So You Want to Start an Online Business

(PRWEB) October 15, 2006

So you want to start an online business? I am prompted to write this article after receiving a phone call from my daughter a couple days ago. Apparently she had just returned home from an information meeting about starting your own online business. At the end of this two hour meeting, she decided on the spot that she did indeed want to start an online business and these people apparently could show her how; for a small investment of $ 3000. What? How much? Well what do you get for that?

Well regardless, to my way of thinking; unless they are going to register the domain, write the website, find your product and upload it to the site and get you a ranking on some search engines; then it isnt worth it. So before anyone else throws down $ 3000 at an information meeting; let me give you some insight into how easy it really is to start your own online business.

For the purpose of this article I will use my own site http://www.aitechworld.com as the examples. For your own purpose simply transpose your own information over mine.

First lets look at online business verses brick and mortar business. There are some initial key similarities. You need a location. For an online business; this is a website. Your website; like a traditional store needs an address. On the internet that would be your domain name. The domain name is very important the same as putting a traditional store way in the backwoods where nobody would ever see it. You want to choose a domain name that expresses what your business is all about. Today there are billions of domain names registered so getting the precise name you want probably wont happen; however look at your options carefully and pick a name you can market. This will be important later.

There are likely thousands of sites that you can investigate domain names. I always used GoDaddy.com for mine. When you do a search and it comes back and say that domain name is taken; it also gives you dozens of alternates based on your search. This is a good place to start. Get a list of names; research them; build on them; brainstorm; narrow them down; and finally pick the best of the best. You can register yourself also at GoDaddy.

So you have a business idea; which I assume includes a product? Right? And an address. The next thing to do; you do have a product right? Okay then the next thing to do is to write your webpage (build your store)? Nope. Actually were going to follow more tradition and think about how the store must compliment the product which must compliment the store. In our case; we need to think about keywords. Your keywords, and your domain name will be two of the three most important things that contribute to your rankings on the search engines. Well get to the third one a little later on.

What are keywords and why are they so important. Which keywords should I use? How often do I use them? Where do I use them? All of these have to be considered and resolved before you write one piece of your site. Or should be. You can revamp an existing website but we wont get into that here. Well assume this is for the purpose of creating a new site.

Which keywords do I use? The easiest way to start analyzing which keywords is to first think of what you would search for on the internet to find the exact products or services that you will be offering. In my case I sell discount consumer electronics. This is the meat of my site and the area I wanted to target. So I do a search on Google for discount consumer electronics. Now look through the results and see if any of the websites returned are selling what you are selling. If not; try another search term and repeat this process until you find it. Try to be as specific as possible. Search engines today are very complex and dont have a problem deciphering long strings of text. Try it sometime; youll be amazed.

Once you find relevant sites, there are a couple of routes you can take to hone your own keywords. The first thing you want to do is look at what they are using for keywords. To do this you need to look at the source code of the target website. I wont go into details; but if you browse to their website; then right click anywhere on the page you should be able to select view source or something to that effect. Copy and save their keywords. Do this for several sites and save all the keywords to a text file on your computer.

Now we have something to work with. In Series 2 of this article I will tell you how to refine those keywords based on relevance to your site, popularity, and your own marketing strategy. Also we will continue on building more of the foundation of a website; and online business; that will rank well in its own right. And without laying out $ 3000.

Until then; happy keyword hunting.

Best Regards

Joseph Murray

Business Intelligence Provider Hoover's Releases Latest Edition of "The Hoover's Index" List of the Top 1,000 Companies Most Searched

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 9, 2007

Hoover's, Inc. today announced the launch of "The Hoover's Index," a free, proprietary monthly index of the leading public and private companies, non-profits, and associations which represent the brand leaders, up-and-comers and "buzz" creators driving the U.S. and international economies.

The Hoover's Index, which reveals monthly spikes in business search activity, is based on a proprietary algorithm that takes into account the search trends of business professionals, including both organic and internal searches on Hoover's site, as well as business searches conducted via major search engines. Movement above and below index determines ranking, instead of gross search volume.

"The high rankers in this latest edition of The Hoover's Index run the gamut from a leading B2B company and large bank, to a couple of household consumer brand names," said Tim Walker, Hoover's industry analyst. "The majority of the latest index toppers have risen in the ranks primarily because of news of mergers and all-out bidding wars."

