Google uses many factors to rank web pages. The problem is to find out which factors exactly influence the ranking of your web site.

The Optimizer analyzes many factors that can influence the ranking of your web pages. That allows you to find out which factors exactly you have to tweak and how you have to do it so that your web site can get top rankings on Google and you can download it for FREE!

Google (and other major search engines) basically want two things:

good web page content that can be crawled by search engines
good inbound links from reputable web sites

If your web site has interesting content that can be crawled by search engines and good inbound links than it is difficult not to get high search engine rankings.

Successful search engine optimization is not about getting a single trick done. It's about working on all important factors that can influence your web site rankings.

For the uninitiated, Google ranks all pages on the web with a scale of PR0 to PR10 - higher is better. High PR sites or pages receive most of the traffïc for competitive keywords or phrases. Keywords are what surfers type into search engines to find what they're looking for on the web.

 

Ranking high in Google for popular keywords can prove very lucrative. It can make the difference whether your website is in the black and producing hourly profits, or a total worthless waste of pixel space. Having a high Google PR is equivalent to having monëy in the bank, it is that important.

 

Google is still the undisputed king of traffïc and, regardless of what's on the horizon, Google is the major deliverer of the web's traffïc. That's why losing your high Google PR ranking, sometimes overnight, can be so devastating for the struggling webmaster or marketer.

 

Read this article to discover how you as a webmaster can protect yourself from lost profits and traffïc, even if Google pulls the plug on your site or PR, while putting another one of their endless algorithms into place.

 

10 Ways to Outsmart Google's PageRank System

 

Here's a list of things you can do to lessen the impact of a sudden drop of the almighty Google PageRank:

 

• Diversify your traffïc - make sure you cultivate other sources of traffïc other than the search engines. Förm partnerships and strategic links with other webmasters. Interact in forums and online communities.

 

• Provide quality information and frëe products or services that get 'good word of mouth' recommendations from your visitors. Content will always be king - make sure it reigns supreme on your site.

 

• Pick the right domain name. If you can, choose a short catchy keyword for your domain, one people will remember and would naturally type into a search engine or browser to find what they're looking for on the web. For example: www.hotels.com.

 

• If you're having success with your site, (or/and especially if you're not) venture into off-line advertising and promotion. Use traditional promotional products, t-shirts, caps, bumper stickers, etc. to promote your URL. You can also try PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising to provide you with targeted traffïc and sidestep the search engines. Well sort of!

 

• Try viral products like ebooks, reports and frëe software programs to get your links out into the marketplace. You can also try product or site testimonials which are another great source of targeted traffïc.

 

• Be extremely careful of any out-going links from your site. Don't link to bad neighborhoods (link farms, banned sites, etc.) Google will penalize you for bad links so always chëck the PageRank of the sites you're linking to from your site. If you don't have the Google Bar - you can chëck any site's PageRank at: www.iwebtool.com.

 

• Onsite SEO factors do have an influence on rankings - make sure your site is dressed to kill. Pay attention to keyword density, title descriptions, meta tags, alt tags and interior linking structure. If you can, optimize your site for all three major search engines: MSN, Yahoo and Google. But don't stop there, also submit your site to the countless other smaller search engines on the web. It's the old adage, don't put all your eggs into the ever-changing Google basket or you'll probably turn your site and yourself into one desperate basket case. Other search engines listed at: www.isedn.org.

 

• Along those same lines, have a large spread of keyword phrases that you're targeting with the content on your site. Don't go after extremely competitive keywords which have countless major players with deep pockets buying links, left right and center. Instead, pick a whole range of keyword phrases that have less or little competition. All these keyword phrases will add up to a flood of traffïc for your site. Phrases that for the most part won't be affected by a sudden drop in PageRank. One good site for finding these keywords is www.nichebot.com - it will give both the number of hits and the amount of competition for each keyword.

 

• There is one more strategy you must explore if you want to lessen the power and importance of your own site's PR. One strategy that will bring in tons of Google traffïc even if your PR is ZERO. You must utilize the PageRank of other sites on the web. Use off-page optimization for your major keywords. Build countless anchor text links through keyword rich articles, content related blogs and products that benefit from the high PR of other sites on the web.

 

• Keyword rich articles are some of the best examples of this method, placing them on high PR sites will filter Google traffïc through these articles onto your site. It will also warm up these visitors before they reach your site and they will be more receptive to any of your site's offerings - nevër underestimate the power of the Pre-sell. Build enough of these links and a sudden drop in your own Google PR ranking won't drastically affect your bottom line or the amount of quality traffïc you are receiving.

 

What's even more satisfying, if you build these links, partnerships, and off-site optimization - your Google PageRank will probably go up. If it doesn't, who cares, for you will have Google-Proofed your site against any sudden drop in your site's PR rankings and broadened the reach of your site by using the high PR of other sites on the Web. In the process, you will have protected your site and yourself from the big bad Google PR wolf.

 

You don't have to conquer Google, you just have to outsmart it!

