Low Budget SEO Simplified!

June 13th, 2007 by earnfromhome

According to Wikipedia it is estimated that there are 11.5 billion web pages in the publicly indexable Web as of the end of January 2005!

And that was 2 and a half years ago!

No wonder, everyone is so keen on mastering Search Engine Optimization which is more commonly called SEO.

People nowadays have been using the word Google, no longer just as a noun, but also as a verb!

If there’s anyone needing any information on anything, what do you say? "Just Google it!"

Many internet entrepreneurs have made huge incomes through the proper application of the SEO principles.

To be included in the top 3 pages in major search engines is the goal for businesses. Being there is to enjoy the "foot traffic" from people who are looking for your products or services and most probably ready to spend money at that very moment! And big companies are paying top dollar to be in front of the 1 billion internet users at the right time — when they are ready to buy.

All entrepreneurs know that but there are deterrents to actually applying this mysterious SEO "stuff":

1) "Do I have the time to learn about SEO?"
2) "Do I have the time and money to go through ‘trial and errorS’?" Please take note of the capital S, to highlight the possibility of massive amount of errors. :-)
3) "Don’t I have better things to do to build my company than trying to understand the constantly changing SEO management?"

One major concern of netrepreneurs or many brick and mortar businessmen who sell their products and services online is the cost of launching a search engine optimization campain.

And of course, "will it really make a difference to my business?" After all, what matters most is the bottomline.

I found a a company that offers cost effective economical and affordable website search engine optimization solutions.

It’s very obvious that they do care about the entrepreneurs’ cost. They call their company Discount Click.

Nice name! You get your clicks at a discount.

According to them, they can bring targetted traffic to your site using "less competitive thus lower cost" keywords in order to keep your cost within your budget.

Discount Click uses advanced analytics software to help companies with low budgets to rank 1 domain with 1 page from 5 to up to 15 keyword phrases.

I like the way Discount Click explains how they are do it.

As I read their website, they offer their online marketing services for low entry fee and with no long term contracts too.

With almost 8 years of experience (I checked with dnscoop), I think they know what they’re doing when they dare guarantee satisfaction in the improvement and increase in search engine rankings and traffic.

Another thing that I found out is that Philips lighting — THE global Philips lights (!) and Blogsvertise are 2 of their many customers.

They also offer List Management Service, Ad Serving Service and Banner Marketing Services among the other online marketing solutions that they offer.

I think the cost of consulting with an expert as far as SEO is concerned is actually more economical than launching a marketing campaign with limited SEO knowledge. Especially if the Professional SEO Services being offered can be tailor-fit to your budget.

Instead of asking "how much will it cost me to do it?", maybe the question that businessmen should ask is "Can my website afford not to have the traffic?"

Payouts?

Hi, everyone!

As promised, here are the latest on my experiments.

I revisited the websites of the 3 HYIP programs that I placed a small amount on.

1)  But as of this writing, the $100 that I tried to withdraw is not yet deposited into my e-gold account.

We’ll see later if my e-gold account will receive the transfer from them.

I’ll let you know tomorrow. :-)

2)  So, I guess, you will know the result tomorrow when I write about it here. :-)

3)  I clicked on "withdraw" and requested for $20 to be transferred into my e-gold account.

As of this writing I’m waiting for the money to show up in my e-gold account.

This is a real experiment so that the public may know.

You will definitely hear about the latest as soon as I have something.

Cheers! 

High Risk Merchants? I Found a Credit Card Processing Solution!

June 12th, 2007 by earnfromhome

Everyone knows by now that the internet offers very good business opportunities.

Many have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions online.

But for many who want to get a piece of that action, one vital piece to put your stake on the internet marketplace is having your own credit card processor.

I’m sure many of you or your friends have experienced difficulty in getting merchant accounts for several reasons:

1) their business is considered "high risk";
2) they are operating in a country considered as "high risk" or unacceptable;
3) charges are exhorbitant!!!

I have a friend who could not, until now get a merchant account.

I’m glad that finally, we came across Advantage Processors.

Advantage Processors is a company that offers high risk credit card processing. What I find interesting and even exciting about this company is that it appears to be a complete merchant solutions.

It is offering more than just the merchant account and credit card processing for major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diners. They also provide the "shopping cart link" and "site enablement". I think these are value-added features that most entrepreneurs would appreciate considering that most of us are the non-techie types.

I find their website easy to navigate and very easy to understand too. I’ve seen websites of other credit card merchant account processors and honestly, it was so hard for lay people to understand all the technical jargons.

What appeals to me about Advantage Processor is that it looks like they are concerned with their clients’ success. They have one section dedicated to explaining enlightening information to lay people like how to Get the Best Rates for Credit Card Processing and Tips for Lowering Chargeback Fees.

And by the way, do you know that there are several types of Merchant Accounts?

I think it’s actually better for us entrepreneurs to understand the ins and outs of credit card processing. Who knows, some of you might be paying for higher fees that you actually shouldn’t.

Here’s their Tutorial on Merchant Account Processing. Hope this will be helpful.

My friend actually filled up their application form. We’ll see what happens next. I’ll keep you updated with my friend’s application.

Do you find this post helpful? Please give me your feedback. Thanks!

I Will Make a Difference

June 12th, 2007 by earnfromhome

I came across this material today. It was sent to me by a very good friend and I want to share this message to all of you.

I think it will help any entrepreneur to be reminded of our Life Missions. We can be sidetracked at times by our goals & temporary setbacks in life.

What are we here for anyway? 

Today I Will Make a Difference
by Max Lucado

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It’s OK to stumble… . I will get up. It’s OK to fail… . I will rise again. Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships. Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.
