Each market is profitable if you approach it correctly. I mean anyone can set up a website, couple of nice images and pages that look attractive. Then all you have to to do is tell a couple of friends and ?ching, ching? you have people at your site. Your Alexa ranking starts to shoot off. Alexa.com is a website that ranks websites amongst popularity (the lower the number the higher the traffic)? insert the toolbar and you can check your rankings on the Internet and against your competitors.

Anyway, we don't want these types of friendly visits, we want real visitors and people interested and craving for your product or service and would take out their credit card and buy.

How many people can you interest on your street for go-karts? 1 maybe 2? How many can you interest in your town? 50?? In your city? Nationally? Or even better internationally?

World interest is what you want to be after. We are dealing within international markets, globalization at its best! The days are getting to an end, when we walk down the shopping center to do our shopping. We did kill a whole day, but now we have the facility to do it in a couple of clicks in mere seconds. We even pay bills online because we hate standing in long customer service lines!

Millions of people are entering the cyberspace and want to spend money at the confort of their home. No more waiting in line to pay for a book (Amazon), no more wasted hours searching for good deals (eBay) or even more cars are bought and sold nationally (Autotrader).

This isn't something that will end tomorrow, not anymore. Large sites took a beating when they first went live, but now they're holding on their own 2 feet making millions!

Now do you want clients, sometimes crazy ones, that want to buy from you? Do you want everyone coming to you instead of the store next door? Do you want everyone coming to door number 1 or door number 7 on the prestigious block on the net (Google)? Search engine listings are the same. Position number 1 has a neighbor, position number 2. Position 2 also has a neighbor position number 3. Now everyone wants to be at position number 1. The worlds best location for the most business on a prestigious block (Google).

Wouldn't you like that? Residing at number 1 on the most prestigious block in cyberspace? Great feeling ? I should know! You can visit my site at

And, is it a hungry market? People enter the keyword, they see your store at number 1 and millions of people without thinking twice, click. You get a torrent of customers, hundreds, millions, the lot.

Anyway back to reality?

Now a hungry market, doesn't know you exist. So it's our job, more precisely your job to show the world your business, your website. Where do you desire to be? First page of Google with unlimited, global and hungry customers or in the local newspaper where a handful would be interested?

You don't practically have to be Bill Gates or Richard Branson to get on page one. Yet again, they aren't even close. So we are going to make friends with the search engines and give them what they crave, but not only that? we're going to get much more back. Plus some other sneaky techniques that you leverage excessively!

So ? what do they need?

New, quality content! What a bummer, you may say? but don't worry, it's not what you think. Fresh because they are always looking for relevant content in order to take out the spam. Quality is what leaves you there for years to come. Even if your site goes down, your quality content will make its mark on the Internet highway!

I remember submitting a quality article on the Internet, quite some time ago. Got a page one ranking for a very highly competitive keyword, checked back 4 weeks later and the article was placed on over 2,300 websites. Quality content will spread like wildfire, where bad content, will get dropped for sure within 2 months, when Google pays a visit.

People try to be jack of all trades in the Internet marketing world? SEO, backward link finding, programming, designing and many other things that brings a website to life. I on the other hand concentrate on content, search engine content and take note as I did NOT say search engine optimization. I churn out hundreds of articles a month, and my traffic is ?leveraged? purely from it.

So let's go through what the game plan is?

I'm not here to teach you about market research as this area is practically a topic of its own. I know, many go through it in like 5 minutes, but you have to understand what you are getting yourself into. Every market is profitable. Period! Let it mosquitoes, boats, elephants, beds and even water bottles. Well done 50 Cent! So practically you can pick which ever market you feel ?comfortable? with.

Keyword research is essential ? it is the backbone of your company, your website. I don't want you to start on a couple of keywords? I rather you start on several hundred. Shocking? Don't worry, it's not what you think. Everyone can create a 15 page website, the problem comes after the 15 pages especially when they are dumped anywhere and everywhere on the website.

Big sites like about.com, why do you think they rank high in many categories? You spend days crafting and tweaking a webpage to be ranked number 1. Within days, an article gets posted in your niche on about.com and your site is taken from the holding position. You've been informed that you no longer reside at number 1. Why do you think that happens? Is it because of About.com's page rank? Many backward linking pages? Remember it's a brand new article just like your webpage, the only difference is? you are told to relocate.

So you can begin to understand it's also to do with positioning and your location. The better positioned and located your store is, the more business you will get. Same with keywords? only if they are positioned and located properly. To find out what REALLY works on search engine optimization you can visit my site at
