Ten Steps to Web Marketing Success

We’ve recently noticed more and more articles, blogs and promotions touting all the new ways to market your website. “Buy into our secret system and you will be guaranteed top Google results!”

We’re sorry to say, it just ain’t so.

However, you can get consistently good results if you follow these ten simple guidelines. They will work for all small- to mid-sized businesses who want an effective, marketing-oriented website.

1. Your site must be well designed and easily navigated. Splash pages, animations and other eye-candy are counter-productive for most businesses (unless your business is related to those effects, e.g. an entertainment company).

2. You must have sufficient quantity of content in your site that is of good quality and written with your prospects in mind, plus have plenty of keyword-rich headlines.

3. You must have many high quality links, pointing back to your site,from sites that are relevant to yours. Irrelevant sites don’t help and some can actually lower your rating.

4. You should add to or change your content often. This keeps visitors and search engines coming back. (How often is enough varies from site to site.)

5. Your internal links must be html, as search engines cannot read JavaScript, Flash and other high-tech code. If the search engines can't see your links, they can’t crawl it. If they can’t crawl it, they can’t index it.

6. Youmust not use sneaky SEO gimmicks or tricks to try to fool the search engines. You will eventually be caught and penalized.

7. Once your site is set up, you must continuously work on marketing your site yourself. No other person cares as much as you do.

8. You must work, at least, two hours a week on your web marketing.

9. Your site must have its own personality. It is your representative to the world.

10. Use your common sense when marketing your web site. If someone is offering you a product, service or deal that seems too good to be true, it is!

If you follow these ten simple, but powerful guidelines, you’ll have a successful and popular web site, far outperforming all your competition.

Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
Re: Drop out Billionaire - I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back. It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week. He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation. His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
