Search Engine Internet Marketing Optimization - Do You Really Need a

Consultant?

Online Business Optimization – The Internet Online Marketing

Advertising Business

Search Engine Internet Marketing Optimization - The term, though

seeming terribly technical, is often held up as bait for you to bite on. The consultants won't get you to pay them large sums of money if the image

of total failure isn't brought into your mind at the thought of not

employing these people.

The question is: what is search engine optimization and what has it got

to do with marketing and, in particular, internet marketing?

Do you need it?I get asked this often.

As you read this page, you will experience the feeling of

excitement at learning something new about home based

internet businesses that will benefit you directly.

The other day, I attended a seminar and heard a consultant telling the

mostly newbie crowd of internet entrepreneurs that it takes years and

thousands of dollars to get one of your pages on the top ten of a search.

If your page is not on the top 20, you are dead and that is true. On the

other hand, using tools like online business optimization and vehicles

like Ezine Articles can put you on the front page for FREE sometimes

within days.

You want your site or name in the top ten because: 1.

95% of searchers will click on one of the top 10 sites. If you are not

there, you are doomed. 99 out of a 100 sites on the web right now will

be dark a year from now only to be replaced by another batch of

hopefuls following the advice of "experts".

If you consider your site page to be a teenager in high school looking to

be noticed for the prom, you could liken search engine optimization (or

seo) as the perfect clothes, perfect haircut, the right posture and so forth that the high school person would put forward when trolling for a date

(internet marketing). The home based business online business has many

similarities to how we live.

2. Search engine internet marketing optimization involves getting

noticed by the search engines. They are looking for quality, relevant

content on your site. If someone types in a search for acne cures, they

don't want to see the top ten page full of tomato disease, dog training

and making cement at home sites. They want all 10 to be relevant to

acne, acne treatments, acne cures and anything else to do with acne.

Now keep in mind that if you are prepared to take a while to

build your home based internet businesses, you are ahead of the

pack. You know there is no free lunch, don’t you?

That’s why it’s called the internet online marketing advertising business.

It’s sole aim is to match a solution of cure to a problem or desire stated

in the original search engine query.

3. If they typed in "natural acne cures", then a whole new set of highly relevant results would be displayed.

How can the search engines detect what is on your site and the quality of

it? They have hundreds of criteria that they use to judge your site. They

greatly affect your internet marketing activities. To name a few:

1. Where did your visitor come from?

2. How long did they stay?

3. Did they break the sound barrier smashing down on the back button

within seconds (called the bounce rate) of arriving or did they read your

material, perhaps go to several pages and then click through one of your

links to a product you sell (they have found their solution therefore your

site is highly relevant).

Imagine scenes of giggly excitement when getting up in the

morning and checking on how well your home based internet

businesses have done overnight by themselves. It’s a pleasure

few people will ever know, isn’t it?

4. How many other quality sites are linked in to yours? Links are signs

of popularity and the guru's will try to convince you of the complexity of

doing this. They will mention something called DMOZ (do a Google

search and find out for yourself what it is). About 80% of the applying

sites are rejected. It is nice to have them on your side but life will go on without their blessing. And, who knows, you might be one of the

accepted 20%

5. There are many other things the search engine spiders (little bits of

code) look for as they "crawl" your site. The search engines have many rocket scientists working on their search algorithms and they are getting

better all the time.

The experts will give you dire warnings of losing your fortune with:

* PPC (Pay Per Click) without the proper online business optimization.

* PPA (Pay Per Activity)

* Keyword density

* Op-ins

* Squeeze pages

* Creating your own ezine (or not)

* My God, how will you get paid for your internet marketing? (PayPal

and ClickBank are highly secure and virtually free for your home based

business online business)

* and so on.

Little by little, you become free of any lingering doubts about

home based internet businesses and what they can do for you.

Better understanding grows excitement, doesn’t it?

All of this information, how to use it, build sites and so forth is available free on the internet. Go slow and work hard. It will take time. Anyone

can build a very successful internet online marketing advertising

company.

The internet is truly the river of gold. The problem is that most people

show up on its shore with a little thimble to timidly dip out some gold. I

urge you to show up with a fleet of tanker trucks (the river doesn't care).

In conclusion, you really do not need a consultant to prosper in internet

marketing. The biggest reason of all is that once they get into your site,

they will add all kinds of pretty features and pictures. What happens is

that all that fine print on the contract you signed comes into effect.

Almost everything on your site becomes their intellectual property! If

the day comes that you want to fire them, you will suddenly realize that

your business is not really your business. Copy right laws protect them.

You have lost all control. You do not need these people!
