Website design is a lot of hard work. Making regular, consistent and fantastic content for your website is a lot harder than most people imagine. Therefore most web designers don’t have the time to create nifty gadgets and applications for their site that will keep people interested. However, there is definitely hope for these people. Applications are available to download, for free (or for a price if you really want to pay), that you can use on your own web site.

The benefit of these readymade applications is that they are generally good quality and bug free; there is a vast number to choose from so you can discard the ones you are not interested in and just use the ones you want. Because of the large number you can also change them around regularly and keep visitors to your site excited and coming back regularly to see what has changed or been added. There are also usually some comments or feedback from other users of these applications. This means that theowner of the site can be confident on the value that the application is going to add to their site.

There are many readymade applications and these include, but are not limited to,

• Polls
• Embedded YouTube videos
• RSS Feeds
• Bulletin Boards
• Chat rooms
• Image Galleries
• Video Galleries
• File storage
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Games

And there are so many more.

The first application that you should add to your site is a blog where you can publish articles and also where people can leave comments. Not only does this allow the user to interact with you (and of course, you with the user) but it also allows an area where you can help people with backlinking. This means that people can put their own website addresses in the comments section and improve their SEO ranking with search engines. Naturally, this means that you can navigate to their site and backlink your own site on theirs and increase your own ranking.

Readymade applications will help increase traffic to your website. RSS feeds can keep people informed about any changes to your site so you can keep grabbing their attention without them having to come visit your site. But giving people the option to share the site with their friends using Facebook, Twitter, Google, Digg, Yahoo or a host of other applications you are enabling users to spread the word about your website and therefore also increase the traffic. People are much more likely to visit a site if it has been recommended to them by their friends.

Using readymade applications can also give the owner of a website a great way to get new ideas for their site. By browsing everything out there, the web owner can think of different ways to design his or her site and to learn how to make their site much more popular. Using applications is also a way to save a lot of time by avoiding having to rewrite something that may already be available on-line.

Itunes and iPhone are products designed by Apple Inc. that have become instantly and insanely popular with a wide variety of people. One of Apple’s key characteristics is that they are so appealing to such a wide range of people, from teenagers to businessmen, from housewives to grandparents.

Some of the key features of the Apple range, which includes the iPod, the iPhone, the Macbook and the iPad are as follows…

Integration is one of the key selling points of the Apple range. Apple products are very easy to integrate with one another and iTunes can run on any of the Apple platforms with one profile. Once you have a song or product downloaded through iTunes, it is available on all the products that are mentioned above.

This integration makes the products exceptionally easy to use. The software is the same whether you are using the Macbook or the iPhone. The ease of use of all the products is a great selling point at this is exceptionally popular with people who want to just enjoy the products without knowing too much about how they work and so forth. To use an Apple product, you can simple switch it on and start using it. The commands are intuitive and can be learned quickly by trial and error.

The apple phenomenon began with the iPod in 2001. The first real portable player of digital content, the iPod became exceptionally popular and resurrected Apple from the dire circumstances they found themselves in at the time. By using the popularity of the iPod, Apple has not only upgraded and improved the iPod but has ridden the wave of their success and may even have improved on that success with the iPhone.

Similar in concept to the iPod, the iPhone is incredibly easy to use. A large, friendly interface that readily synchronizes with other products (some even not made by Apple) ensure the popularity of the phone. Applications can also be written for the iPhone and downloaded from the iStore, another exceptionally clever innovation by Apple.

The iStore is an online shopping website that is easily accessed using iTunes or the internet. Exceptional content, including music, eBooks and audio books, at reasonable prices are readily available to Apple members. This content can be downloaded very easily to any of the Apple devices using iTunes. Many people do not realise that there is also a lot of freely available content in the store and this includes research materials, books, software and music.

This “one-stop-shop” has made shopping for music exceptionally easy and convenient and it is this, as well as a great product that is driving people to become Apple fans. Apple cleverly made iTunes available on other platforms such as Windows. Although you may be a Windows fan you can still access the iStore by using iTunes which has exactly the same look and feel of the Apple version. Perhaps this is Apple’s sneaky way to subvert fans of other platforms to becoming fans of Apple.

