There is only one way to optimize your site – organic search results.

Let us define organic search results. When searching for information on the web the SERP or search engine result page will return links for your query. Searching in Google will often return highlighted links at the very top of the search. These results are paid results and can cost a fortune to keep. The results directly under come from site optimization and are organic or natural search results. Once your site is optimized and your site comes up in these positions for key word or phrase searches they will usually stay within close proximity. The paid results will disappear as soon as you stop paying for that position.

With this being said, it is important your site comes up in natural search results rather than paid. Proper optimization of site structure, key word density, title tags, content headings, and many other factors determine where you are positioned in the SERPs. Contact a professional internet marketing specialist today for more information and a free no obligation quote to optimize your site.

Building a list does not come over night. You can not buy a list. You must create a list from people that want to receive the information you offer.Below I will list several legitimate ways to build you list. We only approve of white hat practices when it comes to SEO and marketing.

To get your list started you can compile the list of e-mail addresses you have from existing clients and customers. This will give you a small base to build upon.

You will also need an auto-responder to respond to these requests. Automation is key to having your list built 24-7-365 whether or not you are in front of your computer.

  • Offer something for free in return for an opt-in e-mail address. Offering a product like a newsletter, application, or free advice are all great ways to get opt-in e-mail addresses. When acquiring e-mail addresses do not request large amounts of personal data in your form. First and maybe last name and e-mail address are sufficient. If you want more data you can work toward gaining that information after you have gained a bit of trust.
  • Gather e-mail addresses at Point of Sale (POS). If you have a brick store front you can offer an opt-in e-mailing for promotions that can be offered prior to the promotion going public.
  • Offer a “rewards” program on your site. e-commerce sites often offer a rewards program that allows customers to acquire points for purchases that can be used as discounts on future purchases. This method has a duel reward for you. First you gain an e-mail address and also a greater possibility of return customer to redeem their points.
  • Write an e-book and offer it on your site. In order ti receive the e-book a form requesting name and e-mail address must be filled out and submitted.

Very simply put, a list is an e-mail address opt-in list (a list people voluntarily join) that you can use for marketing your products or services. This is not a list you compile from searching for e-mail addresses or use e-mail harvesting software, as those techniques are illegal and will get you listed as a spammer.
