How does Google make money?

Google "gives away" a great search engine, among other features. That's great. But how do they pay for it? What is Google's business model?

In a nutshell: advertising revenue. Both on Google's site and on other sites.

Google is a major player in the online advertising industry. Every time you search Google, you'll see ads displayed along with your results. Those ads are never "mixed in" with the results - there is no "pay to play" on Google... which is one of the reasons Google became the most popular search engine in the first place. But the sponsored text-link ads above and to the right of the results generate a great deal of money for Google. These ads are known as "Google Adwords." Those who wish to advertise via Google can learn more on Google's Adwords page.

In addition, you may have noticed columns or boxes containing similar text-link ads on other websites - such as this one - which say "Ads by Google" at the top. Google already had a powerful system for selling and displaying ads in association with their own search engine. From there, it wasn't much of a jump to start displaying ads on other websites. Webmasters of popular sites with interesting content can sign up on Google's Adsense page and begin displaying Google ads to their users. Google pays the webmaster a portion of the advertising revenue and keeps the rest. This service is called "Google Adsense."

Think Like an Online Marketer

1. Change The Way You Think

I guess many of you already heard of or read the famous "THINK &
Grow Rich" book by Napoleon Hill.

Why "THINK" and grow rich?

Because what keeps most marketers dead broke is the WAY THEY THINK.
If you don't change the way you think, you won't change your
situation.

If you think low, you will stay low.

You need to believe in yourself, and set "impossible" goals that
push you totally out of your comfort zone as it forces you to think
at a different level.

When you do this, you won't be so surprised when you actually get
what you want, because you already know that you can do it!

2. Be Focused

Don't try to build lots of adsense sites, ebooks, software,
membership sites...all at once!

The only way to get things accomplished and be successful in life
is to FOCUS on one area, one niche and one system before moving
onto the next "opportunity".

In order to do that, you MUST pick one and only ONE avenue to build
your business online.

Ask yourself every time you want to buy a new product, or start a
new project "Does this move me closer to what I want, or away from
it?"

Then you will make the right decision.

3. Value, Value, Value!

This is something critical that without it your business won't
succeed - delivering value.

Make sure to provide value to people, no matter you are publishing
content on your sites, selling a product or providing services.

Always think about how you can help people, not how to charge
people money.

If people get the value they want, they will help you in all means
and give you the money you want.

When you actually provide value to people, you end up making more
money than you expected.

Remember what Zig Ziglar said, "You can get anything you want if
you help enough people get what they want."


4. Know Your Numbers and Improve Them

Did you know that small changes can produce massive results?

Okay, let's start with some numbers.

Suppose you have 100 visitors a day to your squeeze page, 30%
opt-in and see your offer, 1% of them take your offer, 50% of the
opt-ins confirm their email address and get into your list.

If you are selling a $27 product with the offer, so you will finish
the year with $2956.5 in profit and 5475 subscribers.

Theses are common numbers and a lot of people are happy with them.

That's fine, but what if you can greatly improve your results with
same efforts?

Let's say you increase your visitors by 30%, and you get 50% to
subscribe, 60% to confirm. You get 2% of opt-ins to buy for the
same $27 product. Each step of the improvement is not hard to get,
for most people.

So what's your results for a year with your new numbers?

It nets you $12,811.5 and 14,235 subscribers!

A 430% increasement with your profits! (and we didn't mention the
extra 8760 subscribers)

I will show you how to achieve this in my following mailings.

And if you don't know your numbers, there are no ways to improve.

5. Take Action!

I hope you enjoy this post of my blog. But like any other post, it will do nothing for you if you just let it sitting at your computer collecting digital dust.

To your amazing success!

SEO: How to use it?

Getting a website rank to be proud of and that can bring in a lot of website traffic will be hard if you do not have good website content that is fresh, updated and regularly posted.

It is all fine and good owning a website and hoping that you get some visits to it through links that you have left on forums, blogs, social networking websites, etc; but in fact it is information that people are looking for.

Information is the KEY to the Internet and that is why search engines work based on queries that the visitors search for everday.

In order to achieve better rankings you are required to write and post unique and informational content on your website.

This will allow you to keep your websites visitors busy reading the information that is on the website and then intrigues them to stay about a little longer in order to see what else your website has to offer.

Related content about your website and its subjects is the best place to start if you are looking for increasing your website ranking and traffic.

Take a look using the search engines to see what content comes up when you do a search for your keywords or phrases that you would like to rank better for and then adapt (DO NOT STEAL) some of these ideas and write content based around them that includes the chosen keyword or phrase within the actual article or informational document.

Please make sure that you do not just spam the keyword or phrase in though. This needs to be done so that the content that you are writing is human readable, makes sense and that it is still just as interesting as it should be without all the keywords within it.

I believe that a keyword to content ratio should apply and should be between 2% and 5% keyword ratio.

This means that a maximum 5% of keywords should be used within the content and it is advised that you have a few of these keywords towards the top of the article or information piece of content becasue the search engines will pick those up easier.

Also, with this content do not just throw your website link in at every chance you get. The best place to have a link would be in some kind of resource box where you can explain more about the inspiration behind the article.
