			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Search Engine Optimization is really a process of choosing probably the most appropriate targeted keyword phrases relating to your site and ensuring that this ranks your site extremely in search engines so that when someone searches for particular phrases it returns your own site on tops.

New sites require not be &#8220;submitted&#8221; to search engines to be listed. A simple link from a well established website will get the search engines to visit the new site and begin to spider its contents.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A customer walks into the store, browses through products and shelves, picks up items, inspects, considers the prices, chooses a product and takes it to the cash register to pay. Now if you want to sell your products online, then your site must be enabled for e-commerce, where you must have the following features:</p>
<p>You need to provide plenty of content and product description like sizes, dimensions, colors and comparisons with other similar products. It must allow the customer to choose a product, get a clear pricing and shipping costs on the product, complete the transaction and get an order number, and/or invoice confirmation via email. Allow your customer to choose a shipping method.</p>
<p>You must tell the customer if the item is in stock or delivered against order. Ideally, you should have an email contact or live help if the customer has a question. Most importantly you must respond immediately! If you want to provide your own live chat and help desk services on your website, specialized softwares are available for purchase.</p>
<p>Be sure your customer service links are large and clearly marked, so your client does not have to dig around to find information.</p>
<p>Provide an &#8216;about us&#8217; section or a section about your policies. If you have privacy statements and customer satisfaction policies, your customer will feel better about shopping in your store.</p>
<p>You probably want to have customer quotes and references on the storefront page, as well, to let your prospective client know that others are happy with your service. Provide an FAQ with information about your return-back policies, guarantees, shipping prices and insurance charges if any.</p>
<p>If you are so inclined, you can offer a print catalogue if the customer prefers to order one from your storefront and shop in the privacy of their homes.</p>
<p>Do not annoy your customers by presenting products that are marked &#8217;sold&#8217; or pages that say &#8216;under construction&#8217; or &#8216;coming soon&#8217;.</p>
<p>Do add new content frequently, so your returning customers will not be bored by seeing the same products they saw four months ago.</p>
<p>If your site has got a date tag or has current references, be careful to change these references frequently so you don&#8217;t give the perception that nobody is attending or reading your site.</p>
<p>Lastly, you got to check out the <a href="http://www.lifegateway.com/uaw/traffic/">Traffic Bot</a> that help my website to get page rank 3, not easy though, but it really works. And it consistent bring in 50,880 visitors in the past few months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is recommended to use keywords in page titles itself. This title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it&#8217;s worth considering it in relation to them. Whatever text one places in the title tag will appear in the title bar of browsers when they view the web page. Some browsers also append whatever you put in the title tag by adding their own name, as for example Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Explorer or OPERA.</p>
<p>The actual text you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to rank your web page. In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings.</p>
<p>If you have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind that each page of your website must be search engine optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content will draw traffic to your site.</p>
<p>The unique combination of these words and phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine terms and techniques, so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or information page.</p>
<p>The most common mistake made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their business name or firm name in every title of every page. Actually most of your prospective customers do not bother to know the name of your firm until after they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book marking.</p>
<p>So, while you want your business name in the title of the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of every page on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page will display closer to the top of the search engine listing.</p>
<p>Dedicating first three positions for keywords in title avoiding the stop words like &#8216;and&#8217;, &#8216;at&#8217; and the like is crucial in search engine optimization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is worth cataloguing the basic principles to be enforced to increase website traffic and search engine rankings.</p>
<p>Create a site with valuable content, products or services. Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 words in your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document.</p>
<p>Research and use the right keywords/phrases to attract your target customers. Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your web page. Like Title, META tags, Headers, etc.</p>
<p>Keep your site design simple so that your customers can navigate easily between web pages, find what they want and buy products and services. Submit your web pages i.e. every web page and not just the home page, to the most popular search engines and directory services. Hire someone to do so, if required. Be sure this is a manual submission. Do not engage an automated submission service.</p>
