How can I get website traffic?

Feb 19 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

Someone help. I have created a new social network site but the problem is, I need traffic! I have tried everything including SEO, writing articles, joining in forums, opt-in-emails & yet, seem not to be driving in traffic. I’m aware that there are other alternative like google adwords but, I’m worried about the fees & in regards to getting traffic from other social networking sites, I feel that I shouldn’t because well, I don’t want other social networks to hear about my website because of rivalry purposes.
Please help, I don’t know what to do. I am tempted to try buying traffic as a last resort but they are most probably going to be scams.

Is This Business Doomed?

Feb 17 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

OK, maybe that’s a bit dramatic but I have just gone live with my new site www.iconkids.co.uk (plug!!), a children’s boutique.

I am using Adwords and have had about 30 visitors so far but no orders. The site has now been live for 2 days and I’m already a bit worried that no one is buying.

I am a newbie in online business and I need to know if this is normal.

Maybe check out my site and give me some suggestions as to what I can do to improve it. The site i quite basic but I am on a tight budget and everyone has to start somewhere.

Any other helpful advice would also be appreciated.
That’s a good idea but my suppliers won’t let me sell on ebay.
I’ve changed my privacy policy, added a returns policy and added my telephone number to the banner. How can I get add to basket icons next to all my products?

B&F Top Contributors: Is this solicitation?

Feb 15 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

Someone in business and finance asked "how do I make money online". I gave him an answer on how I do it, and I was reported. I tried to appeal it and they rejected my appeal (twice) and took 20 points from my account. I feel that it was top contributors who reported me because everytime I post anything in Business and Finance, it gets reported. I think that some of the Top Contributors automatically assume that it’s impossible to make money online. They think everything is a scam. I think people should be more careful when reporting answers in this section.
You tell me, was this answer solicitation, and HOW?

my answer:
"Start an online community, a mini myspace in other words or forum. I have a few dating sites and I use adwords to get members. The site is free and I only have about 800 members so far on my main site, but once I have more (about 5,000 or more), I will place ads on there and make money from the ads just like myspace does. There’s free software out there for social sites so after you install it, you just work on getting members to sign up. I use Google adwords to advertise mainly. My main site is an asian site so its cheaper for me to advertise since I only only show ads to people out of Asian countries. This is cheaper for advertising, but it also means I’ll make less once I place ads on there, because clicks from people in Asia don’t pay as well since they don’t buy as much online as Americans, Canadians etc. As far as selling domains, that’s not easy. I used to do it but it’s just getting harder now with the economy the way it is. But most of the people I sold domains to were other domain investors. Advertising is recession proof though. There is always people who are looking to advertise their businesses, even when the economy is bad. Another thing you can do is buy misspelled domains or domains you think you can park. I park domains and some have been pretty successful. There’s this one celebrity that just became real famous (realized I can’t say his name for certain reasons), and right around the time this was happening, I bought about 4 domain names that are misspellings of his name. Now people searching for his name on the internet who misspell it, end up at my parked page, where I have ads that some of them click on."
notice how I said "There’s free software out there". They got me so nervous just to mention any company other than Google in this section. I took extra precaution and was still reported.

Why?

How should I go about buying traffic or PPC without a credit card?

Feb 13 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I think I am wasting my money with this new website that I found that delivers hits to my website. I would prefer to use google adwords because you Pay per click, but unfortunatley I do not have a credit card and Google doesn’t accept paypal as a payment method. Does anyone know of a traffic service with a similar structure as a pay per click system like Google. I don’t want to pay for useless traffic that get cycled back into my websites. These are mostly hits and rarely visitors and many repeat visitors in one day. Please help, I don’t want to waste money anymore, I want to make money.

Here is the website I am refering to, have a look and tell me if you thinks its a scam too.

Can Google ranking be bought?

Feb 12 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

This came up from a conversation with a friend.

He was very certain that any one website owner can pay to have their website rank higher in Google. I am not talking about Google AdWords on the right hand side, or the highlighted sponsored links on the top of the page.

I need clarification on this. As I always thought that Google ranking is based on many other factors, such as site content, quality of links, length of stay for each click, etc. but not for how much the website owner has paid Google.

What am I doing wrong with my online business?

Feb 06 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I’ve been making handmade womens bags on and off for a couple years now.
I finally decided this is what I love doing and want to try to make a side job out of doing this.

About 1 1/2 weeks ago, I launched my a website hoping to get some good business.

www.jaggedlinebags.com

In the past couple weeks, I’ve gotten 550 website veiws and only one prospective customer, who did not end up buying anything. The only sales I’ve made with these bags are to friends and family.

