Benefits Of A Generator Sitemap

Generator sitemap programs can be downloaded from various sources on the Internet. Generator sitemap programs have two fundamental purposes. Generator sitemap programs help surfers navigate a site effectively. At the same time, a generator sitemap program encourages search engine spiders. Google offers one of the most popular generator sitemap programs ever to hit the Internet.

The generator sitemap of google makes it possible for a website to get listed and get updated by the google search engine. Setting up the generator sitemap helps speed up the addition of the web pages of a site to the google listing. The generator sitemap also makes it easier for a site to get noticed by online surfers. In addition, any changes made to a website that has a generator sitemap is immediately picked up by google. The generator sitemap also helps keep online information fresh and up-to-date for users.

Visibility is key to generator sitemap

Visibility is a major concern when using a generator sitemap. A website that is completely indexed has better chances of getting top search engine placement in page results. Many of the popular browsers used by searchers and that support java recognize generator sitemap programs. These include firefox and Internet explorer.

An online consumer that searches for a specific content on the web can immediately be directed to any one of the web pages of a particular site. The generator sitemap makes it easier for a search engine to provide accurate results from web pages they are familiar with.

Who can benefit from a generator sitemap?

A generator sitemap is highly recommended for websites that often do repeated modification of their web pages. A generator sitemap can be used for websites of any size, regardless of the number of web pages a site may contain.

Although using a generator sitemap is not a guarantee of increased site rankings, it does however provide a website a better opportunity of getting listed on a search engine.

Working with a generator sitemap

Most of the available generator sitemap programs available on the web make use of extensible markup language or XML. Similar to hypertext markup language or HTML, XML is used widely in blogs and syndicated feeds on the Internet. Each line of a XML code for a generator sitemap has a specific purpose.

The location or .loc identifies the name of the web page of a website. The line .lastmod indicates when the web page was last modified. The format for .lastmod can either be dd.mm.yyyy, dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm, dd/mm/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. Shortcuts can also be used to simply the assignment of dates to the cell.

.changefreq advises the search engine of a specific time frame when the web page is regularly updated. This can either be done on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. For web pages that are not updated, the value 'never' is used. .priority indicates the level of priority that a search engine should give a particular web page of a website. These levels range from 0.0 for least priority to 1.0 for high priority.

Creating a dynamic generator sitemap

Creating a dynamic generator sitemap is useful for websites containing various web pages. The google search engine makes it easy for users to adapt their google sitemap with the help of a python script.

The python script generates a sitemap using sitemap protocol. This creates a sitemap from either access logs, URL lists or from web server directories.

Tips for using a generator sitemap from google

As one of more popular search engines offering a generator sitemap for websites on the Internet, google offers a few tips for its loyal users. Using the google sitemap url encoder/decoder is helpful for submitting sitemaps to google. For websites that have numerous web pages, creating a sitemap can be a tremendous task. For this situation it is best to click on the column title in order to make it easier for a URL list to get sorted.

The google generator sitemap allows users to save their settings after creating a sitemap. Users can use these saved settings as a guideline for succeeding generator sitemap updates. The generator sitemap also recognizes the use of robots.txt files.

Using a generator sitemap is a positive move in getting top ranking on the Internet's top search engines as well as high visibility among online users.

Jeremiah Patton has been currently using sitemaps for easy navigation for visitors and for better crawling from search engines. Jeremiah Patton uses a sitemap for his work at home moms website http://www.2ndincome4u.com with great success.

Top 8 Stress Generators at Work Places

How to motivate and inspire employees to do great things? How to keep them happy and get the most out of them? These are the basic questions that run in the minds of most employers. But in their frenzy to motivate and inspire employees they do a grave mistake and loose most valuable ones to their competitors. Discussed below are a few of these mistakes that can increase stress among employees:

1.) Motivating Using Awards

The award system is out. It's really stupid and can create a biased atmosphere in the office. In addition not everyone likes to get awards in front of their colleagues, being aware of the fact that this might actually create a kind of separation between him and others. Awarding one always means that you are being biased towards others. So never award employees for their performance. Instead, sending mails of appreciation, encouraging them in person is a better idea. Anything monetary is not recommended.

2.) Celebrating Birthdays

Well, not for all, but most men don't like to be the center of attraction for the entire day. The very thought of this happening can make them go dull at work for the whole month during which his birthday is about to arrive. In addition birthdays are personal affairs and not many like it made public. If the rules of the office makes it compulsory to celebrate birthdays, most employees are likely to get insecure. Birthdays are personal affairs and employers should never force them on their employees.

3.) Forced Partying

Not everyone likes to party. But not many will complain if there are no parties organized from the side of their office. People can always party with their friends and relatives if they are party oriented. Organizing parties in the office is a real bad idea and can create fear psychosis among many who don't like such atmospheres. Unfortunately in most cases people who deter parties are the ones who work the best.

