Website Design

There are a lot of misconceptions going on about how to start making money with a new or even an old site. I’ll pretend like we’re talking about a new site but the idea would be the same if it was an old site. Let’s pretend that we have a quality design, a good product and everything online is 100% ready to go. Now we need the traffic.

Let’s pretend that we are selling car parts and I have all my car parts in stock and ready to go. I have a 68 ford mustang left hand door skin, if I rank this part for the keyword car, then I’ll get people looking for new cars, car pictures, car dealers, used cars and the list goes on and on. That would be a waste of bandwidth, time and energy for me; I will not sell this part to someone looking for a new car or someone that does not even own a Mustang.

A little common sense tells me that I need to sell this to someone who is looking for a 68 Ford Mustang left hand door skin. I notice that I have a red one, blue one and a black one. I’m going to take my blue one and create a page named blue-mustang-door-skin.

On this page I’m going to write up some text about my 68 Ford Mustang Blue Door Skin. I’ll use the words 68 Blue Ford Mustang Door Skin at the start of my article, in the text, at the end of my article, in bold, in header tags, in plural and singular words and I’ll use those words together and separate from each other and in links coming and going from this page and most importantly, I’ll use them in my page title.

I’ll also have pictures of my Blue 68 Ford Mustang Door Skins that are optimized and set up for the search engines. They will rank if someone does a search in images for a 68 Blue Mustang Door Skin and they will rank if someone does a search in the organic engine for 68 Blue Mustang Door Skin because this is a non-competitive search term. I’ll have a call to action that will take my visitor to my shopping cart when he is ready to make the purchase.
On this page I’ll have links on the left hand side that will link to a page called Door Skins, 68 Red Mustang Door Skins, 68 Black Mustang Door Skins and the list will go on and on pointing people to different model and ages of cars that I have door skins for.

I’ll do this for every part and product that I’m selling. Once I finish, I will send out press releases about my new site, about my products and then I’ll write articles about my products and link those back to my products with the proper anchor text. I’ll submit these to article websites; I’ll then find car forums and start posting in those and use my signatures to link back to my product pages. I’ll create a blog and forum on my site to talk about my business and products and link to my products from that blog every chance I get. I’ll write post in my blog that we get others to link back to my blog.

I’ll create small sites like a 68 Ford Mustang website where I’ll give information and have a little forum for people that are interested in 68 Ford Mustangs to post. I’ll use this website to link to my products and help promote my main site. Once it’s going good I’ll create a new forum for 69 Ford Mustang lovers.

I could go on and on, I’ve not even started writing yet, there are so many ways to make money online.

It will take me some time and a lot of work but I will dominate the market that I’m in.

Content is an important part of any search engine optimization campaign because each article we write is another way for the search engines to find us. The more articles we write, the more words that are used and the more search results we will show up in.

With the current blogging software we are able to easily write articles and post them on our sites, once the articles have been posted the software can be set up to ping other sites to let them know something fresh has just been added to our site. This means instant traffic every time we add something new to our website along with the added benefit of traffic down the road as the search engines pick up the pages and rank them.

It’s not necessary that the content be well written when it comes to ranking on the search engines but well written content can have the added benefit of people linking to it and being picked up by bookmarking sites like Digg and many others.

There is always a downside to everything and here is the downside to this.

As more and more people begin writing fresh new content there will be more pages for the search engines to index. This will cause more competition as well as causing the search engines to start moving old text out of the way for the new. This means that good fresh well written content will be more important then ever as time roles on.

If you don’t have a blog it might be a good time to start one.

I’ve been playing around a little with some blogs and trying to figure out how to go about making a blog work for me and one of the things that really makes a blog stand out is pictures. I was playing with a blog about lawn mowers and placed a picture in the text and I think it makes it look really nice.

The picture is in black and white and I’m not sure if it’s because of the blog having the black background or if black and white cartoon pictures just look good but it made a big difference when I added the picture. I’m going to play around with the pictures some more but if it helps as much as this one seems to have helped I’m going to hire me an artist to come in and draw pictures for each of my blog post. But before I do that I’m going to play around a little with this blog and see how the pictures look here.

If the black and white cartoon pictures don’t look as good here then I’ll have to figure out something else for the pictures on this blog. At this time I do feel that pictures along with the text is a good thing but I would like to have the pictures uniformed with all the same look and feel to them. Another words if I’m going to use black and white cartoon pictures then I want all the pictures to be black and white cartoon pictures.

I know there is a lot more to a successful blog then a cartoon picture but I’m trying to make my blog work for me and it’s like a giant puzzle and I’m having to put it together one piece at a time.

I’m a bit disappointed in the traffic, I’ll continue doing the bookmarks but I need to look into some other stuff along with it. At this time I have some links from the forums as well as the bookmarks but the traffic is no where near where I would like it to be. This is day two and we are getting a little over 100 visitors per day.

I’m about to try out some other stuff but just not sure which things I’m going to try. I’m thinking that you can safely get between 100 and 200 visitors a day from the bookmarking sites and of course if you take the time to build up a good network of friends you might be able to push that number up between 500 to 1,000 (I’m going to work on that slowly) and then you have the post that makes it to page one on Digg where you can get 10,000 visitors in a day.

The think to remember about a network of friends is that trying to sell to the same people everyday is not going to cut it. You can never stop building your network it needs to get bigger and bigger everyday brining in new people otherwise you might as well sit in front of the coffee house and play checkers.

“Dominating The Market With Social BookMarking”

Bookmarking is nothing new, when you’re out surfing the web and find a site you really like and would like to return to that site later you can use your browser to bookmark that site, so it’s easy to find when your ready to return. But storing those bookmarks so others can see them is new.

There are a number of sites online that will allow you to publicly store your bookmarks so others can see the type of sites you enjoy. If you find someone that enjoys the same types of sites you enjoy, then your able to find many sites you may never know existed otherwise. It’s a craze that seems to be sweeping across the internet and one that marketing experts are starting to take notice of.

Some marketing experts are claiming to be able to dominate a marketing area as well as getting 1,000’s of visitors a day by doing nothing more then bookmarking their sites and writing good content for those sites. The amazing part is they claim to be able to do it in days instead of months.

Members of WPW and WWS, along with myself, decided to put this to the test, so I’m writing this article and will bookmark it on all the bookmarking sites.

Now the marketing expert that claims to be able to dominate the market did it in less then seven days and with a brand new domain name that had never been registered before and had no links going to the site.

I’m using a blog that allows pinging, an older domain name, and a well written header stolen straight from the marketing guy, I’ll not only bookmark the site but will write articles inside the site and bookmark them as well and this site already has links going to it. You want to talk about a stacked deck; this experiment has everything in the favor of the marketing guy.

I want him to be right, I want to be able to take a new site and get 1,000’s of visitors a day and dominate the market in less then a week.

Here we go, this article will be placed on the site and we will start our marketing efforts in dominating the market.
