Alright gang, here’s the deal. . . The FTC is cracking down once again on websites that don’t have their legal ducks in a row. The solution is easier than you think! Reputable business owners like you, could get pinned by the FTC for missing key documents such as a privacy policy for websites.

You may not be aware of it, but your website may not have all the legal documentation it needs.

What happens if the FTC picks you? Well, not much more than shutting down your website, closing your merchant account, and freezing your bank accounts. If that isn’t going to impact your business, don’t bother reading on.

In all seriousness, the wrong legal documents attached to your website could cost you your business. When the internet was young, it used to be sort of a free for all, but now you need a proper privacy policy for websites and other documents.

It’s easy to protect yourself without paying an attorney thousands of dollars to draft the right documents.

Well, according to WhoIs.net I registered the domain name on May 12, 2011. After registering the domain name, I built a search engine optimized website. I did some Search Engine Optimization magic on the site and when I checked it today, May 17, 2011 the site had page one placement for tons of targeted search phrases including: electrician haleiwa, haleiwa electrician, commercial electrician haleiwa, residential electrician haleiwa, haleiwa residential electrician, haleiwa commercial electrician, house wiring haleiwa, circuit breaker haleiwa, exhaust fans haleiwa, track lighting haleiwa, accent lighting haleiwa, light switches haleiwa, electrician north shore oahu, north shore oahu electrician, north shore oahu residential electrician, north shore oahu commercial electrician, commercial electrician north shore oahu, residential electrician north shore oahu.

If you were an electrician and your website showed up on page one of Google, and even page 1, number 1 for about half of those phrases, what difference would that make in your business?

Now, I’m not an electrician so I have no use for the website. Do you know of an electrician that would like more phone calls? Have them email info@integrityonlinemarketing.com about the Haleiwa electrician website for information about how they can own the site.

Got a website, you’d like additional exposure for online? Email info@integrityonlinemarketing.com.

I was meeting with a prospective marketing client a few weeks ago who wanted to discuss search engine optimizing their existing website to work their way up to the top of Google.

We met for an hour or so to discuss strategy for achieving a higher placement in Google. Well, to make a long story short, I received an email about a week later thanking me for my time and telling me that they are going to rebuild their site with a do-it-yourself service and that “SEO comes with it.” SCREEEEECH….CRASH!

SEO comes with it? What does that mean?

Out of curiosity, I checked it out. “SEO comes with it,” in this case meant that you can edit the title of the website, the text of the website, and the tags and description for the website if you want.

The illusion is that if you build a website that comes with SEO, that the website will be optimized for you. Wrong! That’s like selling someone a car with no oil, no gas, no brake fluid, no transmission fluid, no coolant, and no battery, then advertising that it “comes with an engine.” There are some mechanical parts under the hood, but that car is going nowhere.

So, the new car owner spends the next 6-12 months beating their head against the steering wheel trying to figure out why this car that “comes with an engine” isn’t going anywhere.

Search engine optimization is a series of strategies used to help boost a website’s placement in the search engines, and it’s only as good as the marketer implementing those strategies. All search engine optimization is definitely not created equal. In fact, if done wrong, Google will penalize your website and kick you down even further.

To my prospective client’s credit, they did say that their SEO “will need a tune up after we are done.” So, they’re on the right track. However, I went ahead and looked at the code of several websites built using the do-it-yourself system. What did I find? About 9 out of ten had ZERO search engine optimization done and 1 had a weak attempt at search engine optimizing the site.

So when you read something like this on a DIY website builder sales page, “Optimized for the best SEO and results ranking,” which I just quoted from the Features section of a popular website builder, don’t believe the hype.

Want a pair of second eyes to look at you website SEO, visit my company site at www.integrityonlinemarketing.com and mention this post when calling or contacting us.

Where will you be November 5th, 6th, and 7th? I’m not a gambler but I’m going to be in Las Vegas!

Many of my personal coaching clients know that Armand Morin was the first internet marketer that got me hooked into the business. The man is brilliant and he’s putting on the very last “Big Seminar” internet marketing event ever! This is Big Seminar 14 and it’s the last one ever again!

