Use Newsletters to Draw Traffic to Your Online Business

Publicat de Mr. Miaghy on 08:49 comentarii (0)

If you own a website or an online business, there are countless ways to market yourself and drive traffic to the site. You can use inbound links and other SEO approaches toboost your PageRank. You can create a Facebook page and try to draw business through social networking means. You can put paid advertisements on websites that your target demographic may frequent. The list goes on.

Of the myriad options available to you, there’s one that repeatedly goes overlooked: creating a digital newsletter or bulletin that can be sent out to your mailing list on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. This newsletter is less an overt advertisement for your business and more of an informative, industry-specific publication. It should contain news, advice, and analysis related to your area of focus. If the website you’re promoting is a blog, a bulletin could merely be a collection of new blog posts put into newspaper form.

Certainly, making a newsletter can be a time-intensive undertaking since it requires that you write new content and then organize it into newsletter form. But, at the same time, there are many benefits that can be gained from your efforts. Here are a few of the key ones:

Free Advertising

While your newsletter may not be an overt advertisement for your business, at least as far as the articles are concerned, it should certainly include promotions, giveaways, deals, sales, and anything else of note that is going on with your business. This amounts to a highly effective form of free advertising; although an email containing only promotional material may be perceived poorly by consumers, a mailing that includes an informative newsletter costs you just as little to send and is potentially much more impactful.

Establish Loyal Customers

If you did choose to write a bulletin for your site, you would likely disseminate it via email. More specifically, you would probably send it to any consumer who has previously provided their contact information. While some of these people would probably opt out of receiving your newsletter, there’s a good chance that a core group would read it cover to cover every month. This latter type of consumer has a strong interest in your industry and is likely to regularly frequent sites and businesses such as yours. By sending them a newsletter attached to your name, you can turn this interest into loyalty.

Create Legitimacy

It is often difficult for small businesses – especially those based solely online – to initially convince prospective customers of their legitimacy, credibility, and professionalism. This is where a newsletter can be especially beneficial. By sending out a well-designed, well-written newsletter on a regular basis, the consumer will be more easily convinced of your professionalism and expertise. Although it only takes a day of work and a program like Microsoft Publisher to make a newsletter, a reader can be easily led to believe that you run a high-powered, sophisticated operation.

While putting out a bulletin is not the easier way to market your business, it nonetheless remains one of the cheapest – and, when it comes to creating loyal customers, it is also one of the most effective. If you’re looking to cheaply drive more traffic to your site, it’s something you might want to consider.

Why Not Offer Subscription?

Don’t create a sluggish look of your blog with useless feed buttons at every corner. Just take a deep breath and work on to create a subscription page. You can provide your users with different instructions to subscribe to your page. You can explain different areas of your blog for subscription purposes. By using WordPress, you can do it with great ease. It will simply provide an option to subscribe all the content of your blog through RSS feed. It’s really interesting to have access through RSS.

If you don’t have many categories and tags, then you can easily provide a complete list of separate links, which is a good idea indeed. Similarly, you can also provide a news feed option, which can attract them further. Never forget to add comments option and you can install its plug-in to facilitate them through subscription. Through this way, readers can easily revive an e-mail, which will inform your users about their entry or reply on your blog. You have to explain it well on the blog page too.

If you are a Beginner!

For the first timers, it’s very important to know how the visitors are invading your blog and what they can expect from you. Their liking and disliking regarding the content is also very important.

Google can not take China

Publicat de Mr. Miaghy on 10:38 comentarii (0)

China is the world’s largest potential market for almost every thing, from baby milk to cars, from computer software to internet service. However, not every company with an intention to make a fortune in China ends up in happiness, despite how successful they are outside China. Google is such an example. Google never had a smooth road in China since its entry. It was tied to an incidence of showing porn related content (See Article from Chinatells), and the CEO of Google China resigned to set up his own fund (See Article from Chinatells). Now Google China is having more headache with a site attack from China and the management seems desperate therefore threatens to quit (See Article from Yahoo). I doubt Google is serious about quiting China as they simply can not afford to lose this market due to strategic and competition reasons, even though currently China only contributes a tiny portion of Google’s global revenue. After all I think Google learned a lesson in China, that it is a different country with ever changing hard and soft infrastructure every month. It probably won’t work that well to utilize a global standard practice and mentality in China for any meaningful success.

