Why I made this change? Simple: I wanted the site analysis, which is a report on how to improve your site in key areas such as SEO to Usability to Site Speed & more, to be more easily accessible to more people. I know that I'm a reasonably expensive consultant, yet I love helping people improve their websites. This service is aimed at exactly that and with this new price point I think it's something that most SMBs should be able to afford.

To be able to get to that lower price, I've been working on the system by which I create site analyses over the past weeks. I used to do them all by myself, but since I sell several of these a week now, sometimes even several a day, I can't keep doing that. I also noticed that I was telling the same things an awful lot, people tend to make the same "mistakes" all the time.

Getting some help

The conclusion was simple, I needed to outsource the "simpler bits" to someone who has a bit more time on his hands and only do the hard bits myself. Now, the simpler bits aren't all that simple, to be honest, which is why it took me a while to find someone who wanted to do those and had the capabilities needed to do it. I found that person in Michiel Heijmans, who, incidentally, lives in the same town as I do here in the Netherlands.

He was one of the very first bloggers in the Netherlands, starting his first blog in 2001, and has been in the online industry ever since. He co-founded about:blank, a famous Dutch e-zine about blogs & social media. Michiel knows an awful lot about all aspects of websites, from conversion to usability and more. On the last few reviews we've been working together and I noticed that because the two of us look at each site now, we actually give more feedback instead of less. And now we do that for a lower price.

Actionable Results

While the feedback I got for my site analyses has always been good, one of the remarks I got from people is "you've suggested so much, where do I start?". I fully understand that, the report needed to be more actionable, this is why all site analyses from now on will contain a to do list, ordered by a priority from 1 (high) to low (5).

At €495, which is currently less than $680, the cost of the analysis is far far lower than the value it represents in turn-over and profit. If you want my feedback on your site, because you're stuck in improving it, or haven't even started yet and want to know where to begin, you should order a website review right now!

A good example is this post by Ann Smarty on the MakeUseOf blog. It's a good post that could have pointed many readers at 2 nice addons, but I'm hesitant to share it, because of the ridiculous ads. I don't like in-content ads, but I can live with one of them. Having 3 of them though, 1 annoyingly situated just below the title so I had to search for the intro, is just too much and bordering on the plain spammy.

So, when you're adding ads to your site, consider this: they might make me money, but do they prevent me from making more money? If so, don't add those ads!

Wrong. This site offers (and has offered) several products I myself find highly useful, so my attention was caught. You see, while some of you might forget this at times, I'm still Dutch. Which means I'm cheap, in a good way. I like hunting for deals. I like getting things "on the cheap". In fact, a lot of my consulting work is for eBay, you could almost say I sort of specialize in cheap. Except for those of you who know my consulting rates. Ah well, let's stop digging a hole for myself by trying to be smarter than Lisa Barone and start talking about those daily deals.

So, in comes Mighty Deals. It works as one expects from a daily deals site, sign up, get emails, see if it's interesting, delete 99% of the time. Well, 80% of the time in this case if you're anything like me. Just check some of their current deals. Like Smaller, an OS X app to easily minify JS. Not rocket science, but bloody useful and at $10, a steal. Picons Icons, 500 icons that are not the ever present FamFamFam icons and royalty free, at only $21.

Or a deal that you've missed already, 3 tests from usertesting.com for $50... Invaluable feedback for $50. I'll subscribe and I'll stay subscribed, and I think you should too. If you're not going to subscribe to this one for the deals, be sure to download this freebie, a web icon set "for business". Not the best ever but you'll never know once these things come in useful. There's more free stuff like that there.

This, to me, is what deals site should look like to keep me happy, I hope you agree. If not, be glad that I got paid for this review and go on with your life, I'll snag the deals away myself :)

Feeds & Microformats

This panel, together with Richard Baxter of SEOgadget and James Lowery of Latitude, contained some great discussion on how to use microformats for rich snippets in the Google SERPs. I mostly discussed hReview & hReviewAggregate:

Tools, tools & tools

Next was a session with my buddy Dixon Jones from Receptional and Majestic SEO (who by the way just launched the Majestic Million) and Ross from Ad Insight, a pretty cool call tracking platform. I discussed 22 free tools that I use regularly:

WordPress SEO

The last session of the last day (yeah that's a painful spot) but still a decent turn out of people listening to me and how I think they should optimize their site's structure using categories, tags and custom taxonomies more, and some other geeky stuff:

"I know I need a better web design to get more clients... but until I get more clients, it'll have to wait."

