How to get more searched keywords on google

I just found this feature on google search which is called ‘Google Suggest’. As you are typing your keyword, there will be more suggested keywords available in drop down menu. Further more, it will show you total number of results for each and every keyword.

I think it will be quite useful for internet marketers out there to get more specific keywords and supply for the keywords.

Here is the screenshot of google suggest

“The google story” book

Went to MPH just now just browsing through interesting books there. Found a book titled “The Google Story“. I’ve found once at Kinokuniya few months ago but cannot go through the book because it was sealed. But just now I could flip the pages to find out about the books.

It is a very intesting book on how Google started off with small office in garage till becoming a large corporation worth billion of dollars. Will put this book in my list of books to buy 🙂 Very inspiring.

The price is only $26 or RM89. Quite cheap compared to e-book standard price at $47 per book. Hmm.. now I can say that RM89 is cheap. Haha. After promoting and buying e-books for $47 online.

Registered with goClick PPC Ad

In order to leverage more on traffic building to my websites, I’ve just registered with goClick. Here are some comments and comparison with Google Adwords that I use as the first PPC SE.

goClick registration is much simpler. You can just register for free first and add your campaign. Then only you need to add fund in order to the campaign to be published. The minimum deposit is for just $10. The minimum price you can bid is just for $0.01.

The other good thing with goClick is you can view other people with higher rank bid. So you can know what price to bid in order to get your desired rank.

You can also always get the highest rank using goClick auto BidMaster that will adjust your ad to always be at the highest rank.

You can register goClick for free and have a look on the features.

Tracking your advertising campaign

Result is important. If you don’t like your result, change your approach. You won’t get different result if you are doing the same thing again and again.

You need to track every single advertising campaign you run if possible. Advertising incurred cost. If your advertising cost is more than what you get out of it, then you are in lost. Stop the campaign and start with a new one. Until you found a good one. Let it runs and roceed to the next.

I’m in progress of developing a simple application that can track every click people made on my advertisement links. When they click it, how much each click cost me and from where the click is made. At the end of the day, I can view a comprehensive report where I can then summarize the profits made out of the campaign.

The other good thing on the website is I managed to get a four letter dot com domain name that will make my advertisement link shorter and friendlier. Shorter than tinyurl.com/zzzz.

Will update more on the link tracker application when it is completed. Maybe will make it as a limited free service to all.

How to earn $1000/month online

Ok let’s do some simple math here how to generate $1000/mo income from the internet.

The most popular income streams for many internet marketers are from affiliate and adsense revenue. You can set it based on your strength – whether on adsense or affiliate.

Let say you want

Affiliate => $600/mo ~ $20/day in average
Adsense => $400/mo ~ $15/day in average

Affiliate to get $20/day you must have

200 visitors per day
20 clicks out of 200 visit
2 purchase out of 20 clicks
each purchase you get $10

Adsense to get $15/day you must have

400 visitors per day
50 clicks out of 1000 impressions (about 5% click-through-rate CTR)
each click you get $0.3 (* you have to choose the right keyword to gain more)

What you can do to improve the figure:

  1. Get more traffic – with multiple source of traffic generation – Search Engine, PPC, safelist, autoresponder etc. Spend more on your advertising vehicles but always closely monitor your ROI.
  2. Get higher click through – Always test and tune your ad position, color, wording etc. to get more clicks and purchase
  3. Get more websites selling more products. Always add your website. Let say one website a month consistently

Sooner or later you will get your first $1000/month (which is almost RM4000). Keep on doing what works and stop doing what is not.

Of course to get the $1000/month is not as simple as the calculation above. But it can give you some ideas what it takes to get the amount of money.

To try other PPC Search Engine Advertising

PPC (pay-per-click) advertising is very effective. You can get targeted viewers easily and continously. Unlike pay by impression, with PPC you just pay for the result. Pay only when people CLICK and VISIT your website NOT when your ad is displayed.
I’ve been using Google Adwords for quite some time and very satisfied with it. Now it’s time to try other PPC provider like Overture (Yahoo Search Marketing) and few other popular PPC Search engine to leverage my online advertising method.

Next to try maybe goClick or SearchFeed cause of the cost is cheaper – minimum bid $0.01 per click and $25 deposit, unlike overture minimum $0.10 and $50 deposit. But still looking around for feedback from users regarding the effectiveness of the PPC.

Tools needed to be successful in internet marketing

After spend more and more time on internet marketing, I can say that there are a lot of repetition in what I’ve been doing. So many time spent to do the same things again and again.

To avoid this happen and save my time, I have to find a very good tools in helping me do the job faster, easier and more efficient.

I need tools to

  1. Build a user friendly website – with good-looking interface (at least acceptable), search engine friendly, easy to navigate, easy to update/maintain.
  2. Get quality and related content to my website
  3. Promote the website – Getting quality and continous traffic faster and easier
    Tools are important.

Like a carpenter, you need a complete tools to finish up your work. Different jobs require different set of tools. You can still success without set of good tools but it will take longer time to complete a task – time is money.

Where to get continous massive traffic

Traffic is like oxygen to the website. No oxygen – dead.

I’ve tried so many ways to get website traffic. But the best is still through search engine ranking. Ranked on the first page for highly searched keyword, then just wait for massive traffic flow to your website.

But the problem with SEO (search engine optimization) is it takes times. Sometimes up to few months to get a high rank.

So I have been looking for other ways to get continous traffic to my websites. I’m very satisfied with Google Adwords. Pay for the result. When only people click on your ad and visit your website.

Other than that, I’ve tried send to list of opt-in emails provided by some companies. It works quite well and cheap in price. You can have 1000 visitors to your websites for just $10. But the price will be higher if you send to targeted viewers – by category and region.

Please refer to my previous posting – Another easy way to drive massive traffic

Another thing I found was buying traffic that will send via expired domain and other kind of forwarding service. It is even cheaper than opt-in emails. It can go sometimes down to $10 for 10,000 visitors. Hmm.. I’ve tried with this service but am waiting for the result.

Update: The result is not good. The stats in my cpanel shows that there are traffic coming in but not quality ones. Maybe the traffic comes from pop under window or somewhere that people cannot even see the website.

Can Malaysians buy products from clickbank?

Few times people ask me this questions since lots of quality (some are not) e-books and products sold via clickbank.com. The anwer is yes. But I also have problem when purchasing the products via credit card but have no problem paying via paypal.

Just register for a free paypal account  and register your credit card in the paypal account settting. You can easily use paypal to pay for lots other online products with paypal. But I have no experience withdrawing money from paypal.
