I discovered something very, very interesting this last Monday afternoon, and wanted to let you in on my discovery.

On Monday afternoon, I came across a website selling an ebook, called Affiliate Project X. So far an average Monday afternoon, right?

You see, as a veteran internet marketer I probably read ten or fifteen sales letters *a day*, and normally I just hit the back button.

But as I started to read, something strange happened. I just couldn't pull myself away from the site, Apparently, this guy said he could train Anyone up to quit their day job as an affiliate - and he guaranteed it in fact. Yeah - right, I thought... The usual BS, but the one thing that got me interested most was the dozen or so testimonials from people who had done just that, on some occassion within weeks.

As you can imagine, I was then really getting curious at this point, and decided to make my investment and get hold of my copy. So how did it fare?

Well, very simply, I couldn't stop reading! What amazed me was that it is so deceptively simple and practical. The kind of stuff that you can do right away and see instant results.

But then, when I was done, I stopped for a second and thought: who the Heck wrote this, and why haven't I heard about him before? This was just another one of those scams, I thought, but at the same time I was getting more and more curious and decided to do something I *very* rarely do.

I contacted the author personally, and scrutinized him heavily about his book, and also told him that I did not like it, as a matter of fact I hated it, I said, because who was he, and what credientials did he actually have? It's for losers, I said ( I wanted to get a reaction, and also thought it all seemed too good to be true)

It turns out that the entire book has only just been released in the last few weeks, and so the techniques in it haven't hit the mainstream - yet. The author is looking at promoting the guide quite heavily over the next few weeks. Ok, I said to this selfmade guru, I also want to get My news out early to everyone to Not get this book!

Then this author guy claimed, once more, as mentioned above, that the Affiliate Project X IS for Everyone interested in quitting their day job and becoming a full-time internet marketer, he also gave his guarantee to me right there, that if you do mot earn $2000 per week within 8 weeks you will get a full refund. By then I thought that he is either dead serious, giving that kind of guarantee, or dead crazy! Anyways, I then decided to give it another try, reread it again and then again. What happened? Well, I change my mind. I have to admit it, I was wrong. I have to tell you the truth. And this is coming from someone with a ´masters degree in reading and analizing written material.

As a matter of fact, it's downright good, and why is that?
It is the style, in the almost ridiculously simplistic way that he gives his advice. A simplistic, almost innocent way of laying it all out there, for everyone to see, understand and process. That is Admirable, really!. But the good of it also depends on an almost shameful straightforwardness to it, a step by step instruction exactly of what to do.

Sure, we have heard bits and parts of it somewhere before, not all of course, but many of the techniques, or methods, as the author say, we already know of in the back of our mind - But, That is not the main argument in this case: The main point here is his way of arranging the information, which makes this manual special. And then, not to forget, it also depends on his solemn promise - that IF I do not succeed in 8 weeks and earn his fantastic $2000/week I WILL get all of my money back!

This IS sort of heavy as an argument, because it also put little ME into action, instead of just keeping the info in my mind, lazy and impassive, overwhelmed by the almost suffocating stream of information of the net..

- So this actually means that I really WILL get $2000 per week within the 8 weeks? I thought to myself - Otherwise this author guy will Not get His money back - SO what does that mean in its turn?

I have to admit it, it certainly put emphasis to his work, i.e. the content of the manual. And this guy imagine, is not even an American! He is British for God's sake! So, folks, Do No longer look for gold only in California, but look also Eastwards to the older empire of the Greatest Britain, cause that's where the gold is today!

For a successful Search Engine Optimization strategy, take into consideration that search engines look at content and also at the structure of the markup. They emphasize the importance of text content, page titles, keywords rich text, meta descriptions and information architecture. A website where quality of content and code prevails will rank higher in the major search engines.

There are many Search Engine Optimization tactics, but try to find the best combination and don't sacrifice the usability and performance of your website. Here is some basic information about improving your source code from an SEO perspective:

--Avoid classical 404 error pages

The 404 - File Not Found - page is presented to the user by the server as an error page. The user gets this message directly from the server of the website he is trying to visit. This error page is supposed to appear only when the server cannot find the requested location and is unsure of its status.

In the vast majority of cases, the 404 error emerges for pages that were moved or even deleted or the layout of the site or page information changed.