4.) Unnecessary Meetings

Meetings are required, but unnecessary meetings which are held just for the sake of it are bad. Such meetings are a waste of time and can create a kind of atmosphere in the office where employees spend more time thinking about what to speak and what issues to take up in the meeting rather than concentrate on their jobs.

5.) Presentations and Seminars

Unless really required, asking employees to take presentations and seminars is a real bad idea. Almost 80% of human beings don't like to take seminars and being forced to do so will only give them more reason to change jobs.

6.) Getting too personal

Don't get too personal to employees and never try to create a kind of home away from home atmosphere in the office. There cannot be one big happy family in case of an office. The office is a professional place where people come to work cause they want to earn a decent living. Most employees do not consider the office anymore than a workplace and don't want to consider it anything more than that. So encouraging employees to get too personal towards each other through interactions/partying/outings/team games etc. is really not a good idea.

7.) Internal and External Trainings

Unnecessary trainings especially those that are not work related are definitely a big no. No one (except for certain girls may be) like these kinds of trainings. Trainings related to team building, leadership, time management, public speaking, interaction etc. are stupid and should never be encouraged. One thing that management of any company should understand is that not everyone is same and not everyone can be trained to change their character. The management should learn to accept employees as they are instead of imposing things on them. If the job demands these qualities, the employees should have been selected in the right way (Some extroverted girls and boys will do). You cannot generate sugar, spice and everything nice in a single employee.

8.) Dress Codes

Having a formal dress code for some days and casual for others is not recommended in the least. This actually plays games with the mentalities of employees in a major way. It's better to select between the either of them and stick to it.

If you are one of the lucky employers who has read this article, make sure to stop any of these activities immediately if you are doing them already.

Emergency Power Generator Safety

Please don't endanger the Utility Lineman

In the last hour before a hurricane there is always a panic rush to purchase the last remaining portable gasoline emergency generator. Thousands of emergency generators are sold over the counter to well meaning homeowners who are not aware of the consequences of an improper installation. Too often after the hurricane you hear of a lineman being killed by an improperly installed generator back feeding the utility lines.

Improperly installed generators can pose serious dangers to you, your family and Power line construction crews.

In the aftermath of a disaster there are circumstances that circumvent conventional safety procedures. The utility companies rely heavily on independent construction firms to quickly restore utility lines. Private contractor employees are sometimes less familiars with the territory and the established utility company procedures. On top of everything else there is the stress caused by working long hours in inclement conditions and the pressure to restore power to thousands of customers some of whom are in dire need.

As an electrician I am often sought out on the day of the hurricane for free consultation on the installation of emergency generators. I say free because no-one ever expects to pay for professional advise unless it's from a doctor or lawyer. I often have strangers come to my home at odd hours for advise about electrical installations or problems. Of course in the Deep South this kind of hospitality is usually expected and I am always willing to offer free advise where safety is concerned.

I discourage connecting portable generators directly into the building's wiring system. But if one insists, I always recommend the use of a double throw transfer switch to prevent the generator from back feeding the utility lines. I even recommend some competent contractors who are qualified and licensed to make a proper and safe installation. My last words are always a warning of the criminal charges and the liability for endangering the life of electrical utility workers. I'm aware that in most cases my advice is not taken seriously where safety is concerned. The generator should be properly installed before an emergency exist rather than the hour just before or after the next hurricane.

If you insist on connecting a generator to the existing wiring system of your home or business you must use a double throw transfer switch. The Transfer switch is essential for the protection of linemen who are working to restore power. You can be held liable for the loss of life or property damage caused by back feeding the utility lines. A transfer switch or relay is also required by municipal and building codes.

Here are some additional safety tips for installing and using portable emergency generators.

1- Read, understand and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

2- Never operates the generator indoors or in a closed space. Avoid a danger of carbon monoxide poisoning and ignition of fumes caused by fuel evaporation.

3- Don't overload the generator. Overloading can cause damage to the generator as well as creating a fire hazard.

4- To avoid electrical shock the generator must be properly grounded. The best place to ground your generator is by the grounding connection of the electrical service. This may be a ground rod or a cold water pipe. Only a qualified electrician should make any connection inside the electrical service panel. Don't open any existing ground connections.

5- All electric connections must comply with the National Electrical Code. You may be liable for damage to property or injury to people that may result from an improperly installed or operation of an emergency generator.

6- Never never feed power from your generator into a wall outlet. A fire hazard exists if the branch circuit is not large enough to handle the entire load. Usually it is not. Than there is the hazard of having an energized male plug end. Above all if the wiring is not isolated the generator will back feed the utility lines.

7- Operation in wet weather or under potentially wet conditions may cause electrical shock or electrocution. Avoid contact with the generator if you are wet or standing in water.

8- Check cords running from your generator to make sure they are in good condition, rated for outdoor use and are the proper wire gauge size for the appliance load.

9- Do not store fuel indoors or refuel your generator while it's running.

