Your Internet Business and Online Profits

In this day of tough economic times, we are all looking for the edge in business. If you have a home based business and taking it to the internet or if you are an affiliate marketer trying to stand out in the crowd there are a few things that you can do to rise above the hustle and bustle of marketing online.


First, you have to brand yourself as a professional entrepreneur. If you are using a replicated site from a company the chances are very slim that someone will pass over that site before they even view any of the content that is available to them. You will not be seen as a professional if you do not have your own website that has been built for you. You need to build credibility with your prospects and your customers and the first way to do that is by choosing to have your own site.


Second, the name of your site is also important. It has to represent the business that you are promoting and yet be simple enough for people to remember. The last thing that you want is a domain name that is so long and it takes forever to type into the search bar. Also remember, if you are selling more then one product you can easily have 10 different domain names but have them all forwarded to the same site. On your main site you can have different products or services which link off of that site. Domain names are very cheap per year but what they give you as far as credibility is priceless.


For every domain name that you have you can also attach an e-mail addresses to that name, therefore minimizing one e-mail overload and allowing different functions for each address.


If you are an affiliate marketer it looks much more professional to have a domain name that people can quickly click on and remember then to have a long affiliate name that your customer will click on only once and never be able to remember again.


Third, in order to obtain higher rankings with the search engines it is important to have a domain name that has keywords in it that people search for often. If you are using a name without rhyme or reason or a long affiliate name, chances are the search engines will not notice you and therefore you will not be ranked highly when customers are searching for your products. Many search engines will not even search out a site if there are affiliate numbers at the end of your site name and with so many affiliate marketers out there today it is imperative if you want to make money online to get to the top of the search engine listings.


The above list is only a few things that the average online marketer can do to stand out above the crowd. So take the time to think of a good name for your site, pay the small fee that is required to register a name and you will have taken the first step to increase your profits online.
