Insurance Quote Auto Online

Now for the good stuff... You need to look at every possible way your website can make you money and put them in order from the highest possible return to the lowest. You can research affiliate programs, referal programs, pay-per-click programs, email harvesting, and anything else you can think of or come across.
Once you have your list in order this will be the order in which you push these services to your surfers. For example, if you have a website for online auto insurance and you find an affiliate program who will pay you $10 per online auto insurance quote, you want to push them the most. You may find an adult website who's willing to pay you $50 for a signup, but obviously the traffic your website is going to attract isn't going to convert very well in the adult arena. You need to stick to your niche.
Then as you scroll down your website you can begin to push a lesser paying program to try and capture some revenue incase the surfer didn't click your main money maker at the top and so on and so forth. You will probably end up putting some pay per click ads such as Google Adsense at the bottom of your web page to try and recover a few cents that you may have spent trying to get that person to your website in the first place. You can find several types of affiliate programs at Commission Junction.

Search engine traffic is the best type of traffic. You don't get people who just ended up at your site by an unsuspected popup ad or even worse a redirect. That just eats up bandwidth and costs you money. You want targeted traffic who are looking for the service you are offering. Those are the ones who will convert into leads which in turn gets you paid!

The internet is now a major part of any business. With this said, businesses will take part of their advertising budget and market their websites via TV commercials, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ad campaigns, email marketing, print media, radio ads, etc... Basically, theres a lot of competition.

So how do you compete in this cluster fuck called the internet? Think outside the box!

Come up with a good list of keywords/keyphrases that could still capture the audience your looking for, but not cost you the big bucks of the general keywords all the big boys are competing for.

Optimize your website with these keywords/keyphrases and you will also get naturally listed and ranked highly outside of your PPC ads and these don't cost you a penny!

How do you research keywords?

You will first need to setup a Google Adwords account and a Yahoo Search Marketing account.  Both companies offer a variety of keyword selection tools to help you narrow down your search. They even have tools that will suggest alternate keywords for you and give you an idea of how many searches are done daily on those words/phrases. Find words that don't have a lot of advertiser competition on them and a decent amount of search's and start making your list.

Finding a good domain name these days is about as hard as winning the lottery. Unless you're willing to pay and arm and a leg to buy a name from someone, finding a name thats not registered and under 20 characters can be quite a task.

Rule #1: You must have a dot COM.

I don't like using any other extensions unless its a dot ORG or dot EDU(I'll go into further detail on why in a later post). What you are trying to do with your website is establish some sort of comfort and peace of mind for people who are landing on your pages. You must present yourself as a reputable and dependable source for what ever it is you are advertising for people to interact with your website. Having a good dot COM is the first step in starting a successful online business.

Be Creative! Come up with a list of keywords that relate to your website's content and try to put them together in a way that makes sense. For example, insurancequoteauto.com or liabilityauto.com. While it may be a hard name for someone to type in, its just as easy to click on as insurance.com. Remember, most of your visitors are going to be clicking through.

I use the bulk register feature on Godaddy.com to search for available domains. You can also use PC Names which has some cool features to find available domains. You can type in a bunch at once to see which ones are available. If you want to purchase a domain from someone else, here are a few websites you can search domains for sale.

 

Be Sneaky! I know it sounds bad, but as long as its legal, its fair game. For example, theres an insurance company called 21st Century. I own century21auto.com. I'm not breaking any laws or infringing on any copyrights, but I may come up in SERP's (search engine result pages) for the search term "21 century auto insurance."
