Place quotes like “visit us online”, “ we are open 24/7 at www.yourbusinesswebsite.com”

3)      Voice mail recording:- On your telephone voice mail you can leave your website address. Also you can talk briefly about you website little bit but not to bore the listener with too many sales pitch. Just give the listener a little information about your business online and can be accessed through your websites.

By that way employees who is outside in restaurants, clubs during lunch hour or for business purpose at Post Office other places people will notice your website address and can become your customers too.

7)      Place ads on local Event newsletters:- Placing your website address and print ads on local area newsletter like church bulletin, local area newsletter and magazine can get maximum exposure to your business, I recommend it only if your business is local based.

      Promote Sport Events:- If  there is any sports events or major parties going around in your area become a sponsor this will allow you to place your website banner in that arena. Sponsoring doesn’t mean to be amount. You can sponsor like the best player of the day kind of awards.

9)      Online Contests:- If you website is able to do some kind of contest related to your business like create unique logo contests, create a nice slogan for the company type of contests can drive traffic to your website as well as give brand recognition.

10)  Promote your website through local radio station which is affordable way to reach local customers mention your URL while giving interviews and in shows.

The bottom-line is if you miss out one marketing channel you are losing your possible customers.

Trying to set up a single website and running is itself a difficult task. So what about running several website it will be a nightmare for everyone. But there are ways and means to solve this problem if done properly you can have control, keep consistent and streamline your everyday maintenance and run more effectively.

Some of the reason webmaster runs several websites is to increase income from online advertisements and affiliate revenue. So without getting out of hand you need to run these sites smoothly. How do you do that? Have a reseller hosting account will help you to have your server needs in control.

This will also allows you to maintain several sites fast and easy. Always create a uniform way of naming the username and password for each account. This avoids you to figure out or remember 100’s several passwords. Even through your sites are completely different niches you still can share the common policy like legal and privacy content. This will allows you to save a lot of time too. This also saves you time with managing and keeping track of all the hosting renewal
dates.

Each website need unique email address to identify also it helps in branding. It is not a good idea to have a similar email for your entire website which is not professional but also visitors will be confused. But to manage several emails will consume a hell lot of your time. So here is pretty simple technique which you can make. If you have access to you hosting control panel it can be done it easily. If you don’t have one ask you hosting guys for it. Inside the control panel you can forward all your email into a single email account like Gmail or your personal email. By this way all your emails from different website will be routed to a single email account instead of logging to each and every account.

Save time with your website submission, create a list of website directories and search engines and use that while you make submission for your newly added website. Also when you come across a new website directory or search engine which you might be interested in making a submission add that to the list. Also in a note pad write down you a couple of website title, website description and website keywords which makes it easy while you make a submission.

Adding content – if you website is content based and the revenue source is online advertisements like Google Adsense and other contextual ads, and also you might be looking for unique content so that your web pages will rank higher in search engines. It is better to outsource your content writing to ghost writer who are available around the world with a very little fee. The words of caution is check with their previous writing skills and ask them to write you couple of articles on your topics and if you found satisfactory you can hire them for longer run.

Domain name Management:- Webmaster often find problems like managing their domain registration. Having multiple domain names is a daunting task. It is better you manage that in a proper way. Chances are that some of your domain name might get expired and didn’t notice the expiration email and you bypass that when you check the domain at a later date you might see that your domain is been used by some else. So don’t allow your hard work go in vain. Keep a chart of all your domain name and expiration date of each domain inside these charts. Another best practice is to book and host your domain under one domain registrar. So that you will have a control panel with these guys where you can check often about which domain is going to expire soon and you can renew that earlier. Also another method is to register your domain for a longer period so you need not worry about renewing it each and every year. Saves time on this too.

Bottom-line is running your multiple sites are consistency. Otherwise you may run into different directions at once and spin out of control. So instead of earning revenue your might be trying to stay at the top of everything.

Title is a very important for everything, a book with an attractive title catches the eye of everyone, A newspaper headlines any title which is attractive draws attention this is the same case when you write title for web pages and PPC ads.

Web pages get visitors from search engines so it is the title of the pages which shows up in SERPs, tempts the visitor to click on the links also the same scenario goes with PPC as well.

Web page title should be keyword rich and the words should be matched the search term and the related to the website niches. Irrelevant title can harm rather than good. Searchers won’t click on the title link of the SERP if the pages are non related to their search phrase.

Webmaster often makes a big mistake by giving the title like Welcome to my website, Company name and Company slogan in its Web page title. While building a web page and when writing a title for that we should always looks through the surfers eyes. When you surf for a particular product what you are looking for. For example when I am searching for Chocolate Favors I am looking for favors which is made out of chocolate. If from my search the page title is written as the Martin’s Choco Bar, I won’t be wasting my time to go that web page since it completely irrelevant to my search, In that process I am loosing a visitor and probably a sales order. So while writing a Meta tag Title we should give more importance, some of the tips will really help you in writing an attractive web page title as well as Title for PPC ads.

1) Use you most important keyword in the beginning of the title

2) Repeat the keywords inside the Meta tag description of the web page.

3) Use the same and related keywords inside the content of the web pages couple of times; preferably use it in the beginning of the paragraph and at the bottom of the content.

4) Make the Meta Tag Title short and descriptive.

5) Don’t include company name or slogan inside the Title.

6) Create unique title for different pages.

7) Just leave one space between words since space is limited in a title each blank space is precious.

Avoid dashes which eats up the space and we might not able to fit the minimum number of words.
