<p><strong>1. Video.</strong><br /> Search engines love video, they gobble it up, index it lickety split.<br /> It's easy to do short, quality content videos on specific niches, or how tos, or reviews etc. <br /> The more videos the better, and you DON'T have to appear on screen, it's up to you.<br /> You don't have to have studio lighting and perfection of a movie star, be yourself, talk about what you know. </p>
<p><strong>2. Think like a VISITOR to your site, or Prospective Customers</strong><br /> What do people logically use to find what you offer?<br /> What words? What combination of words? What variations?<br /> Google does not require exact match key words, they are able to understand relationships/concepts based on blog/site/page content. <br /> What key do words did YOU use to find your competitor's site?<br /> Use your brain, and if you really want to dig into this, there are lots of free tools you can use to analyze the best key words for your business.</p>
<p><strong>3. Build your brand, your niche, your expertise </strong><br /> Trust is important to your buyers, and also to Google, BING etc who put a value on AUTHORITY deemed sites as a gauge of trust. <br /> Authority is something that search engines use to weigh the merit of a website as being more valuable then another in terms of rich content.<br /> Put your time and effort into good key word rich specific content on lots of different platforms.</p>
<p><strong>4. Social Media matters</strong><br /> If you don't have social media accounts, get them! <br /> Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linked In. Start there.<br /> Consider setting up personal accounts and separate company accounts <br /> Remember everything you post, is your footprint, a trail leading to you from all your postings, key words, content, pages, blog entries.</p>
<p><strong>5. Mobile friendly sites are preferred.. </strong><br /> Starting September 2020, Google switched to mobile-first indexing for all sites.<br /> They provide a Mobile-Friendly Test Tool so you can see how Google’s mobile search agent views your site. </p>
<p><strong>6. SSL Certificates matter</strong><br /> SSL (domain name validation) is important for your buyers AND are checked and validated by search engines.<br /> Be sure to have an SSL Certificate for your domain name, so you can use BOTH http and https for your domain name.<br /> Visitors to your site see the padlock in the browser indicating their data is secure when using your site.<br /> A purchased SSL Certificate is advised over anything that is free - remember free services are ad laden, their interest is their own not yours,<br /> AND they tend to just vanish into the night. </p>
<p><strong>7. Site Redirects</strong><br /> Be careful with redirects, too many and it may effect your SEO. <br /> Let your site be your site, if using ad trackers, redirects, do it with limits, or get separate sites/pages for different purposes.</p>
<p><strong>8. Use ALT Image text </strong><br /> Before posting your graphics be sure to include Alt Image Attributes.<br /> Images get indexed by Google and other search engines, and are also important to your visually impaired customers.</p>
<p><strong>9. Internal site linking</strong><br /> When you’re linking internally on your site, you don't have to link with your keyword terms internally. <br /> The content around the link is usually sufficient for key words / concept indexing. </p>
<p><strong>10. Content has been - and CONTINUES to be KING</strong><br /> That is one thing that has not changes in the every-changing rules of SEO. <br /> When it comes to content it should include key words but don't overdue it.<br /> Better to have detailed quality content that is informational and reader friendly, then sparse low-value content peppered with a repetition of key words.<br /> FAQ pages are a good way to get good quality content for SEO whle providing a service for your customers.</p>
<p><strong>One final bit of advise. </strong> </p>
<p>If you don't already have a Google Analytics account get one, it's free and includes info on metatags and lots of helpful information direct from the source.<br /> While you are at it, get BING Webmaster Tools also to access new audiences, and other useful reports and SEO tips. <br /> Don't put all your marketing eggs in Google's basket.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line.</strong><br /> Do the basics to help your SEO ranking, but don't forget about your customers. <br /> Keep it user-friendly, write for your customers primarily - they are your audience and your buyer - NOT Google.<br /> Post quality content often accross a variety of platforms with limited repetiion and you will do just fine.</p>

