    Hello Kathy,

    I think you should buy a domain name. Don't use the free things..
    Free things will not bring you Maximum results, Use the best tools and you must invest.
    How to promote it? You must be kidding.. you are seo company provide best service for clients..
    you should not asked that questions.. and you should already know about that.

    Nothing wrong with starting on a free hosting, ofc. later you should transfer if you think you will get better results. Start by forum posting and seo, that should help you a lot. Cheers

    The best traffic I can think of right now is organic traffic because it's targeted and converts pretty well.
    For more organic traffic you should research carefully your keywords and try to rank high for them (SEO).

    promoting a blog is quite the same as promoting a site. You can also submit it to web directories/blog directories, forums, social bookmarking, classified ads, blog comments etc...

    Service-oriented company should have its own site, not a blog. No client will ever be interested in opting for your services if you're using a blog. It's absurd.

    Why is a bought domain any better than a free one.

    rule of thumb. Always self host. When you run a site on blogger you are only helping blogger.com rank. Same can be said for wordpress or any other site. Think about all the links the include on your page that lead away from YOUR content. You have no control over that. Now as far as the comment about a blog vs a site... they are one and the same. A blog is just a style of site. Now as far as a blogging platform.. for example wordpress.. this CMS can be customized to look non-bloglike but still carry all the SEO benefits that come with a blog. My recommendations?

    Step 1) buy a domain name and get yourself some hosting
    Step 2) if you like blogging platforms install wordpress on your brand-new domain and customize it to fit your needs
    Step 3) get some good content on that bad boy
    Step 4) Build links! Promoting your blog is as simple as expanding your webpresence and that means getting links pointed at your site from as many places as possible.

    Article Directories
    Web Directories
    Social Bookmarking sites
    Social Networking Sites
    Other Blogs

    Be creative but don't be spammy. Provide quality relevant content and an easy way for people to find it and you will find that ranking isn't all that hard :)

    Being an SEO company has nothing to do with what's being asked.

    Promoting a site falls under marketing, and is not really the same as SEO. While there are some very similar tactics used in both, they are still different. Consider this, a company makes a television commercial to promote their website, that's marketing, and will not help their search results one little bit.

    To answer the questions at hand, the best thing to do is research. Look at what kind of marketing outlets there are for your site, there are a lot of methods to promote for free (signature links) but some you'll have to pay for.
