Analyzing Website Traffic 2007-11-27 21:34:00 Analyzing your web traffic statistics can be an invaluable tool for a number of different reasons. But before you can make full use of this tool, you need to understand how to interpret the data.Most web hosting companies will provide you with basic web traffic information that you then have to interpret and make pertinent use of. However, the data you receive fromyour host company can be overwhelming if you don't understand how to apply it to your particular business and website. Let's start by examining the most basic data - theaverage visitors to your site on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.These figures are the most accurate measure of your website's activity. It would appear on the surface that the more traffic you see recorded, the better you can assume your website is doing, but this is an inaccurate perception. You must also look at the behavior of your visitors once they come to your website to accurately gauge the effectiveness of your site.There is often a great miscon Read more:Analyzing

Unfortunately, some individuals actually end up worse off than they did in the beginning of their quest. Why? The answer is a bit complicated.It is important to know yourself when searching for a home based business. Acknowledging what you excel at and your weaknesses is significant. You will enter a process of honesty when assessing your skills.

Are you the type of person that doesn’t talk much to others and doesn’t mind keeping to yourself?Yet, you may possess great organizational skills and love to write.

Network Marketing Opportunities 2007-11-25 01:24:00 by Genevieve HawkinsIf you are looking for a way to make money without investing much time and money, network marketing may be an opportunity for you. Network marketing encompasses a wide range of different products and services, and is increasingly conducted online. Although the payment plans vary, it usually involves getting a commission for finding customers for a business as well as finding other recruiters to find customers.The idea of network marketing has been around since long before the rise of the Internet. If I am a real estate mortgage lender, I might make several thousand dollars in commission for one mortgage deal on a new house. If you happen to have a brother that is interested in buying a home and you send him to me, I might pay you a commission for the referral. In this way, both sides are happy--I am doing a service by providing your brother with something he already wants, and you are happy because you've received a commission for advice on where to go.

Small Business Opportunities 2007-11-18 10:19:00 by Robert MacSmall
business opportunities are causing the Internet to burst at the seams; you can also find them in the newspaper, specialty magazines, and through the SBA (Small Business
Administration). Running a small business can be a very rewarding experience--being your own boss teaches you a lot of new skills--but it requires a lot of dedication as well. Small business opportunities that promise only the benefits are missing half the equation.Approach Small BusinessOpportunities
CautiouslyMany small business opportunities are nothing more than get-rich-quick schemes that tend to not pay off in the long run. While it's possible to start a small business with a relatively little financial investment, the time you invest is more precious ... and you'll never get it back. Be prepared to devote a lot of time to a new small business, and be wary of opportunities that gloss over this.Ultimately, the best small business for you is one that incorporates your strengths and interests.

Business Opportunities - Earn Income From Home 2007-11-18 10:15:00 by Robert MacBusiness
opportunities are around every corner; it just takes the entrepreneur with the right eye to see them. Ray Kroc, for example, saw a small restaurant that a pair of brothers ran like an assembly line. He saw the potential of the business, bought it, and even kept the brothers' name: McDonald's. Now McDonald's are around every corner.There are plenty of other business opportunities that are ripe for the picking; they just need to find the right partner. A business and a business owner have to get along just like a husband and wife because they are a team. If the match isn't right, there could be a rocky relationship ahead--maybe even a divorce.Business Opportunities
Become Realities with the Right PartnersTake a look at Tupperware, or Mary Kay Cosmetics. Those are examples of business opportunities that succeeded and became business models. Why? Simple: there was a great fit between the business and the operators. These businesses made it because the women who ra Read more:Income

Online Marketing 2007-11-18 10:08:00 by Jeremy HorelickIf online marketing hasn't already become a college major in its own right, it's well on its way. The traditional avenues used to promote products--newspapers, radio, TV, movies, and magazines--are growing more and more outmoded each day. And those who can still afford to advertise through these channels are rewarded with an increasingly segmented audience.In the olden days--well, about 30 years ago, anyway--television advertisers could expect to capture roughly one-third of the TV-watching audience with one spot. Granted, the national population was considerably smaller, but there were also fewer distractions competing for viewers' time. These days, a media-savvy kid might be busy listening to MP3s, watching online movie trailers, and text messaging his or her friends while your $100,000 ad is droning on in the background.Turn to Online Marketing

Web Site Marketing 2007-11-14 02:40:00 by Liza HartungAnyone who owns and runs a website knows how hard it can be to get people to click on your site. You might be selling a cure for cancer, but if no one knows about your site, you won't sell a single thing. On the flip side, you could be selling something that no one needs, but if you have hundreds of people a day visiting your page, you could be the world's next millionaire. What do some people know that others don't? What's the big secret to getting your page or product out there? It's all about marketing. You have to be clever and strategic. There isn't just one way to skin a cat, as they say, but you certainly have to skin it. If you simply set up your site, sit back and grab a drink, don't be surprised when nothing happens. In fact, about 85 percent of all websites rarely or never see any action because they are designed by artists instead of people who know marketing. Of course, there is always the regular kind of marketing. These are things like putting ads Read more:Marketing

