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 http://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

http://www.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!
