Tips to Crank Up Your Web Marketing By: Spencer Pirres

Experience is more or less defined as learning from your mistakes. Online, that can be an expensive proposition. To save you some money, here are a couple of things I have learned over the last 9 years.

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. Using Keywords in SEO - Once you have researched your keywords for SEO, consideration needst to be given regarding how to lay them out in your site. Personally, I try to use no more than six per page and often go with just one phrase.

3. Keywords in Your Published Articles – If you publish articles to promote your site, be careful! If you put your main keyword phrases in the articles, the listings in the article directory may outrank you site!

4. Keyword Research and Tails - When conducting keyword research, people often mistakenly focus on two word phrases. You should look for the tail phrases, which are three to four words. There is less competion for rankings, but still plenty of traffic.

5. The Boring Site Map – Site maps may seem like a boring, unnecessary page of your site. In truth, they are critical. The site map is your safety page if you are doing search engine optimization. It is the page where search engine spiders can find everything.

6. Paying Search Engines for Traffic – Search engines sell traffic through something known as pay-per-click marketing. For most new sites, it is a good way to get immediate traffic. Just make sure you are making more money than you are spending.

7. Contextual PPC Advertising - Contextual PPC advertising allows you to put ads on other people's site. In general, you should not. The quality of the traffic clicking on your ads can be very low, to wit, you don't pick up much business.

8. Google vs Yahoo - Google and Yahoo are the two biggest search engines out there by traffic. There is really know competition, however. Focus your marketing on Google. Yahoo should be a secondary concern.

9. Optimal Conversion Rates – Traffic to your site is nice, but you need to convert it into sales. Your conversion rate is the number of sales you have per visitor. Anything over 1 in 400 is a bad sign.

10. MSN vs Google Search Engines - When marketing, you need to know which search engines to focus on. Google has the advantage of controlling the most traffic, but rankings come slowly. MSN will rank sites quickly, but has little traffic.

Opening an online site isn’t so much a business venture as it is a lifestyle. Regardless of how you try to resist it, your site will consume your attention and time. The above advice will hopefully make life a little cushier.
