Creating Your Website's Promotional Strategy
Creating a successful Internet presence involves much more than designing a great web site or having the "perfect" product. Listing your website with the Search Engines is your first step, however, you must not solely depend upon the Search Engines to bring you traffic. You must design a complete promotional strategy and work it every day. A good way to organize your promotions is to set up a webpage, for your personal use, that will contain your complete strategy. This page should be stored on your hard drive and not uploaded to your server. Your page should contain four sections. - Daily Promotions - Weekly Promotions - Monthly Promotions - Miscellaneous Promotions Each of these four sections should contain the appropriate information for each of your promotional resources such as, website name, user ID, password (if applicable) and hyperlinked web addresses for each website you plan to use for your promotions. This will enable you to open your webpage each day and visit each daily promotional link you have listed. Your daily promotions should include posting your ads to a list of free classified ad and free for all sites. In addition, visit some popular discussion boards. Although you may not advertise on discussion boards, you can include your signature file with your post. There are several websites that will enable you to submit your classified ads and links to an entire network of sites with just one form. Here is a list of resources to get you started: Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/ AdlandPro Networked Classifieds 5000+ http://www.web-source.net/adlandpro.htm Web Sitings Networked Classifieds 40,000+ http://www.websitings.com/classads/sites/source.htm Epage Networked Classifieds 16,000+ http://www.web-source.net/classifieds.htm SmallBizFFA 35,000+ http://www.smallbizffa.net/ffa.pl?35984 FFA Network 10,000+ http://www.ffanet.com/submit.htm Free Submission 9,500+ http://hbb.nu/freesubmit/ MGA web 5,000+ http://www.mgaweb.com/submit/mgacat.asp Link Place 3,000+ http://www.linkplace.com/ Link Station 8,000+ http://global.gr/mtools/linkstation/ USubmit 9,500+ http://www.usubmit.com/ Wizard 8,000+ http://wizardsoftheweb.com/partners/wizard/links.shtml URL Submitter 183,500+ http://urlsubmitter.com/url.shtml For a complete listing of some of the top discussion boards, visit: http://www.web-source.net/web/Discussion_Forums/ Your weekly promotions should consist of placing a paid ezine advertisement and/or arranging ad swaps with fellow publishers. Visit the Free Directory of Ezines for all the information you'll need to place and/or swap ads with over 700 ezines. http://www.netmastersolutions.com/ To organize your ad placements and swaps, place the publication names, publisher names, ad dates and hyperlinked web addresses within your weekly promotions list. Your monthly promotions should include writing an article in the area of your expertise, Search Engine submissions, promotional exchanges with similar websites and offline promotions. Writing Articles: Writing articles that may be freely published with your bylines is one of the best promotional methods online. Your article may be published in hundreds of ezines, on websites or even in magazines. To learn more about writing articles for publication, read the article entitled, "Write For Publicity." http://www.web-source.net/art13.htm To organize your monthly promotions, place the names and hyperlinked web addresses for each of your promotional resources within your monthly promotions section.
