3 Free Website Marketing Ideas

3 Free Website Marketing Ideas - Easy And Quick

Online marketing is not cheap. You can spend thousands of dollars on Pay Per Click (Google Adwords) and thousands of site-targetted dollars (AdBrite), and you can spend thousands just buying text links from individual sites. Trust me, I've spent thousands on advertising.

However, my favorite form of marketing is the free kind. Anything free I like, especially if it helps my websites make more money without increasing my advertising costs.

Here are three easy and quick ways to market your website at no additional cost.

1. Free Business Cards

Free business cards are a staple in my advertising arsenal. You can leave them everywhere and give them to anyone. The best part is, they are free! Use them where you want, when you want, and as often as possible. That is the motto I live by whenever I get a shipment of free business cards in the mail.

2. Link Exchanges

Link exchanges are a great way of spreading Page Rank, but also of sharing visitors. Most people who like a site will bookmark it. After they have read everything they want, they will read the site that you link to. You get the visitors, and share the visitor through a link exchange.

3. Business card networking

After you have received your free business cards, use them to network with other people. Everytime you meet someone, hand them one of your free business cards. After that, ask for one of their business cards in exchange. If they don't have one, make sure you mention what you do, and the website address that is also listed on your free business card. Free business cards make a great networking tool if you will put them to use. Never forget, they are free, and should not be used sparingly. Use them in any situation you can think of. People will take them home and visit your site when they pull your business card out of their pocket.

With those three free website marketing ideas, your website will not only be more successful, but you won't have to spend any of your hard earned money on marketing!

5 Essential Elements of Profitable Sites

5 Essential Elements of Profitable Sites What technology tools do successful websites use? Remember that a website is a store front; itís your customer service rep, delivery guy and your marketing department rolled up into one. ìWe are openî People donít enter stores that have a closed sign at the door. (Well, some do, but you know, we are talking about the law abiding kind here.) Nothing says Closed louder on a website than old content: old date references and postings. So one of the best things you can do is to get a script that keeps the current date front and center for your visitors. You don't have to update it everyday ñ it does it all by itself. Now that people think you are home, and open for business, they may inquire about your product. You must have a customer service desk. This can take the form of a form where they fill out their name and email. It can be to simply subscribe to your newsletter or they may have a specific question. If you want to hav...

Facebook: $750 Million in Hand Worth More than $2 Billion in Sky

It came up conversationally, but I believe Iím the only person at my company to have firsthand experience as a user of Facebook.com. It was kind of funny to have all these online advertising professionals asking me all about the website everybody used in college. Didnít they get the memo? Iím new. I should be asking the questions around here. The subject of Facebook.com is an interesting one thatís worth a closer look. Without question, 2005 was the year of MySpace. Before Rupert Murdochís $580 million social networking venture took the interactive world by storm, itís difficult to believe that even the most optimistic of the billionaireís lackeys would have predicted that new acquisition would more than quadruple its reach within a matter of months. With 23.5 billion page views by February, MySpace became the second most trafficked site on the Internet. Murdochís success naturally generated buying interest in anything deemed online s...

Blogging: Let's Get You Started

1 - Fresh topics are important to keep your blog readership interested, and now we're going to discuss just how you can do that. What are you going to write about? It should be a topic that you're passionate about or are at the very least interested in. If you've chosen blogging as your new career, then you don't want to torture yourself by writing about something that you have zero interest in, otherwise you might as well return to that mundane job you just quit! Feelings and emotions show through your writing, so your readers will notice any indifference you may have toward a certain topic that you find boring. Don't forget the advice about writing with a personality. Forced writing will not establish you in the world of blogging at all. Once you've chosen your main theme -- or if it has chosen you, then that's even better -- start posting to your blog and try to get into the habit of doing that at least once every day. It doesn't always ne...
