I just came across this blog post by Tim Erway…most famous for his involvement in the creation of the runaway success MLM Traffic Formula.
Tim writes, “Is the squeeze page method dead?
How can I get around the “Google Slap” with my pay per click campaigns?
When, where and how should I use a squeeze page?
Contrary to what you may have heard, the squeeze page method is far from dead, and I encourage you to read on before you take your squeeze pages down simply because you read a report telling you otherwise.
That being said, there are circumstances where a squeeze page should NOT be the first step in the sales process, and there are some products and/or markets where a squeeze pages shouldn’t be used at all. Remember, before taking anyone’s advice as gospel (including mine), always test for yourself.”
This is something that I have not put a lot of thought into and that I am going to look into doing some tests on my own as well. Take a look at what Tim wrote in this blog post.
There is a subtle difference to what Tim is advocating here and what we are used to traditionally. The type of squeeze page he is advocating really provides a snippet of solid content and then for prospects to get the full story they actually have to put in their information. I think it is a great concept because the search engines are hungry for content and so are the searchers.
Enjoy!

A press release is a fantastic way to get the word out about your company and/or product. Many have used this to generate 80 leads in less than 1 hour of work.
Here are some criteria to meet with your press release.
- It shouldn’t be blatant promotion or advertising of your product.
- It should be newsworthy information.
- Make it time sensitive.
- Include a link to your site, preferrably a tracking link so you know where your traffic is coming from.
Here is an example of a press release I recently wrote. Xango Success Secrets Revealed
The site that seems to be getting the highest ranking these days as far as the search engines go (based on the personal research I have done) is Free Press Release. You can post press releases for free or you can place a bid to have them ranked high on their home page.
Enjoy!

Many people don’t know this, but you can make a substantial income from simply owning and running a blog. In fact there are people that make 5 figures or more every month from their blog!
Here are two ways a blog can make money for you.
1. affiliate commissions - related info to your blog with links posted within your page and articles written on them
2. google adsense - it will take some significant traffic for you to be able to generate income from adsense, but it is more than possible for it to be done.
If you have a blog that provides solid, up to date information for readers the search engines absolutely love them and will bring traffic to you. It will take time and well written blogs, but if you stick with it you can generate a very good following that will in time generate significant income for you and your home business.

Do you want to get more free traffic to your website or blog from the search engines, especially Google? Do you love the idea of building your site and just watching the traffic come in totally free??
I know that is what I am striving for…absolutely free traffic coming into my site from the search engines and from other sites. It is really the holy grail of internet marketing isn’t it? The absolute ideal is to build a site and then here comes the traffic, but it doesn’t necessarily work that way does it? There are some keys to doing that and a few simple rules to follow. This is not intended to be a technical article on SEO. Instead it’s intended to give you a basic idea on how to get traffic to your site from the search engines.
There are so many gurus out there teaching you how to get incoming links to your site by gaming the system. Let me tell you right now that it won’t work in the long run. Short term you will have some success, but Google especially strives to give the people that use it’s search engine the best content that lines up with what they are searching for. They are going to slap down sites that are gaming the system by generating their own incoming links all over the place without providing good content.
The biggest tip I can give you is provide good content that readers will love and keeps them coming back for more. What a secret, huh? That will do more than anything to drive that search engine traffic to your site. Why? First things first is that the search engines strive to reward good content. When you are writing on subjects that people want to learn about and you write well it keeps them coming back. If they like it they’ll link to it in their blog, on facebook, in del.icio.us, reddit and various other social bookmarking sites. They’ll write about it in squidoo or hubpages and you’ll automatically get all kinds of incoming links without having to do it yourself.
There is nothing better than you can do than to provide great content that helps your readers. When I am writing I am thinking, “what can I write that will help me readers?” I am not thinking, what can I write that will make my readers want to buy something. Of course I ultimately want to make money from this blog, but without traffic I will never make a dime and without great content that will help my readers I won’t ever get any traffic.
If you feel challenged by the idea of writing good content that will genuinely help your readers than I suggest a few things; first, read good copy and content from other writers. Secondly, start writing a post on your blog every single day. Well, I don’t write on Sunday because it is a day of rest and worship for me, but I do write at least once the rest of the days and it definitely sharpens my skills. I am by no means a great writer, but I can see improvement as the weeks go by.
If you want your page to be optimized for the search engines this is the long term way to do it. Don’t expect results overnight, but if you provide the kind of content your target market loves they’ll keep coming back and they’ll get all their friends and colleagues to visit your blog as well.
