    high ranked sites to link to you. Think of a link to your site as a vote of confidence.

There are plenty of great directories that allow you to submit your site for free.

    Dog Walkers & Your Career
    I was jogging in the park the other day and noticed a number of professional dog walkers. They had many dogs under their care and the necessary tools of their trade. Nothing remarkable about that.What struck me was a) the number of providers I saw on this one visit, b) their marketing efforts, and c) the range of services offered. Parked on the streets around the park were various types of mini-van and SUV, emblazoned with each dog walking entrepreneur's web site address, phone number, slogan, and featured services. So, what does this have to do with your career?It illustrates an important career development theme:When I was growing up, my Mom and Dad's core career advice was t
    Do you have a product or service that you want to sell on the Internet? If so, there are a few fundamental components that you must know. Putting your product or service up for sale is easy. You can find a cheap hosting plan and get a 1-5 page site up within a few hours. But what happens next?

    Unfortunately, most businesses will never sell their product successfully on the Internet. Their sites may be flashy, but they are not receiving visitors. To receive an endless supply of free, targeted, leads from the search engines you should consider a few of the 5 tips below.

    Tip #1- Provide High Quality Content

    Providing content does more than give out generic information. Providing content builds trust between you and your visitor. The more content you give, the bigger the bond. Your content should focus around very specific keywords. Each page on your website should be optimized and focused on one keyword.

    Finding keywords is a task in and of itself. I will be the first to admit that hunting down keywords with a high demand and low supply is not the easiest task in the world. It can be boring and repetitive. After awhile the numbers will blend together and you will feel a bit dazed. But do not stop now! Keywords are the foundation for your content pages and for your business.

    Tip #2- Find Relevant Linking Partners

    The days of trading links with any old site are gone. There was a period in time when search engines counted how many links in you had to your site. They factored that and determined if your site was good or not. So if your site had 300 other sites linking to it, search engines would have probably considered it a better site than one with only 10 incoming links.

    Search engines have wised up since those days. Now search engines place more emphasis on relevant links. Your site should only link to other sites that are high quality and relevant. If your site is about cookies then you should not be linking to a site about gambling. It doesn't make sense for your site visitors, and it doesn't make sense to the search engines.

    When you trade links with a relevant, high quality site be sure you specify where your link should be placed, for how long, and what it should say. I often see people exchange links and within a few days the linking partner has taken down the link. Only do business with trusted webmasters.

    Tip #3- Submit Your Site to Site Directories

    This is a great way to get high quality and high ranked sites to link to you. Think of a link to your site as a vote of confidence. Site directories are less popular than search engines, but their link to you helps you increase in search engine rankings. Be wary of any site directory that makes you pay for submission. There are plenty of great directories that allow you to submit your site for free.

    Marketing with Smart ROI
    Is marketing one of the last bastions of unregulated expenditure within a business?There is growing pressure from the Boardroom and Executive Management Committee’s to bring marketing and communications expenditure to heal. However, this is more fundamental than simply requiring the Marketing Director to take an obedience class. It’s not just about control, but increasingly performance, measurement and extracting a true understanding of the genuine return on investment that marketing and individual marketing campaigns are bringing to the business.Too long perhaps has the Industry been hiding behind the excuse that marketing is a complex function, with multi-dimensional facets that emb

    Head-On: Apply Directly to the Forehead
    I'll spare you the three-peat, but you know you've heard that commercial. You may try not to hear it, but it still gets stuck in your mind. Could there be a more annoying marketing campaign?Well, it seems to be working. The Head On people have gotten a large part of the nation to know and remember the name of their product and what it does through what I'm guessing was not a very expensive commercial to produce! They put some cash into buying spots, but they seem to have gone for a quantity over quality approach in that area too. Yet, they are gleaning semi-regular references from Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman and countless others.It seems as though everyone in Ame

    Affiliate Business 101
    An “affiliate” is a business that sells them products or services of another business, called a “merchant”, via a link on the affiliate’s website. When a sale take place, the affiliate receives a commission.Affiliate business is popular because it is performance-based; merchants with affiliate programs incur promotional costs, in the form of commissions, only when sales are made. By comparison, sellers that promote their products or services via ads, TV commercials, direct mail and the like, pay for these marketing costs whether or not the media is successful in bringing them sales. Affiliates typically do not pay to participate in affiliate programs.When a business joins the affili

Site directories are less popular than search engines, but their link to you helps you increase in search engine rankings. Be wary of any site directory that makes you pay for submission. There are plenty of great directories that allow you to submit your site for free.

    Getting as specific as possible with site directories is a great idea. If your site is about cookies, you should try to find a site directory that only deals with desserts or foods. General directories are fine, but be sure you submit your site to the appropriate category. General directories tend to have a category for almost any topic.

    Some site directories will ask you to link to them first. This is your choice. I do not link or pay to get into any site directory. There are too many free ones that do not require a link back. Remember to place only relevant links on your site. Would your cookie site visitors want to click on a link for a site directory?

    Tip #4- Add a Site Map

    A site map is a single webpage that contains links to all the other pages on your site. Adding a map will help your visitors find information quickly. Besides being a helpful tool for visitors a site map also helps search engines find pages. When a search engine spider visits your site it crawls through a page. It visits all the links on your page and it checks for keywords. This is why keywords and relevant linking partners are recommended above.

    Once the search engine spider finds the site map it will find all of your other pages. Search engine spiders do not like to dig very deep into sites. They like to search through 2 or 3 'levels' of information. So pages that are hard to find will not rank well or they will take much longer to rank well. A site map helps the engines find all your pages at once.

    Tip #5- Be Patient and Find Other Means of Traffic

    Waiting for the search engines to scour your site and rank it could take a bit of time. I recommend a lot of patience. When I post a new content page on my website, it takes a few weeks to get noticed. Some search engines are fast and rank the page immediately. Others are a bit slower.

    While you wait for your pages to rank well I recommend finding alternative ways to drive traffic to your site. You can look into PPC (pay-per-click advertising), article writing, off-line ads, buying ad space in newsletters, doing a joint venture with a fellow webmaster or post in relevant forums.

    These 5 tips to ranking well at the search engines are tried and true methods. I have built a site using these 5 tips and can personally attest to their sheer power. Patience is the hardest part. Keep building relevant content, link to relevant partners, submit to site directories, add a site map and then keep going.

    Persistence pays off. Building a web business takes time. Your business needs to develop and mature. Using some or all of the above tips can ensure a big payoff down the road.
