wmm editors letter Publishing is a great passion of mine. To create a product that will bring valuable information and lifechanging advice to our readers is an honor and privilege. It is with great pride that I introduce this month’s edition of Website Marketing Magazine. We’ve gathered some of the world’s greatest internet marketers and tapped their brains to gain an insight into what is really required to succeed online. To succeed in any field requires hours and hours of dedication. In fact according to some sources 10,000 hours is the minimum required to master anything – be it a foreign language, learning the piano, or making money online. 10,000 hours – that’s 10 years. We hope to cut that learning curve down for you slightly. After all why learn from your own mistakes when you can model successful entrepreneurs and get there in a fraction of the time. Welcome aboard. To your success, Leigh leigh@WebsiteMarketingMagazine.com

Without passion, you don't have energy; without energy, you have nothing. Nothing great in the world has been accomplish ed without passion. - Donald Trump

How 5 Articles Will Increase Your Inbound Links and Traffic Substantially The first thing you need to know when it comes to getting lots of traffic and inbound links is that your content matters the most. Most people think that they can easily set up a static site with copied content and their site will rank high on the search engines and start getting loads of traffic, this is not what happens. Normally what happens is the site will get hit and miss traffic and most likely it won't turn into any money being made. How would you like to write 5 articles and get lots of inbound links from high pr sites and also get lots of traffic without doing much? Well you are in luck, I have a sure fire way to do just that and the great part is it is all free. You never have to pay anything to get your site ranked high and get lots of traffic to it, all you have to do is a little bit of work here and there.

How it works First you need to write 5 unique and decent articles about your topic. Next you will submit one to EzineArticles, Hubpages, Squidoo, GoArticles, and Buzzle. You will use one link and link back to your website and the other link and link to one of the other articles. The point of this is to pass a little link juice from each article to the other so they can get high on the search engines. The reason you do this is to get pure traffic, the reason you link to your own site is for pure link juice. Once you have written all the articles and linked them to each other you then need to update your site with a new article as well. The reason you need to do this is so people don't think your site is never update, it shows that you are active on the site even if you really aren't. WMM

wmm success story > Ed was about to graduate with an MBA and a carefully thought out 5 year plan. All was not as it seemed… Success Story Name: Ed

MBA Geaduate with 5 year plan Ed was about to graduate with an MBA and a carefully thought out 5 year plan. He decided to get the help of a career coach to get him off to a good start. He and his wife had spent a great deal of time on the plan. They had done research to determine the salary range Ed could expect with little work experience and a lot of college. They were certain about their immediate expectations and the types of companies that would be likely to hire Ed. With what he thought was a perfect resume, Ed was not getting interviews for positions that offered anywhere near the low end of the salary range he expected. There were no recruiters for management level positions responding. He was only being considered for entry level positions. Both Ed and his wife were discouraged but neither of them realized the resume was the problem. When you aren't getting the right kinds of interviews, the resume is almost always the problem. In just one session, it became evident what the resume was lacking. There were many class projects that provided completely relevant accomplishment statements to show Ed's value to employers. In his classes, he had tackled just the same kinds of problems that managers face in the corporate world and some of them were for real world companies. Ed was stuck in the frame of mind that a resume is a job history and thought that "school work" had no place in a resume because he wasn't paid for it. During their meeting, the career coach asked Ed if he spoke any other languages. Ed beamed. He was fluent in French and had used it in business projects. His French language skills were so exceptional that he had received a medal from the French government, one that is very difficult to get. There was no mention of language skills in the resume because, again, Ed didn't get paid for using his language skills and thought it didn't belong in his resume. Targeting multinational companies that would value Ed's bilingual talents and his course work brought on the kinds of interviews that he had originally expected. Ed started his first job out of college at over $20,000 more than the upper end of the range that he and his wife had thought possible. WMM

