Groove Funnels vs. Round Clicks (Which is Better for Building Landing Pages?)

Round Clicks

I was really encouraged and hopeful when I signed up for Round Clicks 30-day free trial.  Ultimately, I created 2 landing pages and 2 sales funnels, and although, they were relatively easy to create, they all had problems which I could not fix.  The first funnel I created would not open at all in any browser I tried, from Google Chrome, to MicroSoft Edge, to Safari, to Firefox.  After writing to support 3 times, they finally fixed it.  Then I created a landing page, which STILL after 28 days and writing to support will not open in any browser.  Then I created another funnel, which opens, but the browser window shows a url for a ultimate male enhancement supplement pill (very,very bad!!☹).  I ended up copying most of the source code, and making a copycat site on Google Sites (which is free).  After writing to support multiple times regarding this issue over 28 days, it still is not fixed.  Then I created another landing page, which also will not open in any browser window. So, overall Round Clicks was a big disappointment, and I would never spend money on Round Clicks, and I could never, in good conscience recommend Round Clicks to anyone.

Round Clicks Pros

1.  Easy to use

2.  Low price $49.00 per month for basic plan after 30-day free trial

3.  Affiliate program pays 25% commission

Round Clicks Cons

1.  Virtually non-existent customer support

2.  Pages rarely open in browsers after they are created

3.  Suspicious urls show up on pages that do open

Groove Funnels and Groove Pages

As I write this, currently Groove Funnels/Groove Pages allows users to crate 3 landing pages/funnels for free.  I don't know how long this promotion will last, but free is one of my favorite prices.  Groove Funnels/Pages have a lot of pre-made templates to use as a starting place, so all you have to do is edit the content, or you can start with a blank page.  At the top of the editing page, there are 5 icons of various device screen orientations.  One of the most difficult and frustrating parts of this platform, is getting all of the elements to be where they are supposed to be in all 5 of the device orientations.

Groove Funnels and Groove Pages Pros

1.  Three sites for FREE

2.  Two-tier affiliate program paying up to 40% recurring comissions

3.  Lots of pre-formatted templates to start from

Groove Funnels and Groove Pages Cons

1.  Difficult to get elements aligned properly so they display where they are supposed to display accross all device type screens.

2.  Upgrading can be expensive, but also rewarding.

The Key Elements to Internet Marketing A DIY Guide

 The Key Elements to Internet Marketing A DIY Guide

So you have a website, and you want to increase your traffic to sell your product. There are thousands of the websites just like yours, so how will you be seen? There are basically 3 options. You can pay some company thousands of dollars to market your site for you; you can hire someone full time to do the marketing for you; or you can do the marketing yourself. This guide will give you the basic knowledge you need to market your website successfully at your own pace.

First, you need to have realistic expectations. Web sites do not get in the top 10 in search engines over night. There is a lot of hard work that needs to be put into a site for it to rank high. I would grab a pen and paper and write down your main competitors. Then I would use the Google Toolbar to check their pagerank and incoming links to see how they rank. The higher the pagerank and more links pointing to your site, the higher your site will be in the search engines. Once you see how many links are pointing to their site and how good their pagerank is, you have an idea how much work is needed to get your site listed.

Link trading is the process in which you will get these links pointing to your site. You need to contact other similar, good ranked pages and tell them how trading links will benefit both sites, and then link to them, and in exchange they will link to you. The more pages linking to you the better, but remember quality, relevant high pagerank sites is what your looking for, you want your link to be on a pagerank 2 site as least, preferably 3+. Managing your link exchange program takes time, some software on the market can do this for you, some of the software is good, some bad. I would recommend adding the links to your site manually to start, until you get a better understanding of the SEO world.

Articles are another good method to establish links to your site. Unlike a regular link exchange which is just a sentence with a link, publishing an article you wrote will give other websites quality content about your business / products and also link back to your site. Most article sites do not require a link back to them, so when your link is published search engines count that link better then a standard link exchange because you are not linking back.

One-way links is just that, a link to your site, but in return you do not link back. Articles are great one-way links, but so are directories! There are numerous directories on the internet ranging from shopping to home improvement. You can go to these sites, and either for free, or a small fee you can submit your site to them. Having your site listed in the major directories benefits your site in 2 ways. First, you get a link back to your site, increasing your link popularity, and second, people searching the directories for your product may see your site and buy from you.

As you can see, getting your site listed in the major search engines will take some time to do, you need to manage a link exchange program, submit your article to publishers and directories, and maintain your current website, but remember if you take your time, and establish your presence steadily over time, then your website will begin climbing in the search engines, and you will begin to enjoy the benefits of increased traffic.
