GooglePage and AdSense Solutions

GooglePage (tm) is free and easy to use. GooglePage offers 41 page skins (templates) and a simple editor to create pages. Simply add text, upload pictures, video, music and files, click “publish” and your page exists on the world wide web. Google offers 100 Mb of space and is coupled to your GMail account. As with all Google services, there are adequate official and non-official help pages and forums for GooglePages.com (or GPC) which is still in testing phase (Beta).

Page Design Techniques

You can combine the Page skins with four different layouts as each page requires.

Example: You might decide that your home page layout should have a left column for navigation, a center column for a short explanation and a right column for pictures all on a grey skin background. Your next page might have much more text and you can decide for the left column navigation but to combine the center and right column into one all on a white background. By shifting between the Change Looks and Layout options you can make each page different from the other. You also have the option of using headers and footers when and where you want.

More Flexibility

If you require more flexibility you can add your own html commands if you are familiar with web design. Simply click the “Edit html” link on the bottom of the GooglePage editor and add whatever you need. If you require any sort of scripting such as Google AdSense tm, you can upload html files and link to them.

Example. You create a page and decide you want to add Google AdSense in the left column. Simply publish the page and view it online in your browser. You can either view the page source or save the file as an html document on your hard-disk. Using a text editor you can then add the AdSense script in the left column and close the file. Go back to your GooglePage editor and upload the xx.htm file from your hard disk. Link to it from existing GooglePage documents and you have a custom page. A small disadvantage at the moment is that you cannot use the GooglePage editor to make changes to the page since the editor will automatically strip out the script. This will change.

Some users of GooglePages have commented that the editor lacks some fundamentals which exist in GoogleBlog. However, it must be remembered that the purpose of GooglePages is a simple way for people to create web pages for free. Plus, GooglePage is still in Beta and like all Google products, under constant review.

How to sign up

You need a Google Mail account (Gmail) to sign up for GooglePage. Currently whatever name you choose for your Gmail account becomes your GooglePage name automatically (Google hints that this will change). For example, if you sign up for a GMial account using John Doe, your free web page will be called johndoe.googlepage.com.

What can you create?

Already users have created clever and artistic personal, business, photo, religious, technical and entertaining web pages. There are also tips in the forums as to how to add AdSense, page counters, video, music and Googlemaps to GooglePage.com. Start today and add yours.

How to Attract an Enormous Flow of Visitors to Your website

Internet Marketing : How to Attract an Enormous Flow of Visitors to Your website

By: Wyatt Lee

Getting visitors to your website is the lifeline of your online business. No visitors, no sales. You may have the biggest and most beautiful diamond in the world, but if not a single soul comes a visiting, then your precious gem will just be sitting there and collecting dust.

In this Internet marketing strategy guide, I will show you 10 really cool ways on how to attract an enormous flow of visitors to your website.

1. Give out free e-zine subscription
You can offer your visitors a free subscription to your e-zine. Publishing your own e-zine is a very hot trend on the Internet right now, so it is very important for you to stay ahead of the game and give something extra in the form of free subscription. You can offer a free gift or free advertising when your visitors subscribe.

2. Offer free content
Offer your visitors free content. But of course, not every free content can do the trick. Your content must be original and up-to-date, so that it will look more attractive to your visitors. You can add an extra incentive by offering them the option to republish some of your free contents in their e-zines or websites, so that anytime they need fresh content, they will flock to your website to get it.

3. Provide free online directory
Create a free online directory on your website. Make your directory interesting to your visitors by including informative e-books, e-zines, website links, etc. The fact is, if the visitors find that your directory is actually a valuable resource to them, then be rest assured that they will come back to your website again and again.

4. Hand out a free e-book to your visitors
Give out a free e-book to each and everyone of your visitors. You can also include your own ad in the e-book and allow other people to give it away. If you don’t have the time or you are simply too lazy to write one, then you can either pay a ghostwriter to write it for you, or ask for permission from other writers to use their articles.

5. Conduct free online courses
You can create a chat room within your website to conduct free online courses. This idea of a live information course will definitely attract curious people to visit your website to see what kind of courses you conduct. And before you know it, you will be known as an expert in your topic of interest.

6. Allow free access to your contest
Tell your visitors that they can enter your contest for free. You will also need to let them know what are the prizes up for grabs, and they should be of some interest or value to them. The visitors who enter your contest will visit your website regularly to check out the results.

7. Offer free software downloads
You can let your visitors download some free software from your website. These software can be in the form of freeware, shareware, demos etc. You can even turn a section of your website into a free software download directory.

8. Provide free online services
Provide your website visitors with free online services. These services can range from search engine submission, to copy writing proof-reading, etc. But do take note that these free services that you are offering should be helpful to your target audience.

9. Provide free consulting
Offer to provide free one-to-one consulting to your website visitors. A very economical way to do this is through email. Your visitors will find this consulting service very valuable and useful, because consultation fees for such one-to-one coaching can be very expensive.

