Dynamics of Speed Reading

by Dr. Jay Polmar

ACCELERATION THROUGH PACING:

Various hand movements can cause acceleration of reading speed. We are about to introduce you to several hand movements that will accelerate your reading ability. Try each one and see which suits you best.

BASIC PACING:

Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don’t have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.

The method is easy. You’ll replace all your bad habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. Here’s how to break each of these habits automatically while increasing your reading speed.

You’ll read without sub-vocalizing, hearing it your mind.

To understand this concept, you must understand that you’ve got this nemesis, an inner voice who is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain. We did experiments in Hawaii, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your rate of speech won’t limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work.

Begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:

Extend your index finger, close all others. As you notice I’ve indicated a hand holding a pencil earlier to use for pacing. That can come later. Use you index finger as a beginner Speed reading student.

DYNAMIC SPEED READING program will teach you how to develop these skills to enhance your reading ability and speed through practice and exercises. Soon, you could soon be reading twice as fast as you ever have and retaining valuable information to increase your comprehension and improve your grades.

Dr. Jay Polmar is the founder of www.speedread.org, a research organization that’s developed speed reading courses for people worldwide and has taught over 100,000 students throughout the world.

Work From Home Using Articles To Drive Sales Through The Roof!

by Paul Cherry

Articles marketing is a great way to make money online. If you are new to making money online or article marketing or are a pro article marketing can be a great source of income we all know.

There are many ways article marketing helps people make money online. Submitting your articles to article directories, your articles will be fair game to webmasters who are looking for original content to place on their websites.

The articles that you have submitted to article directories may also be read by people who find them while searching online. This could give your writing quite a lot more exposure than ever!

You can use the articles that you write to generate free traffic to your website so you generate more money. You can do this by placing a link directly to your website in your article or in your author box.

You could also use your articles to create a website. If you create a website that consists of informative articles on a specific topic you can sell advertising on your website to related businesses. If you decide to create a website using your articles, you could also place Google Adsense ads on your website and get paid each time a visitor clicks on one of your Adsense ads.

You could turn your informative articles into your own ebook and sell them for a profit, or you could even turn your articles into an email course.

Some internet marketers write informative articles on topics related to working from home or how to make money online. They then include a special affiliate link in their articles to the affiliate product that they are promoting. When a reader clicks on the link and purchases the product the author makes a commission from home.

When you are writing articles to make money, an important point to remember is you will be more successful if your articles are informative and have valuable content. It’s important to build trust with your reader and actually give them something they can build upon.

If you can give the reader valuable information that is useful to them, then you will be building a trusting relationship with that reader. This way when you recommend a product or website, to your reader, they will be much more likely to follow your advice because you have already given them something of value and you have already initiated a trusting relationship with them.

Remember when writing articles keep them short. People are bombarded with information every day. Few people have the time or the interest in reading long articles. If you can give your reader interesting and valuable information in 600 to 645 words, you will find your articles getting read with results.

Unique Article Marketing-What Is it and Does It Work?

by Todd Harmons

This lesson will be about unique article marketing. It will cover many of the top unique article marketing tips. If you are serious about article marketing you must submit unique articles to the article directories. If you mass submit the same article to different sites you’re articles will not be as effective or get the web traffic you could obtain with unique articles submission. Read on for my simple but explosive tips.

What is unique article marketing? The answer is quite simple. It is simply unique articles to the article directory sites. Simple enough right! Well you came to this article marketing lesson site to learn more than that! Unique article marketing is simple but it is a more than just submitting unique articles. Let’s back up a bit.

Unique articles must not be basically the same article with just a few words changed. It must be more unique than that. The search engines will easily detect if you’re articles are basically the same. Here is where you must make your articles unique.

Your article titles must be unique. This is very important. I strongly suggest a keyword tool to help you put keywords in your article titles. There are many free keyword tool sites and some that charge a fee but they are well worth it. You can have a great unique article but your readers must be able to find you. I also suggest long tailed keywords. They are more effective most of the time because the competition is so stiff for the top keywords. The main point make each title relevant to your article and include different keywords in each title.

