I’m on the road doing business. I’m not at liberty to say much about this business except that it must be done at this time. Maybe some day I will be able to reveal more in a book, or, if someone write my life story.
Unfortunately, I have to keep this post short because of limited time. I would really like to go over the recent comments my visitors have made here and perhaps comment on the comments.
Untill I get back next week, please keep commenting on my home business and internet marketing related posts.

Those of us who have used this free tool to control the cost of keywords when starting search engine PPC advertising campaigns, have been disappointed to find that the webpage where the tool was located now says “gone.”
Read Brad Fallon’s take on this situation: “R .I. P. Overture Keyword Tool“
As many of you are by now aware, Overture’s “keyword suggestion tool” has gone dead this week after about a month of sporadic behavior. I seem to recall reading that this was part of Yahoo’s plan at the tail end of last year, but I can’t seem to dig up a reference to it anymore. It appears the “view bids” tool is still functioning at this time, but I’m unsure how long it will remain in service. If I understand correctly, this is part of Yahoo’s strategy involving the updates to their PPC service (which you may have heard of by its codename “Panama”).

Recent Comscore stats show Technorati continuing to surge in traffic, more than tripling since a year ago. Founder and CEO Dave Sifry recently mentioned about this staggering growth in a blog post. Technorati
’s internal numbers showed massive growth early this year.
Simply put, Affiliate Marketing is taking another Company’s (Affiliate site) product and/or service and promote it as if it is your own. The company then pays you a commission when the customer you’ve directed to their website makes a purchase. The good things about this type of marketing are these,
1. You do not have to stock or store products
2. Some products are delivered instantly to the customer through downloads, or the company ships directly to the customer.
3. You don’t have to have a website of your own to profit from this, although it is preferred when you advertise on some search engines.
How do you get paid?
When you join an affiliate program thy will give you a unique code that identifies you. You are the only one with that code. This code is embedded in the link that you use to send traffic to that site. When the prospect clicks on your ad or link and goes to the affiliate website, that code goes with them and when they make a purchase you are credited with the sale.
You don’t have a website?
Marketers with their own websites place links on their pages (Among other marketing techniques) to the affiliate sites. However, you can bypass the no website roadblock by employing a few methods such as, Placing ads on search engines, or e-zine which do not require you to have a site of your own. When the customer clicks on the ad with your code in it, they will not know it is not your site if you do it correctly.
My last post showed how prominent blogs are stealing image search traffic from anguilla-beaches.com by using its Google-#1-ranked image of Jay-Z and Beyonce. This post offers options about how to respond…

Ken’s Blog
My daughter has been using Site Build It! to grow her Web site about the Caribbean island of Anguilla for four years. Now 18, she has averaged only 1-2 hours per week on Anguilla-Beaches.com.
She is found for over 12,000 keywords related to Anguilla and has one of the “Big 4″ sites about Anguilla. The site receives thousands of visitors per day and has the highest Alexa traffic ranking of any Anguilla-related site.
Besides traffic from “text search,” she also has many first-page SERPs for Google Image search. So she generates a ton of image search traffic, including searches for celebrities who visit the island.
But recently she had the misfortune for Google’s image search for Jay-Z to put her site at Page 1, #1. Why “misfortune”?…
Free advertising is not worth going after because you get what you pay for. You must spend good money on advertising if you want quality traffic to your website… This was basically the advise given by the owner of a “home based business” blog to his readers, Which I read several hours ago.
He is correct in one sense and wrong in another. There are some places on the web such as free classified sites where, you would be better off standing at a street corner and hand out circulars to advertise your business, because they are a waste of your time. You just would not get the targeted traffic if any at all you would need for your site.
However being in the generic listing on the first page of a result page when a searcher/potential customer is looking for your product on search engines such as Google or Yahoo is free traffic worth acheiving. This, as you know, is not an easy thing to accomplish, but, it can be accomplished through methods such as writing articles and submitting them to article directories although, this is getting harder because of saturation. Another method is exchanging links. Google still rates your site based on how many high ranking links you have coming into your site.
Another source of free traffic is satisfied customers. A satisfied customer will either return to your site and or will tell others about you. A good recommendation from a satisfied customer is as good as gold.
Now on the other hand if you are starting out with much money to spend, by all means spending on search engine advertising or e-zine ads. Just be sure to watch how much you spend vs how much you’re making. the cost could add up fast, especially on google.
Not everyone has a big budget to work with in the early days of an internet business, or even an off-line business. I can identify with that. that is why I believe in exploiting the quality free avenues as much as possible. I’ll talk about it more later.
