Resources and Links
This is my personal resource page for all things internet marketing.
Learning the biz
These are sites to get your brain up to speed with the concepts and business strategies of internet marketing.
Must join forums
Forums are a great place for networking, ideas and to get questions answered. Be sure to put your site name in your signature as they can also
be an excellent source of free traffic.
Finding Hot Products
Places to check the pulse of what is hot and trendy. Once you find some potential products you can move on to keyword research to see how many
people are looking for them.
Keyword tools
These tools will help to verify market demand for specific keyword terms. These are essential research tools. There are lots of expensive
software tools for this as well but the free ones work great.
Affiliate networks
Places to find products to sell. Signing up as an affiliate is quick, painless and free and you can immediately start
promoting products. You sell products by sending potential customers to the merchant's sales site (ie: amazon.com) and you make a commission when
they buy something.
Pre-sell sales page examples
Examples of successful sales pages that use the standard formula.
Places to put ezine ads
Advertising in ezines gives you immediate access to targeted niche mailing lists.
Article posting sites
Article sites are great for getting free content for your website. You can also submit your own articles to create traffic or to sell
affiliate products.
Press release sites
Similar to article posting sites. Press releases are used to announce a new product, service, event, or newsworthy item.
Link building
Trading links with other sites weaves your site into the web and generates traffic and PageRank.
Black Hat
Stuff you're not supposed to do that will probably get you banned from Google.
Blog and Ping
Blog and ping is a common technique for announcing your blog posts. It's kind of like throwing a rock at somebody's door to get their
attention.
Web directories (paid and free)
Getting listed in web directories lets the world (and search engines) know about your website. The higher the PR of the directory the
better.
Content
Tracking
These tools help you track where your sales are coming from. This helps you to focus on what works and to stop spending money on stuff that
doesn't work.
Social bookmarking
These sites are like a "favorites" list that you share with the world. Having your site bookmarked will help it's rankings in the search
engines and create search results for the bookmark itself. The more bookmarks your site gets the better.
