Just Ask! Survey Software Is Important!

A brilliant way to survey your visitors in order to turn around to sell them exactly what they asked for is accomplished with Alex Mandossian’s Ask Database.

Serious marketers and authority site owners survey their visitors to find out what they like about their sites, what they dislike, and what products and services they’d appreciate in the future.

Using a system to easily collect and compile visitor survey data, you can easily determine the direction your business should be going in based upon exactly what your visitors tell you they want.

No more assuming what the market needs! When you stop assuming what they need and ASK them what they really need, you are now in another level of business.

You have essentially graduated from weekend warrior to a real online business attitude.

I have a free report on surveying especially with my favorite program, Alex Mandossian’s Ask Database.

This free report is 72 pages of the how and why to survey and the AMAZING things you can do with survey to take your business to new heights.

Simply put, if you are not in direct touch with your market, you aren’t in business at all.

I can put you in touch with your customers by giving you this free report.

But only if you put this task on your plate and READ it! I promise you won’t know how you survived this long online without it.

Update on the Success System Seminar

You’ll need to act quickly to take advantage of this.

If you’re wanting to build a rock-solid internet business with all the pieces of the puzzle put in place, then you’ll want to know about the coaching program a friend of mine has put together.

It’s been going on for a few years now, and it’s the most comprehensive program I’ve seen — all the parts are there, laid out in a logical, step by step order for you to follow.

And it’s not just a one shot deal, there’s also monthly telesessions, plus two conferences a year with featured speakers who actually hold educational workshops rather than sales pitches.

The amazing thing is everybody who comes to the conferences has to already have studied the massive training materials that he’s produced before they are even allowed to come - it makes for a very high quality conference and JV networking event that way.

The man that put this all together is kind of a low-key guy, yet highly respected world-wide. He just keeps pumping out great business strategies, marketing ideas and software products, and loves to teach others how to succeed too.

There’s a reason Mark Hendricks is one of the favorite speakers, coaches, and mentors in the internet marketing community.  I am not sure there is a single person on the web who doesn’t find Mark to be one of the rare, genuine, authentic pros online today.

Can what he teaches take you to the top?  That’s a guarantee I make personally!

ORION Proves Content Rules The Day

ORION, the latest acquisition for Google, is a search algorithm of a different color.

And it proves that content sites are going to be one of the most preferred type of site on the web in Google’s search.

If not the most preferred, they will certainly be getting the most TRAFFIC of any other kind of site.

Here’s Why…

When asked what ORION does, the creator of the algorithm, Ori Allon, said:

“The results to the query are displayed immediately in the form of expanded text extracts, giving you the relevant information without having to go to the Web site–although you still have that option if you wish.”

So, if people can see more of your site ON Google before making a decision to visit, it stands to reason your content had better be the best it can be if you want their click.

I can’t wait to see what kind of fuss is made from website owners over this. Copyright, “you can’t frame that much of our content on your site” … it should be very interesting.

The least cost alternative to getting caught up in the mess is to deliver killer content people cannot resist reading more about ON YOUR SITE and not Google.

Frankly, I am dying to see how this works when Google puts it into action. Search needs to change on the web and anything is better than staying the course.

If you build sites properly, you have nothing to worry about.

If you are one of the many thousands of people who have bought into many of the scam-spam-schemes-of-the-day for building sites that “trick” Google, you are totally screwed.

And I don’t feel sorry for you.

You see, Google is very smart. They are going to let their users call the shots and I bet anything they will watch closely to see if people start ignoring certain top ranking sites once they see what they are about to visit.

I can’t WAIT to see what they do with the millions of sites that start getting little to no traffic because of the “peek” feature Orion will give Google’s users.

If I were Google, I’d delist those non-performers and clean up my engine.

I can’t help but think that is what is coming.

So if you were thinking about building a content-less direct sales page or squeeze page affiliate site, you’d better think again.

Visitors from Google are going to increasingly be earned by having apparent and actual good content.

Is that not the way the web should be?

More information on this topic can be found at Site Reference where Dave Davies goes much deeper into ORION, Google, and the new face of search.

XsitePro: Site Building Excellence

If you are into static sites and building with a system that handles a lot of the work so you don’t have to be a programmer just to put up a simple site, there isn’t another builder I would recommend higher than XSitePro.

The thing is better than software that Fortune 500 sites put out and the quality, ease of use, and strict attention to every last detail runs throughout the system.

Most Websites Don’t Deserve Traffic!

Have you noticed how entitled some people seem to feel about getting targeted, interested visitors to their sites?

And have you seen some of the sites they feel should be honored with the precious time, clicks, and purchases from visitors?

John Reese said it all when he said most sites on the web are junk. (I paraphrase, but that was the gist.)

It is so true there is not a single person on the web that would disagree.

