However, before heading out on your own may we make just one suggestion above all others. Test, Test and when you are all done, Test again!

Test Your Marketing Campaign

Why is testing so important you may ask? Because marketing is so expensive! Let's face it, not everyone has an unlimited marketing budget. In fact I don't know of anyone who does. That is why it is so important that you know exactly which marketing campaign actually produces good results (and which ones do not) before they break your marketing budget.

Save Money, Test on the Net!

Unlike any other marketing medium in existence, the Internet affords you the ability to test your marketing endeavors on a very small scale and very inexpensively before you launch them using a more expensive advertising medium like print, radio or broadcast. Why? Instant feedback! You can post your ad, banner, PPC listing or even change your copy and know in days (or even hours) how it will perform. You can test almost anything like ad copy, positioning, demographic or channel without spending a fortune. Once you have refined your campaign then and only then should you consider mass producing it. Take a look at the article I have written concerning the art of scientific testing.

Search Engine Optimization

Typically the first order of business for a newly launched web site. Submitting to the search engines. No other marketing effort can provide a bigger bang for the buck!

The second most popular Internet activity for more than 167,000,000 people is conducting research using the various search engines and directories. There are more than 170,000,000 pages indexed by each SE for more than 60,000 web sites. Getting your site listed on a search engine is not difficult, getting it listed in the top 30 positions can be a daunting challenge.

With so many web sites fighting for the top positions one may think it's useless to even try. Consider this, Yahoo averages 30 million queries per day. What can 1 top 30 position do for you. Ask Audionet,  who only markets their web site on the search engines (they do not advertise anywhere else) and are scheduled to break 1 billion in sales this year.

When someone queries a major search engine using a keyword related to your site's products or services, does your page appear in the top 10 matches or is it your competition?  If you're listed, but not within the first 10 to 30 matches, you lose, no matter how many engines you submitted your site to. Ranking near the top on the major search engines is the real key to bringing free, targeted traffic to your Web site.

"You can submit your site for free to the search engines, but getting your site to appear in the first page of search results has become something of a black art. Meta tags, keyword density, and doorway pages are some of the buzzwords that experts in search engine optimization glibly toss about. And doing it wrong can get your site banned from a search engine.

Hardly a day goes by that I don't speak with at least one site owner who has had difficulty ranking well in the search engines. More often than not it is because some web site developer has not taken the time cover the basics. Unique page titles, descriptions and integrated keywords are still used by most search engines today. They may not play the all important role they once did but as secret as search engine algorithms are, how would you know for certain. Are you really willing to take the chance?

Many times the developer will overlook the most basic issues because they know that the client is not informed. Take a moment and read our article concerning "Search Engine Optimization" and make the decision for yourself.
