Tips to Crank Up Your Web Marketing

If you are trying to make money on the web, you have probably learned a few painful lessons. Web marketing is a beast unto its own. Here are some tips that will help you tame it.

1. Blog Trick - Blogs are used for many things these days, but one trick is to use them to get a site indexed in Yahoo, Google and MSN. Simply take the pages off your site and enter them on the blog with a link to the corresponding site page. It works.

2. New Customers vs Old Customers – Many sites focus all there marketing efforts on getting new clients. While this is natural, it should not be done to the exclusion of old customers. Drip market on old customers by sending them discount and sale offers.

3. Publishing Articles in Directories – To promote your site, it often makes sense to publish articles to gain links and publicity. There are thousands of article directories, but the biggest is Ezine Articles.

4. First Internet Marketing Step - When it comes to internet marketing, the first step you should take is clear. Research! Figure out what keywords your prospects are using and incorporate them in your site.

5. File Names and Domain Names - When adding pages to your site, upload the file with dashes to the domain name. It should look like domainname.com/file-name.

6. Timing SEO - Un undiscussed factor in obtaining rankings through SEO is timing. New sites don't get ranked by Yahoo and Google. Your first step when launching a site is to get it published and submitted as fast as humanly possible.

7. Monitoring Rankings - Once you start to get rankings in Google, Yahoo and MSN, there is a tendency to check them every day. Don't. It is a huge waste of time. Check them no more than once or twice a week.

8. The Holy Grail of Type in Traffic – Regardless of the type of site you have, your ultimate goal is to get type in traffic. This occurs when a person types in your domain name instead of using a search engine. Amazon.com gets lots of type in traffic.

9. Perfect Internet Business - The perfect online business is whatever you love. It is going to take a lot of work, so figure out your interest and stick with it.

10. Converting at Christmas – During the holidays, people are compelled to buy. To evaluate your site, look at your conversion rate compared to other months. You should see your conversion rate improve by 100 percent during the season.

Obviously, not all of these tips will apply to your site. Still, even a few can make a big difference, so try them out.
