Perhaps you, too, are considering building a Web site to promote your products and services to a greater number of consumers worldwide. Indeed, you are making a good decision; however, your promotional campaign should not end with creating a Web site alone. You have to be certain that your targeted consumers or Web site users are able to find your site among millions of other domains in the Internet.

The best way to deliver greater number of targeted traffic to your site is by improving your site’s ranking in the search engine listings. Ways to boost Web site ranking are collectively known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO). However, the term SEO is also being used by individuals or companies that provide Web site ranking promotion services.

There are different ways through which your targeted site user can locate your Web site: through paid ads, third parties such as directories listed in the search engine and organic listings. The latter refers to the results that are provided by the search engine itself as you search for a particular keyword or phrase in the search box.

Web site ranking promotion companies generally aim to enhance visibility of your Web site in the organic search results and as much as possible, maintain top site ranking. When achieved these could lead to more traffic visiting your Web site, more targeted audience going to your site, more leads and sales.

Link popularity campaigns are very important in every Web site promotions since a Web site’s ranking heavily depends on the number of incoming links it has. Each link attracts constant customers and thus, adds value to the page of a Web site. The more links the Webpage has, the more “valuable” it is.

However aside from links, there are several other factors that greatly affect a site’s ranking. These are keywords in the domain name, site directory and file names; Web page title and tags; and keyword density and proximity. All these can be controlled by a Webmaster or a SEO to optimize the site for better search engine positioning.

Most of the times a new website is launched one of the primary objective is to generate revenues or leads from that website. The most commonly adopted strategy to accomplish this is SEO and Link Building.
However in order for any site promotion to be successful the Webmaster must understand website visitors preferences. Only then will the Webmaster be able to enhance revenues from the site.

The Webmaster must undertake real time visitor activity monitoring of his website. The information which a webmaster must have access to is – Who refers most visitors to the website, the keywords being used in search engines to find the site, the country from which most visitors come, web pages through which visitors enter and exit the site.

The Webmaster must understand the visitor behavior of the website and must know the average amount of time spent by visitors on the site. The pages where the visitors spend the least amount of time on the website must be reviewed and improved upon. On the other hand most downloaded files (white papers, brochures etc) should also be understood and improved upon.

The Webmaster must monitor the effectiveness of various search engine promotion programs, and the frequency with which search engines and web crawlers visit the website. If the site caters to visitors from much geography than the site content must be modified to suit the geographical location of visitors

There are a lot of theories and myths going around about links on websites. When are they appropriate? Can link exchange programs actually help increase your ranking on search engines? And how do banners fit in there?

First of all, whenever someone else links to your website, it counts as one “vote” for your website. It especially helps if the link uses keywords that you want people to search for. If an image is used, the “alt” tag should have keywords in it. So technically, yes, link exchange programs can help increase your ranking on some search engines.

However, you still have to decide if putting reciprocal links on your website will be appropriate. After all, it does you no good to get people to your website if they immediately leave because you have a lot of unprofessional looking links on your site. Here are some guidelines for what kind of links are appropriate and useful:

Links that are to websites…

  • Related to your industry
  • Not competing directly with your business
  • That have the same target audience you do
  • For businesses you have some sort of partnership with
  • That will give more information on products/services on your site

In general, link exchange programs and most banner programs will not be able to consistently give you results that are appropriate. Instead, spend a little extra time on your website and handle all the links and advertising yourself. Not only will you have much more control over what is displayed, but you cut out the middle-man with advertising, which means that much more revenue for you. And, of course, it will make your site that much more professional looking.

Designing a Reciprocal Link Campaign can be a tricky endeavor. As a webmaster, you must choose your linking partners wisely. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself one question: “Will this be a valuable resource to my readers?” If you view it as a legitimate, valuable website, chances are Google will too.

Below you will find 7 tips for avoiding the major pitfalls new web developers often encounter.

1.) Do not link to sites that are irrelevant to yours. Search engines only view relevant reciprocal links as a means of improving your Page Ranking.

2.) Avoid sites that have a “Links Page” that is hard to find. Some sites don’t even connect their home page to the links page. If this is the case, you probably will not benefit from the exchange.

3.) Avoid sites that contain more than 25 to 50 links per page. Your link will be hard to find, plus the site has the potential to be viewed as an FFA site. Better safe than sorry.

