NMEX is the best choice for your Internet Marketing Base
NMEX is an excellent platform to host your primary or secondary websites, but more important you should have a presence on NMEX as your base for internet and affiliate marketing activities, even if you host your primary and secondary websites elsewhere on the Internet or on social media. Internet Marketing is the most important factor in modern global marketing campaigns. Once you establish a primary and secondary website somewhere on the Internet you must still establish an ongoing and consistent Internet marketing campaign and presence to promote your products and services. NMEX allows you to host both your primary and secondary websites, and your Internet marketing base all on one platform.

If you are trying to sell, market or promote anything over the Internet you must utilize the Seven (7) Priorities of Internet Marketing to be successful.

These Seven (7) Priorities of Internet Marketing based on their relative levels of importance are as follows:

Internet Marketing Priority
1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of Content
2. Targeted Email Marketing (TEM)
3. Data Mining & Auto Posting (DMAP)
4. Content Affiliate Marketing (CAM)
5. Product Affiliate Marketing (PAM)
6. Paid Advertising (PA)
7. Social Media Networking (SMN)

The first step in implementing these priorities is having an Internet site, presence and marketable content which is SEO and Internet Marketing Primed and globally competitive.

NMEX based sites are unique and different from non-Internet Primed Marketing Sites because of the following major attributes: 

1. All NMEX sites are Internet Marketing Automation Primed (IMAP) - Internet Marketing Automation utilizes processes which allow promotion and marketing of material in an automated fashion, reducing time and effort in marketing campaigns.
2. NMEX Sites are primed for hosting your Primary Domain Name - While you may not have the resources, expertise and time to build and maintain a globally competitive Internet Marketing Automation Primed (IMAP) website for your Primary Domain Name (e.g. www.nationalmarketreport.com), you will be able to direct your Primary Domain Name to your NMEX based and hosted website (e.g. www.nationalmex.com/report) and receive all of the benefits of a fully domained website with NMEX Internet Marketing Automation Primed (IMAP) capabilities.
3. NMEX Sites are easily structured and Search Engine Optimized (SEO) - Full (Primary) Market and After (Secondary) Market Search Engine Optimization of sites and content is the top priority of professional Internet Marketers because it utilizes organic search processes to passively bring traffic to the site and content.
4. They are fully integrated into a marketplace environment designed with integrated marketing tools and services - The NMEX Platform is an integrated marketplace which contains many tools and services to assist registrants in marketing, promoting and selling their products, services and NMEX website.
5. They are Data Capture Ready (DCR) - Data Capture and Mining is one of the top priorities of Internet Marketing Experts. All content pages on NMEX are designed to easily capture visitor contact information, preferences and interests.
6. They are Image Opportunized, FotoOpps capable - Pictures are worth a thousand words, Videos a thousand pictures, NMEX sites are opportunized to utilize images to assist in marketing campaigns. A special NMEX program called FotoOpps further assists in utilizing images to affiliate market NMEX based products and services.
7. They are Content Marketing Ready - Relevant and Interesting Content is the hallmark of modern Internet Marketing in the highly competitive Internet marketing environment. NMEX Sites have numerous ways to display and layout content, and afford sophisticated organization of content in various formats which is essential for proper Internet Marketing and SEO efforts.
8. They are Affiliate Marketing Optimized - Affiliate Marketing is the hidden gem in Internet Marketing and Sales. Experts and various studies reveal that a fast increasing percentage of all Internet sales are now accomplished through one or more Affiliate Marketing processes. An increasing cadre of talented independent Affiliate Marketers are constantly setting the standards in Internet Marketing. All studies show that Internet Marketing is currently the most important way to sell products and services either directly or indirectly, but now increasingly accomplished through Affiliate Internet Marketing. All NMEX sites, tools, and services are optimized for Affiliate Marketing.
9. They are Community & Social Media capable - The NMEX Platform is built with a combination of unique state of the art Content Management Systems (CMS), and Community/Social Media Technology which allows non technical, non coding users to build and update their NMEX website and content. It also provides for a significant amount of interactivity between registered users, site visitors, and other Community and Social Media platforms and sites. This interactivity and ability for users to easily post information, images and even build and customize their own websites without coding and technical expertise is a most important factor in keeping NMEX websites relevant and constantly updated. This capability also significantly reduces the need for expensive professional Information Technology (IT) assistance and the associated costs of operations.
10. NMEX provides compartmentalized operations for Users and Registrants in any field or industry - While NMEX is a comprehensive platform which provides sophisticated integrated tools and services for the general development of any business effort, the platform can be utilized with a compartmentalized approach, keeping each site and business essentially distinct from others at the Users discretion. Users therefore need not concern themselves with the broader purpose and functions of the total Platform, and instead primarily focus on their own niche and industry within the Business Development Exchange.
11. NMEX Sites are Userpoints (Nupits) enabled - Registered Users on NMEX automatically accumulate Userpoints (Nupits) for productive utilization of their Sites, based on a special algorithm. Nupits can be beneficially utilized in many ways. They can be used to redeem awards, or as a type of Exchange based currency to negotiate and pay for Nupit enabled transactions on the exchange. This is a powerful feature of NMEX Sites which significantly adds to the business development and marketing efforts of NMEX Registered Entities.
12. NMEX Sites are free and easy to build and maintain - The combination of tools, services and marketing expertise available on NMEX are completely free with no need to upgrade to a subscription level for most Registrants. This is basically unmatched elsewhere, and a most important benefit in reducing the tremendous costs and need for professional services in developing a business in the highly competitive modern global business environment. 

