Added for You - How to Build Free Long Term Targeted Traffic That Builds and Builds
Search engine listing delays have come to be called the Google Sandbox effect are actually true in practice at each of four top tier search engines in one form or another. MSN, it seems has the shortest indexing delay at 30 days. This article is the second in a series following the spiders through a brand new web site beginning on May 11, 2005 when the site was first made live on that day under a newly purchased domain name.First Case Study ArticlePreviously we looked at the first 35 days and detailed the crawling behavior of Googlebot, Teoma, MSNbot and Slurp as they traversed the pages of this new site. We discovered the each robot spider displays distinctly different behavior in crawling frequency and similarly differing indexing patterns.For reference, there are about 15 to 20 new pages added to the site daily, which are each linked from the home page for a day. Site structure is non-traditional with no categories and a linking structure tied to author pages listing their articles as well as a "related articles" index varied
There is another serious problem by using PPC search engine traffic to build your business. When you stop advertising, guess what? Your traffic stops. Immediately. There is no residual long term benefit. Website Promotion by Writing Articles
This brings us to what is in my opinion the very best way to build traffic and a long term viable profitable business on the Internet. You do need some skills and writing ability or the means to put together good content. Nothing good on the net ever comes too easily or for free.
However, if you can follow a few not too hard steps you stand a very good chance of building a solid long tem business.

You must have content rich websites that are all about one theme per domain. The theme ideally will be something you know a good bit about so that y
With an online store, the visitor clicks to your site, looks around and, most of the time leaves without buying. This leaves you wondering what is going on. Unlike a retail store where you can see the visitor, ask feedback (without any commitment from the shopper) and you get an opinion quickly and to the point. This is not always easy online.There are a couple of ways to seek feedback. Surveys are one way. One good service is: http://surveymonkey.comEasy to use and set up also, free limited version for smaller sites. To get the most response you have to provide a reason for a shopper to take the time to give you information. A gift, a special report or downloadable software, something that is easy to manage and provide automatically.The limited part is sometimes visitors do not want to give out personal details. You still want to know what the visitor does. Are they leaving right away, which pages they find most interesting, how they got there, etc? A good tracking program, will tell you this and more.http://www.hitslink.comHitslink is a comprehensive program without the big price tag
In my last article on website promotion for travel sites I stated that the promotion of rich content themed websites by using travel articles [ website promotion ] is the most cost effective way of promoting your website.
I use travel sites as a good example of this technique as travel offers an incredible number of niches that one can work with and in addition the travel industry gets a tremendous number of searches every day from all over the world. Besides, I like to travel.)
I stand by the statement and here's why.
There are three primary online ways to promote websites in the hope of making a profit from your online business. The first is search engine optimization ( SEO ). The second is by using pay per click ( PPC ) search engines. And the third is by constructing themed content websites then promoting those sites by writing and promoting articles that you distribute over the Internet.
For the average web entrepreneur SEO is just too difficult to master. Even the Gurus who think they have mastered SEO can run into difficulties when the search engines change their algorithms in an effort to better match up what people are searching for with the landing pages they are directed to by the search results.
The algorithms also frequently change if the search engines decide that too many folks are using what they consider to be deceptive practices in an effort to get better page ranking and placement on the results pages. In my opinion, you are far better off to just keep building solid rich content websites and leave the website promotion by SEO stuff to those who enjoy the challenge of working with ever changing algorithms.
At it's best SEO is a game that is part art, part science, and part luck. At times it will work to your advantage --- for awhile. I just don't think it is a great way to build your long term web business.
The use of PPC search engines just isn't as cost effective as it used to be. This also include Google Adwords. Not that you can't devise ad campaigns that will generate a ton of traffic. You can.
However, as larger players with deep pockets and sometimes with little Internet savvy have entered the Internet advertising world the cost you pay for your keywords goes up and up. You had better know what you are doing in the PPC world or you will cost yourself a lot of money in a big hurry.
Google is an especially interesting case in how the "Google Dance" can destroy your web traffic and business overnight. Google is a top notch search engine, no doubt about it. And they are constantly working to become better. Nothing wrong with that either.
But Google has the engineering and IT firepower to be constantly changing their algorithms. Many a webmaster has gotten out of bed one not so fine morning to find that his top ten search engine results pages for all of his important keywords have suddenly dropped completely out of sight. Welcome to the Google Dance.
Recently Google has decided to require that landing pages meet certain quality standards. This is somehow built into their algorithms. If Google decides that your landing pages, which might be getting great conversions, are not exactly what they are looking for the cost of your keywords may just skyrocket to the point that you can no longer afford them. You can delete the keywords or you have to try to "optimize" your pages to bring the cost per keyword back into an affordable range. Good luck.

