Effective Marketing of a Small Business Online
by: Mary Aldoseri
The selling of products/services online all require one ESSENTIAL ingredient : TRAFFIC. Marketing a small
business online faces greater challenges such as manpower and budget. However there are some great tools on
the market that can effectively improve traffic to your site or affiliate site.

Investing in a good keyword tool is essential for online and offline marketing. A keyword tool can be used to
write copy, find niche specific competitive keywords and to plan advertising. Why you may be asking? A
good keyword tool can determine what and why people are searching for in relation to your product.
Wordtracker is the choice of the professional marketer. What I liked about this company, is they provide a
FREE keyword-guide which will alter how you market on and offline. If your budget is tight they offer
membership for 1 day or 1 month. Or you can look at some of the excellent FREE TOOLS on the market.

A popular technique used by many in the affiliate marketing field is building optimsed pages that refer the
visitor to the main affiliate site. This technique can be applied to marketing a small business online. There are
several software products on the market that will build optimised pages for your main site. Two I particularly
like are Traffic Panther and Traffic Hurricane. I personally use Traffic Panther as I found the ease of setting up
the software easier with them. They both offer excellent customer support, even to free users. However the
Hurricane creates 1000's of optimised pages for your site whereas the Panther only creates 25 per project.
Bear in mind the engines can drop your site if they think you are spamming.

Both introduce the technology of RSS, but the Traffic Panther introduces the small business to the power of
marketing using Blogs. And how they can be beneficial to your business. So whether you are an attorney
marketing your services, selling childrens books online or looking for the secrets of successful network
marketing,these techniques can be beneficial to your business online. With these tools you can firtly learn more
about your potential customers and then how to get those customers to your sites.
