owner of at least one site or you are just selling someone else's
products as an affiliate marketer. Now what? There is a common need in
all above situation and that is advertising and traffic and if it is

sentence very very carefully.
Most people think website promotion means search engine
submission and link exchange. They go and submit your website to major
search engine ,exchange link with some other webmasters and wait for
the traffic to flood but do they get lots of traffic or some traffic at
all?If they are lucky,they will get a few visitors. But today there are
many various ways to promote and market your website. If they do not
think about other ways then it is possible the amount of traffic remain
the same or even decrease. and if they use all other ways effectively
then they can drive lots of traffic to their sites.
When a small business started has a very small
budget for
promotion then the owner can use many other cost effective ways and
make his business grow. For this he can use his website and the
internet and on the internet there are many cost effective methods to
promote any small business.

other surfers and v=web site visitors spread them across the
internet..e.g. Free Viral Sites,Social Networks,Video

questions are yes then do you really know the right and
appropriate way for this kind of method. Actually each method listed
here is working fine and if you are one of the person I mentioned here
then please read each and every word on this site very very carefully.
Little gems are hidden in the content in the form of tips and
suggestion.
Some of the free ways you can use to get free advertising
and
free traffic. The resources I included are described below with small
description and how it works and how can you make them work for you.
Here I am giving you just general idea about how can you get free
traffic and free advertising resources. Although you can spend a lot of
money on an Internet campaign, there are many ways to leverage the
Internet and gain free advertising for your business.
Niche Marketing
Before you
know anything about any
free traffic and free advertising resources,you must know about Niche
Marketing. Why?Because you are repeatedly going to hear words like
relavent to your niche,choose your niche,according to your niche,use
niche marketing,choose your niche,target your niche etc and so I tried
to explain here what is niche marketing so that you can easily
understand other content on this site.
What is Niche Marketing?
The word ‘niche’ is defined as: “A
special area or
field of demand for a product or service”.
‘Marketing’ is defined as: “The
opportunity to buy or
sell”. If you place the two words together, the meaning of
niche
marketing is :" buying or selling a product or service in a special
area or field of demand". In short research and find a niche or find a
particular area or field for existing products or 1st find the
niche/targeted audience(particular area or field of demand for a
particular subject) and then create the products or sell existing
products to that particular interested group of people. Because of your
research you know there is already demand for products and so you will
get good CTR .
Big businesses always use niche marketing. For example the company
named Colgate produce a tooth paste with brand name Colgate for the
product. In India to target right audience(relevant niche),Colgate has
started free dental check up clinic in various state and thus they are
targeting the people who are interested in dental care and also
motivating them by making them aware of good oral hygiene and at the
same time promoting company's product(Colgate Toothpaste)
With use of niche marketing a small business owner can acquire fast
success because he is following the principle of demand and supply as
well as he has to spend less money because of smaller audience compare
to generally marketing a product to entire world. In niche marketing
you only promote your products to highly interested group of people and
so you save time and money as well as you get high conversion sales
ratio and so more bang for less ad bucks. Niche Marketing is blessing
for small businesses and home businesses as they often have small
budget for everything and a limited number of employees.
From the start or from the 1st step(Research),Niche marketing must be
designed to meet the unique needs of the targeted audience or special
group of interested people. You must create your products according to
their needs or as I said must research and find the less competitive
niche for existing products(specially in affiliate marketing).You can
not sell a gardening product(e.g. e-book) to a audience interested in
making money products and it is natural that you can sell them products
about gardening easily. In short do proper research and find out an
already interested audience and provide them what they want by
following the principle of demand and supply. This way you can be
successful withing shorter period of time and you can always target
this same audience with other relevant products.
Niche Marketing is really a short cut and proper way to expose your
products to the right audience with minimum efforts and minimum budget.
What
Niche Marketing is Not
Niche Marketing is not to sell your product blindly to entire world
without knowing about your audience but it is a proper and right method
to target right audience. As a small business or home business owner
you mostly have very small budget for advertising and so if you find
your customer in advance through research and by use of niche marketing
principles then not only you can save money but also your time by not
promoting your products to the people who are not interested in your
products.
Niche marketing does not say to compete but it says to throw the
competition out of the window and find a no competition or less
competition zone. Niche marketing does not suggest to market the same
product millions of other people are trying to sell instead it says to
either find a specific audience for existing products or 1st find the
specific audience and then create special products for them. In short
less competition,more success for a product or business.
Niche Marketing does not suggest to sell your products to random buyers
but it teaches you to build a list of interested people and
repeatedly sell the different relevant products to the same audience.
Niche Marketing teaches you to build relation with your customers and
gain their trust by providing them high quality products at reasonable
rates and repeat the process for relevant products.
Niche Marketing does not say to focus on large scale but it says to
focus on small scale or in other words smaller audience but highly
interested audience. Niche Marketing suggests to research about
audience which is highly interested although it is very
small.
Niche marketing suggest you to narrow down your audience to a single
interest of a broad subject. Let me explain this by above Gardening
Niche example. Suppose you want to create a product,e.g. an e-book and
if you are a good niche marketer then you know there is enough
competitors in this niche and so if you write a general e-book about
gardening you get vast audience but more competitors as well so you
research more deeply in the gardening niche and find out a particular
section of the niche,e.g. rose where there is no competition or very
few competitors so you decided to create your e-book about roses. This
way you get smaller audience because entire audience interested and you
will know in advance. And you can even further narrow down
this
rose sub niche to many sub-sub niches by targeting the white rose,red
rose,black rose etc etc
Niche marketing does not say to think about impossibilities but it says
to think about possibilities to remain in certain market without
competitors then you can convert a small audience into a big profit as
there is no competition at all.
Now back to the main goal of
free traffic and
free advertising resources. As I said before there are many ways you
can generate free traffic and free advertising for your site. Some
options are shown below......
Website Promotion Options
1. Send
E-mail Announcement
If you have an existing list then after building a new site you can
send e-mail announcement or if you do not have a list then you can rent
a list but do not spam and do not use the mean ways
2.
Use Mailing Lists & News Groups
There are thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists out on the web.
Choose and pick the right one but don’t spam. You can not
post
the ads directly in a newsgroup but promote your site through
signature. You can create newsletter & send your own
newsletters to
your subscribers. You can inform your visitors what is new in your
website that way
Join A
Discussion Group
Join a group that is relevant to your business. Share resources and
valuable advice. It’s okay to use your signature line, but
otherwise don’t post direct ads.
As I said before there are millions of news groups and you
can
always find some relevant to your product or site. The people in a news
group is live active audience and really interested in the subject a
news group is formed and you can take great advantage of this live
active audience. Remember you can not post any commercial ad or spam
message to any news group. Instead you can include a signature in your
post and that is allowed. If you can establish yourself as an expert in
your field in a relevant news group then you are going to get lots of
traffic to your site.
Never ever visit a news group occasionally just to say hi
and
mentioning your url. This will not be welcomed by regulars and they
will scream at you for spamming. You will get ill reputation for
yourself and your site. It will not help your business but harm your
business. Instead of doing this visit the interested news group
regularly and find the problems posted by other members and post the
solution with insightful information. This way people will see you as
helpful body and respect and trust you.
