Andrea Bocelli & David Foster - My Christmas

Guess what, I am watching the Andrea Bocelli & David Foster – My Christmas Concert DVD now while I am writing. YES, Xmas is round the corner- a mere 13 days from now. It is a festive season and everyone is in holiday mood I guess. Have you got your shopping list ready for Xmas? I have got mine – 4 sets of Infra Red CCTV, 3 sets of outdoor photo beams & a DVR, 1 motion detector, 2 spot lights, 2 new TV sets, 1 grill door, few extra locks etc. You must be wondering why am I having all these security accessories.  Am I going to build a jail?  Two thieves were trying to break in my house few days ago but unsuccessful because they triggered the alarm system of my house after they smashed one of the glass door. Anyway, thanks to the neighbour who spotted the car plate no of the 2 thieves. Do not ask me where are the thieves now….

Forget about the ‘exciting moment’ that I had. I am going to give everyone of you a wonderful Xmas gift – 50 FREE WordPress Templates or Themes.

Search Engine Optimisation is the Key to Your Online Success

Basic On Page Optimisation

SEO is Myth.. But there are rules you should follow

If you want to have your website ranks on the top of Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), you will have to know how to please Google, as easy as that. Pleasing Google is not difficult if you know what Google want. It is like if you know how to please the emperor in Ming Dynasty, then you will get promoted and have unlimited access to wealth!

To please Google, you will have to do well in both On page and Off page optimization for your website. If you want me to give a percentage weight to the importance of On page optimization, I would say it is around 20% of the overall optimization task. Off page optimization will make up the remaining 80%. Having said that, if the keywords you are targeting is very competitive, then the Off page optimization may take up even bigger share!

Before I go on, I just like to stress that I am talking about Google.com SERPs not Google.com.my, Google.co.uk  or Google.com.sg. I always like to target international SERPs, I do not want to limit my site to only Malaysia search engine results or end up being the King of Singapore or UK only. We have to aim big and make big money.  Rank No.1 in Malaysia or Singapore SERPs may make you $1000 per month, but rank No.1 in the worldwide SERPs may make you $50,000 per month (the worldwide search volume is always higher than the local search results). So you can see why I always encourage people to aim big and look further beyond one country. Internet has no boundary.

To do well in On page optimization, there are few important and basic items one have to take good care of:

1. Have the keywords you want to target on the Title Tag.
2. Have the keywords at the Header.  It can be in the H1 or H2 header.
3. Have the keywords well spread out in the page. But don’t try to stuff the keywords in the page as Google is no more young kid in the market. You will be penalized by Google for keywords stuffing.
4. Have site map – both XML and user facing. Site map make life easy for those surfing your site. It is easy to manoeuvre around with a site map.
5. Have call to action like Buy now especially when you are doing e-commerce site.
6. Meta Description and Domain name may not be that important anymore, but it is good to have the keywords mentioned there.
7. All the images in the page should have Alt text so that Google understand what is the image about (Google can’t read image so you need to tell Google what is the image about by text).
8. Do not have broken link in the page.
9. Have inter pages link within your domain.
10. Create more pages instead of 1 page website.
11. Do not have different url, i.e. Google read http://AddyKho.com different from http://www.AddyKho.com. So always be consistent with your url.
12. Do not have hidden links or keywords behind your html source. Google is not stupid to read what you are trying to do.
13. Most Important of All – Have GOOD CONTENT. Content is the King. Google love original content and also website with frequent updates. Therefore you hardly see a landing page ranks on the 1st page of SERPs.

If you want to have easy life and do well in On page optimisation, please consider using WordPress for your website. WordPress is SEO friendly in term of its site structure.  Don’t forget to install the All in One SEO plugin for your WordPress.

Remember this, On page optimisation is the 1st step in the SEO campaign after you have had the targeted keywords in mind.

So what are the benefits of ranking well in SERPs, say the top 5 of Google results on the 1st page? You will see money coming in without spending a dim! Just like this- I woke up this morning realised that I made 150USD while I was sleeping last night, promoting an adult health product on one of my site.

How to set up your own Blog and Membership Site in 9 Mins

Since my last post about having your own business blog, I have received numerous queries on how to set up a blog. I therefore take the opportunity to show you how to set up your very own blog and also the membership site in 9 mins.

Of course before that you should have your own domain name and hosting server. If you have not got one, I would recommend you HostMonster. The reasons I recommend HostMonster are:

a. Reliable & Fast Support
b. $5.95 Hosting fee per month- less than a meal of McDy
c. Free Domain Name for new sign up
d. Unlimited bandwidth, space & domain name in the account

Check out the video here and I will show you step by step to have your very own blog set up fast and easy!

There is no RIGHT time to start your online business. If you want to make money online, ACT NOW!

There are a lot of people may be scratching their head do not know how to at least get their website up and running. To help you get organised and also to help you to kick start your million dollar online business (it is very possible), I try to dig into my head to see what I can think off, at least the FREE tools, for you to start making money online:

1. Website Design- WordPress.org or Nuv.com

If you have money, of course you can get a good designer to design a good website for you. But do you know that wordpress.org is a FREE software where you can download and configure it yourself and publish on your hosting. The beauty about WordPress is that there are tons of free template where you can download and a lot of times they look  much better than the design of your paid designer. WordPress is famous for its blog creation, some people even use WordPress as their e-commerce site.

If you really want to be hands-on and start designing your simple website, then you can try out www.nuv.com. This is comparable to Dreamweaver and also Frontpage.

2. CamStudio for Video Screen Capture Marketing – Camstudio.org

If you want to capture your screen and post a video online, you can try out Camstudio.org. In normal circumstance, if you want to purchase a more complete Camtasia Studio, it will cost you easily USD299. So why spend that sort of money if you have not even started making money online?

If you need some free audio recording software to pair your version of CamStudio, you can get one at audioflash.org and you can create very professional videos to help you generate traffic or to sell your product.

3. Graphic Creation – Gimp.org

Not every computer comes with PhotoShop software. Soometimes you have to pay more for it to come in a bundle with other computer software. I must admit PhotoShop is not so user friendly especially if you are a newbie. No doubt about that it is a very powerful graphic software.

But Gimp.org or called GNU Image Manipulation Program is a FREE program which is very easy to use, and it allows you to do photo retouching, image composition, create call to action buttons, minisite graphics, ads and more.

4. Payment Gateway- PayPal.com

There are many payment gateways available online. But a lot of them charge you money for signing up or even before you start accepting any payment. PayPal is not only the most popular payment gateway, it is also free to set up. You will only be charged certain fee when payment is made into your account.

5.Hosting-Homestead.com

There is no such thing as FREE and Unlimited hosting for your own domain name. But Homestead.com does provide a 30 days FREE hosting before you have to pay. Of course you can pull out if you think you are not happy with their service. And another beauty of Homestead.com is that it also provides you a lot of ready made websites for you to start your own business!  So it is hassle free for those who really do not know and have no time to create a website. And hopefully before 30 days your business already bringing in some money to you.

You do not have to worry how to upload your website or file to the internet. There are always free FTP (file transfer protocol) provided by the hosting company.

I really hope this 5 FREE and simple tools will help to kick start you online  business and bring you a lot of MONEY in year 2010. Feel free to buzz me if you need help in your internet business venture.
