9. To tell its little story.

It is surprising to note the number of sites commencant by information of this ” kind; Louse limited liability company is a company being located in full Lorraine in our French countryside….”. But, really, which east interests by this kind of information???? From knowing will Ca, to say this type of things… Ca change quelquechose with the quality of your products or services?? If you want, if you must put this kind of information on your site, I frankly advise you to create a page being called, for example, ” our sujet” has;. But, I still repeat myself, avoid registering this style of information on your title page.

10. Executives (or frames).

You will believe that it is my war-horse prefers. But not, but not! Many old navigators do not support the executives, much of webmasters cannot make frames readable by the navigators texts or for the people partially-sighted persons. Many search engines do not index or then badly the screens and finally, much of people make executives with functionalities specific has Microsoft or Netscape. They are not sufficient arguments?

I invite you, if you want absolutely to make frames, to consult this handbook of the W3C which is the official manner to do them and to do them well:

11. The panels ” In Construction”.

It is an abominable thing has to see on the site of a company which wants to be professional. It is really an attitude which you must avoid on your pages. On this subject, consult the article in the Letter n° 7 and you will include/understand easily why you must avoid these words. A person who discovers the message ” In Construction” frustree of contents is seen and has all the chances to leave immediately more on its subject research at your competitor.

12. The bonds break-ins.

A bond breaks, it is to have a bond towards a site external or one of its pages and which instead of leading to the file that one wished, one obtains a message of the ” kind; error, inexistante” page;.

It is a thing which should be logical but unfortunately, the bonds break-ins are too much frequent. To find on the site of a company a bond break-in is surely annoying, frustrating and not professional. Why upset these visitors??

13. Missing images!

Still a thing which is of an obviousness… however, it is not possible to traverse the Web without finding a site or it misses images… same on the sites of large established companies.

14. The page of contact incomplete.

It is surprising. Certain companies seek customers and hope to make deals with them, while remaining a public limit company on Internet network and not easily reachable differently than by email.

For maximaliser your credibility, you must provide, has your potential customers, your coordinates postal, telephone and Internet, and this, in a way as complete as possible.

. Give an address with a street and not one limps postal. Provide a phone number or it is possible to join to you and to speak and not one limps vocal. Lastly, propose an address email or it is possible to join to you in the event of problem and not that of your webmaster.

15. A page of presentation a length, an infinite length.

In spite of the continual search for information at the users of Internet, the majority will not read the pages a length exageree. It is preferable to divide your very long page into several pages a more human length. Moreover, of this facon, it is possible to separate the pages in topics or different under-topics and to help your visitors has to target the information which they seek.

16. Cookie or not cookie?

The cookies are information envoyees by the site and stockees on your computer to improve the interactivity.

With the cookies, it is possible to deliver has your visitors more relevant information. However, much of people the cookies regard as an invasion of the private life. Thus do not badger your visitors with tons with cookies at any moment. If you want absolutely to put some, try to limit you has only one cookie by visit.

17. Nonsatisfied free offers!

You can make free offers on your site in order to obtain the names of your visitors and their emails. But, you can make it only if you summers able to hold, to satisfy this offer and some of it is the number asks! Certain sites propose free consultations or a site or a free drawing,… and are unable to satisfy everyone. They is really very bad for their reputations. If you do not feel able to satisfy everyone (10, 100,1000 people even more)… prevent beginning, the number which you can satisfy!
18. Nonprotected goods of orders.

It is comprehensible that some among you access does not have repertories made safe to transmit important information. In that case, one should not ask significant data like the credit card number of your customer. Propose has your customers to invite you to transmit it or to send it to you by telefax.

Your visitors should be encouraged has to order on line, it is necessary to give them confidence and avoid saying to them that there is no risk when it is not really the case.

19. Plug-ins, java, windows appearing in all the directions.

One very very small percentage of your visitors will take time to charge it plug-in, of reinitialiser its computer and to reconsider your site. They rather will see at your competitor perhaps which does not have last technology with the mode but which is easily visible.

