Running An Effective Website
|
|
Running an effective website is a continuous process. I have compiled five (5) ways of doing it on a regular basis.
1. Maintain and Optimize Your Site.
Maintenance is making sure your site is technically ready for visitors. To do this, a web site owner needs to regularly run site diagnostics to unearth common problems, such as browser compatibility, load time performance, dead links, link popularity, spelling check, HTML, design and directory registration readiness. You have to make sure your site is optimized in all areas mentioned.
2. Attract your visitors.
Nobody can resist a free offer. You have to reward your visitors with loads of free stuff. Giving something for free creates the demand for them. You also need to update your web site regularly, add fresh content, update time-sensitive information, and offer good deals/discounts/promos/special offers to give your visitors a valid reason to return to your site.
3. Track your visitors.
An effective web site contains a functional counter that can tell how many visitors are coming, where are they coming from, and which website(s) referred it. With this information on hand, you can identify which marketing campaigns, banner ads and page content to display on your web site.
4. Understand your customers.
If you identify and understand your visitor's demographics, you'll be able to understand what types of people are interested in your site. You can then identify potential new visitors, and target your promotions to those segments for best return on investment.
5. Communicate with your customers.
Keep in touch with your visitors by setting up an e-mail mailing list. E-mail is the most cost-effective way of announcing news, promotions, product releases or tips to your visitors.
Additionally, the more you establish your rapport with your visitors, the more useful you can make your site to your existing visitors.

1) A marketing necessityI still hear it said from time to time that you really do not need a website if you are a private practice professional. I disagree. In today's world, I think you are selling yourself short if you do not have a website, because you are not using one of the most powerful ways in which to market you and your services.2) Websites are affordableWhen I had my very first website in 1997, the domain name by itself cost me almost two hundred dollars. Today you can get a domain name and a month of hosting for just over eight dollars.3) A website increases your "expert-ability"When you have a website featuring your area of expertise, you are perceived as the expert, no questions...(related: Web Development)
What Your Customers Say About Your Site! Part 1
The following is a list of patterns that many visitors follow, and you can use these suggestions to better your site.1. Your visitors often stay for less than 30 seconds. This is a very bad sign! There are a multitude of solutions for this. Often when a visitor leaves that fast, it's because something almost "forced" her (the average e-consumer is in fact a woman!) to leave. Frequent causes of this are ugly sites! I use the term ugly because many ugly sites are bringing in more money than you can imagine, but truley ugly sites, or ones with very hard to read / obnoxious text will force a visitor away.Your site may load far too slow! If your site loads slower than 20 seconds, you are literally driving away a third of your traffic. By the time the rest of the traffic ge...(related: Web Development)

The Internet Road Map
1) Data CaptureOne easy way to collect e-mail addresses and permission is via a signup box on your website. Place your signup box in a visible place on your homepage, and other appropriate pages, where visitors might choose to opt-in.Don't just do what I suggested, but go one step further.
