Knowledge is power to succeed. You need to monitor your website so you are aware of factors that can affect your success. You need to know about, and understand any problem(s) in real-time, rather than by counting lost revenues. Knowing about problems immediately, can save you hundreds, thousands, or even millions of dollars.
Website Uptime MonitoringFor example, if in the nick of time, you know that there is a problem with access to your Website, and/or email service from New York today. Let’s say, a satellite responsible for internet transmission has been damaged. You cannot fix this, but perhaps you can hold back an advertising campaign for a few hours, or days, until the problem has been resolved. The effect on the value of your advertising could be millions of dollars.
Or perhaps you’re visiting a trade show, giving your business cards and brochures, to potential customers. You hope that some will check your website or drop you an email tonight. However, you are unaware that a script run by another user on the same server with your website, has gone wacky. Your website, and email service are not presently available. A simple call to your Web Host Provider could fix the problem, in under 2 minutes. Unfortunately, you were busy at the show. You had no idea of the problem. Too bad that 50 of those potential customers tried to access your dead website, and just decided you’re not ready to do business with them. A dirty shame it is.

1-Buy advertising on search engines
Google Adwords and Yahoo Overture both provide excellent advertising venues that are very popular and assure good traffic. Unfortunately, this surefire way to traffic costs a bit of money. But, though some say shy away from spending money for traffic, it is logical in this case, because Adwords and Overture advertising are reliable ways to increase your traffic.

Viral marketing is a way you can spread the word about your company, products and services, without little costs. This is sneaky marketing; for example, you can attach your company’s name, products, services or web links to a media such as a funny video, entertaining game, a free download, an interesting article, gossip or buzz. Using this method, people tend to get infected with creativity and entertainment afforded by the medium, so they pass it on to many friends, family and business associates.

So what makes up Google Page Rank? August 23, 2008
Posted by madeyoulook101 in Made You Look Tales, Thought of the Day Posts, Website Toolbox.add a comment
Many Webmasters have been trying to master the “Page Rank” game and perhaps the most common target is to get placement on Google search engine. So, just how does Google do it? What does it take to get a good page rank in Google’s eyes?
Well that is something much easier to guess about than to actually know. You see millions have been working for years to figure that equation out. But Google’s page rank system is a closely guarded secret, and changes as the days and months go by. Naturally, if any Webmaster actually had that knowledge, it would be so very easy to manipulate your positioning in Google or other search engines.
Well, I do not claim to know the secreat either. I eman, I can and do very often get great results in Google, very fast. But, I can’t say I have Google’s formula. But, the experts at “Smart Page Rank” think they have a handle on the basic equation. So Webmasters, have a look, seems pretty good to me. So check it out….(opens a new window)—> CLICK HERE
Naturally, the information is useful, but is itsi not the easy road to high search engine results. In fact, contrary to popular belief. It does not take a PR7 to get into Google’s front page. It takes planning and hard work.

Install a web directory program on your website and offer a real service. Select your niche, be it marketing or carpet installation. And define categories that are similar or related to your industry. heck, list your competitors too. be a good neighbor.
Next, your ready to share link backs with anyone. Only your links to them are likely better due to the nature of your special niche directory.

What’s with the Baby Shoe…? August 23, 2008

Many years ago, we had a client come to us and ask if we could help with marketing his shoe store. He has a very nice, well stocked footwear store in a small rural area of about a 120,000.
He had been in business for about 7 years and while he had grown, he wanted more. he wanted to expand to cover the area better. he had one store in one town in an area composed of four smaller communities.
After a little talking, I realized that he had carefully compiled a detailed bio on every child and family he had serviced for 7 years. All neatly written on 3×5 cards. He knew names, birthdays, shoe sizes, gender, favorite colors, and family details.
What a gold mine I thought. So I immediately asked can you tell me how many children will need shoes next month. He responded, give a minute.. realizing that his information was the key to solving his request. I set out to develop my plan.
I instructed him to go get a good bulk purchase of children’s shoes and to be certain to order with his customers sizes, colors and other preferences in mind. Because we were going to get them to come see and buy his shoes as soon as they arrive.
The plan was simple. We designed a 9×10 postcard with two small slits in it. Between the slits, we randomly printed 10% – 20% – 30% off coupon codes. I then had the printer produce business cards that were the shape of a baby shoe, with the phantom of laces, and such, but still a business card for Gannon Shoes. The business card was then placed into the the two slits, so that it would not fall out, and covered the discount value.
The rest is now history… we mailed these simple post cards to the momies of 500 children who had visited before. I had him write a small note, say hi to Billy, or looking forward to seeing Mary on each.
He sold out his new shipment, and continuing this strategy, he soon openned his second shoe store in the next town over.
Again, simple, “Made You Look Marketing”
A Run on Talking Calulators August 23, 2008

Many years ago a client came to me and asked how they could increase sales of office supplies. The company had been selling office supplies for more than 20 years in asmall community of four near by cities. The total population was not more than 120,000 so these were very small communities
They had a lot of inventory that had not sold in more than a year. They had 3 competitor officie supply companies, and the economy was not robust at all. never the less. They needed to get out of debt, and they knew that more sales was the answer.
I employed many techniques to make things happen. But, here we will detail a bit about the most successful tactics. things that worked well off-the-net 20+ years ago. BHut can still work today and even be adapted to the internet.
The Talking Calculator
In the early 1980’s the Talking Calculator was a new and curious technology. Heck, there were not many personal computers, and many people had just gotten their first breifcase mobile telephones, just under 11 lbs, and good for 2hours on a charge.
So one bright sunny day I gave each of the sales personnel a talking calculator, and sent each of them to see 10 clients in their offices, for a friendly visit. I told them to say hello and suggest that we could make them very special offers on everyday supplies. But to jump right to the calculator and start clicking away while they talk and figure out the savings.
naturally, the customers were facinated with the talking calculators, and after the first three client visits, each of the salespeople returned with order, and apologizing that they had been forced to sell their calculators to the fist 1,2 or third customer..
One of the best sales months that company ever seen. With a run on talking calculators and bulk office supply sales.
Too me, simply “Made You Look” selling…

For many years my lovely wife and I have been working together in marketing, advertising and sales. Not just for our own companies but professionally for our clients in three advertising agencies we long since sold off
Many times over the years we have seen the little twist that ‘Made You Look”. You know what I mean… can be a the right color or colors, the right picture, words, sounds, smells. Whatever made you look. So we are dedicating this BLOG to the concept of ‘Made You Look” marketing, advertising and sales strategies.
We have pretty much always used some form of “Made You Look” (MYL) strategy in our daily careers. We would say, that it is the difference betwen our successes and those of others in whatever area we focus. So, this philosophy will be a common theme in this BLOG.
