I’m pleased that my site received a few more visitors than last month.  My traffic efforts certainly seem to be consistent, bringing me roughly the same amount of traffic each month.  In the next few weeks, I will be implementing a new strategy to, hopefully, grow that traffic.

Twitter is growing again. I made a change this month. I set my account to automatically follow people who follow me. I knew it would increase my followers a little because some people unfollow if you don’t follow them back. I now see how many people that really is because those people are now staying with me, and my number of followers did grow. I haven’t done anything else to grow my followers this month.

Inbound links continues to baffle me.  I don’t know why this is growing so rapidly.  But I’ll take it!

While social networking helps you promote your business, it can also be one strategy that can help generate traffic for your site. This is why before you actually make known to all your contacts that you have a website, you have to make sure that your website has the following:
1. Your company name and phone number – This must be found at the top of every page in your site.

2. An interface that’s easy to navigate – You have to make sure that your viewers will be able to find exactly what they are searching for without much difficulty.

3. A content-rich landing page – Your landing page must have comprehensive information that is enough to let your visitors know what your company sells.

4. A comprehensive About Us page – Make sure that the information you enter into this page encompasses the company or the business image that you want to portray.

If you still are uncertain about how ready your website is, then by all means contact me. I can help you evalua
te your website and I can even provide you with tips, techniques, and suggestions for free. Email me at drichmond@tekkbuzz.com.

Remember, you will only be able to make the most out of your social networking efforts if your website is all ready to receive the amount of traffic that social networking can give.

Your business needs to have its own place in the web so you need to have your own website.

Having your own site go live on the web need not be overly expensive. Even when you are on a shoestring budget, you can avail of cost-effective and totally user-friendly web hosting services from Network Solutions.

Because Network Solutions’ interface is designed to be easy to navigate, you don’t need extensive knowledge on HTML to make use of their site builder. Network Solutions is, by far, the least expensive way in which you can create a customized website without knowing HTML or web design.  The biggest advantage is being able to create and frequently update your website yourself. With this particular web hosting service, it will be easy for you to change site content and add images. Adding and deleting pages will be a breeze.

I’ll be posting more site builders and hosting sites as I find those that offer the ability to create professional websites with an easy interface. Do you have web hosting and site building questions? Post them here. I’m happy to help!
