Tags and Keywords
When you’re posting on a blog or on a social networking site, you are probably asked to enter in tags or keywords separated by a comma or by a space. Good web marketers use tags and keywords to their advantage by making sure that the tags that they supply are similar to what their potential…
What is an affiliate link?
You hear it all the time, but do you know what it actually means? An affiliate link is a phrase thrown around a lot now a days, and it is an internet marketing term, I can give you that. You can even make a lot of money out of affiliate links. An affiliate link is…
Careful when looking at affiliate links…
If you are a web savvy internet user, you have probably stumbled across HubPages Hubs or Squidoo Lenses. They usually have at the bottom something like ‘check out this book – it’s excellent and I give it 5 stars out of 5!’. It will usually have something to do with the content you just looked…
Paying for Traffic?
If you are getting paid by a paid by performance article publication company, it’s very tempting to pay for some advertising space on Google AdWords or a pay per click website like bux.to (where workers get paid cents every time they view an advertisement).

You’ve probably seen those ‘get paid to’ web sites that offer you rewards such as Amazon gift certificates (electronic ones, of course) in exchange for your time. I don’t go near these ‘get paid to’ (click, read emails, etc.) any way, as I don’t believe that they give high enough pay outs, but if you…
Bookmarklets
Have you ever noticed how your Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browser is scattered with links at the top? You should have some links such as ‘free Hotmail’ on Internet Explorer and on Mozilla Firefox something like ‘Getting Started’ and ‘Latest Headlines’. Found this spot? Great. Here’s how you can use these to your advantage…
Establishing an online presence
If you’re doing the web marketing thing, you are definitely going to need to establish an online presence, or reputation. To do this, I would seriously recommend setting up a personal web site to promote yourself, and not your products (you can link to your products if you like, but don’t push them too hard)….
