Firepow

I feel there are so many angles from which I could make a review of Andrew Hansen's new blogging software Firepow.

I thought I might focus here on one particular element of the program which I consider to be particularly intregal to the success of a blogger, namely, the ability to drive traffic to their blog.

If you've ever started a blog, or any form of website trying to earn some cash, you'll know it's not exactly a case of "if you build it they will come".

Even a great blog doesn't guarantee traffic and a major part of a bloggers focus has to be spreading the word about their blog in a variety of ways in order to continually increase traffic and profits.

Sure, I could have talked about the blog creation and management aspects of Firepow, which I know so many new online marketers and bloggers will find so valuable. But for me, I'm more concerned about how the program can help a user increase traffic and make more money.

Anyway, that said - I thought I'd make a brief mention of some such features of the program in order to open your eyes to the ways this program might be as much a benefit to you as I predict it will be for me.

The first thing I like, or perhaps category of thing I like, is the ability the user has to easily generate backlinks to their blog once it's up and running.

When you start a new blog, you want enough search engine spider juice to your site to have it able to rank well for long tail uncompetitive keywords, purely by on page optimization, within a few days of being created.

In addition to giving you powerful on page optimization capabilities (like allowing you to set the meta data AND h1h2 tag data for every post or page), Firepow lets you quickly generate the spider juice you need to get indexed and potentially ranking for an uncompetitive term.

For example, as soon as your site is created, you can click a button to have your RSS feed submitted to a bunch of RSS directories. You'll get some valuable link backs, plus some great spider activity right off the bat. Not to mention the ping from your post.

Furthermore, if you choose to, you could use a tool called BlogLove Builder, to quickly and easily implement a trackback to a popular blog post within your own blogs first post - and instantly generate more link juice, and even a few visitors right from the get go too!

Furthermore, if you focus on search engine traffic you'll know about the importance of link building in locking in long term rankings. Initial spider juice can get you a quick ranking, but for a LASTING ranking, you need an assortment of relevant quality backlinks establishing your page as an authority on that keyword.

Firepow has that more than covered, giving you the ability to obtain links from social networks, blog comments, and in content links from Firepow's own network of high PageRank blog sites as well.

I stress that even what I've mentioned here isn't close to all of the tools Firepow gives you to drive traffic to your site. And it's for that reason among many that 'm recommending all my blog readers to check it out for themselves.

Web Traffic

The amount of traffic seen by a web site is a measure of its popularity. By analysing the statistics of visitors it is possible to see shortcomings of the site and look to improve those areas. It is also possible to increase (or, in some cases decrease) the popularity of a site and the number of people that visit it.

Web traffic can be increased by placement of a site in search engines and purchase of advertising, including bulk e-mail, pop-up ads, and in-page advertisements. Web traffic can also be increased by purchasing non-internet based advertising.

Web traffic can be increased by placement of a site in search engines and purchase of advertising, including bulk e-mail, pop-up ads, and in-page advertisements. Web traffic can also be increased by purchasing non-internet based advertising.

Web traffic which comes from unpaid listing at search engines or directories is commonly known as "organic" traffic. Organic traffic can be generated or increased by including the web site in directories (such as Yahoo! and DMOZ), search engines (such as Google and Inktomi), guides (such as yellow pages and restaurant guides) and award sites.

Features of Portable Banner Stands

As simple as they are, there are important differences in banner stand construction you should be aware of. Here are a few important features to pay attention to while constructing your banner stand.

Field Changeable Graphics

This means you can have different versions or messages for the same hardware unit and change banners anywhere, anytime, in minutes. Change them out, change them back. Great for keeping a whole sales force up to date without the expense of new hardware. Alternate graphics ship and store in cardboard tubes. Because this feature adds so much flexibility to your banner purchase, BenchmarkImaging carries 3 units that support this flexibility: ExpoPro, SUV Plus and E-plus.

The base

Base depth and weight dictate the stability of the banner stand. Less expensive stands answer this need with feet that rotate out. Lighter weight units, although easier to transport, fall over easier as they become heavy at the top. Best designs use a 10 lbs wide base with a low profile (low center of gravity). For outdoor use, where wind is a possibility you can use outdoor banners. Last, some floors are uneven or pitched instead of flat.

