Selecting a Web Content Management Product

So you want to take a look at a real Web Content Management (WCM) product. How do you go about evaluating all the different products and vendors? What should you be looking for in a WCM package? Is it better to build your own, buy or use Open Source?

The best way to answer this question is to compare the products on an apples to apples basis. You can do this objectively by building a product evaluation matrix based upon your specific needs. The first column can list out the functionality categories (e.g. Security). The second column can be the specific needs (e.g. integrates with Active Directory for roles and authorization) under each of the categories. The next columns would be your products, one per column for each product you want to consider. For each product then you would give a rating (1 to 10 scale) on each specific need.

You can then add a column for weighting each specific need, or do this at the topic level. For example, flexible workflow may be much more important to you than your ability to customize the presentation. You can then add some more columns to calculate the weighting against the rating to arrive at a realistic assessment number for each product on each of your organization s specific needs. Sum these all up per product to arrive at a total product assessment score.

Of course, you can t forget to check customer references, or if it s an open source product, go dig around some sites which are using the tool already.

Below is a list of some topics/specific needs which may apply for you. At a minimum, these should provoke some thought on your part as far as what you are looking for in a WCM product and give you a good start on your product evaluation matrix.

Workflow Support for multiple workflow models? Complex workflows (parallel and serial)? Role/Group integration with flows? Ability to create workflow templates for re-use with different content types?

Security Will the product integrate with your security architecture? Do you require security for content submission? Do you require security for content consumption? Is there support for roles and groups? How is this implemented and managed in the product?

Content submission What are the creation/submission vehicles e.g., via an Office application, HTML/File upload, WYSIWYG, etc. Are there templates to force content managers to adhere to a common content structure (e.g. all posts must have a title, sub-title, body, and who to contact fields)

Presentation customization Extensive presentation customization capabilities? Extensive support for CSS integration? Ability to create presentation templates which can then be re-used for different content types? End-user creation of presentation templates or does it require a developer?

Integration with search Does the product provide its own search engine? Or, will it effectively integrate with your current (or planned search engine)? Security integration with search (i.e. a user can only see search results for what he/she has access to view)

Common document management functionality Versioning Expiration Metadata Check-in/Check-out Collaborative authoring Content history tracking

Architecture If your organization uses Web Services or has an established Service Oriented Architecture, you may demand the product can expose content through Web Services so other applications can present content. Portal integration (e.g., JSR168 support, WSRP support, etc.) Open and documented API available?

Cost Acquisition Maintenance Technical staffing to support (check with customer references)

Administration interface Robust yet easy to use? Complete control of all content in the lifecycle? Role/group management

Directory Submission for SEO

With the rise in popularity of search engines as a channel for consumers and businesses to seek information, service providers and retailers; companies are now looking towards search engine optimization as a low risk, high return investment.
Marketing through search engines provides two opportunities for businesses: paid search / pay-per-click (PPC) or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) / Search Engine Placement. With many offerings, and little cohesion the search engine marketing industry is open to much criticism through the lack of knowledge that buyers have of the industry.
The purpose of directory submission is somewhat different from how a layman may interpret it. Yes, it provides direct traffic through links, however the main advantage of directory submission and where the return on investment is gained, comes in the form of the hyper-links to the company website. These links are indexed by search engines and therefore result in the search engines increasing the position of the website that has links pointing towards it.
However, like everything to do with internet marketing, it is not that simple. The links have to be formatted in a particular way to offer the greatest increase in search engine positioning.
Your description should contain keywords that will help search engine traffic come across your website. If your website offers dog training tips then include words such as dog training info , dog training , how to train your dog within any description the directory allows you to include. Check the formatting of the link where your website will be placed. For best results, the link URL will be formatted like www.example.com/web design companies 11.htm rather than with a question mark within the URL. Also, check the google page rank of the homepage and internal pages to get an indication of the results you will attain from the link. Please remember that a link from a PR0 page still has a PR of at least the dampening factor, and may even be nearer to PR1. Remember that you should include www on every link. If you enter the URL example.com instead of www.example.com then this could lead to poorer results in the search engine results pages. Decide upon anchor text that will represent terms that you would like traffic to find you with through the search engine results pages. If for example your company retails software then use Software Shop or Software Retailer as your anchor text. Directory submission is a service that provides almost certain results for businesses. Businesses are finding that through submitting to 500 directories, a Google Page Rank of 3 could be the result, as well as direct traffic.