Nonfiction Idea Generators

 by: Neal Naughton

The hardest part of nonfiction writing is finding a subject to write about. Unless you’re a student or a professional writer no one is going to select a topic for you. That means you have to come up with your own themes. If you’re like most writers, your subject matter will be things that interest you. I used the headings listed below to generate ideas for my writing. Hopefully these idea generators will help you become a more productive writer.

HOW DID I SOLVE THAT PROBLEM?: This question can lead to an infinite number of article ideas. The articles that result from it are generally the easiest to market, because many people have the same problem. A writer just starting out could develop a niche by answering this question. Which was how I got started. I was an electronic technician when I published my first article. At the time I was flooded with printed information, catalogs, data sheets, articles, etc. To handle this overflow I developed a filing system. Then I wrote an article about how I solved my problem. The article entitled, “The Ultimate Electronics Reference File” was published in The Electron, a technical journal. A couple months later I was looking for a cheap source of electronic parts, test equipment, etc. (This was before E-Bay.) That thought led me to write “Getting More For Your Electronics Dollar” which appeared in the same publication.

OBJECTS: Observation and/or memory of an object can lead to many ideas. For example, I once owned a multicolored 1955 Chevrolet. With that old car in mind, I wrote an essay entitled “Ode To An Old Car” which was published by a local newspaper.

CHANGES: Some are good and some aren’t, it’s that simple. Either way using this topic, you can create an articles defending or attacking changes. Which I did in “The Advantages Of Flex Time” also published in a local newspaper. I set the piece in a gas station

HOW I DID IT: This is a variation on the above topic. As a woodcarver, I used this statement to detail how I created a certain kind of carving. The resulting article “Carving An Ancient Artifact” was published by Chip Chats Magazine.

OPINIONS/RANTS: Now I’m passionate about a few things in life, though some folks who know me might disagree with this statement. “Nonfiction Idea Generators” is one of the things I’m passionate about, after all I did write this article. But, what I’m not sure of is whether this is an opinion piece or a rant.

READ: Newspapers, magazines, e-zines, cereal boxes, and anything else you can wrap your eyes around. Read to find ideas for future articles. Ask yourself, as you read, “is there anything here I can use? Does this leave me with unanswered questions?” If so, good. That is what you’re looking for. Write down your thoughts and save them along with the article. More about this later.

LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS: Sometimes, when friends talk you’ll hear something that sounds like a great subject for an article. An article you know you can write. But before you do, you probably should ask for permission to use the info—if you value the friendship.

SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU LAUGH: Changes are, it’ll make others laugh, too.

SOMETHING YOU’RE CURIOUS ABOUT: One of the best sources of nonfiction ideas can be found by just wondering about something. Example, in a chemistry class studying different types of sugars, I asked the instructor how brown sugar was made. He said he didn’t know and assigned the topic to me. I did the research and wrote a two page report (about 300 words) on the subject.

PUT YOUR DREAMS TO WORK: I had a dream about selling an essay, which I had hadn’t even written at the time of the dream. The essay, now exists, and is part of an e-book I am writing. The essay is about putting my world back together, as a freelance writer, after being laid off from NASA Glenn Research Center, where I worked for sixteen years as a subcontractor. This is not an easy thing to write about; but since the dream, I now have a use for that story.

USE LISTS OF CURRENT MARKETS: Here is a great way to find not only subject matter, but also a market for the piece, should you write it. But before you do a knock-their-socks-off piece for a listing: read the writer’s guidelines, study the publication and its advertising. The advertising will tell you a lot about the publication and its readers.

REVERSE A PUBLISHED ARTICLE’S IDEA: The article you clipped above could serve as an idea generator, if you reverse the argument put forth in the article.

SAVE YOUR ARTICLE IDEAS: When you find an article idea, write it down. Use a single sentence. Put the idea away for a few days. Then go back to it, find a target market. Study the publication you intend to submit it to. What kind of people read this journal? Slant your article for those readers.

Remember, use you Article Idea Generators often and wisely. An idea is a terrible thing to waste. Good Luck.

To Create a Perpetual Traffic Generator

 by: Michael Southon

What runs through your mind when you hear that ezine articles will bring you masses of fr^e traffic, get you higher listings in the search engines, and raise your profile on the web?

For many people, their reaction is this: "But I'm not an expert - how can I write an article?"

Well, you don't have to be an expert and you don't even have to write the article - at least not much of it.

Interviewing internet experts is one of the easiest ways of coming up with new articles - all you do is ask the questions!

Here are some tips on how to interview internet experts:

  1. Ask them to introduce themselves to your readers - how did they get started in eCommerce? What products or services do they market and what are their domain names?

  2. What is their main promotion technique? Why does it work so well?

  3. Did they have a mentor? How important was their mentor in getting where they are today?

  4. What is the biggest mistake they made in their online career?

  5. What projects are they working on right now?

  6. What is the one program or software they couldn't do without?

  7. What single piece of advice would they give to someone starting out in online business?

      Once you get their answers, you'll immediately come up with half-a-dozen follow-on questions. Write back to them with your extra questions. You'll quickly have more material than you can fit in your article.

