Battle Tested Web Design Secrets That Will Boost Your Profits
By Mark A. Abrahams

Knowing how to design an effective website is one of the most important skills that you need to do. If you are not highly skilled as a graphic designer I suggest that you purchase a professional template and make changes to it yourself. This will give you the freedom of trying different things as you go along.

The most important part is to have a web page that loads under 10 seconds. Most people will abandon a web page if it takes too long to load. All these fancy sites that use flash are very ineffective to convert visitors into sales. Your primary goal should be to improve your conversion so that you get the maximum return on investment.

It is very important that you do keyword research and optimize your website for high traffic keywords with very little competition. I remember when Stompernet was launched they did a case study of how Andy Jenkins went from zero to 11,000 dollars a month using natural search engine listings for his Wedding Favours site. Two months later he was doing over 20,000 dollars a month. I am sure that this gives you an idea of how important targeted traffic is to your website. He did this by optimizing all the content for his site based on the research that he did using keyword tools.

I also suggest that you focus on a small niche. If you build a website that is too general less people will buy the products that you are selling. So for example if you have a golf site you can focus on the golf swing and sell an ebook concerning this. This is just an idea to show how important it is to have a unique angle on whatever you are doing.

Finally, use a colour scheme that is easy on the eye. I see so many websites that are difficult to read and this will definitely hurt sales.

Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?
