Website Development And Optimization, How Do You Attract Customers Without Paying For Ads?

The world's best website designers know that it does indeed take time and dedication for most of us to get a website optimized in such a way that it ranks extraordinarily well. It also takes loads of content on lots of keyword focused content pages.

It is not impossible, but it does take time and effort, even with the best of website positioning tools.


The C-T-P-M Principle

The C-T-P-M principle is not the most popular way to build a site, but it is the most logical and the most consistent with "Long Tail Marketing";.

C-T-P-M stands for Content, Traffic, Pre-sell, and Monetize.

When applied properly, this principle will set in motion a snowball of website popularity that cannot be stopped!


Get Your Website Optimized or Built From Scratch

I will be glad to analyze and re-design your small business website as long as it meets my criteria and you are willing to work with me to win your niche.

If you aren't sure your whether to outsource your web site, ask your self the following question.

Should I Build it Myself or Hire Someone To Build It?

1. If you want to build it yourself, you owe it to yourself to check out SBIand see how they do things. I highly recommend it. They have the proof to back it up.

2. If you want to hire it done, by all means contact me.


My Experiences With This...

In the early days, while building my business, I made a living as a web and software developer. I developed web sites and software to keep the bills paid. I could talk for hours about designing a user interface, building a database, installing the server properly.

But I couldn't explain how to get users to your website, that is, without paying money for advertising.

I began developing websites from a programmers standpoint when the web first began emerging. I focused on providing slick functionality to meet corporate requirements (I would link you to these sites but they are Intranet sites and not accessible).

I then began focusing on creativity and beauty as more and more intriguing and breathtaking sites came to the web with the use of new tools like Flash ( please check out cumberlandiron.com and popepropertiesinc.com<, which I also developed).

But I was continually disappointed. No matter how nice you made the website, it did not attract a substantial amount of visitors. What was wrong with me, why weren't my sites attracting users.

Now I realize that a site needs to be made for users as well as search engines. You have to place equal importance on both (gardenhomeonline.com and this site are example sites I developed with this in mind).