Better than Plenty of Messenger Boys

This morning, the Internet connected me to my friends, although today the News was mostly bad. Firstly, some friends of mine and I are planning to get together tomorrow and I was figuring out what time to meet. I emailed my friends at ten twenty two am, to say Let s meet at six pm . At ten thirty five am, one of them emailed me back that he d been downsized, and so could make it as early as we liked. I emailed my condolences, glad for the speed and ease when connecting with my friends via the Internet. His email at quarter to nine am said nothing about being downsized so he must only have found out about it this morning, less than two hours before he told us.
Before telephones and computers came to be, swift communication would have been reserved for only those who could afford to send letters to each other and employ messenger boys. Although on the other hand, before England had telephones I gather the mail service was so efficient that you could send an invitation at breakfast, and expect a letter in response the same day. Even that doesn t compare with getting an answer in thirteen minutes, and learning about major events in a friend s life in less than two hours.
After receiving that bad News, and then my small consolation of joy at being so connected to my friends, I read more bad News in another friend s blog and discovered that I m less connected than I thought. My blogger friend is worried he suffers from depression and might be an alcoholic. According to his blog he can t talk to his friends about it, including me. I wonder if he knows that some of his friends read his blog. Like most blog pages this one allows comments so I anonymously offered some advice and encouraged him to talk to his friends. I m curious if what I said will give away who I am. Later on I had a discussion about him and his blog with another friend over a messenger program.
Sadly the world is both kind and cruel, filled with both joy and sorrow. So, if you can connect with anyone, anywhere, anytime, you will get bad News as quickly and clearly as you get good News. Although you will, I hope, always get good News more often.

How To Make Marketing Stew - (Using What You Have To Get What You Want)

Like most Internet entrepreneurs are now, years ago I was very eager to make money and rapid progress in everything that I did. I didn t want to take time to read anything, ask questions or think things through. I had no time for that. I just wanted to make money and to make it fast. I did everything quickly. I talked fast. I read fast. I made decisions fast.
While consulting with an important client one day, I had a career changing experience that "lives" with me even now.
As I arrived at my client s office to make my masterful presentation on how I could make more money for him, I was surprised to discover an extra attendee. My client s father (looked to be in his 70 s at the time) was to be part of the meeting. I wondered a second as to why his father was there, but I jumped into my presentation anyway. And, I was brilliant at it. Or so I thought.
However, at the end of my presentation, I was surprised to see my client turn to his father and say, "Dad, what do you think about all of this?" The old man changed my entire life. Here is what he said to his son... He said, "Son, if YOU yourself don t know where you are going... how will you know when you get there?"
Before his son could answer, he said... "If you have never seen a certain place before, how can you be sure you will recognize it if you went there?" And thirdly, he added... "And most of all, if you are that ignorant as to where you want to go, you had better be darn sure of who you decide to follow!"
I was stunned and trapped. I couldn t begin an argument with the old man as my client was relying on his father s opinion of me. What happened then was nothing short of a miracle to me.
His son said to him, "OK, Dad. What do you suggest?"
The old man said, "Well, son. It is simple. You need to use what you have to get what you want. Keep doing that and you will make progress." I thought, "What the heck does that mean? Is this guy nuts or what?"
The old man continued, "You are not taking advantage of what you already have... you don t need a consultant, you need to just make some old-fashioned marketing stew!" Then I knew the guy was nuts, but I had to just sit there. "When you were young son, your mom and I had very little money. So when we needed food, we mixed up what we had to make a meal."
"You have customers, you have prospects, you have products, and you can develop or acquire more products over time. Instead of doing what this young fellow is telling you, just ask the people you have what their needs are. When they tell you, supply it to them. If you don t have what they want, just partner with companies and people that do. Then supply your customers with what they want."
I later learned that this old man was a very successful businessman in his day and well known for his highly successful marketing methods. I took his advice to heart and restructured my thinking. I developed and still use all of the tools needed to "make marketing stew" and I owe it to this old guy.
In my opinion, Internet entrepreneurs should take a tip from this old man and use their business contacts, associates and customers to "make marketing stew".
It doesn t matter how many people are in your "sphere of influence" now. Just begin to learn how to uncover the "needs and wants" of those with whom you do business and your "stew" will happen.
Once you understand how to make "marketing stew", you will never be hungry again.

