The Importance of Referrer Logs
So what is a referrer log and why is it important? Basically referrer logs help you analyze the traffic coming to your website
Whist each referrer log program may differ in different respects they will incorporate to some degree some of the following information:-
-Which pages were accessed the most or least. -The keywords which were used to find your site -The search engines which sent the traffic to you -The type of technology used by your visitors -Which spiders visited your site -What the average length of time was that visitors spent on your site -The number of page views per day -Any server errors -Which were the top entry and exit pages -The bandwidth. This is the measure of the traffic on the site. It is measured in kilobytes of data transferred. -A summary is provided which gives information on the activity which has taken place on a particular day.
So where do you get this information? By default many hosting accounts do not generally include referrer logs as a standard practice but they can be provided normally at an additional monthly cost
There are also relatively inexpensive FTP software programs available which can help you through logging into the host server.
A quality log analysis software program can help you read the information since the raw data is often rather cumbersome to read.
Is it worth the additional cost?
Many people would say that providing your traffic is increasing what is the point of analyzing further especially as this will take up more of your precious time.
The advantages are:-
By knowing which search engines are sending you the most traffic you can boost your optimization strategies by creating additional pages for other relevant keyword phrases.
On the other hand if a particular engine is not sending you sufficient traffic then you can consider alternative strategies to rectify the position.
Analyzing your referrer logs it is likely that you will find certain keywords/phrases are more successful than others which means that you can eliminate those which are not pulling in the visitors with and replace with those that are.
However you should note that referrer information can be disabled on certain browsers. This is because in certain cases it may violate privacy.
Some software can also be used to block or filter out referrer information so as to keep websites private. This can result in other issues though as some web servers do not allow access to certain parts of their site to browsers that do not transmit the correct referrer information. The reason for this is to prevent unauthorised bandwidth or deep linking*
(*Deep Linking on the www is making a hyperlink that points to a specific page or image on another website’s main or home page. Such links are called deep links and are considered a violation of netiquette.)
Whilst there is some software that claims to overcome this issue it is not too effective as the referrer can be easily faked.
So is the use of referrer logs worthwhile?
Only you can judge but the more you can fine tune your marketing efforts the more successful you will be.

Client Referral Magnet: One (1!) Simple Idea (A Case Study)
A few months ago, I freely recommended to a decent sized sales professional a tiny client referral strategy that had enormous potential. Obviously, generating referrals more consistently in your business is one of the most effective marketing strategies you can undertake. But the problem with client and customer referrals is they are often far too random and passive.
Most business professionals simply have no set referral system or strategy.
So the referral idea I brought to the table had to involve a way that would create repeated action, and do so in a consistent fashion. It also had to invoke cross efforts on behalf of the sales profession and the client who was on the giving end of the referral.
So let me cut to the chase. The referral system idea I revealed was simply this…
Create a referral club for your business.
Nothing terribly brilliant, but short and sweet and the key: it could be IMPLMENTED! At the heart of this strategy would need to be a way of creating a sense of exclusivity, belonging, specialness and loyalty to refer. All are key elements.
]]>
It would also need to encourage clients to provide you with, you guessed it: incentives to send you not just a lot of referrals, but more importantly, engage momentum. And *that* momentum would not always be directly caused by the client.
Let me get into the…
THE TEACHING POINT
Clients are made members of a VIP club membership.
For example, in the above case, this sales professional created an appreciation dinner that was exclusive to club members and those friends and associates that were of similar client make-up.
He then partnered with a local business: a gift basket retailer, and had his assistant issue a referral rewards card at that dinner. When a client took their referral rewards “club card” to this business, they automatically received a 10 percent discount on any gift basket they purchased.
The gift basket merchant received a new customer. The client received a discounted product. And the sales professional is remembered at every step of the transaction, creating tangible word of mouth referral system.
These types of programs are nothing new. Credit card companies typically call them affinity programs. In this case, the sales professional told me he now generates 10 consistent referrals every month just from the VIP referral club he created. The word of mouth marketing is indeed alive and strong in his practice.
