What Everybody Ought to Know About Domain Reselling Business

Providing for Domain Registrations Services can be an extremely profitable business if you make the right choices; in terms of your parent provider such as an established Registrar. Here's how reselling domain names works and tips on choosing a good provider:

*Reselling Domain Names - The Basics: *


Offering reseller programs, ICANN Accredited Registrars are your best bet for a successful reseller business. Accredited Registrars are capable of providing you with the lowest pricing; furthermore they offer advanced and professional support. Some Registrars take services one step ahead by providing white labeled as well as private labeled support, which basically means your customers will think you are providing this support and that you are the final parent provider. Now that's good service.

*ICANN Accredited Resellers*


Enom, Wild West Domains, Resellerclub, etc are some of the top ICANN Accredited Registrars that partner with resellers to broaden their market. Trusting a parent provider other than an ICANN Accredited Registrar or a Reseller under one can be extremely risky and in this high profit industry is not advised.

*Discounted Prices:*


Resellers partnered with ICANN Accredited Registrars are provided with extremely slashed prices which in turn maximizes profits. Look for a Registrar who provides good pricing so that you can compete with the veterans.

*Promotions:*


Another aspect to keep an eye on would be promotions that the registrar runs. More promotions equal’s higher discounts equals more profits equals happy customers equals good business. Constant promotions not only mean bringing in new customers but retaining existing ones.

A few pointers that I hope will help you with your business venture. Good luck!!

5 Ways a Blog Can Help Your Business

A lot of small business owners are jumping on the blogging bandwagon and there is a very good reason for this. A blog is a very effective tool for your small business, if used correctly. You're probably wondering if a blog can really help your business or if it is just another fad. There are several reasons business owners are blogging about their business. Blogging helps not only their bottom line, but also their customer relations. Below are the top 5 ways a blog can help your business:

1. Helps potential customers and the media find you- Search engines love blogs! If you post to your blog with search engines in mind, potential customers and the media will find you and your content rich information much easier. But be aware that just because you set up a blog and post a few times does not mean the search engines will find your blog right away. It does take a little bit of time to grow your business blog. Just keep posting content related to your expertise and the press, clients, and search engines will come.

2. Establishes your role as an expert in the field- A blog is a great tool to set yourself apart from the competition as establishing yourself as the expert in your industry. By sharing your opinions on industry news or topics your customers are interesting will automatically generate public speaking invitations and a general perception of your clients as "the expert". For consultants and coaches being viewed as "the expert" is essential. This allows you to raise your rates and never have to worry about where your next client will come from.

3. Creates a dialogue between you and your customers- A blog is different from a website, because it creates a dialogue between you and your blog visitor. As long as you allow comments on your blog, which I highly suggest you do, your blog sets up a unique dialogue between you and your customers. Wondering if your next product or service will be a success, just look to your blog for the answer. If you're already blogging, but haven't received comments yet try asking questions at the end of your blog posts to get the conversation going.

4. Another format to constantly reach your customers- With spam filtering and junk mail settings, sometimes your emails never make it to your customers. But with a blog and a RSS feed, a geeky term for how your blog is delivered, your customers can receive your blog content automatically. It's best to reach your customers in multiple formats whether it's mail, email, blogging, or public speaking. Blogging just adds another tool to your follow-up methods.

5. Free advertising- Who doesn't want free advertising for their small business? A blog is a great way to advertise your services and products without spending a dime. But be careful not to hit them over the head with a hard sales message. It's best to just give great content and mention a few of your services or products within the posts.

How to Index Your Blog Fast

It is quite common to hear people complaining about their blog not getting indexed or take too long time to get indexed by Google. At the same times, there are also people who claimed to get indexed within hours or days by Google.

So, why is it that some blog are able to get indexed fast, while the others can’t? The reason behind it is actually very simple: it depends on whether you take the necessary action to let Google know that your blog exist.

If all you did is create a blog, start posting on it and expect Google to find and crawl you, you will be disappointed. They won’t know it and even if they did stumble into your blog one day, it might be months or years later.

So, the important point to get your blog index is to let Google know your blog exist.

How?

The easiest method to do so is to put your blog link out there for Google and there are many ways to do so. You can start to comment on popular blog, forum or use social bookmarking site like Digg, Stumbleupon or Technorati to bookmark your blog content.

