Basic Web Cosmetics To Help you Grow

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

Hello Folks,

Today I like to share with you what kind of basics to have on your website(s). As I am learning everyday bit by bit. Ask yourself what sort of data your visitors hope to discover on your website(s).

Here below I hope to make clear for you which path you may follow to attract your digital visitors at all time. It is NOT an easy road. Let that be clear.

It appears to be something so basic yet in all actuality, making sense of what to incorporate on your site isn’t simple. It takes a great deal of testing of thoughts and a learning of how individuals act on the web. Be that as it may, there is some substance that each site ought to have and no doubt, you’re feeling the loss of some of it. Different things aren’t so direct.

Every day I am scratching my head how to grow on the net.

The basics aren’t so basic. For reasons that make web experts scratch their heads, some websites are missing the most obvious content so let’s lay out the non-negotiables.

Set Your Logo at the Top of Your Site-

Keep your design simple. People expect to see your logo in the upper left corner of your site. It could be in the center but make sure it’s there.

Clear Company Name/Blog Name-

Looking “trendy” doesn’t make you exempt from including your company name. And it can’t be embedded in an image. Google can’t read images so if your company name isn’t in text format, Google won’t see it.

Your Contact Details-

address with a clickable Google maps link if you have a physical presence and clickable phone number so people can easily get in touch with you. This information should be easy to find within seconds. A contact link in the foot and/or header is ideal.

What Are You Doing-

At the top of your website, you should say what you do in as few words as possible. Uber has an image of a smiling person in the driver’s seat of a car with text that says, “Get there.” You may find it hard to be that concise but that’s the idea.

Text About Them Rather Than You-

You’re proud of your business, and you should be, but your customer probably doesn’t care. Unless you’re writing an “About” page, nobody wants to read how many clients you’ve serviced or how your service is “top-notch” or “better than the rest.” They want to know how you can solve their problem. Speak to that.

Content Should Constantly Change

If your website is stale, your customers will believe that your business is too. Keep content fresh, relevant, timely, and all about giving to them in some way.

Standard Pages-

You still need an about page, a contact us page, and a homepage but for informational purposes, don’t add much more. You don’t need multiple pages of company history or a page that has the logos of everybody you’ve worked for. The less pages the better.

E-Commerce Sites

Now that you have the basics for all sites, let’s look specifically at e-commerce sites. E-commerce is all about selling but that doesn’t mean that it’s a total hard sell the whole time.

A Blog-

You may or may not need this depending on your offerings. If you’re a specialty e-commerce site, a blog can make a lot of sense. Mr. Porter is a UK based specialty menswear e-commerce site well known for their blog. Articles like, “What to wear to the Gym this January” and, “A Dopamine-Releasing Recipe From an Expert Chef” are examples of how the company creates an immersive experience that speaks to a lifestyle instead of just selling.

User Generated Content-

Social media has changed how we shop. We care what the company tells us but we put more weight on the opinions of customers just like us. Have a place for people to post reviews of the products/Goods/Services you sell to the world.

It’s All About The Price-

Don’t be shy about the putting the price where people can see it right away. You want qualified buyers and they don’t want to waste their time. Stay away from things like, “click here to see the price.”

Easy Purchasing Experience-

The more the customer must click, the more likely you’ll lose the sale. As you think through content on your site, how can you get them from learning about the product to entering their credit card information the fastest?

 Lead Generation Sites

Lead generation sites aren’t as much interested in directly selling the customer a product or service—although they might be later on. For now, they want to build a list of qualified people or want to generate traffic for ad clicks or other monetization strategies that don’t include direct selling. Often these are blog sites. Here are a few items a blog site should have.

A Sign Up Form-

Actually, nearly every site should have a sign up form but for lead generation sites, getting somebody onto your e-mail list is the ultimate win. Popups still work but people are growing increasingly annoyed by them and Google is reportedly now penalizing what it calls “intrusive interstitials.” Google doesn’t want popups that cover main page content where the user has to click off of it to continue on the site. You still need a sign up form but how can you do it without annoying your reader?

