11 Things Every Successful Website Needs

So you've put together a spectacular website, and you're ready to go live on the Internet for the whole world to see. Not so fast there Bucky. In case you didn't know, there are a few essential requirements that every site needs to include in order to be successful.

Let's review, shall we:

1) Privacy Policy/Disclaimer: Now, I'm not a Lawyer and don't claim to be one, but these two documents should be standard issue for every site you have. People want to know how you're going to use their personal information, and a "privacy policy" does just that.

In today's litigious society you'll also need to include a disclaimer/terms of use page. This protects you and spells out to your visitors what they're agreeing to by using your website. If you don't know where to start in generating these documents, you'll find plenty of help online.

DMA Privacy Policy Generator
OECD Privacy Statement Generator
Google Adsense & other Ad Networks Privacy Policy Generator
Privacy Policy Generator
Free Site Disclaimer

This is not legal advice, and if you need help in this department, consult with a local attorney.

2) Contact Us Information: I can't tell you how many sites I've been to that fail to include a way to contact the owner. If you can't include a phone number, at the very least have an email address or a "contact us" form. By providing this information, you'll make your visitors feel more comfortable knowing there's a way to reach you should the need arise.

If you need a form and don't know how to create your own, try one of these free form services.

Freedback
Email Me

3) Search Box/Site Map: If your site is rather large, you'll also want to include a way to search, or have what is called a "site map". There are many ways to add a search function to your site, the easiest being to use Google's free service at- http://www.google.com/sitesearch/

or try PicoSearch.

A site map sounds technical, but it's just one web page that contains links to every page of your site, usually broken down by category. Here are some resources to help.

FreeFind

4) Google Analytics/Tracking System: Once your site is up and running you'll want to keep your eye on traffic.

Who's visiting your website, what pages are the most popular, where is the traffic coming from. All of these questions and more can be answered by using a good analytics program.

There are several ways to add a thorough tracking system to your site, but the easiest and one that won't cost you a dime is Google Analytics Once registered, you can add as many sites as you like all under one user ID and password. You'll be given some code to copy and paste on your pages. Simple, easy, and you're done.

5) Newsletter Sign Up/RSS Feed: There's an old saying that people won't buy from you the very first time they come to your website, so you need a way to stay in touch with them to bring them back again and again. By offering a newsletter, also known as an ezine, you'll be building a list of possible prospects which is invaluable to any site owner.

You'll find a multitude of free and low cost newsletter services online. It's up to you, depending on your needs and what you can afford. If you don't want to pay anything, my favorite free services are:

FreeAutoBot
Yahoo Groups

You can also offer an RSS feed for your newsletter, or updates to your blog or site. This makes it easy for others to keep up with your most recent posts. The best service for this is...

FeedBurner

6) Consistent Navigation: This might sound like a no brainer, but many folks get it wrong. No matter what type of menu system you decide upon, make sure it stays the same across the board on all pages of your site.

Your job is to guide your visitors through your website, making sure they always know where they are and how to get to where they need to go.

Web Page Mistakes

7) Search Engine Optimized Copy: At first glance you might not think this is so important, but trust me it is. You want your pages to rank well with the search engines and there are a few steps you can take to ensure this happens.

Each page of your website should be optimized for 2, or at the most 3 keywords/phrases. Weave the keywords into your titles and into the body of each page. You can also include them in your image titles, alt tags, even in the names you give your pages. Look at each page individually and decide what it's about, then optimize accordingly.

For help see:

MarketLeap
CopyBlogger

8) Social Media Share Button: With the popularity of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, you'd be foolish not to include an easy way for your content to be shared with others.

You'll find many free services that will give you the code you need to instantly add a "share button" to your web pages so that visitors can instantly share them with their friends.

To generate your own buttons see:

AddThis
TwitThis

9) Meta Tags: Some may tell you that meta tags are dead. Don't listen. Meta tags should be included in your HTML code at the top of every page. Many search engines will read them to pull a description to include in their search results.

Again, each page should be optimized separately and have a unique title, keywords, and description tags.

