Google AdWords Basics Part Four – Landing Page Optimization

Google AdWords Basics Part Four – Landing Page Optimization

Google AdWords Basics Part Four – Landing Page Optimization

When using Google AdWords, your landing page should always be highly relevant to the ad you’re placing. The higher the relevancy of your ad, the better the price of your CPC per keyword. That’s just how Google does business. Don’t try to fool customers by sending them to some page you think they’ll like better (or for whatever other reason you might have to do so); in the end you’ll just be sabotaging yourself. Google knows how relevant your ads are by how much time someone who clicks on your ad stays on your landing page, as well as how many times the searched keyword appears on your landing page. There are other factors in the Google relevancy equation, however, the entire formula isn’t revealed by Google.

Landing Page Optimization is equally as important as ad optimization in Google AdWords. If someone clicks on your ad and find themselves on a page which is not directly related to the ad they clicked on, the chances are that you’ve just wasted the money you spent on that click. Maybe your ads have a great CTR, but if your cost per conversion is horrible your CTR doesn’t mean anything. Say you’re advertising a Harry Potter book; don’t link the clicker to the bookstore homepage, link them to the exact page where the Harry Potter book can be bought. If your ad mentions some sort of specific deal, make that deal visible on your landing page.

As mentioned above, your landing pages are just as relevant as the ads they’re linked from; this is why you should also split test landing pages (if you own the domain you’re using to advertise of course). To split-test landing pages, make two identical ads and just change the landing page links (you want the ads to be identical because otherwise you won’t know what the discrepancy in cost per conversion is due to). If you don’t know anything about “web -copywriting” and you have access to the source code of your capture page, you should definitely read a web-copywriting book. Testing your own ideas and layouts of landing pages can also be great, but knowing what really sparks interest in the human mind could save you a lot of money.

It is vital that the prices are affordable but it should not be set so low as to give the impression that it is of no value. Placing minimum prices puts the package value high so it does not become “merely another rubbish eBook with resale rights. ” It is wise to stick to the pricing set by the original content makers. 

 

2. There is no warehousing needed for it to be operational not like in traditional businesses. Since the products you are selling are stored electronically, there are no physical items to move about or stock up.

Link Building Course – Part Three, Methods of Link Building

Link Building Course – Part Three, Methods of Link Building

Well now you know what makes a good link, so let’s go over the methods available for getting links to your site that you have been instructed to promote. There are many, and each comes with its own positive and negative attributes. Generally speaking, the more links you get to the sites you are promoting, and the higher the quality of the links, the more benefit to you.

[] Homepage/Subpage Links: A link featured on a website: The best way of getting this type of link is email submission. It is extremely hard to get a website to give you a link without getting something in return….such as money or a reciprocal or three-way link.
mentioned above.

[] Articles: This option is only available to Advanced linkbuilders. It is basically writing a “fresh” chunk of content on a topic that relates to the site you are trying to promote. The article is between 250-500 words long and is submitted to 1 or more article syndicated websites

[] Link Directories: This type of link is obtained by searching for a relevant “link directory” browsing the topics and submitting the link of the site you are promoting for approval. This typically takes 3 days to 3 months to actually get the link accepted and displayed. It is also one of the easiest types of link building. You don’t get any points if your submission is rejected, so power of numbers is the way to make sure you make money. The point system is outlined below.

[] Forums: Find a forum related to the topic of the website you are promoting. Sign up and edit your signature in your profile. Edit it to any of the sites you wish to promote. (You can put up to 4 links in your signature) Now you go back to the forum and post a question or answer some one else’s question. When you post your signature will create a link. You can also place a link directly in your context.

[] Misc:

-MSN Myspace
-Newsgroups
-Others

[] Blogs:

[] Guestbooks:

Things to remember: Not every site will give you a link, often sites are a waste of time, it will take some time and experience to become efficient, but it is important to remember that the power of numbers is on your side.

Lets set up an example:

You are given a list of 10 websites to promote: You are given a list of everything you need except page urls. You should now go visit each of the websites you were instructed to promote and gather 20 deep-page urls and start a list for yourself. Beside each url you should come up with around 5 anchor texts or titles to use. This shouldn’t take you more than a hour. Now you have a list of 200 pages you need to link to, and enough anchor texts to link to each page 5 times. So basically you have 10 000 links. This is more than enough to get you started. You now break up each group of urls into sites and than further group them into general categories. So for instance you had a hair removal site, a acne site, a air purifier site and a cancer site, you could group those into a Health Category. Once you have all of this laid out you can start. Use the keywords given for each site to search all three search engines to find either forums, link directories and blogs. By putting the word “directory” or “blog” or “forum” beside the keyword when you search it will help you find the right type of sites. Start now by manually browsing through each site, one by one, and quickly decide if you can submit a link for free, if you can comment for free or if you can sign up and post for free. Check to see if the sites have any features that might result in a negative point by linking on them. Check to see if it is even possible to have a link on the site…as Some sites wont accept free submission, they might not allow comments, or they might not allow links in your forum posts. Every site you determine to be a potential – copy the url down into a text and move on. This is call the initial reviewing process. You want to review a few hundred sites at least…and Before you stop you want at least 50 potential sites you can add a link to for each main “category” that you grouped your sites into earlier. This will probably take a few days. especially if you follow the figures correctly. So after probably 25 hours of work you should have 10 000 links ready to be “builded to” and around 250-500 “potential” sites. You will be provided with a rough draft list of potential websites to build on.