Organic Link Building - Avoiding Ineffective Ways to Build Links to Your Website With an overwhelming number of website marketing companies diving into the worldwide web, it is absolutely imperative that you, as the consumer, have knowledge about what makes effective link building a part of growing your online business. To grasp the concept of organic or natural link building, the best way is to think of what is closest to natural link building techniques. In other words, think about a company whose business is featured on a television news website or a website that is listed on DMOZ (the most popular online website directory). What comes to mind is reliability and relevance and that is what you want any links to your business to convey - a website worthy of consumer or customer interest. o understand ineffective link building techniques is to start to master the art of website marketing. There are thousands of websites on the worldwide web offering one way links from other online websites that have a high Google PageRank. Your first instinct is to buy the package because the site may offer 10 Google PR5 one way links for $50. However, digging deeper into the actual perspective of the websites that your website is being marketed on, you discover that your business which is a business about automobile detailing is being marketed on a website about blackjack strategies. This will not only not hurt your website marketing efforts but, it could hurt your online reputation and cause you to drop in search engine rankings

Another common ineffective manner of marketing your business is through link farms and free for all websites that offer to give you thousands of links back to your website and also link out to thousands of other websites. Google has identified this type of link spamming to try and get your website ranking up a means by which your website can be significantly penalized in website rankings. This is not the way you want your website to be perceived on the worldwide web! Another very annoying and disturbing way people think they will build links back to their website is by commenting on every blog they see and typing a hyperlink back to their website in the blog comments back. Additionally, the person provides no information that is even useful in the comments back on the blog. They simply spam their website address in the comments and irritate both the blog owner and blog readers. If anything, it will have a negative impact on your search engine rankings and even provoke the right person to post an article about how they have discovered you like to go around and post your website to everybody's blogs with no good reason. The result is you get negative feedback about your business all over the web.

Jeremy Miller, owner of Bugon Website Services The best advice in marketing your business to provide relevant and helpful information on your website that people will find useful when they visit your website. Additionally, when building your marketing efforts, be sure to check out marketing companies that build natural links through search engine friendly manners. Make sure you ask questions about their website marketing techniques and that they do not use robots and automated methods to market your website. Summarizing, 15 minutes of effective online marketing will beat out hours of building junk links or paying a company in India to spam your business all over the web. Keep it simple, offer relevant and useful information to your clients, and build links the right away and you will see an optimal return on your online marketing investments. WMM

wmm ask the expert > The Top Five Questions to Ask When Hiring an SEO Expert Internet Marketing Expert > Michael Ambrosio

Michael Ambrosio has been doing business on the internet since 1999. He cut his teeth as a web host, starting not one, but TWO successful web hosting businesses. He also started a script installation business. Michael is also the author of several ebooks, and the developer of several programs and scripts as well. Michael continues to build his business by learning from other marketers, and also helps many other marketers make their first dollars on-‐line. http://www.mikeambrosio.com If you have had no luck driving traffic to your website, you may want to employ an expert in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). When you start your search for an expert, there are several things you should consider:

1. Start by interviewing the expert. Find out if their style and philosophy will suit your purpose. Give them information about what you want to accomplish and ask them WHAT THEY WILL DO to help you achieve your goals. Ask specifically how they will address your objectives. Are you interested in increasing website traffic, increasing brand recognition, or increasing online sales? Are you planning to push one product or service over another on your website? How will they help you accomplish these goals? 2. Ask for examples of their previous work. Visit the websites they have already worked on and look at the sites. Perform searches with search engines to see where these sites rank on the search engine lists. 3. Find out who will be working on YOUR project. It may not be the person who sells you the service. You want to be sure that you have a good team of people assigned to perform various tasks.

In addition to sample websites, see if you can get actual references to call. Contact names and phone numbers for clients who have already worked with the SEO expert can be quite valuable.

wmm ask the expert 4. Ask for white papers, reports and any documented processes the SEO expert has to offer. What exactly does the SEO expert do for his fee? Is his or her process logical and thorough? You may not be a search engine expert. Nevertheless, if you look at the sequence of their processes, and the activities listed in the SEO process, you may find that your prospective SEO expert is using poor business practices to get information. Or perhaps he or she is recommending unrealistic methods or unscrupulous methods to deliver good search engine ranking. If this is the case, your initially good search engine ranking may rapidly change to NO search engine ranking when you find yourself booted off search engine lists for bad business practices. 5. What will the SEO expert charge for your project? Is it based on a fixed price project or an hourly rate? Will you have to pay travel expenses or other associated expenses?