Here is another key unique article marketing strategy. Try to make articles at least 30% unique. Simple enough. It will take longer to make your articles unique but well worth the time. When your articles get submitted you may have different ones show up in the search engines. How cool and powerful would that be.

Last but not least is a often overlooked unique article marketing tip. You must and I repeat you must make your resource boxes with unique content. By this I mean use different keywords and domain names in them. What this means is to insert different domains related to your articles in your resource boxes. When you do this you will help the different domains get backlinks which will drive your sites higher up the rankings.

I want to thank you for reading my unique article marketing guide. I also recommend using a article submission service that will submit your articles to the directories in unique format. I also suggest not mass submitting your articles to hundreds of sites overnight with these services. A recommended submission of 10-20 unique articles a day may get you great results. I use the Unique Article Wizard because it makes my articles unique, submits them to hundreds of article directories, and also gives you the ability to submit your articles in a natural way to the number of sites you select daily.

Understanding the Affiliate Industry: The Only Affiliate Marketing Secret You Will Ever Need

by Gene Jimenez

The affiliate industry is incredibly simple to understand. It is open to everyone, and everyone starts in the same place— i.e. at zilch! But, our business is dominated by a myth that there is some big hidden “secret” to making money. Folks, there simply isn’t. There is only one— ONE— affiliate marketing secret, and that is the secret of traffic. And traffic’s no secret either! Here are three pointers to help you get to grips with this crucial problem of traffic.

1. What is the best price to pay for traffic?

You can pay for all the traffic you want, or you can get it for free. With an unlimited budget, you can have unlimited traffic.

(No, I am not being sarcastic! There is a point here that I will come back to below.)

Free traffic is my favorite kind!

But that’s just me. You might feel differently. You may think it’s important to pay for it. OK, fine.

But then…

2. Decide how long are you willing to wait for traffic.

Paid traffic can be had today. Literally.

You do that through PPC ads on the big search engines.

A huge part of the so-called “affiliate marketing secret” books teach better and more clever ways to to do this.

But fundamentally the strategy is…

Go to a search engine. Open your account and set your budget. Do your keyword research and write some ads. Link those ads to your affiliate URL. Click and save. Whatever traffic you can afford, you will have.

The affiliate industry spends a lot of its resources selling us this strategy. As strategies go, I have no argument with it. It works.

But… with PPC, we pay for our errors!

That does not appeal to you?

All right, then. If that is the case…

3. Look at your long term goals.

I love free traffic. Not like. Love.

The great advantage of this type of preferred traffic is that is exposes not just the product, but you, the marketer.

If you expect to be in business for a long time (and maybe you don’t!), then plan on developing your profile as an expert in your niche.

If you take away nothing else from this short article, I hope you see that the question of traffic is not just a question for today.

Traffic is tomorrow’s problem, and next year’s.

You’ve got to ask yourself: “Why am I in business? What do I hope to accomplish? How much money will it take for me to feel that I have ‘arrived’?”

Forums and articles are places where we market not just our product, but ourselves.

People get to feel you out, in a manner of speaking. They get to know you and decide whether they want to know more.

No PPC ad will ever do that. Unless, of course, the ad is for building a list— and that’s another day’s work!

The great disadvantage of articles and forums: it takes time and work to establish yourself as the “expert”.

So, do you want to be a niche expert, or just make some sales and go do something else? Either is perfectly OK. But decide which you want.

And then…

..stick to it!

To summarize: Some people are in the affiliate game for life; others just want to dip their toe in the water. Success in the affiliate industry is about traffic: how to get it and how to keep it. There is no other “affiliate marketing secret”, if you want to call it that. You have to decide what kind of traffic you want, because different types of traffic will lead to different outcomes. No one can decide this for you. It’s entirely up to you.

The Unique Article Wizard Rewrites PLR Articles. Than I use the wizard to submit my now unique content articles to hundreds of websites.