The pole

In order to pack conveniently, banner stand poles have to break down into pieces. Many units add an elastic shock cord to make the set up easier. But this also means you can only have one height for your graphic. If you want the flexibility of using your roll up banner as a tabletop unit, a shock-corded pole can prevent it. Cutting the cord may work but then the attachment to the top rail or base can become an issue.

Pole attachment to the base

Some retractable banner stands require the pole to screw on to the base. This is a real disadvantage for quick portable setups. None of our units assemble in this manner.

Graphic attachment to the top rail

This is important because if the attachment fails, the banner graphic will roll up into the base and loose all spring tension. After this happens, some units can be repaired but it probably won't happen until your show is over. Cheaper units use a single layer of double-sided tape for attachment. Better units employ mechanical clamping or adhesive envelopes to insure against having the problem.

Graphic attachment at the pole top

Some units use a hook to attach the top rail to the pole. This leaves the top of the pole sticking out above your graphic and lowers the aesthetic value of trade show displays.

Bags & Cases

Bags for the more expensive units look smarter and include extra padding to help protect your investment. None of the bags are safe for common carrier shipments. If your plan calls for shipping your display ahead, you should consider a banner stand with a "Hard Case".

5 Hot Strategies for Increasing Your Website Traffic on a Budget

Discover 5 easy to implement strategies for increasing your website traffic on a small budget:

1. Offer free reports, eBooks or videos.

Giving away some freebies and including your website URL in those freebies is an effective and low cost way of building traffic to your website. All you do is write some useful short reports that someone coming to your website would be interested in reading (of course the reports will link back to your website). Then you offer your freebies on your website where your visitors must leave their email address and name before they are able to access your materials. This strategy not only builds credibility with potential customers but also helps you build a targeted opt-in mailing list that you can market to in the future.

2. Blog.

Blogging is an awesome way to bring traffic to your website. On your blog, you can discuss your products and services as well as answer any questions your potential customers may have. Of course, since it's your blog you can also add banner advertisements and text links back to your website too. By blogging regularly, you will have fresh content that will get your website indexed by search engines which is a free source of incredible traffic. The best part is that blogs are free and anyone can easily set one up using applications like Blogger or WordPress.

3. Publish your own newsletter.

Having your own newsletter where you offer free tips and content on a regular basis can help to not only bring in new visitors but also keep people coming back for more. Your newsletter will contain quality content and news about your industry as well as links to your website. If your content is good enough your newsletters can easily spread all over the Internet.

4. Join forums and message boards related to your niche or website.

Forum marketing is quite possibly the best free way to drive massive amounts of targeted traffic to your website. All you need to do is find online forums that relate to your product or service and then join in the conversation. While you don't blatantly make posts advertising your website, you are allowed to create what's known as a signature file that will go at the bottom of every post you make. It's this signature file that you can put a link back to your website, along with a catchy ad about what you offer. The more posts you make the more exposure and back links your website gets.

5. Exchange links with other websites in your niche.

To execute this strategy all you need to do is go to your favorite search engine and conduct some searches for keywords related to your website. If you can find some top rated websites that compliment instead of compete with your product or service, send them an email or give them a call and ask to do a link exchange. If the services compliment each other and don't compete you should be able to form some quality partnerships and links back to your website.

In closing, there are literally hundreds of free and low cost ways to start driving traffic to your website. The most important thing is to start executing one of these strategies today and not put it off until tomorrow. With a little bit of work, anyone can turn their website into a high traffic selling machine if they are consistent about executing new traffic strategies on a daily basis.

Tapping the Market Through Proper Marketing

The global market is full of cut throat competition. While there is a huge demand for everything, be it a service or a product, the supply is also more than sufficient. To put it in more understandable terms, the market is definitely a buyers market. As a result, for a product or service to be in demand, it is imperative to ensure customer satisfaction by providing the best possible services or the best possible product. This is a fact that is undoubtedly well registered in every organization that provides services or products to consumers, so the question is that if every one takes care of the quality, then what is it that makes the final difference that determines demand?