For help see:

AddMe Meta Tag Tool

10) Copyright Notice: Sounds simple but forgotten by many. All pages should include a copyright notice. If you don't want to have to update it manually every year, find a simple Javascript that will automatically do it for you. You'll find one such script at:

Uncle Jims

11) Trust Seals/Testimonials: I grouped these two items together as they both instil trust and confidence in your visitors. Remember, when someone comes to your website, they don't know who you are and if you're selling something, they may not feel comfortable giving out their credit card information. To help them feel more "warm and fuzzy", include trust seals for any organizations you belong to:

For example:

iCop
BBB
Honest E Online

Also, if you have testimonials from happy customers, or ezine subscribers, weave them into your site copy. People always love to hear that others have had a happy experience with your products/services. Make sure you get permission first from the testimonial writers before placing them on your website.

So there you have it -my short list of what every site needs to succeed online. Now that you're armed with this information, get out the magnifying glasses and take a close look at your own website to see what may be missing.

It's not hard to create a website, but for one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest, you need to include these important elements. When you launch your next site you want it to be successful, not average. So what are you waiting for? You've got a lot of work to do, so get busy.

Google Hot Trends Researcher Bot Sotware

What it does:
1) It goes to hot trends and gets the most recent 20 trends.
2) It takes these keywords and then checks the "keyword" results in Google to check competition.
3) It then takes these keywords and checks for monthly search results, if any.
4) It saves this as a .txt file.

Let it run and type in captcha if needed when it goes to the Google Keyword tool to get some data. When it has finished, you'll see a file called hottrends.txt in your "My Documents" folder. The data inside is divided into the following:

Keyword | Google Search Results "keyword" | Adwords Traffic Results

Might help some people to find niches/keywords to target. Probably a few bugs/problems. I just slapped it up quickly.

Massive URL Pinger (With 3k+ links)

Already has more than 3k links but you can use your own and throw them in. (You will see the needed format in the .txt file).

This can run multithreaded and if you have a very fast internet connection and good computer you can run it at a high amount of threads and it will ping your link super fast. Else you will see a high amount of errors.

But if you have slower internet connection leave it to 1 thread.

I still strongly suggest leaving it to 1 thread if you want the program to be 100% effective.

The SEO Competition Killer Method

Caveat: I in no way condone the use of the following method for gaining an unfair advantage over your competition or causing their sites any undue hardship. I am vehemently and morally opposed to this method if it is actually put to use. The following method is intended as a satirical parody of what many people do wrong when first building a new website and should be read between the lines as a "what not to do with your own website". But in the spirit of this forum, it is written black hat style.
Having said this though, purely for testing purposes if anyone has a website that they are willing to 'donate' (read: sacrifice) to this test, plus anyone proficient in Xrumer, any volunteers would I'm sure be much appreciated by the BHW community at large to see how Big G is acting at the moment.

The SEO competition killer method

The premise of this method is that Google has recently started sandboxing and de-indexing websites with a lot more rigour in recent times. It was quite easy to gain high SERP rankings even as recently as a year ago, by blasting new sites with a ton of backlinks, sitting back and watching the climb. Recently, many people who use even moderate to reserved backlinking strategies are finding themselves in the sandbox and those who push the limits are even being de-indexed with a lot more regularity. My theory here deviates slightly from the "blast your competition with backlinks and get them de-indexed" theory that has been bantered ad-finitum on this forum, as this is probably more targeted and a little more dirty.

Step One: Identify your targets on page one of SERP

This can be done when doing initial keyword research or in hindsight if you currently have a niche you are trying to rank in.

My theory is that the potential targets for this method will need to be websites that have not yet built history and trust with Google. When doing competition analysis I always look for 'holes' in page one of the SERPS anyway, to make sure I can potentially take that place. If you have competitors with high backlinks and more importantly high domain age, I hypothesise that this method will only work to your detriment if you try it on such sites. An old page (or even a new page) on an old domain already has established history and trust with Google, and any page that is currently ranking with a decent number of backlinks no matter how low their PR/Domain Age etc. have probably already taken a punishment at some stage and are now back in Google's trust books so this method could go either way. Using this method on any of your 'authority' competitors will only cement their place on page one and potentially block you out of the market.

The sites we are interested in 'picking off' here are the newbies. These sites will have a domain age of less than a year or if using Market Samurai, the DA field will be [ - ]. These sites have not yet proven themselves to Google as an authority for your keyword. This method will most likely work for some older sites, but testing must be rigorous, as per step 2 below.

The next thing we want to look for is the PR of their page and then the PR of the top level domain. Ideally your competitor will not yet have any PR, but I would assume that a PR of 1-2 on the ranking page and no more than a PR of 3 on the domain should qualify as a potential target.

