Internet. Business. Profit. To fully integrate all of these words into a successful merging you will need another word. Traffic. Every article you will find about making your site or company successful would always include the importance of generating traffic.

If you already have a site and you want think that you’re not getting the traffic that you’re supposed to be getting, then its time to reconsider. If you are contending in these very competitive business, you should always be a step ahead of your competition, increasing your traffic flow should have been done starting yesterday.

To help you out in generating more traffic for your site, here are some surefire ways to increase your traffic starting from yesterday.

1) Invest in good advertising with search engines

Google’s Adwords and Yahoo’s Search marketing are great advertising scheme that are very truly popular and assures great traffic. Although with this surefire way to increase your traffic would cost some money. While some would shy away from spending money to increase traffic, it is imperative in this case to do so because Adwords and yahoo search marketing is the top surefire way to increase your traffic.

2) Exchange or Trade Links with other sites

With exchanging links with other sites, both of you will benefit from the efforts both of you do to enhance your sites traffic. When one site features another sites link, they could provide one another with the traffic one site generates. The efforts are doubly beneficial because it would seem like both of you are working to generate more traffic. The more links traded with more sites the more traffic could be expected.

3) Use Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs or if ever low costs only. This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky; you can attach your company’s name, product or link to a certain media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip or buzz. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.

4) Search and use proper keywords or keyword phrases for your sites content

Search engines look for certain keywords that they would show in their results page. In doing so, having the right keyword and keyword phrase is a high requirement in ranking in high in search engine results. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to do it for you.

5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site

Submit articles to sites that would contain the same subject that your site deals in. If you sell car parts write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach your sites description and services at the end of the article as well as the link.

6) Join forums and form online communities

Capture a market and show your expertise and credibility. When you found a good foundation for your site, people will trust you and your site and will pass on to many people their trust. Traffic will certainly increase because they know that you can provide what they need.

7) Lastly, Offer newsletters.

If many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find a loyal traffic that can provide you with more traffic by recommendation. If you arouse the curiosity of your customers they would be pushed to help you with your traffic.

Tell a Friend Script

One of the easiest methods is to put a tell a friend script. This is a simple programming script that you can attach to the programming of your website. Generally, tell a friends script are installed in pages where a media is placed so that a person can easily send the media to any of his friends or his family members.

My novel is aimed at readers ages eleven through seventeen years old; although I’m predicting it will be most attracted to the younger side at ages eleven to thirteen since the protagonist is twelve to thirteen years old. The readers between the ages of fourteen and seventeen might buy the book if they can easily relate to the protagonist and her life as well as the readers at ages eleven and thirteen could. What is unique about my book is that it may be about a protagonist a little young for a young adult audience, but a lot of the content is intense and emotional, which is very common in young adult stories. I’m also predicting that most of my readers will be girls.
I saw on the internet that there are a lot of new fantasy books by popular authors such as Steven Erikson. However, the audience of his books is not middle school and high school age girls. A fantasy book aimed at the same audience as mine is Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George, another popular author. Therefore, I can tell that the fantasy book competition is tough.
My goal is to sell at least two-hundred copies in the first year. I have many ideas for marketing and promoting my book. One is to put up promoting videos on Youtube, Blogspot, and other websites that will help promote my book. The second is to create a website for me as well as my book and add it to search engines such as Yahoo and Google as well as my book. The third is to arrange online, newspaper, and radio interviews. The fourth is to create blogs about my book and perhaps comment on other people’s blogs if they are based on their books. Another plan is to have other people I know read my book and post reviews online. The final plan is to write a press release and distribute it.
There are a few ways I will reach my target audience. One is to hold a book signing in my community at a small library or independent bookstore. My plan is to put up flyers around my community that contain my book cover and the information about the signings. Another idea is to do a talk and discussion at my local library. The final idea is to start a book club where I would meet with readers monthly, and discuss my book; maybe turn it into a podcast.

It won’t work. It all sounds very credible and energetic, but it won’t work. I’m sorry. I know this isn’t the answer you want. I wish I could give you a different one.

How do I know? I’ve been working in publishing for decades. I’ve been helping teach workshops for aspiring writers since 1998. And since the early 90s, I’ve been associated with an informal group of industry professionals who publicize scams aimed at newbie writers. So yeah, I do know what I’m talking about.