So keep this in mind never ever spam a news group if you want to take
maximum advantage of a news group.It is true that you can never ever
reach a prospective buyers heart with spamming of any form and at any
medium of advertising
Newsgroups
A
newsgroup is a group of people on-line that share similar interests and
concerns. Using newsgroups to promote your site can be tricky and time
consuming. Not all newsgroups allow advertising postings, so you will
need to read the rules when you sign up. Post useful information and
helpful advice and become a frequent user of the group, both in giving
advice and asking questions. Include your name and Web address with
every e-mail or posting. If you find there is sufficient interest in
your field of expertise you may want to create a newsgroup of your own.
E-mail lists
E-mail
lists are similar to newsgroups. The main difference is that the
announcements goes directly to the participants e-mail box. E-mail
lists require more caution then newsgroups.
The Internet offers hundreds of targeted e-mail based
discussion
lists, chat rooms and news groups made up of people with very
specialized interests. Spend at least one hour each week searching for
groups where a conversation is taking place. Do not use aggressive
marketing and overly plug your company, even if you see some people
doing so. Instead, add to the discussion in a helpful way and let the
signature at the end of your e-mail or post message do the marketing
for you. People will gradually get to know and trust you, visit your
Web site, and do business with you.
3. Informing
People "Networking"
Print nice visiting cards and give it to people as well when you
socialize or meet friends, make sure you give your url to them.
4. Register
with Search Engines
Keyword Identification
I mean
submitting your site to search engine that is word widely used
right.Before submitting you have to optimize your site for relevant
keywords and keyphrases. By relavant I mean related to your business or
niche.
Search Engines are the key to your site’s online exposure. If
you
do not want to pay to your web designer for SEO service, then take time
and fill up the forms at major search engines.
Yahoo! is a directory of web sites, not a search engine like Google.
Every page it lists has been evaluated by a live Yahoo employee for
relevance to the category in which it appears. This can be very useful
for someone looking for a service or product in a particular geographic
area. Therefore, it can be a good site for generating qualified hits to
your site from people in your area.
There are 2
ways to submit your sites to search
engines.............
1. Manually
2. Let a bulk submitter do it
for you.
Which is the best way manual or bulk submitter?
Let me explain: If you have small site e.g. less than 12 pages then
take the time to do a manual submit. If you have more than 12 pages
then choose best 12 pages and submit them manually. How can you find
about the best pages is by tracking each pages or another way is your
c-panel.
These picked up 12 pages are already generating traffic to your site so
they are already better optimized and have more chance to rank higher
in search results. These are the best pages on your site and you must
list them in the search engines.
Inter connect or inter link all your site pages with html or
dhtml menu.It is not wise to use java script menu. Menu will be
displayed on each page and so the linking and so any one out of 12
pages is get listed then search engines frequently start to spidering
your site and because of inter linking with menu your other site pages
will be indexed too.
Now you know that how to submit your site and get listed but
some
time it take a month to 6 month for search engines to list your site.
So what you should you do to quickly indexed your site in the major
search engines?Use my favorite technique...Create a blog on blogger or
on your own domain but as everyone knows it is hard to keep with all
the regular posting so you can use some one else's blog for this
purpose. Just find out a do follow high page rank blog in your niche
and visit the blog and post some insightful comment with your link or
website url. Do not spam and do not insert short reply like thanks,cool
etc. Take some time and write something useful.
You can also create your own blogs.
Also register with DMOZ.org.
It's free unlike Yahoo! And it can enhance
your visibility, even though it does not see as much traffic as Yahoo!
Submit your site to Search Engines
Every webmaster must submit his or her site to major search
engines. I only ask you here that please do not rely upon only search
engine traffic because of fierce competition. It is hard to get higher
rank and even harder to maintain the acquired rank. It requires hard
work and knowledge but that does not mean you should not apply some
simple SEO & SES rules and get some free traffic to your site.I
only want you to not to do that hard way.
Apply these simple rules before submitting your sites to major search
engines :
-Check that all the pages are optimized
-Give each of your pages good titles
-Use keywords thoroughly
-Check for broken links.
As I said before you can submit to 2 ways(why I am repeating this?) and
then wait. Chances are you won’t be added to any
engine’s
database for at least a month, so do some of the things below
in
the mean time. You should only need to submit your homepage, as the
search engine’s spiders (If the menu is in html or dhtml)
will
follow the links on your page and index those pages too.
You can read more in SEO and SES section
Get indexed your site into
Yahoo!
1st of all Yahoo is not a search engine but it is a
web-directory
like DMOZ and is maintained and edited by live human
editors.
They check every page sent to them and only include the best. Yahoo can
increase your site's traffic as yahoo is on other most popular site on
the net.
When you submit your site to Yahoo,keep these point in your mind.
- Submit your site in the right category.
- Understand that your site will not get
included
over night by just submitting. Be patient as you will have to wait for
2-3 months. They check each page manually and get lots of site
submitted to Yahoo every day so you can easily understand the work load.
- Check that your site works at least in
these 2
browser,1.IE and 2. Navigator your because they check the site in both
browser and if do not work in either one then they will not include or
indexed your site.
- Do not submit under construction site
- Read submission instructions and
follow them.
- Your site should be unique and useful
to people.
5. Get
Linked, Give Link and Banner Exchange
Do reciprocal link exchange with other webmasters. Exchange link only
with relavnat site to your business or niche. Just remember
high-traffic site webmasters are too busy to answer your requests for a
link and they do not gain much in exchange so they are mostly avoid
your request , so send request for link exchange to smaller sites. If
you have a good catchy logo, let them use as link to you. Banner
Exchange links are good way to drive traffic your website also. You can
also do reciprocal banner exchange.
Keep this in your mind if you are linking to any other site then people
visiting that site through your pages assume that you and your site are
connected or related to them and they will also try to judge your site
through the linking site. So never do reciprocal link exchange or
banner exchange with junky and ill looking site which you do not trust.
As you know now that this is important from the point of SEO
as
search engines like Google give more weight in ranking in the search
results to the sites which have more links.
Buy a banner ad or do reciprocal banner exchange or join a
banner exchange network.
Banner ads
Purchase
banner ads - Banner ads give your company more exposure by appearing on
other Web sites. You should advertise on the sites relevant to your
niche or business.
Join a
banner exchange program - Banner exchange programs are free to join and
allow you to place banner ads on other Web sites. You must agree to
allow banner ads on your site. Only problem with free banner exchange
network is that you do not have control over which ads are displayed on
you own site as well as where or on which sites your ads are shown.
6. Offline
Advertisement/Marketing
Printed advertising is still working. Web still does not replace
printed advertisement whatsoever. If you can afford then you can give
ads in the news papers,magazines and on radios and you can get some
real targeted traffic to your site. You can print your web address URL
on all stationeries; Business cards, Letterheads, mail covers etc. You
can also get created the small stickers with your site url and short
description and can get them stick at public places.
* Promote using traditional media. Such
as;
Newspapers,yellow pages, magazines, classifieds,direct mail, and post
cards.
* If you can afford you can give ads in
local billboards,radio stations,TV station ad.
* Send news releases to print and Web
periodicals in your industry and your existing clients.
Put your URL on everything: Maximize
your
advertising efforts by listing your Web site address on everything you
do. Print the URL on your company’s letterhead, on your
business
cards, on the front of your building or the door to your office suite.
Use the URL in your e-mail signature. List the URL on any print
advertising that you do, including phone books, brochures, flyers, and
direct mail pieces.
You should include an e-mail signature to each out going
e-mail.You can insert at the end of the message : Your name,address and
your clickable url.You can also cover your signature with borders by
using characters in the keyboard to make it attractive or differentiate
it from the message.
