Anybody and everybody who uses the internet for conducting business right from small businesses to multi-million conglomerates use this advertising technique to attract targeted traffic to their site.

Appropriate Keywords for PPC Advertising

It is a given that, only the use of appropriate keywords will help you coin the perfect search engine friendly advertisement. When it comes to Pay per Click marketing you must at least try and find a few specific keywords that are related to your site or the content that you have put up on the site. You can then use them in your attempt at this form of advertising.

Budgetary Limitations for PPC Campaign

You must try and work within the constraints of a specific budget. You should never go beyond your budgetary limitations when it comes to the Pay per Click campaign. Your result oriented bid should neither be too low or too high.

Wording Your PPC Advertisement

You must word your advertisement in a way such that it manages to attract only that reader who might be interest in your product and services. You are actually paying on a per click basis and hence you must only get those web visitors who will buy and utilize your services. The best way to go about configuring the perfect wording is rotating the various ads that you have created. Hence, you can identify as to which PPC advertising works best for you.

A Perfect Landing Page

Once the visitor clicks on the ad, he or she will be taken to the landing page. Hence, it is of utmost importance that your landing page has completely relevant content to the ad that your have placed. An important associated tip in this regard, given by PPC experts is that longer copy has always worked better than short copy when it comes to the pay and click advertising format. However, you must take care that the length of the copy must only be long enough to satisfy all the queries of the customer and not contain information that is of no use to the potential customer.

Testing the Ad

This tip would entail the creation of numerous ads under the aegis of a single ad group. If you approach any PPC consultants, they would ask you to run a collection of ads maybe two or three in number, for a specific period of time. You can then track these ads and mark their performance.

Choosing Suitable Shopping cart software for ecommerce

Ecommerce is one of the most sought solution for online business. There are a lot of open source as well paid shopping cart softwares offering different type of features, few suits for some requirements, others suits for other few requirements and at one stage it becomes very hectic for anyone to choose the most suitable shopping cart software for the application.Following topics might help you to choose the most suitable shopping cart software for your business.

What is a shopping cart ?
The most important question. Shopping cart is a series or bundle of scripts packed together to keep the track of products, a visitor buys and store till the checkout. It is a script which helps buyers to search/browse different products, collect them in the shopping basket (add to cart) and then submit that on the counter (checkout) to calculate (checkout) and then pay the amount (using payment gateway) and then get the products (shipping) online.

There are many free and premium shopping cart softwares with different features and making it difficult for you to choose one !!!!

Free or premium shopping carts?
Before choosing any software package, its important to know your requirement, how and what you want your application to do? you may need few or more features of any application, choose which is more near to your requirement.Be careful not to limit yourself either - you may only want limited features initially, but what about in the future? The application you choose may be flexible to implement new features. Some application offer future updations at regular intervals, choose which one is more felxible to future updates.

Premium shopping carts can cost you between $150-$400 for a normal shopping cart application with or without design implementations.

Free ecommerce solutions:

There are few free ecommerce solutions, like paypal which allows you to put your products online and are paid online thru paypal and you have to pay only a nominal fee per transaction. Transaction is fully secure.

There are many other opensource applications offering applications, with so many features that you can build your online stock with different payment options,different features etc like oscommerce,creloaded etc.

What other features do shopping carts have?
The current era of ecommerce applications can be considered as the brightest and more advance era with a lot of advanced features.However there are few features which needs to be in your application to make it a standard web store.

a) Easy category/product Navigation: Your storefront should have very easy navigation and search feature. Ideally divided in different categories for easy navigation.Displaying hot/featured products highlighted to draw attention of users.

b)Suggest sell/cross selling functions: While shopping (browsing thru products) if shopping cart is smart enoough to suggest some more products related to the current one specially with discount will motivate users to go for the product.This is considered one of the major strategies to attract more users by offering discounts on the same product or related products. So similar feature in the shopping cart might boost your sale.

