Smile 20 easy and or free ways to promote

20 easy and or free ways to promote your web site or store.

"Hi Everyone


Here are some free and better ways to promote your web site.


List your site in free directories.



Blog and or post fourms but only when their relevant to what your doing or selling...Don't spam!


use free classified ads ( i would try to stay off craig's list to many scammers)



Write quailty articles about what you do or a product you sell. add your link into the article
near the end of the page so that when reading they dont leave to soon.



use a free listing in superpages.com ( the up grade is not always worth the 199.00 a month)



make phone calls to the sites you want to link to
site owners and store owners get ton's of e-mails
so most get deleted without being read. Plus once you have talked to a real live person it's easier to get them to say yes to a link exchange.



try to only link with relevent sites to yours or what your selling



hand out business cards 250 free at vistaprint.com



if your budget allowes have pens and tee shirts printed. give them away with every purchase or just pass them out to everyone you come in contact with.



hand out fliers at stores or malls



put a sign on the back windsheild of your car and your friends and familys cars too.



create a coupon and e-mail it to every e- address in your address book (every three weeks) Every week is to much though.



Bring up the fact in conversations that you have a on-line business most people will ask what type it is or what you do.



whail sharing your site during conversations ask for their e- address so you can mail them a coupon




your site will have more sales if you can offer
something that most people want for free
(example i have a camera store so i might offer a free pic card with the purchase of 50 dollars or more. or a free roll of film with every purchase. free shipping is always good



I ask local business owners (like nail salons or resturants if you can leave a stack of business cards.)


mail out business cards and or coupons to your doctor, dentist, chiropractor, dry cleaners, hair
stylest, mail man, door man, baby sitter, your child teacher, you get the idea.



Join social networking sites hopefully business ones so you can do some self promotion and not be taged as a spammer.



join banner exchange or banner rotater sites.
free banner generator at addesigns.com



one last thing when linking with other sites be careful check them out good first. Linking with a bad site will only bring yours down. Check out to see if they are in a bad neighborhood or even banned. Linking with a bad site could hurt your business.



I sincerly hope all these tips help.
Pam

I don't care what Google calls it. When you come to the forum and disrupt a good post with trash like that it's spam.

Hi This is Pam

I wrote this post and i'm a bit confused

Janeth are you all saying that the original post 20 ways to better promote your web site is spam??

or the add the 21 from more than google.??

If it's about the add the 21 I'm in agreement with you. It's spam

Yet the way some of these post read I.m getting slamed in this forum for trying to help newbies.

Like I have stated earlier these advertising methods will get you traffic and or sales.


I have never gotten a spam complaint. Pam

The more you post good quiality questions and answers
the more people will get to know you.
who you are and what you do.
They will want to click on your site to see what your all about.

Spam is a tricky thing don't post a url in any forum
unless their is a place to post saying review or look at
these sites.

Always use caution when posting a URL.

Your welcome

also you may blog using a (username) similar to your URL but still remember to only ask and answer questions or tell stories relevent to the subject being discussed. some blog sites have a url box to link to your web site. You may use them.

One of the best ways to get your web site known is to submit to free directories.
Plus write quaility articles on the products or subject of your site submit them to free article submission sites.

regester your domain on craigs list ( i would not actually place a product way to many scammers out their)

For all newbies I would recomend linkreferal.com their fourm is easier for newbies to understand.

This fourm is usually used by sites who have been around awhail and is more geared towards Pro's
