Inexpensive and free online advertising for a website.? |
I am starting an online business and I would like a list of ideas and related information and links on how to inexpensively advertise and get the most bang for my buck. If you could include ideas on how to advertise to USA, Canada, UK and Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia since it will service those countries. In this case web advertising would probably be the best idea. P.S. If you could include a range price estimates on Google Adsense and Google's "Sponsored Links" section and SEO to get organic placement on Google for free. Thanks a bunch!!! If you give a few good answer I will give you to "best answer" -- guarantee. The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?......... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages. Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable. You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them. A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots. Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material. Placement of Metatags: A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name. The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services. And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory. Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query "sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4 million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net" is ranked. It's on the SECOND FRONT [ranked 15]! Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Google's publication guidelines. Good luck!

From http://ad5.info Try linkexchange.com Hi, You could take a look at HostMee's services page, HitMee & AddMee are free to join.........they have worked wonders for me in the past, http://www.hostmee.com/services.html... Clare http://www.hostmee.com/hitmee http://www.hostmee.com/pix http://www.hostmee.com/addmee One of the greatest challenges facing a new online business enterpeneur is the quick realization that you need to have customers. There are plenty of people that will sell you leads or guaranteed traffic to your site or advise you on pay-per-click, traffic exchange or safelist advertising. And all these efforts to convert traffic to customers will slowly eat away at whatever marketing bankroll you may have (if any). As the internet marketspace continues to evolve one of the most successful marketing methods has become relationship marketing through social networks. An example of a social network would be MySpace or YouTube. A social network is simply a group of like minded individuals interacting in a common social space. Once you have connected with others through your new social network it is quite easy to develop more of a personal relationship and introduce them to your business ideas. Since they already "know" you and are comfortable interacting with you they are much more inclined to at least look at your opportunity than a stranger simply landing on your site.
