Your Website Could Be Costing You Thousands Of Lost Revenue

Last Thursday I went to Tauranga, another city not too far from where I live and spoke to a great group of business people. It was fun, how ever I am not sure they thought it was so much fun :-) I decided to take a look at some of their websites….. Simon Ward organised it… fantastic

What a shame that so many web design companies out there have no idea and no concern about the customers needs when it comes to Google being able to find them On Line.

Here are some common mistakes by many of these experts out there:

1. there are no keywords at all in the site

2. there is no description

3. often the keywords are those of the Website Development company

4. the sites are pretty but take too long to load

5. too busy and too hard to navigate round

6. the important info is below the fold

7. too Black

8. to boring

9. no web 2.0 and totally badly written with no direction

10. no guarantees, all they do is sell and talk about stuff that does not matter


So here is the question…. “What is your website like?”

Maybe you just don’t know, nor do you care….. Why because no one is coming to you, no one can find you…

You are annoyed with the amount you have spent and the results you are getting… or should I say lack of results you are getting.

You are in most cases being ripped off by the Web development people… not all but a huge majority

There are things you need to know, they won’t tell you, but I will…. check out the testimonials below…. if you ant me to come and speak in your City, Town, then please contact me.

I have made it my mission to teach people what they don’t know.

What you don’t know about your Website will be costing you thousands of dollars every single minute……

Increase Website Traffic

Increase Website Traffic

I am going to write about an amazing software program that is out there on the market. I have been using it for a while but think I should start to tell everyone about it.

Why is it so good…. well many of the Keyword research tools out there including my favourite one Easy Niche Finder look at Google as their main search engine while this  one looks at Google, Yahoo, and MSN which is brilliant.

The other great benefit with this software it it will take a look at your page and give you a score from D- being bad, to A+ and then proceed to tell you how to fix it if you are unfortunate enough to get a low score… which I have had many times.

It’s almost like having an SEO expert look at your webpage and tell you what you are doing right, and what you are doing wrong. And then give you solutions for improving your on-page SEO. Traffic Travis does all that.

And no, they didn’t forget the off-page stuff, that is all in the software too. Along with PPC competition analysis (find out what keywords your competition is bidding on in Adwords) and a lot more!

Here’s the video tour, go check it out

Web Site Traffic

Thats what we want, we want hundreds of people finding their way to our website so we can make some money… if you make the changes that this program suggests then you will get traffic it’s just then up to you to make sure your site is worth coming to.

Traffic Travis is the name of the program and you can get it for free.. by just clicking on the Traffic Travis link or the Free link.

I totally recommend it……

How to Get Listed In Google, Yahoo and MSN

How to Get Listed In Google, Yahoo and MSN

One of the many things one has to do when they start out with a website is make sure you get it listed into the search engines. As you can get traffic pretty quickly to your sites for Free if you do it right and quickly. Of course I have said it many times, ir’s very easy to get a website up and running much more difficult to get traffic to it.  So Google and the other popular search engines will be very helpful to you in getting good targeted Traffic to Your site. With that said getting listed in all those search engines is important and effective.

Sometimes this can take a very long time so one way round it is to do alot or on page SEO while you may have to wait for your website submissions to catch up with you.

So how does one get listed into Google and Yahoo and of course MSN or Bing?

So we are going to look at what the search engines look for when deciding your page rank which becomes important as well and that is mostly set in your SEO or the Optimising of your Web Page or your Blog posts.

To this day, the majority of my traffic comes from the major search engines it could come via Organic Traffic or Paid Traffic. 

Paid Traffic= is known as PPC, Pay Per Click, or Adwords.

The Organic Traffic = comes from everything else you do, like Videos, Articles, good SEO on your page, choosing great Keyword Phrases this is what I teach mostly.

There are certain things you need to do to your site to make sure that it has the SEO qualities in it at the start and that will help you get listed in Google and the other pretty quickly. Make sure you have the following:

  1. Keywords
  2. Description
  3. H1 and H2′s

Here is a quick video explaining that and how to do that.

When you click on your page with right mouse button it will bring up a menu and there listed will be the words:

….View Source Code

right up near the top of your page you should have listed those things explained in the video. So good idea go check out your site and see if that appears on your site, if you don’t have any of those listed you need to go and make it happen.