10. Give out free membership to your online club
When visitors come to your website, they would like to see if there is anything that they can belong to. So why not give them free memberships to your online club? As a sweetener, you can always give away a free e-course or free e-zine to your club members only.

De-mystifying Website Traffic Generation

De-mystifying Website Traffic Generation

By: Tabitha Naylor

Internet. Business. Profit. To fully integrate all of these words into a successful equation, you will need another word. Traffic. Every article you will ever find regarding building a successful business will touch on the importance of generating website traffic. Traffic will form the backbone of your business. Always remember that. The day you stop generating traffic to your site is the day your business stops being profitable, and starts being a money pit.

Yes, having a great product is important. And yes, having your company’s internal organization well taken care of is important. But, these are just starting points. Generating high quality traffic, prospects who are interested in your products, information, and/or services, will ultimately determine your business’s success or failure.

If you already have a site, and think that you're getting all the traffic that you need, then it’s time to reconsider. You are dead wrong, and are cheating your business. The internet sales arena is competitive. Only the strong survive. As a general rule of thumb, you should always be striving to be a step ahead of your competition. Increasing your traffic flow should have been done starting yesterday. Not later today, not tomorrow, not next week.

Timing is essential, that’s an old adage known to everyone. But with generating website traffic, you should always be on your toes. Be a day ahead of everyone else. Never think of today and tomorrow as a starting point for making your site traffic laden, it should always have been yesterday.

To assist you in generating more traffic for your site, here are some surefire methods you can utilize today to increase your websites traffic flow.

1) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site...
Submit articles to sites that contain the same subject topics as your website. If you sell car parts, write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach your websites description and services, as well as your websites link. Don’t get too wordy, however. Make it as short and sweet as possible. Just don’t leave out any of the major highlights of your site.

2) Exchange or Trade Links with other sites...
Link exchanging is probably one of the easiest methods of increasing traffic to your website, since each webmaster will benefit from the efforts of the other. When one site features another sites link, this site potentially fuels traffic to the reciprocating website. And vice versa. The efforts are typically doubly beneficial; since it would go without saying that both website owners are trying to generate more traffic to his/her own website. The more links traded with more sites, the more traffic should be expected.

3) Invest in proper advertising with search engines...
Google’s Adwords and Yahoo’s Overture both provide advertising programs that are very popular and assure website traffic. The downside? This surefire way to increase visitors to your website will cost some money. The upside is that you can control your advertising budget. While some would shy away from spending money to increase traffic, it is imperative to do so, since pay per click is a proven method to generate high quality website traffic. Remember, you have to spend money to make money. Trust me, I know how hard it can be to fully embrace this concept. I hate spending money on things that I don’t necessarily know will bring me the outcome I am seeking. But, the sooner you take the plunge, the better off you and your business will be

Lots of webmasters are turning to pay per click advertising system and are enjoying the benefits of increased sales. Do not be left behind. Every penny is worth it, provided you are intelligent in setting up and monitoring your campaign.

4) Use proper keywords or keyword phrases for your sites content....Search engines look for certain keywords that will show up in search results. By having the right keyword and/or keyword phrases on your site, you increase your chances of ranking high in search engine results, which in turn, will maximize your websites exposure. You can easily write your own content. Or, if you lacking the time, and have the money, you could hire someone to do it for you.

5) Join forums and online communities...Capture a market by showing your expertise and credibility. When you build a good foundation for your site, people will trust you and your site. In turn, these people will pass your information on to many other people. Traffic will certainly increase because you are establishing credibility in your particular area of expertise.

The idea behind forums is simple: answer, comment, and ask. With forums, you can leave a link at the bottom of your messages. Don't post a blatant ad when you post on forums, however. It will just be deleted, and you will most certainly tarnish your reputation and the reputation of your website.

Forums are wonderful, in my opinion, since you can always find quality information. People don't tend to give away secrets, but if you have a specific question about a program, software, etc, you can often get a good answer. Not to mention, you can get some exposure for yourself and your site out of it.

6) Offer newsletters... If many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find loyal traffic that can provide you with more traffic by recommendation. If you arouse the curiosity of your customers they would be pushed to help you with your traffic.

Newsletters can be a tremendous amount of work, but, they can also be a valuable resource for you. Not to mention, if it’s a solid newsletter, you can even make a few bucks by allowing others to advertise in it.

7) Use Viral Marketing... Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs (or very low costs, if there are any). This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky; you can attach your company’s name, product or link to a certain media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article, basically anything you can think of. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.

I personally use this method with short free e-books that I write, then give away. I also send daily motivational emails to my lists (for those who opt in, of course). These little messages are just a little inspirational message sent out every morning. There are no sales pitches associated with these email messages. Simple methods like this can mean big results.