An RSS Feed-

Yes, RSS is getting a little old but it’s still widely used in mobile apps and computers. For people who read a lot of blogs, an RSS feed is how they know you posted a new article.

Video Content-

You can still get a lot of mileage out of text posts but content is quickly moving more toward video. Your phone provides a great a way to get into video blogging and services like Facebook Live allow for great content without a lot of work.

Expert Posts- You’ve likely noticed that everybody seems to have a blog now and many have blogs about content they’re not experts in. Find experts in the field and interview them. Make blog posts highly authoritative and valuable.

Intentional Call to Action- If your goal is to get them signed up on your e-mail list, have a sign up call to action at the end of every post. You might even embed a sign up form into the post. Don’t let them read your content without asking them to sign up unless you have an intentional reason.

Bottom Line

Don’t forget about the basics but depending on the type of site, there are other items you should also have. Like anything with content marketing, test, retest, and test again. Be willing to give up what you believe are good ideas if the data tell a different story.

I hope to have provided you some valuable information to hit the road. I am moving further with my team. This is not all, if you have more to share just share them in the comments or send us an email.

Free Tools to Manage Your Internet Marketing

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

Everyone needs a little help with implementing and tracking their internet marketing endeavors.

Here are 10 tools that will make it easier. I use these every day, so I can vouch for their effectiveness:

  1. Google Analytics — If you don’t track the results of your marketing, you might as well not be marketing at all. Google Analytics gives you a great overview of your site’s statistics plus some very nitty-gritty details that help you track internet marketing campaigns.
  2. XML Sitemap Generator — If you want good search engine rankings, Google likes it if you have an XML sitemap on your site. You don’t have to worry about what XML is, just use this generator and it will create the XML file for your site (up to 500 pages per site).
  3. BrowserShots — Are you aware that your site looks completely different on some browsers? Use this browser compatibility tool to see how your site looks in Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, and Internet Explorer. For some real comparisons, check older versions with newer ones (like IE6 versus IE8). Why check older versions? Because 20 percent of people have IE6 loaded on their computer, even though it was created in 2001 and is not fully CSS compliant. Better safe than sorry.
  4. Google Keyword Tool — Want to know which keywords are popular and what people are searching for via Google’s search engine? This tool allows you to do some great market research.
  5. Alexa.com — Alexa allows you to see the traffic rank for your site and your competitor’s sites. When you enter the Alexa site, click on the Site Info link at the top.
  6. Compete.com – Compete also allows you to see ranking information about your site and your competition. Use Alexa and Compete together to get a fuller picture.
  7. SurveyMonkey — If you’ve been looking for an easy way to do market research, SurveyMonkey is the tool for you. It allows you to do online surveys, and I also use it for course evaluations and brainstorming in my mastermind groups.
  8. Search Engine Spider Simulator — Want to know how the search engines really see your site? Are they picking up all your keywords? Use a search engine spider simulator and see for yourself if your site is search engine friendly or not.
  9. WordPress — You can host your blog for free on WordPress.com or use their free software on your own domain via WordPress.org (note the different domain names…WordPress has two of them).
  10. SpamCheck — There’s nothing worse than sending an email that gets caught in filters and never reaches the recipients. This tool will show you which parts of your email text will trigger a filter.

Because they work on individual projects, an agency needs software that can track all of the costs associated with each project. The software should be able to track employee time with the ability to use split rates and multiple rates, raw materials, outsourced invoices, etc.

How to Write a Great Exploding Call to Action

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail
Advertise you business right here.

Sometimes it is very difficult how to start your call to action. Here are some simple sentences to help you out  from this problem a lot of bloggers are facing every day.

1. Use Power Words

Great calls to action are emotional. They don’t waste valuable space with words like, “just.” They use words like “dream” or “million.” How about “Be the first” or “Find Your Million Dollar Idea Today.” All of these provoke some kind of emotion. Looking for some awesome power words? Just ask Google to assist you quickly.

