News about the SEO contest

As I write that I follow a SEO contest, so now I'll write a bit about the news from the SEO contest.

After more than a week observing the development of SEO contest that I follow, I find that the search engine results for keywords that are used, namely Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 is very dynamic. In the sense like, if I write Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 on search engine and search engine results will vary from day to day. A site that does not have up to 2 days in the order of 10 results, the best 10 position of the search engine results will vary each day. I think this is very interesting because it's the first time I participate in SEO contests such as this, then I am also a little surprised and impressed because the best 10 position is so dynamic in the search engine results.

Then how about my site that participated in this contest, including whether the position in 10 of these? The answer is of course not ! Of course can not compete with them because my site is still new-made, only 1 week of age, so a correct theory of SEO that search engines can index a new site within 3 or 4 months if the site has strived for the friendly with search engines. I'm not disappointed even though my site has not been indexed by the search engine. There is still a few more months until the end of the contest to optimize my site to be indexed quickly.

But clearly, whatever the result later, if I get a position in the best 10 or not, not a big problem for me because my main goal is just practice the theory I've learned.

If you get tired.

Learning internet marketing is a matter that is not easy as I write in my posts earlier. Sometimes we have saturation in the search for materials written in the site, sometimes we have difficulties to find a suitable affiliate program for us to run or we sometimes feel tired because it does not appear visible results that are currently online business we run and other things like that. Are you a beginner in the online business experience things like that? If your answer is "YES" then you have a internet marketing talent and if your answer is "NO" then you should start looking for other opportunities or other hobbies because the internet marketing is not suitable for you.

As I experienced today, I already feel saturated material to explore this site because of how difficult composing sentences in the English language, known of English is less good. This is the biggest problem for me. If the problem is already up to here then I want to stop it. It's already tired.

But this morning, when I surf on the internet, I find a wise sentence intuitively and bring a new spirit for me, that sentence is "It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop." like a bird released from the traps to be able to fly high, that is the picture of my soul when I thoroughly understand the meaning of the sentence. Yes, a sentence that contains very best meaning for me.

Reminded me with the goal, the goal in the first place when I decided to learn. Such as get advice from my own father. Give spirit to rise again. That I still have jobs to be done. That I still have to go through a very long way to be able to be as I want. That I am still in a mountain valley right now and mountain peak is the end of my destination. Well, the road that is still very very long and heavy I have to skip.

But now I feel better already because of the wise get advice "It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop." Do you feel tired too?

I have a new habit.

Since I started learning to internet marketing better then I have to change my habits daily. I now have to be more prudent to set up a limited time to work activities, manage the house, especially my husband and our son and of course I have to have the time to learn! This is not an easy thing to be a housewife who still have jobs outside the home like me. This is the challenge I face now!

Since wake up in the morning, I have to start preparing breakfast for my husband and our child, prepare myself to get to work to the office that located a half hour trip from home by a motorcycle. Return to home after 8 hours work outside, the body is quite tired but still have to take the our son and so on until late at night. Can you imagine how busy my life in the day-to-day isn't it? But it still must be added again with my new habit is to learn internet marketing. Yes, this is my first challenge, should be more discipline and spent the time effectively, run household normally in one side while I should be able to learn internet marketing that I learned with the learning itself in other side. Well, is not easy to do...

What should I do so that activities can I walk better?
First, I make a commitment with my husband so that he can understand my new habit, and I ask him to support me in this matter because what I do now is for the sake of our household in the future. Although the results isn't necessarily appear in one or two years but this effort must be remain. And my husband supports me in this matter. This is a good thing and very important!
Second, the next step is to learn internet marketing itself. I usually study at the time which our child is sleeping or if I had not the night I wake up in the morning around 2 or 3 hours early to start learning. And this has begun to shape my overall ease and change old habit patterns. One thing is very new and I love it!

Results from the new habits that I have is I can to make the site better, get much more information about a business online and our family relationship is running normally. And my target in next 2 or 3 months is I should have a business online with affiliate programs that bring benefit to me. I hope all went well.

My wish.

Seeing the success of others in the online business is the reason for me to learn more seriously. How does not, you try to imagine, they are not working for others, they are free to work without time bounding, they are free to disclose the idea in their site, they are the people who have real freedom.

Learn internet business is not an easy thing to do for people who are new to the internet like me. But is not possible to be done if I have the pattern of thought as a internet marketer. An internet marketer paradigm is businessman minded, does not see obstacles as problems but see difficulties as challenges to be done. A paradigm that is different from most people.

Changing thought patterns is not as easy as it be, it takes time and discipline. In this case take the time to handle techniques of making a site, take the time to socialize the site and other things related to it. And for me it can be beaten in 1 or 2 years. The time period that is not short.