4.) Do not link to sites with directories that are haphazardly arranged with no categorization. Again, it could be a “Link Farm;” plus your site’s address will be hard to find.

5.) Make sure you only link to sites that you deem worthy of your readers’ time. Avoid sites that don’t contain valuable information. The best way to gain readership is by offering a valuable resource!

6.) Avoid sites that have poor linking strategies and/or are connected to “Link Farms.” You don’t want to be lumped into a category with sites like these.

7.) Avoid linking to a lot of sites with a low PR. A few are ok, but generally aim for sites with a higher PR than yours.

Once you have found websites that you want to exchange links with, start networking! Email other webmasters and tell them all of the reasons their readers will benefit from reading your site. Show them that their site will be prominently displayed in a small organized directory on your page as well.

Send a pre-made html link to your site so that it’s a simple cut-and-paste job for them. If the exchange appears to be too time consuming, most webmasters will overlook your request. Most importantly, show politeness and courtesy in your emails. You will be surprised at how many people respond to your inquiry when asked appropriately.

If you still have trouble finding reciprocal links, try creating contests on your own site. Offer a small prize, or simply a prominently displayed link on your homepage. If your site distributes a newsletter, offer free advertising for participating link partners.

If you find a site you really like, write a short review about it and display the site’s link. It will be hard for a webmaster to pass up the opportunity to brag about a good review. Get creative! The more web developers you talk to, the more possibilities there are for increasing your link popularity. The key is, be patient, and be persistent. Even if you only acquire one third of the links you pursue, your efforts will be well-rewarded.

Another great way to increase your backlinks is to submit your websites to top link directories using Directory Submitter.

Have you even been to CNN’s website? Odds are you have, and have read quite a bit of news. The reason people read the news is because news reporters and anything news related really are almost always highley credited. If you see something on the news, odds are it’s not any old half baked scheme, or false bit of information. This is why news coverage is the best!

To get started, you need to create and send out press releases. Now here is the tricky part. To get these releases popular and quickley put out, you need to make them very outrageous and catchy, because that is what the average news reader wants to read. Reporters are keen on this too, and can easily tell a good, eye catching article from a poor, false article.

Gimmicks sell! Do something outrageous on your release, like offering every 5th customer the package for free! Or you could even just give away a sample or tidbit about your product for a limited time. The limited time offer is great, as it offers incentive for a customer to make the sale quickly.

Many news reporters suggest putting something radical, almost offensive titles and information in your press releases, to garner the most publicity.

For example, I remember a friend of mine built a few computers for his father’s business. His father was so proud of the work he got an article put up in the paper about his son’s ability to work hard and put togethor good, solid computers. Within 2 weeks, they had recieved almost 20 phone calls from subscribers to that very same paper asking him to do the same with their business or private computers. That’s a conversion rate of basically 100% Now can you tell me with a straight face that all of your visitors make you money?

There is a lot to be said regarding Paid Per Click Advertising and Link Popularity. I will briefly explain the two and the merit of each.

Paid Per Click Advertising, simply abbreviated as PPC Advertising, is performance based advertising where advertisers spend money for every visitors that go to their website, depending on their objectives. This is a new way of advertising pioneered by Google. With this kind of advertising, webmasters will be able to quantify their return on investment and adjust their marketing dollars accordingly.

Why do advertisers use PPC advertising? Quite simply, advertisers can get an idea on how much they spent and what they expect from it. If one click costs an advertiser $ 0.50, then he can expect certain number of visitors with certain budgets. Furthermore, PPC advertising is one of the fastest way of getting visitors to a website. Registration is simple and an ad campaign can be prepared for as little as 5 minutes. If a webmaster want to grow big and quickly and he has the means to do that, then PPC is probably the best way to go.

Link Popularity on the other hand is geared towards a long-term survival for a website. One of the drawback of link popularity is the time taken to receive considerable amount of links from other websites. It can take months or longer. On the other hand, link popularity is more permanent than PPC advertising. Once your budget is spent on PPC, your source of new visitors are gone. Link Popularity stays there. If you have 1000 backlinks and it draws 50 visitors per day, then the chance is you will get that much visitors for the foreseeable future.

Another nice feature of building link popularity is that it costs you nothing in term of money. All you have to do is writing more contents or submit your websites to free web directories widely available.