Strategies to create demand
It is the marketing and the sales strategy followed by the company that retails the product or the service. Retailing is basically the final link that is between the consumer and the manufacturer. So in a way the onus of proper marketing falls upon the retailer and the parent company. At the same time the advantage of proper marketing and sales are beneficial for the entire supply chain. This further augments the need for proper sales and marketing strategies to ensure that there is adequate demand for the product and the service. Further in the current scenario it is important for every organization to create brand recognition in the minds of the consumers so that they make the effort to try the product or service and following that, continue to do so. This is also referred to as brand recall and helps in ensuring that consumers can differentiate the product or service from other products and services in the same segment. A step ahead of this is ensuring brand loyalty and the foremost base that needs to be created is by making sure that the product or the service is of the best possible quality. If this is taken care off, then one can rest assured that consumers would over and over again return for the same services or the product since they are completely satisfied with what they get. Another point that needs to be addressed is that the after sales service provided to consumers is given enough importance so that they further recommend the product or service to other consumers as well.

Marketing Strategy
Coming back to marketing strategies, every company needs to have a specific department that takes care of this segment. And further every individual needs to remember that this function is imperative to the growth of the organization and should therefore be given due importance. Since organizations across the word now recognize the importance of marketing, there are a number of specialized marketing consulting services that are being offered.

What do Insurance Companies Look At?

Before you go searching for an automobile insurance policy, you need to know what they are looking for. As a purchaser of insurance, you will need to know what benefits are available to you, how the insurance company will evaluate you, and how you can get the best policy premium.

The best way to go about attaining auto insurance is to shop around. An easy way to do this is to go online. You can literally get 15 car insurance quotes in about 30 minutes to an hour. Not bad considering it could save you big money. As a general rule, I would shy away from those sites that offer getting insurance rates by the boat load. As an automobile owner, I want to make sure my car is being insured by a reputable company. Many of those sites that offer many quotes at once will turn up companies you and I have never heard of, making it very sketchy on if they would actually be able to cover costs if I were ever to get into an accident. The best way to make sure a company is reputable is by doing some general research. You will know in about 5 minutes if a certain insurance carrier would be the type of company you would trust to do business with.

What Will the Insurance Companies be Looking For?

It is definitely standard and required that an insurance company pulls your driving record. This gives a very good and accurate snapshot on your abilities as a driver. If you have a clean driving record, you will get the best rate available. If you have a severely marred record including accidents, speeding tickets and violations, you will get a very high premium.

Some insurance companies will pull your credit report. Although this is not customary, some pull it. There reason for pulling a credit report is to ensure that you, as a policy holder, will be able to pay your premiums. Not only that, but it also gives another snapshot on the type of person you are regarding actions. A person with good credit will generally be assumed as a responsible person. Someone with many late payments on their records or collections would be viewed as someone irresponsible.

Another requirement they will be looking for is that you are properly registered legally. They check to see if your car is registered. If your car is not registered, you will not be insured. Along with this, they will want to observe your car and note any marks, problems or cosmetic defect to your car prior to insuring.

How Can I Get the best Premium Possible?

There are many things you can do to get a good premium and get the most out of your discounts. You need to be aware of all the discounts you are eligible for before going into the insurance company's office. They are not required to offer you all discounts that you are not aware of. These are just some of the discounts available:

1. Discount for taking a driver improvement course. This can be one taken in school as a teen, online, or at your local DMV.

2. Military Discount: This is for current and retired military personnel.

3. Good grades discount. This is a discount provided to those students who maintain a B average or above. This discount is offered to college students also.

4. Safety features discount. Yes, you get additional discounts for safety features outside the regulated safety features.

5. Ask for a higher deductible amount.

6. Discounts from AAA (or similar) auto club.

7. Discounts for being 55 and above.

8. Safe Driver discounts

9. Insure your home and auto insurance together to get a multi rate discount.

10.Make sure you need all the insurances in your policy

Radio Advertising

Promotion through radio has been a viable advertising option for over 80 years. Radio advertising is mostly local to the broadcast range of a radio station, however, at least three options exist that offer national and potentially international coverage. First, in many countries there are radio networks that use many geographically distinct stations to broadcast simultaneously.

In the United States such networks as Disney (children’s programming) and ESPN (sports programming) broadcast nationally either through a group of company-owned stations or through a syndication arrangement (i.e., business agreement) with partner stations. Second, within the last few years the emergence of radio programming delivered via satellite has become an option for national advertising. Finally, the potential for national and international advertising may become more attractive as radio stations allow their signals to be broadcast over the Internet.

In many ways radio suffers the same problems as television, namely, a mass medium that is not highly targeted and offers little opportunity to track responses. But unlike television, radio presents the additional disadvantage of limiting advertisers to audio-only advertising. For some products advertising without visual support is not effective.