      To make your article flow properly, use chatty phrases like: "that's interesting, Joe..." or "that's a really good tip, Mary". Give the reader the feeling that you were having a real conversation.

      The amazing thing about this technique is you'll never run out of new articles - there are enough experts on the web to keep you going for years to come.

      Which is why I call this system The Perpetual Traffic Generator.

      Michael Southon has been writing for the Internet for over 3 years. He has shown hundreds of webmasters how to use this simple technique to get massive free publicity and dramatically increase traffic and sales. For more information visit: http://www.ezine-writer.com/

      This Article may be freely published in its entirety exactly as it appears above. No alterations or changes to the Article are allowed, without the express permission of the Author. The Resource Box must remain with the Article just as it appears.

      If you use this article, please send a brief message to let me know where it appeared: mailto:msouthon@freezineweb.com

      Thank you.

Guaranteed Traffic Generators!

How do you promote a web site for a company that has an extremely limited buying group? Sure, most
of the companies on the Internet today sell one small product or service, which is searched for by
thousands, if not millions of people every day. But, if your company is like ours, you don't have a
lot of people searching for your product. Or your competitor's product! Our company is in the high
voltage capacitor business. There just aren't a lot of uses for our product in today's "smaller,
faster, cheaper" world. What does all of this mean? It means that I have to work twice as hard as
most web developers or promoters to get hits to our site. If your company is like our company, then
you will want to follow the experience driven methods I have listed below.

1. Links, links, links.
I can't say enough about getting sites to link to yours. It is a very simple method, but it takes
time and it WORKS! In my case, I have simply searched for companies that would require one of our
parts. I then write to them and let them know that we would be interested in a link to their site.
Nine out of ten times, they link to us without ever asking for a reciprocal link! Most search
engines today take into account the number of other sites that link to your site. They assume that
if other companies are linked to you, that your site must be good. Another approach is to search
for links to your competitor's page. Go to the sites that come up, and ask them to link to your site
as well. You will be amazed at the number of web sites that are simply devoted to linking to other
pages! To search for links to a page, try using AltaVista or HotBot. As an example, type in the
following: link:www.yahoo.com You will be amazed at the results! Of course, after you request
links to pages, you will have to wait until the search engines have indexed again before they know
that you are now linked to other sites. Search Engines index on a rate from every two weeks to ever
six months.

2. Meta tags.
You MUST make sure that you have your Meta tags generated properly. This has been covered by Web
Pro News an infinite amount of time, and it is just as important as registering your own domain
name. Without Meta tags, most search engines will just pass over you. For a brief explanation on
Search Engines and for a free Meta tag evaluation, visit Northern Webs at
http://www.northernwebs.com/set/setsimjr.html

3. Text Only versions of your site.
If your page is available to other countries, as our is, it is a good idea to have a text only
version of your site. Why? Because most of the people who are not located in the United States do
not have the Internet connection speeds that we here in the US take for granted. Most of these
people also have older computers with slower processors and low graphics capability. It has to be
annoying for people in foreign countries to go to a site that has a product that they need, only to
find out that they can't read the fancy Flash programming. I do not currently have this text only
version, but I am working on it as we speak. So, to all of you in foreign countries, I have
listened to your requests, and I am taking action!

4. New Killer Content.
Sure, you can have two thousand pages on your site. But, if someone has read them all, why would
they come back? You have to continuously update your page and add new killer content. I suggest a
weekly column or monthly bulletin. You just need something to keep the visitors interested in book
marking your site for future viewing.

If you really want to gain visitors, then you will. When I started our site, we had 25 visitors a
day. Now, we have had 100,000 NEW visitors in the past three months. We now have a 50% return
visitor rate. In our industry, that is good. For our business, it is working phenomenally! The
last bit of advice I can offer is to continually read the Web Pro News daily! It offers intelligent
and cutting edge information, which will help your web site grow exponentially.

Benefits of nitrogen generators

The nitrogen generator can be used in a wide range of activities, from medical research, where it is useful in producing medicines or studying bacteria and viruses, to industry, where it is used to produce different kinds of beverages.

In laboratory studies, the nitrogen generator requires no particular attention because it uses simple electromechanical components such as pressure vessels and valves with a history of reliability in laboratory applications. Since the nitrogen generator simply separates air into its constituent parts, it has no adverse environmental effects. Gas generators are also safer than high pressure tanks, as the nitrogen generator typically operates at a low pressure in the neighborhood of 100 psig and stores small volumes of compressed gas.

In medicine, temperature-controlled nitrogen delivered by a nitrogen generator can be used to preserve protein samples that require special conditions and manipulation. Nitrogen generators are reliable and thus offer a great contribution to laboratory studies.

