Internet Surfers Get Rewarded
Sick of watching the earnings that search engines post quarter after quarter, two twenty-somethings have started a Web site that gives users a way to share in the wealth. mySearchBonus.com allows users to earn points every time they search the web. They can redeem those points for gas cards, gift certificates, consumer electronics, and other prizes. There is no catch. The site generates revenue only through ad sales, and does not solicit to users or re-sell their information. And mySearchBonus.com utilizes the Google search engine, so there is no difference in the results they’re getting — just in the rewards. Every time a registered user searches through mySearchBonus.com, he/she earns one point. Those points are tallied in a window at the top of the screen, and can be redeemed starting at 500 points. That means that, with only 500 Web searches, you can earn $5 worth of free gas to the station of your choosing! Ry Racherbaumer, co-founder of mySearchBonus, said: “We designed it so that a user is able to start using it immediately. We don’t want people to go through lengthy registration processes. We just want them to use the search engine and start earning points.” Co-founder Geoff Lilienfeld said that the most common question he hears is what’s the catch? “The site earns money off of the advertising revenue just like any search engine,” he said. “We simply use free gas as an incentive to get users to use the search engine. It is truly a win-win situation.” The site has been extremely successful in the recent weeks. Lots of students and young professionals are flocking to receive free rewards. With gas prices on the rise more and more will be going to similar sites to try to ease the strain on their wallet.

Who Has The Largest Retail Location In The World? The Internet, That’s Who!
We often hear about the many thousands of locations where you can find a Wal-Mart, or a Target, or even the remaining K-Marts. But none of these retail giants can even come close to the Internet. I remember when many of us first got online circa 1997. There were only 17% of Americans online and most countries around the world had barely even heard of the World Wide Web. Within a few short years, Amazon-com had become the biggest bookstore in history with literally millions of books at their fingertips. eBay became the largest retail operation in history and the biggest retail business in the world. But those giant retailers that the media always points to aren’t the real story. From day one, the Internet was about offering people everywhere access to products, services, and ideas from everywhere else. The Net was about customizing. Instead of going to Wal-Mart and choosing one of the three products they offered in the category of your choosing, you are able to go online and choose from just as many products as exist. Take something like jewelry. Wal-Mart (and I only use them as an example because they’re in practically every community in America) offers a jewelry area with several hundred items. The Internet gives you quick access to literally MILLIONS of jewelry items. And because most online stores are largely virtual, their costs are extremely low. That means while a discount retail store discounts products 20% or 30%, an online store can discount 40% to 70% and more. And they don’t just do that during special sales — online retailers give those kinds of savings every day. There was a time when people thought they couldn’t judge a product unless they could hold it in their hand. But today, high resolution photographs, experiences provided by other shoppers, independent reviews, and more give shoppers a better chance than ever to find exactly the item they need — AND have total trust that the item will work perfectly for them. So give yourself a fun online shopping spree today. You’ll get products your neighbors can’t find locally, you’ll get those products at amazingly low prices, and you can do it all without leaving the comfort of your home or office.

Is It Possible To Earn A Fulltime Income Online?
Most of us have seen numerous adverts promoting programs that will earn us yachts and mansions for only a few dollars investment. Too good to be true? Unfortunately yes. Most of the time you will waste time and money with these programs. So is there a way to make a full time income from only working online a few hours per day? The short answer is yes but you need to put in a lot more time than a few hours per day to start with. Over the past 6 months I have worked up to 12 hours per day building an income to replace the one I lost when I left my previous job. It takes dedication and focus and slowly but surely your income will grow to the point that you can cut back your hours and get some quality time with your family. The first thing you need to do is to sit down and have a long hard think about what you want from life. I would bet that most of you will at first think about the fast cars and mansions and the celebrity lifestyles that are depicted in many aspirational adverts. However think harder, these are things you would like to have not what you want from life. If after you’ve thought deeply you decide that you want to see your family grow up, you want to be able to make it to your children’s school concert and not have to work late on that important project. If you decide that you want to be able to take your wife for a romantic lunch before you collect the kids from school then you have the correct frame of mind to start making an income for yourself. If you don’t have a family and you decide you want to be self reliant and not a wage slave then you are on the way. Be realistic and you won’t be disappointed. Now you know what you want and you know it’s realistic it’s time to get yourself a strategy. I like to think of my income building strategy in terms of building a house, before you put up the walls and roof, the part of the house you can see and admire you need to put in the foundations. The foundation of your income has to be a steady source of reliable income that you can build on. For this I built a number of content websites and monetized them by adding Adverts and Amazon feeds. I write articles and submit them to directories. I do everything I can to get the sites into the search engines and get traffic to them. Once the visitors started coming and I was getting a steady income then it’s time to branch out and work on the 4 walls of our strategy. The second part of the strategy involves taking some profit from the site building and investing it in well researched programs that have a long history of paying out. You need to do your research and due diligence here and spread the risk among a number of programs if you have any doubts about a program walk away. Now you have your foundation and 4 walls in place it’s time to top it all off with the roof. The Roof like in your house is the top level of our strategy, this is where you take everything you have learned building your foundations and walls and apply it to your own programs, by now you will know what works, you will have developed a network of contacts through programs and forums and you are ready to develop your own programs. The great thing about this strategy is that if you have no spare cash you can start out with very little, in fact it is possible to start out with $0.00 and turn this into a full-time income by clever use of resources. If you don’t believe that this is possible then have a look at the blog detailed in the resource box at the end of this article and watch start with $0.00 and prove there is such a thing as a free lunch. Remember be focused and realistic and a full time income is within your grasp.

