The following are some of my best trade secrets. Please only use them for Good.
This article has been developed that how an internet marketing helps to entrepreneurs and small businesses who make up 95% of businesses, yet are currently under served by the professional search-marketing industry, and are often poorly self-served due to lack of expertise and time.
Let’s Begin.
A successful internet marketing program almost always beings with
Keyword Research.
It’s important to find out which of your services people are looking for, and in what quantity they are searching for them. One of the most popular free tools to see how many searches per month there are for your keywords is Yahoo’s Search History tool Remember that as Yahoo only holds about 25% of the market share for total searches (Google is about 55% and MSN is about 15%) so the actual number of searches for most terms is really about 4x the numbers you will see.
There are many search terms that you can show up for in search engines that are less competitive and costly than others (usually the less obvious terms that people haven’t found), although they are just as likely to convert the searcher to a customer of yours. The more of these terms you can find for your keyword list, the better your whole search marketing campaign will be in cost and effectiveness.
While developing your list of terms and search volume, it is important to note that many search volume numbers given are “over the radar” the real quantity of searches is much less. It is important to have accurate numbers so you can proportionately distribute your efforts to showing up for search terms — rather than spending hours trying to show up for a term that very few people are in reality actually looking for. To find more accurate data, you can either keep multiple months of data on hand and compare for discrepancies, or you can use MSN AdCenter’s daily search volume tool to also see un-natural spikes in search volume.
It is also important to note that some terms are “under the radar terms” of Yahoo’s Search History tool. Anything under 25 searches per month doesn’t show up, and there is often a *huge* potential market under the radar. This is particularly true with local searches — usually the keyword + major metropolitan area will show up, but adding up all of the other local cities and suburbs is often just as many total searches, and very few people think to try to show up for the individual cities.
Another technique for converting searchers are finding “indirect keywords”, where somebody who is searching for one thing, though not what you are offering as a product or service, would still be interested in your product for instance somebody is looking up how to fix a dent in their car themselves, and you can offer them professional dent removal services. One great use of this is running ads for the names of your competitors, and as people look up their services, they will then also be able to see your offerings
Next, convert your keyword list into an effective Pay-Per-Click campaign to drive targeted traffic to your website.
You should have at least these three subdivisions in your keyword list. If you offer services nation-wide, you can just go ahead and run only national ads using these keyword lists. If you have a local geographic area that you service, more advanced techniques should be used.
You should have a generic list of all of the services which you offer — for example, accounting — which may include your non-competitor-name “indirect keywords”. If you only serve a local market, these should be put into a geo-targeted campaign to keep people you outside of your market from seeing your ads, clicking them, and costing you money.
You should have a list of all of the cities you service, multiplied by the services you offer (i.e. Chicago accountant, Naperville Accountant, Elmhurst Accountant, etc.). This should be run as a national or global campaign, using the Ad to disambiguate the location of your offerings from other cities in the world with the same name.
You should have list of the names of all of your competitors. This can be run as a geo-targeted ad if you service only a particular area — especially when you have national companies listed as your competitors.
These campaigns should be run in at least the major 3 search engines — Google, Yahoo & MSN. An important point to make is that Yahoo and MSN usually have a better ROI because there are fewer people bidding against you on pay-per-click in these search engines, which thus reduces the cost-per-acquisition. The bottom line is that it is important to run ads in all three search engines.
Finally, Take Over the Natural (Non-Sponsored / Non-Pay-Per-Click) Results to drive more targeted traffic to your website
For small businesses, there are a couple approaches which work well. To show up for searches in the keyword list of all of the cities you service, multiplied by the services you offer, making a page listing all of the services you offer and then all of the cities you serve will get you to show up well in the search engine results for many of these searches.
To show up for the more competitive terms, due to the search engine algorithms, you are going to need links to your website. We have a pre-sorted list of directories you can submit your site to in order to build inbound links to your website ( be sure to list the Title as the keywords you want to show up for), and going through this list is usually enough to get on the first page for any major profession in most major metropolitan areas.
Well done — you have now covered your keyword universe and beyond with an effective internet marketing campaign.

Some Economics HW I need help with..?
10. Which is the federal government’s official measure of how much output our economy produces?
11. What is a business cycle?
12. Compare and contrast a recession and a depression; describe some of the key characteristics of each of these two economic phases.
Now, go to Encarta Online Concise Encyclopedia and find the article entitled Economics.
NOTE: It would be very wise to add the Encarta Online Concise Encyclopedia URL to your bookmarks or favorites. We use this site quite often in this course, and it is only given in this lesson!
13. Write AT LEAST one-paragraph summarizing the influence of Adam Smith on modern economic thought. (Note: You can also see the Encarta Online Concise Encyclopedia article specifically about him, or get some information on the Internet, if you prefer.)
14. What is mercantilism?
15. What was the goal of this philosophy?
16. What was the main idea of physiocracy?
Now, read Encarta Online Concise Encyclopedia’s article about Karl Marx.
17. Write AT LEAST one paragraph summarizing Karl Marx’s influence on modern economic thought. (Note: As with Adam Smith, you can also see the Encarta Online Concise Encyclopedia article specifically about Marx, or get some information on the Internet, if you prefer.)
Now, go down to the section entitled Economic Systems (In the article entitled Economics).
18. Give an example of what the US government has done in the past to intervene in an otherwise relatively free market economy.
19. Why do you think the government intervenes in such instances?
20. What are some of the disadvantages of a capitalist economy?
21. Briefly compare and contrast the economic systems used in Sweden and in the former Yugoslavia.
22. What was Adam Smith’s most famous and important work?
23. Some schools of thought believed that bullion was crucial to a country’s economic sustinence; others believed that land was the most important commodity. What did Smith believe was the most important element to an economy?
24. What is the "invisible hand"?
25. Adam Smith wrote, "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages."
Do you agree? Why or why not?
In many ways, Adam Smith’s economic ideas underpin Western ideas of enterpreneurialism. Being an entrepreneur means organizing a business or series of business ventures that are undertaken with considerable possibility for profit and with considerable risk for loss. The risk factor, balanced with the possibility for significant profit-taking, makes entrepreneurial business ventures attractive to some, while frightening to others. Excessive government regulation regarding employee benefits or environmental restraints and responsibilities, no matter how beneficial to society as a whole, can "kill" some ventures before they get off the ground. Benevolent governmental tax policies regarding small businesses, as well as incentive programs to help businesses get established, are key factors in the numbers of successful entrepreneurial ventures. The key to success when starting a business is knowledge. Know your business from all angles, including expenses, record keeping, advertising, and risk.
26.
NEW QUESTION AS OF 11-17-08: How did Adam Smith feel about government intervention in capitalism?
27.
NEW QUESTION AS OF 11-17-08: Under what circumstances did Adam Smith feel government intervention was warranted?
28. What are two advantages of improving the "dexterity" (ease of movement) of workers?
29. What are the advantages of moving the tasks between workers rather than the workers from task to task — that is, creating an assembly line?
30. What are the advantages of the invention and use of machines?
31. Name four ways Henry Ford produced cars more efficiently by using an assembly line.
32. List three reasons why Ford raised his worker’s wages to $5.00 a day.

Just two off the top of my head:
10. Gross Domestic Product
24. The "invisiblehand" is the effect of market forces (demand and supply) that control both the quantity produced and the price of goods and services. Higher price = reduced demand for a good or service, and the lower demand eventually leads to prices dropping until quantity and price are in equilibrium.
