My Top Internet Marketing Tactics For 2009<\/b><\/p>\n


\nAs I close out my 10th year of marketing online, I thought
\nit would prove helpful if I listed my most effective online
\nmarketing techniques or tactics for last year. Most of
\nthese marketing techniques you may or may not know
\nthem… but they have worked for me and there’s no reason
\nwhy they can’t work for you.

\n
\n1. Going for the Double Whammy<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nI discovered long ago that it is much, much, much
\neasier to get TWO sites in the top five in Google
\nthen it is to get one site in those top listings.
\nThat is: instead of just getting one site listed,
\ntry to get two of your closely related sites ranked
\nfor the same keyword phrase. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Both sites will compliment each other and raise each
\nother’s rankings in Google. It takes more time to
\nbuild and promote two sites, but the rewards are well
\nworth it.

If you find building two sites is too daunting a task
\nfor you – try using two different pages on your site
\nto rank for the same keyword phrase, that way you can
\nget that all important double listing for your phrase
\nin Google. Some marketers are extremely ambitious and get
\ntwo pages listed for each of their sites – thus having 4
\nor more listings in the top spots.

\nAnd as a marketing strategy from the very beginning
\nI picked the Internet marketing field, mainly because
\nI would be competing against the top sites and marketers
\nwho knew exactly how to market online. This stiff
\ncompetition keeps me on my toes and in the game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Get Triple or More Listings For The Same Keyword<\/b>
\n
\nAlong those same lines, for a very profitable keyword
\nphrase I try to get at least three listings on the
\nfirst page. This is not hard to do for low-to-medium
\ncompetitive keywords, a little harder for really
\ncompetitive keywords.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Besides building multiple sites, I leverage the high
\nranking power of such sites as Ezinearticles, Buzzle,
\nPromotionWorld, SiteProNews… to get my articles\/content
\nlisted on the first page of Google. I know this is an
\nindirect route or listing but traffic coming from those
\nsites and my articles are of the highest quality and
\nconverts very well.<\/p>\n

They have traveled thru my marketing funnels:
\n
\nGoogle – Ezinearticles – My Content – My Site<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nSimilarly, getting Blog, News and Video listings for your
\nkeywords on Google’s first page will enable you to capture
\nmore of given daily traffic to your keyword phrases.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n3. The Simple SEO Power of the Press Release<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of my newest and one of my most effective marketing
\nstrategies this year has been the simple Press Release.
\nI use PRWEB, which can be expensive since I like to
\nadd videos to my releases and I always get the highest price
\npackage. I also bid up my Release so that it is the top listing
\non the PRWEB homepage for that day.
\n
\n(Major Marketing Tip: Might seem obvious but getting that
\ntop spot in any listing, whether it be Google, PRWEB or any
\nlist simply means you get most of the attention and traffic.
\nAlways aim for that top spot!)<\/b><\/p>\n

This makes my News Releases more effective and they get
\npicked up and are placed on more sites. Again, bit costly
\nbut the SEO benefits are worth it because you can place anchor
\ntext links in your releases… these releases and links get
\npicked up by closely related sites.<\/p>\n

But News Releases don’t have to be costly, you can use
\nfree News Release services on the web – just google to
\nfind these top free sites. I also like using the free Press
\nRelease services offered through Idealmarketers and Ezinearticles.<\/p>\n


\n4. Article Marketing<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nYes, I know this is an old marketing technique but it is
\nstill my most effective tactic I use on the web. Just write
\nsimple helpful “How-To” articles on the subject of your
\nsite. Place these all over the web by using the free article
\ndirectory sites.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Use your main keyword phrase in the title of the article
\nand in the resource box at the end of each article. Also,
\ninclude the main benefit for the reader in this link back to your
\nsite. Place your targeted keywords in the anchor text (clickable part)
\nof the link. Use variations of your keyword phrase so you won’t
\nbe keyword spamming.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Social Bookmarking Sites<\/b><\/p>\n


\nSince they are growing in importance on the web, I have
\nstarted using social media sites such as FaceBook,
\nMySpace, YouTube, Blogger, Twitter… in my online marketing.
\nI have told you about the ADDTHIS Button hundreds of times before
\nbut I just have to mention it again because it has brought
\nme hundreds, if not thousands of backlinks over the last year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
