Image by itselea via Flickr Sometimes email spammers like Webmasters Kit DOT com just get to me.

I use Eudora as my email software and have been very happy with it. Eudora detects and removes about 98% of the spam I get every day, automatically. There are always some emails that do get through the filters but I can usually detect them at a glance, however there are those that still need to be looked at.

These are the ones that really bug me because they take me away from serious work but it’s something that has to be done, right.

The emails that get through are sneaky spammy emails and they can get under my skin if I don’t keep my focus. Well today one of those emails got under my skin. Maybe it’s because we went right down to a frost last night and I don’t want summer to leave.

This post is really a rant and I am letting off a bit of stream, I will try not to swear, too much.

I guess what I am talking about is email etiquette. I will use Webmaster Kits as my example as they are the latest to spam my email box.

I actually received two very similar emails this morning. The first from Webmaster Kits which has no mention of how they found me, who I am and what my web site says. The second was just the opposite, they made sure to mention who I am and what I do on that particular website.

My response to these emails was completely different from each other.

The email from Webmaster Kits DOT come basically pointed out the fact that I had requested the info yet I have no recollection of this at all. I must be getting old. Maybe it was from a while back so I checked the info on their link.

Currently Webmasters Kit DOT com has

• Zero PR
• Zero indexed pages
• Zero backlinks
• Cached on Aug. 06, 2008

This is telling me they are a new site. I think if Google removed them from their index they would not have any cached pages.

There was no info about me or my site in their email leading me to think they just bought me email address from a harvested email list.

Now the second email had an apology for using my email address but they also gave details telling me they know about me and my website. I had a completely different reaction to this email and will at least respond in a positive way.

It really burns my behind when people try to make it look like I belong to something and then send me a spam email marked as a private message. Places like WebMasters Kit DOT com.

I don’t mind being contacted for legit business like the second emailer did but spamming me won’t get my business.

So for future reference, if you are planning to spam your way to the top don’t bother go back and get a real day job.

There I feel better now time for another coffee.

Image via Wikipedia Find a profitable niche

A niche market is composed of individuals and businesses that have similar interests and needs, which can be readily identified and that can be easily targeted and reached.

You first step, if you don’t want to be backtracking all the time, is to find your niche. Don’t make it your last step after building a site. You need to know who you are before you even get started

I suggest you start with something you are passionate and knowledgeable about as this will give you more of a chance and you should not run out of energy or things to say. I should point out that you need find a niche that people spend money on if you plan to make money online with that idea.

Take the time now to determine demand and need for what you’re offering, is it broad or is it targeted.

Keyword Research

There are many places you can go to do your keyword search to get ideas flowing. Start with a broad topic like “sports” and narrowing it down bit by bit until you find what fits you and you’ve turned it into something very specific and targeted.

Make your niche different. Think about what will make you the best of the best in your niche.

Take the time to offer bonuses and free ebooks to get people interested in your products and topics. This can be a great way to draw more attention to your web site.

Accent the positive characteristics of whatever your product or topic is.

• what makes it the best
• highlight that focus on it
• position yourself to be the best

Always take the time to check out your competition. You will also study other websites involved in your niche, are they broader or more narrow than you are thinking?

Do a bit of surveying, talk to people, are they interested in your product or idea, what do they think are the best points, get input from outside sources, neutral parties, and from people involved in similar businesses for a variety of opinions and thoughts.

I have found that sometimes it’s best to leave your family and friends out of this project if they are at all negative. That can sap your engergy and even causes some to quit.

Visualize this: once a piece of writing is forwarded to an article index, it can chosen up by a lot of online and offline publications. And since such writing piece cannot be reprinted without| putting the accompanying resource box, you’d be able to reveal your URL to several persons.

But here’s the point: article marketing is an obligation. You will need to compose and present no less than 4 pieces of writing each week just to be competitive.

But what if you don’t have the time to compose and present compositions that regularly?

Is there an easier method to carry out things?

You’re in luck! There is really a fairly novel means that assures to put your website in the front page of SERPs just by tendering one piece of writing -correct, just ONE.

This technique is coined Bum Marketing, and it was conceptualized by a ground-breaking online marketer named Travis Sago. When it was first issued by the closing stages of 2006, it made rather an influence in the scene of eCommerce, and for nice grounds at that.

So what is Bum Marketing and how, precisely, does it operate?

Bum Marketing begins with the assortment of the correct keywords. Nothing new you might think? Consider one more time. We’re not just looking for any keywords. We’re looking for a saying that persons really utilize to look for information online, where such saying commands a lot of searches but is supplied by only a few websites.

For example, you have chosen the theme “dog training.” The theme directs thousands upon thousands of searches everyday. However, the precise keywords of “dog training” brings numerous web sites in the search engines.

The theme is too universal. If you utilize the keywords as they are, you won’t be able to obtain a lot of visitors for your site.

The remedy? You need to restrict it.

“How to guide your dog to get the paper,” the precise key phrase, gets a mere 300,000 web sites. This figure is simple to control!

The next step you need to accomplish is to compose a composition that will encompass the key line above. The principal line should come up at least thrice for every 100 words of text. A 250 to 1,000 word article will be enough.
