Internet Marketing Training Guide
There are many methods of marketing an internet business, both free and paid, but I will share here the internet marketing methods that I have used to successfully build my online business. These free methods have generated thousands of backlinks pointing to my Online Business Ideas website, resulting in my site appearing on the first page of Google for hundreds of different keyword phrases.
If you just master one or two of the following online marketing strategies and consistently work at building backlinks to your website on a daily basis your website will start climbing the search engine ranks and appear on page 1 of Google.
Before you actually start marketing your website the first and most important step you need to take is optimizing your website for your chosen keywords.
If you need resources for learning html I found these Newbie Training Videos and this HTML Tutorial a great help.
Search Engine Optimization
Two resources for selecting keywords that I have found very useful are:
Google's recently enhanced Keyword Tool and WordTracker.
Once you have chosen your keywords your next step is to add the keywords to your website. You can optimize your website yourself, it just takes a little time and patience. I used an excellent ebook with easy to follow step-by-step instructions entitled 3 Steps To Search Engine Success and another to help me improve my rankings entitled 10 Ways To Improve Your Search Engine Rankings.
Getting high rankings in Google is all about links. You need to have more links aimed at your web page, with the keywords you want to rank for in the anchor text, than your competition does. However, it is incredibly time consuming and tedious to manually check every single result for the number of links it has aimed at it. Also having to manually check the anchor text of those links can take hours! The WebComp Analyst is highly recommended as it will save you hours of work and do the job for you in seconds.
How To Market An Internet Business
Article Marketing
Now that you have completed optimizing your website it is time to start marketing your website in order to attract targeted visitors.
Your goal is to have your website appear in the search results on the first page of Google when someone keys in your chosen keywords. This is achieved by building backlinks to your website and this can be done using free methods. As with any business it takes time to build, so patience and persistence are required here.
The main online marketing strategy that I have used very successfully is Article Marketing. Details of how I did this are explained in an interview I did for the Plug-in Profit Site News entitled Cynthia Minnaar and The Magic Of Article Marketing plus you will find lots more exciting internet marketing information in the PIPS Power Book and 30 Ways to get Free Website Traffic in 30 Minutes or Less, both of which are free instant downloads.
A very important part of Article Marketing is your Resource Box at the end of your article. I wrote an article entitled How To Use Your Signature To Increase Your Online Business Income which explains how to set up a Resource Box.
You will find more article marketing tips in the following two articles:

Write Your Way To Online Home Business Success.
Another great Article Marketing resource is the ebook written by Janet Wilson, CEO of Empowerism. You are welcome to download a free copy of it here Harness The Power of Article Marketing.
However, if you do not have the time to write and submit your own articles you can always outsource your Article Marketing.
Submitting Articles To The Article Directories
There are various ways to submit your completed articles to the article directories. You can use a submission service such as Submit Your Article who offer the Article Leverage option whereby variations of your article are distributed widely. You can employ the services of individuals or purchase an article submitter.
Here are some of the top directories that I prefer to submit my article to by hand:
Ezine Articles
Articles Factory
Go Articles
Idea Marketers
Buzzle
The Free Library
Blog Skinny
The American Chronicle - You need to apply by email and submit a sample of your work. But it is well worth the effort.
Evan Carmichael - To apply to be accepted as an author you just need to complete the form.
Submitting Your Site To Web Directories
I achieve a great many backlinks from submitting my website to the Web Directories. You just need to do a search on Google to find thousands that you can submit your site to. You can choose to do this manually, pay somebody to do it for you or use a directory submitter to do the work for you.
Forum Marketing
Forum marketing is another free method to build backlinks. You can get all the advantages of Forum posting in an article I wrote entitled How to use Forums to Generate Web Income.
Keep Your Website Fresh By Adding Unique Content
Be sure to keep the search engines coming back to spider your site by continually adding unique content to your site in the form of, for example, unique articles and product reviews.
