Bringing in web traffics with images gallery
We all know that the more we bring in visitors to our web page or blog, the more likely they are to click on our adsense or check out our affiliate products through the links we placed. But have we ever thought of using images to bring in web traffics ?
There are already quite a lot of images directory in the internet. What they do is to host your images.
For this article, lets take cats as an example. If you like cats then your target audience will be cat lovers. These target audience will welcome anything they want to know on cats like ebooks, articles, blogs, websites and the rest. And this will include images of the subject.
I am sure many of them are also searching for cats images. It could be either for their images gallery online or offline. Maybe, they want to use as an avatar or icon. Or, to make their websites or blog more nicer by having more images of cat. And many other purposes.
But if you are a target audience on cats, and searching for an articles about the cat as a pet, for example, I am sure you will not miss the opportunity to check the links to articles, ebooks, websites and even images on cats.
The idea is for you to put a link to one of the images in your collection of images. So that when your visitors click on the download link of a particular image it would not download or show the image in a bigger dimension but will bring your visitor to the website related to cats.
But in doing this, I would advise you to respect your visitor's feelings. Do not blatantly mislead them to another website where else what they want may be just images on cats.
But if they see that you are sincere enough in presenting your link, then they'll be more than oblige to check out your link rather than infuriate them for having landed in a wrong website misled by you.
One good tactic is to create a graphic of a cat, this could be just a copy and paste. In that graphic put a text message (not too small and not too big either) the graphic like "more information on cats", "click to know more", "cats articles" and whatever you think can excite the reader.
Most of the time they are curious and they will click and may be thankful to you for showing the resources where else what they were looking were images.
Also don't forget to add a small note at the description of the image reminding them that by clicking on the link, it will take you to your prepared info and not an image.
If you already see plenty of images on cats in the categories of the images gallery posted by other members before you, it is all right to put your "image info" directly to it.
But if there are too few or non, just place a few real graphics along with your image info graphics.
Not all images gallery can do this. But do visit ImagesGallery at e-vo info where you can use this tactic to bring in web traffics. http://e-vo.info/imagesgallery
Good luck.

Auto responders, how to use it in your internet marketing - The Basic
Auto responders, how to use it in your internet marketing - The Basic
Have you heard of auto responder ?
You may have stumbled upon a sign up page requiring at least your email and name. It tells you to sign up and you will start to receive information every now and then. Of course the service is free ! Sometimes there is a punch line that the information actually cost $97 (or something) but you have the very privilege of getting it for free. But hurry make the decision now as the time is running out.
Normally, all auto responder has a subject to discuss. So if you are interested in airplane and you have subscribed to an auto responder about airplanes, you'll of course receive information on airplanes. But if you receive information about boats, then the auto responder service does not hold their part of the bargain.
So what can you do if you are in this situation with your auto responder service ?
Also it says that if during the course of their mailing that you don't like what you receive, you can always cancel your subscription to the auto responder service and no questions asked whatsoever. Its like an ideal deal.
So you quickly give away your name and email to the auto responder service. Immediately, you'll get a welcome email in your inbox. The important thing of the welcome email is to make sure that your email is correct and you really did sign up for the information. If no you then you may not be able to receive the email. Sounds rather logic.
You may also be informed before you sign up that the auto responder service will be sending you a number of information to your email box for a duration of time.
How excited to receive your emails from the auto responder companies. They know your name by addressing your first name in all of their emails, you feel privileged.
The usual is on every email that you receive there are always links to external websites which relate to the subject you subscribe. As you, after all, had subscribed on airplane (in this example) there may be links to airplanes articles, airplanes offers, airplane ticket offers among many other things. Surely at one point of time you checked out these "side infos" and perhaps purchase a few of them.
This is happening not only to you as it happen to everyone who had signed up with the auto responder service.
If you wish to try out an auto responder service for free try here http://www.aweber.com/?297744 . The service is currently the best in its line.

