Convert your Visitors Instead of Promotional Efforts
Posted on December 28, 2007
Improving Your Conversion Reduces the Need to Constantly Promote Your Sites
I just got off the phone with Michael Fortin, one of the top copywriters and conversion experts on the web.
We were doing a seminar for our members on conversion and testing for website owners wanting more out of the traffic they already enjoy, rather than constantly having to promote their sites to support low conversion rates. Specifically, we were talking about all the things you can do to test different “calls to action.”
A call to action is anything you are trying to get people to do on any particular site or page of a site. It could be buying a product or service, getting people on an announcement list or newsletter, or getting people to click on your advertising links.
Most web publishers are so happy when they finally have a site up that they consider their work done and get right to marketing it. Once the traffic rolls in, they enjoy whatever sales or clicks they get and try to make more money by driving MORE traffic to the site.
Then they start building another site. And another. And another.
This is a disturbing trend that is creating a massive amount of waste. Both in resources and time. Especially when it comes to niche publishers who are building massive networks of sites on different topics in order to capture emails, generate advertising revenue, sell affiliated products and services, or to build their lists to generate backend sales to their subscribers.
The waste is generated when people are in too big a hurry to build more sites, add more products, and get more traffic to sites that can convert sometimes 1000% BETTER than they do now.
They are moving at a hectic pace, in this scenario, to build, when their income goals can most often easily be met without so much waste.
One example of waste is when someone builds a content-dry site that has nothing but Adsense and some links on it. People hit that kind of site and can’t wait to find a reason to leave. The thinking is, “Great! My ‘click thru ratio’ is sky high! I am getting almost everyone to click on my ads!”
But here’s what’s happening in reality: you are working VERY hard to get traffic to such a site, only to “burn” it on a 35 cent click! No email capture, no follow-up, and most importantly no desire on the part of the visitor to EVER see your site again!
Would you rather have someone come through your site and click immediately on an advertiser’s link, never to return? Or would you rather have someone come to your site, read some great content, sign up for your list and not click on ANY links that first time?
I will take scenario #2 any day of the week. And I won’t have made a single penny off of that person with that initial action. But I will in the future!
If you have a site that you constantly test and tweak for performance (beyond its ability to repulse your visitors into clicking on an advertisement just to get to a QUALITY site) then you have a real business.
You can test and track SO MANY variables to make a site more profitable than it is now. Every site on the web can perform better than it does right now. Every single one!
The people who understand this never stop testing their calls to action to get their visitors to do more than something that results in a one-time action.
Traffic is the most expensive thing on the web both in the time it takes to get it and the resources you have to use up for each and every hit.
The traffic you have now might be all the traffic you EVER need on a daily basis to make a killing with your site. You will never know until you test and track everything about your site.
The headlines, the offers, the opt-in forms, the guarantees, testimonials, bullets, Adsense placement, follow-up… In short, every webmaster on the net has a lot of work to do on every site they own if they really want to reap the kinds of profits their sites are actually capable of pulling in.
Most people get a site up and are happy with the sales or clicks they get and move on. NO! You are leaving so much money on the table thinking you are done with a site right after you put it up.
That site is the worst it should ever be! Wasting another domain fee, hosting fee, bandwidth and the costs associated with getting traffic to a brand new site before you have optimized your current site for the very best conversion it can pull is NOT good business practice.
I know people who have literally thousands of domains. And one thing I can guarantee you is this: They are making a pittance, even if they are making $60,000 a DAY, in comparison to what they COULD be making with far fewer sites and more testing and tweaking of that smaller group!
And Fortin seems to agree. He is going to be at my seminar in New Orleans September 9th - 11th, 2005 to expose everyone who attends to just how much money they have left on the table over the years because they have never tested different aspects of their calls to action.
It is enlightening, as well as depressing to find out how much money you COULD have made all this time had you tested from the beginning!
But the point is, you cannot go back to get all those lost subscribers, sales, or clicks. You can only start testing today to capture more money from each site you own. Thereby alleviating the need to have a massive network of sites all performing at half their potential or much less!

Search Engine Positioning Tips
Posted on December 27, 2007
Optimize for Google and Yahoo
Search engine optimization techniques for Google and Yahoo are quite different. Many websites rank well in one search engine but not the other. This is the direct result of each search engine having its own unique ranking algorithm. For example, the Google algorithm predominantly values the anchor text of in-bound links. Yahoo places more emphasis on keyword density and meta tags.
The primary reason for the difference in ranking algorithms is that Google owns the patent on Page Rank (PR), named after Google’s founder Larry Page. As a result of owning this patent, other search engines need to place more emphasis on different optimization factors including website URL, keyword density and so on.
