What Do You Want
Hi Everybody

I have recently launched my website www.wanted-online and is for anyone who wants something, so you place your ad and wait for the seller to come to you. We are incredibly cheap compared to other similar sites, with no hidden extras and also compared to other similar sites are very,very straightforward to use. If my blurb doesn`t entice you to have a look then so be it but I can`t believe there isn`t something you want! You can email me at paul@wanted-online.com for some free advertising. Others promise FREE advertising we deliver so go to
www.wanted-online.com

Having got tired of time after time looking for something without success my wife(its always the women who have these good ideas isnt it) decided there was a niche in the market to help people find what they want and so we launched wanted-online.com where people place their wanted ads and let the sellers come to them.

A Simple Secret To Seducing The Search Engines   By Jason Potash

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

In the Internet Marketing community, `traffic` and search
engine mastery are hot topics these days…

People will do almost ANYTHING just to get their site
indexed by Google faster… to boost their Page Rank
quicker… to drive more traffic immediately… and to get
a ton of incoming links to their website right away…

Yes, even if it involves handing over $137 for the latest
push-button traffic software or search engine trick.

Why all the fuss?

In this article, I`m going to reveal to you a simple, no
cost way to make the search engines crawl all over your
website like ants on a melted popsicle.

PLUS… you will start to get laser-targeted traffic and
boost your search engine rankings almost instantly. Not to
mention, you`ll have (at least) 100 quality links back to
your website within a week.

And this doesn`t involve any SEO hocus-pocus, buying into
some new `killer` traffic booster software, or trying out
the latest scheme to fool Google, Yahoo, or MSN.

Nope. This stuff is 100% legit, above-board, and has
already worked for years.

Let me give you a quick example. Recently I created a
little `test` website.

The search engines didn`t know about it. It had no
incoming links. No traffic. No SE rankings…ZIP!

Fast forward 7 days… My website was indexed by Google,
Yahoo and MSN, it got well over 200 incoming links and
started to generate traffic… shortly thereafter, Google
granted my site a Page Rank 3.

Again, this did not cost a penny, just a few hours of
my time. I created a play-by-play video that shows the
website and how I did it (see the weblink below).

Here`s another example: An `average guy` decided to try
this same strategy. He now has #1-#8 rankings on all
the major search engines. You can listen to him explain
how de did it during a recent audio interview:

http://wetrack.it/eza/af.cgi?aid=1583&ent=28

(Note: After you click above, look under the `June 20th`
post and click the MP3 audio button and video button on
the site)

So, how can you get these same kind of results?

I wish I could make this sound more complicated but, all
that you need to do is simply submit one article to a
handful of Article Directories.

Writing and submitting articles has long been a proven,
time-tested strategy for increasing traffic, subscribers
and sales.

But now in 2005, articles have re-emerged in a BIG way,
thanks to recent information leaked by Google within their
US Patent Application 20050071741.

We now know that quality content and incoming links are
essential (now, more than ever) to the survival of your
websites within the search engines.

Bottom line. You need to start creating and submitting
articles to get all the benefits I just outlined above.

In fact, Google is practically telling you to do so!

But, where do you start? Where should you submit your
articles?

Here`s a blueprint that outlines the 7 keys to writing
successful articles.

Follow these 7 keys and you are guaranteed to get more
traffic, more incoming links and higher search engine
rankings and page rank, by simply distributing your
articles across the Internet.

Let`s get started.

Key #1: Choose a HOT Topic

You`ll need to do a little research on this one. If you
are already familiar with the target market for your
article, this should come easy. Research, spy, observe. Do
whatever it takes to understand your target market. What
issues are hot? What topics currently appear within top
ezines, messageboards, ebooks? What keywords are they
using to search online?

It`s also a good idea to frequently visit article
directories and content sites. These sites contain current
articles on a variety of popular topics. Often, you can
view the most popular article topics (or clicks) as well.

Here`s a short list of article directories:

http://www.ezinearticles.com
http://www.certificate.net/wwio
http://www.ideamarketers.com
http://www.goarticles.com
http://www.netterweb.com
http://www.jogena.com

Key #2: Choose a `Magnetic` Title

Magnetic title? That`s right. Your article title is your
headline. If it doesn`t pull the reader into the article,
nothing will. Just think … what if I called this
article:

`Get More Traffic In The Search Engines`, `Easy Search
Engine Tips`, or `Free Traffic Generation Strategies`.