Ever notice how many of the "authorities" on self-publishing and self-promotion have written books about how to publish and promote your own books, which they’ll happily sell you? That’s an old piece of flimflam: selling insider information on how to do something lucrative or desirable — work at home, get out of paying taxes, make big bucks on foreclosed real estate, become a successful self-published author. By the time you figure out that their advice doesn’t work, they’re out of reach, and you’ve lost all the time and money you put into trying to make it work.

There are "recognized authorities" out there selling books about how you can make your book an infallible bestseller, when they’ve never been published anywhere but at Xlibris. It’s a weird world. And don’t even get me started on the companies that offer to "help you get published." They’re not your friends, to put it mildly. The only honest ones are Booklocker and Lulu.com, which promise to manufacture bound copies of your books, and leave it at that.

Your average self-promoting self-published author sells between 70 and 75 copies total. Most of them put out an unreasonable amount of effort just to sell that many. It’s quite common for them to wind up spending several times as much money as they make. An even sadder statistic is that a year or two or three down the road, most of them have given up writing.

Let’s test your marketing plan: How often have you bought books by people you’ve never heard of because they put up a video on YouTube, started a website or blog, sent out press releases, posted flyers, had their friends post reviews on Amazon, or held a book signing at your local library or mall? How many books have your friends or relatives bought that way? I’m betting the answer is "none." If neither you nor anyone you know buys books on that basis, why should you think other people are going to buy yours?

Self-published books don’t get reviewed by real publications, and their authors don’t get interviewed by the commercial media. No one comes to their book signings or discussions, or listens to their podcasts. If you live in a small town, your small-town newspaper will run a story headlined "local person publishes book," but they’ll do it in the same spirit in which they’d run a story headlined "local person builds model of White House out of popsicle sticks." As for having your friends post reviews, readers can spot those a lot more readily than you imagine. They get plenty of practice, since most self-promoting writers try it.

What you should do instead: Keep writing. Send your books out to conventional publishing houses. While you’re waiting for them to come back, write some more. The only way you can ever get anywhere as a writer is to write books people want to buy and read. If you can do that, you don’t have to self-publish and self-promote, because paying publishers will come knocking at your door. If you can’t do that, no scheme in the world is going to make you a success, because you can’t force people to read books they don’t want.

You don’t have to take my word on it. Go to this forum, post the same thing you posted here, and see what they say. Don’t worry — they’re nice people, and they know their stuff. http://absolutewrite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22

Here’s a semi-FAQ one of them has written. I particularly recommend message #45. http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58205

I wish you the best of luck. Please take care of yourself.

Few publishers will pick up a book only aiming to sell 200 copies. If the book is finished, shop it to an agent first. Then they can find the publisher.

Hopefully this querie won’t be ignored!

I’m doing ads online (i.e. with google, kijiji, etc.) local and faraway classifieds, joined forums and every freelancer site I can find (like guru.com). This has gone on for about 3 years, and I’ve gotten some really good clients, but this is still not regular enough to quit my day job. It’s not like there isn’t a market for this – I can design and illustrate everything from logos to annual reports, billboards, and children’s books, and I’m also a painter and illustrator. I know there are people out there with the same skills who have more work than they can handle (I’ve appealed to many but most of them consider me competition and say to start my own business). I have the skill and experience, what am I not doing to get steady art/design/illustration work? Are there marketing flaws in my site?

my site is www.mimosacreations.com

1. Make your website title more descriptive – e.g. Mimosa Creations – Childrens Books Illustrator
2. Your navigation bar has to be more user friendly. Just lay out all the links on the page.
3. Put in your photo and make the site more personal. Don’t refer yourself as a third person. Say ‘I’. Write as though you are talking to your client. Put in more personality into your writing and website.
4. Make the fonts in your website bigger… now its hard to read.
5. Put in client testimonials e.g. Mimosa is great! I highly recommend blah blah.
6. You should improve your level of service, so that your clients will want to work with you on a long term basis. E.g. do a good job, make clients happy, do something unexpected
7. Do some charity / free work to promote your work.
8. Some of the artwork in your website looks dull, brighten it up in Photoshop. Replace old artwork with your latest work.

When you first start marketing to different countries you will need to organize the information on your website. How do you go about doing that? If you have a website you will naturally have questions buzzing around your head about search engine results. You don’t want to lose any of your Search Engine Optimization efforts.