You know how easy is to include a single line(Your site url)
in
your visiting card or business card still many businessmen either
forget to include the site url or just can not understand the
importance of including their site's url in their business cards.When
you include your site url in your business or visiting card just
include only www.yourdomain.com part and do not include http://
portion.
Do not forget to include your site url in all the
offline
advertising you purchased for your business like classifieds,in news
papers,magazines,ads on banner,local tv commercial etc etc.You can
drive lots of targeted traffic to your site by including your site's
url in all the offline ad campaigns.
7.
Publish Articles
Write and submit your articles to article directories. Do not forget to
include resources box with anchor text and your site url in each
article.
Provide articles for others to use in their Newsletters. Book
reviews, new gadgets.
You can dramatically increase your Internet visibility when you write
expert articles about your field and distribute them as free content
for other article directories, e-mail newsletters and other related Web
sites. At the bottom of each article written, request a link back to
your Web site and a one-line description of what you offer. This is an
effective viral marketing approach.
Writing articles is an excellent way for you to get free
publicity. The publicity you receive by having your article published
in a newspaper, magazine or website can be worth thousands of dollars
in equivalent advertising space. Well written articles yield better
results than advertisements and earn you respect from customers, who
see you as an expert in your field.
The best articles are “tips” or expert pieces.
People are
looking for guidance and will purchase from the experts who show them
how to solve their problems.
For a listing of on-line magazines (e-zines), visit: www.ezine-dir.com.
You can then contact the editor of each magazine and offer them your
article.
8. Publish A
Press Release
Do not forget to send a press release to local medias and if possible
national medias whenever something news worthy happens in your
company.Now a days you can submit your press release free of charge to
online media sites and this way you can gain free international exposer
and lots of free traffic to your site.Do not forget to include your
site's url in every press release you submit either to online media
outlets or offline media outlets.
Newspaper or Regional newspapers can give you a very good
mileage. Write a press release about your site and mail it to all
printed media within the area you do business in, plus any publications
read by your target market. Press releases can also be submitted to
on-line sources. Srijan Interactive can write and submit the press
release for you.
Media Releases
Having a story written about you and your business will not only bring
you lots of new customers, but will also provide you massive
credibility. Stories about you in the media are far more believable,
powerful and attractive than any ads you could possibly run. People
will trust and respect you instantly.
A media release should provide enough details to be informative, but it
should leave out just enough information to be tantalizing that the
media person calls you to find out more.There are many excellent ebooks
on internet marketing. I would recommend you pick up at least one and
start reading.
9.
Start An Affiliate Program
If you sell your own products or resell rights products then you can
start your own affiliate program. You can decide how much and on what
bases you want to pay to your affiliate.I mean per sale,per lead or per
click. The best is per sale modem as you have to pay only when you
actually make a sale.You can use an affiliate software hosted on your
own server or you can use the available online service like click
bank,paydotcom and cj etc.
10. Free
Classified Ads
There are thousands of free classified sites where you post your ads
for free.Most have upgraded option with more visibility. If you can
write short but effective ads with eye catching & attention
grabbing headlines then you can drive lots of traffic to your site.
11. New
Content
Add your new content in your site or blog. Search engines
like
fresh new content and so if you can add new content in your site or
blog,the search spiders will more frequently crawl your site and your
site will be considered more authentic in the eyes of search engines
and it will help you to increase your site ranking.
You can create RSS feeds and submit fresh content to RSS
directories.
12. Friends
& Family
Tell your friends,family members and other contacts in your address
book about your site.
13. Pay Per
Click
You can use the PPC for your advantage as nowadays there are only 2
ways to get higher rank in search engines. Lots of linking and paying
for higher ranking and finally getting free targeted traffic but with
PPC anyone can get targeted traffic and you have to pay only for clicks
so real visitors. Let me warn you if you do not know how to design a
PPC ad campaign right way you may loose the money.
Purchase Pay Per Click (PPC) ads like Yahoo Search
Marketing, Google AdWords.
14.
Television Ads :
A small business or home business owner can not afford an ad
in
state or national level television channel because of limited budget
but
still he can go for local cable network and reach to local audience.
15.
Magazine and Radio Ads :
An ad on the radio or magazine is less expensive compare to
television ads but it is still expensive for a small or home business
but you can get free exposer for your company and website if you are an
expert in your field and can provide insightful information about
problems and solutions for those problem related to your business. Both
mediums are content hungry and you can easily contact the editors and
administrators and explain about how and what type of free content you
can offer to them.This way you can arrange a free interview with both
medium and during discussion you can mention and talk about your
business and website.
16.
Submit your site to every web directory. Pay to
submit your site to specialized directories.
17.
yellow pages
Post your ads in online yellow pages sites and you can
purchase
a yellow pages ad in offline yellow pages directory. Do not forget to
insert your site's url in any yellow book advertising you already do.
I know one company which spends lots of money in offline
advertising such as yellow pages,magazines,news papers but they never
include their site's url in any advertisement. The company's site is
online for many years but they never understand the importance of their
own website.
In short never forget to add your site's url to any offline
printed advertisement. If you are going for full color page ad in a
yellow page directory or in a magazine or in a news paper then it is
not difficult to add your site's url as you have more than enough space
but suppose you are going for a small listing in a yellow page
directory where only 3-4 lines are allowed then make sure you keep one
line reserved for your site url.
18. Blogs:
A blog,short form of we blog is a personal online diary of someone
where he can express his thoughts freely and without any
limitation and share those thoughts with his readers. On a blog you
generally find collection of articles about blog owner's personal life
as well as what is going around him and his business.You also find the
collection of articles related to blog theme or niche.
Now a days blogs have became very popular. A blog owner can receive
feed back about anything or on any topic through comment posting
features of a blog. A blog owner can also promote his business and
website through his blog. He can keep his existing customer updated by
posting news about new development and new products and he can educate
his prospective buyers by providing useful information about his
products and help them or motivate them to take right decision.
There are many locations on the internet where you can not submit your
site e.g. blog networks and blog directories but if you run a blog then
you can submit your blog at these location and can generate free
targeted traffic to your website.
Search engines love fresh content and if you are a regular blog poster
then it will increase your ranking in search engines and so also
increase the ranking of your site as well.
You can also give your site SEO advantage by posting useful comments on
high rank do follow blogs of other bloggers.
Promote your web site in Online Forums and Blogs. A lot of
people like to read forums or blogs. If you like to write a comment to
a blog or discussion forum add your "signature" web address URL at the
end of your e-mail message do your marketing for you.
19.
Podcasting :
What is a pod cast or a podcasting?In simple term it is recording of
your own voice but technically podcast is an audio files recorded in a
radio talk show format. You can publish your podcast on your own site
so other can listen online or can download and listen at later time.
You can also submit your podcast to podcast directories such as apple
i-tune. People can listen to your podcast online or can download and
listen to them through i-pod or other small music players. If you want
then you can get free podcasting software with which you can convert
your audio files in appropriate format and can publish them. For more
information about the free podcast creating software please see down
this page.
20. Online
Communities :
There are lots of social networking sites across the internet
where you can find like minded people.You can always find people
interested in the topics relevant to your business. You can discuss
with them about the problem and solutions about the discussed topics
and get great exposer for your site or business by indirectly
mentioning them.
21.
Subscriber Lists:
Build a list of prospective buyers as well as existing
customers
and send them occasional information about new products,special
discounted deals,coupons for themselves and to give away to others and
other news about your site or company.