BLAH! See what I mean? These don`t pack much `punch`, do
they?

Your title is just like a classified ad. Look at it this
way. If your article title is crowded on a webpage with
100 others, what will make it jump off the page?

Key #3: Use The AIDA Principle

Attention Interest Desire Action

This universal formula applies to your articles as well.
Once you`ve enticed your reader to read your article (via
a great title), you need to keep them reading.

The first paragraph of your article is critical. If it`s
dull, boring and lifeless, your reader will surely bail
out. You must keep their interest right from the start.
Try using short paragraphs, sentences and words. This will
keep the tempo upbeat and make your article much easier to
read (or skim, as most do online).

Key #4: Create Several Sub-Headings

To better organize your thoughts, divide your article into
sub-headings. At times, writing a 500-700 word article can
seem insurmountable. Sub-headings make things easier.
Instead of tackling the entire article at once, try
writing one paragraph at a time.

Key #5: `Close The Sale` With A Resource Box

One of the worst things you can do is to leave your reader
hanging. They`ve just read your great article, now what? A
resource box appears at the very end of your article. It`s
the last line that your reader sees. It`s your chance to
set the next step.

Make sure that your resource box is compelling. Make the
reader jump over to your website, sign up for your ezine,
download your latest ebook, claim their free gift — get
creative!

Also, the resource box allows you to include a direct link
back to your website. Sit back and watch your link
popularity soar!

Key #6: Poofread Your Work

Did you catch that? It should have read, `Proofread`.
Nothing hollers out amateur, newbie, or just plain
unprofessional than an article filled with typos and bad
grammar. If you don`t have an English major in the family,
hire a proofreader. Their rates are reasonable and they
can save you from damaging your reputation online.

Key #7 – Promote, promote, promote

Let`s make one thing clear. Without key #7, keys 1-6 are a
waste of time. Bottom line, no one will read your article
if you keep it stored on a floppy disk in your desk.

You`ve got to promote it!

How can you promote your article? There are close to 90
article directories, article banks, free content sites,
article announcement lists, and article syndication
services out there. And the best part is … 95% of them
are FREE!

Plus, there are thousands of ezines, websites and blogs
that are looking for article submissions. Develop a list
of contacts in your target market. Next, e-mail each ezine
publisher, blog owner, or webmaster a copy of your latest
article. There are countless stories of individuals who
have succeeded using this exact same approach.

Wouldn`t you like to get your next article picked up by an
ezine with 32,000 subscribers or have 8,000 websites
visitors view your article tomorrow?

`no Sales? Your Web Traffic Is Not The Problem!`   By John Iacovakis

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

There are thousands of web sites getting thousands of visits to their websites every week without making a sale!

I can tell you the traffic is not the problem. Well maybe from some traffic providers out there. But, in most cases the web site itself is not able to convert web site visitors to customers.

A visitor most likely will not take the time to find out what you’re offering. Especially since he was not looking for your website and your site popped up (or under). You better give him a reason to not close your pop under!

Remember, you have only a few seconds to make people understand what you are offering before they close your web page.

Some tips for a successful advertisement:

- Start general, keep it short, and make your page fast loading.
- Use a lot of `white space` on your page.
- Make sure your company logo or name appears clearly in the ad. Sooner or later, your product or name will become known throughout the Internet.
- Do not list features but benefits.
- Have no more than 3-4 bullet points on your ad.
- Have only one specific offer.
- Does your ad look professional? If your page is poorly designed you will not succeed.
- Tell people what to do. Put a “click here” button on your ad. Believe it or not it makes a difference!
- Use a dark background. It contrasts most sites and grabs the attention of the visitor.
- Don`t send people directly to a sales page. Use proven marketing strategies like free offers, free reports etc, to generate a lead: Most people will not buy anything on their first exposure to it.

Your landing (or home) page should not be overwhelming and confusing for a new website visitor:

- If he has no idea why he is there or what to do next, he won`t take time to figure it out.
- Offer something of value for free.
- Do not list features but benefits.
-Your web site should grab the attention of your visitors. Use headlines, bullets, bright colours etc.
- Does your web page look professional? If your web page is poorly designed you will not succeed at turning visitors into customers or subscribers.
- Make your page fast loading.
- If I have no enticement to sign up or to order, I’ll just read some stuff for a few seconds and leave.
- Have only one specific offer at your landing page.

