One of the most important aspects of launching your website is
marketing, it increases exposure to your website and contributes
to the success of your business. A successful website incorporates
a mix of traditional and Internet marketing strategies.
I will work with you to establish an effective web marketing plan
that fits within your budget and business objectives. Remember,
the more you promote a well-designed site, the higher your return
on investment (ROI) will be.
Search Engine Submission / Organic Listings
Search engines use robots to index web sites and there is no fee
for this service. However, it is important to choose your optimization
strategy wisely to get all your pages indexed and hand submit your
URL so that you are not excluded from an engine's index because
of spamming. Spamming (as related to search engines) is forcing
unsolicited or unwanted web pages into a search engines database
which is sometimes caused by automated search engine submission
software programs.
Directory Listing
A listing of sites that have been reviewed and approved by editors
and organized into categories. Choose your title, description and
category wisely. Some directories may charge a fee for inclusion
or review:
Yahoo! Express requires a US$299.00 non-refundable, recurring annual
fee per submission but does not guarantee a listing in the Yahoo!
directory, nor does it guarantee the type of placement or description
that your site will receive if accepted.
Paid Inclusion (Paid Listing)
Paid Inclusion allows you to pay a fee to be listed in a search
engine index or directory. This option guarantees that pages are
added quickly and revisited on a regular basis though there is no
guarantee where pages will rank in the SERP.
URL Inclusion - A set fee is charged per URL
per year.
XML Feed - Hundreds of URLs can be submitted
for a fixed Cost Per Click (CPC) rate.
Link Popularity Campaigns
Increase your website exposure and search engine ranking by building
qualified links to your site from targeted, industry related sites
with a strategic link popularity campaign. Avoid link farms or free
for all sites that offer little or no content as your site may be
penalized by the search engines.
Email Campaigns
Reach your target audience, build customer relationships and track
the effectiveness of your efforts with a strategic email marketing
campaign. Be sure to write compelling copy, use double-opt-in (with
opt-out) email lists, and always measure the response and conversion
rates.
Affiliate Marketing
Develop well positioned online partnerships to buy targeted traffic
to your site on a performance basis. You offer website owners an
incentive to link to your site by rewarding them with a commission
once they send a visitor that performs a particular 'action' (sales,
clicks, or registrations).
