This JavaScript script will open new window that has your thankyou.htm page. Make sure you change URL above to point to your recommendation page.

Step 3

On every page on your site, add this in tag:

onUnload="exitcnsl()"

Your body tag will look something like this: or if it has other properties such as a background color. This tells browser to execute JavaScript in head section if user goes to another page or closes browser.

Step 4

On every page on your site, add this to every link that you have on those pages that goes to another page within your site:

onclick="exit=false"

This is how it will look like on a link:

To go to our samples page click here at this time.

This tells browser that if user clicks on that link, JavaScript should not be executed. This makes whole process dormant until point where your visitor is leaving your site. When user is leaving your site, they will either shut down their browser, type in a new URL into browser, click on a link in your site going out of your site, or use their 'Back' button to take them to a site they were in before coming to yours. All these actions will not set 'exit' value to 'false' and so JavaScript will be executed. Remember, this is added only to links that go to pages within your site so that those links set 'exit' value to 'false'.

That's it!

A bonus application for this

An excellent place to have this is in your search engine positioning doorways. As you may already know, perhaps best way to get lots of free traffic is to achieve top search engine positions using doorway pages. Doorway pages are pages that are designed to rank highly in search engine results. For more information on doorway pages, see www.searchpositioning.com. The problem is that doorway pages are often not too pleasing to eye, and cannot be made to look as good as rest of pages on your site. That is because they have to strictly adhere to certain text statistics to score highly. So even if you do have a great doorway page that ranks highly, a user may find it and come to it but decide not to click through to your site because they were not too pleased with how your doorway looks like. By adding JavaScript pieces discussed above, and setting your home page as URL script opens in a new page, you will be assured that one way or another, that visitor will see your site as long as they get to your doorway page.

9) One key to advertising is this, go with big guys! If you know a big reputable company is advertising at a certain place, you can be assured they have utilized their resources and researched that advertising company thoroughly, and hay, they are successful for a reason, so advertise where they do! Lets take Microsoft for example, if they advertise in paid classifieds at Yahoo, then I say, "Go for it!" That is one thing I always do. I first look for logos or businesses that are familiar to me when I come to a site, if I do not see any, I leave.

10) Best of all to be successful you must remember this, there are millions of people on line advertising their business. Many of them are advertising same type of business that you are advertising. Go far away from them and advertise in a place that is not being used for that purpose by other people in that same field.

All of those FFA link pages, people do not read links there, they place links there, that is why they are there, to advertise not to buy. One last thought, if you want to know where not to advertise follow this rule, when you see a link or a banner that says you can advertise on their site for free, than you go there and are bombarded by advertisements, do you read them? No you don't, neither will anyone else. Be smart.
