The upcoming London Olympics is not only a great opportunity to showcase human kinetics but also a great opportunity for global business venture. The said sports gathering will make chances for business-oriented individuals– I am one of them–to explore global business potentials. So for now, I am constantly monitoring this event by browsing the Internet. I always to search about London Olympics as well as about globalization or global emerging markets and internet marketing business.

the 2012 olympics
I use Google search engine for search, I usually type keywords like “ olympics in london” to update sites which bear london olympic information– like this one below:

“Over 7.7 million tickets will be going on sale for the london olympics in the summer of 2012. I hope with that many people, they will have a very good plan for transportation. I found out that each ticket that you purchase will also include free travel on public transportation in London for the day of that olympic event, to encourage spectators to use the public transportation system and take in all the sights & cultural events going on throughout the city. This is a good plan as long as the public systems can handle the large crowds. If so, then things should work out well.”

emerging economies
Because I also want to know more about emerging global markets, I also search about these using keywords like “ emerging market monitor”. And luckily, I usually get useful information like what I have just retrieved below:

“The way that the world markets are structured means that we actually need the world markets in places such as India and China to develop in business skills such as manufacturing, design and joint venturing. The world markets

How does the common pay-per-click search engine work?

Most of these pay per click search engines require you to bid on key words or phrases for listing. Minimum bid on most pay per click search engine is 0.01 cent.

But you almost always have to pay MUCH more, especially if you don’t know some secrets explained for example in Affiliate Payload.

The highest bid gets the highest ranking on these keywords, phrases search results. You, the advertiser, pays the amount bidded for every click to your website. It basically allows you to receive instant traffic from the search engines without the optimization headaches!

For instance, go Google.com typing “make money” as the keyword,
you’ll see that over 6.8 million websites are listed!

Using pay per click services will actually allow your mini page to be listed very prominently, often on the first page (of course depending upon the amount you had bided for that particular keyword). This
can be seen as a ’sponsored listing’ within those blue boxes over at the right column.

With pay per clicks, do your math as it can become a cash-draining
disaster if done incorrectly.

Now here’s a ’secret’ to getting thousands of hits with pay per click with a relatively low budget of let’s say $50:

NEVER bid on a generic general keyword.

Look at Affiliate Payload to learn more and bid smartly instead on extremely targeted and well-defined keywords
or phrases. Develop a big list of relevant sub keyword phrases (with Good Keywords for example) for your target market and bid on this list. In this way you are really ’spreading your eggs’ and receiving even more targeted click throughs from a wide range of keyword phrases. And more importantly this ensures you do not lose a fortune on pay per clicks.

And I want you to understand why you should pay to give away your free mini ebook…you’re using a very ‘economical’ method (compared to co-registration or pay-per-subscriber services) to build your opt-in list and promote your affiliate product!

If you’ve selected the right keywords to the right targeted ebook, your download, subscribers and affiliate commissions MUST increase like you never thought possible!

Here are some recommended pay per click search engines:

http://www.goclick.com
http://www.epilot.com
http://www.kanoodle.com

Here’s an advice on a cost effective use of Overture.com pay per click services if you’re planning to invest there:

* Bid for competitive keywords at a minimum cost in the initial 20 days or so of every month

* This is because many of your competitors’ bids on rival keywords will be dropped from the result listings as they have reached their spending limits. This happens usually in the last 10 days of the month.

* Once this happens, you can increase your bids to get the number 1-5 places. Due to the drop of competitors’ listings, you’ll generally be able to bid more cheaply for a higher position, resulting in more clickthroughs.

Fortunately you can get a clear picture of affiliate marketing in many guides and I recommend Affiliate Payload from Alex Goad. There is even an Affiliate Payload Bonus offered on eUserReviews.com

Internet Marketing

Most business people that own or manage websites or blogs know how important article writing is in creating valuable back-links to their sites. The real issue is how effective is it?

Determining article success rate in terms of back-links is easy. You can measure it by typing in the name of the article, in quotes, into any search engine. What will return is the number of sites that have links to your site via the information boxplaced into the article.

Too easy you say, what’s the catch?. Okay then, write an article and post it to an article directory. Try Ideamarketers.com for example. Just perform the above search in Google and see if the article doesn’t have at least one or two back-links to your site. (For a really popular article placed on a high traffic site I’ve had as many as 40,000 back links within two to three weeks.) And then wait a few weeks to see if they have been indexed. It is simple but sadly there are many site owners and marketers that do not utilize this very simple tactic.

I’m always amazed by this because it seems so simple and quite frankly just downright cheap. The only cost might come from an Automated Article Submitter which makes it even easier to submit articles automatically without cutting and pasting text. Most Article Submitting Software is readily available and can be downloaded easily.

The next question is where to post the articles. In the last paragraph I gave some examples of top article sites however there are hundreds perhaps thousands that are eagerly awaiting fresh content to post.