One of the biggest drawback of building link popularity is time. As you may know, time is money. You won’t get lots of backlink in a short amount of period without spamming or buying a text link. Furthermore, you may not have much content and writing contents take time. This constraint can be solved if you have money to spend. You can spend money buying copyrighted articles for your websites’ content. You can also buy some individuals who will then submit your websites to hundreds of directories.

It all goes back to you. If you are pressed for time, you need to spend money to speed up the process. But if i were to choose, I’d prefer spending money on building link popularity rather than PPC advertising. The reason is simple. In attracting constant new visitors, link popularity lasts longer than PPC advertising.

I discovered pay per click marketing in late 2001, launching my first campaign with Google Adwords. At the time, I was managing a search engine optimization (SEO) project for an industrial controls manufacturer and immediately recognized the potential of this new channel.

I opened a Google Adwords account, compiled a list of keywords, and developed a small group of text ads. Within five minutes of my campaign going live, the four lines of text that I had crafted into an advertisement were appearing on the right side of Google’s search results. More importantly, targeted visitors began trickling into my client’s website; the power of this marketing platform really struck a chord with me. I had achieved visibility on Google’s highly coveted first page using the same keywords being optimized through my “natural search” project.

Let me distinguish between paid listings and natural search listings – I am not suggesting that they are equal in value, but rather competitive in value. Natural listings enjoy a higher perceived relevancy in the eyes of search users; however pay per click advertising, when managed properly, affords businesses immediate penetration into desirable search engine result pages (SERPS). Additionally, paid search marketing is much more flexible in its approach to targeting markets and budgeting for return on investment.

Search engine optimization is a valuable strategy that can deliver a strong return on investment when properly managed. Businesses can cultivate a web presence that organically ranks high in the search engine results pages, delivering requests for quote and product sales. By the same token, the effective implementation of SEO is a long term strategy, often requiring months of development and significant project costs before a return on investment is realized.

Pay Per Click marketing on the other hand is completely measurable, making it possible to monitor profitability on a real time basis. Furthermore, the pay per click model enables marketers to revise their advertisements, budgets, and target audience(s) on a real time basis. This flexibility, when properly harnessed, is the key to an industrial manufacturer’s success in the world of Internet marketing.

Most business-to-business companies sell a spectrum of products or services, organized under different categories, and appealing to slightly different customers. Traditionally, industrial manufacturers relied on trade journals and tradeshows to promote their goods and services. Unfortunately, the costs associated with these marketing channels are proportional to the number of products or services being advertised.

For example, if a pump manufacturer wanted to showcase their entire product line at a tradeshow, more booth space would be necessary to accommodate all of the pump types. Additional costs might also include the extra freight charges associated with shipping the pumps to and from the show. Ultimately, the resources (read = time & money) required to actively promote a spectrum of products through tradeshows are directly linked to participation costs.

This same dilemma extends to trade journal advertisements, where marketing multiple products simultaneously translates into multiple advertisements and escalating costs. If the same pump manufacturer wanted to target market each type of pump they sell, they would either need multiple advertisements or one very large spread. Promoting an entire product line through a single print advertisement typically dilutes the marketing message and cripples the ad’s return on investment. By the same token, running multiple advertisements or larger multi-page spreads cost money.

Furthermore, successful marketing through tradeshows and trade journals depends on more than just money. For example, tradeshow participation is only effective when the person manning your booth is a trained salesman, schooled in the techniques of business development and lead generation. Simply placing your lead engineer or technical support rep at a table full of products is not going to produce sales…at least not in the capacity you expect. In turn, some training may be required to maximize your presence at an exhibition.

Printed advertisements are typically created by graphic artists and experienced copy writers who can communicate a product’s benefits and features in a professional and practical manner. These skills are often sub-contracted and usually require in house participation to ensure that the marketing message is correctly expressed. Aside from the high hourly costs associated with graphic designers and copy writing professionals, your sales team and/or engineers will end up dedicating a percentage of their time reviewing the proposed creative, making suggestions, and ultimately approving the finished advertisement – and all of these steps happen before the ad is even published.

Both scenarios illustrate the shortcomings of these traditional advertising channels…expensive, inflexible, and a return on investment that is difficult to measure. Furthermore, successful marketing through tradeshows and trade journals depends on a wealth of skills and expertise that often cost money. Whether these additional costs come in the form of sales training or graphic design and copywriting services, the end result is stiffer marketing costs, coupled with poor ROI tracking.

