		<description><![CDATA[Following the evolving web, this means that your Internet marketing strategy must change with it. We change from Web1.0 to 2.0, now is the Web 3.0 time.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-280" title="0world_background" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/0world_background.jpg" alt="0world background Evolving Web – Trends – Web 3.0" width="300" height="220" /><strong>Did you notice how rapidly the Web is changing? Following the evolving web, this means that your Internet marketing strategy must change with it.</strong></p>
<p>Let’s lay out the ground of an idea which looks trivial at the first glance,   so I don’t think  that is trivial.</p>
<p>The web has evolved as since the  1990s. At that point, the Internet was one-way source of information. Web pages were a marketing medium where they were viewed, read and printed out, no more than that!<br />
The internet was a good resource for researching information but marketing was based on an old fashion offline advertising techniques.</p>
<p>Now we know three stages of web evolvement that you need to be aware of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Web 1.0</li>
<li>Web 2.0</li>
<li>Web 3.0</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Web 1.0</strong> was a one-way communication process, it was like you read you favorite Sport magazine.</p>
<p><strong>Web 2.0</strong> represented the mass introduction of user-generated content. This is where blogging and social networking came in for the masses. People formed their own communities on niche topics and began interacting between themselves.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Note: </strong></span> <strong>How Web 2.0 marketing differs from Web 1.0 marketing</strong><br />
Web 1.0 marketing lets you speaking to your visitors, but Web 2.0 marketing allows you to interact with your visitors.</p>
<p>Web 2.0 is not about your advertising your web services. It’s about you developing relationships with people and offering value – free of charge<br />
with no catch attached. <strong>If people like you and what you represent then they’ll find out more about you from reading your profile on whatever social network you’re participating on. That’s where you can sell your business.<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Web 3.0</strong> it is around the corner, and the web is evolving to become a more<br />
personalized experience for each user. There are 2 ways so far to do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Virtual Reality Marketing</li>
<li>MyPage Marketing (iGoogle)</li>
<li>BARD Marketing</li>
</ul>
<p>The quality of software programs that produce a virtual reality experience increased tremendously in the last 2-3 years. Now we can use virtual reality programs to simulate real life experiences.</p>
<p>An example of a <strong>Virtual Reality</strong> website is <a href="http://secondlife.com/?v=1.1" target="_blank">Second Life.</a> At this point, Second Life is not as popular as the social networking sites but considering companies which have already invested in the Second Life project, I have no doubt that Second life will be the next success site on Web 3.0.</p>
<p>After you join Second Life you can bid to buy virtual land. As soon as you own your own Second Life land you can build a business, employ people, the sky is the limit.  I suggest to read frequently asked questions which will help you start your own ‘second life’, you will find examples of businesses that are already successful in Second Life, and you will be well position to think how you could run your own Second Life business.</p>
<p><strong>MyPage Marketing</strong> is a generic term for your effort on the personalizing home pages or personal profile pages of social networking sites. Google now offer their users the option to personalize their home page – they call this your <strong>iGoogle page</strong>, but it is just a Google Gadget for you. You just select “Add stuff” at the top right hand side of the page to search for ideas within your niche which are of interest.<br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Your Google Gadget is a really useful free tool</strong></span>, if you create a good useful Google Gadget, you really can lead people down your personal Internet marketing funnel.</p>
<p>When you’re logged into your iGoogle page, you also have the option to create your own gadget. Just click “Try it now” to get started. This “try it now” page shows you different options for how you can easily create your own personalized gadget.<br />
You can design your own Google Gadget – or have your own Google Gadget<br />
designed for you. That’s where the internet marketing opportunity is. If you can persuade people from your list to download your Google Gadget and have it on their own iGoogle page, <strong>this will rise up the popularity ranking within the Google Gadgets search engine,</strong> allowing more people will become aware of it.<br />
There are no limits for design and costs for producing your own gadgets are minimal.</p>
