I am currently working on pay per click search engine marketing and do not have a large budget to work with at this time. I would greatly appreciate any answers to my question and/or advice that would help me gain rank without breaking the bank to do it.

I have read many blogs, some were good like RealEstateMarketingBlog.org, and some were a waste of time. I am already familiar with PPC and SEO, but these two methods seem to be dwindling in terms of lead generation online.

I am making a new website similar to Twitter or Facebook and I would like traffic to my site.
thanks for any help

Would like to understand all that is involved with SEO. I read about Pay Per Click, lots of fraud, meta data files, need additional web content pages, content writing, page ranking, etc. Anyone have any idea of time and costs associated with all these various requirments? Sure seems confusing!

Yahoo Mail Beta works fine with Firefox (2.0.0.7) in my Intel MacBook Pro (OS X, 10.4.10), but there are no icons when I use the same browser in my Power PC Powerbook.
There is the following message: “Mail Beta doesn’t work with screen readers yet”.
What does that error message mean? What can I do so Mail Beta works on my PPC Powerbook?

For a budget of $500 per month, which is the best company to do SEO work, i.e. build authority site backlinks?

My sister and I have been working hard the last 8 months on our health and wellness website. We have an informative site that promotes helping the body heal itself. We offer a unique inventory of health supplements at very little mark up to stay competitive with large e-pharmacies. We have helpful self-evaluations, a diet diary, a family health history and extensive information on the natural remedies we offer.
We have listed on all the directories we know of, have honed our lists of keywords and use pay-per-click. We are getting up to 2000 hits or more a month with very few purchases. Everyone we know loves the site (even the tech support guys and warehouse personnel who deal with us).
Is there anyone out there who have had success selling health supplents on the web who has any sage advise for us?

Yes it is legit

LOS ANGELES — Jerry Alonzy figured he’d be working into his 70s at least.
As an independent handyman at the mercy of weather patterns near Hartford, Conn., he’d always made a decent income that rarely grew.
Then he found Google (GOOG), and his life changed. Alonzy, 57, now makes $120,000 a year from the ads Google places on his Natural Handyman website, and he couldn’t be more thrilled.
“I put in two, maybe three hours a day on the site, and the checks pour in,” he says. “What’s not to like?”
In return for placing its ads on websites and blogs, Google pays Web publishers every time one of its ads are clicked. Those clicks help keep Alonzy and his wife living comfortably and talking about moving to Hawaii. “All I need is a laptop and a high-speed Internet connection, and I can live anywhere.”

The Internet may be a young person’s medium, but the retired and those nearing retirement such as Alonzy have found that they can work the Web just as well. Sometimes, such “Gray Googlers” can live a richer, more financially rewarding life than when they were supposedly working.
“Google isn’t just for kids anymore,” says Google executive Kim Scott, who runs the company’s AdSense program, the ad platform that provides the income for Web publishers such as Alonzy and others.
Take Jerrold Foutz. The former Boeing engineer, 75, started a website a few years ago devoted to one of his passions — switching mode power supplies, which help drive, for instance, the inside of video cameras.
He put Google ads on his smpstech.com site four years ago. After just one month, the first Google check was for $800. The second check totaled $2,000.
“I thought, ‘Wow,’ ” he said. “This was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. Something I thought would make $50 a year now equals my Boeing retirement check.”
That comes out to around $25,000 yearly.
Foutz’s experience is not an anomaly.
After Hope Pryor’s four kids left home, she grew intrigued with the Internet and learned how to design a Web page. She didn’t want it to focus on just her, so she posted some of her favorite recipes on the site.
Now, her Cooks Recipes site is bringing in nearly $90,000 yearly, mostly from Google ads. The holidays are the biggest-producing months of the year.
“Last December alone, I netted $30,000 from Google,” she says. “There’s not too many people I know who can walk into a car dealership and buy two vehicles at one time. I did just that recently.”
While the upside of working with AdSense sounds exhilarating, it’s not that way for everybody.
Scott says she posted an unsold novel on Google and earns about $5 a month from the AdSense ads on the site. Al Needham, 74, who runs a site about the care of bees (bees-online.com) from his home near Boston, reaps about $250 a month.
“Forget about getting rich overnight,” says Alonzy. “It takes time to learn.”

That’s because if we need to change quantity of one good we need to sacrifice another good (assumed that we are very close to or exactly on this curve) – so we know how much of one good we need to “transform” in order to get extra unit of another

I have a website for my company and am using google to advertise it online, but keywords and someother stuff is confusing. Even reading the help part is confusing. I pay per click if that helps how can I maximise this?
