Getting visitors to your site is one issue that many webmasters have to deal with, but one thing that should be considered very important to the life of your business and website is the trick to getting repeat visitors and customers. The main reason that you’ll want returning customers, though, is so that they’ll support you when you present a product or service to them. Think about it: the more that a person visits a website then the more he or she will naturally trust that website. If your website is trusted enough so that your customers keep coming back then they are definitely more likely to buy something from you when presented with the option to do so. Here are some ways to keep your customers coming back to your site:

Forums and Chat Rooms

One thing that many people decide to include with their site is a forum. Having some sort of chat room is a good idea so that the customers will not only have the chance to speak directly with other satisfied visitors of the site, but they will also have a direct line to expressing their opinions about the website or service itself! Thus if you are selling technology products, you might want to start a Computer Forums

Starting Your Blog

Blogs are becoming more popular on the internet these days and there are literally millions of them throughout the World Wide Web. By starting a blog you can enter everything that’s happened with the business or service that you’re creating. From beginning to end, your potential customers and patrons can feel like they have been a part of the

Interesting Surveys

Surveys can be provided on your website either for fun or for informational purposes about your website. Many webmasters feel that the best way to know how to improve his or her site is to get the feedback of their visitors. Surveys and polls are an excellent way for your visitors to have interaction with the website you have!

Add Games and Puzzles

Creating an interesting and fun time for your patrons is also something that you should care about in order to attract repeat customers and individuals. Many people choose to add Funny Videos, games, crossword puzzles, word searches, along with mind-bending puzzles for them to figure out. Time-wasters are an extremely good thing to add to your website every once in a while to provide your customers with something fun for them to do!

New and Fresh Content

If you truly want to have repeat customers to your site then the ultimate thing to do would be to keep adding content your site. By adding daily, fresh content to your site about the things related to your business product or service you’re providing an actual reason for people and visitors to keep coming back! You might want to consider choosing a Web Template that allows you to do this effectively.

All of these things are important to having repeat customers to your website. Whether you are running a business or have created a website for another purpose, adding fresh content, starting blogs, adding games and surveys, along with the rest of the ideas that were discussed here are all great ideas to getting people to come back many times over!

The new 5 second audio ads are still in beta, running at a paltry 200,000 ads a day while they get all the bugs out of the stats reporting software, and await the BPA auditing results.

For those of you who are not yet familiar with the NetAudioAds Pay-Per-Play ad program let me give you a quick description of the program. As a webmaster or website owner you can install a small piece of code on your site, and when a visitor lands on one of your pages with the code, a 5 second long audio ad plays, and the webmaster or owner gets paid. Pretty simple. Once an ad has played, another ad won?t play for at least 3 minutes.

Your visitor doesn?t have to click anything and doesn?t leave the page. If the visitor is still on your site 3 minutes after the 1st ad played, and he refreshes the page or goes to another page that has the code installed he will hear another ad, and you get paid again.

For the publishers it?s a great program, you get paid for every ad played, the code doesn?t take up any real estate on your site, the visitor doesn?t leave your site, and extensive testing has shown that it does not drive visitors away from your site either. Since the program does not cost anything to join you are not risking anything.

On top of all that, you as a publisher can sign up more publishers an then you receive a part of the ad buy for any ads that play on their sites. It goes down one more level. You get additional money for ads played on sites owned by publishers signed up by publisher you signed up. That?s level 3 an that is where it ends. It is a 3

But back to the exciting new Key2Page information. The Key2Page feature is a new type of 5 second audio ad. For the first time in Internet history a new form of action has been born? They call this action a ?key through?. A key through is like a click through, but no mouse is clicked ? A key on the keyboard is pressed instead.

At the end of the 5 second audio ad the visitor is told to press a key, (1, 2, or Z), and it will take the visitor to the advertisers web page. Apparently the advertisers love this new feature. It?s being introduced at 1.2 cents per key-press, (cost to the advertiser) as an introductory price, but it will be priced similar to Adsense ads with bids and all that. The price is expected to rise dramatically once bidding begins, and I suspect the publisher could end up getting over a penny a key-through as they call it.

The webmasters have the ability to control whether the Key2Page ads are used on their websites, and can control it down to individual pages if they wish. They have global control from the back office, a control panel, and they can control individual pages with some variables in the code on the pages. If you don?t want your visitor to leave your page then you opt to not offer Key 2 Page ads, however, from what I?m hearing, the Key 2 Page ads are going to be huge. Since it appears that early on there will be a lot more ad slots available than ads to fill them, it might be wise to allow all ads.

