Two Basic Parts of a Low Cost Web Site Promotion

Anybody could own a web site. Anybody could up sell their own products and services to their target audience. Anyone could try to promote their web site with a low cost. But there are not many web sites that have a truly successful web site with traffic all day through. What these individuals or companies lack is the most essential factor of success – a low cost web site promotion that really works.

Search Engine Submission and Ranking are the two basic parts to a low cost web site promotion. Both of the parts have the same effect on the market of the web site – for your products and services presented in your web site catches the people’s attention.

The first inexpensive method of web site promotion is the search engine submission. Just fill in some information and submit your web site to search engines. There are two types of Search engine submission – manual and automatic. For a low cost and effective web site promotion, automatic submission is ideal because after filling up the information, a software program would forward this information to other search engines.

The second money-saving web site promotion is ranking.  This refers to the numerical position in which your web site appears on a search engine, based upon the web site’s criteria. Some search engines rank the order in which your search results appear primarily by how many other web sites link to each page. The leading web sites on this order would eventually fulfill a low cost web site promotion.

Other types of inexpensive web site promotion you could use to boost up traffic on your web site are banner advertising, classified ads, text links and section sponsorship. Banner advertisements pop up above and below web pages, and sometimes in another window. Text links and section sponsorship may cost more, but these methods helps in promoting to your specified target audience. It wouldn’t harm your web site to try these methods.

The A-Z of Internet Marketing (Part 28)

Today's tip is especially important for online marketers. You need to have a squeeze page made in order to build your list of potential customers. Here are some do's to take into consideration when coming up with your squeeze page from the series on the A-Z of Internet marketing. Read on...

137. Hοw tο Mаkе a Squeeze Page – Tip 1

 

Fοr starters, write 1 paragraph οf persuasive text аnd thеn combine іt wіth a form generated bу уουr autoresponder. (This form is called opt-in form.)

138. Hοw tο Mаkе a Squeeze Page – Tip 2

 

Always keep thе opt-іn form above thе fold. Thіѕ hаѕ bееn shown tο significantly increase conversion rates. It is best if people don't need to scroll down to see your opt-in form.

139. Hοw tο Mаkе a Squeeze Page – Tip 3

 

Always include a line οf text thаt ехрlаіnѕ thаt уου hаtе spam аnd wіll nοt sell thе information οf people whο opt-іn under аnу circumstances. This is S.O.P. (standard operating procedure). It also provides assurance to your potential sign-ups that their information is safe.

140. Hοw tο Mаkе a Squeeze Page – Tip 4

 

Split test уουr original salesletter against one thаt uses a custom opt-іn form wіth arrows pointing аt thе blank fields. If thіѕ аррrοасh works better, adopt іt over уουr original form.


(to be continued...)

Split testing your ads is important. Consider it consumer feedback on which of your ads works best. You do want to know what types of ad formats work and get more click -throughs so you don't waste time and money on ad campaigns that don't work.

More interesting tips and pointers from the series on the A-Z of Internet marketing.. ^_^ Are you thinking of launching a product? Today's feature is for you.. read on.. 

133. Hοw tο Launch a Product – Tip 1

 

An іmрοrtаnt раrt οf аnу launch іѕ getting οthеr marketers involved. Spend thе time tο find potential business partners; аnd tο encourage thеm tο gеt involved bу offering monetary incentives, such аѕ lаrgеr commissions fοr launch-event sales.

134. Hοw tο Launch a Product – Tip 2

 

Sometimes, getting high-profile people involved wіth уουr launch іѕ more іmрοrtаnt thаn earning commissions frοm thеm. Consider emailing a few high profile individuals іn уουr niche аnd offering tο lеt thеm hаνе 100% commissions οn thе launch date.

135. Hοw tο Launch a Product – Tip 3

 

Instead οf putting thе product up fοr sale аnd starting thе marketing campaign аt thе same time, ѕtаrt thе marketing campaign first. Crеаtе a salesletter аnd рυt a countdown timer οn іt. Talk аbουt іt іn forums аnd οn уουr blog.

136. Hοw tο Launch a Product – Tip 4

 

Provide joint venture partners, affiliates, аnd others involved іn уουr launch event wіth promotional materials. Thе better prepared thеу аrе, thе more sales уου саn expect.