I have spent years running my own business and helping other businesses. It’s always the same little things that make the difference.

Most small businesses on the Internet do not succeed because they do not know much about running a business online.

Think about it. People go to school for years and companies have large marketing departments because marketing and advertising is not a simple task.

Basically you have to search a lot to find what is most likely to work for your web site. Once you get an understanding for each type of advertising then you can put it to work.

How To Tap Into The Google Adwords Ppc Goldmine ?   By Shrinivas Vaidya

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

Dear friends,

Google, the most populated search engine on the Internet, offers a great advertising tool called AdWords.

AdWords was launched in March 2002 with a purpose of providing highly targeted advertising solutions to marketers and over a few years it has shows remarkable growth as far as the popularity is concerned.

How does the entire system work?

There is a simple 5 step process to carry out.

1)Select the geographical location, where you want your ad to get displayed.

2)Write the ad with Title, 2 lines of description and the display and destination URL`s.

3)Select keywords that will trigger the ad .

4)Select the amount you wish to pay when and only when someone click on your ad.

5)Select the daily budget.

That`s it and your ad starts running immediately.

I have seen traffic coming in less than 15 minutes. Since your ads get triggered because of the keywords you select, the traffic you are getting is highly targeted.

I have been using AdWords for almost 8 months and has seen a conversion rate of as good as 13%. This is not because I have good copywriting skills, but because of the excellent keyword selection facilities inside the AdWords system.

The success on AdWords is largely dependent on keyword selection. Tools such as overture, Worfdtracker are a great help for marketers.

The best part about the AdWordds systems is that more the number of people click on your ad, the lesser you have to pay. This clearly means that any average person can safely compete with big corporate players, paying much less and getting much more targeted traffic at the same time.

But before doing so it is extremely important to learn how to handle various keyword options inside the AdWords system. Because of the excellent keywords analysis abilities it is possible to get good results in the highly competitive markets as well.

Here are some of the more wonderful features of the AdWords system.

[x]The ability to PAUSE/RESUME you ad at any time. If you think that you are overspending on you ad campaigns, you

can immediately pause the ad campaigns.

[X]The ability to select geographical destinations such as selected countries or even cities in selected countries

[x]Real time tracking of clicks, impressions, cost ..(3 hours delay)

[x]The ability to turn on/off the participation in the Google AdSense program. Since AdSense ads are nothing but ads by those who are running AdWords ads. [x]Ability to select daily budget to avoid overspending.

[x]A robust keyword analysis system.

[x]Since there is a limit for the number of characters in the ads, it is much more exciting to put all your copywriting skills to test.

[x]Ability to create a hierarchy for ad campaigns, such as various `ad groups` inside a single ad campaign.

The main reason why AdWords campaigns give best results is because of the speed and highly targeted audience. In the field of marketing it is extremely important to test the results as early as possible.

But the real question is how to get the most out of these wonderful features? Because of the speed with which AdWords gives results, it is a best tool to collect opt-in subscribers, in short `building your list`. Instead of selling directly to the audience it is wise to educate them more for pre-selling the product and then follow up by building a relationship first.

Now everyone is talking about `building your own list` and it`s true. But here I have a slightly different logic for sending the AdWords traffic to an opt-in page.

Let`s consider two situations.

Case 1>Tomorrow morning I come to your home and give away a pair of Nike shoes to you as a free gift.

Case 2>You go to a city mall and `buy` those same shoes by paying a price.

Now out of the two situations it is more likely that you will take good care of the shoes that you have purchased by paying money. Same is true with subscribers, when you pay to collect email addresses and names it is more likely that you will concentrate more toward building a rhythm with you prospects in order to get the ROI.

It`s like trapping yourself into a mousetrap. Since you have invested some money, you must work at it and is the best way to tap the `goldmine` on the Internet.

That`s it for now. Hope this information helps you and motivate you to give it a try.

3 Things Every Yellow Pages Advertiser Must Know   By Alan Saltz

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

Most business owners know that Yellow Pages advertising has an incredible amount of potential… but they don’t know how to take full advantage of it.

Fortunately, it`s a mystery that`s solved pretty easily once an advertiser knows where to turn for advice. There are fundamental truths about Yellow Pages advertising that so many businesses fail to recognize… but once they do, they find themselves `on top of` a medium with an incredible amount of business generating power.

