Employer won’t let me make websites as a hobby/freetime and now I got laid off?


I worked in a Web Development company where I help built websites, Internet Marketing (SEO, SEM, PPC, ecommerce, mailing list, etc).

Now, according to my contract/non-compete, it states I can’t work on a company doing the same thing nor do something similar. Well, this makes no sense to me since, for the past year I’ve been working on projects that constantly got can celled due to clients not paying on time and using outdated technologies. So, in terms of experience for work, I don’t got much of a portfolio to show. Now, here’s the worse part — the company don’t want me to make websites in my own free time as a hobby — basically, I can’t built my own web app or websites making money on the side (mailing list, selling things, affiliates, etc). To them, they’re afraid I’m copying their ideas — but isn’t that stupid since 90% of websites that money do the same thing??? How can you protect that? And if they somehow google my name and link me to a website I’ve built in my freetime, they were planning to acquire it and take legal action for it.

Ok, about two weeks ago, I got laid off due to budget cut…so now I can’t say how much I’ve accomplish at the company due to projects going downhill. And if prospective employers in an interview ask me if I enjoy making websites/programming or running one on my own as a hobby, I can’t show anything since my previous employer did not want me to make websites or money off it as a hobby.

How do I deal with this situation?

SEO Visibitly or SEO Visibility? Can Misspelling Help Your Business?



You may say that SEO Visibitly is just plain wrong! I know the very idea would upset Mrs Garton, my old English teacher, but sometimes using misspellings could be the right thing to do.

To explain why optimizing for a misspelling can help increase your website’s traffic we need to take a look at our own search habits. I type fairly quickly, but not very accuratley or should that be accurately, so mistakes, like that one, often occur. When I’m using a Word processor or my blog account spellcheck takes care of those errors for me. With the search engines there’s no spellcheck, you get exactly what you typed. I guess the same is true for a lot of people searching for information. So, quite often, a phrase like SEO Visibility will be transformed into SEO Visibitly.

Keyword Research

I did some research using Wordtracker Competition Search Automation and KRA and the results are worthy of note. I found that the phrase SEO Visibility is searched for approximately 167 times per day across all the major search engines.

SEO Visibitly, the misspelled version, is searched for slightly less with around 142 searches, but when we look at the competition for the phrases there’s a considerable difference. Spelled correctly SEO Visibility has 600 competing pages, the misspelled version SEO Visibitly has only 7.

A search using googles’ operator intitle: gives us a more accurate estimate of pages that have actually been optimized to for a particular phrase and so weeds out the “accidental hits”. The search for intitle:”seo visibility” returns 219 competing pages, not a massive level of competition, but take a look at intitle:”seo visibility” and there are still only 7 pages to compete with. As long as you have SEO Visibitly in the title tag you can’t fail to be on the all important first page of the google search results. The only question is would you prefer to compete with 219 sites or 7 for about the same amount of traffic, I know what I’d prefer!

But what about the Mrs Garton factor?

Or “can you be a trustworthy source of information if you don’t know how to spell?” This question touches on the issue of trust, which is especiallyimportant for anyone trying to sell a product or service online. The perceived risk is higher if buyers have no personal contact with sellers. So this is a genuine problem that needs to be addressed whenever you use misspellings to bring in traffic.

How you do that will depend on the structure and aims of your articles or the copy on your webpages. My own chosen method is to admit my mistake early and explain that I use misspellings to ensure that everyone can find my site. Instead of being a negative, misspellings are a kind of additional service. I don’t have any hard data, but I’m pretty sure a misspelling in the title tag drives off a few really pedantic searchers.

Conclusion

In the end, Search Engine Optimization is all about generating targeted traffic. To that we need to be giving people what they’re they’re looking for. By using misspelling we’re aiming to give people what they want and that’s got to be a good idea in any business.