Many hosting companies offer a 404 redirect page. This means that when a user enters the URL of any page of your domain, and that page does not exist or can no longer be found, you can automatically redirect the user to a specified page - usually your home page or your sitemap.

Pay special attention when you decide to delete certain pages. Remember to redirect them to a main page of your site using the 301 (Moved Permanently) HTTP response code.

You can greatly improve the user friendliness of your website by creating a custom 404 page.

-Present a message of apology for the inconvenience;
-Try to ease the user's way back to your site. Introduce error messages and include evident links to the home page, sitemap, and contact page;
-Offer assistance and encourage the user to continue to search for the information he needs on your site. You could even include a search box right on the error page;
-Keep the same design for the error page as for the rest of the website.

See: www.avangate.com/4040404404

But remember that the best strategy for a 404 error page is to prevent it from coming up altogether, as many customers might be left with the impression that the whole website does not exist and not just the specific page they were trying to access.


--Keep away from orphan pages

An orphan page is a page that is not linked to another one an thus cannot be found by spiders. To avoid having orphan pages on your website, check regularly that all your pages are linked to each other.

Search engines consider sites with orphan pages to be unprofessional, and not worthy of getting a high rank. This kind of website is under construction or is the result of a poor design process. If your pages aren't linked properly search engines won't index them and will consider them irrelevant for the search.

Pay attention to the fact that some search engines don't index correctly websites that use HTML frames. When spiders crawl through your internal pages, they index each individual page and display them as orphan pages in search results. Most frame designs include a content frame and a navigation frame.

Visitors require both frames to navigate through the site. Create a JavaScript to check if the page is loading correctly, and load the frameset. In this way, users won't be able to open pages outside the frame. This is a very easy way of losing clients.


--Use 301 redirect pages

To avoid displaying a 404 error page, set up a 301 redirect page. The code 301 means "moved permanently" and it's the easiest way to preserve your search engine rankings for that page.

There are two ways of generating proper 301 redirect pages. If your site is hosted on a Linux or Unix server create a .htaccess file to add the redirect to your server's web root.

The .htaccess file contains specific instructions for certain requests, including security, redirection issues and how to handle certain errors. If it is hosted on a Windows or IIS server then the 301 redirect can be set up in the Administrator's section of the server software or through the DNS (Domain Name Server) zone.

Make a habit of reviewing the log files which contain data sent by your server. Search engine spiders often make critical decisions based on what your server tells them through the server's headers.

Pay attention, an improper 301 redirect can cause you big problems, since your website might fail and users won't be able to visit your pages. Setting up a correct "301 redirect" assures that you'll stay high in search rankings.


--Create a sitemap

A sitemap is a web page that lists all the pages on your website. They are intended both for users - to find easier the information they need , and for search engines to index pages.

Your sitemap link should be right on your home page. In this way spiders are sent directly to the place where all your content information is gathered. Sitemaps can improve SEO, however, be advised that they only take into consideration a limited number of links to those pages.

To make sure that spiders check your whole site and have more chances to get indexed, it would be a good idea to use a sitemap generator. You can use ROR sitemaps that are readable by all search engines.

ROR is a sitemap tool that uses XML feeds to describe your website. ROR sitemaps allow search engines to match text search with structured information, thus obtaining more relevance for your site. This kind of sitemap helps search engines to better understand your website content - products, services, images, articles, etc. By creating a file with product names, descriptions, prices, images, availability, affiliate programs, and any other relevant information customers can find you easier.


--Don't overuse dynamic pages

Dynamic web pages include dynamic content - images, text, etc - which changes without the page being reloaded. Client-side languages like JavaScript and ActiveX are usually used to create these types of web pages.

Search engines don't rank well dynamic pages with many parameters. If you choose not to turn your dynamic URLs into static ones, at least put the most important parameters in your URLs first and try to limit dynamic parameters to no more than two.

Spiders can't read the text rendered as graphics. Any text that you want the spiders to read and index should be written out as text. At the very least, put any text that appears in graphics into the images' ALT attribute.

A slightly better alternative is to write your text in Flash, but remember to have a "Skip this intro..." link that takes visitors (and spiders) to the text-rich content of your site. Don't neglect this information if you want to optimize your search engine strategy.


