Sometimes The Cheapest Deals Are Not Necessary The Best

 

I would be the first person to testify to that if I were standing right in front of you now. Even if the Internet marketing promotion and advertising direct methods has been around for quite awhile, the business world online is rapidly evolving.

Here are the 3 steps to ensure that you maximize your advertising and promotional dollars. A wise business person knows best when to put his money into a product and when to hold back.

Step 1: Determining Your Core Target Market

Before I get shot down here let me just make a bold statement. This advice is really an old age, proven strategy but the best way to explain it is this way.

You can start out by drafting how your business will help the prospect either financially, physically or emotionally. Pin pointing the exact problem that your prospect faces and then seeing your product or services as a solution will indeed bring you to an immediate advantage point.

Step 2: Budget Versus Quality

We all know that today a web hosting solution can be ranging from $10 - $100 monthly for a good service. Its all good and the cheaper the better. However, for Internet marketing promotion and advertising online direct methods this will not be entirely true.

So, your mindset should be that when it comes to advertising, good quality prospects or leads comes with a hefty price. You can always do a quick research by checking out the feedback of customers who used that certain advertising deal.

Step 3: Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag

My biggest secret yet is this: find a really reliable source for advertising which does everything for you. If they’re good then repeat your internet marketing promotional activities again and again.

Once its all dried up move on to the next and repeat the entire process all over again. Sure, it takes some effort but its only worth a few days work for months or massive revenue. Call it passive income generation.

Even if you feel a little nervous because it is your first time using Internet marketing promotion and advertising online direct methods do not fear. Remember that life is too short and you must take risks to live life to the full.

If you ever written content for a landing page, especially one which has an obvious measure of success or failure, like a sign-up or download, then you’ve probably been through one of the most challenging (if not frustrating) experiences of a writer/content strategist.

I work with landing pages on almost a daily basis. These are mainly pages on which visitors have landed after being directed there by a PPC (pay per click) campaign. We measure results based on a visitor downloading a trial version of our products.

Yesterday, after two months and a dozen iterations, I tasted what I can definitely describe as success through content. A landing page for an analytical product suddenly began to perform.

Here’s how it went:

Recognizing the Initial Problem

We had something I could term as a Master Landing Page. It simply had everything anyone needed to know about two of our products, and was used extensively across a majority of our campaigns. This means whether a person was searching for “analytical reporting tool” or “database report” or “report writing” they would come to the same Master page. And over time, as the page showed some success, it had generally been extended to other campaigns as well, until about 60% of our campaigns were pointing at this one page regardless of the keyword.

By studying the results of these various campaigns over a period of time, it became clear that only a couple of campaigns were actually converting from the Master Landing page, while a few like Analytics were performing rather poorly.

Creating a Focused Landing pageWe first created a landing page, with new content and supporting material (case studies, brochures) that focused completely on analysis and what our product could do. What we also did was tailor the page content towards corporate analytical requirements, as our product was mainly an enterprise product.

Redesigning the PageWe then enhancing the visuals that supported our content, sample analytical reports, screenshots of the product, graphs charts etc. I had the download buttons placed regularly across the page so that our call to action was always visible regardless of how much a visitor scrolled.

Making the Content PersonalWhile reviewing the content, it seemed to me that the language was not direct enough. Talking on an enterprise level tends to be a little impersonal, and so we rewrote the content to be more on a first-person basis.

What are my Competitors Saying?I then went into research mode (something I should have ve done first) and looked at what our competitors were doing and adopted some of their good points into my page. Some of these activities included, making the page headline more visible, increasing the size of the download buttons, putting some important keywords/phrases in bold, linking to flash demonstrations.

Some of these activities included, making the page headline more visible, increasing the size of the download buttons, putting some important keywords/phrases in bold, linking to flash demonstrations.Performance still average.

At this point it must be noted, that point of comparison was against the Master Landing Page. When I say performance was average, visitors were downloading, but no more that they were on the Master Landing Page.

What do visitors want?Having also redone a lot of the ads (with much greater success) I was familiar with both the keywords and headlines that were bringing visitors to my page. So I went back to the basics: What can I say that answers/reemphasizes the headline that they clicked on? How do I bring the top keywords into the content? How do I make the content (which by now was a VERY long page) short and succinct?

How do I make the content (which by now was a VERY long page) short and succinct?After answering these questions, I finally began to see the results I was looking for.

So what worked? No doubt about it. ALL of the above.

The Winning Combination…Getting the right content on your landing page is a process. You have to try multiple ideas, and even harder, combinations of these ideas to see what’s going to work for you.

You have to try multiple ideas, and even harder, combinations of these ideas to see what’s going to work for you.This is what I think worked for me: focusing and personalizing the content, making the visuals and buttons larger and accessible, adding supporting material like flash demos and screenshots, ensuring top keywords were clearly visible on the page, and bringing the page content down to a single scroll.

