Throughout my affiliate blogging and web development career, a lot of are experiencing either one or both these two known problems when it comes to online marketing: 1. What is SEO, 2. How to SEO. Well, I hope I can write something that is of benefit to all of you. It's important to not only know what is SEO and what are the defining principles of SEO, it is also crucial (if not MORE important) to perform SEO tasks properly and with care. If you get any one of these two wrong, your website or blog will simply suffer the wrath of the Google RED FLAG. To those of who do not even know what a red flag is, let's just say you're completely OUT of Google. Anyways, back to SEO. Read on:

A lot of people tend to overlook on the importance of having your own website. Of course there are plenty of small business owners who would setup blogs and small mini-sites to promote their businesses. In Malaysia, the trend of having your own website is still faint if not entirely dismissed. Lately me and my partners at SubZero Technologies and Resources have ventured into IT solutions. As an online corporate image consultant, I had to look through Malaysian business directories for prospects. After doing a bit of research, I've found that there are plenty of companies out there that do not even implement online marketing into their branding strategy.

Many is a time when fresh internet marketers and bloggers decides to build a list (something which is inevitable) to profit from their business on the internet. As I've discussed earlier, autoresponders play the most significant role in your affiliate marketing career (if you haven't read the article yet go here). In fact, since the invention of the autoresponder, there's almost no other methods of marketing that performs better than autoresponders to sell affiliate products, services and programs.

The main question when you actually decide to invest is this: "Should I go for Aweber or GetResponse?"

If it's your first autoresponder: NONE of those two.

The other day I went through briefly on directory submission to gain backlinks. With the trend nowadays almost completely covering entire search engines with blogs, it's great if you consider submitting your blog to blog directories. Not only does this makes perfect sense, it's also a great way to build your rankings ground up. This gives you the opportunity to promote your blog while gaining recognition amongst other bloggers. The most significant factor that I like when it comes to some of these directories is that you'll have a chance at getting to know and socialize with other blog owners.

Well, I thought really long hard before I actually decided to write an article giving my views on the current scenario of affiliate marketing in Malaysia. Then I spent another few hours contemplating on what exactly should I write about when it comes to the 'still' controversial scenario of affiliate marketing in Malaysia. So here goes nothing. Another dumb article sharing my views.