The A-Z of Internet Marketing (Part 25)

At least once a week, the series on the A-Z of Internet marketing is featured here on this blog. It's one of my favorite series as it contains a lot of valuable tips and advice. Whether you're a newbie or a pro, the series will help you out a lot! Keep on reading ^_^

126. Hοw tο Improve Yουr Search Engine Ranking Positions – Tip 1

 

One easy way tο improve уουr search engine ranking positions іѕ tο рυrсhаѕе ghostwritten articles thаt аrе optimized fοr particular keywords. Yου саn thеn upload thеѕе articles tο уουr site. Once Google аnd οthеr search engines spider уουr site, those pages wіll appear more favorably іn thе rankings.

127. Hοw tο Improve Yουr Search Engine Ranking Positions – Tip 2

 

Another way tο improve уουr search engine ranking positions іѕ tο сrеаtе a blog аѕ аn extension οf уουr site. Yου саn thеn ping thе blog, whісh wіll generate one-way, inbound links tο уουr site οn blog directories.

128. Hοw tο Improve Yουr Search Engine Ranking Positions – Tip 3

 

One way tο improve уουr SERPs іѕ tο write articles аnd add thеm tο article directories. Thіѕ wіll generate one-way, inbound links tο уουr site frοm high-PR sites.

129. Hοw tο Improve Yουr Search Engine Ranking Positions – Tip 4

(to be continued)
I've been reading and learning a lot about the topic of SEO (search engine optimization). I must say I'm also applying some of those stuff that I've learned on my main site. SEO isn't that hard to learn. If you're on a budget, which most of us who are just starting out are, then you can try doing things on your own. It does take a little more patience, persistence, and perseverance. Over time, results are more visible.

Planning Your Thanksgiving Party on a Budget

Are you hosting a Thanksgiving party this year?  If so, how much do you intend to spend on your party?  Unfortunately, a large number of party hosts do not have as much money to spend on their party as they wish they had.  While this may make you want to change your mind, about hosting a Thanksgiving party, it doesn’t have to. There are a number of different ways that you can go about planning a memorable Thanksgiving party while on a budget.

One of the best ways to plan a Thanksgiving party on a budget is to develop a plan for everything. You will want to plan what types of foods you would like to serve at your party, how many guests you would like to invite, and what forms of entertainment you would like to have on hand.  Making a detailed list of everything mentioned above is the best way to determine how much money you could expect to pay for everything that you want.  Now, it is important to remember that what you could expect to pay might not necessarily be what you could afford to pay; that is where the budgeting comes in. 

After you have created a list of what you need to purchase, including food and other party supplies, you will need to determine exactly how much money you have to spend on your Thanksgiving party.  If you notice a difference between what you want to spend and what you have to spend, you may find that you need to cut a few corners.  While it is nice to have the Thanksgiving party of your dreams, you will not want to go broke while doing so. If you eliminate a certain type of food or a number of guests, to cut down your costs, you may easily be able to add them back on, depending on how much money you save when shopping for all of your needed Thanksgiving party supplies.

If you want to save money, when purchasing the supplies needed for your Thanksgiving party, as you likely do, there are number of different steps that you can take to make that happen.  Perhaps, the most important step to take is buying your food whenever you see it on sale, especially if you need to have a large amount of food.  Whether your party includes snacks or a full pledge Thanksgiving dinner, you can save yourself a fairly large amount of money by purchasing your food or drinks while they are on sale.  Typically, in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, you will find that many grocery stores lower the prices on their most popular Thanksgiving foods and cooking supplies.  This may be the best time to get your shopping done.

Since a party really isn’t complete without decorations, you may wish to purchase party decorations for your home.  For the largest selection of Thanksgiving decorations, it is advised that you purchase your decorations as soon as they hit the store shelves.  Unfortunately, it seems as if many retail stores skip Thanksgiving and jump right to Christmas.  This means that many retail stores are limited on the number of Thanksgiving decorations they carry and when they are gone, they are often gone.  For the most affordable Thanksgiving decorations, you are advised to shop at discount stores, dollar stores, and department stores.  However, since there is a good chance that thousands of other shoppers are looking to get the same deals as you, it is important that you act fast, while you still have the chance.

Along the lines of Thanksgiving party decorations is party seating.  Whether you are hosting a formal Thanksgiving party, complete with a sit-down dinner, or just a casual party, there is a good chance that you may need extra chairs and tables. Your first impulse may be to buy them yourself, but you can save money by renting extra furniture from one of your local rental stores, particularly a party rental store.  You can also get extra tables and chairs, for free, by asking those that you know if they have any seating arrangements that you could borrow. 

The tips mentioned above are just a few of the many ways that you can plan a Thanksgiving party on a budget.  With the right amount of planning, it may be a well-kept secret that your party was not only easy to plan, but easy to afford.

