Traffic With Yahoo Answers Wealth Masterminds Society Yahoo Answers is a source of very targeted traffic that many marketers overlook. The time involved with it and the ease with which it appears Yahoo ban people puts them off. The basic premise of Yahoo Answers is that people ask questions and other people answer them. Think of it as an advice board, if you like. Some of the questions are bizarre, some peculiar, whereas others are normal. The quality of answers varies too from the single sentence, to the rude to the outstanding. The latter is the type of answer you want to be providing. Firstly, people are only banned if they abuse the system and provide consistently poor answers. So long as you stay on the right side of their terms of service and provide good quality answers you will have no trouble keeping your account. People have had the same account for years and have accumulated thousands of points, whereas others lose theirs in a few weeks because they break the terms of service. The key to succeeding with Yahoo Answers is to find questions that you can answer and your website provides more information on. The benefits of Answers are threefold. 1) You gain traffic from people reading your answer 2) Your answer, if chosen as the best answer, will rank in the search engines and get traffic directly 3) You can get a backlink from your answer which will boost your sites rankings. As Yahoo Answers is considered an authority site by the other search engines, having links from it are considered highly relevant and very beneficial. You must do an advanced search to find the best questions to answer. Search only questions opened in the last 7 days with your keyword. This will give you the most relevant questions. You then need to go through each question and find the ones you can answer well. In order to keep your account and to get voted as the best answer, you need to provide high quality answers. This means reading the question thoroughly and understand what is asked. Start your answer with a greeting, e.g. "Hi there" or "Hi, thanks for your question". This instantly makes your answer stand out from the crowd and will start to build a relationship with the questioner. Then provide your answer and sign off with something equally friendly such as "Hope this helps you out" Wealth Masterminds Society

and then sign out with your name. You should only put your link in your answer directly if it has been asked for. Putting your link in every answer is likely to get your account banned. Your link needs to go in the resources box below. Don't worry, it will get seen and clicked on, particularly if your answer is voted the best answer. Yahoo Answers provides a very good method of generating targeted traffic through to your website. It works well for most types of sites and some people earn decent money just from Yahoo Answers. Use it well and wisely and you can receive many benefits from it. Using Web 2.0 To Explode Your Traffic Web 2.0 technologies are taking the Internet by storm. They have captured the hearts and minds not only of Internet Marketers, but of their target markets too. More and more people are using Web 2.0 sites to either connect to their friends and family or to create their own hobby or fan sites. These technologies can be extremely important in your traffic generation strategies because it allows you a method of direct contact with your target market. Done well, web 2.0 technologies can provide you with thousands of visitors plus a valuable boost in the search engine rankings. There are hundreds of Web 2.0 sites, with more cropping up every day in more focused niches. These are the sites that are of particular interest to the Internet Marketer as you have a tightly focused niche of people who would be interested in your product or services. Of course, you can't just walk into a Web 2.0 site and start promoting your product. Doing this will get yourself shot down in metaphorical flames. Marketers who do this quickly find themselves hounded out of the market. When you use a web 2.0 site you have to use it like you would a list. You have to establish yourself in the niche as an expert, someone to listen to and who knows what they are talking about. Sometimes this means being yourself, other times you may have a pseudnym. Whatever the case, you need to spend some time understanding the group and the market so that you can appeal to them in the best way. Be helpful, provide valuable information and you will soon be viewed as an expert. Once you have established yourself as an authority figure you can easily promote your products and services as people will link your expertise with them. It allows you not only to promote your products, but to promote products as an affiliate. Wealth Masterminds Society

