As 2008 wraps up, StoresOnline would like to thank the many StoresOnline Employees and StoresOnline Merchants who have contributed their time, talents, and positive energy to the cause of online entrepreneurship.
The New 2009 Year is before us. If you haven’t made any New Year’s Resolutions, there is still time. But for those of you StoresOnline Merchants who are busy thinking of what you can do to further boost your online business, here are some words of guidance from SEO.com:
5 things related to online marketing that we could all use more of this coming year
1- More Content
The search engines love content. Your customers love content. You need more of it. Start a blog, write an ebook, share your knowledge with the world and you will be rewarded for it.
2 – More Links
It takes a lot of time and hard work to get people to link to your site, but links still play a HUGE part in the SEO equation, so you have to keep getting more links to your site. Quality is more important than quantity, but you need more of those quality links.
3- More Connected
Get involved in your industry associations, social networks, relevant blogs, and forums. Set up your profile on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter. The web is social, so start making friends!
4- More Testing
Don’t settle for average conversion rates. Test out different landing pages, offers, and marketing messages to continually improve your results.
5 – More Analytics
Make sure you’re tracking all the right metrics. Don’t overlook important key performance indicators. A few things you might not be tracking, but should consider are newsletter signups, bounce rate, assisting keywords and brand awareness.
StoresOnline wishes you a safe and Happy New Year’s Eve.