Social search: Capitalize on brand buzz 2007-11-13 17:44:00 By Ron BelangerJust when you've mastered paid and organic search, along comes a third alternative. Yahoo's VP of agency development tells you how to start a social search strategy. Search marketing has never been the easiest of marketing disciplines to master. Launching a successful search practice has traditionally meant developing excellence in both organic search and paid search, which are two very different practices. Now that many agencies and in-house teams have at least a rudimentary grasp of these two different areas of digital marketing, the landscape has become even more complex. Enter the rise of social search. Social
search can be defined as a third and distinct area of search marketing. Rather than an algorithm or an auction-based ad system providing results, social search is the community of web users who are the authors of such answers. For example, Yahoo! Answers, just one of the social search engines out there, boasts 90 million users and 250 mil
The future of search: no keywords 2007-11-12 17:38:00 By Matt KainA new way of delivering search results will make it easier on searchers, but will it eliminate the need for SEO? A 24/7 Real Media SVP discusses the issue. When you really look at it, search query language is pretty odd. Imagine the conversation in keywords, if you were looking for an apartment. You'd walk up to the man in the first floor apartment and say, "Two-bedroom sublet NYC." The super would answer "http colon slash slash dub-dub-dub dot 2-bedroom sublet NYC arm-and-a-leg dot com." What if you could deliver search results based not on exactly matching words or phrases, but instead on context and relevance? What if the right site were delivered to the right user, even if he or she misspelled a word, or didn't even pick the right keyword or phrase? That sure would get us past the monkey-see, monkey-do era of search. You know, press the bar; get the cheese. Pick the right word; get the right page. Most of the time, this kind of search works prett
Has Paid Search Gone Too Far? 2007-11-12 17:33:00 By Paul BruemmerIn light of the recent eBay-Google spat, how much should you invest in paid search, and how can you supplement those dollars with other marketing techniques? Okay, we're not saying that paid search engine marketing is irrelevant, but when the client brand is very well established, paid search can be less critical to strategic success than when the brand is not. Case in point: the recent eBay face-off with Google. You'll recall that on June 12, 2007, one of Google's biggest AdWords customers, eBay, cancelled all of its Google PPC ads in protest of Google's bid to entice and invite eBay customers to use its rival payment system, Google Checkout. Hitwise General Manager Bill Tancer tracked eBay's experiment on his blog. He noted that in advance of the rift, "Google is eBay's #1 source of traffic, accounting for 10.6 percent of its traffic on Tuesday, 6/7/07." But despite numbers indicating that Google generated considerable traffic for eBay, when Read more:Search
3 overlooked ways to draw searchers 2007-11-11 18:58:00 By Jeff PetryPowered Inc.'s senior marketing director provides some easily implemented techniques for expanding your brand's natural search footprint. Without a doubt, search is the centerpiece of marketing on the web. Over 90 percent of internet users regularly use the top-five search engines -- accounting for what�s been estimated as an average of some 6.2 billion searches per month -- to find products, services and information. The Internet Advertising Bureau states it�s the single largest category of online marketing spend. Everybody�s using it and everybody�s doing it. So is your search engine marketing strategy reaching its maximum potential to get more consumers to flock to your brand? Because sometimes it seems to me the market thinks about it backwards. You�ll hear SEM practitioners (rightly) telling you to focus on structuring sites the right way. But remember, Google�s informal corporate motto is �Don�t be evil.� Wouldn�t that mean
Display and search: why the double standard? 2007-11-11 18:55:00 By David SinghSearch and display advertising can benefit both your direct response and your branding goals. Here's the breakdown. It has always perplexed me that standards for different online marketing channels differ, despite the fact that the internet is always driven by the user. Unlike traditional marketing where the touch points may or may not be initiated by the individual, in the online world it is the person who goes to the websites, and it is the person who initiates a search query. So shouldn't the measurement of our ad effectiveness be the same across channels? But it isn't the same. We generally look at search based on direct response (DR) metrics, while we look at display based on branding metrics. Many times clients who utilize both will assign different success metrics to each, holding search to a much stricter standard. David Ogilvy once said "If it doesn't sell, it isn't creative." This motto is taken to heart in search but is more flexible i Read more:Display

