Hi,
I'm afraid that what I have to say will upset you because your Web site is not very good. Here's why:
1. Big black sq on home page
2. Landing page not good
3. Too few pages
4. Not you own web site
5. No way to SEO
6. Landing page not attractive
7. No compelling reason to click
8. Is this Network Marketing?
9. There are better ways to build your Network Marketing business
10. You will never get the SEs to spider your website
11. Not enough pages and content
12. You need a landing page with a snappy sales letter
13. This Web site is a waste of time
14. Get your own web site if you want traffic

An SE is a major search engine like Google. You do not have enough quality content (information) on you web site.

Here is the html code for your web site:


You will notice that you have no info in keywords. Keywords are critical for getting visitors to your web site. Search engines (SEs) use keywords to send people to your website. You have none. Your mega tags are insufficent or non-existant.

The HTML code uses frames and framesets. SEs do not like them and you should convert them to tables or divs. Ideally you need to find a better web site builder software - the one you have stinks - get rid of Yahoo, it is full of software bugs and only allows a few pages of content.

Sorry, you will need at least 30 pages before the SE will even know you exist and those pages should be full of relevant keywords. Go here for keyword analysis: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal.

Once you have the relevant keywords and you sprinkle them through the content on each page, the SEs will begin to spider (crawl) your Web site.

One way to find out how your Web site stands vs. 65 million active web sites is to use Alexa. An Alexa rank of 500,000 or under is good. Go here for Alexa rank: http://traffic-test.sitesell.com/waltera1.html. Next, you need to set up links to other web sites. The SEs like that, but don't attempt to do that until you have 20 or 30 pages on your web site..

Look at all the ways to advertise your website for free. Blogs, forums-get an account for a forum, you put your website address in the forum profile. Do not advertise the site name directly in the forum . You post responses in the forums of the subject you are interested in. When people like what you have to say, the will look at your profile and see your website there. Then you won't get kicked out of the forum. Find forums related to the subject you are interested in. Five is good. Then post articles and responses 5x in each one everyday. These posts get picked up by the search engines. The more posts you make, the better the chance of getting your site listed and others viewing your site. Consistancy is the key. Do it every day. Take 1-2 hours each day and you will see results. http://www.residualincomes.ws

Answer 3

First, advertise your Web site to Web search engines that index the Web, such as Yahoo, Lycos, WebCrawler, and InfoSeek. The actual registration process can be deceptively simple. A service called SubmitIt! (http://www.submit-it.com) provides a way to submit information to approximately 15 of the most important indexes. If you do this late at night when Internet traffic is at its lowest, you can transmit your business's on-line address and description to all of these within three-quarters of an hour. Done right, a person who is seeking a consulting engineer in Northern California with experience in large electrical systems will quickly locate your name. Widget customers will be able to pick you out from the increasing crowd of on-line vendors.

Answer 4

Hi,

Get traffic! You could get traffic to your site by joining related forums, which means you should be talking/meeting people who are interested on what you are selling. The thing here is that you should build your own community by taking to the right people on the right places.

Also, you may want to try to submit your url/link to search engines and directories so people would know your site once they do their search. Most of these directories and seach engines are free anyway.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Grate crayons on a fine grater. Grate a lot of them! Use colors appropriate for whatever theme or season you're using. Put the grated crayons in muffin cups or something similar. Cut two pieces of 12" x 12" waxed paper for each kid. Have the kids pick leaves, flowers, seeds or whatever, or use cut-out shapes appropriate to the theme, or stickers. Have them lay a few seeds or stickers on one sheet of waxed paper, then sprinkle with crayon gratings. (Use just a few leaves, and a little crayon. They will spread out, and you want to see through it.) Just a little crayon, in various colors. Then you or a helper place the other sheet on top, and iron with a warm iron. Punch a hole on top (Hanging them like a diamond shape is nice), add a piece of yarn, and hang in a window! OR Using coffee filters (round ones folded in half, or cone shaped ones) colored with sponges and water colors, use pipe cleaners to make butterflies. Do about three butterflies for each kid, then tie with yard or string to a stick from outdoors. Hang them at different lengths, then add more string to hang the whole thing. Lovely, fun and easy. OR Kids paint or color paper plates, then a grownup cuts them in a spiral. (Cut a bit of a bulge for a head in the center.) Voila! Snakes! These can be hung, too.
