			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you been wondering how not to make marketing blunders when it comes to your website<br />
and online?</p>
<p><a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/how-not-to-make-marketing-blunders.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1493 alignnone" title="how not to make marketing blunders" src="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/how-not-to-make-marketing-blunders.jpg" alt="how not to make marketing blunders" width="588" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>At this very moment over 539 million searches have taken place on Google. Many searchers<br />
aren&#8217;t reaching millions of websites because of marketing blunders when it comes to marketing<br />
online.</p>
<p>It was in June of 2005 when I learned that there was a lot I didn&#8217;t know, which made perfect sense<br />
to why I wasn&#8217;t getting much web traffic, books sales, let alone subscribers to my newsletter. It was<br />
frustrating. But I saw that there was a lot more to being online than having a website.</p>
<p>With the growth of the internet, consisting of over 1.6 billion users in the world a lot has changed,<br />
which requires a lot more. So let&#8217;s touch on a few marketing blunders made daily across the World<br />
Wide Web.</p>
<p>1. Not using keywords or keyword phrases on website, articles, blogs and all content posted on the<br />
web.</p>
<p>2. Focused on the pretty and snazzy website, rather than a customer friendly website.</p>
<p>3. Missing contact information on website: Phone Number, Email Address and Mailing Address</p>
<p>4. Blogs: Forcing readers to login to leave a comment</p>
<p>5. Failing to collect names and emails of web visitors</p>
<p>6. Free websites with banner ads</p>
<p>7. Too many distractions on website that takes visitors away</p>
<p>8. Not investing in a domain name</p>
<p>9. Poor quality of images on sites</p>
<p>10. Social Network Sites: Selling more than providing value to the community</p>
<p>11. Missing the opportunity to brand product, service and expertise</p>
<p>12. Missing a brand</p>
<p>13. Not having a personal or business website</p>
<p>14. Focusing on the sale over building a relationship</p>
<p>15. Inconsistent activity with marketing online and offline</p>
<p>16. Seeking the cheapest route</p>
<p>17. Slow to act and implement</p>
<p>18. Not multi-marketing</p>
<p>19. Not getting out of the way to receive help</p>
<p>20. Doing the same thing daily and seeking a new result</p>
<p>21. <span style="color: #000066;"><strong>*Right here insert a marketing blunder you&#8217;ve seen or supported. Share<br />
it right below to help others.*</strong></span></p>
<p>Now, this is my subjective list, but it&#8217;s a list to get you thinking and moving. There are so many<br />
blunders out there and not even I can catch them all. I know I have been a victim to many of<br />
the 20 I&#8217;ve shared with you today.</p>
<p>Add to the online website marketing blunder list. More importantly, stop making the blunders to<br />
help improve your sales, traffic and online results.</p>
