After a long development cycle, Bookmarking Demon 4.1 has finally been released. Edwin Brian, Bookmarking Demon’s creator has completely rewritten the program from scratch and created a social bookmarking tool that is far superior to its predecessor. It has a completely revamped user interface and some great new features that make bookmarking your sites easy and safe.

For those who are not familiar with it, Bookmarking Demon is a software that automates creating accounts and submitting pages to social bookmarking sites. It supports twenty different major bookmarking sites including delicious.com, mister-wong.com, and furl.net. It can also submit your pages to Scuttle, Scuttle Plus, and Pligg sites which are typically smaller type sites.

There are quite a few benefits from using a tool like Bookmarking Demon:

Targeted backlinks – Using Bookmarking Demon, you can control what keywords your site gets found under by adding tags. Each tag will create its own page on a social bookmarking site. If you multiply the number of tags by the number of sites you’ve submitting to, you can calculate how many backlinks you will be receiving.

Quickly index your sites – By using the new pinging feature of Bookmarking Demon 4, it tells the web spiders to check out your recently bookmarked sites and consequently gets your sites and pages indexed faster.

Higher position in the SERPS – Bookmarking Demon 4.1 currently supports twenty different social bookmarking sites. Most of these sites will give you high Page Rank, do-follow links. For example, Furl.net currently has a PR of 7, which will pass along a lot of link juice back to your site. The more one-way backlinks you have to your site, the higher position your site will rank.

When you first open Bookmarking Demon 4.1, you’ll right away notice the brand new user interface. Everything is more friendly looking and more functional than the previous version. There is also now a Beginner mode that hides a lot of the more advanced features in the interface which makes it better suited for new users. More advanced users will want to switch to expert mode to gain access to all the functionality that Bookmarking Demon has to offer.

To reduce the chances of getting dinged for duplicate content, Bookmarking Demon 4 introduces a new syntax for bookmarking titles and descriptions. Now you can include text like: Macbooks are great laptops and Bookmarking Demon will randomly choose one of those 3 words to include when bookmarking to a particular site.

A favorite feature of mine is Bookmarking Demon’s support of RSS feeds. In the preferences, you can choose different RSS feeds to add from your favorite sites (like CNN, Google News) and Bookmarking Demon 4 will take random items from these feeds to submit them along side your bookmarked pages. This lets you cloak your own sites, and decreases the chances that you get caught by a social bookmarking site for spamming your own content.

Another feature that I really like is the pinging function. New to Bookmarking Demon 4, after you’ve bookmarked your site, you can ping each of the social bookmarking sites and let the search engines know that there’s newly updated content to be found. Instead of waiting several days for the search engines to find your new links, pinging your site tells them to come right away. This allows your sites to get indexed extremely fast.

Bookmarking Demon 4.1 is a great new release from Edwin Brian. It is much easier to use than the old version, and it has a lot of nice useful features. If you are doing any SEO for your sites, Bookmarking Demon is a tool you need to have in your internet marketing toolbox. By using it regularly, you will get your sites indexed quickly, and increase their rank in the search results very fast. Although you could perform all these tasks by hand, Bookmarking Demon does it for you in an automated way. This saves you time, and as you know, time is money!

If you frequent any internet marketing forums then you will likey already know about niche blueprint because there has been a lot of people talking about it.

One reason that niche blueprint is looking to be good is because it is created by the commission blueprint people. If you know of CB then you know it was a great step by step walkthrough on how to set up profitable campaigns on google adwords.

Domain name is the most important thing while going in the digital world. It is the first step to go in the digital world. This is the initial process to establish a website. Domain name registration is a necessary, easy, and strategically important first step in establishing an online presence, whether for business or otherwise.

A well-chosen domain name registration can set you up for success with your new site in so many ways, the most prominent of these being increased search engine traffic. A good domain name registration, particularly for an online business, is easily done, but at the same time requires choices that will impact your site’s effectiveness. So here, in no particular order, are some things to bear in mind when doing a domain name registration.

The extension – Will it be a .com, .net, .org, .info etc. Any of these will get spidered and indexed by the search engines, but if you can get a .com for your chosen name you’d be better off, as this extension is more common and carries an air of legitimacy with it. Try not to have you domain name registration with your web host. Your domain name registration, purchased from a reputable company should run you somewhere between $1-10, depending on the extension and the amount of time you sign up for.

Probably the most important aspect of your domain name registration is the choice of keywords to use in your domain name. Try to use the main keyword or phrase you’d like to optimize the whole site for, and see if you can craft a domain name around it. The search engines seem to favor keyword-rich domain names. Keep it short if possible.

A shorter name is easier to remember than a long one. Don’t use your company name unless it has your keywords in it. There’s no point in ranking high for your name if no one is looking for it yet. Try to keep your domain name registration topically relevant. As search engines get smarter and smarter, sites that display total relevance will rank higher than catch all sites.