Can email spamming bring you the sales you wanted ?
Can email spamming bring you the sales you wanted ?
I don't think so.
First of all let us explain what we mean email spamming here. Its not sending email to a mailing list where these people have subscribe to receive information from us.
Nor do sending email with a special software using the emails we have bought either which claim to be your targeted market (in this case lets say that it is actually your targeted market).
You have collected lots of emails by what we call "harvesting" from the internet. There are special softwares that can 'spider' websites which meet your keyword search and extract the emails from these websites and kept in its database.
Then you prepare your email and send to the the list you have already harvested. Most probably they can be from your targeted market as you have made the search basing on a keyword.
For example you have something to sell to those who are doing forex trading. So you type the keyword "forex" in your email harvester search engine. It will take a few minutes or even hours where the spider scout the internet and landed itself on web pages which meet the search keyword which is "forex".
Whenever it see what could be an email, with the "@", it will copy the email address and group it in its email database.
Problem is, web pages which do have the word "forex" but not related to trading may also be included.
If this is the case, in order for you streamline, you can try using the keyword search of "forex trading" instead of "forex" alone which reduced the number of websites considerably.
But one caution,. By doing this you are nothing more than spamming. The owners of the emails have in no way sign up to receive any information you want to offer them. So getting an email from you out of the blue can get you into big trouble. They can report you as a spammer which can result your email or even your website being suspended or even banned.
But if you provide them with an optional sign up form, where they would choose to receive information from you rather than "forcing" them to swallow your information, not only your chances of them subscribing or buying your information is better but your conversion rate (possibility of them executing what you want to do) is far off better too.
Bottom line is, do not spam but use optional sign ups instead. It may be a slow process but it won't get you into trouble that you will regret in the future.

Optional Sign up versus Auto responder. Which is better ?
Optional Sign up versus Auto responder. Which is better ?
Actually one is a part of the other. Optional Sign up or "optins" for short, is just a facility for visitors to submit their emails to the owner of the web page or website they are on.
While on the other hand, auto responder also comprise of optional sign in but it takes the process one step up. You can line up messages you want your visitors to receive in their emails basing on the number of days they have signed up. You can time when the messages are send to them regardless the date they joined.
However, not all of our internet marketing effort require an auto responder. We may just need to receive an email and name of our visitors so that we can contact them at anytime. This is better than asking them to send an email to you which they will find troublesome when they must open their email program and just send an email to you. Actually, you may not even require anything including their name. Just a working email will do.
If you have received the emails in your email inbox rather than your auto responder database, you can easily email to anyone of them by clicking on the "reply" button of your email box.
Unless you are renting a auto responder service which can provide you the means to send an email to anyone you choose from the list at anytime, then using an auto responder to do this is next to impossible.
On top of that, your web page visitor may hesitate to fill in an auto responder sign up form knowing you will be sending them emails after emails which they may not want in the first place.
But if you have got hold of your visitors email, you can always amalgamate it with a separate auto responder. This may effect your reputation as your visitors will feel that you have misused their email info.
But as most auto responder provide an opt out, able to request to remove from the list, you are not 100% liable or wrong. Just make sure that the info in your auto responder is related to why they optional sign up in the first place.

Yes, I need to capture my leads but I don't want an autoresponder
Its true that without putting the effort of 'asking' for our web page visitors emails, we may loose them for good if they decide not to buy or join what we show them.
I don't think there is any software or scripts that can capture a visitor's email when they visit our web site.
Capturing our leads' I.P. address, where they are from, time of visiting, domain they are referred to are common utilities we can adopt by using counter and statistic services (even for free) available from the internet. But capturing email without them inputting it, is still new to me. Technology wise this is close to impossible.
Visitors, who are all potential leads, of our sales web page may not decide to buy not entirely because of no interest. Maybe the time is not right for them to buy or they need to do some research on the product you want them to buy. Problem is without any effort to get them to give their emails you may loose them forever.
Not everybody hate to give their emails away. When you have stir the interest of your readers from an article you wrote and they are ready to go to your sales web page via a link you have placed in your article, the 'desire' to buy is there. So what's wrong in giving out their email to something which may possibly benefit them.
I have been searching services (possibly free) that can offer visitors to type their email before it leads them to the web page we want them to go. Most that I see are from auto responders services. Although some of them give free on a trial period basis, they are offering something that I dont want which is auto responders. To me the ability of getting their email to my email box is good enough. I am not expecting thousands of fast sign up in a short period of time.
After doing my search, I found a free service by the name of 'optins' which from the website says that it is from the word optional sign ups. It has exactly what I want and its free. I am not worried if the service suddenly terminate or my membership terminated. All my leads are sent to me by emails so I don't need to copy their database because at anytime I can use the address contact list of my email box to send emails to them.
