Do You Really Understand What Long Tail Means

internet marketing, motivation, Passive Income

I’ve just made a commission from a website which has only ever had 8 visits and I may have been half of those, that’s really Long Tail; of course I’m still waiting for sales from some of my other websites which have had tons of traffic.  But that’s Internet Marketing there’s no logic or justice to it, you will eventually be rewarded if you carry on creating content, blogging, cleverly positioning affiliate links etc. But if like me you’ve been a wage-slave for a longtime it’s pyschologically difficult to work for a completely uncertain reward. I still feel that even after I’ve had much success and earned online income from many different sources, I make 2 or 3 sales everyday, but I still get anxious if have a couple of dry days, also I’m still held back by the feeling that I’m waiting for Internet Marketing to prove to me that you really can make a living from it rather than plunging ahead. That’s all there is to it just working away, perhaps harder than you’ve ever worked before, all the time increasing my “web estate”, increasing my chances in a non-linear way, all the time learning new tricks, understanding SEO a little better, learning to write a better more interesting blog .  I know that’s what I have to do but it’s not easy. Oh by the way heres that website with just 8 visits squidoo.com/morland-pub-signs which earned an affiliate commission from eBay for selling a clock!

My experience is that it is good to know how SEO works but that trying to optimise your website doesn’t work. The best advise is to create quality content and to build links to your website. Google works best with quality content and Yahoo likes links.
