 Google Site Maps

Internet MarketingGoogle has "suggested" that sites use it's Sitemap Protocol which allows you to inform search engines about URLs on your websites that are available for crawling. And when the largest search engine talks we listen because we want as many free visitors as we can get (although they dont guarantee any).

 Track your site stats

Internet MarketingThere are many free tools out there to track your page stats, some are better (ms analysis) than others. I've never found any to be perfect.

Google Analytics (which it bought from Urchin Software) is now free- it used to cost $200/month ($695/month before that). If it's anything like google's other products it should be pretty good.

 Selling Your Book Online

Internet Marketingtag writes: by Ryan Orr

Selling Your Book Online
Bookwired.com Tutorial

You are not happy with your publishers efforts to sell your book. If you are a using a print on demand company (POD), you are even in worse shape. Most of the cost of the book, which is less than 50% of what they charge you, goes back to them in profits. You are left with a book to sell, and you do not make any money doing it. You can make money if you charge way over the amount they charge you, and make it inaccessible for the average person.

 Tell your visitors about your site

Internet MarketingI notice that a lot of PHP-Nuke web sites dont tell you about themselves anywhere on their site. How is a user supposed to know that this is a module developer so they should look in the download section (a project page module would be good for this.)?

     Increasing your traffic by giving your website visitors more content

    Internet MarketingThere are three ways to get users to come to your site and keep them coming back: content, content, and content. Gizmos like sweepstakes and a nice design may get people to look at your site, but without content they'll never return. SEO optimization may get you free traffic but they won't stay without quality content.