c)Quantity discounts/coupons: I personally recommend this. Offering discount after a number of purchases, a fixed amount to motivate the buyers. Also offering coupon codes to potential customers as part of marketing campaign, with this code shopping cart will automatically deduct the amount from the total and will offer low price to the customer.

d)Newsletter functions : Through this feature you are alwasy in contact with the customer. While you have any offer/discount or special campaign this is the best way to be attached with the customers, sending them mails/newsletter. And also its an way to create an address book for future campaigns.

e)Affiliate modules : This is the need of the market and one of the low cost way of advertising your product. This way you advertise your products on other websites adn pay based on the performance only after the order is processed(paid). An affiliate module can handle the signup, provide statistics,streamline communiction and keep track of payments to be made to the affiliates.

f) Other features commonly incorporated into carts include inventory tracking, shipping, sales tax calculation, stationery creation/management, reviews and wish lists.

Apart from these features there are other factors which you need to consider before choosing the applicaiton, if you have already hosting you need to check if the application will be supported by your hosting or not,budget,payment gateway,shipping support and the most important if the application is capable enough to carry your business in long terms and support system. For long term prospect better support system is most important which can incorporate the latest changes in the market.

Basics of Web Designing

Web design is made up of some basic premises, and if you understand them you can design pages that will impress and illuminate your readers.

Basic Tips of Web Designing

The following tips can help you to create great web designs that work with your readers.

  • Use small images like 10-15 kb per image, yes it depends on the source, but slow pages are really annoying and huge images are a primary cause of slow pages. It’s easy to optimize your images.
  • Always use graphics that fit the content. Just because you have an adorable photo of your dog doesn’t means you should have it on your website about web design.
  • Stick with standard layouts. The 3-column layout is so popular on websites and newspapers because it works. You might think it’s boring, but you will keep more readers if you stick with something simple that they can understand.
  • White space should be more than the CSS property; it is a function of your layout. You should be aware of the white space on your pages and how it affects the content viewed. White space is important in a web layout as it is a paper layout.

Fonts

  • Serif for headlines and sans-serif for text. Sans-serif fonts are much easier to read on computer monitors because the screen resolution is not as high as it print. If you use serif fonts for normal text, the serif can blur together on screen making it hard to read
  • Limit the number of different fonts. 2 or possibly 3 standard font families are easier to read and look more professional.
  • Use standard font families, for example: You can choose “Rockwood LT standard” as this font on your page, but the chances that one of your readers will have that font as well is pretty low. Sticking with font like Verdana, Geneva, Arial, and Helvetica may seem boring, but your pages will look better and the designs will look correct on more browsers.

Remember Your Readers

  • Test your pages in multiple browsers.
  • Write the content as they want. Unless you are writing a site purely for yourself, make sure that your content should covers topics that your readers want to read.

These are just the basic designing tips which should be kept in mind if you are designing on your own, for more custom designing solutions for your website, you may request a free quote from us.

How to make SEO friendly JavaScript Link Navigation?

Site navigation is a very important part of the presentation and making site more seo friendly. Mostly webmaster recommends to makes site navigation link simple by using html language. But if you want to use drop down menu, sub menu in the site navigation link then mostly designers use javascript language for creating site navigation link. As search engine spiders get some difficulty to read the javascript link so it is not useful for the view of SEO.

Now there rises a question that how we can make site navigation SEO friendly having Javascript. By using Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technology you can assemble html link with the javascirpt and give your link format as that of a static html ink as well as calling a javascript function. That way you’ll have the Ajax functionality for JavaScript users, while non-JavaScript users can ignore the script and follow the link. For example:

<a href=”category.html?product=16” onClick=”navigate(’ category.html#product=16′); return false”> product=16</a>

Here you can make it as static link URL by using a parameter (?product=16) rather than using a fragment ( #product=16) which is used by the Ajax code. As search engine spiders can read the parameters instead of fragments so we can present site with a search engine friendly URL.