How To Achieve A Higher A Search Engine Rank

Do you need higher search engine ranks for your website? It s now estimated that 83.8% of all website visits originate with a search enquiry. That may seem incredible but consider how you use search engines yourself and it may not be so suprising. One more question. Do you measure the number of visitors, where they come from and what they do when they get to your site? If the answer to these questions is no , don t worry, you re not alone. There are millions of websites but very few website owners manage their traffic building activities properly - what s worse, even less measure where their traffic originates and how visitors behave when they get to the site.
Attracting more customers to a website is therefore the key - getting higher search engine ranks is useless if you can t persuade your visitors to buy, subscribe or contact you..
How do you get higher search engine ranks? There are two ways - search engine optimisation (SEO) and pay-per-click advertising (PPC).
SEO is the process by which you get your site well ranked in the natural search results against the keywords and phrases that you are targeting.
PPC systems like Google s Adwords are auctions for keywords - the advertisers who bid highest and succeed in attracting the most clicks get the top positions.
In both cases, selecting the right keywords and phrases is critical. Keyword research is essential to eliminate the guesswork from your search traffic building. You can start by checking your website s log files. These files contain records of where your traffic was referred from and what keywords were used. Practitioners of both SEO and PPC also use tools that capture the search terms used by people - you may have heard of Wordtracker for example.
Search engine optimisation - getting higher search engine ranks in the natural listings
The main search results are known as the natural listings. Search engine spiders or software, visit your web pages, index the content that they can access and check which pages are linking to yours and which pages you link to.
SEO splits into onsite and offsite.
Your first onsite challenge is to ensure that the search engines can access all the pages that you want them to deliver in their search results. Many sites are built with complex code using Flash, Frames or just far too much messy code. This doesn t help the search engines.
Secondly you need to give the spiders plenty of relevant content. That s RELEVANT content. Sorry to shout but it s critical to remember that what the search engines are trying to do is to deliver relevant search results. They will reward web pages with content that s relevant to web searches - it s that simple.
You need to write at least 450 words per page and ensure that your keywords are spread across your site. There are technical issues too - your meta title and description tags need to be written in the same way that you would write a pay-per-click advertisement - the reason is that they are what the search engines display in their results. When you write a ppc ad you have a headline and a description designed to persuade the searcher to click on your ad as opposed to the other dozen or so ads on the page. The same principle applies to the natural search listings.
Other onsite issues include sitemaps, alt tags and robots.txt files.
Offsite optimisation is primarily about building links into your site from other relevant web pages. Google in particular regards votes from other web pages as one of the most important criteria in assessing a page s search engine rank. You can build links by submitting to directories, writing articles for other sites, offering an RSS feed from your site and by buying or exchanging links.
But before you invest any money to get a higher search engine rank you would be well advised to install a web analytics system that will tell you at a glance how your site and its marketing are performing. We can help you with that - Google provides a very good system for free.

Use Autoresponder Wisely

Does autoresponder ring a bell? I m sure it does to all internet users, especially those who have email accounts. But, what it is really and how it works is what you are going to learn from this article.
An autoresponder, sometimes called auto email, email responder or mailbot, is an excellent promotional tool. It is used to help you save a lot of time in replying to all the messages you receive with an automatic response. However, it varies from messages that are sent through email to scripts, which are programmed to run on servers.
Actually, all types of autoresponders have the same function and that is to send out a reply automatically whenever a message is received. Depending on the message, though, an autoresponder sends out a correct reply message, which can be determined by the script or the email address.
Despite the fact that autoresponders are considered excellent for promotional purposes, unfortunately, they are also extensively abused all over the internet. Autoresponders are convenient to use on a day to day basis since they do the work for you. But, they can also be a pain in the neck to those who might come across with them.
It is important to note that when you submit your website to any directories or search engines, do not use an address with an autoresponder. Otherwise, it s going to be a disaster for both of you and the directory or search engine. Why? It is because most of these types of websites are usually using autoresponders themselves as they send out their messages. Therefore, if their autoresponder sends out a message to your own autoresponder, they will keep on responding to one another continually. Now, isn t that a disaster?
Using a valid email address in subscribing to an email or any subscription for that matter may turn out to be beneficial. The worse that can happen if you used an autoresponder when subscribing is that your subscription may get revoked. It s going to be very irritating if certain group sends out emails only to find out your autoresponder keeps on sending return messages. That is why it is not a good idea to use an autoresponder address for any subscription you want to make.
Yes, autorespondes can be of great help if used wisely. However, it can cause catastrophes as well. In most cases, it can be difficult for subscription groups to trace someone who is using an autoresponder. Usually, those who use an autoresponder have different reply or from address they used when they first sign up, which makes it very time consuming to trace the address.
An autoresponder can do a whole lot of good to you or your business if used responsibly. It is easy to set up and user-friendly, not to mention its reasonable price. All it gives is convenience on your part, so don t use it to hassle other people or subscription groups.

