Have a great month and enjoy my tips below! 🙂

The importance of switching on Ads

This month I want to remind you that switching on Ads is very important to raise your revenue. I’ve noticed a lot of you have switched this feature off, I recommend you to turn it on not to miss out good revenue possibilities. To do so please choose Ads from the main menu, Edit ads, select the level, select the type of banner, here you can either check DF banners or if you have your own ones check “My own banners” and add your code in the space below.

Discounts and free ticket

Long tail keywords – low competition, higher conversions


Taking advantage of long tail keywords is something I would always advise a niche site owner to do, especially if you are targeting a localised area. Searching the term “dating” on Google gives you About 190,000,000 results which is A LOT of competition for your site, but “date a blonde woman in Brighton” dramatically reduces the results to 789,000 or “date a woman in Falmouth who is vegan” brings this down even further to 281,000 results.
There are many keyword tools out there available to help you find the perfect keywords for your site and the more research you can do, the better.

Focus

I am still heavily focusing on optimisation of my partner’s sites, going over pages and advising improvements to them to help increase conversions. A user will make a decision on what they see very quickly so they need to instantly like what they see. Content, imagery and layout is imperative. Sometimes even the smallest of changes can make a huge difference. Even the colours you use or the placement of your CTA button can have an impact! If you want me to look over your site(s), please contact me and I will happily review them for you.
