Aloha!

I hope you have had a very productive couple of weeks and you have had the chance to build your website utilizing your chosen keyword phrases. 

We have come a long way in this lesson series.  We have:

• found amazing keyword phrases,
• chosen a niche,
• picked a product (or products) to promote,
• chosen a domain name and
• built a website around our chosen keyword phrases

Your website is complete… you have done everything you need to do to build a solid foundation for a successful business.  Now, you get to do the fun stuff… now you are going to start promoting your website so that you can start making some money!!!

I have 4 steps that I complete for EVERY website I build to promote that site.  I also do other things from time to time to test what is out there and how other things work, but these 4 are the core promotion methods that get my sites to page 1 in Google VERY quickly and get me making money with the site fast.  I go into great detail for each of these promotional methods in my free video series the Website Traffic Surge Process so if you want more help or more clarity, make sure you grab these videos. 

The 4 things that I do for every website are:

1. Bookmark - I use Onlywire.com to bookmark my websites. This is an important first step to get your website indexed in the search engines (particularly Google) very fast, usually within 72 hours.  Onlywire does take some time to set up and get started, but once you have laid the ground work, this step is very easy to completing, taking less than 30 seconds everytime.  There is a piece of software that will complete the set-up for you and will make this original time VERY, VERY fast.  It is called Bookmarking Demon and is a great piece of software.  However, I do still use Onlywire because it accomplished what I need it to for free.  So this comes down to a personal choice for you.  

2. Link Exchange - I complete link exchanges for each and every one of my websites.  However, I don’t complete direct exchanges.  Instead, I complete 3-way link exchanges so that the search engines don’t see the sites as simply swapping sites.  Rather, the links appear to be 1-way links and therefore carry more weight in the search engines, giving you more love :)  I use the 3-Way Links service to complete this. 

3. Write and Spin Articles - After you have bookmarked your site and while you are waiting for Google to index your site so you can use 3 Way Links, you can begin writing an article for your site.  Or, the easier way would be to purchase some PLR articles relating to your site :)  Once you have an article you will need to “spin” it or rewrite it many times so that you have numerous unique versions.  In order for each version to be unique you really should rewrite at least 30% of the article… if not more :)  You can do this by hand and it takes anywhere from 45 minutes - 2 hours depending on how fast you are.  I did it this way for years and didn’t get as many articles submitted as I should have because it took so long and was so monotonous :(  Then I discovered The Best Spinner and now it takes me about 10 - 15 minutes per article to complete a 45% or higher spin rate and I subsequently write/rewrite a lot more articles :)   

4 - Submit Articles - The last of the core promotional methods I use is really just an extension of the third one above :)  After I have spun my article or prepared it for spinning, I then submit my article.  You want to make sure you submit your article to the top article directories, such as ezinearticles.com and also one version on your own website.  However, to get full effect from every article you write/rewrite you will want to make sure and get your article on as many different websites, all unique of course, as you can… or at least on 30 - 50 websites.  That way you will have 30 - 50 more links pointing to your website!  But in addition to that, you have 30 - 50 1-way links… these are the type of links that the search engines LOVE and that love is passed directly to your website!!!  Again, you can do this manually, though I do not recommend it or you can use a service that will do it for you.  I am currently using 1 Way Links and the reason I love this service is that you get 3 links in each article you submit.  That gives you 90 - 150 links for each article!!!  On top of that, since you get to scatter your links throughout the article it now appears more natural to the search engines than a bio box only at the end of an article looks.  Wow… so, 1Way Links submitts articles for you, gives you 3 links in each article and the search engines love the articles because there are links within the body of the article… doesn’t get much better than that :) 

There you have it… that is what I do to promote each and every one of my websites!  Remember, you can get more details, more clarity, and full video explanation by grabbing your copy of the Website Traffic Surge Process for free… so make sure you do that!  Also, ALWAYS remember that anytime you are promoting your website… every link that points to your website, MUST INCLUDE your chosen keyword phrases, one at time of course :)  But, always, always, always remember to include one phrase for each link that points to your website!!!

You now have everything you need to develop a successful internet business.  Do the work, stick to it!!!  Don’t jump around, don’t dabble for a few days or here and there.  Read all these posts, get my Website Traffic Surge Process video series if you don’t have it already and become the energizer bunny… keep going and going and going and going.  It isn’t about how much you do at one time, it is about being consistent!!!

As always let me know you comments/questions… I love to read and respond to them!!

Best Wishes,
