			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not all aspects of Internet marketing involves &#8220;rocket science&#8221; knowledge. Let&#8217;s face it, much of what makes up effective marketing for a church or religious organization is just your typical &#8220;roll up you sleeves&#8221; and get to it type of work. The failure is not energy and effort, but the focused knowledge of what needs to be done.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong. In some areas, especially in the area of research, you need some additional levels of experience and expertise to do higher level work. I include that statement from experience since I perform a tremendous amount of Internet marketing for businesses throughout the US and Canada. <img src='http://ministrymaven.com/MMaven/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But getting back to the point, there is a tremendous amount of effective Internet marketing that could be accomplished on behalf of church and religious organizations &#8230; if they had a group of volunteers that were not only informed on what to do, but could grasp a bit of the big picture to see how their contributions fit in.</p>
<p>Producing video training in a LMS &#8220;Learning Media System&#8221; environment might be the perfect training tool since you can go through the initial training segments, be tested for comprehension, interact with a trainer, and review the material for as long as you have access to it. Another option would just be downloadable video training segments.</p>
<p>Internet marketing for churches has some distinct differences from marketing businesses. Having 15 1/2 years in serving 4 churches as a pastor makes that abundantly clear. Tapping into the power of outreach through the Internet for a church is potentially more powerful.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article is about the benefits of <a href="http://taguchi-traffic-blog.com/imagine-being-able-to-watch-video-footage-your-visitors.php" target="_blank">web video analytics</a>, why you should use it, and the key things you need to focus on with web analytics.</p>

<p>If your goal is to get customers to visit your website and have their visit end in a purchase, you must have a website that is easy to navigate and informative. It must be attractive and it must clearly direct customers to the next link. It&#8217;s important that people do not experience any difficulty when trying to find something they want. What signs will tell you if this is what is going on with your website? If you have a languishing sales or high bounce ratios, this might be the heart of the problem. You can use web analytics to learn more about people&#8217;s behavior on your site..</p>
<p><a href="http://taguchi-traffic-blog.com/imagine-being-able-to-watch-video-footage-your-visitors.php" target="_blank">web video analytics</a> are used to keep track of what happens on your website.  You can learn how many conversions your site is getting, and what people do to produce this result. This knowledge can be very beneficial when you want to make your website better.</p>
<p>By knowing where your customers come from, you can target your advertising towards them and improve your ad budget. And if you know where people are going when they leave your website (especially if these people aren&#8217;t purchasing what you sell) you can learn what they were really looking for, that isn&#8217;t on your site. This can help you to make any necessary improvements. This is a key feature of web analytics which will be of assistance.</p>
<p>Another good use for web analytics is to use the data in order to make it easier for people to find what they are most often looking for. If there are certain pages within your website people are always visiting, you can make it easier for them to find these pages, which will make it more likely you will get conversions. Anything that you can do to increase the usability of your website is a good thing.</p>
<p>There are free software options that you can get in order to help you with this, including one from Google. It doesn&#8217;t even have to cost you anything extra, and it can lead to a large increase in profits if you know how to use it.</p>
