Creative Online Marketing, Link Building and Ecommerce

Now that you have finally unleashed your website upon the Internet, it is necessary to make sure that all the potential customers out there get to know about your website, your products, and every single aspect of what you have to offer to them. That is the reason why your job is to make sure that the client comes to your website, and remains to browse upon it. That can only be done by making sure that the interest of the client is caught and held. If he happens to be the average Internet browser, his interest quotient is going to be just for a couple of seconds before he takes upon the mouse and navigates away from your web page. So here are some handy tips which can make sure that your client comes back to your webpage again and again.

Add blogging facilities and share your story
 
If your client thinks that his opinion about any single product is going to be read and appreciated, he is going to look at the products offered by your company. That is the reason why Amazon.com is so popular. A visitor can leave his feedback upon the product he has just bought, positive negative or neutral. Blogging can be made extremely easy just by using WordPress.org, so add these facilities to your website immediately. Sharing stories is also advisable.
 
Offer a weekly poll

People love to have their opinions heard. So a poll in the shape of Star rating is the easiest way in which you can gain their attention, and make them give you an unbiased opinion about the product. Just allocating some stars to the products on your website is going to make your clients feel valued. The crucial part is to change the poll regularly to keep visitors coming back!
 
Surveys

Everybody out there wants to give his opinion about each and everything and that is the reason why marketing surveys are getting to be extremely popular. Start your own survey by writing down some questions such as for IDX Search. Make it simple and make it easy. And remember to send the survey taker an automated Thank you letter after the survey has been completed. Make sure that the chosen topics are interesting, and can be discussed sensibly.
 
Contests and competitions

One of the most successful marketing strategies out there is to ask your visitors to look through your website, and then award the three users in a fanfare, upon your website. They can get anything free, like your services, a free membership, or any other sort of free goodies.  
 
Add charts/graphs and rankings

Relevant Rankings, tables, graphs and charts make your website look professional.
 
Ask them to sign your guestbook

So many websites out there do not have guest books. You can get free guest book software at http://www.a-free-guestbook.com/
 
Rate top posts

The most popular posts can be rated and the writer awarded something useful to him. This is going to increase the traffic to your site, through word of mouth.
 
Widgets

Useful widgets upon your website are always a good idea. You can get them at MyBloglog.Com. There are several other widgets. Search for “website widgets on Google” or make your own at http://www.widgetbox.com/
 
Newsletters and RSS feeds

Ask your visitors to sign up for your newsletters and regular RSS feeds, to get the latest information about your company and products.
 
Adding copy paste code to your web pages

This is an effective way to get other pages to link to your site and vice versa. You might think this is SO 1990’s but trust me – it does remind people to link to you. I’ve seen a significant jump in inbound links on some key “viral pages” as a result of just this strategy. Of course, if your content is terrible, no amount of code will help.

 
Hopefully, these tips are going to make your website more popular and interactive.
