What am I doing wrong? Im new to internet marketing

If you look at the product page you will see a section titled SHOCKING STATISTICS. I think the vendor is giving you a hint about how to promote the product.

I would title the post "Who Is Your Child Talking To Online?." Then explain the hazards of the internet. But speak like a concerned friend. Also, include photos of parents and children. Maybe one with a child at the computer alone.

As well as english and having the right headlines that are catchy have you ever tried any campaigns like safelists and traffic exchanges? They can be effective to your link as well. Or maybe check the content of your site and see if you think its ready and visible to be viewed by thousands of people.

Okay, first of all, your site is going to get shut down by Wordpress as you
are violating their TOS. They do not allow affiliate promotions on their blogs.

If you want to promote affiliate products, you have to get your own domain
and put the blog on it.

As for the content, it's dry, dull, boring and appears that English is not your
first language. This is also going to work as a strike against you.

Your blog title and article titles are dreadful. You need to take a writing
course of some kind. What you have up there now isn't going to cut it. I'd
be shocked if you made even one sale...ever.

And none of the above takes into account what you're doing to even
generate traffic. The greatest blog gets no visitors if you don't generate
traffic towards it.

There is so much that needs fixing, I don't even know where to begin.

If you have the funds, get a mentor. Get somebody to help you with a
business plan and put something together that has a shot.

What you have up there now has no chance.

Get yourself a better looking website from Joomla or somewhere.

You need to research your niche beforehand. When you pick a niche to research do this:

Use Google keyword tool to check if the niche is profitable by comparing the monthly searches to the competition. You check competition by typing your phrase in quotes in google and looking at the top right of the screen to see how many competing pages there are.

When i'm researching i punch a generic keyword into google keyword tool and pick out a few of the best performers. Usually they have more than, 2,000 monthly searches and less than 40,000 competing websites.

If there's a few good keywords then i'll take a bunch of them including the low search volume keywords.

------------------------------

I use Micro Niche Finder to help me, it's an amazing tool. i also use SEObook and keywordtracker to help. (google them)

------------------------------

Now you've got a niche with some low competition and fairly good amount of searches a month. (don't be worried if you've spent hours and still have not come up with anything, finding the correct niche is really important)

Pick your top keyword and try to get a .com or a .net domain with the same name or very close as well as some hosting.

Don't worry, these are all simple things once you do them a few times.

Installed your joomla website, bright coloured layout, very simple with a little sidebar. try to make all your content central, a nice cozy comfortable layout is important.

Now get your pen and paper or a word document and sort your keywords into titles for content on your website. these titles will be listed on the left of your website. Some of these maybe

"How to ...."
"Best Recipes For..."
"Why xxxx?"

Now sign up to clickbank of commission junction and search for products relating to your keyword.

Make a list of keywords also relating to those particular products or find ways of connecting them to your content. Research the products longtails.

Now make some more keyword targeted titles for the products. You want lots of details about the product and how it can help the reader. No real sales talk, just factual good review of the product. Content that is worth reading. also list the manufacturer and the price.

---------------------------------

Go to No Doubt Marketing-SEO Articles-Article Writing-Web Content Writing and order some articles with your list of keyword titles. These are really good article writers, they currently sell $9 articles 500 words long all unique and well written.

This can be expensive, but there is no substitute for this.

Your front page does not have to be an introduction. i like to start the main page with "Why xxxxx" or "what is xxxxx?" and just go right into the niche with the reader.

Now once you have all your articles up it should look a lot more like some really comfortable information pages full of juicy content for readers. I won't go over basic SEO because you should know this and implement it where you can.

There should be links to you information pages on your topic/niche in the sidebars and some links to product pages too.

Now get it all sitemapped up - I do mine from here Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator and submit it to google/yahoo any anywhere else.

------------------------------------------------------

Ok to recap, basically you've just launched but not promoted a website that looks professional and has some really good keyword targeted content. This is the foundation of a good website. Getting a professional article write and a good layout combined with some well researched keywords will always = $

------------------


Now it's time to promote. The way to do this is not to think "how can i get my website to rank highly" but "how can i get google to trust my website?"

Websites are placed in limbo for their first 6+ months or until you gain googles trust. There are many ways to promote your website. Social bookmarking, blog commenting, article submission and lots more.

Personally i'm trying to steer my websites in a new direction. I want to build good links, slowly. I've had websites sandboxed for getting too many links. I believe if you go pure whitehat you'll go further than any linking strategy.

Visit my warrior forum blog for some info backlinks, my first post is also info about keyword research if you need it.

I've also been using Andy Fletchers do-follow search engines recently. It's very very good and fast.

---------------------------------



I'm really tired now, i have to go. There's so much more i could talk about, too much.

Once you have these basics down it's just a case of expanding (researching more keywords for content) and gaining more of google's trust by gaining the bets backlinks possible.

Your website should go up and up at that point.

One last thing, i never really bothered with backlinks at first which was a big mistake, once you've launched your website, most of your time will be spent building these backlinks. You will spend day after day looking for good backlinks. Just don't go buying 10,000 for $2 because it just won't work. You'd be better off with one PR 4 backlink from a trust website.

There are many good WSOs being run.

At the same time, there are two threads on article
marketing which will be useful.