If you have a GPS, Global Positioning System in your car, you already appreciate the value of knowing where you are at all times. We don't have one of these GPS systems and I'm thinking about investing in one for our next vehicle. Although, I have a wonderful sense of direction, really, I prefer to rent a vehicle with a GPS system when traveling. A GPS system is invaluable on the road with the system alerts that notify you when you get off track or as you approach an important off ramp. The satellite system is a great tool for people on the move. If you think driving is the only way to use a GPS system, think again. A GPS sales system saves a business time and lost customers. The built in prospect and customer tracking system reduces the loss of opportunities and customers. It is almost like tracking a FEDEX package across the country in that you will know where the sales opportunity is all the time.The Sales GPS SystemOne of the reasons salespeople get lost in sales is they don't have a map. Having a map is critical to ending any journey with success. Unfortunately, many business owners an

Some 93% of communication is in body language and tone. So with the written word as in this text, emails are words on a screen, or on paper if printed.With the written word, there are none of the other hints at meaning which we receive in verbal communication to give the email congruence. E.g. there is no tone, pitch, warmth, no facial expression or body language. So, it is amazingly easy to mis-communicate using email.Whilst email is designed to make our working lives easier, it totally messes things up if used inappropriately.Email is entirely appropriate for normal simple communication, to quickly transfer small documents and information to a number of people and to confirm appointments and meetings. It is also useful to confirm conversation content.But - where there could be any doubt as to the meaning or tone of the email, then it is inappropriate and - don’t send it.!When the response to an email is confused or even abrupt then the initial email conveyed the wrong(?) message. A phone call is required urgently to smooth the way.The are times where emails should not be

Derivatives have come under general scrutiny in recent times, owing to the use of hedging instruments by companies for financial mismanagement. The misuse of derivatives has put many companies in the legal line of fire. The popular notion that derivatives caused the downfall of companies like Enron, is however, not true. The derivatives by themselves are not damaging, their misuse can cause trouble for businesses.What are Derivatives? Derivatives are financial arrangements by which your company earns profits based on the functioning of an underlying asset.If used properly, derivatives can shore up your company’s defense against many economic problems.Advantages of Derivatives: 1) Flexibility: Derivatives can be used with respect to commodity price, interest and exchange rates and equity price. They can be used in many ways.2) Risk Reduction: Derivatives can protect your business from huge losses. In fact, derivatives allow you to cut down on non-essential risks.3) Stable Economy: Derivatives have a stabilizing effect on the economy by reducing the number of businesses that go under

However, if you can follow a few not too hard steps you stand a very good chance of building a solid long tem business.
One
You must have content rich websites that are all about one theme per domain. The theme ideally will be something you know a good bit about so that you can write the copy in your own words and demonstrate to your visitors that you are an expert, or at least someone who has a good bit of knowledge about your subject and has information to share that is worth reading.
Travel sites are especially good for website promotion in that there are just so many places you can travel to and give your own detailed information about your experiences and the lay of the land.
Two
Once your website is up and running, and has at least 20 tightly related themed pages, start writing articles that relate to your website theme. These articles should not be blatant ads, that won't work at all. Rather they should be informative and present useful information in a direct friendly style that will be welcomed by your soon to be website visitors.
At the end of your article include a short bio box that includes a link back to your website. The reason for this will soon become obvious.
Three
Now for the exciting part.
Once each article is in good shape ( correctly formated, no spelling errors, good grammar ) sign up with an article distribution service. This is an Internet service that supplies content to web publishers and who are always looking for new authors and content to distribute.
You can run a search to find these article distribution companies. Try (without the quotes) "article distribution" , and "article directory". You can also check out the following professional article distribution services.
Idea Marketers http://www.ideamarketers.com/writers.cfm
Article City http://www.articlecity.com/article_submission.shtml
Ezine Articles http://ezinearticles.com/submit/
After signing up for the service read and carefully follow their instructions and you will soon be good to go. Your well written articles will start appearing all over the net and stand a good chance of high search engine placement ( for free) in the search engines as well. You will be receiving a ton of website promotion for very modest, if any cost, other then the time involved. Why Article Writing and Distribution Works Well
There are several reasons why article writing and article distribution will give you a big website promotion boost.
One
As soon as you post your article to the article distribution site you get a one way link back to your website from a high quality website that will usually have at least a PR of 5. By posting at several article distribution services you will receive a number of these high quality links. That will help your own page rank a bit.
Two When you post your articles you should make sure that your bio includes a link back to your website. When you post you agree that your article may be used by other webmasters as content for their own sites. Thus if you have written a highly informative article in a popular category you may over time have one way links back to your site from a large number of high quality high traffic websites. This can produce a flow of a lot of lasting free traffic to your website.
Three
The search engines love the high quality article distribution sites as they contain directories of just what rhe search engines are looking for; good quality content. The search engines will visit the article distribution sites frequently as new material is posted everyday. This means that your own site will likely be indexed quickly.
Therefore, there is a good chance that the page your article is posted on will be indexed right away by the search engines. Now you have a search engine listing that has a good chance of being a top twenty one if you have written a good quality article that