In industry, nitrogen generators are used nowadays in the production of beer.

Brewing is an art form with a rich culture and history and people are appreciating it more with each passing year. The proper care of the product and the design, building, and maintaining of draft systems will enhance the quality of beer the customer receives. It will ultimately improve sales and profits for the entire industry. Mixed gas is an important part of any high quality long draw draft system. Many beers use nitrogen as an ingredient. The Guinness brewers dissolve nitrogen in the beer, which improves the beer's quality. Nitrogen generators available today ease the work of such brewers. Nitrogen generators filter relatively pure N2 from air and can be a very economical source of Nitrogen. They can be built or used with a blending device and a CO2 source to provide all the gas for any bar or facility.

The right blend between CO2 and Nitrogen will protect the quality of beer, prevent or reduce foaming or flat beer and thus save money. Properly used, a nitrogen generator is the best tool in the draft technician's bag of tricks.

Link Swapping - The Best Traffic Generator

In an article I wrote recently, called Five Point Plan for Promotion, I suggested swapping links with people already linking to your competitor's sites and this generated a few questions about how to do that specifically, which is what I shall attempt to explain here.

For the benefit of those of you who have come in half way through this conversation, swapping links benefits you in two significant ways. Firstly in generating highly targeted direct traffic from those links and secondly in making you "popular" to the search engines' algorithms, thus improving your rankings.

Don't worry about the technicalities of this, just know that the more links you have back to your site, the better off you are with some of the engines. They all work differently, they all change their way of working - develop - so it is impossible for those of us who come under the heading of "average" to keep up with the finite detail.

Why Competitors?

Don't get me wrong. It would be a mistake to go out on the net with the attitude of beating the competition into submission with unfair tactics. That is not what this game is about. The net has opened up the possibility for more bartering, sharing and cooperation and in the long run that will get you further. It is a method especially suited to low-budget marketing.

By all means study who is popular at what you do and strive to be better than them. The top reason I suggest linking to those who link to your competitors is because, intrinsically I am lazy! I am assuming that it will be less work to persuade those people - who are already in the business of linking - to do so again.

Nuts and bolts ...

So how do you do this exactly? First, find out who comes up at the top for the keywords you use to find your site. Do this by searching several search engines at once using WebFerret or Copernic2000. You'll soon see who keeps scoring again and again. Now you want to find who links to them and those will be the people to whom you write requesting a link-swap.

One way you can try it is by using the little add-on that Alta Vista provides. That kindly adds an option (in Internet Explorer 5) to the Tools along the menu, called "Find pages linking to this URL" - thus go to your's or your competitor's page and hit the button. Download the tool here: http://doc.altavista.com/help/search/linksearch.shtml

There is also specific syntax you can enter into each search engine's box, which will make it look for a URL, rather than for keywords. They all seem to have different requirements.

Many of those are listed in an excellent article, Web & Search Engine Facts You Need to Know to Win the Marketing Game, By David Gikandi. The article has a lot of information on each of the major search engines and how they work, including "How to check how many pages link to your site". David is a programmer at SearchPositioning.com. (www.searchpositioning.com). A copy of the article can be found at:
http://www.tucats-design.com/news/issue9.html

Also, there are several of these specific syntax requirements listed in Boogie Jack's Webmaster Tips program, FREE download and well worth it, from:
http://www.boogiejack.com/tipaday.html

Once you have found your targets, visit the sites, find the webmaster's email address and write offering a link swap. Personalise the email, stress the benefits to the other party - it will benefit their traffic and search engine rankings too - and you should have a reasonable success rate.

One quick boost, following along the principles above, is to participate in a simple system called Search Engine Beater http://www.ismy.net/searchbeater.html

Are YOU Using Traffic Generators?

 by Tracie Johansen

You Can Increase Your Traffic by 5000 Hits or More per Month, Quickly and Easily Starting the Very First Day. Don`t Miss Out!

I increased my hits by 200 per day on the very first day on both my sites (That`s 200 on each site).

Want To Hear More?

Benefits of Startup Page Traffic Programs

* Every time your start your browser you will earn a guaranteed visitor to your web site!

* You can get more hits simply by clicking the surf for credits links provided in many of these services.

* You Can Build Your EZine or Mailing List Subscribers Quickly

* You Can Promote Your Affiliate Programs and Make More Money

Tips to Making This The Most Effective

Choose a page on your site that has a sign-up form to your eZine or mailing list. Be sure to have a free gift to offer for signing up. If you need something to offer you can download free eBooks from this site at:

http://www.ipromoteit.com/freeebooks.html

Make sure your page loads quickly. You only have a short time to catch the viewer's attention, so don`t use a page that takes 30 seconds to load or you will lose them. You can check out your load time at:

http://websitegarage.netscape.com/

Make sure to have a KILLER Headline to get ATTENTION! Need Help? Download this free eBook. How To Write With A Magnetic Force So Powerful People Read Every Word!

http://www.ipromoteit.com/magic_letters.exe

Don`t use pop-up windows (they are more of a distraction than help with these services). I have found that if someone uses a pop-up window I spend the whole time I could be viewing the site trying to close the pop-ups. If you do use them, use a small top left window pop-up.