What are the greatest differences in search engine algorithms?
Google places a significant amount of emphasis on inbound links to your website. The value of these inbound links are measured based on their Google PR. The more links you receive from high Google PR web pages, the better your search result placements will be for a given keyword or search term.
Yahoo places emphasis on website URLs, meta tags, and keyword density. These factors can be analyzed on any website with a limited amount of effort, allowing Yahoo to quickly and easily rank websites properly.
How you can optimize your website for both Google and Yahoo!
The challenge all website owners face is making the most of their optimization efforts. When thinking about search engine optimization, you need to cover all the bases. To do so, pay particular attention to the following guidelines.
1. Keyword Targeted URL. If your website URL doesn’t contain your keywords, consider purchasing a new one or creating a new page off of your root directory (ex: marketingscoop.com/internetmarketing.htm). Having your keywords in the URL helps improve both your Yahoo and Google search results. Yahoo weighs the website address as an important ranking factor. Google values a keyword rich URL when third party websites place a link to your site using nothing but a web address.
2. Meta Tags. Although not as important as they once were, Yahoo still uses meta tags to help align search engine rankings and appropriate website pages. Make sure that your meta tags are complete and include your keyword phrases in the title, description, and keyword tags.
3. Keyword Density Between 6 – 8%. Although much has been written about the importance of keyword density remaining between 2 – 3%, Yahoo looks for sites with keyword densities as high as 8%. Don’t be afraid to include your keywords throughout your webpage content. Make sure however, that your keyword density is not more than 8%. (Editor’s note recommendes 2-4% KW density)
4. Link Building. This is the most important factor for increasing Google search result placements. Develop a link building campaign and give other sites a reason to link to your site. This may include free downloads, tools, or other valuable resources.
5. Site Map. Publish a sitemap. This makes it easy for search engines to spider your website and access all of your most important web pages. Site maps should be accessible from your home page and kept up-to-date.
Optimizing for both Google and Yahoo can be challenging. Following basic seo principles and working to develop incoming links can help you reach the top of the largest search engines. Apply these techniques regularly to see the greatest results.

Locating and Maintaining your Server
Posted on December 18, 2007
LOCATING A WEB SERVER-3
There are many sites which do this for free also, that are they do not charge money for hosting sites on their servers. A webmaster is the person who is in charge of the processing the web designed page server. This person can also be the system administrator or a net working person.
KEEPING YOUR FILES ORGANIZED USING DIRECTORIES
It is important that you create meaningful directories and place your files accordingly into meaningful directories not only organizes your work but also makes your site very portable across servers .it also reduces the possibility of encountering broken links. Remember always to use relative path while hyper linking files.
MOVING FILES TO WEB SERVER
To move your files to the web server you will have to use FTP, Modems transfer or some other way. While transferring files it is important that you watch out for the following points:
1.Filename restrictions
Usually this does not cause many problems, but even then it is safer to take precautions. If you are moving files to form dos systems, then you have to keep in mind about the dos rule of letter filename restrictiction.it is always safer to keep short names comprising of only letters numbers.
2.Upper/lower case problems
This problem can be quite a nuisance if you are not careful from the very beginning. There are some operating systems and file management programs that show filenames in lower case, while the dos based names in reality may be all upper case. And if in your web design pages the links have been defined in lower case, which is true most of the time, then your links will appear broken when you transfer your web page to a serve r that uses case-sensitive urls, for instance the UNIX servers. Therefore, it is safe that you double-check this issue with your webmaster before uploading files to the server.
3.Transferring mode of files
When you transfer files using FTP or any other program you will be provided with options like binary or text mode of transfer.remeber, always to transfer your html files, images and other media in binary format. You can even transfer text file in binary mode.
Commercial internet service
If you do not have access to the internet to the internet from your college or office then you can access internet through an internet service provider or via commercial online service. Of course, this method may cost you money and there may be space and script restrictions .you can clarify theses issues with the ISP or the commercial service that you plan to use.
There are many services available on the internet that provides assistance in web publishing. They not only provide disk space but also ftp and other process have a webmaster /administrator or a team ,which maintains threw server so fees, while there are many that let let out space without any charge.
Most of the commercial internet service providers give web space on their own server and your account name is added on to the server address

Writing Long Tail Articles for Higher Conversions
Posted on December 16, 2007
Using Long Tail Keywords
How to Write for Business Writing and High-Test Communication with Long Tails
As a knowledgeable composer long tail keywords in article writing is a clever little peppering process to add to your creative article writing. Of course I am not trying to disturb your natural writer style, so please don’t get your hackles up so quickly! First ask yourself a simple question, “Why do you write?” If your answer is “for the pure passion and joy with no expectation for any ROI” Then STOP reading this article, please read another article on this site.
