SEO Scripts: Directory Submitter
Posted by: | Comments
I found a neat little script the other day I wanted to share with you all. Not only does this script accomplish some very basic and necessary marketing tasks it also has a built in business. The software is called PHP Dir Submit and offers directory submission and bookmarking in a self hosted program.
It currently supports 300 website directories, 300 article directories and 300 social bookmarking sites but it allows you to also enter your own custom directories for submission. Any automation tool that is worth it’s weight will allow you some level of customization to really take it to the next level and PHP Dir Submit does just that. Read More→
Discount Web Hosting with Lots of Features
Posted by: | Comments
If you run websites having quality hosting is a must. When looking for a web host you need to compare many different types of features to make sure that the server will meet your needs. Some of the key things to look for are bandwidth, storage space, how many domains you can have on a single plan and one click script instillations.
If you are running a lot of web intensive scripts or databases you may need top of the line hosting but if you are just running a simple site you can probably get away with a discount web hosting company like Webhostingshop.org which offers c-panel web hosting. Packages start at as little as $1 a month with pre-paid plans. Read More→
Push Button Marketing
Posted by: | Comments
So you want to buy a program, push a button and become an internet rock star, right? Don’t we all! The reality is though most of the people pushing you the idea that once you buy their program and just run it your sales will shoot through the roof are selling you a whole bunch of nothing.
In my line of business I do web design and internet marketing for small to mid size businesses. I have been doing it for about 5 years and have a lot of customers I have been working with for a very long time. As a result of these relationships we have formed and their trust in my judgement they often approach me with various websites and “systems” they are interested in buying and want my opinion on . More times than not I have burst their rock star bubble sadly.
Now I want to make it clear right now I am not saying automation is bad. Quite the opposite automation is great however if you are automating a failed or spammy practice you aren’t going to get anywhere. That means before you buy a program to automate a specific task you have to actually understand what the program is doing and if that tactic is actually good for your marketing.
The reality is a whole lot of people who have never made any real money with internet marketing have decided instead to build tools to sell you and make their money that way. So you need to ask yourself a few questions before considering any system. Does what the person is offering seem realistic? Does this program automate a proven marketing method? Do I understand that method well enough to know the difference between something that is going to help and something that can actually cause damage? Read More→
