What is Traffic Bug?
Traffic Bug is a great tool which automates all the Off Page SEO for you. It is all done within broader time span so to assure a natural growth and not to attract the bad side of google, in generally.

What Exactly does it do for me?
Traffic Bug takes the url you provide within it's operating system takes the title and descriptions you might add and given the level of aggression which you might designate it will go out there(on the web) and gets you backlinks to various sites.

It also assures you this: Social Bookmarking, Directory Submissions, RSS Directory Submissions, Search Engine Submissions.

My Personal Experience with It?
Well I've been using it since yesterday and at a High Aggression level I have exactly 53 Bookmarks Submissions, 10 Directory Submissions and 139 Search Engine Submissions.

With my other Url which is set at a Low Aggression rate I have 14 Bookmark submissions, but it's growing steadily and its doing a superb job.

Other Tools Included
Traffic Bug also provides a variate of different SEO Tools, all very useful and handy:

Header Tag Tools, which extract the " http " headers of a web page, extract meta-tags information from a web page, generate meta-tags for your site and also let you view the headers of the site of your choice.

IP Tools, which resolve a host to an IP address, find all of the other sites that are hosted on a server, find all of the other sites that are hosted on a server, ping a domain or IP address to find the response time.

Keyword Tools, that check keyword results and get suggestions using Yahoo's search, check the density of different keywords at the site of your choice

Link Tools, they analyze incoming and outgoing links, scan a website to find no-follow links to various other sites, check the number of links pointing to the website of your choice, check multiple sites to see if they are really linking back to you, generate links that relate to the keyword/topic of your choosing, check for broken links on a website.

Miscellaneous Tools, used to view your IP address and your browser details, check whether the five major ports are responding, copy and paste Javascript code to count down to the date and time of your choice, check to see if a redirect is valid or not, check the availability of a specific domain and get suggestions for related domains, convert UNIX internal time formats to a date or vice versa, generate a list of possible typos for a domain name,

Website Rank Checkers, allow you to check the Alexa traffic rank for any single website, see the PageRank and PageHeat of any given website, also check a website's search engine position with multiple keywords then check multiple websites search engine position with a single keyword, both possible.

Website Submitters, actually this is just one tool that submits your website to 19 of the top search engines.

Things that you Might Encounter in Traffic Bug & you Might Want to be Aware
Aggression Level is a thing you might encounter and might not fully understand. This lets you select how effective the Traffic Bug Backlink Accumulation Campaign will go and what density of backlinks would you want to possibly obtain.

You might want to have your main page url or a good post's or article's url set for High Aggression, while a lame post's or article's url you might want it set to Low Aggression.

The Idle Status basically means that all the backlinking is up-to-date and you now you are officially well prepared with the Off-Page SEO factors.

The Related URL Section is the place where you would want to add all the links which are related with your main site's url for example if you have a post or something that you have about " monekys " and your site would be about " monkeys " then this is the place to put it, lets you keep order of the links which you put in Traffic Bug to have promoted.

Also another reason you may want to have an Article or Video about your site for example, placed here in this section is because all the urls which are placed here will be specially reviewed by the Traffic Bug search robots and if it is an article or blog as the example has it, Traffic Bug will run on a different basis focusing at first to have these ones generate backlinks from various article or video sites.

You might receive Directory Submission Emails from now on which you should mainly ignore and delete, unless they contain the words " response required " or " activate your submission " or anything else related to these two in the title.

Final Words
Traffic Bug is a great service that simply takes all the Off-Page optimization problem off your shoulders. All of this comes at a lousy $20.00 per month.

And if you register here, http://www.traffic-bug.com/30dc/ you also can have a 40 Day Free Trial.

Note: As the producer also mentions the program truly starts to shine after 60 Days of submitting an url.

I personally think it can do well enough even and 40 Days, well enough for you too see how ind-idly powerful it really is.

(please not the link above is no affiliate link nor am I sponsoring the 30Day Challenge, which by the way is a free and good course and I should probably be promoting it to you, in any way )

Well that's all, hope you enjoyed my presentation of this great product and hope that like me you'll also find it useful.

At least try it, the registration is free and VERY simple you won't regret it, promise you .

I planned on displaying a few ads on facebook. Now, when I am trying to link my credit card to facebook account, in the page where you insert all your credit card details...my firefox browser is telling me that this page is partially secured and some information might be seen by anybody while the details are in transit.

