Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Wordpress 2.7 was released recently, the visual enhancement & admin interface was greatly improved. It really impress me after watching video below pointing out all the new features, i have download it immediately, can’t wait to test it out!

With so many Internet Businesses sprouting up like mushrooms over the Internet, it has become extremely important to find creative ways to get more people to visit your site in order to learn about your products and services and avail them. In fact, improving the volume of website traffic is the biggest challenge faced by any budding entrepreneur who conducts businesses over the Internet.

One of the most effective ways for you to improve website traffic flow into the website of your online business is through writing and submitting articles about the products and services that you offer. In fact, many online business entrepreneurs can vouch that article writing is perhaps the most effective means of advertising their websites over the Internet and has attributed to a huge chunk of the volume of visitors going to their websites and availing their products and services. Why? Here are just 5 of the many reasons.

It’s Cheap!

Many people who start up their businesses over the Internet are those who would need to work with a very limited budget. Many of the methods that have been used by online business entrepreneurs to improve the traffic of potential customers in their websites such as availing mailing lists and subscribing to search engines cost money. Not all online business entrepreneurs have the budget to avail of these products. In the case of writing and submitting articles about products and services offered in your website, there are a number of different websites over the Internet that would allow you to sign up free of charge and upload articles which would then be categorized depending on the niche your online business is included. In some cases, these Internet websites would actually even pay you each time your article is viewed, giving you some much needed extra budget for your online business.

Expertise Can Lead to Huge Bucks

Writing high quality articles about the products and services you provide in your website would make you be classified by potential customers as an expert. Potential customers who are very cautious in buying products and availing services promoted over the Internet have been known to trust writers who have been considered as experts in their line of business. The trust that you create and nurture among readers would make them more confident to patronize your products and services as compared to those offered in other websites.

Viral Power

Online business entrepreneurs that upload articles about their products and services in other websites would always include a link to their own website through the information that they provide in the resource box or as a link in the keywords included throughout the article. This is what many people call as the viral power of article writing. As such, you take advantage of the website traffic flow that is enjoyed by other websites and as such by providing them a link to divert this traffic into your own website.

Long-Lasting Effect

One of the best things about article writing is that while it is used by many internet business entrepreneurs to promote their products and services, much of what they write here are just basic information that can be helpful for anyone and everyone looking for more information related to the products and services offered. And because articles that are posted in various websites are archived, readers are still able to retrieve these articles even if it has been a year since you wrote it. This being the case, you do not have to spend too much time writing articles every day to use this as a means to promote your website and improve website traffic flow.

Greater Visibility in Search Engines

The articles that you write and upload in various article databases are also indexed by search engines based on the keywords that you provide here. When a potential customer does a search in the website, he or she uses keywords based on what he or she was looking for. The higher the matches of the keywords found in your articles, the more likely that your articles would be included in the first two or three pages of the search page results. The great thing about this is that if you have uploaded a number of different articles with similar keyword density rates, these articles would be posted one after the other, further increasing your website traffic flow.

The biggest challenge faced by any internet entrepreneurs who wish to start his or her internet business is website traffic. With so many competitors over the Internet, it is important to make sure that the website for your online business constantly has a high traffic volume. Why? Because the higher the traffic volume to your website, the higher the chances that people would know about your products and services and the better your chances will be in making a profit.

Generating a high website traffic flow is extremely easy to do. Here are four simple steps you can do on your own to make sure that lots of people get to visit your website.

Subscribe to Search Engines

When potential customers look for a particular product or service over the Internet, they usually do this through the help of search engines. Although these search engines would be able to include your website as part of the search results, priority is given to those who have subscribed to these search engines. Online business owners who have subscribed to various search engines enjoy the benefit of being included in the first page of the search results presented to their potential customers. The website traffic volume of websites included in the first two pages of the search result given by a particular search engine is considerably higher than those in the succeeding pages. This is because potential customers would rather visit the websites provided in these first two pages than looking through the other pages. Because your website is generally new and would need all the publicity it could get, being one of the first few websites presented to potential customers would definitely boost up the traffic to your website.

Keep Your Website Updated

It is not a glitch on the search engine’s system to find a website on the first page of its search result on one day and no longer find it there after a few days. Search engines utilize what they call search engine robots to regularly crawl websites for new updates of information posted. These pieces of information are then indexed by the search engine robots into the search engine databases. This would then result to a shuffling of the different websites presented to a potential customer making a search through the search engine. By keeping your website updated on a regular basis, you are ensured that your website will be among the first that customers would be able to view through the search results page.