I’m advertising mainly off craigslist and I just started google adwords. But I’m afraid I’ll get a ton of clicks and have to pay for them and not get a single customer.

Any suggestions on how to ‘capture’ more customers? Other advertising ideas? Any website modification ideas?

Any advice will help! Thanks!

Wondering which eCommerce host best integrates with the Google set of tools (adwords/analytics)?

Feb 04 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I am currently being hosted by eCorner, and they’re terrible. I am not able to integrate Google Analytics into my site to have it track sales, the only thing they offer me to track is an order number, and the total price for that order, not the individual products and everything that Google is able to track. Trying to get support from eCorner is just as difficult, as soon as I ask a question, they’ll give me a quick explanation, and then start to say how I need to buy eTracker, or pay for them to make changes to my site…

Just wondering what eCommerce host’s people are using who are successfully able to integrate Google Analytics completely, or close to.

Thanks

What can I do to start making money on the Internet fast?

Feb 02 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I need some genuine insight and details on how you got STARTED to making that first or 0 on the Internet. What are some real genuine and HONEST ways of making money on the Internet?

Please, don’t be vague like create blogs or websites with unique interesting content and earn money through affiliate marketing or contextual advertising (Adsense, Adbrite, YPN, etc). I really want details on how YOU got STARTED to become successful making money on the Internet.

Please do not recommend me filling out surveys or PTC (Paid-to-Click) sites. You can hardly make any decent money out of FREE surveys which takes a good amount of time just to make a lousy dollar. Believe me. I have tried with several "top notch" sites like CashCrate and others. I do not want to go this route.

I want to make a decent living off of the Internet working full time even putting in 10 additional hours every week.

Where can I do keyword research and search volume research to come up with niche ideas for websites? Overture Keyword Tool no longer exists. I need a good free keyword tool besides Google’s Adwords keyword tool. I heard Google’s keyword tool really doesn’t give accurate results. What did you do to come up with your niche ideas?

I assume most Internet entrepreneurs make money through multiple streams of Internet incomes through affiliate marketing, contextual advertising, multiple websites (sometimes in mass quantity) domaining (buying & selling domain names), Forex investing. List other ideas as well.

Thank you. I would really appreciate your help.

Legal Trademark Issue With Web Site?

Jan 31 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

Hello,

I have gotten a summons in a civil action today about a website I was running.

I was buying the keyword of their business name to draw traffic to a review page that compared their product to another one.

The site was not slanderous at all and what was stated was fact.

I am not sure exactly how to respond to this. It says "you must serve on the plaintiff an answer to the attached complaint or motion under rule 12 of the fed rules of civil procedure.

Does anyone have any advice? I think this is part of something bigger as others have tried to sue Google for infringement.

Any advice would be great or if you need more information just let me know.

Thank you!

Also, I did email the attorney saying that I have ceased and diseased the site and google adwords campaign.

I had no idea that this was this big of a deal. It was just a simple one page review site that is now causing all this trouble.

I’m trying to get my law firm some hits online, so I purchased some domain names, I have questions?

Jan 29 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

The names I bought are things like attorneychico.com and I want my site to come up wit someone enters the search words attorney then Chico our location. My competitors have the name chicoattorney.com. If someone enters the name in the order I’ve set up will my site come up or does that have to do with advertising and adwords, I’m curious how to get to the top of the list. For instance if I owned science.com and someone typed in Science as a search word would my site come up or would some other site who pays more come up.

How do you get people to use a brand new ad website?

Jan 27 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

Hi, I’ve developed a new classified advertising site: www.dragonads.co.uk
The site is simply for the buying and selling of second hand items much like some of the existing sites already out there. However I’ve included some nice features that some of the other sites lack.
The problem is how do I get people to use the site? I’m getting traffic as I’m paying for Google AdWords, but no one seems to want to register or place an advert on a brand new site. (Understandably so, I mean why advertise on a site no one else uses?) But the current popular established sites must have started somewhere with no ads and no registrations, so how did they get started and get people using their sites?

I have a coupon for Google Ads, after the coupon runs out will Google start to charge my card automatically?

Jan 25 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I have a coupon for Google Adwords, after the coupon and its amount runs out will Google start to charge my card automatically?

The reason i ask this is because before you can submit any coupon code you must enter billing details so i am a little worried that google is going to charge my card after the coupon runs out automatically, i dont want this to happen and i want to see how good google ads is before i actually buy any more.

Looking forward to hearing your answers.

Thanks.

David.

Cheap way to get visitors to your website?

Jan 19 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

What I’ve done so far:

Put it on my business cards.
Put it on my invoices.
Paying for Google AdWords (only five clicks in a month).
Handed out informational fliers (40 hits out of about 400 fliers).