Is there any reason to be afraid of? Or should I go ahead and link my credit card. What should I do?
Any help or advices would be very much appreciated.

To the success of APS and to our success!!

Why does Google Adwords Want $10 Minimum Bid?

You've spent time and money researching a market, more time and money putting a website together for that market and your ready to go live. You decide to give Adwords a shot because you've heard so many great things about it.

The thing about Google is they reward relevancy and
penalize websites that are irrelevant. Who decides whats relevant and what's not? Google does based on it's
algorithm from Google Bot. I have used $10 minimum bid as an example, it could be $5 or a $1 minimum bid. Your
minimum bid should be cents not dollars.

How do you make Google Bot your friend? Make your website relevant in Google's eyes. This is done by a 3 pronged attack. First make sure your ad groups are "themed" around 1 keyword with variations.
For instance adgroup name -

-------------------------------

Discount Video Cameras

-------------------------------

Keywords:

discount Video Cameras

cheap Video Cameras

affordable Video Cameras

really cheap Video Cameras

By doing this your account is organized into a tightly knit group of keywords that makes it easy for you to write
ads for. When you write your ad Google loves it when you use the keywords in your ad and so do searchers. This is
an essential step in lowering your minimum bids.

Cheap Video Cameras

Discount Video Cameras to fit

your budget. Free shipping

Google will consider this ad highly relevant to your ad group's keywords. Google will also bold any keyword that
the searcher typed, in your ad. Which will catch your prospect's eye. In the above example if a searcher typed the keywords 'cheap Videos Cameras' all instances of the words cheap and Video Cameras in your ad would appear in bold.

Using the keywords on your landing page

Google and searchers love this also because you are focusing your landing page around the keywords that have been searched both Google Bot and the searcher will consider this very relevant, provided your supporting content stays on topic. This technique will increase your Quality Score which in turn will lower your minimum bids.

Lets recap the three pronged attack for lowering your minimum bids.

1. Tightly "themed" ad groups

2. Keywords in ad

3. Keywords used on landing page

http://eCa.sh/jYdc

This strategy is absolutely ESSENTIAL in establishing a successful PPC campaign, and it has to do with something called the “Common Keyword Technique”. Using this technique, you will be accomplishing several things:

1. You will increase your Quality Score

2. Your Cost Per Click (CPC) will decrease

3. Your ads will be given a higher priority and shown more often, due to increased relevancy

4. Your Click-Through Rate (CTR) will increase, meaning that you will increase your conversions

5. See #1.

This is a very fundamental concept in PPC marketing, and it will drastically increase your chances of actually profiting from your campaigns. So, how do you go about using this method?

Well, first you need to understand that any given campaign, regardless of which advertiser it is with, is divided into two levels.
These levels are:

• The overall campaign level, which is where you organize all of your campaign settings

• The ad group level, which is where you group all of your similar keywords together to keep them organized.

The “Common Keyword Technique” comes into play at the ad group ‘level’, and what you basically want to do is to make sure that all of your keywords in an ad group have at least two keywords in common to ensure that your ads are as relevant as possible.

For example, say you are targeting the keyword “how to build a dog house”. You could structure your campaign something like this:

You could then prepare an ad that looks like this:

You will notice that all of the keywords within this particular ad group have three words in common, build, dog and house. That way, when someone makes a search like “how to build a dog house”, that ad will come up and those words will be highlighted, which also increases the chances of your ad being clicked. Just like in article marketing you always target very specific keywords, with PPC advertising you want to make sure that your ad groups are tight enough to provide maximum relevancy.

The bottom line? If you can’t use all of the major keywords in your ad group within your ad title and description, your ad group is not tight, or specific, enough. You will be much better off removing the ‘odd’ keywords and creating a separate ad group for them, and this will drastically improve your relevancy, Click Through Rate, and thus your Quality Score, which of course means cheaper CPC.

This is going to be the exact approach I will be using in my campaigns, and I will let you all know how it pans out. Hope you've enjoyed this little 'power lesson'!

Hello people, how are you doing?

I believe almost all of us already used the Google Keyword Research tool before, right? For those who don’t know about it yet, it is a free tool from Google, created for people who run AdWords campaigns but used by any Internet Marketer who needs some keywords ideas and research data.
On this guide, I’ll show you some cool tips to raise productivity and efficiency on your Keyword research, while using Google tools. Maybe some of you already know some or all the tips I’ll give. But hopefully it will be useful for the new Internet marketers out there. If you know a tip that I didn’t mentioned, please share it with us.

