7. MARKETING: Websites fail because they are not marketed appropriately. If you want your website business to succeed, you must promote it so it will have traffic.
The major reason why people do not promote their websites is because of a lack of knowledge of the best methods to use to attract the visitor traffic they need.
There are web site designers who know nothing about marketing and there are marketers who know nothing about web design.
The Internet is a unique medium; you need to know about the techniques of marketing, conversion, and usability issues and how they affect your bottom line.
Then you must evaluate and use the methods that are best suited to work on the Internet, not for television or radio.
In conclusion, many website promotions are built around an advertising model that doesn’t work on the Internet. In this electronic environment, response is what counts on the Internet because you are not face to face with your buyer.
Without developing effective methods to communicate your message and generate that response, the marketing efforts for your website will fail.
You can use advertising tools such as local search engine listings, article marketing, E-zine advertising, blogs, pay-per-click advertising and forums to promote your site and increase search engine traffic.
No matter which methods you use, the common goal is that you must motivate people to take action and drive them to the monetizing areas of your website.