So, what are some other ideas on how to adopt such a referral program?
Send a special mailing, a special newsletter, or a discount travel offer.
You can do this and improve referral flow to you, all through using the combined power of leverage and partnering. And at the center this momentum is a true, tangible benefit for your clients.
Create a referral club!
Invite clients to that club. And reach out to like-minded businesses that can benefit from your ideal client profile.
Whatever type of club you decide on, just be sure it enhances your image and promotes ongoing dialogue with your clients. Remember: It has to be a two-way street.

Leave a comment7 Reasons You Want Referral Business and How to Get Them
Article by Jeffrey Czajka
Studies have proven that there is one reason why people don’t do more referral business: they don’t ask. There are two reasons why, they forget or they don’t have a strong enough relationship with their clients, so they don’t feel comfortable
The truth is every professional should strive to have all of their business be referral because the benefits of referral business are undeniable and extensive.
Referrals are more professional Referrals make your job easier and more fun Referral clients are more likely to call you back Referrals are motivating Referrals are more profitable You have more credibility with referrals Referrals take less time and resources
Keys to getting more referrals:
Ask for them – The worst they can say it no. Have a specific and systematic way of asking for referrals. For instance, ask first within the organization, then within the industry, then within the industries that industry interacts. The process you use is not the most critical point, the critical point is your consistency, and making sure you don’t forget. Do not be too general and ask “who else do you know?” This will have him or her thinking about too many people. They will end up saying, “I can’t think of anyone. I’ll call with some names later.” We all know what happens later, you never get the call or email. Plant referral seeds throughout your sales cycle. During the course of your conversation(s)/presentation(s), the more people you get them to mention (the seeds), the more people you have to go back and harvest as referrals at the end of your conversation/presentation. Bring out and develop relationships, which you can later go back and use as referrals. At the end of the day, the process of getting a referral is much less intimidating then the process of approaching someone completely new and with whom you have no history or reference point. Even more, referral business is generally much more rewarding then cold calling. Obviously, the referral process will differ depending on your industry and/or type of business (B2B, B2C, etc.), but no matter what you can develop a system. Increasing your referral business will make your job easier, your work more profitable, and your life more enjoyable. So next time start with the basics, and simply remember to ask. http://richcontentzone.com/top7-or-10-tips/14.php

A Message to my Referrals
I have almost 150 referrals on Bukisa, and that is not including my second level referrals, of which I know I have at least fifty. They are coming in at a rate of about two a day.
Making money on Bukisa takes time, because you have to write articles, which get clicks from being found in a Google search. Remember to include your referral link to Bukisa in each one, as a banner link, or link text.
You can do this by highlighting a banner photo, right clicking copy, paste it into your article, and then highlight again, and press the add link button, and add your referral link, which is found on your dashboard.
You have to learn about search engine optimization methods such as title choice, keywords, and backinks, which help your articles to compete in Google searches.
You have to learn about referral finding strategies, and you have to offer advice to your referrals so that they can find referrals of their own.
It is not a get rich quick scheme. Nevertheless, I am making anywhere from -6 a day at the moment, and most of that is from my referral’s article earnings, and I am getting more new referrals everyday.
You might say that that is not a lot of money for the work that I put in this year, but this is a residual income. If I stopped working now, I would keep getting that five dollars a day, for many years, and it would increase on it’s own.
I have over two hundred articles online, (most of them on the first page of Google), with my referral link at the bottom of each one. My Facebook page Writng for profit is on the first page of a Google search on writing for profit.
I have an IM Faceplate, I make groups on Sidetick, and I write articles on other paid article writing sites like Triond, and Squidoo about Bukisa.
I get many followers and friends on social networking sites, which allows me to message them directly. I keep saved messages like my welcome to Bukisa message, in the drafts folder of my email, so I can copy and paste them quickly.
I have tried advertising using pay per click, using a Google Adwords voucher, but I am unsure as to how long that will take to pay off if you pay the full cost. You can bid for an Adwords voucher on Ebay, or get a one when you get free business cards at Vistaprint.