Do not forget to include your site's url in signature of
message
to send. Do not just include your name and site's url but also include
full address of the company office,name of the company,phone number of
the company,e-mail address of your company and url of your site. Do not
use free e-mail service like yahoo or g-mail etc while communicating
with your existing customers or prospective buyers but use the e-mail
address of your site's domain. This will build respect & trust
about your site & products. Remember people buy easily from the
site/company/person whom they trust well.
I know to start a news letter or ezine is hard work and time consuming
task but believe me you will get some marvelous result with this e-mail
marketing strategy with your subscribers. As I said before now a days
you can get all the content written for you by a professional writer
for a small fee and you can use autoresponders to send the news letter
automatically but do not forget to broadcast occasional news manually.
22.
Win awards:
There are many research organizations online which provide
many
types of awards to the site e.g. best designed site,most useful
site,best content site etc. You can apply for these awards and try to
win them and get lots of publicity by releasing a press note about the
winnings.By displaying awards on your site you can gain trust of your
site visitors.
Something Useful About Awards...
Awards used to distinguish a webmaster from others in the herd and the
awarded sites will proudly display all the collection of awards they
have received. But now a days the facts came out about fake awards and
the politics and low moral standard about selecting a award winning
site and so the importance of some awards have been decreased but there
are still many awards which are considered genuine and still maintain
their dignity.
As I wrote above awards like hilariously-overblown,Golden Web Awards
have lost their charm and easy to win with some manipulation by
webmasters and so became meaningless.
23. Donation
You can donate your time,money or company resources to
charitable
organizations. This way you can kill the 2 birds with a single
stone.1st you are doing social charity.2nd you can tell the
organization to send a press release about your charity so you can get
indirect free publicity for your business. If you do not have money or
resources to donate then you can still donate your valuable time and
participate actively in charitable organization's activities. You can
arrange an interview on behalf of the organization and during interview
can mentioned your business and website and receive lots of free
publicity for your business.
24. Business
Publications
You can publish news information about your business,a small report in
the form of booklet,a small booklet about each of your product,a
catalog of your products,a price list of your products. Do not forget
to include your site url in all these publications and give them away
to your prospective buyers and encourage existing customers to pass
them to their friends and relatives.
In short provide as much free information about your products to the
prospective buyers and others as you can.
25. Coupons:
Provide existing customer some discount for your existing products as
well as new ones.You can do this by providing them coupons. Make the
coupons expired after certain dates to increase and force them to take
advantage of the discount. Encourage them to pass those coupons to
their family and friends as a gift from them. People like to give away
gifts which do not cost them anything.This way you can expand your
customer numbers and make the existing customer loyal to your company
and products and finally convert them in to repeated buyers.
You can also offer free sample and go through all the steps mentioned
above.You can even advertise your samples as try before buy campaigns.
26.
Give Away Stuff
You can get free advertising for your site by giving away free
promotional items such as desktop themes,screen
savers,wallpapers,e-cards etc etc. Do not forget to put your site url
on everything you give away free. Also collect e-mail addresses of gift
receiver to make follow ups on the future.
You can also register your give away gift items at

27. Contests
You can arrange contest on
your site like best articles,best comments. Keep the rules &
prize
info clear for everyone. These will help to increase the traffic to
your site as well as increase the number of times people go back to
your site. You may want to run a contest or game, or have a guest join
your chat room.
28. Customer
Service:
Do not forget to provide excellent customer service to your existing
customers. If required do not hesitate to give full training to your
entire staff. Provide special training to the sales related staff
member and make your each staff member that the one and only goal of
the company is to provide satisfaction to the customers.
If you and your staff can do this your business will get very very good
mouth publicity from the satisfied customers and as you know this kind
of viral promotion is base on personal recommendation and so the most
powerful one.
Mail flyers to your current client base - "Web Cards"
Sometimes
when we have something new we tend to promote it to new customers and
forget about our current ones. Remember the cost of acquiring a new
customers is much much more than that of keeping an old one.
A sound
marketing company must always maintain good relationship with its
existing customer base and keep them informed about the latest
happenings.
Send a
post card or flyer announcing the launch of your Web site. Include the
URL and a brief description of what the site offers. Can your customers
order on-line? See new merchandise that just arrived?
"Web
Cards" is the perfect solution. These cards have a color picture of
your home page and your Web address on the front, and are blank on the
back for your special message, or may be pre-printed.
29.
Business JV Alliances And Partnerships:
Build a sound alliance with a company which offers relevant and
complimentary products to your own products. If suitable for both
companies,both owner can go one step further and can sign up a long
term partnership deal.
Do a joint promotion,a joint press release about the JV deal and
include other partner's products in each other's promotion. Both
partner can provide discount to existing customers. This way both
companies will increase customer base as well as sales and profits. Do
not forget to include reciprocal linking to both companies' sites.
30.
Ezine:Newsletter
You can start an ezine or a news letter to provide news about
new
developments to the existing customers. You can provide useful
information about your products and even can introduce new relevant
products of your own or of your jv partners. Through news letter you
can offer occasional discount. In short this is the great means to keep
in contact with existing customers.
31.
Answer Sites
Use the answer sites like Yahoo Answers and Google Answers to solve the
problem relevant to your niche and establish yourself as an expert in
the eyes of such sites' audience. You can add signature in your profile
and when you answer the questions asked by others,your signature will
be included in each of your reply. This way you can drive lots of
targeted visitors to your site at 0 cost to you.
32.
Bookmarking Your Site.
Do not forget to ask your visitor to book mark your site. I know they
can do that without your asking but people forget to do such simple
task so you have to remind him to do so and also provide them
instruction about how to do so. You can tell them that by bookmarking
your site they can easily visit your site at later date. This way you
will get some free repeated traffic to your site.
33.
Viral Marketing Techniques.
As I said viral marketing strategy to promote your website
with
different viral marketing techniques e.g. by giving away a free viral
e-book or software with give away rights,by providing a useful high
quality service etc etc. You can read more about this down this page in
Free Viral Websites' description.
34. Webrings
Webrings
You add some targeted traffic to your site by joining a webring
relevant to your website. Webring owner or creator or maintainer is
generally called ringmaster and he has right to accept a site or
decline it. webring provide facility to a surfer to visit similar sites
of interest from a single location and webmaster will get a chance to
share traffic with one another and the ring master will get lots of
free traffic from other ring members' sites thus this is win win
situation for everyone involved.You can get more information
from: www.webring.org
Generally Webrings are promoted under the names like
affiliations,strategic alliances,partnerships or as a webring for so
and so. There is a common idea behind each and every webring site and
that is to get together and share traffic with oneanother. You can find
webring related to your site through search engines like Google.
When you try to join a webring please keep these point in
mind...............
-Your site should be as good as other sites in the ring or it
may not be accepted.
-If the ring has no criteria or rules it is junk site and not
worth joining
-Check the standard of other sites if poor they will gain
more from your site then you get in exchange from other sites.
Still you can find Webrings which is suitable for your site's quality
and standard. The general procedure is to fill up a form and after that
the ring master review your site and if your are accepted inform you
about the further steps you have to take. If the webring is a site
designed olderly ways then you have to send an e-mail message with your
site's url and short description to the ring master and again if
accepted he will inform you about further steps you have to take.Once
accepted you will have to included webring site's link on each page of
your site.After doing this just keep a close watch on how many free
visitors you are getting and how many are sent through your site.I f
the ratio is far less then equal and if you are getting a very few
visitors in return then my suggestion is you should break the deal and
pull out your site from the webring
Just remember all the ringmates are there for mutual
benefits.
