The Different Types of Membership Sites
There are membership sites and then thee are membership sites. There is an old saying that nobody knows exactly where it originated that says, “Different Strokes for Different Folks”. The old saying simply means that as individuals we have different needs and different expectations for most situations in life and membership websites aren’t an exception.
That principle applies to both plr membership website owners and membership website members. There are many different kinds of membership websites. Some will appeal to some people and others will appeal to other people no matter which side of the fence you are standing on. There really isn’t a one-size-fits-all membership website. Let’s discuss the various options for membership websites.
Web 2.0 Websites
One type of membership website that you are very likely familiar with is the Web 2.0 sites like YouTube and MySpace. These are social networking sites that provide tools for an interactive network of friends and include such user-submitted things as personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos.
Some of these social networking membership websites have come under fire recently because they have been shown to be play grounds for predators. Since these problems have arisen there is more scrutiny of members than there has been in the past. These sites are not likely to just ‘go away’ any time in the foreseeable future because they are very, very popular… not to mention profitable.
Playing on Exclusivity
Then there are paid exclusive sites like Membership Dominators, Golf sites (which are owned by professional golfers and offer instruction that isn’t readily available free on the Internet), etc.
These exclusive membership websites are designed for specific people and appeal to a group of like-minded individuals who are seeking instruction or information that can only be had on exclusive membership websites.
They call the Internet the ‘information super highway’ but these exclusive membership websites really do make the information super and the information that is provided is far superior to just the regular stuff that everybody gets for free.

What is Social Networking
Social networking sites are the future of Internet marketing. The good news is that the opportunities for laser-targeted advertising are becoming a reality. Want to target 18-24 year old college graduate women who are engaged? Well, you can…in Facebook. The bad news is that, with this added power, comes much added complexity.
The traditional way of paying for clicks and optimizing links etc. for search engine optimization will not work in a world where the users generate the content…and decide amongst themselves what is popular and what is not. Internet marketers will have to become much more savvy to take advantage of this kind of opportunity. More good news is that there is still time to get an early adopter advantage in this space. It’s almost impossible to dislodge that web site that’s 8 or 9 years old from the number one spot in Google (I don’t care what anyone says they can do for thousands of dollars!) search engine listings, but…in this new arena…you could be that “old” site.

What is Internet Marketing
Internet marketing is carrying out certain activities and do such things that generate sales and/or capture leads from potential customers that are surfing the Internet.
This means getting your website to rank in Google, Yahoo MSN, article directories, blog directories, RSS Feeds, Social Networks, and other search related sites so that it shows up when a potential customer of yours types in a “keyword phrase” that relates to your business.
This is something of a mysterious art these days and is a constantly changing playing field. As each year passes there is a greater need to hire specialists and consultants that work purely in this arena, in order for companies to be able to get their sites on the first page of Google’s search engine results for the keywords that everyone thinks will generate sales and leads. This service is called SEO or search engine optimization , or to arrange for their staff to participate in focused training seminars, or one on one training, to gain the necessary skills to do this work in-house
Internet marketing has grown to include pay per click advertising. Ads that are postioned within the results pages of search engines (when you do a Google search, they show up on the right hand side of the page) that are written by advertisers to be triggered when certain keywords or phrases are searched on. Each time a person clicks on the ad, they are sent to the advertiser’s website, and the advertiser is charged for that “click”. This is how Google makes billions of dollars.
The future of Internet marketing will be the social networking sites like Facebook. Here, the most efficient advertising will be “viral” and more “virtual word of mouth”. This is much more complex than search engine optimization and pay per click advertising, but has the potential to be much more profitable!
