Google AdSense Strategies Update


The strategies page of our AdSense Site (ranked #1 by
Google itself, after its own site, of course) has been
updated and overhauled.  We've added the following about
Site Targeting and CPM pricing, too...

http://adsense.sitesell.com/adsense7.html#SITETARGETING

If you use Google AdSense to monetize, print the whole page
and read it in a nice easy chair, away from that glaring
monitor.  I guarantee you'll find at least one good
strategy, likely more, to double-or-better your income.

WWW And CTPM And PASSION Sites Revamped
Lessons To Be Learned


Our brand and online presence have grown, but we aren't
Yahoo!.  So we still have to "sell" (i.e., emphasize USP,
point out benefits, etc., etc.).  That, out of necessity,
feels "salesy."  However, as I said, we have grown. 

A company can afford to tone the "salesiness" down as they
become better known.  It SHOULD upgrade the way the copy
"talks," even the way it looks (less bold and color in text,
etc.).  But there's a thin line that you can't cross.

Read between the lines of revamped copy at these sites...

http://www.sitesell.com/

http://proof.sitesell.com/

http://ctpm.sitesell.com/

Then ask yourself if your copy matches who YOU are.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho
It's Back To Work $100 Special


As you know, SBIers do so well that over  your
"giftee" would become your lifetime customer.
And if s/he became an affiliate, s/he would
be in your Team.  So this is also a great way
to earn recurring and 2nd tier income.
-----SIDEBAR-----


There's nothing like owning your own e-biz, as so many
thousands of SBIers already know.  So get started now and
give one (or two) to friends and family.

But hurry...

The special ends at the stroke of midnight, September 6, 2005.

For details, please see any one of the following...

The Hidden Message In Google Sitemaps


Google Sitemaps lets Google know about every page on your
site via a single XML file.  As mentioned in the last issue
of the EDGE, we launched a new free module in SBI! that
automates this important new Google traffic-builder.

Yes, FREE.  Included in the entire SBI! bundle...

http://buildit.sitesell.com/main/home.html#FEATURES

And the spiders are coming with terrific regularity.

It's WIN-WIN-WIN.

--

This week, Google has introduced a verification process and
we're addressing that as well.  We'll do everything possible
to make it easier for folks to succeed at business online --
SBIers focus on their business, not on tech issues.

Most non-SBI! small business people are still struggling
with what the heck "Google Sitemaps" means and "how to do
it."  And for those few who've figured it out, they have to
modify and upload a new file whenever they add to their site.

Not SBIers... it's all automatic.

No other company can automate a service like this.  Think of
SBI! as "new-fashioned" Web hosting, as outlined at...

http://www.sitesell.com/

Only SBI! manages every bit of data on every SBI! site
through a massive central database.  So SBI! is able to
create Google's XML file and let them know about it.

But, with old-fashioned, failure-inducing Web hosting, it's
impossible to do this.  No other small business Web host
offers such a complete, success-building service.  Why not?

Because all they have is a bunch of pages sitting on the
disks of their servers.  They  have no idea what you build,
submit, etc., etc., etc.  In short...

There is no easy way for them to know what you're doing,
both on their servers and off them.  They might actually do
something that conflicts with your efforts.  That single
difference is what allows us to create "COMPARE" pages that
display overwhelming differences in feature sets...

http://compare.sitesell.com/

Look at all the new features.  I sure hope folks wonder what 
the heck their current small business Web host has done for 
them lately, and why they are failing.

And all those features, COORDINATED by the master database,
ultimately account for the REAL BENEFIT, the real point of
difference of SBI! vs. any other company...

SBI! sites succeed.

Network Marketing... Finally Getting It!


Interesting.  

Affiliate marketers discovered SBI! long, long ago. 
They form a significant percentage of SBI! owners.  And 
they thrive, blending in Google AdSense and additional 
monetization options to, at long last, build strong, 
diversified, infopreneurial businesses.

There are at least 10 times more Network Marketers in this
world.  And if you think about it, the only difference
between Network Marketers and affiliates is the number of
tiers (3 or more).  Oh yes, one more thing....

Its origins lay offline.

-----SIDEBAR-----
Many people don't like Network Marketing (AKA
"MLM").  They think of it as pyramid schemes. 
And yes, there are certainly scams out there.

But MLM is really just another way to
distribute product.  The key is to avoid the
scammy companies.  And follow the C-T-P-M
approach of SBI! to build solid credibility
and interest...

http://networkmarketing.sitesell.com/
-----SIDEBAR-----


The offline origin explains why MLM is still struggling so
hard to use the Net properly.  These marketers have not been
able to use it intelligently.  Big companies try to control
their associates.  And many MLMers are mostly looking for
the quick buck or are misdirected by others.

However, we're starting to see folks finally understand the
approach laid out at...

http://networkmarketing.sitesell.com/

Yes, the C-T-P-M approach requires an INVESTMENT of work 
upfront.  But it builds a pipeline of leads that YOU 
own.  AND it puts YOU in charge.  You can switch companies 
in a second.  You can (and SHOULD) add OTHER monetization 
streams.  In short, you are in the CONTENT business.

Network marketing is just one way to monetize your PREsold
traffic.  As I said, we're seeing some "pioneers" who get
it.  And here are the highlights of a super thread from the
SBI! Forums...

-----SIDEBAR-----
Only 5P Affiliates or SBI! owners can access
the forums.  If you are neither, join the 5
Pillar Affiliate program...
