Site Build It Founder Interview Podcast

If you're interested in a "quick start" Internet business for making money online, I recommend the affiliate program for Site Build It!.

Listen to this rare and exclusive podcast interview with Dr. Ken Evoy, the founder of the company, to learn why. 

I have long recommended Site Build It! as an e-commerce web site solution for solopreneurs and small business owners looking to get their first web site started.  But the Site Build It! affiliate program offers an additional money-making opportunity. 

Like most affiliate programs, joining SBI's "5 Pillar Club" is fre-e.  And the company offers a huge selection of resources to help you profitably promote its products, both online and off-line. WARNING:  I know that this podcast may sound a bit like a commercial for SBI.  I apologize for that.  But their affiliate program really is a good opportunity (I am an affiliate and have personally made thousands of dollars as an SBI affiliate!).  It is the only one like it that I have found.  This interview should help you understand why I recommend it so highly.

Listen to SiteSell Founder and Chairman, Ken Evoy, and Scott Fox discuss:

• How a problem-solving approach is the foundation for any online business success

• Why search drives business success today

• What you can do on your web site to make monetization easy

• Why cheap web site hosting deals are no bargain

• Learn how 62% of Site Build It! web site owners rank in the top 3% of their search results

Whether you're interested in Site Build It! or not, this interview (and the fr-ee Site Build It! affiliate training) is full of great fre-e ways to learn more about making better money online. 

If you're interested in learning more about Site Build It!, here are some additional resources:

• My review of Site Build It! for startups and small business use is here.

• SiteBuildItAffiliateReview.com: A site where I have posted a bunch of affiliate links and resources about SBI.

• Special Report: "Site Build It! The Best Instant Internet Business for You" is my latest Special Report.  It details the affiliate marketing success strategies that help me convert Site Build It purchasers at 20% or greater rates!  This new Special Report is available for purchase here or (heavily discounted!) as part of the the Instant Internet Business Secrets training program for just two more weeks. 

How about you?  Have you tried Site Build It! yet?

How to Think Like A Search Engine

If you could think like a search engine, you'd know exactly how to optimize your web site to attract the most free visitor traffic, right? 

But how do search engines work?  At least for me, understanding how a thing works is helpful to learning how to use it most effectively.  So here's my "plain English" explanation of how search engines work.

Here's the trick:  Search engines can’t really “see” your web site.

Search engines don’t really “read” your web pages at all.

What search engines do is really more accurately described as “pattern matching”. Search engine bots and crawlers visit your web site to look for words and phrases that match those already in their databases. Ensuring that your web site displays its keywords in the right places can greatly improve your search engine optimization.

To collect all this data, the Google software “crawler” or “bot” clicks around the Web just like human users do, from link to link to link.

By applying the hundreds of criteria in the Google web site ranking algorithm to each web page’s content, the system attempts to determine whether the page is a “good” result for a query containing any specified set of keywords.  It also devalues or even penalizes sites that do not meet its quality criteria.

Then the search engine uses what it finds on  your web site to file your web site in the appropriate categories for retrieval when a user enters a search on those topics.

For example: if a user visits Google and types in the search query “Where can I get cheap auto parts”, the search engine goes to work.

It eliminates the overly common words like “can”, “I” and “get” to focus on the key words contained in the query, “cheap”, and “auto parts”. Then it examines its huge database of web sites worldwide and displays back to the user those web sites it judges to offer the most relevant information about the words “cheap auto parts.”

There’s no actual “thinking” taking place, the computer is just matching the key words and phrases it detects in the user’s query to the entries in its database of web sites.

This example demonstrates the importance of keyword selection and placement on your own web site. Keywords and their placment on your web site are the key to successful search engine optimization because they are what the search engines "read."

More than pretty graphics, more than your extensive product selection, and more even than your site’s great prices, it’s this basic match of keywords between the user’s request and how the search engine has cataloged your web site that most directly determines where your web site appears in search engine rankings.

1. To succeed at SEO, you need to determine your web site’s core offerings and find the key words and phrases that best encapsulate it.
2. Then reorganize your web site and marketing efforts to maximize the exposure of those keywords on your site and in links back to your site from other web sites.