Assuming that you are like the majority of fine author’s online…expecting a little ROI or profit are not swear words. That’s why I want to talk about writing an article using Long Tail Keywords. Long tail marketing is used by webby’s that are in the know about a simple way to convert more sales and drastically reduce the cost per-sale. The long tail Chris Anderson book is a highly recommended read for those that are not clear on long tail keywords.
Improve your article on persuasive writing by adding long tails
The art of persuasive writing can be improved by researching the long tail theory. What you are doing by learning what long tails are related to your headwork is intensifying the qualifications of each and every visitor. Let me give you and example. Suppose you are writing an article on “red shoes”. After you have written your article and published it your content will eventually get spidered by a search bot. The search engine decides that the article is about “red shoes”. Now, if you ever managed to get ranked for this phrase what type of visitor do you think “red shoes” will bring? The fact of the matter is you are a shoe retailer in the state of New York. Let’s reconsider the article for a moment. If the article was written similarly, instead talking more about buying red shoes in New York, which visitor to your site is more likely to buy?
The long tail uses a “headword” and a “tail”
In the example above the headword is “red shoes” the tail is “in New York”.
I see, so it’s as simple as writing content that uses the long tail for long tail marketing to search engines and Bob’s my uncle, right?
My long tail theory may differ from others. I think that if we try to understand content writing in the eyes of a modern day search engine they are going to want more from your article then just “red shoes in New York”. Other important components are expert terms (verbiage), long tail keywords, synonyms, Statistically improbable phrases with an over-all tone of genuine knowledge.
If we examine our long tail keyword “red shoes in New York” we can break it down into 2 groups in this case
Synonyms relationships for “red shoes”
- shoe
- shoes red
- red sneakers
- boots
- red shoe
- red boots
- boots red
- footwear
Synonym Relationships for “in New York”
- in new york’s
- latest
- new york news
- new in new york
- newest
Then there are ways you can organize your long tail keywords.
- new york’s finest red shoe footwear
- the newest trends in stylistic red sneakers
- the latest new york news on getting the right red shoe for you
My opinion is, being able to say the same thing in different ways while still connecting powerful sentences is a deadly SEM weapon. Even the long tail, you can still easily get caught up in the keyword stuffing spam filter that is a part of Google’s way of filtering out spam from their index. You can easily expand on my small long tail theory for article writing above and don’t forget to also include your expert terms, long tail keywords (prefer less than 2.5%) and statistically improbable phrases.
Once you practice a few long tail article writing recipes and get in the groove the reality is (for me) my writing improved from both perspectives, the search engine and people.
It is incredible what is really going on here. Search engines are becoming incredibly intelligent! Long tail phrases are a part of their database. The result is people that query a search engine using long tail keywords are getting highly targeted results. Those same people learn allot about the product they are interested in, oftentimes more than the sellers of the product themselves. So by marketing long tails you better be knowledgeable on your product or service as well. The long tail search is a win, win for buyers and knowledge enriched sellers.

What are the Ethics of Marketing to Children
Posted on December 15, 2007
The Ethics of Marketing to Children
Are you a spirited extrovert? Since toddlerhood I have been bursting with energy and always on the prowl for new stimuli. My parents had trouble understanding my abilities to remain awake for 18 hours every day with no signs of tiring. I never wanted to miss a beat.
Well, here we are 40 years later and I have never taken the time to mellow out. Since the internet began to take form in the late 90’s my interest has been in search engine advertising and publishing websites that kids like. Many marketers research websites for children, but few have been or are spirited extroverts themselves.
At the turn of the millennium I began to realize that search engines and website research can pave the way for pinpoint targeted search engine marketing to children. After determining the role that search engine data had to help organize the setting of websites I set up my first kids research website in 2002. Why kids research? Aren’t there threats to children from online marketing? It’s no secret our children are the future. Many marketing communications companies such as McDonald’s, Hershey’s marketing to children or Toys R Us spend millions every year directed right at kids.
“Mommy, can you buy me that for my birthday?”
“Daddy I want that for Christmas”
“Hey Mom can we go to McDonald’s for dinner?”
“I want that chocolate bar!”
Sound familiar? This is no fluke that your kids want what they see. The way many kid’s products are advertised and packaged leaves very little room for interpretation. In less than 1 second a youngster sees it, likes it and finally wants it. Now mom and dad you are the target of the “Nag Factor”.
