Internet Marketing Training Guide
There are many methods of marketing an internet business, both free and paid, but I will share here the internet marketing methods that I have used to successfully build my online business. These free methods have generated thousands of backlinks pointing to my Online Business Ideas website, resulting in my site appearing on the first page of Google for hundreds of different keyword phrases.
If you just master one or two of the following internet marketing strategies and consistently work at building backlinks to your website on a daily basis your website will start climbing the search engine ranks and appear on page 1 of Google.
Before you actually start marketing your website the first and most important step you need to take is optimizing your website for your chosen keywords.

Two resources for selecting keywords that I have found very useful are:
Google's recently enhanced Keyword Tool and WordTracker.
Once you have chosen your keywords your next step is to add the keywords to your website. You can do this yourself, it just takes a little time and patience and I used a free ebook with easy to follow step-by-step intructione - you can download it here - SEO Made Easy.

You can employ the services of individuals or purchase an article submitter.
Here are some of the top directories that I prefer to submit my article to by hand:
Ezine Articles
Articles Factory
Go Articles
Idea Marketers
Buzzle
The Free Library
Blog Skinny
The American Chronicle - You need to apply by email and submit a sample of your work. But it is well worth the effort.
Evan Carmichael - To apply to be accepted as an author you need to email andrew@evancarmichael.com. Include the topic you would like to be considered an expert for and mention that I, Cynthia Minnaar, referred you.
Submitting Your Site To Web Directories
I achieve a great many backlinks from submitting my website to the Web Directories. You just need to do a search on Google to find thousands that you can submit your site to. You can choose to do this manually, or use a directory submitter to do the work for you.
Forum Marketing
Forum marketing is another free method to build backlinks. You can get all the advantages of Forum posting in an article I wrote entitled How to use Forums to Generate Web Income.
