Wordpress as a Website platform is quite amazing and if you do keyword research and also get the right product you will have a winner of a site.

The WP Backlinks plugin Wordpress Plugins gives you the ability to control and verify this. So put this on your list of to help you with all your back linking. It is not actually called WP Backlinks it is infact just Backlinks so please get that one right.

Also you will need to keep in mind that it’s the quality and frequency of content that you add to your blog that will determine its success. My hope is that you have found these two articles about the top 10 wordpress plugins on the Web very useful. Of course there are so many more, but use these and begin to see a marked difference in your blog rankings.

Blogging For Profit?

It would seem that most people today are talking about Blogging.

I guess the big question I get is, can you make money by Blogging?

How often do I need to blog?

What do I blog about?

All good questions…. I have been blogging for a couple of years now; I have many different blogs covering lots of topics and on every blog site I have adverts and ways to monetize the site, so in answer to the second question, Yes! you can make money blogging, you just have to know how

So let me give you 6 Tips for Blogging:

6 Tips For Blogging Success!

If you want to make money through blogging, creating a popular blog is the key to success. If your blog receives very little traffic, you will not have much success monetizing it. No matter which method you use to make money from your blog, you will find the most success if you have a large readership. Because of this, making your blog popular and growing readership should be one of your primary concerns.

There are many ways to make your blog more popular. The first thing you should consider is who your audience is and who you are writing for. You should always write about something that interests you, and that will interest others. You may think that your new kitten is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but there are probably not very many other people who want to read a blog about it, unless of course your blog happens to be about kittens   It is best to find a niche audience that is large enough to support a wide readership but not too vague.

One of the great things about blogging is that you do not have to be a professional writer to have a popular blog. You do have to obey common grammatical rules and at least be able to put together coherent sentences, but you do not have to be a highly skilled writer. In fact some of my favourite blogs are ones that are what I would call sloppy English and the odd grammar issue and spelling errors as well.

1. Blog readers are looking for interesting, relevant topics to read, not the next work of Shakespeare. Make sure what you write is interesting, edgy, or even controversial. Popular blogs are never boring and add value to readers’ lives either through information or entertainment. Make sure your blog adds something of value to your reader’s life otherwise you will not develop a large fan base, and we need a large fan base to make it all work and to make the money that most bloggers are wanting from their sites.

2. Making your blog popular is a lot like driving traffic to a website. You can use many of the same techniques to drive traffic to your blog. Finding places to link back to your blog is a good way to drive traffic. Social sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and You tube provide lots of opportunities for this. You can also use social book marking sites such as Reddit, StumbleUpon, and Digg to promote your blog. Blogging on a popular blog site such as Wordpress and Blogger are also good ways to make your blog more popular as these blogging sites help to bring in traffic for your blog.

3. Whether you blog on a blogging network or you have an independently hosted blog, you need to make sure your blog is designed well. It is true that content is king and if a blog has great content it may receive lots of traffic even though it is ugly. Having a well designed blog that is not ugly or annoying will help to drive repeat traffic. You want your blog to look unique, but not too unique. Keep with internet formalities such as blue links and use large font for headings.

4. You should break your post up into small paragraphs each with a headline if possible as internet readers tend to scan the screen looking for relevant information rather than reading everything word for word. Make sure your colors do not contrast too harshly and that the text is easy to read. Using good design will make your blog aesthetically pleasing and make readers more likely to come back and remain on your page. I see many people like to use the black background and white letters, I personally find that just too hard to read. I am sure there are many Baby Boomers out there who struggle the same as I do trying to read these most difficult sites. Black on white is fine, the other way round is ok for the younger set who still have eyesight

5. No matter where your blog is hosted, you should try to get it indexed by all the major search engines. Some forms of blog monetization require that your blog be indexed by search engines before they will allow you to participate in your program. The higher ranked your blog is, the more visitors you will receive and the more popular your blog will become. I would get any new site listed into the 3 main search engines as soon as possible and there is an easy way to do this using this Site Submission Link It also helps to send it out to all the Social Bookmarking and Social Networking sites as well.

6. All forms of monetization for your blog require readers to enjoy their stay, and their experiance. Before you try to implement your monetization strategies, make sure your blog has enough readers to make your efforts work. If there is no one to click your ads, visit your affiliate sites, or read your reviews, you do not stand much of a chance of making money. So make the articles interesting and informative.

Further to our questions earlier… How often do I need to blog and What do I blog about..