Now be sure to include a banner on this page from one of your banner exchanges. Now your getting hits from them too. If your banner exchange program offers two to one ratio for every 200 hits you get from the traffic generator program you get 100 banner exposures from your banner exchange. Don`t include every banner exchange you can find, this will #1 make your site look cluttered. #2 Slow down load time. Just include 1 - 2 banners.

Here are some good banner exchanges

FreeBanners: become a Gold Member by simply putting your banner on the top of your page and receive 20 credits for each click through plus your banner will be displayed at the top of 60% of all member pages (which mean a higher click through rate).

http://www.free-banners.com/member/?ID152223

Use your Doorway Page as the traffic generator page. Set it up with just your EZine subscribe form and information on your eZine. Again Be sure to include A KILLER Headline.

Use one or several of your affiliate program sites. Some of these services allow you to rotate sites. Still be sure they are fast loading sites to be sure to get maximum exposure.

Start Page Traffic Generators

 

If you have a website and are looking for traffic, you should be using one or more of the Start Page Traffic Generators. They can start delivering an amazing amount of traffic to your website. This article will show you three that I feel are worth using.

1. Starblaze - This is probably the one that is best known of all of the Start Page Generators. It is a very nice traffic builder.

You get one hit for every six times you open your browser. You also receive 1 hit for each time your referrals open their browser. There is a lot of information available on this one. It has gained a lot of attention for the amount of traffic that it has generated for people.

The only drawback that I see at this point, is that it is getting more difficult to find people who have not already been exposed to it. You can check it out here. http://www.startblaze.com/cgi-bin/intro.cgi?60899

2. ClickSilo - This Start Page Generator is officially still in pre-launch. I have just started using this one and I have been quite impressed with the number of hits that I have received already. You receive one hit for every two times you open your browser. You also receive one hit for every ten times your referrals open their browsers. I like the fact that you are receiving two hits for each time you open your browser. The downline doesn't create as many hits as starblaze but the hits you create for yourself, more than makes up for it.

You receive 50 credits for signing up and 100 credits for each person that you sign up. You also receive one hit for every time your downline opens their browser. This goes six levels deep, so you can create quite a downline to build traffic for your website.

One of the things I like about this one, they require the visitor to wait until the website loads before you can press a colored button to get credit for the hit. This ensures that the visitors to your website will have to wait until your site is loaded before they leave.

Another nice thing about this one is that, it is just getting off the ground and it is a lot easier to find people who have not been introduced to it. You can check it out here.
http://www.clicksilo.com/referrals/info.asp?Agent=braveone

3. TrafficJumbo - This is another Start Page Traffic Generator that is in pre launch They have a unique concept. They do not allow replicated type MLM pages to be submitted as a website. This makes it so you don't see the same old pages over and over again, with just another affiliate number.

They also give you one hit for every two times that you open your browser. They are giving everyone who signs up before the launch ( scheduled for September 1 ) 500 free hits. You also receive 50 hits for everyone that you refer prior to the official launch. You also receive 1 hit for every four page views that your referral generates.

When you sign up, they also give you a list of categories to choose what kind of ads you want to receive. This makes your hits more targeted. Here is a link to check this one out.
http://www.jado.org/ttintro.php?referrerid=288

There are more of these Start Page Traffic Generators out there as well. If you are not using one of them now, I suggest that you start. They are free and you will be amazed at the amount of traffic that they bring to your web site.

Sales Tip: My Great Little Lead Generator

My Great Little Lead Generator

What I am going to share with you today relates to any business, trade, or profession without exception.

Its a subject weve all done and something too many of us continue to do that rarely ever results in a positive net gain either in the short term or, worse, in the longer term.For this example, we will use what a car dealer sales pro might do and as I used to do.

We have all placed those little ads offering our excellent product at great prices. Then, we wait for the phone to ring. Sound familiar? Of course.

The accepted response rate is normally four calls on the first day, two on the next then two or three more sometime in the next few day.

If youre really good, youll convert one or two of those calls into something or other and maybe even a sale.That's just a very expensive and frustrating way to do things.

If we spread the same little messages to enough places to reach enough people, the response rate may be enough to bring us business or even to make a profit.

The difficulty is that this approach connects almost 95% only with that one person who actually has an urgent situation at that very moment. So, talk about hit-n-miss.

However, theres a better way that is far more productive and that will keep converting into real sales for a lot longer period of time all from the same ad space and cost.

It was about the same time that I started writing ad and sales presentation copy for myself and others that the idea of connecting with a larger audience while staying within the focus of those who had the immediate need came to be.

