Focus Your Internet Marketing Efforts Using These Tips

internet marketingYou have an item you want to market on the internet. Your friends and family like it. Surely you will find hundreds of customers out there among the millions who search the internet. You list your item. The response is dismal. What do you need to do?

Make sure you let people know about your site whenever you can. Whether it is via the internet, like in a forum, or directly to a live person, this is a great way to get the word out about your business. The people you tell will tell other people and your business is sure to grow.

Create a sense of urgency with deals your brand may be offering. If customers feel they only have a limited time for a fantastic offer, they will be more likely to follow through with a purchase. Note, however, that internet marketing sometimes can go overboard with begging customers to take action immediately, so be careful not to go overboard. Keep your “sense of urgency” respectful.

The smart webmaster tests his website on as many platforms as possible.   Please make sure that you track, track, track what you are doing.There are, at least, a half dozen different web browsers that render websites slightly differently, as well as, dozens of more less popular browsers. Wireless access adds more options for potential website platforms. When a website loads improperly on a particular platform, it represents lost potential sales, no matter how obscure the platform is.

Keywords

While keywords are very important, and you will want to use as many of them as you can in your site, beware of using too many as well. Search engine spiders are programmed to ignore sites that literally “stuff” their pages with keywords in order to be found. They are marked as spammers and actually show up lower in the search results or not at all.

In order to analyze your website and best promote it online, set up a suite of site analytics tools. These tools will show you what your viewers see when they look at your site, track what search engines and what keywords drive visitors, as well as, which pages people visit while they are viewing your site. These tools will be extremely helpful in marketing your site.

If you want to increase site traffic and improve search engine optimization, it is absolutely critical that your site has original, unique content. This is especially important for online retailers who are selling the same products as a number of other sites, and each site is using the same manufacturer’s product description. By writing your own unique product descriptions, while using important keywords, you will be able to blow away the competition.

Some have characterized the internet markets as a vast junkyard. Scrolling through the listings on E-Bay, you may agree. What you need is a way for the quality of your product to shine through. Your digital photo and a well-worded description are a good start. You may need to be patient, but word-of-mouth advertising from your buyers is the best thing.

The key is to never give up and just keep trying different things – there is no magic formula from what I see – it’s just staying consistent, keeping you and your content out there and it will happen.  Would love your comment on what is working for you and sure my readers would love to hear – don’t be shy and leave us a comment.

Another strange place for helping with your keyword research – how about floating around on a tube on the lazy river at an indoor waterpark – I know – it sounds crazy – ….the only problem is not letting those darn keywords float on down the river when you get out! hehehe.

Backlinks – what they are and why so important

Backlinks are simply a text link from another website to your website. Backlinks is how your rank on major search engines is determined.

Search engines figure if you have a lot of links coming from other websites to your website then your website must be more relevant. The more relevant a search engine thinks your site is… the better ranking you get.

There are some key things to keep in mind when creating your backlinks and these are what I use.

You want to make sure that you are creating a quality link – what is a quality link. A quality link comes from a site that has similiar subject matter, has been around for awhile and has a page ranking already.

Another thing that Google watches for with the backlinks is the popularity of your site – the freshness – that is why it’s important to keep new blog post out there.

What I do, as stated in earlier post – writing is really not my cup of tea – but when the moods hits – I will write multiple posts and then I schedule them to post every other day.

Also to help me, I jot down notes of things that I run across that would be good blog post so when I am in that wriiting mood – they just flow – believe me this works.

Don’t forget an important reason for backlinks is getting visitors to your site. If you have left a nice comment, people do click on your link to see what else you have to say.

I barely skimmed the surface here on backlinking but do like I do and make Google Search your best friend. Another tip that I have found when doing my keyword research – is to find blogs in the Google Search and add comments to those blogs – you get the idea – just takes action everyone.

Keywords and why they are so important

When I first started , I had no clue what a keyword was even must less how to use them properly. I struggled with them for a long time trying to guess what others would type in when they were trying to find me.

It wasn’t until the classes that I’m taking with The Leaders Rolethat I have learned the importance of the right keywords. So I’m going to tell you some of my experiences so that you can see the difference.

When I first started adding keywords, I made mine so general as I have a website that I sell home and garden decor. Even then I added keywords like gardening, garden decor, home decor, angels, windchimes, gazing globes and wondered why I never got any traffic to my site.

After Jason showed us how in The Leaders Role – wow did my eyes open. I was using keywords that everyone was competing for and this was no way I could ever do that – so who is going to find me if I’m on page 34 out of million pages – just wasn’t going to happen.

So now, being taught the proper way to do keyword research – yea I said research – yea I now I didn’t know that either lolol. I have been able to narrow my target down and went back and changed my keywords and guess what – I’m on the first pages now and the best part is I know that these keywords and keyword phrases are being look for – don’t that sound alot easier????
