Joseph’s Internet Marketing Tips

So now you know what to do when using Yahoo Answers, what are some of the things you should not do?

First and foremost make sure that your weblink is related DIRECTLY to the question.
I mean really, don´t you get frustrated when you click on a link and the site has nothing to do with what you are searching for?

A good example of this is quoted by Tracey Edwards of http://www.answerstraffic.com: If someone ask you a question about exercise that does not mean that you can send them to your diet pills website.

They are both a part of the losing weight niche but they are not related.
You don´t want to be labeled a spammer.

Next make sure that your answers are unique to the questions ask. Don´t give out a carbon copy answer to every question related to your subject.

Give detailed answers. Naturally you want to drive people to your link, but if you just add a link saying for more info “click here”, people will see it as a sales ploy. In fact the more you make prospects click around, the more likely they are to get frustrated and look somewhere else.

So how do you get started using Yahoo Answers to drive traffic?

First of all, if you don´t already have one, sign up for an account with Yahoo Answers.

Next search the questions for open ones related to your niche.  The questions are generally open for four days.

Then go to the advanced search page for Yahoo Answers and put your keyword in the keyword box.

In “search for keyword match in” choose “questions”.

Under “category”, select “all”.

In “question status” choose “open questions – best answer has not been chosen”.

Then under “date submitted” choose “any-time”.

In the “% thumbs up rating” select “all evaluations”.

When you get your results, pick out about 10 questions you would like to answer but put your link in only two of them.  By doing this, you will prevent Yahoo from thinking that you are a spammer.  So only add your link to the questions that you gave the best answer to.

Also, answer questions in a few different categories.  This way it comes across as more natural as apposed to answering questions in only one category.

You will get the most traffic from questions that you give the best answer to because, your response will appear at the top of the page.  Since people have a tendency to only read the first reply, you will be in the best position to receive traffic.

That´s it for Getting Started Using Yahoo Answers To Drive Traffic.  I hope you find it helpful.

My next post will be explaining what not to do when using Yahoo Answers.  Be sure not to miss it!

Hi Everybody,

I ran into an interesting article on how to generate traffic using Yahoo Answers.

Let´s face it, without traffic you could be selling water in the desert and you would not make a sale.

Most people concentrate on using Google Adwords pay-per-click to get traffic.  Naturally, Google is the largest search engine out there and you can get fast response by paying for ads.

However, if you are ignoring Yahoo, you could be leaving money on the table.

Lots of it!

You see, Yahoo Answers gets around a billion visitors looking for answers to their questions. 

Highly motivated targeted visitors.

How much traffic you can get depends on your niche and how many  questions you answers you provide.  But you can expect 20 to 30 visitors/month for every answer you give.

So let´s say you are trying to get around 100 visitors/day to your site.  You would need to link into about 100 answers.

Sound like a lot?

Not at all!

That´s only 10 to 20 questions per day.  In a month´s time you will have about 100 answers.

Imagine that, in 30 days you could have an extra 3000 targeted visitors to your site!

Popular questions tend to generate the most traffic.  Less popular questions generate less traffic.  It´s that simple.

The main thing is, you will see an increase in your traffic!

So tomorrow I will be giving you more details to get started generating traffic using Yahoo Traffic.  So stay tuned!

Well ladies and gentlemen, this is the last installment of 5 profitable steps to blogging.  Hopefully you have found it somewhat helpful in your endeavors as an internet marketer thus far.

So the last step is:

Write a product review to create more content for your blog.

In writing a review there are 4 points to consider.

1.) Talk about your personal experience with the product. 

*If you haven´t used it yourself you can´t very well review it.

2.) List the good points about the product.  You can also get other peoples opinions by using Google.  Just search for the “name of the product + review”

3.) Don´t forget to share the negative aspects of the product.  You want to be honest and even the best product in the world is not perfect.

4.) Call-to-Action.  Tell your reader to click on the link that leads them to your sales page.  Then let your sales page do the selling for you.

Bonus* Cloak you affiliate link.  There is no bigger turn off to your reader than when they look at your url address and see your affiliate ID.  They know immediately that you are trying to sell them something.

Two free cloaking/shrinking services are:

Now you probably already have some affiliate products to sell.  But if you don´t I will have a few listed on my side panel for you to check out, along with some Cost-Per-Action programs.

That´s it for 5 profitable steps to blogging.  Again, I hope it has been helpful to you.

How To Get Traffic With Article Marketing!

Why should you use article marketing?

IT´S FREE

Doesn´t require a lot of time.

Builds content for the search engines.

Generates free traffic to your site.

And did I say IT`S FREE!

Now some of you don´t like to write and that´s okay.  You can hire writers at http://www.getafreelancer.com.  Cost a little money, but hey you are free to work other parts of your business.

So first thing you need to do is register with http://www.ezinearticles.com  And submit your articles to them first.  They are the number one article directory and they have the best page rank of all the directories out there.

Once your article is approved you can always go back and submit that article to other article directories and create a backlink.

Now there are tons of other directories out there and I won´t waste your time here.  If you are interested in others I will have some posted in my resource box on my page.

Now you must write at least a 250 word article.  Up to 400 words is optimal.  Keep it short and to the point but with all the relevant information necessary to keep your readers interested.

Last but not least, fill out your resource box provided at the end of your article.  In here you should just write something like” for more tips, click here”.  And follow that with your blog url.

That´s it for 5 profitable steps to blogging part 4.