Top 10 Things Every Site Should Include

While almost anyone can have a web site these days it s much harder to have a good website. From design aspects to readable content many sites fall flat. Below I ve arranged a Top 10 list, because everyone loves a Top 10!
Include a detailed About Us page.
The About Us page is a good place for new visitors and target traffic to find out who you are, why they should read your content or buy your products, how valuable your site can be, and also general information about your company, web site, or you.
It s a good idea to include contact information or at least a clear link to your Contact Us page. Keep concise and accurate. People want to read about you but they don t want a novel. Add important information on this page and point them to other pages for more in depth coverage.
Include a Contact Us page
Visitors (shoppers, target traffic) need an easy way to get in touch. Have a clearly marked link for contact information and include every avenue you receive communication through. Telephone and fax numbers (both local and 800), e-mail addresses, physical addresses, etc. all should appear on this page.
To help navigate further, clearly indicate which contacts go where (i.e. Admin, Tech, Sales, etc.) This will decrease frustration on both ends and allow better communication to flow. You want to show your visitors that you are competent and friendly, being easy to contact is one of the best ways to accomplish this goal.
Add a News, Press Release, Blog, and/or Articles Page
These pages inform customers of current events, products, endorsements, and other company happenings all in one place. Make sure to maintain these pages with fresh content that is reader friendly so your target traffic is more likely to come back, bookmark your page, and they may even provide word-of-mouth advertising. Free advertising!
As a bonus, search engines love these types of pages. New, fresh, relevant content is the stuff of search engines (well, there s obviously more to it than just content). Each time a search engine spider crawls your site and find new content it ups your chances of ranking higher in the organic search listings. More free advertising!
A Relevant Page Title
As uninteresting as this may sound your page title holds a lot of weight. If you re unfamiliar with a page title it is the name appearing in the blue bar across the top of the page. If your says something like Untitled Document I m talking to you.
Page titles should be different for every page in your site. They should clearly and accurately describe your page, and you should try to use keywords in the page title.
Search engines display the title of your page on SERPs. The catchier and more accurate your title the better the chance you ll hit target traffic.
A Relevant Page Name
Again, not so interesting as flashy designs or up-to-the-minute content, but it s a necessity to get your target traffic to your page to see or read the goods.
It s better to have straightforward page name showing in the URL than names with ? or other symbols and numbers. For example, a search engine will go to www.yourdomain.com/about us.htm it will only go to the ? in www.yourdomain.com/aboutus?094837 . You want search engines to find your pages. You also want humans to be able to read your names. Keep it simple and clean.
Good Grammar, Correct Spelling, Complete Thoughts, Sentence Structure
Everything you were supposed to learn in grade school, use it now. Not only should your site have relevant content the more the better people should be able to read your content. Choppy or runon sentences that seem to go nowhere cannot provide the type of readership concise, correct sentences can.
Misspellings, wrong word usage, bad grammar are all distractions. You do not want to distract your readers, you want to captivate them. Slang and derogatory language also distracts. If your site is a business site avoid slang and offensive language all together unless that s your selling point. Jargon is different, just don t confuse readers more than necessary.
If you aren t in command of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. or if you d rather focus your efforts elsewhere, that s fine. It s a good idea to beg, plead, hire, or force someone else to take care of this part then as ignoring the problem won t make it go away though it may have that effect on site traffic.
Professional Design, Colors, and Images
Design should be implemented with usability in mind. Not all visitors will be as web savvy as you d like, create easy navigation and links to all your pages. A search bar for your site is also a good idea.
Colors should be inviting, not blinding. Use colors to emphasize your brand, product or content. Don t overpower the visitor with colors. Use colors to make text pop without being distracting or hard to read.
Images should be friendly and relevant to your site. Images of people work better than objects and clip art rarely has a positive effect. Make sure your images can load within a reasonable amount of time, you don t want to lose visitors because a single image caused an incredible amount of load time, or worse froze the visitors browser.
Make Sure ALL Links Are Working Links
This should be a no-brainer, however it is always a good idea to check and double check your links. Fix any broken links A.S.A.P. Your reputation counts on it.
Think of any site you ve been to with a broken link. Disappointing isn t it? You probably left or at least had a negative image about the company. Avoid this mistake and check, recheck, and check your links again.
Use Your Log Files
Log files offer a plethora of information on your web site, your visitors, what works and what doesn t. You can t afford to miss out on this information if you can afford it you shouldn t anyway.
Best idea: Get a program that converts the lengthy text into readable documentation. It ll save you time and energy while getting you the information you desire. Log files will describe customer behavior, they will show you broken links, and you ll see where customers flow freely and where they abandon the site. The invaluable information is at your finger tips. Use it!
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificates
These can be used on any site asking for sensitive information. Not every web site needs this, however if you plan to collect any visitor information it is a good idea to have some SSL pages. Though not every page need be SSL.
Pages requiring e-mail, names, telephone numbers, addresses, credit card information, social security information or any other information visitors may not readily be giving up online should be securely collected via SSL.

