keywords, persona, rev splitUsers frequently criticize difficult navigation in website usability surveys. If visitors can't find what they're looking for, they will bail out of your website and look elsewhere. Your site design should allow your visitors to get where they want to go quickly and easily with a minimum number of clicks. Avoid using your internal company jargon, which visitors may not understand. Feature a consistent integrated navigation design using popular conventions. Write compelling, benefit-oriented link text to encourage visitors to click to your products or services. Longer link text has been shown to convert better than shorter link text.
Your logo is often the first impression that your visitors have of your company. Does your logo present your company as expert and trustworthy? How do you know? It helps to have an extensive background and training in commercial art and psychology.The psychology behind credibility-based logos is to encourage the acceptance of messages that motivate consumers to take action. Logos lend credibility to the company's main message. So, if the source of a message is perceived to be credible and trustworthy (partly as a result of your logo design), the messages your company transmits will be more influential. In persuasive communication theory this is called source credibility.Be credibility-based. It must incorporate attributes—such as competent, knowledgeable, trustworthy, cutting-edge, conservative, dynamic, exciting, traditional, forward-thinking, and innovation—that are specific to the company.Symbolize the company's core competency.Be designed to communicate that the company is trustworthy.Be planned in content and in design form.Use a symbolover, or next to, or to the left of the company name.Be prominent in application and be frequently and consistently used.Have a graphical symbol and name that work together.
A tagline or a brief branding slogan should be placed near your logo. A perfectly-formed tagline should fulfil several criteria. Your tagline should be an abbreviated version of your USP that links the slogan to your brand.Just pull out three!First, it should be memorable. A good tagline should include a key benefitIn addition, a good tagline should differentiate the brandnot be usable by a competitor: ecall the brand name.impart positive feelings about the brand:Your slogan, your logo, and your brand name are three key elements that identify your brand. Together they create brand equity, which differentiates how consumers respond to your marketing efforts. A higher differential increases what consumers know about your brand, allowing you to charge a premium for your offerings.Brand names are rarely changed, whereas logos and taglines often change over time as your company evolves. Ideally, taglines should be designed for future expansion. Good slogans:Communicate the biggest benefit that your product providesAre simple yet memorableUse active voice, with the adverb near the verb for more impactDifferentiate your brandLink your slogan to your brand nameAre designed for future expansionEmbrace ambiguity (puns and other wordplay, for example, are inexact but memorable)Prime your desired attributesJump-start recall with jingles

In short, sell more to your existing customers. The most common tactics used here are the basics of cross-selland up-sell.2. Loyalty is also making sure you don’t lose existing customer.Customer education on products purchased – Customers tend to “leave” because of another product or service that has a feature which they believe you do not have, even if you do. If you have a “moderately complex” product or service, it can be well worthwhile to educate customers about itSaving customers who indicate that they no longer want the product/service. -Whether you know it or not, you’ve probably been through a “save team” or customer retention process. If you have ever asked to cancel your mobile phone contract, then it is almost certain that you have been put through to another department to process the cancellation. That department is normally a specialized Save team. Save teams are trained to keep customers and often have access to better offers and incentives to help the process along.Rewarding and recognizing customers for their ongoing business. - This pertains to the use of the now ubiquitous “loyalty program”. Improve you customer experience. - Customers often leave because of the experience they receive as customers. Continuously improving your customer experience is a key driver of long-term customer loyalty, and starts with putting in place a system to continuously gather customer feedback.3. Stop marketing to low value customers. – Ensure that you are not continuing to market to customers who cannot or will not buy more of your products and services.Move customers to lower cost channels. - This, if done well, can add substantial value to your business.Reduce the reliance on OTA’s

Now we’re going to intriduce a diWe think you need to put much more effort on the planning on content. Focus on planning and content up front – Ensure your USP is really a USP, get competitive keyword research performed to look for opportunities, undertake competitive analysis of businesses ranking for your keywords, plan a website structure/information architecture which aligns with your customer real questions, Write your content before your design is locked down.What that really means is you need clarity on what problems you are really solving for your customers at each buying.

Review intro and example
Penguin — April 24, 2012After weeks of speculation about an "Over-optimization penalty", Google finally rolled out the "Webspam Update", which was soon after dubbed "Penguin." Penguin adjusted a number of spam factors, including keyword stuffing, and impacted an estimated 3.1% of English queries.Panda/Farmer — February 23, 2011A major algorithm update hit sites hard, affecting up to 12% of search results (a number that came directly from Google). Panda seemed to crack down on thin content, content farms, sites with high ad-to-content ratios, and a number of other quality issues.
To boost click-through and conversion rates, place your most important links, forms, and calls to action in the first screen (i.e., above the fold). In an eye-tracking study of web pages, 76.5% of the users clicked on links above the fold, whereas the rest clicked on links below the fold