    Blackberries are very popular devices in the cell phone industry these days. A Blackberry is essentially a cell phone developed by Research In Motion (RIM). It combines the usefulness of having a phone and a PDA all in one. In the Blackberry development, RIM have developed many very useful application including BlackBerry Messenger, Facebook, Google Quick Search and Windows Live Messenger to name a few. They range from purely functional to absolutely fun.  What many are not aware of is the fact that you too can develop your own blackberry applications. It’s easier than you think!     You may require a special application for your organization which is only applicable to you and your organization. There would not be a market for Rim to design these personal applications so they give programmers the permission and tools to develop their own software for these cell phones.  As Blackberry uses Java you can easily develop any application that you could imagine.   As a first step it would probably be best to go to the developer labs on the Blackberry website. This ‘laboratory’ will assist to get you get started with developing applications and also offers hands-on exercises for beginners in developing applications for your Blackberry.     You need to have the Java 2 Platform SDK installed on your personal computer. This is available on the Sun website. Next you need to download and install the BlackBerry Java Development Environment (JDE) onto your computer. The JDE is essentially a simulation tool specifically designed for creating Java Micro Edition applications for BlackBerry. The next step is sitting down and writing the code for the application in Java.     Once you have completed the programming of the codes then you need to develop your user interface where you design a customized look for the application you are developing. Finally Download the BlackBerry MDS Studio which assists you in creating the wireless applications. Essentially the BlackBerry MDS Studio allows organizations to deliver their data wirelessly using the push technology. Once completed you need to install your application onto your Blackberry device and then test your application out. Once application has been installed on the BlackBerry then the Blackberry does not need to connect to the personal computer.     Possibilities for application software for your BlackBerry are as endless as your imagination. You therefore need to be specific in knowing exactly what you want from the application before you begin designing the program. Once you have designed and installed your application and you know that it is fully operational you have the option of sharing it with the BlackBerry community all over the world by uploading your application software onto one of the BlackBerry App websites.     If you do not know how to program, you can also download many free applications online. There are also applications which you may be required to purchase before you can use.  The advantage is that these applications have been tried and tested by other programmers however the disadvantage is that the ability to change the application to fit your need may be very limited if you buy an off-the shelf product.      

You will get a certain amount of web site traffic almost immediately once you have finished optimizing all of your web site’s pages. On-page optimization is a process that should begin with learning which keywords will be most effective. Obtaining and using those keywords in titles, descriptions, headers and URLs is the next step. The best example of this exact process is found in content development.

Once your content is generated, you’ll want to promote your keywords to get web site traffic. In my initial research and use of Google AdWords, I discovered that my keywords “get website traffic” have 240 searches per day. I also noted that the keywords “more web traffic” have 91 searches per day. These are not total searches per keywords but are specific to the top-ranked website in Google. So my goal is always to find the keywords that will enable me to achieve a number one ranking.

Now when optimizing I use these keywords in the URL of the relevant page and in its title, description and header – not just as part of the content, but in its page source as well. I have chosen to use the two keywords interchangeably in these areas. Later on I will write more content with each keyword specifically.

 
To enhance these on-page optimization efforts, I will also “spin” this content into additional content and use it as a “lens” in Squidoo, Hubpages, Blogger or Weebly. I do this simply because these sites are popular and observed by Google. If I fine tune my lenses properly, they will achieve ranking with Google and other search engines. Then I will have more web traffic by simply adding my content to these highly popular blogs. An added bonus – Squidoo pages even have built-in tracking so you can gain some good intelligence on your visitors.

Notice that at the end of this short content I was also able to advertise my website. Perhaps Google and other search engines will send me a back link once this lens is discovered. This will help my web site ranking and increase this lens’ visibility. Ultimately, whatever method you use to get more web traffic, keep in mind that it is better than doing nothing at all.

Google is looking for content all the time. Every 15 days you need to have new content for your site. If you don’t, your site ranking will begin to regress. Ten million new keywords are added to Google every 3 months. Try to write new content based on those keywords. Remember, it is vital that you continue to promote your website through content or Web 2.0 lenses like those offered by Squidoo.

All small, medium and large businesses have some dependency on website traffic. Website traffic, and ultimately its conversion to real dollars, is vital to the survival of the website and possibly the business itself.

According to many marketing gurus, your chances of converting a visitor into an actual client is only one or two percent. This means that from 100 unique visitors maybe one or two of them will actually move forward with your service or product. And not only that, the more expensive your product or service, the longer the visitor to client conversion will take. In other words, it is easier to have a client buy a nine dollar product or service than a nineteen dollar product or service than a ninety-nine dollar product or service and so on.

The higher the price tag, the more content, especially high-performing content, needs to be on hand to entice the visitor to buy. Giving the visitor some real world facts about the general service or product offered is very important.

Finally, on the conversion page there must be compelling evidence and urgency to tell visitors why they should take action and subscribe to your product or service. This should be fantastic testimony sharing with visitors why they should buy from you instead of the thousands of other companies that may offer the exact same product or service.

Website traffic is golden and using the opportunity to give the visitor incredible, unique content that will compel the visitor to pull the trigger and buy your product or service requires constant fine tuning of your content. In the end, most of your site’s visitors are simply looking for information. So the more powerful and impactful your information is, the greater your chances that it will grab the visitor and grant you more time to close the deal. The more time a visitor spends on your site, the more chances you will have to convert that visitor to a real paying client. Again, highly impactful content has tremendous value to your visitors.

It also has great value to Google. Better content will eventually get you better site rankings. This will result in more and more visitors. But Google is not the only way to spread your site across the web. Your visitors can do this for you too by using social media such as Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon and Mixx to promote your product or service. So be sure to sign up for these social media triggers to make it easy for people to make your site popular.
