Opportunities vs Information

Although there are tons of material on the Internet about "information marketing," the vast majority of beginning Internet Marketers confuse "information" with "opportunities." So, here's the difference between an "opportunity" and "information."

An "opportunity" is a deal whereby your involvement and/or interaction directly with the promoter of the deal is suppose to allow you to make money.

"Information," on the other hand, is only "information" until YOU turn it into an "opportunity" by using that information to do something you want to do.

Think about it! -- Quit confusing "information" with "opportunity."

Before you buy any opportunity, search out sources of "information" (books, booklets, reports) on the subject to determine whether or not the opportunity is real or a scam.

Re: Quick Ways To Utilize SEO Effectively - There are many different types of content: blog content, website content, newsletter content, audio & video content, the list can be endless. I'll just list 10 types of website content here: * Index/Introduction * Product Descriptions * Testimonials * Reviews * Resources * How-to Information * Downloads * Contact Information * Navigation/Site Map About/Company Info Anchor text as the others have said is the hyperlinked words on a web page - the words you click on when you click a link. Anchor text is important because it tells the search engines what the page is about. Used wisely, it boosts your rankings in search engines, especially in Google.If you use "click here" as the words people are going to click on, you're telling people the page is about the subject "click here", which is not the phrase you want to rank highly for, the text you need to use is a keyword that you have chosen for your website, blog or article. Take care, Carol
