How To Get More Than Just Traffic From Ezine

2008-10-01T22:46:00.000-07:00

Most internet marketers are familiar with ezine articles as a site that's used to generate target traffic to their website or blog and build quality backlinks to optimize their websites for the search engines ,but with a little imagination, you can extract a lot more profitable information out of ezine articles.

What is the first image that catches your eyes when you visit the ezine articles website ? For me it's the article categories at the center of the page. Most of us click on the exact category we are interested in to either find a sub category or to research the articles listed under that category before we submit our own articles.However, if we spend a little more time on the site ,then there is a lot more we could learn.

After you click on an article under a sub category ,you can learn about the popularity of the article if you scroll down to the "Please Rate This Article" button. Just above this button ,you can gauge the popularity of the article by glancing at the number of times the article has been viewed.This will give you an idea about what keyword is working best when connecting with audience in this sub category or niche.

If you look at the resource box that leads up to a website or landing page of the writer , then you can discover affiliate products under that sub category.Most articles use the resource box to point to a landing page that sells an affiliate product in their niche ,though, not all the products are worth your time.How do you know which products are making money and which ones are not?

If you click on the name of the author adjacent to the title of the article and find twenty or more articles under his/her name in that category ,then there is a pretty good chance that the product is making money.A double verification to this rule is looking up the keywords of those articles in google.If there are several google adwords ads running under the keywords , then you can be certain that there's money to be made in that niche under that keyword.

The process may seem more time consuming than it actually is ,but it works pretty well for picking up products that are already selling well. Now if it sounds a little tiresome , then you could automate the process by employing a software I use to find affiliate products under absolutely any niche and keyword.This one is called micro niche finder. This software does a lot more than finding you hot affiliate products under any keyword , for example it brainstorms the hottest keywords of the week,month season for you and gives you the search counts, exact matches ,ad costs ,all at one go and also tells you how much realistic chance you stand to make money with each keyword.In fact, the software does a lot more than that , but that's beyond the topic of this post.

Presently , the software is priced at $67 , but James is planning to launch a 4th version shortly to be followed by a 5th version thereafter and charge the customers on a monthly basis ,though, the buyers before the price increase will get all the updates for free and no monthly charges at all.Isn't that sweet ?:)

Anyway, coming back to where we started , you don't really need the software to uncover profitable affiliate products from the web. You can simply use the vast amount of resources on ezinearticles and google as a guiding site for that and save time and money on a product that isn't worth your time and effort.

Google Chrome (Beta) Is Now Live

2008-09-02T18:35:00.000-07:00

Google Chrome (Beta) is now active and ready for download.Download Google Chrome ( Beta) for the Windows from Here .Once you start using Google Chrome (Beta) ,it will automatically show your most visited sites whenever you launch the browser.I am finding pages load a little faster than Firefox ,which is my favorite browser.

Here are some benefits of Google Chrome (beta) above other browsers :

In addition to browsing web pages, Google Chrome (beta) allows you to browse applications.
It's a multi process browser with each process supporting it's own memory and not affecting the memory of other processes within the same browser.
When you search for something new , Google Chrome (beta) gives you automatic suggestions based on data it acquires about the site from other visitor experiences.This includes warning you against sites that are harmful.
If there is a malware or bug that need to be fixed , then this will be handled as an isolated process ,without crashing your browser window or other tabs open within the same browser window.
Google Chrome (beta) loads the pages faster than other browsers out there.

Download Google Chrome (beta) from Official Google Website

Google Chrome Beta - The Google Browser

2008-09-02T02:50:00.000-07:00

Are You Ready For Google Chrome Beta?

Prepare yourself for another first from Google as Google plans to launch it's very own Browser - Google Chrome Beta and it's not 1st April! Scott McCloud ,in this comic book provides the technical details of the browser Google is calling Google Chrome. It will be an open source browser from Google which they expect to launch very soon and that possibly means as early as tomorrow!