Lastly, be sure to avoid other companies’ trademarks and copyrights in your domain name. For example, let’s say you’re an affiliate of The Sharper Image. To sum up, your domain name registration is easy to do, but important to do well. It can make the difference in whether you get found or not.

“The money is in the list.”

Ever hear that before? Online direct marketers know the key to big money is to build a big, responsive list. Then to “monetize” the list for maximum profits.

Here’s how you make that happen…

You’re about to discover a secret to making easy money from any email list. First, let’s get clear about why people join your list. This is important for you to really understand.

People who join email lists do so because they believe they will get valuable info. You need to contact them consistently. Also, they don’t mind sales messages as long as you don’t bombard them with those.

Join an autoresponder service so you can keep in contact with the folks on your list. Send them an electronic newsletter about the topic they are interested in. A couple of times a week email them offers you feel good about.

Your ezine should go out every week. You can add ezine messages to your autoresponder for a full year on a weekly basis. Pack these weekly ezines with valuable info.

However, you don’t make any money by contacting your list with just good info. You make your money by strategically working sales offers into your contact mix.

Use email broadcasts for these sales offers at first. In time, you can include the winning offers in your follow up autoresponder series.

Sales offer emails should contain either links to products you affiliate with or links to your own products. The process I like is finding 10 to 15 good affiliate products. Then I send out sales offers a couple of times per week for the same product.

Repeat the system we just discussed until you go through all the affiliate products. As I said before, do this with ten or fifteen of them.

After you promote the ten or so affiliate products look at the results. Some of those products got a lot of sales. Make a note of the top two or three. You’re going to use those to create your own version. This process works best with info products.

It won’t take long before you develop a few products of your own. Ones that are proven to sell. Then you start promoting those products to your list in place of the affiliate products.

Next, I look at which of those best-selling products is producing the most profit. I take that product and create a high-priced coaching program.

If you want to, you can just skip to creating the high priced product. Just take the same two or three best selling affiliate products and create a coaching program or high priced info product.

Follow this process consistently and you’ll maximize the profits from your list.

PLR article has become very hot recently, many marketers see them as an simple way to make an avalanche of money online. A lot of people find it hard to create their own, original articles, but there are a million ways of getting the articles they require.

There are many people offering Private Label Rights (PLR) articles but far too often people buy them but never use them. Having a good range of PLR articles on your hard disk gathering digital dust will never make you any money! Unless you can use them, then it is a total waste of time and money in purchasing them.

To make money from your PLR content, you need to use them to market your sites. You need to use them to brand yourself out there in the market place, called the World Wide Web. It is a huge marketplace, and you are a tiny fish in this huge pond. Unless you can be seen, then nobody will know you exist. It is vital to make your articles stand out, making your articles stand out will be the difference between staying in the small pond or swimming out into the ocean with the rest of the big fish!

Sometimes it’s easy when you are starting out on the web to buy every private label rights product that is being offered for sale. You see the potential of the product and you buy without a second thought as to what you need to do with it.

You may have purchased these articles with private label rights and suddenly you are at a loss as to what you can do with them. You need to read any licenses given first but you also need to understand the potential of these PLR articles and the various ways they can be making you money immediately on auto-pilot.

The biggest difference with commissioning a professional author to write your articles/books for you and buying PLR is the number of people who will also get the same content when they are PLR. Having a ghost writer create exclusive articles for you will mean that you can use them straight away. They will not need to be edited, especially if they are well written (always ask for samples before you hire a writer). The one thing you should do with these exclusive articles is to add a byline and have a clickable link back to your web sites and product.

Usually with private label rights you are allowed to claim authorship of the articles but do check on any licenses that come with the Private label rights articles first. You are normally allowed and encouraged to make changes to the articles, to make them unique to you. But if you do buy PLR articles then you always need to remember that you will also be sharing them with a number of other people. Even if the restriction is for 30 people that means that another 29 people will have exactly the same articles that you have purchased. If there rights allow these articles to be given away then even more people will have the same articles.

There is money to be made with Private label articles, but you need to be aware that it will take some time to do the work required, however the more work you put in to make your PLR articles truly unique, the more benefits you will see later on. If you use these articles wisely then you will see the benefits from buying them. What you shouldn’t do is buy hoping to make money, while all the time they remain on you computer. The articles are worth far more to you if they are “out there” promoting your websites and products than when they are sitting on your hard drive gathering digital dust.

As you consider using Private label rights articles you will be able to take advantage of articles in many different niches, and be able to sell those that are not relevant to your own niches. When you are rewriting these PLR content you will be gaining a lot more knowledge on a topic and you might want to consider moving into that niche as well. So whilst it may seem like a tedious job, spending hours editing PLR material, I can assure you that the end rewards more than make up for those hours you spent typing away on your keyboard.
