 |
There are an estimated 360,985,492 Internet users in the world according to Internet World Stats. In North America, there are an estimated 95,354,000 Internet users. The Internet has simply become a staple in households all around the world. One of the main reasons people love the Internet is because it makes life convenient. You can go online and find a business listing much faster than you can with the traditional phone book. |
Why spend several minutes flipping through the page of the phone book reciting the alphabet to yourself when you can just "Google it." In addition to the shift towards Googling instead of using a phone book, people are also using the Internet to watch television, listen to the radio and even read the newspaper.
 |
The Internet also makes business more affordable for the online business owner. Building an ecommerce website is far less expensive than renting or buying a building, office, or retail space. |
Selling products on the Internet is one of the least expensive methods, allowing your online business the best opportunity to reach profit goals. Advertising the Internet business (website) is paramount to the success of all website ventures. As with any business, getting customers "in the door" is all about advertising.
While you can spend nearly any budget on advertising, with a website business you can leverage the free advertising available from being found in the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN/Live.com. In addition to this free search engine traffic, you can also leverage traditional print and television advertising to help send people directly to your website. Most importantly, remember that just because selling on the Internet can be more affordable than traditional bricks-and-morter retail operations, that doesn't mean that you should slack in the marketing department. You must market your web site in order to get attention from the 360,985,492 Internet users around the world. What's one of the best ways to reach these users? Through better search engine results!

Taking Selling on the Internet to the Next Level with Search Engine Optimization
No matter how good or poor the economy, search engine optimization is a must or you might as well not even have a website. Without optimizing for the search engines, your business's website will simply get lost on the web, sitting there looking pretty but not generating any income. This is where WebsiteForge can help. In good times and in bad, WebsiteForge's Website & Search Engine Optimization Technology works for you to generate the customers you are trying to attract.
WebsiteForge can prove their success as well. Take ShopBakersNook.com as an example. WebsiteForge has helped ShopBakersNook.com go from a "let's see what will happen" business to a million dollar company. In fact, just two years later, the site and business has seen so much success that they are now planning to start a half million dollar expansion in the spring.
ShopBakersNook.com is just one example of a business successfully selling on the Internet. Other sites, such as HeartOfMich.com, DiveProDiveGear.com, and PartsGuyUSA.com are all excellent examples of successes as well. Web sites such as these have increased their sales to $20,000 to $30,000 per month. Both company owners switched to WebsiteForge after seeing no sales for nearly two years with their previous web design company.
Successfully Selling On The Internet Means Keeping Up to Date
Just as search engine optimization is a vital component to an online business's success, keeping up to date with the latest technology is important as well. WebsiteForge is continually at the cutting edge of technology and taking advantage of all the latest developments and advancements. WebsiteForge constantly tests their websites for search engine friendliness.
As of January 2009, WebsiteForge was audited by an independent consultant for PCI compliance. Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is important for maintaining eCommerce websites and ensuring the integrity and security of credit card payment processing. As more and more monetary transactions take place on the web, it is crucial that websites and website designers remain PCI compliant to ensure the security of valuable information. Website designers are periodically audited to see if their systems are PCI compliant.
WebsiteForge continually upgrades their systems to remain in compliance so that not only do their customers feel safe, but their customers are ensured the utmost security and privacy as well.
Things to Consider When Starting Your Online Business
1. Is Your Site Easily Updated and Edited?
Many website designers will build you a website that has an excellent design, but you have to depend on the website designer to make changes. With WebsiteForge, your site comes with a True Content Management Tool that allows you to add/delete pages and add/delete products at any time of the day or night – without having to pay a website designer maintenance fees.
2. Do You Receive Unlimited Support?
With many website designers you either have to pay a maintenance or support fee to help you with common technological problems. WebsiteForge offers unlimited training, technical support, upgrades, updates, security, hosting, and more. Others will put up your site and just leave you there and charge you when you need assistance.
3. Does Your Website Designer Provide SEO Tools?
Many designers are great at design, but not so great at making search engine friendly websites. They know how to make a site look good, but don't know how to make it visible on the search engines. WebsiteForge provides organic search engine optimization tools that help get your company better results on Google, Yahoo, and MSN/Live.com.
4. How Fast Will Your Website Designer Have Your Site Up & Running?
A common situation that many people encounter is a website designer that takes several months to put up a five page website. Many designers do not know how to use eCommerce software and they have to painstakingly link pages by hand, which increases their workload and delays your project. WebsiteForge uses eCommerce software that will allow you to have a website up and running within weeks, not months.
5. How Experienced is Your Designer?
New website design companies pop-up every day, but the services they provide are limited to their knowledge of the industry. Your success is limited to their experience as well. WebsiteForge was created by Magnus Software, which has been in business since 1991.
Conclusion
WebsiteForge has been making it easy to sell products on the Internet since 1991. They have revolutionized the eCommerce website industry by creating websites that are easily indexed by the search engines making it easier for your customers to find you online and for you to generate sales and income. They bring to the table numerous years of experience as well as software resources that no other web development company has. In addition, they work directly with Google to ensure that you consistently rank high in the search engines, just like eBay and Amazon. They put you at the top with the big players in the online retail world and you profit as a result.