In other words helping one another to grow the business but by doing
this they are un intentionally competing with one another and so make
your site and deals different than others,just offer something original
and with special quality.
35. Measuring
your results
One of the
advantages of the Internet is that you are able to see how many people
are going to your site, what pages they are going to and when. This
information helps you to determine what people are interested in and
what they are looking for. Srijan Interactive includes such reports
with all Web site hosting packages.
36. E-mail
marketing campaign
E-mail
marketing campaigns have gotten a bad rap because of the "spammers".
Many people feel it is clogging the Internet with useless information
and tends to be very annoying to the person receiving it. Companies
tend to send the same message to the same person three, four, five
times a week. Direct e-mail marketing can be effective if used
properly, which includes using an Opt-in e-mail list, sending your
message once a month, and including an easy way to unsubscribe. click

37.
Buy an ad in an E-zine
Find and
advertise in e-zines where the subscriber base is made up of your
target market. These ads run between $5.00 and $25.00 depending on the
length and the number of subscribers. click here to place an ad in an
E-zine..
38. Announce
on your ISP's Member Site List
Announce on your ISP's Member Site List
Most Internet Service Providers (ISP) provide a list of their members
home pages. Some of these lists are rather simple. Others are broken
down into business, personal, and other categories. This is free public
relations and people do browse these lists. If for no other reason, to
see their own listing. If you can add a description, by all means do so
and spend as much care on it as you did in submitting to the search
engines.
39. E-mail to
VIPs
If you read in the paper or hear on the news, that Congressman I. M.
Polluted has given up on budget and welfare reform and has decided to
coddle up to the Model Railroading special interest in congress, you
should sent him a fax, letter, and/or e-mail announcing the great
resource that you have made available free to the web-walking public.
Representative Polluted might just be so impressed by your public
spirit and the incredible content of your web page that he reads it
into the Congressional Record the next day. And 60 minutes may find
that so noteworthy that they send Andy Rooney out to cover the story in
his next chat. Imagine, your life will never ever again be the same.
Special Interest Groups
40. Provide
Free content
If you want to generate never ending free traffic then
produce
some free content like articles,graphics,images,java scripts etc etc
and allow others to use them free on the conditions to include a link
back to your website .Best things about this is you do not have to link
back to those sites using your free content and you get lots of back
links to your site and now you know the importance of back links from
the point of SEO and SES.
41. E-books
One more way to promote your site at no cost is to create a
useful e-book relevant to your site or product and make it
available as free download from your site and provide give away rights
to others to pass the e-books to others. This way not only you can
promote your site and product to large targeted audience but also can
build a large list of targeted subscribers and even help others to do
the same without any hard work at their parts. In the process you will
get lots of free traffic to your site.As your e-book expose to more and
more people,you will receive increase amount of traffic to your site
42.
Forums,Message boards & Newsgroups
If you spend some time regularly in relevant forums,message
boards and news group and post some insightful information with your
signature then you will surely get some fair amount of traffic to your
site.None of these three allow you to post commercial ad or spam and
only way to promote your site is to include your signature in your post.
43.
Freebies Giving
Create a valuable product relevant to your site or product and give it
away free from your site on a condition to subscribe the visitor to
your mailing list. This way you can build a targeted list and get
repeat traffic to your site and increase the sale of your product by
following the prospective buyers.
44. Guest
Books
One great way to receive free traffic to your site is to sign
up
other webmasters' guest book when you visit their sites.You do not have
to post any commercial ad and it will not be allowed by any webmaster
and the webmaster will delete it and can even accuse you for spamming
his guest book.Just insert a nice comment and useful suggestions and
leave your site url at the end of the comment with your name.It is
enough to drive traffic to your site
45.
Conferences and Seminars
Try to attend as many conference and seminars as possible.
The
conferences should be relevant to your business. At seminar and
conference contact as many people as you can and give away some
valuable things with your site url like a ball pen,a paper weight,a
purse,a mug,a key chain. This will build relationship as well as
generate free traffic.
46. Free For
Alls or FFAs
As I wrote in the FFA section your link will remain on the
top
for only 15 to 20 minutes as it turns with new submitted url so
actually there is no great benefit to gain and remember not to use your
primary e-mail address for submission purpose as you are going to get
lots of validation e-mails.
Owning FFA pages - Another way to use an FFa network is to maintain
your own free FFA page by getting a pro membership. This way you get a
chance to include commercial or promotional message about your product
or site in validation e-mails.
47.
Autoresponders
Autoresponders are best friends of an online marketers as
well
as your never tiring employee which work for you 24 hours a days,7 days
a week and 365 days a year without asking about salary raise or
anything else.It is said that at least minimum 7 follow up is needed
before a prospect buy any products from you and you can make this task
of following your prospects totally automatic with the help of
autoresponders. You can insert the follow up e-mail messages in advance
in an autoresponder and the responder will automatically deliver each
message to your prospect at previously decided dates.
48. Visitor
Exchanges
There are many websites popping up on the net that are known as Traffic
or Visitor Exchanges. People become members of these sites with the
goal of generating free traffic to their site. The way it works is
quite clever.
You visit another member’s website and in exchange someone
visits
the website of your choice. Most of these programs work on a 2:1 ratio.
This means that for every two sites that you visit, someone else in
that same Start Page program will visit your site. Simple concept,
isn’t it?
49. Vehicle
Signage
Here’s an expression I hate to use: SPEND MONEY getting
stickers
for the back of your vehicles proclaiming your Web Address. Thousands
of people will spend time behind all your vehicles, including your
private family cars, and read that message. Stickers in the rear window
work brilliantly (your staff may be kind enough to stick them on their
private vehicles as well!) They are effective and very cheap when you
consider the exposure they give.
The quick and easy way to get stickers is to contact
www.wolfsigns.com.au via their "Bonza" web site:
50. Your
Business Premises
Place signs EVERYWHERE at your premises. It’s OK if they are
knocked out on your computer or even by hand and a bit rough
–
that conveys a message that this is the latest, breaking, hottest news.
All the signs have to say is "OurBusiness.com!"
Add dot com to all your existing signage. Again, it doesn’t
matter if the addition is rough! This catches the eye!
51.
Word-of-mouth
If you promote your business on the internet by providing helpful
product and service information and useful expert advice for users,
then you will soon have users promoting your business by word-of-mouth.
Word-of-mouth spreads quickly on the internet and is one of the best
forms of promotion for many businesses. Instant text messaging (SMS or
IM), social networking web sites and forums, chat and email are all
used for word-of-mouth promotions, as well as internet, mobile and
landline phone calls. Still, word-of-mouth works best in person,
face-to-face.
52. Chat
Chatting on the internet to prospects and clients can be another form
of publicity. You can even open your own chat room, conference or
webcast. You may learn more, for example, by chatting with us here.
Not all these ideas may be appropriate for your business.
The
important thing is to think creatively and experiment. The Internet is
an extremely flexible tool that gives your business many avenues for
advertisement and enables you to react quickly to customer feedback.

[1] Free Viral
Website :
You notice
the word viral. Viral
infections spread very rapidly so with this type of sites. In viral
infection you must have to come in contact with the person or a
material extracted from the person same with the viral sites your viral
url must come in contact with others.In other words you must promote
your viral url.This kind of website has a MLM like structure. The best
point is you have to visit other member's sites even before
you
can register your account so every one gets the definite
exposer.