The Keywords That You Need For Your Business

by Christopher Rom

An Internet advertising model used on websites that use a Pay per click (PPC) system is when an advertiser pays the marketer only when their ad is clicked. An advertiser will typically bid on keyword or keyword phrases relevant to their target market. Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than using a bidding system. The first step is to decide your budget and the level of risk you are willing to take. These aspects will help you determine which PPC search engine(s) you ultimately choose to start with. The larger search engines have a less risky endeavor, because they have an excellent coverage and offer a lot of assistance to their users. But they are the most expensive in terms of how much money you must spend to acquire a visible ranking.

Thee amounts of money an advertiser pays search engine and other Internet publishers for a single click on its advertisement that brings one visitor to its website is called Cost per click (CPC). This seeks to drive a high volume of traffic to one site, PPC implements a so called affiliate model that will provide purchase opportunities wherever people may be surfing. It does this by offering financial incentives (in the form of a percentage of revenue) to affiliated partner sites. The affiliates provide purchase-point click-through to the merchant. This is considered a pay-for-performance model so if an affiliate does not generate sales it represents no cost or loss to the merchant. Variations include, banner exchange, pay-per-click, and revenue sharing programs. The second step is to choose your keywords.

With fierce competition for specific keywords on a given PPC search engine. Most PPC search engines automate the bidding process for you, but personal involvement and the careful use of third-party tools by the user is advisable to ensure that the tracking mechanisms built into the search engine’s control panel are in sync with what is actually happening. The general rule was that the business that bid the highest amount of money for a specific keyword would be ranked first, the second would be second, etc. An element called “quality score” has become the determining factor for PPC search engines to limit the number of PPC ads on a results page to less than 10, and unless you are in the first 3 or 4 of the PPC ads, you are much less likely to be visited by visitors.

The apparent simplicity can be deceiving. You can set up a PPC on a search engine with only a few steps and get results that will satisfy you, but if you want to milk all that you can from the PPC method of advertising, you need to be prepared to take advantage of every option and every advantage available to you. You need to investigate the details of the programs you are taking part in, keep an eagle eye on your bids and the performance of your ads, and spend time keeping up with the latest changes in the search engines to ensure your money is placed where it will do the most good. It takes time and effort, but it is not rocket science - at least not yet!

If you utilize PPC ads on your websites this will display an advertisement when a keyword query matches an advertiser’s keyword list, or when a content site displays relevant content. These advertisements are known as sponsored links or sponsored ads and will appear adjacent to or above organic results on search engine results pages, or where an advertiser chooses on a content site.

There are many PPC providers that exist, Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and Microsoft adCenter are the three largest network operators, and all three operate under a bid-based model. Cost per click (CPC) varies depending on the search engine and the level of competition for a particular keyword. There are plenty of free, independent tools available to help you research keywords. Many will also reveal current bids for specific words or phrases on different search engines.

Use the most popular PPC search engine which is Google; their PPC advertising program is called AdWords. The next most popular search engines are Yahoo!, MSN Live, and Ask. A large number of other search engines offering PPC advertising opportunities are available - ranging from metasearch engines that incorporate traffic from numerous other engines and online sources all the way to small, niche search engines that specialize in one or more categories or topics of interest. Here at PPC Universe, we have included reviews of what we consider to be the Top 10 Search Engines, as well as a section of reviews of other search engines that offer paid advertising opportunities.

With this resent boom many online business owners still are not understanding the meaning of the term “pay-per-click advertising,” and they don’t realize its enormous potential for increasing their online presence and bringing more traffic to your website. A PPC’s listings on a search engine results page typically consists of a title, which is usually a short heading (around 50 characters maximum) and/or a long (typically no more than 200 characters) description of your service with some type of promotional wording, as well as a link to your website. Even those who understand basic search engine marketing techniques sometimes blunder when making the distinction between pay-per-click ad campaigns and organic search engine optimization.

The third step is the composition of the headline that will appear on the search results page, and a description of your product or service, or other promotional text. Pay-per-click (PPC) search engines are those that offer a marketing option to the users. PPC advertising is the placement of a small ad on the search results page for a specific keyword or keywords in return for a specified payment when a visitor actually clicks on the ad. Advertisers pay nothing to appear on the results page per se; they only pay the amount they have agreed to (or bid for) when someone actually clicks on their ad and is taken to the landing page on their website. The term “pay per click” means just what it says each advertiser pays you each time a visitor clicks on the ad.