<p>The main constraint is just your imagination and the main advantage is your will to use it.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond All Reasonable Doubt (BARD) Marketing, </strong>a  legal branding, marketing and advertising agency, announces a new  advertising solution for the legal community. <a href="http://www.greenscreen.bardmarketing.com" target="_blank"><strong>BARD Virtual Reality TV </strong></a> brings together, for the  first time, the combination of:</p>
<ul>
<li> a state-of-the-art high-definition  virtual reality digital studio</li>
<li> movie-quality video production talent,  and</li>
<li> top-notch legal marketing expertise</li>
</ul>
<p>to create effective television  commercials and web video at a price never before available.</p>
<p>I hope I give you some trends, the flavor of  Web 3.0. and make you curious enough to explore more.</p>
<p>To your success<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-277" title="coffee2" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/coffee2.jpg" alt="coffee2 Advertising Your Products" width="265" height="240" /></p>
<p>This morning I stopped by a Starbucks coffee shop to buy a big latte for me, as a lot of work was waiting me on my office.</p>
<p>I met Daniel, a college student from my neighborhood, a nice young fellow, who always had questions.  I was in a hurry, but until my latte was “professionally” made, I changed a couple of works with Daniel.</p>
<p>He asked me &#8220;how we make a profitable blog&#8221;. My answer was:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Publish      terrific rich content with a lot of value</strong></li>
<li><strong>Then      drive traffic, traffic, and traffic</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>I saw in Daniel eyes that he was disappointed with my answer, but I had to live and I promise an email later.</p>
<p>Now I am sitting in my tiny office, sipping my latte, and I am wandering what disappointed Daniel.</p>
<p>Driving traffic is not a deep down kept secret nowadays, he knows this, he learns in college about it. I try to connect the dots from our other conversations, and I conclude, that he is allergic to work “traffic”, he thinks that <strong>it is too big fuss about it, and it is too time consuming to do it</strong>, I think this is it.  To time consuming…</p>
<p>Well, how I can explain to him the driving traffic process, without to pronounce the work “Traffic”. Hm!</p>
<p>This is want I come up with.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> Ezine Article it is a challenge place to be</strong></span>, they are:</p>
<ul>
<li>A rich sources for informing, learning – as they have plenty of links in the box</li>
<li>If you chose a specific keyword and you look at the most watched article (at least 3000 visitors, Wow!), you easily can collect great long tails keywords from the articles with so many visitors, why? Because it is working! When was last time when you got 3000 visitors?</li>
<li>You will find the trends just looking at which DP is successful vs. you know what</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-274" title="WP01" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/WP01.jpg" alt="WP01 Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate Review" width="64" height="64" />You already know that I am a big fun of WordPress and I am convinced that its success   has a lot to do with being open source software. This is the reason I review plug-ins which I like and make my life easier.</p>
<p>Yesterday I had the pleasure to download</p>
<p><a title="Maxblogpress" href="http://tinyurl.com/yds3oho" target="_blank">Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate plug-in </a></p>
<p>and I discover how easy it is to turn keyword into affiliate links that make money.</p>
<p><strong>The best feature I like which is the core basis of this wordpress plug-in is actually the option to automatically convert your blog keywords into links to the affiliate product of your choice; the best part is that even your old keywords can turn into money-making affiliate links.</strong></p>
<p>Why would you want to convert old keywords into affiliate links?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve found a brand new affiliate program and you can&#8217;t wait to promote it to your blog. You don&#8217;t have to wait until you write your next post, just use Ninja Affiliate plug-in and it&#8217;ll convert the keywords of your choice into affiliate links on auto-pilot. You work just once, and all the keywords you input will be turned into links that make money, without you having to edit any post whatsoever.</p>
<p>And it is more, <strong>it is saving you a lot of time, and effort</strong>.</p>
<p>This helps you as instead of editing links and posts, you actually have a lot more time to write content and promote your blog &#8211; what will drive visitors to your blog links.</p>
<p><strong>What I like about this little plug-in is that it&#8217;s updated from time to time, and new features and add-ons are loaded frequently.</strong></p>
