” I am convinced that everything comes to us from the banks of the Ganges ” said Voltaire. ” Astronony, Astrology, Metempsychosis etc “
The first astronomical and mathematical treatise, the Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta, was translated by the Arabs as As Sind Hind. Later the works of the astronomer-mathematician, Aryabhata, was translated as Al Arjabhat. The Arabs gained insight into Maths and Astronomy, after these treatises were known to them.
The Calculation of the Longitudes of the planets was done by Aryabhata ( Aryabhato Graha Ganitham ). The trignometric functions, Sin was called by him as Bhuja Jya, Cos as Koti Jya and Tan Sparsa Jya. Asin was Bhuaja chapa, Acos was Koti chapa and Atan was Sparas Chapa.
It was these astronomers who first computed the Zodiac, long before Flamsteed. By Jya they meant 5 degrees of a Circle.
The first 90 degrees of the Zodiac, the Circle of the Heavens eight degree away from the Ecliptic was Oja, Odd and the degrees traversed by a planet was Bhuja, the traversed degree. The rest was Koti, the untraversed degree. The 90 to 180 degrees belt was Yugma, Even and the traversed degree of the planet was Koti. ( oja yatra gunaira kotir apara meshdi jookadhikau )
The Northern Celestial Hemisphere stretches from Aries to Libra and the Southern from Libra to Aries. ( Gola Uthara Dakshinau Nigadhidhou ).
The Rev Ebenezor Burgess opined that early Indians were the pioneers and teachers of Astronomy. Indian Astronomy was lauded by the Western astronomers.
Metempsychosis or the Doctrine of Reincarnation was adopted by the Greek philosophers Plato and Philo. The East India Company took this doctrine from India and from this doctrine Dr Erasmus Darwin and his grandson Charles Darwin developed the Law of Evolution, that Life originated from the sea and that our primordial ancestors were aquatic ! This was symbolically depicted in Vedic Symbolism as the first Incarnation as Fish ( origination from the sea ) and the last Incarnation as Buddha ( the Enlightened Self Actualised Sage ) !
The great Gnostics, Hegel and the Rishies, defined Freedom as the Goal of life. The world was the progress of Divine ( Matter, Energy, Being Universal ), through the intellectual evolution of Man. Man attains Freedom, when he realizes that he is God. Man in perfection himself is God !
You have to get into the Web 2.0 bandwagon and invest time in implementing your marketing strategies. Sites, blogs, feeds all have to be submitted to the search engines and socially bookmarked..
Blogging is one of the best methods of Social Network Marketing. Social Bookmarking is another. You can get immense traffic due to Social Bookmarking. I get 1000 hits a day for my blog http://www.eastrovedica.net from Social Bookmarking. I submit to Digg, del.icio.us, Multiply, Faves, Spurl, Furl, Myspace etc and my submission do bring in a lot of traffic. I do own a Social Bookmarking site, www.eastrovedica.info, which also gives me good traffic.
For Social Bookmarking, building a Great Profile is a must.
All users are not equal and it is time to build a great profile. If you are well known as a user who has submitted tons of interesting stories, then highly probable are the chances that what you submit will be noticed. You should not only bookmark your articles on your site or blog, but links to other interesting articles on other sites. This shows that you are a lover of information. If you bookmark only your articles, it implies that you are indulging in self promotion. If you post other links, that shows you are well informed and wants to point out quality information to the international community.
Link with other social bookmarkers
You cannot do it alone. You have to have links with other social bookmarkers. If your friends vote for you, the probability is more than other will also vote for you. The votes from your supporters may act as a catalyst in getting more votes and your story will be very popular on Digg, delicious etc
Submit new news
Dont submit old news, which have become obsolete. You have to understand that yesterday was a dream and that yesterday’s news was part of history.
Give accurate facts
If your story doesnt contain accurate facts, you are in for trouble. Your readers will find out if there are any inaccurate details in your story and the votes which you will get will be negative.
