Are you disgusted with your website sales while watching other web business owners soar past you in the search engines?  

You're not alone, if this is you, it's almost a sure bet that at least one of the following is holding you back:

• You're not getting enough traffic
• You're not getting targeted traffic
• You're not converting your visitors to sales

For many internet business owners, increasing your website sales may simply be a matter of tweaking a few things here or there, for others it might require more extensive website redesign, but in the short term it's worth it to you to take a look at how these things might relate to your decreased sales and what you can do about it.

While drinking my morning coffee and making my internet rounds, I came across a blog that caught my attention.  It's called authorityrules.com and features a free PDF guide by the same name. I downloaded the guide, no sign-up required or anything like that, just a simple mouse click and I began reading. 

The guide is only 18 pages long and took just a few minutes to read but I couldn't help but notice it contains some very powerful yet down to earth truths concerning the power of authority and why you need that if you're going to be effective at online marketing.

This caught my attention particularly because the guide demonstrates the very things that are so overlooked by internet marketers, particularly newbies looking to start an internet business.   I realized a long time ago the importance of establishing authority and it's not always as easy as it looks. It takes time, a willingness to keep learning and lots of interaction with others.

Brian Clark is the author of Authorityrules but he's also the founder and creator of Copyblogger so Brian knows a thing or two about blogging and internet marketing and how to be successful at it, I guess you could say he's an authority

Brian does a great job at helping us realize the real power in authority and how it can help us build trust and respect, and without those things you're not likely to go very far. Additionally, you can't simply tell people you're an authority others have to say it as well. To quote a line in the guide, "What other people say about you is more important than what you say about yourself". 

The guide not only demonstrates the importance of attaining and demonstrating authority, it goes through the rules for how to create a website that will achieve recognized authority from both people and the search engines. 

Bottom line?  You'll learn how to cash in with authority.
