Six Tips For Perfect Email Media Pitches
Your media pitches can go straight over the plate. With a little forethought, and a few tips, you can throw fewer balls and more media relations strikes.Brevity is the soul of wit. Shakespeare could have been giving media relations tips when he penned this gem several hundred years ago. If you can't get to the point in your subject line in 10 words or less, you need to work on your message. Keep the subject line short and to the point, and include the time frame if it is important to the pitch. For instance: "Entrepreneurs Storming NC General Assembly Tuesday"Surprise! If you have a startling or interesting fact, use it as a hook. I am developing a story idea about local home prices. My initial thought for a subject line is: "Average Lake Norman Home Listing Price Spikes To $413,000." Recently I used these subject lines to get coverage: "Interest Rates Hit Six Month Low" and "No Credit Score, No Problem".Humor Me. Humor is not for everyone. It is best to use it only if you know the reporter has a sense of humor or appreciates quirky items. Maria Stainer, assistan
bmasters are posting articles or information to these blogs with a link back to their site. It’s also a good idea to open your own blog to post updates to your website. When you open a blog at blog sites such as Blogger (www.blogger.com), these sites have a higher status in the search engines and you may find that the blog you create for your site ranks higher than the actual website itself.Your media pitches can go straight over the plate.

14. Newsletters
A Newsletter option is definitely a plus to have on your site. When users click on a newsletter link on your site, they can enter their information. Whenever you have an update on your site, you submit a newsletter to all the users that signed up. The users get this email newsletter and return to your site, thereby increasing your traffic.
15. Tell-A-Friend Links
Add a “Tell-A-Friend” link to your page. When the user clicks it, they will be taken to a form where they will be able to enter a friend’s email address and send your site to them. This is a great way to get users involved in the process of increasing your web traffic.
16. Create a Community
This isn’t so much a way to increase traffic as it is a way to get the previous traffic to return to your site. By starting a community with a forum such as the o
How I Make Money on the Internet - Part 1: eBay
Ever wanted to make a little extra cash online, or wanted to turn your internet career into something big? Then this is the two part article for you, focusing on the main aspects of making money on the internet, and how you can generate a good revenue solely from advertising and auctioning. In this first part I will look at eBay, and how you and others can easily make good money, just from selling online.I started off selling various items on eBay that I no longer needed around the house, things from young children's books, to unused computer keyboards. At first, the results can be a little disappointing, especially when you are new to the auctioning system, and when you have no feedback to rely on.After a while however, as my item description began to get more professional in appearance, I realised that people were starting to actually bid on my items, things I thought never would have sold! Although I generated a small amount of profit from each item I sold, there were also fees which I had to pay for, Paypal fees, Listing Fees, Final Value Fee, Postage....it all adds up!When you

