Submit targeted keywords


Submitting an extended list of keywords may be not be useful. In fact, you won’t get as many potential customers to your website with an extended list of keywords as you would with focused and targeted keywords. Besides, you would also end up paying more without any benefits.
Targeted keywords would ensure that only those visitors who are actually interested in your product or service click on the search listing and visit your website. Thus, there are more chances of a visitor becoming a loyal customer.

Re-evaluate and adjust your bids


If you determine that the traffic generated by a specific keyword is more valuable to you than other keywords, you can go online and immediately raise your bid for that term. You will instantly increase your traffic.
It would be a good idea to even track the patterns of which days and times generate the most sales from Search Engine traffic. During this prime time, you should raise your bids to increase traffic. As soon as the slot ends, you should lower your bids to the old levels.

Develop a professional shopping cart design


Quality and credibility should be given prime importance in an online business. They are the key characteristics that decide the success and failure of an online business.
Credibility is the most important among the two, especially in case of online shopping businesses. The online store of your website is one of the vital parts of your online business.
The store front of your website is your corporate identity, and hence should be highly professional as well as user-friendly. Shabby, cluttered or copied shopping cart formats will decrease the leads/sales.
An e-commerce shopping cart design should have professional & clean looks. It should have user-friendly shopping cart applications. A good online shopping cart should be customer and owner friendly simultaneously. It should have methods to edit, store and update the pages. You should also be able to create invoices, edit orders and create new pages for your products.
Cutting edge design is very important for a shopping cart. The design should be attractive, systematical, and easy to comprehend. The products should be placed in a methodical way. A great design and methodically placed content increases the credibility of your website.
Before developing a shopping cart design, you can do a comprehensive research on the most sought after shopping cart designs. Try a web search using the keyword shopping cart design brisbane to get articles written by Brisbane based designers.

ROI in search engine optimization


The key determinant that you have to use to formulate your own strategies would be to ascertain the ROI from your plan. There seem to be a surfeit of techniques, suggestions and tips for SEO. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff? Moreover, the importance of each option is closely linked to your own objective, and consequently your budget in terms of management time and expenditure. How do you measure ROI?
Americans conduct an estimated 790 million searches per week, according to research from ComScore Media Metrix. The Yankee Group reports that only 20 percent of U.S. companies tracking their search referrals are measuring performance beyond the initial click-through to the web site. This is very low. The key to a successful search engine marketing strategy is constant testing, revising and optimizing based on metrics. In order to maximize your return on investment, you must measure the performance beyond click-through—by measuring the complete interaction of your visitors with your site from acquisition to conversion to retention.
Search engine marketing is similar to advertising and other marketing campaigns. The marketing people would be interested in knowing the results of any campaign and most often the result is desired in terms of increase in company revenues. Name recognition, brand image creation and other outcomes are important; however the bottom line is sales. ROI should be able to determine your website’s conversion rate in terms of the ability to persuade your visitors to take the action that you desire them to take. At the same time, the success in terms of increase in sales depends on several other factors such as the competitiveness and value in your product or service offerings and the quality of your website to induce the visitor to take action. The search engine marketing effort is to bring the right targeted visitor, and bring the visitor to the right section at the right time. Converting such a targeted visitor to a customer is not within the ambit of SEO.
How does search engine optimization compare with other options for online advertising and promotion? Jupiter Research predicts that by 2006 the spending on E mail marketing shall be $ 9.4 billion, whereas the spending on online advertisements shall be $ 15.6 billion, and that on digital marketing initiatives such as campaigns, promotions, sweepstakes, coupons etc. shall be around $ 19.3 billion. Forrester predicts that total online advertising spend should be $ 42 billion by 2005 a significant 9.5% of total ad spending.
Costs in search engine marketing include the cost of optimization services as well as the paid inclusion and pay per click programs. Typically the cost of optimization for a small to mid-sized site through a firm may run from a few thousand dollars to over $ 50000 for a large site. If you do it in-house consider around four person months’ work plus around two person months of maintenance time over the ensuing six months.
How do you compare costs per click or costs per thousand impressions for search engine optimization vis-a-vis other forms of advertising? PwC report that the effective cost per thousand impressions or views (CPM) for an online ad is around $ 3.50 for a general site (though it could be higher at $ 10 to $ 100 for other specialized sites) compared to $ 19 for newspaper ads and $ 16 for Prime-time TV. The CPM for search engines is certainly higher, but then it leads to targeted impressions. Thus it is important to look at targeting and conversion rates, not just CPM. Clickthrough rates for ad banners, in general, can be as low as 0.4 to 0.5%. Conversion rates would show you what percentage of visitors actually resulted in business. As discussed below, this may be easier done in e-commerce sites.
Cost per click for important keywords at Overture could be as high as $ 0.50 to $ 5 or $ 10. The average bid reported according to one source is $0.73 per click (for Overture). Thus this is already lower than the cost per visitor for online ad banners. Overture can only cater to a small percentage of search traffic, while Google, Yahoo and others comprise the larger portion; thus it can be said with certainty that SEO is the most cost effective ROI generator.