Recent statistical surveys conducted suggest that children aged 12 to 17 years of age only need to say it 9 times (on average) before the parents cave and buy what they are asking for. When your son or daughter “says I want that”…you have actually been targeted by a marketing children pro. Promotion to children is a double edged sword. There is the ethics of marketing to children issue and threats to children from online marketing that is not as seen.
How and Why of Communications to Children
Each child in North America is exposed to roughly 100 TV commercials a day. If I set research in motion and dig what information I find about marketing to children is astonishing, but do I feel like I betray myself? The truth is research websites for children are a true blessing for parents.
Here are a few resourceful sites for children that are filtered by humans to ensure integrity of suitable information.
Ask Jeeves For Children
Kids can ask a question and get and immediate answer
Yahooligans
Started in 1999 it is designed for kids in the age bracket of 7 to 12.
KidsClick!
Over 5,000 kids related site compiled by librarians.
If I think back to my teenage days the closest information source I had to the internet was the school or public library.
Children today have a wealth of information at their fingertips with their research website for kids of choice. Listen-up mom and dad…the trade off for hours of engaged internet activities is “daddy I want that dolly” or “can you buy me an Xbox mom, all my friends have one and I really, really want one…please?”.
I am telling you first handed research websites for children are aimed at EXACTLY what I have told you above. Enticing your children to say any of the above magic phrases is why Free kid friendly sites have such a high conversion rate. On research websites for kids search engine marketing is studied carefully.
Appealing to and irregular child, intense kids, excited kids, sensitive kids, analytical kids, a persistent child, an introverted child, spirited children or an intense child has all been researched well. Behavioral studies allow website administers to hone their campaigns so that more and more children start nagging “I want that…”
Mom and dad, I am just letting you know what’s up here with marketing to children. Many of the research sites for children are well researched with sound search engine marketing strategies that are aimed at getting in your kid’s mind. Although you feel comfort in “kid’s safe” websites, he, he ,he…it could translate to persistent kids nagging you into purchase after purchase.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a few facts on marketing to children.
1) Children today are suffering form obesity. This is a result of Junk food (McDonald’s), extensive TV viewing hours each day and home video games such as Xbox.
2) when a child nags their parents for a gift they are 55% successful.
3) about 1./2 of children surveyed claimed that when they nag and the parent(s) cave in and buy the desired gift it improves their sense of well-being

Researched Website Design for an Unforgettable First Impression
Posted on December 12, 2007
Web design - because first impression is the last impression
With the Internet defining success in the present scenario, to become successful it is necessary to understand its ways of working and to develop or upgrade oneself according to it. These days, all the business enterprises, whether large or small, have their websites over the Internet. However, the traffic or the users visiting their sites may vary. This is generally due to web design or the search engine optimization techniques that are used while creating it.
A web design is very essential to catch the attention of the users. This is why it is necessary to make a site attractive. User-friendliness, visual appeal, accessibility, professional look and content of the website are some of the factors that guide the preference of users to visit a particular site, when required. Web design makes sure that all these factors are taken care of by using graphics and Markup language on the Internet. The main purpose of web design is to market the services and goods that are offered by that website and to enhance the profitability of that business organization.
Before initiating the designing for your website, analyze which aspect of website design you would like to emphasise upon - simplicity, 
usability, functionality or its visual appeal? Once this is done, figure out who your target audience is. This will help you to create the website according to their perspective and will help you determine what it is that they are expecting from you.
For the right web site design, there are a few points that should be kept in mind. Layout and information are of prime importance in this. Layout will form the first impression of the users about the websites. So, the home page (which will be the first thing to be displayed) should be very impressive, professional and interesting, so that there is a curiosity in users to explore the site even more. On the other hand, content is what users actually look for. So, the content should be relevant and original. The entire site should be made very interactive so as to hold the interest of the Internet users.
The colors chosen for the website should be professional in appearance, and unusual colors should be avoided. The structure of your website should not be very complicated. The navigation, menu and sitemap of the website should all be very simple and easy to comprehend for the users. Attractive images can be displayed, but the loading time for the site should not be very long, otherwise the user will prefer browsing for other sites. The loading time of the site can be controlled by displaying small sized images. Another point is that every link that is given on the site should be directing the user to the right page; else it may exhaust and exasperate him/her.
To get a professional yet simple website design that is also search-engine friendly, there are numerous web development companies and web designers that can be hired to provide their quality services and ensure you a successful online business.

What is a Theme Based Website Blueprint?
Posted on December 6, 2007
Want to learn how to create a website theme template?