One strategy that many website owners utilize is “Link Exchanges”. This is where the webmaster emails other websites that have a similar theme to their own and ask if those websites would like to exchange links. If you get enough links back to your webpage from other sites, it can really bring in a lot of traffic. Also, the more links you have back to your website, the higher your website will rank in popular search engines, such as Google.
2. Directory Submission
There are numerous website directories on the Internet and it can be very beneficial, as far as traffic is concerned, to submit your website to these directories. It’s recommended that you not waste your time submitting to every directory you find. Just the major directory sites will probably be enough.
3. Alexa: Important Factor
Alexa.com is a website that has a popular rating system for websites. Many of the other search engines base the value of your website on how high your rating is at Alexa. So, an important strategy for getting traffic is to try to get the highest rating at Alexa as possible.
4. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
This is probably the most useful technique to get visitors to your website. It involves altering the content of your website so that it is structured for the popular search engines to find you and index your site on in their Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).
5. Forum Signatures
Posting on forums can be a very productive way of getting traffic. By simply including your website in your signature, everyone that reads your post will be a likely candidate to clicking on the link and visiting your website. (Important Note: It is not recommended that you advertise your website in your forum posts, unless the site allows this. Many users consider this to be SPAM and it’s possible to get banned from the forum this way.)
6. Email Signatures
A useful technique is to include your website link in the signature of your emails. Every time you send an email out, it is like you are sending out an advertisement as well. You may think that because it’s your friends, then there isn’t much potential for traffic; however, you would be surprised how your email is often forwarded to others and can result in many people learning about your site through your signature.
7. Viral Emails
Sending a funny or interesting email out to friends with the intention that they will forward that email can result in a large amount of people getting a link to your website. Just remember to include a link to your site and before you send it out, that it is something interesting like a joke, story, or funny picture. Nobody likes to get forwarded annoying chain letters that tell them they will die if they don’t forward your email.
8. Articles
Writing articles is a great way to get traffic. The way it works is you write an article and at the end you include your name and website url. Then you submit this article to the dozens of article submission websites that give permission to webmasters to reuse the article on their website (as long as the article remains unchanged).
What happens after that is webmasters take your article and feature it on their own website with your link at the end. It’s not uncommon for one article to generate hundreds of back links to your website.
9. Tutorials
Like articles, you can also get a lot of people through creating tutorials. You submit the tutorials to the major tutorial submission sites and sit back as the traffic pours in. It’s not uncommon to get over 5,000 visitors the first day your tutorial is featured. The downside is that over time, the visitors drop off (due to your tutorial no longer being featured on the front page of the tutorial submission site); however, in the long term, you do still get about 20 visitors a day from one tutorial.
10. Cost per Click (CPC)
Cost-per-click programs are those that will feature or advertise your website for a given amount of time for a flat fee. For example, they might charge $100 to show your site on their homepage for 1 month. The price typically depends on the amount of traffic to that particular website. If the website gets a lot of traffic, then they will probably charge more money for a shorter duration of time.
11. RSS Feeds
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is part of the XML family of communication standards. These programs or scripts can allow you to have your news and updates from your website broadcasted on other sites that are willing to post your RSS feed.
12. Pay per Click (PPC)
Pay-per-clicks are programs that will advertise your site across the Internet. The PPC companies will charge you a certain amount for each click that sends a visitor to your site. Some of the more popular PPC companies are Yahoo’s Overture (www.overture.com) and Google’s Adwords (www.adwords.com).
13. BLOGS
In the last few years, blogs have become very popular and as a result, many webmasters are posting articles or information to these blogs with a link back to their site.

The 8 Things You Must Do To Optimize Your Site For Search Engines - Missed By Over 98.4%
Search engines are better at spidering than you. Of course, you need a professional looking site, easy to navigate, appropriate content and size. Many webmasters and sites are great at displaying graphics (flash) and visually appealing sections on their sites. However, the search engines really don't care much about that. If you can give the spiders what they want, they not only will eat it up fast, but you will provide content-rich, relevant data to their index (database). As time, content, size and relevancy increase, you will rise up in the search engine results pages. Properly applied search engine optimization techniques and online marketing principles will help you. (SEO/SEM)The 3 most important search engines to optimize for are Google, Yahoo, MSN. (Ed Note: Google owns over 50% of the market today, and is growing fast every day. This includes their exposure via partners like Ask, Earthlink, DogPile, etc). For you to get elevated and relevant rankings you must get into the search engine indexes, and we recommend you start with Google. You should get spidered by Google in less than 3 weeks i

Smart Business Owners Advertise with Two Things in Mind
The marketing field is flooded with sources and experts. How does a business owner weed through these sources - and all their advice - to find someone who can help grow businesses effectively and affordably? Smart business owners always advertise with two things in mind: 1. The Ten Commandments of Marketing; 2. The Ten Commandments of the Bible. The Ten Commandments of Marketing 1. Get a marketing plan. Even the simplest of plans can help business owners avoid wasting literally thousands of dollars and sometimes years of lost business growth. 2. A business owner’s main focus should be on growing business. Hire consultants to handle accounting, taxes, marketing or any other tasks that may distract from growing business. 3. Business owners should know their customers. Their customer is not they or their spouse or their best friend. They should constantly talk to real customers and test their message on them. 4. Pick a niche. No one is going to believe that one business or product is the best, the fastest and the cheapest. Pick one. And stick with it. 5. Advertis

