Anyone who has a website and does any kind of marketing, their main concern is search engine optimization (SEO).  Are they however, overlooking something that may be just as important as or possibly more important than SEO – Internet branding.

What is Internet branding you ask! Branding is not something just done to cattle anymore, as an Internet business person, it is important to brand yourself, or your company so that you are recognized. Designing a recognizable logo for your company is one of the first steps in branding yourself.

When Ray Kroc worked for the McDonald brothers, he had a vision. He wanted those golden arches to be known around the world. He was successful in branding not only himself but his business since the golden arches of McDonald’s are the most well known and recognizable logo in the world.

You are probably wondering how you can do the same thing Ray Kroc did with McDonalds to your online business. If you have the time, the dedication and the persistence you can succeed.

Think of Google®. Can you see those colored words in your head without having to go to their webpage? If you can, they have done their job at branding themselves. What about Yahoo!®. What comes to your mind when you think of them? For me it’s the Yahoo!® sound. Next time you are on their home page, click on the exclamation mark, if you don’t know what sound I am referring to, you will after that. These online businesses have done a great job in branding themselves. They are recognizable, which is the entire reason to brand yourself since branding isn’t just about the logo or the website itself, but it is something you think of when you think of that company.

Since both branding and SEO are both great marketing concepts, when combined together could literally take your business places you only dreamed about.  There are some who will argue that SEO is more important than branding while others will argue the exact opposite.  Why should you have to settle for just one form of marketing when there are clearly 2 that work? You shouldn’t, which is why both branding and SEO are equally important forms of marketing, both online and off.

If you’ve been around money-making circles for any length of time, chances are that you’ve heard of the law of attraction? Some people don’t give it a whole lot of credence but there are others that live their life by it and therefore it behaves like a money-making blog to devote at least some time to discuss exactly what it is.

According to John Chow, one of the dot com moguls of today’s world, the Law of Attraction is simply a concept that illustrates that whatever you may think about, you will bring about.? It is a “like attracts like” law that states that if you can conceive of something and then believe in your own ability to get that particular something, you will definitely be able to achieve that it.

There are a number of case studies that show the effectiveness of the law of attraction, one of them having to do with a man that was chased every single day down the street to work because people knew that he was a homosexual.? The law of attraction asserts that he was visualizing people picking on him and therefore that is exactly what ended up happening each day of his life.? However, one day he was determined not be picked on and started to visualize himself getting to work each day with no problems.? Lo and behold, that is exactly what happened!? His problems with being chased as he walked to work were over through the power of the law of attraction.

This is just one of the thousands of different cases where people have seen changes in their life once they learned about the law of attraction.? There are people who believe in it firmly and people who don’t believe in it at all.? It is up to you to make your own determinations as to what is good for you and if you want to learn more there is a ton of information available around the internet.

Note: There is a product called “the secret”, it is a widely popular DVD well worth checking out. I have seen it a few times and it is good.

ViralURL is a site that I founded. Frank and I teamed up and launched the site exactly 3 months ago today! We launched on the 23rd October 2007 whilst I was in France watching the Rugby World Cup, which my team, South Africa, won! It was an amazing feeling being there to witness it live and the amazing feeling continued when ViralURL proved to be such an amazing success.

It is hard to review your own product from a neutral standpoint but when coming up with the concept, I wanted to create a truly Viral tool that would benefit everyone that used it. The concept was to cover the important aspects of marketing online:

* Protecting Your Affiliate Link

* Building a List and Downline

* Opening up a new stream of income

I feel that we really managed to achieve this and if you look at what our members are saying, the feedback has been nothing short of exceptional with many claiming we offer the best upgrade value for money they have ever seen! That is a big claim and whilst it gives me a warm, tingly feeling inside to hear people say that, it also re-affirms my own belief that this site truly is for all Marketers!

Visit ViralURL today and get started, it is free, but as mentioned above, it has an amazing OTO offer that you can’t go wrong taking. For all members it will perform the above main features as well as secondary methods of advertising your product through text ads on the Viralbars of fellow members and the option to add text ads and banner ads to your site. This site really will help you, free or upgraded and really only takes 5 minutes or less to get going with:

We stated in our last post that we were waiting on our mascot, the face to our persona, and that it would take two more days. A Whole week later and FINALLY things are moving forward again! Looks like the blog is on track to be launched next Monday.

We wanted to show you the transformation that took place before we finally arrived at what we consider ‘adequate’ of how we should look. Feel free to laugh at some of them, I know we did:

Yes – We are not Arabic

We are NOT a Female

Nor are we King Henry 8th!

We Are Not Made of Candy!

AH – My Man! Finally we get the look we feel is deserved of our name!
