Version 1.3

This upgrade will be focused on the management of the link directories that we added in 1.2. You will be able to sort by pagerank, suggest new directories, suggest directories that should be removed. This will help us all work through the submission process more efficiently.

Version 2

For version 2 we are going to build a 3 way link network for all the software users, so you can have automatically generated, relevant inbound links from related sites. As the network gets bigger, you get more links.

Suggestions welcome!

Link directory progress

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Im working through the whole link directory list, and actually submitting them. This has 2 key benefits;

1) Auditing and removing directories that have closed, dont work, or are paid.

2) SEO benefit for friiso.com.

It takes a while for the links to be picked up in google webmaster tools, a few weeks generally… monitoring the progress of this closely

Using the link directory submission tool

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Here is our quick start to using the new link directory submission tool in version 1.2.

As you can see from the screen shots below, its pretty simple.

1. Enter your details in the options dialog. Make sure you have selected your domain in the dropdown on the main toolbar.

2. Click Next Link Directory, and a link directory that you have not processed will open in the browser.

3. Navigate to the submit link form in the browser.

4. Click ‘Fill Form’ and it will fill out the details for you, except the category and captcha.

5. Enter link category and captcha, and submit the form.

6. Repeat!

Note:  Often you have to check your email to confirm the link after submission.

To view a report go to the Tools Menu where you can see the directories you have submitted to.

temporary hiccup

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

We got our home page hacked this week, and had to roll the site back 2 weeks.  Currently the application version is out of date, its the old version. We will update this shortly, along with all the content changes that we have lost, which is a shame as we had a great help manual on the new link submission tool.

We will upload the new version in the next day or two – trust me its worth waiting for!

Upcoming link directory submission tool

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

The next 2 key features for the next release of friiso are;

  1. Semi-automated Link directory submission – NOW LIVE!!!
  2. A 3 way link network

The link directory submission tool will provide you with a list of link directories, and enable you to quickly call up a directory, populate the form with pre-defined information, leaving you only to have to enter the captcha code. This way you can work through a lot of link directory submissions on your own very quickly.

This expected by the end of the year or early next year.

The 3 way linking is going to take longer, arriving in the second quarter of next year.

Additionally there will be some small bug fixes to the page rank checker to make it more robust and easier to view results.

Best of all… its always staying free!

Personalisation

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Personalisation of a website is just applying what you know about the the customer to their current experience of the site. It can be broken down further into;

  • IP/Geo targeting (different lists for customers
  • Using past data (previous products bought/browsed) through the cookie.
  • Content translation (generally better done through having specific domains per language)

Choosing your niche

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Choosing your niche is a somewhat personal choice. It pays to choose something that you are interested in, and fits with your abilities and interests. The type of site, marketing model and the complexity of the services you will build on this depend on how you fit with certain stereotypes.

If you are a writer, and expert/knowledgeable in a particular field, you might consider a blog

If you are a programmer, you might consider a software or service

If you are marketing focused, you might consider affiliate marketing

If you are business focused, you might consider opening an online store

Of course these are just stereotypes, everyone is unique, but it will help guide you. I would always emphasis that you should focus on areas that you are interested in, so you don’t lose interest in the project after a while.

Email marketing

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Email marketing is quite a large area on its own. Its an essential part of your armoury as it creates repeat customers, and can typically account for 10% of all revenue. If every customer on your list is worth $2 per email you send, then wouldn’t you like to turn your email list of 2000 into 200,000?  There are no shortcuts with building up a good mailing list, and you need to have proper qualified traffic in order to do this. The best way is to offer something genuinely useful and free to do this.

To support you in this its probably best to sign up with someone like aweber, who will provide you with all the tools you need to manage your email campaigns, signups, track conversion, and even do split testing.

The key to email marketing is

a) Have a large list. Offer something useful in return for the email address.

b) Only deal with opt-in. Nobody likes spam.

c) Provide relevant and useful offers to your customers, not just a hard sell.