You have to understand the it is quality content which attracts all. If you provide proper quality information, people will vist your sites and blogs. If your article is topclass, that article will definitely attract traffic. You have to submit the url to search engines and socially bookmark the article for maximum exposure.
Squdoo lenses are like blogs. You can create a lens at www.squidoo.com . Any number of lenses can be created at Squidoo. It is more or less similar to Blogger, where you can create any number of blogs. You get paid by Blogger for the Adsense ads ( or any ads ) which you exhibit on the blog.

How do we get traffic? The answer is elementary, Article Marketing !
You can write articles on your favourite subjects. It is interest that generates knowledge. You can give the hyperlik of the lens in the Resource box like this

Viral Marketing means to give away ebooks and e-articles freely so that it spreads like a virus exponentially. In the ebooks and e-articles, we give links to our site and a short bio or resource box declaring who we are.
It is also known as the Pull Strategy of Marketing. The Resource box at the bottom contains the link to our site. Provided the article is good, the reader of that article clicks on our site address and comes to our site. We have, in other words, pulled him/her to our site via our article. We also provide our email address. The reader can click and contact us at any time.
The article proclaims that we know the subject and we will be considered experts in our field if we write good e-articles and e-books and distribute them. Some people find it difficult to distribute them freely. After all creating an e-article or an ebook is time consuming. So what is the advantage in distributing them free? But if you want the much needed exposure which is crucial to business success, better give it away!
” Be an expert with your own booklet ” is what the marketing geniuses proclaim. If you write a booklet about the subject you are dealing using technical terms, people will definitely ask you about the terms and the subject in general. Answer their questions and they will respect your knowledge and expertise.
Write Articles
The mantra on the Net is ‘Publish or Perish’. The Net is defined as the Information Encyclopaedia. It is a repository of free information and resources.
You can write on the subject which deals with your area of expertise. The main ingredients of content creation are Research, knowledge, skill and style.
Research
Read books on the subject. You can go to search engines and type the subject that deals with your area of expertise. You can subscribe to other ezines which deal with that subject. And thus study more about the subject.
All information is available on the Net. All you have to do is to go to the search engines and group lists and find out information about your subject.
Knowledge
You have heard the proverb ” Knowledge is Power”. There are many types of knowledge. Technical knowledge, marketing knowledge, knowledge of language etc. We have to be accepted by the target audience. For this we should convince our customers that we are experts in our field. Be a specialist first, then be an expert and then be an authority, a self-development expert used to say. If you know more than your competitors, definitely you have a competitve edge over your competition. If you can establish that you are a scholar in your field and is head and shoulders above your competition in knowledge, they will come in droves. Why should they go to somebody who is less knowledgeable?
So it is imperative to develop professional knowledge, to study more and more about the subject we are dealing with, even though it is time-consuming. Remember on the Net, there are so many scholars in various fields, each claiming to be experts in their field. On the Web, the competition is fierce and is only a click away. So our chances of survival are bright if only we are equipped with the latest knowledge in our field. The customers are not fools and they will evaluate us as well as our competition.
Skill
Writing skill does not come all of a sudden. Writing is basically intuitively inspired and comes from within. But this creative talent is in all of us. We have not tapped this divine resource fully. If we give ourselves to Meditation and lapse into silence, we can see that this talent blossoms of its own. Age is not a factor for we see Goethe wrote “The Faust” at the age of eighty and Chaucer wrote “The Canterbury Tales” at sixty!
Start by writing whatever you feel about the subject you are handling in your diary. Group these small bits of information. When you assemble these tiny bits of info and arrange them, you will be surprised to know that you have written an article. Improve on what you have written. Let it take some days and after some days of improvisation, you will come to know it has become a great article.