…Trial & Error

It always seems obvious when we list it out like that, but when I applied these tactics to another poorly performing page… it just didn’t work, so here I go again. It’s tedious and frustrating to say the least, but when you hit the jackpot I can assure you, it will be worth it.

Are you looking for some web promotion advice? If you have answered yes to this question then this article could well be worth a read. I have been helping people to promote and market their websites for the last eight years and have gained a great deal of knowledge in this period. The rules of search engine optimisation and web promotion are constantly evolving, what worked well last year does not necessarily work well this year. I am one of those freaks who actually enjoys keeping up to date with any changes that occur in this ever changing industry.

So you have a website but what are your main keywords or key phrases of the site? As an example my main website is to do with speech therapy and is aimed at helping people who stutter to achieve fluency. My main keywords/phrases are therefore stutter, stuttering, stuttering therapy, stuttering treatment, stuttering advice and stuttering information amongst others.

It is important that these keywords appear on your homepage as this will help the main search engines, such as Google, to spider and find the site when it has its crawl. Be careful not to over do it however, I have seen some websites which include each of their key phrases about eight times each. This makes the site look very spammy and is likely to do more damage than good.

To obtain higher search engine rankings you also need to gain backward links, this is where other webmasters point a link to your site on their website. The link text they use should be from your list of main keywords. Do not just concentrate on promoting one word, try maybe three or four.

So how do you obtain these backward links? Firstly do not by them from a link broker! This should be standard practice however Google did a massive crackdown last year and it now goes against their guidelines. I would start by asking your friends and family if they would be willing to add a link on their personal and business websites. I also strongly believe in article marketing, this has produced some excellent results for me.

With the increasing competitive market of the internet it is becoming more and more difficult to create a profitable website without extensive knowledge of search engine optimization, web page development and content writing. I for one have spent countless hours searching for the right combination of SEO to provide the optimal profits for my business. After extensive trial and error, spending money on pay per click (PPC) and optimizing my code I have made a list of the key SEO terms, their functions, and their results. I have ordered these steps in accordance to priority and the easiest to start with if you are new to the online industry. Please note I am including terms without their definitions since they can be easily looked on Wikipedia or any search engine.

1. Submit manually to search engines. Don’t always trust the majority of organizations or make bold claims of submitting you to thousands of search engines without doing research first. The reason being is that all of the popular search engines require you to type in a randomly generated code of letters and numbers that are usually scribbled. I have most likely noticed this on many websites. That is to prevent automated submissions and spam. Find a list of the most popular search engines and do it yourself, or use my recommended piece of software at the end of this article. Contact me if you would like my personal list that I have created after experiencing the results.

2. Submit to directories for back links. Search engines now ranks your website on the amount of links from other sources that you have. Particularly highly ranked sources. A good way to determine if a directory is highly ranked is to look at their Google Page Rank. The higher the page rank the more important Google finds that website. I would recommend paying a company to submit you manually as there are literally thousands of directories out there. It is inexpensive and well worth it.

3. Submit articles that are relevant to your industry. Article writing has become more and more important in advertising and ranking your website. Let’s say you sell car parts online. Write an article about how to find the best deals on car parts, how you started your car part business, or educational articles on specific parts and provide a link at the end to your website. This works in two ways. One you receive a back link from a reliable source. Two it is basically free advertising. Be sure you are submitting to reputable site with high traffic and page rank.

4. Start a blog. As crazy at this may sound it is one of the best sources of traffic on the internet today. Why? Because they are the type of websites that are updated most frequently. Search engines also rank a site on how often the content is updated and the addition of new content. Blogs satisfy both of these requirements. How do you get traffic from your blog to your store? Create links at the end of each post and create advertisements on your sidebars. Visitors that enjoy reading your blog are most likely interested in your industry and products as well.

5. Coding in your website is essential. Search engines no longer ranks your site based on the META keywords tag since it can be so easily manipulated. Instead they base results on the TITLE tag, ALT Tags and Heading tags (both H1 and H2 tags). For brevities sake I will not elaborate on these tags since you can look them up in a search engine, but they are extremely important. Content is also crawled, but you will want to place your keywords, with a heavy density, in their appropriate tags.

The bottom line is there is no magic bullet or quick fix to get you high rankings. Most often it just takes time, typically 3 to 6 months to get ranked. However, I have received good rankings after about 30 days of aggressive marketing, following the above advice, and using a program call SEO Elite. What I have mentioned in this article is a very brief overview of where to get started with your SEO campaign, but if you are looking for a system to provide you the resources to maximize your profits online, I would highly recommend visiting the link below where I have provided more details on this progam.

Nowadays webmasters are using different methods to build links and drive traffic to their website. The methods which are commonly used are article submissions, reciprocal link exchanges, traffic exchanges and directory submissions. In this article you will read about directory submission as the method of promoting your site on the world wide web.

