[Lead Capture Advice]

- Limit the amount of input they have to do e.g. is your sign up form nice and short?

- Prevent the visitor from getting distracted - remove the navigation

- make sure what you want them to do is clear

- adjust your copy (to make it sound more enticing)

- state what?s in it for them

- try different headlines

- add comments from people who have already signed up

- you could try and use video (video could be a demo of you?re free trial

 

There are loads more you could try but give those a go and be sure to monitor the performance

[Web site promotion]

You could also do a link building campaign. Submit the website to directories. Directories are a great way to get free links pointing back to your website. If for example you owned a web design website do a google search for web design directories.

[Web Stats]

Well, I'm a bit of a numbers geek... Google Analytics seems to provide my traffic information in a clean, attractive way. I'm not sure if GA tracks 404s though, or at least I can't find it, so that's unfortunate. Still, I think I like Mint best out of the three (GA, AWstats, Mint).

 

just did a quick search for the GA 404 reporting: -

 

Reporting on missing or error pages requires a few steps:

1. Add the Google Analytics tracking code to a custom 404 error page

 

2. Modify the tracking code on the 404 page as follows (see the urchinTracker modification in red below):

 

This code sends a virtual pageview of "/404.html?page=[pagename.html?queryparameter]" to your account, where [pagename.html?queryparameters] is the missing page name.

 

3. Look for /404.html in your Top Content report. Or to make it easier open the Dynamic Content report and expand the list for "/404.html."

[I don't want to edit the menu 100 times]

yes agreed, i would only include the code for the menu, i would never include the doc type etc

[I don't want to edit the menu 100 times]

hi guys, i have had the same and my solution is to use <?php include 'includes/menu.html'; ?>

 

what this means is separate your website into individual elements e.g. header, left content, right content, footer etc

 

But the key here is to create separate pages for each section of your website.

 

And then you simply globalize all of your sections.

 

So you only have to edit that one page, hence 'menu.html' and then as this page has been included in all other pages you only have to make the amends to the menu.html page. Apologies if this is not clear please say if this is not clear enough, but this is a great way to avoid editing your menu 100 times!.

[No google presence - at all]

hi guys, i noticed some of you have been having difficulty getting your website indexed. To hurry this process up just send out a ping to your website. A ping is when you alert the search engines that new content is available to be indexed. If any of you need this kind of assistance (to get your website found by google quicker) please let me know and i can write a short review and send out a ping.
