There is one thing I would like to clear up first before sharing those tips with you. Many webmasters and Internet marketers alike often complain about been unable to drive traffic to their site.

This is understandable because without traffic, your site will not make money. What I want to make clear is this. Getting traffic to your site is not the problem; the problem is getting that traffic to convert to sales.

We can all go out and buy lots of traffic which none of us minds doing if we get a return on our investment. On the other hand, if we do not then we find ourselves in a difficult predicament. That is why in the title I wanted to discuss the difference between quality traffic and traffic that does not convert.

Pay Per Click

This is one of the fastest ways to get traffic to your site. The down side is that is costs money. If your site does nothing to build a relationship with your visitors then I am afraid you will have a hard time making this profitable. You need to be building a list from this traffic and you need to communicate with that list by providing valuable information that they can apply to their needs immediately. Then once they start to see results, they will buy products from you. This is a fact and it has been proven time and again to work.

Article Marketing

Article marketing is not just about writing articles with links pointed back to your site. When it comes to article marketing you need to have good titles with relevant information that addresses the reader’s needs. Then you need to have a link back to a webpage that once again provides relevant information and genuinely helps your visitor to overcome their problem. Once again always be building a list as this enables you to build a relationship with your visitors and from this your traffic will convert to more sales.

Ezine Advertising

This can prove to be very effective depending upon the ezine you advertise in. Research is critical so as to ensure that the ezine has targeted traffic relevant to your offer and additionally has a large number of readers who trust and respect the ezine that they read. Relevancy is critical here in order to convert traffic to sales.

Search Engine Optimization

This strategy is a more a long term approach however is it effective. You may see a common pattern evolve relative to all these tips and that is relevancy. Relevancy improves conversion. We don’t care about traffic we care about conversions. The good thing with search engine optimization is that you web pages have to be relevant in order to get on the first page of the search results. Search engine traffic is proven to convert at a higher rate than advertised traffic. Being on the first page of Google builds credibility in your visitors mind and credibility converts to sales.

Forums

Forums are a wonderful place to research a market and find keywords to advertise with. Beyond that on the forums people discuss various challenges they have relative to any given subject. Your job is to help by providing information that will address their needs. Contribute to the forums in a helpful manner then provide a link on your signature that shows them the details on how best to achieve the result they are looking for. Once again this kind of traffic converts.

Link Sharing

Sharing your links with other webmasters who have similar content to yours. I know I sound like a parrot but it will benefit all parties concerned if your links are placed on relevant websites with relevant information. You do not see vegetarian foods been advertised in a butchers shop.

Online Video

This is fast becoming popular. It is said these days that video is being searched online over sixty percent of the time. All you need to do is make a quick video that can either have dramatic or humorous content then display a link to your website where they can learn more.

Web 2.0

Sounds like something out of Star Trek but basically these are sites that provide a social and interactive environment. Set up a page about your self and your interests then have a link back to your site where you go into detail relevant to your described interests. Once again aim to build a list form this traffic that way you will generate more sales.

Classified Advertising

Once again, this can be tricky but I have a little tip for you that will make all the difference. Set up a US Free Ads account then create a classified add that has 200 hundred characters or more that targets your desired keyword. Look for keywords relevant to your offer that have low competition.

Then put the keyword in the title and sprinkle it throughout the copy. The beauty of this is that not only will you get page views from your add but you will also find your page will get picked up by Google providing you with free search engine traffic.

Press Release

If you have just build a new site that offers a product or service, get a press release written about it then distribute the press release. Make sure it has your desired keyword in the title and once again spread throughout the copy. The search engines will then pick this up but not only that it will also provide relevant links back to your site from various different news outlets online.

To conclude work smart not hard.

Have you been in search of the proper ways regarding how to create a website or how to make a blog? Do you realize that you can do both by using WordPress?

However, You must be aware of the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org sites.

