Search Engine Killers
By Denise OBerry
Over half of all
US online adults use search engines most or every time they are
online, according to a recent "How America Searches" study from
icrossing. "How America Searches" takes a detailed look at why
people turn to search engines, which engines have the most loyal
users, how well people can distinguish natural and paid results, and
other questions.
This kind of
information can be incredibly helpful to your business. For example,
the vast majority of search engine users (88%) say they use search
engines to research specific topics and shopping is the activity of
choice for over half (51%).
So what happens if
one of those surfers lands on your website from the search engines
and they're doing research for a product or service they'd like to
buy? Are they gone in an instant never to return again? That could
kill your business.
Maybe not if you
have a clever way to capture just who those visitors are. And that
is very easy to do. You have only a few seconds to grab the contact
details of this visitor. You can accomplish that objective by
offering a free report download or newsletter sign up that compels
them to give you their contact information in exchange for your
valuable freebie.
Once you have
those details captured, you have many opportunities to connect with
that prospect over and over again.
