Why Business Blogger have low Traffic and Terrible Conversion Rates?

by Kamafairul Kamarudin

Hi, Guys. Before this we have been discuss about how to increase Traffic and Conversion Rates from post title How to maximize your Business Blog profit. Now we talk about the opposite factor that's why we having low traffic and terrible conversion rates.

First Banner ads!

Why does this happen?

Banners are cheesy and hurt your credibility. Because visitors simply arrive feeling "pitched" rather than informed. So they arrive at your Business Blog in a resisting mindset, rather than with an open, ready-to-buy attitude. Remember that example where you sent 100 visitors per day to a merchant and 1% bought? If you rely on flipping up a lot of banners, it will be more like 10 visitors per day and not one buys!

Want to make clear here, it is not an advertisement space that the problem here. Its tell you to reduce as many as you can, the graphic (banner ads) at your Blog.

If you simply must use banners, save them for the products that you don't feel absolutely great about recommending. That way, you don't hurt your credibility after all, it's "only advertising."

Save your "in context" text links for super affiliate companies and your own products that deliver true value to your readers.

Here some tips, If you really want to have banner ads in your Business Blog, why not sell the Banner Advertising Space to your readers. Just to let you know selling ad space on website is one of the most profitable businesses models you can find online Wright now.

However what you would want to avoid doing, is not to put too much ads on your blog when you just started! How much is too much? Well just do a simple test with 5 of your friends online and ask them for comments and you would know if you have implemented too much ads. As a rule of thumb, try not to make your website filled with ads but focus more on value content for your readers.

After banner advertising, it's the most common error. And it's an even bigger shame because this involves a lot of work... misplaced work. I mean, if you're going to fail, the best thing would be not to spend much time at it, right?

Here it is... SELLING instead of PRE SELLING.

Being a great Business Blogger is NOT about selling... It's about pre selling through information content.

Your Goal-of-the-DAY here is to understand, understand deeply, the concepts outlined here, culminating with the concept of PRE SELLING to maximize Conversion Rates about some information. It's the foundation of building income through information content with Business Blog.

Your success with anything you do in the world of Business Blogging flows from it. Internalize it and act upon it...... and you will succeed.

Blogging Reality.

"Nothing happens by accident in the world of computers, the Net, and customer response. There is always a reason for what happens, good or bad, and that reason is YOU."

So, How?

Not by working harder, but by simply channeling their motivation in a better direction.

Lets say that my Business Blog are SELLING (with sales copy) when they should be PRE SELLING (with great, and related, Information content that is of value to the reader).

There's really not much point in straight selling off your site - that's what your B-Blog is for. Picture this...

A visitor arrives at my Business Blog that is really just one, big sales site. Yes, I Am very honest to tell about the great product and all the words are sincere, But put yourself in these visitors' shoes for a moment. They don't see inspiring, editorial information content -- they see a sales effort.

But they were searching for content!

"CONTENT!" I said. (Sorry for yelling.)

People resist sales efforts, so your click-through actually goes down. And if they do click, what do they see when they arrive at your affiliate site or your product Web site. More sales effort. And, in some cases, many of the words on the affiliate site are similar to the words that they've just read.

Result? Poor Conversion Rate.

If your Business Blog is basically a "bunch of sales letters," you have not yet built your

credibility and likeability with your visitor. Your visitor ends up feeling "pitched." And then feels double-pitched if they clicks through to your affiliate or products site...

Conclusion?

Don't SELL! Instead, warm your visitor up for your affiliate or products by pre selling them with great content of information that they value and respect. They'll click-through with pleasure, arriving at your affiliate or products sites in an open-to-buy mindset.

It's your PRE SELL effort by your information and content that will boost your buyer's traffic to your affiliate/products site and will increase Conversion Rate at your Business Blog. Which in turn maximizes your income.

Why Most Blogger Fails: Myth and Facts

by azrizam mansor

Every blogger that start a blog want to be a professional blogger, fact that write a blog is a simple manner are wrong. Why most blog writer fails before the journey ends, why the new blogger fails to achieved their target. Below some of the reason why many blogger fails.

1 - Motivated By Money.

Myth: I can make huge income and money with blog, just start writing anything and put some ads. Just wait for the money pour in.

