I think everybody's goal in business is to simply...stay in business. And build that business into something that makes a great profit for years to come.

Although so many businesses large and small are started every year, over 90% of businesses fail. Why is that?

Here are 3 proven business success tips that will give you a great chance for massive success in the long term.

1) Make a definitive decision to succeed. What else can be said about this business success tip? You need to decide that losing isn't an option. I recall listening to my high school history teacher talk about how the Vikings prepared for war. They prepared with that no lose option.

These ultimate warriors would come to war with a no lose mentality. Before taking the offensive, they would burn every single boat they arrived with. This would seal their resolve to either conquer or die....simple as that. They left themselves with no other options.

So how does that relate to your business? If you thought like the Vikings of old, do you think you could succeed in your business? I would have to say...YES...to that mindset.

It's extremely vital that you know where you want to go. If you have a clear vision of your outcome...then all you have to do is set your goals in a backwards fashion. You will then have the steps needed to progress in your business.

It's critical you do something...this business success tip can't be neglected. Take the needed action and keep doing. Don't get caught waiting for things to happen.

2) Be actively compiling a database of customers. Of all the business success tips, this can't be overlooked. This list will no doubt become your number one asset. If you want long-term success in your business, take this as seriously as breathing. Never stop building your list...never!!

Your customer database will be your best asset in your business. You have the power to literally generate profits year in and year out with a loyal customer list. Selling your products and also those of other companies that closely relate to yours. Just be certain other companies products aren't competing with yours. Use this business success tip and see your business succeed for the long-term.

A business success tip of doing the work once and get paid over and over from that effort. This is the kind of result I'm looking for in my business.

If you want to know what it takes to compile a large, responsive customer list... go to listbuilding.com. Tellman Knudsen practices what he preaches and knows all the ins-outs of list building.

3) Track and evaluate your business. The final one of the successful business tips is to track. Any successful business tracks everything...They know exactly what results they are going to get because of this business success tip. By knowing the real scoop on what's working or not.....you can add or eliminate what's working and not working and cut out losses that could eventually put you right out of business.

So to conclude, take these business success tip to heart. If you do them and act like the Vikings in approaching your business, you will succeed and be so glad you did.

Two Simple Steps To Improve Search Rank

This article talks about various ranking strategies. I've begun taking advantage of these methods while writing an article for a dieting piece entitled "American Heart Association Diet Plan Online", as well as another in the real-estate niche "How Does Foreclosure Work".

Of the various SEO techniques, I have learned that two are the most prominent. So what have I learned? Perhaps too much to tell, but to condense what I have learned, there are two basic techniques to growing back links to your website to increase the site's rank on the primary search engines. The first phase is to find and secure organic back links with anchor text from the billions of sites that are in the world. The second method is to create your very own sites that you control and place your back links onto those sites that link back to your own. Both methods can be performed legitimately, or through less scrupulous methods, but combining both methods together is a great way to propel your site's ranking to the top.

The first method is pretty straight forward and self explanatory, so let us instead focus on how to use the second approach. The second method is what I want to talk about because we are talking about establishing good page rank links back to your website from other websites that you manage. What are the steps to get started? I have developed the list below to help get you started:

1) You would be surprised how high social networks rank. Strangely enough, pageflakes and not so weirdly facebook rank very well on search engines as does Linked In links. Use online social networks to establish some authoritative links back to your site as well as increase your online footprint.

2) Take a look at Hub Pages, Squidoo, and even Tumblr: Use these sites to get some basic and relative back links. These sites rank relatively well and by using them, you can get a great deal of authority with very little effort.

3) For more advanced web surfers, there is always the option of creating a directory or forum. There is a lot of software available in the open source area that you may use to develop unique websites that focus to your area of specialization or your region. Create them and sponsor them from your home page with anchor links.

4) Blogging tools. I understand that blogging takes a commitment, but as a Google product, Blogger has a very high page rank; which means any links from a blogger site will have a high weight. Develop numerous blogs, (don't link them together) and add back links with anchor text to your focus website. Recruit guest bloggers or pay per article ghost writers to create content. There are software programs out there that will actually scrape content from other sites, but these will get you banned from blogger. Unique original and legitimate content is best.

By taking this approach, you can increase your online presence and increase traffic to your site. Use the free blogging and website tools that are available online to create links and drive traffic to your website. I know that time is valuable and what I have reviewed above may initially take a lot of time, but the real estate market is becoming extremely cutthroat and your success may ultimately rely on how many people can find you online.