I listened to a Pay-Per-Play NetAudioAds conference call with Larry Host, this evening, and he informed us that the program would probably come out of beta this week, and that ad plays would be ramping up this week. They are going to be contacting registered publishers and notifying them that it?s time to put the code up on their pages if they haven?t already done so, and notifying them if they find any corrupted code etc. Larry mentioned that they felt they would be filling about half of the available ad slots by mid summer. This is getting very interesting. I am anxious to see what else they come up with over at NetAudioAds.

Activity days are planned as events that give you or your guests the chance to take part in activities that they as a rule do not have access to. Activity days are a great idea if you want to get a group of friends together for a birthday celebration or simply if you just want to have a enjoyable day out with friends and family. Multi Activity days are ideal for an motivation event and also an ideal method of team building as the groups get together to try and become the victorious team at the end of the event.

Activities

An enjoyable activity day out is just what the doctor ordered. Whether it’s for a birthday, company day out, stag or hen party there’s nothing like a multi activity day to bond everyone in the party together. Whether you want to go power boating, sailing, clay shooting, quad biking or treasure hunting followed by a spa experience, the multi activity combinations are plentiful. Always enjoyable fun and with so many multi activity day options there’s plenty of options available. You don’t always have to do a full activity day, sometimes a morning or afternoon can provide a great start to a weekend or a break from a meeting.

Team Building

Team building programmes and days can take several forms and sometimes more than one day is required. Teamwork, communication and trust are the essence to many challenges, with members working in pairs or groups. Teams battle it out in some challenges. A group activity combining teamwork, strategy and a sense of adventure increases interest. Outdoor team building is an i

Corporate Days

Corporate activity days can transform a drained team into a enthused workforce. Live life in the fast lane with a demanding and exciting motorised activity, challenge your mind and body with an innovative corporate and team building event, or simply chill out with a country pursuits day. Team building activities can also be added to your activity day to add a problem solving component to the event. Corporate team building makes inspirational team-building activities to test initiative, leadership, practical ability and team-working skills with serious challenges held in a fun and competitive environment. If you are organising a group activity, whether it’s for entertaining corporate clients, a social outing amongst friends, a hen/stag event or a birthday/family celebration there are a range of experiences from adventure days and tank driving to cookery classes, all specially aimed at group bookings with many off the shelf packages to make your life easier.

Corporate activity days are ideal if you want to say thank you to your customers or to your employees. Why not treat them to an activity day and improve your business relationship. If your business is looking to have a corporate activity day then try and choose an event that the majority of participants will like, but will also expand their boundaries as this is the main idea behind activity days.

Well if you talk to your doctor or a nutritionist you would find that they do not follow the same way of thinking. Yes you will find that the ingredients in natural weight loss supplements are natural not all of them have been found to harmless to the human body.

In nature there are items that are good to eat and good for you but you also find in nature supplements that are not good for you. Some of the natural extracts such as ephedrine can be harmful if you are not careful. Mushrooms are also a very good example of good and bad natural foods there are mushrooms that we can eat that are good for us then there are the ones that can be very harmful.

There is not always a sign

Many people are in such a hurry to lose weight for a special occasion or some other reason that they look for these natural weight loss supplements to enhance their weight loss and do not worry about the side effects. They just look at it like if there is a side effect I will stop taking it but what happen if there are no signs and your body is being damaged.

Just look at some of the foods that are becoming common in our everyday diet like hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. These products cause slow damage to our body and many times we do not recognize a problem until someone has

Sell a place for another company to put a text ad on your site. If you have a lot of traffic this can pay hundreds of dollars a week. Also, the reverse, pay to have your link put on another high traffic site.

When purchasing a spot on another site to put your link, it is best to link with a site that has similar content. When purchasing a text link the text that is in the link that points to your site should have the same major keyword as the page that it is pointing to on your site is optimized for. The longer you can keep the link up and paid for the higher the value that is placed upon it by major search engines.

The major search engines don’t want to give sites that paid for their links on other sites the same high ranking as an editorial link because they think this might lead to a site with inferior or irrelevant content. They prefer editorial links where the link is placed there by the webmaster at no charge because the information is relevant and right on target for what their site is talking about.