In the very beginning you have two choices to prepare for international business development. You can decide to start with:

• A separate English language International website
• Internationalizing your current website

This is just the preparation. Internationalizing your website can even be compared to doing a little housekeeping. It simply cleans up your website.

The next step after this is to create country specific content for your international audience. Once you create country specific content, what do you do with it?

Website Localization is the next step. Website Localization usually refers to creating a website registered in your foreign market using the Top Level Domain (TLD) of that country. Your website would have create country specific content, as well as the look and feel that would match the country. This website would have a URL like this:

yourcompennyname.fr for France

yourcompennyname.de for Germany

Website Localization might be too big of a step for you. Especially if you are just a small online business and not really sure where your international markets are. You might not want the extra website management tasks involved with Website Localization.

What do you do with your culturally specific content for different markets? There are different ways to target your content:

• Language
• Country
• Regions
• Country specific product or content needs

You have three choices in separating the content that is culture specific on your website:

Subdirectories

yourcompennyname.com/countryname

Or using the the Top Level Domain for the country after your regular URL. An example is fr for France.

yourcompennyname.com/fr

Many people start here. This is very easy to set up.

Sub Domains

countryname.yourcompennyname.com

fr.yourcompennyname.com

This is an easy method to separate content. It is also a very easy way to manage your country specific content.

Companies choose this option when they want everything on one server, as opposed to using the Top Level Domains.

Top Level Domains

yourcompennyname.fr for France

An option for someone expanding their business into the European region is the use the .eu top level domain.

yourcompennyname.eu

This is what we just referred to for Website Localization.

Use this when you have enough different content for each country you are targeting.

Getting Good Search Engine Results

How do you get and keep good search engine results with multilingual content?

Doesn’t this factor influence your decision in how you organize your country specific content online?

Many companies feel that starting a second website, or multiple websites, dilutes their SEO strength. Having all your content on one website gives you better search engine results. This can be a very important point for small and mid-sized businesses.

Before looking into the marketing factors, let’s look at current international SEO.

Luckily Search Engines have become much better at automatically detecting the language on your website. This trend will continue even further companies translate their content into more and more languages.

Google Webmasters

You can help your foreign search engine results even further.

Google does a good job at detecting the language on your website. Google is also the leading search engine in many countries worldwide. Many of the other foreign search engines rely on Google for results. But not all of them. Google has serious competitors in a few foreign countries.

First you should check to see if Google, or a Google-based search engine, is one of the top search engines in the countries you are targeting. If it is, then you can rely on one of Google’s tools to help you get good results in those foreign countries.

At google.com/webmasters you can do some geo-targeting for specific pages on your website. You can set select different parts of your website and tell Google to associate these parts with a specific language or country.

Google recognizes the countries people search from through their IP addresses. Your Google Webmasters settings make it easy for Google to put you in the right categories. Your results will come up higher in these country or language specific searches.

Guidelines To Choosing Which Website Option

The recent improvements in multilingual SEO will continue. Your choice on how you set up your different cultural content on your website becomes much more of a pure marketing choice.

If you are just starting out and have minimal content for each country or culture, you may want to use sub-directories.

• This is very easy to set up and gives you time to grow during your preliminary phase of international market research.

If your website is on one topic aimed at different audiences, it makes sense to go for Sub Domains.

• This keeps all of your content on the same subject on one server.
• You can guide your country specific SEO with Google Webmasters tools to get visibility in foreign searches.

If you sell different things to different countries, or if you have a strong business presence in a country, use a Top Level Domain.

• This often represents a distinct business advantage in most cultures where your company is recognized as a “local” company.

International Marketing Is Your Bottom Line

1 – If your content is on the same subject:

• Link everything to one domain name.

By keeping all of your content on the same subject on the same website you will have:

• Better search engine results
• Easier website management

2 – If your content is distinct due to different markets or different language:

• This merits a separate website

You will have one distinct advantage:

• Stronger cultural marketing

Improvements in international search engine optimization options will lead to better international marketing. What can you do today?

• Have a look at how your competitors are organizing their international content online.
• Sit down with your marketing team and brainstorm the consequences of each option available for your business.

This is how you will find the best solution for your company on where to put your country specific content online.

Are you committed to speeding up your international sales cycles?
