So what's problem? Well, none if you are one of small businesses with focus. A whole lot of problems if you lack focus.

There are myriad small business opportunities on net today. And if you do your research and find something you want to associate with, or you create a product for a well-researched target market, you are well on your way to financial success. Or are you?

You see more you become active on net as either someone looking for right opportunity, or as someone who has found right opportunity already, more you are bombarded with choices. Everyday you get emails saying that next best thing since sliced bread has come along.

The new "thing" demands your attention and you get nervous that you might be missing out on another opportunity for fiancial success.

But don't you already have one? At least, haven't you been presented with several great opportunities in last week? So why on earth take a serious look at yet another? Why fragment time you need to spend on your current business with all marketing it takes to get yet another off ground and profitable?

What I am talking about here is something I call "Sign-up-Itis." (Not to be confused with Sinusitis, which can be just as debilitating.)

It goes like this: You find your focus, you are fired up. All is good and you are ready to start working on hundreds of little things you need to do to get traffic and make sales.

You need to get good search engine positioning, you need a links campaign, you have to research ezines in your niche and place ads, you need to set up joint ventures, you need to create and update content on your site, set up a merchant account, a delivery system, and list goes on from there.

Then you get an email from a friend or associate telling you that you HAVE to check out latest and greatest. You do. It's an awesome opportunity. You look at your plate and it's already full with your current project, but plate has a lot of things on it you really don't enjoy doing. It's a lot of work to make any business pay off, as you can see from short list above.

2. You must create a presence on web by linking your site with others. Because that's what most successful sites on web all have in common: They link with sites they would like to share visitors with and they drive traffic to their sites for free with a good, themed link directory. Not a directory of random links, but a directory of links most suited for your visitors and relative to products, services and information you have on your site.

That's what you expect to be listed in on other webmasters' sites, so that's what you have to provide to them in return. You owe your visitors that and you owe your link partners that.

3. Link Popularity Google, for example, uses "link popularity" as an indicator of how "important" your site is. That is, if x number of people are linking to you, I mean they actually took time out to "recommend" visiting you, then your site must be of "x" value to Google searchers.

Webmaster Traffic Tools went from zero visitors and no search engine ranking to a Number 1 listing on Google in less than two months solely because of my linking system. The search engines found me through another site, not by spidering me directly.

You see, when I link, I look for high-traffic sites that are already listed in search engines with high ranking. Google spiders those sites frequently and 99% of time they are going to run into your link somewhere else before they get around to visiting your site for first time directly.

When they see your link they come over and spider your site 1) to guage whether link FROM other site is relevant to that site, giving them higher link popularity and, 2) to make their job easier they spider your site because they are already there.
