The 5 critical checks for website performance.

I found this article on Business 2 communtity's website talking about the most important things to remember when working with a website.



Here is the article:website performance



the interesting point in this article are that when you have a website you have to remeber to think like the customer. Your internal name for a product may not be the same thing that the general public uses. My company's first aid product site use to refer to every bag on the site as a case because our main business is a carrying case manufacturer. some customers thought that they had to buy all of the bags on the site by the case quantity. other important pieces were things like have someone that is not part of your company look at your site and see if they have any problems finding what they are looking for. When you are used to a site it is easy to find what you are looking for but the navigation might be tricky to work with if you are a first time visitor to the site. this could hurt a potential buisness opportunity if someone cant find the information or product they need.



lastly astudy they mention found that 40% of websites get no traffic at all.

To Become a Billionaire Blogger

Thus afternoon I looked at my google analytics and discovered that this blog has had a woping 34 visits to it since I started it. THere are people out there that talk about what it takes to make money blogging the person over at bloggingbookshelf looked at what it would take to make a billion dollars as a blogger. Doesn't look like I am gonna make it... but anyways in order to make it to a billion in just 50 years you would have to get almost 1.1 million to click on the ads on the side of your blog since less then 3 percent of readers that means you would have to have at least 36,530,300 on your site every day for the next 50 years thats probably not even realistic but if you could do it it would quit a feat. You would be making $54,000 a day which I more then most people make in a year. this post about making enough money to make one billion dollars on a blog is rather interesting. You start to see how valuable a website can become when you start to sell product on it and you are getting sales of those products. which makes me one why I spend 20 minutes a couple nights a week writting blog posts when I should be writing content for my own site that isnt growing fast enough to make it to $54,000 a day in sales.

Linking to Products Pages

In a recent article in internet retailer magazine. They are discussing the opportunities that might be possible companies started working for backlinks on there product pages instead of focusing all of the link juice on homepages and catergory pages. set your page apart by getting your actual product to the top of google rather then trying to get your home page up for main keywords.

The question becomes how do you go about doing this do you go out and ask bloggers to link back to your page? At our site we are considering asking every person that places an order via our site to think about writing a blog post about their experience on our site. just something short and sweet and submit to ping-o-matic or one of the other ping sites to circulate it. There are also options like using product review sites to boost the backlinks to your individual product pages and hopefully get customers to comment.