The logic behind this method is simple; Google like new contents and so, they frequently crawl these sites. When new content or articles appeared on these sites, most of the times, it gets indexed within minutes. So, when you make comments or bookmarking on these sites; and in the process, leaving your blog URL behind, you are actually leaving a trail for Google to find and reach your blog. When it come to these sites, it will eventually find your blog link and follow through to your blog. Hence, your blog will get indexed subsequently.

There are some people who think that making comments on blogs will not get indexed by Google. They feel that Google will not index your blog because nowadays, most of the blogs are nofollow, so your comment will have no impact at all. Actually, this is a wrong concept. What nofollow does is simply notify Google not to pass on page rank or link juice to the linked site, but, it won’t stop the search engine from following through the link to your blog.

Of course, besides this method, there are many other ways that can help your blog to get indexed by Google fast, but, this is by far the most effective way that I have come across. Using this method, all my other sites get indexed within a week, the faster being a day and the longest takes about 5 days.

Try this method out to see if it is effective for your blog.

Getting Free Website Content From the Internet

Aside from the design, the other thing that can attract the interest of possible clients to your site is the website content. If you started setting up your website with the design and the lay-out and you are still waiting to get some and high quality content that is fresh and interesting as well as original, then there are ways to get it in the shortest time possible.

Although, you can write the content of your site yourself, you must remember that coming up with great articles that people would actually read requires the necessary skills. You would have to be a good writer to carry it off. Another thing about writing your own content is the length of time it will take to do it. Because of this, instead of being able to open your website to incoming traffic the soonest time possible, you would have to wait for the content to come in. This would result in your possibly losing a number of clients that you would have gained had you started your website sooner.

You can also have professional web content writers to provide these articles for your website. With them, you are assured of getting the fresh content that you need, which are sure to catch the eye of would-be clients. However, if you are running a small to medium enterprise that can't afford the cost of hiring these writers, then you are better off looking for another source of articles for your web content. This is where free web content comes in.

Article Directories

These free articles are other people's work that has been on the Internet for a period of time and has been found to generate traffic to the websites of others. There are many online sites from which this types of free content is available, the most frequently used being the Article Directories.

A Google search is the easiest way to find an article directory, and once there you will have a number of directories to choose from. They tend to have their own search box so that you can seek articles pertaining to your specific niche. Most directories are certain to have articles that you are able to use as good content, although you will have to retain the 'author's resource' area, in which the author gets credit for the article and is permitted to advertise the URL of his or her website. However, this is a small price to pay for high quality articles.

It could be a disadvantage to you if the writer is a competitor, so you should first check out the website to make sure that it does not compete with you. there is also the possibility of the reader clicking away from your website, but that is one of the negatives that have to bear for using these free articles on your website. You will find, however, that most readers will stay on your page.

Public Domain Works

Another way to get content for your website is by looking for articles that have no copyright. Termed as works under public domain, these articles may have expired copyrights or have been released by its authors into the domain of the public. This means that you can basically use these articles for your website content for free, without having to state their original authors. However, you have to take note that this type of free content is not that easy to find. There is another place where you can get these public domain articles though and that is through the RSS Feed.

An acronym for Really Simple Syndication, a RSS Feed is actually just a piece of content that can be fed right to your own website. This means that you can place any RSS Feed for free into your own website and this will have content from another site. While this feed is automatically linked back to its host website, you are guaranteed of always having fresh website content that is just so easy to place on your own. All you have to do is put the code made available by the host into your own site and you will already have the kind of content that you want for your site.

While these are the basic ways for you to be able to gain content for your website, there are also other ways for you to do it. These include using the product information of the items that you may be offering that has already been provided by its manufacturers or contacting the author of an article that you are particularly interested in. With the latter, you would have to tell the author that you like his writing and would like to give him a free link to his website in exchange for his content. While you can generate money for the manufacturers by selling their product, it best to get their permission first before you go ahead and use the written information about their products as your own website content.

Trackback Your Way to the Top -- Blog Marketing

Promoting a blog is quite different from promoting a static website, the differences often benefit the blog owner because this publishing platform offers a lot more options when it is compared to traditional content management system or a manually updated page. TrackBack's are considered by many the ultimate one-way link, these are created when you post a comment on your blog in regards to another, the blogger who created the original post will receive what is called a TrackBack, if it is accepted the blogger who blogged about the original blog will get a reciprocal link otherwise original site will only get a one-way link.