I also discovered as you will, that changing the approach even made those with that immediate need much easier to convert. So, let's have some fun with this.

You should be able to increase your response rate by up to six times with a close ratio five times better immediately with future sales of four to five times with no additional cost.

We're just going to change the focus of your ad message.

If I were that car dealer or real estate agent or yellow pages sales pro or whatever else, instead of offering my products or services at great prices then sitting by the phone hoping for a reply, I would go onto the internet and look for "used car buying tips".

Similarly, if I were in dentistry, I would type in "dental hygiene tips". What about a pizza parlor? Why wouldnt they type in "pizza healthy eating tips". They might just look up "healthy eating tips" until they found a few that promote pizza as a healthy food.Hair dressers, cosmetics, health and wellness, fitness, consultants, musical instrument dealer people, and on and on can do the exact same thing.

Then, I would take all the tips and compile a list of 10 reasons that, in the case of the used car dealer, would read: "Free Report" (as the header), "How to Buy a Used Car" (would be the sub-header). The only other text in the ad would be: "Consumer Report shows you how to...". "Call Now for your Free Report".

By using something like: "Consumer Reports show..." the reader is more likely to find value and interest than if I were to write "Come by and I'll show..." Right? Of course.

Then, I would shrink it down to reduce the words and cost while increasing the impact.

This is exactly the same approach I use when people ask me to write their ad and promotional copy. Do you know, for instance, that most outside consultants haven't got a clue of the benefits to hiring them instead of sourcing the same services in-house?

Now, a simple question: Which one of the following ads do you think would pull better?

The spray and pray "buy me", "buy me" one you do now that really tells them nothing about you or the more open-ended approach that displays your care, credibility, authority, and willingness to help with valuable free information? Of course.

People always respond to a free something or other especially free information. 1) You will convert the one with the immediate problem. And, s/he will be easier to deal with.

Whats really exciting, this approach will still get that one potential client who has an immediate used car buying problem.However and better, this approach will pre-qualify you as that worthy, caring, willing, authoritative source of remedy.

Isnt this the kind of car dealer you would most want to deal with? Of course!

One important caution: Make sure that the free report, while being free of direct advertising for you and your service, still targets your companys or product / services unique strengths that provides exceptional benefit value to your customers while also being a distinct advantage over your competitors.You can slip something into your P/S under your name.

However, heres where it gets to be fun.

2) You will earn and begin a new list of potentials for your tickler file.

When some other phone-in who doesnt have an immediate need is quizzed properly, s/he may still be a potential client if not now then somewhere soon down the road.

Usually, this person either has just bought a new car and wants to protect themselves from a future nasty surprise or it is someone whos car is showing signs of serious deterioration and is looking for ways to extend its life while saving up for the eventual replacement.

After all, why are they calling in? This opens a whole bunch of doors of new opportunity for you and your business.

3) You could open a whole new world of income opportunities.
For example, you could build in a new service like an annual safety inspection for $50 plus $25 for quick but quality band-aid work, etc.

One person could easily do ten of those on just one really slow day and earn a decent income. And, it could even likely lead to some repair work or a new sale.

You see: You open doors to open more doors.

Best still, heres where it gets thrilling for you as it always does for me.

4) You will instantly add a whole lot of new names to the most important pursuit of your every day life for your business and for your career... your list.

They get the free report only by email and only if they allow you to send them "free valuable car buying and maintenance tips and important product updates from time to time". That's fair.

Important Note: You can send anything to anybody only if you have their permission. Having them in your database is not the same thing.

Done properly, what this means to you is a life-time of on-growing business opportunity.

Not only can you communicate your specials for as long as you dont abuse this privilege, you will open a whole world of new opportunity doors for your business.

Imagine if you opened a new line of car care products or just made a special volume purchase at a tremendous discount or just did a joint venture that you could promote through your new list.

So, now you have a whole new bunch of opportunities while placing this prospect into your tickler file. Really! The range of opportunity is limited only to your imagination.

Bonus: Imagine if you had to start your career over. This would be one way to do it. And, if you start the process now and grow your contact base, starting over would be just a matter of injecting the new whatever business you were into and, if you have respected them, the majority of your members would just make the change with you.

5) You will get referrals both immediately as well as with every issuance of your "free valuable information and important product updates".

Free money!

The person you are sending it to is likely to need your services soon anyway and is likely to recommend your services to their neighbors, friends, and relatives consistent with the value and quality of your "free valuable car buying tips and important product updates".

Remember, this technique applies to absolutely any business and any body.

Now, one caution in all this, do not offer free car inspections or free anything that consumes your time, effort, or money.

While there are exceptions, they are rare and the payback on this approach is not worth the result. And, it sends a really bad message.

Dear reader, next time you think of running an ad and hoping for something good to happen, why not give this approach a try.

Your response rate will zoom. And, not only will you get the immediate jobs, you will start a whole new marketing response rate beginning now and continuing as long as you want or need it to even forever.

