It is also an excellent tool for enhancing website owners online research efficiency because it provides all the information they need in a single search. Getting the dope on competitors' or potential collaborators' websites can now be done with a single search.

Here are some of the key benefits of the Alexa toolbar:

• You don't have to go to Google every time you want to do a search because a Google search field is built in to the browser.
  
• Also, the Google search results are combined with Alexa data about the sites.
• And, you will pull up the best sites because they are ones that are ranked on Alexa!

If you have a website but have no clue about SEO, I'd like to recommend search engine optimization specialist Suzanne Morrison's ebook, 3 Steps To Search Engine Success

What is SEO?

Suzanne explains:

"SEO is the process of choosing the best keywords for your website, optimizing the pages on your website for your chosen keywords and then increasing your search engine ranking by building high quality links back to your website."

A lot of folks are under the impression that SEO is a complex, highly technical task because many of the manuals on SEO are hundreds of pages long and many a search engine optimization specialist would not hesitate to charge thousands of dollars to optimize your website.

Suzanne Morrison's brand new 3 Steps to Search Engine Success guide proves that you don't have to be a techie or a marketing whiz to get your website to the top of the search engines.

This clearly written, easy-to-follow SEO guide explains everything you need to know to get your website moving up the search engine rankings - in plain English!

The guide comes in PDF format and at just over 50 pages long you won't find yourself getting lost in lots of tiny detail and technical jargon. Suzanne explains how to get your website onto the first page of Google.

The first chapter explains exactly what SEO is and how it works. It then goes on to cover keyword research - how to find good keywords from your website using free keyword research tools and how to decide which keywords are the best ones for your website.

Next, you get a step by step guide on how to optimize your website for the search engines. You will see exactly where you need to put your keywords on the page to get a good ranking.

Finally, the third step of the 3 Steps to Search Engine Success eBook explains how to easily get good backlinks to your website and includes a few methods that most webmasters don't even know about!

As well as covering the three main steps of SEO, the book tells you how you can easily monitor your progress, check your visitor stats and compare yourself against your competitors. There is also a good section describing all the things that you should AVOID if you want to get a good search engine rank. Knowing exactly what to avoid doing in SEO is important as you don't want to end up with your website being banned from the search engines, so it is good to see a whole section dedicated to these pitfalls!

Overall, the book is straightforward and easy to read and understand, yet still manages to cover everything that a search engine optimization specialist would do for you. There are screenshots and examples throughout the ebook, which make it easier to follow than the majority of SEO guides on the market - and cheaper too!

Every experienced Internet marketer knows how important it is to find profitable niche markets.

Unfortunately, a lot of what Internet marketing gurus teach about finding niches is very simplistic. It goes something like this:

1. Choose something that interests you or that you have experience in.
2. Plug the main keyword into a keyword research tool.
3. Check how many searches it generates. If it's about 30,000 per month, it's a good niche. Anything less than that is not a good niche. If it is way above 30,000 searches, there is probably too much competition in this niche market.

That's it! Based on those three steps, you are supposed to find a niche.

So, what's wrong with this advice?

Actually, nothing - except that it does not go far enough... I just published information about the extra steps you need to take on my main website. Click the link and scroll down to the second panel, titled "How Do The Internet Marketing Gurus Find Their Niches?"
