Website Promotion Software Review

If you are offered the 'new' website promotion program, 'Instant Booster', please leave it alone. It is simply a rebranded set of free FFA submitters that was around two or three years ago. There is a money back guarantee but you can save yourself the effort and hassle of ordering and asking for a refund. The headline reads: 'Can you afford to loose (lose) 300,000 potential customers per year?' Yes, you can, if they are not looking for your product! The program will just create tons of links to FFA farms. Your site ranking can suffer if you are associated with rubbish links - do not bother.

Instead, follow the tried and tested techniques - solid Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). It is not as complicated as you may think. Keep reading for tips, and sign up for my regular updates. When I find paid software that works, don't worry - I will rave about it here!

Part 2 - Our Internet Business

So after coffee we came back to the seminar and started to hear how to identify a niche market. What problems are people asking about in online groups and chat rooms? Are they getting the answers they want? Track supply and demand – how many asking on search engines and Overture, and what sites show up in response? Are they supplying a solution to the problem? Use Wordtracker for this to show the words people are typing, and how many webistes are competing.
By now John is a believer! This seminar is full of meaty information, and we were scribbling away like mad. Our brains were like sponges, soaking up knowledge. I can see how our plug-in profits site can succeed. Lunch was good, as we were so energised and this was the only time we wanted to leave the seminar. Back on time, though, as there is a prize draw at the start of the afternoon.
