My main website is www.michigan-horse.com which give me a nice check monthly for my adsense ads.  I`m ranked in the #1 position on Google for many of many keywords.

The ebook I`m talking about though gives much more detail on MANY ways of promoting your website.  Through articles, forums, blogs, FREE things that you can do to propel your site to #1 (or close to it).

Plus she gives you other tidbits of information of how to make money online.

I have honestly bought about 10 ebooks in this area, and this is by far the best. 

Check it out - CLICK HERE and start your Honest Riches!

I find the title of your link very interesting, about "honest riches" because ... as an internet marketer ... you make a living exploiting the algorithms of search engines. I am all for SEO within limits ... but when you see stories about how people were paid to manipulate digg, then things have gotten out of control. Sure, you can make money doing it, but why should you exploit a free service and cost another company more money to change their service to stop you?

It reminds me of a few years back, when everybody and their brother put up a sign that said "WE WILL GET YOU A #1 PAGE RANK FOR ONLY $[insert some money amount here]!" It makes me laugh when they still try to sell you this, because Google and Yahoo! are working HARD to prevent this from happening.

I find this a very controverisal topic in general.

I`m interested in an apparent correlation between missing calls to action on Web sites, and the same problem in various types of forum postings.

It seems to me that the number one rule for an entrepreneur should be to always engage the interest of the open market (potential customers). As such, if someone posts about a book that`s super-dooper fantastic, why wouldn`t there be an included sales pitch?

I`ll look at the book, that`s not an issue...it`s interesting only because it`s been posted here. But beyond that, it just intrigues me that so many people make recommendations on a forum, but forget to make a pitch of some kind. Is that useful information?

I wonder if maybe it`s only a generic problem with MLM and Network marketing people? This book is just another one of those, to the point where anyone who posts such a hyperbolic topic increasingly seems to be in that category. :-)

Richard (Keycon) came up with an excellent rule of thumb. When you get a "this is a fantastic product" post, check the member profile and see they`ve just joined, have no content, and no Web site, typically they`re just trying to hype some sort of get-rich-quick scheme. I`ve been testing that for a few months now, and have to say, it`s pretty accurate....as a general rule.

Yes, I am new to this forum, but not new to the internet world of trying to make a buck or a few hundred bucks.

Honest Riches, is a really great ebook.  Lots of things you can do for free.

I also just bought Day Job Killer and didn`t care for it.  It`s all adword campaigning.   That`s fine if that`s how you want all your income, but I want multiple ideas to get there. 

I also have 4 websites .... Michigan Horse, Colorado Horse, Tennessee Horse and Kentucky Horse.  I do fairly well with my Adsense Ads on those sites ... so as you can see, this is a subject I know a bit about.

I`ve been using Keycon`s rule for months now, not knowing it was his.
A second rule is to hover my mouse over words like "click here". If I see a link appear with a bunch of subdomains (like http://rudy32.mannco.hop.clickbank.net/) I just move on.

I love this thing:

I don`t know why but it makes me laugh every time.

CraigL, I`m actually a fan of missing calls to action websites, if I`m reading you right. I don`t want to be pushed into the sale. I want to read about and maybe later I`ll refer you or buy or whatever. But I don`t like being pushed. If I`m there to buy, I`ll buy. But maybe that`s me. I`m anti-salesman!

A "call to action" is just business lingo for offering the browsing customer a chance to get involved with the site. It`s like putting a demo model of a TV or microwave oven in a store for people to mess with.

Some sites blast out a screaming, repeating demand for action. Push this now! Click here! Buy this instantly! If you don`t buy now, you`ll be ruined for life!

That`s just trashy advertising, basically. But consider an upscale jewelry store where someone comes up and says, "Feel free to look around. If you need any help, I`ll be right over there." That too is a call to action, in that it offers the customer the option of initiating an action to go further along the (another lingo term) "customer journey."

The problem with many sites is that they capture someone`s imagination, then leave the person abandonned. There isn`t a way to order, find out more, learn more, or explore the rest of the site.

It`s like having a 300-page novel, where the first page gives a few teaser paragraphs of the story, then at the bottom is says, "To find out how this story continues, call us at 1-800-CONTINU. Then the rest of the book is either blank pages or advertisements.

wow, lisa gives some advice that she thinks is pertinent to the cause of this site and she gets bit for not applying craigs laws of posting.  simply put, the book is an excellent source of information for web marketing techniques - but what do i know, i just joined...........
 
i think there is a generic problem with so called "entrepeneurs" that they like to think they are more important than they are.
 
keep in mind - my fellow geniuses, 
- those who talk rarely do and those who do rarely talk