What is included in the price? You should get a detailed accounting in writing, so that you KNOW what you can expect. Don't buy into the explanation that the price is higher, but there is a 'guarantee' of results.

Even the BEST SEO firms will find it hard to guarantee rankings and results when they don't know what your competitors are doing next and whether new keywords and action will be necessary next month to keep your rankings high. A guarantee of ranking and traffic can, at best, only guarantee results for a particular day or time period immediately after the project is completed, and even THEN it is unlikely the guarantee will be exact in terms of results. There are many other personal considerations you may have when hiring an expert in SEO. However, if you do nothing other than ask these five questions and get the information included in this research, you should be very pleased with the Search Engine Optimization expert you hire. WMM

Sponsor WordPress Templates The Ongoing Link Building Strategy It cannot be denied that one of the most important tools for most bloggers today is WordPress. WordPress basically started as a communication tool for the individual, but has now become an essential tool to businesses as well. There are many benefits that WordPress offers which are why it is not really surprising why practically most web sites require this tool in their web hosting plan. Aside from the fact that this CMS is so simple and easy to maintain, it also offers less overhead and time spent for creation and maintenance of the blog platform. Moreover, it allows you to keep the contents of the site fresh, which results into an increased search engine ranking for your site. Since companies need to keep their audience updated on their products and services, the blogging aspect of WordPress is really indispensable. It is one of the goals of any web site to build links and direct traffic into the site. There are actually a lot of ways to build incoming links. According to experts, sponsoring WordPress themes proved to be a great way to get varied links from various independent web sites. Although sponsored WordPress wouldn't be going on top page ranking sites generally since you don't have control over the theme of the site, you do have control over the anchor text. Having control over the anchor text is not really bad. You can still manipulate traffic into your web site through the anchor text. Sponsoring WordPress template has become one of the most popular link building strategies nowadays. Usually, the package includes two sponsored link theme at reasonable prices. However, things have changed lately, with the inflation and feeding frenzy, many developers have offered sponsor templates as well resulting into an oversaturation of the themes. Unfortunately, on high PR authority sites, these sponsored links are nowhere to be seen. Thus, it is very important to find a sponsor template that will make it even to some of these high PR sites.

For sponsored links, it is important to determine the number of sites which uses the theme. The only thing which counts is the number of site owners who uses the theme and leave in the sponsored links. However, the quality of the theme is vital to the success of a theme sponsorship. A mediocre theme has unfortunately no value at all. Thus, in choosing a sponsor WordPress template, you should consider the cross browser and cross platform compatibility. The absence of these means that quality issues are questionable and unreliable. WMM

The Evolution of Blogs

By Greg scott .

An advantageous tactic used by many a blogger today is to write short and creative blogs. These blogs hardly contain 300-400 words but are quite informative and make it easier for the online audience to read. This thus gives the blogger an advantage of greater audience in the increasingly competitive world of the blogosphere. One of the major constraints faced by bloggers is the fact that blogs seem to only brief an audience about a certain topic without getting into the details.This is caused due to the length restrictions on blogs. Blog writers stick to a pertaining specific field in order to even out the odds. But this can prove to be quite a nuisance as the article may appear shabby or vague and without relevant illustrations. Many a time home gardeners may access these articles and find them non informative.They require an in depth knowledge of botanical sciences whose volume is too large to be covered in a single blog. There has always been a constant battle among blog writers for search engine supremacy commonly referred to as the search engine optimization movement. Thus nowadays blogs are merely colorful and brief collages of words due to the blog sanitization by blog writers in order to achieve a higher listing. This is a persistent and bad trend and is influencing many a bloggers to succumb to the devious method. Blogs have many restrictions compared to real life books which are free from all the constraints. For starters real life books do not need to adhere to using key words many a time to get a higher listing. The book writer can go into comprehensive detail to make concepts clear and increase the level of understanding. The writer also doesn't have to adhere to any space or length restrictions. 3How can you over look the charisma a book showers on us. It is like having a peak back into the distant past when life was simple and reminds you of those blissful care free days without the melancholy of modern day urban life.

