Maybe you’ve heard that an article directory can make a killing in affiliate or Google Adsense income, but there are some more things you need to know when you start yours.

Here are the first basic steps involved in starting your own article directory:

1) Get an article directory script.

2) Buy a good domain name that gives some indication of what your site is about.

3) Buy web hosting for it.

4) Set the script up or get someone else to set it up if you don’t know how to set up scripts.

Obviously an article directory script won’t do you any good if you don’t do anything with it. The number one internet business killer is lack of action. You would be amazed at how many people buy everything they need to start an online business and then do absolutely nothing with it.

Once the site is all set up, your next step is to get traffic to the site. Here are some more things you need to do to draw traffic:

1. An empty directory never did anybody any good. The first thing you need to do to get some traffic to your new directory is put some articles in it. No one wants to submit to an empty directory. There are plenty of article directories out there with free reprint articles. With all the other article directories out there that you can use as a source of articles, there’s no excuse for your directory to be empty.

I don’t recommend buying an article directory script that has articles already in it. You do not want your directory to look like everyone else’s with the same articles.

Consider starting an article directory geared towards a niche. That way you won’t be competing with other article directories for traffic. Everyone knows that niche marketing can be more profitable than catering to an untargeted market, and this applies to article directories, as well.

2. Don’t be the only author on your site. Start your directory out with articles from other authors. Then you can add your own articles to your heart’s content. The exception to the rule would be if this is a site where you’ve specifically stated up front that the purpose is to showcase your own work, but you welcome other authors to submit their work as well.

3. Keep your directory backed up. Web servers are more stable than personal computers, but they’re not perfect. Data corruption and hard drive failures on web servers happen very rarely, but they do happen. Many web hosting companies do backups but some charge you to restore from the backup. When choosing a article directory script, choose one with built-in back-up capabilities or choose a web host that makes backing up your site very easy, such as Cpanel hosting.

4. Submit your own articles to other article sites with a link to your own article directory in the resource box. Keep in mind that if you are submitting ghostwritten or private label articles to your own directory, you cannot submit these articles to other sites unless they are significantly modified–I’m talking 75% or more. Yes, that’s right! You may need to write a few articles of your own. This is not a big deal. If you have private label articles, you can use these to get plenty of ideas to write your own articles.

Submit your article directory to the major search engines, including Google, Yahoo, and other high traffic search engines. Don’t pay anyone to submit your site (unless you’ve got money to throw away). You can do this yourself for free.

5. Syndicate it – Be sure to buy an article directory script with RSS capabilities built in so that web content publishers can link to your site for fresh content for their own websites. One key to continuous traffic is to update your content regularly. Syndication is a great way for your updated content to get re-published over and over again. Search engines love syndicated content.

6. Don’t stop! To keep your site alive you need to either constantly add new articles or constantly promote your site or preferably both.

One mistake I see lots of article directory sites making is that their target market consists of article authors and content seekers. Of course you need authors, but think about it. Are authors really going to click on ads on your site? The people who are most likely to click on ads are people seeking information. Authors come to your site to get visibility for their work, not to buy something. Information seekers are frequently potential buyers doing research before they choose to take out their wallet. Market your directory to information seekers as well as authors and webmasters.

Give visitors to your new site something useful to start with and your traffic will grow from there, along with your profits.

Hi Blog Reader,

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year, you have heard of the term “Adsense Arbitrage”. Basically, it’s about sending cheap Google Adwords traffic to a page that has high-paying Adsense ads on it. People click on your ads and you make money.

This was the ultimate “lazy system” for a while. But, like everything easy, people started abusing it and Google became smarter. After their “smart pricing” and “quality score” algorithms came into effect, many webmasters stopped making money with Adsense Arbitrage. Most people stopped using Adwords or Adsense altogether!

But, you haven’t been told the entire story. After these Google updates, smart webmasters have actually been making money hand over fist with Adsense arbitrage…

==> http://www.marktse.com/cb.php/advoodoo/blog/

Let’s get a few things straight, shall we? Here are…

There are three common myths about adsense arbitrage that are costing you a ton of money:

==>> Myth 1: “Google has ‘Google slapped’ my Adwords campaign. All terms cost $1-$10 dollars and there’s no cheap traffic to be found!”

==>> Myth 2: “Google ‘cracked down’ on affiliate marketers and adsense arbitragers”

==>> Myth 3: “Adsense doesn’t pay well any more. All my sites have been “smart priced” and there’s nothing I can do”

==> http://www.marktse.com/cb.php/advoodoo/blog/

Anyway, let’s get into the meat of things. You will discover :

- How To Find a Profitable Niche And How To Do Keyword Research:

- Exactly what Adsense arbitrage is and why it’s totally OK with Google! (if you know what you are doing). Google has actually admitted that Adsense Arbitrage is a valid business model. It’s when people try to game the system (in an obvious manner) that problems start.

- What’s the # 1 problem in our society and why you need to get out of this mindset if you want to make any money online.

- Why Adsense Arbitrage is a completely ethical business model (if done right). Similar business models have been used online for decades – and offline for centuries!

- Why internet marketing is the ultimate video game and why you need to be smart to play this game…

- What types of niches to go after. Specific ideas given to you on a silver platter! You can just follow the process outlined with these “seed” keywords and set up a profitable Adsense arbitrage campaign quickly…

- A free resource that sends you new niche ideas every day – including the approximate cost per click! Never be at a loss for profitable markets to target…

- How to perform keyword research. Detailed screen shots take you by the hand and show you how it’s done – even if you are totally new to this!

- Which keywords to go after when you create your Adsense arbitrage campaigns – and which to stay the hell away from! (Hint: if you think they are necessarily the most expensive in your market, don’t bet your house on it)

- How to annihilate your competitors by tapping into dirt, dirt cheap keywords that they haven’t even thought about (let alone use). Thinking out of the box is what will give you the edge…

- Managing your keyword lists: How to deduplicate your keyword lists, clean them up from unwanted terms, filter them, group them in related groups – the works…

- How to use Amazon to get access to even more keywords. Overload your campaigns with keywords and your server with traffic…

- The power of “brand term” keyword research. This alone can potentially bring you 1000ds of extra visitors a day – for mere pennies per click!

…and much more.

If you have read the “bullets” above, you understand that this is killer stuff. Don’t pass this up….