Affiliate Marketing During a Recession



Often it is difficult to figure out what people are spending their money on when everyone is tightening their belts and cutting back on spending. While it is a little more difficult to make money during a recession, you simply need to think more creatively. To be successful at affiliate niche marketing during a recession, review the five key factors – where people need to spend money, where can people save money, essential problems to be solved, niches that don’t require people to spend money and highly emotional issues that will override monetary expenditures. Affiliate niche marketing during a recession can be very profitable.

Start your marketing with research. Look for niches where people need to spend money on are staple products that people have to purchase regardless of what is going on. For example, students have to purchase college textbooks, pencils, pens and calculators. Individuals with chronic health problems are going to spend money on their medications despite the economic forecast. Find affiliate niche marketing opportunities in these areas during a recession.

When you can save someone money in a downturn, they will be very happy. This is where affiliate niche marketing is very successful as there are many online informational products and services designed to do just that. Figure out how to show that your product will help someone save money and you have a goldmine on your hands. For example, VOIP or calling cards to save money on phone bills.

Before you begin your first marketing campaign, check out niches where there are essential problems that need to be solved or fixed. An example of this might be a computer software or hardware problem that needs correcting to keep their computer from breaking. A solution would be anti-virus software. Start your affiliate niche marketing campaign by designing a website or article that will demonstrate to your target market why they need to have the product in their lives.

During a recession, a great idea is to find a niche that doesn’t require people to actually spend money. For example getting an auto quote or signing up for a free credit report service. You can generate a mailing list and sell the related services. Most people will sign up for something free, and if they discover a need for a related service, they might spend some money on it.

Highly emotional issues are great affiliate niche marketing opportunities regardless of the economic environment. While weddings may be scaled down, people are still going to get married. People will also get divorced or need legal help during an economic recession.

There are great money making opportunities everywhere. Consider some of the following:

AutoPartsWarehouse – People might go online to save money on high ticket parts to fix their car.
BeautyChoice – there are some luxury items, but some staples as well.
BetterHealthInnovations – This is a great affiliate niche marketing option because people will purchase necessary items to deal with health issues.
BiggerBras – Most women need to wear a bra. It’s obviously a specialty item too, which drastically increases the motivation to purchase online.
Homegain – With such a tough housing market, people are probably looking for all the help they can get with a home purchase or sale. This is a great affiliate niche marketing opportunity.
CashAngelsOnline – Emergency Cash Advance service…enough said there.
DentalPlan.com – Again, kind of a necessity to prevent big unexpected expenses.
EZDoze – Help with Insomnia.
NetQuote – Auto insurance…necessity.
TheDebtTeam – Help with debt relief. People in debt will be very happy with help getting out of debt, another wonderful affiliate niche marketing possibility.

There are many ways to make money online especially during a recession. To be successful with affiliate niche marketing, demonstrate to people how it will help solve their problem, save money or improve their lifestyle.

An Understanding of Search Engine Optimization




Search engine optimization refers to the set of activities which are aimed at increasing the traffic or number of visitors on the web site. Optimization also leads to the augmentation of the quality of the web site. It became popular in the late 1990s, when the owners of the web sites hired people to increase the popularity of their web sites. In many cases the site owners themselves kept on updating their knowledge and became what are popularly called the webmasters.

Traffic or the number of visitors is an important attribute of any web site. The more the number of visitors, the more is its reach. This applies for all commercial and non commercial web sites.

Prior to the search engine traffic, the Internet users visiting the web sites were those who would search directly for the URL or those who would follow the links on other web sites and web resources. This referred traffic used to be very low.

Once search engines started indexing the pages and adding URL’s in their database, the Internet users found it worthwhile to find all information in the search engines. The search engines asked for typing of keywords and based on them search result pages were generated and displayed in order. As thousands and even millions of pages happened to contain the keywords, algorithms or parameters to index the page were developed.

Search engine optimization takes care of the indexing parameters. It tries to bring the web pages of any site in first few search results page, as it is the first few search results pages a visitor is interested in.

