How to Spam Proof your Email Marketing

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

One of the challenges of email marketing is getting the email actually delivered. There are several ways that email can end up as Spam, and steering clear of these causes will give your email marketing efforts a much greater likelihood of success.

How to Prevent Emails from Landing in Spam Folders

First, make sure that any small business marketing email is sent only to people that you already have an established relationship with, or those who have requested to be sent your communication. People you already have a relationship with can be considered personal friends or family, or people you have a business relationship with, such as customers, associates, and similar individuals. If you don’t know the recipient personally, it is best to have people “opt in” to receive your mailings. Having people subscribe to your mailing list is the best way to do this. Mailing outside of these parameters is likely to result in some recipients reporting your emails as Spam. (more…)

How to Avoid Alienating the Major Search Engines

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Each of the major search engines Google, Yahoo and MSN have quality webmaster guidelines in place to prevent the unfair manipulation of search engine rankings by unscrupulous website owners. These webmaster guidelines change frequently to ‘weed’ out any new deceptive practices and those websites found engaging in these illicit practices are consequently dropped from the search engine rankings of the major search engine they have offended.

What is an IP

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

IP stands for “internet protocol” and references a data protocol that is used for communication across a network. A protocol, then, is a standard that governs the connection of that contact between two points on a network. Protocol also references a set of guidelines or rules that govern the aspects of the communication across the network.

IP, then, is what is known as a network layer protocol and is housed and governed in a data linkage known as Ethernet. Ethernet refers to what are essentially a family of computer properties and technologies used across local area networks or LANs.

Ethernet tends to provide unique global internet protocol addresses or IP addresses to users on the networks. IP is basically the tools of communication and the identity of a particular computer or network’s “global address.” IP is entirely concerned with where the data ends up whereas Ethernet references and is concerned with the actual next device in the next chain of communication.

To use the aforementioned example regarding a child’s telephone, the Ethernet would be concerned with the two cans more than it would be with the string.

The first version of IP to be used worldwide and widely deployed was IPv4. IPv4, as the name would suggest, was the fourth edition of internet protocol and is used on the internet along with IPv6. IPv6 and Ipv4 are actually the only forms of internet protocol to be utilized on the World Wide Web.

IPv4 is what is known as a “best effort delivery” protocol; there are not many service guarantees within IPv4 or any other IP for that matter. In fact, best effort delivery contains a number of notions that do not guarantee a level of quality for service customers or a level of reliability in terms of connectivity to any network.

The best comparison to this philosophy would be the post office. While no resources are left unused in the operation of delivering mail, there is no actualized guarantee as to when you mail will arrive.

IP has a lack of data guarantee, but it can also end up corrupting data, losing connectivity to a network or not granting it at all, doubling up on the arrival of some data connectivity pings to a network, and even losing some of the connection packets in the middle of a process.

It certainly does not seem very reliable. The comparison to IP data connectivity is to the post office. There are no guarantees that the message will arrive in any set period of time because of outside possibilities interfering, but as long as the address is right the mail will eventually make it to the right place.

These issues can be a concern for the newest technologies, including voip conference calls or voip systems.

IP, while seemingly complex, simply provides a set of rules and regulations in the world of technology that enables data the ability to transmit across a given network, going as far as to include voice over ip services.

This happens because the computers in the network have IP addresses and can function within the network’s regulations. IP governs these addresses and the involvement of the address with the regulations, transferring data around the network.

How A Router Works

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

In the past when you referred to a router you were talking about a tool that was used to design and shape wood. The internet has changed that.

In its simplest form a router is defined as a device or setup that finds the best route between any two networks. A router is the most important part of a computer network in that it helps data get where it is supposed to be. When it is given the choice of where to make it’s delivery one of the tools a router uses to decide where information should go is a configuration table. A configuration table is a collection of information, including:

- Information on which connections lead to particular groups of addresses - Priorities for connections to be used - Rules for handling both routine and special cases of traffic

The internet is really an unbelievable invention. Think about this. You can send an email to someone anywhere in the world and they receive your message in a matter of seconds. You can download a file or surf from web page to web page very easily today. All of this because of routers.

An easy way to understand a router is like this. You send a letter to a friend in Australia. They read it and send it back to you. This might take several days or weeks with snail mail. On the internet routers are the mailman that gets your letter to your friend and then their letter back to you.

Routers are very versatile. For example they allow two computers to receive the internet under one IP address simultaneously. An IP address is what allows your computer to connect to the internet. If you have a network of computers a router will allow them to use the Internet with the same access.

In many households today a cable modem is the router. The internet is accessed through the modem directly into a computer. If you have more than one computer you can purchase a router and connect it to the cable modem. The internet is passed through the router and delivered to the computers either through a wire or more commonly today now through wireless technology.

Wireless routers allow you to connect computers, portable computers, personal desk assistants, and printers without using wiring. Wireless routers are excellent for connecting notebook computers to the Internet and networks.

As you are running more computers on your network you may experience a slight drop in speed, but today many broadband routers are able to deliver the internet without much of a slowdown. You probably will not even notice it.