WordPress.com Sites are more for entertainment blogging, not for optimizing or monetizing the website for profit. WordPress.org sites involve an individual to acquire their unique domain name, and the need to host the site with a hosting company. It is these types of sites that replace normal websites, and they are a lot less difficult to optimize as well as to maintain than regular websites.

WordPress utilizes what is called plugins to customize your site. Most plugins are free, but some are paid.

Let me give you an example: I have websites that have been converted into WordPress blogs. I have a WordPress Blog that has been transformed into a membership site simply by using a paid plugin.

The simplicity of use is but one great benefit of using WordPress for all of your website needs. You no longer have to pay a graphic designer or web manager to develop or sustain your sites.

As soon as I learned how to create a website and make a blog using WordPress, releasing myself from the grips of a high priced web master and web manager, that is when this business became significantly easier for me.

Plus, search engines love WordPress. It is less difficult to have your WordPress sites ranked on the search engines, and with the exception of paying for a domain name, as well as for website hosting, it is basically a complimentary product.

Did you realize that:
1) There are at this time approximately 17-Million Americans out of a job? 2) Are you also aware that at any given time there are approximately 750,000 individuals on the Internet trying to find work at home opportunities?

For many, the Internet is the is the next great opportunity, and now a great number of Americans are increasingly being exposed to it, given that they find themselves unemployed and they are looking at every potential advantage that they can get their hands on.

Having said that, don’t anticipate to turn on your computer and begin making a living. It’s not at all that simple. And don’t expect to create a website utilizing WordPress and instantaneously think you will be bringing in the big dollars. It just does not work that way, however with suitable instruction, a complete amateur can now make use of the easy ways to make money online.

World Class Training Leeds to Successful Outcomes

When you invest in the appropriate instruction, and you adhere to established systems that lead you, step-by-step, towards success, then your hopes for making money online may become a reality.

For instance, I know of a teenager, actually, a 19-year old young man who makes over 0,000 per month working at home online. Now let that sink in for a minute. He is ONLY 19-years old! I’m sure many of you would be pleased to be generating ,500 a month, or possibly ,000 monthly, nevertheless the point I am making is the fact that anybody can do this with correct coaching.

The strategy to the Internet is bringing targeted visitors: This young man says that, “once you know how to control the amount of traffic coming to your websites, you will not EVER concern yourself with money EVER again”.

Have you been battling in this business because you have not had enough customers coming to your websites? If so, focus on driving more traffic.

If a teenager can accomplish this, you can accomplish similar success too. Step-by-Step training is what you need to follow!

A website design tutorial, needs to be detailed, precise and yet expressed in non-technical terms to make it easy for even the beginner to follow. When it comes to designing, creating and uploading a new website these, I feel, are the areas that must be covered.

Start creating. This should cover buying a domain name and signing up with a hosting company.

Downloading and installing. You will need an HTML editor or website builder so why not use a first class product that is also free?

Domain name servers. What are they and when do you need to be concerned about them?

If you use an instant template you will never truly understand how a web page is put together and believe me at some stage in your online career you are going need that knowledge. It will stop you from wasting a great deal of time and money.

Saving files correctly. Not the most exciting subject matter, is it, but bad file management is the cause of endless delays, confusion and errors and yet the solution is very simple.

Publishing your first web page. Nothing causes the beginner more anxiety than uploading a website files using ftp, file transfer protocol, yet it need not be so. If you know what are doing it’s quite simple. Then there is the thrill of seeing your creation on the web for the first time, nothing like it!

Fonts, images and color. Your web pages should be easy to read, attractive and effective. Get this element wrong and goodbye online business.

Creating a link. Again simple when you are shown how.

Creating another page. Your site will almost certainly have more then one page.

Resizing your page. It is, of course, vital that your site looks good when published and is properly centered.

Have you just completed designing website for your company or your business ? Have you just redesigned your website ? If yes, than are you sure that your website is going to acheive all the purposes that it has been set out for ? Are you sure your website is going to be successful ? Are you sure that potential customers can find your website in top rankings on various search engines ?