NOBODY LIKES A BORING BLOG - HOW TO MAKE YOUR BLOG REALLY SHINE

>> www.GregScottWrites.com

What's the difference between a great blog and one that people click away from? The secret is that a good blog offers its readers value. It's dynamic and interactive, so that it gives its readers more than just some old articles to read. Here are some ideas on how to make your blog a great place to hang out. It's Fresh And Up-To-Date A great blog has new content on a regular basis. This content offers up-to-date information to your readers. You've got to get into a regular posting schedule and keep all the content high quality. Once a blog is going, many blog owners decide to outsource their content creation to an article ghost writer. Why do this? Because you'll be so busy with other tasks that the writing will often become a chore, and they can give you the high quality content you need. The Blog Interacts With Its Readers People don't just read blogs, they interact with them. The more people can communicate with the blog, the more they'll enjoy it and feel like it belongs to them. This is why we put a comments plug-in on the blog and encourage people to use it. But lots of people don't fully take advantage of this. If you really want to make your blog successful, you've got to make it an interactive community. When somebody comments, reply to them. Always keep it friendly and respectful, even if they say something stupid or rude. A simple reply from the blog owner goes a long way. Widgetize And Get Plugins To make it even more interactive, you should take advantage of all the widgets and plugins out there. You can synchronize your blog with Facebook so that your readers can automatically "like" what they see. You can install a "Tweet This" button so that they can instantly talk about your post on Twitter. You can even create a simple membership and profile option for your readers and turn your blog into a social networking site. There is an endless array of stuff you can do to make it more interactive, but one warning - Don't over-widgetize. If you fill your blog full of buttons, widgets and doo-dads, it will only make it cluttered and hard to read. Instead, pick a few really good ones that will offer your readers value. Keep your blog going with fresh content from your article ghost writer and lots of interactive options for your readers. When people see that you offer more, they'll stick around and tell all of their friends about you.

Take Advantage of Social Media to Earn Money

By Luigi Govena Velasco .

Social Media should be appreciated for make variety possible for us. Years ago, we only had limited number of products and services available. By limited I mean if you bought chocolate, it was only chocolate. However as social media enhanced, the chocolate companies found out that each customer has its own preference of the types of chocolate. Some customers prefer their chocolate melted on a wafer and some like to eat coconut with chocolate. Thus Kit Kat and Bounty were introduced in the world of chocolate.

Now that you have become familiar with the basic concept, we will move forward to telling you different ways in which you can use social media to earn money. All rounded communication is not just a phenomenon; it is a feature that can enable you to earn money like never before. Since competition is continuously rising, people want to avail whatever opportunity they can and what better way to provide different kind of opportunities to them than social media? You can earn money through social media in two basic ways which are providing services through social media or providing products through social media. These are two broad ways and a lot of different ways of earning are associated with each way. When earning through service is in consideration, you can use SM as a medium of delivery of the service that you are providing. Whether you have a training institute or a company, a college or a school or a technically assisting company you can now sell your service through Soc. Media. Just make sure that the customer is aware of the fact that your brand exists and your service campaign and marketing is attractive enough to persuade the customer to buy your service. How can you deliver your service? You can deliver your service via video conference, webinars, chat sessions etc. Simply sell your service and earn dollars. The second way is to sell or promote products. For instance, if you are a writer or an author, all you have to do is just create an e copy of your book and an online interface of yourself which would act as a virtual store of your brand. Upload the e book and sell it. You can also do the same for other products but for other products you will need to provide more features to such as a virtual gallery, product view, etc. You can also promote products via SM by doing different kinds of online marketing through SM that will also generate money for you. Be wise and use social media to your advantage, it's not just there; it is there for you to utilize it.

wmm Q & A MARKETING TIP

Getting Backlinks

Article Marketing can be an arduous and time consuming process. How to simplify it?

How many articles do you write each month? I have close to 30 articles written for me every month. I pay less than $10 for a high quality article including the process to submit them. How do you distribute your articles? I use Unique Article Wizard. This calls for 3 versions of each article, but the results are well worth it.

