How To Survive Google Rocky Search Engine Updates
If you've been promoting your site on the Google search engine, you've probably experienced ups and downs at times unless you are a strong authority site whereby these updates don't have practically any effect on your rankings such that the latter are rather stable. These ups and downs are what the seo marketers call the Google updates. These updates are important because Google is tweaking its algorithm to deliver better search engine results and hopefully to solve problems which are being faced by marketers ie url canonicalization, duplicate content and 302 redirects. In the past months and years, there have been several updates eg Florida, Allegra, Bourbon, Jagger and the latest one at the time of this writing(0

I am sure I have listened to just about every Internet Marketing Expert alive on this planet talk about web traffic. Some will tell you, that you need to get as much web traffic as possible, others will tell you that you only need a little bit of traffic to make money on the web. Each of these gurus talk about how they achieved so many sales from 10,000 visitors, or we will guarantee you will make at least 1 sale from every 1,000 visitors you have at your website even if it’s a ugly website.

Well, I don’t want to give you any false hopes on how many sales you will make, in fact, I want to share with you, what can really go wrong on the web if you are not seriously careful in getting the right web traffic. I had been working with a couple of different mentors for our business from both the traditional Bricks and Mortar perspective and an Internet perspective. I wanted to test out a new sales page I had written to see if we could sell any of our Microsoft Office Specialist Excel Training kits online. Everybody who has seen our training programs have always commented on how easy they are to understand and how much more professional they are to others on the market.

Delegation Dilemmas
It’s late Friday afternoon and everyone is packaging up to go home for the weekend except Janette. Her desk is still piled high with all those important assignments. Why does Janette still have work when no one else does? She just can't let go. Others have a life, but she's too busy ensuring her importance to the company and working late. If she has her finger in every piece of the pie it will make her more important? The reality is that she does not impress anyone. Others may question her ability to perform (she always has work to do and has to stay light to do it.) The favorable portrait she hopes to paint may actually be a negative one. What can Janette do? She can set boundaries. Pick the assignments she can a

Customer Focus Strategy
For more than twenty years the mantra in private enterprise and public enterprise has been "customer focus". The phrase appears on mission statements, vision statement and "our values" statements adorning private and public enterprise walls alike.The phrase has been embedded in part by an exponential growth in management processes and systems based processes. The advent of systems based methods such as Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management have hard coded customer needs into organisations.Quality methods such as Six Sigma and Total Quality Management have often been used to focus attention on delivering upon customer's needs. The full list of methods whi

The Barf Factor
During a recent presentation we were discussing the importance of being able to deliver a clear, concise message when you first meet with a prospect and we agreed that a quick, thirty second introduction would be an effective approach. A participant challenged me, saying that an introduction of this nature sounded canned and rehearsed. As he recited his opening message, I fully agreed with him—it did sound canned. Not to mention extremely difficult to understand.Unfortunately, he made one of the fatal mistakes that many sales people make when they first introduce themselves to a potential customer or client. The mistake is to barf on them. Not figuratively of course. But verbally. - Too many sales people m

With the help of our internet mentor, we built a sales page, and then used Google’s Adwords to drive traffic to our website. The advert we had put together on Google was nothing short of amazing; our Click Through Rate or CTR was as high as 12.5% which is absolutely out there. I had achieved something I never thought I would. After 24 hours we had 1,200 visitors with about 120 people registered for our free chapter extract, after 6 days I had had over 10,000 unique visitors to our website with approximately 900 people having given us their email addresses to get their free chapter.

One Catch – WE HAD ZERO SALES

What I had effectively done was to drive traffic from Google to our site to get their free chapter but the traffic that was driven to our site had absolutely no interest in buying anything from us, they only wanted what we going to give them for free. Now to give you an idea of what that traffic cost, to get those 10,000 unique visitors to my site had cost me just over $3,500 US dollars. I should make a note at this point, I had implemented all the programs, internet marketers recommend l