LaSalle Bank Corporation (Index #406)

During the 17th century, the explorer La Salle traveled through a large swath of what is today the Midwest - the same region where Chicago-based LaSalle Bank has a strong presence with individual consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. LaSalle Bank made headlines in April when its parent company, ABN Amro, agreed to be acquired by Barclays in what would be the largest banking merger ever. (The price tag is around $ 90 billion.) The catch is that to aid the deal's passage, ABN Amro agreed to sell LaSalle to Bank of America at a price - $ 21 billion - that could seem like a bargain once Bank of America reaps the cost savings of owning LaSalle and starts profiting from its retail network in the Midwest. But LaSalle has other ardent suitors, foremost among them The Royal Bank of Scotland, which covets LaSalle's strong position in Chicago. At the end of April, RBS led a consortium of European banks that made a whopping counteroffer for ABN Amro - nearly $ 100 billion.

DoubleClick Inc. (Index #376)

Being a leading company in your field will get you noticed; being a leading company in your field and having Google announce that it plans to buy you will get you noticed a whole lot more. That's the tale of DoubleClick as it finds itself near the top of this month's Hoover's Index. The company provides targeted online advertising placement and scheduling services, consulting services related to online advertising, and other electronic marketing services. Google intends to pay $ 3.1 billion to buy DoubleClick, a move that should extend the leading search company's reach into more facets of online advertising, which makes up the bulk of Google's revenues.

The Gatorade Company (Index #371)

First the University of Florida Gators opened the month of April with a historic title, becoming the first college ever to win the NCAA football and men's basketball championships in the same year. Then Gatorade, which was developed in the 1960s to hydrate Gator football teams playing in the hot Florida sun, closed off the month at the top of The Hoover's Index. With Major League Baseball season having started, the NASCAR season in full swing, and the NBA and NHL playoffs underway, April is one of the busiest sporting months on the calendar - and one of the busiest times on the Gatorade advertising calendar.

Gatorade quenches the thirst for profit of its parent company, PepsiCo, thanks to the ongoing rage for energy drinks. The big soft drink makers - Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Cadbury Schweppes above all - don't actually care which of their beverages you consume, as long as you do consume. If you want soda, they're happy to oblige with their signature products. When consumers showed they wanted more bottled water, it took no time for Coke to bring out Dasani and Pepsi to introduce Aquafina. And with the ongoing success of Red Bull, Coke's POWERade, and similar drinks, it's no wonder the category pioneer - the venerable Gatorade - finds itself in the spotlight.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company (Index #333)

When Enterprise says "We'll pick you up," it's not just a marketing slogan - it's a key to how the company does business. While top rivals Hertz and Avis operate mainly from airports, Enterprise has traditionally focused on customers whose own cars are in the shop or who need a rental for vacations or other special occasions. (More than 90% of Enterprise's car rental business comes from customers in their home cities, as opposed to travelers.) This emphasis stands to change thanks to a big deal Enterprise announced in April. The company plans to purchase Vanguard Car Rental Group, the parent company of the Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental chains, which operate primarily out of airports. Assuming the deal goes through, the combined Enterprise-Alamo-National lineup would become the clear industry leader in the U.S. car rental business.

(As an example, a Hoover's Index of 406 means that search volume was 4.06 times higher than the average search volume.)

To see the entire list of The Hoover's Index, click "here." Additionally, for those who would like direct delivery of news about the latest developments with The Hoover's Index, the "Hoover's Hottest Companies" newsletter is available "here."

The Hoover's Index, which utilizes more than a billion data points, is compiled from a universe which includes all worldwide companies that trade on a major stock exchange, as well as private companies identified as leaders by Hoover's business intelligence experts. Hoover's subscribers can click through from The Hoover's Index to in-depth coverage of the history, operations, and executives leading each company on the list.

Hoover's combines insightful editorial expertise, proprietary data collection technologies and a smart, engaging presentation to give its customers easy access to the most enlightening business information available.

About Hoover's, Inc.

Hoover's, a D&B company, gives its customers a competitive edge with insightful information about industries, companies, and key decision makers. Hoover's provides this up-to-date business information for sales, marketing, business development, and other professionals who need intelligence on U.S. and global companies, industries, and the people who lead them.
