<h2>The first one is by Martin Crumlish.</h2>
<p>Martin has been doing a lot with offline businesses and has been busy developing products and service to make things easier for those of  us making money online.</p>
<p>The thing I like most about Martin's products is he always provides videos to show you how to work with his products. That doesn't mean they are complicated - quite the contrary. He makes this very easy but the videos are a nice touch because he assumes everyone is a newbie.</p>
<p><strong>Anyway, his product today is a limited time offer (limited on the price - it will go up in 24 hrs so grab it now)</strong></p>
<p>It's called <strong><a href="http://songstershops.com/rd/RewardButtonDev" target="_blank">Reward Button</a></strong> and its designed to increase your list without asking people to give you their email address. How many times have you looked at an offer and thought - here we go again, I'm giving my email address out! <a href="http://songstershops.com/rd/RewardButtonDev" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-468" style="margin: 5px;" title="rewardbuttonlogo" src="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/rewardbuttonlogo.png" alt="" width="191" height="79" /></a></p>
<p>I'm sure I'm not the first person to think like that. I know as a marketer my systems get cluttered on a regular basis with people signing up with bogus emails just to get the free offer.</p>
<p>Now you don't have to worry.</p>
<p>This plugin allows your visitors to get your free item and NOT have to enter their email address to do it.</p>
<p><strong>Go check it out...</strong></p>
<p>Martin has a video that explains everything. But don't wait too long as the price is going up in 24 hrs (NO it's not a scare tactic)</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://songstershops.com/rd/RewardButtonDev" target="_blank">Get the developers license</a></strong> - its the best deal.</p>
<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<h2>The other hot deal today is Spencer's Simple Profit System</h2>
<p>Its a complete system for one very very low low price.<br />
You get very detailed instructions of how to do it and who to speak to.</p>
<p>How to talk to your client and how to do it if you don't want to talk to the client.<br />
No stone has been left unturned.</p>
<p>All designed so you can<strong><a href="http://songstershops.com/rd/197" target="_blank"> earn these $197 checks</a> </strong>over and over.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://songstershops.com/rd/197" target="_blank">Have a look...</a></strong><br />
<strong>The price is too low to pass up</strong></p>
<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<h2>One last thing I want to tell you about today is Thumboo</h2>
<p>It's a free service that allows you to make thumb nail images (and larger <a href="http://www.thumboo.com/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-469" style="margin: 5px;" title="thumboo" src="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/thumboo.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="199" /></a>ones too) of any website</p>
<p>All you do is enter the url of the website into the form and press "Go" and the system generates a thumbnail image as well as options of 150 x 100, 200 x 150, 300 x 250 and full size.</p>
<p><strong>You can have them host the image and you link to it or down load the image for you own uses.</strong></p>
<p>It also has a cool little feature at the bottom of the page that automatically generates keywords scrapped from the site you are generating the image for.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thumboo.com/" target="_blank">This is one tool that should be in your bookmarks!</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Hope you find these products and services useful. I use them and so I can recommend them!</strong></p>
<p>Enjoy the rest of your weekend.</p>

<p><strong>Facebook is now the largest social media network on the web.</strong> Facebook has now exceeded half a billion users.</p>
<p>Website magazine recently put it into perspective by comparing them to the largest retailer in the world -  Walmart.</p>
<p>Walmart has roughly 20 million people visiting their stores on a daily basis, whereas  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">250 million people visit Facebook on a daily basis</span>. That's a staggering number of people!</p>
<p>Unlike Walmart, the people on Facebook spend time hang out, sharing stories, pictures, etc and "recommending" products and services to their friends. Its not a traditional retail environment. Its something more powerful.</p>
<p><strong>Public opinion can make or break a product or service.</strong> Amazon and other large online retailers have demonstrated the power of product reviews. Good reviews can help increase sales whereas poor reviews can crush a product. The review process on a retail site such as Amazon means the consumer buys the product first then posts the review.</p>