<p>What I don’t like about Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate? Glad you asked! Well, there&#8217;s a learning curve to mastering the plug-in and getting used to it. It&#8217;d probably take you a few hours to learn all its options and experience the full potential, but it is well worth it.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t tell me about a plug-in with no learning curve; all great plug-ins take time to learn, and Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate is no exception, and by the way it is top rated.</p>
<p><strong>It’s in your best interest to buy it today if you want to SAVE a ton of time, effort and energy on editing links and actually dedicating yourself on what makes you real money &#8211; writing posts and driving traffic to your blog.</strong></p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget, if you grab the plug-in you unlock FREE on going upgrades &#8211; <a title="Ninja Affiliate plug-in" href="http://tinyurl.com/yds3oho" target="_blank">Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate plug-in </a></p>
<p>Until next time all the best</p>
<p>Michaela</p>
<p>P.S. I just forgot to mention this &#8211; the plug-in also helps you fight commission theft and cloak your links; a must-have for serious affiliates!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like to start the New Year with my reflection on 2009, enjoying the good moments, learning from mistakes, enforce the plan for 2010 and organize to the bone, and whatever takes to make it better, and a humble thank you for the blessing friends and working JV partners of 2009.</p>
<p>It is fair to say that 2009 wasn’t one of my favorite year even though was better then 2008. It was a mix of too many events, projects which as a whole made me tired and not always happy.</p>
<p>This doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate the accomplishments:</p>
<p><strong>Learning:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> It was a turning point on the way I looked at Web 2.0. A learned a lot and spend a value time analyzing some new trends. As a consequence I am going more towards: tagging, grouping, and blogging using only WordPress and the new born WP MU, abandoning some classic concept of putting my nose all over the net. I can see clearly now that this was a mistake of the past. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Thanks you: Yaro, Eric, VanDyke, Joel for a friendly hand when I need it the most</span></strong></span></li>
<li>I definitely want to spend more time in small niches, but keeping in mind the main purpose of my business vision and its goals</li>
<li>I eliminate a foggy area and I make now a clear difference between my main purpose and the  satellite “tools”</li>
<li>It was an important step forward on my understanding of Google strategies, myths, and future trends. <strong><span style="color: #800000;">Thanks  Jonathan</span> </strong>for “Search Engine Myths Exposed”, you are a marvelous researcher, deep analyst, and honest Internet Marketer. I learn a lot from you and I am using your scripts with a different prospective now</li>
<li>I learned a lot about membership sites, scripts, and macros. <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Thanks: Eric, Jan Del Carmen, Stu  </strong></span></li>
<li>Learned WordPress MU, wrote the first eBook in <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>JV with Alex</strong></span>: “WordPress Multi User”, read aboutit on <a title="Wordpress MU" href="http://www.squidoo.com/WordPress-Multi-User" target="_blank">this lens</a></li>
<li>I know from sometime that the key of  long term success is to create <strong>automated systems</strong>, not to chase a couple of sales, but for the first time I made the creation of automated systems my priority, it is going to stay like this for 2010 as well </li>
<li>I’ll use an entire arsenal available for Automated systems: scripts, macro, autoresponders, recurring tools (membership sites, e-courses)</li>
</ul>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>My 2009 Blessings and 2010 Hopes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>In 2009 I was blessed with a couple of good new friends. Some were coming from working relations, others just happen to be the right person at the right place and time for me. I am really grateful for having all of them on my side, yes, the friends make our world. <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>A special thanks for Jeanie, Alex, my dear musketeers, and a handful of very dear Squidoo friends</strong></span></li>
<li>In 2010 I’ll work at just a project at a time, no exceptions, the decision is coming as a hard to swallow learning experience from 2009</li>
<li>I’ll eliminate all un productive activities, all volunteer work for hopeless experiences</li>
<li>I’ll extend working relationships with people who happen to share what I  believe in, and I’ll continue to learn and grow within this friendly environment. I am glad  these type of people exist around me, I value their expertise, collaboration, and above all friendship</li>