Fact: If motivated by money, go ahead for 6 month and yet just make a dollar a days with your ads network. The chance is sure you will give up before your blog achieved 10 months old.

Solution: Just blogging like usual, enjoying what you are doing now, put a passion along side without get motivated by money, place just a minimal ads not a big problem. The money will slowly generate by it self after that.

2 - Maintaining Too Many Blog.

Myth: If the A blogger can make $10k a month with just 1 blog maybe I can make even bigger income than that if I write a 5 different blogs. Let's say with 5 blogs maybe I can make $20k a month.

Facts: The blogger that make $10K a month know what his doing and achieve it with his passion on that blog. If you concentrate to maintain 5 blogs without know what you are doing - you are on suicide way. Jumping to many blogs without potential will wasted your time, money for hosting and your energy that you put on your first blog.

Solution: Just concentrate maintaining just 1 niche blog that you had a passion on, focus on what you are doing now without thinking to maintain other niche blog. Give some time to that blog to succeed.

3 - Write Just For You Not The Readers. Myth: I just want to write about my personal life and there is no readers want to read my life story.

Facts: Blogger that write for himself usually with neglected all the grammar, all the basic rules of blogging, and what other readers need. They just write what ever they want without show a care to other readers. When other post a comment you don't reply it, when other contact you just ignore it. Here you're wrong because even you write about your life other still want to read it, just communicate with other and make the story interesting. There are blogger that write about personal life succeed.

Solution: Communicate with the readers even you write about your personal life. Remember this; blogging is two ways process, if you put something valuable in your post sure other will stick to your blog.

4 - Write for Google not for Readers.

Myth: I must write a niche blog just for Google since Google will drive the traffics and reader to me. The readers will come if they reach my pages in Google.

Facts: If you write for Google, you're totally wrong and put the blog in a graveyard. When writing you put all the effort to make the post get ranked higher in Search Engine, all the linkbait you use, all the problogger technique you try out but still no readers. Why this happen? Ask yourself. Actually Google follow readers, if your post write for readers, even your blog look sucks, and its still can attract readers.

Solution: Successful blogger must write for the readers because high traffics blog know what the readers want. Why the readers visit the blog and what they want is your main target. Must put the value and good content in the post first, after that you can make it more with Google or other search engine optimization.

5 - Not Socialized

Myth: Waste time to join the socialized community like MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog and other social community. If I write a good content there is no need to join such community.

Facts: If you don't join these social communities likely you're the only person will read your own post. Social community directories actually will expose your blog to other blogger. If you write a good post, luckily the other tends to linkback to your blog.

Solution: Actively join the discussion, add other to your community and give some visit to other blog in the community. Give your comments in other blog. That the way other will notice you.

6 - Ignore Blog Update.

Myth: Just write 10 article pillar articles that can increase my traffic and readers in a month, after that I don't have to update my blog since I already post a great pillar article.

Facts: What makes blog and traditional website different is the blog ability to update the content often. That is why blog get more traffic exposure than traditional website. If you not updated your blog often, all the reader and subscriber that stick to you will go away. Why should they give a visit to your blog since there is no updated, just a crap of all post.

Solution: Just publish a post a day that enough because your readers know that you're still maintain that blog with nice post. Just write a 200 words post likely make your blog alive.

Facts: Blog about make money online is the hardest topics a new blogger choose. If you're new starter blogger, don't write about make money online unless you can proved you're already make the big cash online. Prove is what hard to give to new blogger.

Solution: Don't blog about make money online if you only blog for 3 month. If you start blog about make money online then you're likely 90% to fails.

8 - Being Totally Copycat.

Myth: It's easy to write a blog, just copy other blog article and post it in my blog.

Facts: Try to 100% copy other content and publish it in your post. Just wait the time when the real author notices your act and make a report against you. Your post also will be ignore by Google.

Solution: You can copy other idea or content; BUT, please elaborated with your own words and give your own comments to make it more uniquely. Don't just copy and paste other content and material - do it yourself.

Myth: Comments is only a comment, let it be there - just ignore it.

Facts: Blog is two ways communication that involved the reader and the writer. That what make blog unique where readers can leave comments to express feelings. Better ways is to reply and answer the comments. Its enough to say "thanks you".