Windows appearing in all the directions, java, Javascript and other things which bring a certain interactivity. Can Ca be interesting, Ca can be one more but for a company, it is a good thing to return the displacement of your difficult visitor and conditions with the use with the last navigator of walk? Your visitor does not come to see how you can make your site interactive… it is interested rather has your offer.

20. To use the work of the others.

Certain people do not hesitate has to take again the drawings, the contents text or presentation of other sites… same of the times, of the direct competitors. It should not be believed only, because on Internet information is free, that creative work does not need to be recognized. If there is a drawing, an intervention that you appreciate on a site, do not hesitate has to send an email to the author for saying to him and ask him the authorization to use it… there are enormously chances so that it either accepts.

  • Sitepal.com improved my conversion rates!

    web promotion, online marketing 1 Comment »

    I’ve wrote a post few days ago about sitepal.com, where I was saying that I’m going to test out their tool to improve conversion rates for one of my lead generation website. And I’ve promissed that I’m going to write after some days of tests. And so far it proved to be a success.

    The conversion rate of that website has grown! I cant tell you exactly by what percentage, but it’s something like that website used to have a negative ROI, and now it’s positive, for example yesterday the profit for that website that uses sitepal.com was $78, and so far today it looks that it’s going to be another day with a positive ROI.

    So before I start to do any other move, and invest some money into this thing, I’m going to give it some more time to see if the conversion rates will remain up. And also I want to build another website, that will be made for sitepal, and that will have a space suited for the shop assistant.

    The next step will be to buy a professional shop assistant from live face on web, that are offering some really great actors that could help you out with your website.

    Again I will keep you updated if livefaceonweb.com is improving my conversion rates for some of my websites.

    Okay so, while surfing I was able to find a cool website (http://www.sitepal.com), that claims to improve your conversion rates by 40%. This website is able to offer you a shop assistant, that will talk with your visitors, this way your website will be more friendly, and people will consider your offer more interesting for them.

    Here I will post a screenshot of the shop assistant that I’ve created. I’ve selected a woman because women are more friendly and most of the sales people are women. I would personally enjoy more seeing a woman, than a man, on any website.

    This website sitepal.com is offering a free 15 days trial, no cost no obligation. So I signed up, to test it. They are also offering a 30 day money back guarantee after that 15 days of free trial ends.

    Regarding the voice that will talk to your costumers, you can let them record with a professional voice what you want to be said, you can record it yourself by using your computer microphone, or you can just simply enter the text in a box, and it will be read by their computer generated voice. I’ve selected the last option since is the fastest, and it’s pretty good.

    I will let you know how my conversion rates will change, and if it’s worth the trouble to install something like that on your website. I had it installed on a lead generation website, where the conversion rate is vital. Even if I have a conversion rate increase of 20% it will mean a lot to me ($10-20k more per month). So I definetely would love to work with them.

    And while doing some more research, I have found another similar website that offers some services that are more professional, it’s called www.livefaceonweb.com. Here you will get an actual actor on your website, that will move and say whatever you want. This one is not offering a free trial, but prices here start from $300. In the future, if sitepal.com proves to be successful I will use LiveFace, because their shop assistants look a lot better :).

    I will let you know on tuesday what the results of this test will look like, so come again if you want to hear the end of the story :).

    I’m planning to start a new blog:). The new blog it will be about guess what??? Online marketing;). It’s one of the best ideas that I had in the last couple of days and it will come to life soon.

    The idea came to my mind when I was reading THIS article about how to get a massive amounts of links to a blog. In that article they talk about a certain method of making a blog popular. What you have to do is create a blog that is a parody to another blog that is big and that is famous around the world. So I just checked the biggest 3 blogs about online marketing, so there you have

    shoemoney.com -> the parody blog is bootmoney.com
    johnchow.com -> parody johncow.com

    And there is left problogger.net that has no parody blog. Problogger is one of the biggest blogs in the universe, about making money online, it has 30k rss readers.

    So I will start making a parody blog to problogger, I already registred a domain name, and I will start today working on this new project.

