Test different prices in your sales

You could raise or lower the price in your ad copy. A higher price could increase the perceived value of your product and a lower price could lessen your product's value. Either way, you need to test which price will pull the most orders. Another idea would be to use an odd number like $19.46 instead of $19.99, $19.95 or $19.97. It makes it look like there is a specific reason you priced it like that.

Work at Home Online Surveys - Is it for You?

Making money taking online surveys - Is it viable? Will it work for you? You've all probably seen the offers on the web and wondered about them.

The answer to the above two questions is yes. With a little judicious screening and common sense, you can make extra income or even a full time career out of online surveys.

1. What are online surveys? Online surveys are simply companies using you to get feedback on the products they sell - they pay you for your opinions.

2. What do I need to participate? You need a computer. Some companies send you out as a "stealth shopper" to test the food and service at restaurants, or the products and service at clothing stores, shoe stores etc. (The choices are as various as the types of retail stores.) In these cases of course, it would help to have access to transportation also. Some companies pay you to watch their movie trailers. Some pay you to take telephone surveys. A T.V., VCR, and telephone are necessary in these cases. Some online survey companies offer data entry too. All these offers are lumped together under the "online survey" categories by many of these companies. Most companies require you to be at least eighteen years old, also.

3. How much money can I make? Companies can pay 5 to 75 dollars per survey. Online focus groups can pay 50 to 150 dollars an hour. (You can be paid to try new products - and then keep the products afterwards.) You can be paid 4 to 25 dollars an hour to watch movie trailers, 10 to 40 per hour to shop and eat. For driving a new car you can make 3,200 dollars a month, and for taking a telephone survey, 120 dollars an hour can be earned. You can be paid to travel and paid to set appointments also. Each company varies a bit in its pay scale.

4. How many companies are scams? As with any industry, there is fraud in online survey work. As I stated in previous articles, do a little homework and use a little common sense. The Clickbank.com scores are helpful research tools. Pay particular attention to the $/sale (Dollars earned per sale) statistic. It tells you what an affiliate should earn per sale from the online survey product being offered. But it will also tell a savvy potential customer how many of the units of the program were returned by customers. To figure this, determine the cost of the program, next determine the affiliate commission rate by looking at the %/sale (commission) stat. If the online survey program sold for 100 dollars, (None are ever that expensive, though.) and the commission rate is 75%, but the $/Sale stat is 30 dollars, too many programs are being returned by unsatisfied customers. Also the Grav (Gravity) stat shows how popular an item the product is on Clickbank. Look for things like money-back guarantees, that all reputable companies should offer. Expect exaggeration and hyperbole in some of the ad copy. No, you won't make a million dollars a minute in online home survey work, but a good living can be made if you approach the work systematically, and with determination. You will get out of it what you put into it.

5. What's the downside? Working at home for oneself is not for everybody. You have to be a self-starter. You have to know how to focus on the task without prompting, and you can't allow yourself to be easily distracted by at-home concerns.

6. What are the benefits? Aside from the money, work at home online surveys allow you to set your own hours, decide how little or how much you want to earn, and be in complete control of your work environment. You don't need special training or expertise, and the company gives you any rules or guidelines you'll need for the work.

Online work at home surveys are becoming a billion dollar industry with hundreds of thousands of students, moms, retirees, and just plain rat-race drop outs earning good income from these survey companies. Is it for everyone? Probably not. But if you are in the above category, it may well be worth a look.

How To Get Your Website To The Top Of Google And All Major Search Engines Fast

You have probably just built a new website, submitted it to search engines and are now waiting wondering where all the visitors are that are going to put hundreds of dollars into your bank account. A few weeks pass by and you are still left wondering where all your website traffic is. Your website is open for business but no-one seems to know about it.

If this situation sounds familiar to you then you have probably thought about giving up and thowing the whole thing away. This is NOT what you should do and this is not how your website is going to rank high in the search engines.