If I find one referral who is as successful as me, or two that are half as successful, it will make me thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands of dollars over time.
I want to keep in touch with my referrals, so please message me or leave a comment. Leave a link to your most successful article so far, if you have written a dozen or more, and I will build backlinks to it to improve it’s Google rating, because I make money when my referrals do.
I have spent maybe 500 hours working on Bukisa this year, but even if I stopped now, and only continued to get the same daily income I am getting now, I will make about .50 an hour for each of the hours I spent doing it, when viewed over a ten year period.
That is the difference between residual income, and a normal payment method. The more work you do on Bukisa, and on other sites promoting Bukisa, the faster your income begins to rise. I hope that this message to my referrals was helpful, and I hope that you keep writing for Bukisa for a long time. If you haven’t joined, then join as my referral below.

Alternatives to Doctor Referrals
You want the best course of treatment for your condition or illness. Sometimes, you may disagree with or be wary of the advice given by your primary physician. If you have been referred to a specialist and you do not feel it is the appropriate recommendation for you, there are other options.
Get a Second Opinion
You have the right to obtain a second opinion from a doctor before visiting a specialist. Getting another opinion is common when a doctor has recommended surgery or given a diagnosis. It is your body and your choice as to what your treatment should consist of. Therefore, you want to be 100 percent sure you are making the right decision. It may be best to get a second opinion if:
You do not trust your primary care physician
You are skeptical about treatment
You do not feel that the recommended specialist is right for you
Do not be afraid to ask your primary doctor for a referral for a second opinion, if needed.
Remember that it is your right. Usually, your medical group or health plan must approve your doctor’s referral. If your problem is urgent (a serious threat to your life), your plan must reply to your request in three days.
Alternative Therapies
Today, alternative therapy is becoming increasingly popular when patients are told they need to undergo surgery. Whether this is your case, or you are suffering from pain or an illness that is unresponsive to other treatment, you have the option of trying an alternative therapy.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has helped some patients manage pain caused by diseases in the muscles, bones and joints.
This includes sprains, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and headaches. The ancient Chinese medicine can also help manage:
Diseases of the nervous system, including recovery from a stroke, nervous disorders like anxiety and depression, and nerve paralysis
Digestive issues such as indigestion, stomach ulcers, gall stones, diarrhea and piles (varicose veins occurring around the anus and rectum)
Respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis
Addictions such as smoking and overeating
Yoga
The number of people practicing yoga in the United States today has tripled within the past decade, and is now estimated between 15 and 18 million. As yoga practice has become mainstream, curiosity regarding its potential as a therapy for various diseases has also increased. Studies have revealed that yoga can effectively help alleviate stress, which has been linked to high blood pressure. Some yoga practicioners have also found relief from chronic pain from a back injury, as well as knee pain and hip pain. Yoga has also shown to help alleviate anxiety, especially cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Meditation
Meditation is usually practiced for spiritual purposes, but the benefits of meditation also include physical and mental relaxation. Because of its calming effects, meditation is believed to protect against a number of stress-related health problems.
According to some experts, the benefits of meditation may include:
Relief of stress and/or anxiety
Pain management
Improvements in sleep
Improved mood and symptoms of depression
Research suggests that meditation may boost your heart health and reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease. In a study published in 2009, scientists discovered that practicing meditation was linked to improved visual memory, a promise for those with Alzheimer’s disease.
How to Get More Leads And Referrals Every Time You Speak
Public speaking is one of the best ways to generate leads and referrals, especially in today’s market. Why? Because you need to be visible to sell. A few years ago, I did very little marketing and still got amazing results. But that’s not how it is now. Today you need to be seen and you need to be speaking in public.
When you’re up close and personal, people get to know you through your words, body language and vocal variety, and they know whether or not they want to work with you. This is why public speaking works better than any other marketing strategy out there.
How exactly do you get those leads when you speak?
Your Elevator Speech
You need to have a great elevator speech so that people not only know what you do in 10 seconds or less, but they want to know more. This is how to get great leads.
