Internet Promotion And SEO – Not The Same

Internet Promotion And Search Engine Optimization Are Not The Same

As a business owner or manager, you probably realize the importance your website in making sales or promoting your brand or message. Your website is often the primary resource for clients, customers, and information seekers.  Without these visitors, your site is not adding anything to your bottom line and may even be costing your business money!  You are wasting money paying a web designer money for constant updates to your site if the site isn’t converting visitors into revenue. But do you know how to get visitors to your site?

Internet Promotion And SEO – Two Different Ways To Get More Visitors

Internet promotion is leveraging the power of the internet to bring visitors to your site. “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results…” [1] To get a better idea of how each one has a place in your online marketing strategy, let’s take a look at how each one accomplishes this task.

Internet Promotion

Internet promotion can be thought of advertising and marketing for your website. This can accomplished in many different ways. The most commonly recognized and accepted way is advertising on another website that attracts the same visitor demographic that you want to target. Another popular and widely accepted form of internet promotion is the use of social networking. This grassroots promotion includes sites like Facebook and Myspace and also the use of blogging and micro-blogging. Search engine marketing is a form of advertising in which you ad is placed in a search engine results page when someone is using a search engine.

Other forms of internet promotion that aren’t as widely used or accepted are traffic exchanges, paid to read emails, paid to surf sites, and viral marketing such as ebooks. These typically are low cost/low reward methods that do not produce long term results. Instead they are used as a “short term stop gap” measure or as a form of blitzkrieg marketing used to deliver large amounts of traffic for a short duration. A good example of blitzkrieg internet marketing is the use of a traffic exchange, paid to read email, paid to surf, and search engine marketing over the period of 3-4 days leading up to a release of a new product or a massive sale.

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization, also known as SEO, is the manipulation of website code, site structure, inbound and outbound links, and site content to provide a favorable position in search engine results. For example, search engines recognize bold text and place more importance on the emphasized term search engine optimization than the do on the non-emphasized term search engine optimization. Including keywords into your site and page web addresses can have a positive affect on search engine results placement. Finally, the number and quality of links pointing to and away from your site can affect your results placement.

Online Marketing Strategy

As you begin to develop your website, a very important consideration to have early on is your online marketing strategy. Simply put, how you are going to get people to your site. SEO has a lot of importance in the initial design of the site and slowly tapers off to periodic maintenance and support. Internet promotion initially is important to get the word out that the site is live and people should visit it. After that, promotion is a small daily task until there is a new release, sale, or important news to spread.

As with most businesses, your internet marketing budget is limited. It is important to deploy your resources at the correct time to maximize the rate of return on every dollar spent. By identifying the differences between internet promotion and SEO you can now get the most out of every dollar spent.

Paid To Read Email (basics)

Getting Started With Paid To Read Emails

Not too long ago I saw an ad that touted I could make money online just by reading emails. I was thinking to myself, “Yeah right, get paid cash to read emails“. But I knew that it was possible to earn points towards redeeming prizes. So I signed up for a few. Well they weren’t lying. You can earn money by reading emails. Not only that, but I am living proof of that. Here is how it works:

  1. You sign up for the Paid to Read program, more commonly referred to as PTR. All of the ones I have found are free.
  2. You decide to either have the program deliver emails to your personal email account or to the sites inbox. I recommend having them sent to your email account. This makes sure you see that you have PTR emails waiting.
  3. You open the PTR email and click on the highlighted link.
  4. Once you click on the link, a new page or tab will open up. At that point the top frame will show a timer and the bottom frame will show the web page.
  5. Take a look at what’s on the page and once the timer is done counting down, you will be credited for that visit.
  6. You are credited anywhere between 1/4 cent to 3 cents per email. You can generally cash out after $2.00.

It really is that simple! I know what you are saying, the emails don’t pay much at all. And you are right, you won’t make a lot of money fast. But it is ez-internet-money. The following is a list of how much ez internet-money I earned between September 6th, 2009 and October 11th, 2009.

  1. Dolphin PTR $9.24
  2. Balloon Mails 2.76
  3. ADS NET $1.47
  4. Classical Mail $.92
  5. Matrix Mail $.42
  6. Hits 4 Pay $10.18
  7. Word Linx $.11

The grand total for the five weeks is $25.10. To be honest, this figure isn’t a true representation of earnings potential. Not all sites were subscribed to five weeks ago. Some have only be active for a week. At this rate I will have earned $261.04 for the year. The sites that I signed up for were simply chosen because I found them first. I have found over 35 different PTR sites. If you were to extrapolate this figure, it would be feasible to earn $125 a month.

As you can plainly see, $125/month does not equate to a full time job. But don’t let that stop you from signing up. Each of the above sites offers an affiliate plan. What this means is that if you refer someone to the program, you ear a percentage of what they make. Most of them are %10. Some programs pay you 5 levels deep. For example, if I refer ten people earning %10 of their earnings, I have made equal to the amount I earned by my own clicks. If you continue that out to the 2nd or 3rd level, you can estimate the earnings potential from the exponential amount of referrals that are possible.

I’ll go into depth about how to maximize your earnings with these PTR programs in a later blog. So either book mark this site or add the RSS feed to your reader. I share everything I find freely and openly. No news letter that you will be spammed with. Until next time, best of luck in all of your endeavors.
