Have a lot of people leaving your site too fast ? Your high bounce rates could be due to a slow loading website. People these days simply don’t wait for 5 or 10 seconds for a page to load.  A slow loading page affects everything else you do . You can say bye bye to those sales and leads. Therefore it is important that you optimize your websites. Lets forget usability or anything else that would affect sales. We’re going to concentrate on making your site more responsive i.e load faster. Want another reason ? Okay then .

The next few blog posts are going to be all about Website and Blog Optimization. First we’ll begin with Yslow. We’re going to take it a bit further than that in later blog posts. But first YSlow.

Today is the simplest part . Installing Yslow and related Components.

Once all these are installed , You are now ready to run Yslow. Restart your FireFox Browser.

You should see something like the picture below at the bottom right of your firefox browser.

You’ve undoubtedly seen people on Twitter with 20k or more followers.

Like any other somewhat sane person I have too.

Saw them and said to myself  ”Holy Cow”. That’s a lot of followers.

Wonder what the clicks on those accounts are like.

Yes, you can buy twitter followers. Its an extremely good idea if you’re looking to

make an income.You can do a search using the term in any search engine. That will

present you with a list of web sites.

Some of the better known web sites include Twitter Promoter and uSocial.

uSocial

Let’s take a look at uSocial http://usocial.net/twitter_marketing/

This is a site that has been infamous for buying votes on several social sites such as Digg,

Delicious and others.Now they are offering followers for sale in various amounts. From 1,000 to

over 100,000 and everything in between, this site will help you to get followers for your list.

No matter what your need, this site has what you need to make your Twitter following rapidly grow

at a reasonable price. They also have a Twitter Marketing Service which promotes your product to their list.

The other site of note to buy twitter followers from is Twitter Promoter http://www.twitterpromoter.com/.

This site too is one to go to when you want to purchase followers for your Twitter account and don’t

have the time to line them up the old fashioned way.

When time is of the essence and you need followers now, your best bet would be to buy twitter followers so

quick kick-start. This strategy definitely is worth serious consideration.

Never let Fear or Doubt enter your mind. There is nothing you need to succeed except the power of your own mind.

– Andreas Ohrt ( www.MindPowerNews.com )

Congratulations ! You have made it to Part Two . What I’m discussing can be used to make any page. You don’t have to be designing Squeeze Pages alone with it. Starting from where we left off.

So we were discussing a favourite page of mine. Now I’d like to use it . All I have to do is Save it to my computer and then open it in Kompozer.

To see it click here. <- This leads to the readme.html wordpress page. I’m using it as an example.

Save it to your computer if you haven’t. Just to better understand the example. Hopefully you’ve downloaded KompoZer. If you haven’t its Free and you’ll need it. Download it here.

Now a lot of squeeze pages and sales pages we come across in Internet Marketing have that border like in the wordpress readme page. A lot of things like font size of the headings , the paragraph size are coded into a .css file.

Don’t worry its not going to get too complicated. Atleast not super duper complicated.

A lot of times there are things you’d have to repeat. Eg. You’d want your heading to be huge. You’d want a sub heading to be another font and slightly less that the 1st heading. Instead of coding all this stuff over and over when the need arises, they put that stuff into a .css file. The reason I mention this is because almost all squeeze pages and sales pages I’ve come across have this. So you’d have to get the .css file as well. If you chose Webpage Complete when saving the Page, you shouldn’t have any problems.

Now here is the Brain Dead part. Instead of writing a whole Sales Page or Squeeze Page, I’ll be copy pasting from another popular awesome Page. I’m doing this only as an example and am not suggesting you literally rip off stuff word for word. It merely makes it easier to explain and understand.

The above is a snapshot of what I’ve done with it . This is only an example. You can view it here. I’ve left some parts of the original wordpress readme page and Copy pasted stuff from Jeff Johnson’s Underground Training Lab. I did this merely to show you. I wouldn’t leave the WordPress logo up there if I were to actually use it , but you get the Point.

There’s not much to explain in terms of using it. All you have to do is edit it in KompoZer  ,add the form and do what you want to the page.

When Uploading it into your hosting account, you will have to upload the .css file. If you had saved the page correctly you should a folder saying “name_files”. Where name refers to name of the webpage you just saved. When uploading you will need to upload that folder.

Well actually you won’t need everything in the folder. The folder probably contains the logo and other images. It will also include a .css file  . The reason I’m asking you to upload the whole folder is because in the webpage has a link to the .css file. The css file tells the page what to look like and what fonts to use etc. Uploading the whole folder is easier on the Brain.

NOTE – The folder won’t automatically be uploaded when you upload the page to your hosting account. That is why you are doing this in the first place.

You may remove the images from the folder you won’t use. Leave the .css file and anything else you need . Then upload the folder. That should work fine too.

You can get some really good looking results this way.

As always

Have a Great Day !

The Pygmalion Effect

Yes , Its one of those Days . The title sounds ridiculously mysterious. Doesn’t It. In many ways it is. Some people call it Pygmalion and some don’t call it anything . They just describe the Effect . But mention it they always do.

You may have read or heard about the well quoted experiments that were conducted with School Children entering a new Class.

Before the Year Started, the teacher was informed that out of a group 25 students, 5 in particular were outstandingly intelligent and would lead the class by leaps and bounds. In truth, however , the 5 students were picked at random and were no different intellectually than anyone else in the group.

But as the year went on, the 5 students brought to the teacher’s attention far surpassed everyone else in the group. In fact, it was almost embarrassing how far ahead those 5 students were at the end of the school year.

This experiment has come to be known as ” The Pygmalion Effect”

What it basically means is that Expectation alters behaviour and experience. If you expect to have fun, you’ll have a lot more fun than if you expect to be bored.  You’ll do a lot better at Internet Marketing or anything else if you expect to Succeed. If not you also won’t put in enough effort to succeed.

You’re going to have a ridiculously Great Day .