Google Chrome Beta is expected to include a javascript virtual machine called V8 and being open source ,the other browsers can include it.Google says that Chrome will be in beta for windows and versions of the browser for Mac and Linux will follow shortly.This could mean serious competition for the 8.3 million downloads on debut of Mozilla's Firefox 3.

Google Chrome Beta Vs Firefox

Apart from differences in how much more memory the browser will support as against Firefox , they are quite different in appearance .Unlike Firefox ,which has the tab buttons below the address bars , Google's browser is expected to show the tab buttons above the address bar. Each process run on the browser will be a separate process not influencing the activity of another process.Thus, Google is calling it a Multi process browser. Each tab in Google chrome beta will have it's own address bar and isolated memory specific to that process only.

As Google Chrome beta is an open source browser, applications can be added to it and the Chrome bot will test each new browser across millions of pages giving programmers insights and early results into their performance.The process could be as fast as 20-30 minutes!

The google chrome beta will warn surfers against dangerous sites and will also autocomplete websites when you type an alphabet in the address bar.However, to keep the process simple, the autocompletion process will be generating the main domain you had visited and not the deeper pages.

There are several other exceptional advantages that the open source Google Chrome Beta has over the existing browsers available. The Google browser team didn't forget to thank Mozilla for the knowledge that it used from Mozilla Firefox while building their open source browser. You can read about the details of Google Chrome Beta in the Comic Book here

The browser is supposed to be housed at http://www.google.com/chrome
, though , at the time of typing this , that link is still inactive. If reports are to be believed , then that could change by tomorrow and if it does, then Google Chrome Beta could give some serious competition to all existing browsers out there.

Does the prospect excite you ?

If you are a Wealthy affiliate member and have looked at your dashboard recently, then you'd know that Kyle and Carson have revealed a $1,000,000 marketing blueprint taken from their highest converting personal campaigns.

The blueprint isn't just any other guide book for you to tap into this massively profitable niche with hungry crowd, but it also gives you a complete breakdown of the highly converting keywords that Kyle and Carson use in their personal campaigns , which basically takes out the research work that we'd have otherwise had to do to get the best ROI from these campaigns.

Alongside the guide and massive keyword list that can be used to approach your target audience from different angles , you can also use the turn key feeder sites optimized for search engines for this specific niche to profit from your marketing campaigns right away.

If you haven't started pay per click marketing like Google Adwords or YPN , you can still take advantage of these high converting keywords by article marketing , Squidoo lenses or by building landing pages using Site Rubix.

Remember that Kyle and Carson have shared this niche and product with the wealthy affiliate members and the guide only because it's an extremely profitable niche that several other super affiliates have endorsed. So, it's now on the wealthy affiliate members to take action on this $1,000,000 marketing bombshell and build an enviable long term income stream within this industry.

New Look and Feel for Bloggers

2008-08-18T00:06:00.000-07:00

It's hardly been three days since the blogger dashboard got a totally new look and I am already loving it. Whoever suggested it surely has done a great personal favor to me. As a blogger, you never run out of ideas and keep experimenting with new blogs and my blogging expedition has been no different.

I have floated more than a few new blogs with what seemed like an inspirational idea at one point , but blame it on time constraint or lack of enough motivation towards that niche that a few blogs were left unattended.Now, whenever I visit my dashboard , I look at them with a feeling of guilt as if I am neglecting a baby I am responsible for.All that's about to change with the new blogger update because I can play hide and seek for a while with them.

With the new blogger interface, you can hide the blogs that you are not your primary platforms and by clicking on the "show all" button , you can bring them work as and when you need to work on them. Once you have chosen which blogs to hide, you can hide them all at once by clicking the " minimize" button.Saves me considerable amount of guilt , but that's not to say I have abandoned them forever.

The Blogger team has come up with a Features page just in case you were missing out on some of the cool features you could use on your blog.Another Blogger development I am excited about is Blogger's increased cacheability of CSS and Javascript because this is being done to help the pages load faster. I am not too big on graphics , but for the bloggers who are , this comes as a blessing.

For now, I will hang around the features page and update myself on anything that I missed out.Hopefully, the time that I save from the new functions can be used to build my baby blogs that need some special care to catch up with the rest.