Web Designing technologies, application and development change so rapidly nowadays that the site you developed just a few months back might be outdated as of now, and with the technological changes in web designing your website might seem obsolete. Here are a few points which you should consider while designing a website to make your website a successful one which will get potenial customers and rank higher on a search engine.

Is your website Compatible ?

Your website should display correctly, in its intended form, shape & design to all the visitors of your website regardless of them using whatever computers, operating systems, browsers and monitor resolution. You will have to make sure that the website displays correctly to all the users. Some websites need some plugins or players to display the content – if that is the case with your website than a download link for such plugins and players should be provided, so that the users who do not have such plugins or players can download it instantly and view your content. If possible, you can lso provide a guide on how to install such plugins or players on different page on your website.

If your website Complete ?

NONE, repeat, None of the web pages on your website should be under construction. Usually, website designers develop a site over a period of time, and in most cases your websitee will never be truly completed, but for that you should not leave your website or a web page under construction. If you do not have the content or information to be put up on a page —- then do not put that page on the website now —- you can do that later when you have the information or content — but do not put up a under construction page.

Does your website have relevant content ?

You need to keep a watchful eye on the content that is being published on your website. Legal & technical implications apart — the content on your website has several other implications on the search engine rankings. Make sure that you have relevant content for all your pages like Home Page, About us page, products page, services page, Contact page etc. All the information mentioned should have been created or developed by you or the web designer. Is the information on your website relevant, accurate, complete and current ? Do a watchful query on whether the content on your website is original and not copied from some other sources or website. Duplicate content will not help your website to acheive top rankings in search engines.

The content on your website should be checked for the correctness of spelling, typos and incorrect grammar.

What is Graphics to Text ratio on your website ?

A graphics effect or image or a flash effect is meant to attract the visitors of your website, but it should not be overdone to such an extent that the visitor gets involved in the graphics and forgets about the sales message of your website. At the same time, your website should also not look poor in the terms of graphics. So, the key word here is ‘balance’, there shuld be a right mix of text content and graphics on your website. If your website has more graphics and text, it will be very difficult to get higher search engine rankings. The ideal text to graphics ration on your website should be 80:20, that is to say 80% should be text and 20% should be graphics/images.

Is your website Interactive ?

We all like something that involves us, that is to say we like something wherein we can also participate, meaning we all like interactivity. Now, consider the same for your website. Is your website interactive ? Does the visitor of your website feel included as a part of your website ? If you can do this, than half the battle is won. You have been able to make the visitor a part of your website and thats a good thing for search engine promotion. You can include many components and small snippets which can make your website interactive like adding a message board, comments, mailing list, polls etc. You can also add a blog to your website where you can publish articles or your thoughts or news from the industry, which will make yuor website interactive and it will also tempt the visitors to come to your site often.

What is the link structure of your website ?

Thoroughly check all the links on your website. The links should all be pointing to their correct intended pages, there should be a clear heirarchy of links, and all of the links should be working. There should not even a single broken link. If you are linking to an external website, check often the correctness of the links as that might change over a peiod of time. If you have dead links on yorur website, edit them or remove them immediately as that might frustrate your visitors.

How fast does your website load ?

Check your website with different internet connections and gauge the speed at which your website loads. Ideally your website shuold load within the first 8 seconds, because that is the average attention span of the internet surfers around the world. If you fail to present your website or yourself within the first 8 seconds than probably you have lost a potential customer. The website loading speed depends on various factors, ofcourse first of it being the internet connection speed of the visitor, amount of graphics on your website, the web server that you are hosted on and the bandwidth of your web server. Graphics take up a lot of time to load, hence graphics should be use at those places where absolutely necessary.

Choose your web host who can provide your good bandwidth and almost 99% uptime of your website, because you do not want your website to be down when a potential customer visits your website.

Is it easy to navigate your website ?

Your website contains information, about your company and products or services. But, pay attention to the question, Is it easy to find information on your website ? Do you have the mandatory pages like home, about us, products, services, contacts etc. The home page or the index page which is the first one which loads should contain links to all the other pages on your website. The links should be presented in a logical presentation, in such a way that all the information is presented to the web site visitor at a glance.