Step Two: Assessing Current Backlinks

In this step we want to establish our target's quality of backlinks and 'criminal history' of link building. As I said earlier, if you come across a site that is under a year old that has a ton of backlinks, you can probably assume that they either have already had a punishment previously for this, got very lucky or are consistently building backlinks. On the other hand, you may find your competitor has a very small number of backlinks, but they could also be very targeted, high quality, high PR links.

The first thing we will do here is have a look at our competitors link building history. A simple search on their domain name, using Google's filter of "past 24 hours", "past month" and "past year" should show you how consistently their link building efforts have been and what new backlinks have recently been indexed. If they average out to being quite consistent in their link building, this method may not work. If they have a lot of backlinks but none have appeared recently, then I would say they have probably been punished before and could be liable for another one as a repeat offender. This test is also good if you have targeted an older domain (~2yrs), to find out if they have had no activity in a long time. An older 'dormant' site would not suddenly generate a ton of backlinks out of the blue with no content change, so they are probably in for a slapping if they do.

The next thing we will do is open up backlinkwatch dot com and run a quick test on their current page links. Have a look at the anchor text of the **************** links and see if it has been mixed up or is mainly just your keyword appearing. Have a look at the sites that these links are coming from. If they are relevant, natural high PR links, then this site is has been rewarded with their spot on page one and our character attack may fly in our faces - but if their domain age is less than a year, my current thinking is they will still be punished. If their backlinks are coming from spammy looking pages with lots of OBL, then a repeat offence may give them another penal sentence in the sandbox, even a de-indexing.

Step Three: Blast them with 'dirt'

This step serves to completely discredit your competitors site in the eyes of Google, by not just making them behave unnaturally, but also making them appear as the bottom rung crack whores of internet society.

Spam Time.

We have now qualified our target and it is time for the attack. There are two ways to do this effectively in my opinion. The first way is the manual way. It will be as time consuming as building your own backlinks but a lot more entertaining.

Wear Protection. (I wasn't going to add this part in as it deviates slightly from the 'parody' intent of this method, but if anyone is evil enough to actually try this, for goodness sakes, don't set yourself up for a law suit).

You will want to use a proxy for this part and make sure you are not signed in to any Google services. (If your target notifies any cooperative webmasters, a simple search through their logs will identify your IP - keep it safeguarded).

We will use standard backlink search techniques to identify the most horribly spammed up **************** blog comment pages and use Google search operators to find ones with words like "buy viagra", "acai berry" and some smutty adult keywords. There is no limit to how crazy you can go with this, but a rough guesstimate from my experience with my own sites being sandboxed during tests is that 20 -30 backlinks a week for 2 weeks will do it. Be sure to use *only* your keyword as anchor text and ping each backlink immediately using Pingler, so that the links appear immediately and do not at all look natural to the Big G. Completely halt from any further backlinking and wait for them to drop off page one.

The alternative method, if you have this resource available to you is a nice big Xrumer blast, again using your main keyword as anchor text and the words "Acai Berry Supplies" and "Cheap Viagra" as surrounding text in the post.

If you do find your competitor popping up again in the SERPS after a few months, simply rinse and repeat this method and (all things going to plan) you will never see their site appear again.

Remember, you must do the complete opposite with your website of course, as your site is now the goodie two shoes in the eyes of the G.

Rank High In Google In Under 15 Minutes

Method Explained From my previous thread..

In this thread I will explain how I rank high in google within a matter of minutes. I will not go step by step and tell you how to create an account because if you’re a newbie and don’t know how to create an account then you shouldn’t be reading this thread because most likely you wont know how to implement this method anyways.

Ok,
This method can work great but I have not tested it enough to see how long my pages rank for but they seem to be good as of now but I havnt have any pages up for more than a day.

This method will work great with google trends and a blogger with come CPA’s… be creative. The point is, I ranked on the first page at #7 within 15 minutes and over 2 million SERPS on the top volcanic google trends search.

Anyways,
Write a complete unique article with a high keyword density in a Microsoft word document. Do some keyword research if necessary, or just use google trends given related searches as your main keywords. Use these thick throughout the document.
I don’t know the details why this is important, I just know that it works. Add any links to a blog or clickbank product and submit to Scribd.com. After submitted, make sure you fill in the description, tags, and all of the information until you get a medium to high findability score. (you will know what I mean when you upload.)