Total domination of Google Search Results : Unreal

2008-08-06T22:26:00.000-07:00

How would you react if your website were to occupy all top seven search results on the first page of Google within 24 hours of publishing a post for a search term that shows 91,600 search results on Google ? Impossible, right ? Search engine optimization isn't voodoo!

And what would you say if the same search result were to appear on the first page of Google under a search term with 20 million search results within 24 hours ? Holy Cow !! Too good to be true !!

But would you believe it if you were watching this experiment unfold before your own eyes? You can watch the Google domination experiment that Frank Kern and his friend recorded as they carried out the seemingly unthinkable task by Clicking Here

The video shows exactly how they got to the first page of Google within 10 minutes and totally dominated the search results on Google for a keyword with 91,600 results within just 24 hours. Did someone say traffic overload ? Even John Reese would be proud of this search engine optimization strategy. Watch the Video Here

How to Design Websites Within Minutes

2008-07-26T00:38:00.000-07:00

Could your affiliate marketing business churn out more profits if I were to show you how to design websites within minutes ? And when I say minutes, I mean minutes , not hours! I am going to show you how a simple website building software can be used to design your own websites at break neck speed.

These are professional looking websites that can compete with any website designed with costly website building softwares , but are comparatively much easier to build and modify. You need absolutely no knowledge of html or any other language to design your own websites.Once you learn how to design websites fast, it can become a hobby that can earn you a lucrative income just by designing websites. Let's get started.

Login to your wealthy affiliate members area. On dashboard you will notice a Site Rubix link at the top.Site rubix -website builder is a software that uses drag and drop technology to create websites within minutes. Click on the Site rubix link. This will pop up a new window with the site rubix website builder software. Click on the "Create New Site" button on the left menu as shown in the following screenshot.

It will take you to a page with many website templates to choose from. Here you will be asked to give your site a name in the 'Site Attributes' box at the top of the page and select a template.I named my site "Online Wealth Vault" , chose a template with a blue banner and gray navigational bar and clicked on the "Create Site" button at the bottom of the page.This brings me to the template on which I will build my site.The templates inside wealthy affiliate are already optimized for search engines.Hence, when you learn how to design websites using site rubix website builder and follow simple instructions, your website will be automatically compatible for the major search engines.

At this stage, all I can see is the simple skeletal template with a blue banner and gray navigation bar that I picked , but within minutes it will be fleshed out to accommodate the new menu items and layouts that I will add to it. You can change the banner or the template by clicking the buttons I have circled in the image below.I am going to stick to this template for now.

Click on the "New Menu Items" to add menus to the navigation bar.This will pop up a box to add text ,url or select a page as shown in the image on the left.Add the menu text in the text box as you would like it to appear in the navigational menu.For example I added "affiliate Marketing" in the text box for the link under the home to appear as Affiliate Marketing.

In the url , we will need to add an html link.Don't freak out :-) All you have to do is write the website url followed by a right slash and the text and an html extension ,for example I added http://www.onlinewealthvault.com/affiliatemarketing.html in the url box. Click on Save when you are done and it will appear in the navigation bar.Add as many menu items as you want.You can drag and drop to change the position of the menu items. I have added four pages for this site .

There is also a text box on the banner at the top for you to add text. I added Online Wealth Vault, the title of the site , to that box as you can see from the screenshot on the right. You can choose the font,font color,bold ,color of text or centering buttons from the top to make any changes you want.

Now, all that's left is to add content and images to your site. If you have your content ready , then this will take you less than a minute to add them to the respective pages.Click on the "New Layout" button that you see at the top of the page.This will bring up several layouts with different dimensions as shown in the left image.I chose the 30-70 layout because I am going to add an image in the layout box on the left and add text to the layout on the right.

To add an image, I click on the green + sign on the left layout window and click image. This pops up a box where I can browse and upload an image from my computer.The alt text is the text your visitor will see if the image takes time to load or doesn't load. Use the align feature to position the image at the top, bottom or center.Once done, click on the save button to upload the image.All your images will be stored in "my image" inside wealthy affiliate so you don't have to upload the same image twice.

