How to Maintain High Traffic Websites   no comments

Posted at Nov 8, 2010 @ 5:07pm Web hosting

So, you’ve worked hard building your website. You’ve created tons of interesting, well-written content, optimized for SEO, and designed a stunning series of pages. Finally, all your effort has paid off with the one thing most people only dream of: traffic volume. Now that you have lots of visitors checking out your site, you have to be smart about how to keep them there. Keeping your content fresh and new is only one of the many challenges you now face. Consider each of the following ideas carefully. The success of your website depends on it!

Communication

In addition to plying your visitors with interesting articles, you need to keep in touch with them more closely. Start a mailing list and a site newsletter. Each time you have a new article, interview, top 10 list or review, let your audience know about it. Check out TurnKey Newsletter for a comprehensive newsletter platform with autoresponders, easy contact management and hundreds of great design templates.

Monetization

You don’t just want to have a website, you want to make money off it. There are many ways to do this when you have traffic, including: selling ad space, selling products and ebooks. But you have to be careful. These days, people are inundated with advertisements everywhere they look, and tend to feel alienated when a favorite site suddenly fills up with ads. You can keep your ads in one section only, like on your front page, and keep them off the rest of your site. You can also come up with clever alternatives to traditional banner advertising. Offer a few prime forum threads for paid ads. These can become extremely lucrative if you have a hopping forum, and they don’t impinge on the rest of the discussions. If you’re looking for a great ecommerce solution, check out TurnKey Website. This service offers complete store set-up as well as a huge selection of tools, apps, templates and value add-ons to give your site all the functionality you need for making money off of your blog.

Syndication

If you have a popular website, you probably already know about syndicating content. However, not all syndication tools are created equal. Make sure you choose one that can accommodate unlimited growth. Look for functionality: video, audio, ads and images. Your feed is one major way you connect with your audience so make sure it looks as slick as the rest of your site.

Monitoring

It doesn’t matter how hard you work at making your website interesting when your server is down. Chances are you’re too busy to be monitoring your site 24 hours a day. Check out TurnKey Monitoring, a complete 24×7 monitoring service (that’s completely free, I might add). TurnKey Monitoring will ping you if your site goes down, so you can relax and worry about other things.

Handling Spikes

With popular websites, traffic spikes are inevitable. If you post a particularly newsworthy article, or a review of a brand new product, your going to get lots of visitors… fast. It’s important to make sure your site infrastructure can handle the spike in traffic, so you’re not brought to your knees when you should be flying high. Purchasing a dedicated server is a safe and affordable solution—you’ll have lots of extra bandwidth and managed support if anything goes wrong. You’ll also have the peace of mind of knowing that your server is yours alone. There is no other content on there to slow you down, and you can add more space as you go.

TurnKey Website Arrives!   no comments

Posted at Oct 5, 2010 @ 12:34pm News

Today I am very excited to be able to announce our newest software-as-a-service solution: TurnKey Website! TurnKey Website is an easy-to-use website builder that will save businesses thousands of dollars in web design costs. It includes over 1,000 different design templates you can completely customize in minutes. It also comes with tons of web applications (like blog, SitePal, image gallery, guestbook, forum, feedback, RSS reader and more), traffic reports, a free domain name AND ecommerce shop pages! Of course, all of this is backed by our world-class 24×7 support.

But I’ve Never Made a Website Before!
For those of you who may feel a little bit timid about leaping into designing your own company website, I completely understand where you’re coming from. As a former small business owner myself, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed by both the cost of hiring a designer, and the steep learning curve of figuring out how to do it myself. I ended up spending many hours that I didn’t really have to design my site. In the end it was functional, but it wasn’t pretty, and my company’s reputation suffered. If I had had TurnKey Website back then, who knows how my business would have done!

Video Tutorials
If you have never used a website builder before, you will probably benefit from watching our short tutorials that demonstrate the software and illustrate, quickly and easily, how you can use it to build your own business website. Everything in TurnKey Website is customizable. You pick colors, include your logo and edit all the text. If you watch the tutorials and follow the easy step-by-step instructions, you will be amazed how much functionality you suddenly find at your fingertips.

The Highest Quality: Professional Results Every Time
The first time I tried TurnKey Website, I was shocked by the quality of the templates. They look extremely professional—in fact, many “professional” designers use similar templates for their projects—projects that bring in thousands of dollars for the designers. The only difference between those designers and you is that they know how to use the software! To be fair, a lot of the web design software out there is extremely convoluded and confusing, and it’s worth it to hire an expert—figuring it out yourself would be worth the money, and more! But TurnKey Website isn’t hard to figure out. It makes sense! In fact, you could learn it in 30 minutes and then turn around and sell your design services to the next guy! Seriously. It’s that easy and that good.

And There’s More
Beyond just the design of your website, TurnKey Website includes tons of added programs to build your online presence—from ecommerce tools to images, from blogging to flash intro pages. Once you understand the basics, you can set up an online store in minutes, and start taking credit card payments right away.

Give it a Shot
Try TurnKey Website today and we know you will be amazed with what you can do, and super pleased by the price tag (only $7.95/month). And with our free 30-day money back guarantee, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. How often does that happen?
