When people look to submit their sites to the major search engines,  there are some key mistakes that should be avoided for successful  promotion.

Spam

The surefire way of getting your site blacklisted from the major search  engines. Many people see creating thousands of cloaked or doorway pages  with hidden text as the quick route to ranking success. It isn't. 

Untargeted Traffic

It's one thing to generate lots of new traffic to your site, but is it  the right traffic? If you're selling DVD's for example, you want  potential buyers to visit, not people who are searching for pictures of  a certain movie star. Best to make it clear in your meta information  exactly what your site does, then you'll get the type of clientele you're  after!

Single Keywords

Unless you're in some incredible niche marketplace where a single word  can only be identified with your product with few competitors, single  keywords aren't going to hit the bullseye in a traffic sense. Multiple  word keyword phrases are the key to traffic success. Instead of going  for "books", go for "thai recipe books" or whatever your target market  is. You'll have far less competition for that keyword phrase than just a  single word. Believe us, we've worked on a bookseller's site.

Poor Design

There's no way around this one. You can have the best rankings in the  world, but if your site looks bad, you'll lose that traffic as soon as  it arrives. Good, simple, clean design always wins - sloppy design and  gimmicks don't!

I Don't Need Links

Oh yes you do. Links are crucial to the traffic building game. Without  links to your site from others (if they're competitors, even better),  good meta information won't be enough. Most search engines will rank  your webpage according to its popularity with its peers. if a lot of  sites link to yours, it must be good, so Google & Co. will boost your  rating (link popularity algorithms).

Messy Meta Tags

It's worth spending a bit of time getting your meta tags in order - they  tell search engines what your site's about, and act as a basic  marketing tool to attract visitors to your site. Check the spelling and  make them relevant and you'll be off to a flyer. Read our dedicated  article here.

Stickiness

Page design and marketing are inseperable. Once you've attracted your  visitors, your traffic building exercise has gone well and your site  looks good, what are you offering which will encourage return visits?  Regular site updates are very useful since your site will appear active  and worth revisiting. The most successful sites we've worked on have  been regularly updated. After all the effort you've gone to in gaining  traffic, it's worth considering how to hang on to it.

Messy Code

After the search engine robots have visited your site, they'll see the  meta information first, then they'll scan your page for the first chunk  of relevant text. A large number of sites have cluttered code (Javascript  usually) after the meta tags. This will not help your search engine  ranking since the relevant text will be too far down the page. Try  hiving the Javascript code (or similar) into another file and refer to  it from the HTML.

Beware of Rogue "Experts"

Before handing your hard earned money over to "Site Submission Experts",  be sure to find out exactly what you're getting. They may claim to be  able to submit your site to "30,000 engines", but let's be honest, there's  only a handful which create almost all the search traffic on the web,  so you can submit yourself. Some firms claim to guarantee you a Top 20  ranked page - yes, if your search phrase is 8 words long. It's not that  easy in reality. Reputable firms can help you optimize your pages, and  advise you on how best to market your site to your target audience, so  best to do some homework first.

Patience

Building traffic is an ongoing activity. After your initial hard work,  you should check your pages on the engines and "tweak" them if the  results aren't as you expected. Traffic is the oxygen of the Internet  and your site is dead without it, so regularly give your code a tune-up  and resubmit if necessary. Don't oversubmit though. If you look at your  server logs, you'll see the major engine robots visiting on a regular  basis, they'll pick up your changes soon enough if you can afford to  wait a week or so. 

All the best with your traffic building efforts!

PART 1 -  Essential Rules For Effective Email Marketing


If you want an email campaign to succeed, you don`t want to offend anyone when sending your messages.  Turn off a consumer with your email and you can be sure they`ll tune out your message.  Don`t let this happen to you!

A message that earns respect makes sales.  That`s why our first topic for discussion is email etiquette. (Later in the course, we`ll talk more about how to write an email sales letter.)

Train yourself to always -- and I mean ALWAYS -- stick to the rules below when crafting your email message.

RULE #1 - ALWAYS WRAP YOUR LINES AT 65 CHARACTERS OR LESS

Whenever you write an email, always format the lines so that they`re 65 characters, or less, across.  To do this, you may need to do a "hard return" by hitting "Enter" at the end of the line.

Wondering why to limit your lines to just 65 characters? (Good question!  It shows you`re thinking.)  There are two reasons that "less is more":

-- The first thing to remember is that looking at a computer screen for a long time causes EYE FATIGUE for many readers. The shorter span of characters across the screen makes reading easier and more appealing to the recipient of your email message.

-- The other reason to go short instead of long is this: some email clients AUTOMATICALLY ENFORCE LINE-WRAPPING at 60-65 characters on received messages.  If your email is wrapped at 70, the content will arrive all "chopped up." This makes it unattractive...and worse -- unappealing.

  -- Tip within a Rule #1:  Email clients such as Outlook Express allow you to SET THE LINE-WRAP to any
character-width you choose.  That means you won`t have to hit Enter each time after typing 65 characters.  Makes life easier!

  -- Tip within a Rule #2 - You can type 65 asterisks or dashes in a Notepad file to create a template.  Then paste your email below it to see if any lines extend too far to the right.


 RULE # 2 - BE CAREFUL USING ALL CAPS

How many times have you changed the TV channel to avoid listening to a screaming car salesperson?  No one likes a screaming salesperson...and no one likes a "screaming" email
message, either.  Odds are, when someone has over-amped the volume of their message by using too many capital letters (not to mention too many exclamation points and other
punctuation) - you`re going to be turned off.

On the Internet, email messages written in all caps are considered yelling. It`s okay to write some sentences and some words in all caps, but don`t go overboard.  (As you can see in this message, I`ve tried to use capital letters to help break up sections of the content from time to time)

-- Tip within a Rule:  Consumers buy from a source they trust.  Emails in all caps are perceived as "shady" or uneducated, and have an appearance that damages the credibility of an offer.


RULE #3 - WATCH YOUR Ps & Qs (Spelling and Grammar)

Would you be influenced by an email selling you something that had noticeable spelling and grammar mistakes?  Sure you would...and the influence would be negative, not positive! When a consumer reads a sales message that`s filled with errors, they think to themselves, "Good grief, this person doesn`t even take the time to get his emails right.  His product is probably the same quality as his emails."

When you`re in business, YOUR IMAGE IS YOUR REPUTATION and your reputation is the reason people buy from you or the guy down the block.  It`s essential that you create an image of INTEGRITY, CREDIBILITY, and HONESTY in the mind of your prospects. Sending emails filled with errors doesn`t
hurt your professional image...it destroys it.  (Ouch!)