With the amount of websites being added to the internet everyday getting your website ranked in the search engines is getting increasingly difficult. There is a new school of SEM that has become a strong belief for a handful of webmasters known as a theme based website. Theme based websites are a way to communicate to search engines on a highly effective level.
Your newly designed theme based website with carefully choosen based themes will tell Google what your website is about on a very intimate level. It is the new, and becoming widely accepted, method to marketing websites into top 10 ranking. These websites are quite simple to build but much time is put into analyzing and preparing harvested data for blueprint.
What is a theme based website?
Themes are thought to be a way to appeal to the LSI Google Algorithm. Websites today go through a “snapshot” process then the data is analysed and finally your context of the entire domain spells out the story to your friendly search engine. A theme based website will start at your home page (usually index) and all webpages are distinctly and deliberately placed into containers (some call silos). These containers are like baskets of fruit. To make an official theme, the baskets of fruit only contain one type of fruit and closely related topics.
- Oranges, orange peels, orange juice all go in the orange basket
- Apples, apple peels, apple sauce all go in the apple basket
In your theme base you will keep each basket nice n’ tight. If you really need to link directly to the apple basket from the orange basket use the rel=”nofollow” tag to prevent the precious theme strength you build from seeping out of your theme based website baskets (silos). Websites based on this architecture are spider and people friendly.
This technique of website construction works in its most optimum fashion when the skeleton is built from proven terms that fit in the theme well (high market share) and your business model. I don’t want to mislead you and tell you that building a rock solid website blueprint will guarantee you top placement overnight. This style of construction is not for short term planning. It is a major component the web side of your marketing plan that is considered strategy, strategy=longterm..
Take a look at the themes base for our domain.It is a product of over 60 hours of research. You will notice how neat and tidy a blueprint looks. One of the joys of a theme based website is having a roadmap for the web team to follow right from the first page, to the silos and to the content on every page. It is all blue printed…even the articles or content. If you want to experiment with your url you can build a blueprint on our website for free. We have made a tool to create theme based sites, but the creator will need to know their markets and have keyword research completed.
How to create a website theme template
For an optimum theme based website your official theme data comes from Google using tools they provide or specialized harvesting software. If you have to conduct your research manually it can be very time consuming for your home based web business. My intention is to help you theme your site for free, without having to pay for it. At the same time if the need for serious data mining for search engine market research arises we use very powerful software that is more accurate and 100’s of times faster that any human could intelligently blueprint a theme based website.
For seo new search engine technology proven seo get an official website crafted in website themes. If you are not familiar with theme based website building and planning you can get your feet wet with our free website theme builder and make your own free website themes.

The Best ways for Promoting your Website
Posted on December 5, 2007
The Right Way To Do Web Promotion
Designing a web site and staring a business is not an easy job. As for the real business one needs to register the business, find an 
office and recruit the staff imperative for the smooth running of the business. Every step taken towards the effective establishment of the business concern is imperative and nothing can be left unattended. Likewise starting a web site for online business purposes is also not an easy task. It involves many stages of creative, technical and professional skill.
Right from starting the domain registration to creating the page layout with the SEO rich content and hosting the web site every step should be carefully carried out. The web master should have professional skills to not only create an interesting web site but also should possess the skill to promote the web site successfully online and make the presence felt by millions visiting the site thereby creating a success story not only for the client but also to himself.
A total makeover of the businesses financial gains and the customer base is what is generally expected while hosting web site. 
So the work of the web master to promote the site should be focused towards meeting these goals. Just through an excellent design layout or quality content the web site cannot be considered good. The purpose for which it was created and the age group to which it should reach must be borne in mind. The content, design and the layout should all coincide with the above goals.
SEO SEM are two most important factors which a web promoter should actually work on more seriously while creating a web site. Any web site is promoted or made known to the general public through promotional ads, link building, directory submission etc. when the site is entered into a directory of a search engine it is saved in the data base and when someone searches for related words which relates to the web content of this site the site name and details come up in the search page.
So optimizing the web site content becomes very important and for this a web designer should use all the search engine optimizing techniques. Not only should he use these tactics but also maintain them then and there and this is called search engine optimization. Search engine marketing is a technique which involves marketing tactics which helps in the visibility of a web site in search engines. Tag building, newsletters, press releases etc are also considered marketing techniques through which the web sites popularity grows.
Another important web site promotion feature is the forum posting. Online social forums discuss about anything and everything and web promoters use these forums to increase the web site popularity. They start discussions in these forums in such a way that people become interested in the site immediately. Moreover these forums are read by many so the site gets the popularity it needs in no time. Web promoters even hire freelance forum posters to do this job. Thus web promotion is a multifaceted job and thus it is a job with great responsibilities.