What to do when your keyword rankings drop 2007-11-11 18:52:00 By Ray RostiDon't panic. Take action. An Avenue A | Razorfish SEM account director explains. It's pretty much guaranteed that, at one time or another, you will settle in at your desk with your morning coffee and decide to check a few of your search engine listings, only to find that your site has suffered a drop in rankings. When this happens, what is the first thing you should do? The first thing you will probably want to do is clean up the coffee you just spit all over your screen, but then what? This is always frustrating, but taking the following steps may help you resolve the situation pretty quickly and without much loss in traffic. Does it matter?While nobody likes to see ranking drops, the more important statistic to look at is traffic and conversion. Oftentimes, people get hung up on ranking for "ego" words that have high visibility but may not be the best conversion drivers. If you look at your traffic and find that while rankings have fallen your org
The 10 laws of search 2007-11-11 18:43:00 By David SinghSearch is an important element of a marketing plan that shouldn't be left to chance. Here are the rules for success. Search spending is projected to exceed 10 billion a year within the next few years, continuing the trend as one of the most successful go-to online marketing channels. Because search attracts such advertising investment, and because millions of people use it every day, search is at the heart of the online marketing industry, and ought to be a part of any serious marketing strategy. Therefore, there ought to be a serious inquiry into the science of it and its role in the greater context of marketing. Based on my experience managing search campaigns over my professional career, I've developed a list of 10 overall rules that should always be taken into consideration as search campaigns are planned, launched, optimized and tested: 1) For search-only campaigns, volume is finite; traffic cannot be created nor destroyedDemand for a service c
Pay Per Performance Advertising 2007-11-11 18:14:00 by Seth CotterellPay per performance advertising is one of the most revolutionary things to happen in the advertising industry in recent memory. Pay per performance advertising is changing the way marketing campaigns are conceived of and carried out. The results of this trend are dramatic, though many people are still unsure what exactly pay per performance advertising is. Let's take a brief look and hopefully clear up some of the confusion surrounding the shift in the advertising industry.Traditional vs. Pay Per PerformanceAdvertising
To more fully understand what pay per performance advertising is, let's take a look at where it came from. In traditional advertising models, you pay ahead of time for the air time that your commercial will be using. This air time varies depending on the time of day and the season. Thirty second ads during popular sporting events can cost over $1 million. Ads late at night and during off season cost less because it is expected that less people are watc
What to Do When Your Pay per Click Keyword Bids Increase? (Part 3 of 3 Series) 2007-11-11 17:42:00 In my previous article, I explained how increasing your website’s sales conversion (number of visitors who purchase your product) generates more revenue which enables you to profitably manage rising pay-per-click costs. In this article, I’ll explain a final strategy that involves calculating and using your average customer lifetime value as a way to bid at higher prices while remaining profitable. What is Average Customer Lifetime Value? Traditional business philosophy is that “it is often more expensive to acquire new customers than it is to generate repeat sales from existing ones and that existing sales are more profitable due to the reduced marketing expense.” This strategy is very effective for offsetting the affects of rising pay-per-click costs. While most businesses consider only the value generated from a customer’s first purchase, a business using an average customer lifetime value considers the value generated from all of a customer’s purchases.

What to Do When Your Pay per Click Keyword Bids Increase? (Part 2 of 3 Series) 2007-11-11 17:40:00 In the first article of this three-part series, I explained how to determine your current performance metrics to set a baseline for selecting and measuring website conversion strategies. In this article, I’ll explain the process of website conversion for a paid search campaign and identify some strategies to reduce the gap between your baseline performance and your website performance goals. What are Website Conversion Strategies? Website conversion strategies are marketing and technology efforts focused on increasing your website’s efficiency with turning visitors into prospects or customers. The majority of website conversion strategies involve redesigning your current website and re-writing your website’s copy. However, to build an effective paid search campaign, conversion efforts must also be allocated outside your website and on selecting keywords, re-writing paid ad copy and considering the paid search engines’ user demographic and psychographic profiles.

What to Do When Your Pay per Click Keyword Bids Increase? (Part 1 of 3 Series) 2007-11-08 01:33:00 As we enter 2005, a hot topic in the search marketing industry has been the drastic increase of major category keyword bid prices for top-tiered pay-per-click search engines like Overture and Google Adwords. Although the degree of increase varies among industry resources, a recent survey conducted by the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) indicated an average 26% increase in bid prices in 2004. Statistics aside, all indications show an upward trend in keyword bid prices which means fewer results in 2005 from the same dollar spent on pay-per-click marketing in 2004. What Has Caused the Increase? The simple answer is that pay-per-click marketing has proven to be a tremendous measurable and controllable strategy for generating targeted website visitors among small, medium and large enterprises. As demand for pay-per-click marketing flood the keyword supply of top-tiered pay-per-click search engines and as enterprises compete for top ad placement, the bid prices Read more:Keyword

How Search Engines Find Websites 2007-12-15 22:52:00 by: Timothy TyeOne of the sweetest things for a webmaster is to go to a search engine - maybe Google, Yahoo, or MSN - type in a keyword, and voilà , they see their own website listed on the first page, or better still, ranked at the top of that page.You can go to Google and type "Guide to earning a living without a job", you'd see that this website, HappyJoblessGuy, is ranked at the top spot of the first page.