I know. It's circular, right? Someone want more clients, and then they say until they get more clients they'll wait to get more clients.

Let's all say it together: Huh?

It's nonsensical. It's puzzling. It's sadly self-defeating and a little ridiculous too. It's putting the cart before the horse and expecting to get somewhere.

In fact, saying you want more clients but that you won't take the steps to actually get more clients is exactly the same as saying you don't want more clients.

So if that's the case... what do you want?

Most people faced with this question sort of stumble around. They mumble they were really looking for some "tweaks" to their poorly-designed site. Or some "ideas" for their terrible usability. Or a few "suggestions" for something that has no hope in hell.

What these people really mean is, "Could you please hand me the magic wand to sudden profitability and success without my spending a penny?"

The cold, hard truth is that there is no magic wand. Most business websites out there aren't converting well because they're simply downright ugly and completely ineffective. It isn't the SEO. It isn't the business idea. It isn't the traffic or product or service.

It's the damned ugly design. And the only magic wand that'll help turn things around is a major overhaul and rebuilding that website from scratch.

I know a new web design is a big investment, and it takes money. I also know that it's a risk – it's scary to spend money on something that isn't making a penny right now. What if it doesn't work? What if the investment doesn't pay off?

Here's a thought: What if it does?

Take a deep breath and give up on that old, cheap, ugly website that isn't making you money. You know it's not working. Why limp along? Put that horse in front of your cart so that you can finally get moving. Hire people who can give you a credible, professional website that gets you results.

In fact, most web experts refuse to tweak a bad website. They know tweaking is far more expensive than starting over. It's costly. It never ends. It's a money pit that sucks in every bit of available cash. And these people will tell you exactly what's wrong with your website:

The whole thing.

So if you've ever thought, "I know I need a better web design... but until I get more clients, it'll have to wait," then think about this:

If you want more clients, you need a site that's client-worthy. If you want more sales, you need a site that makes people want to give you money. If you want better results, performance and success, you need to invest in creating it.

And if you want to succeed, you need to stop wishing for a magic wand.

So quite a while back, I found myself bitching about AdWords again when chatting with Aaron Wall, of SEOBook.com fame. And he "casually" dropped that he was working on ppcblog.com, and they were starting an AdWords training program. I ignored it, as I do most every mention of PPC. Recently however, I've had to dive into PPC a bit to support one of my "original" clients: my mother's Relatietherapie (relation therapy) practice. She was suffering badly from a few Google organic updates (which has since been fixed), and I wanted to make sure I knew what I needed to know to keep her practice going on AdWords should I need to.

I then remembered this AdWords training course Aaron mentioned, and got myself access. It's the smartest thing I've done in a while, I think. I've not learned this much about PPC, ever, and I learned it in an enjoyable and, I must say, pretty easy way. Going from the fundamentals, to keyword research, campaign structure to the Quality Score and just basically everything you need to know about it...

Anyway, I'm not getting paid for this "ad", nor if any of you sign up. I just wanted to share it with all of you, and make sure you start subscribing to the PPC Blog. Just see it as my way to make up for the lack of posts about that topic here :)

Imagine this: you are buying a bread in the supermarket which has discount passes. That means they know what you bought. You payed with your bank card, so the bank now knows where you spent your money. Meanwhile you get gas outside of the supermarket so the bank now knows you came with the car, bought the bread and had gas. The gas station also knows which kind of gas and the fact that you decided to buy that candy-bar which was staring at you next to the counter. All bits of information which are separately not that important. But now here’s one company which allows you to say whether or not you liked the services. In return, they store every bit of information, so the bread, the candybar, the gas, all of it. And then they sell, or give away, that data to a third party, lets say a gym.

I guess now you get why it scares me? Luckily, the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party (*cough* nice name *cough*) said in their letter:

Social networks needed to have a default setting in which access to profile information and information about users' connections were "limited to self-selected contacts".

There's no word not to be misunderstood there, and I fully agree. Especially in the light of recent developments, allowing people to search for updates from outside Facebook. Weird thing is, I actually only started to use Facebook a bit better a couple of weeks back, on the day of the F8 developer conference where they announced these changes. I see the possibilities for marketing on & with Facebook a bit better now, and understand the power it has for advertisers. Those advertisers get that as well, it turns out, comScore says Facebook served up 176.3 billion ads to U.S. customers in Q1, being 16.2% of the market.

So I hope they get this fixed. I don't want to do away with Facebook, not just yet, I do want them to change their way of thinking about and dealing with privacy though, and not just now, but for all eternity.

