'Start page' programs are the easiest way to get traffic to
your website. Did you know you can amplify that traffic as
much as four times with the same mouse clicks?

Amplifying your 'start page' traffic is crucial if your
website gets few hits. Make a 'funnel page' and funnel
traffic to your website.

Start with a doorway page, optimized for the search engines.
It is not just a doorway page, because it will soon do more.
It's going to funnel traffic to your website.

It needs a header in the visible top section of the browser
so as to be seen as soon as the page comes up. Try to use
the HTML H1 tag in this header. Like any ad, be gripping,
catch the attention of the viewer.

Keep the body of your ad to about that 200 words. Link your
'funnel page' to the page your advertising. If the content
is good enough to gain the attention of viewers, submit it
to the search engines as well.

Your objective is to get the most hits out of your 'funnel
page'. We will make additions to our page that will
differentiate it ...
... from a doorway page.

Banners are declining in effectiveness, but a finely tuned
creation can still get great success. Use different banner
exchanges for best results, and no more than 4 banners on
your 'funnel page'.

The more banners you use, the better your results will be,
but the harder it is to make your page aesthetically
correct. Play with arrangements to make it work for you.

Point your banners to the page your advertising, likely the
same page your 'funnel page' points to. Try to use banners
that will let you open up another window, so not to lose
your visitor to another site.

Using MLM banners gives more amplification to your
advertising. If you can find and use them instead of the run
of the mill banners, do so.

We will further amplify hits from our 'funnel page' with
'pop under' ads. These are preferred over 'pop up' ads as
they are not as intrusive. Point the 'pop under' ad to the
page you wish to advertise. Using an MLM 'pop under' gives
more leverage than other 'pop unders'. Remember, this is
about amplifying and focusing.

Some 'start page' programs don't like 'pop up' ads. Pay
attention to this when setting up your 'start page'
programs.

Like a funnel, your website is the focusing end, and your
'funnel page', banners, and 'pop under' ads funneling to
your website. Every time someone uses their 'start page'
program and your 'funnel page' is seen, your banners and
'pop under' are seen elsewhere and shown, amplifying your
hits.

Other tools that work well with your 'funnel page' are text
ad exchanges and rotators.

Text Ad Exchanges act like banners, but are link exchanges
instead. Like the banner ad, funnel it to your website.

I haven't found a use for a rotator, but you may, and I
don't want to leave this option out. If you use a rotator,
you will add your 'funnel page' to the rotation, and have
your 'start page' programs point to your rotator.

Your rotator will rotate your 'funnel page' with any other
page you need seen... like another 'funnel page'!?! hmmm...
I may have a use for that rotator.

When your done with your 'funnel page' you'll want to spend
time with your 'start page' programs clicking through websites
and advertising your 'funnel page'.

Look at what you see with new eyes. There are always ways to
