What Costly Mistakes People Made

One of the first mistakes people made was not doing enough research on the company that would host their web sites. Once their sites became more popular they where not able to accommodate their needs and they had to move all of my information to a new hosting company which resulted in down time, loss of money, and an unfavorable reputation with some of my users because of the down time. Do your research first.

Another costly mistake was waiting to long to add a Monthly Newsletter to your web sites. You could have had much larger revenues if you would of implemented a newsletter sooner. You will be surprised by how many people actually open, read, and click on newsletter links. Do not put off this easy money stream!

An additional benefit to referral traffic is the fact that it gets people talking more about your web site on forums, web sites, and other areas. Which actually helps your Organic Traffic. It helps because most search engines check to see how many web sites are linking to your web site. So the more sites that link to yours, the higher your site will be in the search results. Which means more free traffic to your site. This was especially effective for my A.W.Surveys web site.

Don't forget about the power of E-mail as well in getting more traffic to web sites. If you are able to send out a monthly news letter for your site, you can always add in other web sites where you can receive Referrals from. Other way to do is add in another web site that you own to drive more traffic to it. The synergy by this makes my other web sites more popular as well. This is where Small Business Stacking comes into play as mentioned in the Core Theories, this is very important!

Referrals - Many web sites set up Referral programs to bring in new traffic to their web site. In most cases Referral programs offer a percentage of a sale or fixed rate per new person they have sign up. You will often see the technical Terms CPA or CPS associated with this type of traffic, it stands for Cost Per Action or Cost Per Sale.

E-mail - E-mail can be a powerful tool in bringing members back to your web site and give them other valuable information. A lot of web sites have a monthly newsletter where they can keep their users informed of what is going on with their web site as well as promote other services and other web sites they might be interested in.

You can used all of the above traffic methods, but you have to realized that some will get more success then others. Started out using Paid Search Results to get first web site additional traffic. Then moved to Referrals as this was much more cost effective for me, it to be less expensive since you only had to pay when a user signed up and not just for clicking on the link. You will also liked the idea of keeping everything “in house” and not having to pay another company for their services.

PPC - Stands for Pay Per Click. Basically every time a user visits your web site and clicks on a advertisement link you make money from it. It is usually a couple cents per click which add up quickly if you have a large user base. The most popular is Google’s Adsense program, but they are very picky on the type of traffic you send.

Coreg - Coreg or Co-Registration, is becoming more popular. This is when you have a user sign up for your web site, but during the signup process you also give them a check box option to sign up for another web site as well. If the user agrees and checks the box you will receive compensation for it.

Use a combination of all of the above income streams for your web site. Depending on the type of site you want to run it is always good to have a general idea of how you are going to make money from it. Try to figure out how to make the most money without inconveniencing the user. Otherwise the user will feel bombarded with ads or too many offers, which can likely result in the user being put off of your site and not visiting it again.