<li>I am convinced that if I want to work hard on my goals, my goals will work on me; I’ll continue to dream big, and plan to the last detail. <strong>I don’t want to face the future with apprehension; I want to do it with anticipation and joy. Yes, I always consider the joy of honest hard work a prerequisite of success </strong></li>
<li>At personal level I have to put more time aside for family. My mother is 95 old now, she needs me, I’ll be available day and night for her, she is the best mother in the world for me</li>
<li>My audience will find out about the progress from my blogs, published products, lenses, tweets, and so on</li>
<li>To serve better my loyal subscribers, I’ll transform this blog in a monthly Newsletter-Blog, starting Jan 15th, and as usual I invite you to participate, I really love to hear from you</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>My Predictions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I am convinced that Blogging, Affiliate Marketing, and Internet Marketing in general will play a bigger role in 2010</li>
<li>But a lot of changes will happen, new tactics, and trends will emerge, as of new FTC rules ( read lens ). <strong>To all the pessimists out there who are telling you that Internet Marketing is saturated, I say that they don’t understand essence. The Internet is big enough for you and me, and gazillion of other honest people, there are no fences, and the difference between the impossible and possible lies only in a person’s determination, not on outside influences </strong></li>
<li>Among my good friends I clearly see 2-3 new stars in 2010, I wish them well, keep on open eye, and help as much as I can</li>
</ul>

<p> </p>
<p>To your success, Happy New Year Michaela</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Free Marketing Tools Part III, one more to go.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Part III</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Alexa</strong></p>
<p><a title="Alexa" href="http://www.alexa.com">Alexa</a> is a Yahoo free tool that allows you to find out the traffic of any site online, it is coming with some controversy, I will say that even when is unreliable, it is doing an excellent job:</p>
<ul>
<li>It does give you a good indication as to how many hits a site is getting</li>
<li>Let you compare sites traffic</li>
<li>Let you monitor your own site, just creating an alexa-account for the site and implementing a small HTML code in your site meta-tags</li>
</ul>
<p>In the next picture I compare traffic for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Zazzle.com</li>
<li>CaffeePress.com</li>
<li>eBay.com</li>
<li>Amazon.com</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-256" title="alexa021" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/alexa021.jpg" alt="alexa021 Help Free Marketing Tools Part III" width="440" height="260" /></p>
<p>Looking to the chart: Amazon has the most hits, followed by eBay, Zazzle and Caffee Press are almost zero traffic vs. Amazon and eBay. But between Zazzle and CaffePress, Zazzle is doing better.</p>
<p>If you request a chart just for one website you scroll down can click on self-service tool (red arrow):</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-259" title="alexa041" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/alexa0412.jpg" alt="alexa0412 Help Free Marketing Tools Part III" width="280" height="300" /></p>
<p>At this point you open an Alexa account for your website, follow the instructions, and when the account is approved, we will receive an email from Alexa with a piece of HTML code, and instructions where to put the HTML snippet on your site. </p>
<p>Making money online is all about traffic AND conversions, if you know more about how your site is doing, it will be easy to know the areas you must improves.<br />
If you understand its limitations of this tool, and you will do using it, then Alexa can be a fantastic free marketing tool.</p>
<p><strong>Zamzar</strong></p>
<p>Did you ever want to convert files from one format to another without to download bulky software?  You need <a title="convert files" href="http://www.Zanzar.com">www.Zanzar.com</a></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-260" title="azamz011" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/azamz011.jpg" alt="azamz011 Help Free Marketing Tools Part III" width="480" height="140" /></p>
<p>Zamzar supports a big variety of different formats, I frequently use it when I need to convert a <strong>gif  picture</strong> in a <strong>jpeg picture</strong>,  I also use it when I need to convert something to a PDF really fast.</p>
<p><strong>Gigasize</strong></p>
<p>Did you ever need to send a big, really big file that e-mail cannot handle it?<br />
You need <a title="big files - gigazise " href="http://www.Gigasize.com">www.Gigasize.com</a> which will let you transmit max. file size 300 MB and 10 file max for a free account.</p>
<p>It is supper fast, you’ll have your files sent before you know it! You basically send large email files on Internet by uploading to Gigasize.</p>
