Hi.. Our website just got live and now we are looking to market it. I have heard, Manual Directory Submissions. Digg, Stumble Upon. Press Releases. What else, should I be doing ?
Make a video for your site's keyword and submit to youtube and other video sharing sites. Put a link back to your site. Write an article about your site's keyword and submit to ezinearticles and other article directory. Put a link back to your site.
Im not going to do that myself. I will hire someone to do that for me. Just need to make a list what all I need, so that I can look for the ALL IN ONE guy or company to do those stuff for me. Do we also need to do Squiddo Lens ? Is it necessary ?
Thanks quicksweet for your sweet suggestion! I was thinking the same, but I dont know anyone who can do video creation for me. I already have an example.
There are many different ways to market your website. These include submission to article directories, forum posting, profile links, article marketing, social bookmarking and many more. Your best bet is to find a good traffic report and follow the process to market the site. If you are comfortable sharing, including your keywords in your signature with a link to your website is a good start.
Set up Twitter and Facebook accounts, even if they aren't applicable to your site. You can push whatever you want and have them run on autopilot, mainly get them for SEO, I can't prove they help but I've seen some evidence that they do.
Agreed. I recommend you to start up FB like page and Twitter account for marketing... Keep going with the traditional SEO while you do some social media marketing. Also post your sites to social bookmarking websites... They can give you great traffic!
If you post quality content to your site, you will not have to market it - people will find it on their own. The thing is, the more time you spend off your site, the less time you have to spend "on" your site. When you just open a site, you want to set a standard for the quality of the content that is going to be posted, and go from there.
I think someone above had mentioned it, but again, I think you can add link to your signature. Also, google the list of social bookmarking sites. I would start from the higher PR. Submit to directories, post in forums. Oh, I suppose your on-site optimization is complete? Good luck!
I think the best way to promote your site is original content. Of course, there are still any others ways, for example, blog commenting and backlinks.
Depends on the website I'd say.... But if its worth something I'd say don't break your neck over marketing... The content/visitors will make it happen!
Have more forum postings with signature including a link to your sit, article submission with link to site, blog comments will do a wonder.
Axus Technologies Inc., The first step is to remember that a flood of traffic doesn't usually come overnight, so don't stress yourself out if you don't see gigantic waves of traffic immediately hitting your website. Traffic depends on the quality of the content you give out. You need to really connect with your audience and find out what their needs are. What do they want to learn? What problems are they currently facing? How can your knowledge help them? Do they have similar interests to you? What kinds of products would they buy that would help them? Do you really know them? Connecting with your customers is the most important foundation of any business. You need to provide them with helpful content and when they start to see that you're offering advice that will truly help them, they'll be sure to come back time and time again and your traffic will grow.
I'm surprised no one hasn't asked this already.. What is your business exactly? Not to be a moron antagonist here but if you're selling high end medical devices I'd forget about directory submissions and go for the gold!
Article marketing for a long term marketing plan. It is slow initially but it can generate long ongoing results.
A simple and free but yet effective is asking reviews for free from forums. Most peoples do favor to do a review if you asked them nicely enough. Otherwise what you mentioned could attract links and ranking rather brand building and direct traffics.
