Low Cost Online Advertising
With the popularity of Google AdWords many businesses are turning to paying for top placement in search engines. This is a sure fire way to get exposure but who wants to pay all that money. I was paying about $5.00 a click for a swimming pool website in the winter! I on the other hand don't have the means of spending $5.00 a click, so I put together this short list of free advertising possibilities to market your website.
- Get a Myspace or Facebook account. Yes, it's free and if you spent about 2 hours a day just trying to get friends you will substantially increase your visitors. I started a myspace account and had 400 friends by the end of the day and about 300 hits to my website
-Start A Mailing List This sounds easier than it is. Trying to get people to sign up is the difficult part. You can offer a free download if they sign up or some kind of free offer. There has to be something in it for the visitor. But this will keep your visitors coming back.
-Optimize Your Website I will say this a thousand times but it's really the big key here. If you have a pretty site with no text, chances are no one will find you. Content is king, so write that content. Oh and it's free!
-Comment On Blogs or Write Your Own. In order for people to know you exist you got to talk and interact. The Internet is one big social gathering and you need to gain popularity and you have to talk and gossip to get ahead. Find a blog you really like and contribute to it everyday and add your link. Or you can write your own blog if you want. Wordpress and Blogger are free!
-Submit Articles To Ezinearticles.com I sometimes write articles regarding pool care and Internet marketing and will post them on my blog and on ezinearticles.com. A lot of web publishers will sift through these articles and use them on there website spreading out your link. Sometimes even I use them.
-Here Is The Key To Any Website Persistence! - Keep at it every day adding new content Patience! - Traffic will come with more to offer and time Plenty! - The more the better keep adding to your knowledge