These factors make NMEX platform based websites significantly different from most if not all Internet based marketing platform sites, and particularly very different from the many primarily Social Media based platforms and sites.

Similar to their counterparts on a stock exchange NMEX MarketMakers assist their clientele in making a market for their product or service on a National Market Business Development Exchange.

Marketmakers are important because they make a market for their clients' products and services, and facilitate the development of companies and producers.

NMEX MarketMakers are experts at structuring marketing campaigns and utilizing the Marketing Automation and Integrated Tools & Services available on the NMEX Platform to properly promote and market products and services.

MarketMakers operate independently of NMEX, except that they are specially subscribed to NMEX in order to utilize its platform in the representation of their clients' interests. They assist companies and producers who may need to outsource their marketing activities and who would like to use the marketing automation and integrated tools and services of NMEX.

Properly SEO'd and Market Primed sites and content allow searchers to see and find you at the time they are most interested in what you may have to promote or sell when they conduct their search. It avoids your having to conduct an active campaign to recruit and convince them to visit you. Also, it is therefore less obtrusive than all the other Internet marketing processes which require you to actively find and contact your prospective contacts, which in today's saturated modern marketing environment is a major hurdle to overcome in order to be effective. Such active campaigns often interrupt and irritate viewers, particularly if you are repeatedly pitching products to the same audience as in typical social media networking and marketing.

The power of the NMEX platform is that it allows the sites and content within the platform to be easily and flexibly SEO'd unlike most other platforms, and particularly those of the popular Social Media Sites which are almost impossible to independently SEO in any effective form. The inability to effectively and independently SEO sites and content on such platforms is a major reason they are not used by professional Internet marketers to hold their primary content.

Internet Marketing Priority
1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of Content
2. Targeted Email Marketing (TEM)
3. Data Mining & Auto Posting (DMAP)
4. Content Affiliate Marketing (CAM)
5. Product Affiliate Marketing (PAM)
6. Paid Advertising (PA)
7. Social Media Networking (SMN)

The steps to effective SEO and Content Market Priming are covered in detail by several Videos in the Video section of this center.

Generally the following steps should be implemented:

1. It is extremely important that your profile page and any PinBoard used as the main page of your NMEX website or Content be properly SEOed. Your Profile description should be filled near the top of the description with the proper Long Tail Keywords related to your Site. You should use the Blog section to place your major articles and content. You may also use the Page section for content. The profile page should include the Latest Blog widget and Page widget so that there is a display of a list of your Blogs and Content directly on the Profile Page. The entire NMEX platform is effectively SEO'd through proprietary processes to make NMEX an Authoritative and Relevant Site for the various Search Engines. This process is continuously updated to keep current with changing SEO alogrithms. This is an important step in affording individual sites and content on the Platform with powerful general SEO coverage.
2. Ensure that the content to be SEO'd is unique, of high quality, and tied directly to important Googleized keywords and phrases as possible. Typically well written content of more than 300 words, with well described and attached photos and videos enhances this process. In establishing the appropriate keywords, phrases, authorities, and competition Google Keyword Planner has become the standard tool to utilize, along with Google Trends and others. This process is covered in detail in the Video section
3. Whenever budgets allow, appropriate domain urls should be purchased/obtained and pointed to your particular site and/or content on NMEX. This process is covered in detail in the Video section.
4. Blacklinks on Authority sites should be established. This process is covered in detail in the Video section
5. SEO on the Internet is effectively controlled by Google based practices, therefore the most important general Social Media Network to spend time and attention on for SEO purposes is utilization of your Google Plus account and its Authorship and Webmaster Tools provisions. Whenever possible, linkages should be routed through your Google Plus account to your website and content. SEO for secondary search purposes by sharing content on social media platforms with the automated NMEX sharing tools will facilitate search listings on these platforms.
6. Use of some third party SEO tools and software can sometimes be helpful.

Ultimately your affiliate and Internet marketing efforts will essentially consist of three (3) steps. First, creating a Point of Sale (POS) site, usually by using the NMEX market and/or voucher facility, then creating some type of Capture Content (CC) with a NMEX pinboard, blog, page, news item, map, or photo album, and finally conducting your Active Marketing Outreach (AMO) program and activities to bring internet traffic and potential buyers to your Capture Content and/or Point of Sale sites.