Then you must open an account with a PPC search engine. Be prepared to supply your name, company name, address, phone number, email address, and so on. As a rule, opening an account is free. No charges apply until you have bid on the search words you want and have funded your account. Be sure to read the fine print in any of the agreements you choose as to be clear on minimum deposits required, as well as what happens to your deposit if you decide to cancel your campaign. The normal deposit for a PPC ad campaign is usually between $20 and $60. Some search engines will even give you a nominal amount of money as a bonus to begin your campaign.When you first register the keywords you have chosen with the search engine you must specify the maximum amount you are willing to spend for those keywords. The price of a keyword can range anywhere from 1 cent to a few dollars or more depending on its popularity as a search term.

Now the competition being so fierce, most PPC search engines do not require a minimum amount of money be invested in a campaign, some will even give you a nominal amount of money to begin your campaign. Some may require a deposit, but this money is then applied to your account. Be sure to check out the fine print in the agreement to be clear on minimums required, deposits required, restrictions when you cancel your campaign. But most of you need to spend a fair amount of time monitoring your campaign, especially in the beginning.

With more and more people looking online for information about products and making more purchases online than ever before, getting the potential client early on takes on even more importance. The highly relevant PPC ads results on the first search engine results pages will be a prime source for conversions and sales. PPC ad programs are becoming easier for first-time advertisers online to understand and use. The programs are flexible, can handle anything from one keyword to thousands of keywords, offer an array of bells and whistles, and come packaged with analytic and reporting options that range that are simple with some parts more complex for the novice.

Since you have become knowledgeable of the basics of PPC and have learned more about the options, tools, and search engines that offer this form of marketing, you will be in a position to fine tune your campaigns and perhaps try some of the niche-market PPC search engines that can offer lower keyword costs and may be more suited to your product/service. Even companies with experience in online marketing struggle with the intricacies of the techniques needed to judge which PPC search engine to use and how best to play the bidding game. Each campaign is different and depending upon the bid amounts, number of actual click-throughs and the Return on Investment (ROI) generated.

Have you decided to give pay-per-click advertising a try, to start you need to choose a search engine on which to advertise. Different search engines will offer different advantages and disadvantages and the amount of risk you are willing to take depends upon your needs. It’s not too difficult to begin to consider and evaluate the usefulness and efficacy of PPC advertising for your own products and services. The rewards can be good and the risks can be minimized as long as you check out the keyword research. It is definitely worth consideration for any online business today.

AdWords Advertising Explained

by Justin Harrison

Campaigns on AdWords are designed to be small effectively written ads. Even though they are small they can be very effective in driving users tho your web site.

Two methods exist and they depend on where you are going to place your advertisement. During the set up process of the AdWords campaign you will be given a couple of options and you can decide to place your ad on the search or content network (Adsense) or you can place it on both networks.

Search network advertisements are assigned many keywords that would match the text of the advertisement and that is an excellent method for getting searches to locate your product or service.

Within the content network, as opposed to the other, your ad will be surrounded by an article or other content which is related. So in this scenario, your ad is viewed by readers who are maybe not thinking about purchasing at the moment, so, they are only browsing and not searching.

Search advertisements, as has been proven, are normally a better way to reach your audience than contextual advertisements. Still, you could attempt to bring in traffic from both areas by designing multiple, separate ad series through assigning one to the search network and the other to the content network, and this could very easily help you expand your traffic.

Advertisers spend a lot of time and money making their advertisements, and they tend to close in on a certain age group, and a certain peer group. And when people in that age group click on the ads, they know they have did what they have set out to do. And they make they money they want.

If you have an active search advert on AdWords and want to try out the content network, you may wish targeting content advertising separately. Although it may be possible for you to reproduce your search network advertising copy verbatim, the content network has a more passive audience and this approach may not be appropriate. Reworking of the copy with this in mind may prove to be a more effective campaign.

In the final analysis a well run search network campaign is usually the most effective way to generate business but with a little ingenuity and well written copy there is no reason why this could not be supported by a parallel campaign on the content network.
