Jonathan Leger, author of $7 Secrets and the excellent scripts for viral promotion, has kicked out another excellent report: Write That Report!!!

I grabbed a copy and it is very good (no surprise there.) If you have been wanting to try a $7 report but just can’t seem to get one going, this report is for you.

Jonathan walks you step-by-step through the process of writing a report from selecting a topic to outlining, fleshing out, polishing it up and creating a PDF. No surprises, just a solid process.

Website Traffic: You can either pay for it or cast a wide net to pull it in.

Paying is pretty simple (well, technically it’s an art unto itself) but you join up with a PPC program, select your keyword groups, write some ads and start paying.

You can also find websites where your potential visitors hang out and buy some links or ads on those sites.

Those are the headlines at the top of the sales page for a new Internet marketing e-book, Niche Marketing on Crack*.

Article marketing is a low cost strategy to direct traffic to a website and begin to develop one-way backlinks to its pages. For new online ventures it offers a great way to build traffic to a site and to establish its authority in a particular niche.

Article Marketing is also an excellent strategy to quickly get a new site listed in search engines like Google and Yahoo!

The basic process for article marketing is this:

Wow!!

That was all I could manage to say when I saw the traffic stats for this website on Thursday February 1, 2007. I had looked at the stats earlier in the day and they were clicking along at their usual rate. There are a couple of articles on the site that turn a good amount of natural search traffic and also have some inbound links from a couple of blogs. But, around 11:00pm things went nuts!

12/18/2006 - Adsense Blog

The rules on image placement for websites using Adsense ads has changed. Several of the techniques that Adsense gurus have been touting are now explicitly off limits.

The policy basically boils down to this: if you are using images to try and trick users into thinking that the ad and image are in some way connected - you broke the rules.

Two specific examples are given in the Adsense blog entry.

“Earn enough money through online marketing to pay for the month’s hosting fees.”

That was my goal back in January of 2006 as I decided to try and find a way to earn a living through my own websites.

I had been working online for over 10 years at that point, but never ran my own online business. My income came from working on websites for other people and a full-time corporate gig.

Are you curious about the value of your website? I came across a link in one of the business forums I visit for a website that claims to be able to evaluate what your website is worth. The site is called the Sootle Web Directory. The box on the right side of the page shows their current estimate for www.AndrewSeltz.com. At the time I am writing this they give it a value of $555.00. Not bad for a domain that wasn’t worth anything except the domain registration fee 12 months ago.

Today I decided to fire up my synchronicity engine and see what it would do for my online business efforts. I made a post on Russell Brunson’s Conquer Your Niche Forum in the Joint Ventures and Special Offers section. The gist of the message was this - I’ve got lots of skills and need to work with other people to create products and businesses using these skills.
