I wrote this review because I noticed there were a lot of websites offering web designs/templates etc.. But also with a lot of different sort of templates and different prices as well. Therefore I checked quite some sites and tried to answer the following question:

How to find the best suitable template for your online business?
When starting your own business online, whether it is a eStore or an affiliate site, you probably will look for the right template which fits into your target group.

Whether you are you focusing on financial professionals, women above 40, mums etc., for all these different target groups there are standard designs which can be edited easily.

All of the following websites I review here below do offer a large selection of web templates.

If you are unfamiliar with HTML and CSS or you just wish to save your time, website templates are the perfect solution for you.

Most of them are having free samples but for a lot there are restrictions: for example you are not allowed to use these free sample templates with commercial purposes (including but not limited to selling them, using them as your online stores or including them into your portfolios). You also may not install them and use as your own websites and projects. Free samples are presented with a trial purpose solely and are for your personal use only.

These are the Top number 1 in their category

These websites all received

Best Search	I like this site of Template store very much because there is a very clear overview of the specific templates for Dreamweaver, Frontpage & Expression Web, Golive, Flash, CSS & specific eCommerce websites. On the upper top and on the left of the site you can see directly which templates could fit into your software. If you choose for example of a general website template, then they are independent of HTML editor and come with Photoshop (psd) source files. They are all XHTML valid.
Best Assortment	Template Monster is one of the most popular template sources. Their database reach over 15.000 product. General website templates, flash webistes and all other products are completely customizable and ready for immediate download. What I liked is that although they have a large assortment, they are still able to offer you a clear overview.
Best Prices	This site, so-called ¨Kingdom of the Templates¨, as well offers enough templates (52 categories) with premium designs. An extra thing is though that when you register you can download some free CSS and WordPress templates which look really good. As you might know is that there are many templates of WordPress which are for free, but with this site you can use these free templates to get some design/color ideas and customize it with the standard template you would like to buy which suit for your software (Frontpage, dreamweaver etc.).

Also interested in saving money on your advertising campaigns and secure a large and loyal customer base? It is easy: create an online advertising campaign which is effectively.

The new advertising is online advertising. The most important thing is that you do it the right way. People are getting tired of full mailboxes. If they didn’t ask for information, they don’t want to receive it either. As an online advertiser you have to reach your audience through methods they are already using.

The important thing is to think about your marketing strategy. Since the tracking systems are much more secure you can precisely define your commercial goals and ROI or how much you would like to spend and how much direct sales or new leads do you want to receive in return? Thus:
Internet needs another way of approach than traditional channels like the paper or radio.
The three simple but very important steps for an effective online advertising campaign

1.Track customer search methods

Everybody knows the three main search engines: Google, Yahoo, MSN (Bing). Which one is the most popular among your target group? Target Customers by Geographic Location as well.

Yahoo Small Business for example gives you the opportunity to display your ad to customers throughout the entire market, or select specific regions or cities.
One tip: Starting PPC (pay-per-click) Advertising is without risk:

When you want to start using AdWords of Google you can get a free 50 dollar coupon through different suppliers (VISA, Dell). An overview is given on google services site.

If you try to find a free Coupon for MSN AdCenter .. you will find a lot of links but all the old ones (from 20o8 etc.) are all not valid anymore. If you do need Webhosting as well, then you can check Aplus.net or Godaddy.com because they are offering coupons for MSN AdCenters.

But for Google, you can try your PPC campaign out, without risk. And if this ‘trial’ is working out, you should definitely invest some time in education or an experienced company specialized in PPC, because that will pay off at the end.

There is a site as well which claims that they can give you a tool where you can get ads from Yahoo, Google, MSN for free. I haven’t checked it myself yet, but I did read about it and they have tips about how to get a lot of turnover from GoogleAds.

But of course that is different than getting the google ads for free. Thus watch out for these scam sites.

Shortly written this is what they say:

1. Select as many popular keywords as you like;
2. You bid the highest possible price for all of them (getting you to number 1 for each of them);
3. You fill that website with advertising and affiliate links which will make you money.
   This is the system. Can be quite risky though. You can try this when having a budget.

To train yourself for more PPC: Affilorama provides a lot of info, SEO tools and basic PPC training but when we are talking about PPC. They have a special 12 weeks Trainingsprogram (called AffiloBlueprint) and the last 3 weeks are specialised on PPC (mainly Google).

Another good trainingscenter online is: SEO Book. On their homepage with free info they have specifically for PPC Campaigns: videos about ad testing, bid management techniques  etc. You can login for free and check some questions like ‘How to improve your conversion rates or how to set up an effective split-run campaign? etc.

When set up an account on one of the search engines or/and found good sites where you would like to advertise on,what to do next?

2. Choose the right Keywords for your Ad. Enter words or phrases related to the products and services your business provides. And of course at least 1 trigger to mention the WHY to click on your ad?

As mentioned earlier in other articles: a profound keyword research is a MUST. I recommend google keyword tool.

3. Then Promote your company products and services in a recognizable & innovative way

As you might know, when you are operating offline as well, you should integrate your on- and offline branding strategy. That means you should include the same logo, colors, design in your off-and online marketing material. When using Online Advertising you can think of a dynamic banner, since that is giving the best attention as well as the top right position of a webpage.

Banners for your online advertising campaign in general cannot contain long text format, so to get your click from your potential client you therefore can include a question. This is in general creating more curiosity (and therefore more clicks).
Also this techniques is quite common (and good to do as well) when advertising on Google AdWords etc.

Thus if you find out the best marketing strategy for your company and take care of the steps above, your company can save a lot of money and will be successful in online advertising. I will talk later some more about PPC.
