Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could help clear a few things up about internet marketing to maybe make things a bit clearer for some of my new friends around WA here. I am always getting questions that are a result of the person not understanding the big picture.
Sure we all understand that our logo is like our sign but what some people I think have trouble connecting with is the over all flow of a website. Yesterday's Holiday Hot Seat really taught me a lot about how people might find the front page of my website.
For those of you who didn't catch the Wabinar Jay reviewed I think it was 4 websites, mine was among them. What Jay told me was that I needed to really focus on my main keyword in the main page of the website.
No I don't mean I needed to use the keyword more I mean I needed to make the page reflect the keyword so that it made more sense to people when they land on the page. In other words relevance is very important.
I was so focused on bringing people to my site via my blog that I really didn't focus enough on the main page, It really struck me when he said that people visiting that page had already decided to buy they were there because they wanted help deciding which brand to buy.
I mean it was so obvious but that's why we should always have someone else look at our work. When you are to close to a project you don't always see the big picture. I have had people ask me time and time again to review their websites and I always go over it objectively, but for some reason it seems to be impossible to look at your own site with that same objectivity.
Ask your friends or people in WA to review your site on a regular basis especially if your new to all of this. The insights you gain from people are invaluable. I have started making changes to my main page and I have to admit it's already much better than it was before and I have more changes I plan to make.
If you need someone to have a look at your site you can always ask me in the comments below. I will be happy to have a look at see what suggestions I can make for you. I only ask that you complete the Online Entrepreneur Certification - Getting Started (Level 1) course before asking for a review you should make sure there is something there to review first.
Understanding the big picture of how your site and marking should look and flow is essential to becoming successful and the more you understand it the better results you can expect.
