A Great Website is not enough!!

By Gary van Heerden, 18.02.11 | Comments

It's great to have a website, in fact it's becoming more and more essential for a business to have a website presence, or you are bound to be left behind. The" Yellow Pages" form of advertising is dying, people now prefer to search the internet for products and services they require as they get more than just a name and number, they get a full review of the company and the service it provides.


BUT!, you can have a great looking website and a great product, but if nobody finds your site, you may as well not even have one. The "trick" is to attract traffic.


Traffic = customers, customers = sales, sales = profit.


There 2  things (amongst others) that are vitally important to your website:

SEO - (Search engine optimization) Fine tuning your site to receive traffic by using correctly placed keywords and tags. Your aim is to rank high on Google (page 1) so that when people search for the related keywords, your site is found. This will get you good targeted traffic.

An Auto responder - This is something that very few companies are doing, but it is HUGE. An auto responder will allow you to email your clients with specials, new products, news etc. The key is that you build relationships with your clients, make them feel special. Relationship building is a sure way of keeping your existing clients and making sure they come back to buy your product time and time again.

Doing these two simple things will give you a huge advantage over your competitors.
