The vast majority of web sites are destined to fail before they are even built. Why? Because people building sites almost always put
cart before
horse. Actually, most don’t even include
horse.Evolution of Your Site
New sites follow a typical evolutionary process.
1. The first stage involves slaving over
design of
site to get just
right look;
2. The second stage is
publication of
site;
3. Third comes
first thought about how to get traffic to
site;
4. Fourth,
discovery of pay-per-click options;
5. Fifth,
pursuit of PPC campaigns and realization of sales!;
6. Sixth,
“misery stage”, occurs with
realization that sales are being made at a loss!;
7. Frustration, frustration, frustration;
8. The “extinction stage” - With profitability seeming impossible,
PPC campaigns are closed and
site just sits there.