What can an industrial manufacturer to do about escalating marketing costs and aggressive competitors? I can think of three words for you – Pay Per Click.

Coined by sales professionals as the purest form of direct marketing, pay per click advertising addresses industrial manufacturers’ three biggest concerns – cost, feedback, and return on investment.

With pay per click advertising, industrial manufacturers can regulate their marketing spend on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Preset budgets make it easy to control costs and establish a baseline for measuring return on investment. When advertising through the Google or Yahoo paid search network, return on investment is easily calculated through comprehensive reporting that provides all of the information required to make smart decisions about how and when to optimize ad dollars, driving more leads, requests for quote, and sales.

The difference between pay per click marketing and tradeshows or trade journals is the extraordinary control available to the advertiser. An experienced pay per click manager can manipulate the quality and volume of search traffic that is driven to an industrial manufacturer’s website. Through keyword research, targeted ad copy, and an effective display URL, pay per click managers can “choose” the audience seeing their advertisements. Furthermore, they can determine the price (value) of each prospect clicking through to the company’s website, relative to the product or service being offered.

At the end of the day, it boils down to simple math…lets compare tradeshows and trade journals to Pay Per Click advertising. On average, attendance at a single tradeshow costs the average industrial manufacturer approximately $4,500; this figure includes registration fees, sales staff, and travel expenses. Additional costs not covered in that figure may include the booth display, marketing materials, and promotional items.

A trade journal advertisement costs approximately $3,900 for a half page, four color placement in a single issue. Expenses not covered in that figure may include ad photography, graphic design, and copy writing services.

Pay Per Click marketing on the other hand is not associated with average costs because each campaign is customized to meet the unique needs of the industrial advertiser. Instead, we’ll look at the average cost per click, which represents a qualified (interested) visitor accessing your company’s website for more information on the product(s) advertised. Generally speaking, most industrial manufacturer’s can expect to pay between 25 to 50 cents per click.

In other words, imagine a tradeshow whose participation costs were based solely on the number of people who approached your booth looking for more information on the specific products your company sells. From the perspective of a trade journal advertiser, your costs per issue would be based on the number of people who actually saw your printed ad placement and then accessed your company’s website looking for more information on the specific product(s) being promoted.

The quick math suggests that in order for tradeshows to compete with Pay Per Click advertisements, your company’s booth should be visited by at least 9000 ($4,500 x .50 = 9000) interested prospects per show. By the same token, each printed ad placement in a trade journal should yield at least 7,800 ($3,900 x .50 = 7800) targeted visitors to your website. Apart from the doubtful likelihood of either scenario, the absence of detailed reporting through either of these advertising channels makes it impossible to accurately track their ROI performance.

In summary, it would be unfair to suggest that a direct comparison can be made between any of these marketing channels. Tradeshows represent a unique opportunity to form personal relationships on the front lines, while enjoying valuable face time with associates. Neither a trade journal advertisement nor a pay per click marketing campaign can provide these benefits. Trade journal advertisements are a great branding tool, cultivating perceived value and expertise that translates name recognition into product sales.

In closing it is most important to recognize the individual strengths of these marketing channels – however it should be noted that pay per click is the most cost effective and measurable form of advertising available.

The number one sign that you may be experiencing click fraud is that your pay-per-click campaign costs are continuing to rise while your online sales are not meeting expectations. Sometimes if a keyword is too broad you may also experience this. If your cost per click is really sky rocketing then you are most likely experiencing click fraud. Click fraud usually happens to people who are in a number one position or who are competing for a highly contested keyword.

The number two sign of possible click fraud is that your conversion rate for paid searches are lower than the conversion rate of your free listings. Somebody probably wants you out of the way as far as competition goes. If your keywords are the same for free listings and paid listings your conversion rate should be almost the same.

The third sign of click fraud is that the cost-per-click for each of your best performing search terms have been steadily increasing. If you are paying more and the performance of the best search terms are plumeting then this is most likely click fraud.

The fourth sign is that you suspect your competitors are deliberately driving up your costs by generating fraudulant clicks. The internet is a competitive market and I don’t think people should be accused of click fraud without reason. Unfortunately there are dishonest people out there.

The last reason is that you do not have a tool in place that is specifically designed to catch click fraud. Tools may help, but knowledge will be more helpful. One way to avoid click fraud is to not compete for the number one position of keywords, especially highly contested keywords. Be careful and knowledgeable. Every click counts.
