Internet Marketing: Don't Let Your Competition Get The Best Of You

By Klein Peter


While a few businesses will grow from small beginnings to enormous size, others will remain small scale. The vast majority; however, will simply dissipate. New enterprises are known for an astonishing failure ratio, which is particularly the case when it comes to online entities. Read this article to learn how to avoid that fate by implementing some great Internet marketing tips.

Get good content for your website. Content is what people come to your site for in the first place. Offer them something relevant to their wants and needs that benefits them. Before trying to sell your product or service, give your site visitors something that will make them want to stay around.

Analyze the statistics on your website, especially the traffic that comes in and out during a day, week, or month. This will give you a great idea of when the most people come to your website and what times during the day are the most efficient. Also, over the course of the year, this can help establish seasonal trends for your product.

Keep your backlinks meaningful and accurate. If you are reviewing a cast iron pot, make sure your linked text doesn't go to your page for printer ink. Do not include random backlinks that don't relate to the topic at hand. You will drive away readers if they feel you are just trying to make money.

Have a specific goal in mind. Figure out exactly what it is you want your website to do, and aim towards that goal. Start small at first, say by increasing traffic, and then move out to other goals. Many a website has failed because they tried too much at one time.

Getting your business name in as many publications as you can, is important to bringing in new business. It does not have to cost you money to be listed in local business directories. Go online and search your local area, to find which directories are free to post your business and website address.

To make the best of your Internet marketing strategies and opportunities, try to avoid domains that sound like spam. You want to provide a legitimate service to generate healthy profit. Add a forum to your website. Add graphics to the forum as text based forums are not as attractive to customers.

Take advantage of free online local business directories, such as Google Local Business Center, Yahoo! Local, Local.com, SuperPages, YellowPages.com, InfoUSA, Localeze and Yelp. Listing your business in these directories will not cost you any money and you should see a boost in your website visitors. The visitors referred to your website from these sources, are also likely to be interested in your product or service, so conversion should be easy.

Build your digital customer relationship management database by providing an incentive for site visitors and existing customers to add themselves to your e-mail list. Advertise weekly or monthly drawings for free merchandise, create customer loyalty programs, or offer special discounts exclusively for members of your mailing list. NEVER resell your customers' contact info without first getting their approval.

The customers experience is by far the most important aspect that you must consider when developing your website layout. Try to limit the amount of features and widgets that can serve to increase the load time for your potential customers. Eliminate clocks, weather applets and other miscellaneous material from your site.

Make sure you include your website address, email and other company information on all your business paperwork from business cards to letterheads. You want to be sure your customers can find you on the internet. If they don't know your site or email they won't know you have it available.

Make it very easy for people to subscribe to your site by entering their email addresses. This may not seem as popular as it was a few years back, but there are many people that still check their email daily and they like to see newsletters and information there, regularly.

You should sometimes say that products will only be available for a limited time. The reason why this is a good idea is because some people want to buy, but they are hesitant. If they feel they have to make a decision in the specified amount of time, they will hop on it.