This is the Official help guide from Google. You will be able to find plenty of information on AdWords visiting this link too.

So, this guide’s structure will be of a list of the different tips, following by detailed information about each tip. Take your time, enjoy and apply it on your next marketing campaign.

Main topics of this guide:

• Using Advanced Search Options

• Filtering Results By Country

• Keywords Research Options

• Match Type?

• Adding and Removing Columns

• Saving your Search

• Inaccuracy and Limitations

Using Advanced Search Options
To use Advanced Search options, while looking for your Keywords, you will have to create an AdWords account (don’t worry; you won’t have to spend any money while doing it). This is really easy, just follow the instructions and you will be ready to go in no time.

Once you have an AdWords account, log in, click on “Opportunities” and on Tools/Keyword Tool, from the left menu. You will be taken to the Keyword Research page, with some advantages: you don’t have to enter the capcha code to run your searches and you have access to advanced search options.

Filtering Results By Country
To limit the keyword results by country, if are from outside the US and you need information about the keywords locally, or if you want to promote a product worldwide, click on “Advanced options”. In the first list, choose which country you want results to be displayed. If you need more than one Country, just hold Ctrol and select the different countries by clicking on then.

Keywords Research Options
You actually have two different options to get keywords ideas: entering your own keyword or search an existing URL for the keywords its targeting and use then as your search criteria.

On the first option, all you have to do is enter the keyword in the “World or Phase” field and hit “Search”.

On the second option, you have to enter an URL in the “Website” field and hit Search. If you are going to use the second option, you should get a Google top website, for the particular keyword. Finding this URL is not hard. Just open a Google page and enter the keyword, between quotes, like that: “keyword”. Copy the first result’s URL and enter it on your Keyword Research page.

Match Type?
You can choose between Exact, Broad and Phrase options.
Broad match: shows all results along with singular/plural forms, synonyms, and other relevant variations.

Phrase match:  results include all the search queries that contained your keyword, in the same order, forming a phrase with more keywords.

Exact match: only show the results from search queries performed using exactly the keyword you entered.

In the keyword research process, you should choose the “Exact” option, since it will show the results most relevant to you (the information you really need about the keyword search count, excluding synonyms and stuff).

For more information on the match type results, check Google’s explanation.

Adding and Removing Columns
This can be done easily by clicking on Views/Customize Columns. From this page, you will be able to choose what columns to view.

Saving your Search
To save your search, just select the data columns you want to save, click on Donwload, select between a selection of keywords or all results, select the file format (CSV is fine, to be opened on Excel), and click on Download.

You can manage your keywords list better on Excel, like deleting irrelevant ones, merging with previous results and so on.

Inaccuracy and Limitations
Remember that the Google Keyword Research tool isn’t perfect. It has some flaws such as: it shows trends from the past, the results displayed belong to Google only (who has a market share in the Search engine market of about 65%, other companies, such as Yahoo and MSN are also used by people to search for things), and so on.

However, it is a great tool, for a free product. It is very useful for both skilled and newcomers to the Internet Marketing business. The research part of promoting a product is one of the most important and time consuming steps of the marketing process. Once you are able to master it and use these tools, such as Google Keyword Research to help you and make you job quicker, you will be able to come up with more valuable keywords, from where your money as an Affiliate will come from.

Please share your experiences with the Keyword Research tool as well as some tips you have and I missed.

if you don't know about SEO, then PPC campaign is reliable way to advertise your niche.

The 1 thing and only one to your success is your expenses less than your revenue. That's simple mathematic when i was in yunior high school

Let say, if you spend your money $10, you should earn more than $10. Better if you earn $100.
if you can sale 1 product from your PPC and earn $25 persale, and cost your PPC  $0.5 per click then you have to make sale your product every 50 clicks. Mathematic calculation is 25/0.5 = 50.

Market research.
Make some specific keyword for your product and your keyword MUST be RELEVANT with your landing page and your keyword, if not, you will wasting your money. and Check your keyword density here
you can use Google keyword tool or check here how to get Effective Keyword Research and Analysis tool.

Please be aware and understanding your product, keyword and landing page.And if not relevant , it wasting your money and no result in return

This method can also be applied to other advertising networks.  I'm using Google AdWords as an example because bidding on keywords there can be expensive and this is a great method to get cheap clicks. 