Take Bert Ingley for example. A few short years ago he was doing freelance web design and spending his free time surfing the internet for the latest sports scores and playing his favorite sports video games.

One day he had a flash of insight: why not combine his web design knowledge with his passion for sports video games and start an online home business selling video game strategy guides! And thus VG Sports Inc was created. in 2005 his revenue was set to hit $360,000! You can read his story by clicking here.

All you need to do is capitalize on your skills and interests to create a highly profitable online home business.

Remember, the key is to look for an existing market that needs something you can offer them. You need to find a problem first before you start trying to find the solution. This is a critical step in guaranteeing the success of your business.

Do not make the mistake of developing a product and then trying to find customers who will buy it! Just because you build it, doesn't necessarily mean they will come. It is much easier and more profitable to find out what people are already hungry for and then supply it!

 

We will be showing you exactly how to do this in following posts....so stay tuned!

Automate

Are you one of those intelligent home business owners who start out with the best intentions and grow your web traffic, run some successful promotions...and suddenly go from dealing with a handful of emails and orders each day, to drowning under 100's of customer inquiries, questions, orders and requests.....
Managing mundane tasks suddenly becomes a full-time job!

If you want to grow quickly, you cannot afford to be spending your days chained to your computer, managing every single chore manually.

Some of you are already there and are tired of wasting your days dealing with same repetitive tasks over and over again...but automation is even more intimidating.

The mysterious scripts and software that seem to magically automate the average online home business site can be a bit intimidating for a new e-business owner.

You see others doing it all around you---taking advantage of this mysterious automation, freeing up their time to increase profits even more, but how the heck are they doing it?

If you automate your daily web site chores, then you're going to have time to focus on promotions and growing. If you are drowning in routine tasks, you are going to severely handicap your sales adn income because you'll be too focused on trying to just stay afloat.

By getting an automated system set up early on in your home business, you won't have to scramble to put a second rate system in place once you DO get busy. We will cover this more at another time. Just remember to automate early and automate as many aspects of your business as you possibly can.

If you wanted to learn about quantum physics you'd want to learn it from Stephen Hawking, if you could... right?

If you wanted to learn how to win the Tour de France you'd want Lance Armstrong to teach you...? Of course...

What if you wanted to learn about starting a REAL online business?

Well, since 1998, we have had a profitable online home businesses.

Now here are 4 steps for producing one of your own.

1) Create a "Theme" based web site with compelling content.

2) Traffic - That continuously attracts targeted visitors...

3) PREsell - Convert your interested, information-seeking visitors into warm and willing-to-buy mindsets...and...

4) Monetize - You can and should monetize in many ways, not just one. 

Most people would rather put forth some money and hope for the best
instead of testing to see if they are on the right track. They do
not realize that it's not difficult track what their customers do
at their website. With this kind of valuable information, they can
easily maximize by adjusting their website to reflect their market's
interests and needs. It is actually better to lose a handful of sales
during this testing process, than to lose thousands and thousands of
sales by not fine-tuning their site.

Testing, tweaking and re-testing will ulimately earn you the big
money. NEVER forget this.

So, what are some of things you need to test to increase the response
to your web site?

*The Headline or Opening Statement--this is the first impact you have
 on a potential customer.

*Your Offer--test your angle and the benefits that you emphasize to make
 your offer as appealing as possible.

*Your Price--if your price is too low, some people will think that your
 product or service is of poor quality...if it is too high, some will
not be able to afford it, or the price will outweigh the benefits.

Only change one thing at a time, otherwise you will not be able to
determine which change was affective and caused an increase in your
sales.

Keep in mine that there is no "unsuccessful test". You can learn from
every test if you approach it correctly. Every "failed test" brings
you one step closer to the winning formula...a top selling web site!

Suppose your current marketing technique is generating sales, wouldn't
it be nice to sell more? Your goal should ALWAYS be to seek bigger
and better profits--no matter how great your campaign is. Test everything.
Test your layout, price, headlines, salescopy, ordering process...everything!

Later, we will show you how. Until then we would like to hear how
you are doing and how you test, if you do at all. Just leave us a comment

One 18-year old high school dropout in Florida is making $45 an hour giving gaming lessons to people who want to acquire professional-level skills. Better yet: He has turned it into a web-based business. And he's giving other young videogame aficionados a chance to teach his growing customer base, at rates ranging from $20 to $65 an hour.

And if all that isn't impressive enough, consider this: This kid, Tom Taylor, was recently profiled on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.

Let me ask you a question: Would you say his financial future is looking good?

I love this sort of story because demonstrates two fundamental truths about making money that most people can't seem to understand:

1. Anybody who has modest intelligence can start a successful home business. You don't need wealthy parents, a college degree, or influential friends. What you need is a financially valuable skill.

2. The Internet is the fastest, cheapest, and easiest place to start a business.

I wouldn't have thought of making gaming lessons into a business in a hundred years. But now that Mr. Taylor has provided the seed idea, I can see dozens of possible outgrowths.

The first, and most obvious, is that he should locate experts in other videogames, and expand his business horizontally.