It`s a medium, that handled correctly, will generate new business month after month like clockwork.

That said… let`s try to understand it a bit better, shall we?

1. Common Yellow Pages advertising mistakes are simple to fix.

Very simple.

You don`t have to be a graphic designer or marketing expert to drastically improve your ad either – you just need to know your customers.

You see, most Yellow Page ads make the very same mistakes… year after year… directory after directory… category after category.

Some of the ads I see from professional design firms are riddled with the same mistakes too… the ad only looks nicer.

That won`t cut it in the Yellow Pages.

While a professionally designed ad can certainly help grab attention, there is no substitute for ad content (read: words) if your goal is to generate a phone call. When it comes to Yellow Pages advertising, that`s all that really matters. (The Yellow Pages should have nothing to do with building your “image”.)

By learning what makes a good headline, good body copy, and how to develop a strong offer, your Yellow Pages ad will run circles around an ad that just `looks great,` but makes the same mistakes most others are making.

An example? Using your name and logo as the headline. It`s disastrous and yet more advertisers do it than not. No one cares what you call yourself until they`ve decided to pick up the phone and actually call you.

Think about it…

Someone turns to the Yellow Pages because they don’t have an optometrist in mind. They don’t know who to call. Rather, they’re looking to see what options are available, and what one company offers over another.

Your company name will never be a factor.

So if your name and logo is at the top of your ad… it it`s big and bold and takes up space… if it takes the place of an attention grabbing, hard-hitting headline… you`re wasting your ad’s most valuable “real estate.”

Of course, like most common mistakes, it`s a pretty easy to fix.

You just need to know what makes a good headline. A good headline is something that’s impossible to miss, and engaging enough to draw the reader into the rest of the ad.

Continuing with the optometrist example, look in your local Yellow Pages to see what headlines (if any) your competitors have chosen and imagine having one of the following at the top of your ad.

•3 Things You Need to Know Before You Call An Optometrist!

That’s attention grabbing, compelling, and nearly impossible to NOT read further.

•“I Was So Surprised by How Gentle and Pleasant
The Care Is At Optimal Optics. Everything is Explained
So I Feel 100% Comfortable With My Care.”

An honest testimonial from a satisfied client is FAR more credible than your ad saying “We’re Gentle” or anything of the sort. And again, your readers will be compelled to read more.

2. Most Yellow Page ads are developed by the directory publisher.

That`s right – the directory itself develops most of the ads you see. What happens if they design your ad and 4 of your competitors` ads? Can you expect your Yellow Page ad to receive more time and attention than another? Can you expect it to be any better, or stand out more?

When it comes to Yellow Pages advertising, those that know how to set themselves apart from the pack fare well. Differentiation is the name of the game. Good design might look professional, but it never stops a prospect in his tracks.

Good ad copy on the other hand, grabs attention like a magnet and doesn`t let it go.

Don`t just hand the reins to someone else and let them develop your ad for you. Learn what it takes to generate response and play a role in developing that winning ad for your business.

Because no one knows what makes your customers `tick` like you do.

3. Yellow Pages Advertising is different from just about EVERY other medium you use.

You might want to re-read that.

Yellow Pages advertising is different because people see your ad when they are ready to buy.

A newspaper ad? That`s a distraction. People are reading to get the news. TV spots? Again, commercials disrupt the intended activity.

The Yellow Pages is virtually the only place people turn to read ads!

And yet, almost every Yellow Pages ad I see takes the approach: `This is who I am and this is what I offer.` The ad content is little more than a company name and logo, and what I refer to as a “laundry list” of products or services offered.

Guess what? This is a huge mistake!

They know what you offer. They`re looking at your ad because their eye hurts and they know a professional should take a look at it. Focus on `why, with all of these options, they should choose you!`

Your prospects are a skeptical bunch. Make contacting you and giving your business “a shot,” a risk-free, value-filled, proposition for them. Tell them about the policies you hold yourself to that will make their lives easier. Tell them what you do (or how you do something) that your competitors do not – or – that they forget to mention in their ad.

Done correctly, this will give any business a tremendous edge over the competition. Care to learn a little more?