These things are challenges to one side of the self not to mention the challenges from outside for example does not have support from family as they consider the work as the internet marketer is full-tosh work, the work to remove any time without any results from the work and many other things such that. However, I should not be affected by matters such as these. I have made a decision and I have to work in accordance with my decision, whatever happens I have to be overcome.

Well friend, what about you? As a beginner, whether you also have the same thoughts as me? Or you have any other thoughts?

How to prevent incoming unwanted email ?

Have you received an email that is not known who the author is, offering a product or other things that you do not want it? If it happens once or twice in the last 3 months, you may not feel disturbed, but what if it happens often? Surely you are not irritated? Well, below are some tips that you can try to avoid from such emails.

1. Do not respon.
Most of the spam email contains a link that says "if you want to unsubsribe, please click the link below". Well, I suggest don't ever click such links, because anybody who send the spam email will know that your email address still active ! As a result, you will get another spam emails. So, do not click as much as possible if there is any spam email, or remove it from your spam box immediately.

2. Don't make just one email address.
If you like to discuss in the forums on the internet, forums are usually ask you to write your email address as a condition of entry to the forum. Use your second email address to register, so if you are bored with the discussion in the forum and want to quit but lazy or forgot to unsubscribe then you do not interfere if there is an email from them because they are only know your second email address.So your ultimate email address is still free from emails such as those.

3. Radical step.
The meaning is that you already receive too many spam emails and have tired to unsubscribe in every email, but spam messages did not stop. So an easy and fast alternative is forget your email address, don't use anymore. Make a new one and retrieve a list of your contact from old email address moved to a new email address and lets your contacs to know that you will use your new email address from now and so on.

Up to here tips from me, it is not related to SEO, internet marketing such as keywords for this site but only as a distraction so that you not bored with my writings.

But all these questions and doubts will slowly disappear if I start a business online with a determination that I must be! Yes, that's only my willpower! I certainly could at any time soon. I have the willpower to do online business and what I need so that my primary goal is to live from the online business can be realized?

First, I realize that online business is serious business that means I should not be indiscriminate. I have to share time to continue to be able to understand the online business, you try to observe how much of this online business is experiencing a failure? because they are not considered 100% online business is a serious job. Since the beginning I have a plan, action and evaluation, if I got failed in a business online.

However, to answer the second question, if I have increased skills in making the site. The answer is YES even though the site isn't the world-class skill, but my site is enough to make sizable if compared to some months ago. This is my results in studying the site design.

Autoresponder as a mandatory tool for online business

After I wrote about the importance of market research to get a business idea, so now I will discuss one of the components required in the online business. For an internet marketer, autoresponder is one of the important tools that can not be ignored. We often hear the expression "money is in the list". That's right, and one component in building and managing the list is a reliable autoresponder. And as a beginner in internet marketing, autoresponder service is seen as a relatively expensive cost.

Indeed, there are some free autoresponder services such as web-based Sendfree or FreeAutoBot, but these services have limitations such as the existence of third-party ad supplied by the service, the limitations in the number of subscriber, and of course the effect is less professional.

There are also some software or script stand-alone that we can install on your own hosting so it does not need to issue a monthly fee to subscribe. However, it is suitable for those who know about the PHP code or MySQL database, it is not suitable for beginners like me. Then what should be done by beginners online business?

Finally, the option will fall on the autoresponder service provider that has been proven reliable and used by many online business. Two among the most popular and the market rule autoresponder is Aweber (and fanchisenya) and Getresponse. There are also others such as EmailAce etc. But back to the problem before, for most beginner marketers, subscription costs of +/- $20/month is still considered expensive. Not to mention the additional cost, if subscriber exceeds the amount of a certain amount (such as Aweber collect additional cost nearly $ 10 for the number of subscriber above 10,000).

However, there is now a professional autoresponder service that is quite cheap, with prices half of Aweber and Getresponse, that is +/- $10/month, namely Norabots. Although the service is still young, Norabots the more evident because amenities aren't lost from Aweber and Getresponse. Even for certain things, even Norabots winner, for example in the case of quotas subscriber. Norabots not charge additional fees for the number of subscriber as applied Aweber and Getresponse. Some of the facilities provided are : Unlimited PRO Autoresponders and mailing list managers, Unique RSS Autoresponders, Unlimited follow-up messages, Personalized messages and up to 10 additional custom fields, Unlimited number of subscribers.

If you realize the importance of the autoresponder in the online business then choose the autoresponder service that is relatively inexpensive and can be trusted.
Good luck.