This is how the page presently looks. Notice that the image and the text have been added on different halves within the same layout.It took me less than a minute to get it done.Once you learn how to build websites and attempt it, you will find how easy and exciting designing a website can be.

Now I added a new 100% layout which appears just under the previous 30-70 layout.This is where I add my content for the website. You can see how it looks after I added the text to the page.Don't pay attention to the text on that site as I didn't put any thought into it.You can also add videos to your site the same way I added the image or you can select the url for a youtube video and show it on your website.You can add as many layouts, images,videos and screenshots to a page as you like.

If you have joined Wealthy affiliate from any link on Onlinewealthvault, then you can email me at Onlinewealthvault@gmail.com with your subscription number and I will help you put together your website with Site Rubix and upload it for you.To be honest , it's actually quite a simple process.

As a wealthy affiliate member you get free hosting for three of your websites. Hence, after building the website, you can simply upload it using wealthy affiliate's ftp software to WA server and have it running in no time.It took me around 7 minutes to put together this page and the rest of the content , but that's because I was creating this tutorial on how to design websites here and keep screenshots of each page as I proceeded. You can also add new pages by clicking on"Add new page" link showing on the left menu. It would take you less than 15 minutes to design a professional website with the site rubix website Builder once you have learned how to design websites.

Advice for New Wealthy Affiliate Money makers

2008-07-13T19:57:00.000-07:00

Here is some helpful advice for Wealthy affiliate money makers who joined wealthy affiliate university only recently. When you log into your wealthy affiliate account, you will find the "8 week action plan" on your dashboard. Subscribe to this plan and let it guide you with specific tasks, tutorials and videos included in each week's action plan.

There is a monstrous information overload on the internet on how to make money online and it's not possible to learn everything simultaneously, neither is it necessary.The 8 week action plan will streamline your progress and help you stay focused. Learning and finishing the simple tasks on the tutorials will help you get started with making money online fast. Every wealthy affiliate money maker ,whether old or new swears by this action plan. As you progress through the weeks, you will get familiar with both Free and paid techniques to make money online.

Both free and paid marketing techniques work equally well and this is proven! Don't let anyone preach you any different.The only difference between the two is time and effort. If you have time in your hands, you can put more effort in the free marketing methods and get great results. If you have money that you'd like to use to get quicker results, then you'd perhaps need to put in less effort for the results to come through. But either way, both marketing styles are highly proven and being successfully used everyday.

One place that you definitely can benefit from is the Wealthy affiliate forum. The forum is an unbelievable diamond field where the diamonds "Never" exhaust.You will learn something new and helpful every time you visit the forum. It's a powerhouse of internet marketing knowledge and inspiration. You can benefit immensely just from the Sticky threads that Kyle, Carson and other old timers have created.But that's also a reason why it's so easy to get distracted and start chasing new fishes. Guard yourself against doing this!

One virtue to succeed online that I have been hearing about since several years , but understood only after joining wealthy affiliate is to "STAY FOCUSED". There are unlimited ways to make money online, but as I said, you do not have to know everything. All you need to focus on is one good and proven method to make money online and master it. The 8 week action plan will help you do just that.

Another place you should visit is the WA space and the "WA Share Zone". WA Share Zone is the web 2.0 face of wealthy affiliate that has been very recently launched.This is the place where wealthy affiliate members share strategies and techniques in the form of tutorials,videos, pdf files that are making them wealthy affiliate money and even while sharing them , they are earning WA Gold that's encashable as US dollars. While the WA Sharezone and WA forum are great places to learn from new and successful ideas and earn by sharing your own experiences you shouldn't let it come in your way of finishing the 8 week action plan.