Review of SEO software and submission services


The use of automatic Submit tools for the major search engines and directories may not be desirable. If you submit to some search engines incorrectly your pages could actually be deleted permanently from their index or directory. At the same time, you may find manual submissions too time consuming. Experts have suggested that you use software that submits pages as if you were doing it by hand. TopDog, Web Position Gold and Submit Wolf Pro are good choices. Some others are: CommandoPro Submission Software, Add Web Site Promoter, VSE Be Found (Mac), Submission 2000.
Be very careful in selecting the company or service that you hire for search engine optimization, if you do not wish to do it yourself. Beware of those who promise top engine rankings through the use of Meta tags or by building doorway pages or using link farms or cloaked pages (submitting pages that are different from the actual live pages). If the firm tells you that you need to improve content, position keywords carefully, and seek quality reciprocal links, perhaps that is an indication of a good firm to work with.

Understanding your customers


Logs are the best tool available for understanding your customers. Know how your customers find your Web site and why they are looking for it. This info will give you an idea about the mindset of your arriving visitors.
Log files ca tell you not only what sites your visitors originate from (whether your visitor arrives via a Search Engine or from a “regular” site), but also what keywords they enter (in the Search Engines) to find you. The keywords give you an idea of your prospects’ level of interest, as well as the kinds of benefits they seek.
Are you successfully drawing visitors through your site? A quick look at your log files will tell you. Of the people arriving to your site, how many are pulled through your page joint to the next page (or stage)? Once you know how visitors act on your site, you will understand how to change your Web site in order to improve your Conversion Rate (CR).

Use of HTML in Today’s scenario


With HTML we can create the static pages. We can create, edit, or view the HTML code for a Web page in any text editor on any computer platform, such as Windows Notepad. Creating the Web page is not just a text editing task, it is much more than that, and it is very innovative task of presenting yourself or your company on the Internet.

People argue when they can create a web page very easily with the web-authoring tools such as Microsoft FrontPage Express and Macro¬media Dreamweaver, then what is the need to learn the HTML; these tools let them create HTML Web pages in the same way you create documents in your word processor. As you can understand that today web page is just a text document, it is lot more, and when you are trying some big things, you must have knowledge about few minute things also. When you are driving a car, although you don’t need to know the internals of car, but what when the car tyre bursts in the middle, you don’t leave the car, you change it with the stapany(extra tyre) available. Sometimes there is need to view the code, if you don’t understand what each word in it means, you won’t be able to do anything.

 

Simplest way to know about executable files


If the */tmp *directory contains any of the executable file, all the sites stops. The simplest way to know executable file in a directory is by using *-F *option with *ls* command, which distinguishes directory and executable files from ordinary files. The -F option causes a slash (/) to be appended to the filename for directories and an asterisk (*) to be appended to files which are executable. For example,

*$ ls -F*
