Your information was very useful as I find myself explaining these points over and over again to new web clients. Sometimes I think people just wake up and think “Oh I’ll start a business today” with no planning or thoughts of how to make it successful. Your tips will help me alot in gaining new clients.

I really think you’re right on mistake # 8, it is so often that I have spent far too much money mucking around trying to get my site looking ‘too good’. There is a balance, and its hard to find.

Great post. Lots of great tips. On #5 No Integrated Marketing Plan I would add… give customers a reason to visit your site.

For example, if you provide quotes for services or products as part of your business, deliver the quotes via email when possible. Provide a link in the email back to a page on your site that displays the quote.

Get creative. Think of other similar ways to integrate your site in your day-to-day business.

And of course, take advantage of search engine optimization (SEO) when creating your site to maximize the amount of free traffic and business leads you can get via the search engines.

SEO is probably the most important element since the two alternatives to it are…

1 – No traffic, no sales
2 – A lot of money spent on PPC

“Too often, the focus is on either the cost of service or the ‘unique approach we use that makes us different than everyone else.’”

As an online consumer, this is the most frustrating advertising bit any company can give. Consumers want clear-cut and detailed statements on what you can offer that others cannot. It is that simple.

Thanks for identifying these critical mistakes, it’s clear to see if you start off on the wrong foot by not having a clear objective then it can have a trickle down effect with the rest of your site and create problems with the rest of your site.

I think once you have traffic down #7 is the key mistake on every site. It seems that conventional sales tactics are overshadowed by SEO.

The targeting metrics a mostly hard to describe for me. If you cann say that you want to have 1000 visitors each day or a special ranking it’s easy. But what’s with the worth of your brand or such things, how can you measure that ?
