So you want to start a business? Good for you. Really, I mean that sincerely. I think about millions of people that let thought pass briefly through their minds on he way to work everyday.

The vas majority of people merely toy with idea at points in their lives when they hate their bosses or their pay or their lack of vacation time. You, on other hand, are investigating what it takes o start a business. At least you are going to find answers here and stop wasting time wondering "what if."

It is very easy to start a business if you do it on internet. You have little overhead involved, no rent, not even products to stock (if you sell electronic goods)!

What's more, there are literally thousands of people marketing other peoples' products as "affiliates." You can literally start a business using other peoples' stock, property, know-how, services, and goods.

I know people who are making astounding amounts of money monthly just selling products that don't even belong to them. I would tell you figures, but you'd never in a million years believe me.

How creative can you be? Well, here's a little story of a guy who started a business online in one of most unusual ways I have heard of in a long time.

How To Increase traffic and get a better rank on Google

By Tony Farrell (c) Copyright 2004

You have a business you want to promote. You’re looking for more traffic to your web site. But, how do you get that traffic and how do you get it for nothing?

Here’s a technique I use to increase web site traffic and get a better rank on Google. But, you need your own web site first. This won’t work for your otherwise.

Having said that, even if you don’t own a web site you should follow some of steps here. The reason will become very clear nearer end of this email.

What you are doing is researching for sites with a Google page rank of at least 4 and upwards that are relevant to content of your site. Then link with them and have them link back to you.

To do this set up another page on your site for purpose of including good quality links from other relevant sites.

Here's how to do it...

1. Download Alexa Toolbar and install it on your computer. Get it here: http://download.alexa.com/index.cgi?p=Dest_W_b_40_T1

2. Download Goole Toolbar and install it on your computer. Get it here: http:/ oolbar.google.com/

3. Create a "Spreadsheet" using "Excel" and create a colum for each of following...

URL, Contact Email, Owner's Name, Alexa Link Popularity, Google Rank, Contact 1, Contact 2, Contact 3, Link Accepted.

4. Go to Google Search Engine and key in a relevant keyword to your niche site.

5. When results come up, go to each site (including Google Ads that may come along with it)

6. Upon arriving at each site first thing to check for is Alexa Traffic Rank that shows up on your Alexa Toolbar. Aim for a traffic rank of 100,000 or less. Anything more than 100,000 leave site and look for another one.

7. Next, look for Google Page Rank. Aim for a PR (Page Rank) of "4" or more. Less than this leave site and look for another one.

8. If you are happy with Page Rank on Google and Traffic Rank on Alexa, then place all relevant details on spreadsheet you've created. Then move onto next site.

9. Do this until you are satisfied with number of possible contacts. You probably should aim to get 5 - 10 sites a day. Keep this up until you have reached desired number of links you want on your page.
