Quality traffic not just quantity traffic on websites that work.
Having a website with high SEO ranking and a web analytics application snippets inserted on your website code is one thing, but understanding why your ranking is not converting any sales mean another thing altogether.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Did you know that the 3 search engine Giants Google, Yahoo and MSN came out of nowhere a few years ago to become the most-used search engines on the planet after Altavista's glory in the search arena?. . With these company’s constant tinkering to stay at the top of the game, it can be tricky to keep your site’s position in these 3 search engines at the same time. It has become a constant fight for survival to be on the top. Eventhough Google delivers most of the traffic, we should stay smart to always stay on top in both Yahoo and MSN.
I shall try to post some of my experience with sites that I worked on to stay on the top on Google, MSN and Yahoo.com. Some successful stories and some burn and crashed !! nowadays its not as easy getting ranked highly and quickly on the Search Engines, its not even easy to get a decent Page Rank value quicly...gotta wait 6 months before one pops up......

SEO & Analytics
Allot of traffic from a huge volume traffic keyword/phrases producer may not be the correct solution that web owners should be looking for. It is imperative for online marketers/SEO consultants to understand that the nightmare relating to the traffic acquired is to retain them and making sure that there is less of bounces and exits exists. You see, understanding the patterns of bounces and exits is valuable to a website success. You may ask, whats exits and bounces gotta do with SEO & SEM ?. there answer is, the bounce and exits value may be directly related to the reach method of that traffic group. The thing is, if a mismatch was to occur between the promise given by the reach technique (SEO or SEM) and the capabilities of the website or what the online business has to offer then you will receive alot of exits and bounces, - especially "bounces".

Web Analytics
I am getting the feeling that in several years time most businesses will move to take part in an e-business venture and at that time, having a website will be crucial to the business, a clean and useful website that is. The internet rush has resulted in websites being created too fast and without careful planning. I figure people are learning their lessons the hardway, so did I. Because too often, the way I see it is, if we build a website, we must have a solid reason for doing so. Once the website is operational, it is crucial to understand how well it works, this is analytics (something I love about the web - it's measurable). Building, operating and maintaining a website, requires money and like other investments we make, it should provide a tangible invenstments return. One thing ive learnt from my experiences working is that we (or organizations) should not build websites with the aim of increasing hits, page views, or unique sessions. Rather, the websites should focus on serving customers, and most importantly getting some sort of return from it (like money !!!). In my website I shall also post some things I learnt about web analytics and what i found to be the metrics to measure website performance. This is related to my last consulting work with the webanalytics applications such as Omniture, Webtrends and websidestory. More on this inside my pages!!.... more | Or here

Affiliate Marketing
Being an affiliate advertiser to publishers who are listed in the Kolimbo (kowabunga.com)affiliate network or Comission Junction (CJ.com) of affiliates is a very profitable thing. If you have your own product to sell you too could also profit out of having an afiliate application,i.e.free branding, and it is targetted marketing - cause it lets you reach online customers in the places they are most likely to be spending time, and they are cost effective compared to other marketing techniques. Please see below a table of techniques compared, based on Forrester Research (Forrester.com). The effectiveness ratings represents average scores based on a scale of 1(poor) to 5(great). Forrester Research Indicates that the least effective form of marketing is the banner advertisement - the most popular one used today.

Search Engine Marketing
Have you ever wondered what kind of income Google and Yahoo is receiving just from CPA alone?. This is what I heard on the CNN channels on TV relating to Pay per click online marketing. This is interesting -- From when it started in 1990 to 2005 the paid search industry jumped from a low million to $4 billion big ones in revenue, and they say it would reach up to $23 million by 2010. You may ask, why the huge growth ?. Well, if you do the math, doing text based advertisements, (like e.g.adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing) againts the queries of those hundreds of million (up to more than a billion searches) would result in an extremenly succesful marketing leads generation and brand awareness.. wouldn't it ?

Actually, what they mentioned was something like this; Google's and Yahoo's, price per click averages 50 cents in early 2005. And just considering Google and Yahoo alone, there are more than 2 billion searches each month. 14% of that, which is around 280 million generates a pay per click income. So, multiply that by 50 cents and you get ..hmm a really big figure ....$140 million in revenue ..each month to split just between Google and Yahoo. And thats just on their own domain names, i start to wonder , what about their other sites, altavista, overture (Yahoo own) sites ?

All those clicks could really add up to a billion dollar in revenue ?.. more related topic on my blog and articles

Client Testimonial

An important factor in having a successful online store is placement of one¹s ranking on the Search Engines. I have unsuccessfully tried pay-per-click and spent late evenings searching for link exchanges. These two conventional methods got me very little success and cost me time and money.

The best investment I have made to my online marketing plan was to hire Krishp.com In less than 3 months krishp.com SEO management had my site moved from a ranked position of probably page 5,000 to page 2 in google, yahoo and msn. In addition, SEO krishp.com offers an analytic funnel created by the owner, which provides a wealth of information about the navigation of the potential customer as they travel or not travel through your site. This additional information and the assistance of this SEO management to explain and suggest solution have added to my success. I am a USA customer and I highly recommend this choice. The results are real, timely and lasting. Stephen Hadley, Owner www.generousfashions.com

Why do people hate pop ups -- this is a statement of hate.

"You people should be ashamed of yourself!, I did not ask to have three pop-ups come accross my screen when I visited you. I do not visit 'single' sites, and I don't want to add four inches to my penis. As a matter of fact, I dont use the services on my popup screen. I think its disgusting that you money- hungry bastards have infrigned on my computer for your own selfish gain. " more on this