--Put .CSS and JavaScript into external files

For a search engine, improperly formatted code will have a negative impact on your rankings. Since search engines read only a certain amount of information on a web page, you should try to increase the text content to HTML tag ratio.

If you have too much HTML code, the text content won't be seen entirely. For reducing HTML code, utilize hand coding using external .css files and Javascript.


--Make sure you have well formatted [X]HTML

Try to fix as many of the HTML errors as possible. Although the search engines don't rank better websites that have standard compliant code they tend to "read" them easier. Use the W3 HTML Validator to check the validity of your code.


For a successful Search Engine Optimization strategy, take into account all of the aspects presented here. It takes time, effort and patience to achieve a higher rank in the main search engines. The idea is to have a long term strategy that makes your website stay on top for an extended period of time.

Once you have performed all the necessary steps to acquire an Opt-in Subscriber through proper Opt-in Email Marketing, i.e., created a Squeeze Page with your Opt-in form attached. You’ll find that after a follow-up email campaign to your list. a percentage of these folks will take the opportunity to join your affiliate program.

If your program has a 15 or 30 day free trial listen up.

I received this email from an individual who had joined my team:

Hi John,

I have a couple of questions for you from my downline.

1. What type of letter do you send to your new trial members?

2. How do we convert the 30 day free trial people into paid members?

I've been sending just a short personal email but was wondering if you had an outline of something we could use. The second question is more important as we have one person who has signed up about 5 free members and we're wondering how to help convert them. Thanks for your help, John :-)

Warm regards,

Hi__________,

LOL ...I've tried every welcome message I could ever think of and I have come to these conclusions. In my opinion there are 3 types of marketers who join affiliate programs:

Type1- The "OK ... We'll See" Referral"
This person joins every program and then...DOES NOTHING and he or she (mostly males) never answer your initial welcome email. And because they do nothing, they get nothing in return. And the weird thing...they wonder why the program didn't work...Go Figure :-)

Type2- The "I'm So Excited" Referral"
This person joins and is so over-excited and enthused that you become excited as well but Watch Out For This Person. This individual comes in 2 categories...the newbie...and the guy who moves from program to program, (similar to number 1 above BUT with enthusiasm). Then after 2 - 3 weeks have passed and they haven't made a mi!!ion bucks and it takes a little effort ... they drop out.

Type3- The "Let's Do This!!!" Referral"
This is YOU in other words, someone who is like YOU ...mature and a serious marketer and someone who knows that you have to build in order to make money. Someone who will Do Whatever It Takes to Succeed. This is the individual who WILL Make A Full Time Living from the internet. And it is this type of referral you want to fill your team with.

REALITY
You'll get a lot of 1s and 2s and the gems, the number 3s, will come. Type 3s will make you rich. And ________...you're really lucky...your team is being filled with Type 3s...your duplicates. That doesn't happen often...it didn't happen for me at first...and then I started getting less of the 1 and 2 and more of the number 3s and the rest...as they say...Is History.

So the answer to your question: :-)

It doesn't matter what you send as a welcome message as long as it is warm, friendly and offers assistance.

And to your second question:

You Convert a 30 day trial member by teaching, educating and The Giving Of Yourself.

Think of the things I have done for you and all who join my Team. My instant responses, my guidance, my tips, tricks and strategy...I hide nothing from you and there's more to come :-).

But let me ask you: Would you have taken me seriously in my welcome message to you...if I hadn't offered to help you Fr ee Of Charge, with NO CATCHES, No Strings Attached Initially ...I was Sincere in wanting to help YOU...and you felt this sincerity and your referrals must feel this from you as well.

The REAL Secret To Internet Success:
Giving NOT Taking...Educating NOT trying to make a deal...Recommending NOT Selling.

You might try to Sell to a Stranger but you should always Recommend to a Friend.
(yeah I created that phrase and you can steal it lol)

To Give Of Yourself...Unselfishly! This is how you convert the 30 day free trials. You may not get all of them but you’ll get a higher percentage with this very unselfish strategy than without it.

Opt-in Email Marketing and the elements incorporated in this procedure makes it a "Sweet Science" (sorry boxing enthusiasts :-) that ALL Internet Marketers should learn at the very beginning of their marketing career, that is... if they truly wish to Succeed ...
