In this article, I want to discuss 3 different approaches to generating traffic to your website; how each approach can help you promote YOUR website; and who REALLY benefits from these methods.
Question: What do the following sites have in common? StartBlaze; Trafficology; and TextMeFree.com.
4. What am I afraid won’t happen? Sometimes we fear what won’t happen as much as what will happen. If I called on successful attorneys, I was afraid that I wouldn’t get any referrals from these centers of influence, or that I wouldn’t establish a positive image for myself and my firm. Repeat questions 2 and 3 to get past this particular point of resistance.
1. Persuade your visitors to like you. People buy from people they like. You could tell them a joke, give them a compliment, give them a freebie, etc.
It’s easy to build a Web site. Anyone can do it for little or no money. What is not easy is building a successful business with it. So how do you do it?

You still have to put the website promotion ideas into practice, though, so you may not actually benefit at all.

There are many web designers who are honest and will tell you exactly what you need to do to have a successful web site. Yet, there are others who want to create some fancy gadgets on your site, charge you a fortune, and completely rip you off… while you are watching your money go down the drain.
Marketing is an essential part of building a profitable business. Even if your customers come entirely from one customer telling another, your sales go nowhere unless you have a way to get the word out.
We hear it all the time: “Banners don’t work anymore!” But did ‘banners’ ever really work in the first place?
The latest published figures seem to suggest that the average click-thru-rate (CTR) for a banner ad on the Internet is between 0.15% and 0.3%. That is 1.5 to 3 per thousand.
Every customer looks for 3 special benefits when they do business with you. They may not specifically ask for these benefits. But you’re losing sales if you don’t automatically provide all 3.
After 2 years of designing Web Sites, I decided to take a peek at one of my customer’s log files. My fear isappeared after about 10 seconds of looking at it. In the midst of some weird symbols and long lines of funny characters, was able to see something familiar. It was the site’s web address! Of course! That is what people see when they come to this site and that is what the web server writes in the log file!
