For all of you business people looking for great advice to help run your business and get a head of the game. I have found another great article that I think you will like.This article by Andy Bacon is a must read article that give wonderful insight on things you need to do,in order to get your business noticed by the search engines and start making money from your website.
If you want to have success with an online business there is one thing you absolutely must have. Without this piece of the business pie nothing else matters. You can have a great looking website with graphics and killer sales copy but it won’t help you a bit. You can have a great product with a killer offer but it won’t matter. If you don’t have the life blood of a great web business nothing else matters. What is the most important aspect of any business? Customers. If you don’t have customers you don’t have anything.
Customers are the fuel that drives any business. Everything must be centered on getting customers if you want to make money online or in any business.
When you have an online business the customers are known as traffic. This traffic is the people who visit your website or blog. Most internet marketing authorities agree that the vast majority of your efforts should be focused on getting more traffic to your site. If you want to know how important traffic is this ratio may be enlightening. You should spend about 10 of your time on the website and 90 your time on getting buyers to visit your site.
There are two types of traffic on the web. Social traffic and buying traffic. Social traffic is comprised of people just looking around. These people are known as tire kickers. They are not ready to buy anything. The social traffic is notoriously hard to make any money off of because they are not in the buying mood.
Buying traffic is also known as search traffic. Search traffic is comprised of people who are looking for a solution to a problem and they are willing to pay. This is the type of traffic you want to target because they already have their credit cards and are ready to buy a solution.
There are two methods to tapping into this buying traffic. You can get listed in the search engine result pages for free or you can buy ads on the search engine result pages with PPC or Pay Per Click. Both of these methods work but I like the free method best because it’s FREE.
Google has the largest search network so that is the one to target. If you want to get a lot of traffic from Google you have to be listed in one of the top spots when someone searches for what you are selling. For example, if you are selling “Red Dog Collars” you want your site to show up at the top of the page when someone searches for this term. A term like this is known as a keyword phrase.
So how do you get to the top of the search page? You make Google realize that you are the authority for “Red Dog Collars.” First you build a site about the subject. Then you spend all the rest of your time proving to Google that you are the expert. You do this by getting other websites to link to you saying you have great information on “Red Dog Collars.” These links are known as backlinks and they are like gold when it comes to getting ranked higher on the search engine page. Every time a website links to you with the keyword “Red Dog Collars” that is another vote to Google that you are the expert and so Google is more likely to send searcher to your website. At the end of the day the person with the most “Red Dog Collars” is going to be at the top of the search page and people are going to be more likely to visit that site.
About 40 of the people who search for a term will visit the first site listed in the search result page. So you can see that being in the top spot is very important. These searchers are usually people who are looking to buy a solution to their problem. Learning how to get to the top of the search page results is one of the most important skills you can develop to get more buying traffic to your site.

Viral Marketing Tools
For those of you that are interested in Viral Marketing Tools, I have found this great article by Fredi Donosa which gives a lot of ideas on how to use Viral Marketing techniques to make income from you business.
Viral marketing is like any other types of marketing in that you need the tools to get the job done. The thing that sets viral marketing tools apart from most types of marketing tools is that many of them are free. The one’s that aren’t free are still a lot less expensive than typical marketing tools. Despite the fact that most viral marketing tools are free the potential return can outdo most forms of marketing by enormous quantities.
One of the most important and easiest to use viral marketing tools is blogging software. Despite the fact that blogging software and blogging in general can work so incredibly well to spread your brand most blogging software is entirely free. The only cost that may ever exist with blogs is the cost for a webhost and domain name. This can run as low as one hundred dollars a year. If you don’t even want to spend this many free blogging sites exist which can be used to spread your name.
Another one of the most effective viral marketing tools is articles. Like blogs these are written documents which contain some form of information. The beauty of articles is they can be readily submitted to a number of free article sites for free. Well written articles function extremely well as viral marketing tools because people love to share useful information. This holds especially true if the useful information is provided in a clean, concise, and easy to read format.
Forums are one of the many excellent free viral marketing tools available. These can work two ways. Providing a forum on your website which others can use to ask questions and share responses can bring new traffic to your site. Posting forum messages which contain a link to your site in your signature can bring clicks and increase your image as an expert in your field.
Email is one of the most effective viral marketing tools which has ever been used. Email can be used in one of two ways. A signature containing a link to your site can be included in every single email you send out. Creating an email newsletter is also one of the most effect viral marketing tools. The key with this tool is to provide content which people will want to forward to their friends and family and which encourages them to visit your site to learn more.
For those who have the skills necessary to write software games and other forms of software can be extremely good viral marketing tools. There is nothing better in most people’s minds than free stuff. In fact many people will download software which they may never even use simply because it’s free and at the moment it sounds interesting.
The beauty of this is that not only do people love free software but they love to share free software with their friends. Releasing a free piece of software can gain links back to your site and it also tends to be spread through word of mouth.
Developing free viral marketing tactics is something that can seem like a daunting task but with a guiding hand it can be done quite effectively.