<p>This way you can upload: Movies, Music, Games, and Photos, and store them on-line for instant access and sharing.</p>
<p><strong>Copyscape</strong></p>
<p>Did you ever worry about people stealing your content online (if you don&#8217;t, you should be!)? Y0u need <a href="http://www.Copyscape.com">www.Copyscape.com</a>.</p>
<p>The debate is still on about whether penalties for duplicate content exists or not, but I advise everybody to have a quick look to discover if anyone has stolen your content every now and then.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-261" title="copys011" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/copys011.jpg" alt="copys011 Help Free Marketing Tools Part III" width="380" height="170" /></p>
<p>This is a handy free tool, you type your website address into the box, and then click submit. This is it, the tool will rush off and check if anyone is copying your post/aticle when they shouldn’t be.</p>
<p>It is amazing! Isn&#8217;t it?  </p>
<p>Until the next time</p>
<p>All the best Michey</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Part II contains free packages for graphics, and Blog Pulse, all are excellent software which make my life easier.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Part II  -  Graphics</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><a title="Resize pictures" href="http://www.picresize.com">Picresize</a>  and <a title="Picasa Google" href="http://Picasa.Google.com">Picasa.</a></strong></p>
<p>You can use for Graphics: Photoshop or Corel Photo-Paint, both are expensive and there is a learning curve to use them properly.</p>
<p>But in majority of cases if you creat a Squidoo lens, or a Blog Post, re-sizing is all you need.  For just this operation I use <a title="resize pictures" href="http://www.picresize.com">Picresize</a> which is incredible simple, follow this example.</p>
<p>The flowers you see in next pictute I need to resize at 50%</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-244" title="ReS011" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ReS0111.jpg" alt="ReS0111 Help With Free Marketing Tools Part II" width="500" height="240" /></div>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">I crop the image if I need and I go further to the second step where I decide the dimension, and step 3 were I chose a special effect, the effects are:</div>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Equalize</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Gaussian Blur</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Grayscale</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Raise</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Raise Frame</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Rotate or</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">Go forward with the default</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245" title="ReS021" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ReS021.jpg" alt="ReS021 Help With Free Marketing Tools Part II" width="500" height="240" /> </div>
<p> For this demonstration I Chose Raise Frame, pres a button and this is what I get:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-246" title="ReS031" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ReS031.jpg" alt="ReS031 Help With Free Marketing Tools Part II" width="176" height="118" /></p>
<p>This is it, I have my picture reduced 50%.</p>
<p>As an alternative you can use <a title="Google Picasa" href="http://Picasa.Google.com">Picasa</a>  a great software from Google, the difference is that you have to download the software, and the process is similar.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-247" title="ReS041" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ReS041.jpg" alt="ReS041 Help With Free Marketing Tools Part II" width="500" height="240" /></p>
<p><strong><a title="Graphics editor Gimp" href="http://files.uberdownloads.com/apps/gimp/index.php">GIMP.</a></strong></p>
<p>If your needs are more then just resize, Gimp is a fantastic free alternative, is easy to use, intuitive and above all is free.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-248" title="gimp011" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gimp011.jpg" alt="gimp011 Help With Free Marketing Tools Part II" width="450" height="360" /></p>
<p>It is true you don&#8217;t need of spend hundreds of dollars, it is a great editor to use.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">For Blogs</span></strong>.</p>
<p>Blogging is closer to my soul, I highly recommend:</p>
<p><a title="Blog Pulse" href="http://www.blogpulse.com"><strong>Blog Pulse</strong> </a></p>
<p>Blog pulse is a great free research tool that allows you to discover what’s hot and what’s not in the blogsphere.  All you have to do is typing:  a topic, keyword, or URL.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-249" title="blogp021" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/blogp021.jpg" alt="blogp021 Help With Free Marketing Tools Part II" width="400" height="260" /></p>
<p>In the above chart is a comparison between:</p>
