| How to Setup Joomla Website for Advertising | |
You have beautified your Joomla website to the best of your ability. Get yourself an Alexa Toolbar on your Firefox or IE browser today. Google Chrome is fast and nice, but it will not help you in terms of increasing your Alexa Traffic rank which is used by most Internet Advertisement Publishing companies that sell legitimate advertising spots. You can also install a Firefox extension, Alexa Sparky, through the Firefox Add-ons feature from your Firefox browser menu. When you install one of these, you are enabling Alexa to track your web surfing patterns including visiting your Joomla website on Firefox through cookies. If you do not want Alexa to track your browser for other websites, then just limit your browser surfing practices to those websites you want tracked, and use Chrome, SRWare and other browsers for non-tracking purposes. Millions of users install Alexa for other purposes as well, such as to view the Alexa rankings on the websites they are visiting. If a user is an advertiser, knowing the Alexa ranking ahead in advance helps in critical advertising decisions. But advertising decisions should not be based on Alexa ranking alone. Most advertisement publishers regard their own website statistics as proof of their visitor rankings regardless of Alexa or Google ranking. The next thing you can do is to develop your Google Page Rank. This will take time, depending upon your social networks. Social networks provide a convenient form of advertising to businesses and organizations today. Having a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, to name a few, accounts simultaneously will help your growing business. Depending upon the nature of your business/organization, you will also want to advertise your website on other similar-interest websites. For instance, if you have a tech-oriented website, it is good to try other tech-oriented websites for advertising. Blogging is a necessity for your websites these days. If you have quality information to blog about that will interest readers, such as ‘How To’ series, tutorials, advice, and so on, you should share these information on your website. With Joomla CMS you can embed nice little social bookmarking widgets called ‘plug-ins’ that interface with many popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. There are even available plug-ins that automatically tweet your article as soon as you publish it on your Joomla website. Invite your visitors to comment on your blog, to develop interactivity on your website, but do not forget to integrate some sort of anti-spam CAPTCHA mechanism into it. |
