Promoting Your Website - Five Things You Should Look At

If you have a website, then promoting your website is actually extremely critical, actually if you don’t know what you are doing very well then you can cause damage to your site. There are lots of different ways to promote a website, not all of these are good. Read on to find out 5 of the most damaging website promotion tricks that almost everyone makes….
Spam- don’t do it! - Sending out unsolicited email will attract nothing but hate to your business. If you’re not careful sending spam could see your site blacklisted at all the major ISPs. People hate spam as much as you do, and in the end it’s a bad business tactic which can ruin your reputation.

Submission services - There are lots of people who will quite happily spend $20 to list their site on 100’s of search engines. There really are not even 100 search engines that you want your website to be on in the first place, and the other issue surrounding this, is the fact that most of these services will simply submit your URL to an auto-submitter, which can once again get you sand boxed, as the search engines take note of these kinds of services. It’s very easy for search engines to find out who has been using the submission services. If you need to use one of these services then ensure that they are genuine and aren’t just taking you for a ride, read reviews and find out what they will do for the money.

Search engine submissions- There are hundreds of different search engines out there, however only a few of them are really popular. In reality there are only less than 30 which are even worth submitting to, it might be possible to find specialist directories which are aimed at your target audience. If you are writing about computers then find directories which are popular with computer users.

Yahoo submission - Submitting your site to Yahoo is very important but it’s also very difficult, because submissions are viewed by real human beings (editors), which means you must follow their instructions to the T. Make sure that the people see your site is a valuable resource for their visitors, and don’t rush your application.

Closed - You should never submit your site until it is open and working properly. Check that the site is free from spelling errors and works properly before submission. This ensures that you can have continuous traffic, as a lot of website surfers will not return to a website if it has a “under construction” or “currently editing” statement in place.