Today, Search engine optimization has evolved into recognized services in the online industry. The service is provided by web experts or webmasters who have fair knowledge about working principles of various search engines.

Search engine experts or webmasters are familiar with a number of tools and techniques like keyword stuffing, adding meta tags, writing descriptions, inserting web site links, submission of web sites in directories and search engines, etc.

For e-commerce web sites and portals, Search engine optimization is very important. The business value of such a website or portals rests on this very fact. An optimized web site enjoying a good page is worth the business.

Why did Sarah Palin (a christian woman) laugh at a woman called a bitch?

no wonder the polls show men are liking her more than woman. this is one self hating woman. she loves guns and hunting (nothing wrong with that but not a lot of women can relate) she is doesn’t believe in equal pay for women, and she wants to do away with abortion regardless if a woman if raped! Now if that doesn’t do it for you she apparently thinks disrespecting a woman is funny! This lady is a nut job! (and no i’m not affiliated with any party so find something else to bash me about)

story and audio of her laughing in in the link:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/palin-laughs-as-opponent_n_122776.html
Freedle S so if i told you i also thought Biden’s comments about Obama being the “first mainstream articulate african american” were racist would hat make you feel any better that my criticism is equal.

Affiliate Internet Marketing Training Program – Internet Marketing Training




It has never been easier to start an online business, especially if it is an affiliate Internet marketing business. This business is probably the least expensive business to start and rewords are enormous. Having said this over 50% of people fail completely at this business. Reason? Simple because too many people told them it was easy and to many people sold them few books and they were on their own. If you are serious about becoming successful at affiliate business, you need Internet marketing training! And please don’t freak out! It is not expensive at all!

When I started my online business I tried learning on my own. I can tell you it is very expensive way to learn because it will become costly! Trial and errors are very expensive. I also bought some eBooks and manuals and I could not learn affiliate marketing from there either. One manual cost me almost $200. It described the process from the beginning to the end with some very colorful pictures, but it did not tell me yet how to get started. The pictures and the way it was written sold me on the idea, but it still did not answer my question, how do I start?

You need foundation to build your business on. The process of affiliate marketing is always the same. To earn money you will repeat that process from start to the end over and over again! But before you get started on your process you need to answer few questions. You need to understand the why’s of the marketing! Affiliate marketing business has nothing to do with sales, it has a lot to do with people. I did not know this. I was not earning any money until I understood this.

Automated SEO



In the next few years, webmasters will be able to use automated SEO techniques on their websites. This will be done via a content management system, and it will make things much easier and faster. However, this doesn’t mean that optimization services will become obsolete. While having an optimized site is good, if visitors can’t find it, the site won’t get traffic. Because of this, more online companies will begin offering search engine marketing services instead of Search Engine Optimization.

In the middle of the 1990s, most people felt that the only thing you needed to succeed was a website. For some people, this was the truth. By the end of the 1990s, template software was invented. Programs like Dreamweaver and Frontpage made it easier for people who weren’t programmers to build their own websites. Once more people begin building their own websites, they next wanted to optimize those sites. To meet this demand, companies started developing software which made it easy for people to design their own websites. To stay competitive, website designers had to change the type of services they offered.

It is now common to use a website which can be edited. CMS has allowed a number of different elements to be automatically generated. Some of these elements include Meta tags, page names, and page titles. Site maps are also being automatically generated. Many experts believe that this is the next stage of SEO technology because they’ve designed these very programs for their own clients. Once a customer understands how to properly optimize their pages, they will get ahead of those who do not. While SEO is a great service to offer today, it will begin to diminish in importance as more people use the internet and learn how to optimize their own pages without paying a company to do it for them.

At this point, SEO firms will naturally want to shift their attention towards search engine marketing services. This industry will be the replacement for the SEO industry that we see today. If you get into this growing industry now, you and your firm will prosper in the next five years.
