If your sales pages hope to cash in on international sales, you can't afford to overlook the universal language of pictures.

Pictures and people are inextricably linked. Where there are human beings, there are pictures. From the prehistoric caves at Lascaux to the subway walls of New York, man leaves his mark by making pictures.

There's no mystery in that. Pictures are, after all, our first language. As babies, we understand the picture of the apple long before we can read or recite "A is for Apple."

Pictures precede language in our development, and supercede language in our adult communications. You may speak only English and the fellow next to you may speak only Hindi, but you can agree on having hamburgers for lunch simply by pointing to pictures on the menu board.

That's why pictures are so important when it comes to internet sales. When you post a sales page to the internet, you're inviting people of diverse cultures and communities to consider buying your product.

With people from Kansas to Karachi tuning in, text becomes more of a challenge. Pictures, on the other hand, whether they're delivered in graphic images or in video, quickly convey complex messages, delivering both emotional and informational messages with ease.

Hollywood knows this. Because international sales now account for a large percentage of profits for American-made movies, we're seeing a proliferation of films that contain little dialogue but a lot of action. Why? Because the man in Kansas and the man in Karachi may not share a language, but they do share an appreciation for seeing a truck explode.

You can translate this into your own business by giving careful consideration to the addition of images in your internet sales pages. Well-designed graphs and pie charts can convey complex information without tripping over language barriers. And picture of happy people buying and using your product can have tremendous emotional impact whether or not the language in your text is understood.

When you're speaking to the world, remember that pictures are the universal language.

<![CDATA[There is a lot of information about search engine optimization (seo) going around online and not everything what people tell you is true. There are e-book authors out there who tell their readers not to include any meta tags in their websites. They say that search engines don't read the meta tags these days. Do not believe these things read this article to get a real picture about seo.

The right keywords

Before you can start with search engine optimization, you need to know for what keyword you are going to optimize your website. Finding the right keywords is the first step to take and also the most important one. If you choose the wrong keywords, then you will have a hard time getting into the top 10 search results. You need to find keywords with very low competition so that you can reach a top 10 position even with little back-links.

When you are searching for the right keywords make sure they have less than 100.000 competing websites on google. You can get this number by doing a simple search on google. With the results they also show the number of results. The lower the number, the better for you to get a top 10 ranking. The figure you need to care about is the number of monthly searches for your keywords. Make sure you use keywords that people are actually searching for. You can use several tools to get the number of monthly searches, for example the overture tool or the wordtracker tool.

Onpage Optimization

Nobody knows the algorithm of the google search engine, so nobody can tell you for sure how exactly your website has to look like. Only through a lot of testing and tracking you can get a hint on what you need to change on your website to get a better ranking. There are still some basic things that you want to look at:

- The Website Title (in the header section of your html source code) should have your keyword included. It should not be longer than 10 words.
- The Meta Description is used to display the search results, even at google. That's why a good meta description is very important!
- The Meta Keywords are not that important but you should make sure that your keywords are included. Don't include keywords that can not be found in your body text and do not practice any keyword stuffing methods.
- The Body Text. Google doesn't look much at your keyword density but they look if your keyword is included. That means use your keywords throughout the text where it makes sense but don't worry about having a 1% or 3% keyword density.
- The H1,H2,H3 tags. Search engines love structured documents, so they also love the headline tags. Use your keywords in the h1,h2 and h3 tags but don't do any keyword stuffing.
- Image alt tags are very important if you do not have much text on your website but can also help to increase your ranking if you have much text. Use keywords in the alt tags but again do not use them too often.

These are the most important on-page factors to look at. Of course you need to have a valid html code and a good link-structure but the above points are major important and can boost your ranking when done right. Always remember that you can only get a top 10 ranking by also doing off-page optimization.

Off-Page Optimization

A lot can be done wrong when doing offpage optimization. Google had a major update on his algorithm at the beginning of 2007. Did you remember the google bombs that used to make pages rank for not relevant search terms? Doesn't work anymore since that update! They have also updated their spam detector, a lot of peoples websites dropped in the search results because they used paid advertisements at certain traffic portals and other grey-hat methods. The way to go nowadays is called "natural link building". This means you create links over a very long time period using different methods. If you submit to directories, then submit to 10 directories every day over a period of 100 days. This way it seems as if your links were build naturally by other people.

There are many ways you can get back-links to your website in a natural way. You can:

- provide good content and people will link to you without any effort on your part. This is the most natural and most effective way of link building!
- write articles and distribute them to many different article directories. Your articles get picked up by other people who publish your article at their website with a back-link to your website. This way of building back-links is still very natural and can't be detected by search engines. In the worst case they would not count the links in the article directories or only count them once because of duplicate content.
- do 3-way link exchanges. This means you have 2 different websites on 2 different servers with 2 different ip's. You exchange links with other websites by placing their link on your first website and then place the link of your second website on their website. This way you get 1-way links to your second website.

Avoid things like guest-book spamming, ffa sites, link-farms and websites with more than 100 links on the page where your link will be. Finally work on building links every day over a period of at least 100 days. This way you ensure a continues growth of your link-popularity.

<![CDATA[Article marketing is an important component of external SEO, or search engine optimization. Irrespective of how much internal SEO is carried out on a web page, article marketing can make a massive difference, not only to the traffic to your site, but also your link density and search engine listing.

The term ‘web page’ is used deliberately, since most search engines list individual pages and the Google PageRank applies to web pages rather than domains, or complete ‘web sites’. Each page has to be optimized separately, and you can use article marketing to achieve that.

This is done by means of your ‘resource box’ that some people called your ‘bio’. Most article directories allow you to say a little about yourself and provide one or two URLs. This separate area can come in three different forms: either a separate resource box, that is generally included at the bottom of the article, a separate paragraph that you are allowed to add to the bottom of the article, or an author’s ‘bio’ that can be read if the reader clicks on your name that is an active link to the bio.

If none of these are allowed, then you are advised to give the directory a miss, since the whole purpose of article marketing has nothing to do with giving away free information, but with trying to persuade readers to click on your links and visit your site, and also have your link visible on the directory to provide you with a link back to your website, and so add to your page rank votes. The higher your page rank, the more relevant the search engines will calculate your page to be.

Even the third type of link mentioned above is not really acceptable to most article marketers, since the best place for a link is at the end of the article when the reader is still in a state of anticipation of more information. For this to occur your article has to provide good information about the subject but not so much that the reader requires no further information and has therefore no need to click to visit your website for more.

The wording of your resource box is also very important and there are a number of possibilities according to the type of article and the purpose of your website. You can simply state that ‘More information on - - - - - can be found at xxxxx.com’. On the other hand, it is often better to say a bit more such as ‘Peter has a vast knowledge of this subject and uses it to get quick listing on Google and Yahoo. Find our how he does it on yyyyy.com’.

Use your imagination and you can increase the return of each of your articles in terms of clicks straight to your site or, if your article is good enough, the reader might even want to copy it as content on their own website, and this provides you with more back links. If you combine this with good on-site SEO and other methods of off-site search engine optimization, then article marketing can be a very powerful tool that can be used not only to attract direct clicks to your site but also to create valuable links back to selected pages on your website.
