Your virtual assistant website




So when you wish to build your virtual assistant website you are looking to build a website that will rank well and that will be seen by your prospective clients. Therefore search engine placement will be very important to you and you will need to incorporate proper search engine optimisation concepts in building your site.

You also need a website to show you are professional, to advertise, to update your information which is available 24/7 for prospective clients. And it's just generally good for customer service to have a website these days. Read more here.

I personally built this site through Site Built It! (SBI!) as they are a combined site building, site hosting and site marketing package. In the first 3 months of my site being live on the net, I already ranked extremely well in the top 3% of all sites on the internet. Not bad at all. Great actually.

Building my site through SBI! allowed me to build this in minimal time and I have no website building knowledge at all and with limited HTML required. It's so much fun too and you are assisted along each step of the way on how to build your site properly. There is even a forum of hundreds of other SBI! site builders to assist you with all your questions.

And it was so cheap I thought it couldn't be for real.



Your Ranking compared to the other 100 million websites

In two words... SBI! is all about "Profitable RESULTS". No traffic = No profits. SBI! OVERdelivers on both. Here's one way to look at sites built with SBI!... Alexa Traffic Pyramid

And here is another... hundreds of successful SBIers all on one site. I guarantee you'll never find a Web host that can display results like this... I was blown away by this link... Alexa Results for SBI SItes

Put your existing site to the Alexa Point Test

If you have an existing website put it to the traffic test. See where you rank currently. Alexa Traffic Rank Test

Marketing your virtual assistant website for search engine optimisation

To get your site noticed it's wise to get your site out there in as many ways as possible and try to improve your search engine ranking as much as possible.

Links reciprocal and non-reciprocal

It's beneficial to submit your website to link directories, which most are non reciprocal link directories (ie: they don't require that you link back to them) and this is usually free, not always though. I believe you don't really receive any traffic from these directories, but this link with appropriate keywords can increase your search engine ranking.

Also you can link to other websites which will require you to link back to them on your site (ie: a reciprocal link) and this too increases your search engine ranking. These links can also bring in traffic if you link to a site relevant to your site and that compliments your site, thus receiving interested traffic.

Press Releases

Sending out a press release to introduce your business to the internet community is a great idea. You can submit a free press release at www.free-press-release.com for example. I'm sure there are many other such sites. By doing this you are alerting businesses out there that you exist and the more press releases you submit the more people will know about you. You can then add your virtual assistant website link at the bottom of the release so they can visit you immediately and this creates a back link as well, great for rankings.

Article submission

Again as with a press release you receive all the same benefits as listed above and you are drawing people directly to visit your website. You can write an article about the VA industry at whatever angle you wish, thus creating interest in visiting your site and services. Here is a list of article submission sites for your information.

Additional Income for your virtual assistant website

As an added bonus to your site you may wish to generate another stream of income through GoogleAdsense. You generate income through targeted ads being placed on your pages that are relevant to the content of your site. When visitors click on those ads to visit that other company, service, etc, you receive payment. It's free to join
