Dear fellow internet marketer,

Long gone are the days of clunky, standalone, research tools. Having created over 15 best selling software applications for the internet marketing community, I like to think that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to creating tools that will save you time, and make you and your business a heck of a lot more money from the internet.

After 8 months, and over $127,000 in development costs, we’ve created a new tool that revolutionizes the way keyword research and competition spying is done. Instead of downloading a bulky desktop application to your computer, you’ll be downloading a very very small plugin that actually runs INSIDE of your web browser (Firefox).

With this tiny plugin, you’ll be able to uncover more helpful information about your competition, and how they’re making money online, than you ever could with ANY other current tool on the market – and you’ll be able to do it as you simply browse the internet!

With the information PPC Web Spy provides, you’ll be able to take a struggling internet business and almost instantly turn it into a profitable business!

Just released: a new flash movie just in time for the historic inauguration of Barrack Obama. It presents a more hard hitting speech in support of “Main Street” and blasting “Wall Street” for it’s unsustainable and unscrupulous practices. Adapted from the new book by David Korten: Agenda for A New Economy.

Check it out right here, as we added to this version a handy widget that lets you play in right in your own blog. Use the share button if you like it and pass along the main URL to your lists. The Embed button lets you embed in your site or blog and the free gift gets you free access to the whole speech from the new book. Enjoy!

YouTube started this idea of embedded video so that you can include other peoples content in your blog posts and there is no reason not to do this. Unless users state otherwise, the YouTube agreement is that anyone can embed and include these videos in their own web pages and blogs. Other flash based video and movies can also be included in this same way. For instance, here is the code I just copied from a new flash movie I am making based on a new book by David Korten. You can see that it instructs the browser to play it directly from the source:

<embed src=”http://bkconnection.com/agenda/speech.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” allowFullScreen=”true” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”600″ height=”470″></embed>

Now, here is that same code placed into the html view of my blog. Cool, eh?

Likewise, YouTube code is always available under the description. They have recently added some customization options. This one is set for 500 pixels wide with a blue border. Same story as above, you just copy and paste the html into your site or blog and there ya go. This is a related piece to the Obama speech above:

The search engines are constantly trying to delivery current and relevant news to the searcher. Therefore online press release pages are often given a boost and are sometimes easier to rank than regular site or blog pages.

Case in point: I have been trying to get Best Performance Systems to rank for keywords like Workplace Ergonomics for some time now without much success. But recently I helped to craft a news worthy article, with quotes from the expert and well optimized for the keyword “workplace ergonomics”.

I used a free service called PRlog.com and submitted this release using all the same strategies I use for any other page: balanced content, keyword at beginning and end and related terms throughout. The very next day, this post was on page 2 of Google and with just a little boost from some social bookmarking sites, this competitive term is now on page 1, currently #7, out of 270,000 websites. Not bad!

See the search results here.

Another key advantage to press releases is that they can be syndicated by other press and news sites that may have more authority in the eyes of Google than the original PR site. This happened recently with a press release on Truck Wash Wastewater

The original release dropped off the rankings for this term, but a water news site picked it up and is now at #5 for this article, which links to the clients website.

See results here.

If used correctly, press release services, even the free ones, can get high rankings and help you get the word out about your product or service.