That's how you can "think like a search engine" to improve your search engine optimization and attract more fr-ee traffic online.

Did that make sense?  Not so complicated after all, right?  Please let me know what you think in the comments below. 

This is an excerpt from "Free SEO in Plain English", the latest Special Report in my Instant Internet Business Secrets e-commerce success subscription training series.  If you liked this "plain English" approach to how search engines really work, you should check out the other 70+ pages of this report!  In this exclusive Report, I detail the how, what, and why of meta tags, link exchanges, anchor text, keyword selection, and all the tricks of the SEO trade that you need to know.  (And it includes plenty of screenshots to help you see what I'm talking about, too!)

I hope that you can use this Special Report excerpt to better understand search engines yourself, and then put these principles to work to attract more visitor traffic to your web site.

Free SEO in Plain English Report!

"Free SEO in Plain English" is the new topic for this month's Instant Internet Business Secrets program.  IIBS Subscribers like YOU voted and "search engine optimization" came out as the most-requested topic.

I think that SEO is a great topic choice for this month's Special Report package.  With over 1.5 billion people online today, the search engines should be your site's #1 source of fr-ee traffic because they help all those buyers and sellers to find each other. 

By better positioning your e-business web site in the search engine rankings, your site can attract its share of these millions of potential customers, too.  And the search engine optimization techniques I recommend are all fr-ee!

SEO Overcomplicated by Consultants
Unfortunately, search engine optimization is often overcomplicated by SEO consultants.  It is technical but the basics are really not that difficult to understand. 

So, I wrote this Report so you won't be intimidated by SEO any more!

If you subscribe to the Instant Internet Business Secrets program, you'll see that this month's package reveals:

- The simple, fre-e techniques I have personally used to rank #1 on Google for multiple web sites

- How to find the best keywords to promote your business online

- The key signals and signs that your web site needs to alert the search engines for proper categorization and top rankings

- F-r-ee tools you can use to diagnose and improve your site's SEO problems

- How to find and implement the best link exchanges to improve your site's SEO

Plus, lots of "plain English" explanations (and screenshots) on more technical topics like keyword density, meta tags, anchor text, and other critical topics for SEO success.

This month's "F-ree SEO in Plain English" IIBS subscribers-only package will save you a lot of money AND make you a better online marketer.

More details here...

Update:  The "Free SEO in Plain English" Special Report package is not free but the techniques it teaches for SEO improvement are free.  You must subscribe to the Instant Internet Business Secrets program to access the Report and accompanying materials.  (That IIBS subscription currently costs only $19.95/month. It's a great deal and comes with a 100% money-back guarantee, too.  Grab it now before the price goes up again!)

The Votes are In! SEO wins!

Search engine optimization is a complicated topic.  Everyone knows that improving search engine rankings can dramatically increase your web site traffic, and therefore your sales.

Would you like to learn more about SEO but in "plain English"? 

Instant Internet Business Secrets subscribers would!  They voted for "Free SEO in Plain English" as the new topic for this month's exclusive Instant Internet Business Secrets subscriber package. 

Stay tuned!  This new Special Report will help you unravel the mysteries of SEO and learn how to increase your web site's traffic with dozens of FRE-EE SEO techniques.

It will be available on Tuesday 1/20! 

Last Call.

This is the LAST CALL for my Special Report "How to Make Money with Affiliate Marketing." 

Affiliate programs were the topic of the 1st month of my new Instant Internet Business Secrets program.  If you want to learn more about how to make money online, this Special Report package about affiliate programs is for you. 

Subscribers receive not only that 100+ page report, but also access to me through a live Q&A teleseminar (which will be held next week) to ask followup questions about affiliate marketing. 

Plus, a downloadable MP3 of my interview with a top affiliate marketing expert, a Quick Start resources list, AND the opportunity to VOTE on the topic for next month!

This is a real deal for only $19.95 but this is LAST CALL.  As of Wednesday night, this great package will no longer be available.  The report alone will go on sale for $65.00 in the Scott Fox Shop (and the teleconference access is worth far more than the price alone).

If you're interested in affiliate marketing, you need to join and download these exclusive materials by Wednesday night!

Please step up now to subscribe to Instant Internet Business Secrets.  Thanks.