If the search engine’s crawlbot computer program sees more relevant content from a paid link then should it penalize? As of this writing the traffic that goes to the site that you paid to have your link put on is the single most important factor in you ranking high with major engines, according to crawlbot (SEO) experts. This crawlbot information is for future reference when you go to purchase a link spot, because they are currently working on the crawlbots to make them better able to tell which links are paid or editorial an

The moral of the story would be just consider raw traffic from the site as the major factor in the purchasing decision and if there is a boost in the engines ranking that is just gravy on top. If the crawlbots attack paid links with new programming then there is no gravy but you still get the meat and potatoes from traffic coming in day and night directly from the site.

When purchasing space it is good to check the age of the site by ‘whois’ the older their site is the higher your rank will be by linking to them. Your link placed higher on the page will have a higher ranking benefit than if placed lower or on the bottom of their site.

When buying links see if there are a lot of other out going links on the site, if there are, a search engine may penalize your site (Linkfarming). It is recommended to not buy links from a source where you cannot choose the site(s) your links will be on because of the previous mentioned reason.

Some search engine optimization (SEO) experts warn to not put the same exact keyword in all links if buying multiple links coming in at one time.

When selling link space on your site it is recommended to put rel=’nofollow’ in the link’s attribute. The ‘rel’ attribute tells the forwarding relationship that the other site will have to your site. This way the search engines won’t ‘bleed’ off your ranking to the other site(s) that bought your link space.

There is a great referral program with a link broker where you put a link on your site and receive 50% of profits from the link for the next 3 months and 10% for the next 9 months, for either if someone buys link space or sells space. In other words, any buying and selling activity that goes on after your site got clicked with this link gets credited to you. These links are hundreds and even thousands of dollars on a weekly or monthly basis!

Another option besides the link broker’s referral program is you may want to buy and sell links for your own site through them.

This should give you a basic overview on buying and selling links to bring traffic and income to your site.

Make your own movies using Windows Vista Movie Maker.

Professional movie makers make movies using a specific procedure. You can follow the same procedure when you are going to make your own movie using Windows Vista Movie Maker.

These are the steps you need to follow:

-Import a video, photos and music for your movie in Movie Maker.

-Remove bad parts which you don’t want to use.

-Order the good material which is left.

-Add some cool things like photos, titles, special effects, background music, spoken text and sound effects.

-Publish the finished movie to DVD.

In the left pane of Windows Vista Movie Maker you find all the ‘Tasks’ for the movie you are going to make. Right near the word ‘Tasks’ there are a few buttons where you can switch between ‘Tasks’ and ‘Collections’.

Program options

Before you are going to work on a video you should walk througth the options of Windows Vista Movie Maker. Please do the following:

-Click ‘Tools’ -> ‘Options’ in the menu.

-Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab.

-In the ‘Video Properties’ section you should choose for the option NTSC if you live in the United States. If you live in Europe or in another country that uses PAL, choose PAL.

-Choose as Aspect Ratio 4:3 for a normal television and choose 16:9 for a widescreen television.

-Click ‘Ok’.

Now you have set the standard options and now you can import a video in Windows Vista Movie Maker to work with that video.

You can work with all kinds of video files, music files and image files. The following formats are compatible with Windows Vista Movie Maker:

-Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv and dvr-ms.

-image files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff and .wmf.

-Audi files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .sf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav and .wma.

Collection folders

There is no restriction which says that a movie can consist only material from one video tape, one folder, etc. Every movie you make can contain material from a combination of media files. To keep everything ordered well, you can create collection folders in Windows Vista Movie Maker. A colletion folder is the same as a normal folder.

The collection folders you create in Windows Vista Movie Maker will be displayed in the left pane by clicking the ‘Show or hide collections’ button.

To create a new collection folder, do the following:

-Right click ‘Imported Media’.

-In the menu which appears click ‘New Collection Folder’.

-Typ the name of the folder.

Import material in Windows Vista Movie Maker

If you want to use something in your movie, you have to import a copy from an existing folder on your hard drive into a collection folder in Movie Maker. You can do this by dragging photos and videos from the Photo Gallery to a collection folder.

Import photos and video from Photo Gallery

I can’t say it enough. Content is king! It’s true whether we want to admit it or not. Content is the major building blocks of any website. In fact, most webmasters can’t get enough high quality content to properly “fuel” their websites. Search engine spiders are ever hungry for fresh, relevant content. If you can’t feed them you might as well hang it up. Your rankings will most likely plummet. I have seen it time and time again. A really great site hits the Internet with a bang – continues to do well for a few months because the content is awesome – then goes flat. No new content has been added. Sure, the webmaster was probably totally consumed in getting inbound links to appease Google, but what he also didn’t realize is that Google, Yahoo and MSN are hungry for content. It goes without saying in today’s competitive Internet market that content is still king. We’ve heard it over the years and are living it as recently as today. The need for web content is not going away. It’s growing every second! What are you doing about it?

