Why Your MLM Company’s Replicated Website Will Not Make Any Sale?

I’ve seen a lot of network marketers bragging that their company offers a replicated website. The truth is these replicated sites are just baloney and will not make convert traffic into sales.

For some reasons:

Disclaimer: the following content that I’m going to share are based only on my opinion and experience as an internet marketer. If your company’s replicated site works for you then that’s good. These are only based on our standard as an experienced internet marketer.

1. It is not designed to make a sale, it’s just only a brochure of what your company offers.

2. It is not focus on what benefits it can give to people. People doesn’t care about your company, what they care most are the benefits they can get.

3. It doesn’t have headline to catch attention remember the 3 second rule on websites. If you don’t have a good headline then people will just click the back button or visit another site.

4. It has many link to click on just to get the information, it should be compress to one page only.

5. Sometimes it has a flash animation which take too much time to download

6. It doesn’t capture leads such as contact information of the person who visit the site.

Anyway these are only SOME of the reasons why it will not convert. In this post also I’m going to share with you “How to make a good website that will convert traffic into sales.”

1. It should be one page

2. It must have an optin form which means that you can capture visitors information so that you can build relationship with them

3. It must have a good headline that capture the attention of your audience

4. A good introduction the will grab the visitor’s interest at an emotional level and that will draw visitors into the copy allowing you to make a presentation of the product or service your offer.

5. It should provide credibility through testimonials about real results. It should also include the person’s fullname and picture.

6. Enumerate the benefits of your products and services using bullet format.

7. Bonus: It should also include something valuable in addition to the main product.

8. It should have an ordering button like “Make Order Now”. And make the ordering process and instructions absurdly clear.

After you created a sales page please do split testing to measure the effectiveness of the sales page.

5 Reasons Why Your Blog Traffic Isn’t Increasing

Increasing your blog’s traffic isn’t as easy as just throwing content up on your site and hoping that people are going to read it, at least not for the majority of bloggers. There is actually quite a bit of behind the scenes work that goes into increasing your readership base. If you’ve been wondering why your traffic rates either are stagnant or have fallen flat, it could be that you’re committing one of these blogging sins:

1. You aren’t marketing your posts – With social media being as powerful a tool as it is if you aren’t harnessing that power to promote your blog posts then you are digging yourself a blogging grave. Social media gives you the ability to reach hundreds of thousands of new readers each day… you just have to use it! Each time you write a new post link to it on all of your social media accounts so that you’re followers know about it. Take advantage of hashtags and group forums to market yourself as well.

2. You’re inconsistent and unpredictable – Readers like a certain amount of regularity and predictability when it comes to blogs. If you have a routine of posting every single day and then you disappear without a word for a month you’re going to lose followers. Figure out a schedule that you can stick with and be consistent with your posts.

3. You’re posts aren’t providing anything of value – People want to read something of value when they come to your blog, something they didn’t know before. And while blogging about your life may make readers feel like they have a more personal connection with you, you have to mix it up with posts that contain information that they can use as well. This information is completely depending on the niche you’re blog falls under – so if you’re a technology blog provide technology tips, whereas if you’re a cooking blog offer up new recipes.

4. You aren’t interacting with other blogs – The fastest way to get new traffic to your blog is to establish a presence among other blogs through commenting regularly on their posts and interacting with them on social media. As people start to recognize your name they’ll naturally gravitate over toward your blog as well.

5. Use Keywords and SEO techniques – Figuring out SEO tactics is like learning to ride a bike… it might take you a few tries before you get it right but once you learn how it will change your life. Being able to use effective SEO and keywords will help you get better indexing on all of the search engines, making it easier for people to find your blog and start reading.

Building your blog’s traffic doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right practices in place it will happen. Be patient and be diligent and soon enough you’ll start to see your numbers spike.

Is Your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tactics Are Dead?

In the 90’s it was easier to get to the top of the search engines. But as search engines evolved, many of the SEO practices become less effective.