Be Generous With Keywords

Many online businesses would sprinkle different keywords associated to their products or services throughout their website. Always remember that potential customers who are looking for products or services over the Internet would commonly use different keywords. Search engines would rank the websites that are posted in the search results page based on their relevance to the keywords provided by the potential customer. The more keywords that search engines find on your website similar to that typed by the potential customer, the higher the ranking these search engines would give to your websites. Hence, the more likely that your website would be included among the first few websites accessible to the potential customer to visit.

Link Yourself with More Popular Websites

Not all customers would purchase products and services on the first website that they see. Oftentimes, they would go to more popular and recommended websites and then check on others to find where they can get the best deals. Many online businesses actually provide links to other lesser known websites providing similar products and services. By exchanging links with more popular websites, that means you putting a link on their page for your website and vice versa, you can benefit from the website traffic enjoyed by these websites thereby increasing the traffic to your website as well.

So, as you can see, it is not at all that difficult to increase the traffic to your website even if it is just a new one. By following these easy steps, you can simply sit back and watch your profits increase right before your very eyes!

My Personal experience is their fast loading and security features. Well, I use the “open incognito window” to check all my email and also other statement with not leaving any cookies behind after exit browser without log out my mail account.

Each tab in Chrome is sandboxed into its own process (computer security) which means each web page contains own sandbox, when you are running few things in different tabs, likes checking emails, playing games, etc… if one of the page not running or problems, it won’t affect others, still able to continue.

Google Chrome Is a new interface for me, i uses to check the source code for some webpages for my projects, the source code view is clean, neat and tidy, especially all the links can throughly verify with color.

But it didn’t comes with toolbar and feed, hard for me to check ranking for certain website, well, i hope it will include this great features too. : )

Today i just received a call from my friend, she got some error of her blog and can’t log in to the admin area, as i try to replace some php file, it still the same. So, have to re-install the whole wordpress blog and share what i have did maybe could help..

Before re-install, i have to backup the database, makesure all the post & comments are backup into my hard drive, i log into the Cpanel and click on mysql database icon, you will come to a lists of database which you may have installed eg. forum, wordpress, others content management software etc… of course you need to ensure which one of the database is under your wordpress blog, then, confirm & choose the correct database name and user name, no worry it comes with option), press and log into the phpmyadmin control panel.

In the phpmyadmin control area, you will saw a “Export” tab button, click and save your database as sql or xml will do, is better you save both into your hard drive. For the detail step and information, you can refer the links here from wordpress.org support center. ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database ).

But you have NOT backed up the files and folders – such as images, because phpMyAdmin can not handle large databases. As you follow the link above it will show the way using Straight MySQL Commands…
Cause i ‘m using the same domain and folders directories, so i just backup the image using FTP software to direct transfer the image files ( under the => wp-content/uploads/2008/08/.. ) in my hard drive.

After this, back to cpanel again, in mysql database manager, delete the database have been backup. Once database delete (uninstall), log in fantastico (icon) under your cpanel, (it should comes together with cpanel and your hosting account), re install it again, with fantastico, you don’t have to install the wordpress and setup your database manually, it configure everything for you automatic.

Wordpress has been successfully installed, go to mysql database manager and import all those backup files, you can refer the steps from wordpress.org support center
(http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup)

Last, upload all my images from hard drive to wordpress blog under “wp-content/uploads/2008/08″
That’s all.

Anyone have better way to backup the database ?

Really appreciated if you can share with us , thanks lot!

Have a nice day!

For those who want to build their lists, you can apply to become a gift contributors, i ‘m sure that you heard lot of internet marketers building their lists fast using giveaway events method.

If you are totally NEW and just start planning to jump into any Giveaway events. I have some very Important message would like to share with you, so at least you get some ideas & get prepare what you need to do: -

What is Giveaway Event ?

Giveaway is a Joint Venture where all Internet Marketers get together for giving away their Free products by exchanging the email address + name of the new subscriber / members (prospect or future customer). Each event have their own title, like “Summer Giveaway, Membership Giveaway, Viral Marketing Giveaway, Labour Day Giveaway, Olympic Giveaway, etc….

Ok, how does it works ?

Each partner has to promote the event in order to drive visitors to the sites, using ID link provided, you will received credit once your referral sign up, this credit allowed you to have your own gifts shown. More credit you have, your gifts will be move upfront to get more leads.