Does Your Advertising Make You The Obvious Choice To Do Business With?   By Brett Curry

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

There is a concept in business that we marketers call the confidence gap. The confidence gap is defined as a potential customers inability to determine whether the products or services of a given company are any better, different, or worse than the competition’s.

The confidence gap exists in every imaginable industry and in most cases the gap is growing wider all of the time.

Case in point: go to the yellow pages and look under the roofing section (or any section for that matter) and see for yourself if, plus or minus 10%, every ad says basically the same thing. “Dependability, service, 80 years of experience….blah, blah, blah.”

Going by the yellow pages alone it’s almost impossible to tell who will really offer the best service, the best overall value, and exactly what you need as a customer. It would be helpful if some ads said, “We stink, we won’t deliver on our promises, we’ll quote you one price and then charge you another,” but they don’t. Every company good or bad is essentially saying the same thing. As consumers we know that not all companies are equal – but how can we tell? Hence, the confidence gap.

But, this problem is not isolated to the yellow pages. Take any medium – TV, radio, print, or brochures and compare what competitive companies are doing. You’ll see very quickly that there is almost no significant differentiation. Oh, sure, one company may have a red ad and another a blue ad. One company may have a catchy jingle and the other may not, but it’s still hard to tell which company is actually better or even which company gives greater promise of being the best choice.

One area of marketing that is atrocious for most businesses is their brochure. Most brochures are loaded with clichés, worn out phrases, and platitudes that don’t mean anything. Like “dependability, quality, and service.” Any company on the planet could make a claim like that and you would still have no clue if there business was any good or not.

So what about your brochure? Does it make you the obvious choice to do business with, or does it just widen the confidence gap?

Here is a quick 4-pronged test to give your brochure (or your other advertising) to see if it has the potential of singling your company out as THE go-to company.

1.Does your brochure clearly communicate your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)? Most companies don’t have a clearly defined USP. Your USP is what makes you different, better, and unique from your competition. Here are a few famous examples: “When it absolutely positively HAS to be there overnight.” Of course your know that to be FedEx. The success of this Fortune 500 company was built largely on the strength of this USP that they could absolutely deliver overnight. Here’s another one – “Hot pizza delivered fresh to your door in 30 minutes or less or it’s FREE.” Dominoes pizza, right? You see how they didn’t claim to be the best tasting, the cheapest (or the most expensive); they were the fastest…guaranteed.

So what is your USP? Are you the fastest in your industry? Do you offer a level of service and expertise that your competitors can’t touch? Does your product do what other products can’t? If so, SAY IT! And communicate it clearly. Your USP should be the focal point for your brochure.

2.Are you showing or telling? I’m from Missouri the “Show-me” state. I guess we are a group of “we’ll believe it when we see it” types. But I don’t think this attitude is limited to Missouri, every consumer everywhere would rather see that your product or service will deliver rather than just hearing you talk about it. So how can you effectively SHOW how your product or service works in the confines of a brochure? There are several ways: 1. Testimonials. Good ones show exactly how your product or services have impacted a real person’s life. 2. Charts, graphs, and comparison. If you can save people money create an easy to read chart or graph that shows how much you’ll save them. If you outperform the competition show that in a comparison of some type. Show you product in use if possible. Showing is always more powerful and more persuasive than telling…

3.Are you speaking the customer’s language or your own? Most brochures read more like a brag report or like the CEO patting him or herself on the back rather than offering valuable info to the prospect. Your brochure should be focused on your customer and his or her needs – not just your company. Yes, you want to show that you have won awards and what not, but you have to go beyond just mentioning your accomplishments and show how you can enrich your customer’s lives.

4.Are your speaking in specific or general terms? People are leery of generalities, but more trusting of specifics. If you say you will save people “a ton of money” that is significantly less powerful than saying that on average your customers save 25% or $100 when they start using your product or service. If you say you are the fastest – quantify how much faster you are and tell your customer why it should be important to them. Specifics are rich with meaning and are powerful…generalities are worthless. Anyone can say that they are the best. Only a few companies can give the proper specifics to prove it.

Here’s your assignment: take your brochure or ads and compare it to your competition’s brochures or ads. Now, try to imagine what your reaction would be if you had no previous knowledge of you company, your competitor’s companies, or your industry. Would any of the brochures cause you to say “wow – I would be a fool not to do business with THAT company?”

My guess is that none will even come close. If your brochure is under performing then go to work on the four things mentioned above.

