Tip of the Day |

When visiting your website, potential customers may have questions in regard to your products and services. It is
very important that you provide your visitors with your complete contact information and answer their questions as
quickly as possible. Your personal response can literally determine whether or not you're going to make a sale.
Today's tip is by Shelley Lowery, webmaster of Web-Source.net

Getting Honest
With The Search Engines
By Daria Goetsch (c) 2002 Search Innovation
|
Paid Inclusion:
Paying a one-time fee or (as is most recently the case) a yearly renewable subscription fee to be included in the
Search Engine results. Directories also use this style of service to accept submissions. Paid inclusion does not
guarantee that you will be listed with the Search Engine or Directory, but gives a shorter time-line of acceptance if
they do.
PPC (Pay-Per-Click):
Overture is the most popular
PPC engine. You bid an amount per keyword phrase to get the highest ranking in the Overture search results
compared to your competitors.
Google AdWords Select:
Google AdWords is a program that uses your
chosen keywords in an ad in the Google Search Engine results in order to promote click-throughs.
Log Stats Programs:
Having a log stats program is very helpful in tracking your visitors, finding which keywords they are searching on to
enter your website, tracking which pages they leave from and much more. Analog
is a good free log stats program. WebTrends is a
popular paid logs program used by many businesses.
Free Submissions Take Patience:
After paying for inclusion, try submitting to some of the secondary Search Engines and directories. Long before
Google was a household word, I thought it might become popular and submitted the company website. It certainly
paid off a year later when Google became the best of the upcoming Search Engines.
Another avenue to venture down are specialty directories. As the web grows larger over time, specialty directories
(also known as vertical portals or "vortals") focused on your business area may help you get more link popularity
and your company name out to the public.
STAY HONEST
Stay honest, create good content and do your homework when hiring for services.
Using affordable Search Engine Marketing services, you will add to your audience exposure on the web. In this
way you will always be ahead of the game and hopefully, ahead of your competitors.
