Hi guys, I am new here and I need some help from you. I want to list here 8 ideas I had to promote my website and want to know if you guys tried some of these and what are your thoughts. It is important to mention that I own an e-commerce website where we sell designer leather goods, such as handbags, coats, leather jackets, boots, briefcases, belts, wallets, etc. It's all high-end stuff. OK, here's the list of ideas: 1) List my featured items on eBay, with different types of highlighting, for testing purposes. 2) Use PPC services, such as Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN AdCenter 3) Comparison Search Engines (Shopping.com, Yahoo Shopping, BizRate, ShopZilla, NexTag, Froogle, PriceGrabber, etc. 4) Through text ad links, on other people's blogs (preferable fashion-related). I was thinking of using two services: PayPerPost.com and TextLinkAds.com 5) SEO 6) Posting on different forums and online communities 7) Posting on directories: DMOZ, Yahoo Directory, Business.com, JoeAnt, Skaffe, and many other niche-related directories. 8) Through local search engines: Yahoo Local, AOL Local, Local.com, Google Local. Well, that's about it. Now the questions: A) Have you guys tried any of these techniques? What kind of results did you get? B) Do you recommend any other idea to promote my website online? Thank you so much for your help!!! Let's see who's more creative and can come up with other ideas! Zeke
