Give Your Website A Chance

Written by Elizabeth McGee


I often wonder how serious people are when it comes to their websites. I thought that most everyone knew thatrepparttar phrase "Build it and they will come" no longer applies onrepparttar 132419 internet but I'm not sure how many people really believe it.

I look at sites everyday as part of my sales strategy and I can't tell you how many of them violaterepparttar 132420 obvious elements of good website design and submission.

What even amazes me more is that they can't figure out why they don't get sales or visitors.

Do yourself a favor and attempt to applyrepparttar 132421 following tactics to your site. They won't cost you a thing except a little time and effort to apply them.

** About Page **

Always include an about page on your site. Don't be afraid to tell your story and let people know who you are and how you arrived where you are.

Opening yourself up and letting people know who you are adds an element of trust. It exposes your personality, capabilities and knowledge. All factors that let your readers know you are genuine.

** Include all your contact information **

Let your visitors know that you are available. Encourage questions, email and phone calls. Include your name, address and phone number. If you can, it's also helpful to place a photo on your site. Familiarity is key and it can add one more link inrepparttar 132422 ladder of trust.

** Headlines **

Create compelling headlines. Peakrepparttar 132423 interest of your readers. This is your chance to grab their attention and incite them to read on.

Don't be flashy or obnoxious. Simply tell it like it is. Capture their attention with descriptive, informative words. Get your readers involved in your information. Ask questions. Make them think.

You might be surprised to learn that just one compelling headline can bring instant sales almost overnight.

**Create your meta tags **

This isrepparttar 132424 first place I look when people tell me they aren't getting visitors. I often see sites that have no title or description tag orrepparttar 132425 tags don't followrepparttar 132426 suggested guidelines for proper setup.

Here's an example of howrepparttar 132427 tags might look for a site that sells hummingbird feeders:
