Taking the Spam "Flavour" from Email Marketing

Most experienced marketers are aware of the difference between Spam and Non Spam, officially. We need to have subscribers sign up first before we can start sending and also offer a method of unsubscribing at any time. There are many more guidelines to Spam but these are the two major ones.

Now I would like to talk to you about how to go about not having your subscribers click that little unsubscribe link at the bottom of the page.

As our inboxes get more and more crowded with email marketing, our subscribers are looking more keenly at being provided with relevant content - content they expected to receive when subscribing to our newsletters in the first place.

Email blasting advertisement is done, it is passe and frankly it doesn't work anymore. Do what you can to find out your subscribers profiles either at sign up or somewhere during your email marketing campaign. Use this information to deliver content that will be helpful and useful to them, in other words, of value.

Some people may fashion their email campaign in the form of a report and offer corresponding links to books or products directly related to the subject matter. For example if your target audience are pet owners and your email subject is about making your own pet food, you may consider adding a link to a Pet Food Recipe Book sold on buy.com or amazon with your affiliate URL. If you own an online store and stock this particular product, even better, just link to your store.

The trick is to offering value to your customers is to educate then sell. Give them a logical reason why they should continue to subscribe to your newsletters and follow your recommendations and you will eventually create a nice following of customers. Happy customers, who will share and recommend your valuable resources to others.

So even if you are not "officially" in the bounds of spamming consider carefully what your goals are. The Internet was built for information if you giving information and providing valuable content and products then you will soon develop the key to success in online marketing... an authority in your field and a good reputation.

Prime Real Adstate - Reviewed by the Traffic Master

http://www.primerealadstate.com


A few days ago I received an email from mycashcloner and decided to follow a link through to a new advertising program. I have been an affiliate of mycashcloner for quite some time and I have always felt the products, mainly marketing resources, they put in front of their members to market were useful and easy to promote.

When I arrived at primerealadstate.com, I realized it was brand new as very few members had visited yet but something sparked my interest. Even though I see that there are some bugs and growing pains while the product is still in the development stage there is something that appealed to me about this system as an Internet marketer right from the start.

As a Traffic Master promise I do not post my resources until I test and prove them for myself. I bought a piece of prime real estate, you will see my Web 2.0 Trends banner in a penthouse suite on the home page. Over the past three days almost 40 clicks of what I consider to be highly targeted traffic from that banner

Although my blog is mainly about free resourcing I will pay for traffic if it is highly targeted and proves to have good conversion rates. I understand that there are different types and quality of traffic.

For example I use Google Adwords as this is generally search engine/related website traffic that rewards me with targeted traffic. The average cost of a Google Adwords Click Through is between .12 and .35, or course I could pay more but I like to maintain a reasonable budget.

Now if we compare these stats to my banner click through rate on Prime Real Estate you will see that in a little less than three days I have had appx 40 clicks. So as the day is not through yet lets say an estimated amount of traffic of 15 clicks per day.

The cost of the Prime Real Adstate Penthouse Suite was $9.95 for 15 days. This is the highest price Real Adstate I could purchase, the costs of the adspace lowers as the you progress down the building levels to the basement. 9.95 divided over 15 days equals 67 cents per day. So my click through cost is somewhere around 4 cents per click through. That to me is well worth the banner ad space! Somehow I am thinking that this site is going to become much busier in the days to come as I am seeing quite a few new members every time I log in.

We don't get a commission from the people we refer that advertise as there doesn't seem to be any profit sharing set in place. We do however get advertising credits and a percentage of the credits earn by referred members. I will explain this in more detail later.

You do not have to purchase real estate to become a member and although they have a membership upgrade you do not have to upgrade your membership either although I do recommend it. You can partake in and benefit from the Prime Real Adstate resources free of charge.

Now aside from just the banner space on the front page, there are tools within the pages that I see as being highly valuable as a marketer.

For instance, I went through each link in my profile and filled in all possible data to do with promoting my website. I then took some time to do a little surfing (about 30 sites and 10 seconds each) on their manual traffic exchange. I then allocated my credits.

  • I am seeing my classified ad on other members pages
  • I am seeing my ad in e-mail sent out to new members.
  • I am seeing my website on the traffic exchanges.
  • I am seeing that there has been a lot of planning and insight put into this hub
  • I am seeing my banner in rotation
I am seeing my stats on my new www.trafficmaster.info increase in number along with my advertising revenue the site generates.

I am giving it the Traffic Master Seal of Approval to Prime Real Adstate.

Well done Prime Real Adstate!

Do you Squidoo?

Squidoo.com

If you are an on-line marketer you have most likely heard the buzz about Squidoo Lenses in the past year or so. Squidoo lenses are a relatively new Web 2.0 platform for people to share their expertise in different fields.

A page created in Squidoo is known as a 'lens' in Squidoospeak. The concept of the lens in to 'focus' in on your niche target audience. When you create a lens, or several lenses you become a lensmaster.

Lensmasters
are encouraged to produced multiple lenses to maximize profits and exposure. Creating the average lense take appx. 10 minutes. So creating 100 lenses in a few months time is really a piece of cake.

The more lenses you have the more exposure and traffic you get, not to mention the more cash you earn.

There is no reason why should not have a lens for every affiliate link, business venture, marketing ideas, or any topic of interest that you may have.


Squidoo Lenses Are:

  • Very easy to build - Similar to a Single Page Blog
  • A platform for you to speak out to a receptive audience about anything!
  • A place where you can build a following and recommend your favorite stuff.
  • A place to find out more info on the web.
  • A place to earn revenues both for you and for charity groups.
  • A way to create an instant "Word of Mouth' buzz
  • If you need to get the word out a Squidoo lens is something you should have whether you are, selling something, sharing info, changing minds, or if you just love to express yourself, create, and play.


There are currently over 180,000 Squidoo lenses.

The Squidoo.com website founded by Seth Godin, launched October 2005. It is currently ranked at 508 with the Alexa ranking system. Squidoo has had an average growth of 40% monthly since the spring of 2007. It is a new up and comer and is also giving a lot of exposure to the average internet marketer.

Seth Godin

Seth Godin created the site on his belief that "Everyone is an Expert in Something".

Has been known as a highly communicative participant in the on-line marketing world. Will take the time to send letters of praise to on-line marketers he feels are "are on the right track".

He currently has 9 well known e-books published. I highly recommend each and every one of them. Seth knows his stuff.

You can visit Seth's blog and download his e-books at http://sethgodin.typepad.com/

SEO that never seems to fail.


Not only does Squidoo bring you targeted quality traffic and exposure but Squidoo lenses are get ranked! I am sure you have noticed by now that when you search specific items on the internet that there is at least one Squidoo page listed on the first page if not the top position.

If you would like to try this out. Type in the following search term into the Google search box above..."SaleSpider". Sales Spider is an on-line business social group I belong to. I have created a Squidoo page to get the word out (and also I get $1 per member I sign up). You will see my Squidoo lens currently at position number #5 on the first page. Want to try it again? Type in "the Tubeinator". Look at that! Position #1. Again? "Making a perfect cup of coffee" Again...First Page. Well I think you get my point.


When you create a Squidoo lens, it's like having a team of SEO experts working for you for free. The html code that ranks your page is automatically created. You don't have to worry about Meta tags, Key Words, Key Word Density. All you have to do is fill in the blanks, Squidoo's emedded SEO system takes care of the rest. Pretty cool.

So how do you create a Squidoo lens?

It's just so easy. The best way to learn is to just jump right it!

Go to this address
Squidoo.com. This will take you to the home page. You just follow through each page step by step. In 10 minutes you can have your first lens.

My suggestion is to pick appx. 10 niche topics and create a squidoo lens for each one. When you find out which ones are getting rankings and traffic narrow them down. In the end pick your favorite of the most popular and start creating as many pages as you can to do with this topic. If you can create a few pages everyday...less than one hour per day...you can create a nice income just from using Squidoo alone.

Income?

Yes! Not only does Squidoo offer you traffic and ranking to your URLs, build up your reputation but it is an excellent source of income!

When you create and publish your first Squidoo lens you enter the Squidoo co-op. The co-op shares 50% of Squidoo total revenue from Adsense and other sources.

You will notice when you create your lens you are given 'modules' to promote other products from Amazon, Cafe Press, Netflix, and more. Everytime someone clicks on these links and purchases through your lens you earn more revenue!

Want more income? If you have an e-bay store they offer a module to automatically place your current e-bay auctions.

Want more income? Find related products from Affiliate programs and include banners, pictures, and links to your affiliate ads. Personally I use shareasale.com and commision junction to find my affiliate products.

The Secret is in the list.

As professional on-line marketers we hear this "Secret is in the List" over and over again. We know we need an opt-in list. Many of us have everything to set to go, the autoresponder and even the opt-in pages but the list building goes very slowly for most of us.

You will be amazed at how easily and quickly you can establish yourself as an expert in your field using Squidoo. Simply divide up your knowledge of what you already understand into as many categories (or lenses) as you possibly can.

Offer informed, fresh, relevant, interesting and concise information and in return you will see how fast your reputation and ranking will increase (your goal is to make a top 100 lens and ultimately a lens of the day).

To build a list either place a link to your opt-in page or offer your opt-in code right on your lenses. You now have a receptive audience that respects and trusts you at your fingertips. They are there waiting eager to here what you have to say and ready for your recommendations.


Also be sure to fill in your Bio Section. A Bio Section is looked at by most members that read your lens so be sure to take some time in putting this info together. Without sounding pompous be sure to put information together in a way that will help you to establish yourself as an expert in your field therefore gaining trust and reputation with your readers. If you establish that you have something to say then people will listen on the other hand if you leave this field blank you are basically saying you are 'nobody' worth listening to.

Upon Completion of your first lens:

Most likely you will look back on the 10 - 20 minutes it took for you to put together your initial creation and think "How easy was that?" That is the charm of the Squidoo lens. The ease and speed of creation. You will soon be on your way to creating another and then another until you have completely exhausted your niche. The results? Well that is the most addicting part! Traffic to your existing business, recognition in your field, a following, a list, and multiple new streams of income.

Some lenses will catch hold in time, others will be like traffic magnets. The only way to find out is to test and try and try again. Like digging for oil. Some wells are dry while others give moderate results, in the end all it takes is to find the well that spews forth in abundance. If the first well you create does not live up to your expectations keep drilling it is just a matter of time.

Insiders Secret! Strategies to make the most of your Squidoo Lens:

Once you have created a few different lenses go through them all (I personally set up a bookmarks folder containing each of my lenses so I can open them up across my Firefox browser in tabs). Choose which lens you feel the best about.

The goal now is to get your lens ranked. The higher your ranking the more you will be establishing your credibility in your particular field and the more you will be turned to as a reliable resource, thus establishing reputation and trust. If you get the gist of squidoo page ranking you may even break into the coveted top 100.

Using he Web 2.0 Modules in the most strategic and effective ways help you achieve ranking. The Web 2.0 modules are the ones that enable you to interact with your visitors. On a regular website these particular modules can be difficult to set up and employ but with Squidoo it is a piece of cake!

As lensemaster you can utilize Squidoo modules to provide links, feeds, abstracts and lists to users that have come to your lens as a resource. Incorporating different modules a single lens can point to photos on Flickr, Google maps, blogs, ebay auctions, YouTube Videos and other links
without one iota of technical know how like everything else it is just a matter of filling in the blanks.

The more interactive your lense the better your results, with SEO, with lens ranking, with your list building efforts, and overall sales and traffic.

How Does the Squidoo Ranking System Work?

Squidoo Ranking System

The ranking system determines how useful and reliable your information is to other Squidoo members. If your rank is in the first couple thousand you will be seen as a better resource than someone that has a lens rank of #37405.

The top 100 ranked lenses are there for a reason. The Squidoo lensemaster in the top 100 have earned their position through credibility. The top 100 is an elite sub group of Squidoo and they have a special showcase on the Squidoo website.

The special showcase will give you an immediate boost in traffic basically putting your Squidoo lenses in high gear for earning potential.

Featured Lens aka "Lens of the Day"

Everyday Squidoo chooses a "Lens of the Day". To get chosen for the lens of the day choose your favorite lens be sure it is not blatant advertising and submit it to the review team.

If you lens is chosen you we be featured and your lens will be mailed out to all Squidoo members. You will get some pretty amazing traffic and exposure if you manage to submit a winning lens.

My suggestion is to go through previous winners. Make notes on what you like about their lens. Examine how they use their modules and display their content.

Everyone is an expert

Everyone is an expert at something. Lensemasters create single page blogs they call lenses. The concept being that if 100 lenses are created on the same subject the cream will naturally rise to the top using squidoos ranking system. This optimally being the freshest, most useful, most popular lenses. On the other hand the junk lenses will set at the bottom.

Free Directory Submitter.

The first marketing step I would suggest for ANY website is to submit it to the top 400 Link Directories.

Submitting to directories my not be the best method to get traffic to your website but what it will do is create incoming links otherwise known as backlinks.

Search Engines start in these places and find your website through the links you place in them creating a 'foundation' other links will build upon.

Without any exceptions I have submitted all of the numerous websites I have built throughout my on-line marketing career. It is a necessary step we all should take first thing after registering our domain and creating our site regardless of the traffic returns. We are not doing this for traffic we are doing this for Search Engine Optimization, otherwise known as SEO.