I need more. If people find my website, they’ll see how much I know and are more likely to buy my service.

Any ideas? I need a cheap solution. I’m thinking about trying to barter my service for advertisement somewhere in my town as an option. It could save me a ton of money, but may not get me many visits or phone calls.

How can I cut my PPC costs?

Jan 15 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I’m having problems using pay per click (PPC), mainly Google Adwords, since it is now just sooo expensive that it makes it not worthwhile to even be in business.

Does anyone know any way that I can either cut my PPC costs, or increase the number of people who buy – I guess mainly I want to make some profit again, so I guess the main thing is cutting the costs, although more turnover for the same spend would I guess be the same thing.

Are there any good websites, tips, courses, books, etc that can help – or can any of you help please? I’m up against it and desperately need help.

Thanks,
Jan

Getting A Wealthy Affiliate ? Should I Join this Membership, claimed to be #1 Online ?

Jan 13 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

Hey to all

Maybe difficult to answer if you are NOT a Member there, but I have seen this website

http://www.how2resolve.com/insidewa.htm
and the Wealthy Affiliate University seams to be a great place.
(By the way, this guy gives a huge amount of eBooks for Free, more then usual.)

The downside: you have the 30.- Fee per month, but looks like they give a lot of stuff for Free like Hosting, Websites and so on – that can compensate the monthly fee I guess.

Question:
should I take the "learning" approach and join Wealthy Affiliate to learn how to market ?
Or is it better to buy some of the latest released eBooks who show me a easy way to make money Online ?

P.S. Fact is that I already tryed some eBooks, but they didn’t made me any money at all. In fact I lost some with Google Adwords. That was very frustrating as I hate to loose money.

Thank you for any advice, I really am interested in Internet Marketing but need some direction.

Thank you

I’m going to make my own clothing line!?

Jan 09 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I decided that i need money. Heres my business plan

1)find a cheep wholesaler of plain t-shirts, buy 100 of em (blue/white/black)
2)think of some sort of funny design to put on em targeting the urban youth.
3)take them to my local t-shirt making place and get em to put the designs on.
4)Create a website to sell em (with dream weaver)
5)Advertise it myself, by posting links, PPC, google adwords, commenting on forums, showcasing my product to retailers around the nation, maybe get a magazine ad or column. etc.

I figure a shirt will cost 5$ to make and process and i can sell it at 15$. making 10$ profit per sale times 100 sales = 1000$.

Have any of ya done this kind of thing before? I have a clear vision of what I want and how to get there. Any comments? or suggestions?
I know some very good graphic artists, I have a friend who makes 50k a year on online marketing. My friends parents own a t-shirt design company. So i have the connections.

My designs will be good, I am sure they will sell. They are funny with an urban twist. My line will be fresh.

The cost? my answer- I have a top of the line web design program already. My line will be operated by myself out of my room. So i do not need an accountant. (even though i am in upper level college level accounting classes, and are a finance major) I don’t need to hire anybody.
FROM WHOLESALERS-I will order the t-shrits in bulk (100 at a time)so the shipping will be negligible.

TO BUYERS-buyers will pay shipping for their items.

Are there any “hidden fees” with Site Build It?

Jan 07 2010 Published by eranio under adwords

I am interested in going with Site Build It to start a website. After doing a lot of research in how websites get indexed into Google, Yahoo, Ask, etc, I have found that Site Build It seems to really be a time saver while helping your site get traffic.

However, the price for Site Build It seems pretty steep. It seems to average out to a month. This is not bad, but putting 0 bucks up front for my budget is. My only fear is that there are hidden fees. Do they try to upsell you to anything else promising you will do better? Do you have to put in a lot of money to google adwords to ensure your website will draw traffic? I have seen a lot of blogs and such about site build it that say you have to follow it exactly for it to work.

There are a lot of sites/products that promise a good thing, but fail to mention there are other things you have to buy. I am not looking for anyone giving me the run around then providing me with their link to give them profit.
Its not that I do not want to give someone a profit for their hard work, but for right now I am just wanting to get all of the information I can before I invest my time and money.

I would also like to know how much you can make with this program. I understand it is not a get rich quick. I currently have about 5 blogs that I work with that have affiliates and ad programs and realize that it takes time. I also understand that it depends on what niche you choose.

I am not looking to dig into anyone’s personal life, but feel that at least getting an idea of what I can potentially make per month or per year would be the same as going onto the occupational handbook to look up a job and the potential income. Everytime I have asked the question of what you can make, people have said " I have made the cost of the site plus more"

This does not tell me anything..it could be 9 + . Thanks in advance for the answers.
