Promote your web
site
You
built your web site, bought a domain name, and
downloaded your files to your server. Your now
waiting for visitors to improve your sales, but
nobody comes. That's one of the most common
problems that companies have with their web site's.
A web site is like every other promotion tool,
you have to choose the right places for your
publicity to show up.
First
of all, you need to registrate your site to the
most renowned search engines on the web, or even
better, to all the search engines you can find.
Most people on the internet use these search
engines to find what they are searching for.
However, it is a long process to sign every
registration form. Some companies such as "Deja Vu
Promotion" are
offering there services to registrate your web
site for you at a low price. This way your site
will be registrated on hundreds of web sites, and
the people will easly find your site when they
are searching for those kind of products or
services.
Another
way to attract people to your web site is to
trade your banner on a banner network such as; Link Exchange. Every time you
put two of their banners on your web site, the
network will add your banner on one of it's
members site's. Once this first step is done, the
network will add your banner on a member site
every time you receive 2 visitors on your web
site. Most of the banner networks provide stats
about the amount of visitors you receive on your
site. Once again, this could be a long and
complicated process for people without knowledge
of internet promotion.
With
some programs such as Click Trade, you can even
earn money by adding one of their banners to your
web site. They own a network of affiliate
companies, and these companies pay you every time
someone goes on your web site and clicks on their
banner that you put on your site. The amount of
profits vary for every adviser. Some of them pay
you $0.01, while some other could pay you $0.15
for every click generated on their banner from
your web site. However, you'll need to know about
html cause, the only way to add a banner on your
site is by adding a html code they give you.
These
3 options above are a good way to promote your
web site, but you could even promote your website
on your own. There's the radio and tv spot, ad's
in the newspapers etc... Although a cheaper way
to do it is to send your publicity by fax or
email. All you need is a database of fax or email.
Deja Vu
Promotion also have this
kind of product to sell at a low price. They have
about 300,000 emails in their database. You can
choose through their different categories. One of
them are for Canada media directory, it could be
a good way to announce your site to every media
in Canada. If your lucky, a newspaper will talk
about your web site that way.
Good
luck
