Marketing Your Site

What's New ?

Quick and Easy!

Here is a quick and easy way to promote your web site. 

Contact your suppliers and associates and ask them to exchange links to each others web sites. Your suppliers have a natural interest in your success and most will be happy to add your link to their site. Associates realize that exposure is important and should be glad to exchange links with you.

A supplier may offer goods and services that are very diverse from the items you purchase from them, and you probably offer items from more than one supplier. This means that visitors to your suppliers web site may be natural customers for you.

Your associates should look at a link exchange as an opportunity to expose themselves to people who may already be interested in your product or service. I know this seems like creating competition but if a visitor to an associates site doesn't want to by from them, I'm sure your associate would at least like them to buy from you.

 BLOGS

BLOGS aren't new but the number of them popping up all over the internet is. Blog's, short for weblogs is a personal journal or summary posted on the internet. Blog's often include reflections and opinions posted on a daily basis. Often a list of the Authors favorite links are posted as well. 

Blog's are typically presented in journal form and some offer the immediate opportunity for readers to respond. 

During the last Presidential Election bloggers were credited with exposing the "phony documents" that caused Dan Rather to ultimately resign. Many people think this exposure had a lot to do with the results of the election. Popular Blog's can have rather large audiences and substantial influence.

Blog's represent what is best and worst on the internet. A Blogger that takes what he or she writes seriously can distribute valuable information internationally at very little cost. But the opposite of this is true as well. 

There are blogs for just about every interest. Try a search for blogs on Google or Yahoo.

3. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM. 
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. 
5. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. 
6. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up. 
7. You have no idea what time Taco Bell closes anymore. 
8. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

Desktop Search Tool Matrix 

Desktop search tools can save untold hours when you have lost a file on your computer or are looking for an item on the internet. Search tools offer many options that are not available from the search function in a standard operating system 

If you are searching the internet, search tools can save you hours by searching several search engines at once. Some tools will even search news groups and other information sources.