It’s happening November 5th – 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It’s three FULL days of online marketing training that you simply cannot miss; and it’s in Las Vegas! I got my ticket. Yes, I’m flying from Hawaii to Vegas to attend this awesome event.

Now get this. Armand just cut the price of registration in half!!! Yep, since this is going to be the biggest and last Big Seminar ever, he wanted to make sure you could be there. What about all those who paid full price already? Armand already refunded half of their payment. This seminar is about you and growing your business. Period.

Tickets were originally $1997 and have been slashed to just $997!!! And you can bring a guest for an additional 50% off of that.

Hey, would I go if I personally didn’t know this was going to drastically grow my business? No way. I’d be enjoying the surf back home. But, on Nov. 5-7th, you know where I’ll be. . .Vegas.

After you get your tickets, let me know and we can be sure to meet up at the event.

1) The graphics files that make up your website are too large. Web graphics are different than print graphics. If you use graphics meant for print on a website, it’s going to take forever for those graphics to load on someone’s screen.

2) There’s too much extra code behind the scenes of your website.

3) Your hosting account is slow. Your hosting account is like the gas for your website. If you have a junk hosting account, the site’s going to always run slow no matter what.

What’s the fix?

A) Have a web professional like myself or someone else have a look at your website for a free quick assessment.

B) Try switching to a new hosting account. I won’t name names but some are notoriously slow. Want a fast one? Here’s a company I recommend: Unlimited Domain Hosting Only $9.95 a Month

It happens to everyone that unrolls an effective online marketing campaign. First, there’s the thrill of new business leads magically appearing in your email box. Then, those leads get lost among your other email, then your mental Rolodex of leads maxes out, and finally all leads mix together and your lead management turns into and endless game of 52 Card Pickup.

Ah, you remember 52 Card Pickup. I remember the first time I was taught how to play that game. I was about 8 years old and I was invited to play a card card came. “What’s it called?” I asked enthusiastically. “It’s called 52 Card Pickup,” was the reply. “How do you play?” I asked. And down went the entire deck of cards all over the floor waiting for us to pick them up.

If you feel like you’re constantly playing 52 Card Pickup with your leads, you need a lead nurturing software to keep all your leads under control in a tight deck.

As soon as the cards, I mean leads, start hitting the floor there are usually two reactions: 1) generate more leads to replace those that you know are falling by the wayside or 2) tighten up the deck and get a follow up system for lead management.

The best solution is to tighten up the deck and manage or nurture your leads effectively.

So, what do I personally use to manage my leads? Well, I’ve tried all kinds of solutions that I won’t go into here and the best solutions I’ve found is a software called Act! It’s fantastic. You can track your leads from the source, through the sales process, and into production. It will even track the money your leads are converting into.

Is it intuitive? Yes. I don’t have time to read instruction manuals, and I use the software just fine.

Can you take it for a FREE Act! Test Drive to try it out? Absolutely.

Now, I don’t own Act! or anything. I bought the software to use for my business, it solved my problem, and I recommend you check it out. Here’s where you can get FREE Act! 2010 test drive, no strings attached. Great company!

When it comes to marketing online, Google, Yahoo!, Bing, AOL, and others don’t care where you business is, how many employees you have, what your tax return was last year, or what you wear to “the office”, which for many businesses is little more than a leisurely stroll past the refrigerator for a cold drink then on to a laptop at the kitchen table. The job of the search engines is to deliver relevant information to those searching for it.

The real online marketing magic happens when you learn how to make your business the source of information that people are searching for.

Let’s go through a real life example. Suppose you have a small boutique in Hawaii on the North Shore of the island of Oahu that sells a variety of products. Where would you start marketing online? Well, first of all, with some research you learn that every month there are about 1,000 people around the world searching online for the exact phrase “gifts of Hawaii”. Next, you make some changes to your website so that it comes up at the top of Google when people search for “gifts of Hawaii”. Then, if your website is built to sell, you’ve tapped into a steady stream of customers.

This is a perfect example because the average business owner would not think that “gifts of Hawaii” is what people are actually searching for. Well, they are. And when that little Hawaiian boutique owner’s business starts showing up on the Google search engine when people search for “gifts of Hawaii”, the sales are poised to go up.

And for all those Hawaiian boutique owners that read my blog, “You’re welcome”. Happy marketing!