How many Incoming links does your website have ?

It is very important that your website be referred through other websites or blogs related to your industry. Search engines depend on links from other websites to your website to include your website in their index. The more incoming links for your website that you have — the better. The more RELATED links your website has from related websites – the best. It is to say that if you have a business of manufacturing exercise notebook manufacturing machinery — then getting a link from a fashion website would server no purpose while getting a link from a notebook manufacturers website will be considered in high regard by the search engines.

Is your website optimized for Search engine promotion ?

Your website should be optimized for search engine promotion, it should rank higher for important keywords in major search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, Altavista etc. Also make sure that you make optimum use of title, keyword and description tags. Make usre that the keywords and description you mention are relevant and contain your keywords. Also take note that your important keywords should be included in the description mentioned on the website.

What is the style of your website ?

Each website has its own distinct style and makes its own statement. What style does your website have ? What statement does your website male. Is it enhancing your company image ? Does it define your business goals. Is it user friendly ? How does your website fare with your competitors website ? The look and feel of your website should be easy going, attractive and friendly so that reflects your corporate image and helps build business. If your site does not have have this, than probably its time for redesigning of website.

Is your website usable ?

Website being usable identifies with the fact how easily your website visitors can make use of your website. The best way to know this is to get feedback from the visitors. If there are complaints, comments or questions from your website visitors than you should change your website according to that. Remember one thing, you are not making website for yourself, but for visitors and potential customers — hence a website should be made according to what they like.

Caching

The first thing every website should have is caching. WordPress is a very flexible tool – it can be changed very easily. This includes the design and the content of the website.

But this flexibility costs something. It is slower than traditional static Html pages. That is why we need a cache.

A website cache simply converts dynamic WordPress pages to static pages. Those static pages are faster to load and display for the user. “WP Super Cache” WordPress plugin is the most downloaded and used plugin for caching. It is easy to install and maintain. When you install the plugin, do not forget to set it ON.

Note also, that in the configuration page, there is a button you must hit to apply the cache settings to your hosting account. It is in the section “Mod Rewrite Rules”.

It is also good to enable a compression – see the section “Super Cache Compression”.

Consolidation and compression

WordPress websites tend to have complex pages. They include pictures, various plugins and other files (CSS files, JS files, etc.). It takes time to load all these components and display them in a browser.

And this is where the Minify WordPress plugin comes in. Minify plugin combines and compresses JS and CSS files to improve page load time. The Minify engine returns a consolidated and compressed script or style to use by WordPress.

For example, instead of loading 10 files, a browser only loads 5 files, thus the page is displayed faster.

Measure

What gets measured, gets done. Bear this in mind even before you start optimizing your website. Use tools like Page Speed (which is a Firefox plugin, recommended by Google), or similar tool, Yslow.

These tools will not only evaluate the performance of your web pages but also present suggestions on how to improve them.

Last tips

Do not work too hard on the website performance, and do not spend too much time on it. Implement just those 20% things that will get you 80% results. I believe that these two plugins are those 20% you need.

Do not push it to the limit, unless you have hundreds of visitors a day. And if it is the case, you should afford to hire a professional help and invest in better hosting or dedicated server and other things

So how can you optimize your website to get tons of free traffic and rank at the top with the best search engines. What is this SEO recipe? There are 5 major components to this. These are, creating proper meta tags with proper keywords for your website, the number of directory submissions, the number of reciprocal links to your website, the number of inbound links via articles, forums, classified ads, etc; and timely updates to your website. So let’s analyze every member of this list:

These days you hear a lot of talk about how search engines don’t look at meta tags anymore in order to properly index and rank your website. This is not entirely true. Placing the proper meta tag title, description, and keywords in your HTML coding will give your website a HUGE boost of credibility in the eyes of the search engines. Always place proper meta tags on your website no matter what anyone says!