Whether you watch the videos in the video vault , learn from the basic, intermediate and advanced tutorials in the learning center, dig gold in the forum and WA share zone or Earn from WA Jobs, don't let it take away from the 8 week action plan. I CAN'T stress this enough . If you get distracted or confused on what method you should use to make money online, get back to the 8 week action plan and see to it that you have learned it well! Once you learn the tricks in the action plan, you will be on your way to becoming an advanced internet marketer. Remember that the salient feature of internet marketing success is F-O-C-U-S.

Every money making strategy out there on the internet is elaborately and intelligently to be usurped by wealthy affiliate money makers. It's up to you which strategy you want to master and profit from.One thing that you can be sure about is that at wealthy affiliate you will always have great qualified support helping you to become an accomplished wealthy affiliate money maker.

Google Does it Again with their Keyword Generator Tool

2008-07-11T21:16:00.000-07:00

Google has surprised everyone yet again! This time with the Google Keyword Generator tool. The Google keyword Generator tool is now giving search counts instead of showing green bars when you search for keywords using their keyword generator and it's F-R-E-E for All!

I couldn't hold back anymore. I have been itching to post this from the moment I heard about it, but I confirmed the news by playing around with their keyword generator tool , verified the news on other popular networks , informed my close friends , waited for almost 2 days to be sure it's not a glitch in the keyword tool that's making it throw up the search counts and finally did the happy dance! :)

It's Official. You don't have to pay to get those secretive search counts when doing your keyword research anymore! And yes, this definitely IS the BIG news I was referring to in my last post. So, if you are a wealthy affiliate member and you have learned to use the keyword generator tool rightly to do your keyword research , then only sky is the limit! Perhaps even the sky won't hold you back now :)

Everyone I have talked with so far is super excited about this latest development with the Google keyword generator tool , even if they already had a Wordtracker subscription and there is a reason for this excitement.These search counts are straight from Google's Search database which means the approximation to the nearest search count should be closer than any other keyword research software. This obviously means that your keyword research when using Google's keyword generator tool will be that much more precise. Here's a screenshot of what the search results look like with the search count feature.

If you have used the Google keyword tool in the past , then you will be aware that the Approximate average search volume for the previous month and for the last twelve months (on the extreme right) used to show Green bars , but now they will show search counts as you can see in the above image. This makes things easier and more exciting for everyone involved, whether you are a blogger, webmaster, content writer , advertiser or internet marketer.Can you tell that I am excited! :-D

Now, with Wealthy affiliate essentially becoming Free and Google giving Free search counts with their already revolutionary Keyword generator tool, there seriously can't be a better time or reason to join wealthy affiliate and use their powerful knowledge to catalyze your profit graph. Here's hoping that the search count on Google keyword generator tool is only the beginning of bigger things to follow.

A Huge Reason to Join Wealthy Affiliate :Now Essentially a Free Web 2.0 Site

2008-07-10T22:59:00.000-07:00

With the introduction of web 2.0 via WA Gold, this is the Best time ever to Join Wealthy Affiliate because Wealthy affiliate has essentially become a F-R-E-E membership site. After the launch of WA Gold and WA "Share" Zone , members of Wealthy affiliates won't need to pay any out of pocket expenses to remain a member. They can now earn a lot more than their membership fees within wealthy affiliates using WA Gold and WA share zone and they don't have to do anything extra for that.

With the launch of WA gold, every member who chooses to join wealthy affiliate and anywhere inside the Wealthy Affiliates community, be it in the forum , WA space, WA Share Zone or even via private message( pm) , can earn cashable gold inside wealthy affiliates. How does the system work ?

When you contribute to a forum post or share a piece of information that other members can benefit from , you will receive WA gold from wealthy affiliate members , not once but for the lifetime of that post or that information , resource, tutorial ,video, pdf document etc. Where does this gold come from ?