<ul>
<li>Google Chrome</li>
<li>Google Wave</li>
<li>Google SideWiki</li>
</ul>
<p>Do yourself a favor, and start using Blog Pulse, it really is an excellent tool.</p>
<p>Until the next time all the best</p>
<p>Michey</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I kept last post to be about the fold longer then usual, I did it on purpose.  Now is the right time to go forward.</p>
<p>Everybody under the sun is complaining about information overload and the luck of enough time. We cannot make the day longer then 24 hours even if we try, this is a fact, but we can help ourselves with some Marketing Tools which can be Free or Paid.</p>
<p>I’ll tell you today about <strong>FREE Marketing tools I use and like to make my life easier, to minimize the time, </strong>and make me happy as an Internet Marketer.</p>
<p>I need more then one post but this is the plan:</p>
<ul>
<li>Google Free Tools</li>
<li>Graphics</li>
<li>Blogging</li>
<li>SEO</li>
<li>Others</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Google Free Tools</span></strong></p>
<p>They are so many; I enumerate 6 of them in alphabetical order:</p>
<p>1. <a title="Google Alerts" href="http://www.google.com/alerts"><strong>Google Alerts</strong> </a> it is a tool which can help you to get more traffic, and more knowledge about a subject</p>
<p class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl id="attachment_232" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 500px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-232" title="GAlert011" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/GAlert011.jpg" alt="Google Alert" width="490" height="260" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Google Alert</dd>
</dl>
<p style="text-align: left;">I am interested on Affiliate Marketing, I create a Google Alert for it and all the time when it is a new blog post, forum discussion, website and so on I receive an email about it, this cover the knowledge part.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">All other people who have a Google Alert about the topic of this post receive an email about this post.  It is a very easy way to keep abreast with new publications, and make your activity visible in the same time</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2. <a title="Google Analytics" href="http://www.google.com/analytics/"><strong>Google Analytics</strong></a> is a free tool which you must download.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It gives you rich insights into website traffic and marketing affectiveness. It is a great traking and stat tool which is not used yet at the real potention.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>3. Google Docs</strong> It’s basically a place to store your documents online, with the added benefit that you and others can edit files at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a title="Youtube video" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbf0dlESX8E">You can watch this video.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The beauty is, you don’t end up with lots of different versions of the same file flying around, and you don’t have to download your file each time you want to open it. It really is a brilliant free software to use.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>4. Google Keywords</strong> It ia a tool you can download.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-233" title="GKeyW011" src="http://michaelacernescu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/GKeyW011.jpg" alt="GKeyW011 Help With FREE Marketing Tools Part I" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is a tool that helps you with your keyword research, very fast, and it has loads of features. I advise to use it in combination with other tools as well. My favorite is <a title="SpyFu" href="http://www.spyfu.com/lp/us/">SpyFu </a>, this tool is teling me what the competition is doing, and I love their motto:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;It&#8217;s tough out there. Succeed beyond survival&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5. <a title="Take a tour Google Reader" href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlereader/tour.html"><strong>Google Reader</strong></a> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You must use RSS to keep up to date with the best content on the web. Almost all blogs publish an RSS feed, and that means that if you use an RSS <strong>feed reader</strong>, you can have the content of that site delivered to you as soon as it happens.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you start subscribing to your preferred RSS feeds, you’ll discover that you save a  loads  of time which you can now use for other purposes to grow your business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are lots of different RSS readers out there, but my personal favourite by far is Google Reader, click to <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlereader/tour.html">get a tour </a>first. It’s completely free, very easy to use, and it will save you ton of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>6. Google Trends</strong>  It  is an excellent tool that allows you to see graphs of search volume over a period of time.  