<p>Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your website is doing.</p>
<p>Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc.</p>
<p>Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where your traffic is coming from. Analyze your visitor location and their incoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites and the keywords they used to find you. Make your customer visit easy and give them plenty of ways to remember you in the form of newsletters, free reports, reduction coupons etc.</p>
<p>Demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise by writing and submitting articles for your website or for article banks so you are perceived as an expert in your field.</p>
<p>When selling products online, use simple payment and shipment methods to make your customer&#8217;s experience fast and easy.</p>
<p>When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but it is a lot less expensive than spending your money on a website which no one visits.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t look at your website as a static brochure. Treat it as a dynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location, just like your real store to which your customers with the same seriousness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a web-based business or if a significant portion of your business is done on the web through your website, then the best advertising and marketing is done by submitting to a search engine. No amount of press release, newspaper or radio ad, banner ad, spam email or newsletter will achieve the same results, although, maybe effective in a small proportion.</p>
<p>Beware of companies that promise automatic submission of your website to hundreds of search engines which are but only false promises. The best way to submit your website for search engine ranking and inclusion is to do it yourself or to hire an expert to do it manually, by contacting the search engine companies and directories.</p>
<p>Before you begin to submit your website to search engines ensure your websites are thoroughly designed to the professional quality using the right key words, good graphics and pictures and the relevant content.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t submit websites that are incomplete. While submitting to a search engine, make sure to provide information about your website, keywords and any other information that may be pertinent, including the name and contact information of your business.</p>
<p>Mere submission to search engine companies does not guarantee that your site would be immediately listed and the ranking will be high. Because there are thousands of new websites coming up every day and it may take quite sometime before they take up your site for review by human editors.</p>
<p>One important factor to remember while submitting site is to include a site map of your website which makes the crawling easy for the web robots. Search engines like Google hardly considers submissions without sitemaps.</p>
<p>Apart from the Google there are thousands of search engines and directory companies, where you can submit your website to as many companies as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just don&#8217;t focus on the home page, keywords and titles. The first step to sales when customers visit your site to see the products they were looking for. Of course, search engine optimization and better rankings can&#8217;t keep your customer on your site or make them buy.</p>
<p>The customer having visited your site, now ensure that he gets interested in your products or services and stays around. Motivate him to buy the product by providing clear and unambiguous information. Thus if you happen to sell more than one product or service, provide all necessary information about this, may be by keeping the information at a different page.</p>
<p>By providing suitable and easily visible links, the customer can navigate to these pages and get the details.</p>
<p>Understanding Your Target Customer If you design a website you think will attract clients, but you don&#8217;t really know who your customers are and what they want to buy, it is unlikely you make much money. Website business is an extension or replacement for a standard storefront.</p>
<p>You can send email to your existing clients and ask them to complete a survey or even while they are browsing on your website. Ask them about their choices. Why do they like your products? Do you discount prices or offer coupons? Are your prices consistently lower than others? Is your shipping price cheaper? Do you respond faster to client questions? Are your product descriptions better? Your return policies and guarantees better than your competitor&#8217;s? To know your customer you can check credit card records or ask your customer to complete a simple contact form with name, address, age, gender, etc. when they purchase a product.</p>
<p>Does your website give enough contact information? When you sell from a website, your customer can buy your products 24 hrs a day and also your customers may be from other states that are thousands of miles away. Always provide contact information, preferably on every page of your website, complete with mailing address, telephone number and an email address that reaches you.</p>
<p>People may need to contact you about sales, general information or technical problems on your site. Also have your email forwarded to another email address if you do not check your website mailbox often. When customer wants to buy online provide enough options like credit card, PayPal or other online payment service.</p>
<p>Lastly, you got to check out the <a href="http://www.lifegateway.com/uaw/traffic/">Traffic Bot</a> that help my website to get page rank 3, not easy though, but it really works. And it consistent bring in 50,880 visitors in the past few months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is the search engines that finally bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the customer initiating a search.</p>
