Think about it this way. How many times have you found a site through a major search engine or directory, only to visit the site and not be able to find what you're looking for anywhere on the site? What do you do next? You go back to the search engine and click on the next site. That site has lost a customer: you.

Helping your visitors find what they're looking for on your site can cover a great many areas, such as navigation, user interface issues, and the lack of a clear "call to action."

But one way around many of those issues is to offer an onsite search engine, so that once visitors hit your site, they can easily find exactly what they're looking for.

The really neat thing about onsite search engines is that many of them are FREE. Yes, you read right: free. Of course, that also means that you may have ads in your search results, which may or may not present problems for you. However, even if you choose to purchase an onsite engine, the cost is generally not expensive.

What should you look for in an onsite search engine?

• Good customer support. If you begin to have problems with the engine, you want to be able to get help in fixing it.

• Reports that let you know what people are searching for once they reach your site. Just think of the GOLD this will tell you! If you don't have a page that covers a particular topic, make one!

• Ease in setting up the engine. This may or may not be an issue to you, but if you're like me, you want something that is simple to set up and maintain.

• An extensive "help" section at the site that will walk you through setting up the engine and answer any questions you might have.

• The ability to keep the engine out of certain areas of your site that you don't want spidered and available through the search, such as employee areas, password-protected member areas, etc.

    Affiliate Marketing Step... Set Yourself Apart from the Rest.
    I'm sure you've heard the expression, "This is where you separate the men from the boys."It's usually used when you're faced with some ridiculous stunt like jumping off a bridge with a rubber band tied to your foot. Or when you're staring at a sheer cliff with nothing to climb up it but your hands and feet. Or when you have a job walking around six inch beams 200 feet up in the air.Yeah, I'd say that would be some severe separation.We can use the same expression for affiliate marketing also.The real men (and women) are the ones that can set themselves apart from the rest of the pack, make a name for themselves, and start making new trends. The boys and girls are the ones that fol

      With all the rubbish running on the internet, with all cons sitting behind their computers just waiting for another bait to arrive, finding a good a wholesale supplier nowadays is like looking for a needle in a haystack.And the big problem when you finally get a hold of some links to wholesale websites is that most of the time, those links are probably broken, or selling old products that nobody wants anymore.You see, what happens most of the time when you’re looking for wholesale suppliers on the internet, is that you’ll probably land on a web page selling you some information on a wholesale “list”.But in reality, the only thing you get from a wholesale “list” is a bunch of links.

      Goji Juice Distribution
      The biggest "feel-good" marketing opportunity that I have come across in a long time comes from a veteran supplement and vitamin manufacturer and distributor. They not so many years ago discovered the benefits of the much cherished goji berry. After rigorous testing and product trials, they found a way to process these little berries into a delicious and refreshing beverage, one that keeps the optimum potential of the product ready to be used by the consumer.Once people started trying this much celebrated goji juice, it was quickly discovered that they really nailed this one. They found that they had a product that could really change lives. People using it felt great. they even looked great. The pro

    • The ability to spider password-protected areas so that your member areas can have their own onsite search.

    • The ability to customize search results pages.

    • The capability to request re-indexing whenever you update the site, or even to schedule re-indexing on a regular basis.

    In my training material and resource library at the Academy, I had an onsite search engine for a long time. Then, the company folded. Until recently, I hadn't set up another onsite engine, because the one onsite engine that I really wanted to use didn't index password-protected areas. So, I "patiently" waited for the onsite engine, FreeFind, to add this to their list of features. When they recently did, I jumped on it, and now both of my online training programs have excellent onsite search engines through FreeFind (http://www.freefind.com).

    But why did FreeFind stand out among the others, and why was it so important to me to wait until they could index password- protected areas? FreeFind offers some features that I couldn't find on other onsite search engines, features that would help me tremendously with my work.

    For example:

    • FreeFind will automatically create a What's New page, after you've any changes to the site. Just think of how much help that will be for me with my training material? Between my two programs (beginning and advanced), I have over 1000 resource pages to update every single month, and I've been creating the "What's New" page by hand. Now, it's automatically created for me.

    • FreeFind is the only onsite search engine that enables your visitors to find the page they're looking for, then keeps an eye on it for any changes. Their ChangeDetection (tm) monitoring system lets your users monitor a page for content changes, then notifies them when the page is change
