Internet City Marketing

Just thinking of covering the basics for those that are unfamiliar with the terms we used on internet marketing.

HTML stand for HyperText Markup language. It basically addresses the problem that no two users have exactly the same software on a PC. Hence, it standardised the formating language that browers can display the information correctly on differenet PC.

Dont panic, let me explain.
Most likely you are familiar with word processing software like Microsoft Words. It is a software that deals with formatting of a documents that you can print nicely out to show your boss. Notepad is also another software that display and edit documents but without any formatting.
Therefore, in the beginning of internet, they do face with a problem of how to display documents on different PC. Not all PC has Microsoft word. Hence, then invention of HTML. It contains all the information about the necessary formating that a browser has to show.

Hope this short posting would help any one that is search for an answer to this question. For others that is scratching their head why did i suddenly post on a topic that is that simple, isnt it obvious? Haha

KEYWORD Research!

I am going crazy! As i explore internet marketing, the whole process is so tedious. As i make more profit from the net i am going to invest more into the various tools. Keyword research tools is one area i am going to put some money into!

Today i have spend roughly the whole day research a few segments that i am interested to exploring. First the general keywords. Then i segment out to the various categories and then i analysis the figures further. Trying to find a segment that is not so competitive. The i have to spend time to draft out a whole posting or articles to put this keyword research results into practice!

You can imagine the amount of time that i have to invest in. May be i should explore the various tools available in the market.

Right now, as i am still learning about how to go about doing my affiliates marketing, i am thinking about the indexing of my website by the search engines. Is there a more effective way of getting the bots to index my website and hopefully to obtain a higher ranking later. Suddenly, i have this idea of using blogger.

Theoretically speaking, Blogger is owned by Google. Hence, Google should be actively indexing its own blog directory at Blogger. May be if i set up a Blogger account, blog a bit and link it back to my own website, i should be able to be indexed by Google.  And then the whole SEO or search engine optimisation should kicks in.

Thats the theory. Right now i have 2 website that i be pushing out for affiliates markeing. Lets try to submit one for indexing through the manual submission and the other website by Blogger route.

Next time, i would try using Ezinearticles to do a link back and see if my website be indexed by the engine through EzineArticles.

Just wondering how many of you understand whats the purpose of installing a SEO toolbar on your browser. Maybe for the easy search function? Why do these guys offer free stuff? Whats the catch?

There are 3 toolbars that i have installed on my browser:

Google toolbar

Alexa tool bar

SEOBook toolbar

Whats the use of these toolbars? Mainly i used it when i am studying which keywords to fight for?

For example i am interested in the dating scene. I have done my keyword search result searches and i used the results on google search engine to evaluate the competition. And this is when these 3 toolbars are useful.

Google toolbar is useful because it gives the Google Pagerank. Mainly because Google is such a powerful search engine now, so i need to have some indications on how google views it. But be warned that the page rank currently only gives a rough indication how google views you. Relevancy of your website to the subject is more important now.

Alexa toolbar gives you an indication of the traffic that the website is getting. Currently, Google Pageranks just gives you a rough feel of how is the website but it is no longer the deciding factor in how high the ranking Google would put you when it index you page. But Alexa measures the traffic that is flowing to your website and is a better indication of how strong is your competition.

The third tool that i have installed is the SEOBoook toolbar. It is useful as it complements the other two bars by providing additional information. For instance, after you have installed the SEOBook on your Firefox ( things to take note is that this toolbar can only works with Firefox browser.) and you turn it on. When you google for a keyword, it gives you information like how long is the website around, whats the yahoo ranking and links and many other information. In a nutshell, it simply gives you all the information you need to study your competition on the search engine results. In a way, you do not have to install Google toolbar if you have the SEOBook toolbar as it gives Google Pagerank

Enjoy! try them!

And need i mention that its all free tools? It can better help you with your search engine optimization.
