If you're looking for a highly effective method of increasing your sales, then mini sites may be your answer. Mini sites are one of the most effective marketing tools online. They can also be used with any affiliate programs you may be promoting. The sole purpose of a mini site is to attract highly targeted traffic. The more targeted the better. For example, if you have a web site that sells a number of products, a good mini site would focus on one specific product instead of all of the products. You could create a mini site for each product you offer.

Incentives such as a free bonus for purchasing the product or even a personal recommendation are a great way to "presell" the product. By offering useful articles, reviews and resources, you can also educate your customers, who will then buy your products based on the trust and rapport you've been able to build.

Briggs & Stratton Power Products
One of our clients has created several mini sites highlighting their standby and portable generators, pressure washers and outboard motors. Each of Briggs & Stratton Power Products' mini sites are streamlined with a large amount of content that focuses on each individual product category. For example www.outdoorcleaning.com focuses on pressure washers. This mini site features valuable tips and demonstrates proper techniques to effectively use the product on any surface. Care and storage of the product, accessories, and ask the expert (Ask Pat) are also available on their site. By building these mini sites, they have made it easier for their visitors to find and view specific content related to these product categories rather than weeding through it on their corporate site.

Search Benefits
Each mini site is focused on the optimization of one specific product or category. By concentrating on just a few keyword phrases, this will assist in ranking higher in the Search Engine for your targeted audience. Remember ... the tighter the targeting the better.

The reason why mini sites are becoming so effective now is because they are "direct response sites" and the visitors are usually targeted individuals who have a genuine interest in what the site has to offer.

In summary, build a content site that addresses your consumers needs, optimize it for the search engines, and be ready to hang in there for the long haul if you want to achieve success. For immediate results, rather than obsessing with organic search engine results, you might be better off by focusing your energies on one of your profitable products, building an effective mini site landing page, and learning how to craft pay per click ads that produce high click through rates of targeted, profitable traffic.
