Is FireFox hurting your business?

Chances are it is, and you don’t even realize it. Let me clarify before I continue. Firefox is not the problem it’s a great browser and I find myself using it more than IE anymore.

It’s a favorite amongst Internet marketers and my stats show almost 75% of my te members are using it to surf.

No the issue is not with Firefox, another great feature of the browser is all the add ons that are available for it.

Unfortunately this feature is also the problem, one add-on in particular is killing your sales and opt-in numbers.

The no-script add-on.

It’s a great add on to help you protect your computer, there are a lot of surfers that use it to kill any scripts running on the pages they are viewing so it doesn’t slow down their computer.

Sounds good so far doesn’t it?

Turn your thinking for a moment to your own pages.

Have you spent time tweaking a video for your site so it would improve conversions?
Well it was pointless, if everyone seeing your page is using no-script, than your video is not being seen.

Do you have a killer squeeze page? You may never know because if someone gets to it using no-script they won’t be able to opt in to your list.

How about your join now button? It may be taking potential members to an error page instead of your sign up page, if they are using no-script.

Take a minute to think of the pages you are promoting. How many could be effected by no-script? How many sales or opt-ins have you missed out on because of it?

Do yourself a favor and get this free guide, that shows how to properly use the no script add-on and pass it on to all of your potential customers anyway you can.

Tweets, Lottos, and Free Money

I just got around to downloading Tweet My Blog, and realized that my blog has been neglected for too long.

This has been a great week and there has been plenty to write about too, so I will try to get caught up.

First of all as I mentioned earlier I just downloaded Tweet My Blog Another creation by John Merick and Soren Jordanson.

So what is it? Well the name pretty much says it all. If you use wordpress and you use Twitter then you need Tweet my blog.

It is a word press plugin ( word on the street is that they are working on making it compatible with other blog formats ) that will update Twitter any time you make a post. It also adsd your recent twitter posts to your blog.

It’s simple to use, and saves you time from having to go in and update both.

It was launched yesterday, but I just now got to downloading it and installing it, since I was busy yesterday with PromoLotto.

PromoLotto was also launched yesterday and it is one of the most innovative new exchanges I have seen in a while.

The site is based off of the lj script but aside from the registration page everything else is custom.

They have integrate list building with traffic and have presented a fun and effective way of growing both.

Building a traffic exchange and list builder into the same program is not new though Advertising Know How has been doing it for years. AKH is one of those must have programs in your marketing arsenal, and since Monday Robert Puddy has been giving away free money.

He is paying members $1 for each new referral, alng with free textlink and banner credits.

If you need more traffic and a bigger list ( who doesn’t? ) then make sure to add AKH to your battle plan.

What is a FirePow ?

As blogging and in particular blogging for profit becomes ever more popular amongst online entrepreneurs, we’re seeing new tools developed to assist in this process being released, what seems like every week.

In this post I’m going to talk about one such tool, Firepow Blogging Software,because I believe it might just be a cut above the rest in terms of it’s flexibility of use, and overall effectiveness in accomplishing the three primary aims of blogging – creating a blog, managing it or maintaining it, and getting traffic to it.

It was hard to know where to start with this post because there are so many individual features of this software that could be mentioned.

To give you a brief overview of how it works…

Firepow is based on the Wordpres platform, and allows a user to install a fully customized and functioning wordpress blog with a few clicks of the mouse.

If you’ve used WordPress before, you’ll know that one of the best things about it is it’s ability to be enhanced by third party plugins. You’ll also know that it’s not hard to get LOST in all the plugins and potential feature additions that CAN be made.

The first thing great about Firepow from my point of view is that they have done the plugin work for you. The best 50 or so plugins from around the web have been programmed into the software so as to be automatically installed when your blog is.

That’s a good feature, but it’s even better when you consider that while these plugins normally require manual fiddling to get installed, tweaks made to your theme CSS code and more – the software actually does that part for you too – so you click the button, and you have the function of that plugin added – VERY time saving!

The “Create” part of the process is also helped by the ability to create your own custom wordpress theme completely from scratch, with more functionality than we’ve seen from free theme generators EVER before – not to mention the ability to create your own categories from scratch, automatically create the perfect permalink
structure for SEO, and more.

Before even getting into the WordPress panel of the site Firepow creates you’ve also got a site management tab where all your blogs can be managed from one place, an SEO tracking tool to monitor the search rankings of all your sites, and a task manager
that tells you what needs to be done to maintain your blog/s and when.

I dare say though that the best things happen once you’re actually IN the blog.

Here you have crazy abilities to make your post content better, easily being able to add relevant images, videos, or trackbacks (automatically building backlinks to your site) to your posts… and even that’s leaving alot out.

OR the crazy abilities to monitor your blogs success, like being able to split test the results of different posts, monitor your traffic through in depth reporting (utilizing Google analytics), monitoring your search spider activity, the popularity of your posts, the terms people are searching on your site, and more still.

I feel like I’m getting too salesy in this post to you but I can assure even with everything you’ve read here, I haven’t even really touched the surface of what’s going on inside this thing called Firepow – heck we didn’t even get to the promotional tools.

The best thing I can probably do is tell you go to look at the darn thing yourself:

Check Out FirePow Here

Oh and I could also tell you that if your into blogging and you don’t, you’ll probably regret it big time.

I hope you’ve found the information here valuable, and don’t hesitate to leave your comments on Firepow here to share with others.
