Is
your business & web site targetting the right people?
Successful
websites are generally those that can attract large numbers
of traffic & there are many ways today to achieve
this. The most successful and common are listed and explained below.
At Stealth Online Solutions we also say that traffic alone is not
how to make a website successful as a business tool. The traffic
that gets to your website needs to be targetted, that means they
are interested in your business, products or message or, they will
simply click away to the next site.
For this reason we place extra importance on the following methods
of attracting targetted traffic to your site.
-
Obtaining high rankings in all search
engines for your chosen key phrases & words
-
Developing successful affiliate programs,
-
Developing and implementing linking programs
(links to from other sites)
-
Tracking and analysing online traffic patterns,
-
Advertising campaigns (eZines, classifieds, etc...)
SEARCH
ENGINES- High rankings in the search engines is the most
common way to generate web site traffic, but Search Engine rankings
is a science in itself.
The Search Engines are constantly changing their guidelines and
ranking criteria so it is important to have your website
constructed in such a way as to optimise your web site for all Search
Engines and their combinations of ranking criteria.
Understanding
Search Engines
The single most overwhelming issue facing webmasters today is how
to obtain a high ranking for your website in all the major search
engines and then more importantly, to keep it there. This is the
primary method customers, or potential customers find your business
on the Internet.
How your website is designed and written in its background web language
plays the major role in determining how your site ranks in the search
engines.
This can ofetn be overlooked when a site is being designed &
if it is not planned and develpoed the website will just never be
ranked at all let alone at the top of the rankings
AFFILIATE
PROGRAMS- are another excellent way to promote your website
and to gain more customers and sales. Affiliate programs allow other
web sites to promote your web site and or product and be paid a
referral fee, when and only when, a sale is made even.
Alternatively you can promote other companies, non competitive products,
on your site to your customer base and let them handle the sales
process. Then just wait for your referral cheque in the mail each
month.
LINKING
STRATEGIES- really means finding the correct mix of non
competitive websites and have them provide links to your website
from theirs or from their emails/newsletters. This is also an extremely
effective method of improving your site's rankings in some of the
major serach engines.
Part of the planning for any web development should include research
on all possible linking partners and formulating a strategy to maximise
this valuable method.
TRACKING
& ANALYSING- means recording all the traffic to and
from your website and is a vital component of running a successful
website. More than just how many different visitors your website
is receiving you can virtually analyse in pattern associated with
traffic on your site. Obviously this is an invaluable tool in fine
tuning and refining your website & analysing what works and
what doesn't.
It can be quite daunting for a company with their new website working
out where to host their site and how to analyse any traffic patterns,
however at Stealth OnlineSolutions it is all included in the package
we offer when developing websites for our clients.