Don’t let your brochure widen the confidence gap – span that gap. That’s where the money is…on the other side of the confidence gap.

7 Affiliate Success Steps   By Sara Bonnet

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

How to get your business exposed for free!

Everybody in the Internet marketing industry intends to do well, but the truth is that only about 10% of marketers actually succeed. So today you will learn about the tips that will point you in the right direction to make you big profits.

I am not going to guarantee that you will make those profits, I don’t know if you will even follow these steps properly. What I do know is that these same methods are used by the guru’s of internet marketing. Here are the methods that will get you exposed:

1. Niche. Not only do you need to have an attractive uncluttered site, but it should be a site of only 1 common niche. For example if you decide to promote a home business opportunity, then the website that your customer is directed to should be a page of only home business opportunities, information and offers of that subject.

2. Contact. If you have a list, Contact It! If you let your list sit there, your leads will disappear and you won’t sell a thing. People need to be reassured that there is a real live person out there that will help them. When your leads ask questions, answer them to the best of your ability and be honest.

3. Write. Write an article about something you have knowledge of. It doesn’t have to be about your website. If you want more information about your subject, use the internet to get information. After all that is what the world wide web is all about. Your article should be about 1000 words (or so) long. For more tips enter “article writing in your search engine and there you have it.

4. Submit. To submit your article all you have to do is enter article submission into your search engine and submit your article copy to as many publishers as you possibly can. Make sure that you include a byline or authors box at the end of your article. It will generally be a sentence or very short paragraph about your business, including a link to the website. (note the authors box at the end of this article). This is totally free advertising that gets you into the search engines.

5. Linking. Another excellent and free method is adding your link to other peoples sites. All you have to do is enter the subject of your business into the search engine ie. “work at home” or “internet marketing”. The search engine will list the relevant items and all you have to do is find a link in each website that says submit your link and follow the directions. Some sites will require you to trade links with them, all you have to do is copy and paste their link to your webpage. If you can’t do that yet, that’s okay there are still plenty that don’t ask this of you. Spend an entire day doing this, your efforts will pay off.

6. Forums. Next step is to join forums or discussion boards. Not only will you learn heaps from them but, you will have the opportunity to help others too. This is also a really good and discreet way to advertise. You will earn respect and have people coming back for more. When you post in a forum, you are involved in very highly targeted crowd, and when you contact them you leave your information in your signature (including your website address) for the world to see. Just be aware that most forums do not allow you to advertise your business. Don’t disregard their policy as you will only get your self booted from the sites for life.

7. Search Engines. You might have noticed that we use the search engines for a great deal of our work. They would have to be one of the best inventions on the internet! Use them…..find your submission sites, forums and places to link your site, find info for your article etc….You will soon notice that your articles are listed in the search engines which can only gain you more and more traffic at absolutely no cost.

There are a number of ways to expose your business without spending a dime. Not only are they free but they will give you more targeted traffic then you can possibly handle, if done right. Don’t get me wrong, I am not promising you the road to wealth. As I said before I can’t be sure that you will follow these steps correctly. But what I do know is that they actually work, without using them you basically have no hope at making a profit.

Pay Per Click Advertising Works If You Do It Right   By Jeff Schuman

The fastest way to get your product or service out to the
marketplace is with a pay per click advertising campaign. In a
matter of minutes you can be on page one of some of the most
popular keywords relating to the theme of your website.

A pay per click advertising campaign is easy to start. You will
open an account and deposit some money as a starting balance
with the search engine company that you are advertising with. To
start you enter your site`s URL, title and description and bid
on relevant keywords. A site selling jewlery would bid on
keywords such as, `jewelry,` `gold jewelry,` `silver jewlery`
etc.

When someone searches for `jewlery` the details of your site
appear, in the form of a search result with the URL, title and
description you entered. If they then click on your listing,
your account is debited the amount you have bid on that keyword.

What makes this so effective is that someone who has searched
for your product is already qualified when they come to your
site, which is selling the product or service they are looking
for.

It is important that your keywords are relevant and link to the
page that contains information relating to that keyword.

Also be sure and only bid on keywords for the minimum bid amount
when you are first starting. Generally you can bid as low as .05
cents on lesser searched keywords. This strategy makes it more
affordable for you as you learn how to use pay per click
advertising more profitably. It will take you more keywords to
get the traffic you want, but it will cost you less.