<p>In a social network environment such as Facebook,  the "review" process  is more subtle but just as powerful.</p>
<p>Facebook members talk about anything and everything. The little <a href="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/likebutton.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-288" style="margin: -4px 2px;" title="likebutton" src="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/likebutton.png" alt="" width="60" height="26" /></a>like button at the top of a page is very powerful. We vote for things in our everyday lives and the like button is just that - its a vote for something. <strong>Its a positive "review" without the use of words.</strong></p>
<h3>What does this mean for you?</h3>
<p>Well, if you are promoting a product creating a Fan Page is an absolute necessity. Unlike a personal Facebook page a Fan Page can be seen by everyone. You don't have to be "friends" with it to view the material.</p>
<h3>Have a look at the Fan Page I just created yesterday.</h3>
<p><a href="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/fanpage-screenshot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-289" title="fanpage-screenshot" src="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/fanpage-screenshot-1024x622.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="376" /></a></p>
<p>It features a script that encourages the visitor to click the like button before continuing on and getting their free charm. Want to check out the page live? <strong><a href=" http://www.facebook.com/pages/SongsterCharms/123649307705332" target="_blank">Go to Songster Charms Fan Page</a></strong></p>
<p>What's more powerful then that little like button? I don't know. All I know is that I have the potential to have 500 million + people click that little <a href="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/likebutton.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-288" style="margin: -4px 2px;" title="likebutton" src="http://themarketingeducator.com/wp-content/uploads/likebutton.png" alt="" width="60" height="26" /></a> button on my Fan Page.</p>
<p>You don't need a store to promote to create a Facebook Fan Page. You  could be advertising your blog, a single product, promoting your brand,  an affiliate offer. Anything where you want a large number of  interactive people.</p>
<h3>How You Can Create a Fan Page</h3>
<p>If you are like me, you get promo after promo trying to  sell you the latest and greatest "how to" materials.  The Facebook material is no different.</p>

<p>This is a very important step. The first keywords that you think of might not be the best keywords that lead to the most sales.</p>
<blockquote><p>A number 1 listing on Google can be totally pointless if it is for the wrong keywords.</p></blockquote>
<p>If the wrong people or too few people search for that keyword then your SEO efforts will be in vain. The keywords that you choose are the most important factor that decides whether you succeed or not. Unlike a brick and mortar store, just because you build a site doesn't mean people are going to find it.</p>
<p>If you target the wrong keywords, you'll waste a lot of time, energy and money especially if you are doing any PPC.</p>
<p><strong>BE CAREFUL</strong>: Think twice before you start.</p>
<h2>Keyword Selection Is Very Important</h2>
<p>Many webmasters think that they already know the best keyword for their websites. If they haven't done some research, they are usually wrong. There are several reasons for that:</p>
<p><span id="more-225"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TERMINOLOGY</strong> -You know your business much better than anybody else. You know the special terms that are used in your branch and you know what you should search for when you're looking for products like yours. Knowing your product so well means you know all the "correct" words to find it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>MISSING COMMON WORDS</strong> - 	Your customers don't know as much as you. They don't know your terminology and they might use totally different keywords. For example, a recent study found out that many people search for the keyword "nose job". If you optimize your web page for the keyword "rhinoplasty" then these web surfers won't find your site. Put yourself in the searchers shoes. What words or phrases would they use to find your product?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>MISSING THE BUYERS </strong>- Did you consider the intention of the searcher? Just because a keyword is used very often on search engines it doesn't mean that you'll get many customers. People who find your website through a special keyword might not be interested in purchasing.</li>
</ul>
<p>It's very important that you take some time to find the best keywords for your website. The time and efforts that you invest in finding the right keywords will pay back in no time.</p>
<h2>Looking Deeper Into Searches</h2>
<p>When web surfers want to purchase something online, they go through three research phases. Web surfers usually start with general keywords.</p>