What kind of results are you achieving? Top 10 results are possible for competitive keywords (up to 400,000 monthly keyword searches) after about 120 days. You have to do this gradually, otherwise you’ll get pinged by the search engines which defeats the purpose. WMM

I try to spend as much of my day focused on the tasks at hand. - Leigh Burke

Article Marketing Creating articles and submitting them across the internet is still one of the best ways to achieve high quality backlinks to your website. You control the anchor text and signature box so can direct the link juice for maximum effect. Automation Writing articles by hand and submitting them one by one is so old school. Look to outsource your article writing using a website like elance and then automate submission of your articles using a service like Linkvana, Unique Article Wizard, SEO Linkvine or Rankarama.

wmm back story Chad French is President/CEO of Avlo Media Inc - parent company of the PeerFly Affiliate Network. A programmer by trade, Chad built PeerFly from the ground up using Windows Notepad and $0 in his pocket. Even though PeerFly is only two years old, it's now considered one of the fastest growing performance marketing networks in the industry and is best known for it's high payouts, and an amazing custom platform. 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from? How old are you? I'm 25 years old. I was born in South Florida and raised in North Florida. I'm married with 2 children (6 year old boy & 2 year old girl). My wife is a full time college student at the University of Florida who also works for me part time in accounting. In my free time I enjoy watching weekend football (go Gators!), and mainly trying to spend time with my family. 2. How long have you been in affiliate marketing and how did you get involved? I've been in different types of online marketing since 1999 but didn't really start making good money until 2007 with an incentive rewards site. After selling that business in the summer of 2008 I dabbled in affiliate marketing and made some really good connections with people in the industry, mainly other affiliate network owners. I've been designing websites and programming since I was 15 years old... So, as a programmer, my initial intentions were to create a robust platform and then lease it to the bigger affiliate networks. However, the more I became familiar with everything in this industry the more I actually wanted to run one. It wasn't long before I started writing up a business plan and getting to work on creating my own affiliate network. The word "PeerFly" has no real meaning but I used it as the name because I already owned the domain and I honestly didn't have the $10 to get another domain name at the time. I started building the PeerFly platform in the fall of 2008 and then launched it in December. 3. How long was it before you realized you could live off your affiliate income? It was almost immediately. I came in at a perfect time when we could incentivize rebill offers. The first month in business was amazing. The only overhead I had was a $120 monthly server bill. 4. What has been your biggest success to date? I'd say the absolute biggest success I've had is creating something that is growing roots. Yeah, we're only two years old but we've seen a lot of growth and huge amount of success in our short business life. Our roots our growing and now so is our branches.

5. Tell us a little bit about PeerFly and what you do over there?

cont…

PeerFly is a cost-‐per-‐action affiliate network. We extend the sales force of merchants, service providers, and product owners in the online world for free. They only pay when we deliver results rather than the promise to deliver results. We have nearly 200 client relationships, over 20k publisher accounts, and we're growing at an enormous rate. 6. How many employees does PeerFly has and where are your offices located? This may surprise you but we're actually quite small -‐ only 6 people including myself and we have no central headquarters. We have a small work force due to the benefit of technology. A lot of tasks and stuff that other affiliate networks hire people for, we replace with automated processes (think robots) that do an even better job. We're working on an offer recommendation algorithm right now that will slap your typical affiliate manager in the face. My employees and I all work from the comfort of our home offices. I guess you could say we have 3 offices in Florida, 1 office in Missouri and 1 office in Illinois because that's where all of my guys live! We will probably all come together eventually and start expanding our departments but for right now, things couldn't be any better. 7. There are already so many CPA affiliate networks out there. What makes PeerFly different? True... there are many networks out there. Amongst other things, here are the top 5 reasons why Internet marketers (worldwide) should choose to work with PeerFly: a) We don't have a huge overhead so our profit margins are extremely small which creates the largest payouts. b) Our platform is unmatched and we're always adding new features. Publishers can even request specific CUSTOM features for their account. We have API feeds for everything (offers, stats, earnings). c) We have a lifetime 5% publisher referral program. We've had it since day one and will continue to encourage our publishers to refer others. In 2009 we paid out nearly $100k in referral earnings. d) We'll do just about anything to get your business including taking a negative margin to beat payouts on another network, giving monthly rewards, or helping you setup your campaign on the weekend at 3am. e) NO TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS! We have moved past telephone interviews on new applicants for a ton of reasons but mainly because we have enough tools to detect fraud and plenty of ways to communicate online and we know that everyone hates pressured phone interviews.

