Final Quote ==========================================================- 1. Jonathan : Hello, This issue's article isn't one that I wrote... But I saw it at a website that had different articles, and I really liked it. The author allows people to reprint his articles, as long as a little space is included at the end mentioning his website. The Cool Tool for this issue is Ad-Aware. I highly recommend it. I've been using it for a long time since finding out about it. And in case you haven't downloaded my ebook yet, take a minute to do it now. You'll like it(I hope). You can download Website Traffic
Demolition at: As a student of WNU (Wordnet University), I got an email recently stating that the Forum section had been changed so that now you can be notified of new posts in a specific section. I thought this was a nice addition, besides the fact that it tells you that the website is updated. ;-) Sign up for the free 30 day
trial and see for yourself. I've starting collecting some spam that I've been receiving, and in the future, I hope to put up a page about spamming. Some of the spam that I've received is quite hilarious. Anyways, enjoy this issue's article, and don't forget to try out the Cool Tool. Chao, Jonathan ==========================================================- 2. 10 Ways To Lose A Sale! by Larry Dotson
Remind people that they are ordering through a secure server. Tell them you won't sell their e-mail address and all their information will be kept confidential.
Your ad lists features instead of benefits. The headline does not attract at your target audience. You don't list any testimonials or guarantees included in your ad.
They will feel more comfortable if they know who they are buying from. Publish a section called "About Us" on your web site. Include your business history, profile of employees, contact information etc.
Accept credit cards, checks, money orders, and other forms of electronic payments. Take orders by phone, e-mail, web site, fax, mail, etc. 6. You don't make your web site look professional. You want to have your own domain
name. Your web
When you use free stuff to lure people to your web site include it below your ad copy or on another web page. If you list the freebie above your ad they may never look to see what you're selling.
A simple way to do this is to survey your existing customers to see what attracted them to buy. This information will help you improve your target marketing and advertising.
There are many people who write an ad copy and never change it. You have to continually test and improve your ad copy to get the highest possible response rate.
Many people are interested in your product but they put off buying it till later and eventually forget about it. Entice them to buy now with a freebie or discount and include a deadline date when the offer ends. ---- ==========================================================- 3. Cool Tool : Ad-Aware Ad-Aware is a great tool to rid your computer of scumware. What is scumware? Scumware are the 'spy modules' that come installed with free ad-supported software, that you can usually find on most websites on the internet. One of the most well known spyware programs is Gator. So what do the modules do? They collect information about the computer users, without your knowledge! The spyware modules may be telling them what websites you are visiting, what you are doing on the computer, how much time you spend online, and more. Fortunately, this is the Cool Tool section, in Awesome Solutions For Webmasters, so I'm going to provide you with a solution to rid your computer of scumware. Ad-Aware is a great little tool that scans your computer for spy modules/programs and more and removes them. It will scan your memory, your registry, and your hard drives. Get Ad-Aware now! It's a great tool, and it's free. Note: Some programs that use spy modules may stop running when you remove the modules. So be careful when choosing if you want to remove something. I personally don't use any programs that have scumware. So anytime that I run Ad-Aware, I'll delete whatever it finds. Get Ad-Aware and find out what programs that you have are infected with scumware. Odds are that if you've been using the internet for awhile, and if you occasionally download things, then you've been infected. ..GOT A COOL TOOL? Send me the description and