Is Blogging For Everyone?

Blogging is by now not a new phenomenon. It basically involves the creation of an online journal which is displayed in reverse chronological order. The blogger who is maintaining the blog may opt to post new blog entries as often as he/she desires. This may involve posting new entries more than once per day, daily, weekly, monthly or even at a less frequent interval. The postings in a blog are typically related in some way but they can be about any subject the blogger desires. Bloggers may maintain a blog for a number of different reasons and these blogs may be private or public in nature. This article will describe the difference between a private and public blog and will also explain blogging professionally as well as blogging for personal reasons.

Private vs. Public Blogs

Blogs can also be private or public. Private blogs are ones in which only the blogger and others who have been approved by the blogger can view the blog postings. Public blogs are available to any users of the Internet. A blogger may opt to make a blog private or public depending on whether or not he is comfortable with others reading the blog. For example a blogger who creates a blog for the purpose of venting about frustrations in life may opt to keep a blog private so friends or family members are not able to read these vents. Conversely a blogger who is blogging for a purpose such as to promote a cause will likely opt to make the blog public so his message can reach as many Internet users as possible. However, bloggers who create a blog to express themselves through their writing, poetry or other form of expression may opt to make the blog private or public depending on whether or not they want to make these personal feelings available to others. Some bloggers in this situation will make the blog public because they want to reach others who may either share their feelings or may benefit from reading their blogs. There may be other bloggers in this situation who will make the blog private because they do not want others to see these personal forms of expression.

Blogging Professionally

Blogging can actually be done as a source of income for some bloggers. There are a number of companies who maintain a network of bloggers and pay bloggers to maintain a blog in the network. These bloggers may be compensated per post, according to the number of page views the blog receives or through a combination of the number of posts and the number of page views. A career as a blogger requires a great deal of dedication. The blogger must be willing and able to update the blog regularly and to keep the blog interesting to readers.

Blogging for Personal Reasons

Blogging can also be done for personal reasons. Some bloggers use their blog to stay in touch with family and friends while others use it to express themselves or to share information with others. Blogs created for personal reasons can be a great deal of fun but the blogger must be sure to avoid allowing the process of maintaining the blog to become a stressful situation. A blog which is maintained for personal reasons should be an enjoyable experience for the blogger.

3 Reasons Why Adsense Is Essential For Content Sites

To know why Adsense is essential for your content sites is to know first how this works.

The concept is really simple, if you think about it. The publisher or the webmaster inserts a java script into a certain website. Each time the page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads that are targeted should therefore be related to the content that is contained on the web page serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the search engine for the click.

The search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for webmasters to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without having the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a time-consuming task in itself. It seems that there is never a shortage of advertisers in the program from which the search engine pulls the Adsense ads. Also webmasters are less concerned by the lack of information search engines are providing and are more focused in making cash from these search engines.

The first reason why Adsense is essential for content sites is because it already has come a long way in understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. Together with its continuous progression is the appearance of more advanced system that allows full ad customization. Webmasters are given the chance to choose from many different types of text ad formats to better complement their website and fit their webpage layout.

The different formatting enables the site owners the possibility of more click through from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. It can also appeal to the people visiting thus make them take that next step of looking up what it is all about. This way the people behind the Adsense will get their content read and making profit in the process.

The second reason is the ability of the Adsense publishers to track not only how their sites are progressing but also the earnings based on the webmaster-defined channels. The recent improvements in the search engines gives webmasters the capability to monitor how their ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. Webmasters and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Trends are also easily spotted.

With the real-time reporting at hand, the effectiveness of the changes made will be assessed quickly. There would be time to sort out the contents that people are making the most clicks on. The ever-changing demands would be met while generating cash for the webmasters and publishers. The more flexible tools are also allowing webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which will provide them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.

The last and final reason is that the advertisers have realized the benefits associated having their ads served on targeted websites. Thus increasing the possibility that a prospective web surfer will have an interest in their product and services. All because of the content and its constant maintenance. As opposed to those who are not using Adsense in their sites, they are given the option of having other people do their content for them, giving them the benefit of having successful and money-generating web sites.

Adsense is all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is, the more target the search engines’ ads will be. There are some web masters and publishers who are focused more on their site contents and how best to maintain them rather than the cash that the ads will generate for them. This is the part where the effectiveness is working its best.

There was a time when people were not yet aware of the money to be earned from advertisements. The cash generated only came into existence when the webmasters and publishers realized how they can make Adsense be that generator. In those days, the content were the most important factors that is taken quite seriously. It still is, because of the income potential.