After it is uploaded, share it and post the link to Digg and Reddit.com. Those are the only 2 I have used and using those two and a short 1 paragraph article got me ranked number 7 with over 2 mil. SERPS

Anyways this method is still in testing but I have consistently gotten ranked in the first and second page every time. Please tweak and make this method better and share your results because I have shared my findings with you.

That’s about all guys good luck!

Stat Blaster 7.0

StatBlaster
StatBlaster is a simple utility that logs your site onto statistics/whois websites, generating backlinks along the way. To use StatBlaster, simply place your links (one per line, marked with [URL] for the position of your website address) in a text file named urls.txt in the same folder as the program. You can start blasting by entering your website address (without "http://") in the text box, then going to File -> Start.

Description
StatBlaster is a free utility that logs your site onto statistics/whois websites, generating backlinks along the way. To use StatBlaster:

1. Add or import the addresses of the websites you want to promote into the "Your Websites" list.
2. In the "Statistics Websites" box, enter the location of the file that contains the list of statistics websites you want to blast to. The websites should be separated by line and marked with [URL] for the location of your domain.
3. Select the maximum number of threads you want to use. More threads can speed up site submission, but can also overwhelm less powerful computers.
   
4. Click "Start".

If you are runnning Wine on Mac, Linux, or another Unix-like system, select "Wine Compatibility Mode" through the Options menu before starting.

The downloads section also includes a list of 3,477 already prepared URLs.

It allows for hundreds of simultaneous connections (depending on your memory) and also provides an url list with 32,000 (!) target sites. As well, clear instructions appear in a message screen when the program first starts.

My Method For Getting Unique Content From Spun Articles

Hey Guys,

I'm gonna give you all a method for getting unique content on your blogs that works and is 100% complete from start to finish. The concept of what I'm about to tell you is nothing new to BHW but the tools I use may not be familiar to some of you.

The method I use for getting content involves article grabbing, translating the articles several times, and then checking the dupe content level before I post it.

The reason I wrote this thread is because I see a lot of people on here wanting to use some translator bots and stuff that BHW members have made and then yanked or else the software has glitches and other problems and the method I've found works flawlessly so I thought I would share.

Now before we get started, this method is not for autobloggers cause you wil spend a few minutes getting your articles ready to post, but if you've got a few minutes to spin a few articles you'll have lots of content for your blogs.

Okay here we go, these 3 tools are the tools you will need for the job:

The Everprofits Toolbar - I take no credit for having found this tool, Ken3401 is responsible for giving me this tool for getting my articles in the first place. Now all you haters are gonna say that the Everprofits toolbar no longer grabs articles using the content generator tool that comes with it, but while that was true for awhile, they've updated their toolbar and if you have the latest version of it, it grabs articles again without any problems. Much thanks to Ken3401 for a great tool recommendation.

You can G00gle 'Everprofits Toolbar' to get the download

The next tool you will need is the Lingoes translator, it's free and uses all the major translation services around the Internet including G00gle translator. It's a small app that you download and set up on your pc and it really translates articles super fast but you do have to feed the articles in for each pass of the translation, so about 2 minutes per article.

You can G00gle 'Lingoes translator' to get the download

The last tool you will need is a dupe content checker, and you can use whichever checker you want, but DupeFree Pro is free and works perfectly well for the job.

You can G00gle 'DupeFree Pro' to get the download

* Now before anyone goes asking, I'm not affiliated with these softwares in any way, they are just the tools I use for spinning articles cause they work very well, and I haven't posted enough to be able to give you the links so you have to go grab them yourselves.

Okay so here's what you do to spin articles:

First: Download all programs and install them

Second: Let's find an article to spin so open up Internet Explorer and click on the Content Generator in the Everprofits toolbar. Once you've opened the content generator, type in your keyword and press the search button and wait for a list of articles to show up. Once you've got your list, click on an article you want to use and it will populate in the rewriter screens below it. I don't use the rewriter feature of this toolbar because it turns the articles to dogfood so instead I highlight and copy out the content of the article (CTRL+C) and then I open up Lingoes.

Third: Once you've got Lingoes open maximize it so you can see all of the contents of the articles you will spin, then click on the Text Translation button right in the center of the window. Paste your article into the text box, use the G00gle translator and translate the article. I go English to Spanish, then I copy out the Spanish and if you right click in the text box it will highlight all the original text for you and you can just paste in the Spanish with one click. I do this again for Spanish to French, then French to German, then German back to English.

