Come to think of it, haven't seen my wife since that day. Did I offend you dear?

Search Engine and Link placement companies have become very big in last couple of years. One of biggest reasons this is true, people just don't have time to build a successful link program or submit to sheer numbers of Search Engines required to make a difference.

There is also time it takes to submit to those who require individual submissions. These will make a huge difference to your traffic when they are submitted correctly.

There are hundreds of people out there offering to submit your website for you. Go over to Ebay and take a look during any 24 hour period. You will find a whole lot of auctions for this type software. Prest-o,Chang-o, bid, win and we have a fantastic company that will send, blah, blah, blah.

Don't get led down this road. Most of time, this will get you nothing but some links you would be better off without. Second, they will do you no good with any of search engines that really count.

Check around with those who are finding success on net. One thing most every single one will have in place is a successful linking and search engine program.

I kept telling myself, it was a waste of money and there were much more efficient ways of spending my money.

How wrong I was!

After two months of having one of these companies submit my site, number of links to my site is increasing rapidly. Before my site was submitted there was no traffic from any of major search engines, now it is part of every day routine. The names Yahoo, AltaVista, Excite and many more are norm.

This was best marketing move I've made in past few months. Just wish I had done it a long time ago. Live and learn. Actually should have just listened. Have been told numerous times by successful people that it was a must.

Had to have stubborn streak first. LOL

Here's one that has a plan to fit almost any budget. There are more legitimate ones as well. Recommend these guys because of quick reliable service. Great feedback on them and results they have gotten for their customers.

Check out their Guarantees. This is a great investment for your business.

Still not enough? OK, One more.

This one is for a very limited time but oh what a sweet deal it is.

Here's deal.

Go to http://www.ultifind.com

On top of page, click add your site. Then go through process of opening an account. This is free. In fact, you will get $10 deposited to your account for signing up.

After you have created an account, log-in. Click on link that says affiliate.

It will give you HTML code for a search box. Put this search box on your web site. You will get 10% for each click to any bidded site.

That's good as most sites are only paying 5%, but that's just a tease.

The real bonus here is an offer that is not even listed.

For first group of affiliates who put a search box on their site, you will get $20 deposited to your UltiFind account.

The kicker here is that you can lock this deal in for life. As long as you keep a search box on your site, you will have $20 deposited to your account each month.

This is a phenomenal offer and as I said, it is not even advertised. They are looking for a few more webmasters to participate and this offer will be ended permanently.

If you have a website, don't miss this great opportunity. Take a minute and think about what you can lock in for future of your website.

To reserve your spot:

1. Join - Sign up for an account with UltiFind

2. Put affiliate box on at least one of your sites. Use as many pages or site as you want. Remember, you will receive 10% of each click through. Most are paying 5%.

3. Here's gold! Send an email to mailto:rdj@televar.com?subject=ultifindlifetimebonus

Include your username and URL where search box is located. You are locked in for life. You will now get $20 deposited into your account each month that you keep a search box.

This is a can't lose offer. Not only will 10% bring in some nice credit as this site grows but money deposited into a Pay-Per-Click for a Lifetime. WOW

Not sure how much longer this will last, so better secure your spot now!

There are some pretty good ideas here for generating more traffic to your site.

We started this article with question: "How Much Traffic is Enough"?

There is no such thing as enough when it comes to traffic.

Instead, just keep on a building!

I keep a constant watch on Ebay for banner impressions. Watch a few auctions and get a feel for what kind of prices they are going for. Then start watching for some good deals.

There are a lot of places that will put your banner on their site with unlimited impressions for a month, two months or even more.

There have been a few companies lately offering unlimited banners for life of their site. Banners may not be road to getting rich if you are trying to sell them but they sure can be a nice way to get a little name recognition for advertiser.

A little word of caution here. Check out person who is auctioning off product. Ebay allows feedback on every transaction and you can get a pretty good picture of what kind of person you are dealing with. Make sure you check before bidding.

Here is a link to section that has banner auctions.

So many people think they have to get a return on their advertising investment today. You will find those who are very successful are always looking towards tomorrow.

Start thinking about long term when spending money on advertising. A little money on branding yourself each month will go a long ways towards assuring your business success in future. Think beyond today and start branding your future.
