090217 Websites Newsletter, Social Bookmarking, Blogging

Hello Business Website Customers and Associates,

We all want more visitors to our website, because that means more business.

One of the best ways to get more visitors is to show up at the top of searches.

See the article for some thoughts on how to get to the top.

If you would like us to do some work to help you get found, let me know.

What we will do is set you up with a blog and at least one bookmarking website. We will do all the needed configuration, make initial posts, link back to your website.

This should give you a serious head start on your competition, especially if your competition is regional. Few, if any, of your regional competition are doing this.

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

1. Blog and bookmarking to help your website get found

When you can get to the first or second page on Google, your website is busy selling for you, without you having to do any work. What a great sales person.

Everyone wants to get to the top. However, the competition is not as tough as it might seem.

Few people are inclined to go to the touble to do the things it takes to get to the top, especially if you are operating in a regional or niche market.

My experiments with blogging have shown excellent results. A number of my websites are now on the first or second page of Google, at least one is number 1.

Here are some of the better results.

Website Search Words Rank Out of Hits
=================== ================ ============
- israelidancing.info israeli dancing 16/635,000
- israelipartnerdancing.com israeli partner dancing 1/264,000
- israelipartnerdancing.com partner dancing 9/4,320,000
- jewishnetwork.com jewish events 5/15,000,000
- partnershipdancing.com partnership dancing 2/2,380,000

Google keeps its algorithm a secret.

It seems, some of the key elements in getting highly ranked are:

1. Relevant to the search words
2. Quantity of content, preferably changing
3. Quantity of incoming quality links
4. Domain name
5. Incoming links from blogger
6. Age of domain registration
7. Page file name and path matching search terms

I have been experimenting with social bookmarking also and expect that to have a good result also.

Google can get you a lot of leads and you should take advantage of this marketing opportunity.

Beware that Google can also cut you off, so you cannot depend on Google. They can drop you at any time without notice and without giving you any recourse.

Develop your email list to keep your own online marketing channels open.

Business Websites Newsletter, Blogging - 090129

Hello Business Website Customers and Associates,

This is our second newsletter. Do not know yet what the frequency of these newsletters will be. The first one was about a month ago.

I have been experimenting with blogging. See below for more information.

Last newsletter we introduced email marketing. This is a reminder for you to keep email marketing on your to do list. Having a quality email list gives you more control over your business and lessens your dependence on other marketing channels. Specifically, if you have a good email list you are not as dependent on people finding you through Google.

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

1. Blog to help getting your website found on google

Blogging is short for web log and is an online journal.

There are many benefits to blogging. One benefit is helping your website get found on google.

Blogger.com is owned by google. Google loves blogger.

If you have a blog on blogger.com, google will index your blog regularly.

On your blog you can put a link to your website. Google will find your website through blogger. This will help your page ranking on google.

To create a blog, go to www.blogger.com.

I have a blog for this newsletter.