*The whole process up to this point from finding and grabbing the article to translating it is 2 minutes, for a noob who haven't used the software before it's like 4 minutes..so it's pretty quick.

Now the last step is to copy out your article that is now in English and check it through DupeFree Pro, so open up DupreFree Pro and paste your spun article in one window, go back to your Everprofits toolbar content generator window and copy the original article again and paste it in the other DupeFree Pro window and click the big fat compare button.

I've had results in the 23% to 35% range, never higher and the spun article is human readable and quite good with one or two small grammar tweaks that need to be applied to the article. The whole process takes about 3 to 4 minutes and could be faster if you know what you're doing.

So there you go, that's the method, it works, but you do have to spend a few minutes grabbing and translating, but then you've got articles that when checked in Copyscape don't even come up.

Keyword Combination of Secrets of Search Engine Optimization

Let's say you have a keyword combination. Anytime a person does a search on that keyword combination you want your website to pop up in the number one position. Here are steps that will help.

• Place the keyword combination in your keyword metatag.
• Place the keyword combination in your description metatag.
• Next place the keywords in your title.
• Place that exact string "secrets of search engine optimization" in the first paragraph of your page and make that string BOLD
• Use that keyword combination again in the next paragraph. At least once.
• You can skip a paragraph, but use it again once in the next two paragraphs.
• Place an image on your page. The keywords should be in the alt tag.
• Put some text referring to the image beside, above or below the image using the keyword.
• After the image add at least 2 more paragraphs. Use your perfect keywords once in each paragraph.
• In the last paragraph italicize the keywords.
• Sprinkle headlines throughout the article with relevant keywords
• Make sure the keywords are relevant to the scope of the article.

We follow this formula because of how the search engines look at your page. Most SEO experts say that metatags aren't used by the search engines anymore. But it takes nothing to add your keyword to the metatags. There might be some old style search engines still using the metatags. Don't miss the opportunity.

Where Do You Get Fresh New Content ?

Where do you get new content? That is a tough question that is not always easy to answer. I am in the computer industry where there is something new happening constantly. Just when I think I have a clue about what is going on in the industry, somebody creates a new product or Microsoft changes their operating system and I am back to square one, relearning everything.

Not every industry is like that, but most industries have something new happening that is worth telling their customers about. My daughter and her husband run a recording studio, Apocalypse Cow, in the Chicagoland area. They are constantly finding new things to put on their website. Where do they get the content?

There is always something new and fun happening at the recording studio. Who is in recording this month? Have they purchased new equipment to improve the studio? What kind of music is being played? How are the bands that they record doing on the music charts? Who is new in the studio? What are the bands that have recorded previously with Apocalypse Cow doing? Are they recording new music or reworking old favorites?

How can you relate that to your industry and market? Have you hired someone new to help your customers? Tell us about it. Have you purchased new equipment or new software that will enhance your ability to service your clients and users? Tell us about it. Have you done something to make industry news, tell us about it. Some people have pets or children doing interesting things. Tell us what is interesting and keep telling us every month.

Fresh Content - Number 1 Key to Internet Success

Are you looking for the Holy Grail of Internet success? Would you like to know what drives the web and causes some companies to fail and others to grow exponentially each year? Why does one site get visited once and nobody ever comes back and yet others continue to be visited over and over by the same people? This article will answer that question.

What sites do you visit on a regular basis? We all have been told about a really fantastic site, a must see, we go there once, maybe twice and never return. Why don't we go back? Easy answer, nothing has changed. The second time we went there it had the same material that was there the first time.

The internet is the place we go to get information. This is why this is called the information age. Back in the 1800's it could take a year before information was disseminated across the country. Today, information is exchanged in a fraction of that time. As a web business person you are responsible to provide accurate and timely information on a recurring basis.

Do you ever go to a website like Dilbert? Scott Adams has created a fortune with his comic strip character and has made it available on the internet. You can go there everyday and see Scott Adam's latest creation. Everyday it changes and everyday you get the opportunity to laugh again at the antics of the "pointy haired boss" and his team of characters. Now, would you keep going back if Scott Adams stopped writing his comic strip? Probably not. Because it is the newness of the information that you seek.

Granted he could repackage it in different ways so you would keep going back. But did you notice, he wouldn't be keeping it the same. It would appear to be fresh new content. That is the number one key to Internet success. Keep your website growing and hopping with fresh new content.