The following graph is for Squidoo:</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is a great niche research tool, and you can use to get a feel for whether some search terms on a particular topic are likely to go up or down.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Others:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Roboform</strong> If you want a  big time saver download now the Roboform.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I am sure you have over 100 of usernames and passwords for loads of different sites. Just to remember so many passwords it is mission impossible</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Roboform does the work for you, as it saves all of your different login details inside a toolbar that sits at the top of your browser. To visit any site you just select it from the drop down menu and then Roboform takes you to the relevant page and logs you in.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I successfully use this simple site, for over 2 years, but last week I give up as the new <strong>Norton Internet Security 2010</strong> has a nice feature called: <strong>Log-ins and Cards</strong> which makes the Roboform features even easier to use.  Norton is a paid product but I have it anyway for security reasons, and I decided to you his new 2010 function to replace Roboform.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;ll continue in differnt posts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Until the next time all the best</p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s come back to my favorite subject traffic. What is the role of Mini Sites, and why we pay attention to them. They make any good or we waist our time?</p>
<p>We already know that sites can be:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Large</strong> content
<ul>
<li>Those are usually focus in information</li>
<li>They get better search traffic and are better ranked</li>
<li>These sites are called <strong>traffic gathering</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Mini Sites</strong> (we call them <strong>Satelitte Sites</strong>)
<ul>
<li>Those are focus on selling something</li>
<li>It is harder to obtain good traffic for them</li>
<li>They have a <strong>better conversion to sales</strong> as they are unilaterally focus just on sell</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Then it is a logic question which of them are better to use. Hi! this is a million dollar question as well.</p>
<p>If you do research you will find that the majority of marketers still relay on  the old path: Forums, Ezine, Directory sites.</p>
<p>I remember when I was a kid my father told me: &#8220;Stop saing NO all the time, say YES but you know&#8230;  and explain&#8230;&#8221;. I&#8217;ll apply his tactic now.<br />
I am not suggested to eliminate those from your routine especially if you are prolific on them, but <strong>I suggest to combine Large Site with Mini Sites and use both</strong>.<br />
<img src="http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/ImgEBAY/1MiniSites1.jpg" alt="traffic mini sites" title="Traffic With Mini Sites" /></p>
<p>This is what I mean:</p>
<ul>
<li>Decide which site can be your<strong> Main Site</strong> for a specific niche, this is good to be a large site but can be a squeeze page as well</li>
<li>Make a list with all your <strong>Mini Sites</strong> per that niche</li>
<li>Then link them as I did in the picture:
<ul>
<li>From each Mini Site point with a link to main site</li>
<li>From each Mini Site point with a link to other Mini Site in a way to avoid double linking</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Tell me after one or two month how your traffic is doing. I am a big believer in experimenting methods. My way is not the only way, and some method which are great for me, can be less efficient for somebody else.</p>
<p>The tricky part will be how to choose the Main Site and Mini Sites.<br />
Usually a <strong>Main Site</strong> can be: <strong>a Web Site, a Blog, and a Squeeze Page.<br />
</strong>I typical <strong>Mini site</strong> can be: a lens, a hubpage, a tweet, a redpage post, or any other social media site in which you are allowed to put links, and other blog.</p>
<p>If you really want to have the biggest traffic possible you have to take in consideration a lot of other factors related with the trends on marketing.</p>
<p>I recommend a very good reading about <a title="consumers and marketers" href="http://squidoonews.crabbysbeach.com/blogs/web-2-0-consumers-and-marketers/" target="_blank">Consumers and Marketers</a>.</p>
<p>Until the next time all the best.<br />
Michaela</p>

		<description><![CDATA[WordPress is knows as a Blogging platform and a Content Management System (CMS). People started to use WordPress Platform for almost everything: blogs, websites, membership sites, multi users platforms.