***WARNING*** First, keep in mind that there is a learning curve to PPC advertising.  It's easy to blow a lot of money if you don't know what you are doing.  Second, if you don't have an established website that meets Google's new stringent editorial guidelines then there is a high probability that your account will be banned (and the ban is for life).  For more information on how to avoid the ban read How to Avoid the Wrath of Google thread.

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, here's how to get cheap clicks on Google AdWords.  I'm not going to go into great detail here on purpose because if you don't know what I'm talking about then you aren't ready to run PPC ads.  I know that sounds harsh, but Google AdWords is a very tough beast these days and it's definitely not for newbies.

Alright, here are the steps:

1)  AdWords is split between the Search Network and Content Network.  This method uses the Content Network.

2)  The Content Network allows advertisers to buy text ads or image ads.  The secret of this method is to create image ads but create them using the text tool in your favorite graphics software.  I personally use Photoshop.  There is a free program called Gimp that is very similar to Photoshop.

3)  The Content Network allows you run ads in the follow formats and sizes. 

Formats: gif, jpg, png, swf

300 x 50 Mobile leaderboard
468 x 60 Banner
728 x 90 Leaderboard
250 x 250 Square
200 x 200 Small square
336 x 280 Large rectangle
300 x 250 Inline rectangle
120 x 600 Skyscraper
160 x 600 Wide skyscraper

4)  Setup a new campaign and get your keyword list together.  For each keyword create a new Ad Group and within each Ad Group create an image ad for each of the nine image sizes.  Yes, this is tedious, but remember the clicks are cheap. For each image include the keyword that you are bidding on so you can increase your CTR.  Note:  If you create animated images you'll probably see a higher CTR.

5)  Add a call to action or place your website URL in the image using underlined blue text so it looks like a regular text link.

6)  Upload your images, setup your ads and launch.

The reason why this method is effective for getting cheaper clicks is because fewer people us image ads these days so there is less competition.  Most people think image ads (remember when we used to always call them banner ads?) are no longer effective and many times that's the case.  Internet users have a tendency to block them out, and have been conditioned to click on text links.  If you create image ads that are only text then you get the best of both worlds - cheap clicks (supply v. demand) and increased CTRs (text v. image). 

Confused?  I created an example of an image ad here (I'm obviously joking about the verbiage ).  For this ad I selected the keyword "Affiliate Marketing" and I made a 336x280 .gif image.

Good luck!

It is time to start exploring the offline methods to our benefits.

Newspaper Advertising:

Newspapers have a wide audience reach and statistics reveal that majority of the people do browse through them more leisurely during the weekends. So if you advertise in a newspaper, chances are that your potential clients would be able to see the advertisement of your website. Through offline advertising especially the newspaper ads, you can target your required age groups and social demographics and reach consumers with higher disposable income.

Not every one out there is internet savvy. By placing an ad that well describes your products and services in the newspapers, you can tempt those who are not too internet savvy to come online and check your website. This is a very high potential market and we should take the full advantage to promote our APS business.

Let us discuss more offline methods in detail in this thread.

To our Success!

The premium membership costs $9.95 a month and is quite affordable, it is also a great way to rank in the search engines very fast if you do your keyword research properly. Here is a tutorial about how to set up your ads to get the most organic traffic from the search engines.

There are 3 ways where you can write your ad, the first option is text only, the second option is a html editor and the third option is copy and paste html code.

Step 1.

Once you have done your keyword research, put the phrase in your title. Also put your chosen keyword in your first paragraph and also last paragraph. It is also important to bold your keyword as well.

Step 2.

Adding pictures to your ad will also make it more appealing and grab your visitors attention.

Step 3.

Hyperlink your keyword and insert your affiliate link.

Step 4.

Try not to make your ad too long, aim to have 50 - 150 words per ad.

Once you have saved your ad, you have the option of adding a picture thumbnail to your ad, up to 10 pictures can be added for a better appealing ad.

With this membership you can have unlimited ads, so it is best to make as many as you can, as they do not expire and are renewed every 30 days automatically. Not every ad that you do will be successful, so it is important to keep adding different advertisement.

It can sometimes take a month for your ad to show up on google, so keep on advertising and do not be too concerned about what rank you are in the search engines. This is also a great way to promote any clickbank product.

I hope this tutorial will help you in getting more visitors to your Acme People Search business.
