Add You - 7 Do it Yourself Techniques to Get Higher Rankings in the Major Seach Engines
Would you stop watching a national playoff were the teams were tied before the winner was declared? Would you stop watching a horse race before the winning horse crossed the finish line? Of course not! Yet, many business leaders expect their employees to continue the game or the race without knowing if and when the game or race was won, loss or even a near win.After 30 years in business focusing on performance improvement, I am still at a loss when companies do not regularly communicate progress toward the business goals as identified within the strategic plan especially when these same business leaders tell me that employee motivation is a problem. This attitude and behavior of not communicating business results negatively and directly affects the performance of all involved and is truly counter productive to achieving the desired results.When we look at professional sports, everyone usually waits until the game is over because they want to know who won unless the game is a runaway. Even when teams are down in the last inning or in the last quarter, faithful fans stay at the arena or tuned into the television because one never knows when that grand slam or a 80 yard punt return might happen.Is your business game any different? To ensure consistent and constant execution of your strategic plan demands essential business communication planning and skills. Business communication should be planned so that your employees are continually motivated toward achieving those business goals that you are the business leader have established.To what purpose does it serve by not communicating the results of the current team's efforts? Are you afraid that someone may say something and reveal proprietary information? As the business leader, you can share infor
Let's face it, people these days are very busy and don't have much time to fool around. They need to find most valuable information, or the best products or services at the lowest prices-very quickly.

1) Discover, invent, or create a product that will fill an important need.
2) Price it reasonably so that anyone can afford it.

If you’re involved as an affiliate for any product, you’ve probably wrestled with how you can sell the product on eBay.After all, eBay offers you a massive potential audience of 168 million members. And people who read about your product will likely have found it by searching, thus saying they are interested in the product area in which your product resides.The bad news, however, is that there is no easy way to market affiliate products on eBay!First of all, if you haven’t heard of affiliate selling, here’s a very quick description of how it works.Fundamentally, selling an affiliate product requires that you get interested buyers to click on a special link. This link takes the person to the product owner’s sales page. More importantly, the link also contains your unique affiliate code. It is this code which ensures that sales made from your introductions are recorded in your affiliate account. Finally, if your prospect purchases the product, it is the owner who handles product delivery and who also pays you your sales commission payment.On eBay, you could easily set up an auction saying how marvelous your affiliate product is. You will certainly attract a number of people who would be interested in buying. The problem is, you have no legitimate way of selling it to eBay members!This is because it’s against eBay’s rules to have a link in your auction page which takes your readers away to another website to make a sale. So, you can’t just create a sales page with your affiliate link.Also, if you think about it, you don’t even have the affiliate product to deliver. There’s no mechanism for you to make the sale on eBay, and deliver the product. If you recall, this is handled automatically by the product owner.So here are two w
In one of my previous articles I have written about 8 marketing techniques that no longer work. See article at http://www.ibuildstar.com/No_More_Scams.htm. You might experience some minimum success with pop-ups, e-commerce and affiliate programs; but if you rely on these to keep your business afloat then you're in for a big disappointment.
What I will tell you about being a success on the internet in these highly competitive times comes from my experiences of trial and failure. The majority of those earning a full time income on the internet are those who started out when the web was fairly new. They discovered the 'niche' market and coined it before it has become highly competitive as it is today.
Many of those popular e-books that are written on internet marketing are obsolete because they were written during those mighty 'gold rush' days that occoured during the early stages of the internet. They told you that banner ads, pop-ups, joining link farms and safelists were the easiest ways to get traffic to your website. That was then, this is now. The most effective website marketing right now is:
Search Engine Optimization
The search engines were the beginning of internet marketing, and they will be the future. Let's face it, people are getting smarter and more sophisticated about what they're looking for on the internet. Search engines are getting smarter and more sophisticated about how people will find you on the internet. Banners ads now get a click-through rate of less than .01%. This means that for every 10,000 impressions you may get 1 visitor. The reason for this is because people are ignoring the banners. Pop-ups and pop-unders and being stopped by pop-up blockers because they tie up the web-surfers experience.