Next, he should promote one or two of his very best experts in each game to "elite" status, and sell their services for $100 an hour. (If you don't think he can get $100 an hour for that, you don't understand much about marketing.)

And then, he should develop packaged offers, combining multiple game lessons or even multiple instructors, and begin to offer longer-term, higher-priced contracts.

He should learn everything he can about marketing, and become an expert in finding new customers and upgrading (i.e., upselling) his existing clientele. And he should hire someone to make sure the quality of his services improves as his business expands.

This kid could easily have a $2 million to $10 million business in three years. The hardest part is already done. If he doesn't succeed on a massive level, it will be a shame.

By the way, one of Mr. Taylor's instructors is an eight-year-old New Yorker who goes by the online name of Lil Poison. He teaches classes after he finishes his homework, and has used some of his income to buy a hamster that he named Cantana after a character in one of the games.

Think about a skill that you have and can teach. Would you like to create an Internet home business based on that?

See how much you can do with one little article?

It's amazing how effective a small piece of content can be
when you...


    * know your keywords, and...

    * know all the places to position that content so it's
      viewed again and again
     

Once you've done your keyword research, you might feel a bit
intimidated by the idea of writing something yourself for
the 'Net. Or maybe you don't feel like you have the time to
do it justice.

Remember -- any free content you create shouldn't be too long,
and it definitely shouldn't be too complicated, since the
people reading it won't know your product or your subject as
well as you do.

If you're still concerned, you can always hire a writer from
a freelance web site like Elance ( http://www.elance.com )to
do a couple of short articles or an eBook (with a bit of basic
information from you, of course.) Expect to pay anywhere from
$25 to $35 an hour for their time.

But I recommend that you try to write something yourself
first. You definitely don't need to be a professional writer
to create something readable and interesting... (I sure don't
have a degree in creative writing myself!)

Just try to think like your audience -- what do they want to
know, and how much do they know already? Then tell them simply
and clearly. We're not talking Shakespeare here.

Here's one more quick peek at my easy four-step plan to
increase web traffic:


    1. Find the keywords people are using to search for your
       home business product

    2.  Make sure all the content on your web site contains
        these keywords!

    3  Write short, keyword-rich articles with links directing
       people back to your site -- nothing too long or
       complicated; just enough content to establish you as
       someone "in the know" about your industry

    4. And finally, send your article to content distribution
       sites and -- with just a simple suggestion or a script-
       based link -- encourage people to pass your material on
       to their friends (and direct them back to your site!)
      

These simple steps are things that practically anyone can do
to drive traffic. They'll help you get the kind of targeted,
quality traffic that can make all the difference to the
success of a home business, especially when you're just starting
out!

In other words, these are the types of visitors who are most
likely to take action on your site, whether they make a
purchase, or simply opt in with their personal information.

And I don't know about you, but I'll take more of those
visitors any day of the week!

 STEP FOUR: Get your home business content headed EVERYWHERE on the Web


Once you've taken a few hours to write one or two quick
articles, head to one of these top online content distribution
sites. Upload your keyword-rich content to:


    * http://www.contentdesk.com

    * http://www.ezinearticles.com

    * http://www.freesticky.com

    * http://www.goarticles.com

    * http://www.ideamarketers.com

    * http://www.findsticky.com


It only takes a couple of minutes, but the rewards for your
site will be huge.

These sites carry hundred or thousands of articles on a range
of topics. If someone is looking for content for their web
site, they can download or copy an article from the
distribution site without paying a dime to use it!

They can't change the text of the article, and they must
publish it with the author's name and information intact.

Now people who are plugging your keywords into search engines
will be directed to your content at these highly-ranked sites,
and web site owners who are looking for fresh, search engine-
attracting content will download your article -- along with
your bio and link! -- and put it up on their pages.

And once visitors see that you know what you're talking about,
they'll click on the link in your bio, and head straight to
your home business site!

The best thing about this strategy is that these visitors
are QUALITY, TARGETED traffic -- they actually WANT what
you're selling, because you are meeting a need or giving them
help with the problem they came online to solve!

Some content distribution sites also offer "send to a friend"
links next to articles posted on their sites -- so make sure
you're uploading your articles to sites with this kind of
capability!

Every time someone enjoys your article enough to pass it on,
your audience grows. And since people don't forward BAD content
on to their friends, they are basically recommending you as a
credible source just by passing it on.

You can also create a "send to a friend" link on your own web
pages with the help of a simple script added to your code.
Here are some examples of what this kind of link might say:


    * "Did you enjoy this article? To recommend it to a
       friend, click here..."

    * "To pass this important info along to a friend or
       family member, click here..."

    * "Share this with a friend -- just click here..."

    * "Can't wait to tell a friend about this? Here's how..."

To find scripts to make links like these ones fully functional,
check out the resources at:


    * http://www.freewebtemplates.com

    * http://www.javascript.com

    * http://www.scriptsearch.com

    * http://www.hotscripts.com
   

The visitors who come to your home business site through articles or
forwarded material are highly targeted... and likely to take
action when they actually arrive at your web site seeking your
specific information.