Submitting your website to as many directories as possible will help you rank high with the search engines. By finding as many directories as possible and submitting your website to them, you are gaining exposure and inbound links via searches. When search engines such as Google index your site, they weigh in this factor and directly use it to determine just how important your website is to the internet. Submit your website to at least 50 directories!

Another great way to gain page rank with search engines is to have as many backlinks (or reciprocal links) as possible. This is when you agree to directly link to another website, in return for that website linking directly to yours. This could very well be the most powerful method to gain page rank, get indexed, and attain top search results of all the SEO strategies described in this article. However, overdoing it will not be to your benefit. A good way to backlink with other websites is to do it with the every directory that you are submitting your website to (the same directories that I spoke of earlier). Directory links will give your website tremendous validity because essentially you are linking to massive online networks this way. So make sure you opt to make reciprocal links with all the directories you submit your website to. You can also buy backlinks from prominent websites!

Always try to get as much free inbound links as possible. Don’t ever quit! Keep writing and posting your links throughout articles, blogs, forums, press releases, classified ads, online groups (such as yahoo answers, Google groups, twitter, etc), Squidoo, social bookmarking, email lists, AdWords, and as many others as you can think of. All of these inbound links will add up very quickly, and will prove to the search engines that your site is important to the web community.

Finally, after doing the previous four steps that I have mentioned, your site should be indexed, have a high page rank, top listing with search engines, and should be getting floods of free, targeted traffic. However, you must keep updating your site with new material if you want to maintain that status. Without this last step, you could loose a lot of your hard-earned SEO points if the search engines declare your site stagnant. Don’t let it happen to you!

It has become imperative today for business enterprises to have presence in the online world given that customers have become tech savvy and want to get the things they desire using the most friendly medium of communication, that is, INTERNET. This factor alone has led the companies to adopt Internet Marketing as a promotional tool but to achieve their purpose mere presence on the web is not enough. An organization needs to have an appealing yet comprehensive and informative website which is representative of its goals and beneficial in the long run.

Whether a company sells goods or provides services, it must send out its message to its target group in real time and in the manner that a customer would like to receive. For this to happen, the website must incorporate the latest techniques to fully utilize its scope and give high ROI to an organization.

Following are the requisites that should be given attention to successfully market your products and services in the online space:

Website Design – A website should be designed in accordance with the nature of business. For ex- if a company manufactures products, the design should be apt to give more prominent to the products category to initiate maximum sales

Website Development - It should be developed on a regular basis with internet applications, e-commerce solutions, and content development to stay updated

Search Engine Optimization - SEO is a highly efficient internet marketing tool to improve search engine rankings and driving huge traffic to the website
Link Building – A right mixture of inbound, outbound, back–links, etc is crucial to obtain maximum exposure for a website

Social Media Optimization – Since SMO offers an easy way to reach larger audiences, a website must make use of this tool to enhance visibility

In addition to these essential tools, a website needs to adapt itself to tools like Pay per Click (PPC), Blog writing, Video optimization, content writing, Press Release submission, etc.

An organization willing to mark its presence online can avail of the services through various Internet marketing companies. But all of them may not provide a complete solution.

The first thing you need to do is make sure your website is complete.  Allot of new websites are built by amateur web designers who know just enough to get by. Watch some YouTube tutorials on how to optimize your site for the search engines.  Once your site is somewhat optimized it is time to move on to promoting your website.

How do Google and other search engines decide which site should be number 1, and which site should be somewhere on the 20th page?  It is a complicated process,  however I have found that if you get enough back links you can reach number  1. Currently I have 3 websites ranked #1 in Google for their keywords and the only advertising I have done is writing articles just like this one you are reading right now.  If you write a good enough article, someone will use it on their website and when that happens you get a back link.  A back link is simply a link on a website that sends people to your website.  If they like your website they might tell other people to check it out and those people might tell other people, and before you know it you have a ton of traffic.

you can not get results without spending time or money, and I don’t know about you, but I would much rather spend a couple of hours writing an article then spending 0 an hour to pay someone to do it for you.  and allot of those SEO firms will do a fantastic job at first,  but it seems that after you stop paying, you slowly start falling down the ranks on the search engine.  I have no idea what causes this, it is just what I have noticed from my experience with hired SEO companies.