Autoposters

How Often? … my suggestion is at least once a week. On this, my very own blog, I like to do all the blog posts myself and so I blog once or twice a week, sometimes more but if so, then I schedule the posts to come in over a period of one to 3 weeks, it just depends. In today’s amazing world, we don’t need to blog ourselves as we have all these amazing Autoposters that do the job for us. So once setup they will put in information on your topic as often as you set it for, both articles and videos. It is amazing.

What do I blog about?.. well it needs to be on topic thats for sure. So whatever the topic then you need to talk about it. If you run out of things to write about then either use the Autoposters or find someone you can interview. Once you interview them, then you can turn the interview into a video, by taking their main points putting them onto a power point and then using a program like Movie Making Programs or MS Movie Maker. It really is endless what you can do… but whatever you do have fun

Social Networking in Plain English

I have just run one of my workshops this last weekend in Perth. I was trying to explain how important it is to do Social Networking.

There are at least 3 Social Networking Sites that I believe as an Internet Marketer you should belong to, of course there are many more but I really don’t have time to be active in any more than these.

Twitter

Facebook

Linkedin

Most of you will have heard of all of those I am sure unless you have been living under a rock.

I believe that when these groups were created they were not setup to be used as Marketing Companies and that is really what they have now become. I have to say that alot of my sales and now my database has grown from both Twitter and Facebook, they are both very powerful.

But what is Social Bookmarking?

I decided to pop this video into here for you to watch, I love the way this guy explains how this all works. There is one thing that too many people forget… there are 2 words in Social Networking… we are used to Networking and often forget the most important word these days and thats the word “Social”. Too many just get out there and sell, sell, sell in both Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In and just forget that one needs to be social as well. To take part in conversations and care…

As it stands right now I have a very high google page rank on one of my Twitter accounts. This has happened because I have been taking part and also I have almost as many followers as I have following. I also tweet so that must be what makes goole happy with what I am doing. I have other twitter accounts with various rankings… also I note that Google has changed and is now listing people’s Twitter accounts in googl, and in some cases my Twitter account is ranked higher than my Website. How amazing.

I use Social Networking to connect Socially with people and I believe to get the most out of Social Networking you should be doing the same.

I guess the other issue is, most don’t want to Tweet and don’t go near it because they believe they will be wasting time, well one needs to try it out and see the results. I have most of my Tweeting on automatic as you will see from earlier posts I believe in using tools to make things as simple as possible. My Twitter Adder software is amazing and worth a look at that’s for sure.

3 Tips to having a great Twitter Account

1. Setup a Twitter account for each Niche

2. Only follow people in your Niche

3, Take part and don’t be a Twitter Snob

Same applies for the other Social Networking groups as well.

If you are looking for some more tips and tricks on using Social Networking and other social media then my 350 Social Media Tactics will be a great help to you I am sure as the 350 Tips will help you think outside the box as to things you can do to use Social Media

Enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts.

Why You Should Not Buy From Your Own Affiliate Link

A few have asked this question… here is the answer… direct from Clickbank

Is it okay to buy from MY Own Affiliate LINK?

Thank you for your inquiry. While it is possible to use your own affiliate HopLink to purchase products from ClickBank, this is a practice that we discourage as it can lead to payment issues for your account.

Please be aware of the Customer Distribution Requirement, which states your account must reflect sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, and the sales must have been made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.

This requirement is in place to help prevent affiliates from abusing the ClickBank Affiliate Program by using their accounts for the sole purpose of collecting rebates and/or discounts on their own ClickBank purchases.

Although the Customer Distribution Requirement only has to be met once for each account, ClickBank continually monitors affiliate accounts to help prevent affiliates from abusing the ClickBank Affiliate Program. Affiliate accounts are for earning commissions on sales that other customers, not yourself, make through your links.

Please note that if your account is ever found to be violating our Client Contract, it can be terminated and any funds earned through purchases through your own HopLink can be held.

You may review our accounting policies by following the link below:

The 7 Tools To Internet Success

These are seminars I hole around the country in New Zealand. I got an email asking me to be interviewed on the TV about them. Wow my first TV interview.

I had all the questions sent to be before hand which I looked at and rehearsed… then she asked me different ones

I guess she was taken back abit by my amazing new skin I had got put on my laptop she just wanted to talk about that. It was fun I have to say, then she asked me where the Seminar was going to be held… opps complete mind blank..

It was interesting and fun, and boy does 6 mins go by really fast. Anyway all done now, and here is the interview.

New Zealand Internet Marketer

I have to say I am totally passionate about Internet Marketing, and about business Online and Offline in New Zealand particularly, but overseas as well. No matter where I speak I am asked the same questions..

