I’ve just been updating a couple of things and thought I would share these plugins with you which in my opinion are amongst the best plugins WordPress have to offer. All are free and easy to use.

Just click on the links to go to the download area for each plugin

1. TweetThis
TweetThis is a great WordPress plugin to help you increase the likelihood for visitors to your blog to share your posts through Twitter. When you install the plugin, an invitation link is included at the end of your blog posts suggesting that readers “TweetThis” and share a link to the post they’re reading through their Twitter feed.

2. All in One SEO Pack
The All in One SEO Pack plugin allows you to add title tags, descriptions, keywords and more to every page and post published on your blog. Users consistently report a noticeable increase in traffic to their blogs from Google searches after installing and using the All in One SEO Pack plugin.

3. SEO Title Tag
The SEO Title Tag plugin allows you to override the automated title tags that WordPress sets for your blog posts and pages, so you can use keywords in your title tags that are far more search engine-friendly than the words in your actual post or page titles.

4. Google XML Sitemaps
Google XML Sitemaps is a plugin made with a specific search engine optimization benefit in mind – to help Google find every post and every page on your blog, index them and include them in search results. Helpful for blogs that want to get indexed by search engines quickly.

5. Simple Tags
The tagging functionality in WordPress is great, but the Simple Tags plugin takes it to a whole new level by boosting your blog’s search traffic.

I hope you find these useful

By reading this blog post I am assuming you are a fellow marketer like myself, trying to make a living selling goods or services in this massive superstore called ‘www.The Internet’.

Over the last few years I have learnt so much about the in’s and out’s of online marketing and made many many mistakes, both large and small but all important in attempting to be the best I can at what I do. To me the importance to being a success is not about getting in there first with the next big product launch and mailing the world, his wife & even his dog about it just to get a few bucks into your PayPal account. It’s the trust and respect I can achieve by giving customers what they want not what I want them to have.

Ok! this may slow down my aspirations of being a multi millionaire by the end of the month but hey, I’m in this for the long haul and I genuinely get a great feeling when I know my efforts are rewarded via ethical marketing and trust. I’ll never make a great salesman, I’m too honest for that, I’ve dealt with many sales reps here in the real world and although many are great at what they do there are as many who just want to get the money and run.

The main point of this post is to relay the importance of your customers in every aspect of your day to day running of your online empire..no matter how large or small. You will never achieve your goals without your best assets..Your customers, respect & honesty. Here are a few of things you should do in order to gain any decent level of success online.

If you selling goods or services online then you need customers to make money, It’s obvious. So it should be equally obvious that if you have a satisfied customer then that person will want to do business with you again and the odds are that the person will tell someone else how good you were to do business with.

However, if you treat a customer badly or without respect over one little conflict or request then that person will probably never do business with you again and you can bet that person will tell a few others how bad you are to do business with. Getting bad press is so much easier than achieving good press. So here’s  how to keep your customers…

Respect….
The place to start is to treat all of your customers like gold. Treat them well always! You should give them respect and your personal attention all of the time. There is no exception to this rule. These are the people who give you THEIR money, without them you would not make any money at all in marketing. Always remember this!

This part is crucial, there will be sometimes when you don’t feel like being nice. Some people are not nice or reasonable and border on being total jerks and there’s no doubt you’ll run into more than your fair share of people like this. This includes people who accuse you of cheating them, people who don’t seem to understand what you tell them and the worst kind (IMO) are the people who think you and the rest of the world owe them big time!
It’s your job to be the greatest business owner ever and do everything within reason to try to make every single person happy. However, if it gets to a point where you simply can’t continue helping someone because they are just impossible, then move on. It will happen BUT just make sure you are polite and respectful no matter what the customer does. Do not give them any ammunition to bring your reputation into dispute.

Over-Deliver….
It’s amazing how customer problems drop dramatically when you over-deliver to them. For example, you promise your customers a bonus gift if they buy a specific product. They buy the product and you give them three bonus gifts. That’s over-delivering.
Always do it. By doing this simple step you will be building unbelievable customer loyalty and you’ll also cut-down on most of your customer problems before they even happen.

Follow-Up….
Following-up with your customers is a great marketing move and a ‘must’ to retain customers, yet most people just don’t do it.
All it involves is a quick email and nothing more. A few days after someone buys something from you just send them a brief email thanking them for the sale, if everything is okay and if they have any questions for you.
Remind them that you are there for them and then say another thanks and end the email. Do not try to sell them anything else, not at this time. You can send another email a week later, but make sure you first send one email that’s just a “thank you”.

So those are the key tips to keeping your customer base. In short just remember these 3 things:

1…You need to always be nice to your customers
2… You should always over-deliver with all your products
3… Always follow-up on your sales.

If you do these three things, you’ll find that your customers will remain loyal and just as importantly, they will let others know just how good you really are. I aim to be around for many years and if I can gain a great reputation like many other marketers.. John Thornhill, Sharleen Raven, Adeel & Bobby to name just a few then I will be ecstatic.

Here ends the lesson

I found this excellent post here and thought it needs to be shared.

Few would disagree that SEO is one of the most important aspects of having a top ranking website or blog. SEO should be used as an integral part of your overall ranking strategy, and is vitally important coupled with keyword research, on page SEO, back-linking, sitemaps and article submission creating an allround search engine dominating force. This article explores 5 essential tips for SEO domination that can be started right now.

1. Keywords are important – but the right keywords relevant to your site and on page SEO are vitally important. To optimise your webpage for your keywords involves placing your keywords in your Title tag (the thin blue line at the top of your page), within your H1 and H2 tags on your webpage and strategically placed within the first paragraph of your main text. Although some Internet Marketers do not consider this as important it is worth completing this step in your overall strategy. Search engines crawling the internet now have a better chance of finding your site and indexing your site for the keywords you chose.

2. Submiting articles to high ranking article sites is a sure way to receive traffic and increase your overall ranking with the search engines. The most popular article site is ezinearticles.com who follow strict guidelines for submission of your articles but in return you can receive free traffic and back links with very little effort. Outsourcing article writing is a very smart way to maximise the number of articles you can submit for a relatively small investment saving you time and the effort of writing articles yourself.

3. Back linking has become a very important aspect of traffic generation and search engine ranking. By receiving high PR (Page Rank) backlinks from as many sources as possible (naturally) search engines value your webpage as more important over time. Finding high ranking websites to submit links to can be difficult but well worth the effort – several tools exist to help find these and many products have been created to submit and find high PR relevant websites. These links add credibility to your site and have proven themselves to be highly effective in SEO domination.

4. Sitemap submission is also important allowing search engines to see your website. Submitting your site to the major search engines gives your site an extra boost when the robots crawl the net looking for new sites. Submitting your sitemap is relatively easy and some platforms such as wordpress have plugins which do this automatically for you. Do not forget this step in your overall strategy.

5. Keyword research is vital to your success and what can be the most exciting stage of SEO domination is finding the right keywords with minimal competition but targeted and relevant traffic. What keywords do your customers use to search for your product and are they buying when finding the information they need? Your goal is to find targetted keywords relevant to your site, and how your customers are searching when using those keywords – the good news is there are products available to help with this research and many forums also teach these skills.

The tips outlined above when used together will help increase your online presence and ensure the major search engines “find” your site in the maze that we call the Internet. Some of these tips alone can create massive amounts of traffic but ideally combining them all should become standard practise when lauching any new or existing site.