2. Put Your CTA in the Right Place

Just like in real estate environment, the 3 most important words in digital marketing are location, location, location. Tons of research exists to tell you how people read a web page—and some of that research is actually useful. You might think that your call to action should be at the bottom of your page after all of your finely crafted sales copy but some people don’t want to read all the fluff. Some people will simply want to check out the offer without reading. Others may be ready to buy after one paragraph while others may completely miss the call to action if it’s only at the bottom of the page. That’s why a few CTAs in various locations on the page may work best. Try them in different places and start with these guidelines:

  • RED, Green and Orange buttons tend to convert the best.
  • Use first-person language. “Get My Free Report” instead of “Get Your Free Report.”
  • One of your calls to action should be above the fold so visitors don’t have to scroll to find it.
  • One action is enough. Tell your customer what you want them to do. Don’t use the CTA to present choices. You could give them a few choices at checkout, instead.

3. Keep It Short.

Having the gift of gab may make you a top-notch salesperson in face to face conversations but online, it’s all about getting to the point. The fewer words in your call to action, the better, in most cases. Take this 3 points in good consideration:

1 – Let XYZ company tell you how much it will cost to remodel your kitchen

2 – Call today for a free estimate!

3 – Let us make a person to person appointment !

Which of these two calls to action are most likely to get a response? The first call to action isn’t actually a call to action, and it is long and wordy. Plus it focuses on letting the XYZ company do something and that it’s something that will cost money. The second variation is short, to the point, tells the consumer to place a call, and focuses on the free estimate, not the cost of the work.

4. Test The Thing More Then Once

There’s a lot of science behind the call to action but the science is only a starting point. All the statistics and best practices may not work with your audience so test everything. Try a few different text ideas, button colors, button shapes, locations, web page designs. Test each of these individually. It’s going to take a while to test everything but once you find the winning combination you’re going to see some fantastic results. Even the best marketers in the business test various combinations. If they can’t get it right the first time, either can you. Now get to work and write a Call To Action that will get people flocking to your business!

You are free to share more ideas in the comments………..Let it flow rich and big.

2017 SEO Trends Watch It Happening

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail
Advertise you business here.

When it comes to SEO, you can never be as prepared as you should be. Google is constantly throwing out curve balls that affect ranking and they aren’t in the habit of announcing all of them. Some we’re aware of while answers to others will become apparent only as time goes by. Google’s end responsibility is towards their users – the company definitely won’t be making it easy for us to sit on page 1 without having us work for it.

With that in mind, it’s time to get prepared in 2017 and far beyond. This past year we’ve seen numerous changes happen to the Google algorithm. Those changes have affected how we do SEO, how we do paid advertising, and how and why we create content.

It’s time to check out the SEO trends we can expect this year. Word of caution – while these trend predictions are based on historical observation and experience, they might not all come to pass, or they might but Google might decide to throw something else at us. We can never know so it’s important to constantly measure things and stay in the loop.

Importance of Dense Content

At one point, Google got fed up with short snippets of text posing as posts and articles. They were short, uninformative, and served only one purpose – to clutter the Internet. So, with a few tweaks to the algorithm, Google made sure that these extremely short pieces of content would have a tough time ranking. They still have their place on the Web but they will be buried deep below long texts that cover topics in more detail.

However, this created another problem. Crafty content makers and SEOer started creating long, drawn out guides and articles that are well over 2,000 words. While in some cases this is necessary to cover the topic, most of the time it’s done because there’s an understanding that this type of content will rank better.

Why? Or better yet, who has the time for all that?

This year you’re going to have to focus on creating dense content – content that brings value with every word that’s on the page. No frills, no fluff and filler, just pure value. People have less and less time to read but they will still want detailed guides that aren’t borderline books. It’s going to be a challenge but a one that you’re going to have to tackle head on.

Accelerated Mobile Pages

Google is intent on bettering user experience at all cost. Their Accelerated Mobile Pages initiative is all about building a new standard of content creation that uses light versions of HTML and CSS. Because AMP pages are delivered from Google’s own hosted cached versions and thanks to their lightness, they load much faster.

Speed matters, folks!

Slow loading pages see a lot higher bounce rate and around half of your visitors will simply jump the ship if the page loads more than 3 seconds. This is particularly true for mobile users. In addition to ranking better, AMP content also performs better in terms of CTRs.