5 Top Ways To Generate Low Cost Website Traffic

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

There is one hard and fast rule in generating income for your website: A steady flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your site, it hardly bares a chance of generating an income. Many sites have tried and failed in doing so, and these results to the sites demise. It takes money to maintain an income-generating site; it also takes money to make money.

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole caboodle of cash to generate website traffic for your site.

Ever wonder how does big hit sites drive traffic top their site? Most of them are spending tons of money to drive the traffic to their sites, investing in many advertising campaigns and different forms of marketing schemes and gimmickries. This is all worthwhile because, well, they are what they are now, high earning, and big hitting websites.

You don’t have to do this if you don’t really have their resources. There are many ways to generate low cost website traffic without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirt over it.

Here I present to you the Five Top ways to generate low cost website traffic that could help your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a small percentage of successful visitors in to client ratio it still works especially if you get a high number of website traffic.

1. Exchange Links

This is a sure and proven method. Rarely would you see a site where there is no link to another site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange links with one another so that they could produce more public awareness about their sites. You’ll soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from other sites.

A major prerequisite in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche or content as the other site. They should share a common subject so that there is continuity in the providing of service and information to what interests your target traffic.

Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.

2. traffic Exchange

This is like exchanging links but on a different higher level. This may cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but could be made cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can use those credits when viewing others traffic, while you earn credits when someone views yours.

traffic exchange services are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each other’s efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is boosted.

3. Write and Submit Articles

There are many ezines and online encyclopaedias in the Internet, which provides free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. There are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small fee, but to save money; it is wise to do those articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed along with the niche of your site. Write something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines to the subject or niche your site has.

Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your site. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you provide a light, information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your site for more.

4. Make a Newsletter.

This may sound like hard work because of all the articles you may need to use to build a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and sites that are willing to provide free articles as long as they can get their name in on your newsletter. This will also provide free advertising for them as well.

As your newsletter gets pass around, you can widen your public awareness and build an opt-in list that can regularly visit your site.

5. Join Online Communities and Forums

This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your site.

Share your two cents and let them see how knowledgeable you are with the subject. As you build your reputation, you also build the reputation of your site, making it a reputable and honest business that could be frequented and trusted by many people.

What They Don’t Tell You About Website Traffic

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

I have lost count of the number of free and purchased eBooks I have downloaded on the subject of Website traffic, and not one of them so much as touches on the most important problem of all, never mind offer some solutions.

Not so long ago, one self-appointed Internet guru published a free eBook on how he generated over a million dollars in sales on the Internet in one day, forgetting the months of preparation that went into the project beforehand. The sales figure was presumably attained by making 1,000 sales of a $1,000 product; but once again, while his free eBook goes into detail about the process it does not even mention the vital problem.

The real problem with Internet marketing is the one element that leads to the rapid collapse of numerous online business ventures, from the home-based part-time Website run on a shoe-string to the massive million-dollar Websites that come and go overnight. And it can quickly be answered with one simple question:

What is the cost per sale?

In simple terms, you need to know how many visitors to your sales page are required for each confirmed online order you take, and how much those visitors cost. In the million-dollar-day example, the author explains about the vast affiliate network that sent out his sales letter to their massive e-mail lists of potential customers. I do not know the exact figures, but I have read of people who profess to make millions online from an affiliate network of more than 55,000 and each with mailing lists that varied from 10,000 to 60,000 and more!

When you take the lower figure, it could indicate that they despatched some 500 billion e-mails with the sales letter for this $1,000 product, and yet only 1,000 purchased it. Now that is pretty lousy conversion rate of about 1 sale from 500,000 e-mails; although the actual figure will probably be up to 10 times better than that because of duplicate names across the affiliates mailing lists.

That example is fluffy, because we do not know the exact figures, so let us examine a genuine marketing program that I ran for a month last year for a group of garden decking companies.

I spent £1,067 on click advertising, which resulted in 238,827 impressions and 12,016 clicks. The landing page had an offer of a free eBook on garden decking, and it had a 9.03% conversion rate, which provided 1,085 qualified enquiries. They were qualified by admitting they are interested in garden decking and providing full address details as well as pertinent information on the type of deck they would like to own.

The final sales figures were 10.5% or 114 sales of garden decking, with an average sales price of more than £4,000 a time. The cost per sale was £9.36 in advertising, which is good in any language, and so I had a winner and it only took one month and just over £1,000 to test.

Naturally, now that the Website is fully developed and uses the other 120 ways of obtaining visitor traffic, it attracts considerable ‘free’ visitors that make the conversion rates and cost per sale even more attractive. The important point is that with a 1-month test I was able to learn if the project was viable or not without spending a fortune in money and months of painfully wasted time and effort.

You can use this ‘missing ingredient’ to your own advantage when you start your next online business project. Write an excellent 1-page Website to promote your product or service, provide a good reason for visitors to leave their contact details, and a simple and easy form for them to complete. Write a strong advertisement that invites the reader to visit your Website, and do some test marketing.

If the tests do not work out, cancel the project.

You have to do many tests in most instances, because there are so many variables in marketing online; but once you finish your tests make an informed business decision and move on.

When the costs per sale are not viable, then neither is your business project, and you must waste no further time or money.
