 Do you realize how many websites and
directories exist on the internet? They're just sitting
there waiting for you to submit your website.
This type of submission method does take quite a bit of
time to implement, but when done properly, it can bring
you large amounts of traffic.
Make Time to Submit!
The point being made here is that you should always make
the time to submit your website, wherever you think that
you can qualify to get it listed. As you can guess, there
are probably thousands of websites and different types of
directories on the internet. Think about this low cost and
mostly free promotional system, especially if you
operating on a low budget.
A business acquaintance gave me some hints a while back so
I'll pass them onto you. You can locate these places to
register your website by searching on Google for terms
like:
** "add url" "your keywords"
** "add site" "your keywords"
** "add link" "your keywords"
** "submit url" "your keywords"
** "submit site" "your keywords"
** "submit link" "your keywords"
Be sure to go through all the pages that Google lists so
you can add your website url wherever you do qualify.
After you complete the Google listings, visit the
following places to submit your website details:
1. Website Directories - locate them by doing a
search for "directory" "your keywords"
on Google.
2. Article Directories - find
these directories by searching for "article
directory" on Google and then submit your articles to
as many of these article directories as possible.
This is an excellent viral promotion method, if you
include a resource box, giving ezine publishers and
interested readers, the right to use and pass around your
articles.
Usually, there is no cost associated with promoting
articles. Somebody is always looking for good content. One
important thing to always remember is this: never make
your resource box look, smell or taste like an ad. If you
really don't know how to write an appropriate resource
box, it's best if you hire a professional copywriter to do
the job for you.
Why is this viral marketing system so important? Well, it
can save you a bundle in advertising costs and it can help
brand your business identity, at no cost. Articles can
travel the net for years, reaching people that you'd
probably never be able to reach.
Promote yourself the smart way. Never discount submitting
articles, in as many places as possible. If you really
feel that your writing skills are lacking, hire a
ghost-writer to write a few articles for you. The money
you can save on advertising, will more than cover the cost
of a few ghost-written articles.
3. Ezine Directories - You can submit information
about your Opt-In List to these directories.
4. Mailing List Directories - Submit details about
your Opt-In List to these directories.
5. Freebie Directories - if you do happen to offer
free things on your website, such as a free email course
or a free report, then you can also submit to these sites.
If you make time to submit your website and written
materials all over the net, you'll be creating the
opportunity to have a lot of links pointing to your
website. Yes, this will take a substantial amount of time
on your part, but it can save you money if you have a low
budget to promote your business.
It's true that some websites will request or even require
a return reciprocal link to them. Save time and find a
reciprocal link tool that suits your taste and budget. Use
it to manage your link exchanges.
Quality linking from all over the net can bring some daily
traffic to your website. We all know that sales usually
have to be created from people viewing your offers so
hopefully, as you increase the number of visitors who will
see your offers, you'll be able to convert a decent amount
of this website traffic into new subscribers and possible
customers!
