Give Me Quality Over Quantity Every Time
Posted on May.27, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
In the early days of developing my home business, I went for the numbers instead of focusing on targeting prospects. It took me a while to appreciate the importance of targeting (quality) instead of just going for the big numbers (quantity).
For online marketing, it helps greatly to get your website in front of people who are actually looking for the product, service, or opportunity that you are offering. This refers to the concept of marketing your sites to your target [...]
Don’t Make Your Website User-UNfriendly!
Posted on Apr.13, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
Web Design is a very subjective process. Your idea of what looks good may differ from the next person’s. While wild backgrounds and flashing text were once considered ‘cool’, unwritten standards have evolved into every web designers inventory.
In the following examples I intend to convey a few of those user-unfriendly examples to you. My purpose is only to get you thinking about the layout and performance of your website. If you have one of these examples on your site, and [...]
Tracking Your Visitors
Posted on Apr.09, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
Once you’ve got some visitors, the chances are that you want to
know more about them. How many are there? Where are they from?
What web browser do they use? Luckily for you, there are plenty
of ways to find out.
Server Log Analysis
Most web servers keep a log of every file they send, with
information about the request they received. These request
headers contain all the information a user’s web browser sends
to the server when it asks for pages, images or other files. The
information includes [...]
Encryption and Security with SSL
Posted on Apr.03, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
When it comes to accepting online payments and other sensitive
information over the web, normal HTTP just doesn’t cut it. It’s
an insecure method of communication where everything is sent
over the wire in cleartext – it’s completely trivial for anyone
in a network administrator position at a business or ISP to gain
access to the network, and most networks are even vulnerable to
’sniffing’ by non-privileged users of the network.
Things are bad enough that you really shouldn’t even transmit
any passwords without taking additional security [...]
Are web graphics stealing your money?
Posted on Mar.15, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
They might not be wearing a mask and carrying a gun, but if
youve got images on your web pages then they could be costing
you a lot more money than you think every time a visitor looks
at one. Thats because image files are typically the biggest
bandwidth user on any web page. Whenever a visitors browser is
displaying an image on your site, its actually downloading that
image to the local users hard drive. When anything gets
downloaded, it uses bandwidth and bandwidth costs [...]
Popup Ads – Redesign Them and Explode Your Sales!
Posted on Dec.23, 2008, under Web Design No Comments
Most people put popup ads and Spam in the same category; they
genuinely don’t believe in their effectiveness.
However, marketing statistics show that popup ads are powerful
marketing tools that can significantly increase your sales and
subscribers to your opt-in list or newsletter. On the flip side,
popup ads are the third most hated entity on the Internet,
behind Spam and adware. This is because most popup ads are the
rude interrupting variety that traps the user into an unending
loop.
It is possible to produce Popups that [...]
Popup Killers – Not just killing that Popup but also your Revenue!
Posted on Dec.09, 2008, under Web Design No Comments
With the increased use of popups on sites – when you enter, when
you leave, while you are there – Popup killers (or stoppers) are
all the rage.
Companies use Popup killers as a marketing tool for frustrated
webusers – they kill the Popup, the webuser uses their service
be it as an ISP or Toolbar.
New ISP Disks, Toolbars, and Browsers all now come with some
form of Popup killer. While we all want to stop the frustration
of having several popups being delivered while surfing [...]
What should a beginner do?!
Posted on Dec.02, 2008, under Web Design No Comments
Maybe you have a great idea….maybe you don’t.
What you -do- know is that you want a website and you want to
make money from it.
But where do you start?
If you are like many (myself included), you feel the most
logical thing to do is to use the free space you get with your
ISP, or one of the many free website communities out there.
It gives you the opportunity to learn how to make a website,
upload it to a web server, promote it, and [...]
