Getting traffic to your website is definitely an important step toward increasing your internet sales potential, but it is just that - a step in the process.

It is your website itself that can make or break the sale once the traffic is there.
You’ve gone through the trouble of signing up with the right affiliate programs, added the right code to your website and even added some relevant content. Once you’ve done that, you’re finished right? No. [Click Here to Read More →]

All traditional traffic building methods aside, there are times when you need to get the word out and bring a larger number of website visitors to your site as quickly as possible. I have recently rediscovered a tool that has been around for a while but hasn’t been used by legitimate Internet marketers to its fullest potential - at least not by my estimation.

I recently had a conversation with a friend who has been in Internet marketing for just over five years. He had retired after two decades in a successful psychology practice, making the surprising leap into marketing on the Internet all because he had an idea.

That chat with Eric (not his real name) made me think about my marketing practices in a completely new way - especially after I saw proof of how successful his ideas had been for his endeavors. Under the agreement that I would not share his name, he has agreed to allow me to share this information with the readers here at IM Rookie.

As I wrote last week, duplicate content can often spell disaster for your web presense. Even people who are very careful about the information they publish can fall prey to this death knell, largely because they just don’t know. Unfortunately, the Internet - more specifically search engines - aren’t all that forgiving when it comes to duplicate content errors and they have no sympathy for the ‘it isn’t my fault’ argument either.

So the question then becomes - how do I know if I have duplicate content, and how do I eradicate it?

A few weeks ago I came across an ingenious tool that can not only help you to eradicate duplicate content from your life for good, it can also help you to perfect your SEO efforts at the same time. What’s even better is that you can do all of this without spending a penny. That’s right kids, this is absolutely free.

Have I got your attention yet?

Web 2.0 is nothing new. Yet, I’m surprised of how many people I talk to still have never heard of this new “Semantic Web”, or commonly known as Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 is currently known for its user-friendly applications, features and services. These apps and features are utilized by users to form online relationships, user interaction and socialization (ala Social Media).

In the old western days it was easy to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys - the bad guys always wore a black hat.

In today’s high tech world, there is slang term for the unscrupulous hackers who are always seeking ways to sneak past security, crash computer networks with viruses and yes, even slip into the top of search engine rankings. They are called “The Black Hatters”.

While these black hatters do often see results from their actions, their sneaky and underhanded ways most often end up with their web sites being banned entirely. For this reason I want to share with you the top three ways that the online black hatters use to achieve their results. [Click Here to Read More →]
