Home Internet Business Strategies From Ricky Nelson

by Stephen Beck

When it comes down to taking action, I do not spend a lot of time meditating on it. I go out there, do what I have to do and worry about the consequences later. This would be perfect if I did not care about criticism, however, the fact is I do care.

When it comes down to concerning myself in the affairs of others, I do not. My philosophy is if they want to know how I think, they can ask me. However, I am not in the business of dishing out unsolicited advice to people.

Internet marketing or web marketing is a very useful tool for business operating on the net to use. Where technology is everywhere, things are much quicker with very little effort. The net has really taken over our lives and almost all things are done on the net. You can purchase things online, connect with people and even conduct business thereon.

by George Curtis

Keyword Research with eBillboards

by Joe Kelly

If you have not already you will soon understand why keywords play such a large role in the ranking of your website. Many do not succeed for lack of attention to keywords.

A rule of thumb to keep in mind is that each page of your web site should include one or two keyword phrases that have close association or are somewhat complementary and relevant to each other. Do not clutter your web pages with a set of keywords and keyword phrases as this will surely take away from your Electronic Billboards of North America keyword ranking.

There’s just so much good stuff in this book, I might have to turn this into a multi-part series. Chapter 4, “Direct Response Marketing” (from Guerrilla Marketing on the Internet by Jay Conrad Levinson) really got me thinking about how many sites I’ve come across that don’t do anything for the business. In very few cases, having the simplest of ‘brochure websites’ (strictly informational and usually for credibility purposes) may be appropriate, but there are so many opportunities to get your web site to do more for your business.