I’ve received lots and lots of leads at networking events. People ask me what I do, I share it with them and BOOM, they’re a lead. If someone gives you their business card, that’s a lead. Make sure you follow up with them within 24 hours.
And don’t try to sell them standing up! The minute you start to get into it, someone will interrupt—because you’re at a networking event. You’ll never have that opportunity for closure, and you may not get their card. So don’t even go there. The only time you can sell standing up is when you are a platform speaker in front of a group.
If someone asks “how much do you charge?” or “how do you work?” say “I’d really love to sit down with you and share that one-on-one without all these distractions. May I have your business card? I’ll call you tomorrow and we can set a date.”
Don’t just show up and “throw up” all over people. Take your time, get that lead and follow up the next day. So, one way to get leads is networking. And not just networking, but having that polished elevator speech that attracts people to you; the one that says, “here’s the benefit of what it is that I do.”
Your Magnetic Self-introduction
In 25 seconds or less, your self-introduction needs to be so benefit-driven and so magnetic that people will want more. They will seek you out to give you their business card. I’ve made thousands of dollars on my elevator speech and my self-introduction because they are benefit driven, clear and concise, and people get it.
The secret to persuasion it to find out what people want and give it to them! It sounds simple, but believe me, most people don’t do it. Something happens when we get in front of someone who shows interest in our product or service. We turn into selling and sliming the person. They just want to walk away and not even give you a card. So instead, be interested, not interesting. Be interested in them, and not interesting yourself.
A little trick that I teach all my clients is when someone gives me a card and I see it as a hot lead, I fold the corner of the card. I’ve trained my staff to know that that means a serious follow up and phone call within 24 hours. Always follow up, even if you don’t feel like it!
And don’t change your core message! People change their message like they’re changing their underwear! Your core message is the reason you are in business and the thing that you do for people, whether it’s saving their lives or saving their businesses. Never change it! People have to hear it 7 to 9 times before they actually get it. Don’t sabotage yourself by changing it.
This whole speaking thing won’t work if you keep changing your core message, if it’s not benefit driven, or if you’re not clear and concise.
Your Signature Talk
Use your signature talk to get more business cards and referrals!
The Raffle: At the close of your talk, invite people to participate in a raffle. Give something away. If you have a product or book, give that away because it will give you an opportunity to talk about it. If not, a gift card works just as well. The key is to get 100% participation. So a card might not do it. Give something of value, describe it, and talk about the value. Then collect their business cards. Pick a card and give your prize away.
I still use this strategy today—and I’ve built my database in less than 7 years to over 8,000 people! These are people who have either seen me speak or heard me through a tele-class and stayed on my list because they’re interested in public speaking.
I have someone who just joined my Protégé program, and she said that she’s been following me for 6 years! So you just never know when people will be ready to engage in your service.
The only way that building your database works is if you take those cards and enter them into a database that you can send emails from. Don’t let them sit on your desk. Think of those cards as money! It’s money to you and to the people you can help.
Those are what I consider warm leads. So how do you get HOT leads from speaking?
No Q&A: To get hot leads, instead of doing a Q&A, I invite people who have questions to come talk to me at the end of my talk. Only the ones who are REALLY interested are going to come up to me afterwards. Again, I don’t sell standing up—because now I’m not on the stage, right? I get their business card and make an appointment to talk to them later. That is how to turn the warm leads into hot leads. Invite them to come talk to you after your talk.
If you’re not going to follow up, then collecting business cards and giving away those gifts will not create leads for you. So you MUST follow up! And it doesn’t necessarily mean follow up with an email. The more personable it is, the better.
After my talk, I send out an email to everyone who was there and just say something like, “it was really nice meeting you at such-and-such event. I hope that you get out there and start speaking. If there’s anything I can do to support you, let me know.”
The ones who give me hot leads, get a personal note. They still get the email, but they’ll get a handwritten note, and I will call them within 24 hours.
The One-on-One Strategy:
Whenever I go to a networking event, it’s not about me getting clients; it’s about me interviewing people to be my clients. It’s as if you’re interviewing them to see if they have potential, or if they’re a fit for your product or to be on your team or whatever it might be.