When looking for a product, service, home business, widget maker or whatever info offered on the internet, the first place people will go to look for that info is the Search Engines. It is the most commonly used, most targeted, and the most powerful source of traffic. Next to e-mail, search engines are the number #1 starting point for all interaction on the internet.

Getting your pages ranked is the most important thing you will ever do. It is a tedious, time consuming process but it must be done. The longer you wait, the more chance your internet business is going to end up out of the first 100 pages on Google, Yahoo, and other search engines.

If you follow all my processes for getting traffic and your link out there you should do much better than the first 100 pages. Hopefully much of your exposure would be in first 10 pages if not on the first page for niche specific material.

If you are a promoting an MLM or Affiliate company through an URL redirect there is not any reason you should not be on the first pages using the Traffic Master System.

Proof:

Type in E4L.biz in the Google Search Bar above.

The #1 ranked site is E4L.biz.
The #2 ranked site is thecarrotchaser.com. That is mine.
The #3 ranked site is grabthepopcorn.com. That is mine too.

I am not trying to brag here. I am just trying to give you incentive to follow my lead so you can achieve the same results for your own business. The proof is in the pudding. Success attracts success. If someone is doing something that is working chances are they may just know what they are doing.

Starting with the directories is the first step. I would love to tell you that was the last step and it was as easy as that but of course it is not. If it were that easy then everyone would just do that and we would all be at square one again.

It is a combination of all my systems that will determine the success of your on-line business.

Some of my systems generate instant traffic, lots of it. Others generate very targeted traffic with high conversion rates. While the main function of others, Directory Submission included, is to get you up there in the search engine ranked prominently where you will get the highest quantity, quality,targeted and highest conversion traffic available on the internet outside of word-of-mouth.

You will never be able to submit to all the link directories out there so instead what you want to do is to submit to the directories that have the highest Alexa page ranking. Even with this weeding out process you will still find the number of submissions you will be making for each site will be between 400 and 500. In other words, this is not a quick task. It is tedious, boring and time consuming.

Thankfully I have a link to some free software to help you through this process. Without software to keep you up to date on the top sites and to help you auto-fill your content, you could start today and you would still be posting to these sites months from now.

At one time the cost for this software was quite substantial, developers know what people need and they know when they can get away with charging top bucks for it.

I have managed to resource a link for us to have this software for free ! Free is the Traffic Masters Favorite word! : )


This software does in fact have an upgrade feature to do them all for you but I do not suggest to do this. You will be able to fill in the info more accurately and more effectively if you go through each link one by one.

The software is simply called Directory Submitter, and it’s made by the same guy who did SEO Elite, so you know it’s quality stuff.

From this day forward for the rest of your life Directory Submitter should be the first step of your marketing regimen for every website and/or blog your ever bring forth into existence.

RePost: Groups Marketing

My views on Groups Marketing ie. Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, MSN Groups.

I have been using groups as part of my own promotional campaigns since the very beginning of my on-line marketing career three years ago. I had stopped once just because of how time consuming they can be and I really did notice a difference in my stats so I resumed using them.

Although Groups will bring you great reliable traffic be careful with these.

Only post in related Groups and do not spam any board. You do not want to work so hard to build up your promotion only to have it shut down due to spam reports. Companies have very strict policies on spam and will not hesitate to shut down an affiliate Url that is getting spam reports. Before joining a new group I spend some time looking over the group to see what type of posts are currently being posted. I carefully read over the description of the groups and check out the 'about this group' link to be sure these groups are free for everyone to post and what the restrictions are, if any.

I personally promote to more than 600 affiliate advertising safe groups about 4 or 5 times a week. I do receive traffic to my websites from these posts but what these groups do best is to help create 'backlinks'. Backlinks are simply links from other place directed to your website. What do back links do exactly? They improve your search engine ranking this is also known as Search Engine Optimization SEO. These links also get individually spidered by the search engines and your ad will show up when and if someone is doing research on a company or just looking for info in general.

Hint: Play around with popular keyword search items. The words scam, review, success, fraud, new, lucrative, profitable are highly searched words. I suggest you try to work this into the information of your ads. People are online looking to see if thier program they are signing up for is legit. So they might type something like..."Is E4L.biz a scam?"as their search criteria. You are covered. If you question if this actually works. Google E4L.biz into your web browser now and you will see how many of my adverts are on the first 5 pages. If you google E4L.biz and Scam you will see I have many of the listing on the first page titled "E4L.biz 100% scam free" , my group postings being in the number 2 position. There are 60000 members in this company!

