Marketing Your Site

What's New ?

Keep It Simple

Have you heard the term "Sales Copy”? If not, you should know that it simply references the copy or content of your website. Some people feel it is the single most important ingredient of a successful website. I wouldn't go that far, but it is important.

While I don't recommend that everyone place sales copy such as “The Secret will be revealed for only $39.99 on the home page of your site". Sites that incorporate this type of sales copy do have one thing right. They target a specific market and make certain that their content is simple, quick to load, and catchy. Every phrase drives you ever closer to the inevitable "ask to buy".

Why is this good? Because many websites don't focus on a specific market, they don't discuss a specific need that they fill, and they never ask the visitor to follow through and purchase their products or services. And what was it they wanted to accomplish with their website in the first place?

I am not suggesting that you use the type of sales copy employed by the websites mentioned above. I am however suggesting that we target our content to a specific audience, keep it simple, direct and focused on the message you want to deliver. This along with an aesthetically pleasing look for our sites will accomplish what many wish for from their website.

Keep your sales content simple and direct. Mark Twain said it best when he said, "Brevity is the Soul of Wit".

Network Upgrade

This weekend the network hosting all of our sites will be upgraded. We will be expecting intermittent outages anytime between 11pm on Friday, October 26 and 12:00pm on Saturday morning, with the most significant outages occurring between 3am - 10am.