Postcards: Printed or Not

Do you remember the last time you received a postcard? Anything special about it? Was it a postcard from a friend who is vacationing in another country or another state perhaps? Or is it just something cute from a loved one to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Whatever it may be, I am sure that it gave you a smile - at least.
Postcards have come a long way from their humble beginnings to their current state of popularity. From their early start in 1969 in Austria, postcards printing have become state-of-the-art. In addition to the printed material, postcards are now in the electronic form.
Advantages of an e-Postcard
The internet made everything easy. Gone were the days when you want to send a postcard to a loved one you have to go out and buy one, write your message on the other side, then go to the post to mail it. Nowadays, everything is being provided in the Net. From the picture to the message accompanying your e-postcards, there is a wide variety to choose from, and for every occasion. You could even have a musical postcard.
Sending it is also made easy. No more post. No more snail mail. With just a click your loved one will receive your e-postcard in no time.
AND, e-postcards are cheap way cheaper than the regular printed postcards. The additional fees from paying postcard printing companies are eliminated. Many sites are even offering free postcards.
Print It!
Nevertheless, we cannot discount the fact that printed postcards are more intimate, and more personal. Looking for the right message, the right touch, make receiving a postcard so much more worthwhile. And to think that the person who sent it to you actually gave the time and effort to create an art to make you laugh or cry, and then send it to a professional postcard printing company haggling with them on the price, the delivery time and the quality of the postcard isn t it a tad more effective to make your heart do cartwheels?
Although it is way cheaper to go for the e-postcards, just the thought of having someone spend money makes the printed postcard more special for me. Most especially if the said postcard was hand delivered with a song and dance number from the mailman, no matter that the mailman is out of key and has no body coordination.Nevertheless, an e-postcard or a printed one, it does not matter. Whatever makes you happier.

On-Line Profitability - Learn How On-Line Profitability Can Affect Your Business Growth

What do you think is most popular online business topic ? Money or profits?
Google search says:
Online money = 1,090,000,000 results Online profits = 47,900,000 results
Obviously it is much more popular to discuss making online money rather than creating online profitability , Google says 2175.57% times more popular at the time of writing this.
What is wrong with this picture ..maybe lots of people talk about making money online, but don t talk much about making profit online because they don t.
If you were looking to buy an ABC Company franchise and one made $1,090,000,000 in sales, and one that made $ 47,900,000 profit which one would you look at first?
The next time you look at any offer online, ask the seller what their online profitability is? Bet you will surprised if they can even answer the question.
Even any on-line business that generates lots of sales and money will die eventually if their lack of on-line profitability prevents them from re-investing in their business in order to grow.
Here is a simple example to consider:
You find a product that retails for $47.00, and you hope to sell 60 next month for a total of $2820 sales.
You would get 50% commission paid within 30 days of each sale = $1410 You estimate that 2% of the sales page visitors will actually buy your product. Your past experience shows that Google PPC Ad may send 2% of the ad views to your capture page or sales page .
Question: How much can you pay Google PPC for each click and still break even? Answer: .17 ,47, or .77 cents per click
Question: How many ad views do you need to generate per month for 60 sales? Answer : 50, 000 , 75,000, or 150,000 Question : How many sales page visitors did you need to break even? Answer : 1000, 2000, or 3000
So now can you why it is easier to talk about making $1410 in sales, rather than making profit of say 10, 15 , 20 or even 50% .
There are numerous variables that can make this campaign profitable or not for you.
Ask yourself :
1) What if you sell only 40 units or maybe 70 units? 2) What if 1.5% or 3 % of sales page visitors actually buy? 3) What if I generate only 75, 000 or 150,000 ad views? 4) What if I pay Google .37 cents per click or .57 cents per click.? Oh, and one other thing where did you get the $1410 to pay for the Google PPC ads in the first place, assuming that you break even on this campaign?
But even more importantly where will you get $1410 to pay for next month if you just break even this month?
This simple example is meant to show you how critical it is to create online profitability fast, if you want any possibility of actually staying in business , never mind making progress and growing your business and income.