It so happened to me. The first article I wrote was about Astro Numerology and I sent it to some friends. They hailed it as a great article. This was a great boost to my morale. I started an ezine, the Z Files and published my own articles which was well received by the multitude. This furthur boosted my confidence. I then submitted my articles to the ezines which deal with Astrology. The publishers thanked me and published my articles. My hits trebled. Now I have many requests from publishers to use my articles in their Site or Zine.
Style
Every man has a style of talking and a way of writing. We have not written much and that is why we are not aware of our hidden talents. If you start writing simple ideas in your diary and then later expand these ideas, you will be stunned to see that you are an excellent writer. Just imagine what would have happened if Dante had not written the Divine Comedy or Shakespeare had not written his dramatic poems! Where would English Literature be without these gems ?
The pen is mightier than the sword. The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the martyr! Write yourself to glory! Write yourself to fame ! Writing can take you from obscurity to omnipresence!
An infopreneur is defined as one who sells info products. You can sell your info products via the Web, via blogs, sites and lenses !
Article Marketing continues to be the best method for getting exposure and traffic to your sites, blogs and lenses !
Create blogs on Blogger or WordPress. Create as many blogs as possible. Also create lenses on Squidoo. I created 23 blogs on Blogger and 24 lenses on Squidoo.
From your Squidoo lens, give links to your blogs and sites. From my main Squidoo Lens, http://squidoo.com/ZodiacAstrology, I have given links to my main blog, http://zodiacastrology.blogspot.com and to my main site, www.eastrovedica.com Cross Link all blogs, lenses and sites. Give different types of info on blogs. I have a Marketing blog, Astrology blog, Numerology Blog, Gemology Blog etc. So also Numerology, Astrology, Marketing lenses !
One blog post is more or less 200 words. Convert 3 or 4 blog posts into one article. You already got content. All you have to do is to edit it and lo ! you have an article !
After creating an article out of blog posts, you can
Post the article to your Squidoo Page Post the article to your site Email the article to subscription lists Send it to article directories Send it to article submission lists
Immense are the benefits of Article Marketing! The e-article has been defined by Ron Knolton as the ultimate promotional tool and it is this tool which will get you traffic.
If you convert blogs posts into articles, you can have as many as 1000 articles per month. Your articles will give you tremendous exposure, generate leads and get you the much needed traffic for your blogs, lenses and sites !
The Benefits of Article Marketing
1) Lead Generation 2) Increased traffic 3) Increased Rankings ( Alexa traffic rankings, Google Page Rankings, Yahoo Inbound links etc ) 4) Postioning you as an expert
Your articles will appear on the article directories and these articles will get you traffic. My YBL (Yahoo Inbound links) for my main site, www.eastrovedica.com was 1800 last year and in one year of Article Marketing, it has gone upto 18000 YBL, a tenfold increase ! I get around 2000 page views on Google and 4000 on Adbrite !
If you have Adsense ads, Adbrite ads etc on your sites, blogs and lenses, you can benefit from adrevenue. Just get traffic to these blogs, sites and lenses and your adrevenue will go up !
I have created promotional lists, a list of article submission centers, social bookmarking sites and blog submission centers & you can make use of my promotional lists.
Internet Marketing is a tough job. Intellectual Marketing is that Art by whch we use our intellect to generate traffic.
Creating a website or blog is not enough. Your sites and blogs should achieve visibility on the search engines. Then only will people come to your site. Remember a blog or a site without traffic is zero. It is traffic which makes a site great. Yahoo, Google or MSN get tremendous traffic ( above 1 miilion hits a day ) and that is why they are ranked high.
There are many methods of attracting traffic. You have to submit your blogs, feeds, urls, articles etc to the respective directories. Then only will they achieve visibility on the search engines.
Talking and writing about generating traffic is easy. It is difficult to get a lot of traffic. One has to do Intellectual Marketing religiously. I put in 10 hours of Web Marketing every day. Otherwise my blogs and sites will be devoid of traffic !
