Written by Larry Dotson

The more time people spend at your web site, repparttar

more time you'll have to persuade them to buy your product or service. Below are ten powerful ways to keep visitors at your web site longer.

1. Provide your web site visitors with content they can't read anywhere else. People will stay longer at your web site to read repparttar 131901 original content.

2. Remind your web site visitors they can print out your content. They may browse around your online store while it's printing.

3. Offer your web site visitors a freebie if they take repparttar 131902 time to fill out your online survey. They'll be at repparttar 131903 site longer and might buy something afterwards.

4. Offer your visitors free software that they can download right from your web site. While they are waiting they might read your ad.

5. Provide a huge online directory of information that your visitors could search. The directory must contain information your visitors would want.

“5 Ways to Give Your Web Site a Big-Company Look and Feel”

Written by Alexandria K. Brown

We all DO judge a book by its cover, and repparttar

same saying goes for Web sites. I’ve seen many entrepreneurs offer great information on their Web pages, but compromise their image dramatically with a few amateur mistakes that can be VERY unforgiving.

If you want to attract high quality clients and customers, and convey that you’re a legitimate, credible, and sought-after business, these five points are a great launching pad to give your site that “big company” look and feel.

<< 1. Start with a high-quality LOGO. >>

The one your kid created for you doesn’t count! I’m talking about paying a designer to do one for you, and it doesn’t have to cost in repparttar 131899 thousands. If you don’t have much of a budget, consider repparttar 131900 following options:

For my E-zine Queen site, I used an online logo service called “1800MyLogo” (http://www.1800mylogo.com). At repparttar 131901 time they charged only $199 to design a professional logo based on my business, style, and personal preferences. The whole process only took about two weeks and was conducted entirely over repparttar 131902 Web. (To see repparttar 131903 final result, take a quick peek at http://www.ezine-queen.com)

I’ve also heard good things about http://www.gotlogos.com, where you can get a quick Web site logo for only $25!

<< 2. Get your own business DOMAIN NAME. >>

It’s just a fact that folks will feel safer shopping at a site with its own domain name.

For example, if you were shopping online for a circular saw, would you be more likely to purchase from a hardware site called “www.bobshardware.com” or repparttar 131904 one whose URL is “www.geocities.com/3339/bobshardware?” (This is a fictional example, by repparttar 131905 way.)

Having your own domain name implies you’re a “real” company, and not Uncle Bob working in his kitchen at night (even though you my very well be ; )).

There are several “bargain basement” places to buy domain names, but repparttar 131906 two most popular and credible are still: http://www.register.com http://www.networksolutions.com

<< 3. Get (and USE) a business E-MAIL ADDRESS. >>

Nothing screams “amateur” like sending out professional e-mail from a handle like “fuzzybear4u@hotmail.com.” Once you get a domain name for your Web site, have your hosting company set up a professional e-mail *alias* for you.

Let’s go back to Bob, for example. Suppose Bob’s e-mail has always been “BobSmith0002@earthlink.net.” Now that he has his own domain name, he can instead use “bob@bobshardware.com”. He still KEEPS his Earthlink address, because that’s where he’ll actually receive his mail. But he should only GIVE OUT repparttar 131907 new one on his Web site, business cards, etc.
