 There Are Golden Rules for Your Successful Web SitePublished Date: 2008-09-25 16:46:18 WorkOnInternet.com
There are four golden characteristics to success which you cannot ignore: Passion, Patience, Perseverance and Discipline. Do away with any one of these and you join thousands of other would-be entrepreneurs who overestimate the short term results of their website and underestimate the long term results. Hundreds of good sites are deserted, just when the tide is turning . The authors let themselves slip into disillusionment and quit. Just at the point when they were about to gain the harvest of all their hard work, they desert their dreams. Many things have been said about the correct keywords and their long tails etc. The real key is to find high traffic words with low competition. However , even when you have what you think to be a potential goldmine, you still have to put in the long hard hours of work to make your site a success. It seemed a wonderful idea to launch Win a Resort, with its once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity, but we were completely on our own. No one had done anything like raffling a whole resort on the Internet, let alone a luxury boutique resort on a tropical island in the South Pacific. Though we had no competition, we had buyer resistance. The prize of Seachange Lodge Resort was too good to betrue . It had to be another Internet scam. Keenly we built the number one version. It was in a simple blog format, but it worked quite well. We managed to get it rise to a Google page ranking of 3 just three months after launch. We were so proud of what we had achieved, that we decided it was time to start to rebuild a new stand-alone site in Dream weaver. This was quite a challenge all on its own. Of course, as with most sites which are rebuilt, our page ranking dramatically disappeared. There one day, gone the next. At the same time the Merchant Bank which processed the credit cards, was caught in the USA financial fall out . For three and a half horrifying months, it was offline. There could be no tickets sold and we were never actually sure the bank would come back . We were deemed to be a high risk, as we were selling Blue Moon Opportunity raffle tickets on the Internet. Very few companies will process credit cards for what they incorrectly class as being a lottery. The word was out. Everybody was saying our project Win a Resort had died. Then three things happened. We regained our spot of page rank 3 on Goggle, the merchant bank came back online and our traffic stats went through the roof because of our SEO work. Our stats show that Yahoo, Google and MSN Search Engine Spiders are all over us, picking up our fresh material as soon as we post it in a variety of ways. So the golden rule is: create traffic, Create Traffic and CREATE TRAFFIC. There is no substitute for great content, constantly put out on the Net. Don't waste your money trying to buy you way up the ratings, do it through GREAT CONTENT. The final point to all this is that you need to dare to dream and dare to DREAM BIG. You need to fight passionately for that vision and DON'T QUIT. Put in the long hard hours and you too will take your rightful place among the successful entrepreneurs of the Internet.