There is one critical first step that you must follow when creating any website. This crucial first step involves picking the best keywords for your on page optimization and the only way you can decide which keywords will get you the highest rankings for your website is by doing some research.

Your first point of call must be at one or all of the following online keyword research tools:

http://www.goodkeywords.com
http://www.digitalpoint.com
http://www.overture.com
http://www.wordtracker.com

All of these tools are free (there is a free trial for Wordtracker); however, where Wordtracker differes from the other websites mentioned above is it shows you how competitive your keywords are compared to other websites. The higher the KEI analysis number the less competitive the keyword phrase is and the easier it should be to get a high ranking with that chosen keyword.

In Goodkeywords you type in your chosen niche topic. For argument sake we will use the example camping. Goodkeywords will bring up the top 100 keywords related to campming that were searched in the last month. On the right the number of times that keyword has been displayed appears for the last 30 days. It is absolutely critical that you do NOT start on page optimization of your home page for keywords at the very top of the list. Before you think I'm crazy there is a very good reason for this and that is if a certain keyword high on the list is searched that many hundreds of thousands of times you will have an almost impossible time to get noticed between all the other hundreds or millions of competitive websites that are also targeting that same keyword. For this reason alone do not start off optimizing your website for the keyword camping.

Let me go back a minute to show how competite the word camping is. If I go to Google and enter camping I find that there are 230 million other websites targeting the same phrase. It is always best to start of targeting keywords that have the least competitive keywords as possible. Once you start getting traffic from search engines with your main keywords you may then start targeting more competitive phrases.

Using the online tools I've mentioned above it's easy to find a few less competitive phrases that can be a good base for our on page website optimization related to camping.

It is also important to repeat the same research process by going to Google and seeing how competitve your chosen keywords are. I will start with the keyword and take a few minutes to analyse the number 1 website for that keyword on Google.

It is also critical to analyze what the page rank is of the number 1 website for your chosen keyword. Page rank is used by Google in ranking websites and generally the more links that you have pointing back to your website by other websites the higher your Google page rank will be. Download the Google toolbar for free to find out what your page rank is and the page rank of other websites at http://toolbar.google.com

Now we need to do a little spying on the website that has number one for that keyword. We do that by looking at the HTML code or source code of their website. Go to that website url and click on View and then Source. That website's HTML code will appear in a notepad file. That file contains what the web page will look like when "read" by search engine robots. This trick will show you exactly what on page optimization is being used to rank so highly in the search engines.

Search engine optimization involve both on page and off page optimization. In this article I am focusing on on page optimization. I will deal with off page optimization in more detail at another time.

Now when we view the source code we want to look at the header tags for a start. Do you see h1 at the very top of the source code. If not then that's a bonus. If you do then it is important to make a note of what words they are using for their heading 1.

The next thing you need to look at is title. What is the title that they are using. This should appear immediately below the head tag. It is also important to make a note of the keywords that they are using in the title. The less words you actually have in your title the better. It is also critical that your main keyword or keyword phrase is in your title too.

Now take a moment to check out the keywords that they are using in the meta tags and make a note of them. Use the same keywords they use, check out the keywords that they have used in their description. Make a note of their description. A good guide for you is to repeat your main keyword or keyword phrase two or three times in the description but obviously in a way that makes sense.

Look at their webpage to find out if they have bolded, underlined or italicised their main keywords. If they have then you know that you need to do the same thing to achieve high rankings for your chosen keyword. If you have trouble looking for these codes in the notepad file simply look at the webpage itself.

One more thing to look out for in their source code is wehther they have optimized their images for the chosen keyword. For example, some website images will simply have bigebook.jpg as the name of their image but have not used alternative text. An example of an alternative text would be home made dog treat ecover.

Just following a few of these very simple SEO techinques and strategies will greatly increase your rankings in the search engines. To ensure you get the highest possible search engine rankings that you can it's absolutely critical that you spend a little time finding out search engine optimization secrets of the professionals. Fortunately affordable small business seo techniques and help is readily available if you know where to look.