Search Engine Optimization: Four Vital Steps for Optimizing Your Web Pages
There is a bit of confusion about search engine optimization. Some people think that SEO (the abbreviated form) is nothing more than tricking search engines into giving a high ranking for a particular site. Others think that search engine optimization is so complex that they could not possibly understand it. Neither of these views are correct. Search engine optimization is best defined as the art and science of building web pages that are both search engine friendly and user friendly. Below are four basic steps that you should take when optimizing your web pages.1. Your web design should emphasize text and not graphics. “Search engine friendly” means that search engines should be able to find data on your site that they can put in their data bases. While a picture may be worth a thousand words, a search engine is trying to classify pages by text and not by images. If you have an opening page with a beautiful picture of the sea and only two words of text saying “enter here” then this page will not rank high in searches for Florida Vacations.

The Next Big Internet Marketing Thing
It's always interesting to watch the coming and going of Internet marketing trends; watching concepts become popular, saturate the market and then tail off. Wouldn't it be great to be able to 'get in on the ground floor' with some of the emerging trends and sell bandwagons instead of jumping onto them with everyone else?Perhaps, what you need to do is to look at past examples of popular concepts and consider how you could have spotted them. A couple, for example:Article DirectoriesAs the realisation of the search engine/link popularity benefits of syndicated content was spreading across the Internet, many Internet marketers were hungry to have the next Ezine Articles or Article City under their belts as a viral tool that could power their own websites forever more.Anticipating this demand, savvy marketers created article directory scripts to satisfy the needs of would-be editors, just like those tool makers who supplied pickaxes and shovels during the gold rush.I've witnessed at least half-a-dozen different products all offering their own flavour of art

Add a “Tell-A-Friend” link to your page. When the user clicks it, they will be taken to a form where they will be able to enter a friend’s email address and send your site to them. This is a great way to get users involved in the process of increasing your web traffic.
16. Create a Community
This isn’t so much a way to increase traffic as it is a way to get the previous traffic to return to your site. By starting a community with a forum such as the one available at PHPBB (www.phpbb.com), you can gather a list of members that will submit posts and return over and over again to see if anyone responded. Creating this type of interactivity is sometimes a great way to get steady flow of traffic.
17. Peer-to-Peer Networking (P2P)
One strategy that has been going around is to create an e-book or other online file (with a link to your site) and store it in your P2P download directory. When you sign on to your P2P application and someone does a search for a keyword that is in the title of your e-book, you e-book will appear in their search results. They will then be able to click and download it to see what it is. It’s good to include some useful information in the e-book, but don’t give too much information, because then the user will not be interested in visiting your site.
18. Incentives
Everyone loves getting things for free. One way to generate traffic is to give away free merchandise to anyone with a website that places a back link to your site (it’s recommended that you only do this with sites that have a certain Google page rank level). The merchandise doesn’t have to be expensive ($3 dollars or less), but make sure it appears expensive. Go online and find something cheap to give out as free gifts to webmasters that post your link on their website or blog.
19. Partnerships
If your website offers a product or service that another website can utilize, then it’s a good idea to email the webmaster of that site and see if they would like to cooperate in a joint partnership. This is different from a link exchange, because the two of you will be agreeing to forward traffic to the other site in regards to the product or service that each of you are offering.
For example, if one site makes spaghetti and the other site makes sauce, then when someone arrives to the spaghetti site looking for sauce, the webmaster agrees to feature a section devoted to your website for getting sauce (and vice-versa).
20. Affiliates
If you have a product or service that you are selling, then you can allow other websites to become affiliates, whereby you would give them a percentage of anything that you sell as a result of the traffic they send you.
21. Buying Traffic
There are many sites on the Internet that offer to provide you with traffic to your site if you pay them. The large majority of these are scams and the traffic they send you are the result of annoying pop-up ads than hardly any user would want to look into.