Creating quality blog of posts is a key towards a successful link building campaign when it comes to this type of content management system, when a quality post is created other bloggers who syndicate the RSS feed will start to provide TrackBack's which can be accepted as either a one-way link or a reciprocal.

According to your search engine marketing strategy you can accept the one-way link or just create a reciprocal among sites which are relevant to each other, just keep in mind that reciprocal links have been devaluated by Google and are not very likely to count as much as a one-way link.

Installing a spam filter or comment moderation plug-in will help you sort the quality track backs from just noise or spam, remember that many RSS feeds are just scraped from sites and very likely from your blog in order to create what are called splogs. The intention behind splogs creation is to monetize the site via an adsense platform while automating the syndication process, this is what you need to change the settings of your RSS feeds to provide just a summary instead of providing the entire continent.

This blog marketing strategy is one that you must execute while being very precocious because of the fact that many spammers will take advantage track backs in order to build back links, if you send a ping back nature to actually be linking to the site you are sending the ping back to, otherwise your site will be just blacklisted from these blogs.

Make Money Online - Affiliate Networks and PPC Campaigns

any people come on the Internet everyday in hopes of making a desirable income. Many fail due to lack of knowledge, or they were mislead by some "guru". Today affiliate networks are key to making money online, it's can be the simplest and easiest way to earn a dollar period. An affiliate network plays middleman between the publisher (the owner of the product being sold) and the advertiser/affiliate (the person who's responsible for the sale.) An individual can sign up to an affiliate network such as clickbank and start looking for products to promote. The way this is done is through the affiliate network (middleman) a unique URL with an id is created for the affiliate and the certain product they chose to promote, through this unique URL they track the sales made. So you would place this URL on your site, if anyone were to click on it and go to their website and end up making a purchase you would make a certain % commission for the sale previously determined by the publisher (owner of the product). The affiliate network (middleman) would charge the publisher (owner of the product) a very small fee per transaction. The affiliate walks away clean with money in the bank. Affiliate marketing is quite rewarding since most publishers (owners of the product) pay about 50% commission and better, and give bonuses to super affiliates who make 300-400 sales per month.

The great thing about all of this is you don't need a website or product. If you were to try affiliate marketing all you would need is to sign up to an affiliate network, (which is free) and start looking for products to promote. Once you have one in mind you can start a campaign with a PPC company like Google AdWords, you can start a campaign with them and make an attractive call to action ad that applies to the product you are promoting. Select keywords that highly describe your product in the most simplest form possible. Set your bids (price your willing to pay per ad clicked) and make sure to place your affiliate URL in the URL box on the ad you make. When someone searches for that product your ad will appear if they click on it you will be charged the amount you agreed to pay per click (a good bid is around 15-20 cents) and they will be taken to the page where that product is being sold, if they end up making a purchase you will make a good % percentage on the sale. Most importantly PPC networks like AdWords give you free credits if your a new customer so you can start making money before you even pay a dime. Affiliate marketing is a very powerful way of making money online, working from home is truly a privilege and only those who really want it and go after it can achieve success.

Making Money With Article Directories

Article directories are website owners best friend. They house free articles.These articles help whoever owns the copyright to promote their business with a boost. Every article has the owners byline placed on it at the bottom. Whoever reads the article will know the writer of the artile as well as how to get in contact with their website.

Article directories are the place to place your articles and increase traffic for your site. This method is free and will help people who are interested in your product to find your article,view your subject and visit your website if interested. Even if you cannot write or do not have knowledge on the subject your can find products that sell article ebooks that are online. You can pick articles from there or hire a writer to do the work for you. These articles will be used to help in selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit.

Let me give you a example. Imagine that you are working from home. You write a article on a topic you can relate to and place it on article directories. People who are looking for the subject you wrote will read it and see you are versed in the subject. This will prompt them to go to check out your website. This creates potential clients for your business and other may just like the article and want to use it for their website if the content is helpful for their product. Now, you get double exposure because whoever views their site will see your article as well. Free advertising.

Once you post it on a free article directory, other affiliate with websites about the same subject eventually use your article for their website. Since your byline is attached it will bring you even more exposure for every website it re-posts your article on. This benefits you with traffic that they get to their website.

There are many article directories out their why not put a article on every one. Talk about powerful advertising.
