How To Creating a Web Based Business, Advanced Series III
You are most likely coming here as a follow up to my advanced series articles on creating an online business. Today we are going to cover some additional advanced tips to enhance your web site.
Now that you have your ads running nicely, you will need to monitor traffic that visits your site. A few important factors to keep in mind are as follows:
* How long does a visitor stay on your site?
* What percentages of your visitors browse your site?
* What conversions are you getting from each landing page?
* Unique visitors versus repeat visitors
I want to repeat the cycle that is very important to understand. You want your keywords to bring visitors to the specific landing page that highlights what they are looking for. Put your self in their shoes. Imagine what you would be looking for if you typed a particular keyword in a search engine such as Google and give it to them. If they want to look around after that wonderful, but our goal is to get them to what they want quickly. No one wants to have to look around to find what they want. If we see and ad, we want to get information pertaining to what was in the ad when we click on it.
I would suggest monitoring your keywords on a regular basis ensuring that the traffic being brought to your site is relevant. You may need to use some negative keywords to minimize (PPC) Paid Per Click advertising cost. For example if you have a keyword called work at home, you could get traffic from someone typing in assembly work at home. You can simply put assembly in as a negative keyword and that would prevent them from being directed to your site and you being charged for the click. You can easily see the fine-tuning process that needs to continue on a regular basis.
On a regular basis you will need to fine-tune the following areas:
* Keywords, adding, removing and using negative keywords
* (PPC) Paid Per Click, monitor and keep bids to a minimum
* Conversion rate on campaign ads
* Move best converting programs to hot spots
* Ensure you have a newsletter so you can keep track of your visitors
Over the years I have found many online tools that make this process easier. In the beginning I spent a lot of time doing this on a regular basis, but either way it was time well spent.
I hope you have enjoyed my article series on this topic. There is so much valuable information that is to be learned. I learn daily when working with my site, however having owned business before I can tell you it’s worth it. My time spent working has decreased, money increased and I enjoy life much more. I wish you the best. Just remember it will take time and effort to build a successful online business.

How To Creating a Web Based Business, Advanced Series II
You are most likely coming here as a follow up to my articles on creating an online business. Today we are going to cover some advanced tips on comparing ads so that can help you get a better conversion rate.
Lets assume for sake of argument that your site is created, published and you are running (PPC) ads. I recommend running these all the time, but especially in the beginning to get your site converting well. In fact when I signed up with my host they gave me advertising credits, which really helped out.
This is very important! If you are running ads and you are not getting clicks then it means your ads are not standing out in the crowd. Believe me there are plenty of people on the Internet and you should be getting clicks. You want think about the products and services you are offering on your site when writing your ads. What type of ads would interest you if you were looking for these items.?
As I mentioned before specific keywords bring up both your ads and others. You want your ads to spike their interest enough they will want to take a look.
Okay, when writing your ads I want you to write two ads for each campaign. What does this mean? It means for each ad type you are going to be running two similar ads with the same keywords. On most search engines like Yahoo you can create an ad campaign, which then has your ads in it. You simply create your first ad inside the campaign, add your keywords and your finished with ad number 1. Now, I want you to go back into the ad campaign and create another a slightly different ad. It will automatically use the same keywords. In Yahoo, you will need to then go back to the campaign level, click on the ads and then click on optimize ads button. Please select no and submit. What will happen then is each of your two ads will run, each showing (50) fifty percent of the time. After some time has passed you will be able to tell by the conversion rate, which one is performing best. Simply modify the worst one with some new text and check it again after receiving more hits. You are always improving on your ads therefore your conversion rates only get better. You will need to let them run so that you get at least 50 - 100 clicks before changing.
After getting someone to click on your ad, you want to take him or her to the specific landing page that offers exactly what he or she are looking for. Always remember the steps we talked about from beginning to end. It’s very important to tie them all together nicely. A potential customer wants to click on an ad they think will take care of their needs and go to exactly the product or service they the ad referred to.

Okay, enough for today. See you in Advanced part III.

How To Creating a Web Based Business, Advanced Series I
You are most likely coming here as a follow up to my Part 5 of 5 articles on creating an online business. I hope you found part (1) one through part (5) informative and helpful. Today we are going to cover some advanced tips that can help you build a more efficient and profitable web site.
I have gone step-by-step through the process that I used to build my online business. Obviously, I cannot cover every small detail, but you can email me at any time should you have any questions. I will be happy to help you if I can. Especially if you follow the same steps as I have taken. I am very familiar with this particular process.
Now that your site is published and up and running, what do you do next?
This is very important! You must monitor it real time to ensure your site is converting as high as possible. You will have some products and services that will convert better than others. After a decent sampling time, perhaps a couple of hundred click throughs, I would consider putting the highest converters in the hot spots on your site. You may not understand what a click through is. Lets back up a bit. To understand your site, you will need to know when someone comes to your site, how long they stay, what pages they visit and where they exit. You can find many free counters that will give you that type of data. In addition each program normally offers some tracking information as to how many clicks and sales you have gotten. You are going to need a couple hundred clicks on each link to get a fair comparison. Many people are getting about a (1) one percent conversions rate on most programs. I have some that have converted as high as (25) twenty five percent. I’ll bet you can pick which ones are in my hot spots.
After receiving a couple hundred clicks on your links, you can then adjust your site as required. Here are a couple of questions to ask yourself on a regular basis and helpful hints on how to correct:
* How many clicks are you getting from your advertising? If people are clicking on your ads in droves, but are not staying long, not visiting your other pages nor clicking on any affiliate links then you probably do not have a good match up between your keywords and landing pages.
* How many people are staying around longer then 5 seconds on after coming to your site? If less then 2% are staying less then 5 seconds your either have poor traffic, probably free ads, or a poor keyword to landing page match up. I would suggest only using (PPC) Paid Per Click advertising until you get your website fine tuned a bit. Free ads often bring people clicking just because they are curious and not because they are looking for anything.
* How many of your keywords are bring you good traffic. Many times what you are looking for are long tail phrases, which are more often two to three word phrases not just one. Typically the one-word keywords get a lot of clicks, but no results. Your goal is to be as specific as possible i.e., getting yourself the best possible customers as possible.
Okay, enough for today, I can see that we are going to have to break this up into (3) three parts to get it all covered.
See you in Advanced part two.