Well, the ever so generous founders of Wealthy affiliates , Kyle and Carson , add 10 WA Golds to each wealthy affiliates member's account each month. This can be given away by the members. In fact , that's the only way you can expend this gold you receive from the Admin- Give it away to any deserving member . What is the value of WA Gold ? 10 WA Golds = $1.00

At the end of every month , you can encash the gold that you receive from members of wealthy affiliates in the form of USD and considering that all wealthy affiliates will be viewing your contribution , it's an extremely reasonable assumption that you will make much more than the wealthy affiliates membership fees. Can you come up with a better reason to join wealthy affiliate ? :)

How to use Micro Niche Finder Software to profit from Any Micro Niche

2008-07-06T00:46:00.000-07:00

Micro Niche Finder software is the lazy man's secret to rule the world of micro niches. The micro niche finder software goes into every niche and digs out exactly what is hot and what's not. It shows you the search counts ,broad and exact phrase match for every keyword within a niche and helps you decide which niche is worth the effort and which one is not.

Here you can find the five income streams that the micro niche finder software can instantly help you set up.After watching the videos , I went into testing the Squidoo method using the micro niche finder software. It didn't take me long to come up with 3 terrific keywords with good search count and almost no competition in an evergreen hot industry - Online Dating. I confirmed the present status of the industry with the built-in Google trends functionality in the software. Now this is an extremely competitive niche , but there are always keywords that are waiting to be optimized and that's what I used the software for.

I used the unlicensed article functionality of the software to search for two articles within the industry that aren't copyright protected and rewrote them into one Squidoo lens within fifteen minutes. I placed a link to one of the Clickbank products on this lens.The next day when I checked my Clickbank account , I had already got three sales from 73 page views on the lens.Wow!

Now if I could use just one method shown in the videos to get three sales in no time , imagine what I could do with the micro niche finder software if I were to set up a landing page for one of the micro niches it digs out for me!! I hope it doesn't make me too lazy ;-) To see the micro niche finder software at work , watch the video that follows or to watch all the profit streams that you can set up using the software click here

How to uncover hidden niches within any industry

2008-06-17T23:56:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to learn how to dig up hidden niches at will ? Have you given a thought to how much more money your campaigns could make if you were promoting a product to a hungry market with almost no competition ?

The technique to find hidden niches that haven't been explored in a big way is only as hard as knowing which special gift will get your child jumping with glee on Christmas and what wouldn't you give up to watch that happen! All you have to do is be at the right place and be an interested listener. Stumbling over hidden niches is a very similar art.

Now before we proceed further let me ask you a question. What do you do when you are seeking a solution to a problem on internet ? You Google it , right ? And the search results take you to an article that provides you possible solutions or a forum where people just like you ,who have had a similar problem, hang out and get advise from someone who knows how to overcome the problem because they too have experienced it. Did I just see a bulb light up ?:-)

The infallible technique that successful affiliate marketers use to learn about hidden niches in absolutely any industry is to hang out in the forums about that industry. Within no time you will learn the biggest problems the customers face within that industry and products that are being recommended every minute by members who have successfully tackled that very problem and this is true for every industry, without any exception.

However, it's not always a problem that's being addressed.It could even be a decision about that stylish gadget, that latest game or that special wedding gown. Someone is always helping them make that decision on what to buy.When you spend time in the forums within the industries whether it is about apple products, learning golf , hosting a website , training a pup or winning back your lost lover's heart , you will hear from your potential customers what they are planning to buy next and you can benefit from that knowledge of those hidden niches in a big way.

Another great benefit of doing your research for hidden niches in the forums is that you get to learn the exact key phrases and search terms that your potential customer is going to search for.No keyword generator software can generate these long tail keywords as accurately as the potential consumers of the product will tell you before they even buy the product.

Now that you have done the surface scratching and built a great list of keywords for the product you wish to promote to this market , it's time to confirm how well these keywords convert into sales. There is no easier and faster method to test the potential within a market than using Google adwords to direct link to the affiliate sales page.

A good way to do this is to set up a quick campaign for the product using the keyword list that you built and analyze 100-200 clicks on the ad before taking a deeper plunge into the market.You have already taken out speculation and the intermediate processes by uncovering the niche , and learning about the product and keywords from your potential customers , no less. Now all that's left to do is track and monitor your campaigns , optimize the keywords that are resulting in sales and discarding the ones that aren't profitable. Watch the video here to learn how to track your conversions.

