HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR SITE:


1. SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

  • 95% of Internet traffic originates at one of the 10 major search engines...If you're not listed, you might as well not even have a web site!
  • Choosing the most effective 'keywords' is one of the major keys to a successful web site submission.
  • Using a so-called search engine submission software that submits your site to 1,000 or more search engines could actually get your page deleted from the major search engines.
  • The best way is to visit the top search engines and directories yourself and submit your site to them individually, using their guidelines. This is how we got our main site dsBIZ.com listed with Yahoo.

2. CLICK AND BANNER EXCHANGES

There are many free "click" and "banner" services available to supposedly promote your site.
But many are just schemes to make money via clickthrus. Also, be aware that the "exposure" your site will get here is mainly to other webmasters and not to the general public. Nevertheless, here are some we've used which you may want to try:



CLICK THRU is an excellent program and has been around for quite awhile.
You get to rate other sites AND for every site you visit, you get a GUARANTEED hit to your site!
(Psst: the Bonus Icon is at the bottom of this page!)

Remote Control Internet!


Webmaster Quest works very well at generating click-for-click traffic.
They also have an easy to use start-page:

With banner exchange services, if you put their banners on your site, they will put your banner on other sites. But don't count on getting that many hits this way. We used a free banner system and for 6,969 impressions (showings) we got just 42 visitors. If you are still interested though, here's one to try:


Advertise your website for free to over 15,000,000 people at over 80,000 websites!

3. WEB RINGS:

Web Rings are great for hobby websites and collectors. For example there is a Web Ring for model train lovers. Depending on the content of your web site, joining a web ring may be helpful in gaining more visitors. To learn more about Web Rings Click Here.



4. FFA:

What does "FFA" stand for?
It's a "Free For All" system that uses simple indexes of sites organized into a few categories. As new sites are added to an FFA page, the oldest ones are deleted. Warning: if you list your site, you may receive hundreds of "thank you" emails with numerous sales pitches. But your site address WILL appear on hundreds of links pages for a short period of time. The secret to FFA isn't the links--it's the autoresponder emails that go out (a well written email can mean many referrals).
UPDATE: We have stopped using FFA listings due to many problems with email spamming!
