(Franchise reviews) Best Website Design Tips

By Steve Weber

  When linking back to your home page, many people link back to index.html or some version of that. Remember, it’s very important when you link back to your home page from the other pages on your site that you simply give the full URL and that’s it. For example, if your home page address is www.yourpage.com, then your link would simply be http://www.yourhomepage.com. Don’t link back using the index or anything else on the end. This is confusing to search engines, as there will be multiple styles of the URL linking to the same page. It can cause duplicate content issues.

Make sure that your site is registered with Google Webmaster Tools. Go to Webmaster tools, register your account there, verify your domain, and upload your site map and tell Google what your site map’s URL is. Your site map can be generated by any number of means. There are several free options on the web to generate site map with. The site map is simply a way for Google to easily see all the links on your site.

All the content on your site must be original content. You cannot copy content from even your own site’s other pages. Say you have another web site along the same theme as another web site. You can’t bring the content from another web site over to your new web site. That will create duplicate content issues, and Google will penalize the site significantly.

Always link to all the pages in your site from the content of your other pages. In other words, don’t just use the navigation system, (the linking structure in the left hand side of the page or the top of the page), but also link within the content of pages to other pages on your site.

When you get your site complete, submit its links to various directories.. Also, write numerous articles and submit those to ezinearticles.com. Another great way to get back links is by creating videos and submitting those to video directories such as YouTube and Yahoo videos.

Keep adding content to your web site. On a regular basis be in the habit of adding a page or two a week to your web site. Also, it’s very important to note that when you do get pages ranking well for a given key word, you want to be very careful about adjusting any content on that page. If I had a page ranking on the first page of Google for a given key word, I would be very careful about changing anything about that page. What I would do instead is to go out and get as many links as possible back to that page using the above mentioned methods

Top Five Insider Secrets to Building a HUGE List Lightening Fast

By sumit001

  Aspiring professional Internet marketers should understand that building a big list is the key to financial success. It’s the difference between becoming an Internet marketing “hobbyist” making a few hundred bucks per week, and a professional Internet Entrepreneur who makes a comfortable full time living from home in his or her pajamas.

As a seasoned 6 year full-time Internet veteran and mentor, I have selected 5 of the most powerful, most up-to-date list building secrets my top students are using to build huge lists at lightning speed. Use these secret techniques in your own marketing campaigns and watch your list and your bank account grow like wild vines in the springtime.

Secret #1: Define your target market

Before spending one minute of your precious time driving traffic to your website, you should first write down who your target market is and what characteristics they might possess. From there, you can quickly determine where these people might shop, eat, live and most importantly, where they surf on the Internet. I’m sure most people would agree that selling porn to a priest, marketing a multi-million dollar home on craigslist or running a “drug free” campaign in High Times magazine would be a complete waste of time in most cases!

Secret #2: Give Crack Samples to the Information Junkies Via Auto Responder

Most of your clients and customers must have three things before they will buy your product(s) and services(s). They must be salivating at the mouth for more of your information after you’ve given them a sample, they must have some sort of urgency to buy your product and they must have M-O-N-E-Y. Don’t market to people who are broke!

In the heart of the information age, it’s no secret that most people are eager to exchange their name and email address for a free sample or a “snipit” of useful information via your autoresponder. In fact, every day there are tens of millions of people surfing the Internet in search of useful information on everything from how to fix a broken toilet handle to how to get mega rich on the Internet overnight. If you sell information products (which you should be), all you have to do is write a few great articles or a “top 5″ list (or “top 10″) like this one and then give it away for FREE through your autoresponder. If your article is written correctly i.e. if your free crack sample is good, most people with money to will gladly pay you for more.

Secret #3: Follow the “Relevancy Rule”

It still amazes me how many Internet marketers get this wrong. For example, you simply cannot give away a chance to win a free IPOD in exchange for someone’s information and actually believe these people are interested in anything you are selling. If you are running a contest for people that have already signed into your list, then this is fine but in most cases this technique will not produce results on the front end. You might end up with an enormous list, but 99.9% of these people will never respond to anything you send to them in the future, and a lot of them will even mark your future email(s) as spam, which is not good.

Secret #4: Become an “Editor” and not a “Writer”

Throughout the years, I have noticed that a good percentage of Internet marketers are NOT good article writers. But most people can take someone else’s articles, emails, sales letters and press releases and put their own “spin” on them to make them their own. Even some of the most skilled writers would rather edit someone else’s work rather than write their own stuff from scratch. This saves hours of valuable time and time is just as important as money.

Secret #5: The “Horizontal Mambo” Usually Happens “After” the First Date

Just because you are able to drive targeted traffic to your website with a nicely crafted landing page that captures people’s information in exchange for a free eBook or other free information does not mean you are going to “score.” And if you do score on the first date, it still doesn’t mean that you are done. As Sir Mix-a-Lot once said “Some punks like to hit it and quit it, but I’d rather stay and Play.” If a customer buys something from you immediately, just think of all the other great stuff they might buy from you over the next several years!

In order to make sales in the future, or if you didn’t score on the first date, you should make sure the messages in your auto responder are well crafted and provide a call to action. It’s your job to provide some sort of urgency to get your prospects to do whatever it is you want them to do. Some suggestions would be: one-time-offers, coupons or discounts, special events (webinar or in person), “limited time only” offers, etc.

Keep in mind that you also need to have a delicate balance. You cannot send a sales letter every day to your list for 3 weeks. You must provide information and then ask for the sale. Provide more information and then ask for the sale and so on. In other words, you have to create the need for something and then show your customers the solution to that need.