You may be thinking, “How do I get all of this content? I don’t have the talent to write it, nor do I have the time”. Well, folks that’s where purchased articles need to come into the picture. Yes, I said purchased. Not free articles like this one! The free article databases are great, but do you realize that you are literally sharing content with tens of thousands of other people? Do you realize it’s considered duplicate content by the

Your next question may be, “Where can I purchase these articles?” Well, you can purchase them outright by hiring professional writers and paying a lot of money for each article. For example, I would suggest at least a hundred articles to start a brand new website. That would cost you a whopping $1,000 – $1,500! There is an alternative though. You need to join an article membership site. Article membership sites are the happy medium between sharing content with thousands, or paying writers through the nose for content. A good article membership will offer true niche topics, several hundred articles, have a limited membership (usually 300 or less) and have a great member’s only forum to share ideas.

The spiders are hungry! How are you going to feed them?

Here’s a closely guarded secret that very few marketers are willing to share with the rest of us.

It’s the power of article promotion!

One of the most effective ways you’ll ever discover for bringing more traffic to your website is simply by writing highly targeted, informative, entertaining articles that can be freely distributed throughout the Internet.

But a lot of webmaster just spin their wheels when it comes to writing articles. They don’t really know or have not been taught the best ways to maximize their efforts.

Here are 3 of the biggest mistakes most article writers make:

* The article headline is weak.

* The article reads like an ad.

* The bio or resource box is ineffective

Now there are another bunch of mistakes that article writers make but these are the most rampant errors I find today. I’ll bet you thought the major mistakes included boring articles, didn’t you?

Believe it or not that is not the major reason for failure when it comes to getting your article distributed.

Put yourself in the shoes of an ezine, blog, or site owner for just a moment. If your article headline is weak, wouldn’t you assume the content is just as weak?

I’m sorry to burst your bubble but people do judge a book by its cover. Your headline to an article is your cover.

If you were looking for quality content to use in your ezine or anywhere else, would you want content or a blatant advertisement for the author’s website or products?

You do

In order to be successful in the article promotion business you need to think about your customer.

Who’s your customer?

The article directories and people who will want to distribute your content. End of story.

So write your articles to give them what they want. Great content that they can use to inform, educate, or entertain their site visitors.

Finally, if you’ve done a good job you can’t just quit there. It’s time to tell the world about you. You do that in the bio or resource box. Don’t drop the ball on this one. This is your last chance to make a first impression.

Make it a great one!

Let me ask you a question.

Is there a serious money making opportunity in the ebay affiliate program?

You bet there is. There is now brand new Software that actually enables you to exploit this opportunity in a way that has not previously been possible.

Almost every internet marketer I know has at some point signed up to the eBay affiliate program and almost every single one of them have failed to make any significant money with it.

This software is set to change this?BIG TIME. There is an Embryo Opportunity that lies in eBay waiting to unleash its power on an unsuspecting world.

eBay is a fascinating marketplace for all sorts of reasons but the most important of these is that eBay invites us, through their affiliate program, to take a share of their revenue.

The eBay marketplace contains millions and millions of different products all of which are wanted by millions and millions of different people. If you can connect these people to the products that they want on eBay, the successful eBay branding will convert them for you and you will receive, in return for your service, up to 65% of the commission that they make on each sale and a further $22 if the particular buyer becomes an active eBay member to make that purchase.

What an opportunity given to you on a plate from the biggest auction house in the world!

Your software constantly updates the product inventory of over 28 million to your store. The eBay products cater to just about every imaginable instinct for purchase that currently exists online. Wha

While you have access to this product inventory and can make money promoting it you never have to stock a product yourself, ship an item or deal with a customer.

eBay has invested a lot of time and money in carefully developing and branding a marketplace which is now trusted by millions of people worldwide.

eBay will pay you more than half their revenue plus a high member sign up bonus if you help them sell the products listed in the eBay marketplace by connecting targeted people to them.

Bearing this in mind, why is the eBay affiliate program not talked about like AdSense or ClickBank when it comes to making money online when in reality it offers much more substance than AdSense and much more width than ClickBank?