It's rare that we get these types of conferences in Holland, that are of world class quality. This is one of them. My buddy Karl Blanks of Conversion Rate Experts is one of the keynotes, but the other ones are not in any way less interesting. What to think of Hannah Donovan, the creative director of Last.fm?

There are more, go to the site to read all about it. But: don't forget this: when you register, you are allowed to set the "Chi Member" button to "yes", just because you're a reader of Yoast.com, which will save you € 25,- on the already quite low registration price of € 250. I hope to see you there!

So, to introduce you to the company and to Todd Garland, who runs the company, has been kind enough to answer a series of questions for me. If you've got advertising on your blog and it's either taking up too much time or you're not selling enough, you might want to give them a try! But don't do that before you read on and see how incredibly passionate and smart Todd is about all of this.

Hi Todd, could you introduce yourself and buysellads.com to the readers of yoast.com?

Sure thing, my name is Todd Garland, I live in Boston, MA with my lovely wife and smelly dog and I run BuySellAds.com. BuySellAds.com is a self-funded startup (so far) advertising network targeting the design and development community. We've been around now for almost a year and we are doing very well. Selling a ton of ads, helping publishers make money, and helping advertisers create killer campaigns to target the web design and development niche. I'm young, 27, and have been building websites for what seems like forever now (10 years) and was most recently employed at another hot startup, HubSpot where I was their designer/front-end engineer/SEO guru (one of many SEO guru's in the company I might add).

Why did you start BuySellAds.com?

I started BuySellAds.com because I was frustrated. I was operating two
hobby websites (csselite.com and 13styles.com) and selling ads directly to advertisers. I also bought ads to help promote and grow those sites too -so I was solving a frustration that I experience both as an advertiser and a publisher. None of the well known ad networks could solve my problem... they are a pain to deal with, they don't give publishers enough control, and they take too high of a commission.

You've won me over as a publisher for BuySellAds by providing me with excellent service, and allowing me to do the transition with old advertisers on my own pace. Is that something you try to do for everyone?

Well, yes, everyone gets great service - regardless of how big/small the
publishers/advertiser is. Great service is something none of the other ad networks had (in my experience). It is important to me and I want people to feel like they're getting that great service every time they have a question or need a hand. In terms of helping with transitions, of course... we have transitioned many blogs over to our system who are already selling ads direct and I can proudly say that it's happened seamlessly every time.

What is, in your opinion, your added value to advertisers?

1. Our system is very simple. Fixed 30-day rates on a subscription basis. No other ad network does this, and I can't figure out why - it just makes sense.
2. They can trust us. We always do what is right and we're very reliable. When you buy direct from publishers who are not in a network you never know what you will get.
3. You can manage all of your ads in one central location. Many of our
   advertisers previously had to manage these ad buys individually, site by
   site, publisher by publisher. This was very time consuming. It's now very efficient. You don't have to contact anyone, you don't have to go back and forth on pricing, size, payment, etc. - it's all here in one place and when you are ready to pull the trigger it's done, the
   ads go live, that's it.
4. You no longer need to "discover" new placements. New sites that are
   worth advertising on are always coming into the marketplace and we're always recruiting new publishers. We keep our eyes out for advertisers and make good recommendations to them all the time.
5. We know our inventory. Too often advertisers are stuck dealing with
   people who have no clue where they should be advertising. We know our
   inventory very well and make honest recommendations vs. just trying to spend their money.

And to publishers?

1. Automated. They don't need to waste their time dealing with advertisers, remembering when to put up and take down ads, figure out how to get paid, etc. You install the ad code and you're up and running - it takes only a few minutes to get setup.
2. We don't get in the way. Our ad code is unobtrusive, flexible, and we don't plaster our brand all over your site like the other networks. We just blend in nicely - I bet visitors to your site didn't even notice a change when you switched over to BuySellAds.com.
3. We help you find advertisers. Like I said above, we know our inventory, and when an advertiser comes to us or when we seek out great advertisers we know exactly where their ads should be in our network. We are always sending out proposals, making recommendations, etc. Publishers in this niche NOT in our inventory are missing out these days. You, Joost, went from 4-8 advertisers in how many weeks? A couple I believe... ;) 3 weeks indeed, quite an achievement
4. You can trust us. We do what is right and we're always willing to help and give advice on pricing, placement, etc.
5. Highest payouts of any ad network on the planet. We pay out at 75%,
   which is unheard of and includes credit card processing fees (usually up to 5%), publisher payment fees, ad serving fees, support for the publisher and their advertisers, etc.

