One way of doing this is using the ser­vice of Ping-O-Matic.

Ping-O-Matic is a ser­vice to update dif­fer­ent search engines that your blog has updated.

They reg­u­larly check down­stream ser­vices to make sure that the blog is legit and still works.

Check it out here: http://pingomatic.com/

I believe I saw a code out there that will do this auto­mat­i­cally and if I can find it will post it here for you.

Happy Hol­i­days!

I am sure that you have seen many dif­fer­ent web site/ web page vari­a­tions of sell­ing online. A lot of them are long sales pages. Most of these offer more bonuses than what the prod­uct is worth. Here are a cou­ple of tips to help you.

1. Offer a sim­ple sales process. If you make it hard for peo­ple to pur­chase your prod­uct you have lost the sale.
2. Offer a sim­ple deliv­ery process. Give peo­ple the option of at least two deliv­ery options, one tak­ing only a few days (inter­na­tional deliv­ery not included).

Writ­ing con­tent for your web­site can be a chal­lenge. Some write in the first per­son, oth­ers in the sec­ond per­son, some write what they offer, oth­ers write what they can do bet­ter… The bot­tom line in writ­ing con­tent for your web­site is speak­ing to your visitor.

Vis­i­tors to your site find you because they have done a search to find you and your con­tent is related to their need. That is very impor­tant to remem­ber — THEIR NEED. Focus on your vis­i­tor, their needs, thoughts and emo­tions. Once they see that you under­stand and you are address­ing what they are look­ing for THEN you can write about you, your com­pany, your prod­uct, etc., and build your credibility.

Stay tuned for more!

Happy Hol­i­days!

“Get Listed In Search Engines Guar­an­teed” is a mes­sage that most peo­ple will receive in var­i­ous types of emails. The one I read recently really made me laugh because in fact is it is not only true, but it will hap­pen, if you just do some smart SEO with­out hav­ing to spend a dime on mar­ket­ing or SEO.

What I received said:

“If it is vital to you that cus­tomers eas­ily find your site, this is the plan for you. It is a 26 week process that guar­an­tees you’ll be listed with the search engines.“

If you are not listed in search engines in that length of time then you really have to have a seri­ous look at your web­site, con­tent, etc.

I do have to admit that this one is very real­is­tic com­pared to the one I wrote about. Have a look here: http://www.jbcr-virtualsolutions.com/tips-and-articles.html#10

Remem­ber the line — “If Is Sounds Too Good To Be True It Prob­a­bly Is”? ‘Tis True — Don’t For­get It!

Many arti­cle soft­ware sub­mis­sion prod­ucts, even the ones that say they don’t require auto­mated clicks, require that you click ‘next’, ‘next’, etc., and, at the very least, con­firm the account with the arti­cle direc­tory via email con­fir­ma­tion. This is far from auto­mated don’t you think?

Arti­cle direc­tory sites, where you need to con­firm via email con­fir­ma­tion, you have to go through at least the sign-up process. The best arti­cle direc­tory sites require sing-up and email con­fir­ma­tion, that’s just the way it works. It is a one-time process so arti­cle sub­mis­sion soft­ware may work after the sign-up and email con­fir­ma­tion — not sure, I haven’t tried it YET. I will report back.

Do be Care­ful — arti­cle sub­mis­sion soft­ware that auto­mates every­thing to arti­cle direc­tory sites that don’t require an email con­fir­ma­tion, you are pretty much assured of being lost in a sea of spam on direc­to­ries that peo­ple you want to reach do not want to visit and never will.

Remem­ber, no script is truly auto­mated — at least at this point from what I can determine.