After you have created your blogs, you have to submit them to the blog directories
Submit Your Blogs
This is blog submission web page I use to submit my 28 blogs
Squidoo is heavily trafficked and I created 27 lenses on Squidoo. Each Squidoo page is a url and they should be submitted to the Search Engines. Once submitted they will be visible on the Search Engines. Once they are visible, you will get traffic to your Squidoo Page.
From your Squidoo page you should give links to your blogs and sites. That way you will get fairly good traffic.
Use Social Bookmarking
To get traffic, you can submit your pages to Social Bookmarking services like Digg, Technorati etc. These social bookmarking sites get around 1 million bookmarks a day. The web or blog page which you bookmark becomes visible and people read and click and lo ! you have got traffic.
I use the Social Bookmarking Button of AddThis ( www.addthis.com ). It submits to over 16 Social Bookmarking Sites.
1) Article Submission to the Article Directories 2) Submitting the Site to the Search Engines 3) Ezine Promotion 4) Ezine Ads 5) Participating in Forums, Blogs, Discussion Lists 6) Signature File 7) Create A Weblog or Blog
These sevenfold strategies can be termed as the Brahman of Web Marketing, ( Brahman being a term for the Ultimate Reality ).
Article Submission
This is known as the Pull Strategy of Viral Marketing.
Write an article, with a resource box which contains your dot com, your mobile no etc. You have to submit it to article directories.
It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword. That statement cannot be truer on the Web, which is a written medium.
If you submit your article to the article directories, readers and publishers ( Webmasters, ezine publishers, ebook publishers ) visit the directories for content & they will download your articles & publish them. You get free publicity & exposure. People click on the hyperlinks and lo ! they have come to your site. This is called Article Marketing, which is another synonym for Viral Marketing.
You can compile your articles into an ebook and give them away. The ebook should contains your site’s hyperlinks. Readers will click on your links & visit your site.
Remember, Traffic is Internet Gold. Without traffic, you cannot succeed. You have to bring people to the site and then only can you market.
Take up the pen, write and submit content to Article Directories. This is the age of the Article Directories and there are more than 500 of them. You can access the Article Directories List at
Writing an article is not difficult. You can get the content from books which deal with the subject. Or you can get content from the search engines. For example, go to Yahoo or Google and type the subject. In my case, the subject is Astrology and when I type Astrology, many astro sites open up. You can get articles on Astrology, study the subject and write about it.
Submitting it to Article Directories is not difficult either. Here is a small list
You can sign up for a Free Account at one Article Directory. They will send you an Activation Link and once you click that, you have become their member and you can submit your articles to that directory. The Admin will approve your articles, content publishers will download your articles and publish them on their ezines or websites ! Your articles should have a byline, a bio or Resource Box, which points to your site. Readers read these articles and click on your website link and you get solid traffic !
Submitting the Site to the Search Engines
This is known as the Push Strategy of Viral Marketing.
This is submitting your url to the search engines. Also your press release to the sites which accept press release.
First url is my main website url. Second one is the free subscription to my Zine. And the third is the blog url.
This is the resource box used when I submitted an ‘Blog Your Way to the Bank’ article to article directories.
Now the Zine publishers and website owners are looking for quality articles. They can get these articles from the article directories. They visit the article directories and download articles of their choice. They publish these articles in their Zines/ Websites.
The readers read these articles and click on these hyperlinks. And what do you get ? Traffic, which is Internet Gold !
Normally you can submit a 3 url resource box. Putting more than 3 urls in the Resource box is risky.
All my 22 blogs have got good traffic. Also my five websites and I attribute all this to Article Marketing. I blog regularly about the subjects I love – cricket, marketing, blogging, philosophy, astrology, gemology, numerology etc. Many come to my office to learn blogging.
I have also monetised by blogs and sites and I get monthly checks from Google & Adbrite, thanks to Article Marketing !
May you increase your blog traffic with Article Marketing
Articles give us tremendous free exposure. This is the secret of Viral Markeing which is Free Advertising. If our article is good, it will be displayed in ezines and websites and the resource box at the end will proclaim who is the author of that article. Many a reader will click on the link to our website and we get phenomenal amount of traffic!
