Keyword Tool

Go to Google Keyword Tool and utilize their keyword tool to determine what search words and phrases are most popular for your products and services. This is a great tool to narrow down the effective Keywords to use to develop Relevant Content on your websites for the products and services you offer. Using popular keywords to guide your web content, relevant to your specific line of business and expertise, will drive “free” natural Search Engine traffic to your site.

Narrow Your Niche

The narrower your niche, the narrower and more specific your marketing and web content, the more profitable you will be online. Become an expert in a certain area, develop content on your website that is resource based and relevant to your expertise, and develop specific key words to drive traffic to your site. To get an idea what people are buying on the Internet, go to ClickBank.com. Also be sure to research your competitors on the web.

Effective Marketing Web Page

  • [Squeeze Page]: This is a single request Opt-In webpage that directs the web visitor to Action: Opt-In for a Resource Article or Newsletter or Email List, Make a Purchase, or Get More Product or Service Info. This is an excellent page for visitors who have been pre-qualified via an On-Line Marketing forum. A great page to offer a Free Newsletter, Tips, Article, etc to establish credibility.
  • [Sales Page]: Compelling headlines and delineated benefit points that stress your Product or Service’s value and asks the visitor to Act. Usually a building block process works the best, guiding the visitor to a sale in a serried of steps.
  • [Blog]: Write 3-4 blogs a week about your area of industry and expertise, giving away free advice and information. Many blogs offer areas where visitors can provide feedback. I recommend you read the feedback prior to posting and be sure to respond to all Blog Feedback. A Blog is a fantastic way to dramatically increase targeted traffic to your website, stay in touch with your customers, and generate the viral marketing affect. Check out the ABC Biz Success Blog for an example Blog and be sure to visit the ABC Resource Section for blogging services and platforms.
  • [Membership Web Page]: Put your site’s best, most valuable, exclusive content on a membership site and charge for monthly membership. A membership website has hard to come by experienced-based information, and the member site creates a community of similar goal driven individuals who can communicate through forums and find common solutions. A couple membership sites to check out:
    • The Guerrilla Marketing Association
    • Master Biz Building Club
  • [Online Brochure]: Describe your Products and Services, offer the Benefits and Value of them and ask the visitor to take Action. Action could be a Sales Page that asks for the Sale or an Opt-In for a Free Informational Article (Squeeze Page).

Select a Good Hosting Company

You should expect 99.9% website uptime- reliability and capacity are key factors in picking a hosting company. You don’t want to lose traffic because visitors can’t access your website. Some hosting companies to consider:

  • 1 & 1: Hosting Company and Web Development Platform all in one great priced package. They offer a Free Trial, and the user friendly, My Business Site Package, is a complete Web Hosting and Development Solution for only $9.99 per month.
  • Blue Host

Tip: To check out a Hosting Company for to www.spamhaus.org and see if they have any substantial spam security issues.

Browser Test

It is important that your website looks and works uniformly from one browser to the next. If you use a good Web Development Platform, like 1 and 1, this should not be an issue. All the same, utilize www.anybrowser.com to check out how your web pages appear on different Browsers.

Favicons

Use Favicons, or small logos that are automatically “sensed” by your web visitors’ favorite browser bar, to make it easier to bookmark your website and serve as an easy reminder to clients.