<p>After becoming more educated about a particular product or service, they  will use more specific keywords. As soon as the web surfers know what they want, they use specific keywords.</p>
<h3>Keywords for browsing</h3>
<p>During the first research phase, web surfers use general keywords to find information. For example, a web surfer might be interested in an MP3 player. The keyword that the web surfer might use in search engines could be:</p>
<p><strong><em>mp3 player</em></strong></p>
<p>People who use keywords for browsing are usually looking for information only. Keywords for browsing usually have a very high search volume. Getting a top 10 ranking for these general keywords is very difficult and nearly impossible.</p>
<blockquote><p>It is unlikely that a web surfer who uses such a generic keyword will buy something.</p></blockquote>
<h3>Keywords for comparing</h3>
<p>In the second research phase, web surfers narrow their selection because they now know what type of product they want. For example, the web surfer might have found out the he is interested in an USB stick MP3 player with 1 GB flash RAM. The keywords of these web surfers are more specific:</p>
<p><em><strong>mp3 player 8 GB</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>mp3 player usb stick</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>mp player under $100</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>trekstor mp3 player</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>samsung mp3 player</strong></em></p>
<p>People who use keywords for comparing are more ready to buy. Comparing keywords are probably the best keywords that you can target for your search engine optimization campaign.</p>
<blockquote><p>They often have much lower search volume than general keywords but they will lead to more sales and it is much easier to get top 10 rankings for these keywords.</p></blockquote>
<h3>Keywords for buying</h3>
<p>During the last research phase, web surfers know what they want to purchase. They are just looking for the website with the best offer. For that reason, these surfers use very specific keywords:</p>
<p><em><strong>TrekStor i.Beat move 8 GB Video MP3 Player</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>TrekStor i.Beat move 8 GB  free shipping</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>SanDisk Sansa Clip 1 GB</strong></em></p>
<p>People who use keywords for buying are ready to buy. However, these keywords won't help you much if you offer competing products.</p>
<h2>The best keywords for search engine optimization</h2>
<p>Keywords for comparing are usually the keywords that work best for search engine optimization. People who use that keyword type are looking for a solution to their problem and they are ready to buy.</p>
<p>To get best results with your search engine optimization efforts, you should concentrate on that keyword type.</p>
<p><strong>1. Do not use single word keywords</strong></p>
<p>Single words cannot be promoted effectively. For example, it is not likely that someone looking for "free accounting software download" is going to type just "software" into the search box.</p>
<p>Avoid the most popular keyword phrases because you'll be competing with millions of other pages for a search engine's attention. It is unrealistic to think that a new website could rank number one on a popular phrase like "mp3". More established companies who have been on the Internet for several years will have the big advantage of a high link popularity.</p>
<blockquote><p>People who whose multiple word keywords are in the compare or buying phase. They are more likely to purchase goods or services than those using fewer words (source: Oneupweb Research).</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>2. Multiple word keywords make your website more relevant</strong></p>
<p>Search engines analyze all pages of your website and put them in a context. Start with multiple word keywords and then extend your keyword list. If you're selling MP3 files, you should optimize your web pages for keywords such as "independent bands mp3", "alternative grunge mp3", "80s pop music mp3 download" and similar keywords first.</p>
<p>If your website has many rankings for these keywords, search engines will find out that your website is relevant to the mp3 topic. As soon as search engines consider your website relevant to this topic, it will be much easier to get high rankings for keywords such as "mp3 download" or even "mp3".</p>
<h2>What can happen if you don't do this correctly?</h2>
<p>If you target the wrong keywords, you will lose a lot of time and you will lose a lot of sales.</p>
<p>You will invest a lot of time in optimizing your web pages for keywords for which your website cannot get high rankings at this time. Or you will invest a lot of time in optimizing your web pages for keywords that don't convert to sales. In both cases, you won't get much sales.</p>
<p>It is very important that you choose the right keywords that lead to high search engine rankings and sales. Make sure that you choose the correct keyword type.</p>
