The next GDI?

I've joined a network that is helping average people become the media. They are evening paying people to be a part of it. It's called PyraBang.Com, and what they have come up with is quite revolutionary!

It is a paradigm shift that makes advertiser controlled media obsolete! Advertisers are paid to promote legitimate products or services. Our members can invest in that advertising to increase it's circulation! Faulty products, un-reliable services and companies that "pull one over" on the public can’t survive in this system!

Q. Who is going to pay people to advertise to them?

A. PyraBang pays you up to 5000% to pay other people to get their message out!

Members advertise information not just products and services. They pay members to view information from other members. If someone views information, they pay 1/10 of a cent to the advertiser and make $12 per member who joins the network!

I know, this sounds confusing and I actually didn't 'get it' at first. But trust me on one thing: The compensation program is excellent. It's right up there with GDI (http://www.website.ws/rustylshelton) and TrafficWave (http://www.trafficwave.net/members/rustyshelton/matrix.html ).

The two most important things about Pyrabang are:

1) It actually has utility - i.e. the tool itself is great for Internet Marketing (Just like GDI & TrafficWave)

2) It is new and fresh. Those that earned true fortunes in GDI over the last couple of years were the ones who got in early, before the masses knew about it. Pyrabang is like that right NOW.


You need to go ahead and join up, even if it's just a free account. Please allow me to sponsor you into the network by clicking the link below:

Or you can simply put rustylshelton in the "invitation code" field of the sign-up box on the front page. I think that you'll find this to be very, very interesting...

Free Targeted Website Traffic

Any time I hear the phrase 'Free website traffic', the first thing that comes to mind are traffic exchanges (which I actually like) and/or viral programs that run ads on your site in exchange for running your ad on someone else's site. But I just found something damned clever and original called 'Lead Gusher'. This web site can help you get lots of traffic from search engines using the exact keywords and phrases that relate to your business.

Best of all, the system is 100% FREE for you to use, and it's easy.

http://www.LeadGusher.com/r/rustyshelton/homepage.html


###################

Here's how this thing works:

###################

You supply some basic info: Your business name, your website URL, some short ad text, and a few keywords that relate to your business. The Lead Gusher program then takes this and creates a special "portal" for you that acts as SUPER search-engine bait. What I'm talking about is a unique website, hosted FOR you, that is a self-regenerating SEO machine. It never stops working for you and your business.

Your site is filled with real time, up-to-the-minute content that search engines love, like recent blog posts and news that is generated based on your specific business and the keywords you choose. Since the page is CONSTANTLY updated with relevant content, the search engines keep coming back, and the pages rank very high for visitors searching for the exact stuff you're offering!

YOUR ad and a link to your site appears prominently on the page, and that's where YOUR traffic comes from.

################

Isn't technology sweet?

################

The system is free, and it's got a few built-in extras that can earn you some additional cash. You just have to plug them in when you are signing up.

The main one includes a popular free-to-join affiliate program (GDI), and a lucrative Viral Coop JV program, which pays you daily for any referrals. If you are already in GDI, great. If you have no interest in GDI, it doesn't matter and won't affect the performance of your Lead Gusher portal site. If you don't even know what GDI is or would like to check it out, you can do so here:

GDI is easy to join and it's a core component of my 30-Day Success System (see upper right corner of this page).


Once you take 5 minutes to set all this up, it can be left alone to run on complete autopilot if you choose to do nothing more. When you're ready to start turning on the free traffic with your own custom Lead Gusher site, you can go here to set it up:

This is really a great idea. I wish I'd thought of it! Check it out for yourself because I know you'll be impressed.

AdWords Trick - Dynamic Keyword Insertion

Many pay per click advertisers are now using dynamic keyword insertion in their ad copy. Many, however are no getting the most out of this trick because they do not understand the capitalization techniques. The way you use capitalization in your keyword insertion command will directly affect the capitalization in the ad that appears. Here are some ways to control capitalization in your keyword insertion ads.

Lets say a user is searching "ten golden rules". Here is how it will look using different keyword insertion capitalization variations:

If your ad uses this command: {keyword:Internet Marketing}, the ad will read "ten golden rules". (no capitalization)

If your ad uses this command: {Keyword:Internet Marketing}, the ad will read "Ten golden rules". (only the first letter of the first word is capitalized)

If your ad uses this command: {KeyWord:Internet Marketing}, the ad will read "Ten Golden Rules". (the first letter of each word is capitalized)

If your ad uses this command: {KEYWORD:Internet Marketing}, the ad will read "TEN GOLDEN RULES". (all letters are capitalized)

In most cases, it is best to capitalize the first letter of each word (KeyWord:). Play around with some different variations and see how they work for your campaign.