5 Ways to Improve and Speed Up Google Searches

Publicat de Mr. Miaghy on 10:31 comentarii (0)

Google – It’s arguably the best and most powerful search engine the web has to offer right now. While the popular search engine is in fact typically a consumer’s go-to choice to find articles, images and other information on products and services, if a user does not utilize Google in the correct manner he or she can end up spending way too much time shuffling through irrelevant result pages.

That said, a consumer needs to know how to use the search engine via the power of “key words.” In fact, this is how Google stores web pages in its database – it picks up on words and phrases found in various articles and gives you what it “thinks” you’re looking for. Thus to make sure you know how to refine your search so that you can save time and get the exact information that you want, check out the tips and tricks below to learn how to optimize Google to the best of your ability.

1. When Searching Definitions

Definitions – Let’s be honest, no one carries around pocket dictionaries around anymore. But they do carry their smartphones with them at all times. If you want to find the definition of a word in a jiffy while on the go (or even at home), it’s important that you don’t get duped by free dictionary advertisements that sometimes give you obscure definitions of words. To skip the fluff and get a straight answer, simply type in “define:” before the word you are looking for. For example, this is what appears when typing “define: beautiful” –

5 Ways to Improve and Speed Up Google Searches

The definition will appear at the immediate top of the results page. It will even provide you with an audio feature so you can hear the proper pronunciation of the word.

2. When Expanding Results

When Google users can’t find what they’re looking for, often times they will refine their searches by changing the key words or rearrange the phrasing. A better way to do this is to use a tilde so that Google will automatically pick-up synonymous of your keywords as well. So for example, when looking for inexpensive vacation packages to Barbados, the words cheap, affordable, and inclusive appeared as well.

3. When Looking for Articles Within a Specific Site

Often times, Web sites (like ours) will provide a search bar so users can locate a specific article in the archives. But if the site does not, you can save a substantial amount of time by looking for the article through Google’s search bar. All you have to do is a type in a strong key word before adding “site:” and the Web site’s URL for whatever you are looking for to appear immediately. This is what happens when looking for articles in Namase.com relating to cloud computing-

4. When Looking for Similar Site/Pages

When you first begin to research about a topic, product or service sometimes you may not immediately get a page that provides you with all the information you need. A site may have some of the information, but not everything. In these instances you can refine your search so that Google formulates a list of sites that are similar in nature by simply typing in“related:” and then adding the URL of the website that is close but not right-on-the-money. So for example, when wanting to find more information about the nutritional values of eggs, we came across enc-online.org and then found these other sources by tying in “related: enc-online.org”

5. When Searching for Images

Lastly, you can find the image(s) you want, including size, ratio, type and can even narrow the photos down to users rights by utilizing the advanced Google Image search bar.

How to add breadcrumb in Wordpress theme Mystique 3.1

Publicat de Mr. Miaghy on 10:28 comentarii (0)

In our earlier article, we showed a way for users to Display Commenter’s Information in Mystique 3.0. In this article, we will share with you a way by which you can add Breadcrumbs to Mystique Theme. We recommend you to add Breadcrumb to your Mystique Theme. It is a very good addition to the design because of usability and it also provides SEO benefits because it links to the path hence increasing bot activity in page indexing. Breadcrumbs provide a way to easily navigate through site, from post, to category, to the next post, or from child page, to parent page etc.

How to add Breadcrumb in WordPress Theme Mystique 3.1

First you need to download the Breadcrumb plugin and activate it.

Note: Activate Mystique Child Theme (Mystique-Extend), and copy single.php from parent Mystique Theme folder to child Mystique Theme folder.

Under WordPress Dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor. Open Single.php
Search for

<?php $app->action('before_post'); ?>
 
            <!-- post -->

then add following code after above lines:

<div class="post-links clear-block" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
        <?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
           yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');
        } ?>
</div>

After adding above code you will see Breadcrumb on your post, if you want to display it on other pages then follow same way, or ask me in comments.

One more thing, previous and next post link are useful when links are after the post instead of above post title, so look for code

<?php if($app->options('single_links')): ?>
            <div class="post-links clear-block">
              <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div>
              <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
            </div>
<?php endif; ?>