WMM 29 8. Do you offer bi-weekly or weekly payments? If so, how much does one have to make to qualify?

cont…

We offer weeklies if the publisher can generate at least $1k a week. We also offer payments upon request (which virtually nobody else does) for a small fee. We pay many publishers every day using the payment request system. We've paid out requests as fast as 8 minutes after submitted. 9. Do you have any exclusive offers that other networks don't have? We have a few exclusive insurance offers (auto, health), a few promotional offers, and we're also currently exclusive with a mortgage lead gen offer. We have a lot of exclusive promotional zip submit offers coming soon. 10. Which offers are performing well on your network? We're huge in promotional e-‐mail and zip submits -‐ probably one of the biggest in the space. Our next largest vertical would be anything lead gen. We're also huge in "As Seen on TV" offers during the holiday season. 11. Which traffic sources prove to be the most effective for your top earning affiliates? Is it E-mail, PPC, Pay Per View, Facebook, Media Buying or any others? Our strongest promotional methods are PPC, PPV, Display and Social (FB, Plenty of Fish). 12. What are the criteria for a marketer to be accepted at PeerFly? How does PeerFly prevent and handle fraud? We accept publishers worldwide although we will deny publishers who don't meet certain standards. We'll take in new industry affiliates (everyone's gotta' start somewhere, right?) but they need to at least know what affiliate marketing is and have some sort of goals in place. Our fraud detection and compliance team is unmatched. Upon registration we require ID uploads from certain countries and automatic phone verification. The data from new applicants are analyzed automatically by our system using over 20 different cross checks into known fraudulent accounts, fraudulently used IP addresses and a whole slew of other monotonous verification checks. After that, we have a full time fraud & compliance team managed by a guy who's awake 24/7 and lives on red bull and a lack of sunlight. You don't want to cross paths with him -‐ it won't be pretty. 13. For those who are interested in working with you and your affiliate network - what's the best way/time to reach you? We have official business hours for phone calls but someone from our team is usually online via messenger at anytime of the day. We also try hard to get e-‐mails answered within 24 hours.

14. What's the difference between a Super Affiliate and an Average Affiliate?

WMM 30

cont…

A super affiliate runs with PeerFly, the rest go elsewhere!:D 15. If you could change one thing about the affiliate industry, what would it be? It would be getting rid of the scum networks that make our industry look like a get rich quick scheme. In addition -‐ getting truly represented by an association who can get us access to the big brands and who will fight for us in Washington when it comes to online advertising matters. Affiliate marketing (I like "performance marketing" better) might be a small sector of online advertising but we're making huge footprints. 16. What do you think about where the industry is going? Where PeerFly may be going? We saw a boom when ring tones were big and a boom during the rebill era but those were nothing in comparison to what types of activity we will see as an industry once we clean up, become more organized, and start attracting the Ford's and Nike's. As for PeerFly, not only do we have big plans in store for our CPA platform but also we will soon be branching out into other forms of traditional online advertising. Look out for Adzur in 2011. 17. What are your goals for the rest of 2010? To make the 4th quarter our biggest ever and to also be prepared for our first ASW show where we've secured a meet market table and booth. 18. What's your favorite movie and why? I have so many favorites and my #1 movie seems to get replaced all the time. However, I really enjoyed Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio and can definitely say that it's in my top 10. Fantastic flick. 19. Give us a little glimpse into what a typical day in your life looks like. I wake up at 8am and get my daughter ready and take her to school. On the way home I usually stop and get a large coffee from McDonald's to help start my day and get me focused (it really does work wonders!). I work from about 10am -‐ 5pm then I take a 2-‐4 hour break to spend time with my family. I work again intermittently until about 2am. On the weekends I try to spend more time with the family but I still find myself working a lot, mostly in the evenings and into the morning hours.