So to get high up on googles list, optimize your site as best as you can, and write an article or 2 about something you know about.  I am no expert in web design or SEO, but I know what has worked for me.  If you don’t believe let’s try a test.

Today is May 24th 2010.  I am getting ready to launch my newest site benlocal.com, and this is the only article I am going to write.  It will take about a week for the article databases to publish this article and after that the back links will start.  That is all I am going to do to advertise this new site.  Benlocal is a homepage with a Google search, popular links, local news, weather, and a funny daily video.  I feel it is the handiest start page I have ever seen. So if you search Google for “local homepage”, or “city homepage”, or even “homepage”, you will see that I am climbing in the ranks and it didn’t cost me a penny, all I had to do was write an article and submit it to the article databases.  If you are interested in a free custom local home page, check out benlocal and click cities, or contact us and we will be happy to make you a custom homepage for free.

Search Engine Optimisation, or what is popularly referred to as SEO, is the method whereby website owners undertake certain procedures to increase their search engine ranking and is specifically targeted at the keywords somebody will type into the search box of a search engine. The website that manages to achieve a higher ranking than that of its competitors on a search engine will get more website traffic and therefore more sales, although getting onto the top of the first page of any search engine is not an easy mission. Nonetheless, with a few practical changes to your website following systematic methodology will reap rewards.

Prior to commencing the SEO process, undertake a brief site analysis to include checking your sitemap, use of flash, animations and images, website content, page titles and the number of pages within the site, etc. Inspect header tags, robot,txt files and anchor text in the pages of the site and then take a look at the websites of your competitors and see where they rank in a search utilising your keywords.

Next, analyse your website methodically and make a list of your main keywords, categorising them as primary and secondary keywords. You can use the assistance of keyword tools such as Google AdWords. These keyword tools will provide data in connection with the keywords that people are entering into search engines. Select the relevant keywords applicable to your website and then use a competitor’s website to form ideas to help you to generate keywords and phrases.

Ensure that each page of your website has a unique title that encapsulates the very essence of that page and includes services, products and most importantly include important keywords within the text. Page titles speak about the web page content and all of this plays a crucial role in SEO. Choose your page title carefully and keep it short roughly between 50 and 70 characters.

Meta descriptions play an important role in search engine optimisation, giving a more elaborate description of your products and services and page content. Construct a good description of your web page using your main keywords in the description. However, do not fill the description with keywords, as it should look like a description. The length of the meta description should be between 130 – 150 characters. A further fact that makes the meta description so important is that the content you insert will be displayed as part of the search engine results.

The content of your website will play a major role in your search engine ranking. Your web pages should have good quality content, being fresh and comprehensive. Search engines love fresh and unique content and they will reward you with a higher ranking in search results. Make good use of your keywords, but write for your website visitors and not search engines.

Incorporate header tag (h1 tags) on each page. The range is from h1 to h6. Use your main keywords in the h1 tags. Search engines will give higher priority to anchors text, so you should use your major keywords here. Try to avoid using generic phrases like ‘read more’ and ‘click here’, using more search engine friendly phrases such as ‘Information about our services here’. This will help in providing a link to other pages for search engines.
Generate a site map for your site, which should be linked to all pages in the site. The ideal site map will offer inside links to all internal pages of the website. If you have a website with more than, say, 100 pages then build a site map that links to only the major pages of the site.

Have a robot.txt file for the site that indicates to search engine robots the pages of the site that need to be crawled and the ones that do not.

Finally, link building plays a vital role in search engine ranking of your site. Endeavour to get them from relevant sites and concentrate on quality rather than quantity. Organic methods of link building are from social media sites, newsletters, blogs and the creation of videos.