Don't worry it is just 7 to 10 sites only &
takes only
10 to 12 minutes to watch all the sites & get the codes for
each
site .After registration & verifying your e-mail address you
can
log in & gets your own promoting url.At the sign up you have
inserted your own site so when you click or copy & paste your
own promoting url in a browser you can see a replicate site
but
with a twist of your site on the top.Now as other people join the site
thorough your URL your site goes down to one stage below &
every
one joins after you also going to promote his or her own URL so every
one including you promote other 7 to 9 site with your own
site
& so every one get millions of free visitors. This works like
an
MLM.As you know in MLM every one gets the benefit with the
efforts of team. To successfully use this kind of
advertising,you
must promote your own URL otherwise it will not work at all. Same like
an MLM. This is just a basic explanation how a viral site works for
detailed tips & tricks you should read the Free Viral page from
the
navigation menu above.
More about
Viral Technique and not about Free Viral Website
What is Viral
marketing ?
It is true fact that viral marketing increases online sales!Now a days
you can read about viral maketing across the internet but what actually
is viral marketing?
In simple term like in medical field a viral disease can infect to
anyone that comes in contact with the patient or something of the
patient.The same way in viral marketing strategy,the viral website
owner create something which his or her site visitors pass on to other
surfers on the net or hope to pass.But as in medical field it is
necessary to come in contact with either with patient or something of
patient,the same way the viral site or something of viral site must
comes in contact with other surfers.One more thing is why should viral
site's visitors help to spread the service or site to others.So the
viral webmaster should provide some free product or service which his
site visitors not only can get benefit by using it personally but can
also get benefit by introduce the service or product to others. For
example Free Viral Website(Service), visitors can get free traffic but
by introducing the free service to others,they will get more free
traffic.2nd example is viral e-book.By reading the e-book the visitor
can gain new knowledge and by giving away from his site,he can build
his list.
By using viral marketing principles you provide something
free(incentive) to your site visitors which carries your sales
mesage.You also include further benefit (with this free product or tool
which carries your sales message) if they spread the product or tool or
service to the other people.The main goal is not to push your visitors
to do that but make them spread the word voluntarily about viral thing
by providing them more benefits and in exchange generate more free
viral traffic and more free viral advertising for the viral site owner.
Another example of free viral service.....Free email services = free
viral advertising
There are many free e-mail service provider on the net and they include
an ad about their free service in the message you send to anyone.Some
also include other advertisement as well.The receiver read the message
as well as about free service and as I said because the service is not
only free but also a good quality service so he or she join and start
to use the service and when he or she send the message to anyone the
same cycle is repeated with his or her receiver and so on to infinite
level.
Best example is Hotmail(If you do not know they are the father of all
viral marketing techniques).Hotmail sends 110 million legitimate emails
each day and have 250 million active users worldwide.Just imagine if
you can put your sales message on 800 million emails/week and even you
get a very very low response then still that will be millions of
visitors to your site.
I can understand these are very huge figures and you and me can not
start such service over night so how people like you and me(webmasters)
use viral marketing in our marketing strategy with a small budget or
with 0 cost?
Best
& Free option is Articles
You can write articles about tutorials,tips and information
about
specific subject.You can add a resources box at the end with your name
and site url and submit them to article directories,ezines etc.You can
give away articles from your site as a free content.When someone needs
free content about the subject about you wrote articles and the 1st
thing he or she is going to do is to search through article directories
and when he finds your article which he wants to publish on his site
then he will have to include author resources box (which you have
included in the article with your name and your site url)to give you
credits to original author.This is must and no one can publish your
article without including resource box.This way he gets free content
and you will get back links and some free traffic to your site.When
some one visit his site and like the article and if he wants to publish
the article on his own site like person number 1 then he also has to
include a resource box and so on.Now you can easily
understand
the viral power of a single article and if you write and submit many
articles at all possible places then the sky is the limit but I am not
finish yet many people like the articles written by you but they do not
want to publish them on their sites but still they want to share these
very good content through social networking and social bookmarking.This
way your articles become more viral.
So whenever you write an article do
include a
resources box with small copy right notice like:The article is free to
publish on the condition that a publisher must include resource box
with the article and give credits to original author.
If you want to take maximum advantage of viral power of
articles
then do write multiple articles relevant to your site content. You can
submit your articles to many places on the net and there are vast
audience for written content about any subject and when the content is
Free a very large audiance is waiting for you. But if the articles are
about anything and not relevant to your site content,you will not get
much benefit from the traffic you receive.
Another way to use viral marketing is publishing viral e-book and give
it away to your site visitors and allow them to do the same. The e-book
should be relevant to the products you promote. This way not only you
can build a list of targeted subscribers but you also provide such
tools to your subscribers to do the same without any hard work and
without charging them anything. This is win win situation for
both,e-book creator/provider and receiver.
One more great way to use viral marketing is publish a news letter or
an ezine with good insightful content. If your news letter or ezine
contains high valued content and some useful information then your
subscribers are going to forward it to their friends and families. You
can also suggest them to do so and can even provide some incentive to
make them do so.
Your ezine or news letter should really have valuable information or
your subscribers will not stay with you for long time.So do not mere
sales speech in your ezine issues instead provide insightful
information about your product,service and niche and include the sales
message indirectly.
The ezines are very popular on the net from the start and still remains
the same.If you do not have content for your ezine then you can get it
written for you.There are many services available for this purpose but
believe me if you can take some time and write it yourself then your
readers will be feel attached to you and you will get credibility as an
expert in the eyes of your subscribers and they start to trust your
expertise and you and lastly your products or the products you suggest.
If you do not want to spend money and hire a professional
writer
then a free way is to search the content for your ezine in the search
engines.Type "free ezine articles for reproduction" in the search box
of any search engine and you will easily find required content.
You can also use the free viral software or podcast to use as
a viral tool.
In short viral marketing should be win win situation for both
parties-Provider and receiver.Provider gets free traffic and free
advertising by giving away a valuable service or product and receiver
gets free service or free valuable product. Receiver should get more
benefit by introducing others to the viral product or service.
[2] Free
Banner Exchange Networks(FBEN or BEN)
This is a kind of a
site where you can
join as free or pro member and then gets the codes from your member's
area & put that codes on your own site or sites &
banner
exchange network shows other members' banner ads on your sites through
these codes.You have to submit & approved your own banners to
show
your own banner ads own other members' sites. This is beneficial to
every one involved. How?
1st The Free Banner Exchange Owner :Generally in each Banner
Exchange Network Free Members' Exchange Ratio is 2:1 so the owner gets
an extra 50% impression from each free member which either he can sell
or use to promote his own business.
2nd Free Members : You got free advertising for inserting a small codes
on your site.As I wrote the ratio is 2:1.Every 2 impressions on your
site, your banner ad is shown one time on some other member's
site.You can also buy the impressions at discounted price as a member.
3rd Pro Member : For a nominal monthly membership fee you can get the
1:1 exchange ratio so more exposer for your ads.
You see every
one involved gets the benefits as a form of banner ads.
To be successful in this kind of advertising you must insert
appropriate codes,check that codes are working & you must get
the
impressions(your site should have traffic) within the terms
&
conditions of a banner network so if possible I suggest to insert the
codes on a prominent place on your web page.
