Website Promotion Secrets, Tips and Tricks
April 1st, 2010
In todays economic climate it’s more important then ever to be careful with your website promotion funds. I am going to try and give you some tips and tricks that should give you a huge difference in both costs of marketing and the leads you’ll be able to generate. If you use these methods it will give you results both short but primarily long-term so hopefully you don’t have to buy marketing.
The best way to boost your presence online is using free websites and blogs. What you put in is time, to set them up and get some content going. What this will do is give your potential customers multiple ways to find your business online and the more websites you have the easier it will be. There is an abundance of free Web 2.0 services out there that can provide free websites and blogs. For example blogger, squidoo, livejournal, blinkweb etc. Another advantage of using these types of services is that they tend to rank high for search engines so that opens another door for your customers.
An advantage blogs have over websites here is that they can push the new posts to search engines, when using websites you need to wait for the search engines to come find you. If you don’t want to buy marketing this can be a good option.
Personal referral is a very powerful when it comes to generating small business leads. This is something social networking platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook can help you with. They help you to connect easily with your customers and potential new customers. These services are completely free to use and a good way for you to connect with the people who are likely to actually want to listen to what you have to say.
Another way to drive traffic is to use your email signature line! Just include a link to your blog or website, in addition to the usual contact information. If you want to take this one step further you can include an offer to increase the chance of someone clicking the link. Offer something free that would be interesting to someone in your field of business.
Next we have article marketing, an often overlooked way to build backlinks to your website. The only cost here is time and it is fairly easy to do. When you are creating your articles make sure you know which keywords you’re trying to target so you can make sure the article is optimized for the given keywords. If done right this can be a powerful website promotion technique.
No matter which technique you choose to invest most of your efforts in it is important to know that everything you do online will have an impact. Everything you post online will make it easier for potential clients to find your business so just keep working and remember that its a long term investment. Free websites, social networks, blogs or article marketing all work well.
Using these methods combined with a web marketing system should give you an edge on most of your competitors.
Good luck.