This is a scary statistic. Imagine how much more successful your event would be if you could get just half of those "undecided" folks to register. Imagine how much more energy there would be in the room, not to mention how much extra cash would be in your company's bank account.It's NOT an insignificant number.This is why automatic follow-up with registrants who "bail out" before they're done securing their seat is very important.Online registration makes life far easier on both event planners and registrants, but the right system can also increase attendance and decrease cost for your company.If you don't have an automated way of tracking folks who abandon registration forms half way through and following up with them, you're leaving a lot of money on the table. No, it's worse than that. You're burning up cash that would otherwise be yours!Think I'm over exaggerating? Think again...Let's say you're shooting for 200 people at your event. And let's say 300 people hit the registration form. If 50% of them bail out during the registration process, you're left with only 150 registrations. But if you're able to capture even 20% of those who started to register but didn't finish, that's an additional 30 registrants! Of course, the numbers will be different for every event. And, the larger the expected turnout, the larger the impact.This is where the automatic follow-up comes in. If you have this capability, you can often persuade 20%, 30%, or more to come to your event who would not have come otherwise.If you're a full-time event planner, you'll look good in front of your superiors for increasing attendance. And if you're a business owner, you'll experience the joy of a fatter bank account.Right now, most event r

When a franchisee company offers for sale of their method of doing business to the public and use of their brand-name they must list the information in a concise format in the franchise agreement. Additionally when a franchisor wishes to expand their franchise system through the use of master franchises, they will need to further describe how the master franchise is expected to go about the selling of additional franchises and give an overview of exactly what is expected in the agreements.Below you will find an excerpt from my company's franchise agreement that dealt with the grant of right to sell franchises under my brand-name. This may give you some good ideas of how such things are done;1.1.1 Grant of Right to Sell FranchisesOnce Franchisee Core Services operating franchise has been established and operating for a period of ninety (90) calendar days, Franchisor grants to Franchisee the right to sell to other parties franchises of The Car Wash Guys or Wash Guys Systems (the right to become a “Master Franchise”) within the boundaries of Franchisee designated Marketing Area only. If Franchisee has not established and have operational the Core Services franchise within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days of delivery of Franchisee’s initial car wash truck/unit, this right may be terminated by Franchisor.------- ------- --------Of course if you are a franchisor and are considering master franchises as a method of expanding your business model you should also realize that it is not as easy as it looks. In fact it is quite a litigious industry and therefore you'll need to seek legal counsel and find your self a competent, knowledgeable and an experienced franchise attorney who is capable of drawing up these master franchise agreements.

We started out on an advanced concept of dealing with resistance from customers. As we got started I could see the looks of confusion and frustration. This was not going to be easy to get through to them.“Ok, that’s great”, says one participant, “but we will never get the time to do this. They hang up on us before that! Can you help us get them talking long enough to get to that point?”Now I had to hide my frustration and tossed the prepared material to the side. “Ok, give me the skinny on what you’re dealing with!”Did I get them talking then! For 10 minutes they unloaded on being unable to crack the tough customers that would not even give them the time of day. Have any of them yourself?So here is what we did…..to get the group thinking a bit differently.I’m not sure why, but it seems that sales people forget they are also buyers. For some reason we get into the sales role and loose all understanding of what it is like to be the buyer! It’s the same with management and employee.“This is what we need to do; you are all buyers and your phone rings with a salesperson on the other end. What is most important to you in giving them any time at all?”As they listed several items like benefits, fix problems, save money, new ideas, trust and several others. The next question is, “Of all the items listed, if you could only have one, which would you choose?”The close to unanimous answer was “Trust”!That is interesting, as a customer you would choose “Trust” as the most important element in buying from a salesperson. Yet you approach the prospect with your product!We continued to discuss what this word “Trust” meant to them as buyers and why it was so important. They brought out what made a “T

Professional search engine optimization can be done by improving 7 parts of your website. We will explore each one and show you how to prepare your web pages to rank high in the search engines
1) URL issues-Check to make sure there are no broken links on your page. If you have other navigational features such as Flash, Image Maps, Javascript Menu, etc. This is good for your visitors, but the search engines can't read or follow them. Since search engines follow regular hyperlinks from one page to another in order to index sites they will likely view this page as a dead end. This can hurt your chances of being indexed in the future because search engines tend to ignore dead end pages. The search engines will follow your links to the other pages on your website, or to other websites to determine how relevant your web pages might be. The greater the relevance, the higher the engines will rank your pages whenever someone searches for your keywords.
2)Page Issues-Make sure that you have the three most important meta-tags on your website: Title, Description, and Keywords. The single most important meta-tag to the search engines now is the 'title' tag. This is what they look at first to consider what your website is all about. Then they look at your description tag, and then your keyword tag.
Your web page should have more than 200 words of text on your page in order for the search engines to consider it worth listing. With in these 200+ words you need to have your main keyword phrase listed at least 4 times. This keyword density gives your page credibility with the search engines because they see that your page's topic related to your keywords.
* This text should include your most important keyword phrases, but should remain logical & readable
* Be sure to use those phrases that you have used in your other tags (i.e. metas, alt, headings, title, etc.) during the optimization process.
* Add additional copy filled pages to your site. For example, how-to articles, tips or tutorials. These types of content pages not only help you in the search engines, but many other sites will