Yet every website owner truly seems to believe their site is worthy of top search engine positions and hundreds of links.

The vast majority of website owners cannot fathom that their lack of traffic could possibly stem from the site they built and the business model they adopted!

I joke with my clients that most sites would get more traffic if they were parked at their registrar with some Adsense ads on them.

What then is the problem?

People feel they can come on the web, slap up a site, and begin reaping the same rewards that hard working, dues paying professional site publishers enjoy. And that has never, nor will ever, happen on the web.

The internet is a bastion of opportunity, it’s true. Once you get to a point in your business where you can understand how the web works and what motivates search engines and visitors in any market, it’s like there are hundred dollar bills laying a foot deep all around you for as far as you can see.

Until then, “someone with a website” is simply nothing. There are billions of web pages on the internet. There are only 10 top 10 positions in any given search engine.

In order to earn a spot on a high-traffic web site, whether a search engine or a link partner, people seriously have to raise the bar on what is considered a solid content site.

If your site looks, performs, and informs nothing like the sites you have in your own bookmark file, how can you expect anyone to put your site in theirs?

Authority sites stand out like a bucket of fried chicken on a fat farm.

If you don’t have the tools and know-how to create an authority site that looks, feels, and acts like sites that have sold for millions in the recent past, you still have options.

None of which include you building it yourself with FrontPage and a $3.99 a month hosting account.

Step 1: Become a student of the web, not just someone who wants to make money and quit their job. You will neither make enough money or be able to quit your job in NEARLY the timeframe you’d like, so get over it and be nice to your boss for awhile longer.

Learn what makes the web and the particular markets you are interested in “tick.”

Think for yourself and don’t blindly follow the advice in ebooks written by anonymous 13 year-old mouth-breathers who have absolutely no right to advise anyone on building and marketing high value sites.

Step 2: Find the right people to follow. Usually they own some extremely high-value property on the web and can prove their methods work.

Once you find the right people to help you (because you are definitely not going to pull this off on your own before you have grand kids) unsubscribe from every “newsletter” you are subscribed to that doesn’t fit what your personal expert is telling you and put on your blinders.

Find a plan. Follow that plan to the end. And never EVER let yourself get side-tracked by gimmicks, schemes, and guys or gals trying to sell you on a “better plan.”

Step 3: Read steps 1 and 2 again and consider them your new religion.

Jaded folks will say that I want them to ignore everyone else and just buy from me or the people I tell them to buy from.

Only I know for sure that it would be a damn good start given that what I teach works.

Really the biggest reason I say put on blinders and get to work is that the reason people fail to make their dreams come to fruition on the web is distraction.

The information on how to have a thriving internet business isn’t hidden. In fact, there’s way too much of it. And most of it is wrong for you.

Good advice stands out like that bucket of fried chicken on a fat farm does. You can tell, if you stay objective, who is bullshitting you and who might just be on their game.

The first thing that happens to newbies when they express interest in having a thriving online business is that the vultures descend.

It is much like running away to Hollywood, getting off the bus, and having the drug dealers, sex merchants, and other undesirables mob you hoping to take you into their dark underworld, pick your bones clean, and discard you in an alley.

And you thought Tom Cruise was going to escort you to your first sure-thing audition for a feature film?

That’s exactly the same thing as expecting life on the web to be easy, no sweat, a walk in the park way to start a valuable high-dollar business.

The key is to be dead serious, willing to sacrifice, and willing to search for the truth about internet business, content site building, and publishing without settling for nickel and dime schemes that feed on newbies on the way.

Matt Callen Free Site Builder: HyperVRE?

Matt Callen, brother of Brad Callen has put out a new, and amazingly FREE, site builder out that puts most of the systems previous to it to shame.

And most of the previous site builders for Adsense sites cost A LOT of money to boot!

The system is called HyperVRE and was created by the brother of Brad Callen who brought us SEOElite and a free search engine optimization guide called “SEO Made Easy.”

It appears that Matt is giving his brother a run for his money because HyperVRE is no slouch when it comes to programming.

Most site builders are clunky and hard to use.

This one is dead easy and does about everything you’d want to do to build rich, dynamic content sites using all kinds of monetization strategies.

Again, it is hard to believe this is a free application. You get more bang with the paid version, but the free version is still more powerful than most any other paid software of its kind!

The bottom line is you can take all your parked domains and put them up with some great content and a great looking layout with Matt Callen’s HyperVRE and start making your moth-balled domains earn their keep!

Will HyperVRE be the solution for making total authority sites? Not without some tweaking and know-how on your part.

But Matt never said that’s what HyperVRE was for.

I think it is the perfect solution for total makeovers of sites that aren’t performing, have old spammy software running them that needs replacing, or parked domains that aren’t making any money just sitting there.

The price is right, so go check it out even if you’re skeptical.