    So I started out a new google adwords campaign for an insurance offer that converted really good on yahoo search marketing. I’ve managed to get a really big list of keywords, and everything was looking good. I was expecting to see some good conversion rates, and a good ROI. But that never happened.

    I’ve spent around $40, and earned only $17.

    Where did I go wrong on this one?

    Well I allowed google to show my ads on its content network. So what my campaign did was having a lot of impressions from their content network, and just a couple of clicks. It is well known that these publishers networks can be a tricky place to do business. A lot of these publishers are just people that do PPC arbitrage that isnt quite bringing in value to the clicks, they just buy cheap clicks and sell them by using adsense.
    You can either earn a lot of money and get a great ROI, or you could just get some dollars burned away.

    SO what I’m saying is that when you first start a new advertising campaign with google be sure to turn off the publisher network. And only after you see good results with the search network, try to diversify by starting to use the publisher network.

    I just signed up for text-link-ads.com as a publisher. I’ve started by using one of my websites, that has around 300 pages of content, a pagerank 4, and it’s a website about finance. It’s one of my best websites :).

    It all happened tonight so I havent got any links yet. But there’s a lot of hope since 17% of online advertising is being spent in the finance industry.

    The TLA platform is really nice, and it’s easy to use. The design of the website is very friendly, so everything looks great.

    Unfortunately there is a problem with TLA, they will take as much as 50% of everything that you will ever earn by using their network. It’s kindof sharky… but hey that’s life, if you dont like them you can go and use something else.

    They are a good way to monetize a blog or a content website. The best thing about it is that it will be passive income, since you wont have to do anything to get the monthly recurring commission. There wont be anything to optimize just links.

    I will let you know what results I’ll get from using them. I also have at least other 5 websites where I can put up some links. So if their prediction is good I’ll be getting around $500/month just for installing those php codes.

  • Google started to put ads in their free youtube videos

    web promotion, google, online marketing No Comments »

    It didnt have to take a long time until this happened. If you remember google paid not so long time ago $1.6 Billions for youtube.com now they have to get some cash out of that. And what better way than to put up ads during the video that you are watching, in a corner. I have attached a printscreen of the youtube ads. It’s the ad for THE SIMPSONS Movie, at the end of this post.

    Google says that they will be charging $20 for 1000 views. Which is a small price for a CPM ad. Only big companies will afford to do this kind of advertising, it’s kind of expensive and it’s only good for branding.

    Some users are annoyed with the new ad system. Ads are never welcome anywhere.:) But they must make a buck or two in order to keep this service free. I guess the adsense money wasnt enough for them.

    In the future the users will get used to the ads and they wont be that bothered to see them, I think they will be happy to see when they change, because probabily at the beginning they will only see a couple of ads over and over again. And also in the future we might see some targeting, so if you watch a movie about ice cream you will get an ice cream ad. Hehe not quite a good example :) but hey ;P

    So Google will be earning a lot more from youtube.com and also another important thing is that they are planning to share a part of their income with the users, so if you are good at making cool videos for youtube you will be getting a share. Since they are planning to make a partnership program.

    web promotion, search marketing, PPC No Comments »

    When you talk about the other PPC search engines you dont take into consideration the 3 big ones (Google, Yahoo and MSN). There are many small PPC search engines, most of them are not worth the try, because the only thing that you will be able to do is waste your money.

    SO far I have tryed the following small ppc search engines: 7search, genieknows, looksmart, about, miva(known as findwhat), kanoodle, enhance.

    And just 7search proved to have a higher quality and to be able to provide some quality traffic that converts. With all the other PPC search engines all I was able to is waste money.
    For example at genieknows I know I deposited $200, and in just 2-3 hours all the funds were spent, and I havent got any conversions.

    I have tryed them all, what I just cant understand is how are they surviving, if they are not able to provide anything to their advertisers, are they only getting the money from advertisers that are always trying out something new, they see that it doesnt work, the ppc search engine takes the money, and life goes on? DO they have all their businesses online just to steal money from advertisers? I dont know if there is someone who gets a positive ROI from these search engines, but I doubt it.
