Home Business Exposure on Yahoo!
Copyright 2005 Ron LeBlanc
Everyone who has ever been on the internet has heard of Yahoo!
If you haven't, then quit reading and go visit now. Yahoo is
such a popular site that my website ranking toolbar from Alexa
shows a number "1" under website ranking...that's popular. So it
would probably be a good idea to get some exposure on Yahoo! for
your home business.
Here is a great way to get in at the beginning of a trend. If
you've never heard of a podcast, then you should definitely get
up to speed on what they are. In brief, they are archived audio
files usually in mp3 format that you can download into your
player such as an iPod. Hosting those files is called
podcasting. People can listen to you whenever it is convenient
for them.
Podcasting is in its infancy as of late 2005. Yes, there are a
lot of podcasts, but users are very few compared to the total
number of internet and iPod users. So how does Yahoo! fit in?
Well, one of the things about podcasts is that they have usually
been hard to find or search for. None of the major search
engines had done much with them as of this writing.
Enter Yahoo! You can now go to podcasts.yahoo.com and search for
whatever you want. Many of the podcasts are vocal in nature such
as instruction or the old
teaching tapes. Here is your
opportunity - home business is a very frequently searched topic
on any search engine, so it is only a matter of time until it is
frequently searched on the Yahoo! podcast site as well. You can
get traffic to your site by making your own podcasts and
submitting them to a site that Yahoo! searches such as iPodder.
There probably won't be an incredible amount of competition for
your home business for some time. Meanwhile, you have the
opportunity to be a step ahead and be seen as an expert. You
will be an expert by the time everyone else figures out that
they should get into podcasting too. There is a great article on
how to get started in podcasting at the website
MCPromotionsPress.com
This time in podcasting is like the times in the mid 90's when
you could easily get great search engine ranking with just a
little effort. Your home business can get some great exposure -
Don't miss the ride!