Hint 2: Word your ad into an article. This is an example of a Subject heading that will get indexed and searched, "Are MLM on-line companies legit or Just Scam Pyramid Schemes". In fact if you type that into your browser you will see my ads! In the end I write about how to distinguish between a legit business and a scam and give an example...the example of course is the company I promote.

Of course I have been intrigued by Group Submitters for quite some time now as you can imagine posting to groups can be very time consuming especially when you are mass posting which is most effective.

I have payed for and tried a couple that have produced very poor results. I don't believe in using trackers with Groups because of the SEO value that groups hold but I did send out a few days worth of posting to these submitters just to test the results. My results? A big zero! I did searches fr my tracking URL which should show up in the search engines within a week. Nothing. My obvious conclusion? They weren't working.

In fact the only positive review I have found on any Group Mailer was from a company called GroupMailers. Apparantly this company sends out ads from their server but you have to join each group and post with your user name. Somehow this makes sense to me. The cost of Groups Mailer is $15 every month.

Hello? This is Spam Calling... is There Anybody Home?

Yes! Yes! I am here.

Of course we all know that 95% of spam isn't really spam as we somehow somewhere inadvertently signed up for something, gave our e-mail address to get that fabulous free thing, or wanted to get inside information only available if we gave our precious personal info and now we are part of the list. The secret is in the list and as hard as we try to collect we find ourselves at weak moments being the ones who are collected.

Well you know what? It's okay.

There is a way we can use this so called not-spam spam to our advantage. Think about these messages this way. A salesperson comes to your door selling "Fuller Brushes" but he does not realize that he has knocked on the door of the "Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner" salesperson and he will soon be leaving with a vacuum in tow. Perhaps now he will be selling, along with his excellent brushes, excellent vacuum cleaners.

Yes. These non-spam spam messages are basically like people knocking on your door wanting to buy from you. They are already marketing. They are our target audience! They know the language and they are working the biz. If you have a great promotion that makes money they 'want' to know about it. Bottom line is ...we are all here to make money.

Here is an example of a recent return of a marketing mailer. (I have excluded e-mail addresses and personal info for privacy sake)


Hi There!

I will take some time to look over your solo ad service. Mainly I am into my own list collecting but you never know.

So the next time you see these so called 'spam' messages be sure to take a look at the e-mail address sending it. Is this a real user, a mass mailer or phishing site? If it is a real user re-package that spam add your promotion and send it right back! Be sure to add their e-mail address to your mailing list as well. Keep the original message with the IP and timestamp as proof of your future non-spam. I generally create a folder labeled 'mailing list' to direct these to just in case of future accusation.

Tell them how much you love their brushes and you will definitely consider them but in the meantime be sure they leave with a brochure on vacuum cleaners.

Oh yes and even if you have all this info in order to be 100% non spam accusable you must comply to the CAN-SPAM act...http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.shtm

I am not condoning spam. Sending unsolicited e-mail without permission is a federal offence.

I am condoning list building. Which is gathering a list of people with their permission to share in your marketing experiences, newsletters and endeavors.

Always be sure to add all the proper info to our mailers and always give an opt-out resource and comply to it! The secret is in the list! So guys go forth and build....and when that e-mail comes knocking at your door welcome it with open arms full of what you have to offer!

P.S. - I just wanted to let you know...

Today I am going to let you in on a Traffic Master little secret.

You will get more traffic from your P.S. line that you will from your main advertisment.

When sending out to your lists be sure to add a P.S. at the end of your advert. In fact your advert does not have to be an advert at all in fact it could just be a tip or some advice. I have tested this over and over with an ad tracking system and my P.S. lines always get about 400% more click-throughs than my main ads.

In fact why not add two or three P.S. lines? Don't forget you can put P.S. lines on the end of classifieds, group and forum posts as well.

Patting myself on the back!

Okay I did it once again. I got my affiliate promotion ranked above the actual site promotion in Google. I love it when this happens.

One of my affiliate endeavors is a YouTube popularity software called "the Tubeinator".

Type "the tubeinator" into Google search engine. My squidoo page is ranked #2 position while the Tubeinator site remains at number #3!

Adam Beazley has the number one position...with his Traffic Blog entry. Have I mentioned anything before about blogging and and creating a Traffic Blog? : )

I am not sure how long this will last but I have been doing some experimenting with Squidoo lenses (lenses are what they call their pages) as I see them all over Google.

Well I have come to the obvious conclusion that Squidoo works! This lense has been up on squidoo for less than a week. Look forward to my next Web 2.0 blog article on "How to Squidoo". Another Traffic Master Web 2.0 solution for getting traffic, ranking and making money all at the same time!
