Testing Keyword Phrases For Age Demographics

The Google Ageshare Calculator...

The Google Ageshare Calculator shows you what age group mentions any given keyword or phrase the most, according to Google search results. For example, the brand name "Ford Taurus" goes to the 30-year-old crowd, while "Jeep Grand Cherokee" belongs to the 44-year-old segment. The phrase "internet marketing" is heavily weighted to those 40 to 46 years old, while "online marketing" skews more to the 30 to 32-year-old crowd. How is this calculated? We're not quite sure, but there is a lengthy explanation of the algorithms and logic used to generate the calculations should you wish to explore further. This tool is brought to you by the people at Google Blogoscoped, an unofficial, highly regarded blog on search engines and Google.

Quadruple Your Visitor Viewing Time!

This article was written by my Colleague Bob Speyer, Co-Founder/President of Web Success Team LLC.

In this article Bob
shares 10 “Web-niques” to Quadruple Visitor Viewing Time! Read on...

Field of Dreams

By now you probably have read numerous articles about driving traffic to your web site by implementing some proven techniques, such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Keyword Marketing, Google AdSense, Pay Per Click, among others. But how many articles or techniques do you read on “How to keep visitors from leaving a website?” Chances are very few.


The adage, “If You Build It, They Will Come” may work for the movie “Field of Dreams,” but not necessarily in the real Web World. Like in the movie, there has to be a raison d’etre — a reason to keep watching, a baited hook. If you remember, the film featured baseball greats of yesteryear that tapped into the consciousness of the fan, giving people something of value, a need fulfilled or just plain curiosity. They will watch the game/movie transfixed for hours. Read more...

Did You Shop Online This Christmas? I Did!

I did most of my shopping Online this Holiday Season and found it to be a very pleasant experience, so far so good!

I am reading about how many of us bought our Christmas gifts online this year and I am not surprised at all...

There are so many benefits of doing your shopping online,
verses offline, here are 5 benefits that I personally experienced:

1. Saved Gas - not having to drive all over to find the perfect gifts.
2. No Crowded Malls or Long Lines - more fun to shop without the crowds!
3. Huge Selections - biggest selection in the world without leaving your home.
4. Great Prices - I found that I actually saved money by shopping online.
5. Less Stress - was able to shop 24/7 on my own schedule, very convenient I did not feel the stress of trying to find the time to get all my gifts in a small time frame!

I hope you had as good of an experience as I did shopping online this year!
I will follow up after Christmas with the final results of my gifts being delivered timely!

So far everything has been delivered on time, even early!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all!

14 Days Until Christmas, Did You Thank Your Customers?

Your Customers are the Most Important Part of Your Business this Time of Year and Always...

You must thank your customers for buying from you throughout the year and send them Holiday and New Year Wishes! Tell them how much their business means to you.

Take advantage of this time of year to connect with your customers without asking for a sale, but ONLY just to say Thank You!

This will make your customers very happy :) whether they have bought from you one time or 12 times. It will set the pace for the coming year as you launch new products and services to these same people, and market to them throughout the New Year to come for returning customer sales.

Your Customers Like to Feel Special and Remembered...
Customer relations is the key to a good and successful ongoing business!

Happy Holidays To All!

Have You Seen What The Web Success Team Is Up To?

Kudo's For The Web Success Team LLC...

Web Success Team Launches XM Satellite Radio Online Holiday Product Promotion!

The site is a example of a consumer friendly branding with a good balance of text, graphics, and color selection to easily guide the consumer through the page. The site also has a sampling of the amazing programming choice with XM Satellite Radio. The information is presented in clearly delineated sections to help the visitor make an informed decision with added incentives to BUY NOW (i.e. rebates, extended warranty, accessory options). The Buy Now buttons are strategically placed throughout the site and linked to make a purchase through a client branded shopping cart.

Six Effective Web Design Suggestions for 2006

Here are My 6 Suggestions for Effective Website Design in 2006...

1. No Flash
Flash animations are nice, but make it difficult for people who don't have flash support and is harder for Search Engine Spiders to crawl your site. If you use Flash I suggest you contain the flash file within an html static page.

2. Website Colors
Dark colors are generally a bad idea to use on a website as they appear gloomy. Try using light colors with a few strong colors to support it. Using black as a background is a real no no!

3. Page Loading Speed
Keep your pages load time as fast as possible - people don't want to wait a whole minute just to load each page. Limit your graphics, only use images that have to do with your product or service.

4. Easy Navigation
Navigation. Keep your navigation accessible to your user where they can easily and instantly have access to your site's content. Make your site very easy to Navigate!

5. Keep Consistency
Keep your layout and presentation and logo/graphics consistent through your whole website. Always keep your navigation links at the same place otherwise it may confuse your visitors.

6. Website Width Tip
Keep your website's layout at width ranging from 700 to 780 pixels. Everyone has different resolutions and people don't like having to scroll in all directions to view your website. Stick within these widths and you will have no problems!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) How Confused Are YOU?

Why SEO Marketing may be causing you some confusion...

I have been participating in several SEO training programs, conferences, webinars, teleseminars and the list goes on.

Here are 5 of my personal observations on this topic:

1. Businesses are confused on who should be in charge of internet marketing and search engine marketing for their company website(s), and how to qualify this person(s) to work for them.

2. Should SEO services be done inhouse or outsourced? Who ever you use must be qualified, do your research!

3. Most companies have no idea what the term Organic Search Engine Listing means. Go to http://www.marketingterms.com to learn more about web marketing terms.

4. If businesses do not get educated on this (SEO) topic or hire someone who does, they will be blind sided by the competition who are
already on top of this SEO stuff and are preparing their sites for the future.

5. Matching the right Keywords with the first 250 words of your website content is one of the most crucial parts of SEO marketing. This has to be done to special google and yahoo guidelines.

I hope these 5 SEO observations help you as you prepare your website and internet marketing plan for 2006!

During Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season it is a perfect time to consider on-line coupons, rewards, or special discounts to promote visitor retention.

Why Branding Is So Important...

Your brand is what identifies YOU and or, your COMPANY to the World!

It resides in the hearts and minds of your customers and prospects as the sum total of their experiences with, and perceptions of you and or, your company. Good branding ensures loyal customers, and your existing customer relationships are the key to profitability. Branding is a major marketing goal.

SEMPO research on business marketing goals shows that most companies place "increase brand awareness" at the top of their list. Other goals include, "selling products/services online", "generating leads", "increasing traffic", "generating leads for distributors", and "providing information/education".

I recommend you check out what SEMPO has to say, Good Branding and overall Consistency are two major keys to success!