Watch Your Web Traffic Explode: Market To The Top 6 Search Engines

Search engines are responsible for almost 85% of all information researched online. That means if someone is looking for a product or service you offer, they will begin by typing a keyword or keyword phrase in a search box. Although there are thousands of search engine companies operating online, there are a select few that you can not afford to overlook. This article will give you some background information on the top 6 search engines.
The Key Players
There are countless search engines driving traffic to business websites. Most are small, targeted and growing, while others have large, broad and loyal audiences.
Just six search engines control the majority of queries on the Internet including Yahoo, Google, Ask Jeeves and AllTheWeb. Other search sites compile the results from multiple engines into all-encompassing SERP s, such as Dogpile. The Open Directory Project or DMOZ, is a non-commercial directory focused on human-editing and free inclusion.
Traffic Facts
The following shows the average reach. For instance, if you sampled a million Internet users, average reach states how many visit each of the follow (Metrics as of February 2005.)
Yahoo 301,800 reach per million Internet users Google 170,650 reach per million Internet users Ask Jeeves 6,905 reach per million Internet users AllTheWeb 1,070 reach per million Internet users Dogpile 1,485 reach per million Internet users DMOZ 1,880 reach per million Internet users
Yahoo
Touted the life engine in their latest ad campaign, Yahoo search engine actually began as a simple project by two men, David Filo and Jerry Yang, in January 1995. During their studies at Stanford University, Yahoo was their way to catalog and organize Internet bookmarks. Soon the project grew, as the Internet grew, gathering interest from visitors who added Yahoo to their own bookmarks and revisited often to find new additions.
Today Yahoo is the top ranked, highly trafficked website on the Internet. Word of mouth grew into what is now a publicly traded company. Yahoo listing is as important as that in the phone book.
Before submitting to human-edited directories, prepare a business description no more than 25 words in length using two to three key terms that may be used to find the website. This description should exclude marketing language and superlatives.
Google
Google, named for the term which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two men who met at Stanford University graduate school studying computer science in 1995. Together they collaborated on a search engine called BackRub. After much investment seeking and technological experimentation, Google.com open in a garage in September 1998 in Menlo Park, California. Google search engine handled more than 100 million search queries a day by the end of 2000.
In February 2002, Google launched Ad Words, a self-serve cost per click advertising model. In December 2002, Google launched Froogle, a free product search service. 2004 brings Local Search and Gmail, as well as a public offering under the ticker GOOG.
No longer a garage business, Google reaches an average of 148,800 million users each day. Being included in the next Googlebot Internet crawls is as important as drinking milk.
Ask Jeeves
Ask Jeeves Inc. was founded in 1996 and is now a publicly traded company with headquarters in California. Its syndicates search technology and advertising units to a affiliate partner network including Excite, Ask.com, Teoma, Ask Jeeves Kids, MyWebSearch, MySearch, MyWay, MaxOnline, iwon.
A butler inspired by the books by English writer P.G. Wodehouse characterizes the Ask Jeeves brand. The website began as a question and answer service - the users ask a questions and an answer is generated. With an editorial staff building each question and answer scenario, the answers often didn t add up to the searcher s actual intent. After the dot com crash, stock dropped to under $1, yet today performs in the $30 range due to heavy restructuring, cuts and a quality search focus.
Ask Jeeves search engine began as a human-edited listing but has since abandoned this for algorithmic search results. Smart Search allows users to search keywords such as celebrity names and receive an instant biography and photograph above results. Binocular icons next to certain results allow quick web page previews.
Submission to Ask Jeeves is managed by ineedhits.com. Submission includes 12-months on the ask.com and Teoma s U.S. index including Excite, MyWay.com, Hotbot.com, iLor, lxquick, Search123.com, Metacrawler, MySearch.com and Mamma.com. Each listing includes weekly page refreshes, 7-day inclusion and detailed click-through reporting. Pricing starts at $30 per URL and $18 for each addition.
AllTheWeb
A Overture Services business, AlltheWeb s index (provided by Yahoo) includes billions of web pages, as well as tens of millions of PDF and MS Word files. AlltheWeb offers specialized search tools for the major browsers and advanced search features, supporting searches in 36 different languages, news, images, audio, video and multimedia files.
AlltheWeb search engine is powered by FAST and considered by some as a likely candidate to exceed Google s success. The search engine s strongest asset is fresh information, re-indexing sites and removing broken links every 7-11 days. AllTheWeb is also know for its SafeSearch filtering option that removes offensive content from SERP s.
Dogpile
With one single click, Dogpile fetches the best results from the combined pool of the best search engines - instead of results from just one single search engine.
And Dogpile search engine makes it easy to refine your search so you can find the most meaningful results right away. No wonder it s the Top Dog of the search industry. - Dogpile
Dogpile was developed in 1936 using innovative metasearch technology to find results in many leading search engines including Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, About, FindWhat, LookSmart and more. All results are combined into one comprehensive SERP. Dogpile is currently owned and operated by InfoSpace, Inc. They brand the business on Arfie, their signature dog logo.
Dogpile, like other search engines, allows data (or keyword), image, audio, multimedia, news and shopping searches.
Though a met search engine pulling information from all other major search sources, website owners may also submit to the DogPile database directly. This listing includes DogPile, Verizon, WebCrawler, NBC and MetaCrawler.
Open Directory Project (DMOZ)
The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. -DMOZ.org
The Open Directory Project is an Internet resource hierarchically arranged by subject - from broad to specific. The ODP is maintained by editors that evaluate websites for inclusion in the directory. All submissions are subject to editor evaluation.
ODP does not consider itself a search engine and, in that light, is highly selective. Not all sites are accepted. The goal is to make all information provided by the database as useful as possible, not to simply include all sites on the Internet or serve as a promotional tool for businesses.
To assist editorial discretion, ODP has policies for submitting sites for consideration. They may reject, delete or edit submissions that violate their policies or that they do not want included. The ODP also rejects, deletes or blocks sites possibly associated with a user violating their policies.
Needless to say there are far more aspects to marketing to the top 5 search engines than I can cover in this article but the information provided here should give you a good insight into understanding how important it is to submit your web site for inclusion in these search engines.
Don t give up! If at first you don t succeed, TRY, TRY, AGAIN! There is a lot to learn when starting a online business. Give yourself a break and don t set unrealistic goals. Contrary to popular beliefs, having a successful, profit making, online business doesn t happen overnight.
So, Good Luck, Make Money and Have Fun Doing It - Shirley Kelly

