Letter from
Phil
today's long letter is mainly about getting more
visitors to your websites...the all-important targeted traffic.
But you'll also find an Internet Explorer tip...details
of an online resume service...and Neil Shearing behind bars.
Hope you find at least one thing here useful.
And all of it interesting.
Here's what's inside:
Traffic Dynamo...
A
free Search Engine Primer ebook...
Quick Internet Explorer Tip...
Online Resume Service...
Neil Shearing behind bars...
1. Ok, first up a look at
Traffic Dynamo...
You've probably not heard of it yet, because it's
only just come out of the final testing stages. Plus there's no
affiliate program at this stage, so you're not going to see it widely
promoted.
But when it comes to getting targeted visitors
from search engines Dynamo
is the real thing.
In fact I'd say it's the first ever automated
product that's been proven to work...driving a constant flow of
motivated, interested, and
targeted traffic to any web site on any subject.. and can even be
used to attract visitors to affiliate programs you're promoting.
Not only that...once you've done some initial
work it does everything automatically for you, including building
database driven web sites
that can contain hundreds or indeed thousands of pages.
Database sites?
Don't let that word put you off. Before I understood
what a database really is, I'd hear the word and immediately tune
out everything related to it. Too technical for me.
But really you don't have to know anything about
databases or programming to make it work. It's simple to understand
once you've taken some time to read the tutorial.
Believe me, I'm a no hoper when it comes to anything
away from a bit of simple html (I even struggle to make a subscribe
form work) but I'm putting Dynamo
to work to attract traffic to my sites and get subscribers to my
newsletter.
Having said that, it's not something for beginners.
Dynamo uses advanced
techniques, and you need at least a basic webmaster's background
before you give them a try. You also need to have your
own domain name, and a CGI-enabled web site (UNIX or NT). So this
is a system for people who are serious about their business and
web site.
Look I wrote about 5 pages on Dynamo
before realizing it made this letter far too long and had to delete
it all.
Rather than me rambling on about it, and trying
to explain everything you need to visit
the site which explains it a lot better than I did.
Before you go though, I've struck a special deal
for you.
Seeing there's no affiliate program yet, I've
managed to talk the developer, Joe Chapius ( well respected web
marketer and writer, an
ODP editor at www.dmoz.org, and publisher of Net
Tips into giving you a big discount equal to the kind of money
he'd normally have to pay out in affiliate commissions.
Joe tells me he's planning to sell it in the $79-$149
range - probably $129. Right now he's priced it at $79.
But for the next 4 days, until the 11th, you can
get it from my link for much less by entering the coupon code: wiley30
Remember, like anything else you have to put time
and effort into making it work/taking action.
But make up your own mind after reading
about it. It's not simple stuff, but it could well turn out to be
a serious traffic driver for your sites.

2. A free Search Engine Primer
ebook...
More on traffic, and this time for beginners (and
not so beginners).
No matter how many visitors we get to our web
sites we all want more, don't we?
Visitors who come because of personal recommendations
are the best, but traffic from search engines has got to run a pretty
close second.
Why? Because it's tightly targeted traffic. People
from a search engine could only have found you because they were
searching for what you're offering.
Hard to get ranked high though, isn't it?
Fortunately, some people who are experts at getting
a top 10 spot, are willing to share their knowledge. So this week
I've got a FREE ebook for you, called Search
Engine Primer.
Naturally, being free, it points you to a longer
pay-for version. But don't let that put you off because the information
in the free book is really valuable, and quite in-depth. Very useful
stuff.
You can download it, free, by visiting
this link

EasySEO
And before finishing talking about more visitors don't forget the
low cost EasySEO reverse
engineering software I wrote about the other day.

3. Quick Internet Explorer
Tip...
Here's an Internet Explorer shortcut I've been finding useful lately.
Instead of typing the full url of a site, just
put the site name and then press ctrl+enter. windows will then automatically
put the header and tail to it.
1. type : minisiteprofits
then press
2. ctrl+enter
it will turn to http://www.minisiteprofits.com
and bring up the site.

4. Online Resume Service...
In Friday's New York Times I read that "
The nation's unemployment rate rose to 6 percent in November, the
highest level since a peak almost nine years ago."
Not good news, if you're one of the people affected
by this. But higher unemployment could well help people promoting
Resume services.
It could also be another niche for you to explore.

Now if I ever get to Ireland again, long time All the Secrets/Letter
from Phil reader, the very Irish Ronan Kennedy owes me a Guinessor
two for this mention of his online resume service.
Actually a promise of Guiness can't bribe me to
write about just anything here...I've checked it out and Ronan is
offering a very good service.
And, when you look at the figures for people searching
for resume information, his affiliate program looks well worth joining
and building a mini site or two around.
Here are some figures:
Terms searched for last month on the engines per
overture tool:
resumes 500,000 approx cover letters 165,000
sample resumes 110,000
resume writing 92,000
resume examples 42,000
sample cover letters 50,000
resume templates 21,000
resume cover letters 35,000
( there are many more terms about the 15-20,000
level ).
Here are two of Ronan's resume sites:Sample

5.Neil Shearing behind
bars...
As part of his large, and still growing web empire,
Neil used to run one of the best and busiest internet marketing
discussion forums.
Used to?
Well it's still there but he's put it behind bars,
locking it away inside his new
member only site.
It's not the only thing inside. There's lots of
info, and resident experts...including me.
I think it's the first member only site pay site
I've come across without an affiliate program, which testifies to
Neil's huge pulling power.
