Well, it's no longer John has decided to stop his useful resource, because he found that there where to many lists just selling, instead of informing. (Of course he didn't mean this one :-) Here's an extract of John's goodbye e-mail: "Dear Dirk, With some regret and a small breath of relief, I am ending active maintenance of the e-zine-list -that's a long-winded way of saying that I ain't runnin' it no more. If you, or someone you know, is interested in taking over the list, please email me, and we'll discuss it. I'll listen to any proposal. To all the e-zine publishers who have been a part of the e-zine-list, thanks for making the list have a reason to be. Sincerely, John Labovitz " -Just wanted to let you know this... ------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsor Ad (Please visit our advertisers. We need them, and they need you!

Smart Promotion Tip ------------------------------------------------------------ HumanClick There's a new tool that lets your web site visitors talk (or chat) with you, directly from your web site.

HumanClick is FREE, and easy to place (just add a few lines of HTML-code and you're done). Great for E-commerce sites as it lets you see who enters your site in real-time. It tells you where the visitor comes from and how long he/she stays on the page. Easy and quick set up, and 100% FREE, so get it now from here: http://www.HumanClick.com ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Guest Article ------------------------------------------------------------ "How to Maximize Your Traffic From Search Engines." By Derrick VanDyke Is getting your site listed with all the major search engines worth the effort? Absolutely! Where else can you get free, consistent exposure for your site where over 80% of the world population is searching? The latest GVU survey shows that 84.8% of Internet surfers find products and services through search engines. What they didn't show is that 95% of those surfers use only handful of the numerous search engines available to find and purchase products and services. The question is: are they finding you? Most people don't look past the first 20 search results. In fact 67% say that they usually look at the first 10 results from a search engine and then try to narrow their focus by using more keywords or boolean terms. This information is a valuable learning tool and an opportunity for you to maximize your traffic from search engines. Basically, if you want to be found, you need to be in the top 20 results. But, that doesn't mean you need to be in that position for a single keyword or the most popular keywords. You will generate more traffic by being found in the top 20 results for a multi-keyword search than being number 2,456,498 for a single keyword search. When people narrow the focus of their search, they try different keyword combinations to get more specific results. There are hundreds of keyword combinations that people will use to find your site. What you need to do is make a list of all the possible search terms (keyword combinations) that people might use to find your site and then integrate them into your Web pages. The problem is that it's impossible to create one page (or even 10 pages) that will get ranked highly all these search terms. It's also difficult to add enough keywords to a page to make it relevant to search engines and still make sense to your visitors. The solution: Doorway Pages! Doorway pages are specifically designed to rank highly on search engines for and then redirect visitors to the main page of your site. Each page is optimized for a particular search term. So, you will need to create a single page for each search term on you list. Once you submit all these pages, your chances of being found will increase 10 fold or more! A top 20 position for even an obscure search term can easily bring you 20-50 new visitors each day. That may not sound like much, but remember, those are actual people searching for your products, not hits or page views. If you secure 10 good listings, you will have up to 500 new, highly- targeted visitors every day! The hard part is learning the ranking criteria of all the search engines and then building, submitting, and checking all those pages. The good news is that there is a service that can do all that for you automatically... And the best part is, it's FREE! SubmitPro! is a FREE service that automatically creates, submits, and verifies unlimited doorway pages. It also tracks your pages (including pages from your personal website) in a database so you know when you submitted each page. You can resubmit any page or verify that it was indexed by the top ten search engines with one click. There's a complete online tutorial that explains how doorway pages work and how to use the various functions of the site. They have designed the site to be user-friendly for everyone. This service is completely free. However, if you would like to host your pages on our site, they charge a nominal fee of $59 per year for unlimited doorway pages.

It uses the latest technology to place your web site in the search engines, without spamming or cheating the engines, so they really make a difference! Why not give it a try? After all, it's FREE!" -------------------- Found this article useful? We have more!
