A little bit about me …
__________
Hi guys, I'm Ron Smith and would consider myself still a learner when it comes to internet marketing.__________
My main area of struggle is keyword research. Well, not actually keyword research 'coz I can find hundreds of duffers. I do struggle to find keywords that pay.__________
I put this site together to let other budding marketing moguls know what stuff (software,methods,tools) is working for me.Tools I Use
At the moment I’m using various tools and services in my day to day marketing. I’ll put a brief description below about anything I think you should be using.
Instacash Keyword Service
This is what this site was put up for, you can read a more in depth write up by clicking here. This is the main article on the front page and you may have already read it.
Article Submission Services
Unique Article Wizard
This isn’t cheap, but used right can be highly effective. I’ve had pages shoot up Googles rankings in a matter of days, not weeks after using this service. Click here to read a bit more.
My Article Network
This is cheaper than the UAWiz (above) but is highly effective at grabbing targeted traffic. In fact I get lots of sales direct from this service. That’s without the bonus of helping my pages up the Google ladder. Click here to read a bit more.
Keyword Software
Traffic Travis
This piece of software is made by Mark Ling of Affilorama fame. You can get a weeks trial for $5 by clicking this link.
I use this a lot to check if my web pages are good for SEO. It gives you an instant mark (A,B+ etc) on your page and it’s SEO potential.
The competition feature is also worth it’s weight in gold. No point building a page that you are going to find it’s hard to rank for. I know that one only too well. I built loads of pages targeting keywords I thought I could rank for. Took me about 6 months to realise I was pissing in the wind.
But most of all I like Traffic Travis because it’s really easy to use. There’s nothing complicated about it, if I can use it, anyone can.

Tracking
Why track? Good question. I was obsessed with tracking all my sales when I first started. I’m not so obsessed now, but still realise it’s something that needs doing.
For instance, I know I get a lot of sales from “My Article Network” so I should keep that subscription going.
How do I track? I use a bit of php coding at the top of all my webpages. PHP is a web programming language and it’s not that hard to pick up the basics. The beauty of it is it’s a server side language, so everything happens before the visitor even gets to load the page.

Visitor Stats
I suppose keeping track of your visitors is also something that needs to be done. The easiest way I know is to sign up for Google Analytics, it’s free and pretty straight forward. You do have to add a tiny bit of code to your web pages though, but well worth it in my opinion.
Good luck with your marketing,
Ron