10 Everlasting Profit Generators!

1. Sell an inexpensive product to sell an expensive
product. If people like your inexpensive product,
they'll be persuaded to buy your expensive one.

2. Allow your visitors to decided how much they
want to pay for your product. I only recommend it
for products that don't sell or ones that hardly sell.

3. Create an extra revenue stream with your web
site's articles or content. Publish the first paragraph
of each article and charge people to read the rest.

4. E-mail targeted e-zines and ask them to do a
joint venture with you. Ask them to run your ad and
in exchange they get a percentage of the profits.

5. Find a tiny niche for your new free e-zine. There
are thousands of free e-zines; your e-zine needs to
be extra specialized to attract new subscribers.

6. Test your ads by using autoresponders. You can
have people e-mail your autoresponders to get more
information and you just check your traffic reports.

7. Create credibility and trust with your visitors by
telling them something they already know. They'll
know for sure you're not lying to them.

8. Make residual income from your customers by
selling back end products. If you don't have any,
you could sign up to related affiliate programs.

9. Use a redirect page to boost your sales. People
think the long affiliate URLs look unprofessional in
e-mail so you could redirect them to a web link.

10. Create an extra income from your web site by
charging for consulting. The consulting should be
related to your web site's theme.

Mini-Sites -- Highly Targeted Sales Generators

If you're looking for a highly effective method of increasing your Internet sales, then mini-sites may be your answer. Mini-sites are one of the most effective marketing tools online. Not only are they effective, but they're also very inexpensive and easy to create.

The concept is simple. Create a one or two page website that completely focuses on one specific topic. Everything within this page should have one purpose -- getting your visitors to take action.

This page should be neatly designed in standard HTML with no Flash or fancy plug-ins and very few graphics. There should be no banners or outside links of any kind -- nothing that will distract your visitors' attention.

The sole purpose of a mini-site is to attract highly targeted traffic. The more targeted the better. For example, if you have a website that sells a number of products, a good mini-site will focus on one specific product instead of all of the products. You can create a mini-site for each product you offer.

Designing Your Mini-Site

Each mini-site you create should be optimized for that one specific product. Concentrate on just a few keyword phrases, as this will help you to tighten your targeting. Remember ... the tighter the targeting the better.

* Title - Your "Title" should contain your most important keywords. You've probably heard that before, but I've found a slightly different method for optimizing the title. Since mini-sites focus on just one product, place the "most" important "keyword phrase" first. Not just your most important phrase, but the keyword phrase that you think people will use when they do a search. Instead of capitalizing the first letter, type it in lowercase, as most people type in all lowercase letters when searching. This will assist you in ranking higher in the Search Engines for your targeted audience.

* Description - Your description should focus on one specific product and not generalize. Make sure you include your most important keywords towards the beginning of your description. In addition, make sure your description describes your site in detail. You want your potential visitors to know exactly what you're offering. Your description should be less than 200 characters.

* Keywords - Concentrate on just a few keyword phrases.

* Heading tags - Search Engines pay close attention to the text displayed within the "Heading" tags. Place your most important keyword phrase within a "Heading" tag.

* Graphic Alt tags - Place a readable keyword phrase within your graphic "Alt" tags.

* Text - All of your text should focus on your product. There should be no filler text whatsoever. It should have one specific purpose -- getting your visitor to take action. Make sure you include your keyword phrases throughout your text.

If you'd like to set up your mini-site using tables, try to place your "Heading" text above your "Table" code. If this isn't possible, make sure you include your keyword phrases within your top left "Table cell" to assist you in ranking higher in the Search Engines.

Mini-sites are not limited to just your products. They can also be used with any affiliate programs you may be promoting. You can include extra incentives such as a free bonus for purchasing the product or even your personal recommendation. This is a great way to presell the product.

Hosting Your Mini-Site

Although it is much better to have your own domain name, these sites can be hosted on a free server and still rank high in the Search Engines. Keep in mind, free sites do not build trust and credibility. No matter which option you choose, make sure you place your most important keyword phrase (the keyword phrase that you think people will use when searching) within your web address.

Drive Targeted Traffic to Your Site

Once you have tested the effectiveness of your site and have a good conversion rate, (the number of visitors compared to the number of sales) you can buy targeted traffic. Overture is the number one pay-per-click Search Engine and will most likely produce the best results. http://www.overture.com

For additional options, visit: http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com/ They provide information and reviews on a number of pay-per-click Search Engines.

The key to using this technique effectively is to bid on "very" targeted keywords. This will weed out the casual visitors and only attract your target audience. There's no sense in paying for visitors who really weren't interested to begin with.

In addition to bidding on keywords, you can also advertise in targeted ezines and even purchase some targeted banner advertising. Be creative and take the time to test all of your promotions prior to spending a lot of money.

If you really want to increase your sales, create some mini-sites. They are one of the cheapest and easiest to create profit generators online.