Marketing Integration & Automation (I&A) Tools & Strategies
To assist Registered Entities and Business Development Clients in implementing marketing programs and priorities NMEX provides sophisticated state of the art Marketing Integration & Automation (I&A) Tools & Strategies through its specially designed I&A marketing platform and online hub.

Lesson Transcription:

Today I want to answer another one of those questions that I’ve been asked over and over for the last 15 years… “What is the absolute, hands-down best website traffic sources?”

This is a common question from people who have just put up their website and are starting to drive traffic.

Of course, the really important question is:

“What is the best source of buyers?”

Because traffic is useless if no one is buying!

I have a couple of different answers to this question.

Best Website Traffic Sources – Your In-House Email List

Now, I understand that you need traffic in order to build a list, but the fact is that an email list that you have a strong relationship with is your BEST source of buyers.

At the flick of a switch, you can send out an offer to a solid source of buyers and make sales.

Of course, this is assuming that you have been marketing responsibly and creating a strong relationship with your list!

This is why I always emphasize to people that you have to build your list.

Remember…

The money is in the list!

Best Website Traffic Sources – Affiliates

If you have a brand new business and haven’t built a list yet, you need other sources of traffic.

After an in-house list, affiliates provide the next highest converting source of traffic.

Getting affiliate traffic means using a sites like

• Clickbank
• Commission Junction
• Share a Sale

…and leveraging the traffic that these sites get for your own site.

Of course, you can also build your own affiliate program using 1Shopping Cart, Infusionsoft or any of the other ecommerce systems  which have affiliate technology built in. You would then go out and find affiliates who will recommend and endorse your product.

The reason that this is such a high converting source of traffic is because these are people coming to your site have been partially or completely pre-sold by the referring site.

The right affiliates who have strong relationships with their list and audience can send a ton of qualified traffic to your website.

Affiliate marketing does have a downside though – consistency.

There are two reasons that consistency is a problem with affiliate marketing as a primary website traffic source.

When you get a new affiliate, they’ll generally write a blog post or send an email that directs their readers to your site and you’ll get a bunch of traffic and sales.

Your affiliate might even make your product a regular feature, but the fact of the matter is that each affiliate you get can bring a spike in traffic but it won’t be a consistent flow of website traffic.

The second reason the traffic is inconsistent is because affiliates tend to be most loyal to the product that has the highest conversion and pays the highest commission.

This means that an affiliate who’s sending a lot of website traffic your way can suddenly get a better offer from a competitor and you’re left hanging.

So although affiliate traffic is one of the best website traffic sources giving you high converting buyers, it’s not a good long-term source of consistent traffic.

This is why I recommend that people who are just starting out also pay attention to my third choice…

Best Website Traffic Sources – Search Engines

There are a couple of different strategies to use with search engine traffic – organic and paid.

Organic Search Engine Traffic

If done properly, organic search engine traffic is by far the most consistent and the highest converting source of website traffic.

Someone coming to your site from an organic search listing in Google is going to convert as high as 7 times higher than someone coming from an equivalent paid ad.

So if I have a keyword such as “Internet marketing training” and I rank in the number 1 or 2 spot organically and I also have a pay-per-click (Adwords) ad, the people who find me organically are 7 times more likely to buy than the ones who click through the paid ad.

There are lots of theories as to why this is true, but the one that makes the most sense to me is because people are sophisticated enough to know that you can’t pay to be ranked organically.

So if Google has you listed in the top spot for your keyword, Google is basically endorsing your product!

That is hugely powerful and makes the organic search engines (primarily Google) a great source of qualified buyers.

Of course, when we talk about search engine marketing, we’re basically talking about Google because it’s by far the biggest source of search traffic.

So, getting ranked organically for your keyword will get you: 

• The most consistent website traffic source
• The highest converting source of website traffic 

Website Traffic Sources Summary

In summary, your list is your highest converting source of buyers but you need traffic sources such as affiliate marketing and search engine marketing to build that list.

Affiliate marketing is awesome for its high conversion rate, but inconsistent and tricky for building your business.

Organic search engine marketing can drive you the most predictable, consistent source of qualified buyers.

And really, even your affiliate marketing is driving traffic that originated from the search engines in many cases anyway!

Beyond those three sources, there are other options for driving traffic such as blog posts and forums, but they typically can’t match the website traffic generation potential of the source listed above.

You might be wondering where social media fits in to all of this.

Frankly, it doesn’t make my top 3 right now because as far as conversion goes from social media, my experience (and that of many marketers out there) is that social media at this point in time does not convert anywhere near as well as the three options I’ve given you… at least not right away but I will save that discussion for another day.

So there ya go. My favorite website traffic sources.

Hope you learned something!