How is the online ad market doing at the moment, is it suffering from the recession?

Well, I think we're different. All of the ad networks you see that are
struggling right now are struggling for two main reasons:

1. They rely on targeting to produce results and their targeting is awful.
2. Their prices are inflated and they have been robbing clueless advertisersfor a long time and now it is catching up with them.

BuySellAds.com is very different. We don't do any targeting, the advertisers do this themselves by self-selecting the placements they wish to buy. Our prices are good - they're not inflated or anything, they make sense and are cost effective.

My best take away from all of this? Even in a market that might be shrinking, those who provide excellent service and a good added value will always prevail.

If you decide to go on, you'll either go directly to another article, or you'll most probably hit one of two links: the blogs about page, or its homepage. This time, you pick the homepage. If the site you're visiting has a "default" theme, you'll see a listing of the last 10 posts and the same sidebar you already saw on the article you just read. That's it.

Isn't that a blatant misuse of the trust you've just given that site? Wouldn't it be way more appropriate if the site showed you the very best content it can offer you, and gave you a sample of what kind of content you can find on it?

That is your homepage! It's a showcase of your blog. Whether people went to it because they heard from someone "you should go to *****.com, it's cool" or because they've just read an article and want to learn more about your site, that page is probably your best chance of getting a new subscriber.

So what should be on your homepage? This is the bare minimum I'd say:

• An about text about yourself / about text about the blog.
• A big call to action, the action being subscribing, either through email or RSS.
• A listing of your latest posts.
• Your "taxonomies", either your category structure, your tag structure or both.

After that it's all about personal preferences. I like to show off some of my best content by having featured posts and plugins, and of course I show off my Twitter.

So, how does your blogs homepage do on these criteria? What would you do differently?

"Us" is a group of highly experienced web marketing consultants. Some of you, especially the Dutch people, might know Ton Wesseling, and of course you know me.

Now you'll ask: what can we offer you?

• An expert review of your site
• Workshops in online marketing (given by Ton and me together)

In both cases, you've got the rare chance of getting not one but two (!!) online marketing experts helping you to make (more) money online.

Expert review

In the expert review we will review your entire site: starting with usability and functionality, up to how you are persuading your customers to buy, and whether your online presence outside of your site needs improving. And best of all, we can do it not only for your site, but your competitors too, revealing your strengths and weaknesses.

Whether you have an e-commerce site, a subscription based site (newspaper, blog, etc.) or a service site, our expert review is sure to give you hands-on tips for improvements.

Workshop more conversions on a lower budget

In the workshop, we'll tell you how to do online marketing in times of recession: more conversions on a lower budget. And we will not only tell you, we will, interactively, create an improved online strategy for you and with you.

Act now!

Both of these are on a first come first serve basis, and since our time is limited, we might be sold out as soon as today, so be sure to react soon by emailing me for pricing & availability details.

The last few days have been an absolute blast, speaking wise, I enjoyed both my WordPress session and the Extreme SEO panel on tuesday, and the Affiliate doctors panel on wednesday.

I actually wasn't supposed to be on that last panel, but had to fill in because Bob Rains went (and still is) missing. That last panel could have used someone like Ciaran to moderate too btw, that would have made it a whole lot better.

The new presentation Karl & Ben from Conversion Rate Experts did was one of the other highlights, content wise, as were the SEO howlers session and "Practical PPC Strategies for Better ROI" session.

In that last session Dixon gave a new presentation I'd never seen before, which was good, and both Mel and Tor from Microsoft showed why at some point in time Microsoft will own this market too. The fact that both Yahoo! and Google didn't even bother to show up for sessions like that only shows me that they're not at all interested in the people who are using their products.

Then, next to all the great content and the very well organized expo hall, there were the parties. The opening party was fun, the Thames cruise on the second night was great even though we could have used a bit more food, and the party yesterday was great as well. Before we joined that party though, we first had dinner with a couple of friends.

Dave had blogged asking who wanted to come for dinner, and picked Anthony Shapley, who turned out to be a nice guy! We had a load of fun and some good discussions with next to Anthony, Dave and his lovely wife Becky, these other great guys: Mel Carson, Todd Crawford, Marcus "Mediadonis" Tandler, Patrick Altoft, Al Carlton and myself.

So, the 28th and 29th of April next year A4UExpo will be coming to Amsterdam, and I can only say one thing: be there.