Ask appropriate questions instead of selling. “When it comes to your health, what do you like most about it?” Or “what’s the biggest challenge?” “When it comes to your finances, what’s the biggest challenge that you have? What’s the thing you like about it?” Start by asking questions and have a conversation.
Because you’re already acting interested, it’s very easy for you to ask them if they know of anyone who would be interested in XYZ. Again, it comes down to the benefit of what it is that you do. If you’re selling beauty it could be, “Out of all the people you know between the ages of 30 and 60, who is really interested and finicky about their skin?” Be very concise about what that benefit is and ask them for a referral.
The Referral Form Strategy:
When you’re trying to get referrals from the stage, it’s slightly different. The verbal script is similar but you want to make sure you have forms to hand out. For instance, I used to do this at my Persuasive Speaking Mastery seminar and got so many referrals that I could not follow up on all of them.
What I’m about to share with you is a license to print money. Here’s how it works:
You have a form—you call it a referral form. The referral form has about 5 or 6 lines at the very top part of the form for Jane Doe who is giving the referral. There needs to be a space for the date, phone number, email address, and of course, the name of the person doing the referrals. Underneath are 5 to 6 boxes that each have lines for name, email, phone number and a little comment box for a note about who this referral is.
From the stage (this goes into your close) you say something like, “My business, like your business, thrives on referrals from others. What I’d like to do now is to invite you to refer some of your best clients and customers. The one who comes up with the most referrals will get this prize” (and then you give them a prize). If you only have 30 minutes to speak, you cannot do more than one close, so I’m not suggesting that you do a raffle and this. When you have 45 minutes to an hour you can do this strategy.
Remember, any time you ask people to stop and do something else (whether it’s one person on the phone or many in an audience), it disconnectsthem from you. And when you haven’t even built rapport yet, it’s a total disconnect. So always try to avoid creating any kind of disconnect from your audience. The only reason we can disconnect for this strategy is because it’s only once and it’s for a greater good.
Now, before you hand out the form, take a minute to educate them on what a good referral looks like. People don’t know. For example I would say, “A good referral for me is someone who wants to get out there and start speaking about their business or someone who wants to become a powerful public speaker and grow their business doing it.”
This strategy is really powerful because you’re going to get the person who’s in the room, plus 5 or 6 of their best friends or best customers. With smart phones and Blackberries, most people carry their clients’ information with them. Every time I do this strategy I get so many leads that I can’t follow up on them all.
Again, if you know you’re going to use this strategy in your talk, it takes extra time. The business card strategy will take maybe 5 minutes. This takes longer because they’re digging into their phones and they’re writing names, so you need to allow for that in your talk. Having an hour to talk is best when you use this strategy.
Follow Up!
Make sure that the next day you allow at least half the day to follow up on the leads and referrals, or at least have someone in place who will follow up on them for you. The later it gets, the colder those leads get.
When you follow up, you will want to use the person’s name who gave their information to you. You can say, “Hi Greg, this is Arvee and my friend Jane Doe gave me your name.” And then you can say, “You know Jane right? Yeah, she’s really great! Well, she thought so much of you that she referred you to me.” And now you can start a conversation.
Keep Calling!
Don’t call once. This is a hot lead! Keep calling until you get a response. Most people give up too quickly. But these people are interested; they took the time to walk up to you after your talk and give you a business card. Life just gets in the way sometimes. Business gets in the way. They could be out of town or out of the country. You don’t know, so don’t give up! Most people give up after 2 or 3 calls. It’s usually the 7thone that will finally go through, and your future client will appreciate that you cared enough to not give up on them.
Be Friendly, Be Brief
Now, when you leave that message, make it a friendly message. Never say, “Hi, I’m calling to follow up…” That has sales written all over it. I like to say, “I’m calling to reconnect, we met the other day, you expressed an interest…”
If you do leave a voicemail, don’t leave a big long discussion about why you’re calling. Just say who you are, where you met, and that you’re just looking to reconnect with them. Something short and sweet.
Speak Your Way to Wealth