Once you are convinced that you have unraveled a niche that's a winner , you can now build a full blown campaign around the performing keywords by creating better landing pages and developing on your powerful list of keywords.Did I mention that digging out hidden niches can become a great passion.;-)

Prepare Yourself for A Bigger Adsense Paycheck

2008-05-23T23:08:00.000-07:00

Next time you login into your google adsense account , you may be pleasantly surprised with higher cost per clicks for ads from your existing web pages showing contextual ads from Google content network. Granting a longstanding wish of adwords advertisers , Google content network has opened it's doors to third party vendors to advertise using display ads.

This development means that there will be a wider variety of ads for adsense publisher sites who choose display ads for their sites. Google adsense program will ensure that the advertisers maintain the quality standards. The adsense team believes that the competition for placements on publisher sites will result in increased revenue for publishers.Here is an excerpt from the Adsense announcement :

"Third-party ad serving will introduce a greater variety of advertising into the Google content network, increase the inventory of quality display ads competing to show on AdSense publisher sites, and offer more engaging ads for end users. In the long run, we believe the increased inventory and ad competition will result in increased revenue for many AdSense publishers."

The third party ads will be presently served only in English and adsense will progressively look to expand to other languages.The publisher will have total control on blocking ads that might compete with their own ads showing on the sites. The "Ad review centre" can be used to control the ads showing on your site by filtering display ads that compete. Most adsense publishers have welcomed the development and are expecting a rise in adsense revenue from third party image ads.

Rapid writer- A dream tool for every wealthy affiliate member

2008-05-20T22:35:00.000-07:00

"The name is Rapid Writer"

As promised in their last newsletter before the 6th of May, Wealthy affiliate has now launched their latest software - The Rapid Writer and it's available to every wealthy affiliate member for free. Rapid writer , a great addition to an already amazing bunch of softwares that includes the Clickbank research software, Site rubix drag and drop site builder software, competition spy software, Keyword research tool and keyword generation software, is already beginning to make a big impact in the affiliate marketing industry and even in white hat search engine optimization industry.

Rapid Writer is basically an article generator that has the power to duplicate, triplicate and quadruplicate your articles within a second , no exaggerations here. But that can be done by every other good article generating software out there. Then what is so special about rapid writer that it's being hyped as a dream tool for affiliate marketers ? Is it really hype ?

What's special is that Rapid writer doesn't just generate articles , it analyzes keyword traffic and keyword competition before articles are written on the keywords. If you have been in the internet marketing loop even for a bit , you'd be familiar with the importance of keyword research whether your aim is to get targeted traffic to your website , optimize your landing pages for search engines or generate sales from your articles. The conversions will defy your hard work if your keywords aren't well chosen.

Rapid Writer has a feature called "power score".To demystify the term , it's a score for individual keywords the software generates that predicts your chances of scoring above other internet marketers with that keyword. How is this calculated ? The rapidwriter gathers data from the major search engines , including Google and Yahoo , and very popular article directories on the search results for the exact phrase and broad phrase match for the keyword , on the articles already circulating under that keyword and the popularity of the keyword. All this data is used to generate the power score that predicts whether you should or shouldn't invest your valuable time on that keyword.

It doesn't stop there. If you choose to write an article on that search term, rapid writer shows you the keyword density and word count in real time as you write the article. In addition to that , as you write it you can use the "search thesaurus" and "add replacement" features to substitute any word within the article or to use them later while generating multiple but unique articles by using the "auto content generation" feature.

This greatly cuts down the time element while writing multiple articles. It goes without saying that in the affiliate marketing industry time equates to money. The more quality articles you publish ,the more money you will make.These articles can be written and stored in the rapidwriter under various campaign names for as long as you want for reassessment at a later time.

The Darker side of Rapid Writer

There is a dark side to the rapidwriter , if you want to call it that. The software provides every wealthy affiliate member a large chunk of private label rights articles. Now I call this the dark side because this makes it simpler for them to write newer articles from content already around but without any copyright. However, for some this may be the real reason for liking the rapid writer because the software makes it a no brainer to generate unlimited high quality content in almost no time.