When writing an article, it is the Resource box which pulls people to the site. The Resource box must be well written. I used to write like this
You should give your site’s name & your email address in the resource box. If you have an ezine, you should give the email address for subscribing to your ezine. In the Resource Box, it is better to give a short bio of yourself and your area of expertise. Those who are impressed by your article will definitely subscribe to your ezine as they thirst for more quality information.
Successful marketers never try to sell their products at the first instance. What they try is to get a free subscription to their Ezine! It is their sophisticated approach that sells !
The main principle of Marketing is Never Sell – Influence. It should not look like business. If you write an ad, it should not look like an ad.
Once people subscribe to your ezine via your Resource box, you can give freebies – free reports, free ebooks and free consultancy. They become your loyal customers ! They will refer more people to your site and your business will thrive.
Once the article with the Resource Box is finished, you have to market it to your target audience.
What I used to do is go to the search engines and type in “ezines” which deal with your subject.
Since I started writing articles on Astrology, I used to go to Yahoo, Ebay, Altavista etc and type in Astrology Ezine and search.
This search will give a list of Astrology Ezines. If your subject is Medicine type Medicine ezine and search. Suppose it gives 40 lists. You go to these websites and write down their email addresses. Then you write a covering letter to the Zine Publisher and submit your article to be published by him/her.
I used to write like this:
Dear Zine Publisher,
I came to know about your esteemed Zine from the Net.
I am a writer on Astrology with a website – http://www.eastrovedica.com/ I have written an article on Astrology. Please publish it in your Zine/Site.
It is a win-win situation for both of us as you get good content and I get exposure in return.
Thanks and regards,
G Kumar http://www.eastrovedica.com/ You can also submit your articles to Site Owners. They may display your article on their site. Site Owners are looking for quality content. If you can provide that, they will definitely accept your articles.
After writing articles on the subject, one should group these articles and compile them into an ebook.
After I wrote nine articles on Astronumerology, I compiled them into an Ebook called Astronumerology and distributed it free.
Article Banks Article Banks are considered to be Net Marketing Gold. There are a lot out there and it will be better if you subscribe to them and post your articles regularly. I used to submit my articles to the following lists: WriteitPublish_Announce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com article_announce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Cramp-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I_Need_Content-subscribe@yahoogroups; ArticleReview-subscribe@topica.com WriteitPublish_Announce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; articles_archives-subscribe@yahoogroups.com ArticlePublisher-subscribe@yahoogroups.com clickforcontent-subscribe@topica.com free-content-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; Free-Reprint-Articles-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; Free_eContent-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; freezinecontent-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; FreeWrites-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; free-content-subscribe@topica.com; Free-Reprint_Articles-subscribe@topica.com; free_articles-subscribe@topica.com; freeezinecontent-subscribe@topica.com; netwrite-publish-announce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; publisher_network-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; QC_Reprint_Articles-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; ReadMyArticles-subscribe@yahoogroups.com; ReprintArticles-Paradise-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Free E Book Compiler
To compile an Ebook, you need a compiler and Keebo is a free compiler. We have used it ourselves, but at this price of zero dollars, it’s certainly worth checking out: http://www.keeboo.com/ENU/index.html

I have created several ebooks that have been read by thousands of people all over the Net and this has resulted in massive traffic to my site.
Sheer hard work is imperative along with persistence, perseverance & lots of time to be successful as a marketeer on the Net. Because of the dynamic & ever changing nature of the Web, marketing becomes an everyday job. ” Promote or die” is the slogan. We have to market smarter, not harder.
Ebook publishing is the biggest money spinner on the Net. Many have become millionaires as a result of e-publishing. Rick Beneteau ,Jim Daniels & Monique Harris are some shining examples. So why dont you try this viral method?
