More Traffic and More Visitors at Anything Internet

More Traffic and More Visitors at Anything Internet

The Internet and the World Wide Web have grown from its humble beginnings as a means of communication between stations with a common network and a mainframe, and as a means of exchanging information by university-based scientific departments or physics laboratories, respectively. The Internet and the World Wide Web has become an important tool of communication used by all sectors in society, from schools to businesses, from primary education to advanced research and development, from private enterprises to government endeavors, from toddlers to the elderly. Indeed, the Information Highway has continued to lure more traffic and more visitors to avail of its various products and services.

For the uninitiated, more traffic in a website means more visitors, which translates to more potential customers. With the thousands of Internet businesses online, Internet marketing can be very difficult without a reliable and effective means of traffic generation. Thus, if you want more traffic and more visitors to your website, hiring Internet specialists is very important though this too has its minefields; most Internet specialists are so specialized that you might need to hire more than two companies to cater to your entire Internet marketing needs, thereby increasing your operating costs and compounding the inconvenience of having to deal with two consultants who might not agree with each other.

Fortunately, there is a website committed to being a full service Internet marketing company. They can assist you in starting your online business with services ranging from securing domain names, becoming your web host, developing web design, helping you with search engine optimization, working out internet marketing strategies, analysis of traffic, and other Internet services that you might need.

With an impressive portfolio, you can be sure that their 14 years of experience in Internet technology and marketing will be employed in your website. Indeed, Anything Internet is “everything Internet”.

One of the more useful Internet services at Anything Internet is its Search Engine Optimization. Again for the uninitiated, search engine optimization is the process of increasing the volume and improving the quality of traffic to a web site; in this sense, it can mean more traffic and more visitors to your website, which increases your opportunities to make a sale. With Anything Internet’s search engine optimization service, you can do away with the trial and error in anticipating what Internet surfers will search for and the keywords they will use; you do not even need to understand the complexity of the algorithms used by search engines! At Anything Internet, they will do the research for you and they will make informed recommendations and suggestions based on that research. In this way, you can revise your website content to suit the changes in the way search engines work. No more guesswork, no more costly sales opportunities missed; just more traffic, more visitors, more potential customers, and more sales; or if you are a non-profit entity, more members and more good causes .

My Websites are Making Money – an Internet Success Story

My Websites are Making Money – an Internet Success Story

I have about a dozen websites, some make good money, some make a little money, and some don’t make any money at all. Not all sites are designed to make money online though. Some sites are designed for other purposes. For instance, I have a website about asparagus harvesters that was not intended to make money online, but rather get some interest in my experimental harvesting machine, and maybe find a backer.

The site, asparagusharvester.com, fulfilled its function. Washington State University became aware of my machine through the site, and ended up funding the development of the machine for a number of years.

The first site I built, in 1998, after teaching myself HTML online, was to market an invention I had come up with, the Chilipepper appliance. It’s a pump that pumps hot water from the water heater to the fixture very quickly, and without running water down the drain. You get your hot water quicker and save quite a bit of water.

But how do you market something online that no one has ever heard of? No one would be searching for it because they did not know anything like it existed. When I first built the site, I optimized it for the keyword phrase “Hot Water”. I got very good rankings for the phrase and zero traffic. It turns out no one searches for the key words “hot water” and why would you?

I thought about it and decided that I would build into the site a section about water heaters. It would cover how they work, and how to maintain and repair them. I know a lot about water heaters since I worked with them quite a bit while inventing the Chilipepper hot water circulating pump.

Eventually the site obtained very good rankings and I was getting about 1,000 unique visitors a day. I had been reading about this new affiliate stuff and decided to try putting some advertising on my site. I joined Commission Junction and selected some affiliate programs, placing the ads on the water heating related pages. I don’t put ads on the main pages of the Chilipepper demand system since I want them to stay and buy a Chilipepper. Pretty soon I started getting checks for commissions I earned. People were actually clicking the ads on my site, going to the advertiser’s site, and making purchases. And guess what they were buying…tankless water heaters. I still can’t believe people buy tankless water heaters on line, but they do.

So there I was, making about $200.00 a month on commissions from affiliate programs. Then I read about a new program called adsense. I put adsense ads on my Chilipepper site, and on a website that I built while on cruise ship vacations. My wife and I cruise quite a bit, and while on the cruise we update the site. We review all of our cruises on the site. I put adsense ads on the site, cruisesrfun.com. I put hem on a site I built about inventing, inventionspatents.com, and a few others too. Instantly I was making quite a bit more money from these sites than with the affiliate programs.

Recently I’ve started receiving requests from advertisers to place their ads on the pages of some of my sites. Sometimes they want to put an ad up permanently for a one time fee…I always say no. They offer usually around $75 to $150 per ad. It just doesn’t click with me for some reason. Just a couple of months ago I got an offer from an ad outfit offering me 50 cents per 1,000 ad views on one of my sites. No clicking necessary!

For some of my sites the $/1000 page views is in the tens of dollars, while for other sites its just a few cents/1000. The ad agency lets me put two ads per page, and both ads have to be above the fold. I get $1.00 for every 1,000 page views. I have two more ads below those, and they are adsense ads. I still make money from the adsense ads, not as much as before, but when you ad the two together it is substantially more money than with just the adsense ads alone. I also like the idea of not having all of my eggs in one basket. I’m not totally dependent on Adsense.

Another new thing I am trying is 5 second audio ads. It’s a new program that has some very nice features. When a visitor lands on one of my pages, a 5 second audio ad plays. I get paid for that ad. My visitor doesn’t have to click on anything. My visitor does not leave my page. The ad is short enough it doesn’t bother my visitor, and it won’t play another ad to the visitor for at least 3 minutes. It doesn’t affect any of my other advertising, no problems with Adsense, and doesn’t take up any room on my page. It also does not cost anything to join so I’m not risking anything.

The audio ads program is in beta right now, and is slowly ramping up, but I am already making money, and I expect the audio ads to nearly double the income from the advertising on my sites once it is in full swing.

My sites are informational sites, and so my visitors are looking for information, not fancy graphics and whatnot. So I build simple sites with simple navigation. No search engine spider has trouble finding any of my pages. I write with humans in mind…I’m probably not always successful in that endeavor but I try. I keep my ads to a minimum. When I land on a page that is cluttered with ads and banners I usually leave quickly.

I make sure my Title meta tag has an appropriate and effective title, incorporating my most important key words whenever possible. I make sure the meta description tag has a well written description meaningful to humans. I try to have my main key words worked into the text in a few places on the page, but not too many. If my pages have images I use the alt text to describe the image and work in a keyword or two. Do not overdo it though.

If you trade links with other sites try to make sure you trade with other quality sites that have some kind of connection that a search engine would recognize.

And finally, I have patience. It just takes a long time to reach the point where you get significant traffic from the search engines. I figure at least one year and possibly two before I’m getting thousands of visitors on a particular site. You can opt for paid traffic and get those numbers quickly, but I am not willing to buy traffic, and I doubt it would be profitable, at least for the sites I have.

So there you have it. Build quality websites with information people are looking for. Monetize your sites with a variety of advertising, but don’t overdo the ads. And while you are waiting for the income to develop, get on to your next site.

How to Assess the Response to Your Internet Marketing

How to Assess the Response to Your Internet Marketing

It is all good and well to start an Internet marketing campaign, especially if the people you are targeting are those you consider more than likely to use the Net to find out about or buy the products and services you have on offer. However, this could be a total waste of your time and energy, if you are not assiduous about assessing the response to your internet marketing. Each time you apply a change to your marketing strategy you should assess what has happened as a result of that change and whether or not it has provided you with a greater or lesser profit than before the change was made. This will show exactly what is, and what is not, working for you.

The assessment of response from your Internet marketing can be carried out by several different methods. Two of the most popular ways are embedded HTML code and the completion of customer surveys. You can design the surveys to be as straightforward or as detailed as you wish, taking into account the amount of feedback you want to receive, but it is advisable to cover the subject of where the customer found out about your products or services, as this will show you which of your marketing strategies are coming up with the best results, and it will also indicate if many people are coming to you through the same channels.

Embedding code within your advertisements in order to receive feedback is another great way of assessing the response to your Internet marketing tactics. Advertisements are coded so the owner of the business receives feedback every time an Internet user clicks their way through any given advertisement. This allows the business owner to see which of his or her advertisements are drawing the best attention. It could be that the owner is using two entirely different styles for the advertisement and it may be discovered that one is particularly better than the other enabling the owner to make the decision to change all of the advertisements to the more effective design of the two. Likewise, when a business is being run by the same advertisement on lots of websites, it will be highlighted which sites are generating more business and which are not doing so well.

Ultimately the response to an Internet marketing campaign can be assessed by making a careful review of website traffic statistics following on from changes made to the strategy in use. This information can prove to be of great help as it shows whether or not the change was well received by your potential customers by way of feedback of a positive nature. Although this method of evaluation to the response of an Internet marketing campaign can be worthwhile, it should be noted that making several changes at the same time will not show exactly which of those changes were the most effective overall. So, if you are intending to use website traffic as an indication of how well your Internet marketing strategy is working out, you should really only put once major change into practice at a time, and this will allow you to evaluate the changes on an individual basis.
