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.