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is a Blog we already know, but why are Blogs so popular nowadays? A Blog is a Journal. A place where you put your personal thoughts, ideas, knowledge, in a conversational mode, as you sit across the table with an old friend and just tell him what you have in mind.</p>
<p>Blogs are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Perfect tools for blooming your creativity</li>
<li>They act as communication tools connecting, educating, and influencing people</li>
<li>All of them but especial WordPress has a multitude of functionality</li>
<li>Professional Bloggers build a business, an on-line asset which produces a full-time income from their Blog(s), and they manage their Blog(s) like a business.</li>
</ul>
<p>What makes Blogs different from any websites of Web 1.0 generation? It is important to know as it helps you to develop the right mindset about Blogging:</p>
<ul>
<li>Posts on Blogs are listed chronologically, last in the top, in a journalistic style. They are also store by categories which make them very easy to retrieve</li>
<li>In Blogs is easy to add new content, if you can write a letter using Word, you can Blog, cannot get simpler than that</li>
<li>Being easy to add content is easy to update frequently, Blogs are more up-to-date vs. Web 1.0 websites which are static</li>
<li>On Blogs interaction is a breath as they allow people to leave comments</li>
<li>The conversational nature of Blogs make people trust Blogs more than old type websites</li>
<li>Blogs in your domains allow affiliate links, which are not welcome in a lot of sites and environments as forum, ezine, even some websites</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>WordPress is a Blogging platform and a Content Management System (CMS).<br />
</strong>It is not the single Blogging Platform or CMS, but the huge popularity of WordPress is coming from the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is FREE</li>
<li>It is Open Source, people as you and me can add functionality to WordPress adding our themes, plug-ins, widgets</li>
<li>It contains over 4,400 plug-ins, they add a huge functionality, flexibility, and creativity</li>
<li>Now Multiple Users extension (MU); is relatively new but is adding even more Web 2.0 functionality. We go now from individual users to:<br />
o   niche groups<br />
o   tribes which are communities with same interests<br />
o   companies as well</li>
<li>It is a platform easy to use with the low level of restrictions</li>
<li>WP is the single Blog Platform which let you create Blogs on your own domain. This is huge advantage for Affiliate Marketing.</li>
</ul>
<p>The success fires up the imaginations of entrepreneurs. There are other platform easy to use but the difference is the number of restrictions on those platforms. Some of them are good for a non-technical person or a limited purposes, but a solid technical individual always closes <strong>WordPress and/or WP-MU.</strong></p>
<p>What I notice in the last 2 years is the multitude of ways people start to use WordPress.</p>
<ol>
<li>We use WP as a <strong>Blogging Platform</strong></li>
<li>Some uses WP to <strong>create Websites</strong>, if you block the comment feature, and use your own domain, you really have a Website. Why people will use WP to create Websites? The answer:<br />
o   WP is a great system of organizing data for a Website<br />
o   The plug-ins which provide a huge functionality. The work behind the scene which is already done, tested, and implemented for you is a big plus of WordPress</li>
<li><strong>Create Membership sites</strong> – this is again a great advantage of WP functionality, it is a little more work up front but is possible to do it and the easy maintenance will compensate you for the hard work at the set up point</li>
<li>Now we have an extension of WP which let us create communities, it is called <strong>WordPress Multiple Users (WP-MU).</strong> This is an example of <strong>MU:</strong> <a href="http://crabbysbeach.com/blogs/">http://crabbysbeach.com/blogs/</a></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>The conclusion is people started to use WordPress Platform for almost everything. Blogs now can be almost anything you want them to be.</strong></p>
<p>Welcome to the wonderful world of WordPress. In future posts I’ll take one of this functionality at a time and give you details.</p>
<p>I think the new functionality is more likely to interest my readers, but I always look to the comments to make my mind about what is important for you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll come back soon with new products, surprises, and more posts to keep you up-to-date.</p>
<p>To your success<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">Jolly Judicious Jetsetters.</h2>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;">
<dl class="wp-caption      alignnone" style="width: 370px; text-align: left;">

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">New Squidoo Challenge </dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>It started as a buzzzz… I didn’t pay a lot of attention as I was working on 2-3 projects at a time… and wanted to get rid of my information overload… sweet dreams…And the buzz culminates with a personal invitation from Joan Adams: Giant Squid, Squid Angel, 100 lens club, a person I like, and respect, we are squidoo friends. <br />
<strong>Can I ignore my friends?  Never!</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I start reading, I find out that Joan is a <strong>Greeter</strong> – she has her own team called “<strong>Jolly Judicious Jetsetters”</strong> and I am invited to join.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Meticulous as she is, Joan creates a lens about her team, she explains the purpose, the mechanism of participation, even the name of her team:<br />
<a title="Joan's challenge" href="http://www.squidoo.com/jolly-judicious-jetsetters" target="_blank">http://www.squidoo.com/jolly-judicious-jetsetters</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Then I educate myself with other info coming from the <a title="Squidoo Team" href="ttp://blogs.squidoo.com/squidblog/2009/04/20/break-out-the-orange-pom-poms/" target="_blank">fabulous Squidoo team</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> At this point I was in. It wasn’t just another challenge, it was:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">the spirit of Squidoo </div>
