Social Bookmarking Put to The Test.

I recently went through my computer files in order to clean out some of the unused files (clutter).  Okay, my hard drive was on the brink of exploding. 

I realized that I had tons of ebooks, videos, interviews and software that I was not used.  Does this sounds famiar?  Well just about every Internet Marketer has been talking about Web 2.0 and sites such as myspace, YouTube, Hubpages, Squidoo and more.

In my efforts to embrace Web 2.0 I’m going to put this Social Bookmarking to a test.  Why Social Bookmarking you may ask?  Because I purchased another social bookmarking product over the weekend…It was only 7 bucks how could I resist?

Over the next week I’m going to update you on my progress.  I will not reveal the domain, but currently its getting about 350 unique visitors per month.  Yes it is a domain that I let fall and now it’s time to bring back to life.

Review of Monthlyinterviews.com

If you are interested in earning money online,  here is a website that can really help you achieve your goals.   It’s called monthlyinterviews.com.  Each month Todd Taylor interviews top Internet Marketers (Howie Swarts, James Martell, Sydney Johnston and Dave Tropeano to date) who share their secrets to making money on the web.  The interviews are about an hour long (sometimes they go over a few minutes) but its packed full of pure information.  These interview are not those 1 hour sales letters rolled up into a podcast.

So if you’re ready to start an online business, or take yours to another level, head over to monthlyinterviews.com.

Here is another great site, and yes that is my picture on the front Nicherockets.com.

Organic Search Results

When most people think of things that are organic, they think of fresh pesticide free foods and healthy living. But for webmasters and internet business owners, organic has a different meaning. Organic search results are the results of a search on any search engine based on the keywords and content on a given website. Most search engines have sponsored ads included with search results as well, but the natural results that are based on site content and keyword relevancy are considered organic search results. Most website owners try hard to optimize their websites with content and keywords so that they rank high in organic search results. Being ranked high in a search engine’s organic search results is important because it means more traffic for a website.

Web users who are looking for information or products online often use search engines to find what they need. Most internet users can easily discern organic search results from search engine ads, and are much more likely to click on an organic listing than an ad when searching for something online. This is because people trust organic search results because they are based on a sites content and relevance to the keywords they searched for. Paid ads may or may not be related to what they were looking for and many times take web users to websites that are just trying to sell them something, not a valuable website with valuable information. Organic search results have greater click through rates than the ads displayed with them, as users trust search engines to give them relevant websites through organic listings.

Organic search results also help a company’s image and branding. Users expect to see popular brands in organic search results when they search for common products and services. If these companies are absent from organic search results, users may begin to doubt their value. Likewise, if a smaller less known company consistently appears high in organic search results, users will begin to equate them with the product they sell. Performing well in organic search results is a great way for smaller companies to compete with larger rivals.

The best thing about organic search results is that they are free. If a web site is properly optimized, they will be able to draw a lot of traffic form web searches alone. Users know that ads are commercially driven and are often hesitant o click on them, whereas organic search results are usually much more useful. It is free to submit your site to search engines and even if you don’t, as long as you use keywords well your site will eventually be indexed by most major search engines. Paying for search engine advertisements will only mean that your ad will be seen, no that it will get clicked or that your website will get any traffic from it. Ranking high in organic listings will mean more traffic from your website as most internet users turn to search engines and their organic results to find what they are looking for.
