It's The NAME
Of YourWebsite!
Come closer. Pay attention here. Everybody in
marketing with even half-a-brain knows the HEADLINE is the most
important part of any ad. And, don't you get it that when it
comes to websites... the NAME of your site... IS is the
headline?!
People pay thousands and thousands to get the
top position when someone types a search phrase into a search
engine which relates to what they are selling.
So, there they are, right in the top ten results
of a website search... with... a few poorly written sentences
describing their site (written in blue) and the name of their
website hidden at the bottom of the few lines of copy describing
their site.
Know this: Burn it into your mind:
Those first few sentences which describe your site... plus...
the actual NAME of your site are, by far...
The Most Important Words
On Your Entire Website!
Look, when people type a search word or a search
phrase into a search engine, they do NOT necessarily click on
the sites which pop up in the first three or four results. No.
What they do is, they glance down the list of those top ten
sites and read the brief descriptions of each site... and...
the name of each website.
The one they really click on first
(and you DO want it to be yours) is the one with the most enticing
copy describing the website... and... the most enticing website
name.
It's like they are glancing at headlines in a
newspaper to see what stories they want to read. And, most website
descriptive copy and website names seem to have been written
by marketing imbeciles. Listen, these words are, by far, the
most important words on your entire website. More thought and
effort should go into these few lines of descriptive copy (and
name) of your website than everything else that is on your site...
combined! It's so simple, I feel like I'm writing to
morons that I even have to explain it... but... I'm going to
explain it anyway...
If The Few Lines Of Descriptive Copy About
YourWebsite
(And The Name Of YourWebsite) Are NOT Written To Grab
A Great Deal Of Immediate Attention... Nobody... Will Click
On The Link And Read YourWebsite... And... Therefore...