One word of caution is to not spread yourself too thin. Working on a social networking site to establish yourself as an authority can take a lot of your time and if you try to work on too many, you find yourself unable to do enough on any of the sites. Pick just a couple to focus your attention on, one niche site and one general site. Other web 2.0 sites allow you to create your own websites. Some of these frown on overt commercialism, whereas others are pretty much a free for all. This type of site is best used to push your product or information site up the search engine rankings. You create sites on web 2.0 properties using unique content based around your keywords. You then create active links through to your own website. You do some simple promotion of these properties (pinging, social bookmarking, etc) to give them some link juice, and then they will work to boost your website in the search engine rankings. Whilst this doesn't give you direct traffic, it will give you a leg up the organic search engine rankings. This will help to further increase your traffic. Plus, the additional benefit is each of these Web 2.0 properties will rank in their own right and get traffic, some of which will be passed on to your main site. Web 2.0 sites are an incredible method of getting traffic. If you use them properly and spend the time on them, they can help you get thousands of additional visitors for free! Why On-Page SEO Is Vital For Traffic Many marketers get so caught up in the stampede for traffic that they spend all their time building links. They forget that one of the most vital parts of SEO are the on page factors. These are not complex for you to do and are something that should be fundamental when you create a new site. Wordpress is an ideal platform as it typically lends itself well to search engine optimization. The first step is for you to ensure you have set your title tag correctly. This needs to be 64 characters in length. Any longer and it will be cut off and this will look very odd in the search engine results. The title tag needs to tell people what your site is about in such a way to entice them in to your web site. It needs to include a keyword that is specific for the page the title tag is on. Every page on your website should have its own unique title tag. You should never use the same title tag on every page. Next are your meta keywords and meta description. These tell the search engine spiders what your site is about. They are not massively important to the search engines, as most of them will analyse your site to see what it is really about. These are important if you are using Adsense as without these meta tags in place, you find your Adsense Wealth Masterminds Society http://wealth-masterminds.venicompanies.com

ads are not focused on your niche. The meta description is important because it appears in the search engine results. It is 150 characters for you to get people to click on your link and come to your website. You need to be concise and enticing in the same sentence. Your meta keywords and description should also be unique for each page within your site. Any images on your site have what is known as ALT tags. These are tags which provide an alternative description for the visually impaired. These are noticed by the search engines and can get your images ranking well. Make sure you do not attach the same keyword to too many ALT tags and add the word graphic, picture, image or something similar afterwards. This will again help tell the search engines your website is relevant for those keywords. On top of this you can include your keyword in the header 1 (h1) tag on your page, i.e. the title in the text. This is another indicator to the search engines that your site is important for that keyword. Using your keyword well within the text of your page and including related keywords around it will also help your site rank. You must make sure you do not spam or keyword stuff any of your pages because it is a surefire way to get yourself dropped from the search engine results. By performing some simple on page SEO optimization you can gain the advantage in the search engines. Remember that not all marketers do this, and this can put you ahead of your competition, which is vital for your profitable success. Writing A Traffic-Pulling Article As marketers, we are told that we should be article marketing. It is how you make money as an affiliate, it is how you promote your websites and it is how you add content to your virtual real estate empire. Many people find article writing difficult to do because they are not used to writing. If you have the money, it can be outsourced. However, for many people starting out online, money is tight and so they can't afford an outsourcer. You can get articles written for a couple of dollars, but they are likely to be very poor quality. For a decent 400 to 500 word article you are looking to pay around ten dollars, possibly more depending on the niche and the author. You can write the articles yourself, and it's not that difficult to do if you follow a system. Many people suffer from writers block or are just not used to writing an article. It can be very daunting to sit down Wealth Masterminds Society http://wealth-masterminds.venicompanies.com

and write if it is something you are not used to. Below is a system that works very well, it is one I use myself and you can be writing high quality articles surprisingly quickly with this technique. It really isn't that hard and it enables even the most novice of writers to create decent articles rapidly. Step 1 : Decide upon the niche you are writing in. Step 2 : Determine which keyword(s) you are targeting in your article. Step 3 : Determine the subject your article will be about. Step 4 : Type into Google some of your keywords and see what problems and issues people are facing in that niche. What do they want to know? What is their pain? What solutions are they looking for? Step 5 : Write a powerful, interest building title with your keyword at the start, if possible. Step 6 : Write out four or five short sentences about the problem (don't give away too much ... you want your reader to buy). Step 7 : Turn each sentence into more descriptive paragraphs, remembering not to give away too much information. Step 8 : Write a paragraph introducing the article at the top. Step 9 : Write a paragraph summarizing what was in the article at the bottom. And there you have a good quality, unique article that you could spin or just submit to an article directory or use on your website. Content is king on the Internet, and unique content provides you with an edge over the competition. This method will help you to quickly write articles, and it won't be long before you can write a high quality article in under ten minutes. With practise, you will be able to do them in five to seven minutes easily! And remember the more articles you have out there, the more you can potentially earn!
