PROMOTING A WEBSITE

A website that gets few visitors is not very useful. So after you have created your website, it is important to promote it to make your intended audience aware of it and enable them to find it. There are several ways to accomplish that: 

Index your site with Internet search engines and directories- online services that function like phone directories for the Internet utilized by most Internet users when trying to find a website about a particular subject, product or service. 

Effective indexing of a website with search engines requires specialized techniques and elements incorporated into the design and layout of the web pages on your site, as well as the structure of the site. 

If you let us index your site with Internet search engines and directories, we can apply proven techniques for improving search engine results and incorporate the necessary indexing elements into your website.
 

Include references to your website and its features in other forms of marketing and advertising. A website should not exist in a vacuum but is just one piece of a broader marketing and promotion program for your organization. Include your website's address in your marketing thru print media, mailings, billboard ads, phone contacts, radio, television, etc.
 

Set up links to your website from related sites. If your organization belongs to a trade group, sells or distributes products manufactured by others, is involved with an activity that has fans, advocates, or special interest groups, etc.- then there will be existing websites that are not in direct competition with you, whose audience will be interested in your site. Arrange for links to your site on those related sites- or have us do that for you.

Set up fee-based links to your website on high traffic sites. If your business operates by utilizing high volume marketing with a fixed success rate, so traffic volume is determinative of sales, then consider placing a banner ad link for a fee on appropriate high traffic websites, to generate higher traffic to your website. We can assist you with that.
 

Utilize targeted mass-marketing to inform your audience about your website.  You can advertise to over 25,000 people a day for free by email, using bulk email software that provides current, valid email addresses for your target audience.

Some percentage of those who receive your bulk email will visit your website. Bulk email marketers have demonstrated that with a good e-mail sales letter, about 2% of the people who receive your e-mail advertisement will become your customers. 

If you are interested in conducting your own bulk email advertising, we can assist you in obtaining software to do that.
