Blogger Buzz: Blogger integrates with Amazon Associates

Everyone wants traffic going to their website.
We are all aware that an awesome product and
the perfect sales page does not equal sales.
No sales means no money...not a good result.
Here are some tips and hints to use to help you
get the results you want.

# Potential buyers will go into Google, type in
their keywords and research has shown they are
more likely to look at the left hand Free
Organic results rather than the Pay per Click
results on the right. This is good news for
people who want to optimize their site and not
pay for advertising.

# Getting high numbers of traffic to your site
is not the complete answer. You want to increase
targeted web site traffic that will buy.

# The secret to targeted traffic is your keyword
phrases. You must be specific, take advantage of
the long tail of your niche.

# An example, if you are promoting holiday
accomodation, do not use holiday accomodation as
your keyword phrase. You would be competing in too
big a market and would be lucky to get any traffic.
Use the long tail and be specific. Have the keyword
phrase "Holiday Accomodation Rotorua New Zealand."
The visitors will be looking for a holiday in
Rotorua and are likely to buy.

# Check out what your competiton is doing, what is
the No 1 doing and what is their page ranking.
Don't try to compete with the large corporations
like Amazon.

# Before you spend time optimizing your site for a
particular keyword phrase test it. Spend $20- $50.00
on Pay Per Click and see what results you get.
If the results are good go ahead, there is nothing
worse than spending your time optimising a site
that no one is going to look at.

# Create a theme based website, Google understands
the concepts of themes and you donot have to keep
repeating your full keyword phase. If you have a
golf theme, Google understands that swing means
golf swing.

# When you are setting up your site make sure it is
user friendly. If your traffic does not find it easy
to use they will simply leave your site. Although
you want to get a high ranking form Google remember
it is your visitors who buy not Google.

# To help save your time and energy I would
reccommend using software like SEO Elite.
Brad Callen has created an amazing piece of software.
He also offers valuable information with the product.

# After completing your on page optimization you
need to do the off site work. By this I mean you
need to create links to your site. Google goes to one
site then goes to the sites that are linked to the
original one. If you are not linked to a site that
Google has given a ranking to it will be a long time
before Google ranks your site.