1. Is there really money to be made online?
2. How long will it take to make it?
3. How much will I make?
4. Will one site give me enough money so I can retire?
5. How much time do I have to spend on my Online Business?

These questions and many more are great questions and all deserve an open an honest answer, which I am going to give via video, as I believe they are worth answering honestly and well.

In the meantime here is the video off the TV interview, I look forward to meeting you somewhere in my travels.

Learn Internet Marketing Using the Right Tools

I believe to do anything well you need the right tools… I am sure you would agree. If you are a builder you know that you need not only the right tools but you also need good tools… who wants a hammer that after you give something a good knock then the end falls off… not very helpful.

I have said over and over that I will teach you Internet Marketing and tell you about the correct Internet Marketing Resources that will help you not only build a great Internet Business but will also build you a strong one.

I saw a video the other day of a massive block of Flats or Units in China fall over and into a raging torrent of water and all because no one bothered to make sure the foundations were strong and able to stand up to whatever the weather would throw at the building… It was very sad to see it all happen.

Internet Marketing Strategies

Not only will I give you great Internet Marketing Strategies I will give you the tools to make the Strategies all work for you.

I am excited to tell you about a few things I have been doing lately with a number of my new sites that are working very well for me.

I will share some of these with you now.

I have recently built a Wordpress Site all about How To Draw A Car Step By Step this site has done well and in 2 weeks has made it to front page of Google. The next site I setup was one all about TMJ called TMJ Help Site, this has made it to front page of Google as well in less than a week on my chosen keywords, then in weekend while at a Workshop I was running I put together a website all about Hemorrhoids, it was all abit of fun, but I see only 4 days later that that site is on page 2 of Google.

Story
Last week I went to help out a guy who wanted me to show him how to get a website up and running and promoting an Affiliate Product… well here is what happened.. at the begining of our time together he was no where to be found on Google, after 90 mins of me showing him what he needed to do to get to front page, he was at top of page 2… after only 90 mins.

So what got him and myself from no where to the front page of Google?

Really great question….

Get to Front Page of  Google Fast

Well it’s all about the keywords and being relevant.  It’s all about the description and about the Headers… no one will tell you that… but it’s true. I would say that only about 5% of websites out there have any of those things on the website and I will prove it to you. Just watch the video and you will see as I randomly select websites..

Want to know more… want to know the big secret of how to get Traffic and How to get Google to find you…

Social Networking
I’m sure you’ve heard of it . You might even be doing it.
I sure am, I am on Facebook, and Twitter and Linkedin and so the list goes on and on…
But the real question is, are you doing it right?
How much time are you spending in the day to update your Social Networking sites…

Social Networking can be a lot of things. It can be a waste of time or a huge marketing tool.
I love what you can do with Social Networking, it is very, very powerful. No matter what Social Networking site you use, use it well.

Let me give you 3 things not to do, and some tips on what you can do.

I want to help you in every part of your Internet Marketing life, so as you Start Internet Marketing, make this website the place to stop and learn all you can.

Also watch the video if your a visual person, those who like to read can read it.
I wonder if you have given much thought to what you put up onto the internet? Here’s a thought that might make you think twice about what you put up there.

As Facebook itself is a very powerful tools for each of us to use, no matter what we are doing, if its Business or pleasure what you put up there and indeed in any Social Networking site can impact your life later on in your life.

Think on this… what if you were going for a job interview and your future Employer went to Facebook and took a look through it, would you be proud or worried. Always good to keep that in mind. If your mother or your Grandmother was to discover your page, would they be excited or totally embarrased….

One thing I know is what goes up there stays forever, the good and the bad.

Recently I have had the misfortune of having all my YouTube accounts deleted not once but so far 7 times, everytime I put one up it gets deleted, so now when you click on the video’s it comes up and says ” this account has been deleted due to Violation of Code” there was no warning and I am still at a loss as to what I did..
It’s very dishearting when it happens time after time, every channel after that I was very careful to use me and only me and my stuff, but still they deleted me. No reason, just gone. So now that leaves me with a huge problem of 1000’s of video’s that make me look like a criminal. What to do… well keep going, and make sure there is as much positive stuff out there with my name on it… its just what happens, so here we go again with another channel. Will see how I go.
So all that to say, have you thought of what you put on line and the impact it could have on you and maybe even your Grandchildren in years to come. It’s scary. However if we know all that we can make sure we do things right, from the begining.
3 Top Tips today of what not to do in Social Marketing:

1. Not sharing enough personal details