How to Use Social Bookmarking to Increase Traffic to Your AdSense Site
Bookmarking your sites, articles, videos and everything else you do online is a great way to get backlinks and drive traffic to your site.
Bookmarking sites are where people go to have a list of their favorite sites online and to share these sites or other related sites with others. These sites can generate traffic to your web site(s) because the bookmarking sites have a very large community. But the most important aspect of this bookmarking sites is that you are getting quality one way backlinks. Backlinks are very important to have if you want to rank high in the search engines for your keywords.
Bookmarking sites can generate traffic more quickly than search engines because they index and categorize content faster than the search engines. So be sure to have a well planned and targeted bookmarking campaign and you will drive free targeted traffic to your web site.
When you start to bookmark everything you do online, here is a few of the main sites that you should be using:
1. Digg - this site is for people to submit stories that they find on the internet. When other people like your story, they digg it. The more diggs a story gets, the higher it is ranked. If you can get enough diggs your story can appear on the front page with the potential of getting thousands of views.
2. Technorati - is one of the main authority sites when it comes to blogs. They monitor the content, comments and links between.
3. Stumble upon - Bookmarking or telling people which web sites that you stumble upon and think are interesting.
4. Del.icio.us - high authority bookmarking site with a large community.
when you are bookmarking be sure to add the correct tags to your bookmarks. This will guarantee that they are seen and will increase links to your site. When adding tags, be sure to pay attention to the format that the site uses.
The two most common formats are comma separated and space separated. Make sure you follow the correct format so you get the full benefit of each bookmark.
Bookmarking your sites manually can be very time consuming. Here are two tools that will help you make the process go a little faster.
1. onlywire.com
2. socialmarker.com
So get started and sign up for accounts at these bookmarking sites and remember to bookmark everything you do online.
Now that you know that social bookmarking is a great stragety to increase website traffic-wouldn’t you like to have your own websites and blogs to bookmark that are set up with google adsene and more to generate you income? Get your adsense templates and reap the rewards by going to: http://www.professionaladsensetemplates.com

How to earn money with Domain Flipping
Posted by moneyhat | Filed under Domains and Webhosts, List of opportunities, Online business, Tactics and SEO
I saw this great article at ezinearticles.com. This is great article for this blog and it explains the art of domain flipping. This is one business modell which all webmasters should know at some level. Some day I will write step-by-step guides to domain flipping. Now let’s enjoy this article.

The Wonderful World of Domain Flipping - Flipping Expired Domains to Your Advantage
Domain flipping is an exciting and a promising technique of making your expired domain a successful money earner, as well as a stable income generator. There is lot to learn from domain flipping and its wonderful principles. Domain flipping is an art of converting a dead domain into an entity that can make you rich and prosperous. Of late, domain flipping is becoming increasingly popular due to its many sided benefits and advantages. It is also a flexible way of using your expired domains to create meaningful income generating opportunity.
There are several meanings and definitions to domain flipping, what it can offer you and how it can help you use your expired domains. Due to its contrasting definitions, what makes sense and meaning to one person may be entirely different to another. Thus, you will need to learn and understand the description of domain flipping in its broader scope and context. Once you understand the broad meaning of the process, it becomes so easy to apply the principles and logic to give a big fillip to your expired domain business. Here are some simple definitions of domain flipping and what it could mean to you:
Definition Number 1: You can buy a good domain name and sell it as soon as possible based on its saleable characters and merits. This is quite easy and straightforward. However, the biggest disadvantage attached with this process, is the low retail prices accrued from selling.
Definition Number 2: You can purchase a good expired domain name, start a legal business based on it, and later sell it for a premium with the domain name as the business name. This is a smart process of creating a good source of income, because you are providing some thing extra other than the expired domain. However, the downside with this method is that you need a lot of time to develop the site.
Definition Number 3: This is an extraordinary process of transforming an expired domain name into a fully loaded web portal with relevant contents, and later integrating the site with well known search engine directories, to make it visible on top of the search engines. It is also made commercially more viable by adding a good PPC campaign to enhance the viability of the web portal. Once you feel that the web portal is fully developed, you can sell it off for a very high price to interested parties.
Now, you can decide what exactly you need from your expired domain name. However, any of the above three domain flipping methods are good and practical based on what you are looking for and how you want to dispose off the domain. If you choose the last option, it means that you are ready to work hard to create a fully developed web site by pouring some money and time.
In spite of its numerous advantages and benefits, domain flipping could be quite negative, when inexperienced domain traders attempt to buy and sell domain names. In many cases, they may buy unnecessary and useless domains and later sell them at pathetically low prices. Thus, you will need to learn to analyze and assess expiring domain names to know more about their commercial viability. Domain flipping is a tremendous opportunity to those people who are patient enough to wait for the best time and great selling prices. But, developing a great web site is the only known way, if you want to successfully flip a domain to its fullest possible potential.
