The following are some of my best trade secrets. Please only use them for Good.

This article has been developed as an internet marketing how-to for entrepreneurs and small businesses who make up 95% of businesses, yet are currently underserved by the professional search-marketing industry, and are often poorly self-served due to lack of expertise and time.

Let's Begin. A successful internet marketing program almost always beings with

Keyword Research:Another technique for converting searchers are finding ""indirect keywords"", where somebody who is searching for one thing, though not what you are offering as a product or service, would still be interested in your product€ ”for instance somebody is looking up how to fix a dent in their car themselves, and you can offer them professional dent removal services. One great use of this is running ads for the names of your competitors, and as people look up their services, they will then also be able to see your offerings

Next, convert your keyword list into an effective Pay-Per-Click campaign to drive targeted traffic to your website.

You should have at least these three subdivisions in your keyword list. If you offer services nation-wide, you can just go ahead and run only national ads using these keyword lists. If you have a local geographic area that you service, more advanced techniques should be used.

You should have a generic list of all of the services which you offer -- for example, accounting -- which may include your non-competitor-name ""indirect keywords"". If you only serve a local market, these should be put into a geo-targeted campaign to keep people you outside of your market from seeing your ads, clicking them, and costing you money.

You should have a list of all of the cities you service, multiplied by the services you offer (i.e. Chicago accountant, Naperville Accountant, Elmhurst Accountant, etc.). This should be run as a national or global campaign, using the Ad to disambiguate the location of your offerings from other cities in the world with the same name.

You should have list of the names of all of your competitors. This can be run as a geo-targeted ad if you service only a particular area -- especially when you have national companies listed as your competitors.

For small businesses, there are a couple approaches which work well. To show up for searches in the keyword list of all of the cities you service, multiplied by the services you offer, making a page listing all of the services you offer and then all of the cities you serve will get you to show up well in the search engine results for many of these searches.

To show up for the more competitive terms, due to the search engine algorithms, you are going to need links to your website. We have a pre-sorted list of directories

(www.WebAndGraphicSolutions.com/link-directories.html) you can submit your site to in order to build inbound links to your website ( be sure to list the Title as the keywords you want to show up for), and going through this list is usually enough to get on the first page for any major profession in most major metropolitan areas. Well done -- you have now covered your keyword universe and beyond with an effective internet marketing campaign.