Web directory is a site which is organized according to different categories and subcategories. All the links which are submitted to a web directory are classified according to their categories. If you want your website to be accepted by a web directory then you have to submit it under most appropriate subcategory.

If your website is accepted in a web directory then you will get a quality one way link pointing towards your site. Greater will be the number of one way links pointing to your site better will be your rank on the search engine result pages.

You can submit your website to different web directories with the help of various methods. A website can be submitted to web directories manually or with the help of a semi automatic software. Some SEO companies also offer directory submission services. If you want to submit your site to several directories you should pay attention on the quality of directories. If you are submitting your site to a web directory then first of all you should check it`s google page rank. Sometimes you have to pay if you want your link to be included in a web directory and most of the directories also need a reciprocal link to be placed on your site.

1. Generate Traffic. To generate a lot of traffic to your site and gain recognition, you need to promote in as many places as you possibly can. Do not throw all your advertising dollars in only one or two spots. Try to determine or ask the amount of traffic they are generating. Sites generating huge traffic often require higher advertising rates. Be aware; however, that some sites requesting high advertising rates, may not necessarily be generating that much traffic. There are many sites out there that really offer a great deal and do not charge high rates. To generate more traffic find as many free places to advertise as you possibly can.

2. Target the Right Market. Try to find sites that target the type of audience you are marketing to. Example: Someone selling baby products should advertise at baby sites, mommy sites, networks, groups and forums where mommies hang out and visit frequently. Just because you may be a work-at-home mom doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself to just advertising at “WAHM” sites. Place your focus mainly where your targeted market will be, but find all similar possibilities to target as well. Example: If you sell educational products to career-minded young people, you would want to focus where young people of this age visit frequently, but you can also search for a few places to network where moms may visit who have teens getting ready to graduate from high school.

3. Visit Mom Sites. Spend time visiting other sites by moms and see where they are advertising. If they are displaying a banner on their site referring to some directory or networking site this gives you a clue that they may have exchanged links or listed in their directory for free in exchange for displaying their banner. Exchanging links with websites of similar content and products as yours will help with your search engine rankings and once again target your market. While you are visiting other sites by moms, be sure to sign their guest book while you are there. Many guest books allow you to add your website’s url.

4. Use the Search Engines. Use Google and Yahoo and do a search for “Free Advertising”, “List your URL”, “Add your URL”, “Add your Site”, “Free Site Promotion”, etc. Also include keywords you use for marketing your site. Just be cautious before spending money with any new sites you haven’t heard of before. You will probably be surprised at how many sites you find that still offer free advertising.

5. Go Local. There is a HUGE competition going on all over the internet especially for those who are promoting websites with direct sales. “Local” is gaining popularity…and for a good reason. If I decided to start buying Avon, for example, I would probably prefer to buy from someone locally. Use the search engines to do a search for free classified ads in your city and nearby locations. See if you can find any local networks, groups, forums, portals, directories, etc.

6. Write Articles or E-books. You don’t have to be a professional writer. Just find some great content, some interesting facts, some helpful hints, etc. Your article does not have to be very long at all. To get better results, write more frequent short articles than just a couple of big long ones now and then. Be sure to include your name and website at the end. If you offer a newsletter, promote it as well. After you write your article, submit it to as many places as you possibly can. Give permission to others to use your articles as long as they include your name and website address.

7. Start a Newsletter. Newsletters are a great way to generate repeat traffic. It reminds your customer or interested visitors about your site when they receive your newsletter. In your newsletter, be sure to encourage your subscribers to forward your newsletter to a friend. Include information about how they can easily subscribe to your newsletter. Offering your subscribers a chance to win a free gift will often help you receive more signups.

8. Add Content. Content helps get repeat visits to your site. Sites become stale without new content. If you have a site that you can edit, use plenty of good content, especially using keywords that the search engines will pick up particularly targeting your audience that you are marketing too. If you don’t have time to do this, there are lots of sites that offer “free content” and “free articles”. Just do a search on the search engines to locate them. You can use their content for your site instead of trying to write your own content.

9. Partner with Someone. Working at home can begin to seem like a long lonesome journey. Find someone you can connect with and trust. Exchange front page links or banners and help each other promote your businesses. You could even add your partner to your signature. For example, under your name and link place: Partner, Sherry - partnerdomain.com. Have your partner do the same for you. Write and promote a newsletter together; manage a networking group together. Partners can encourage each other and make the marketing road a little smoother.

10. Read and Learn. Marketing is an endless task that must be done to generate sales. The best tip I can give is to read and learn all you can about marketing and sales. You can do this on the internet as well as your local library. Find someone who is successful and get some of their best tips. If possible, set aside at least an hour or two each day promoting your business. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can create a website and traffic will automatically arrive. It just doesn’t happen. Behind each successful site is a hard worker who labored away to advertise and promote. You can do it too!