[3] Free
Advertising Sites :
There are many many
sites on the net
where you can advertise your business or money making opportunities
absolutely free but some of them are more effective & some of
them
are not at all so I have included here only ones which are tested
&
providing results.Each of this site works differently
& there
is no common way of describing them except that you get the free
advertising. So you to get all the information about these
sites
you should go to the navigation menu above or below & visit the
pages by pressing Free Ad button.
[4] Free
Traffic Exchange Networks(FTEN) :
There are
two kind Free Traffic
Exchange Networks.1. Free Manual Surf Traffic Exchange Networks(FMTE)
& 2. Free Auto Surf Traffic Exchange Networks(FATE).Free Manual
Traffic Exchange is better but you can also get benefits from even Free
Auto Surf Exchanges.In FMTE you surf other members' sites & to
see
the next site you will have to either click on a number or an image or
for a new mouse over facilitated FMTE just have to put your
mouse
over the number or image(no clicking required).In other words your
presence is required for surfing.In FATE next site comes automatically.
No clicking required by you.In other words your presence is not
required so they are far less effective.
In a traffic exchange a free member generally gets 2:1 surfing
ratio(Differs with each traffic exchange) so when you visit 2 sites
your site has been shown once on the network to other members.To get
enough exposer & to keep your account active you must
surf
the joined traffic exchanges regularly.You can also buy the hits from
inside the members' area.Same as Free Banner Exchanges every on
involves is get benefit of free traffic & free advertising.
[5] Text Ad
Exchanges (TAE) :
This is relatively new kind of
free
advertising sites but in many ways similar to credit based
safelists except that in these kind of site you earn credits even
clicking a banner & text ads inside your members' area.Now a
days
this is one of the best way to get free exposer to your business or
other money making opportunities & far more effective then any
other means of advertising.
To use
this kind of
sites(Thousands of them are available-free to join) you must have
enough credits to send your e-mail messages to other members &
earn
credits you must read other members' e-mail measges & click the
credit links.Same as credit based safelists except that once you have
enough credits you can send your e-mail message to every member of the
site.
Again there is a free as well
multi types of
membership offers from the site owners & every site has its own
membership fees(for upgraded membership) & benefits. You can
read
that on each sites. Mostly these kinds of sites accept only Gmail
e-mail address so you should have one or you can easily open a free
Gmail account.Most of them also provide paid to click ads for cash
earning & with enough cash in your account they even allow you
to
either withdraw your amount or upgrade your membership.
Terms,conditions & rules differ with each
site & you must obey those thing to use the site.
[6]
Forums :
Forums are very effective
ways to not only get free targeted traffic but also get very high pr
quality back links to your site.Actually you should search the forums
related to your niches/business by inserting search term "keyword +
forums".You should use your signature in the forum to get maximum
result.Some forum even required regular posting to be remain
active.There are many softwares available which help you to automate
the process partially & save your time.This method of free
traffic
is time confusing but it is one of the most effective method
& must be use by a serious marketer.I have included here some
most
effective forums.
[7] Social Book
Marking Sites :
This is a kind of
site where anyone can
save your url to access latter by him or general public.Why anyone does
this?Because he or she liked the information on your site &
want to
easily access it when he/she has more time & also to
share
the information either with friend or public.
These are also high pr
authoritative sites & not only millions & millions of
urls have
been saved there but also millions of people visit theses kind of sites
everyday. Modern social book marking sites provide many other
features & if you are serious about your business you
must
learn to use these sites effectively.
[8] Article
Directories :
One of the free and
best way to promote
any site is article marketing. As I said above you are applying lots of
marketing strategies in one through article marketing....e.g.Viral
marketing,Search engine marketing,Content marketing,Link building etc
etc.l have already written enough above in Free Viral Sites so will not
repeat. Here in this section you will find some tips,tricks and the
name of important article directories where you can submit your
articles.
[9] Social
Sites or Community Sites :
These are the sites which can
give immediate
boost to any kind of sites.You can sign up and get free membership or
can get a pro account for a small fee but it is very difficult to use
these sites effectively & not so simple just sign up &
insert
your ads & get the result.There are ways to use each kind of
this
site effectively & your business of any kind can be exposed to
millions of people & can be achieved the result &
growth beyond
your wildest imagination but you will have to learn to use these sites
effectively. There is no common tutorial or steps you can follow. Each
site requires different technique & tricks. I can write a
separate
book for how to use each site effectively so this is not the
right place & not even possible to write all the
information
here. Even it can not be learn over night by anyone.
The common
things among all these sites are : Each site has millions of
members,each site is an authoritative high ranked sites,free to join
& free to contact & invite other members so if you are
absolute
new to these sites you can still get lots of benefit.How?Just sign up
with each site & insert your all the websites' urls
in your
profile,use the classified section & blog section &
actively
participate & invite other like minded same
interested people
to join you as a friend.
Now a days
this is the most effective ways to reach millions of people & I
have included all the sites that I myself use everyday & going
to
include new ones.
[10] Video
Sharing Sites :
These are again
very high ranked authority sites.People are crazy about this new multi
media platform & you are crazy as a marketer if you don't take
advantage of this craziness!Millions of people visit these sites
everyday & if you want a laser targeted free traffic then these
are
the sites you should use effectively.
Believe me it is not
difficult at all to make simple videos about your business or
website & upload them to these kind of sites.Many softwares are
available to create stunning videos & uploading automatically
to
these sites.You can even use your pc's inbuilt utility movie
maker to design simple videos.
In short you must use videos
in your marketing & I have listed all the sites & going
to add
new ones.
[11] Ad
Boards :
As the name suggest
this is a kind of
site where you can submit free ads & it will remain on the site
for
predecided time/days(decided by site admin/owner) and other members who
visit the site to submit his or her own advert may take a look at other
members ads.Not very effective way but you definitely get some exposer
& back links to your own site.I suggest don't waste much time
after
this type of free advertising.You should use a software to submit to
many adbords similarly so you can not waste much time.you
will
get the information about the software on the Ad Boards pages &
it
is not a freeware!I mean you have to paid once for the software
&
then you can use it to submit your ads to 500 adbords.No monthly fees
will be required.
[12] Photo
Share Sites :
Yes you can use
Photo Sharing sites at some extent to drive traffic to your sites.
There are many photo sharing sites around the internet but some them
more important from the point of marketing than others. Read more about
them in the related section
[13] Web
Directories :
These are the most
effective traditional ways to get high ranked in search engine
&
get lot of free traffic.It was working in past,works today &
will
work in future.
I have included here
many directories where you can submit your content & get not
only
free traffic but higher search engine ranking by getting quality back
links to your own site.I have included many tools & services
which
you can use to save your time.
[14]
NEWS Groups :
Before the
wide spread of the net,news groups were the only means online for
exchanging messages with others. People were using modem and dial uo
connection to connect to the news groups. There millions of them as
usenet networks and you can find a newsgroup almost on any subject.
Millions of people use them every day so if you can participate in a
newsgroup relevant to your own products or site,you can drive lots of
traffic to your site but remember spam will not tolerated in any news
group. You can not post any ad or commercial message directly.Like
forum you can insert your site url in your news group signature
[15]
TB Ads :
As the name suggests after joining the site you
will be
given a toolbar codes/software which can be installed on your own PC.
You will get detailed instructions inside your members' area of each
site. There are different versions for different browser so download
the appropriate version according to the browser you use the most.I
recommend Mozila Firefox for security & fast browsing.After
installing the tool bar you don't have to do anything new to get the
free advertising.Just surf the net & work as you generally do
&
if you find some interesting ad on your browser's tool bar click
&
visit the site & you will get more credits.Amazing way to get
free
advertising right!