Why Use An Autoresponder?

If your goal is to earn extra income online or to develop a full-time, online business, then you are going to have to learn all about email marketing.

Too many people link the words 'email marketing' with 'spam' and so hesitate to use email ads in order to expand their new affiliate marketing programs. Either that, or they simply don't know what to do or how to do it. In fact, as I first began to grow my own multi-tiered affiliate marketing businesses, I found that the number one obstacle to rapid growth in these programs was that my referrals simply didn't know what to do next after joining. That's a big problem, actually - and it's still a challenge today!

So, to that end, I took a look at my chosen MLM affiliate programs and decided to 'marry them together' by creating a plan - and especially a set of tools - that anyone can use to do the exact same things that I do every day. One absolutely essential tool for online business building is your autoresponder. It's the foundation of everything that you will do with Internet marketing. The autoresponder that I use is TrafficWave.net:

http://www.trafficwave.net/members/rustyshelton

TrafficWave is a core component of my 30-Day Success System (see the upper right corner of this page) and for good reason. It has everything that you will need when it comes to a toolbox for email marketing. But more than that (and this is the best part!), it is also a sizzling, red-hot MLM affiliate business. My philosophy is that everything you do online should be geared toward earning money. With that attitude, I'm not just going to use any autoresponder. I'm picking one for a reason. One of the primary reasons for choosing Trafficwave was (and is) the affiliate program. It's simply wonderful.

But in any downline-building business, the question everybody asks, is: How MUCH do I get paid?

That's the question that you need to have a very good answer for when talking to potential referrals - and that's why my 100%, without a doubt, FAVORITE program is TrafficWave. Not only do I use & recommend it, but it's all about the Affiliate Program. Check this out:

TrafficWave's three part compensation plan is a work of art!

Part I is a basic 3 X 10 matrix that pays out a residual $6.00 per person on your first level and $1.00 per person down an additional nine(9) levels. A whole lot of network marketing people just love matrix-type comp plans because of the "spillover" effect and TEAM concept.

Part II is a "Fast Track" Bonus. The first month you sponsor a new pro member, you'll receive a 100% commission on the new member's first month's membership fee! This is an incredibly important feature.

Finally, Part III of the Trafficwave compensation plan is a Leadership Bonus (paid in addition to your other bonuses!) whereby you can earn up to 50% of the commissions earned by the pro members you've personally sponsored!

Nice program, huh!?

Look, there are other auto-responders out there. I know that. But TrafficWave is the TOTAL PACKAGE. It's a complete, self-contained business and you've just gotta' trust me: The advertising co-op is awesome. It filled my #1 matrix level the first month I was a member.

Folks, for some people, online marketing is nothing more than a hobby. Deep down, they're not really serious about it. It's why they fail. Want a hobby? Collect stamps, catch butterflies or glue macaroni on things. This is a business. And of everything I do online, the one program that I use the most and pays me the most is TrafficWave. And you want to know the best part? It's the most complete and affordable, stand-alone business on the web right now. There's nothing better. TrafficWave isn't fancy. There's no glitz. There's no glamor. It's kind of a plain vanilla, brown, paper wrapper sort of thing. It just WORKS.

If you're not an active member yet, come in - take the plunge and start running your new business right now, today. It's the best thing you'll ever do for yourself and your family.

Customer Reviews & Its Effectiveness

I'm the type of person who does a lot of research on a certain product, restaurant, book or movie before I buy, and I believe that consumer reviews are the most valuable information, next to the actual product. Reviews allow new customers to ease into becoming more comfortable with the potential product or service they are considering investing in.

There are many websites that allow you to add a review about your business, and it's best to let your customers know about these sites so they can return the favor by writing up an honest review. For local businesses, I am a big fan of Yelp.com, which has become popular with local restaurants, but you can basically review any type of business under the blue sky.

A great way for customers to leave testimonials for your business is to direct them straight to the review website, whether it is a link in a thank you email, confirmation page, or in a prominent area on your website.

Other popular websites to view and write consumer reviews are:
Merchant Circle
CitySearch
Google Maps - easiest if you already have a Google Account
InsiderPages
Judy's Book
Kaboodle

Of course, it's best to take any review written with a grain of salt, since anyone can create reviews.
