How To Unlock Links In Your Self-Help Website Operations And Maintenance

By Joan Rivera


If you want your self-help seminar information website to remain a success, you need to dedicate yourself to spending the time and effort necessary to maintaining your site itself. Not adding new content on a consistent basis is a sure way to see those traffic numbers drop. We've put together some helpful suggestions for how you can grab a bigger share of the market and build up your rate of site hits.

Ad banners and links are certainly beneficial to you-they bring in extra income, but a user will be turned off by an over abundance of colorful ads and blinking buttons that take the focus away from the content of your page. Try to keep the ads you place minimal; the revenue from them will never equal that of the guests you have.

To have a quality self-help seminar information website, you have to have quality images. Clip art is ok for your high school paper, but they're low quality images and on your website that's worse than no images. Use custom images that are relevant to your site. It's even better if you take the photographs yourself and put them up to give it a more personal touch.

Making the sites objective well known to others is very fundamental. The reason as to why they should be doing business with you should be clearly explained in your landing page. If they are clearly shown the benefits, then they will remain for long in your site.

Make sure you proofread your material thoroughly before publishing it on your site. Spell check is a blessing and a curse, because while it can catch a lot of grammatical and spelling errors, it can often miss errors that create a word other than the one you intended, and it's a nightmare when using names. Spelling errors are a pet peeve for many, and leaving them on your site will diminish your credibility.

Your social media profiles should always be buzzing whenever you load new content onto your site. Tweet, Facebook update, and post on any other social media to alert your users and fans to the update. You can gain hundreds of views with only seconds of work with the magic of social media.

Keep your users coming back by regularly updating your content and providing the best information. Keep new information coming in and get rid of old information as soon as it's outdated. Keep users interested by providing new and interesting information as often as you can.

If you frequently update your blog, allow users to sign up for your email digest that shows them all the top stories from the past week or so. Your users can keep up with your site and know when articles of particular interest have been written. This also adds to your contact list.