Many of these giveaway events brings about 100 or more or maybe less visitors (But all this is base on the team work of contributors and event organizer, and also massive amount of events for each month), people promoting that single event tend to build traffic and also present their special offer. But of course you have the option to upgrade and immediately rank up to 40 credits to stay in the events.

If you are totally newbies and has no experience cum no list at all, i urge you upgrade (cost: $17 – 27 or more: depends) once you sign in, if you decided to upgrade later, it will cost you more, once build some list, you may consider not to upgrade for the next events, and try to promo with your own lists.

After you have build your lists, make sure you train them how to use the free products as well.

Giveaway is a fresh new chapter for me, still lot things to learn, if you really want to understand more & gain profits from it, you can grab a free copy of ” The Death of Giveaway” & “giveaway code” written by Brad Smith, i really agreed and understand what’s he trying to say in the death of giveaway.

Ok, let’s get start! How to setup gifts for giveaway event. Sound simple but not easy until get used to it. After you have the skill & concept, you can create your own optin page for all your new website.

Below are the components you need to prepare.

1. Squeeze page (Also name as sign up page)
2. Thank you page (Inform them to Confirm their Subscription from 1st email)
3. Download Page (After they have confirm subscription)
4. An Auto responder System – like Aweber, Getresponse, etc….
5. One Time Offer Sale Page (Optional)
6. Script for your “One Time Offer” & “Tracking code” Script for your gifts if you participle lots of giveaway events together (Both optional but very powerful)
7. Follow up Message (Stored in your Auto responder system)

Ok, let’s go into detail

1) Squeeze page
Create a short & given the clear reason why need to sign up. (what your’re offering and the benefit of the products) Make sure the page look professional and security issue stated clearly not to sell their contacts to anyone. Setup, copy and paste your Autoresponder optin code “<form> xxxxx </form>” in your squeeze page.

2) Thank you page
“Thank you” message & inform how to download the gift by asking them to confirm their 1st subscription email sent to their email address, remind to check junk mailbox as well. After confirm 1st email (One time offer immediately load), following the 2nd email will sent to their inbox contained the download link. This setting can be done in your Autoresponder System, so you don’t have to worry about how the script work.

3) One Time Offer (Killer Sale Letter) (Optional)
After confirm the 1st email, your auto responder system should have set to load this one time offer pages , inform this is the once ever best offer …. (On top of this One Time Offer pages, you can Inform your subscriber, gifts have been sent to their email address which is the 2nd email, so if they pass this offer, they still can get the download link from inbox)

4) Scripts for One Time Offer (Optional)
There are lots of scripts out there, different scripts will give you different results, i mostly recommend exit script, so the popup screen will function only when the user clicked the exit button. This is different from mouse hover function scripts.

5) Download page
You can skip the no.3) & no.4), direct download your gifts (2nd email) without one time offer and offering valuable products with follow up email.

JV Giveaway Tips:
- Join before they launched take some time to test all the sign up and download link.
- Make sure your gift is different from other jv , most popular gift is blogging, video tutorials, list building, search engine optimization, Private label right (plr) products, theme etc.
- Enhance your product image with “ecover action script” make it look pro, check the license term as well, allow to use product comes with “free give away”
- Do something to MAKE your new subscriber REMEMBER who you are ? WHY ? Because later you will have problem for the open % rate of your follow up email you send out later. Most people give more than promise, some using picture and testimonial to build their credibility.
- Some giveaway events have 30 download pages x 10 gifts/page approximately 300 signup form, some subscribers have no time and your “one time offer” will be wasted, you may need to promo in the follow up email instead of OTO page.

However, if you want to increase your Profit from giveaway event like offering one time offer, I suggest you have your own unique / killer products. This is your advantages against other JV partners who are also promoting the same products like you. (of course, there are many different way….)

Are you ready to kick start become Giveaway Contributor? Here’s the directory list of JV Giveaway events.

Be Patient and persistent in IM niche market

You want to build a huge list and make money from it, there are still many different way of building your list, don’t just stick into one method, try other method as well, the “quality” of the lists is more important than quantity, because you may want to have 500 active user really buying from you rather than 10,000 of lists just tire-kickers. For sure, the most healthy lists is from search engine and you shall not overlook it, because they really look into the product you are offering.

Well, just a piece of my opinion to share with you, apply only those strategy is suit for you. Good Luck and have a nice day!
