residual income on the internet, and my experience has taught me that I should not stress, and just let time do its work.

If you do the base work, and have relevant and interesting content, the rest will come automatically. Link building should obviously not be ignored, but just add a few links gradually, and you will succeed in the end

Getting just a single site to earn $5 a day is, as Courtney writes himself, a success! But having several blogs/sites that does that is even better. Each of my sites are not big earners, but all together they make a decent side-income, and every time I add a site to the portfolio, I know that it will in time add to the earnings.

The bonus with this tactic is that it also makes you less vulnerable. If you base 90% of your earnings on a single site, you are not really very secure. If that site losses its traffic for one reason or another, 90% will disappear. Spread your earnings across several sites, and you will be more secure.

Start several sites, not just one

On the 1st of January I installed Angsuman’s Translator Plugin and look at the results so far:

November 2007: 6,275 visits
December 2007: 4,645 visits
January 2008: 14,530 visits
February 2008: 27,338 visits
March 2008 (so far): 26,797 visits.

It is obvious that March will surpass the previous two months, and yes, I am VERY happy with the results so far.

I should note that I of course also maintain the site itself by adding new fresh content, so it is not ONLY due to the plugin, but I cannot ignore the huge increase the plugin as given me.

Help me sponsor the server costs!

You can have your banner shown for as little as $20 per month! February gave 27,338 unique visitors with 75,277 pageviews. Click here to get more information.

Wordpress translation plugin gives fantastic results

The idea behind the plugin is to automatically provide a multi language version of each of your pages for your users, as well as for the search engines.

The amount of new pages available for the search engines to spider on your site, and one things the search engines love, is big sites.

The site I chose for this test, is one of my fairly well indexed and visited sites, www.photoshoptutorials.dk This is a site which has have been working for itself, and just gradually adding content, and gradully receiving more and more visitors. It currently has about 10.000 pages on it, but with the addition of this plugin, it theoretically has 10.000 x 14 = 140.000 pages.

Other pages have reported a solid increase in visitors and indexed pages, so I am very curious to see what this will bring to me.

I have now generated enough data over the last half year or so with the page as it is now, and I should be able to see if and when this plugin kicks in.

I will write a status back in a few months, to report what kind of progress there has been.
