I wanted to share this SEO Firefox Plugin with everyone as it’s truly an essential tool for analyzing and tracking web sites.

As an Internet Marketer there are literally hundreds of ways to bring traffic to your site, however every internet entrepreneur must decide for themselves whether they are going focus in and become an expert at paid traffic or free traffic.

There are many pros and cons to both. In the long run I’m a firm believer that you should truly become an expert in at least one and then build a good knowledge base and understanding for the other. (more…)

I want to highlight an incredibly valuable lesson that most people have probably heard of but either never fully grasped the power of, or simply never acted upon these principles to empower their own business.

It’s called “Installing Systems and Infrastructure”…

Ask yourself how much time you spend “Working On Your Business” VS. “Working In Your Business“?

Then ask yourself when the last time you sat down and either wrote out, planned, reviewed or created any of the following for yourself, your staff, an employee or an outsourced contractor…

• Systems
• Checklists
• Process Maps
• Policies
• Guidelines
• Instruction Manuals
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
• Style Guide

Or any other template driven process in your business.

Let’s illustrate this with an example from my own business.

Earlier today I made a post about something that’s going to make history and be talked about in the upper echelons of the top 1% of all Internet marketers and online business owners for years to come.

This is so important that I’m going to feature this subject again. Sinse writing my previous post I’ve re-read this salesletter 3 more times (which is more of a story than a salesletter anyway.

Here is another small sliver of Gold that I managed to extract the 3rd time through.

It’s called “Remnant Space”…

Remnant Space is also referred to in the industry as “Last Minute Advertising” and this is where you can get some wicked good deals and stretch your ad budget as much as 1,000% or more with just one or two deals.

Shhhh…

I’m not supposed to be telling you this, but let me explain…

I want to talk about a few things that most people either just won’t admit to, or at least it’s “Mums the Word” because of the somewhat uncomfortable situations.

You know how there are times when you need cash, not next month, not even next week, you need it right away… for things like:

• A Harassing Creditor
• An Unpaid Phone Bill
• An Unexpected Bind
• That Special Occasion
• Or that new Internet training program you’ve just gotta have!

I’m talking about things you need to take care of it immediately!

I know things can happen that are totally unexpected. Hey whether anyone likes to admit it or not, it happens to everyone!

And the last thing you want to do is ask friends or family to bail you out.

Have you ever gone to Google and typed in your name just to see what comes up? What about the name of a friend or family member?

It’s kind of cool to see what the world has to say about you. But what if you didn’t want to be listed in the “INDEX”? What if you wanted to keep your anonimity and be unknown to the world? Is such a thing possible? Can you hide from the radar of the web? Should you?

What if someone else were to write something about you, either on a blog or in a community newspaper article? How difficult would it be to actually try and track down and have all of these references removed or deleted from the source loction?

What about the Archive.org (aka “The Way Back Machine”)… what if even after you had the materials or references pulled from their original location, they would still be listed in the cyber-archives of the web for potentially prying eyes to view.

But let’s get back to the positive aspects of being included as an individual in the SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages). Stop for a moment and imagine that you are one of the worlds most saught after Internet Marketing SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) Specialist. Then think about what would that one keyword phrase or word be, that you would want to be listed for?

As a follow-up from my previous Tag Cloud post I’ve been on the hunt for some scripts or code I could either use or modify to add a tag cloud to this blog and a few of my other sites. Most of the scripts are either overly complicated, too simple without enough features or they cost money.

Being such a big fan of $FREE things, I kept looking. And of course with enough time spent on searching the web you can find almost anything.

I found a great little tool that requires no installation of databases or php scripts. It takes less than 5 minutes to put on your site and it’s very customizable. I was able to change the style sheet to match the blue tones of our site and then simply post few lines of code on my Menu Nav Bar page and viola… we have a Tag Cloud.

If you scroll down the page on the right hand menu below the Search Box and Bookmarklets, you’ll notice it.

You can manage your account from their web interface and create as many clouds as you like.

The service integrates beautifully with your blog you only need to input your main RSS feed and then it pulls down all the blog posts, counts up the words and sorts them into cloud formation.

To create your own Tag Cloud go check out ZoomClouds free service.

Have Tag Clouds ever peaked your curiosity? I’ve always been a fan of keeping up with the trends in technology and I think Tag Clouds in general are one of the more interesting side effects of Web2.0.

I’ve always taken a liking to them but hadn’t found a lot of use until recently. I asked the question “What can we learn from a Tag Cloud?”… and “How can I as a marketer use this seemingly random display of data to my advantage?”

So I went searching for some answers and came up with some very cool sites…

The term ‘Crackberry‘, now voted Word of the Year for 2006 by Webster’s New World Dictionary, has been heard throughout schools, office cubicles and even at your local washroom movie theatre.I stumbled across this term as I was looking for word trends, slang and street lingo while doing SEO Keyword research for a new campaign I am working on.

The humorous part is, there seems to be quite a bit of commotion going on around the web and in the media. They’re saying things like “…this wide spread epidemic could foster a new generation of Crack Babies…”.

I did a few quick searches and found the term defined in several online dictionaries such as the Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, NetLingo, and the Urban Dictionary.

“The etymological source of the nickname is the highly-addictive rock cocaine, called crack, for the first part of the word, combined with the berry from BlackBerry,” writes James Alan miller, a journalist for SmartPhone Today. (more…)

I’ve added a ton of new stuff to the members resource area. If you haven’t already checked it out, go take a look. We’re up to over 20+ free ebooks and software programs that are yours for the taking.

This should be a good place to start in getting familiar with some of the basic Internet Marketing jargon and start to figure out which niche you want to go after.
