Simple Steps To More Traffic

If you own a website, getting more traffic to it is one of your most challenging goals. After all, if you are selling something, you need people to see what it is your selling and where they can buy it, right? So, how does one go about getting more traffic?
Well, there are the traditional ways, such as signing up to a myriad of traffic exchanges and spending all your time viewing other websites just so you can get a few hundred others to see yours. On the other hand, you could join a co-op that would present your website to others to see without you having to sit all day, tapping the mouse. The benefit? Free time to do as you please, when you please, or to just take care of other aspects of your business.
One such co-op, MTE Advertising Co-op, is a perfect place to start . For a small monthly charge, they will make sure your site is viewed by thousands. You?ll be able to advertise with your URL (web address), using banners and/or text links. In addition to this, you?ll also have the option to utilize a very reliable autoresponder that will enable you to build a list of customers and potential customers. That way you?ll be able to keep your list updated with new offerings, updates or other pertinent news associated with your business.
Another workable option is through LinkGrand where for a mere $5.00 you can have your site seen by as many as 1,000 other members and potential shoppers for your product(s). Here, you?ll also have the ability to earn a little extra cash by viewing other sites. Each site (or ad) that you view will earn you money.
One option I?ve found to be highly successful is Business World List. The number of people who could potentially see your site numbers in the hundreds of thousands. They have a very large membership who are looking for what you may have to offer. This is a free to join site so you?ll be able to gauge your success rate before deciding to become a member and take advantage of the whole array of advertising options available to you. As a paying member, you?ll also have the ability to earn a residual income on others you may recruit as members once they become paying members.
In any case, you?ll want to take some time and seriously consider any advertising you choose to do. Whether it be a pay per click program such as Google?s Adwords or a traffic exchange where you get visitors by looking at other peoples websites. Each, in their own right, hold their own merits. It really depends on how much time and/or money you?re willing to invest into your business. As with any business, there is always an investment you must make in order to get people into your store (or website). Consider carefully, all your options before choosing one or the other. Try them before you buy them, so to speak.
The Important Ingredients Of A Photography WebSite Website Video
Posted by SEO SERVICES in Video Production on July 23rd, 2010
KICKPICS Website - Professional Martial Arts Photography,(Video), found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjpI6u4Komo is an example of a photography website video. The two essential components of any successful photography website video are a set of photographs to display and nice background music that will complement the photographs. A third important factor is the spacing between photograph to photograph. This video uses a gap of about 5 seconds. This is enough time to see each photograph, but not too much time so that the viewer will get bored.
While many of the photographs in this web video are of amateur kick boxing, the video as a whole is immensely popular on You Tube, having racked up over 100,000. The essential ingredient that makes this video so appealing, is the effect generated by the interaction of the background music with the photographs. The background music consists of a male and female rap song. And the repartee between the male and female rapper contrasts very effectively with the martial arts photographs. As we view a photograph of a man with his foot pressed against the face of his fellow combatant, we hear the male and female rapper engaged in an even more primal warfare, the combat between the sexes.
The fun of watching this video is watching the boxers featured in the photographs seeking to break down the guard of their opponent, while listening to the male rapper trying to and ultimately succeeding in breaking through the defense of the female rapper. “I want you on my team,” he says, “So does everyone else,” she replies.
A male combatant viciously kicking his opponent with a heavily shoes foot, reminds us that the male rapper is viciously competing with other men for the attention of the female rapper.
“Just let your guard down,” the male rapper says, “Don’t get mad, don’t be mean,” “Don’t get mad, don’t be mean,” she repeats. The music reminds us that this real primal combat of life is for something good something positive. Not ultimately me against you, but me with you. Once the male rapper can break through the female rapper’s defense, he can get to something soft and nice. And the female rapper who starts out as his combatant can become his friend.
Although the video is not meant as an advertisement for martial arts, it does awaken an interest in the field, as it shows us that the principles of martial arts apply to other struggles in life, including love. A viewer might decide he should take some martial arts training, as well, as that will sharpen up his ability to be successful with women. At the same time, the video is definitely liable to interest viewers in seeing the photography website. There is a link at the bottom of the video and the webmaster reports getting an overall 7,000 hits per month to his website.
Football And Website Marketing
Posted by SEO SERVICES in Marketing and Advertising on July 12th, 2009
Well here we are just about to start football season again. I read in the paper and in some magazines about the draft and the outrageous salaries that go out to players and coaches. Everything is so high profile and to watch some of the players is actually quite amusing. Most of the well known players seem to really take offense if they are not paid gobs and gobs of money for the work they do. I relate this to website marketing in a unique way. Football players are paid to provide performance. As long at they perform, they stay under contract. Staying on the payroll is a good thing, and occasionally if they have an outstanding season, they demand a raise.
Website marketing can be thought of in the same way. You, the website owner, are the coach and it?s up to you to find the players that are going to perform for your team. There are lots of players out there to choose from. Some players have natural enemies in the form of competition. Some players sit the bench and others are overpaid and under perform. Ever have an adwords campaign that really did not work? That is a player that needs to be fired. Overhauling them or rehabilitating them really does not do much either. You have to start fresh.
Start thinking about your article writers as team members. Are they in shape? Do they practice? Do they follow directions and the plays? Do they follow your lead and give you what you want? Link builders can also be team members. Actually anyone that you hire out has that performance accountability. You might as well get used to the idea that not all of your players are going to stay. Some need to be benched immediately and some move up to the starting roster. Don?t get discouraged if your star draft pick turns out to be a dud or even worse pulls up an injury. Finding the right people does not usually come from one company. You have to look around for them. Some you will find by word of mouth, some on Elance, some from a website you heard about and some from people you train yourself. The best team is the one that is hand picked and groomed. Incentives always seem to work well with performance based players. Don?t be afraid to give the stars the royal interview and splash their name around, they love it.
So how do you start? Well outsourcing is always a good idea, so copy what other people are doing. You?re in competition right? Do what works. Look all over the place. If you?re trying to rank well on Google, then put Google to work for you. Look in classifieds, and forums where these people hang out. Think of it as keyword research. You would not do a lousy job with something that is so important. Keep a file and a list so that you can be organized. Soon you will have the team you always wanted, and the cost to get them will not matter very much.
