Get More Visitors in 48hrs Without Spending a Dime

5 Techniques to Improve Search Engine Ranking and Sales If you have a website and are looking for FREE ways to drive more unique traffic to your website, I will show you in 5 steps how you increase your website's traffic within 48hrs. I've tried it and it really works.

1. 1. Landing Page
   
   a. Easy Navigation
   
   b. Few Graphics
   
   c. Sales/Ordering
   
   d. Contact/Support
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
3. 3. Blogging
4. 4. Forums
5. 5. Social Networking

Let's get started....

1. Landing Page

What is a landing page? A landing page is the first page your visitors will see when they visit your website. Your landing page will determine the success of your website because 95% of your visitors will leave within the first 15-30 seconds.That means that you need to have something that is so eye catching, it will make your visitors want more. Here's the rule of thumb for creating a good landing page:

a. Easy Navigation

When people come to your website, they are looking for a microwave solution. In other words, they want to be able to get in and get out...in a good way. When you have a website that is very hard to navigate, people tend to become bored and frustrated. The last thing you want as a website owner is to have a boring website. Make sure that your navigation is easy to read and follow. Don't have any broken links on your website. When you have a link that doesn't work, it will drive your visitors away. So make sure that ALL the links on your landing page are working and leading your visitors where you want them to go.

b. Few Graphics

I've been to some websites that have waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy to many graphics. They have their entire website covered with graphics which is a very bad idea. When it comes to graphics, you want to use discretion. It's always helpful to designate a certain part of your website for graphics, banners, ads, etc. That way, people know that the left or right side of your page is for graphics.

If you have website with a lot of information, you still want to be cautious as to how many graphics you add. Adding to many graphics will take away from your content; and adding to little graphics will make your website look boring. Don't be afraid to use your discretion. You can also ask your friends or family to get some ideas. When you do that, listen to their suggestion, but don't take every idea they give you. Learn to develop your own style.

c. Sales/Ordering

A sales page or ordering page is very critical to your success as a business owners. Create offers that are enticing and REAL. Don't put an ad on your home page that says, "BUY ONE and GET 2 FREE" when you really meant, "BUY ONE and GET 2 for 10% OFF." That will drive your customers away like morning breath. Lol. Be straight forward with your offers...and keep it REAL at all times. Don't like to your visitors just to make a quick buck. Sooner or later, they'll find out and you will find yourself sharing cells with Madoff.

d. Contact/Support

Make sure that your contact/support page visible or easy to find. That way, when someone have a questions or needs to contact you about your products or services, it will be easy for them.

2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Without a doubt, any web master or successful internet business owner will tell you how important it is to have your website optimized for search engines. Here's the main reason why it's important to have your website optimized: It gives search engines a way to find your website. See, Google, Yahoo! MSN, and other search engines use what's called a robot. These robots crawl your website. However, when the do, there are certain criteria that you must meet in order to be index(found) by them. That way is called meta tags.

Meta Tags look something like this:







For those of you who are oblivious to this, your meta tags has a lot to do with how good or bad your website ranks with search engines. The meta tags tells search engines what they need to know to qualify you website as important.

I know that I've just given you a crash course on SEO. Just remember this, when you have your website, you have a better chance of ranking high and reaching more people with search engines.

3. Blogging

Having a blog components your website is very critical to your success as a website owner. Why? See, search engines loves website with activities. If you are always adding new materials on your website, not only will it make it more user friendly, but it will also make it more user search engine friendly. What that means is that search engines like Yahoo! Google are more likely to visit your website daily. By visiting your website daily, it gives them a chance to index (add) the latest blog you just wrote. Once the page you created have been indexed by search engines, more people are apt to find that page online.

4. Forums

If you haven't joined a forum yet, please do so. A forum is simple a bunch of people who gather together to share informaiton. Join forums that are associated with your niche market. For example, if you're an expert on cars, you don't want to join a health forum that primarily deals with heal stuff. Join a forum that primarily deals with cars. When you join, don't be afraid to share the little (or great) things that you know. This will show your targeted audience that you know what you are talking about.

Make sure to also include a link back to your website. Now, some forums allow you to post a link back to your website when writing a post. Whenever you come across a forum like that, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. For the forum that don't allow you to do so, just make sure that you have a link to your website on your profile page.

5. Social Networking

You can use social networks like Myspace, Faceebok, Inked, and others to drive tons of FREE traffic to your website. The key to doing this is posting relevant content that links that to your website. Also, add as many people to your friend's list, that way, everytime you post something, it will show up on their page. The more friends you have, the better.

Re: Has anyone bought targetted visitors? - Most "Targeted Visitors" do not look for your site or intend on going to it. Most of the vsisits are generated through popups and popunders. Some of the targeted visitor sites allow you to create an online add that people can click and go to your site but I have never heard of anyone getting so much as a newsletter signup from them. I think it would be more productive to take the money you would spend on guaranteed visitors, guaranteed signups, buying leads etc. and use it to advertise on some of the higher page rank websites related to your industry.
Re: Fill in the blank: The biggest thing I waste my time on is: - I thought of online games as a way to relax a bit or to get a break from writing. I used to play RPG too like Ragnarok and I'll admit that sometimes I do like to try the RPGs on facebook whenever i see my nephews and nieces playing them. But I know that once I get started, i would be addicted, so better not even Try. David is right! Spending time on internet marketing is far more productive and can be fun too! [quote="Mal Tindle":14m5rb9v]Hi members, Like Rachel, my biggest waste of time was when I was invited to be a neighbour for a friend on Farmville (or was it Farmtown, not sure). Being quite competitive I found myself spending time on that which I thought was a harmless diversion at the time. I came back to my senses after a while and got back to Internet Marketing.

Re: E-Commerce Spending Down? - Spending might be down, but there's still plenty of spending being done. Only a 2% decrease is hardly anything to worry about. As Kevin pointed out, I've noticed eBay sellers offering free shipping, but increasing the starting cost or Buy It Now price. So, in reality you're still paying for the shipping. I'm one who likes to buy online, mainly because it's a lot easier and I don't have to deal with the mad rush at malls and shopping centers. I'll shop around for the best price online, mainly looking at eBay or Amazon. However, if I happen to get into a crunch, then I'll just suck it up and go to the store and pay full price. Sometimes you just have to, but I try to avoid that situation. As Kevin also mentioned about shipping prices on eBay, I, too, have noticed that some sellers really inflate the price, even for US shipping. I avoid those sellers unless I can still get it cheaper through them than someone else, but most of the time you won't. It doesn't make any sense, and I would hate being out of the country and getting completely ripped off.
Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - Hi, Tradeshows are attracting different types of people. First, the visitor, which is the main reason of putting it on. Visitors come from all types of background: Buyers, prospective buyers, people who had a business and failed, directors, shopkeepers and even the public. Secondly there are people who just like to meet new people, that is the best place to be. Exchange of business cards, make new contacts for future use. Thirdly, the exhibitors are mixing with one another either help one another or just want to fine out the newest trend. It is also a good place to meet with competitors and learn from their strategies. Finally, there are numerous seminars with excellent speakers, covering a wide range of information. Taking these points in consideration, they are beneficial. Of course, not every exhibitor has the same success.