For me the best thing about Rapid writer is that it comes free with every wealthy affiliate membership. This means that as a wealthy affiliate member one can use the rapid writer alongside the other softwares I mentioned and simultaneously learn affiliate marketing from the comprehensive wealthy affiliate tutorials by paying only for the membership and nothing for the softwares , the site rubix website builder , the three domains hosting package and not to mention that as a wealthy affiliate member I am surprised and pleased that unlike other article generator softwares , they don't charge me a fortune or anything at all for the rapid writer.

How to use adwords Conversion Tracking Software to Optimize your campaigns

2008-05-16T23:33:00.000-07:00

A good conversion tracking software can tremendously enhance the ROI for all adwords campaigns.Tracking conversions can be the difference between an average and a great campaign. A Conversion tracking software doesn't just tell you which keywords are getting you the desired results , it also saves you money by isolating the keywords that are getting you clicks but no conversions.

Calculating the ROI for individual keywords helps us understand which keywords are profitable. The formula that you can use to calculate your return on investment is net
profit divided by advertising cost multiplied by 100.

Gross Profit - Ad Cost

ROI = ------------------------ X 100

Ad cost

However, it's not easy to manually track ROI for all your keywords when you are promoting more than one product using several ad groups. That's why using a reliable conversion tracking software becomes so important.

Adwords advertisers can use the conversion tracking software in Google adwords account.It's an extremely efficient software and it's free.Here we will see how to track conversions on your landing page using this software. If you prefer visual demonstration, here's a video from Google adwords that explains how to use the adwords conversion tracking tool :

After logging into your adwords account , click on the "Conversion Tracking" link on the bar at the top of the page. This will take you to the conversion tracking page. Click on the "Create an Action" button on the top right.Now you will reach the following page

Name your action and choose an action from the drop down menu based on what you expect from the action : purchase,sign up ,lead generation etc. In the "revenue for action" box fill in the dollar amount that you expect to earn from each sale. The conversion tracking tool will use this amount to calculate the conversion rate and cost per conversion which will be shown against each keyword for your campaigns after you place the conversion tracking code on the conversion confirmation page or thank you page.Select the conversion page security level depending on whether your landing page is http or https.

Visitors reaching the confirmation page through your adwords ad will see the "Google Sites stat send feedback" text on the confirmation page.Generally, advertisers use the thank you page to place the code. So you will have to customize the background color of the text to blend it with the background color of the confirmation page. Now click on "Save action and get code" button.This will generate a conversion tracking code that you will need to place on the conversion confirmation page or thank you page of your site to track your visitor's actions.

Open the Thankyou page in a webpage editor and locate the closing body tag which looks like this : </body> . Insert the conversion tracking code just before the </body> tag ,save and upload it to your website.The new columns of Conversion rate and cost per conversion will now appear alongside your keywords as shown by the yellow columns in the following image

Once you have the code working you will know which keywords need to be dropped and which ones are already profitable so you can spend more on them to increase your ROI.All you have to do is to take a look at the ad groups that are showing the results generated by the conversion tracking software.

You can also use the conversion tracking software for cross-channel tracking to analyze conversion tracking for non-adwords campaigns.To learn how to reap the full benefits of the adwords conversion tracking software read the fifth chapter of the Adwords made easy ebook.

New template for online wealth vault

2008-05-12T23:46:00.000-07:00

Since the last few days , I've been trying out new templates for online wealth vault. Some of them are third party templates and while they were working well for the blogspot url , they are taking longer to load on the custom domain and hence, I am still searching for a good template.

As you can see, I am presently using a 3 column blogger template.It's better than the previous ones and has been loading faster but I am still looking for a 3 column blogger template that has both the sidebars on one side and devoid of too much graphics. I haven't made up my mind on this one yet. I am updating the widgets every time I try out a new template and it's compatibility with the blogger widgets.

So this is to let you know that for a while you might see some new layouts when you visit this site. I am hoping to soon find a blogger template that I like.Till then, the search continues.