Why Translating Your Website in Hindi Makes Better Sense
Why Translating Your Website in Hindi Makes Better Sense Did you know that in 2002, an estimated 32% of Internet users were non-English speakers? With the phenomenal growth of computer usage and the spread of the net fever, especially in the third world countries, the figure would have multiplied manifold in the past 4 years. In fact, the Internet is fast becoming the basic and fundamental source and dissemination of information, purchases of goods and services worldwide. In addition, those computer and Internet users are increasingly from non-English speaking countries. This figure is constantly rising. In response, businesses have quickly become aware of the benefits of making their websites relevant to the native languages of the target audience. Marketing is all about speaking the customers’ language There is no denying that the rest of the world outside of English-speaking countries is coming online faster than never before. What is the state of affairs, and how does that impact businesses worldwide? How serious is the impact of everyone “going global”? And, more importantly, what needs to be done with our Websites to fully take advantage of this wave of non-English-speaking people coming online? Whether or not a person speaks English has really nothing to do with the responsibility of a Website to communicate in the language of the target markets. Indians read English just fine, and yet they feel comfortable to surf in their own language. They live their life in their own language, not in English. If you want to attract their attention, your site has to go where they are, and speak to them in their own language. Outside the seven countries where English is native, and India too, there is no form of marketing in any country that happens in English. If someone doesn’t believe this, they should visit Europe, Asia or South America. People live their life in their own language, and your marketing better follow, whether the media is newspaper/magazine ads/articles, radio/TV, billboards… or Websites. Enter Website Translation Translating a Website is a viable answer because you then make an existing website accessible, usable and culturally suitable to your specific target audience. This requires both programming expertise and linguistic/cultural knowledge. In the majority of cases it is the lack of linguistic and cultural input that lets a website localization project down. In order to give an insight into the impact culture has on website localization the following examples depict areas in which a solid understanding of the target culture is necessary. Some very good reasons to translate your website into Hindi • One of the official languages of India, with a population of over 1 billion. Hindi has 366 million first-language speakers; additional 121 million second-language speakers. Spoken throughout northern India: Delhi; Uttar Pradesh; Rajasthan; Punjab; Madhya Pradesh; northern Bihar; Himachal Pradesh. • Hindi is also spoken in Bangladesh, Belize, Botswana, Germany, Kenya, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Uganda, UAE, United Kingdom, USA, Yemen, and Zambia. • With the growing numbers of Indans buying PC’s and Internet access available from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, English speakers will soon be in the minority when it comes to Internet use. • Results of research carried out by Nielsen-Net ratings in March 2005 described foreign internet markets as “low hanging fruit,” i.e. if you have the will and foresight there are massive revenues to be found for relatively little effort. • As Kaizad Gotla, senior analyst at Nielsen-Netratings states, “The easiest opportunities are in countries where Internet usage patterns and user/site relationships are less established. Acquiring users in markets that are currently in their growth stages will lead to a loyal user base that will pay dividends for Internet companies in the future.” • The ability to communicate to a whole new audience in their own language will undoubtedly yield results not only in a financial sense (cost efficiency) but also in terms of marketing and creating awareness of your brand, service or product. • For non-English speaking users looking for your product or service, you automatically capture their attention. • A Hindi website shows you are thinking about the customer. That little extra effort shows you have thought and cared enough about them to offer the website in their language. • For many cultures, more so in India, there is an issue of trust when it comes to buying over the Internet, especially if they feel it is in a language they are not fully proficient in. Offering them a language alternative allows the customers to feel secure • Search engines lead people to your site. In countries such as China, Japan and France, Google, Yahoo and MSN are not the default search engines. Homegrown search engines are emerging and they are proving successful because they work in native languages and are focused on the habits and needs of their users. In addition, many of the key search engines, especially Google, are developing the capacity to run searches in Hindi. Having pages of your site available in Hindi ensures maximum potential for your site being picked up in searches. Making a website in Hindi or translating the existing website does not complete the task. There are a lot of important, cultural, ethnic issues which form an essential part of the contents of the website in Hindi. Some examples, which need to be decided upon, in greater details, are mentioned below: • Images and pictures – as they carry subtle cultural intonations in them. • Symbols – as with pictures, symbols can cause problems. Icons using fingers such as an OK sign or V-sign may mean different things to different cultures. Western symbols do not always mean the same abroad. • Colors – they are also loaded with cultural meanings. • Ease of navigation – Access to certain pages is also a factor that can be considered as relevant. Culture affects everything we do, say, read, hear and think and even websites cannot escape the influence of culture. The impact of culture on the translation of a website is huge. The above few examples are literally the tip of the iceberg.