In our last article, we have talked about the wisdom of distributing e-articles and e-books. Let us analyse if there are any other marketing tricks which can of considerable use in Web Marketing.
One viral technique is to create a freeware program and distribute it free. In that freeware you should scatter links to your site. This will create a lot of visitors, provided the software is good quality. The fame of your company will spread like wildfire. Provided the software is good, you will get a lot of hits to your site. Word of mouth publicity about your company and your software will spread all over the Net.
Another strategy is to create ” Tell it to a friend “. This simple script can be installed in less than an hour and this facility allows visitors to your site to recommend your site to their friends. Their friends will definitely visit your site as human beings tend to believe their friends.
Another trick is to install greeting cards on your site. All people want to send e-cards to their relatives & friends in order to do so they will visit your site. Each card contains a link to your site which will produce an appreciable amount of traffic. This is one of the most powerful of all viral techniques.
Another technique is to incorporate a free searchengine submission program on the site and advertise that your site has a free submission program. Many site owners will visit your site for free submission. You can advertise the free submission program in your sig file and in your ezine ads. It will look like this
“FREE! Free submission to 10 search engines.Visit www.eastrovedica.com and submit to Altavista, Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay, Looksmart and build incredible traffic at no cost ! ”
Another trick is to hold a contest and advertise that your site is holding a contest. This will bring tremendous traffic on your site as people tend to be drawn to intellectual contests which tests their skill. This is an opportunity for people to pass away their time, test their IQ and MQ & also get some gifts.
Distributing ball-pens with the name of your dotcom imprinted on them helps in spreading the word. You can offer it as a gift to your customers or to people who come to enquire in your shop.
Distributing T-shirts with the name of your dotcom printed on them is another marketing trick. You can kill two birds with one stone. You have given freebies to your potential customers and you have spread the word about your dotcom!
All your offline promotion material should have your url address imprinted on it along with your email address. Business cards should be distributed freely to whomsoever you come into contact. Make it a point to distribute at least 3 business cards in a day. Marketing is the life-blood of business!
In your articles, you can promote not only your products but also your friend’s products. For example, my friend AK Selvraraj has written a book which I promote in my articles on Philosophy. The theme of Self Actualisation is highlighted and an excellent book for achieving that objective is referred. Eg. Click here http://hop.clickbank.net/?zodiaccom/7gsbook
In your articles, you can recommend your friend’s products, the products of the affiliate programs you have signed up & you can give links to your friend’s sites ( and ask them for a reciprocal link ). You can sign up for many affiliate programs and then promote these products through your writing !
After writing articles, submitting them is another Herculean task. My method of Article Submission is as follows.
After writing my first article on AstroNumerology, I went to Google.com & typed Numerology Submit Article.
The Search showed 1600. I went to each of the links and submitted my article.
Most of the intellectual websites have a Submit Article Webpage wherein they say “Share your Expertise and Profile your business”. You will not be paid monetarily but you will get Free Advertising in return as the bio shows who you are. So this is the practical way to do it. Go the Search Engines, type Subject Subject Article and submit your article to the links that appear as Searches.
Group Lists
Group Lists are considered as a goldmine of marketing. There are so many groups listed on http://www.topica.com/ and http://www.yahoogroups.com/.
What you do is to go to these sites and type in the name of your subject. I typed Yoga in http://www.yahoogroups.com/ and got 458 lists. I subscribed to all. I post my messages to them once a week. I got 40 lists on Astrology from http://www.yahoogroups.com/. I subscribed to them. I post regularly and the people on the list see my posts. My posts contain my url address & my email address. People on the list see the post and visit my site or contact me via email. On the first day I received an order for 40 ebooks. Next day also. Many subscribed to my Ezine, the Z Files. Traffic increased considerably because of this method. Hope you will do the same.
On the Net, success depends on Marketing. Benjamin Franklin talked about improving our 13 skills which will lead to millions, the greatest of which is adcopywriting. Marketing skill is another. Promote, promote & promote !
