After you get your pages done properly and submitted to search engines, you need to go to pay-per-click engines and set yourself up at each one. You will need to deposit money at each one and bid on keywords that are relevant to your site. You also need to check each one preferably every day to see how much you are spending and where you rank for your keywords.

The traffic you get from search engines and pay-per-click search engines is highly targeted traffic. With consistent "tweaking", you can do very well online using just these two methods. It is time-consuming and requires knowledge of what you are doing, but if done properly, you will see great rewards.

Why don't you learn from my old mate down in creek? Old Platty Platypus puddles up all mud at edges of creek. This sends a cloud of advertising if you like to call it that and attracts Barramundi who support him by joining him to feed for FREE."

Oh for goodness sake Sam, you're just being ridiculous, how can that possibly relate to Internet marketing?

"OK" sighed Sam, "let me try and explain it in your convoluted terms. You have two things, a 100% optin e-zine and a great program, don't you?"

Yes Sam, I have, so what?

"If you run a simple little contest in your e-zine something like this: Lets say you give away a FREE Sponsor ad to a winner who subscribes to special marketing Newsletter that your program publishes and you run this contest in your own e-zine. Now what would happen?"

Without waiting for an answer Sam continued;

"You would find more subscribers would actually read your e-zine looking for various contests so they can advertise for FREE. Also they would all get benefits from knowledge they get for FREE in program's newsletter.

Also, when more people realise how valuable that new knowledge is, you will find that more and more will join with you just to get your support and training. Surely that makes sense to you now, hey! You don't think that I don't make use of FREE Ad contests do you?"

OK Sam, I'll give it a go. I just wish you'd pointed me in this direction months ago instead of leaving it till now. Come on mate you'd better take me home it's almost time for lunch. What words of wisdom are you going to come up with tomorrow Sam?

"None if we don't soon get home for lunch!" Sam always has to have last word.