It will look like this:

They usually consist of a title, description, and keyword tag and they look something like this:

<head>

<title>Title of Your Site</title>

<meta name=”description” content=”Description of your site here.”>

<meta name=”keywords” content=”keywords separated by commas”>

</head>

If you do that you have made a great start.

Here are some other things you can do that dont take to long but will help.. some quickly others eventually :-)

When you have a new site get it listed in the next few places.

So how do you get listed in Google?

1) Get your site listed in The Open Directory – www.dmoz.org.

This can take a while as it is all manned by volunteers, however its worth a go. You have to make sure you have a decent site though or you won’t get listed.

2) The second way to get listed in Google is to use their own Add URL form located here http://www.google.com/addurl.html.  This method is not as dependable as listing with The Open Directory, but it can get you in.  Google admits that they may not add every site, so don’t be surprised if this does not work for you. The other way I use is also free and yes it also may take some time and that is to use a Free submission site called Addme

3) The third way to get listed is to be linked from another web site that is already in Google. That way, when Google’s spider goes to visit that site for updates, it will pick up the link to your site and add it.  This method does not always work, but many sites do get in this way. So go and look for some sites in your niche that are busy sites and maybe leave comments on the site if you can, also I have found using YouTube and also setting up a profile in Google to be very helpful, so you can try that as well.

Getting listed in Yahoo

Most websites get into Yahoo and Bing by getting spidered from other sites.  Meaning if you’re already linked from another site or web directory, Bing and Yahoo’s robots will eventually find you when they update their search index.

If you don’t want to wait to get spidered, you can submit directly to Live by going here http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx.

Do not keep re-submitting your site. Sometimes you just want to as you see no action, but not a good idea, just be patient or you will end up being banned, and that would not be good.

Yahoo’s direct submission site is https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit

Getting listed into Yahoo Directory

This is not the same as the regular Yahoo Search function, the Yahoo directory is also a place you can add your site, and its a very good idea to do that. Get it listed in there as soon as you start to setup your site. Although wait till you have some content on it first :-)

When you go to Yahoo.com and enter a search into the box, you are using their regular search engine, not the directory.  So it is possible to be included in Yahoo’s regular search index and not be included in their directory, so do keep that in mind and make sure you are everywhere.

The Yahoo directory is actually a categorical listing of sites located here http://dir.yahoo.com and it’s not used very much by web surfers. I have used it on occasions as it short lists things makes it quicker to find what your looking or.

These are just a few things you can do to get yourself out there and noticed. I run workshops on this topic and when I am in your area be a good idea to take the opportunity and come along.

Traffic is everything, well lets re-phrase that and say, targeted traffic is everything.

Video Optin Page – Easy Squeeze Page

This is a new Generation Software that is so amazing in that you can make a Squeeze Page to go on the front of any website on the net. How cool is that…. not only that but you can have an Optin box on the front and a pop up box as an Exit grabber. Just to top it all off you also have a Twitter gatherer as well.

I cannot recommend this product enough. Your Instant Capture Page is truly that, instant….

Video Op-tin Page

The Easy Squeeze page makes an amazing Video Op-tin page as well. So easy to add a video onto the page and then have the Op-tin bax right there underneath. Just all to easy really.

You dont need to know HTML or FTP with this software it is just all too simple really. I really could not believe this software when I first saw it… It’s what I have been waiting for for along time. The other really good news with this software and the person who wrote it is that he listens to what we would like as changes. He has the customer at heart and that’s why I totally support the product and the person behind it… nothing is too much trouble.

I will be doing another video very soon about all the new features as this product was only re-released two days ago and so there are so many new features I cannot tell you them all, better to show you.

Easy Squeeze Page

I have been asked so many times by my students how to make a squeeze page, which in itself didn’t sound too hard, but then they had to learn how to do FTP, and also they had to have hosting accounts and all that. This truly is a Squeeze Page builder that can be built in less than 3 minutes. I challenge to to try it out, take the free test drive and tell me your thoughts.

Here is a video for now:

Instant Capture Page – Your Instant Capture Page

Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Viddler video.

Love to know your thoughts about it all. So easy to tie into your Auto Responder and start to build that list of yours. Add the squeeze page to your Youtube Video that you want to promote… just try it out… it’s fun and you can’t break it.