Why Your Website Needs Inbound Links
Most web-savvy people quickly learn why they need “links” from other sites pointing at theirs. Your inbound links are one of the most important ways of getting yourself known in your field, generating traffic to your website, and influencing the search engines to notice your site. “Traffic” is what linking is all about. Without traffic your website is useless as a tool for selling your products or communicating your ideas. Getting links from other websites is not the only way to generate traffic, but it is probably the most important one. But how do links generate traffic? **Direct traffic from links** First, links generate direct traffic. Links from sites that share your target audience will be an important source of traffic to your site. A visitor to the other web site sees the link to yours, clicks on it, and becomes your visitor. Some estimates put the percentage of internet traffic resulting from this kind of link as high as 21% of total traffic. Why do people click on these links? One reason is they may view a link to an outside source as an endorsement. They assume the webmaster is saying “Here is a source you will find interesting or helpful”. They are looking for the kind of service you provide, so they click on the link to check you out. But just as important is simple curiosity. Someone sees a text link with intriguing wording like “Powerful Cheap Advertising” or “Win a Free iPod” or “See Pamela Anderson Video” and, depending on their interests, a certain number of people are likely to click on it. This suggests at least three things about your links. First, you should get as many links as possible on pages your target audience is likely to be visiting. The more people see your links, the more traffic you are likely to get. Second, your anchor text (the words that are linked) should be intriguing. It should be short and sweet, and suggest a benefit — a reason for people to click on it. Third, your links should be on pages that people actually look at. Having hundreds of links on pages that nobody ever looks at will not result in traffic — at least not direct traffic. Putting your link on a link exchange page containing hundreds of services similar to yours is not likely to generate very many clicks. This is why exchanging links with link directories is such a questionable waste of time. Web visitors rarely look at these directories. Finding good pages where you can place your link is not always easy. One method is to systematically do searches for your most important keywords — the search phrases people are likely to use when looking for your kind of product or service. Many of the results will be competitors of yours. But one or two may be secondary sources such as directories or reference pages. Getting your link on some of these secondary sources is almost guaranteed to result in traffic, so it is worth the effort — and sometimes the cost — of getting listed in the resources that score high for your keywords. **Traffic from Search Engines** The second reason for getting inbound links is to impress the search engines. Most search engines use the quantity and quality of your inbound links to evaluate the importance and relevance of your site to specific keywords. For instance, if you sell a product like “Full Color Vinyl Banners”, or you are a Real Estate agent servicing “Kitchener Real Estate”, one of your objectives is to rank high for searches done on your primary search phrase (and other similar ones). This will result in traffic because when people search for your important keywords your site is more likely to show up in the search results. The more inbound links you have that relate your site to full color vinyl banners or web promotion services, or “fill in your keyword here”, the higher your site is likely to rank for these terms, and the more search engine traffic you are likely to receive as a result. **Using Articles to get traffic and impress the search engines** Embedding your links in articles is one of the best methods of rapidly increasing your inbound links. Many times a well-written article will show up in hundreds of places on the web. And if it has your link embedded in it, that will obviously increase your inbound links. Webmasters pick up these articles because they want content to enhance the value of their sites. Articles will also generate direct traffic because people who read them are already interested in your subject matter, and are therefore more likely to click on your link. This suggests that the most valuable place to publish your article is in a themed or categorized article resource. For instance, if your product is “health” related, having it published on health-oriented sites will be more valuable than having it published on generic sites. You can even take this a step further. If your article is about something more specific like “mesothelioma advice”, then getting it published on sites that focus on “mesothelioma” will get more “reads”, and have a greater influence on the search engines. Second, when embedding your link, try to use anchor text that contains one of your important keywords, not just your URL or web address. Remember that search engines are dumb. One of your objectives is to have them relate your website to specific search terms (keywords or key phrases). And the best way to do that is to use them as your anchor text.