The primary reason for this is a previous limitation of tools which has meant that the opportunity that lies in eBay?s wide variety of products has not been properly explored.

Before today, if you wanted to market eBay?s products you had to have extensive PHP knowledge so that you could manipulate eBay?s API or you were limited to manually integrating things like affiliate banners and eBay editor kits into your website or blog.

Limited to these tools there was no way for you to truly exploit the opportunity presented by a marketplace that contains 25 million products.

Consequently, eBay?s huge product inventory and their high paying, high converting affiliate program has been largely demoted to a means of filling up space on a website. An eBay banner here and an editor kit there ?there?s no system, no purpose, no aim and consequently no money.

This New Software now changes this and enables you to start taking a piece of eBay?s revenue by connecting people to the products that they want in the eBay marketplace?

For the first time there is software that gives you (regardless of your technical ability) complete control over eBay?s massive and constantly updating product inventory. Giving you the opportunity to add your eBay affiliate link into each one!

Try to imagine yourself as having a huge warehouse behind you which contains 26 million products and which you control through one store setup file. It is this reality that this software grants you.

You choose which of eBay?s products you want to market. For example ?Golf?. You then go to your store setup file, choose the Golf category, press ?Build? and the software will automatically give you a complete eBay affiliate store for that niche. This store will contain every golf related item listed on eBay (in this case over 80,000) which you can then connect people to and earn affiliate commissions from.

You are, however, not limited to one niche or one store. You have a choice of 28,926 different niche stores that you can build, each of which will contain all of the products listed on eBay that are relevant to your chosen target market, be that Diamonds, Guitars, Baby Strollers or Laptops.

Each affiliate store you build will automatically:

1. Include all of the products listed on eBay that are relevant to your chosen target market.

2. Include all of the associated navigation structure which eBay has for your category choice.

3. Update on a live feed from eBay and as such will never need manually updating.

4. Include your eBay affiliate id in every product link.

5. Provide you with hundreds or thousands of keyword packed, content rich pages that the search engines love.

All you have to do is decide which niche market you want to target and press build?

Whether you want to more effectively monetize websites or blogs that you have already developed or target new niche markets with content rich eBay affiliate stores everything is in place for you to start to do so.

Most web publishers understand the value of incoming links. They can help increase traffic and boost PageRank and even search ranking. Figuring out ways to increase those incoming links along with the revenue potential they represent is what stymies many.

The reality is there are a variety of good methods that can be used to generate incoming links. Some methods work a little better than other options, but they can all help increase traffic in their own way.

Reciprocal linking is a popular method used by many publishers to increase incoming links. This practice requires nothing more than putting a site’s link up on yours in exchange for that site’s webmaster doing the same for you. This typically happens as a result of e-mail negotiations or via services that specifically facilitate link exchanges.

Facilitation services come in a variety of different flavors. Some provide fully automated plans that can have your links placed on others’ sites and theirs on yours with little to no work on your part at all. Other companies just connect publishers that are interested in link exchanges. Still others arrange for swaps and then continue to track them after they’ve been placed to ensure they remain. Each service can be beneficial. Which one works the best depends on a publisher’s own needs.

Link swapping services can be helpful, but they don’t always cover all the bases. The thing they miss checking into is where on another site that link happens to be and how visitors can actually find the links. There are ho

Reciprocal linking can have its perks, but its not the only way to go. Publishers have a number of other tools at their disposal for creating solid incoming links. One of the best methods, perhaps, is simply by doing what publishers do best. It all falls on content creation. The better, more interesting, more useful a site’s content happens to be, the more likely that site is to gain incoming links in a more organic, or natural way. The reality is other sites like to link to those in the field that do their jobs well.

Creating content that is high quality and has purpose is the ultimate key to gaining incoming links. It doesn’t matter whether the content is a funny cartoon series, news articles, rants or even reviews, if it’s of decent quality and visitors don’t feel like they’ve wasted their time reading or viewing it, natural links are likely to come all on their own. Do make sure content is SEO optimized in key spots, such as the title. Don’t go overboard with keyword stuffing though.

Publishers have many other ways to go beyond straight content to boost links. Things like hiring others to write about one’s site, posting on forums with URL signatures attached, running contests and more can all help. The trick is to be creative and think outside of the box.

When it comes to creating incoming links, there are more options than just one. Reciprocal links can be useful, but they aren’t the only way to go and likely shouldn’t be the only method focused on.