Now start submitting your links to appropriate categories, start signing up on forums, and keeping track of every place you submitted to, what you submitted to it, and any other helpful info. Keep track of the type of forums and topics they discuss. Keep track of high page rank sites, or sites that accept free link submissions very fast. basically organize yourself so that you are most efficient. By time you have visited and submitted a link and posted some posts on all 250-500 “potential” sites you found…you Should have at least 75 backlinks…if Not 250…depending On how well you did your initial review. Whats even better….you Have a list of 75 or 250 sites that accepted your link submission or allowed you to place a link on there site or in your comments.

Make it obvious what you want the user to do after reading a page. Also make it easy for the user to reach your homepage from any other page. Those are a couple of the easy tips one can do but creating a good website is more in depth than that.

Keep in mind when you web design to make it cross platform compatible. The main factors you need to consider in platform compatibility are the user’s browser, screen resolution, color depth, and plug ins. Browser compatibility is easy – just test your site in various browsers, and fix any incompatibilities. The same goes for screen resolution – just be sure that your site looks good and is easily navigated with any common screen resolution. Color depth is also relatively simple. Try and limit yourself to just using web safe colors. Plug-ins can be somewhat complicated. If at all possible, try to use media that is compatible with most versions of a plug in. For example, try not to use a flash movie that requires the latest version of a flash player.

The best thing you can do to make your site friendly to search engines is to give it a good link structure. Be sure that each page on your site is linked to at least two other pages with a plain text link. Image links are OK, but not as good as optimized text links. Javascript and flash links are very bad for search engine usability. After all you want as many visitors as possible. Although web design can get extremely complicated, these are just a few of the basic web design tips that should get you started.

Inbound vs. Outbound Marketing

Inbound vs. Outbound Marketing

The Internet has profoundly transformed the way people learn about and shop for products. Years ago, companies reached their consumers through trade shows, print advertising, and other traditional marketing methods. Today, consumers start their shopping experience by looking on the Internet, in the search engines, the blogosphere, and social media sites. To remain competitive, businesses need to be found online by the consumers already searching for the products and services that you sell. Inbound Marketing is marketing focused on being found by customers. This concept is related to Seth Godin’s idea of permission marketing. Marketers “publish their way in” (via blogs, social media, etc.) in contrast to Outbound Marketing, where they used to have to “buy their way in” (via paid advertisements).

Traditional marketing (Outbound Marketing) is where companies focus on finding customers by advertising, cold calling, eMail blasts, and direct mail. This concept is related to intrusion marketing and Godin’s term interruption marketing.

 (Interruption)

Inbound Marketing
(Permission)

Telemarketing Search Engine Optimization Direct Mail Blogs, eBooks, White Papers Trade Shows Webinars Print Ads YouTube Videos eMail Blasts RSS Feeds TV/Radio Ads Social Media  

Outbound Marketing intrudes on the attention of consumers by interrupting them in their other activities to advertise some product or service. Outbound Marketing has become less effective in recent years because of the more sophisticated ways that there are to block these kinds of advertising, eg, do-not-call lists, spam blockers, and TiVo.

With Inbound Marketing, in contrast, instead of interrupting people with television ads, the businesses create videos that potential customers want to see. Instead of buying display ads in print publications, the businesses create their own blog that people subscribe to and look forward to reading. Instead of cold calling, the businesses create useful content and tools so that people call them looking for more information.

Successful Inbound Marketing has three essential components:

(1) Content — The most important part of a successful Inbound Marketing strategy is creating great content that will bring people to you. One of the most popular ways to accomplish this goal is to keep an updated blog.

A blog can provide many benefits to your organization and almost all of them relate to Inbound Marketing. By creating great content, you’ll rise in organic search results, create linkable content, and educate your audience. All of these outcomes will help you bring in warm leads that have been prequalified through a Google search for relevant terms or by reading similar content that links to you.

In addition to blogging, there are many other forms of great content to create that will bring interested visitors. Hosting webinars, offering e-books for download, and developing microsites will all attract leads who are interested in your offerings and are eager to engage in a conversation with you about your organization.

(2) Search Engine Optimization (SEO) —  SEO allows potential customers and others to find your content easily. It is the practice of designing your website and links to your site to maximize your ranking in search engines, where most of your visitors begin their search process. Another important element is ensuring that you have a site that is optimized to close leads into deals and engages visitors once they “land” on your website.

(3) Social Media — Social media amplifies the impact of your content. When your content is distributed across and discussed on social networks, it becomes more credible and is more likely to draw qualified customers to your site.

By sticking with these Inbound Marketing strategies, you’ll continually bring in new leads and grow; however, it won’t happen overnight. While Inbound Marketing will save you money, it does take an ample commitment and patience. You may not be in the top Google results for desired terms immediately, but by making a long-term commitment to Inbound Marketing, you will see results. This commitment requires that you create quality content through a Content Management System, interact with people through social media, and try new ideas to bring traffic to your site.

Inbound and Outbound Marketing complement each other. When you first get started, you’ll find that you do a lot more Outbound Marketing than Inbound Marketing. This is the time to experiment with all of the methods of Outbound Marketing. Try out direct eMail, advertisements, trade shows, and all of the outbound methods and find the ones that work best for you. Once you begin to gain momentum, more of your business will come from inbound methods.

A healthy combination of outbound and Inbound Marketing strategies makes a lot of sense.
