Supercharged "Atomz" For
Your Website
Teacher: Jim
Daniels
I just filled another gaping
hole at my website. In the process I found a great new marketing
tool, and a slick way to learn "exactly" what my website visitors
are looking for...
Through the last few years I've
tried 3 or 4 different solutions to a nagging problem... how
to let users easily search through my site.
Each time I'd try a new service,
script or software program I'd run into a problem. Either the
searching was too slow, the search engine results were lousy
or it just plain didn't work.
Well I'm happy to report that
I finally found a permanent solution. My guess is that it will
be a great solution for many of you as well.
It is a slick, independently
hosted search solution for corporations, small businesses,
and individual web developers.... Atomz
With Atomz, absolutely anyone
can quickly and easily add a powerful search engine to any
Web site, and the service is free for sites with less than
500 pages. What's even better is it's fast! I got my own Atomz
search engine 100% up and running in minutes.
Actually, to put the Atomz engine
at your site, there's nothing to do but fill out a few forms,
decide what areas you want your visitors to be able to search
through and turn Atomz loose to index your pages. In seconds
it spits out html code for you to add to your pages. You paste
the code into any page you want a search form on, then upload
the page to your site. Bingo. Done.
You now have a powerful search
engine on your site and your visitors will love you for it!
What's nice is that there are no annoying ad banners shown
with your search results, just a small "Powered by Atomz.com" graphic.
But there's really much more
to Atomz than a great site search engine. It holds a marketing
value for savvy web marketers who really aim to please...
Now the Atomz fun starts...
As your visitors search your
site, Atomz logs what they enter and then creates reports for
you by day, week, and month. These reports let you understand
what visitors are looking for on your site. You can use this
information to improve your site or to further improve the
search results for your visitors.
For example, the top 15 searches
at my site the first week I had the Atomz search tool up were:
search engines
marketing plan
goto
jeeves
jim daniels
make money
direct email
domain registration
advertising
affiliate program
ebusiness
free publicity
marketing
shania twain
classified
So what does this report tell
me? Well for starters, the top four search words show me that
my articles on search engines and marketing maintenance have
brought lots of visitors to my site. That's still something
that lots of web marketers are interested in learning about
so I'll write more about it!
Next, many of the terms searched
on were exact matches to the keywords I bid on at goto.com.
Specifically, "make money" and "direct email" are keywords
I just increased the bids on at goto. It was nice to see those
efforts bring immediate visitors. It's also great to give these
surfers a quick search tool so that can find exactly what they're
looking for at my site as soon as they get there.
Next, the demand for information
on domain registration shows that lots of newbies are still
coming into my site. It's nice to be able to get them right
to my report on "how to select and register a domain name for
your business", which leads them to my domain name wizard.
Hey, this Atomz search tool is a great little marketing tool
for my domain registration services!
As I work my way down the list
I not only learn what my visitors are searching for, I learn
what my site is lacking. Over time, these reports will be invaluable
to me and my efforts to help my website visitors and BizWeb
eGazette subscribers who return to my site.
Lastly, I learned one more thing
from my Atomz reports... I may need to do a little research
on this Shania Twain person. ;-)
