- WAYS TO PROMOTE YOUR WEBSITE FOR FREE!
by Terri Seymour
So you just built your prize website. You put weeks of work into
making the best site possible. Everything is perfect. So, you wonder,
why is nobody coming to your site? The answer is simple: You Must
Promote!! Promote everyday and then promote some more.
There are many ways to promote your website that will cost you
nothing. Here are some of the best ways that I have found.
Link Exchanges
Set up a link exchange page and find sites that are complimentary
to yours. Email the webmaster and explain why you want a link exchange.
Tell them a little about your site and invite them to take a look.
Be selective about which sites you put your link on. More often
than not, the webmaster will exchange links.
You can also get on some link exchange email lists:
Message Boards
Get involved in message boards. Don't just post an ad and never come
back. Ask questions, answer questions, and get involved with the group.
Many people have had a lot of success with this method. You can search
over 310,000 forums at forumone.com
Publish an Ezine
If you are serious about your business you should definitely start
an ezine. You want to provide quality information as well as updates
and information on your site. This will be one way to gather emails
and keep your potential customers coming back. There are many sites
that will help you get started with an ezine:
Search Engines
You should manually submit to the top search engines. You should also
get listed in the minor engines and any directories you can find on
other sites. Get listed in as many places as you can (except possibly
FFA pages). I prefer not to place my ad on some of these FFA pages.
Here are the top search engines:
Do not submit to these too often, you could be banned. Every three
to four weeks is often enough.
Announcement Lists
There are hundreds of announcement list where you can announce
your website or your ezine or business opportunity. Make sure you
follow the rules for submitting your ads to each list. You can find
some of these lists at:When you have a website or ezine, you have to spend a lot of time
promoting. As you promote, you will learn more about the different
ways you can do this on the internet. You must keep at it and do
not give up when things look bad. It takes time to get your business
established online. Doing these things I have listed will help you
spread the word!