<p>There are basically two types of search engines. The first is by robots called crawlers or spiders.</p>
<p>Search Engines use spiders to index websites. When you submit your website pages to a search engine by completing their required submission page, the search engine spider will index your entire site. A &#8217;spider&#8217; is an automated program that is run by the search engine system. Spider visits a web site, read the content on the actual site, the site&#8217;s Meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects. The spider then returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. It will visit each link you have on your website and index those sites as well. Some spiders will only index a certain number of pages on your site, so don&#8217;t create a site with 500 pages!</p>
<p>The spider will periodically return to the sites to check for any information that has changed. The frequency with which this happens is determined by the moderators of the search engine.</p>
<p>A spider is almost like a book where it contains the table of contents, the actual content and the links and references for all the websites it finds during its search, and it may index up to a million pages a day.</p>
<p>Example: Excite, Lycos, AltaVista and Google.</p>
<p>When you ask a search engine to locate information, it is actually searching through the index which it has created and not actually searching the Web. Different search engines produce different rankings because not every search engine uses the same algorithm to search through the indices.</p>
<p>One of the things that a search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of keywords on a web page, but it can also detect artificial keyword stuffing or spamdexing. Then the algorithms analyze the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By checking how pages link to each other, an engine can both determine what a page is about, if the keywords of the linked pages are similar to the keywords on the original page.</p>
<p>Lastly, you got to check out the <a href="http://www.lifegateway.com/uaw/traffic/">Traffic Bot</a> that help my website to get page rank 3, not easy though, but it really works. And it consistent bring in 50,880 visitors in the past few months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn&#8217;t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.</p>
<p>If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site.</p>
<p>Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web page.</p>
<p>Suppose you have 100 words on your webpage (not including HMTL code used for writing the web page), and you use a certain keyword for five times in the content. The keyword density on that page is got by simply dividing the total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your web page. So here it is 5 divided by 100 = .05. Because keyword density is a percentage of the total word count on the page, multiply the above by 100, that is 0.05 x 100 = 5%</p>
<p>The accepted standard for a keyword density is between 3% and 5%, to get recognized by the search engines and you should never exceed it.</p>
<p>Remember, that this rule applies to every page on your site. It also applies to not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should always be between 3% and 5%.</p>
<p>Simple steps to check the density: Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect. Go to the &#8216;Edit&#8217; menu and click &#8216;Select All&#8217;. Now go to the &#8216;Tools&#8217; menu and select &#8216;Word Count&#8217;. Write down the total number of words in the page. Now select the &#8216;Find&#8217; function on the &#8216;Edit&#8217; menu. Go to the &#8216;Replace&#8217; tab and type in the keyword you want to find. &#8216;Replace&#8217; that word with the same word, so you don&#8217;t change the text. When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page. Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo&#8217;s takeover, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance. Overture saw that the internet was fast becoming the easiest and most convenient way to shop, and advertising was going to hit at an all time high because of the many businesses in the arena.</p>
<p>To get a person to go to a site than others, it needs to be very visible. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales. Yahoo provides a service that can put a site or company&#8217;s ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted.</p>
<p>Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company.</p>
<p>Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company&#8217;s goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.</p>
<p>Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google&#8217;s Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched.</p>
<p>For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don&#8217;t need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques.</p>
<p>While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster.</p>
<p>You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.</p>
<p>Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one.</p>
<p>With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start. Many have utilized their services and have reaped the rewards of this decision. It&#8217;s a marketing strategy that will increase your website visitors as well as increase your sales resulting to profit.</p>
<p>It takes money to make money, while there are some methods that are basically low cost or free, using a marketing service such as what Yahoo/Overture offers will provide results faster and on a larger scale. Many businesses have learned this the hard way, don&#8217;t be counted with them.</p>
<p>Lastly, you got to check out the <a href="http://www.lifegateway.com/uaw/traffic/">Traffic Bot</a> that help my website to get page rank 3, not easy though, but it really works. And it consistent bring in 50,880 visitors in the past few months.</p>