<p>It's come to our attention that some of our Members have been taken in by some dishonest Solo Ad Vendors not associated with <span class="scayt-misspell-word">Worldprofit</span>. </p>
<p>We've written these guidelines to help you make good decisions when purchasing solo ads. </p>
<p>Solo Ads are an effective and powerful way to promote your affiliate links and grow your email marketing list.</p>
<p><u><strong>Here's how it works.</strong></u></p>
<p>You submit your ad to a Solo Ad Vendor / Seller and he or she sends your ad out to a Subscriber list (email marketing list).<br />If your Solo Ad is well written and compelling, you should immediately start getting a flow of <span class="scayt-misspell-word">optins</span> and people joining your own email marketing list or <span class="scayt-misspell-word">autoresponder</span>. The Vendor may or may not provide you with some type of tracking for your Solo Ad stats. </p>
<p><strong>Solo Ad Advantages</strong></p>
<ul><li>Solo Ads are effective for promoting affiliate marketing links, online business opportunities and MLM (business models that are often banned by Facebook or Twitter)</li>
<li>It's excellent target marketing as your Solo Ad gets sent to a subscriber list - people who have agreed to receive marketing promotions. The list recipients are involved in affiliate marketing themselves and are motivated as they may earn credits for viewing the ads in exchange for agreeing to receive email promotions.</li>
<li>Usually there are few limits on the size of your Solo Ad</li>
<li>Warm and receptive market as people who receive the solo ads have agreed to and are expecting to receive various marketing promotions. </li>
<li>Easy to Track <span class="scayt-misspell-word">optins</span> to test your ad, your marketing campaign and the list </li>
</ul><p><strong>Solo Ad Disadvantages</strong></p>
<p>There are actually NO disadvantages to the practice of Solo Ads, the disadvantages are solely related to the honesty and reliability of the VENDOR / SELLER of the Solo Ads. </p>
<p><strong>Here's what to watch out for when evaluating Solo Advertising Vendors</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. If the Vendor insists that you use ONLY their Capture Page, and not one of your own, be cautious.</strong><br />Reason: Some vendors require you use their Contact page so they have complete control and can "inject" the lead form with bot traffic.<br />This makes you think you are getting a large number of <span class="scayt-misspell-word">optins</span> but ou can't tell the source or the type of traffic, you just know you are getting a lot of leads / <span class="scayt-misspell-word">optins</span>. While initially you may be impressed with the <span class="scayt-misspell-word">optin</span> rate, you eventually try to contact those people and your fears are confirmed, they are fake, or the trend is consistent that a large number of the leads state they never signed up for anything. In the case where a login is required, you may notice that the lead never logs in, very strange. <br />Unscrupulous vendors use robotic software programs that have Auto Form Fill functions and that can vary the IP, so it seems that the leads are coming from different computer and parts of the world. The fact that these are robotic software programs means they can churn out unlimited "leads" and "<span class="scayt-misspell-word">optins</span>" to unknowing, trusting buyers. </p>
<p><strong>2. If there is no way to get on the list of the Vendor / Seller to actually see and receive your Solo Ads and those ads of other marketers, be skeptical.</strong><br />Reason: If the Vendor has a list of subscribers there should be no reason why you cannot subscribe to that list to get a confirmation or verification of your Solo Ad as a recipient.</p>
<p><strong>3. If the Vendor / Seller won't allow you to use your own 3rd party tracking software, ask questions.</strong><br />Without your own 3rd party, unbiased tracker, you have no choice but to trust that what they reveal is truthful.<br />Using your own good quality tracker program can reveal to you referral source, IP, time on page, exit times and more. extremely useful data that can reveal REAL traffic from FAKE traffic. </p>
<p><strong>4. If the Refund Policy Guarantees Conversion or you don't pay, ask questions and read the fine print.</strong><br />Reason: Sketchy vendors use words like 100% Risk Free to gain your trust and ease your worry. They know you are busy and most people don't take the time to read Terms and Conditions. If you take the time to read the Refund Policy who will often find <span class="scayt-misspell-word">therre</span> are conditions or a cancellation fee, or you could unintentionally violate their terms making your refund null and void.</p>
