Thanks Net6pay.

We went live with only Google Adwords. The per-click rate was killing us. We still have it, but reverted back to direct mail.

We have been adding our site to as many areas of the net as possible. Your list has lots of great ideas.

Thanks,

Ah, right up my alley. I'll up the stakes and add my comment on the next step. Converting your traffic into sales.




Make sure your website has a comprehensive navigation structure.
Ensure that users will immediately know what you're about when they enter your site.
Make it easy for users to contact you, by adding visual 'request a quote' or 'contact us now' graphics. This is called 'call to action' elements.
Measure your website stickyness by looking at your stats and seeing the amount of time someone spend on your pages. Try to increase this by adding relevant content and for example colour(hex) charts or other elements that would increase stickyness.
Content is king. If you update your site on a weekly basis, you'll see more traffic flowing since the search engines monitor your sites and know how often it's updated. They tend to rank sites higher with regularly updated and relevant content.
When doing PPC on Google, try and bid for 2nd or 3rd place, your ROI will be much higher!
There's probably much more. Ask away if you need specific info ;-)