Getting Traffic to your New Website

by David O Connell

So you've just finished creating your new website. It looks good and you are ready for the visitors, you can't wait for the traffic to come. So how are you going to get traffic to your new site? You will now need to promote your new site. Here are a few things you could start with:

1. Submit your site to the Search Engines. If you want people to find your site then you should start by submitting your site to the biggest 3 search engines, which are Google Yahoo and MSN. They will find your site eventually without submitting to them but why wait. You should also submit your site to all the other lesser-known search engines because some people don't or can't use the big 3. Can be time consuming to submit your site to most of them so Search Engine Submission Software is recommended for this.

2. Submit your site to Directories. People go here to find other websites. Provides good incoming links when your site is listed on directories, which can over time increase your website's popularity and SE rankings. There are so many directories that this can also be time consuming.

3. Submit your site to Classifieds. Was once considered to be an excellent way to get traffic to your site but not as effective today, however, it still could be worth your while submitting your site to the classified sites using Search Engine Submission Software because most of those sites are considered high traffic sites.

The above three methods are great ways to promote your site and start getting traffic but they can be very time consuming if you decide to submit your site manually to the above, however, there is a much faster and incredibly simpler way to get your site on over 700,000 Search Engines, Directories, Classifieds, Online Malls and Link pages by using Search Engine Submission Software like this http://www.easy.top5submitters.com

You could also consider other ways of getting visitors to your site like

1. Article Distribution - Writing articles about what can be found on your site and distributing them to article directories with a link to your site included in every article you write.

2. Participate in Forums that are related to your sites content - Post your opinion or expertise on the subject matter, and over time you'll be allowed add a link to your site with every post you make.

3. Add lots of related links to your site - This is reciprocal linking where someone adds your link to their site while you agree to add their link to your site - make sure the sites you link to are related to your site in some way, this will improve your search engine ranking for more traffic, eg. If you have a weight loss site you should link to other weight loss related sites like health, fitness, diet, exercise.

4. Use Pay Per Click (PPC) - Brings in quality traffic but it can get costly if you don't know what you're doing. Every time someone visits your site it will cost you a pre-determined amount usually a few cents. I recommend you learn all about this method before you dive in, however, you can at least set your limit on how much you are willing to spend on this.

5.Traffic Exchanges - This is where you view other people's sites to gain credits that will allow them to view your site. Most of the people viewing your site will have no interest in your site, they are only clicking on your site to gain credits. Worth a try because it's free to join.

6. Advertise in Ezines - This can be an excellent way to advertise your website. Only use ezines that are related to your site and have a large circulation. Allow your site ad a few months of advertising to get the best value.

7. Hit Boosters - Instant traffic to your site using software technology. Some can be quite useless but others can bring in truly remarkable results for your site. Here's a good one http://www.traffic.top5submitters.com

There are many more traffic gaining techniques. The above are 10 good ways that will get traffic to your site and a couple of solutions to your site promotion ventures. My advice is to try the above first and then when you are familiar with them you can look for other methods.

You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I'm about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for.

If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don't have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there's a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that a content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality. Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Fast Traffic Building: 3 Steps for Traffic Building

by G Allan Roberts

All webmasters have one common goal; to build enormous and steady traffic to their sites so they can earn profit by either selling their products or services or earning by selling ad spaces on their sites. Building traffic to your website is one of the most important elements in order for your website to get the exposure it needs. Thus, it is crucial for you to know the 3 steps for traffic building:

1. SEO. Optimize your website so your potential clients can easily find you when they use search engines. Pull up your ranking by using relevant keywords on your domain name and your content. In addition, you must also know how to sprinkle keywords on your page titles and page descriptions. It would also help if you can create a site map to list the pages that you would like to be indexed by search engines. By doing these, you can be assured that your website will appear higher on the search result page.

2. Social bookmarking sites. If you would like to gain steady traffic for your website, you should give social bookmarking sites a try. In this method, online users store your websites on their favorites making it easier for them to access it over and over again. This technique also allows your users to share your website to other members of the social bookmarking site that can give your website the exposure it needs.

3. Forum Posting. Forums are great way to drive targeted traffic to your site. All you need to do is join forums that discuss your interest and expertise. By posting your thoughts, tips, and advices, you do not only show your expertise to your future clients but you also generate one way links to your website by leaving its URL on each of your post.