Targeted Traffic is More Important than Ever!

It& 39;s easy to put your 5 or 6 free exchange sites in these tabs, and earn credits for all of them simultaneously. So, instead of surfing for 1 / 2 hour or an hour to earn 200 visits during one exchange, you can earn 200 hits in 5 exchanges in the same amount of time. This is a huge time saver and multiplies your earned hits 6X.
In of 5X or, in rare cases, the traffic is the sale of legitimate companies, a movement focused on your performance, most traffic comes from pop-ups (which are absolutely dead), or a kind of online ads visitors sit at their computers to view pages in exchange for credits toward their own movement site.
Seasonal fluctuations represent a new phenomenon. The first few years the use of the Internet has seen such a rapid growth as the number of users and number of pages visited, the seasonal fluctuations were hardly visible. In recent years, however, Internet growth has slowed sharply, as the United States and the rest of the world to the user scans saturation point.
Buy movement - There is a quick way to bring in thousands of traffic to your website within 24 hours. Buy traffic from the traffic brokers. Most transportation brokers show the site as a full page pop-under without internet explorer bar for the selected type and geographic targeting category.
Targeted movement is more important than Ever!
In early days of web development, the owner has learned a very expensive lesson that a Web site visitor, had little value. Once the business owner knows that methods could be utilized to increase their visibility through search engine optimization, then it becomes apparent that the traffic that really benefited them, was targeted traffic " & quot;. He just sense that if you were selling a solution, people who will buy solutions that are having problems or challenges. It also became apparent that the best products and services to sell online were niche or specialized markets. Large volumes of general visitors " & quot; (total traffic) may have looked pleased at the statistics report but only the truly " target visitors & quot; (target traffic), as a rule, visitors to shop or doing business with a web search engines site.
While some marketers simply offering placement selected keywords for their clients in other SEO understood the value of the study of key phrases and built a strategy, which focused on attracting a specific target market. That is why sometimes you would hear conflicting stories about the effectiveness of marketing search engines. People often have their own web sites optimized for the wrong phrase. They may be the key words, phrases, which do not attract all traffic, or perhaps even keywords that attracted high traffic, but the wrong audience. If targeted traffic is essential to success then it is absolutely imperative that we trust to optimize traffic now. The reason is that as the web continues to age, peoples behaviour appears to be moving again.
Plan for the current shift in online visitor behavior
The early online consumer compared to today& 39;s average user thrives on the use of the search engine most of the time. They would have to find a site, then search for another site, and virtually all travel to a place in half of the time, we are sure that they are even looking for. Then people " surfed the net & quot; but modern electronic consumer surfing is not the same. Today, online consumers are becoming educated much more quickly and, in general, the new trend of branding on the Internet is becoming increasingly more important in accordance with the recently survey.
There many myths associated with the art movement generation, often created by unscrupulous web marketing, who claim " they may redouble their site traffic is only $ 99 a month or " & quot; submit your site to 1000 search engines and watch the traffic grow ". Such bogus claims to be ignored, if you seriously traffic.
Although are few and far between, some vendors provide actual traffic and targeted traffic from expired domains. While I would not recommend, if you intend to acquire traffic Thus, I would like to ensure that traffic from expired domains.
We have to admit myself. Most of us are in it for money. We are not going to waste our time and energy just for the fun of it. Many sites will not wait until hell freezes over only to see their profits. While there are those who take things easy, there are always those who would like to see any profit day.
Similar for browsers, go to the high street shops " Touch and feel & quot; merchandise.
Volume traffic in any importance is decreasing .
A California based research company (Websidestory), which measures Internet audiences, recently stated on 6 February that " about 52 per cent of web surfers arrived at sites by direct navigation and bookmarks, compared with about 46 percent for the same period last year, & quot;. Even compared to just last year, clearly more people KNOW where they want to go and are directly entering the web addresses in browser.
Advantages Optimizers
The to find the latest trends in Internet behavior spell opportunity for some search engine marketing. It will be those in the SEO who realize that targeted traffic now (and, indeed, has always been) the only way to go. Someone recently asked me if I thought decline in the use of search engines is bad news for the search engine optimization industry. I think there will always be a need for a good search engine. More and more, people will remember their favorite URL, but it does mean that the commencement of the deployment and the exact meaning will also be needed more than ever before. People who are looking for pure, not so much care for paid advertisements, they want relevant search results. This does not mean that rates search engines do not have some advantages, because they do.
SEOs which are collected only after the old-fashioned, non-targeted general " traffic & quot; (only large numbers, not the target audience) there are going to be a lot quieter, as Internet users KNOW where they want go.
However, for those SEO specialists who really know their craft on " targeted traffic Strategy & quot;, can be done in pure gold Web site owner, and now time relevance ranking mixed with a targeted strategy should place these search engine marketing rate even higher demand. High accuracy and relevance of search engines for any business on the Internet web site has more than once before.

