In it’s simplest form internet marketing is to do with how to monetise your site.  You may add some affiliate Google Adsense (pay per click) links, set up Google Adsense ads, or open up a simple e-Commerce site selling t-shirts or e-Books.  Internet marketing, however, is to do with the whole deal and concerns every aspect of your site whether it be just a long-tail-keyword niche site, or a full on global sales empire.

• The Three Essential Tools

This site deals with SEO (search engine optimisation); web-site design; and with keyword coherence (a logical keyword strategy).  We delve into things like Google Adsense, Blogger and WordPress too, but primarily it is those three tools that are discussed here on BizBlog.

• SEO, Site Design, and Keyword Coherence

SEO, web-site design, and keyword coherence are the keys to unlocking the MMO (make money online) potential of your site. It is really, really important to get those three basic site-building bricks cemented firmly in place.  If you want to build a proper business, with an effective growth strategy, and the ability to keep growing, then make this your top priority.

• Is Content Really King?

There are some who trumpet the value of a particular aspect of site building, like “content is king”, or “backlinks are everything”, and yes, they are very important, but we believe that they are all secondary to the above 3 points. You could actually build a high traffic site with nonsense content if you get the other things right, and it could still work, but pertinent content would really launch it.

• Two Common Ways  to Monetise Your Web Site

There are two common ways  to Monetise your web site.

1. Direct sales. With direct sales your site is devoted to advertising and selling one or more products – whether it be big Blue Widgets that you ship, or “drop-ship” directly to your readers; an Amazon Shop; or some electronic,  or other Service, or invisible (digital) item, such as an E-Book
2. Indirect Sales. With Indirect Sales you create a targeted site that attracts readers on the target subject, then you load your information articles with either “text links“, and or surrounding ads, like Affiliate ADs, , or Google Adsense.”  E.G., Create a site about iPhones and put lots of Amazon IPhone affiliate or commission links in it.

• Promoting your Web Site by Building Traffic

This site is devoted mainly to promoting good SEO practices, and discussion thereon.

1. The prime method of building traffic is always to provide focused top quality content! The more the better!
2. Build even more traffic by getting “back-links” that point to your site.
3. “Site Synergy” – Optimizing your site using  efficient linked internal links and the clever use of “Key Words” and Long-tailed Keywords, a process best described as “Keyword Coherence“.
4. Good SEO – Start here with Google SERP’s and work your way through the other SEO posts listed in the INDEX here.

• Advertising

Well the simplest method of course is to load your site with Google Adsense ads, or other revenue producing links like the one on the ‘Nav Bar’ on this page. The best method is to link to some product that you own; then you win the whole sale price rather than a small commission!

• Money-making Links

The next thing you could have a look at is the “affiliate Program” scene. This is pretty easy to do with the simplest method being the ‘text link’ embedded in your post text. This links to some website that sells items (with a commission to YOU!) relevant to your linked ‘keyword’. Example: This HOSTING Link takes you to my Hosting Affiliate link page, and you can find there a really good and reliable web hoster, which I can personally recommend to you.
