Every website stands or falls on the traffic it receives, regardless of the tool you use to build the site.

A first step is to submit your site’s sitemap to the search engines (SiteBuilder Elite does this for you) but it is only a first step. You can also submit sitemaps through Google’s Webmaster Tools.

The search engines love active sites (especially Google); that doesn’t just mean the number of new pages added to a site on a regular basis, but the number of inbound links to the site. If a site keeps getting new inbound links (links from other sites pointing to it), then it must be popular, and that’s …

In the next couple of weeks you’ll start to hear a lot about GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities). No, it’s not another miracle health product. Kiosk are rebranding themselves and are launching a new all-in-one service that includes Kiosk Hosting, an Autoresponder, an Easy Video Producer Video service, and Hot Conference. If you’re familiar with these heavy-hitter internet marketing names – Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney, Frank Bauer – it’s the hosting company they (and most of the other big boys) use.

So why have I come to this conclusion?

My name is Gary Nugent and welcome to my blog. I have been an internet and affiliate marketer since 2004 and I now make a full time living online.

It’s been a hard slog to get where I am today, with a steady income each month. I’ve tried many things over the years, most of which didn’t work out for me personally. And I’ve spent tons of money on courses (physical products with CDs and DVDs), online courses, e-books and have a drivefull of useless crap (products and bonuses) that I’ve acquired over that time.

One of the most useless courses I bought was one that taught me how to build e-commerce …

WordTracker Logo

Wordtracker is probably the most popular keyword analysis tool in use today and allows users to assess keyword traffic and keyword competition.

How Wordtracker works

free version of Wordtracker finds the number of searches using a different search engine – AltaVista. Paid versions of Wordtracker allow users to choose Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.

WordTracker. The first thing you can look at is their free trial. It’s great for getting a feel for how the system works, but I wouldn’t recommend it for any kind of serious project.

Beyond that, you can sign up on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis.

The paid version has a lot of extra features that …