Choosing an in-house or an SEO professional

It is about time that various business groups whether they are doing good business or not, have started to comprehend the importance of the SEO. As internet is a vast field and everything that is there on the internet have the affect on the success rate of these professionals. As with the increasing competition customizing your existence on the internet is the most important thing for these professionals.
You can achieve some rewarding results you just have to take full advantage of the assets present on the internet even if you have a small scale business. SEO is not magic but you have to skillful enough to understand and act accordingly to customize both major and minor websites. It entirely depends on the SEO resources usually it works for the minor businesses but with the time consulting should show up after the primary customization is over. There is a reason that there are free resources available on the internet.
There is a simple cause behind it that they rarely provide with the particulars those are important for viable terms. This becomes a negotiable deal for the consulting services and the proprietors of minor businesses as they finish the needed formalities those are required to be done. Minor businesses don t make it in building a suitable rankingfor them as the reason is the shortage of time. SEO is a time consuming venture as it includes searching with the keywords, Meta tags, and through the involvement of the content. This is a simple reason that the minor businesses are getting themselves involved in the hiring of the various organizations and firms for customizing as it is a costly affair to put somebody on the payroll for full time.
There are only two major options in front of both the major and mirror organizations and that is either to choose an organization or going for in-house SEO. There are two reasons that why the companies tend to opt for the in-house SEO. Firstly, they have a myth that they know customization in and out and secondly that it is a cheaper affair. The second factor is genuine as majority of the companies are also interested in the customizing their websites. One thing must have crossed through the minds of most of the owners that are they paying a heavy amount? It is not like that every SEO organization is costly but with a thorough search you can find a firm that would definitely suit your budget.
Hiring an in-house SEO will prove useful as they can monitor the functioning and the proceedings. And to achieve results in majority team coordination is very important. This is the simple reason why the capable companies will excel in their output as compared to a person who is providing in-house services. It is just not possible for an individual to produce speedy rankings, regulating Meta tags, and preparing customized content who is working fulltime in his/her office hours.

Bum Marketing - How to Find Profitable Niches

Bum Marketing is the new sensation within the internet marketing community. Bum Marketing is easy enough almost anyone can start out with. Though, one of the key components is researching and selecting a niche. So how do you select a bum marketing niche? Here s 3 simple steps to selecting a niche.
1. Follow Your Strength
Remember in grade school when you had to do a presentation and the teacher was assigning topics and you got stuck with one you weren t exactly happy to do research on?
Don t relive those feeling with your bum marketing niches. Select something you are passionate about or would enjoy doing research on. It s important to select a niche you have a natural strength in because following a strength will give you leverage and turn your work into play. Selecting a niche you have no interest in will reflect to your customers. Lack luster enthusiasm or information about a niche will equal lack luster sales.
Though, when you have a strength in a particular field it shows through in your writing but it will help you gain an edge over your competition because you know where to find your target audience when it comes time to market to them.
2. Look to Mainstream Media
Turn on the TV, open a magazine, and watch talk shows.
