IT IS NOT EVERYDAY...

It is not everyday that you launch a new website. It is even less everyday that you launch a new domain and experience significant site traffic within just a few weeks.

My newest site was launched in the middle of December, 2003. As such it has only been in operation for less than six weeks.

Did I expect that within the first six weeks after the unofficial launch of my site that I would have served over 1800 unique visitors to my new domain? Definitely not.

Did I expect to be generating most of that new traffic from the search engines within one week of placing the first page of content on the site? Certainly not.

Did I expect to be rushing out within the first month to do the research necessary to find additional content for the website and to offer more relevent affiliate programs and products to be featured on my domain? I did not. Truth is, I found myself on the run after only ten days.

Did I expect to be experiencing significant traffic without any paid advertising or articles promoting my website? This coming from the guy who has successfully exploited the power of free reprint articles to promote his own businesses for the last few years. No, I did not expect that at all. And yet, this is my first article referencing my new site.

SO WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE LAUNCH OF THIS DOMAIN?

That is a good question. And fortunately, I have an answer for you.

There are three factors that have contributed to these early successes:

1. Keyword Rich Content - The content on this site features the precise keywords that people are using in their search queries.

2. Highly Targeted Content - The content on my site is attracting people who are looking for exactly what I am offering.

A search on Google for the following keyword combinations

- television owner manuals
- television user manuals

provide number 3 and 4 results respectively.

My content is aimed at folks looking for information about their "home entertainment electronics." My products are directly related to what these folks will be in searching for in the marketplace.

3. A Well-Written Press Release - An effective press release will always highlight the things that are newsworthy about your business.

Relevancy - The New Black for Online Marketing?
Information OverloadWith information overload rapidly killing traditional forms of online advertising - today the key to effective marketing is relevancy.Smaller businesses with a niche or limited product range are more often than not focused by default but for the larger company with a diverse product range the ‘all things to all men’ approach to advertising is becoming less and less effective.Monthly newsletters may have worked in the past but with the online marketing juggernaut churning out newsletters after newsletter along with countless other marketing material the newsletter is loosing its punch.With over zealous spam filters and the sheer weight of marketing material it is not enou

Free Marketing Tip #4: Share Your Knowledge
If you're a small business owner or an independent professional offering a service, you very likely know a lot about whatever it is you do. For example, if you're a chiropractor, you know a lot about health and wellness. If you're an accountant, you know a lot about financial matters. If you're a coach you know a lot about helping people accomplish their goals and achieve success in whatever aspect of their life or business you coach them in.Sharing what you know is an excellent way to market yourself and your services.And the best part is, in most cases it won't cost you a dime. So, for those who are on a tight budget, it is ideal.This is not giving away your services for free, but rather in

Catching and Keeping Attention: The Resume Cover Letter
Though the resume will detail why you are right for a position, the resume cover letter will explain why employers should bother with the resume. Though often overlooked, the cover letter is an essential part of the interview process. It is your first impression. Potential employers will scan this for the facts, seeing if they should even bother with your resume. If you present a well structured and informative cover letter, you are sure to get a second look; if not.... your resume is likely to be tossed aside.A resume cover letter, therefore, must be given the same amount of attention the resume gets. To do this, we will outline some simply steps for you to take:One: remember the intention. A cover letter is s

You Never Have a Second Chance to Make a First Impression: Position Your Company Wisely
One of the most profound statements made on the subject of positioning comes from Louis Carroll's, Alice In Wonderland. When Alice asks the Cheshire Cat which path to take, he responds, "If you don't care where you're going, it doesn't make a difference which path you take."Your positioning statement is the foundation on which all communications activities are based upon. It is the most important marketing practice, and often the most overlooked. Without clearly defined messages and positioning, promotion efforts are fruitless.From a management perspective, positioning is the cornerstone of an effective communications plan. A well-crafted positioning statement defines your company's direction. A positionin

Within the four days since I put out the press release, I have had 108 media contacts pick up on the press release. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/1/prwebxml99688.php

Due to the fact that it has only been four days since its release, it is going to take some additional time to determine the true effectiveness of the release, but early results look good.

My release was published in the HDTV Magazine's online news feed at: http://www.hdtvforum.com

This is great since the people viewing the HDTV Magazine site are in my target market. And, I have already noted traffic to my new site from hdtvforum.com .

OTHER TOOLS OF NOTE...

I refer to my site rankings at Alexa on a weekly basis. Alexa strives to determine the popularity of a single domain over set periods of time.

Alexa makes its determinations based on the usage patterns of the people who have installed the Alexa Toolbar to be used in conjunction with their Internet Explorer software.

On the first view of my new site at the Alexa website, I scored a popularity rating somewhere in the two million plus range.

Now, Alexa strives to show every visitor an overall popularity / traffic average for a site over the course of the previous 90 days. Of course, their results are going to somewhat skewed since not everyone uses the Alexa toolbar, but the results can show the webmaster a simple barometer of their website traffic.

Alexa compiles their data on a daily basis and recompiles their overall traffic ranking for each site on a weekly basis.

In the six weeks since I unofficially launched my new site, I have moved up considerably in the Alexa ratings. My official Alexa 3-month rating resides at 580,506. However, my weekly rating is sitting at 238,838. Not bad for a site that was only an idea six weeks ago.

It all started to go pear shaped when we hired the third project manager. It’s not to say that he was not good at his job. If anything, it is because he was good at his job that we are in this personal mess right now, even though the project is in better shape than it ever has been...

Steps - it is unrealistic for most salespeople to expect to make a sale in a single step. Most sales don't end after a single phone call. If you’re selling a complex product or service you won't get the order after a single face-to-face sales call. There are a number of steps involved in making a sale. If you want to make more sales, more quickly, more profitably, and do it more often you need your own personalized selling model.

Responsible e-mail marketing practices are rarely followed by many businesses today. Correct e-mail marketing practices will provide businesses with advanced consumer behavior data (segmented) and customer preference information rarely seen from other direct marketing tools....
