A Single, Simple Online Advertising Campaign That Save You Money
If you have an Online Business you are most likely banging your head against the wall and wondering how to increase Traffic, Search Engine Ranking, and get your Relevant Keywords and Content to align in way that will Finally make you some Money. Oh, and let's not forget about those One Way Links that you need for your ranking. There is only one solution that I am aware of that combines all of these elements into one Advertising Campaign.
For those of us who are trying to build a business online, traffic to our web site is of utmost concern, but in order to get the traffic you must have the right combination of relevant content and keywords. Then we wait for the search engines to spider our site, give us a decent rank and send us some visitors. It all seems so simple and straight-forward until we try to implement a strategy that will effectively make this happen. If you are your own webmaster or you have taken the challenge of work at home online business opportunities, you know how frustrating it can be to pour your heart and soul into a web site and have the search engines consider you marginally relevant. You may begin to get a trickle of visitors to your web site or an affiliate site that you are promoting, but nothing compared to what you need. You will quickly learn that you need hundreds or thousands of visitors a day to really make money. This is the point at which most people begin to seek SEO (search engine optimization) and consider and research various advertising campaigns.
Some of the early research I did, led me to "Adwords Gurus" who promised a rainbow at the end of my ppc campaign. One of the most challenging endeavors on earth, is to try and optimize a web site for content and keywords. As you tweak your keywords it will almost always screw up your content. As you change your content it messes up your keywords. If you try to start a PPC (pay-per-click) campaign at this point in the process, you will soon find yourself completely absorbed in a mind-numbing cycle of Optimization. Select a list of keywords, bid on the keyword price, watch your statistics. Tweak your keyword list, increase your bids, decrease your bids, watch your statistics. A ppc campaign soon becomes an all encompassing exercise in futility, but the addiction can become overwhelming as you watch the search engines do something unimaginable with your keywords and content; or is it your content and keywords. Did I bid too high, did I bid too low? Why are my competitors getting better keywords for lower bids? So, back to Tweak, Bid Optimize. Optimize, Bid, Tweak. It feels like you are tossing quarters into a slot-machine and hoping that there will be an eventual payout. And the odds are almost always in favor of the house. They take all your advertising money while you watch a trickle of visitors come to your web site. After my first PPC campaign, I seriously thought about joining gamblers anonymous.
As you search and seek out more fertile ground, you may stumble upon Banner Campaigns. Unless you are a Fortune 500 Company that just wants to reinforce Brand Name Recognition, stay away from banner ads. This is another futile effort. Let me ask you this... Do you honestly expect other people to pay attention to something that you yourself have become immune to? Banner ads used to work, but people have become as numb to them as they are to television ads. Banner ads are becoming fanciful and comic in hopes of capturing your attention. All they are really good for is reinforcing an already successful Brand Name. And they are quite expensive to place on just the right web pages.
After you have exhausted your advertising budget, you begin to seek Cheap and Free ways to promote your web site. As we meander through the millions of web pages that will offer us hope and redemption, we may encounter Traffic Exchanges. The concept is simple, for every visitor you send to someone else's web site, they will send a visitor to you. Traffic exchanges are great for web sites that already have a lot of visitors. They are worthless to those who do not. Wait until you have the enough visitors to support such a campaign before you start one.
The simplistic form and appeal of Classified Ads cannot be overlooked. There are thousands of classified ad sites on the Internet, and each one will render a promise of results. If you haven't figured it out by now, I will explain it. Hardly Anybody Reads Classified Ads Anymore! You may get lucky on a site like Craig's, if you have "the perfect ad", but most of these sites are not worthy of your time and effort. For the most part, classified ads are the last resort for web site promotion and advertising.
There is only one method of Free advertising that covers all the necessary areas of web site promotion:
Reinforcing your Keywords and Content,
Getting better Search Engine Visibility,
Creation of One Way Links,
Driving Traffic to your Web Site.