However, if you visit SEO forums and blogs, you will see many of these obsolete tactics still advised as legitimate tactics.

To end this misinformation, I summarize the tactics that I have applied and read from the Website Magazine issue date May 2010. Below are the popular, yet obsolete SEO tactics that no longer work and some effective alternatives.

Keyword Stuffing – I believe most online marketers and web developers still use this old school technique. In the 90’ the practice of “keyword stuffing” is very effective because search engines were unsophisticated. The problem with this practice today is that it can have a negative impact as Google imposes penalties on gamed content.

Alternative for Keyword Stuffing:

Create content for your readers not for search engines.

Make sure that your niche keywords are present in important region of your webpage such as headers, subheads, title tags and meta description snippets/

Structure your keywords on your website in a way that it is easily found by people and search engine.

Blog Comment Spamming – Webmasters and online marketers still aggressively drop links in blog comments as their primary tactics of Link Building. But Google introduced nofollow links tags (a signal to search engine spiders to ignore a link) and is known to devalue links in blog comments.

So what to do instead is try to produce a well written, engaging, and though provoking content is the best way to attract quality links. Good content generates editorial links – naturally occurring links from other blogs and news sources that search engine value for more than comments in blog posts.

Search Engine Submission – Google’s ability to discover and index new content is so advanced that this method is obsolete. I spent a lot of bucks on this tactics paying to search engine submission companies to submit my website and it’s just waste of money.

To ensure that your website gets discovered quickly by search engines, drop a link to your website on a social media platform like Facebook and Twitter. For example if you have a Twitter account, tweet a link to your website or add it in your profile link. High traffic and popular websites like Twitter are crawled by search engine constantly.

Meta Tag Optimization – Particularly “meta keywords” tag. These days, Google is on record as saying they pay no attention to the “meta keywords” tag. So the era of keyword stuffing meta tags is absolutely buried and dead.

To optimize your website or blog pages to rank for more keywords, use category and tag systems to better label and organize your website content.

Link Exchanges – This is the most popular and favorite method use by majority of website owners, internet marketers, and webmasters. Website owners exchange links with other websites to improve site rankings and traffics. Link exchanging in moderation are not really an issue as interlinking is glue that binds the web. The trouble occurs when website owners actively engage in link exchange schemes to intentionally influence rankings – which Google deems a violation.

What to do instead. Rather than participating in link exchange schemes, offer testimonials to business vendors you work with. Providing testimonials is an easy way to get link to your website in return for writing something favorable and sincere about your vendor.

The internet is a fast changing industry so as SEO is affected by it. Be sure to avoid these DEAD techniques. Not only will your website suffer in ranking but even worse – might be penalized for banned tactics.

Can Google +1 ‘Plus One’ Increase Search Engine Rankings? | Google +1

You probably heard Google +1 ‘plus one’ for the past few months. It acts like the FB “Like” button or Twitter’s “Follow” button. But it is not competing with Facebook and Twitter because Google is a search engine not a social networking site nor a micro-blogging platform.

Basically Google +1 count as an up vote to a blog post, website, or search result. But what does Google +1 do with SERP (search engine ranking result page) is that the more ‘Votes’ you get the more Google will trust your website. But I’m not saying that your website will be on top of the search result but there is a possibility.

Currently, I do not know what Google’s anti-spam measures on this but probably they have them in place already. So better not to Spam by clicking the ”+1 button” that much because Google might penalized your website.

If you have a tribes or a community ask them to ‘Vote’ your post.

Another exciting part is that Google +1 will become a permanent addition to Google Adwords. This will benefit Google PPC (Pay-per-click) marketers as well.

I’m pretty sure that Google +1 is one of the ranking factors of Google right now. So better start adding ‘Google plus one’ button of your website now.

If you think that the information that I provided is useful to you then pay-it-forward by clicking the Plus One button at the top of this post and share this post to your Facebook and Twitter friends as well.