[16]
Blogs :
It was a time
when blogging was consider a new technology but not now. Every one know
about them.This is a vast subject & can not be explained
everything
here. It is not right the place to explain. Just keep in mind that by
submitting comments on higher ranking do follow blogs related to your
own niches/business,you will get one way authorized back links to your
own sites which most of search engines like,specially Giant Google.I
have included here free tools in this section by using them you can
find higher ranked do follow blogs related to your
business/niches/keywords(There is not much benefit to submit your
comment on not or do not follow blogs) & can submit your
comments
on these blogs.I have also included some do follow higher ranked blogs
themselves.
If you use this method of free
advertising
& free traffic effectively & if your site is optimized
for
search engines by targeted keywords then you will be surprised by the
free targeted traffic you get from the search engines.
[17] Free For Anyone
Networks(FFAs) :
You might heard that
don't waste your time with FFAs. They are not working now!Wrong !Still
they are many FFAs where not only you get backlinks to your site by
submitting your sites,get a very little exposer as every one on a FFA
page is there to either submit his or her site manually or now a dasy
people use submitting softwares to submit his or her own sites to
thousands of FFA pages so they never visit your site at all but some of
the FFAs provide free leads(E-mail addresses) to even free members
& that is the most interesting part.
Terms,conditions & rules
differ with each site & you
must obey those thing to use the site.
You get
free backlinks,some
exposer & interestingly free leads & some even allow
you to
download it everyday. Now what if you are a member of 10 FFAs &
each only supplies 200 leads everyday then that is 200x10 = 2000
new prospects you can reach free of charge & monthly
2000x30
= 60,000 prospects. You can send e-mail messages to them
about
your business or money making opportunities(terms & conditions
apply)
What to do
with this free leads as
your auto responder service provider or web hosting provider will not
allow you to e-mail them. They will consider this as a spam!So what to
do?Even your ISP may not allow(Generally not allowed!)so you can not
even send from your own PC!Then what is the use of all these leads,
right?Nothing to worry,I will show an amazing simple way on
FFA
pages how you can send them without the fear of SPAM & send
even
without spending any money.But I am not going to give you is as a free
meal.Although you cab send the e-mails free of charge,you have to buy
my report to know the exact method.So there is a nominal intial
investment to acquire the knowledge but you can use the method and send
free e-mail for life long.1st I have decided to provide the information
here without any cost but this is vital information and one can even
misuse it and so to keep spammers and serious marketers seperated,I
decided to charge a nominal sum but believe me every penny spent is
worth thousan times more than what you get in exchange.
There are both kind
of memberships are
available at this kind of sites & naturally pro members get
more
leads & other beneficial advantages. again terms,conditions
&
rules
differ with each site & you must obey those thing to use the
site.
[18] RSS :
RSS stands for Really
Simple Syndication. There are many RSS feed directories where you can
submit your site's RSS feed to these directories & not only get
free traffic but also high ranked authoritative back links to your site.
If you are new
to this you most probably are thinking where to get RSS feeds
for
my own site then let me answer you have to create them.But I
don't how to create RSS feeds then again nothing to
worry & without going in to much technicality I have
included
here a free online tools with which help even a computer illetrate can
create RSS feeds for his or her site.I have also included other
tools.This is also one of the most effective ways to get long term free
traffic to your site.
[19] Press
Release :
Press Release is one
of the best marketing strategy and you should use it frequently. With a
single press release you can get so much exposer and free publicity
that you can never by that with any amount of money.Make a habit of
submitting press release whenever something news worthy happens in your
business.Press Relese can also provide you SEO advantage and it is
possible to getn your new site indexed in majot search engines very
quickly by properly using press
release.
[20] Pixel
Ads :
Pixel ads were new
concept before but not now.I never get much traffics from these sites
but you definitely get quality back links from this kind of sites.Very
few provid free advertising & you have to purchase a pixele
spot
for a yearly or life time spot.In this kind of a site you submit your
pixele ad & your ad is on a pixel page which has millions of
other
link so a good pexel page is most probably a high pr page & so
you
get a high pr back link(links if you have purchased more than 1 spots)
to your site and your search engines' ranking improves. I have included
here some of the most effective Pixel Ad Sites(including both free
& paid ones)
[21]
Safelists :
Safelist is a one of
unique kind of membership sites where everyone joins & agrees
to
receive commercial e-mail message from the other members of the site as
well as admin or owner.There are basically two kinds of
safelists.1.Simple or General Safelist(Older technology but some of
them are still very effective.2.Credit Based Safelist where
you
must have credits to send your messages to other members & to
get
free credits you must read other members e-mail messages &
click
the credit links in the message to earn credits so these kind of
safelists are more effective then General simple ones.There are
millions of safelists on the net but each one is not effective so I
have included only tested ones in the Safelists section.
In short safelists
are the sites where
you can get free e-mail advertising & with a single click you
can
reach the entire database of the members(Depends on your membership
level).Generally free members can only send e-mail messages to other
free members,have to receive messages from every member &
can
send less frequently while pro members can send to pro & free
both,have receive e-mail messages only from other pro members
& can send his or e-mail ads more frequently & this way
get
more exposer.
In many safelists there are multi types
of
memberships e.g. Free,Pro,Executive,Platinum etc & the same
rules
apply as shown above as Free & Pro members.
Every safelist has its own terms,conditions
& rules & you must obey those thing to use the site.
[22]
Classifieds :
In a way classifieds
are effective and not effective both.If you are in a niche/business
which targets general net surfer/public then you will get vary
effective results
& if you are in net marketing niche then it will not work
well.There are millions of classified sites all over the
net.No
one can submit to all the sites manually & each site
is not
effective.The solution?Use either a good classified service or
use a good software to automate the process.I have included here some
classified sites which are tested & provide desired
results.
[23] Yellow
Pages :
Big business generally
advertise in the offline Yellow Pages Directory but you can do that if
you can afford.Best way to take advantage of such type of advertising
is through online yellowpages sites.You can place a small ad like
classifieds.You can read more about yellow pages advertising in Yellow
Pages Section.
[24] Link Exchange
:
This are
the sites where as a member you can exchange a link with similar sites
of your niche and get higher search engine ranking with mutually
beneficial way. This is actually not free advertising or free traffic
resources directly but with this method you can get many reciprocal
link exchange partners,the exchange itself act as middle man &
provides you facility to maintain,manage & acquire new link
exchange partner at the same time keep in contact with your link
exchange partners. They have means to know your link partners has
actually put your link on his or her site or not &
thus you
get genuine partners who are really interested in mutually
benefits.
More link exchange partners
you have = Equals more ranking in search engine(Must have similar
niches targeted sites) & thus more free search engines traffic
with
their own blessing.
There are free & paid
both types of services available & I have included only tested
free
ones but as you know you can always get more benefits from an upgraded
pro membership.
Terms,conditions & rules differ
with each site & you must obey those thing to use the site.
[25] SEO-SES :
SEO stands for search
engine optimization and SES stands for search engine submission.Search
engine optimization is very vast subject and can not be learn over
night.Big companies spend millions of dollar to rank high and keep the
existing ranking but in this section I want to show you the basic of
SEO and you must use basic SEO rules while designing your site.You
should submit your site to all the major search engines.In this section
you can learn basic of SEO and some tools for free submission of your
site.
